Grabbing the knife with a "knifeless take" and stabbing his opponent with a backhand, Shimazu Chiyo spun around in a circle to prevent the blood from spurting onto himself. Her eyes were fixed on the second assassin www.biquge.info her hands were already on the hilt of the sword, as if she was ready to make a fatal "knife drawing technique".

After Xia Nan came back to his senses, he saw Shimazu Chiyo's preparatory action, and knew that once the knife was unsheathed, the second one would definitely die at this moment, so he hurriedly stopped it: "Don't kill them all, leave a mouth alive!" "If I was assassinated in front of my house, and if I don't figure out the ins and outs, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well.

Hearing this, Shimazu Chiyo gave up on drawing his sword and slapped the second assassin on the neck with his scabbard, knocking him to the ground.

At this time, all the people gathered around, and the guards surrounded Xia Nan, lest a third assassin appear.

The assassin on the ground was controlled, but he was very unwilling, and shouted and scolded: "Traitor, you are perverse, covering the sky in Qiongzhou Mansion, even if I can't kill you, someone will kill you!" ”

Xia Nan was very strange when he heard this, listening to him not speak like an illiterate peddler pawn, but like the tone of a scholar. After a closer look, he found that it was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a beard, and he didn't know him, so he asked, "Who are you, and what kind of grudge do you have against me?" ”

The man snorted, but did not answer, but stared at him viciously, his eyes as if they were about to breathe fire.

Wei Lianheng was also in the crowd of greetings, at this time he heard this voice a little familiar, walked up to see that it was still an acquaintance, he pointed to the other party in surprise: "You...... Aren't you the magistrate of Changhua? How did he run to Lingao to assassinate the general? ”

Everyone was stunned, this person was actually Changhua Zhixian! is also a county parent official, how can he be reduced to the point of murder on the street, and the target of the assassination is the most difficult person in the entire Qiongzhou?

This person is Lu Gengyu of Changhua Zhixian County, he saw that he was recognized, and felt that his current appearance as a beggar was insulting to Sven, and he had the intention to deny it, but he didn't want to tell a lie, so he covered his face with his sleeves and replied sullenly: "It doesn't matter who I am, since I can't use this fang, kill me, no need to say more!" ”

After Xia Nan learned that this person was the magistrate of Changhua County, he concluded that this person was crazy because he attacked Changhua and ran to assassinate him, his mood turned from shock to anger, and he said coldly: "It's just an attack on Changhua County, even if you resist, we didn't kill after we broke the city, I don't know why the resentment in your heart is so deep." But there is one thing you said is right, I will cover the sky in Qiongzhou Mansion with one hand, and the only way to stop me is death. If you dare to come, you must be ready to die, and I will fulfill you. Someone ...... coming."

"Wait!" Sun Yuanhua came out of the crowd and said earnestly, "General, why don't you let him explain the ins and outs before it's too late?" If a Zhengtang county magistrate, if it is not cornered, how can it come to the point of committing murder on the street? He listened to the rhetoric of this Changhua county order, and he was also a courtier loyal to the saint and the imperial court, and he was able to make an assassination act, which shows that he is still strong and upright, such an upright and loyal minister is not much in the officialdom, if he can save it, he still has to try. Fortunately, there is no danger in the assassination, and there is still room for turnaround.

This bit of face, Xia Nan still wants to give Sun Yuanhua, "Although I don't think it matters whether I ask or not, but Mr. Sun opened his mouth, so he gave Mr. Sun a face and asked him to make it clear." ”

Lu Gengyu arched his hand towards Sun Yuanhua: "This gentleman's kindness has been understood, but the contemptible person has been disheartened, what has happened to him, why did he come to assassinate, don't say it." ”

Sun Yuanhua held the idea of saving loyal ministers for the imperial court and avoiding killing too many officials for the generals, and patiently enlightened: "If there is anything, you might as well say it openly and honestly, maybe you can find a solution, why do you want to die?" The old man was also the same as you at the beginning, just asking for the knife at the mouth of the vegetable market, but after getting through it, looking back, it was nothing more than that, taking a step back and opening the sky, so that the distraction was calm. ”

