Before you know it, it's noon.

Murong Yunyao visited several more households, but the answers they got were all the same, that is, there was no such person as Jiang Shan in Qingping County, and the so-called Liu Laohan's family had moved away ten years ago.

She was confused for a moment, as if she had fallen into a cloud. In the past three months, she has experienced countless inexplicable strange things, whether it is the mysterious and unpredictable Four Strange Monsters who are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, or Jiang Shan and Liu Laohan who disappeared out of thin air, and even did not exist at all, all of them were enough to make her feel unprecedented incomprehension and fear.

"Little lady, what did you hear?" When Murong Yunyao was at a loss, Duan Siming's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she turned her head and said, "Look at your gloating appearance, you must have guessed the result of my inquiry, now you are happy!" ”

Duan Siming said unhappily: "What do you mean I'm happy?" You won't suspect that this king bought the men, women, and children of the entire Qingping County to deceive and cover up those things that don't exist at all, right? ”

"Huh?" Murong Yunyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly grabbed Duan Siming's collar and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself!" You accidentally told such an unspeakable secret, you must be a thief, right? Say, where did you tie up Uncle Jiang! ”

Duan Siming pointed at Murong Yunyao and said speechlessly, "You ...... You're unreasonable! Talking to you is like talking to that or something...... What a piano to play! Every time I say a word to you, this king is worried that his life will be reduced by ten years! ”

Murong Yunyao smiled and said, "How many words have you said to this girl, according to your logic just now, you should no longer be alive now, but why are you still alive like this?" Then she looked at Duan Siming and said in amazement: "By the way, your yang longevity should not be calculated by the limit of people." As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise, we have said so much, it seems that you are getting closer and closer to the limit of the king's eight, or strive to be a turtle with a shrunken head to live longer! ”

Duan Siming couldn't bear it and said, "Stinky girl, this king is really fed up with you!" If this king ...... you again" Before he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth, snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.

Murong Yunyao smiled: "Why did you say half a sentence?" What if you talk to me again? ”

Duan Siming endured it for a long time before saying, "You ...... You must think that this king is rich and rivals the country, so you want to make money and kill yourself! This king is so smart, how can he fall for you? ”

Murong Yunyao glanced at Duan Siming and said, "This girl still has something to do, so she doesn't have time to talk to you." She said as she walked briskly down the alley to the east.

Duan Siming hurriedly followed behind and asked, "Where are you going?" Wouldn't it be that he wanted to find someone to assassinate the king in this poor country, and then he could steal the king's precious golden dragon himself? I warn you, that is related to the national fortune of Dali, and this king will turn into a ghost to protect the golden dragon even if he dies! ”

Murong Yunyao strode forward while comparing three with his hand, "The surname is Duan, you have said three more words to this girl, and you will have to reduce your life expectancy by thirty years!" ”

"You!" Duan Siming said dissatisfiedly: "You are so hateful, you actually calculate this king, even if this king is really a thousand years old, he can't stand such a reduction!" By the way, what exactly do you want to do, quickly explain it to this king. ”

Before Duan Siming finished speaking, Murong Yunyao had already stopped, pointed to the majestic county government in front of him, and said, "This girl is going here, do you want to go together?" ”

Duan Siming looked up at the plaque high above, and read softly: "Qingping County Ya? ”

Then he said in a loud voice: "What are you taking me to the county government for what?" Do you still plan to sue me, the dignified prince of Dali, to the yamen of your Song Kingdom! ”

Murong Yunyao shook his head and said, "Who told you?" This girl wants to ask how the murder case was resolved, so as to find some clues from it and find out all the strange things that have happened in the past three months. ”

Duan Siming was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know the magistrate here?" ”

Murong Yunyao said: "Of course I don't know. ”

Duan Siming was puzzled and said, "Then why did he tell you the details?" ”

Murong Yunyao patted the sword behind his back, pointed at Duan Siming again, and said, "What's so difficult about this?" As long as I take you hostage to see him, I think he is a parent official, and I will not put people's lives at risk for the sake of a case. Am I right, Lord Duan? ”

"Help!" Duan Siming shouted, and his toes suddenly floated backwards, and he wanted to jump onto the roof behind him as soon as he jumped. But when his body was just in the air, he suddenly felt that the clothes behind him seemed to be grabbed, and then he pulled down hard, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.

