If you ask the common people who are most afraid of them? In addition to robbers and bandits, of course, it is none other than officers and soldiers.

Seeing officers and soldiers with big knives in their hands coming over, the crowd that had been tightly gathered just now immediately retreated several feet away, as if they were afraid of provoking a fire and burning themselves.

After the officers and soldiers surrounded Yue Fan and the others, a middle-aged man in a cyan seven-grade official uniform slowly walked out of the army, this person squinted his eyes with a smile on his face, and quietly observed the surrounding crowd before walking over to Cai Enke and the others.

"Hahaha-"

After Cai Enke saw these officers and soldiers, he was no longer as obscene as he was just now, his whole body was refreshed, and he swaggered forward and said: "Hu Dushi, you came just in time, there is a Diao people here, not to mention teasing the people and girls on the street, and also injured my subordinates, even Zhao Tianhua and Brother Zhao's friends were also injured by him, and asked Hu Dushi to take down this Diao Min, take it back and ask carefully, maybe where did the bandits and robbers come from." ”

Hu Xianhai is the governor of the Yamen Prefecture in Ningxian County, holding the soldiers of a city, and has been an official in Ningxian for three or four years. I am very familiar with the situation here, and of course I know what to do and what not to do.

Hu Xianhai's ability to become the capital of this positive seven grades all depends on the promotion of Lord Luo, the governor of Liangguang, so when he first heard that Cai Enke had suffered a loss, he was happy and surprised. I am glad that the opportunity to perform has come, and I am surprised that if something happens to Young Master Cai here, then my little life will be over.

Anxious, Hu Xianhai didn't care about anything else, and immediately gathered the main forces of the whole city to help.

When he saw that Cai Enke was unharmed, Hu Xianhai let go of his heart, and when he heard that Zhao Tianhua was also there, his heart lit up, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "I am relieved to see that Young Master Cai is okay and humble." Then he smiled at Zhao Tianhua and said: "I didn't expect the second son to be here, and I didn't do my best to be a landlord when I came to Ning County, so please don't be surprised." ”

Zhao Tianhua saw that the other party was also an interesting person, so naturally he didn't really blame him, so he said nonchalantly: "Hu Dushi is a busy person, this is the New Year, the security of the whole city still depends on you, and I am embarrassed to disturb it." The voice changed: "But I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing when I just arrived in the city today, which makes me wonder about the security of the city!

Hearing Zhao Tianhua so upside down black and white, Yue Fan felt a chill, and in a hurry, a mouthful of blood spit out again, but no one cared.

Hu Xianhai listened to Zhao Tianhua's words, and was a little happy at first, but the more he listened to it, the more dry his heart became, and cold sweat broke out. If Hu Xianhai is afraid of the Cai family, then he is definitely afraid of the Zhao family. After all, compared with the Zhao family, the Cai family is not a high-grade family. Therefore, Hu Xianhai immediately said: "It is a dereliction of duty for the subordinate to frighten Young Master Cai and the second son, and the subordinate will deal with this matter immediately." The tone must be powerful, and Zhao Tianhua also nodded with satisfaction.

Hu Xianhai turned around and shouted: "Come on! This Diao people on the ground disturb the public order in Chengli, molest the people's daughters, beat the good people, take him down, and press him back to the yamen to await trial." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

A group of officers and soldiers immediately took action, rushed forward and put the knife on Yue Fan's neck: "Handcuff it."

Yue Fan's face was pale, and he naturally couldn't resist! Just now he fought against Ying Qi, he had been injured by his internal strength, his internal organs were in chaos, and many meridians were torn apart, especially the meridians of his right hand were almost broken, if it weren't for the protection of the red vitality, he might have been wasted, this was the first time he had been so seriously injured, it was even more serious than the last time, and he was secretly bitter in his heart: "I still hold ...... big."

These officers and soldiers were obviously very experienced, and they quickly took out two arm-thick cold iron chains, handcuffed Yue Fan's hands and feet, and then pulled him up and carried him up. This cold iron chain was made by the imperial court with a lot of energy, specially used to deal with some masters on the rivers and lakes, even if it is a congenital master, it is not easy to break, which shows the strength of this chain.

