Julu, Quyang.
The city gate was open, and chaotic sounds could be heard constantly coming from inside.
The violent sound of horse hooves made the entire city tremble uncontrollably, and screams, begging for mercy, and crying could be heard from time to time.
Many sounds played together, making the people of Quyang tremble with fear.
The green lion raised its four hooves, and at that moment, it seemed to fly. Liu Taozi on the horse bent down, and the long sword in his hand shone with cold light.
Time seems to have frozen.
The scholar's eyes widened with fear, and he slowly raised the sword in his hand.
Liu Taozi stared coldly at the scholar in front of him, and the sword in his hand slowly moved towards his neck.
The Huaqing Sword just hit the opponent's neck, and then moved his body little by little. Blood beads flew up and sprinkled around. Huaqing seemed to be constantly changing its trajectory.
The Huaqing Sword came out from the other side of the neck, splattering some blood drops.
The head slowly flew up.
It's like in a moment.
The green lion jumped up and landed quickly, only to see a flash of cold light.
Liu Taozi had already arrived at the other end on horseback, and the headless body collapsed.
Liu Taozi wiped the blood on her sword and looked up straight ahead.
Gao Yanzong stared in this direction dumbfounded, and when he saw Liu Taozi looking at him, he quickly showed a kind smile and rushed over on horseback. There were several heads hanging on the left and right of his horse.
This is an alley. From the left and right, you can see knights charging with spears. Some people are running away in a hurry, or shouting for mercy.
Gao Yanzong seemed to be tired. He panted, took off his water bag, took a big mouthful, and then handed it to Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi shook her head.
Gao Yanzong looked at the situation around him and grinned, "Let's see if these idiots dare to rebel again!!"
"I ordered a thorough investigation across the state. The whole state obeyed, but these people refused!"
"Now no one in Dingzhou dares to oppose me!"
Gao Yanzong was quite proud, the eyes on his small round face were narrowed into lines, and his eyes could not be seen at all.
"I just don't dare to do it openly."
Gao Yanzong was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why, do they still dare to oppose secretly?"
"We have killed so many people here. Aren't they afraid?"
Liu Taozi said nothing.
At this moment, two knights came flying from a distance, and they threw one of them in front of Gao Yanzong, "Your Majesty, just now this man sneaked to the city gate to peek, and was captured by us."
The man quickly raised his head and cried: "Your Majesty! It's me! It's me!"
Gao Yanzong looked at him for a moment and said, "You look familiar to me."
"I am Zhou Xizi, the state official!"
"Um?"
"You have whipped me before"
"Oh, I remembered it! Zhou Xizi!"
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing Gao Yanzong's question, Zhou Xizi hurriedly said: "Lu Biejia asked me to come. He asked me to tell the king and ask the king to lead Liu Taozi and others back to Zhending quickly. I heard that the temple sent an angel to summon the king and Liu. male."
Gao Yanzong was overjoyed and looked at Liu Taozi aside, "This must be to reward me!"
Liu Taozi stared at Zhou Xizi in front of him, but saw something like a smile but not a smile on his face.
Liu Taozi nodded, "That's definitely the case."
Gao Yanzong looked around and said, "Ming Jin!! Retreat the troops!!"
"I want to get back to my true determination!!"
Anping County.
Prefect Lu was sitting in the room, frowning, looking at Lu Zhuangzhi in front of him, hesitating and saying nothing.
Lu Zhuangzhi advised: "Brother, you can't hesitate any longer. This is a great good thing!"
"If we can do it, you and I will become famous all over the world immediately."
Governor Lu looked at the fanatical Lu Zhuangzhi and asked suspiciously: "Brother Xian, you are usually the most steady, why are you so impatient today?"
"No matter how you say it, King Ande is still a member of the royal family. As for Liu Taozi, I'm afraid he also has a great background."
"Now that you say you want to reprimand him, scold him, and report his crimes to the angels, aren't you afraid that King Ander will kill you on the spot? Aren't you afraid of angering the people behind them??"
Lu Zhuangzhi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother, it's like this. We have received the accurate message. The angel came this time to arrest these two people. The temple even sent Han warriors to protect them. Isn't this enough? Explain the situation?"
