Seeing that the official messenger came to the door and heard that he was going to the yamen, Yan Zhennan and Jiang Yuan were not too surprised. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Last night, Yan Zhennan and the Gale Gang had a fierce fight, and there were many casualties, and this kind of thing absolutely can't be hidden from the ears of the government.

At that moment, Yan Zhennan was full of momentum, and his eyes became more and more fierce.

It is an ordinary thing to walk the rivers and lakes to take people's lives, but if you want to fall into prison because of self-preservation, it is better to fight hard and die in the rivers and lakes.

In addition, Yan Zhennan is a foreigner who does not understand the local situation, and only thinks that this is the Gale Gang colluding with the government to set himself up.

Feeling Yan Zhennan's murderous intent towards the two officials, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"Master, don't be impulsive. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan arched his hand at the two officials, and when the palm of his hand held the palm of the two officials, there was already some broken silver in it.

Then Jiang Yuan smiled and asked:

"I wonder if the two big brothers can tell me why the county magistrate invited my master?"

The two officials quietly accepted the broken silver and said politely to Jiang Yuan:

"Young Master Xu is polite! What is the specific matter, to be honest, I don't know if it's small. It's just that all the people with heads and faces in the capital have been invited to the yamen. By the way, even Young Master Xu's honored wife was invited. ”

Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised after hearing this, Lin Muqing was also invited by the magistrate?

However, if you want to talk about the families with status in the capital, the Xu family is also one of them by virtue of the connections and family background accumulated by the antique business for several generations.

It's just that after the death of Master Xu, Lin Muqing has always been in charge of the Xu family, and Xu Shaohua is addicted to wine, incompetent and cowardly, which is also known to the world.

Therefore, if the magistrate of the county has something important to discuss with the important people in the city, then inviting Lin Muqing instead of Xu Shaohua is also being cleaned up.

"Is it because of ...... What happened last night?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it, there were a lot of casualties last night, and there was a lot of movement, which was indeed a big deal.

In addition to the fierce fight between the Gale Gang and Yan Zhennan, something else must have happened, so much so that the magistrate ordered someone to close the city gate early in the morning.

At that moment, Jiang Yuan whispered a few words in Yan Zhennan's ear, and after Yan Zhennan listened, the killing intent gradually faded.

In the end, Yan Zhennan opened his mouth and said to the official messenger:

"Okay, I'll go to the yamen with my apprentice!"

The official had no opinion on Yan Zhennan taking two apprentices, after all, the young master of the Xu family was also among them.

Immediately, the group left the inn and walked towards the yamen.

Although the times are changing, the yamen has hardly changed.

Looking up from the outside, the yamen was similar to the yamen that Jiang Yuan had seen in another time and space.

As he approached the yamen, Jiang Yuan suddenly became vigilant and secretly looked at the people around him.

It's not that he's worried about the official errand, but he doesn't know that important people are gathering in the county government now, and he doesn't know if Zhuan Dian is also among them.

The identity that is put into this world, if it is a big person, it is fine, although the energy is great, but at least the goal is conspicuous. If it's an inconspicuous little person, it's really hard to figure it out.

As I entered the court, I soon saw the crowd gathered here.

Among these people, Jiang Yuan saw Wang Leopard of the Gale Gang, and even met Lin Muqing, who was particularly outstanding and beautiful in the crowd.

Lin Muqing also saw Jiang Yuan, and when she saw that Jiang Yuan was coming with Yan Zhennan, she couldn't help frowning.

She couldn't help but come to Jiang Yuan's side, pulled Jiang Yuan to the corner of the public hall and asked in a low voice:

"How did you get involved with that martial artist, that martial artist is the enemy of the Gale Gang, and the Gale Gang can't afford to mess with us!"

It seems that Lin Muqing is also clear about some of the major events that happened in the capital.

Jiang Yuan just opened his mouth to speak, but he heard an official shouting loudly:

"Silence! Lord Zhixian has arrived!"

With the official's voice, I saw an official wearing an official robe and a flower feather from the back hall striding out.

This official is about sixty years old, and although he is in good spirits, he inevitably shows his old age.

After he walked into the court, he first called Wang Bao and Yan Zhennan of the Gale Gang to him with a smile, and said:

"The official knows that the two of them have some grievances, but now that the city is in an eventful time, I wonder if the two of you can give the official a face and make peace?"

Wang Bao seemed to have known that Zhixian would make a conciliatory statement, and immediately smiled at Yan Zhennan and said:

"Master Yan, there was a little misunderstanding last night, you won't be like me, right?"

Yan Zhennanpi said with a smile:

"Deputy Gang Leader Wang, we don't know each other, where did the misunderstanding come from?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Bao and Yan Zhennan both burst out laughing.

Jiang Yuan didn't know what the specific situation of the conflict between the two last night was, he didn't know if the magistrate really intended to reconcile the two, or if he had other plans, and he didn't know if the two really planned to take a step back for the time being.

However, Jiang Yuan didn't care about these people, his eyes were still secretly looking at the people present, expecting to get clues about Zhudian from these people.

And after the magistrate continued to appease and mediate Yan Zhennan and Wang Bao for a while, he began to talk about business to the rest of the people.

I only heard that Zhixian was on the chair of the Taishi, and said to the hall:

"Everyone must know that the city has not been peaceful in the past two days. Four people had been killed the night before, including Mr. Johnson of the Foreign Company. And last night, 26 people were killed! Now the murderer has not yet been apprehended, and the people in the city are already panicking. The official summoned everyone here to discuss this matter. ”

Someone in the hall suddenly said:

"I don't know how the magistrate called us here to discuss? Can you open the city gate first, we still have to do business!"