After handcuffing Yue Fan, Hu Xianhai looked at the father and daughter who were performing on the side and said, "Take the two of them back to testify." Then he turned to Cai Enke and said with a grin: "Young Master Cai, please let you and the second son go with me to testify, and let everyone know that we are handling it impartially." ”

Zhao Tianhua waved his hand and said: "My friend is injured, I want to take him to be treated, and I still have important things, so you can just write down my words." ”

Hu Xianhai couldn't, so he had to nod yes.

So a group of officers and soldiers pressed Yue Fan and the entertainer father and daughter to leave.

......

―――――――――――― the Linglong Pavilion show building, Wang Song leisurely made it on the chair.

"Ying Qi, what do you think of that kid's kung fu just now?"

Ying Qi stood aside and said respectfully: "I'm sure that kid doesn't have any internal strength, he can fight with me for so long without the support of internal force, and even make me suffer, I have never seen such a foundation and comprehension ability, he is definitely a martial arts wonder, and he is expected to become a generation of grandmasters." But his final blow didn't make sense to me. ”

"Oh?!, can't figure anything out?"

"The last punch not only hurt me internally, but my right foot is now paralyzed, and ......"

"Didn't you say that he didn't know how to have internal strength, how could you be injured internally? And what?" Wang Song asked with a little surprise.

Ying Qi smiled bitterly: "Practicing external skills to a certain level can also cause internal injuries, which is understandable, but the blow just now actually made me feel a moment of joy, and I will still have joy when I am injured, it is really strange, it may also be an illusion!"

Wang Song didn't care, and said with a smile: "Of course it's an illusion, how can you feel happy when you are injured, it may be that you haven't met a master at one stop for a long time, so you will feel this way." However, he can chain the external power to such a realm, he is indeed a genius, and if he can cultivate it well, it will be a great help. It's a pity that he offended Zhao Tianhua, and it's inconvenient for me to ask for someone. Come to think of it, Zhao Tianhua will not let him go. ”

Ying Qi said respectfully: "What the master said is right. With Zhao Tianhua's measurement, it is definitely a must-pay. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Wang Song rubbed his forehead, no one knew what was going on in his heart.

......

"Eagle Seven, you're not hurt, are you?"

After Zhao Tianhua sent Cai Enke and Hu Xianhai, he rushed over, with a look of concern on his face.

"It's fine. ”

Ying Qi is lukewarm, but he is very disdainful of these second ancestors in his heart.

Zhao Tianhua wanted to say something, but then Wang Song interrupted: "I saw everything just now, Brother Zhao didn't say much, let's do the right thing first." ”

With that, get up and leave.

......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in ――――――――――――, the Yamen of Ningxian County is now crowded, whether it is to see the excitement, curiosity, or want to know what the result is, they all stand here.

In the hall of the yamen, the officials on both sides kept knocking on the wooden sticks and shouting: "Mighty ......", the prefect sat in the lobby, while Hu Xianhai and Cai Enke and others sat aside, Yue Fan was taken to the hall, and the father and daughter who were performing arts stood aside.

"Smack!" There was a startling sound, and the entire lobby became quiet. Then the prefect shouted: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?"

Yue Fan has recovered after a period of cultivation, but the meridian injury requires a period of recuperation. Seeing the prefect's question, he said: "Li Yuefan, a grass citizen, why do you kneel if you don't know what you have committed and what you have sinned?"

"Smack!" As soon as the words were finished, the prefect clapped the alarm and said: "The official will find out whether there is a crime or not, but if there is no official in your court, you should be punished." Someone, give me a heavy 20-big board. As he spoke, he threw down the two warrants.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two officials stepped forward to suppress Yue Fan, but no matter how hard they tried, they just moved him still, let alone pressed him to the ground.

The prefect is also a person who has seen the world, and when he saw this situation, he knew that Yue Fan was a practitioner, but if he didn't fight, he would damage his prestige, so he said angrily: "Just stand and beat me, and add twenty more boards." As he spoke, he threw two more orders and signed them.

"Bang, bang, bang, ......"

