"Haha, isn't that me. With that actual combat experience, I dare to make some efforts to the yamen today. Tao Ziyun chatted with the county magistrate lightly.

"But this time you have a holiday with the subject, you have to put on the costume of the servant, and you can go. The county magistrate conditionally agreed to Tao Ziyun's request.

"I can't ask for this, what about the clothes?" Tao Ziyun saw that the progress of the matter was still in his expectations, and immediately jumped to try.

The county magistrate waved his hand to one of the officials in the hall: "Go, bring over the clothes of those officials who often don't come to duty because of stomach aches, and let Tao Gongzi wear them to run errands." ”

In this way, Tao Ziyun, who was wearing the clothes of the officials, also wore a big knife on his waist, and followed the four officials to each ride a horse to Xixiao'er's house.

"Tao Gongzi, Xijiazhuang has arrived. The official in front pointed to the village on the other side of the stream.

"I don't know where Xi'er's family lives, I only heard that the name of the village where he lives is this 'Xijiazhuang', and his house is called 'Xizhai'. A few officials must know about it, so let's find it together. "Tao Ziyun listened to what my lord said from the Inspection Department, he didn't tell him, and he didn't know at all.

"When do we know, ask for directions? One of the officials said this, and several others also shook their heads at Tao Ziyun.

The whole village faces north and south, and a stream surrounds the left, front and right sides of the village.

Tao Ziyun patted the horse and walked in front, asking the people at the edge of the village about the location of the house. In fact, the house is not far from the east of the village, I heard those people say that the old man of the family went to the gate a few years ago, rescued a senior general, and gave his family a lot of gold and silver tickets in return, so he took his wife and children back to his hometown. He bought a lot of good land and built a new house in the river at the east end of the village.

"Almost, go ahead. "The official who took the lead greeted Tao Ziyun, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and arrived at the gate of the 'washing house' with a light drink, the door of the washing house was wide open, and a servant sat by the door and dozed off, and the official took Tao Ziyun into the front yard of the washing house without saying a word.

Hearing this, the servant inside came out, holding a sword in his hand and asking, "It's not like this that the official messenger bullies people, is it?

The leading official shook the official document in front of him: "Tell your young master to wash the children and come out, and if you have anything to argue, go to the county government to say!"

"They're on horseback. Brothers, spear formation!" With a shout, the group of servants with swords retreated to the periphery, and more than a dozen spearmen rushed over.

"Hehe! There are a lot of nurses in the house!" Tao Ziyun and the horses of the four servants formed a small circle with their heads facing outward, and the dozen or so servants who washed the house surrounded them in a large encirclement, shaking their spears, and stabbed at him in unison!

Tao Ziyun and the officials used their broadswords to block the spears in front of them, only to see that the officials were already shocked and angry, and the leading officials scolded: "Which general did your family save!? Indulge you in such presumptuousness! When you go back, you will definitely ask the master to write a letter to impeach him! Look who else you are looking for to be the backstage!"

The opponents did not answer. The spear stabbed again, and Tao Ziyun flew up, using both swords in both hands, and flew around after a circle. The spearheads of more than a dozen spears were all cut to the ground!

Tao Ziyun sat on his horseback, let out a long howl, and rushed out of the long stick formation alone. Four officials are more than enough to deal with a stick without a spearhead.

He was by the fire that day, after the fire. Comprehending the immortal skill of using the immortal art on the "Book of Music" to quench the sword again, he refined the sword he had snatched into a sharp sword, and cut the swords of the servants who washed the children into rows of sharp needle-like edges. So that the servant who washed the child cut him out of the eye of a needle all over his body by mistake.

He saw that there was a pool on the side of a small rockery in this courtyard, and he immediately wanted to use this trick again, he used the immortal skill, and sent two streams of heat to the sword in his hand that made the sword body red, and the handle and hilt of the sword he held in both hands were still lukewarm. He walked to the edge of the pool, and submerged his sword and sword in the water, and the water "snorted-snorted," and a powerful white vapor rose from the water!

The group of servants with swords in their hands saw that the spears were no longer lethal to the officials, and they surrounded the servants at the beckoning of the servants' leader.

Tao Ziyun let out a long roar, jumped onto the head of the servants who raised their swords to kill the officials, and slashed wildly, and the swords in the hands of the servants, from the sword body to the hilt, were all covered with jagged gaps!

"What do you have to do with that person!? You can do this trick too!" Some of the servants in the mess asked in horror about Tao Ziyun's origin, because Tao Ziyun was wearing a servant costume today, and no one recognized him.

