Chapter 61 Flogging

As the owner of the market building, Huang Qiu, of course, got the news immediately. He had already passed the turmoil, so he had no burden in his heart, and he really drank a lot of wine.When he heard that Xie Liang was captured by Ou Xiong, he was hanged at the Dongshi Gate and whipped, so terrified that he couldn't hold the wine glass and fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that Huang Qiudu was so unbearable, the city clerk became even more uneasy, and asked in a trembling voice, "Jun Jun, what should we do?"

Huang Qiu's thin and fleshless face couldn't hide the look of panic. He barely calmed down and asked, "Is Liu Shi currently in the market building? Did you inform him?"

After receiving the affirmative reply from the city official, Huang Qiu felt at ease, and after considering it for a while, he said, "I'm not feeling well today, so you go and tell Liu Shi, and he will take full responsibility for this matter."

The city clerk ordered to exit the room and closed the door. Before he could go downstairs, he heard the sound of the latch falling from the door. You don't need to ask, you can know that Huang Qiu locked the door from the inside.

"...!" The mayor looked at the tightly closed door, stunned.

Huang Qiu's reaction did not exceed Liu Jing's expectations. The Ou family relied on force and was arrogant and domineering. Although Huang Qiu was a descendant of the Huang family from the Linxiang clan, he did not dare to offend Ou Xiong easily.

In the entire Linxiang, those who dared to confront the Qu clan head-on were only the Liu clan, the Huan clan, and the Wu clan.

Needless to say, the Liu family and the Huan family are the descendants of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

It's better for Huang Qiu to be in the cell, so that Liu Jing can do whatever he wants, he asked the city official, "How many people are there around Qu Xiong?"

The city official tremblingly said: "There are about 30 people, all of whom are swift and fierce."

When Liu Jing heard that there were only 30 to [-] people, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, but Ou Xiong had hundreds of diners, it would be difficult to bring them all.But this is also reasonable. Hundreds of warriors armed with weapons and fearless of life and death have already been able to attack the county mansion. Who would dare to let them into Linxiang?

"Dozens of frivolous people dare to come to the market to show off their power and flog the city officials. This is to treat me like nothing." Liu Jing shook his head and ordered: "Zijin, hurry up and gather the city officials and follow me to rescue Xie. history."

There were only a dozen officers in the city building, and even with the pavilion and city jailers, the number was still less than that of the district hero. In order to increase his confidence, Liu Jing assigned an officer to go to Shibei District to find Liu Zong's slave Zhou Wei and let him Bring someone to help.

Both Ma Zhou and the city officials should "promise" and leave.

Liu Jing said to Du Xi and Zhuge Liang again: "Brother, Kong Ming, I'm sorry, I can't entertain you today, we will meet again another day."

Du Xi stroked his short mustache and said with a big laugh, "There's nothing left or right, I'll follow you to see that domineering Ou Yuanbo."

Zhuge Liang put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "The words of the eldest brother are exactly what I want."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "This is an official business, how can you involve the eldest brother and Kong Ming?"

Du Xi waved his sleeves and said, "It's useless to talk too much, Zhongda will lead the way."

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

Liu Jing was very moved in his heart, and said sanely, "Okay! The eldest brother and Kong Ming will come with me to meet the Au clan's clown."

"good."

Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang, and Du Xi walked down the market building. At this time, the city officials were all gathered in the hall. Although they were holding swords and shields, their expressions were flustered. It was not until they saw Liu Jing that their hearts calmed down a little.

Liu Jing's eyes were bright, and he looked at the officials one by one, and said loudly: "Xie Shi enforced the law, there is no fault, just because the prisoner was Ou Yuanbo's guest, he was flogged and humiliated in public by the other party. It's really tolerable. Unbearable!"

Ma Zhou looked rebellious, and angrily drew his sword and said: "Liu Jun just orders it, I have long wanted to meet the famous Ou Yuanbo. If he dares to disrespect Liu Jun, no one else is needed, I will personally kill this thief under the sword. !"

All the officials in the city hall looked at Ma Zhou with admiration in their eyes. Not to mention the market, even in Linxiang County, and even in the entire Changsha County, no one dared to clamor for killing Ou Yuanbo.

"Strong, Zijin." Liu Jing was very fortunate to have such a brave and fearless person with high martial arts skills by his side, who could greatly boost his morale.He said solemnly: "Ou Yuanbo is small in stature, but he is famous in Changsha for his strength. Zijin must not underestimate him."

Ma Zhou was full of confidence in himself and threatened: "I want to kill him easily."

Liu Jing asked again: "The other party has a lot of people, Zijin, aren't you afraid?"

Ma Zhou laughed and said, "I, Ma Zhou, have never been afraid of anything since I was born."

Liu Jing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very good, Zijin, you open the way for us to wait."

Ma Zhou answered the order and stepped out of the market first, with him in front of him, the officials felt a little more confident, and followed closely behind.

Du Xi nodded to Liu Jing and said: "This son is brave and righteous, he can be a pioneer."

Zhuge Liang said from the side: "Zhou, you are very careful. Looking at his actions, the person who gave him the words can be regarded as well-intentioned."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "This is the word I picked for him a while ago."

"No wonder." Zhuge Liang suddenly said.

While talking, the three stepped out of the market building.

The radius of the market is only a few hundred paces, and the market building is closer to the Dongshi Gate. On the way, the pavilion chief came to meet him with seven or eight pavilion soldiers. This person obviously didn't dare to go ahead and waited here for Liu Jing.

Liu Jing didn't care about his little thought. What made him happy was that the number of people on his side finally broke through the twenty mark.

On the other side, Xie Liang was tied with his hands and feet and hung at the Dongshi Gate. He was beaten by Ou Xiong no less than [-] times.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the whip like a poisonous snake was reprinted on Xie Liang's back. Xie Liang screamed and begged for mercy, but because he had already shouted hoarse before, the people below couldn't hear him at all. what.

Most of the people in the city gathered here, and someone in the crowd whispered: "Uncle Qu Yuan really has no law in his eyes, isn't he afraid of Lord Zhang's punishment for his crime?"

Someone replied: "What is he afraid of? It's a big deal to hide after the event, and when the emperor grants amnesty to the world in the first month of next year, he can come back struttingly, and no one can do anything about him."

When the emperor ascended the throne, he has maintained an amnesty for the world once a year.Before him, King Hongnong had only been on the throne for half a year, and he pardoned the world twice.The previous Hanling Emperor reigned for 22 years and pardoned the world [-] times.

How many wicked people have been exempted from punishment because of this, and they are simply treating the law as a child's play. Isn't this a sign of the country's subjugation?

"Uncle Qu Yuan acted so capriciously, is it so difficult that no one can subdue him?" The man did not dare to say these words.

Someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the city officials are here, and Liu Jun is here too..."

"Can Liu Jun control Yuanbo in the residential area?" Everyone couldn't help thinking.
