Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Assassins
Just past the hill, the crowd quickly spotted a group of people who were much cleaner dressed than the refugees they had met before.
When everyone was on guard, an old man stood out in the crowd, an old man with a considerable reputation in Lixian County.
The old man walked tremblingly with a cane.
"Is the person who came from Moxian County?"
Mo Xuan's heart moved, and he took a step forward and said, "Hello uncle, I am the new county master." ”
After he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"This person is the county master? So young? It can't be a lie. ”
"That is, the imperial court is becoming more and more perfunctory to us, and if we are young, can we still control the flood? Heh......"
"No wonder there are rumors of greed for ink and silver, I heard that it is popular to buy officials in the capital, as long as you give money, you can change the county lord to be a magistrate."
"Really? When I have money, I will definitely buy an official and a ten-room and eight-room concubine. ”
"Haha, with your body and bones, don't die on a woman."
"Fuck off, don't curse me."
This group of people really dared to say anything, and even the court ridiculed them.
The old man looked at Mo Xuan with contempt in his eyes, looking up and down at Mo Xuan, handsome and chic, but he was too young to convince the public.
He calmed down and said, "Master Mo, I heard that the imperial court gave the silver taels for disaster relief, I heard that the silver taels were on a first-come, first-served basis, but I don't know where the silver taels are?" Don't let you get away with it. ”
"If you can't get it, you must give us an explanation today."
His voice was raised violently, and the crowd echoed.
Mo Xuan's face was calm, and he muttered in his heart, this is his dismount, if he doesn't handle it well, it will be difficult for this person's heart to gather.
Mo Xuan looked at the crowd in front of him, and there was expectation, disdain, and greed in everyone's eyes.
He raised his voice and said, "Everyone, everyone is too worried, the disaster relief silver of the imperial court is naturally sent by the commissioner of the imperial court, and it is impossible for me to carry it with me." ”
"You really look down on the subordinates, the official positions under the subordinates are too low, and they are not qualified to personally escort the imperial court to provide disaster relief silver."
"If I am greedy for ink, it is even more impossible, everyone should have seen the government's disaster relief silver, which is all with the official seal of the imperial court."
"And what we have on us are all belongings earned in the dowry house of the next lady."
The crowd shouted, "You are talking nonsense, the disaster relief money must be on you." ”
"Yes, let's search, we will definitely find it."
Several people in the crowd who took the lead in shouting said with bad intentions, their eyes flashing with thief light.
With so many carriages, there must be a lot of belongings.
Seeing that the crowd was chaotic again, Mo Xuan quietly used his internal force, and his voice was loud, as if ringing in everyone's ears.
"There is really no greedy ink disaster relief silver tael, the lady is pregnant, so there are many things to prepare, zero one ......"
"The subordinates are here."
"Open the hood of the carriage and let everyone have a look."
There was a roar of more than a dozen carts opened, there were seeds, there were cotton cloth, there were clothes, there were grains and dried vegetables and bacon, and most of all, there were three wagons of potatoes.
The crowd looked straight and swallowed one by one, although they were not as sad as the victims, they still rarely ate meat.
The person with the thief's eyebrows wanted to take the opportunity to touch the fish, but he was stared at by Zero One and the others, and the sword in his hand was shining cold, and he hesitated for a while.
These are carriages for goods, carriages for private use, it is impossible for them to look at them casually, and there are people in the carriages, how many places can be used to load things?
Silver tickets are rarely used for disaster relief, and they are all real money, and only this little bit can be called disaster relief.
Mo Xuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "As the county lord here, I must think about everyone's future, although the funds did not come this time, but I brought seeds that are easy to survive." ”
The old man sneered, "If we can't solve the problem of scarce land and water storage, everything will be empty talk." ”
Mo Xuan nodded approvingly, "I have some ideas, but I need to practice them concretely, so I always have to try, don't you?" ”
The mood of the crowd calmed down, and some people began to think seriously about Mo Xuan's words, and the old man took the lead in asking a few questions, and Mo Xuan answered them one by one.
Seeing that the matter was about to end, several people suddenly rushed out from the back of the crowd.
"Help, I'm so hungry, so much food, haha!"
The first two pretended to be crazy and squeezed through the crowd, and the people around them were pushed straight to the ground.
"Grab it, the food will be gone in a while."
"Hurry up and grab it, I haven't eaten enough for a long time."
The people who were originally watching reacted instantly, afraid that the food would be snatched up, and rushed forward together.
Where has the old man seen this battle, he said before, he will negotiate, who are these people later?
The sudden change made the crowd chaotic again, it was all ordinary people, and they didn't dare to use their swords.
You can only protect the convoy and don't hurt anyone.
Yun Sheng sat in the carriage, anxious, afraid that something would happen to Mo Xuan.
She watched sharply as a person suddenly rushed to Mo Xuan's side and took out a dagger from his arms.
"Husband, be careful!"
Hearing Yun Shang's shout, Mo Xuan took a few steps back, and the dagger slashed against his clothes.
Mo Xuan's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at the assassin with a scrutinizing gaze.
With a fierce look in his eyes, the assassin stabbed again.
Mo Xuan snorted coldly, these people really looked up to themselves, and they started to assassinate before they entered the city?
To say that it doesn't sound good, it's scary.
The old man saw the dagger with sharp eyes, and instantly reacted that they were being used as a gun.
The old man shouted, "Hurry up and stop, someone wants to assassinate the county master." ”
The sound was not loud, the crowd was confused, only a part of the surrounding people heard it, and these people paused.
At this time, the assassin in the middle was immediately exposed to the crowd, and the fierce attack caused the woman to scream.
Mo Xuan was afraid of hurting the crowd, so he drew out his sword, and the scabbard did not retreat, and he directly used it as a stick to block the attack of the comers.
The blade and scabbard collided together, and a strong force came, and the assassin's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to hesitate, and kicked Mo Xuan's abdomen.
Mo Xuan's body twisted strangely, and most of the strength in his hand was removed.
Suddenly retracted, the Assassin's body lost balance.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mo Xuan grabbed the assassin's wrist and kicked the assassin in the chest.
The assassin looked at him in shock, let out a cry of pain, and flew upside down.
Unable to make a move, the assassin accomplices hiding in the crowd were no longer hiding, and they besieged them one after another.
Mo Xuan didn't dare to relax at all, and his clothes fluttered among the assassins.
The crowd finally reacted and ducked back.
Only Mo Xuan and a group of assassins were left in the middle.
Seeing that the assassin was defeated and was about to withdraw, Mo Xuan was willing at this time.
"Where to go?"
Grabbing a man by the collar, he threw the man behind him, the tip of his sword pointed at his throat, and the assassin could not move.
One was floated, and one shouted "Withdraw!" ”
At this moment, Zero One rushed to the front with people, and instantly lost the opportunity to escape.
Seeing this, the assassin at the head moved his throat, and the whole person fell to the ground, and he died of exhaustion.
Immediately after that, all the assassins died in front of their eyes.
Mo Xuan withdrew his sword and silently glanced at the corpse on the ground.
Zero One sniffed, "My lord, these people are dead. ”
Mo Xuan nodded. (End of chapter)
