"You ---" Xu Cao was completely dumbfounded, this was too rampant, openly beating the chief. But when I think about it again, I really have no evidence, and then I look at my own rags and be escorted to the court, which is also unreasonable.

But how can he be an official, he can't lose his momentum, and he can't be defeated at the feet of this group of mountain villagers. But just as he was about to refute, Huo Dao kicked another flying foot on his fat belly, bowed and fell to the ground.

Huo Dao stepped forward and stepped directly on his chest, not giving him a chance to speak, and shouted: "It's too rampant, are you from Wushan or a bandit from Guanshan."

He shouted again: "Give you a quarter of an hour, not to mention the bandits, all of them will be solved on the spot, so that you can save the --- of looting the people again."

Xu Cao was at a loss, lost his courage, and muttered: "I'm not a bandit, I'm the battalion commander under the party commander---."

"Ha--- ha--- ridiculous, shameless" Huo Dao sneered coldly, raised his head and approached Ding Gui, pointed directly at his nose and shouted: "And you don't know others, I can recognize --- ---."

"That, that's great--- Brother Huo knows me Ding Gui--- Seeing that the general trend has gone, it is already someone else's meat on the case, and Ding Gui pretends to be pitiful and hypocritical.

"It's not like--" Huo Dao slapped him directly and scolded: "Shameless, dare to say that I am Ding Gui--- last time I disguised Ding Company Commander, I saw through it, and now I dare to come to ---."

He even shouted at the hundreds of villagers on the field: "Folks, you say, are these people bandits ---?"

It was a voice in unison, resounding in the mountains and rivers: "Yes--- bandits."

Huo Gang even led a few brothers, and when they came up, they beat the group of officials indiscriminately, rolling all over the ground, screaming.

Just as Huo Dao was about to let people relieve the villagers of Niugou Village, who were beaten all over his body, two people squeezed up on the field, and those two Huo Dao were familiar, one was the head of Baaquetrough Township, and the other was Hao Chun, the adjutant of the head of Cai's regiment who made a big wedding banquet last time.

Rushed to the stage and waved his hand to stop: "Wait--- I can prove that they are not bandits."

Huo Dao can no longer pretend, can no longer pretend to be stupid, and insists on treating officers and soldiers as bandits, although the officers and soldiers in this world are sometimes worse than bandits. greeted him and saluted: "Township Chief Ma, Adjutant Hao, you are here, it's great--- this group of bandits will be handed over to you."

Hao Chun sneered, glared at Huo Dao twice, hated and underestimated the person in front of him, snorted coldly, walked over to help Xu Cao, and then helped Ding Gui, and said: "I can prove that they are not bandits--- but the officers and soldiers of the third battalion of the party commander, he is Xu Cao, the commander of the third battalion of the second regiment, and he is the commander of the second battalion of the third battalion, Ding Gui---."

"No--how is it possible, Adjutant Hao, you admit your mistake" Huo Dao pretended to be stupid, shook his head, pointed directly at the group of people, and said with a smile: "There are officers and soldiers who pretend to be companions like this, in tattered clothes, with yellow faces and thin muscles, standing like they don't stand, full of foul language, rude and barbaric, unreasonable, not a bandit who has not eaten for several days ---hidden in the mountains."

Hao Chun's eyes were white, and he stretched out his hand to Ding Gui and asked, "Take out your documents."

The document is indeed the best and most powerful evidence, Xu Cao also felt that he was stupid for a while, hurriedly took it out, took out a small blue book, unfolded it in front of Huo Dao, and shouted: "you big, don't accuse me that you are illiterate."

Huo Dao snatched it, pretended to look at it, and asked with wide eyes: "No-how is it possible, it can't be fake."

Hao Chun couldn't be angry, caught up with two steps and pointed to the red mark on the book, and shouted: "If you're big--- don't you see the red mark on it?"

Hao Chun didn't want to entangle with Huo Dao about the truth and falsehood, and shouted: "Don't let your fellow villagers put down their weapons, and it will not be --- to openly confront the government."

Helpless, but the goal has been achieved, Huo Dao has no intention of confronting the government, and he has no ability to confront, so he waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

As soon as he was saved, Xu Cao's evil image was revealed, and he was about to kill Huo Dao, when suddenly a shout outside the court: "County Magistrate Cai is ---."

I saw a person walking forward, neat and majestic, but his fat and shining falling flesh propped up the tight tunic, as if the tight clothes were about to burst open if he was not careful, with a round face and a pointed mini, fat bags under the thick eyebrows squeezed the eyes into a long slit, hooked nose and thick lips, and seemed to be smiling. Behind him, several important government officials followed, and hundreds of vigilante groups were fully armed, striding and then surrounding.

Cai County Magistrate, whose real name is Cai Jiuxiang, is extremely greedy, lustful, and does all kinds of evil, and is known as Cai Jiu Poison. went up to the stage, Xu Cao stepped forward to salute, and shook hands and sneered. pulled Xu Cao aside and muttered for a long time. Maybe it's knowing the ins and outs of the whole process.

After a long time, Cai Jiu Poison stepped forward, waved to the people in the square and said quietly: "This county is here today to uphold justice for you---" Pointing at Xu Cao and saying: "He is indeed not a bandit, he is an officer of the regular army, and he is still the commander of a battalion, named Xu Cao ---."

"Don't talk about it, it's useless, a group of Diao people, say that these have a top use" Xu Cao's anger always wants to find a landlord to vent, of course, more importantly, the task of Meihugou has failed, the money is gone, the face is gone, the people are gone, if you don't find a group of dead ghosts first, you can't go back at all, the position of the battalion commander has been lifted, and I am afraid that the head on the top of the head can hardly be guaranteed to stay on the neck.