"If you do something without knowing the consequences, it is a reckless act. But now that you know the consequences, if you still can't make a decision that is beneficial to you, that is what a fool does!"
Hearing these words, Prefect Lu frowned again, "Even if you want to ask questions, you shouldn't be involved in this matter."
"My dear brother, please listen to my advice and don't do this. On the contrary, you have to apologize for the king. You must not offend many noble people just for temporary gain."
Lu Zhuangzhi pursed his lips, said nothing more, stood up, saluted him, and left.
Looking at the displeased expression on his clan brother's face, Prefect Lu sighed again. He was so impatient that something big was going to happen.
Lu Zhuangzhi walked out from here, his face was extremely unhappy, he frowned, his eyes were deep, there were a few clerks waiting in front, and when they saw him coming out, they hurriedly asked: "Don't drive, Lu, but you want to drive to Cui Home?"
Lu Zhuangzhi said nothing.
He turned his head to look at the large mansion in front of him, and then clenched his fists again. This opportunity is nothing to you, but to me, it is the only one that I must not miss.
"No need, go to the next county!"
Lu Zhuangzhi got into the car.
The carriage quickly left here and rushed towards Raoyang.
The whole Dingzhou became lively at this moment. The clerks and servants were riding horses, running back and forth. Different people got on the cars and hurried towards Zhending.
A huge storm is slowly taking shape.
The group of people wandered along the official road. Yan Zifei poked his head out several times and wanted to talk, but the knights around him simply turned a blind eye to him.
Yan Zifei was a little angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
The clerk on the side smiled and rushed over, "Mr. Yan wants a urine bucket?!"
Yan Zifei glared at him, "Vulgar!!"
The clerk lowered his head hurriedly, "Yes, yes, a vulgar and lowly person."
Yan Zifei asked helplessly: "How long will it take to reach true concentration??"
"Come on, come on, we'll be there soon."
"I'm tired of hearing this! Just tell me how many days later you can reach true samadhi!"
The clerk pointed to the distance, "We can get there today. After passing the high slope in front of us, we can see the Zhending City Wall."
Yan Zifei was very happy when he heard this. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Great, we are finally here. This official road is really difficult to navigate. When I return to the court this time, I will definitely report to His Majesty and ask him to renovate the official roads in various places.
There is no place for people to leave here.”
The clerk nodded repeatedly and did not dare to refute.
Yan Zifei said a few words to him and then got back into the car.
Behind him, there was a large group of knights wearing strange masks. These people formed a neat formation, protecting the carriage in the middle, with three people in a row, forming a long team.
Under the masks, you can't see their faces, but you can see their cold eyes when they look left and right.
When you pass the high slope in front, you can really see the looming Zhending city wall.
When the group of people just approached the city, they saw a huge crowd at the city gate. Everyone gathered here, all eagerly waiting.
Seeing them, Lu Zhuangzhi was ecstatic and shouted quickly: "Angels are coming!! Get ready!!"
They showed the highest courtesy.
Gao Yanzong stood at the front of the crowd. Looking at the excited expressions on the left and right, he couldn't help but frown. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't have an attack. He secretly thought about settling the score after the angel left.
But then, Gao Yanzong saw those masked knights, and he was startled.
"Baobao Camp?!"
He looked at it for a moment and said, "No, the feathers on the chest are different, they are warrior camps."
King Ande suddenly started to tremble, and he looked at Liu Taozi beside him in panic.
"Brother, something is wrong. Why did the warrior camp come here? The warrior camp is used to do dirty things. Their leader specializes in targeting the clan."
At this moment, Liu Taozi, who was standing next to him, was also a little shocked. He was looking at the tall masked knight in the lead. The masked knight seemed to be looking at him too, and the two looked at each other.
Yan Zifei walked out of the carriage, holding a staff and looked at everyone.
At this moment, Gao Yanzong no longer cared about the warrior camp and hurriedly led everyone to worship.
Seeing everyone bowing in front of him, Yan Zifei couldn't hide his joy. He didn't like to rush, but he liked to observe discipline very much. This was his first time to observe discipline. As expected, it was so refreshing!
"Get up."
He opened his mouth and everyone stood up.
