Chapter 131: Find someone to save your life

After waiting for the old man to hide, Li Xun thought of what Zhang Xiaobao said, and immediately followed Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the children from the three villages to play in the straw passage, showing his head from time to time to play hide-and-seek with others.

County Magistrate Jia and others were able to see Zhangjiazhuang now. At this time, they could no longer maintain their original stability and started running, preparing to catch the people of the Zhang family first, but when they arrived at the main courtyard of the Zhang family, they found that there was no one and the door was open.

"No, they may have run away, chase him." The first thing that came to mind was this. He called someone and ran towards the small bridge. They came from another direction and happened to pass by Zhangjiazhuang first.

These people did not delay and chased them down. When they reached the main courtyard of the Wang family, they found that the same was true here. Now they were unsure and had to continue chasing them, waiting for a while to chase them for a while. They saw many people building houses there and little kids playing in the fields from afar. They finally felt relieved.

"It seems that what are they doing? Fifty people are split up to catch those little kids. Maybe the little ancestors of the Zhang and Wang family are there, and the others will fight with me."

County Magistrate Wen had a horse, shouted, slowly urging the horse, asking others to rush around him.

The old man who didn't know what happened just now understood. Seeing the person rushing over wearing the clothes of a yamen runner and two wearing the clothes of a county magistrate, the first idea was that these people were going to rebel, and Li Xun found out in advance and was ambushed.

Seeing this situation, he had to retreat, next to it was the guards and yamen runners covered by wooden boards.

The people on County Magistrate Jia were not sure about the situation and just wanted to catch the person quickly. The first one to go to the place were the fifty people who caught children. Fifty people rushed over and kicked the children when they saw them, or threw them into a pile with their hands.

As soon as they started, a piece of crossbow arrows flew out of the other haystacks around them. This was not the yamen runners. The yamen runners were not equipped with such things, they were all Li Xun's guards. They hadn't wanted to use crossbows yet, but they just prepared for it. Unexpectedly, these people came to do it, so they naturally couldn't be polite.

The fifty people were not prepared at all, and they were shot at about thirty people on the spot. The remaining people were scared for a moment. Looking at the hundreds of people around, they did not dare to move. Li Xun's guard rushed over immediately, first hitting, and then tied up.

As soon as the shouts sounded here, County Magistrate Wen and others felt something was wrong. They turned their heads and saw three or four hundred people surrounding them, and their hearts became tight at the same time, especially those holding crossbows in their hands, which made them even more scared.

"No, withdraw quickly." Seeing this, County Magistrate Wen's first thought was to run away, shouting and pulling the reins.

At this time, the wooden boards fell down at the same time. When the people behind saw that Tianaka had already used a crossbow, they were worried that Xiao Hou would not be polite. They shot with a crossbow, and shot a crossbow arrow, pulled out the knife and rushed. The yamen runners were stunned. They had agreed to scare him once, so why did they get started?

The yamen runners didn't know what to do for a moment. When the old man saw the guards he brought, he looked over and pointed his hand at the other side, "Run, if there is any resistance, kill them."

County Magistrate Wen was shot off his horse on the spot. The crossbow arrow did not hit his vital point. He lay on the ground and shouted loudly: "Don't do it, I am the County Magistrate of Huayuan County."

The yamen runners he brought and those who made up the numbers were also confused. He had never seen such a formation. He first shot a crossbow and then rushed over. He saw that the clothes were not good. He also used a knife and the same gaze and movement as the trap. Such people were not something they could resist.

At the beginning, someone threw away his weapons and ran around. The yamen runners and guards on the other side of the field also surrounded him and blocked the back and side roads. On the front was a bunch of Li Xun's guards, and on the other side were the other three hundred yamen runners. Anyone who had weapons in his hands or wanted to escape, they would be chopped over immediately.

Li Xun's guard who surrounded the field had already put the crossbow arrow onto the crossbow again, preparing for another round of shooting.

"Stop, the people from Huayuan County have thrown away all the weapons." County Magistrate Wen now wants to die. He found that the person who threw down the weapons would not be killed, and shouted loudly.

The people he brought heard his voice, threw it to his weapon, and stood there with a look of horror.

County Magistrate Jia had a good idea, but he was not shot by an arrow. He looked at the people around him with a dull look and didn't know what he was thinking.

He only reacted when he was pressed down and tied up by someone and shouted loudly: "Zhang Yongcheng, you actually took this action to support the army privately and kill the imperial officials. You can wait for the family to be raided and exterminate the clan."

As soon as he finished shouting this, someone kicked his head. County Magistrate Jia thought these people were raised by Zhang Yongcheng, and he was both afraid and hated. He turned his head to see who kicked them. He happened to see an old man walking over there. He was suddenly stunned and asked tentatively: "You, are you Lord Shangshu?"

"Well, you are Jia Shan. I saw you when the emperor personally ordered the county magistrate. You tried to murder Li Xun and are now arrested. What else can I say?" the old man asked with a calm face.