Of course, most of it was also Na Dinggui's idea, using a knife to kill people. Xu Cao's heart was iron-hearted, and he wanted this group of villagers to kill their own work, and he wanted to scrape out the oil and water he wanted from Huo Dao's body.

Just gained power again, officials protect each other, and there is only one purpose --- interests. Standing up towards Huo Dao, he shouted: "Bandit--- what you did just now completely proves your banditry behavior, needless to say."

Cai Jiu Poison smiled, squeezed between the two of them, and said with a smile: "Camp Commander Xu, don't worry, you are not a bandit, I will prove to you that he is the fifth young master of the Huo family in Ganquan Village, and it is impossible to be a bandit, I can also prove this."

Why Cai Jiu Poison wants to prove it for Huo Dao, no one knows whether he has a deeper purpose, or a political and metallurgical way of dealing with different factions. Xu Cao was not as twisty as his, waved his hand and pointed at Huo Dao, and shouted viciously: "He is not a bandit--- who can prove that you are deceived by County Magistrate Cai."

"Xu Cao, are you saying that I lost the investigation, I can't tell whether it is the people or the bandits, I am the head of the county is derelict in his duties, and the bandits have penetrated into the township but don't know it---" Cai Jiu Poison broke out on the spot and stared at Xu Cao, how to say that he is the local governor, managing this land and the people, and controlling the taxes, money and grain of a county.

Xu Cao was really startled, but he just pretended to be calm, took a step back, and then said to Cai Jiuxiang with a smile: "I'm sorry, county magistrate, I didn't mean that--- I have to get ---" and pointed to Huo Dao's nose: "Someone accused him of colluding with bandits, entering Meihu Ditch, and committing a cruel and inhumane crime, a great crime." Hundreds of officers and soldiers scattered their lives---I can't be sorry for all my brothers, let alone for the cultivation of the party commander."

Cai Jiuxiang took a few steps back, stepped to a table and chair that someone had brought up, slapped the table violently, and said, "Then I, the head of the county, will lend you a treasure today to judge this case."

Then he pointed to them and said, "Which of you will speak --- first."

Xu Cao bore the brunt of the attack, stepped into the middle of the scene, pointed to Huo Dao and asked, "You first explain what I just said, you said no, what about the physical evidence---?"

"Haha--- ridiculous, then what proof do you have to prove that I have been there," Huo Dao asked rhetorically.

Xu Cao beckoned, but he didn't want to, the two soldiers in the Niangniang Palace escorted out a woman, frightened, her pale and yellow face was full of tears, and blood was dripping from her tattered clothes.

Huo Dao was even more shocked, this person was none other than Niu Erdan's mother, and he couldn't help blurting out softly: "Aunt Niu ---."

was escorted to the stage, pushed into the middle of the field, and lay on the ground, just when he looked up, he saw Huo Dao, frightened, supported himself and crawled, crawled to kneel, crawled and knelt at the feet of Huo Dao, wailed, and screamed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Fifth Young Master--- I don't want to betray you, but I don't say it, I will die in Erdan---I'm sorry ---."

Huo Dao was shocked for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he pretended to be smiling, and wanted to help Aunt Niu, but Xu Cao didn't give him a chance, rushed over, picked up a kick, and directly lifted Aunt Niu aside, and said coldly: "Fifth young master--- you are a good fifth young master, what else do you have to say now."

Huo Dao sighed, helpless, shook his head and smiled, and sighed: "There is nothing to say---

"Okay--- someone, escort him up" Xu Cao was so happy in his heart, the treacherous plan succeeded. Shaking his fat face, he laughed.

"Wait---" suddenly a person crowded into the field, shouting. After following the prestige, I saw Tao Hong rushing to the stage without waiting for the call, standing beside Huo Dao and saying, "I have something to say---."

Xu Cao came over, raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly: "Where did you come from, wild girl, is this the place where you speak?"

Tao Hong was fearless, stepped forward, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it reasonable to say? Is there a grievance that has nowhere to be expressed? Isn't County Magistrate Cai here to uphold justice?"

Cai Jiuxiang was put out, stretched out his hand and asked, "Report the name --- first."

"Eight aqueducts, Taoxia Village, Tao Hong, the second girl of the Tao family" Tao Hong said bluntly, and asked Cai Jiuxiang: "I have a few questions I want to ask this aunt, please ask the county magistrate Cai if it is allowed."

Cai Jiuxiang nodded and replied, "Ask."

Tao Hong directly forced Auntie Niu to her side, and with the momentum on her body, Auntie Niu didn't dare to look up. asked: "May I ask Auntie, when and where did you see Huo Dao--- what did you see him, where did he go--- who else saw him but you."

Niu Niang slammed her fist on the ground and cried out: "Sin--- I deserve to die---."

Tao Hong said bluntly: "You just need to answer me---"

Aunt Niu cried: "On the morning of the 19th, it was snowing heavily the night before, and the fifth young master led a few people to Daniugou Village--." But he began to howl and cry again.

Tao Hong said to Xu Cao: "I said for her, on the morning of the 19th, the fifth young master led a few villagers from Ganquan Village and several workers from my family to Guanshan Racecourse, just passing by Niugou Village, and wanted to go to Niu Erdan's house for a while, only to know that the strong men in the village were recruited by your --- to be laborers--- as for where to go, no one knows, no one knows what to do, right, Auntie---."
