"Knock on your lord!"

Zhou You and his entourage knelt down.

They looked at each other, as if they had already discussed.

In fact, the wounds on their bodies were also inflicted by themselves, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The county commander nodded, "Zhou You, how Liujia Village resists paying taxes and grain, how to beat the errand soldiers, you tell me in detail!"

"Yes!"

Zhou You glanced at the pitiful Liu Fugui and sneered: "A few days ago, the little one was ordered by the adults to go to Liujia Village to collect taxes and grain, but the villagers of Liujia Village were extremely arrogant and domineering, not only refused to pay taxes, but also beat me up. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs.

Liu Fugui panicked and wanted to cry without tears, "Master Sifu, you ...... How can you open your eyes and tell nonsense!"

"Fifty stone tax grain, we obviously paid it all, and loaded five carriages!"

Zhou You shook his head, "Liu Fugui, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, obviously it is your Liujia Village that resists paying taxes and grain, and I haven't received a grain of grain, where did I get fifty stones?"

"You ......"

Liu Fugui's mouth was blunt, how could he say Zhou You, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, with tears in his eyes.

Syllable!

The county magistrate is also a confused official, and he was shocked and made a conclusion, "Hmph, the bold Diao people dare to resist taxes and beat officials, now the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say!"

"Come on, put this Diao people in prison!"

When the words fell, Liu Fuguideng's face was like ashes, and he was so desperate that he forgot to shout injustice.

"Slow!"

"Wait!"

Li Yuanzhao's master and apprentice spoke at the same time and stepped into the lobby.

"Who are you waiting for?" the county magistrate scolded.

The servants on the left and right raised their sticks and drove them away.

"Witness!" Mo Yiyi said without thinking, "We are Liu Fugui's witnesses!"

"This ......"

The county magistrate Zou frowned, obviously he didn't expect this to happen, and two witnesses appeared out of nowhere.

However, he carefully looked at Mo Yiyi's appearance, and saw that his waist was not full of hands, and his appearance was beautiful and glamorous, but he was a pretty and smart girl.

The county magistrate couldn't help but be fascinated, and he had a thought, and secretly said that if he got this girl in his hands and had a good time, he would be willing to live for ten years!

Seeing Li Yuanzhao and the others, Liu Fugui was excited, as if he had walked around from the ghost gate, he suddenly wanted to be alive, and almost cried, "Old gentleman, girl, save me!"

Li Yuanzhao nodded slightly, and took a few steps forward, "Lord County Order, the old man and the apprentice are wanderers who walk the rivers and lakes, and they stopped in Liujia Village a few days ago, witnessed what happened, and came to testify for Liu Fugui today." ”

The county order didn't say a word, and he didn't hear Li Yuanzhao's words clearly, but just stared at Mo Yiyi with his eyes.

Mo Yiyi was a little impatient, and his chin was slightly raised, "Hey, are you deaf, my master is talking to you!"

The county commander woke up and coughed lightly, "You...... How do you testify?"

Li Yuanzhao continued: "Lord County Commander, the old man and the apprentice have seen with their own eyes, this husband named Zhou You brought a messenger to Liujia Village to collect taxes, and the villagers treated each other warmly, honestly handed over fifty stone tax grain, and did not have any tax resistance, as for beating the errand servants, it is even more nonsense!"

Mo Yiyi nodded repeatedly, "That's the case!"

"This ...... This is a bit troublesome," the county magistrate touched his beard, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes rolled slightly, "It seems that this case is still suspicious, and it cannot be convicted for the time being." ”

Zhou You was anxious, "My lord, I ......"

The county magistrate waved his hand and signaled to shut up, "That's it, let's leave the court today, wait for the official to investigate carefully, and make a judgment tomorrow and leave the court!"

Hearing this, Liu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

Although he has not yet been exonerated from the crime, he has finally taken a turn for the better.

Mo Yiyi also smiled, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and said in his heart that although this fat county order looked unpleasant to the thief, it was not faint.

"Oh, that's right," the county commander smiled, squinting at Mo Yiyi, "Where do your masters and apprentices live, you should tell the official, and the official will ask you about it." ”

Mo Yiyi was rejoicing, and said the name of the inn without thinking.

The county commander was satisfied, and retreated to the back office step by step.

The officials retreated one by one, and at the same time put Liu Fugui in prison and waited for a decision tomorrow.

There was no excitement to see, and the people dispersed.

The master and apprentice made their way through the noisy crowd and returned to the inn.

On the way, Mo Yiyi was in a happy mood and hummed a little song.

She thinks that this matter has taken a turn for the better, and she can save Liu Fugui from prison tomorrow and go home for reunion.

Li Yuanzhao was not so optimistic, and he was faintly worried.

Sure enough, in the evening, it was getting dark.

Two officials came to the inn to find the master and apprentice.

"Girl, the county magistrate asked us to invite the girl to the yamen, and we have something important to ask. ”

"Only me?" Mo Yiyi was surprised, "What about my master?"

"The magistrate said that only the girl should be invited," replied the officer, "and we know nothing else." ”

Mo Yiyi hesitated a little and looked at Li Yuanzhao.

"Since it's a question, you should go," Li Yuanzhao nodded, "However, there are a few words of instruction for the teacher." ”

With that, he pulled Mo Yiyi into the house and closed the door.

Mo Yiyi looked confused, "Master, what do you say?"

Li Yuanzhao patted her on the head, "Stupid apprentice, do you really think that the county order is looking for you to ask about the case?"

Mo Yiyi was stunned, "Then why?"

Li Yuanzhao touched his beard and sneered, "This county order looks like a traitor, full of bad water, let you go alone, you must not have a good heart!"

Mo Yiyi chuckled twice, "That's how powerful he is in vain!"

"Master, don't worry, if he dares to have evil thoughts, I will destroy him with a sword!"

Li Yuanzhao couldn't cry or laugh, "As a teacher, I'm not worried about this, your swordsmanship has been a little successful, and you have a golden ribbon to protect yourself, it is easy to deal with this group of wine bags and rice bags in the Yamen, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

"Then what is Master worried about?" suddenly received a small compliment, Mo Yiyi was happy in his heart and smiled.

Li Yuanzhao continued: "As a teacher, I am worried that you have the courage and no strategy, you will punch and cut the sword at every turn, act recklessly, and it is easy to cause a big disaster!"

"Remember, don't use force indiscriminately, you have to use your brains more and act in your rights, it's best to get out of the county order to find out if there is anything else behind this case, and then make a decision. ”

Mo Yiyi didn't care, "Master, you're too timid, aren't you just a small county order, and your aunt and grandmother will go down with a sword......"

Facing Li Yuanzhao's sudden and stern gaze, she hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence and muttered, "Remember, Master!"

She is still young, how can she understand Li Yuanzhao's hard work.

Li Yuanzhao is not timid, don't say that the small county government, even if the palace is big, he can break through.

But he couldn't take Mo Yiyi with him for the rest of his life to protect this stupid girl.

In the future, Mo Yiyi will run alone, if he is still reckless, he will draw his sword and fight at every turn, and sooner or later he will cause a big disaster and his life will not be guaranteed.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Mo Yiyi asked.

Li Yuanzhao smiled slightly, "The master has already found out Zhou You's residence, and I will meet him later, or I may be able to ask the reason for this case." ”

It turned out that Master had thought it through for a long time.

Mo Yiyi secretly admired.

After the decision, the master and apprentice acted separately.

Mo Yiyi took the opportunity to go to the Yamen and break into the "Longtan Tiger's Den", while Li Yuanzhao went to find Zhou You and ask for an understanding.

Soon, into the night.
