Outside the Lingtai City, the flow of people is bustling, a young man and a woman lead a horse slowly, the man has a thing on his shoulder, it seems to be a bone, but it is covered with a red cloth, sometimes beating, it is very strange, it has attracted the attention of many people.

Xu Hao and Lu Xiaoqin rode all the way to the outside of Lingtai County, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

The front is full of people, very crowded, far more than the flow of people in Chengji.

"How can there be so many people outside the city?"

From a distance, these people are all ragged, their faces are unclean, there is no doubt that they are poor people, and they are more or less carrying packages, and there is an old man with a child next to Xu Hao.

The girl's face was dirty, she grabbed the old man's hand, raised her head timidly and said, "Grandpa, can we go in?" ”

Xu Hao was also queuing, stepped forward, and asked, "Uncle, why is the city gate so strictly censored, and some people have turned back?" ”

Xu Hao and the two are extraordinary, Gu Qi looks left and right, and the red cloak bag is tight, not scary.

When the old man heard this, he immediately showed a bitter face, and said: "Little brother doesn't know, a large number of people in Wenxian County have suffered from war recently, and they have fled here, and the Lingtai government still allowed the people to enter at first, but then there were too many people, so they were not allowed to enter." ”

"The old man is also from Wenxian County?"

"I am."

Xu Hao was puzzled: "Since the Lingtai Government Mansion doesn't let people in, why are there so many people queuing up here?" ”

"The government said that it was not allowed to let people in and out, but in fact, it just wanted to circle a sum of money, and those who had a relationship could also enter, and those who were folded back were not given the price."

The old man said slowly, quite distressed.

Xu Hao saw that the old and the young did not look like rich people, and said kindly: "Uncle, as far as I know, Wenxian County has settled down now, you can take your granddaughter back." ”

The old man sighed and said: "Huiwen County is far away, and I have been sleeping in the open for several days, and my granddaughter has a cold, so she has to go to the city to heal and rest."

Xu Hao saw that it was not easy for the old man, so he immediately took the little girl's hand and said with a smile: "How old is the little girl?" At the same time, a Heavenly Pivot aura crossed over.

The little girl blinked her eyes and said timidly: "Nine-year-old ......"

Xu Hao touched the girl's head, reassured not to be afraid, and then looked at many people who turned back, all of them were dejected, but he couldn't help it.

After a quarter of an hour, it was finally their turn.

The guards at the door are two strong men, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, symbolically wearing armor and a sword at their waists, which is quite majestic. Xu Hao could sense that the two were not monks, and one of them spoke: "Show me your household registration." ”

The old man was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't stand the coercion, so he hurriedly took out the household registration in the package tremblingly, and when he handed it to the strong man and soldiers, he didn't forget to stuff a few pieces of broken silver into the household registration documents.

The strong man glanced at it casually, and put the broken silver in his pocket without moving, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and most of the money was accepted.

But who knew that the other party threw the household registration documents to him, and said coldly: "There are too many people entering the city in Wenxian County today, let's come back another day." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party was afraid of the lack of money, so he immediately took out a document and two pieces of broken silver, and begged: "Official, my son was a soldier and died on the front line, this is a proof document, you can take a look." ”

The little girl looked nervous and watched her grandfather grovel and hold the old man's hand tightly.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu."

The old man squeezed out a smile and touched the girl's dirty hair.

Seeing this, Xu Hao was a little sad, the Fengchu soldiers had many benefits after they died, and the priority to enter the city was also among them, which was a law promulgated by Emperor Hongjing after he ascended the throne, which was intended to encourage the people to join the army.

Only when the national army is strong can national defense be stable and the country be stable.

With the supporting documents, the old man and the two should be able to enter the city, Xu Hao relieved himself.

Seeing this, the strong man turned his gaze to the other person, nodded, and said, "The paperwork is real."

The two of them guarded the city gate, just serving the county government, and all the money and property collected were taken away, and not a single copper coin fell on them.

