Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 483

What happened later happened so quickly that Li Xin couldn't even recall those details.

She only remembered that at that time she was very clearly watching how the people present were moving.

Standing at the corner, she clearly saw that the door was kicked open from the inside, and five or six burly men swung down at Guan Wen and the others with long and sharp objects in their hands.

Fortunately, Guan Wen dodged quickly, narrowly avoided this time, and reacted quickly and tripped over the foot of the man closest to him, causing him to lose his balance and immediately fell to the ground.

Another person quickly made up for it, and slashed at Guan Wen with a knife in his hand.

Li Xin suddenly let out a scream!
Guan Wen couldn't move.

It was extremely dangerous for him to avoid that time just now, and then he stretched out his leg and tripped one of the thieves. He had an old leg disease, but now he couldn't dodge the knife that this man slashed at him no matter what.

He closed his eyes almost resignedly.

However, in the blink of an eye, he heard Li Xin's scream.

Subconsciously, Guan Wen got the power out of nowhere, and rolled to the side, unexpectedly narrowly avoiding this fatal blow again.

"Guan Wen, knife!"

Sun Hongyan was wrestling with Guan Wu against a thieves, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Guan Wen, however, immediately understood the meaning of his words, picked up the handbag next to him with all his strength and waved it casually a few times to make time for himself, and then scrambled back two steps, just in time to be caught by the villager. The other two strong men filled his gap.

Immediately, a man from the same village helped him out of the circle of fighting with weapons.

Li Xin ran over almost stumbling.

Guan Wen had abrasions on his face, bruises on his legs, and marks on his hands where he had been rubbed against stones when he stepped back.

But these are minor injuries.

It's a minor injury.

Li Xin cried and laughed, beat his chest for a while, and scolded him: "You clearly said that you didn't rush ahead!" After a while, he pulled him and asked him where he was injured, took his hands and blew carefully, His eyes were full of pity.

"I almost thought, almost thought..." Li Xin didn't want to cry, but at that moment, she was really scared.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if Guan Wen really died because of this.

It's ok, everything's ok...

Li Xin hugged Guan Wen, and it took a long time before he said a word: "You scared me to death!"

Guan Wen was frightened to death.

Of course he was afraid of death.

In the past, when he was running the darts, he went on a rampage. It was a fight to risk his life, and he really thought that if he really died in Huangquan while guarding the darts, he would be considered a worthy death.

But now that he has a home, a wife who always misses him, and a lively and lovely child, his happy life has just begun, and there will be decades of good life to live in the future. How can he be willing?

He was reluctant to part with Li Xin, Yang'er, his younger siblings, and this family that had worked so hard to settle down.

He almost died.

I have never been so frightened when walking darts.

Guan Wen hugged Li Xin back, at this moment he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know how to comfort the person in his arms.

He had no choice but to hold her tightly and use his body temperature and strength to tell her that he was still alive and there was no danger of his life.

More than 100 villagers in Hehua Village assembled to deal with a dozen thieves, but it was really difficult, and several villagers were even injured.In the end, they couldn't compete with the number of villagers in Hehua Village, and all the dozen or so thieves were exhausted.With Sun Hongyan's order, these people were all tied up and locked outside the Guan family's old house.

Sun Hongyan had already told people to go to the county government on horseback to report the news, and all the villagers surrounded the Guan family's old house to guard the dozen or so thieves.

They are all tall and strong, with strong bodies.Some of them had scars on their faces and hands, and their eyes were fierce. They looked bloodthirsty at first glance.

Sun Hongyan was sitting on the bench. He was kicked on the leg by a thieves. Just now, he was checked by the doctor. He said that there was no serious problem, but he still needed to rest for a few days.

Sun Hongyan's face was gloomy, and leaning on a wooden stick in one hand, he got up and walked towards the thieves who kicked him, and couldn't help but hit the thieves' legs with the wooden stick.

The man suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a scream of "ah".

"Killing for money, huh?" Sun Hongyan sneered: "Do you think you still have a way out?"

Sun Hongyan retreated back, and greeted the villagers behind: "These people hurt the brothers, before the people from the yamen come, take revenge if you want to take revenge!"

All the villagers immediately rushed forward, kicking and scratching at the thieves without any courtesy.

Li Xin held Guan Wen aside, and asked him in a low voice, "Let's go back..."

"Wait a minute." Guan Wen paused, pointed to one of the dozen or so thieves, and asked Li Xin, "Look at that person...is he the man of Second Sister Qiao?"

Li Xin looked along where Guan Wen pointed, and frowned: "Somewhat similar."

After looking carefully for a while, Li Xin said: "I'm not sure, I only saw this man twice, how can I remember clearly? And look..." Li Xin whispered: "His face was beaten like that, I I can't even recognize it..."

Guan Wen breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on Li Xin's shoulders, paused and said, "Let's go back first, the grandson Hongyan here will know how to deal with it."

When Xu Shi heard Guan Wen call his name, Sun Hongyan turned around, walked towards Guan Wen leaning on a wooden stick, and asked him, "Are you all right?"