These boards hit his body heavily, Yue Fan didn't feel a little uncomfortable, he looked at the prefect and the others coldly, and thought quickly in his mind: "This time it may be more auspicious, if you resist, you will definitely be wanted, and then my father, Grandpa Wan and Xiaoya will have to live a life of running around, I can't affect them." After weighing it, Yue Fan finally decided not to resist.

......

After forty boards, the prefect saw that Yue Fan had nothing to do after suffering so many boards, and knew that it would not be useful to fight again, so he didn't pursue it and let him stand.

The prefect said loudly: "Li Yuefan, if someone accuses you of disturbing the peace of Chengli, molesting the people's daughters, and beating the good people, you can plead guilty." ”

Yue Fan said coldly: "I haven't done it. ”

The prefect said: "I dare to deny it, the son of the Cai family can testify on this matter." Then he turned to Cai Enke and said, "Cai Gongzi, please also briefly describe the situation at that time." ”

Cai Enke coughed twice and adjusted his throat, and said with a serious face: "Alas... Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went out for a walk, and I saw a performer on East Street, ready to go up to see the excitement, but who knew that this kid saw the beauty of the girl who was selling art, so he stepped forward to foul language, and also used his hands and feet. I really couldn't see it, so I stepped forward to stop it, but instead of listening to the persuasion, he also wanted to beat me, and my men were all knocked to the ground in order to protect me, and they have not recovered until now, which is really unreasonable. ”

The more he talked, the more miserable he became, as if he was the most unfortunate person, and then said: "Later, Brother Zhao passed by and saw him so deceitful, so he asked his friend to help, but who knew that this person was very fierce and actually injured Brother Zhao's friend." ”

The prefect cooperated: "Oh?!What you said is the truth?"

Cai Enke immediately said: "It's true, Brother Zhao has now taken his friend to be treated, and my subordinates are still lying in the medical hall, they can all testify, and ask the adults to call the shots." ”

The prefect said: "Well, since that's the case......"

"Wait!" Yue Fan suddenly interrupted the prefect's words and said, "Why do you only listen to his one-sided words?"

The prefect said angrily: "This official doesn't need you to talk more about the case. ”

"I just wondered. ”

"And what do you want?"

"This father and daughter are the parties, why don't you ask them?"

The prefect snorted coldly and said, "Since this is the case, then I will ask these two parties." Turning to the entertainer: "What are the names of your father and daughter, and why are you here?"

Hearing the prefect's question, the middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Caomin Huai'an personnel, named Zhang Chuan, this is my daughter's name Zhang Jing, passing by Guixian, wanting to sell art to earn some money and go home for the New Year." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a guest from out of town. The official asked you, is what this Cai Gongzi just said the truth, did Li Yuefan tease your daughter!" the prefect asked.

Zhang Chuandao affirmed: "What Cai Gongzi said is the truth, this Li Yuefan really wants to tease my daughter." ”

Hearing Zhang Chuan's answer, the prefect nodded with satisfaction and said to Yue Fan: "Li Yuefan, can you hear the witness's answer." ”

Zhang Chuan's words made Yue Fan's heart startled, and then he felt very angry, but this kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, and he didn't pay attention to him, but asked Zhang Jing, who was standing quietly aside, "That girl also thinks that what he said is true, am I molesting you?"

Zhang Jing's body was shocked when she heard the question, and she couldn't help but think of Hu Xianhai's words on the road, looked at her father's eyes, and then looked at Li Yuefan, who had white hair, and then lowered her head and said softly: "Yes." ”

"Hahahaha-"

Yue Fan laughed angrily, and his laughter was full of helplessness and hatred for the world, as well as indescribable irony.

Then he turned to the group of people outside the door and asked loudly: "You also saw the whole process at that time, are you going to tell me, did I tease her?" After finishing speaking, he pointed at Zhang Jing.

For a while, the crowd outside the yamen quieted down, you look at me, I look at you, and the people who were looking at Yue Fan all turned their faces, as if they were ashamed.

"Do any of you dare to stand up and say a fair word?!" Yue Fan roared angrily.

......