Lu Gengyu was a little puzzled, the vegetable market mouth mentioned by the Ming officialdom is generally said to be the place with the highest concentration of people outside the Xuanwu Gate in the capital, and this has always been the place where executions and beheadings are located, and most of them are officials and political prisoners, and ordinary people are not qualified to be beheaded here. The most famous of this dynasty is that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, was executed here, and since then, the name of the vegetable market in the capital has spread in the officialdom. This old man claimed that he was almost beheaded by Caishikou, he must also be an official, and his grade is not low, a seven-grade petty official like himself is not qualified to die in Caishikou.

He asked tentatively, "Haven't you asked Mr. for a name?" How many official residences? ”

Sun Yuanhua sighed: "Don't mention the past, the old man is just a cloth ...... now"

Sima De on the side interjected leisurely: "This gentleman's surname is Sun, the word is Chuyang, he once used to be the right to the imperial history, the governor of Denglai, and the eight-seater is a four-rank member with heavy soldiers!" ”

Lu Gengyu was shocked and hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be Mr. Chuyang, rude!" Lu Gengyu, the former governor of Changhua County, turned his words into foolishness. "The governor is a member of the imperial court stationed in the local area, the military and political power is in his hands, and there are not many real power factions in the entire Ming Dynasty. Although Lu Gengyu is a petty official in a remote state and county, he also knows Sun Yuanhua's name.

Sun Yuanhua waved his hand: "The past is like the past, and the old man is also living in the world as a sinful person, and now he just wants to assist the general to do something that is beneficial to the society and the people." Then again, I can let it go, why can't you let it go? You might as well tell the old man about your experience. He noticed that the other party claimed to be the former magistrate, and it seemed that he was either dismissed or resigned, and there was a story in it.

Knowing Sun Yuanhua's identity, coupled with the fact that the governors of other houses have been reduced to cloth clothes, some of his own experiences seem to be not worth mentioning, and the depression in Lu Gengyu's heart has been reduced a lot. He sighed: "Everything started with the Qiongzhou battalion attacking Changhua......"

He briefly recounted what happened to him over the past year.

Last summer, Nan set a plan to attack Chengmai and Changhua counties, and Wei Lianheng was responsible for fighting Changhua, but Lu Gengyu organized the people's brave resistance and had to use mortars as a last resort. The county government was also affected, and Lu Gengyu's right leg was crushed by the debris, leaving him disabled and lame. Lu Gengyu couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to jointly sue Qianhu Zhangyou of the Wei Institute, but he was rejected by the other party, and in turn persuaded him to know the current affairs. Lu Gengyu was angry, and went to Fucheng to complain to the prefect's yamen, saying that the Qiongzhou battalion sent troops without authorization, attacked the county seat, and killed the people. What he didn't expect was that when the prefect Qin Bingyan heard that it was related to the Qiongzhou camp, he didn't listen to it and blasted him out.

When Lu Gengyu, who had no way out, was desperate, he wanted to cross the sea to Guangzhou to go to Guangzhou to go to the higher level, but after Qin Bingyan learned about it, he sent someone to block him back, and warned him sternly, if he insisted on going his own way again, he would find someone to impeach him, and go through the official process to brush his black yarn hat.

A dignified seven-grade parent official, squeezed out by colleagues, suppressed by officials, and had no way to sue, Lu Geng Yuniu lost his temper, so he took the initiative to resign, took the only cronies and entourage, and ran to Lingao to find Xia Nantong to die. It's just that Xia Nan either went in and out of the country this year to be closely protected, or went to sea for a few months, and couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start, Lu Gengyu, who was originally pretending to be a beggar, ran out of entanglements and became a real beggar. I finally found a good opportunity today, but I didn't expect it to fall short in the end.

Xia Nan on the side was dumbfounded, what happened to this tendon Zhixian County sounded the same as the petitioners in the old time and space, isn't this the Ming Dynasty version of the petitioners?