"It's nothing." Guan Wen said with a smile, "Thank you very much today. If you hadn't reminded me aloud, I'm afraid I would have to wait to be slaughtered."

"Don't say that." Sun Hongyan waved his hand, glanced at Li Xin, and said, "It's your wife who called your soul back to you."

Guan Wen turned his head to look at Li Xin, his eyes were full of soft light.

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, and carried Guan Wen back.

That night, the lotus village was very lively.

The county lieutenant came to Hehua Village in a mighty manner with a group of yamen servants. Everyone held a torch in their hands, illuminating the old house of the Guan family brightly.

The dozen or so thieves were all captured, and one of them was the man of Second Sister Qiao, the suspect in the Jiuzi Lane murder case that had been raging in Hui County these days.

It was also the person Guan Wen recognized and asked Li Xin for confirmation.

In high spirits, Lu Butou asked the yamen servants to tie up these people, and dragged them back to the yamen one by one.

The county lieutenant is in charge of arresting criminal thieves, and if he is tied up, he won't stay for long.

The conversation on the scene was done by Lu Butou.

Lv BuTou thanked the villagers of Hehua Village and promised to give credit to the thieves, especially to compensate the injured villagers.

In the dark sky, the people of Hehua Village sent the people from the yamen out of the village entrance respectfully.

Then everyone dispersed.

At this time, Li Xin poured medicinal wine and was wiping Guan Wen's legs, helping him massage.Guan Wen half bowed his waist and looked at Li Xin, with a smile on his lips, his eyes unblinking, full of pity.

As soon as Li Xinfu raised his head, he saw Guan Wen's eyes that seemed to drown someone.

She looked rather embarrassed.

Guan Wen stretched out his hand to touch Li Xin's temple, but was interrupted by a light knock on the door.

"Who?"

The door of the main room was ajar, but who would come here at this time?
Guan Wen was secretly vigilant.

"It's me." The person outside the door said: "Brother Guan, open the door, I have something to discuss with you."

This is... the voice of Butou Lu?
Li Xin looked at Guan Wen suspiciously, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and put Guan Wen's trousers down.

Guan Wen said in a deep voice, "The door is open, please come in."

Lu Butou entered in response to the sound, and then closed the door.

He came alone.

"Didn't Catcher Lu take all the officials away?" Li Xin washed his hands and poured water for Catcher Lu, and asked, "The one who came back halfway and asked me to be in charge..."

Lu Butou sighed: "Brother Guan, the murder case in Jiuzi Lane still needs to be discussed with you."

Li Xin's heart skipped a beat.

Guan Wen also sat up straight: "Isn't the man of Second Sister Qiao among those arrested?"

"It's him." Lu Butou said: "He should be the murderer of the Jiuzixiang murder case, but he is also a thieves..." Lu Butou said awkwardly: "The fourth body that was dug up should also be theirs." partner."

"The fourth one?" Li Xin exclaimed suddenly: "Aren't there only three?"

Catcher Lu glanced at her, then at Guan Wen: "Didn't you tell your wife?"

Guan Wen forced a smile, and pulled Li Xin to sit beside him: "Don't be afraid."

Guan Wen said to Lu Butou: "Since this is the case, it should be internal strife."

"Yes, it must be internal strife." Lu Butou nodded: "But the key is... There must always be a reason for internal strife. The county magistrate suspects that the most likely reason is the uneven distribution of spoils. But so far, except for the tribute wine, no other belongings." Lu Butou said: "Maybe Second Sister Qiao still knows something, and she has had enough of being in prison these days, but she still says she doesn't know anything..."

Lu Butou considered for a while, and said: "Only about a dozen people were arrested. It is said that there were no less than a hundred people in that group of thieves. It is still unknown how many people there are in Yizhou. The county magistrate has arrested people and wants to... Take the bait and catch some more thieves."

Guan Wen was startled for a moment.

Lu Butou said: "The magistrate of the county means that the thieves are all murderous lunatics, so you don't need to come out to testify that you heard the screams of the second sister Qiao. With the identity of the thieves, the second sister Qiao is a man. It must have been inevitable."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Butou said again: "But Second Sister Qiao is still not free of suspicion, and it is also possible that the deaths of those people cannot be separated from her."

Lu Bu paused, and said: "So, you still need to go to the town and talk to the magistrate about this in person."

Li Xin immediately stood up and said, "Captain Lu, didn't you say that you don't need him to testify?"

"He doesn't need to be in front of the people of Hui County, he just needs to tell the magistrate." Lu Butou said: "I'm afraid that his identity will be exposed, and other thieves will come to seek revenge in the future... "

"It's your yamen's business to investigate the murderer. Why do you embarrass us ordinary people?" Li Xin immediately refused, "Is it because Second Sister Qiao killed someone? Screams, that's all he knows, what are you doing after you catch him? If you want to investigate, check that dead man, Second Sister Qiao and her man, Ah Wen won't go anywhere!"

Lu Butou suddenly showed two points of embarrassment.
