Just ask the sword in your hand

Xun Fa stood in the lobby, flanked by strange officials. He has neither grace nor enmity towards them. Their faces were expressionless, as if he Xun Fa was really a criminal.

And in front of him, there was the tall Hou Bohou, who seemed to have a mocking smile on his face, looking at Xun Fa like this, Xun Fa sighed secretly in his heart, this was the first time he saw the face of this county guard.

Xun Fa turned around and looked, I don't know when the door was full of people, they took the initiative to separate a road, and looked at Xun Fa with doubts and disappointment in their eyes.

Xun Fa shook his head, he had only been in Fengming County for a short time, so naturally there would be no desperate support from the people. However, if someone is disappointed, that is enough.

There are expectations, and there are disappointments.

He looked at Hou Bohou, waiting for the witness.

With a rickety back, silver-white hair, and furrows on his face, he knew at a glance that he had suffered all the vicissitudes of life. He lowered his head and didn't look at Xun Fa.

Xun Fa looked at this figure and frowned.

He looked at the old man with the same gaze as the people looked at him, with doubts and disappointments.

The old man lowered his head, walked to the front of the hall, buried his head very low, and knelt down with a "poof".

"Who's in the hall?"

Hou Bohou looked at the old man and asked, he was confident, everything was already in his chest, and everything was under control.

"Villain Juan. The word "Juan" was said very lightly, as if the name was his own disgrace.

"Juan, what is your position?"

Juan didn't dare to look at Xun Fa, but after Xun Fa glanced at him, he stood beside him, without words or movements.

"I ...... I am a civilian. He stuttered a little, and his heart was a little empty.

He didn't ask Xun Fa to forgive him, he just hoped that his wife's strange illness could really be cured, and the lord and his wife could live peacefully in the future, even if the lord didn't understand it all his life, blamed him for a lifetime, he had no regrets. Thinking of this, he only dared to sneak a glance at the old man who was standing in the lobby with a straight waist.

"Since you are a civilian, how can you be a witness to Xun Fa's corruption and perversion of the law?" Hou Bohou asked knowingly, and asked with a smile.

When the people heard this, they immediately caused a commotion. Although it is said that the new county guard has only been here for a short time, even if the people have not seen what he has done, they have heard about it. It is rumored that the county warden plans to build a road and open a grain trading channel with other counties. If this is really done, it will be a great thing! However, before the thing is done, the people will not dare to support it easily. At the beginning, many county guards also proposed many policies, but they could not be implemented, and in the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the action was over.

The "little ......" waited until the commotion of the people was less, and Juan hesitated a little.

"Just say something!" Hou Bohou said loudly. "This official is here, what are you afraid of him doing!" Hou Bohou looked righteous and awe-inspiring, looked at Juan who was a little afraid, and straightened his waist, as if he wanted to be his backer.

Juan's eyes were more of fear and more of anxiety and guilt.

"Small...... It is the elder of Xun Fa Xun. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to say this.

Hou Bohou let out an "oh" and immediately said: "Since he is Xun Fa's old housekeeper, the relationship must be very close, how can he be willing to be a witness against him?"

Juan, the old man, who had followed Xun Fa for several years, suddenly lowered his head and said nothing, but it could be seen that his body trembled slightly.

Hou Bohou was wearing an official robe, stroked his beard, and said after a little thought: "I think it is what this person has done that has caused the anger of the heavens, and you can't stand it as his family elder." ”

Juan remained silent, kneeling on the ground, his head buried in the ground, his body trembling, and the faint sound of crying could be heard.

Xun Fa didn't speak, and looked at the old man. At this time, Xun Fa knew that the old man must have been threatened, and as soon as he cried like this, Xun Fa's heart softened a little.

Although Hou Bohou wanted to see the drama of the master and servant, but he was afraid of being persecuted too much, this old man had a dead end with him in front of everyone, thought a little, and his tone was a little softer.

"Presumably, what this person did was intolerable, so this old man would cry in front of the court!"

Hou Bohou said, the people didn't know what was going on, and they actually nodded in agreement, and at the same time had a bad impression of Xun Fa.

