Chapter 58: Brave and fearless, outwitting officers and soldiers

Steward Liu saw that Ji Xiulan was mixed with the gang of officers and soldiers, and one of them rode a black horse to spy on Ji Xiulan, and this person was the local official Yan Hao.

In order to find out the truth, Steward Liu did not startle the snakes but kept staring at these people.

It wasn't until the official Yan Hao said to Ji Xiulan in an impatient tone that there was no result in arresting the remnants of the former dynasty, the daughter of the criminal, which made Steward Liu himself very shocked.

"You said that you found someone who the court was going to arrest recently, but after arresting the whole village, there is no one with the same appearance as the portrait woman for a long time, is the kid messing with me!"

Ji Xiulan smiled with a servile smile, he leaned over and nodded repeatedly, Yan Hao was majestic but didn't care, Ji Xiulan could only continue to smile and answer

"Official, in fact, you want to find the criminal's daughter in my house, I heard that the court recently issued an order to arrest the woman, so I didn't report to you."

"Oh, why don't you hurry up and lead the way, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't want to be delayed because of something." Yan Hao watched coldly, and said immediately to Ji Xiulan.

Ji Xiulan opened his own mansion in a hurry, he turned sideways and signaled Yan Hao to go first, and then nodded to the officers and soldiers.

Such a disgusting style made Steward Liu, who was hiding in the shadows, see it clearly, and Steward Liu was still happy that Miss Ji was sent to her hometown for refuge yesterday, otherwise it would be difficult to say today.

Suddenly, there were a few loud slaps in the house, and Ji Xiulan's face was flushed, Yan Hao saw that there was no so-called remnant of the previous dynasty, but the room was empty, purely feeling that he had been deceived by Ji Xiulan.

"Well, you dare to lie to me."

"There is no official, I didn't lie to you, it turns out that the daughter of this criminal lives in my house."

Yan Hao didn't listen to his explanation, and left very angrily, Ji Xiulan blocked the door and wanted to be courteous.

"Official, we don't really want you to come for nothing, this is not the daughter of a criminal who was posted on the list all over the city a few days ago, I think the court attaches great importance to it, and our people should also actively cooperate."

"I just want results, I understand what you're saying."

"Ugh."

Yan Hao interrupted Ji Xiulan with a word, and Steward Liu, who was hiding in the fence in the front yard of Ji's house, gritted his teeth when he heard it, he clenched his fists, and he didn't understand why Ji Xiulan did this.

Ji Xiulan took these local officers and soldiers of the imperial court out of his courtyard, and when Steward Liu saw this, he hurriedly turned his back and used the earthen tile wall as a cover, but he inadvertently kicked a stone under his feet.

Ji Xiulan noticed that there was a strange noise around him, he paid attention to his surroundings, Steward Liu breathed calmly, did not dare to breathe, and his feet were helplessly stepping on the paving stones, and he made a sound when he moved slightly.

"Official, someone is eavesdropping on what we are talking about."

Seeing this, Yan Hao put his hands behind his back and asked.

"Who wants to eavesdrop on this kind of thing?"

"Official, what do you think it means for the daughter of a criminal to let the court arrest the whole city?" Ji Xiulan asked

Yan Hao had long heard that the imperial court wanted to arrest the daughter of a criminal, but he heard the gossip that the current emperor Wang Zidi wanted to kill the princess of the previous dynasty, so he said casually.

"It doesn't mean much, it's just that the previous dynasty fled, and the current king wants to kill her."

"But I don't know what big waves a woman from the previous dynasty can set off, why bother to kill, just Zhao'an can find a husband for her to live in the court."

Ji Xiulan waved his hand, voting that he thought he knew very well, and then said to Yan Hao.

"Official, say something that shouldn't be said, who doesn't know that the fire in the imperial palace was a long-planned mutiny, and the current king is borrowing troops to seize power for others is very vigilant, and he escaped from the princess of the previous dynasty halfway, so he is also restless."

"I've heard about it."

