Chapter Fifty-Seven: Killing the King

Yang Leyu pointed to his father's shoes, "Did you have such shoes in ancient times?" She thought for a moment, this statement seemed strange, and changed her words: "Have you ever seen shoes like this?" ”

Mu Chengzhou shook his head, but he also looked at it carefully, "I seem to have an impression of this man." ”

Yang Leyu: "Do you know him?" ”

Mu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes, "I can't say I recognize it, but I just have a familiar impression." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps from above, "They're down there!" Master Pei said that there is a reward for catching it! ”

Oh no, those people are catching up!

Yang Leyu looked at Mu Chengzhou, "Where should we go?" ”

"Follow me!" Du Kang didn't know when he also got down the secret passage, pulled up Yang Leyu and ran.

Mu Chengzhou was eager to protect his wife, and also grabbed Yang Leyu's hand, and the three of them ran away in the passage hand in hand.

Du Kang led them through the exit on the other side to the aft deck and "jumped into the river!" ”

Yang Leyu hesitated: "I...... No water! ”

Du Kang: "I protect you!" He then jumped into the river and opened his arms to catch the sheep Leyu.

Mu Chengzhou glanced at him coldly, and said to Yang Leyu: "I know water, you can jump with confidence." ”

The thugs behind were about to follow, Yang Leyu closed his eyes tightly and plunged into the water.

Mu Chengzhou also fell into the water and swam to the shore.

Yang Leyu fluttered in the river like a dog, and Mu Chengzhou held her with one hand and pulled the water with the other.

Du Kang was not to be outdone, and when he swam to the shore first, he was about to reach out and pull Yang Leyu.

Mu Chengzhou glared at him, "Take away your dirty hands." ”

Du Kang said angrily: "She is now the girl of my family, and she will be the young grandmother of the Du family in the future, what are you ex-stirring up?" ”

Yang Leyu almost choked on water when she heard him, "Don't make any noise, it's important to escape." ”

The three of them climbed ashore wet, and seeing that the thugs behind them had not stopped chasing, Du Kang said: "I'll lure them away, sheep girl, don't forget our agreement, Young Master Ben will marry you soon!" ”

When he said that, he ran in the opposite direction.

Mu Chengzhou looked at Yang Leyu hesitantly, "What did you promise him?" ”

Yang Leyu didn't dare to tell him about it, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Take a boat, let's hurry home!" ”

Mu Chengzhou looked at her suspiciously, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go home." ”

The two returned to the mansion where they had temporarily stayed, and Yang Leyu was worried about the scholar's injury and Gan Tang's comfort, so he first saw how they were, but when he opened the door, he couldn't find anyone.

"Mr. Zhang?" Yang Leyu called, "Gantang? ”

"Don't look for it, they've been taken." Mu Chengzhou picked up a letter left on the table.

The letter read: Thank you for the kindness of Master Mu and the sheep girl, Zhang was forced to make a living, and had no choice but to succumb to Willy and borrow Miss Gantang together. If there is any difficulty in the future, Zhang is willing to help with all his might. Best wishes.

Yang Leyu: "It must be Pei Shilang who threatened him!" ”

Mu Chengzhou pondered, "You still forgot one person." ”

Yang Leyu turned her beautiful eyes, and Huo Ran said: "Du Yuanwai! ”

Du Yuanwai is Du Kang's father, he was also on the flower boat in the fight just now, and he probably knew what happened to his son, so he sent someone to find this place, threatened Zhang Qi and took Gan Tang away.

Mu Chengzhou: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Pei Shilang and Du Yuanwai are grasshoppers tied to a rope, I am afraid that their manpower will soon surround this place." ”

He said, "Let's go, go to the yamen." ”

The Qianjun Yamen is the highest local official office, and the office there is a county official, whose official position is higher than that of Du Yuanwai, and he is a serious court official. If they could have enlisted the help of the juncheng, their situation would not have been so dangerous.

A small official stood in front of him, "Do you two report the case or find someone?" ”

Yang Leyu: "Official, we are distinguished guests from the palace, and we have important things to see your lord." ”

The little official was disdainful: "Who wouldn't make up lies?" What is the evidence? ”

Mu Chengzhou immediately took off the jade pendant of the coiled dragon pendant and gave it to him, he was secretly startled, glanced at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Please wait, the little one will go in and report it." ”

Yang Leyu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that in Qianjun, it is not a barbarian land for monkeys to act as the king of the mountain, after all, someone is in charge.

Mu Chengzhou took the time to look around, although the county yamen was old, but fortunately, it was simple and neat, two 'quiet' big flats hung on the wall, and in the corner lay two wooden boxes covered with black cloth.

There was faint movement in the wooden box, which seemed to contain living creatures.

"Little lamb, don't you think that wooden box is familiar?" Mu Chengzhou motioned to her.

Yang Leyu looked at it, it was indeed familiar, she had seen the same wooden box in the secret passage of the flower boat, which was also covered with black cloth, and she didn't know what it contained.

"Not good." Mu Chengzhou's eyebrows tightened, "We were fooled." ”

Yang Leyu's newly fallen heart was lifted again, "How come?" ”

Mu Chengzhou: "The jade pendant I gave to the official is an accessory of the Son of Heaven, he is well versed in the official way and it is impossible not to recognize it, there has been no news for so long, he must have gone to report the news!" ”

He took Yang Leyu's hand, "Run!" ”

Yang Leyu was dragged out of the inner hall by him, but was surrounded by the laborers outside the official gate, and at this time, the little servant also rushed back with a group of thugs, and it became an embattled situation.

Yang Leyu looked at them vigilantly, pretending to be calm: "Wait for the bold son, Your Majesty is in front of you, and you haven't seen the Son of Heaven yet!" ”

The little official was not afraid, "Lord Juncheng said, these two people stole the jade pendant of the Son of Heaven and also intended to disguise His Majesty the Emperor, and they were guilty of complicity and rebellion, and they should be punished according to the law!" I'll kill them on the spot! ”

Yang Leyu also wanted to explain, but Mu Chengzhou said in a low voice: "You don't have to bother talking, they knowingly commit a crime, this is going to kill the king." ”

Yang Leyu was stunned, the little county government dared to do such a thing as reversing right and wrong and deceiving the king, it seems that Pei Shilang is right, his backer is not ordinary tough.

The laborers swung long knives and sticks and hugged them, and Mu Chengzhou raised his feet to resist several momentum, but there were too many people, even if the front fell, the back rushed as if they were not dying, and it was conceivable that the people behind the scenes promised to buy the emperor's life with a lot of money.

"Take a boat! Left! Yang Leyu was blocked by Mu Chengzhou, constantly telling him where the sneak attacker came from.

Mu Chengzhou was not equipped with a sword, and the long knife of labor was fast and sharp, and blood was seen when it passed over his shoulder blade.

Mu Chengzhou was injured and moved a little slower, so those people had a chance to take advantage of it.

Yang Leyu's heart was in his throat, but he couldn't help much.

"The minister's escort is late, Your Majesty forgives the sin!" Suddenly, a rough sound sounded, and Jiang Ben fell from the sky.

Mu Chengzhou stood up with his arms and put it on his shoulder, "Good brother, it seems that you are reluctant to die." ”

Jiang Ben smiled in his hat, then folded his hands and held the knife, and stabbed at the laborers.

Where are the laborers his opponents, most of them will be killed and injured after a few moves.

Yang Leyu interjected into the air to support Mu Chengzhou, "Take the boat, after Mr. Jiang's palace, let's leave here first!" ”