"You don't have to ask who he is! If you know him, you should surrender your weapons! Otherwise, you will be charged with a capital crime of rebellion!" The leading official pointed his big knife at the dozens of servants in the courtyard and shouted majestically: "Hurry up and bring a carriage to load weapons!"

The servants saw that the broken spears and swords in their hands were completely devoid of sharpness, so someone went to a carriage, and the servants stuffed the mutilated swords, spearheads, and spear shafts into the carriage.

Then a servant came in with an old man, panting and waving his hands, and said, "My son and his subordinates have always been negligent in disciplining me, and it is my fault that I have caused trouble!

"If you say spare him, he will spare him!? If you spare him, more disasters will come out!" The leading official took out the official document again and shook it, "We are here to bring him to the court! He dares to send people to besiege us, don't talk nonsense, tell your son to come out, get into this carriage and go to the county yamen!"

"Alas, I'm going to run with you! You go and help the young master out!" the old man instructed the servants in a frustrated manner.

I accused Tao Ziyun of being a thief to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate asked me to transfer to the inspection department to sue him. It's really a snake in the cave, a thief outside the cave. Tao Ziyun, that thief, is as vicious as a strange snake in the wilderness of Yongzhou! On the contrary, he sued me first!" Xi Xiao'er, with the support of the servants, rushed to the carriage with his old son, and followed the officials to the county yamen.

In the hall of the county government, Tao Ziyun changed back into his original clothes, stood aside and listened to the trial of the county officials.

"Wash the child, Tao Ziyun accused you of robbing the people's daughters, sabotaging production, harassing education, etc., are you guilty?" the county magistrate asked the child sternly.

"My lord has wronged! I had a fight with the girls, but I damaged their vegetables, and none of the girls grabbed them! I went to their school to compete with them again, but that Tao Ziyun attacked me with a magical weapon! Just like the lady in charge of the palace pricked the palace maid with a needle, and made me have a needle! As far as I know, he must have stolen the needle in the palace and hurt me! I have already accused him of being a thief to the inspection department. Your Excellency!" said Xi'er, in a hoarse voice, defending himself.

"Well, according to what you said, your defense just now proves that you have indeed robbed people's girls, sabotaged production, and harassed education. As for your statement that Tao Ziyun stole the needles of the palace, do you have any evidence?" the county magistrate shrewdly interrogated Xi'er.

After listening to the conclusion made by the county magistrate, the old man kowtowed his head in the lobby again and again: "My lord, forgive my child! His mistakes are all the fault of my improper discipline, and all the guilt will be borne by me alone!"

"You can't take responsibility for him, don't make a noise around, or you will be thrown out of the church. The county magistrate warned the old man, and then asked Xixiao'er: "Xixiao'er, you haven't answered my question yet: you said that Tao Ziyun stole the needle of the palace, what evidence do you have?"

"His tricks are peculiar! I don't see exactly how he uses the long needle! We lost the battle, so we didn't seize the needle he used as a weapon!"

"It's really a scoundrel!" Tao Ziyun shouted angrily at Xi Xiao'er, turned to the county magistrate and said: "Xi Xiao'er has no evidence, but I have evidence, that is, in the fight with them, I cut their swords from the blade to the hilt of the sword, and cut them into serrations like needles, and his servants who killed innocents indiscriminately used those sawtooth swords to cut so many needles and holes on him. The swords that captured them were in the wagon, and they were all serrated swords like that, and the adults could inspect them in court. ”

"It is true, my lord, that when we went to bring him to the church to-day, his servants attacked us with those serrated swords and spears. The four officials who went to work with Tao Ziyun just now immediately came forward to testify for Tao Ziyun.

"Go and bring in the weapons that you have taken. The county magistrate explained to the officials.

The officials worked together to bring the sawtooth swords and spearheads and spear shafts to the hall, and placed a serrated sword on the official case so that the county magistrate could examine it carefully, and they also took the opportunity to tell the magistrate how he was besieged by his servants when he went to the church to pass through the church.

"Well, the facts of the case are clear, Xixiao'er did rob the people's daughter, sabotage production, and disturb education, although he didn't rob the girl, it was because he was stopped by Tao Ziyun, who upholds justice. Xi Xiao'er was injured by his servant with a serrated sword, and accusing Tao Ziyun of stealing the palace's needle is a false accusation. In addition, if an official connivs at a servant to besiege an official when he goes to be arraigned, he is guilty of treason, and if he later surrenders his weapon and surrenders, he should also be sentenced to the crime of attempted rebellion. The punishment for several crimes should be condemned to death! "The county magistrate coldly pronounced the sentence. (To be continued......)
