Aunt Niu nodded heavily and replied, "Yes--yes---."

Xu Cao hurriedly said: "Even so, what can you prove, it can only prove that after careful investigation, you colluded with the bandits to enter the Meihugou ---."

Tao Hong didn't know where he got the courage, so he forced up, glared at Xu Cao and asked: "Where to ask, who knows that you are in Meihugou, have you told the villagers? Tell the villagers that you recruited them into Meihugou to rob the tomb for you?"

Xu Cao was speechless, took two steps back, and Tao Hong turned around and asked the hundreds of villagers on the field: "Is there a --- of villagers from Niugou Village here?"

Here are a few shouts: "There are ---".

Tao Hong took two steps forward and said: "Later, we went to the horse farm to transport wood to my Taojiazhuang, and we transported it three times in total." Pointing to the villagers below, he shouted, "They've seen them all, haven't they?"

"Yes---" a resounding response.

Xu Cao smiled heartlessly: "What --- can it prove?"

"You're a pig,---," Tao Hong scolded.

"Are you ---" Xu Cao glared at him angrily and asked: "I know that Huo Dao will not be in Ganquan Village in the next few days--- not in Meihugou, so where did he go?"

Tao Hong grinned and replied: "At my house--- help me repair the wine shop--- eat with me, sleep with me--- and don't return to Ganquan Village until the day before yesterday, is it enough?"

Xu Caodun's face turned blue, pointed to Tao Hong's nose and shouted: "What are you--- I still eat with you and ---sleep with you."

"She is the fifth young grandmother of the Huo family in my Ganquan Village---" At this time, a group of people came up from the audience, and the leader was naturally Bai Xiaoying, and behind him, Huo Zhennan, Huo Zhenxi, Wen Dewang--- and a group of people followed, and went up to the stage.

Even the county magistrate Nacai was embarrassed to sit down, got up and greeted him slightly: "Mr. Bai--- why are you here?"

Bai Xiaoying poked the ground with her snake staff, and shouted: "My old woman, if you don't come again, my favorite grandson will be killed alive as a bandit", and asked Cai Jiuxiang with a little respect: "Yes, Lord Cai."

Cai Jiuxiang waved his hand and smiled, and said: "Don't dare--- don't dare--- I am here? Who dares to do anything wrong."

pulled up a chair again and asked Bai Xiaoying, "Please sit ---."

"Haha--- ridiculous--- as far as I know, the second girl of the Tao family is not married yet---" Xu Cao sneered.

Bai Xiaoying glanced at him twice, and shouted in the square in front of him: "What do you call this girl ---."

The audience shouted: "Fifth young grandmother ---."

Xu Cao was still unwilling, and sneered: "That doesn't mean that the family protects the family and can't testify."

"Enough--- Battalion Commander Xu, Senior Bai is here, you are not allowed to come nonsense" Cai Jiuxiang couldn't collapse anymore, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Cao, and shouted sternly.

Seeing that there was no longer a dispute, after a while, Huo Dao came up and smiled at Tao Hong, straightened his waist, saluted Cai Jiuxiang, and said: "County Magistrate Cai, my innocence has been clearly explained, but I have a few questions I want to ask this Camp Commander Xu, is it okay."

Cai Jiuxiang stretched out his hand to ask, Huo Dao approached Xu Cao and asked, "May I ask Camp Commander Xu--- where did you go to recruit a large number of peasants and what ?--- you did?"

Xu Cao saluted his hand and said: "On the order of the party commander, enter the archaeological excavation --- Meihugou."

Huo Dao asked again: "You said that you were ransacked by bandits, then, where are the bandits?

Xu Cao lowered his head and replied: "They took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak attack, and they couldn't see --- clearly."

"Good ---" Huo Dao raised his voice, drank loudly, walked to the back, and walked to Niu Erdan, who had been whipped to an inhuman shape, because Huo Dao was still willing to believe that Niu Erdan would not betray him, it was impossible to betray him.

wiped the blood and tears on Niu Erdan's face with his cuffs, wiped the blood that flowed out of the corners of his mouth that hated himself and wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, and looked straight at him, looking at him who wanted to cry without tears and was extremely guilty.

He shouted loudly: "Why don't you let this group of poor villagers talk about it, why don't you let this group of laborers who have been taken into the evil underworld of Meihugou for no reason tell me ---what they have done and what --- they have seen."

"You can't arrest people for no reason for ---, you can't lynch people for no reason, let them say ---" The crowd shouted one after another.

He Nai, but also pretend to be kind, and the officials who uphold justice for the public cannot but listen to the voices of the people. Cai Jiuxiang came up and said quietly: "Okay--- let them talk about ---."

Xu Cao desperately glanced at Cai Jiuxiang, but at this moment, he couldn't do without the people's righteousness, and he couldn't listen to the people's voices. Recruit a few people, untie Niu Erdan and a few villagers around him, and support him in front of the stage.

Huo Dao stepped forward and stood beside them, and said with firm eyes: "You say it boldly, say it loudly, and tell the truth, what --- you see in Meihugou."

