Seeing Lin Hong, Lin Hong knew that Zhang Jin was a guest who came a few days ago, and saw that Ye Tong came to borrow it, so he brought his beloved jujube red horse over.

Zhang Jin saw that the horse was blood-red all over the body, without a trace of variegation, and knew that it was a good horse, so he quickly thanked Lin Hong, hurriedly turned over the horse, and galloped away.

After a while, Zhang Jin came to the corner of the street, picked up Li Qian, and the two rode together, out of the village, and chased after them along the road to the county seat.

Don't look at the jujube red horse carrying two people, but it is still galloping, and after a while, I saw the figures of Zhao Jiangxi and Xiao Zhuzi in front of me from a distance, Zhang Jin "shouted", slowed down the horse, no longer galloped, and only followed from a distance.

After more than an hour, Zhao Jiangxi and Xiao Zhuzi finally came to Fengyuan County, perhaps because the new dynasty soldiers were imminent in the city, the streets were much more deserted than before, but occasionally pedestrians, cars and horses passed through the streets, and the lines were in a hurry.

The small bolt led the way, and in a moment he came to a jewelry store.

This jewelry store is near the county office, Zhao Jiangxi thought of Lu Fangshan, and thought: "I don't know what this county magistrate is busy with now?" ”

The two turned over and dismounted, tied their horses to the stakes along the street, and did not go a few steps until they heard a commotion, and out of nowhere, a group of ragged street children came out of nowhere and surrounded them.

Most of these children are orphans left behind by the war, with no relatives and no food and clothing.

They surrounded Zhao Jiangxi and Xiao Zhuzi, stretched out their little black and dirty hands, and looked at them with pitiful and helpless eyes without blinking.

Looking at such eyes, Zhao Jiangxi's heart pierced like a needle, and he took out the silver taels from his arms and gave them to these children one by one.

The children took the money and soon dispersed.

Zhao Jiang Xihe small bolt into the jewelry store, the store is very deserted, although there are all kinds of jewelry in the store cabinet, dazzling, but there is not a single customer, a few big men who look like bodyguards on the side are standing.

When the shopkeeper saw a guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically and asked, "Two guest officers, what do you need?" ”

Zhao Jiangxi hesitated for a moment and finally explained his intention, and the shopkeeper smiled and chose a pair of exquisite, oily and delicate Hetian jade bracelets for him, Zhao Jiangxi carefully looked at it, and was very satisfied, so he decided to buy it.

"How many taels of silver do I need for this bracelet?" Zhao Jiangxi asked.

"Now that business is difficult to do, I will buy you cheaply, and you can give 50 taels of silver." The shopkeeper laughed.

"50 taels?" Zhao Jiangxi touched his hand into the placket, but only took out a few taels of silver, and then remembered that he had given away almost all the silver he was carrying just now, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and asked the little bolt gently:

"Did you bring some silver taels?"

The little plug put his hand into the placket of his clothes, and only took out a few taels of silver.

Seeing this, the boss pointed to another pair of emerald green bracelets and said, "Then look at this jade bracelet, as long as you have 8 taels of silver, okay?" ”

Zhao Jiangxi shook his head and said, "It's not good." Then he pointed to the pair of Hetian jade bracelets and said, "I want to decide this one." ”

"This?" The boss scratched his head and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him a few more times and thought: "This person looks clear and dignified, doesn't he look like a scoundrel?" ”

One of the strong men who looked like a bodyguard next to him took a few steps forward.

Yes, I don't have enough money on hand, so how can I do that?

Zhao Jiangxi was also anxious in his heart, and suddenly moved in his heart when he looked out of the door: "Yes, there is!" Then he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, keep the bracelet with me, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”

With that, he reached out and pulled a small bolt and walked out of the store together.

Zhao Jiangxi came out of the store, untied the reins and turned over the horse and walked north along the street, the little bolt didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhao Jiangxi's gourd, so he quickly followed the horse behind him, and after a while came to a place, the little bolt was startled at a look, and the place where he went was Fengyuan County County.

saw Zhao Jiangxi get off the horse and went straight to the yamen.