"Next, in order to show sympathy for you, you don't have to open your mouth to answer the question, just nod or shake your head. ”

Without waiting for Juan to answer, Hou Bohou asked, "Juan, you are the elder of the Xunfa family, and one of the people he trusts the most. ”

As soon as this question came up, Juan was slightly surprised, and nodded on the ground.

Hou Bohou nodded to the civil officials beside him, indicating that the inquiry and trial had begun, and it was necessary to quickly record it in the register so that it could be reported.

When the civil official saw this, he immediately put pen to paper and recorded it.

Hearing this, Juan nodded.

"Is everything you say true, and if so, are you willing to bear all the consequences?"

Juan was stunned and hesitated, but suddenly the bloodthirsty appearance of his wife appeared in front of him, and he also saw his grandson Xiaohao being hung up and whipped with a whip.

Eventually, he nodded.

Hou Bohou looked at the obedient old man, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc.

"Okay, let me ask you, is the furniture in Xunfa's house all precious mahogany, and is there a vault hidden in the backyard?"

Juan's cry grew louder and louder at this time, and I slammed twice on the ground to nod his head.

"Is Xun Fa corrupt and perverts the law?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone froze in their hearts, and it can be said that this is the most important question.

Juan still cried and kowtowed.

Seeing this situation, it immediately caused an uproar, and the people talked about it, constantly pointing to Xun Fa, and even cursed sounds.

Xun Fa didn't look at the old man at this time, but stared at Hou Bohou.

"Since you said I was taking bribes, I don't know who the bribes were?"

Looking at Xun Fa, who was righteous and awe-inspiring and fearless, Hou Bo was slightly startled, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly recovered. Everything had already been arranged, and in order to get to where he was today, he did something that the law did not allow at the risk of being killed.

He stabilized his mind and smiled coldly: "If I hadn't found out who had paid the bribe, how could I have come to take you from Dingbo Mansion?"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a stout and rugged man walked out, tied by a stout iron chain. He had a scar on his face, and in late autumn he was wearing only a gown, and his chest was exposed.

This person was pressed into the lobby, glanced at Xun Fa, and stood straight in the lobby.

"Don't kneel down yet!" Hou Bohou was shocked, but the man turned a deaf ear and still stood upright.

"Kneel!" Suddenly, a servant came up and threw a foot on the big man's knee, and the big man was forced to kneel on the ground.

"Who's in the hall?

Hou Bohou's voice came, and the surrounding people were immediately frightened. However, the big man was not afraid at all, snorted coldly, and said loudly with his head tilted: "Don't change your name when you go down, and don't change your surname!"

Hearing the words "Luo Sandao", the people suddenly took a few steps back and gasped.

Although no one has ever seen this Luo Sandao, his name is extremely loud in this Wuzhou.

Not because of anything else, but because this man is the third leader of the biggest group of pirates!

The pirates had a large ship and occupied a desert island that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there were no boats, they would come to the shore in their big ship "Tiansha", plunder the people of the shore, and then return to the ship, to the desert island whose location is unknown.

They are not only robbing property, but even more so robbing women and children.

Although the combat effectiveness of the "Tiansha" is not high, it is not as brave as the army of the Holy Dynasty, but it can win in flexibility, and it is very familiar with the sea area. Therefore, even if the fleet of the Holy Dynasty tried to exterminate this group of pirates, they could not catch it. As long as the boat is driven into the ** sea, it will not be able to catch up.

The so-called sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps like this.

This sea is the home of the pirates of the "Tiansha".

Over time, the people called these pirates "Heavenly Evil"!

The people don't know who these people are, but there are two people whose names they know. When the five tribes were still there, the eldest prince took the Danniao Department to confront the other four tribes, and at the same time asked Dingbo Mansion to send troops to help. This group of pirates took advantage of this opportunity to actually set foot on the shore, and went deep into Dingbo Mansion, ransacked the mansion of the county warden Hou Bohou, and left on the wall, the words of the big boss Luo Da and the three masters Luo Sandao came here, and also painted a shark head, which is a unique symbol of Tiansha!