After a while, the prefect was furious when he saw Yue Fan's arrogant behavior, and he was shocked by the sound of "Bang!" and reprimanded: "Bold Li Yuefan, you dare to roar in the court, and you still want to intimidate witnesses and the people, it is simply a king's law." Come on, press him to the ground for me, and beat him with forty boards. After saying that, he threw out four order signs.

After receiving the order, the six strong officials immediately surrounded him, trying to press Yue Fan to the ground, but although Yue Fan's body was relatively weak, his strength was not comparable to these people, and the six officials held their hands, feet, waists and necks, but they didn't care how to pull but didn't move.

Seeing this, the prefect said loudly: "Why are you still stunned, give it all to me." So four more servants came up and rushed towards Yue Fan.

"Drink!"

Yue Fan shouted, and his whole body suddenly shook.

"Bang!bang!bang......"

All ten officials fell to the ground and cried out incessantly.

Looking up at the flat forehead above the public court, the words "Mirror hanging", Yue Fan muttered: "Mirror hanging...... Mirror hangs high ...... Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom. The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court. When the poor festival is seen, one by one, the danqing ......"

Then he said coldly to the prefect and others in the high hall: "Heaven and earth are upright, and they will last forever." I want to be calm and let the wind go wild, but the wind disturbs my heart. The cold eyes and resentful tone frightened their bodies to shrink;

Yue Fan looked at the father and daughter next to him again, both of them turned their faces away, and finally turned to the person outside the door: "You can't deceive yourself, but you can't deceive heaven and earth." Hmph!"

Everyone flashed their eyes in shame, but they still didn't say a word.

"Drink—"

Yue Fan was angry in his heart, and his white hair stood up, looking crazy and flamboyant. Recalling the loneliness and humiliation since childhood, the persistence in my heart, the inexhaustible grievances, and the patience over the years, all burst out at this moment, and the purple vitality in the body swam rapidly, quickly recovering the meridians of the whole body. "Anger" is the most direct manifestation of his current mood.

"Ding, ding!"

With a crisp sound, the cold iron chains in his hands and feet were torn into two by Yue Fan. Turning to look at Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing's white-haired expression frightened Zhang Jing on the spot.

"Smack!"

Yue Fan suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhang Jing's face hard: "You and I have no grudges and no hatred, but you are framed by me, no matter what reason you have, this slap is what you owe me, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future." ”

The slap just now was very heavy, and the corners of Zhang Jing's mouth flowed out, but the pain was far from curing the guilt, so she still lowered her head without saying a word, and her mind was blank. Zhang Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms to comfort her. Then he glared at Yue Fan angrily and said, "Why are you beating my daughter." ”

Yue Fan didn't pay attention to it, and slowly walked towards the high hall, and when the prefect saw this, he hurriedly said: "Stop him, stop him!" As soon as the words fell, the surrounding officials all came up with wooden staffs.

Although the cold iron chain was very heavy, it was nothing to Yue Fan, and he had long been immune to this weight after years of weight-bearing practice, so his hand shook.

"Bang!bang!bang......"

The officials who came up were instantly knocked to the ground, and their mouths kept screaming in pain, so frightened that the other officials hid backwards and did not dare to take a step forward.

"You...... What are you going to do? This is the Yamen. ”

Seeing Yue Fan getting closer and closer, the prefect was suddenly shocked in his heart.

When Cai Enke saw Yue Fan's fierce expression, he was even more frightened and hurriedly jumped up, hid behind Hu Xianhai and said, "Stop him, stop him!"

Hu Xianhai, who reflected it, hurriedly pulled out his saber and blocked it in front of his chest, his heart was so nervous, and he secretly regretted it: "I didn't expect this kid to be so fierce, I knew that I would have brought all the masters." After straightening his mind, he said to Yue Fan: "Li Yuefan, stop quickly, do you know that you are making such a big fuss in court, but it is a big crime, if you hurt the court officials, it is a capital crime, and then not only you, but even the people related to you will be arrested and put in prison." ”

Hearing Hu Xianhai's words, Yue Fan was stunned: "People related to me...... Father, Grandpa Wan, Ya'er, Grandpa Su...... I can't bother them!"

