Chapter 72 Rescue, the arrested boy
Chen Xing was really unconvinced after getting his ass kicked, and he muttered, "Stinky idiot, rotten wood, moldy stone and stupid pillar", and cursed, it seems that he is also used to fighting with his master.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and the relationship between the two masters and apprentices was surprisingly good.
The two quarreled for a while, and finally stopped. Chen Xing was spanked, and squatted aside in dissatisfaction, ignoring others. Luo Tongqing glanced at him, turned around and saluted Bai Yutang again, "The discipline is ineffective, Master Uncle forgive me."
Bai Yutang laughed dryly twice, and asked, "Are you also coming to the martial arts competition to recruit relatives?"
Luo Tongqing shook his head and said, "No, it's the second senior brother who came to recruit relatives this time, and I came with him."
Bai Yutang thought for a long time but couldn't remember who these two senior brothers were, so he simply gave up and asked, "Where's your master and uncle?"
"In the back, some things are delayed." Luo Tongqing replied seriously, "Maybe it will come soon, maybe it will be very slow, maybe it won't come after the recruitment is over, then I won't come, maybe it will be tomorrow, but the second brother is arrive tomorrow."
The corners of Bai Yutang's and Zhan Zhao's mouths twitched at the same time, thinking to themselves, just asking casually, don't you need to answer so clearly?
"Master uncle is also here to recruit relatives?" Luo Tongqing asked, "Then the second senior brother will not be selected, and we will help select the master uncle."
"No, no, no." Bai Yutang quickly waved his hands, and said, "I'm just here to join in the fun. You are busy with your work, don't worry about me." Saying that, he left Luo Tongqing and left with Zhan Zhao.
Luo Tongqing saluted respectfully behind, "Respectfully send off Master Uncle."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao descended the mountain as if fleeing, Zhan Zhao laughed, "This Luo Tongqing is really interesting."
Bai Yutang smiled wryly, "It's all taught by that old-fashioned Yu Wanfang to be alone and stay like this."
While chatting, the two hurried to the magistrate's yamen.
"Aren't you getting up yet?" Luo Tongqing glared at Chen Xing who was squatting aside and playing with his temper, "Don't you want to eat tomorrow?"
Chen Xing glanced at him dissatisfied, stood up, and walked up the mountain.
Luo Tongqing followed, and Chen Xing muttered, "I'm not wrong. Is that man younger than you? Why do you feel wronged and call him Shishuzu, as if my seniority is so low."
Luo Tongqing raised his eyebrows, "Your seniority is indeed low."
Chen Xing wrinkled his nose and said, "When I grow up, I will definitely hit you, and then beat you hard."
Luo Tong smiled, "It doesn't cost money to brag."
Chen Xing held his breath secretly, and when they returned to Yuanjiazhuang, they saw the old man toasting everywhere. Luo Tongqing and Chen Xing returned to their seats, looked up, and saw someone not far away looking at them curiously.
Seeing that it was Tang Mi, Chen Xing immediately remembered what happened just now, and asked Luo Tongqing, "Is our Hengshan School not as famous as the Tang School in Central Sichuan?"
Luo Tong gave him a clear look, and said, "Don't compare the upright sect with those crooked sects."
When Chen Xing asked, she also had the intention of provoking Tang Mi, so her voice was quite loud, and Tang Mi heard it. Luo Tongqing didn't know that Tang Mi was not far away, so she just answered casually.
Chen Xing gave Tang Mi a blank look, as if to say——Did you hear that?Don't be complacent.
Tang Mi laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thinking it was funny.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang descended from Mount Lu and hurried to the magistrate's yamen, they slipped into the backyard and climbed over the wall to enter.
The magistrate's yamen seemed well-behaved, the two went around and finally found the study.It was already late at this time, and the oil lamp was still lit in the study, it seemed that the magistrate worked very hard every day.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped onto the roof, lifted the roof tiles familiarly, and looked inside, but the movements of the two were too unified, and one didn't pay attention... There was a "boom", and the foreheads of the two collided. got together.The two were surprised by the pain, quickly covered the roof tiles first, and then raised their heads to look at each other—what are you doing?
"Is there anyone outside?" At this time, the sound of someone talking came from inside the study, and then the door opened, and a person ran out to look around, and then went back and said to the magistrate, "My lord, there is no one, I probably heard it wrong." .”
"Oh." Liu Bian nodded and said, "Maybe I heard wrong, you go back first, I can do it by myself, and I will call you when I need it."
"Yes, my lord." While speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked towards the yard, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy hurried out of the study room with a tea tray, closed the door, and ran towards the front hall.
The two looked at each other, the magistrate is quite sensitive.
