Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220 How dare you slander Mr. Xu
"Kuang kuang! The lake bandits are here, kill the lake bandits!" A group of people came from the east, including strong men of the people, yamen servants and jailers, and almost all Wugong people from a county came, holding gongs, drums, and sticks , Hulala~
"Look, Master Sun is there!"

"Quick! Surround them..."

Hundreds of people surrounded Xu Qing and the others, but they dared not go forward because Sun Youcai had a steel knife on his neck.

Sun Youcai was not being honest with a knife on his neck, so he said harshly to Xu Qing: "Hmph, you dare to kill me? You kill me, and see if they don't tear you into pieces and die together. Do you dare, do you dare, do you dare?" ?" Sun Youcai said "Do you dare" three times and threw it out.

furious!Incomparably rampant!Xu Qing laughed loudly, raised his knife and dropped it!
"No!" Everyone around Xu Qing shouted, and Sun Youcai also closed his eyes with a look of disbelief, but Xu Qing's knife turned quietly, turned the back of the knife downward, and hit Sun Youcai on the head.Even though it was the back of the knife, it didn't kill Sun Youcai, but still smashed him and left him bleeding.

"Bold and unruly people, actually kidnapping rich businessmen and beating good people in broad daylight!" A voice sounded from behind the people surrounding Xu Qing.Everyone hurriedly said, the second master is here.

Xu Qing looked up, and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man with his nostrils upturned, pacing forward, with an expression that everyone present was trash.

"My officer, the magistrate of Qiantang County, I heard that there are a large number of lake bandits making trouble here. Could it be that you are the only one?"

"You are……"

"Come on! Take this dog!" The county magistrate didn't allow Xu Qing to speak any more, and ordered his subordinates to arrest Xu Qing immediately.Xu Qing lifted the knife, pointed at Sun Youcai who was lying on the ground, and said, "Who dares?"

"A lone lake bandit is so rampant!" the county magistrate scolded.

"Which of your dog eyes can see that I am a lake bandit?"

"Is it a lake bandit? I have been an official for many years, so I can see through it at a glance. You can't fool me..." The county magistrate sneered, and reasoned with him. Bandit, you have not been wronged, it will be clear at a glance when you arrive at the county government."

Xu Qing was stunned.This is a trick of torture. If it were someone else today, maybe they would really fall here. Xu Qing remembered the matter of the old boatman's son.

The knife in his hand was tight, and it looked like it was about to chop down, everyone couldn't help but stop, they came here to save Sun Youcai, it's really not easy to be reckless now that they have the handle in their hands.

"Why? You don't listen to what I say?" The county magistrate said unanimously, everyone listened, you looked at me, I looked at you, but still didn't dare to make a move.Sun Youcai just woke up at this time, and he couldn't help being startled when he heard everyone talking about "I can't save Master Sun".Glancing at the county magistrate, he cursed weakly: "Okay, good old bastard, I'm still fucking alive, you've got my family's attention, thanks to me, thanks to me for giving you a lot of money these years! "

"Oh? Master Sun is still angry?" The county magistrate pretended to misunderstand, and then said: "That hero is an old man on the road, why don't you do things so desperately?"

"Hahaha, you have two mouths when you say official words, no matter what you say, you are right, that's right..." Xu Qing laughed.

"Since you know this, why don't you let Master Sun go and capture him without a fight?"

"Hahaha, I'll catch them without a fight?" Xu Qing couldn't stop laughing, as long as he gave an order, these people could be cleaned up within 10 minutes, but Xu Qing felt that those public servants were innocent and couldn't bear to take their lives, let alone expose them underground river.

"Could it be that I can't catch him without my hands?" The magistrate smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you send Master Sun back, I will let you go safely."

Xu Qing thought about it for a while, and said to Yang Cheng: "Send Master Sun there?"

"Well..."

"No, don't..." At this time, Sun Youcai was not happy, he begged Xu Qing: "Don't send me there, tell you, he will not let you go."

"Oh? Why is Mr. Sun unwilling to go to his place? What's the matter?" Xu Qing lowered his head and asked, Sun Youcai snorted and said, "The gangster's open robbery, the official's secret robbery, this time I fell into the trap." Isn't he going to peel off a layer of skin in his hand?"

The county magistrate was furious when he heard this, stepped forward and scolded: "You old man, a money fanatic, I like your little money? You brought someone to rescue you with good intentions, but you..."

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? People from the rivers and lakes cut weeds and root out the roots. If you fall into trouble, the land will be scraped away. My surname is Xu, Brother Xu, brother, I will share the family wealth with you equally, Wanmo hand me over to him!"

"Hey, what did Mr. Sun say, are you confused?" The county magistrate sneered, then turned around and said to the crowd: "Master Sun is so threatened..."

At first, the county magistrate moved forward a few steps excitedly, then turned his head here again, and for a moment his back was exposed in front of Xu Qing and Yang Cheng.Yang Cheng's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He jumped forward with his back bent, and his arms clamped around the county magistrate.

"Scared! Bold thief!" The people surrounding Xu Qing all took a step forward and clenched their sticks tightly.

"Who dares to move?!" Xu Qing shouted loudly.

"You, you, you, if you want to rebel, I am the official of the imperial court!" The county magistrate was choked, and shouted hoarsely.

Everything was in the blink of an eye, Xu Qing and Yang Cheng pinched each other's leader, the so-called local snake, that's all it is, right?