Duan Siming fell to the ground, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Stinky girl! You have bad intentions, harbor evil intentions, have evil intentions, have bad intentions, have bad intentions, have evil intentions, have evil intentions, commit rebellion, and destroy the nine clans......"

Murong Yunyao bent down, looked at Duan Siming curiously, and said, "This girl used to only hear that people in Dali could speak Chinese, but I didn't expect that the prince of Dali would actually speak idioms better than me. You go on, I'm going to see how many more you can name! ”

Duan Siming got up from the ground and strode into the Qingping County Ya without hesitation. Murong Yunyao was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly said, "You just broke in like this?" Aren't you afraid that the county order will punish you? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Duan Siming said without replying: "It's best to sentence me to a decisive decision, so that I won't have to be tortured by you stinky girl again!" I miss my father, I'm going to reunite with him! ”

Murong Yunyao shrugged and said, "I didn't expect that this girl's martial arts had improved so much in three months, and she actually turned a good prince into a madman who regarded death as home?" This girl wants to see who will dare to mess with me in the future! She felt funny when she thought about Duan Siming's cowardice, and couldn't help but slow down.

Suddenly, Murong Yunyao heard Duan Siming's heart-rending screams from the county office, and she was about to rush in, when she heard him shouting, "Bold dog officer!" This king is the prince of the dignified Dali Kingdom, and you dare to spank me with such a heavy board! ”

Murong Yunyao smiled slightly, and said secretly, "Who told you to break in so unscrupulously, this is really your Dali Kingdom!" It's no wonder if I don't hit you! She thought that her steps were getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she had arrived at the county hall. She saw that Duan Siming in the hall had been stripped of his middle clothes by the officials, and was lying on a bench constantly being tortured with a cane, and his buttocks had been beaten to the point that his skin was open.

Duan Siming shouted: "Stinky girl, help!" Tell this dog official to stop, or this king will really be killed! ”

Murong Yunyao bowed slightly, looked at the county magistrate in the hall with a meaty face, and shouted: "Dog official, why don't you beat people without asking questions!" I command you to let him go! He's not a good thing, but it's not your turn to hit him! ”

"Oh, really?" The county order sneered, looked at Murong Yunyao contemptuously and said: "I don't know where this little lady is, she dares to shout in front of this county order, do you think you are the princess of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Murong Yunyao's eyes rolled slightly, and he said coldly: "This girl is the cousin of the Eight Kings Thousand Years Old, if you dare to disobey this girl's order, I will let you taste the power of the concave gold mace another day!" ”

The county commander was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, this kid claims to be the prince of Dali, and you claim to be the cousin of the eighth king, the small county is really shining today!" But pretending to be the emperor is a capital crime, this kid is a Dali person who doesn't understand the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, don't you understand, girl? ”

As he spoke, he took the arrow from the table in front of him, threw it heavily into the hall, and shouted: "Come on, strip this little woman who pretends to be the royal prince and beat her to death, so that she dares to run rampant in front of this county again!" ”

"Yes!" Seeing that the little lady in front of them was like a flower, the officials gathered around them with ill intentions. One of the officials closest to Murong Yunyao actually reached out directly to untie her coat. Murong Yunyao subconsciously flashed backwards, and then the sword was already unsheathed, and with a single sword, the person's right hand was cut off, and blood suddenly splattered out.

