Liu Yu lined up the crowd and walked towards the assassin guard's mansion, these onlookers instinctively wanted to turn around and scold, but when they saw that it was Liu Yu, a big man full of meat, who broke in, whether they knew it or not, they all got out of the way.

The entrance of the county government, which was still blocked, naturally separated a passage, allowing Liu Yu to squeeze in alone.

It wasn't until his tall body disappeared from the door that the passage was closed again, and the crowd was chattering.

"Who is this person, he looks like a strong man, what do you want to do when you go in?"

"Hey, Lao Li, don't you even know this person? This is the famous Lizheng Liu Yu of Garlic Mountain Township. ”

"What? Is that the Jingkou Liu Da, who is known as the boxer and cross-legged bully? The one of the three-time Wu Kui leaders? ”

"yes, that's him! Last year, I saw him leading the villagers to fight with the villagers of Jiulipo, and he beat seventeen or eighteen strong men on the opposite side alone, but he was really powerful. ”

"Tut-tut, I've heard the name of Liu Jinu, but is he really that powerful? I don't believe it. ”

"Shhh, be careful, don't call him by his nickname, otherwise he might be beaten, last time Bai Laosan from Baijiagou called him like this behind his back, so he punched him and fainted, almost blind!"

Liu Yu didn't have the heart to listen to these discussions behind him, his face sank like water, his fists were clenched, and he went straight into the courtyard, outside the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, there was a wide courtyard, more than 100 steps wide, on both sides were the wings for handling various official documents, and in the center was a large open space.

In this open space, you can run horses and shoot arrows, and more than a dozen arrow targets have been received in the corner of the wall on one side, and the middle is crowded with dense northern refugees.

More than 100 officials and guards from the prefecture and county were pushing these people around with all their might, shouting at them to obey the order.

Liu Yu was engaged in Liu Yi in the state he had seen in the morning, and he was directing his subordinates to maintain order at this moment, while Wei Yongzhi, Tan Pingzhi and Meng Chang were standing at the front, together with more than a dozen other northern streamers, fighting with him with red faces.

Above the lobby, his face was covered with white powder, and the grim-faced Diao Gongzi knelt on the throne of the assassin and looked coldly at everything that happened in the courtyard.

Diao Mao was fanning Diao Gongzi with a flattering face, and after the sound of footsteps, Diao Gongzi raised his head, and saw Liu Yu entering the courtyard, his face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile.

I only heard Liu Yi say in a loud voice: "You northern streamers, you are unreasonable, it would be good for the court to accept you, do you still have to bargain with the court?" To tell you the truth, if you don't be a servant of the Diao family, you will fend for yourself. ”

Liu Yu's face changed, he looked at these northern people with vegetables on their faces and unclothed, but they were pushed around by the soldiers, and several children were crying in wah, his heart was sour, and he shouted: "Stop!" ”

Liu Yi turned his head and was stunned when he saw Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu Yu looked at Liu Yi, pointed to Diao Gongzi who was sitting in the hall, and said loudly: "Liu Yi, as a state official, but here you are helping a person who is not even a assassin history, bullying the northern refugees, violating the national policy of the imperial court, what do you mean?" ”

The quarrel between the two sides gradually subsided with Liu Yu's loud shout. Those homeless people from the north, led by the three families they had seen today, all cast grateful and expectant glances at Liu Yu, only Meng Chang stood aside expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Liu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "Liu Yu, I advise you to be nosy, this matter is not something you can ask!" Besides, how can we bully these northern refugees? ”

Tan Pingzhi looked at Liu Yu and said excitedly: "Liu Lizheng, you have to be the master for us!" We have worked hard, born and died, and finally came to Jiangdong from the north. Don't bully us who came from afar, have no power and no power, and want us to be servants and slaves! ”

Wei Yongzhi's three rabbit lips kept opening and closing: "Yes, didn't you say that the imperial court would take out the land to settle the displaced people, didn't you say that there is a large piece of ownerless wasteland in Jiangnan that can be distributed to us, why don't you give it now?" ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed, looked at Liu Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't what these people said the truth?" If you do things according to the law, you will still quarrel like this!? ”

"Our Jingkou is an overseas Chinese prefecture and county, and some land can be distributed to them, why can't we take it out?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at the Diao Gongzi who was watching coldly in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "And this Diao Gongzi, you obviously know that he is not the assassin Shi, but just the family of the assassin Shi, why did you let him sit on the position of the assassin so grandly?" Liu Yi, if you want to cling to the powerful, you can't openly violate the law of the country. ”

A few gentle applause sounded from the hall, Liu Yu looked at the hall, only to see Diao Gongzi clapping while slowly getting up from the couch (there was no high-legged furniture in the Han and Jin dynasties, they all knelt on the couch), walked out of the hall, and said slowly: "Ru Cao, listen, here, I am the king!" ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Who gave you the power to surpass Wang Fa?" ”

The noble son laughed and touched his nose: "This thing, do you know it?!" ”

He said, pointing to his side, Diao Mao proudly held a thing, walked out of the hall, Liu Yu took a closer look at this thing, only to see that it was a scepter, a bamboo cane rod, there was a series of yak tails on it, Liu Yu counted it, there were three, although he was not highly educated, but as Lizheng, some basic rules and regulations still knew, he gasped, and said: "Scepter? ”

Diao Mao laughed proudly, and the sharp voice echoed throughout the courtyard: "Boy, do you see clearly? It's a scepter! He who has this scepter is called a knot, you know? Seeing the festival is like seeing the Son of Heaven, you hillbillies, you don't kneel when you see the scepter, don't you want to rebel? ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and knelt down, and everyone around, whether it was the northern refugees or the officials and officials in the courtyard, also knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

The noble prince sneered: "Liu Yu, I know that you are a local hero, and after you are also a scholar, I will be more lenient to you!" Do you not really think that I am afraid of you, I know you, can you know me? ”

Liu Yu stood up, looked at your son, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you are the younger brother of Diao Thorn Shi, but I don't know your name." Moreover, you are not a thorn, why do you have the Scepter of the Son of Heaven? Can you give me an explanation for my father? ”

The noble prince looked at Liu Yu, and the white powder on his face shone under the light of the setting sun: "You listen well, I am Diao Hong, and my brother is the new Diao Thorn Shi Kui in Benzhou." ”

"Qin Yu intends to invade, this place of Jingkou, defend the capital. It is a special edict of the Son of Heaven, so that the brother holds the festival, the governor of the military in Jingkou, the brother still has the handover of government affairs, and I am specially ordered to take over the affairs of the state first, observe the people's feelings, and engage in it cheaply. ”
