Chapter 10

"Is it time to harvest?"

Duan Wang heard the words and sighed: "Use other people's fate to complement my own fate. There is no room for retreat in the struggle for the great way."

"I heard that the Huo family is preparing for the ancestor worship once every ten years. I will go there in person tomorrow, and I will take the opportunity to win them over." Duan Wang said thoughtfully.
"The old minister will go with you." There was a gleam in the eyes of the old scholar.
He lost contact with his own treasure dzi bead, and his heart was already burning with anxiety, so he had to go to find out in person.
Chang'an County

wilderness
Huo Taixian stretched out his hand and stripped off the assassin Bai Jiu on the ground. Except for three scrolls and seven small bottles, there was nothing besides.

"Even without money, this fellow is really poor." Huo Taixian looked at Bai Jiu and shook his head involuntarily.

Bai Jiu is very young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with the character 'nine' engraved on his shoulder.

Huo Taixian firmly remembered this face, as long as this person is still alive, the five ghosts will be able to remember the other person's aura, and they can find him by themselves.

A person who is on the list of gods is to him a boy who gives away treasures.

It was only Huo Taixian who put away the scroll, carefully wrapped it in a white shirt and threw it on his back, and then accidentally saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.

At this time, the other party was looking at him with burning eyes.

Wang Tai, the county magistrate of Chang'an, looked at Huo Taixian who fell on the ground to 'touch the corpse', his eyes were full of disbelief.

This is where?

Chang'an City!At the feet of the Son of Heaven!There are still people who dare to commit crimes openly and aboveboard, killing people and seizing treasures?
Lawless!

Simply lawless!
He originally followed the guidance of the map of Jiangshan Sheji, looking for the expert who resolved the crisis in Chang'an County, but who would have thought that when he arrived at the cave, the other party had already left, and only the firewood, rice, oil and salt narrated about the expert in the past. The trail of seclusion.

He was disappointed in his heart, and he was running all over the mountain, wondering whether he could bump into an expert, but who knew that he saw such an unbearable scene.

This place is under the emperor's feet, the emperor rules the land, and it is also the territory of his Chang'an county magistrate, so such a terrible scene happened?
Where was the suffocation that Wang Gaoqiu had eaten before, and suddenly all of them burst out:

"Dare you dare! It's because of you people who are lawless and lawless, that the world is in chaos and the holy way is difficult. Why don't you hurry up and follow me back to the Yamen for punishment?" Wang Tai yelled angrily, and a rope slipped from his sleeve , the rope instantly turned into shackles, bound towards Huo Taixian.

Huo Taixian looked at the official uniform on the other party, and a memory flashed in his mind: "Isn't this the county magistrate of Chang'an? I remember that there was a county magistrate who visited Huo's house back then."

My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of official assessment, and there are countless officials who visit him every day, so I also have some impressions of my predecessor.

And each county magistrate has his own territory, and he is not allowed to leave his post without orders from the emperor.

The other party suddenly appeared here, no doubt it must be the county magistrate of Chang'an.

"My lord, wait a moment. I am the son of Huo Jia, the servant of the Ministry of Public Affairs in Gaojing... We are all one family..." Huo Taixian said hastily.

"Hey! I don't care who you are, not to mention the servant of the official department, even the son of the official minister, you can't harm people in broad daylight. Now that the authentication and physical evidence are all there, no matter how you quibble, I will go to Beijing to participate in the performance You have one, please the emperor punish your crime." Wang Tai's voice was like thunder, and before Huo Taixian could react, he tied him up, then took out a handkerchief and blocked his mouth, obviously he didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore gibberish.

Then, under Huo Taixian's stunned gaze, the other party woke up the naked Bai Jiu on the ground: "This brother, wake up quickly. I am the magistrate of Chang'an County. People, I have been brought to justice now. Please also follow me to the county government for personal identification..."

Hitting the magic whip ignores the body and the way of the gods and hits the soul directly.Bai Jiu was hit by Huo Taixian's whip, his head was broken and his soul was in turmoil. At this time, he woke up in a haze, his brain was a little dizzy.

Hearing Wang Tai's words in a daze, he couldn't help but feel excited: County magistrate?

He has a guilty conscience, and what a killer fears most is that officials will come to his door.

But after all, he has been trained to forcibly hold back the throbbing in his heart, and then try to recover his spirits, recalling Wang Tai's words: Go to the county government to be a witness?What did the dog officer seem to have misunderstood?
"I would like to obey your lord's orders." Bai Jiu said without thinking.

Then Huo Taixian watched the county magistrate greet Bai Jiu and send back the painting scroll that Huo Taixian had taken away:

"This is the treasure that the murderer looted from you before, you should keep it carefully."

How smart is Bai Jiu?

Reaching out to take the scroll, looking at Huo Taixian who was gagged, he had a guess in his heart in an instant, and couldn't help but feel lucky: "Zhi Thief, almost capsized in the gutter, didn't everyone say that Huo's eldest son never stepped into the painting?" Is it the way of a soldier? But fortunately, the identity has not been leaked out. But this place is not where I stayed for a long time, and I need to get out early."

"Are you a painter?" Wang Tai asked.

"Reporting to my lord, I have learned some tricks in Chang'an Painting Academy." Bai Jiu replied while putting away the scroll.

"It's too careless to be plotted against by a child. But when you enter the Chang'an Academy of Painting, you must be a student from a poor family. It's normal to be inferior to the Duke's family. No wonder you." Wang Tai walked in front, shaking his head and trying to make up for himself.