Not long after, when the whole courtyard became quiet, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to lift the roof tiles and continue peeking, but the magistrate opened the door and came out.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly hid behind the roof and looked at the magistrate... They saw that this man was tall and thin, about 30 years old, and looked quite capable.
"I know you're here." The magistrate suddenly said to himself.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other... Who's here?
"If you don't come out to see me, I'll tell you." Liu Bian said self-consciously, "Don't hurt anyone anymore... Paper can't hold a fire. I can save you once, but I can't save you forever."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were confused, but it was not good to interrupt him, listening to the magistrate continue to talk to himself.
"The grievances and grievances between you and those people can't be explained clearly, and it's been so long, why do you still insist on it?" Liu Bian sighed softly, and sat down beside the stone table, " Mr. Yuan and Namoji are not mediocre people. No matter how capable you are, what can you do with them? Now that things are getting so big, I heard that Mr. Yuan has even invited Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to a martial arts competition to recruit relatives... ...This matter involves the Kaifeng Mansion, aren't you afraid?"
Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't understand what they heard, they were not stupid people. From Liu Bian's words, they could roughly understand why... It seems that he had a relationship with a person with good martial arts, and that person was The person who caused this incident was also feared by Mr. Yuan, and he might even be someone directly related to Moji's death and the civil strife in the Crazy Sword Sect.
"I still hope you can stop." Liu Bian continued, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. They have done so many bad things, and they will definitely get what they deserve. You are still young, why bother to waste this good time on Revenge?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang lay on the roof and rubbed their chins, and said in their hearts——So it was for revenge. It seems that Mr. Yuan and Mo Ji did something wrong to others back then... This matter must not be related to the moth. Bar?I always feel that this case has something to do with Crazy Knife.
"Alas..." Liu Bian sighed softly, and said, "Let me just say this, you can do it yourself, and don't come to me in the future." After speaking, he entered the room and closed the door.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang effortlessly inquired about some news, but they don't know if it's true or not, whether the magistrate really got the wrong person, or deliberately set up a trick to confuse, in short, it's half or half.
The two looked at each other, then lifted the roof tiles and looked down. After Liu Bian returned to the study, he lowered his head and continued to read the official documents... There are bookshelves everywhere in the study, which smells like a book.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at it, and felt that it was not unreasonable for the common people to call Liu Bian a clean and honest official, but they wanted to find out where the seal Xu's apprentice, Xiao Mao, was now...
Bai Yutang thought for a while, and jumped outside. Zhan Zhao didn't quite understand what he suddenly thought of, so he followed out. After landing, Bai Yutang poked Zhan Zhao, and asked, "Is there any paper and pen?"
Zhan Zhao frowned, and said, "Who's going out with a pen and paper?"
Bai Yutang was helpless, turned around and went outside, borrowed some pens and paper from an inn, wrote a note, and then ran back to the back wall of the magistrate's yamen.
"What did you write?" Zhan Zhao chased after him, asking curiously.
Bai Yutang took out the note and showed it to Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao took it over and glanced at it, only to see what was written on the paper - I will take it away and silence it, so as to avoid future troubles.
"Oh..." Zhan Zhao shrugged his shoulders clearly, "Are you doing this trick again?"
Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's been tried and tested."
After finishing speaking, he went up to the wall with Zhan Zhao, wrapped a small stone in a note, and threw it towards the paper window in the magistrate's study.
With a sound of "poof", the stone broke through the paper window and fell on the table of the magistrate Liu Bian.
Liu Bian frowned slightly, feeling puzzled, and took the note to read.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and waited outside. As expected, they saw Liu Bian rushing out after a while, shouting, "Come here!"
Several yamen servants ran over, Liu Bian said, "Where's that young man locked up in the prison?"
The yamen servant was taken aback, and said, "It's still closed."
"Go and have a look!" Liu Bian said, "Don't let anything happen!"
"Uh..." Several yamen servants turned around and ran away, wondering in their hearts, is the magistrate so capable?Knowing that something will happen in the cell in the study?
"Wait!" Liu Bian suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Don't go."
However, at this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang already knew what they knew - they were locked in a prison.The two jumped out of the courtyard wall and went straight to the prison.
Liu Bian turned around and said, "Take everyone with you, someone is going to rob the prison!"
Several yamen servants were a little dazed, but seeing Liu Bian's expression, they didn't dare to disobey, so they quickly went to gather people.
Seeing that Bai Yutang was about to break into the prison, Zhan Zhao grabbed him and said, "Oh, what are you doing?"
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Why? Break in to save people."
Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, but Bai Yutang understood, and said, "Mao'er, are you an official post? You don't have to go, I'll go, just wait."
"No!" Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang and said, "Are we going to break into the prison to save people like this? What if it's not that Mao? Also, why don't you cover your face?"
