A knife in love

Chapter 1124

The man in yellow robe was still in shock, his face turned pale, but his hands still held the motionless child tightly in his arms.

At this time, the woman in the Chinese dress has also scrambled and scrambled to get to the feet of the man in yellow.She didn't stand up from the ground in a panic until she saw that the man in yellow robe didn't fall down.It's just that after kneeling on the ground for a long time, she just stood up from the ground, her legs hadn't stood up straight yet, she just felt a numbness in her knees, and she fell to the ground again.

Lifting the man in yellow robe, the man's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. Seeing that the woman in Chinese clothes was about to fall to the ground again, he grabbed the wide jade belt tied around the man's waist with his left hand and gently pulled it.The man in the yellow robe couldn't help but took two steps back, and happened to be right next to the woman in the beautiful dress.The woman in the Chinese dress leaned on the yellow-robed man's leg, and grabbed the yellow-robed man's body with both hands, so that she didn't fall down.The man in yellow hugged the child in his arms tightly with his left hand, and supported the girl with his right hand to stand up slowly.The two looked at each other at the same time, with concern, sadness and shame in their eyes.

At this time, everyone could clearly see that the person holding the man in yellow was a man in his 40s.The man was short and fat, with a wicked smirk on his face.At this moment, he stood beside the yellow-robed man with his hands on his hips, as if nothing had happened.

The official stretched out his hand to push the yellow-robed man out of desperation just now, but he didn't expect him to be so helpless that he fell backwards, which startled the official.He thought to himself, although this person is down and out, he is still a member of the imperial family after all, if he was pushed and injured or died, it would be a serious crime against the Jiuzu.Although the officials of Chengdu Mansion must try their best to help him cover up, the adults in the Ministry of Rites will not just sit back and watch him be sent to prison.But some human relationship management is indispensable, and I don't know how much money it will take to settle this matter.The official breathed a sigh of relief when Humpty Humpty suddenly appeared and helped the man in yellow.He didn't want to get entangled with the yellow-robed man anymore, seeing that everyone was looking at the yellow-robed man, he turned around and wanted to sneak away.

At this moment, the short fat man laughed and said: "My lord, do you want to leave now?"

The official was startled, stopped, turned around, and looked at the fat man carefully.Seeing the shabby clothes and ordinary face of this man, he looked like a porter.So he sneered and said, "Are you talking to me?"

But the short fat man looked around deliberately, and said to himself: "Could it be that there is a second high-ranking official here?!" It's just that when he said the word "high-ranking official", he deliberately didn't say clearly. , it sounds like saying "dog officer".The people around immediately burst into laughter, and many of them pointed and whispered at the official.

The official knew that the short fat man was deliberately mocking him, so he was furious, turned his head and shouted: "Ma San, Zhang Jin, you two killers, why don't you teach this troublesome man a lesson for the master?!"

Ma San and Zhang Jin are the official's personal servants.After the three of them left the magistrate's yamen, they were going back to the inn, but they were stopped by the man in yellow after walking not far away.The official had already heard from the prefect of Chengdu that the yellow-robed man was determined to make trouble with officials from the Ministry of Rites.So he was sitting in the sedan chair, and heard the commotion outside the sedan chair. When Ma San said that it was the man in yellow robe who wanted him to reason, he knew something was wrong, and took advantage of the chaos, he got out of the sedan chair and slipped away.It's not that he's afraid of the yellow-robed man, it's just that although the other party is a down-and-out imperial relative, he can't beat him or scold him, so he doesn't need to get into this trouble.But the man in yellow saw him get off the sedan chair, and desperately chased him despite Ma San and Zhang Jin's obstruction.The official was wearing an official uniform and official boots, and it was inconvenient for him to run, so after he escaped two streets, he was still stopped by the yellow-robed man at the intersection.Ma San and Zhang Jin had to take two bearers with them, so they were a bit slow. When they arrived at the intersection, many people had already surrounded them.Although the two wanted to stop the yellow-robed man, they were wrapped in the crowd by the spectators and were unable to come forward to help.

At this time, Ma San and Zhang Jin, who were trapped in the crowd, heard their master yelling and squeezed into the circle with their lives.Both of them were strong men in their thirties, wearing silk shirts sewn with high-quality Sichuan brocade presented by the prefect of Chengdu, and rushed to the short fat man aggressively.Zhang Jin pointed at the short fat man's nose and cursed: "A thief who has no eyes dares to be rude to my master. I'll see if I don't beat you, you will find your teeth all over the place!"

