After resting for a night, the group set out again.

Seeing that there was only one street left to reach the city gate, he was stopped by a few servants tending sheep.

"Wait a moment!"

The guards stopped and saw a few sheep herders. They couldn't help but frowned and asked angrily: "What's the matter?"

When the sheep herders saw their bad attitude, they immediately became angry and said arrogantly: "Do you know whose sheep we are herding? These are the sheep of Huang Yuan's wife's family. His daughter is now being swindled by the emperor in the palace."

Concubine, even the county magistrate wants to give him some thin noodles, how dare you offend him?"

When several officers heard that he was the concubine's father, although his position was not high, he was also a relative of the emperor and it was not easy to offend him.

So he lowered his attitude and said humbly: "I wonder why you asked us to stop?"

The shepherds saw that they had finally knelt on the ground and felt a sense of accomplishment. They said proudly: "How can these criminals compete with our master's sheep? Wait a moment and let us take the sheep out first.

You go again."

The guards and prisoners looked back and saw that the sheep they were herding were almost as large as a street.

These sheep were all very fat and walked very slowly. It would take a whole morning before they could drive all the sheep outside.

The officer's face suddenly darkened: "No, we have to arrive at the next county seat within the specified time. If we are delayed and prevent us from arriving, we will be punished!"

The shepherds curled their lips and said, "This is none of our business. If you don't let our sheep go first, we will tell our master. Then he will call the county magistrate, and you won't be able to leave today."

!”

When Boss Zhang heard what these shepherds said, he immediately laughed angrily: "You little shepherds, how dare you be so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you!"

The sheepherder was confident: "It's up to the owner to beat a dog. In our small county, although the county magistrate is in charge, the most reliable one is my master. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

Another shepherd also laughed: "For offending our master because of these despicable prisoners, you can decide for yourself what to choose!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the deputy leader quickly said in Boss Zhang's ear: "Boss, otherwise let's let them go first. Concubine Huang is favored in the palace. If she really offends her father, I'm afraid we really won't be able to survive."

Let’s go!”

But Boss Zhang didn't believe this evil, and said with a cold face: "I don't believe that a mere yellow official can do anything to us official servants!"

With that said, he must forcefully lead the prisoner out of the city gate first.

When the shepherds saw this, they waved their hands quickly and said: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, go and notify Huang Yuanwai!"

Soon, just as the officers and prisoners were about to arrive at the city gate, a group of local officers suddenly ran forward and stopped them.

Behind him were the panting county magistrate and Huang Yuanwai, who was sitting in the carriage.

When Officer Huang saw his fat sheep walking behind a group of prisoners, he spat out unluckily and said to the county magistrate: "County Magistrate Li, how can these despicable prisoners block the way of my sheep? This

Aren’t you looking for trouble with me?”

The county magistrate immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will negotiate with them right away."

As he said that, he looked at the officers escorting the prisoners and said with a cold face: "You officers from the imperial city may not know the rules of our county.

This will make the prisoner walk in front, which will make the people behind follow him, which is very unlucky. Please be polite and let Mr. Huang's sheep go first. Otherwise, I will have to leave you here and rest for another night. Tomorrow

Let’s go again.”

This threat from Chi Guoguo made the policemen escorting the exiled meals so angry that they almost became angry.

But they were just official servants. When they encountered these powerful people, they had no choice but to step aside and watch helplessly as the shepherds drove their sheep past them.

The shepherds all had bright expressions on their faces: "You have to drink fine wine instead of toasting, because you have to offend our master for these despicable prisoners, and you will not get any good fruit!"

At this time, Huang Yuanwai stepped down from the carriage, walked to the families of exiled prisoners, and looked back and forth.

While stroking the goatee on his chin, he stared at the female prisoner lewdly.

Finally, he came to the prisoner of the Su family. After looking back and forth for a few times, his eyes stopped on the face of Yingbao's second sister-in-law, Liu Jiaojiao, with a look of covetousness on her face: "This female prisoner is pretty good-looking. You are not in a hurry anyway."

Come on, leave her to me for a while, I'll give you two sheep on the road. If you're thirsty, you can milk them, and if you're hungry, you can kill them for meat."

Boss Zhang suddenly frowned and was about to refuse.

But the deputy leader quickly stopped him: "Boss, this Huang Yuanwai is probably a local gangster in this county. Even the county magistrate treats him with respect. We are very gentle people. If we offend him again now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today!"

"That's not okay!" Boss Zhang frowned: "What if we kill people? The road to exile is still so long, and a lot of people may die. If it exceeds the proportion, we will all be convicted!"

"Since there is a proportion, it's okay to die a few times. If we don't leave this female prisoner to Officer Huang, I'm afraid that not only these prisoners but also us will be buried with her!"

The deputy leader said, and encouraged several other officers to support his opinion.

Boss Zhang couldn't help but feel shaken when he saw so many people supporting him.

On the other side, Liu Jiaojiao realized that she had been selected by Huang Yuanwai. She was disgusted and scared. She leaned into Su Erlang's arms and said in fear: "Stay away from me. I am a married woman. You

How dare you try to take my idea, I would rather die than obey!"

Mr. Huang became interested when he saw Liu Jiaojiao's voice, which was soft and pleasant, and he was not angry, so he said kindly:

"Beauty, instead of being exiled to a bitter and cold place with your husband, why not be my concubine? You don't have to suffer that. I guarantee that you can still enjoy good food, drink well, wear gold and silver, and continue to live the rich life you once had."

He said, reaching out to touch Liu Jiaojiao.

Unexpectedly, Su Erlang grabbed his wrist and slammed it back hard.

Mr. Huang was immediately in pain and screamed: "Damn prisoner! Let me go, if you break my hand, none of you will be able to leave today!"

Mr. Huang's servants and local officials brought by the county magistrate quickly gathered around.

They all rushed to Su Erlang and drew their swords: "Hurry up and let go of Mr. Huang! Otherwise we will chop off your hand!"

But Su Erlang stubbornly refused to let go: "Whoever dares to touch my wife, I will die with him!"

The rest of the Su family also looked at the officers and soldiers with the same hatred, and said angrily: "Even if our Su family dies, we must die in a pure and innocent manner, and we cannot allow anyone to be tainted in the slightest!"

"ah!"

Just when the tension was tense, a clear and tender voice suddenly sounded.

I saw Ying Bao stretching out his chubby fingers and shouting innocently: "The sheep is gone!"

Everyone followed her fingers and turned to look back.