That Baijiu walked behind, looking at Huo Taixian who was being carried by Wang Tai in front, with a fierce look on his face.

But in the face of the county magistrate guarding one side, Bai Jiu didn't dare to be presumptuous after all, countless thoughts turned in his mind, and he followed him.

During this period, Huo Taixian and Bai Jiu looked at each other, and their eyes kept meeting each other. It can be said that the enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Their eyes were like a knife, and they didn't know how many holes they pierced each other.

Bai Jiu followed behind, and made a gesture of wiping his neck at Huo Taixian. Huo Taixian saw smoke coming out of his seven orifices, whimpering continuously in his throat, and Bai Jiu quickly looked away in shock, pretending to be innocent.

All the way to the county government office, there will naturally be officials to greet him.

Without giving Huo Taixian a chance to speak, Wang Tai said directly:

"Throw him into a big prison and keep him under surveillance, without any abuse."

Then he said to Bai Jiu, "Follow me, let's record a statement."

Bai Yu and Huo Taixian looked at each other, and couldn't help but tremble: "You must run away before this kid opens his mouth. Otherwise, when this kid opens his mouth and reveals my identity, I'm afraid I will die without a place to die. I still have to think about it." The best way is to get rid of this county magistrate as soon as possible."

Huo Taixian was thrown into the prison by someone sent by Wang Tai, and he went to accompany Bai Jiu to record his statement.

County government backyard
The county magistrate looked at Bai Jiu and asked him to sit down: "You recorded your statement first, stay here, and I will keep you safe and sound. I have long been uncomfortable with those rich and powerful children in the city of Haojing, so today I will give you a confession no matter what. Bad breath. You can live here with peace of mind, I will never give the Huo family a chance to retaliate against you. "

"Thank you, my lord, I am so grateful to you. The master is the big blue sky, and I kowtow to you. These powerful and powerful people have never looked down on the lives of grassroots like us, and they hunt and kill the grassroots for fun. The master is the big blue sky." Bai Jiu was excited. Kneeling down on the ground, weeping, the performance was so vivid that Wang Tai couldn't bear it, and a burst of anger and sympathy burst out:
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make the decision for you. Even if I don't want to give up this black gauze hat, I will also pull off a layer of skin from that dude."

the other side

The guards took off the shackles and shackles on Huo Taixian, and then pushed him into the dark and smelly prison cell.

Standing in the dark, Huo Taixian's eyes showed a gleam: "What a reckless man! You are a muddled official!"

"But it doesn't matter. At least there is no threat to my life here. The county magistrate will definitely notify my father. As long as my father arrives, I can go out naturally. What I have to do now is to find the method of cultivation as soon as possible, and set foot on the road of painters as soon as possible. Road. The Tianxia Painting Academy refused to accept me, so the goal can only fall on the three major painting academies. It’s just that the threshold for joining the three major painting academies is too high...” Huo Taixian shook his head:

"The most important thing right now is to step into the path of a painter as soon as possible. Due to unknown reasons at home, I can't count on it. If I want to become a painter, I have to figure out a way myself."

Countless thoughts swirled in Huo Taixian's mind, and suddenly he couldn't help his heart: "Yes!"

"Although this muddled official is muddled, he is not afraid of power. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will not show mercy."

"In the official yamen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as you become a servant, you can get the opportunity to become a painter."

There was a gleam in Huo Taixian's eyes: "If I can stay in Chang'an County, even if I am only the most ordinary and ordinary catcher, I still have the hope of becoming a painter."

One must know that there are not only painting academies in this world, but also countless masters of painting hiding among the people and in government offices.

Huojia
Xiaochunzi rushed into Huo's house crying and howling, which immediately alarmed the young and old of Huo's family.

"Master, it's not good! It's not good! The young master was assassinated! The young master was assassinated in Chang'an."

"What? What did you say?" The eldest lady Murong Qiu was shocked when she heard the words, and her eyes were red when she saw Xiao Chunzi who barged in.

"Ma'am, the young master was assassinated, where is the elder?" Xiaochunzi cried.

"Follow me quickly. Follow me to see the master." Murong Qiu said quickly, got up and hurriedly walked towards the study in the front yard.

That Huo Jia was teaching a couple of children to paint, seeing Murong Qiu who broke in, and Xiao Chunzi who was crying, when he heard that Huo Taixian was stabbed, he was shocked and left without saying a word.

Huo Taixian was right as expected, Huo Jia came very fast. Originally, Huo Jia had already left for Chang'an when he heard Xiao Chunzi said that Huo Taixian had been assassinated. When he arrived at the boundary of Chang'an, the scroll on his body suddenly shook. Huo Jia opened the scroll, It just so happened that the county magistrate of Chang'an issued a document to hold him accountable.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Huo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, since his son fell into the yamen, it means nothing happened.At least you don't have to worry about being killed by an assassin.

"It's just that Wang Tai, the county magistrate of Chang'an...why did he mess with him?" Huo Jia looked at the message with a headache.

This Wang Tai was definitely the most unusual existence in the Great Zhou Dynasty.For all the nobles, they all shy away from them like snakes, scorpions and beasts.

It's just a headache. My son has fallen into the hands of others, so I have to go.

Falling into the hands of the county government is at least better than being killed by an assassin.

So Huo Jia went directly to Chang'an County Yamen.