Hu Xianhai saw that what he said had an effect, and he suddenly had confidence in his heart, and continued: "If you bow your head and confess your guilt now, it is just a minor crime, and you can serve in the army for a few years at most, and if you behave well, you can come back early to reunite with your family." But if you make such a fuss in court, it will be a big crime, even if you are good enough to escape, but what will happen to your relatives, do you want them to flee around with the wanted people? Think about it!"

Yue Fan closed his eyes and was silent, and the public hall became quiet for a while, and the prefect and the others did not dare to speak.

Touching the small stone on his neck, Yue Fan opened his eyes and said firmly: "Okay, I confess my guilt, everything is done by me alone, what do you say you will do?"

Hu Xianhai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since you confess your guilt, then press into the prison first, and wait for the punishment department to make a decision." ”

Then he said to the officials: "Come on, first press Li Yuefan like a big prison waiting for trial." ”

After seeing that the situation was stable, the prefect came out and said, "In that case, I announce my retirement." ”

......

In the back hall of the yamen, Cai Enke said angrily: "Hu Dushi, how can you just be so cheap that kid, even if you don't kill him, you have to get him, I want everyone to know that offending me Cai Enke will not end well, and he is still a person that Zhao Ergongzi hates." ”

Hu Xianhai hurriedly explained with a smile: "Young Master Cai, don't worry, of course I know what to do, just now it was just a good plan, I have already thought about it, trick that kid into going to the army first, and then I will say hello to the officials on the front line and send him to the 'death camp', so that you think you can dissipate your anger." ”

When Cai Enke heard the words 'death camp', his eyes lit up, and then he broke out in a cold sweat, and then laughed: "Okay, I don't worry about Hu Du's affairs, if you really send him there, it will be much more fun than killing him directly!" Haha......" Hu Xianhai also laughed.

In a remote inn in ―――――――――――― Ning County, Zhang Chuan seemed to be a different person, without the cowering expression in the public court, his eyes were sharp, and his breath was calm, so that people could know at a glance that he was a martial arts master, and it must not be simple to be able to hide it so well. Leaning back in the chair, he said with emotion: "Xiao Jing, you have to understand that this time our operation is very important, if anything goes wrong, you and I can't afford it." ”

Zhang Jing said: "I also know that our mission is very important, but because of this, we have to sacrifice innocent people, and he is still a white-haired teenager." ”

Zhang Chuan said unhappily: "Don't be emotional, we are like an acrobatic troupe this time, secretly entering Ningxian City, and our identities cannot be exposed, otherwise we will waste our previous efforts." But people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect to meet the young master of the Cai family, and they were still entangled.

This Ning County is very complicated, and we don't want it to be as simple as it seems, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so mixed into the city. If we don't do what they say in court, they will come to us and our identities will be exposed, so we can't be angry, and it's worth sacrificing some people once in a while......"

"Sacrifice others? but ......"

Zhang Jing wanted to say more, but Zhang Chuan interrupted: "Okay, I know what to do, and we will find a way to rescue the young man after this is over." Don't talk about the rest, rest early, start acting tomorrow, as long as you can get the treasure map of the Zhao family and the secret letter of the King of Song, it will be a great credit, and I will recommend you to the emperor to join Longwei at that time, so that your father Quanxia will also feel gratified. ”

......

The prison of the Yamen in ―――――――――――― County was very narrow, dark and damp, and there were bursts of musty smell from time to time.

Walking through the cells, Yue Fan was surprised to find that there was no one here, could it be that the security here is really good, and he wondered for a while.

After passing through a narrow path, the jailer took him to the innermost iron prison, which was usually a place for important prisoners, so it was all made of fine iron, and he did not want to cut it without a sharp weapon, and he did not think that he would also enjoy this treatment.

After being pushed forward by the jailers, Yue Fan began to carefully observe his surroundings. It was obviously much better than the cells outside, and although it was cramped and shabby, at least the weeds here were dry and there was no musty smell, which was obviously not like letting an important prisoner get sick and die in prison.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone coming. ”

Suddenly, an old, hoarse voice came from the next cell.

......

――――――――――――