At this time, Niu Erdan was already fearless of life and death, he felt that he had betrayed Huo Dao, broken his promise, and had a chance to let him speak, he had already thanked Huo Dao for his great kindness, raised his head, tried his best, and shouted loudly: "Hundreds of villagers in several villages at the foot of our Guanshan were forcibly escorted to Meihugou by this group of officers and soldiers, digging graves for them, stealing treasures from the tombs, and living in darkness for half a month, not enough to eat, not to wear, but to do that bitter and tired ----work that lacks morality."

swallowed his saliva, and shouted: "They are officials, we are the people, they hold guns in their hands, we are unarmed--- we can only endure and stay up, because I know that we will not live long, every day there are starving to death and freezing to death--- the most terrible thing is the fox, as soon as the night falls, the fox howls, if you are not careful, you will be torn by the fox, bite off the neck ---."

wiped the tears on his face again, and shouted: "Their battalion of soldiers, more than 400 people--- have guns in their hands, and every night they use the guns and cannons in their hands to tear and kill the fox, killing and wounding countless people, such as hell on earth, even so, they will not give up, let me continue to rob the tomb." Our hearts are dead, our hopes are shattered, and we work hard every day, only waiting for death, just hoping that we will not become a snack --- for the fox."

After a few days, the commander saw that the soldiers under his command were getting fewer and fewer day by day, but the fox was gathering more and more, and came up with the idea of using fire to deal with the fox--- dug a fire ditch around it, and at night, the fire was lit up, as if it was day. I thought that I scared the fox, but I thought that the fox was even more psychic, fearless of life and death, and went forward one after another, on the night of the first day of the lunar month, hundreds of thousands or even more foxes surrounded the entire camp.

Until one night, the fox launched a crazy attack, they used their own bodies to press the ring of fire, flying up and down, tearing left and right, until after breaking through the defense line, countless foxes like crazy, tearing and biting when they see people, corpses are all over the field, and blood flows like a river---

The camp was breached by the fox, so the officers and soldiers were frightened, lost their souls, and fled in all directions like headless flies, and the foxes pursued in groups.

Xu Cao regressed again and again, everything was fate, and finally struggled, and roared angrily: "Then why didn't you die ---."

"Haha--- haha---" Niu Erdan laughed wildly and shouted: "That's all thanks to you--- we hundreds of laborers, eat in the ancient tomb, sleep in the ancient tomb, and be with the dead, the tomb is our residence, and that night is even more so, when the fox came, it scared all of us to hide in the tomb--- and did not dare to come out until dawn to ---."

Niu Erdan glared at Xu Cao and said with a smile: "We lived like this--- it was God who took pity on us, it was God who let us be reborn--- we dragged each other's bodies at dawn the next day, stepping on your corpses, and only then did we return ---home with the only half of our lives left."

"Haha---" Niu Erdan laughed madly again, cried and laughed for a while, and asked: "You don't give us food or drink, and you don't care if we live or die, do you want to leave us there to feed the --- of the fox."

There was a lot of crying and complaining off the field. Cai Jiuxiang's face was dark, how could he have expected it to be like this, pretending to be hypocritical and respectful, and said humbly: "I'm sorry, I derelicted my duty --- let you suffer."

Huo Dao smiled coldly and asked: "Is this the end of it? The suffering of the villagers cannot be in vain, and the punishment cannot be in vain--- County Magistrate Cai, you are our parent official, and you are the Qingtian Lord of Longxian County, you should always explain to the people---

Cai Jiuxiang smiled helplessly, pulled Xu Cao back a few steps, and muttered in a low voice: "Xu Ying, you are making a fuss about this, how do you want me to deal with the aftermath and how to calm the anger of the people, you have to give an explanation."

Xu Cao was furious, waved his big hand and snorted coldly: "A group of gangsters, especially the group of swordsmen in Ganquanzhai, are actually bandits - County Magistrate Cai, we are friends, you should speak for me, why do you help this group of bandits in turn?"

Although Xu Cao is the commander of the first battalion, he can be regarded as a commander, but in Cai Jiuxiang's eyes, he is a reckless man, and he is brainless, and he said coldly: "Ignorant --- do you think that the head of the knife in Xifu was blown out---?

Xu Cao's thinking is very rough. One sneered and laughed: "Haha, when did County Magistrate Cai be so timid and afraid, isn't it just a group of swordsmen? With the strength of you and me, we suppressed them, and they didn't dare to say a word, don't you think it's easy to manage?"

Cai Jiuxiang shook his head at this reckless man, sneered, Xiu Chang couldn't explain it when he met the Taoist soldiers, and scolded: "If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't pull me up."

Xu Cao Cai Jiuxiang didn't want to deal with him, so he muttered in his heart, grabbed Cai Jiuxiang and smirked: "County Magistrate Cai, you are showing me a clear way."

Cai Jiuxiang shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's okay, it's not for the sake of the party commander's face, it's really rare to talk to you."

In the southeast of Longdong, which was called Xifu in ancient times, the government army known as the party is one of the largest and most powerful forces; and in the hearts of the people of several counties in Xifu, the major swordsman families headed by Ganquanzhai are the second if they gather together; the third is that the bandits hidden in the major mountain ranges are not 100,000 but also tens of thousands, but a group of snakes without a head, each in its own formation, as far as the 3,000 people under the king of Wushan, Han Shichang of Guanshan, known as Guanshan Leopard, also known as Han Cripple, also have thousands of soldiers, the three snobbery is like the Three Kingdoms, in this Xifu romance their story。
