The last three kingdoms

Chapter 17

The sun was slanting to the west, Liu Yin and Xue Wu walked side by side, Chen Guanshi led the horse and followed behind, the mountain road was steep, and he couldn't ride a horse.

"Dare to ask girl, where is your home?" Liu Yin asked, since Liu Yin wanted to send her home, he naturally had to ask her where she lived.

Xue Wu pointed to the west of Qingcheng Mountain and said: "My family lives in Baiyunling."

Baiyun Ridge is behind Qingcheng Mountain, that is, in the depths of the mountain. Liu Yin said softly, "Who else is there in the girl's family? Girl is alone, going up the mountain to collect medicine, isn't the family worried?"

Xue Wu's bright and big eyes carried a bit of melancholy, she sighed softly, and said: "There is only my father in my family, who is over sixty years old, and my father is a doctor. With a broken leg, I am unable to move, so I will do all the medicine gathering. It's just... I'm afraid I have to go back empty-handed today."

Liu Yin was silent. As a child of the royal family, he naturally would not appreciate the hardships of the common people at the bottom. The girl Xue Wu was alone, climbing between the cliffs, just to dig some herbs for a living. Wolves, tigers and leopards The bandits are powerful, almost struggling on the line of life and death, Liu Yin really doesn't know how her delicate shoulders can bear so many heavy responsibilities, probably this is life.

To go west, they had to cross the back mountain of Qingcheng. When they had just walked halfway, they suddenly saw figures scurrying in front of them. A dozen people rushed out from the forest, holding sharp knives, blocking the way.

Along the way, Liu Yin has long been on guard. Whether Liu Xun is really willing to gamble and admit defeat, or whether he will hide other evil thoughts, Liu Yin has no idea in his heart. Huang Youlin's weird smile when he left seemed to have some kind of conspiracy. That's why he took the initiative to escort Xue Wu down the mountain. When he saw someone blocking the way, Liu Yin immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to protect Xue Wu in front of him.

Looking at the attire of this group of people, the uniform official uniforms, they are obviously not robbers and robbers. Since they are members of the official family, Liu Yin naturally equated them with Liu Xun. Unexpectedly, Liu Xun is so despicable, so he turned his face. Don't admit it, it's no different from his usual style.

Liu Yin snorted coldly, when Liu Yin faced Liu Xun at the top of Qingcheng Mountain, he didn't back down even half a step, no matter what tricks Liu Xun used, he would never succeed.

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of high-pitched and hearty laughter from behind the crowd, the swordsmen quickly flashed out, and a young man in brocade official uniform came out from behind the crowd, his age was at best in his early twenties, But he was pacing in the official steps, with his hands behind his back, with a big belly, and he looked old-fashioned.

Needless to say, this guy is also a typical second-generation ancestor. He is a middle-aged man who is fat, but he is a teenager. He is at least six hundred stones in the official position when he is young and crowned. He didn't kill Liu Yin because of the merits of his ancestor I don't believe it either.

As for why Liu Yin could tell at a glance that he was an official of six hundred shi, that was in the Han Dynasty when the official rank was all on the waist.The seals and ribbons of the Han Dynasty were divided into four grades: the purple ribbon with a gold seal for Sangong, the green ribbon with a silver seal for more than [-] stones, the black ribbon with a copper seal for more than [-] stones, and the yellow ribbon with a copper seal for less than [-] stones.The fat young man was wearing a black ribbon around his waist, at least an official position of six hundred shi.

The fat young man was smiling, but in Liu Yin's eyes, this guy's smile was so cheap, he shouted at Liu Yin: "The lieutenant's mansion sent officials to handle the case, idlers and others, back off immediately! Look!" What do you think, what about you—it's you, the guy with the sword, what's the matter, do you want to resist the king's law?"

Liu Yin didn't back down, and he wouldn't give in easily until he knew their true origin and purpose. "How many are the officers of the Lieutenant's Mansion, do you have any certificates?"

The fat young man looked Liu Yin up and down. In the city of Chengdu, few people questioned their authority. The Lieutenant's Mansion was in charge of the duties of patrolling, banning violence, and supervising rape inside and outside the capital. It had a lot of power, which naturally made these people arrogant.

"Hey, boy, you came out of there, and dare to question Lao Tzu's authority? Well, I might as well let you grow eyes, you really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" He said, from He took out a copper token from his bosom, knocked it on Liu Yin's sword a few times, and made a loud clang, "See, the badge issued by the Lieutenant's Mansion was issued by Mr. Jinwu himself. My name is Zhang Le , Lieutenant Zuofu, the subordinate of Lieutenant Youcheng, will be replaced as a fake! How about it, do you have any objections?"

"The next common people, for example, come to obey the law and obey the law, but I don't know what is the intention of the messengers to stop us?"

Zhang Le chuckled, and said: "I have already said that, idlers, etc., all stand back. If you dare to obstruct this officer's handling of the case, you will be severely punished. Why, don't you understand people's words?"

Liu Yin put away his sword, cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I will take my leave." As he spoke, he ignored those officials and called Xue Wu to leave quickly.

"Wait." Zhang Le stretched out his hand to stop her, saying, "She can't leave!"

Liu Yin asked coldly, "Why?"

"Don't do your business, you'd better stay away." Zhang Le directly ignored Liu Yin, and looked up and down Xue Wu with a smile, his face full of wretchedness.

"Little beauty, my brothers have been watching you for several days, how about you, come with us to the Lieutenant's Mansion?"

Xue Wu looked terrified, flustered and pale, and subconsciously hid behind Liu Yin.

Liu Yin was furious, just now when Zhang Le showed his token, Liu Yin believed it was true that they were here to handle the case, never thought that they would speak the same tone as Liu Xun Huangyou, Liu Yin had already concluded that they were in the same group, Zhang Le and the lieutenants The official of the government must be appointed by Liu Xun to sell dog meat under the guise of a sheep, to handle the case for the official on the surface, but in fact he is serving Liu Xun, deceiving the world and stealing his name!
"Zhang Duwei, you must have been sent by Liu Xun, right?" Liu Yin sneered.

Zhang Le snorted, and said contemptuously: "Can you also mention the name of Xinxing King? It is a crime of disrespect to speak rudely, boy, do you know that, based on this, you and your three clans are not Too much!"

"The Yi tribe? What a big tone, I'm afraid you have the heart but not the guts!" Liu Yin replied with a sneer.

A joke, the Yi tribe?Among the three clans, but including the current emperor, let me lend you ten guts to try?At this moment Liu Yin already believed that they and Liu Xun were in the same group, since that was the case, there was no need to be polite to them.

Zhang Le laughed back in anger, no matter how you looked at his fat face, he had a sinister expression.

"It's been a long time since no one dared to talk to me like this. Well, boy, you have the guts! However, after entering the prison of the Lieutenant's Mansion, I hope you can still have the same guts! Come, get me!"