However, when Hou Bohou was in a hurry, the eldest prince sent a part of his army back to Dingbo Mansion, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the four major tribes hurriedly stopped the counterattack. But not long after chasing them out, this group of Tiansha actually went to the strongholds of the four major tribes and looted a wave.

Although they have gained a lot, they have also lost a lot of people. After all, the four major tribes (as mentioned in the second volume, the Great Prince used the Danniao Department to fight against the other four tribes, so here are only the four major tribes. All of them have the ability to resist beasts or birds, and those birds or beasts make them lose a lot.

However, this raid made the four major tribes hurriedly return to defense, and the eldest prince followed a burst of pursuit, and immediately achieved good results.

Since then, no one dares to underestimate this gang of gods.

Even when the eldest prince was guarding, as long as this group of pirates was not too excessive, it was difficult for him to manage.

This is a gang of pirates who are both brutal and incomprehensible. They can rob the people, rob the eunuchs, and they can also sneak attack the five major tribes. The people loved and hated this group of pirates, but since the departure of the Great Prince, this group of pirates has only plundered some merchant ships going to the offshore islands, and the people have rarely been harassed.

Hou Bohou hated the pirates so much, when the eldest prince was there, he asked for orders to go to sea several times to fight, but he was suppressed by the eldest prince. The eldest prince is gone, still with most of the elite, although he still wants to kill this group of pirates, but his combat effectiveness is insufficient, so he can only give up.

At the beginning, this group of pirates robbed him of most of his family property, not to mention, and took away all four of his concubines.

Some time ago, there was good news from Dingbo Mansion, saying that some pirates had been caught, I thought it was a small fish and shrimp, but I didn't expect it to be the famous Tiansha three masters Luo Sandao!

Hou Bohou snorted coldly, looked at Luo Sandao, looked at Xun Fa, and asked, "Luo Sandao, do you know this person!"

"I don't know!" Luo Sandao insisted.

"Don't you really know?" asked Hou Bohou again.

Luo Sandao laughed loudly, and was immediately slapped in the mouth by two officials, his eyes were fierce, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he couldn't move, so he could only look at the two officials.

"You know those four women, Lao Tzu!" Luo Sandao said angrily, staring at Hou Bohou.

Hou Bohou's face was blue and white. Gritting his teeth one last time, a token was dropped.

"Call me!"

As he spoke, he hugged a few handymen and tightened the chains on his body, and Luo Sandao was put on the ground, and he suffered a burst of sticks.

"Dare to quibble!"

As he spoke, he took out a letter and unfolded it.

"Is this a letter from your Tiansha to Xun Fa?"

When Luo Sandao saw this letter, he was stunned for a moment, and finally glanced at Xun Fa apologetically, closed his eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and he seemed to use all his strength to speak: "Brother Xun, I didn't expect it to affect you!"

As soon as these words came out, Xun Fa was stunned, and there was an uproar around!

Hou Bohou bared his teeth, not knowing whether he was happy or heartbroken, so he asked the old Juan, "Didn't you say that there is a list of bribes!"

Juan knelt on the ground, at which point he knew he had been fooled. But in this posture of the county guard, he couldn't even say a word, just lay on the ground and cried.

Hou Bohou glanced left and right, and immediately someone went up to Juan's arms to search, and then took out a booklet, which recorded all the things in the Xun Mansion that did not belong to Xun Fa.

At this point, Xun Fa was at a loss for words. There are witnesses, physical evidence, and even people who believe in him have come out to testify, even if he has ten mouths, he can't say clearly.

Hou Bohou gave an order, Xun Fa's official hat was taken down, and he was sent to prison, where people were arranged to be strictly guarded.

.........

In the small prison in Fengming County, a strong man looked at Hou Bohou with a flattering face.

"My lord, how was the little one doing?"

Hou Bohou nodded and said, "Yes, it looks a little bit." ”

"And what you promised?"

Hou Bohou waved his sleeves and said, "Naturally, it's no problem, how can I lie to you." The money is ready, and when I escort Naxunfa to Dingbo Mansion, I will find an opportunity to release you, and when it is time to behead you, put on a black hood, and find a death row prisoner to replace you at will, and then it will be fine. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" the strong man kept talking, rubbing his hands, how could he have the fierce appearance just now.