The official rolled on the ground with his arms crossed, and kept screaming from his mouth, and all the officials were stunned when they saw this, and no one dared to take another half step forward for a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, the county commander slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly take down this guy who resisted arrest and beat the poor to this county!" ”

Murong Yunyao held the sword in his chest and asked, "Dog officer! This girl is here to ask you a few things, why do you want to put me to death for no reason? Is human life worse than a mustard in your eyes? ”

Hearing this, the county magistrate snorted coldly: "This county has always enforced the law impartially and loves the people. But you people who pretend to be royal relatives and stir up the public court must be severely punished! With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Quick, take her down to the official!" ”

Murong Yunyao smiled coldly and said: "Dog official, if you have to kill innocents indiscriminately, then don't blame this girl for being ruthless, today I will take your head as a dog official and eliminate harm for the people!" As she spoke, a sword came out, and the killing intent on the sword was like a river rushing to the sea, magnificent and endless.

The officials relied on the strength of the crowd, and they all held water and fire sticks and rushed towards her. Seeing the momentum, Murong Yunyao swung the long sword in his hand, and instantly turned into a shock, attacking the people who rushed in. Duan Siming seemed to have forgotten the pain at the moment, and kept clapping his hands.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, a young man's voice suddenly came from in front of the yamen, "Everyone, stop!" Yongzhou Zhizhou Hou arrived! The officials seemed to be a little unfamiliar with the people who came, but Murong Yunyao and the county commander heard that the person who came was Lord Marquis of Yongzhou, so they all stopped according to their words.

Before the words fell, the two men in official uniforms had already walked slowly to the county hall. Among them, the person with a slightly higher status is nearly forty years old, shrewd and brave. The other is just past the age of the weak crown, and he is born with a polite and polite quality, and even if he is in official uniform, he can hardly hide his handsome and chic.

When Murong Yunyao saw this young man, he hurriedly ran over and said kindly, "Brother Pingzhong, why did you come here?" I remember that you were sent to Cheng'an by the emperor three years ago, why did you come to Yongzhou? ”

Without waiting for this young man to speak, Zhizhou Hou Renbao preemptively asked, "Brother Kou Xian, this girl is your friend?" How come I've never heard you mention it? ”

Qing Nian smiled and said, "Don't hide it from your lord, she is the daughter of Murong Hualong." Three years ago, when I entered the imperial examination in Beijing, I was disturbed in her house, and I was fortunate to have a few encounters with her, and then I heard that Lord Murong died in battle, and Weichen often had official business, so I haven't met for several years. ”

Hou Renbao nodded, "I see, I heard that Brother Kou Xian has a wide range of friends, but I didn't expect that he still has some friendship with Lord Murong's daughter, which is really beyond the expectations of Brother Fool!" He said and looked at the county order and said, "Tao Rong, this official just heard that you are going to take down Miss Murong, may I ask where she is guilty of which law?" ”

Tao Rong trembled and said, "Big ...... Adult Rongyu, Murong girl, she ...... She pretended to be the imperial prince and claimed to be the cousin of the eight kings and a thousand years old, and it was really difficult for the lower officials to distinguish, so she ordered to take it down and take it to Yongzhou, wanting to listen to your wise decision, but you came to the small county in person, it is really the supreme glory of our county! ”

Hou Renbao snorted coldly and said, "Tao Rong! You really don't listen to what's going on outside the window, and you only read the sycophants! ”

Tao Rong hurriedly knelt down in front of Hou Renbao and asked, "Lord Hou, the lower official has the courage to ask, could it be that this Murong girl really has something to do with the Eighth King Chitose?" ”

Hou Renbao nodded, "That's nature!" A few months ago, Bawang Chitose met his cousin Yun Zixiao and Murong Girl by chance on Bianhe Street, and at that time, this Murong girl had recognized Yun Zixiao as her brother, so Bawang Chitose also recognized this Murong girl as her cousin, do you understand? ”