"Murder Li Xun? Who is Li Xun? Li Xun? Ah, Master Hou, I'm wronged, I didn't do this." County Magistrate Jia knew where the guards around him came from. The guards of Master Hou Li Xun shouted injustice while thinking, why did he come here and don't go home during the New Year?

"Hmph, unfairly, who left the mark on Mr. Hou?" At this time, Li Xun also walked over, followed by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He pointed to the three-inch-long small shoe print on his body and questioned.

County Magistrate Jia looked at the shoe prints on Li Xun, and was stunned and said foolishly: "That shoe print is too small, I didn't kick it."

"Hmph, I dare to argue. The person who kicked me is yours. His feet are small." Li Xun resisted not letting himself laugh and said to County Magistrate Jia. The shoe print was kicked by Zhang Xiaobao. He had just discussed it with Li Xun and used this strategy. Don't worry about the big feet, but you were kicked anyway, and you were hit when those people kicked the children.

County Magistrate Jia suddenly understood that Xiao Hou wanted his family to die, so how could he offend him? Could it be that he took the money from Han and Yuan families and didn't send it to him?

No, I can't die.

"Sir, Lord Shangshu, help me. I don't know that Xiao Hou is here. I am here to arrest the criminals. If you arrest the Zhang family, you have to make the decision for the subordinates." County Magistrate Jia cried and begged the old man.

The old man looked at the footprints on Li Xun's body. When he heard the words of County Magistrate Jia, he also understood in his heart that County Magistrate Jia wanted to solve the problem for Zhangjiazhuang at once. He decided to help Zhangjiazhuang. Just when he was about to be punished, Housekeeper Zhang stood up and pointed at County Magistrate Jia and said:

"You are talking nonsense, why don't you use the yamen runners of Sanshui County to arrest people? Where do you come from? You are the county magistrate of Sanshui County. Can't you use people from other places to capture Sanshui officials?"

"Sir Shangshu, I have evidence. If you ask me to take the evidence out, you will know." County Magistrate Jia was afraid that others would kill him directly without caring about his evidence. No one would help him. When he heard the words of Mr. Zhang, he cursed Mr. Zhang in his heart and shouted.

"This..." Shangshu didn't know what to do, and he also complained to Butler Zhang, why did he stand up?

"Sir, since he said there was evidence, let him take it out." Butler Zhang was not in a hurry at all.

"Well, take it out." Seeing Butler Zhang said this, Shangshu had to say.

"Hurry, hurry, my son, take out what you brought and let them see." County Magistrate Jia hurriedly greeted his son.

Jia Weiran was shot with an arrow on his leg, and it was in pain. When he heard his father's words, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately took out the letter from his arms, pulled out a few pieces of paper from it, and said, "They only rewarded 4,000 acres. Sir, you see, he has now enclosed 6,000 acres."

Jia Weiran said something and handed it forward. Shangshu took it over and took a look. Suddenly, he snorted coldly, threw the paper ball back into a ball and said, "Open your eyes and see how many you have enclosed, it is obviously four thousand acres. You are not a person in the yamen, but you have the things in the yamen. What should you blame?"

Before Jia Weiran could pick it up, County Magistrate Jia didn't know where he got the strength. He climbed over from someone else's feet, picked up the paper and opened it. As soon as he looked, he felt a buzzing sound in his head, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted.

That was simply the document he replaced in the yamen. Why did it appear here? It’s wrong. The son was obviously a fake document he wrote.

Li Xun stood up at this time, "Jia Shan, what else do you have to say? He framed his colleagues and privately led soldiers from other states to pass through the prefectures and counties to kill people. When he was discovered, he still wanted to kill my husband and silence him. People come and take them down, and these people will be sent to the capital.

I am writing a letter to my uncle. In my Tang Dynasty, I was almost killed and seriously injured. This is outrageous. Maybe some county magistrate would be happy and lead foreign soldiers to attack the capital. Jia Shan, do you have any evidence?"

"Mr. Hu, please spare me. I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. No, right? I'm framed my colleagues. I confessed my guilt. My husband is kind to you. I just greedy for the money of Zhangjiazhuang. I didn't think about killing Mr. Hu, I've recruited all of you."

County Magistrate Jia knew that the crime was based on the two he said, and that one of them was dismissal from office or killed him. If Li Xun said that, no one in the family could escape.

"Is this really the case?" Li Xun asked.

"Take it seriously." County Magistrate Jia replied.

"Come on, write it down and let him write it down. Lord Jia, go and find someone to protect you. I don't want to kill people like this during the Chinese New Year, maybe you can still save your life." Li Xun actually didn't dare to say that someone wanted to kill him, and his uncle would definitely find him back. He didn't want to go back, let alone destroying people, it was too cruel.

As for who he is looking for, he won’t care. Anyway, don’t think about being an official. It would be good if he could save his life. Sanshui County is safe.