This person is the "Luo Sandao" who just pointed out Xun Fa!"

"Okay, you were also beaten today, so I naturally won't treat you badly, so I brought some wine and meat. ”

As he spoke, he brought out a brocade box and took out a few dishes.

He personally served food and poured wine for this homeless man who had been found in the ravine. Hou Bohou was reluctant in his heart, but what could he do, he could only endure to serve this strong man!

This strong man is five big and three thick, but he is not stupid, he looked at the wine handed over by Hou Bohou, and said with a roll of his eyes: "My lord, except for a big trouble, why don't you drink a cup together?"

Hou Bohou looked at this person and sneered in his heart.

This strong man was afraid that the wine was poisonous, so he wanted to accompany him for a drink.

It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, there are two wine glasses in the brocade box, Hou Bohou has a glass of wine for himself and him respectively, and before he can raise the wine glass, the strong man stared at Hou Bohou and said, "Lord County Shou, wait." ”

Hou Bohou stopped and looked at the strong man.

"My lord, I want to drink your cup!"

Hou Bohou stared at the strong man, the strong man's heart was pounding, and the small prison suddenly fell silent, and the strong man seemed to hear his own heartbeat. He bit his lip and made up his mind, if Hou Bohou didn't change, he would shout loudly, he didn't want to go out and enjoy a good life!

The air seemed to be still, and Hou Bohou's eyes were like a sharp sword.

The reddest, Hou Bohou smiled lightly and handed over the wine glass in his hand.

"Absolutely. ”

The strong man was slightly surprised, but he still exchanged wine glasses with Hou Bohou and drank them all.

The strong man was already poor and had no family, otherwise Hou Bohou would not have asked him to do this. He drank the glass and smacked his lips, as if in an aftertaste. He had only drunk sake lees before, where was the money to drink good wine!

Looking at the dishes Hou Bohou put in front of him, chicken, duck and fish, it was very hearty.

He was about to move his chopsticks, but suddenly stopped in mid-air, habitually biting his chopsticks, and looked at Hou Bohou.

Hou Bohou smiled and said: "I don't care, the trouble in my heart has to be eliminated, so I naturally want to celebrate, but I only brought a pair of chopsticks." The strong man was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had licked the chopsticks just now.

Hou Bohou rolled up his sleeves and tore off a chicken leg, which was stained on various dishes, and then he took a bite.

Seeing this, the strong man immediately let go of the doubts in his heart and hurriedly said, "Thank you, my lord!"

As he spoke, he gulped down the dishes.

Hou Bohou smiled, wiped his hands, stood up, and walked out of the prison.

In the distance, there was the sound of a strong man swallowing, and he also exclaimed that it was delicious. Hou Bohou stood in place, waiting quietly.

It didn't take long for the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Hou Bohou returned to the front of the prison again, only to see the strong man foaming at the mouth and silent.

"Idiot!"

Hou Bohou said lightly.

Naturally, he couldn't keep this person in the world, only a dead man could make him completely reassured. He also drank wine and ate meat, but how could he not be poisoned?

Hou Bohou had already calculated it, and the poison was naturally ordered, but there was no wine in it, no in the cup, and no in the dishes.

The poison was applied to the chopsticks.

Because of this, he brought two wine glasses, but only a pair of chopsticks!

Hou Bohou looked at this corpse and smiled coldly!

"Xun Fa, I'll see how you get out!"

......

In the past three or four days, the days have passed slowly. Xu Changan didn't go to Xun Fa, let alone know that something had happened to Xun Fa.

He practiced in his room all day, and Chu Liang read books in his room. As for Li Daoyi and Xiaobai, they went to gamble at night and slept during the day, even if this matter was spreading, they still didn't know.

However, Li Daoyi said another thing to Xu Changan.

In the village where they went to gamble, some livestock had died inexplicably in the last two days, and there were tooth marks on their necks, but they were not like the teeth of wild animals, but like human teeth.

Li Daoyi suspected that it was a disciple of the Demon Dao who came here, and just in case, he wanted Xu Changan to investigate!