Bai Yutang felt his head hurt, and the cat was troublesome, and said, "Whatever!"
After finishing speaking, he rushed inside... Zhan Zhao felt a little helpless, so he shook his head and followed.The two performed lightness kung fu and went straight in and clicked on the sleepy points of those yamen servants. Before the yamen servants passed out, they saw a flash of figures in front of them.
In the distance was the prison cell, Zhan Zhao covered his face with his sleeve, but Bai Yutang didn't want to cover it, and said, "The yamen servants are all dizzy..."
Zhan Zhao glared at him, "There are still prisoners!" Saying that, he grabbed his hand and forced him to cover his face.
After covering his face, Zhan Zhao called out, "Xiao Mao!"
After calling twice, no one answered.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that Xiao Mao was a mute. Bai Yutang asked the prisoner in the next cell who was looking at them with wide eyes, "Is there a mute? Where is it?"
The prisoner pointed to the innermost cell, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it towards the inner cell, hitting a young man who was lying down. The young man moved and turned over.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran over, and saw a young man with a clean face, not very old, his eyes were wide open and he looked blankly at the two who ran up to them.
Zhan Zhao asked him in a low voice, "Are you the apprentice of Seal Xu?"
The boy blinked at Zhan Zhao and nodded.
"Why were you arrested?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Xiao Mao shook his head aggrievedly, and made gestures for a while, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang naturally couldn't understand it, and they didn't know what to do.Zhan Zhao asked him, "Have you done anything bad?"
Xiao Mao quickly shook his head and shook his head, indicating that he didn't, then shrugged his shoulders, as if to say - I don't know why they arrested me.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew it well, it seemed that they couldn't be wrong.
"We'll wait until we get out." Bai Yutang said, he cut off the chains of the cell with a knife, and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Mao out. Xiao Mao was terrified and didn't know what happened.
At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, and Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang—the yamen servant has arrived.
Bai Yutang glanced at the skylight above the cell, jumped up and kicked it open, got down and grabbed Xiaomao and flew out, Zhan Zhao raised his hand to pick up a few stones on the ground, flung them away, and threw them at the lighting torches all around Passed over... With a few puffs, the torches were all extinguished.
Those yamen servants came in and wandered around, and heard the prefect watching from the side, "Hurry up and turn on the lights."
Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Liu Bian, in vain you were hailed as an upright official by the people, yet you abused your private power and imprisoned innocent people. Can you be worthy of the black yarn on your head?!"
"I..." Liu Bian was terrified in his heart, wondering who is this who knows his secret...
Zhan Zhao said again, "Remember, you are the parent official of the Jiujiang Mansion, and you can only be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth if you are worthy of the common people, otherwise, you will arouse resentment from the people!" After finishing speaking, he jumped out.
Bai Yutang was digging his ears outside, seeing Zhan Zhao coming down, he said, "Cat, you're playing tricks."
Zhan Zhao winked at him, "Didn't I learn it from you?"
After speaking, the two left the prefect's yamen with Xiao Mao, and rushed to Seal Xu's house.
Xiaomao felt his feet leaving the ground and flying around. Looking around at the two of them, they were both handsome and extraordinary. One was dressed in white and the other was dressed in blue. He wondered if he had met a Bodhisattva?Looking at it again, it was going in the direction of my own home. I was overjoyed and thanked God for sending two gods to save him.
When they arrived in the alley, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little dizzy again. Fortunately, Xiao Mao knew the road well, so he brought them back to Yin Zhang Xu's house.
As soon as he rushed into the room, seal Xu Zheng was staring at the table with the oil lamp on. Seeing Xiao Mao came back, he was so happy that he burst into tears. The master and apprentice hurriedly thanked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
The two waved their hands and asked the old man, "Mr. Xu, help us ask him what's going on?"
"Okay." Mr. Xu turned to ask Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao made a gesture, and the old man said, "He said, he went to get me a drink that day, and for some reason, two officials came and said he was stealing, and took him away. ... Then, no one tried him, and he was locked in a big prison. But the yamen guards treated him very well, gave him good food and drink, and no one beat him, let him live in a room alone, Just don't let him go.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew in their hearts that this Liu Bian wanted to lock up the young man on purpose, and it seemed that this little Mao knew something he shouldn't know.
The two asked the old man to ask Xiao Mao what was so special about him.
Xiao Mao gestured for a long time, and Mr. Liu also said that he still saw the ghost ship and the prefect that night, and he didn't know what happened to the others.
Both of them were puzzled, why did Liu Bian arrest Xiao Mao?But at least the person has been rescued, so you can think about it slowly and don't worry.
Considering that it was not safe for the master and apprentice to live here, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked the two to calm down, first escorted the master and apprentice to live on the boat temporarily, and then set off, rushing back to the original family village by night.