Tao Rong scratched his head and said with a smile: "This ...... This subordinate still didn't understand, but since the people of Zhizhou said so, there must be no mistake! This Murong girl must be the cousin of the Eight Kings. He hurriedly walked in front of Murong Yunyao and slammed it to the ground, "Miss Murong, Fang is the lower official who has no eyes, and I hope that you have a lot of them, forgiveness is one, forgiveness is one!" ”

Murong Yunyao snorted coldly, pointed at Duan Siming and said, "Tao County Order, you have to look at the master to beat the dog, not to mention that it is still this girl's friend, you can do it yourself." ”

Tao Rong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly helped Duan Siming up and said: "Duan Gongzi, the lower official should be damned, you have a large number of adults, please spare the lower official!" ”

Duan Siming slowly stood up and grinned: "What is Duan Gongzi, I am the prince of Dali, the prince!" As an official of the Song Kingdom, you have seriously challenged the dignity of our Dali by injuring this king for no reason, if you don't want the two countries to go to war, you have only one way to go! ”

Tao Rong said in a panic: "Lord Duan, you can say it, as long as the lower officials can do everything." ”

Duan Siming nodded with a smile, and said with a little calculation: "You just let the official beat the ten boards of this king, and this king wants to return it to you ten times, not even one less board!" ”

"What!" Tao Rong said in a panic: "Ten times? That's a hundred boards, if a hundred boards go down, will the official still have a life? Horizontal and vertical are death, please be merciful and give the subordinate a good time! ”

Qing Nian also persuaded: "The law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulates that the punishment is not for the doctor, and it is indeed too heavy to punish Lord Tao with a hundred boards, it is better to break half into fifty boards, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”

Duan Siming thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a mace here?" The gold-topped jujube yang lance is also formed. If these two things are used instead of boards, the king can consider it, otherwise everything will not be discussed. ”

"This ......" was stunned, looked at Murong Yunyao and said, "Murong girl, Tao Rong's sin will not lead to death." Duan Wang Ye is your friend, you should quickly persuade his subordinates to be merciful, otherwise Master Tao will definitely die today! ”

Murong Yunyao said: "Brother Pingzhong, you care about Lord Tao's life or death, but Master Tao doesn't care about other people's lives or deaths!" Such a faint official, I don't know how many innocent people died in his hands, if Brother Pingzhong must save his life, let Lord Hou demote him to a commoner and never hire him, otherwise I can't persuade Duan Wangye! ”

Qingnian was very embarrassed when he heard this, but Hou Renbao said solemnly: "What Miss Murong said is very true, how can such a faint official keep the people safe!" The state will definitely cut it down to the people, and never hire it! If Duan Wang Ye and Miss Murong are still angry, they will punish him with fifty boards. He said and looked at the officials and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, take this dog official down to this state!" ”

Tao Rong usually often bullied him, and the officials had already had enough. Hearing this, he rushed up, pressed Tao Rong on the bench with all hands and feet, and hit his ass with the board heavily, each board beat his skin and flesh, and the ghost cried wolf. Duan Siming couldn't care about the pain anymore, bent over and stood by the bench, and laughed: "Hahaha, good fight!" Give the king a heavy beating, and the hardest working king will be rewarded! ”

Murong Yunyao pulled Duan Siming's sleeve and said, "The surname is Duan, don't forget your identity, you are still a prince!" Do you know what it means to get carried away? It seems that the idiom is not very well memorized! ”

Duan Siming nodded emphatically, "This king has taken revenge, of course he is happy, and it is understandable that he will get carried away for a while!" It's a pity that there is no good wine here, otherwise it would have been celebrated! ”

When Hou Renbao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Duan, you have come from afar, and you have been so wronged, Benzhou is very reluctant not to go, and intends to invite you to feast and drink in the county office, and the right to take the wind and wash the dust for you, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”

Duan Siming smiled when he heard this: "Okay, this king is willing!" ”