After he finished speaking, he formed a fist with his right hand and punched the short fat man in the face.Seeing that the people around were moving their hands, they became more excited and rushed forward one after another.The few people standing at the front were caught off guard, pushed by the crowd behind, and even fell to the ground.At this time, there were thousands of people surrounded by people. They didn't know what happened in the circle, and everyone wanted to see clearly, so they rushed forward one after another.Those few civilians fell to the ground, before they had time to get up, the crowd behind them crowded up, and they were about to trample them under their feet.

Zhang Jin was punching the short fat man, but the crowd behind him crowded up.A man was bumped by the crowd behind him, staggered, and immediately fell forward, hitting Zhang Jin's back with his head.Zhang Jin was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a "plop".

After Zhang Jin fell, the crowd around him rushed up in an instant.Countless feet stepped on it, and they were about to step on Zhang Jin and several commoners who fell to the ground.

Between lightning and flint, a figure flashed out, swiftly grabbed the fallen civilians and Zhang Jin's side, and at the critical moment, picked these people up from the ground, and dragged them back A few steps, which saved them from being trampled to death by the crowd.

Seeing the people all around rush forward one after another, like a wall, the situation is quite astonishing.The short fat man dragged the man in yellow robe and the woman in Chinese clothes back a few steps, then stretched out his hand to pull up the two children who were kneeling on the ground, protecting him behind him, and then let out a long howl.Although there was a lot of people around, the whistling sound was sharp and piercing, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.Everyone felt a ringing in their ears, and involuntarily stretched out their hands to cover their ears.As a result, the people who were desperately trying to squeeze forward stopped involuntarily.Everyone just covered their ears and didn't want to hear this weird and piercing whistling sound any more.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Humpty Humpty shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop and don't move! Otherwise, you will trample on each other, and I don't know how many people will die!"

When the spectators heard Humpty Humpty's shout, their ears were ringing, and everyone was startled, knowing that Humpty Humpty was right.So they stood on the spot one by one, and no longer dared to crowd indiscriminately.

At this time, the crowd had already reached behind the official, almost pushing him to the ground, making him pale and trembling with fright.Fortunately, Humpty Humpty first let out a long howl, then let out an angry roar, which silenced all the people.The official hurried forward a few steps and fled to Humpty Dumpty's side, and then he recovered from the shock.

It was Li Qiufeng who rescued Zhang Jin and several other people who had fallen to the ground.He saw that Humpty Dumpty restrained the people who were in a mess with his deep inner strength, but the crisis still hadn't been eliminated.These thousands of people have already become frightened birds, and if there is a slight disturbance at this time, they are afraid that they will mess up again like headless chickens.At that time, it must be a catastrophe to trample on each other.So he said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic! Those who stand at the outermost stand back first!"

At this time, all the people have come to their senses, they all know that the chaos will continue, and they will definitely not be able to get it back, so no one dares to move.Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, the people standing outside slowly backed away.According to Li Qiufeng's plan, the people should retreat slowly one by one, so that there will be no more chaos.I didn't expect that these people are not the army, so they don't know how to advance and retreat.After the outermost people retreated, the rest of the people turned around and ran away without waiting for Li Qiufeng to speak.Li Qiufeng was shocked, and was about to stop talking, but saw the crowd tumbling and retreating, no one cared what he wanted to say.Fortunately, hundreds of people retreated before, and the crowd was no longer as crowded as before, so all the people turned their heads and fled, but they did not collide with each other.In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand people had fled dozens of steps away, and the entire street became empty.

Humpty Humpty stood with his hands on his hips triumphantly at the street corner.Li Qiufeng stood beside him, and the two guarded the man in yellow robe, the woman in Chinese clothes, and two children, a man and a woman.The official from the Ministry of Rituals stood aside, trembling.Zhang Jin hid behind him, poking his head out from time to time to look at the short fat man.

After a while, I saw Ma San walking out of the crowd tens of steps away with shameless eyebrows, walking in front of the official with an embarrassed face, and just called "Master Wang", the official waved So he slapped him across the face, and cursed viciously: "Slave who abandoned his master, what use do I want you for?!"