The two glanced at each other, and the strong man from before stepped forward to hand the paperwork to the old man, and quietly stuffed the previous broken silver to the old man, and then said solemnly: "If there are victims in the family, you can enter the city first, go in."

He was ashamed of his rudeness, those who sacrificed their lives for the country will always be admired, they are just government soldiers, there is basically no battle on weekdays, and those front-line soldiers are the ones who really carry the burden forward.

The old man was grateful, there are still good people in the world, and he was just about to take his granddaughter in, when a leather whip suddenly came, not to the old man, but to the city gate guards.

Guqi jumped onto the other shoulder, looking curiously.

"Smack......

The guard was heavily knocked down, the armor on his chest was shattered, and he smashed to the ground with a "clang", Xu Hao's heart was shocked, and a blood mark appeared on the guard's chest, the skin was open, and the teeth were grinning in pain.

"Who told you to let people in? No one is allowed to enter! ”

The person who came was a young man with sharp eyes, staring coldly at the guard, like a falcon, and then looked at the other guard, and said, "You connived at the mistakes of your fellow brass and slapped your own mouth." ”

Another guard hurriedly whipped himself, and blood immediately flowed from his mouth.

Xu Hao frowned, and the people queuing up behind him were too frightened to speak.

The old man turned around slowly, his mind swayed, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

The young man's long whip passed by him, and the gusts of wind blew, and the old man was stunned for a while, feeling unsteady on his feet, and the little girl's eyes were wide open, holding tears, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.

Guqi: "It's too much of a deception."

Xu Hao hurriedly flew away with a gas machine to save the old man and the girl.

The person who came was a cultivator, in the early stage of the fantasy, Xu Hao's expression was cold, there was nothing wrong with the strong man guarding the door, and he was just an ordinary person, this person was enough to take half a life for the strong man with one whip.

And the old man and the child's soul is fragile, and it is easy to leave sequelae when frightened, Xu Hao pulled the two souls back in time, and then looked at the whip-wielding man.

The man also found out that Xu Hao was not an ordinary person, and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Xu Hao didn't say much, he didn't want to fight with the other party, he was very angry now, his body moved, he instantly reached the other party's body, and then punched out.

The man hurriedly stopped, his body retreated again and again, and in an instant, the dust was flying, and he said with a shocked face: "I am Meng Yong, the head catcher of the Lingtai, Your Excellency will think clearly before you do it!" ”

Meng Yong felt the power of Xu Hao's punch, and immediately understood the power of the person in front of him, and secretly said in his heart: "This person's strength is not below me, and he can't be provoked." ”

Xu Haocai didn't care who he was, he smashed it with another punch, "Fengchu's law stipulates that the martyrs' families have the right to enter the city first, why should you stop it?" ”

"Bang ......"

Meng Yong urged the body method and hurriedly resisted Xu Hao, and in an instant, dozens of moves passed, and he found that the other party had comprehended the fist intent, which he had never had.

Xu Hao's fist was like a mountain, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, he rose into the air, kicked and killed at his feet, Meng Yong couldn't dodge, and flew out in an instant, spitting out a mouthful of blood with "wow".

Guqi: "The wicked still need the wicked to grind."

"If you dare to attack the government to catch your head, you will definitely suffer today." Meng Yong was ashamed and angry, he originally blamed the two guards for collecting too little money and teaching a lesson, but he never thought that there would be a master like Xu Hao in the crowd.

As for the martyr's documents, he never read them, and he could only enter the city when he had enough silver!

Xu Hao snorted coldly and said: "I never thought that the Lingtai official mansion is so rotten, it is just a matter of doing nothing in the world, and you are also cruel to the people, what is the difference between you and the filth of the dung pit!" ”

"Uncle, let's go into the city."

Xu Hao picked up the old man and crossed a breath of aura, and the latter suddenly felt that his feet sank a lot.

The old man's face hesitated, Xu Hao offended the government, he listened to it sincerely, that person was the head catcher of Lingtai, this time he suffered a loss, he will definitely come to retaliate, even if he enters the city, I am afraid that there will be disaster.

"Don't worry, I can settle it."

