After a night's rest, the group set off again.

Seeing that there was still one street to go to the city gate, he was stopped by a few servants who were herding sheep.

"Wait a minute!"

The servants stopped, and when they saw that it was a few sheep herders, they couldn't help frowning, and asked angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

When the sheep herders saw that they had a bad attitude, they were immediately annoyed and said arrogantly, "Do you know whose sheep we are herding?" This is Huang Yuanwai's sheep, his daughter is now a concubine for the emperor in the palace, and even the county magistrate has to give him a few thin noodles, you dare to offend? ”

As soon as a few errand officers heard that it was the concubine's father, although his position was not high, he was also a relative of the emperor, so it was not easy to offend.

So he lowered his posture and said humbly: "I wonder what you told us to stop?" ”

When the shepherds saw that they had finally fallen to the ground and made them small, they felt a sense of accomplishment and said proudly, "How can these prisoners compete with our master's sheep?" Wait a minute, let's take the sheep out first, and then you go. ”

When the officers and prisoners looked back, they saw that the flock of sheep they had herded was almost the size of a street.

These sheep are all fat and large, and they still walk very slowly, and when they have driven all the sheep outside, I am afraid that the morning time will pass.

The officer's face suddenly fell: "No, we have to arrive at the next county seat at the specified time, if this is delayed, we won't be able to arrive, but we will be punished!" ”

The sheep herders pouted: "It's none of our business, if you don't let our sheep go first, we will go and tell our master, when the time comes, he will call the county commander, you won't be able to leave today!" ”

When Boss Zhang heard the words of these sheep herders, he immediately laughed angrily: "You little shepherds, dare to be so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you!" ”

The sheep herder has no fear: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog, our small county, although the county commander is in charge, the reliable is still my lord, if you don't believe it, you can try!" ”

Another sheep herder also laughed: "For the sake of these lowly prisoners who offend our master, you can decide for yourself, how to choose!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, the deputy leader hurriedly said in Boss Zhang's ear: "Boss, otherwise let's let them go first, that Concubine Huang is being favored in the palace, if she really offends her father, I'm afraid we really won't be able to eat and go around!" ”

Boss Zhang didn't believe in this evil, and said with a cold face: "I don't believe that except for a mere yellow member, what can you do with us officials!" ”

As he spoke, he had to take the prisoners out of the city gate first.

Seeing this, the shepherds hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and inform Huang Yuanwai!" ”

Soon, just as the officers were about to arrive at the city gate with the prisoners, a group of local officials suddenly ran up to them and stopped them.

He was followed by the panting county magistrate, and Huang Yuanwai, who was sitting in the carriage.

Huang Yuanwai saw that his fat sheep was walking behind a group of prisoners, and suddenly spat angrily, and said to the county commander: "Li County Order, how can these lowly prisoners stand in the way of my flock?" Isn't this looking for bad luck for me? ”

The county magistrate immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry about Huang Yuanwai, I'll negotiate with them." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the servants who were escorting the prisoners, and said with a cold face: "You officers from the imperial city, I'm afraid you don't know the rules of our county.

This will let the prisoner walk in front, and it will make the people behind follow him, and it is very unlucky, please be polite, let Master Huang's sheep go first Otherwise, I will have to leave you here, rest for another night, and leave tomorrow. ”

This red fruit threat made the angry mouths of the servants who escorted the exiled rice crooked.

But they were only officials, and when they encountered these powerful people, they couldn't do it, so they could only turn sideways and watch the shepherds drive the sheep past in front of them.

The shepherds looked pale one by one: "Toast and don't eat and drink, you have to offend our master for these lowly prisoners, so that you have no good fruit to eat!"

At this time, Huang Yuanwai stepped down from the carriage and walked to the families of the exiled prisoners and watched back and forth.

While brushing the goatee on his chin, he stared lewdly at the female prisoner.

Finally, he came to the prisoner of the Su family, and after looking back and forth a few times, his eyes stopped on the face of Yingbao's second aunt Liu Jiaojiao, and his face was coveted: "This female prisoner is good-looking, you are not in a hurry to leave anyway, leave her to me to be refreshed, I will give you two sheep on the road, you can milk and drink when you are thirsty, and you can kill it and eat meat when you are hungry." ”

Boss Zhang suddenly frowned, and was about to refuse.

The deputy leader hurriedly stopped him: "Boss, this Huang Yuanwai is afraid that he is the head snake in this county, even the county magistrate is respectful to him, we are soft-spoken, if we offend him again now, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave today!" ”

"That's not going to work either!" Boss Zhang frowned: "What if I play people to death?" It's still so long on the road to exile, maybe a number of people will die, and if we exceed the proportion, we will all be condemned! ”

"Since there is a proportion, it is okay to die a few, if we don't leave this female prisoner outside of Huang Yuan, I'm afraid that not only these prisoners will be buried with us when the time comes!"

The deputy leader said, and encouraged several other officers to support his opinion.

Boss Zhang saw that many people supported him, and his heart couldn't help but waver.

On the other hand, Liu Jiaojiao realized that she was chosen by Huang Yuanwai, she was disgusted and scared, she leaned on Su Erlang's arms, and said in horror: "You stay away from me, I am a married woman, you dare to beat me, I would rather die!" ”

When the old man Huang saw it, he heard Liu Jiaojiao's voice, which was soft and good, and he was not angry, and said kindly:

"Beauty, instead of following your husband to exile to a bitter cold land, it is better to be my concubine, don't suffer from that, I promise that you can still eat and drink spicy food, wear gold and silver, and continue to live the previous rich life."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Liu Jiaojiao.

Unexpectedly, his wrist was grabbed by Su Erlang and pushed it back.

That old man Huang was suddenly in pain, and shouted: "Damn prisoner! Let me go, if I break my hand, none of you will want to leave today! ”

Master Huang's servants and the local officials brought by the county magistrate hurriedly surrounded him.

They all pulled out their swords at Su Erlang: "Hurry up and let go of Master Huang!" Or we'll cut off your hands! ”

Su Erlang didn't let go angrily: "Whoever dares to touch my wife, I will die with him!" ”

The rest of the Su family also looked at those officers and soldiers with the same hatred, and said angrily: "Even if our Su family dies, we must die innocently, and no one can be defiled in the slightest!" ”

"Ahh

Just when the saber was rattling, a tender voice suddenly sounded.

I saw Ying Bao stretching out her chubby fingers and shouting innocently: "The sheep is gone!" ”

The crowd followed her fingers and turned their heads to look back.

Only then did I find that the flock of sheep that had almost filled the entire street had now disappeared without a trace, and there was not even a single wool left!