The officials standing on both sides immediately blocked Zhao Jiangxi's way and shouted, "Hey! Hold it! What for? ”

Zhao Jiangxi said: "Looking for your county order?" ”

"Looking for the county order, who are you?" One of the officials shouted angrily.

"Please come out of the county order, and you will naturally recognize you when you meet." Zhao Jiangxi Road.

"Please come out of the county order, I think you should come in." The other servant said, and took out the chains.

The little bolt saw it on the side, and remembered that Zhao Jiangxi knew the magistrate of Fengyuan County, so he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Wait!" Wait! Ladies and gentlemen, this son is a friend of the magistrate, please go in and report it, how about it? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, lock me up." A servant gave an order, locked Zhao Jiangxi, and escorted him away.

"Hey! Don't lock it! Official! Don't lock it! The little bolt yelled loudly behind him, following closely behind.

However, it was said that the two officials brought Zhao Jiangxi to the front of the hall, bowed down and reported to a person sitting upright in the hall: "Long with the lord, long with the lord, someone is making trouble in front of the ya, and now he has been escorted." ”

Zhao Jiangxi looked at the person in the hall, but saw that the person was not Zhixian Lu Fangshan, but Wei Xing.

"No wonder the official called the chief follower? It seems that this Luzhi County has not gone to court today. Zhao Jiangxi said angrily.

That Wei Xing glanced at the person who was escorted to the lobby, it didn't matter, he was so panicked that he almost fell off the back of the chair, hurriedly came to Zhao Jiangxi, and untied the chains with his own hands, but it was not good to attack, so he waved his hand and signaled the two officials to retreat quickly.

The two officials, you look at me, I look at you, I was stunned for a moment and didn't know what had happened.

When Wei Xing saw that the two officials were still stunned, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "Hurry up!" Get out of here! ”

Only then did the two officials react and ran away.

"Stand down, too! Get out of here! Wei Xing shouted to the others standing in the hall.

For a while, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they all withdrew from the church.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the lobby, Wei Xing knelt down and wanted to make a big salute, and exclaimed: "My emperor ......" As soon as the words reached his mouth, Zhao Jiangxi covered his mouth and said: "Oh, big nephew, you don't have to make this big gift." ”

Then Wei Xing suddenly came to his senses, there was a strange young man next to him, and he didn't know who it was. Alas! also blamed himself for acting recklessly and almost revealing the identity of the saint.

I had no choice but to get off the donkey down the slope and respond: "Uncle Xi, you came all the way here, is there something wrong?" ”

"Do you have silver taels?" Zhao Jiangxi asked bluntly.

"Silver taels? How much do you want? Wei Xing asked.

"Fifty taels." Zhao Jiangxi Road.

"Fifty taels, so much silver? What do you want so much money all at once? Wei Xing asked with some confusion.

"Don't talk nonsense, yes or no." Zhao Jiangxi asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, I don't usually bring so much silver." Wei Xing said with a smile.

"But don't worry, old man, I'll go get it for you right away." Wei Xing continued, and then shouted: "Someone! ”

"In!" Hearing this, the two officials walked into the lobby and responded.

"You two quickly go to the treasury to get 50 taels of silver. Go fast and go back quickly. Wei Xing commanded.

"Yes!" The two officials turned and left.

After a short time, the two officials came back with silver, and Wei Xing waved them back again, and then handed the package wrapped in silver taels to Zhao Jiangxi respectfully.

Zhao Jiangxi took the silver and weighed it, then said goodbye to Wei Xing and said, "Lord Xie Changsui." My lord, please tell the county order of Lu, and Zhao Xi should return the silver in the future. ”

"Uncle Xi, you use it, you use it, don't worry, don't worry, what your old man lacks in the future, just use it." Wei Xing nodded and said.

Zhao Jiangxi laughed: "Okay! Good! Then let's take my leave. After that, the two of them left the county office, turned over their horses, and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiangxi and Xiao Bolt's every move had already been watched by several rogues on the street.

One of the gangsters with a mustache asked a bald man, "Big brother, don't you do it yet?" ”