Xu Hao smiled slightly, giving people a reliable feeling, Fengchu Law is this, the family of the martyr has the right to enter the city first, and the Lingtai government will just collect the money, if the family of the martyr is harmed for no reason, the crime should be punished.

It is impossible for the imperial court to chill the hearts of the world, how do the Fengchu soldiers feel when they know about this?

As a member of the Zhenling Division, he is not afraid of the Lingtai Mansion, if he comes to trouble him, he will follow.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say much, the light rain and wind chill have been for several days, and if he doesn't treat it, I'm afraid it will be serious, and then it won't be a simple wind chill.

It's just that he didn't know that Xu Hao had crossed the aura of the evergreen Tianshu for the girl, the wind and cold and ordinary diseases had dissipated, Xiaoyu was now naturally recovering, looking at Xu Hao timidly with big eyes, he knew that the brother in front of him was a good person.

Xu Hao took the old man to the city, Gu Qi stood on his shoulders, looking radiant and excited, Lu Xiaoqin took the girl's hand and followed behind.

Meng Yong watched a few people leave, his face sank, Xu Hao's strength was very powerful, he was not an opponent at all, "It is impossible for such a young man to be nameless, it is not appropriate to take revenge rashly, wait for me to send someone to investigate." ”

He has always been eager to take revenge, Xu Hao let him eat today, as long as he has enough ability to take revenge, he will definitely not let the other party go.

"Tell Zhu County Order first."

Meng Yong stood up with a flickering expression, threw the guard an inferior healing pill, and said coldly: "Continue to guard, don't let people in at will."

After that, he walked into the city and walked briskly in the direction of the county office.

Xu Hao took a few people to find an inn, settled the old man and the child, paid together, and then opened two more rooms and stayed with Lu Xiaoqin.

Xu Hao and Lu Xiaoqin, the second children of the inn, have extraordinary temperament, the service is very thoughtful, and they are both tea and pastries.

Xiaoyu and they were also treated the same, and the little girl carefully picked up the pastry, took a bite lightly, and said timidly, "Thank you, brother."

Xu Hao touched his head and said with a smile: "Eat quickly."

The old man was grateful to Xu Hao, and he was not hypocritical, but was in a hurry to go out to ask for a doctor.

Xu Hao did not stop it, Evergreen Tianshu can enhance the function of the human body, but the disease of wind and cold, it is good to let the doctor take a look, so that the old man can be more assured.

……

County office, Meng Yong strode into the office of the Zhu County Order, and a fat man sat in front of the table, flipping through the case, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, anyway, there was no happy look.

Seeing this, Meng Yong quietly stood outside the door, waiting respectfully, he knew that this county magistrate was powerful, and he didn't dare to take any offense.

Zhu Xianling didn't seem to see Meng Yong, he didn't raise his head, he was engrossed in flipping through the file, and after a stick of incense, he raised his head casually and said suddenly: "When will Meng Zhutou come, please sit down."

Then he slapped himself on the head and said apologetically: "Zhu has fallen into a daze, and the hospitality is not good, Meng Zhutou forgive me."

Meng Yong said with a smile: "Zhu County's order is serious, I have just come here, and I didn't bother when I saw that the adults were obsessed with official business."

Zhu Xianling invited Meng Yong to sit down, pushed over a cup of warm tea, and said with a smile: "Meng Yu will be in the future for a long time, and there must be something important to come this time."

"Your Excellency's eyes are like torches, and your subordinates have come to do something important." Meng Yong took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and said, "There is a person from outside the city, his strength is extraordinary, and I am not his opponent."

"Oh?"

Zhu Xianling put down the case in his hand and said with a slight surprise: "Who can make Meng Zhutou bow down, who is so brave?"

Meng Yong said: "My subordinates don't know, but according to my inquiry, that person entered the Qingshui Inn."

Zhu Xianling drank slightly and said, "You go to find out where that person opened the road first, and then make plans."

After that, he picked up the case again and read it carefully.

"Yes."

Meng Yong understood what he meant, got up and retreated.