Many people in the hall immediately chimed in: "Yes!

The magistrate was shocked and continued:

"Everyone, listen to what this official says! This official has made up his mind, and if he does not crack this case for a day, he will not open the city gate for a day! Now that the county government has a limited number of officials, there is no doubt that there is not enough manpower to crack this big case. Therefore, this official plans to gather everyone to contribute money and efforts to form a militia group, and the militia will assist the government in patrolling at night and arresting the murderers!"

When everyone heard that Zhixian had summoned himself and others, he actually wanted to contribute his own money and efforts to form a militia group. All of a sudden, there was a sudden noise in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

The magistrate couldn't help but pat the wood again, and after everyone was quiet, the magistrate asked Yan Zhennan:

"Master Yan, this official has heard that your martial arts are superb, and the Yan family fist is even more powerful. For this reason, this official wants to ask you to be the head of the militia group, I don't know what you think?"

Yan Zhennan frowned, he didn't expect the magistrate to call him here for this matter.

He was just about to speak, but the magistrate had already smiled and said:

"Master Yan is not in a hurry to answer, we can talk slowly later. ”

Yan Zhennan's eyes flickered, so he didn't speak again.

Hearing the words of the magistrate, Wang Bao's face became very ugly, and he stared at Yan Zhennan for a while.

The magistrate had already opened his mouth and asked Wang Bao:

"Deputy Gang Leader Wang, the Gale Gang members are brave, although your gang leader failed to invite him, but this official wants to ask Deputy Gang Leader Wang if he is willing to pay money and people to contribute to the safety of the side that comes to the capital?"

Wang Bao sneered and said:

"You officials want to organize a militia to catch the murderers, and we Gale Gang are happy to participate. But I can't make up my mind for the apprentices, so please ask them yourself!"

After saying that, Wang Bao turned around and left.

The Gale Gang who followed Wang Leopard only arched their hands at the magistrate, and then followed Wang Leopard one by one.

Zhixian's face couldn't help but be a little reluctant, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Jiang Yuan was also a little surprised to see this scene, the Gale Gang was far more arrogant than he imagined, and the government was weaker than he imagined.

Lin Muqing whispered to Jiang Yuan at this time:

"The Gale Gang has recently colluded with foreigners, so even the government can't do anything about them. The magistrate wants to form a militia group and invite Yan Zhennan, the opponent of the Gale Gang, to serve as the coach, I am afraid that he wants to fight against the growing Gale Gang. The competition between the two sides of them is not something that our Xu family can intervene in, you listen to me, don't mix with Yan Zhennan. ”

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at Lin Muqing twice, this woman had some insight.

But it's no wonder that if Lin Muqing can't protect the Xu family's family business by himself, he will definitely not be able to do it.

At this time, the magistrate had already sought the advice of the people in the hall to form a militia group.

A middle-aged man said:

"The magistrate is a blunt man. In fact, this is the next big game of chess! Everything has already been arranged, and many things have already been decided. The current murderer is just making a show, there must be a lot of inside stories in it, and you and I don't know any of these chess pieces. If we intervene, won't it get busier and more chaotic?"

Another wealthy businessman also said:

"Now that foreigners are the great enemies of the imperial court, then should the people below us fight the murderers or the foreigners? Isn't it a good thing that the murderers even dare to kill the foreigners?

Someone else said:

"Who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, how can we ordinary people tell the difference? Anyway, whoever wins the battle is a good person. ”

Others said:

"The ancients produced heroes in troubled times, whether they were murderers or heroes, then let history judge, and we have no ability to stop the development of history. ”

......

All of a sudden, there were all sorts of opinions, but no one was willing to contribute.

There was a lot of discussion, but instead of a result, many people said goodbye.

Lin Muqing shook his head and said:

"Everyone is a smart person, and they don't dare to meddle in the affairs of the militia so as not to offend the Gale Gang. What's more, is the murderer who killed last night really so easy to deal with? Last night, the government even used foreign guns, but still failed to catch a single suspect. Shaohua, let's go home too, don't worry about these things. ”

Jiang Yuan just said:

"Go home by yourself, I have my own opinions. ”

"You!" Lin Muqing couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that her husband didn't listen to her advice.

She snorted, and then said goodbye to the magistrate and left like everyone else.

In the end, in the public court, in addition to the magistrate, there were only Yan Zhennan, Jiang Yuan and Wu Ping.

Zhixian looked at the rest of the people and sighed helplessly, and then he left his chair and came to Yan Zhennan:

"Master Yan, have you thought about it? Now that you can't get out of the city, the official can not be held accountable for the desperate death and injury last night! But if the official is not here, the Gale Gang will inevitably trouble you......

Yan Zhennan frowned and said:

"Do you have to embarrass me and let me tie up with you?"

知县 says:

"This official asked you to be the coach of the militia group, not for this official, but for the people in the city!"

Yan Zhennan was still hesitating, but Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and said:

"Master, in my opinion, if you want to be famous in martial arts, you don't have to be in Guangzhou. If we succeed this time, Yan Jiaquan will definitely become famous! Everyone knows Master's reputation for being chivalrous and righteous, and when the time comes, he will be like a cloud! If Master goes to Guangzhou Province again, are you still afraid that others will not give Master face, and you are still afraid that you will not be able to gain a foothold?"

When the county commander heard this, he couldn't help but nod slightly towards Jiang Yuan gratefully.

Yan Zhennan gritted his teeth and said:

"It's up to you!"