Before Gao Yanzong could speak, Lu Zhuangzhi walked up to Yan Zifei and said, "Don't drive Lu Zhuangzhi to Xia Dingzhou and pay my respects to Duke Yan!"
Yan Zifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ah, it turns out he is Dr. Lu's son! I have some friendship with your father."
"Yes, when I learned that Duke Yan was coming, I summoned many officials from Dingzhou."
Lu Zhuangzhi smiled and lowered his head, and Feng Xun also hurried forward to bow to him.
"Oh! He's actually the Duke's younger brother! We can be considered old friends!"
The three of them were chatting at this moment, but they actually left Gao Yanzong aside. Gao Yanzong's face changed drastically, with a fierce light in his eyes. He forgot about the warrior camp, stepped forward, and pushed the two people away.
He grabbed Yan Zifei's arm and said, "Do you have any friendship with my family?!"
Yan Zifei felt pain in his arm and his eyes were full of surprise.
This guy has so much strength.
But before he could speak, the warriors on the side suddenly jumped off their horses and surrounded Gao Yanzong. Gao Yanzong looked at Yan Zifei fiercely and made plans to exchange one for one.
Although it was a serious crime for the princes and kings to violate the staff, Yan Zifei did not dare to order the warriors to pull him away.
These Xianbei people have always been arrogant and extreme in their actions, and they might end up dragging them along with them.
He hurriedly forced out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, my brother married Princess Huaiyang, why can't he be considered related to you?"
Only then did Gao Yanzong let go of his arm.
Everyone behind him was speechless when they saw this scene.
The group of people walked towards the city, but Lu Zhuangzhi and Feng Xun walked beside the angel, keeping a distance from Gao Yanzong.
Gao Yanzong was riding a horse and watching this scene, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
He looked at Liu Taozi beside him, "Brother, I should have listened to you and driven all these people away. I regret trusting the Han people!"
"I am also Han Chinese."
"I shouldn't trust villains gullibly!"
Liu Taozi was speechless this time.
Yao Xiong and Kou Liu followed Liu Taozi. They looked at the posture in the distance. Yao Xiong suddenly said: "Brother, I feel something is wrong. Are these people coming for us?"
"Should you send someone to inform Tian Zili and ask him to bring someone over?"
Liu Taozi shook her head slightly.
The group of people entered the city and then came to the state government office.
Yan Zifei held the staff and sat on the upper seat. Even King Ande could only sit next to him.
The warriors have taken over the defense here, and there are these warriors inside and outside who are wearing strong armor and looking at them with eager eyes.
There were a lot of people in the palace. In addition to the state officials, there were also county officials, and even some scholars and scholars had sneaked in. These people occupied the entire inner room. They looked fiercely at King Ande and those sitting next to him.
Liu Taozi's eyes are mostly evil.
Yan Zifei cleared his throat and said, "This time, I have been ordered to come to Dingzhou to thoroughly investigate everything."
Lu Zhuangzhi stood up immediately, with an excited look on his face, and quickly walked up to Yan Zifei and saluted Yan Zifei, "Mr. Yan! Many things have happened in this place, and I want to report it to you!
!”
Yan Zifei was stunned for a moment, "Just tell me."
Lu Zhuangzhi looked at King Ande, saluted him, and then said: "Your Majesty, please don't think that I am disloyal. It's just that my subordinates have advised the King many times, but the King has not listened. He only listened to that Liu Taozi."
calumny!"
He looked at Yan Zifei again and said loudly: "Young Master Yan doesn't know. Although your Majesty has just been appointed as the governor, he is a bit unconventional and does not follow the etiquette and laws, but he has never done anything that harmed the local area. He has always been in the government. Since the Qingming Dynasty, the government has been
, everything changed after Liu Taozi arrived!!"
Lu Zhuangzhi pointed at Liu Taozi, looking quite excited.
Everyone around them started to curse.
For a moment, Liu Taozi seemed to be pointed out by Wanfu.
Yao Xiong and Kou Liu, who were standing behind them, put their hands on the handles of their knives angrily, but Liu Taozi raised her hands and motioned for them to put it down.
Lu Zhuangzhi scolded: "The angel is here, do you still dare to commit murder?!"
