Concubine's true colors

Chapter 228
After Guo Yi's analysis, Yan Sibao believed it to be true, especially after seeing Zhou Xianyu's hand that knocked out his front teeth with a single chopstick just now, it is really very possible to say that the other party is a person in the Jianghu.

When I think of these Jianghu people, what they like to do most is killing dog officials, eliminating bullies, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and advocating justice.

Immediately, the cold sweat on Yan Sibao's forehead became thick again, because he felt that he, the dog official and the bully were almost all taken up.

And just like what Guo Yi said, these servants under his command can bully and bully ordinary people, but if they really fight with people in the Jianghu, it's not enough to look at.

Seeing that although there were many people on his side, Yan Sibao, who still felt that his life was threatened, immediately retreated.

But after all, he is a magistrate of a county, and his subordinates were killed, and he came aggressively, and now he walks away without interrogation or questioning, and it is inevitable that he will lose face.

Therefore, although his heart was already trembling, Yan Sibao still tried to save face and yelled:
"Old man Zhao, if you don't pay the official tax, I can suspend you for a few days, but yesterday my yamen and the servants all died at your place. If you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid I can't justify it."

Hearing this, old man Zhao's heart trembled, he just wanted to stand up and take the blame for his benefactor, but Zhou Xianyu smiled evilly and opened his mouth first.

"You said that we violated the law of murder, so there should be evidence. Even if you are a county magistrate, you have no right to arrest someone if you say nothing."

Hearing this, he killed his companion yesterday, leaving only a small life. The guard named Shouhou saw how many people were on his side, so he became more courageous, so he jumped out and said:

"You murderer, you still dare to quibble, Yatou and the others died at your hands, and I, Skinny Monkey, are the witnesses."

But as soon as his words fell, Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, immediately covered her mouth and laughed lightly. After a while, she said in a cold voice:

"You officer, you are really interesting to talk about. We killed that yatou, but as an official officer, he trespassed on private houses and humiliated innocent women in public. Based on these two points, according to the laws of my Great Zhou, it is Beating him to death in the street can only be regarded as excessive self-defense, but it is not a crime, and there is no need to go to jail for interrogation, County Magistrate Yan, as the parent officer, should be very clear about this point."

As mentioned earlier, Dazhou has always been people-oriented and attaches great importance to people's livelihood. Therefore, even the most ordinary people have the right to resist self-defense in the face of forcible intrusion by officials and unruly intentions. Seriously injuring someone to death, as long as there are country gentry and elders who are willing to protect their names after the incident, they can not be held accountable and do not need to bear legal sanctions.

Although Yan Sibao was ignorant, he still knew this simple law, and was immediately speechless when asked by Xiao Jinxuan.

But Xiao Jinxuan ignored the other party's ugly expression, raised her head slightly, and continued calmly:
"The yatou took people into captivity, death is not a pity at all, and as for the other guards who didn't make a move, they didn't die in our hands. They killed each other and died by themselves. What does this have to do with us? Master Yan really wants to catch the murderer, so he should quickly arrest this guard named Shouhou, because he is the real murderer."

In terms of plotting and sophistry, even Yan Sibao and his group together would definitely not be Xiao Jinxuan's opponent. Immediately, they saw that this group of people's faces turned red when they were forced to ask questions, but they couldn't refute.

Especially the guard named Shouhou, who saw Xiao Jinxuan turn him into a murderer with a few words, and almost fainted from fright.

Seeing that he couldn't beat Zhou Xianyu, and wanted to save some face with words, but was teased by Xiao Jinxuan, Yan Sibao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had no choice but to leave in despair.

And when he got out of old man Zhao's fenced yard, he was sure that the people in the house could no longer hear him, and Yan Sibao held his breath for a long time, but he dared to yell out.

Then I saw him slap the thin monkey on the face, and said fiercely:
"You idiots, you are not worthy of pity when you die. I don't want to provoke those Jianghu people. You are tired of living. In front of these Jianghu people who are clamoring to eliminate harm for the people every day, robbing houses. I think even You, Skinny Monkey, should have died back then, if it wasn’t for you, would my master have been humiliated like this today.”

Seeing that the thin monkey was so scolded that he didn't dare to raise his head, and followed Yan Sibao, Master Cheng in the government office immediately bowed and smiled and hurriedly advised:
"Master, don't get angry. In fact, we can't deal with those two people. Naturally, others will support us. You forgot. The soldiers on the other side of Montenegro sent news last night, saying that the camp was attacked at night, calling us Please spread the news to Prince Tai's residence quickly, and tell us to find out the whereabouts of the person who killed him as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yan Sibao had a sad expression on his face. He was able to become the magistrate of the county because of the help of Xue's family. Many years ago, after a black iron vein was found on this black mountain, he secretly helped Zhou Xiantai, the prince, secretly mines the mine, and plays the role of delivering news and transporting black iron in the middle.

But these years have passed, Zhuluo Town is located in a remote place, and there have been no accidents, but last night the camp was attacked at night, and the officer there told him to catch the person who sneaked into the camp, otherwise he would be the only one. ask.