Sun Youcai couldn't help sneering, and as Xu Qing and the others slowly backed away while dragging the water ghost that fell to the ground, it seemed that they were very cooperative.

Back to the gate, a rope and other things were thrown out from behind the gate, and Sun Youcai and the three were tied together, holding a knife against each other, and staring at the gentlemen.

The public also panicked. They failed to catch the thief, but were caught by the thief. Even if they were small shrimps and would not be held accountable, it would still be a joke to speak out.

Sun Youcai was also thinking of a way at this time, and suddenly his head lit up, hey, isn't this Xu Qing having a good relationship with the county magistrate Chen Yili, why don't you invite him to do it?Sun Youcai knew that Chen Yili was not the same as the county magistrate, he was a "rotten" scholar, he didn't know how to take dirty money, and he had to solicit sponsorship for a literary conference.He is also a foreigner with no roots in the local area. Even if he wanted to do something to the Sun family's business, he would not be able to take a few bites.He is a businessman, so he naturally knows that buying and selling will make a profit, and after a little mental calculation, he made a decision.

"Xu, Brother Xu, can I discuss something with you?"

"Oh?" Xu Qing just didn't know what to do with these three people, so he nodded and said, "Tell me something quickly."

Sun Youcai smiled wryly: "Hey, brother Xu, you think it's better to settle enemies than to end them. Why don't you take a step back and ask Mr. Chen to do the notarization. Mr. Chen, you know that he's a gentleman. If you let him do it, you can trust him."

The county magistrate was not happy: "No, Chen Yili is a stubborn person. If he comes, the matter can only be big, not small."

The first and second in command are dissatisfied everywhere, and the county magistrate does not want Chen Yili to see himself in such a mess, and he is even less willing to let him grasp something.

It is a big taboo to kidnap court officials and seemingly good people and wealthy businessmen.But, Xu Qing is the governor and the uncle, so it can also be said that he is giving a lesson to the lower officials and scolding the local unruly people. Although this is more than a substitute, it is not a big deal.

One thing Xu Qing didn't know was that Shangguanyi had brought Chen Yili to visit quietly, and was already on the way, and might arrive in a blink of an eye.He didn't know that Chen Yili had already admired him so much and knew his identity, so he couldn't be sure.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Qing suddenly felt very troublesome. It would be great if he secretly slaughtered the two of them at the beginning of last night.You can't do this anymore, you have to be more decisive.

He was hesitating, but when the officials heard about Sun Youcai's method, they all thought about it, thinking that there was no other way, and secretly went back to invite the "Tathagata Buddha".

After thinking about it for about a stick of incense, the county magistrate suddenly sneered and asked, "Hmph, why, it's not easy, right? Kill me, for fear that the imperial court will send troops to suppress the bandits, and your gang of disciples and grandchildren will not pass by. Don't kill me , and I am afraid that I will report my flaws in the future, and I will still trouble you."

"It's really difficult, alas..." Xu Qing sighed, and said to Yang Cheng: "Beat him, I just got inspiration, and I was quarreled by him."

A few miles away, Chen Yili and Shangguanyi were discussing something.Chen Yili blamed Shangguanyi for being slow in getting up and delaying the time to visit Xu Qing. Shangguanyi explained that it would be difficult for Xu Qing to push people out if he went later.If you save it for a meal, it will be too late, maybe you can stay for one night, it will be a big face.Chen Yili suddenly realized, but saw another person walking hurriedly on the road, wearing khaki clothes, with the word "pawn" written on the front.This is exactly how the jailer is dressed, but why did the jailer come here?

The jailer happened to retreat from the side of Xu Qing's mansion to invite Chen Yili, but he did not expect to go the same way with him.

Chen Yili didn't have time to ask in the future, but the jailer recognized him from a long distance away, rushed over, knelt down and said, "I beg the Eldest Master to save the Second Master!"

"Second Master?"

"That's right. There are lake bandits making trouble ahead. The second master took people to arrest him, but he was arrested instead. It's just around the corner."

"Okay, take me there quickly!" Chen Yili knew that the matter was important, and asked as he walked, "Are there many bandits in the lake? Is the second master injured?"

"There are only two lake bandits, and the second master is not injured." The jailer said quickly.

"That's good," Chen Yili started to run, and Shangguanyi also became confused, puzzled, but he had a very strong premonition in his heart, did that guy Xu Qing cause trouble?So also three steps and two steps.

Walking to the place they saw, the two heard wailing coming from the door.

"Ah~" The county magistrate's butt blossomed and scolded Xu Qing, so the flower bloomed even bigger.The public servants next to him were in a hurry, they didn't dare to come forward to rescue them, they were afraid that Xu Qing would kill the county magistrate if he was not careful, and they would have to bear the responsibility when it was over.So one by one persuaded, stop scolding, stop scolding.

The county magistrate was also annoyed, and said to the public: "Come on, kill the lake bandits, don't take me into consideration!"

"Master is here!"

Yang Cheng stopped the stick, and together with Xu Qing, they looked at Chen Yili and Shangguanyi who were rushing forward.

"You, you, you..." Chen Yili pointed in front of him as he walked, not knowing what to say.The county magistrate thought it was because of his injustice, but he didn't expect that this boss, whom he didn't like, would think of him so much at this moment.The county magistrate looked at Chen Yili moved, but Chen Yili reprimanded him:

"Bastard! You actually slandered Mr. Xu as a lake bandit!"