"You are a cruel official. When you came to Boling, you first massacred the Cui family. The Cui family has been virtuous for generations, and their morals are known to everyone in the world. But you led the troops and killed them all!!"
Lu Zhuangzhi raised his head, tears falling continuously.
"It's not enough to kill the eldest brother. You also attacked the second brother. You killed the Cui family to such a desolate state. You also imprisoned Mr. Cui! You indulged your subordinates, killed county officials, and beguiled the king to lead troops to kill indiscriminately.
innocent"
Not far away, a burst of crying suddenly rang out. Those were all people named Cui.
When Feng Xun saw that he had finished speaking, he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Yan, and the Liu family of Raoyang!"
"This dignified Confucian family was actually harmed by King Ande and Liu Taozi. Liu Taozi also instigated King Ande to use animals to trample on the plaques written by the previous Emperors Xiaowen and Wenxiang!!"
"Of the many Confucian scholars in Raoyang, more than 400 of them, none of them survived!"
Lu Zhuangzhi continued: "And the Qi family from Anguo!"
"The Sun family of Fukasawa!"
"The Wang family of the Nine Gates!"
"The Murong family of Xindu!"
The masked knight standing behind Yan Zifei trembled slightly and seemed to glance at Liu Taozi.
As the two people complained one by one, cries and howls could be heard from all around.
The two gathered many victims here and brought these people together.
The two of them talked more and more, unable to stop at all, and their words became more and more intense. They would sometimes cry and sometimes yell, and their emotions were very unstable.
Yan Zifei's eyes widened and he just listened to their words.
The more he listened, the angrier he became, and the eyes he looked at Liu Taozi became more and more fierce.
However, Liu Taozi's face remained calm, and he looked at the scene in front of him calmly without saying a word.
On the contrary, Gao Yanzong's face was full of anger. He almost rushed out and beat the two people to death.
I don’t know how long they talked before they finally stopped. Lu Zhuangzhi pointed to the crying people and said to Yan Zifei: "Young Master Yan can ask everyone here at will. Everyone who came today has been bullied.
He was the one who was killed by Liu Taozi!"
He looked at Gao Yanzong again, "Including the king, he was actually harmed by Liu Taozi. He was not a cruel person, but was instigated by Liu Taozi."
"You can ask, Duke Yan."
Yan Zifei looked at the people in front of him. Sure enough, these people all had huge grievances. They came on stage one by one, pointed at Liu Taozi, accused him of his crimes, and cried to death.
"He, he, he, killed more than 20 members of my family."
One of them couldn't speak clearly, so he cried and fainted.
Yan Zifei had a straight face and looked very ugly. He waved his hand and said, "Okay!! No need to say any more!!"
He stood up and walked slowly in front of Liu Taozi. He lowered his head and looked extremely serious.
"You are so vicious! Don't you feel ashamed in the face of the wise men's reprimands?"
Liu Taozi looked at the person in front of her.
"I don't know."
Yanzi laughed with great effort, "Okay, okay, I don't know. I'll let you know today!"
Gao Yanzong stood up suddenly, "If you dare to touch him, I will never forgive you!"
Yan Zifei glanced at him and said, "Having committed many murderous crimes, does your Majesty think you can escape by yourself? Instead of worrying about others, why not worry about yourself?"
Yan Zifei returned to his seat, but did not sit down. He pointed at Liu Taozi and said loudly: "The murderer Liu Taozi!!"
"As a county lieutenant, instead of protecting the city and the people, you indulged your subordinates, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and committed so many murders that it's too many to mention!"
"Even now, you still don't know how to repent, which shows that you are a cold-blooded and ruthless villain!"
"Today, I am observing the Emperor's Day and inspecting the affairs of Dingzhou. When I find out about your evil deeds, I will sentence you to death!!!"
"Come here, take off this man's head!! Hanging East Gate!!"
"Pfft!!!"
The sharp knife flashed past.
Yan Zifei still kept pointing at Liu Taozi.
But his head flew high.
Then he rolled all the way down in front of Lu Zhuangzhi.
Lu Zhuangzhi lowered his head and looked directly at the man's head.
Chapter completed!