This is Yan Sibao's biggest worry now, so when he saw his master mentioning this matter, he immediately asked him back, but there is a solution.

This person who can be a master usually has a good brain, so when he saw this Master Cheng, he said leisurely:

"That's right, the villain does have a way, which is to ask that strange man and woman from another county to take the charge of attacking Heishan village at night, and then report the matter to the Prince of Thailand. Even if we can't deal with the Jianghu people with strong martial arts skills, but if If His Royal Highness takes action, these two people will definitely lose their lives. In this way, the master’s grievances will also come out, and he can make a deal with the night attack, such a way to get the best of both worlds, I don’t know what you think about it.”

Watching Yan Sibao at this meeting, Dou Le danced happily, and immediately he praised Mr. Cheng, and then ordered the other party to do it quickly, sending the portraits of Zhou Xianyu and the two to Prince Tai's residence without delay. Tell Zhou Xiantai to send someone to punish Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu based on the portrait, and he himself can express the anger in his heart.

What Yan Sibao never imagined was that, by accident, he not only found the person behind the night-exploring Black Village, but also was about to deliver a very important message to Zhou Xiantai.

As for Lord Yan Luo, who is in a hurry, how to send a letter to Prince Tai's mansion, I will not mention it for the time being.

Besides, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, who are the powerful generals of the government, have once again been forced to retreat. They are now leisurely playing with the group. They don't know the identities and whereabouts of the two of them by accident. It turned out that he was about to be sent back to the capital.

But now in this room, it's not just the two of them. I saw the scruffy man Guo Yi who just came over, sitting at the wooden table, serving the rice porridge and side dishes that Xiao Jinxuan and the others hadn't finished eating just now. He didn't dislike it and sent it all to his mouth.

While he was eating, he took a look at the old man Zhao who was standing by the inner door and kept giving him winks a few times, then grumbled, and after drinking half a bowl of rice porridge, he said with a smile:
"I said, Mr. Zhao, what are you doing blinking at me all the time? Today, you were able to escape from the hands of Lord Yan Luo and not be taken away by persecution. This is all thanks to my Guo Yi. Don't think I don't know , Dad, you still brew your own sorghum wine, take some out quickly, and ask me to have a few sips with this meal, that would be a great pleasure."

But upon hearing Guo Yi's words, the old man Zhao immediately patted his thigh anxiously, then looked at Xiao Jinxuan respectfully, and then curled his lips and softly advised:

"Guo Yiyou, why are you still able to sit and eat? The reason why you drove away Yan Sibao today is obviously Miss You'er, who helped Mr. Xianlong. You are just talking nonsense. How dare you take credit for yourself like this? Come out quickly, old man, I won't allow you to disturb the two benefactors here."

But upon hearing this, Guo Yi, who was eating sliced ​​fried bamboo shoots in oil, immediately waved her hands, then raised her head and laughed.

"Father Zhao, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It's true that Yan Sibao just now had to leave because he was afraid of these two nobles. You are a person in the rivers and lakes, so why did Lord Yan Luo retreat without fighting before he made a move. So it was me, Guo Yi, who avoided a fierce fight between the two of you, so this meal cannot be eaten by others, and I, Guo Yi But eat with peace of mind."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was stretching out her hand to tease the dumpling and play with him, had a smile on her face, but after hearing Guo Yi's words, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head with interest, and looked at To Guo Yi.

"This is Guo Juren, right? You said just now that you lied about the two of us as people in the Jianghu. Can you guess what our identities are?"

This Guo Yi is crazy and careless, if not for everyone saying that he is a Juren, Xiao Jinxuan would really not be able to see him as a literati student who has read the books of sages.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan talking to her, Guo Yi seemed to be quite happy, she didn't eat, and trotted over a few times before she wanted to speak, but he hesitated to speak, and looked at the old man Zhao's granddaughter both.

"Father, you and Da Nier are going out to get me some food for Guo Yi. I haven't had enough food for seven or eight days. How can I help you guys today? Daddy, you can't be stingy." what."

Watching Guo Yi look over, Da Nier, who was standing beside the old man Zhao, met the other's eyes, immediately blushed, and then lowered her head in embarrassment.

And hurriedly followed Guo Yi's instructions, dragged his grandfather, and hurried out of the house to prepare new meals.

How could Xiao Jinxuan fail to see that Guo Yi was deliberately dismissing the old man Zhao and his granddaughter, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with more interest:

"It seems that you, the grandpa and granddaughter of the Zhao family, really have a very close relationship. In order to save them, you did not hesitate to deal with the county magistrate. Now that you send them away again, I am afraid that you are also worried. The more they know The more, the more dangerous it will be in the future."

Hearing these words, Guo Yi took a deep look at Xiao Jinxuan, the cynical expression just now had been completely suppressed, and his voice also said solemnly:

"Miss You'er's words are not wrong at all. As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty. The old man Zhao and his granddaughter really can't know more things, otherwise Guo Yi is really worried. The two of them are in Yan Sibao today. One of the subordinates was lucky enough to survive, but tomorrow they will die because they know too much. And the person who wants to kill them most at that time is probably Miss You'er, Mr. Xianlong and you two noblemen. Alright."
