On the top of the mountain, the autumn wind brought a bit of coolness to the face.
Shi Zelan was meditating on the roof. The mountain seemed to suddenly become quiet, and a feeling of loneliness arose in her heart.
Shi Zelan immediately felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes, looked around, then went to the side of the mountain and looked down the mountain for a while.
After a while, her mood recovered and she sat on the roof again to meditate.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish.”
Shi Zelan opened her eyes and flew to the mountainside, just in time to see five or six people on the mountainside surrounding one person to assassinate him.
Shi Zelan was in an extremely unhappy mood and couldn't care too much. She stretched out her hand and the grass on the mountainside grew quietly.
When the grass grew long, it was easy for the five or six people to get caught in their ankles, and they had to take several steps back.
The man who was surrounded inside took advantage of the situation to find a way out and ran down the mountain.
Shi Zelan looked at the shoes on his feet, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, and moved his hand to the mountainside.
"This place is evil, why does this grass always trip my feet."
"This man has escaped, what should we do?"
"What else can we do?
We don’t want to go down the mountain anytime soon.”
“Go back. If you don’t go back, the boss will come up with more things.”
These five or six people wanted to go back, but Shi Zelan didn't want them to leave the mountainside so easily.
She just wanted to take a look at the spiritual planting technique she was practicing, and she reached that step again. Because she turned her hands, the grass on the mountainside suddenly became thicker.
"Ah, ah, ah, Grandpa Cao, please spare us, we won't dare next time."
The five or six people knelt down and kowtowed vigorously, and Shi Zelan was at this time I was almost at the end of my strength, so I stopped happily.
After the five people lay on the ground and waited for a long time, they saw that the grass no longer grew. They cried bitterly and helped each other to walk up the other side of the mountain.
They cried as they walked: "I really didn't want to kill someone last time. It was because he refused to let me go." , You have to live.”
“You don’t want your life. If you dare to say such things to the boss, the boss will still spare your life.”
“Yes. Don't kill us all."
Shi Zelan listened for a while and sighed, then returned to the roof to meditate. As for the grass on the mountainside, they were allowed to turn yellow naturally.
Wang Xuan ran all the way down the mountain without daring to look back. He ran until he reached the official road and then looked back at the way he came.
When he saw no one chasing him, he felt a little suspicious.
He stood by the official road for a while, finally felt a little uneasy and walked back.
Wang Xuan returned to the mountainside and saw no trace of the five or six people. He only saw what seemed to be a thick layer of grass on the mountainside.
He reached out and touched the grass, carefully checked a few more marks, and then ran down the mountain.
When Wang Xuan chased those people into the mountain, he had some suspicions in his mind, and he accidentally stepped on something.
When he and the five or six people were facing each other with swords, he felt a little regretful in his heart, thinking that he might not go back alive this time.
He did not expect that he could find a way out. At this moment, he thought about the two cars of gangsters that suddenly appeared at the city gate
Shi Zelan saw the man appearing on the mountainside again and saw him After looking around for a while, he quickly ran down the mountain.
Wang Xuan returned to the official road and found his horse. He was riding on the horse, still thinking about what happened that day.
The magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture had gone home to rest, but an aide came over to inform him of the news.
He immediately moved from the backyard to the front yard and met Wang Xuan in the study. After hearing what Wang Xuan said, he clenched his fists.
"Check, we must find out the truth."
"Sir, of the six people I fought with, five of them must be Lianjiazi, and the other is unidentified." The prefect immediately said Knowing that this matter was not easy, he ordered Wang Xuan: "Keep it a secret first, and this matter must be investigated secretly."
After Wang Xuan nodded and retreated, the prefect asked his staff: "How true is what he said?"
"At least 90% true."
The prefect sighed: "Yangzhou Prefecture It’s really not easy to be the prefect.”
“Sir, you are a good official, so naturally everything will be more difficult.”
The prefect glanced at the staff: “Don’t accept anything in private. It’s something human, otherwise I won’t be able to save you in the end.”
"Master, I really didn't receive anything gold or silver, only a few calligraphy and paintings."
The prefect looked at him deeply: "You are old, and it is bitterly cold here. You are responsible for the affairs in your hands." Leave it to Lao Wang.”
“Master, please listen to my explanation.”
The magistrate waved his hands and walked to the backyard. He knew that the old staff was smooth and considerate, and he was a little greedy in private. .
But Yangzhou Mansion has been unstable recently, and he can no longer keep such a person by his side.
There was an old staff member missing from the magistrate's backyard. Only people in the officialdom mentioned it a few words, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
But in a courtyard of Yangzhou Prefecture, someone smashed a treasure vase after hearing the news.
"Sir, it hasn't been long since that man set out. Are we planning to stop him?"
"Go away, you are so stupid.
This magistrate has always had You have a good reputation for treating your subordinates well. Do you think there is no one protecting the old staff in the dark? ”
"Master, our people can't contact the king's staff."
"The finishing work should be done cleanly. If someone smells it and finds out something, we will all die."
"Master, we have always been careful."
"Careful?
Haha, the officers and soldiers went to the mountain over there several times, and they even confronted the officers and soldiers directly It’s a long way to go.”
There was gradually no sound in the courtyard, and the candles in the room were extinguished. Several figures flashed past the courtyard wall.
What happened to Yangzhou Prefecture was no longer the concern of Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu. They ran to the nearest government office in Yangzhou Prefecture.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu separated, they entered a big city in the south.
After he checked into the inn, he looked for an opportunity to inquire about the official reputation of the officials in charge.
People in the city naturally said that the prefect had a clear and fair official reputation and that he was a promising official.
At night, Shi Xiaoliu changed his clothes and went into the pub to drink.
The drunk man was lying on the dining table and was patted again and again by the waiter in disgust: "Sir, has someone from your family taken you home?"
"If you don't come back, I won't. Return."
Shi Xiaoliu passed by the drunk man and the owner of the tavern bought a bottle of wine.
“Master, your wine is authentic.”
The boss glanced at Shi Xiaoliu a few times: "Are you a foreigner?"
Shi Xiaoliu said with a blushing face: "My family said that when you come to a city, you have to go to the local tavern to have a glass of wine and taste it. The world is full of things."
"Master, is our little boy guarding Jiu Lie outside?"
"No, I didn't bring him with me. They came out to learn something.”(End of Chapter)
