Tibetan beads

Chapter 113
Xu Yin was woken up when he was half asleep.

"What time is it?" She rubbed her forehead and asked.

Xiao Man, who was dozing off beside the bed, woke up suddenly, poked his head out to have a look, and replied, "Miss, it's almost noon."

Xu Yin calculated in his heart, and slept for almost three hours, which was barely enough.

"Then get up."

"Oh."

There was a lot of noise outside, and when he found Xu Yin going downstairs, Wei Jun rushed over immediately: "Miss San, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xu Yin was expressionless: "Do you think I can still fall asleep after arguing like this?"

Wei Jun smiled embarrassingly.

He had dark circles under his eyes, and he must have gotten up to deal with things after not sleeping long in the morning.

Seeing his diligence, Xu Yin's tone softened: "What's going on?"

The door of the inn was closed, and there was a heavy knock from time to time, accompanied by shouts of "open the door".

"It's from the county government." Wei Jun didn't care, "He said he wanted to bring the criminals back for interrogation."

Xu Yin let out an "oh" and asked him, "Did you reveal your identity?"

Wei Jun nodded: "They are determined to take the prisoner away."

Xu Yin smiled: "Bold."

Knowing that hundreds of gangsters have been massacred by them one-sidedly, they dare to come here to fight for credit—or to finish it off, really brave.

While the two were talking, Yan Ling and Xu Ze came down together.

There were no spare rooms in the inn, and the two of them slept together.

"Third Sister!" Xu Ze called out, then turned around and asked, "What happened?"

"Eldest Prince." Wei Jun saluted and explained the matter, "...that's it."

Xu Ze was furious: "It's really unreasonable! There are bandits and bandits in the county. It's not because they are incompetent. If they come to ask someone like this, what do we think?"

Xu Yin agreed, frowning angrily: "Brother is right. We were invited to be guests, and if we encountered bandits in their jurisdiction, even the king of Dongjiang would have to apologize. A mere county magistrate is still here with us. It's playing tricks in front of you!"

Seeing her approval, Xu Ze was very happy, and continued: "That's right, we never blamed them, and dared to come here to act wildly, it's really rude!"

"That's right!" Xu Yin raised his head, his expression brought out the arrogance of the past, "What do you think we are? A poor family who let them bully? If you don't teach them a lesson, you won't know how to live or die!"

Xu Ze's emotions were aroused, and he was filled with righteous indignation: "We should teach them a lesson, otherwise we, Nanyuan, will be treated as soft persimmons to be squeezed, and even the eldest sister will be underestimated!"

Xu Yin really didn't expect this reason. Since Xu Ze thought about it first, she followed suit: "Isn't it? My sister is a distinguished guest invited by the King of Dongjiang. Hurting and drinking, when we get to Jiangdu, people will definitely talk about it, and I don't know how those people will arrange it!"

When Xu Ze heard this, he immediately became angry.As the only male of the Xu family's generation, with three younger sisters under him, he naturally has a strong sense of responsibility.Hearing that my younger sister would be teased by others, I expressed my attitude without hesitation: "Third sister, tell me, how do you teach them a lesson?"

Xu Yin smiled and motioned for him to come over.

……

Outside the inn, the local county magistrate sat under a tree, fanning the wind while listening to the yamen servant call the door.

"General, it is our county government's responsibility to suppress the bandits. We have been investigating this Qingfeng village for a long time, and I ask the general to hand over the prisoner for convenience."

"You worked hard last night, General. You escorted the young master all the way. You must have been very tired. I heard that the bandits killed and injured hundreds of people. It is very troublesome to deal with so many corpses. Why don't you leave it to the subordinates!"

"General, I'm sorry to ask you to be involved in killing bandits. If you have to bother you even to clean up the mess, the prince will punish you severely if he finds out."

There was a steady stream of voices, and he said everything softly and hard, but the door of the inn was always closed tightly, and there was not even a reply.

The county lieutenant wiped off his sweat and came back to report: "My lord, they don't respond at all, what should we do?"

The county magistrate was already restless, and the weather was cold tomorrow, but his forehead was sweating layer upon layer.

He replied angrily: "What else can I do? If you don't come out, keep calling the door!"

The county lieutenant looked embarrassed, and persuaded tactfully: "My lord, let me tell you something, these people are not easy to deal with. There were a lot of bandits last night, but you see, hundreds of people were almost killed. If we really do it, just relying on our subordinates, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand up to it."

The county magistrate disapproved: "Do it? Don't worry, they don't dare! Miss Xu wants to be the concubine, and the Xu family has no time to please our prince, so why would they do anything to us?"

This statement sounds reasonable at first glance, but the county captain always felt that something was wrong.If the Xu family really wanted to please the prince, why didn't they open the door after shouting for so long?

Seeing him procrastinating, the county magistrate was unhappy, and said, "Why don't you understand? Miss Xu's family was invited to a banquet, but encountered bandits in our county. If this matter is brought up in front of the prince, in order to appease the Xu family, we will They will be held accountable. But if we take over the case, we can turn the blame on them."

The county lieutenant suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this!"

The county magistrate glared at him: "Hurry up and get to work if you know!" Slowly, what should I do if things get messed up?
The county lieutenant should be, returned to the door of the inn, just about to continue knocking on the door, suddenly the door opened.He almost fell into it, but managed to catch the guard in time to gain a firm footing.

The gate was opened, and the person standing in the middle this time was not the guard in the morning, but a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dignified appearance and a cold expression.

He glanced over, landed on the county lieutenant, and asked coldly: "Are you the chief political officer here?"

Seeing this, the county magistrate quickly got up and came over, saluting: "The next official is the local county magistrate, how dare you ask, but Mr. Xu?"

Xu Ze nodded and said, "Since you are, then let me ask you, why call the door?"

The county magistrate replied with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I heard that you met bandits last night. The county was very shocked, so I specially brought someone over to help."

However, Xu Ze sneered, "Are you helping, or are you destroying the evidence?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and doubts floated on his face: "What do you mean by Mr. Xu?"

Xu Ze winked to the back, and threw a bunch of weapons in front of the county magistrate.

Xu Ze squinted at him, knocking on the folding fan, and said, "Bandit? Where do bandits form an army, and there are such refined weapons?"

Upon receiving his gaze, the county magistrate was startled, and his face gradually turned pale: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean..."

Xu Ze snorted, and said, "Since your Excellency is here, I just want to ask the King of Dongjiang on behalf of my uncle. The prince invited his sister to the banquet, but allowed others to pretend to be robbers and rob and kill him. What does it mean? He wants to tell me Yuan declared war?!"

　Finally got stuck.Try it tomorrow and see if you can update it sooner.