Steward Liu touched his beard, his pupils dilated, the reflex arc was slightly delayed, and his shoes were inadvertently exposed to the outside of the earthen tile wall when he was listening to the news.

The burning of the imperial city, the news heard is no less than the fact that the princess of the previous dynasty was hunted down, at the beginning of the night, a fire in the imperial palace made this large luxury palace built hundreds of years almost burned, fortunately, the people of the whole city are holding buckets to put out the fire to let the palace remain, and he is one of them.

Ji Xiulan saw a single pair of black shoes on Yan Hao's side, he didn't make a noise and gestured to Yan Hao with his eyes, Yan Hao turned around and found that there was a single black shoe hidden behind the earthen tile wall.

"Ahem, the affairs of the imperial city are confidential to the current dynasty, and we are discussing the affairs of the country as court officials, how can we allow a village and wild horsemen to come here to eavesdrop?"

Yan Hao then pointed to the earthen tile wall for his own soldiers to outflank from Ji's flank, and Ji Xiulan shouted to Steward Liu, who was hiding behind the wall.

"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, not to mention that this is something that the current emperor does not want to mention, and he doesn't want to be known by anyone, even if any of you know, he shouldn't eavesdrop here, that's disrespectful to the current king."

"The guy hiding behind, I advise you to come out honestly and admit your mistakes, the current king is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and there is no need to talk about these things that you don't want to do."

Steward Liu saw that there was a wide and secluded path around him except for a low earthen wall, and he was anxious to escape, and when he turned around, he saw that the group of court officers and soldiers had already surrounded him in his direction.

"Is it really going to be discovered?" Steward Liu looked at his current situation and couldn't help but ask.

Steward Liu frowned, his heart was beating faster, and he was stunned in place in the face of the officers and soldiers, not knowing what to do.

He immediately made a quick turn, slipped and stepped on the stone, almost twisting his ankle, but he was discovered by the officers and soldiers, who shouted behind him for Steward Liu to stop.

"Well, it's really someone, don't let him run, stop."

Several officers and soldiers chased after Steward Liu in front, Steward Liu spread his legs and ran quickly, and the pursuers in the back were also struggling to catch up.

"Run, where is the old guy running?"

Steward Liu turned around two small tiled houses at the entrance of the village, flicked his sleeves to speed up his steps, turned his body and came to a small tree, and the officers and soldiers behind him were in hot pursuit.

"Stop, you Diao Min, Lao Tzu told you to stop."

Steward Liu ignored it, and looked at the road in front of him that there was a wooden shelf, and he overturned the wooden frame with his backhand and blocked the way of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers jumped over to chase after them, and Steward Liu grabbed the bacon dried by a certain family and threw it to the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers caught it and threw it on the ground.

The officers and soldiers were so angry that they quickened their pace, and Steward Liu looked at a red brick and stone wall in front of him, and when he saw that the people behind him were chasing closely, he used his bare hands to support the strength of his whole body, and he climbed over the half-section of the red brick and stone wall.

"Whew, it's dangerous."

"If you're running, I'm going to draw my sword, stop." The officers and soldiers held the hilts of their swords and shouted.

Steward Liu turned around and looked at each other, the officers and soldiers were also climbing over the wall with their bare hands, knowing that they had eavesdropped on the scandal of the current king, but in the face of his (Zidi) (malicious burning of the palace) behavior would sooner or later be criticized by the world.

"Hmph, am I going to be arrested by you with my hands tied, so how can the scandal of today's rulers block the mouth of the world."

Steward Liu looked at the intertwining houses around him, and he saw a street around the corner, and turned to enter.

The officers and soldiers climbed over the wall to arrest Steward Liu, who saw a grain truck in the lane, and he was about to get stuck in the walls on both sides of the grain truck, and he himself escaped from the path.

By the time the officers and soldiers chased after him, they had already let Steward Liu escape, and the officers and soldiers were also panting and scolding when they saw this.

"Whew, I didn't expect this old thing to seem to have bad legs and feet, and I don't want to run faster than a rabbit."
