Chapter 27 Dongzhi in Distress on

There are more than 1,300 households and more than 6,000 people in Dongzhi City, which is a small city.

After finding an inn to settle down, it was getting late and I had nothing to say all night,

The next morning, He Ran ordered everyone to go to visit to see what he could ask. He took Mingqin Chaduo and Yunye to the east street.

After seeing the silk shop opened by the rich merchant mentioned on the case, he walked into the small teahouse next to him,

Someone visited so early. The shopkeeper was very happy. After asking for some tea, He Ran frowned and asked, "Is Bai Dabai really dead?"

The shopkeeper immediately showed a look of vigilance and looked at him and said, "The guest officer is very handsome. He is not a local."

He Ran replied, "Xizhicheng has some old friendship with the Bai brothers. Ha ha, he owes me two taels of silver."

The shopkeeper said gently, "Oh," and said, "All I know is that they have been arrested. It is said that they have been sentenced to beheading. I'm afraid it's not easy to recover the guest officer's money."

He Ran was puzzled and said, "I think these two brothers are not bad. Why did they die?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The incident happened in the courtyard. We don't know the details. Let's use tea."

Next, He Ran tried several times. The shopkeeper's words flashed but refused to say more. A pair of eyes looked at Mingqin Chaduo's face a lot,

After leaving the teahouse, He Ran walked into a small pharmacy across the street. After buying two tonic drugs, he asked the clerk about the Bai brothers again.

The man also showed a look of vigilance and said in a low voice, "The official has warned us people nearby. Don't talk nonsense about this matter. You'd better inquire less, so as not to get into trouble. The blacksmith Hu next to you a few days ago has been arrested because he said a few more words."

He Ran knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he pretended to be surprised and stopped talking.

At this time, two strong men came in and said to the man, "It's time to collect this month's peace money."

The clerk took out a red paper bag and handed it over. He smiled and said, "I've been ready for it for a long time. You two have worked hard."

A strong man took the paper bag and opened it. He said proudly, "Thank you shopkeeper for us." With that, he squinted at the three of them. When he saw the peerless beauty of Mingqin Chaduo, his eyes couldn't help showing greed and asked, "Where are you three from?"

He Ran replied, "Xizhicheng, do you have to be investigated to buy some medicine?"

The strong man stared and said, "What kind of medicine did Xizhicheng buy from our Dongzhicheng? Don't you have a pharmacy there?"

He Ran said unhurriedly, "Yes, but which law stipulates that if there is a pharmacy in Xizhicheng, we can't come to Dongzhicheng to buy medicine. Who are you?"

The strong man put the paper bag in his hand in his arms, took down his sleeve and said, "Who are we? I'll tell you..."

Before he could go on, the strong man next to him pulled him and said, "Let's go. Don't delay here. It's important to collect money."

The strong man stared at He Ran and stared at Mingqin Chaduo's face fiercely before he went arrogantly.

He Ran asked the guy, "Who are they? What kind of money did the peace money pay?"

The clerk sighed and said, "They used to be servants of the government. Didn't they let the streamline the officials in the previous paragraph? These people were dismissed. Alas, it's not me who like to complain. Everyone knows that the above is for the good of the people. If there are fewer officials, they will spend less. The people can pay less taxes, but when they get to the bottom, it will change. These people are clearly withdrawn, but the government has called them to form a security team on the grounds that there is not enough manpower. Although they are not officials, what they have done is still the past, but the salary is not paid by the government to ask for by themselves, which is more real than before. It's good."

He Ran frowned slightly and said, "Isn't there a patrol department? Didn't anyone sue?"

The clerk snorted and said, "If the inspection department really wants to use the people to sue, the government office of the five cities in Zhongzhou is in the city. How can they not know such a big thing?" Speaking of this, he felt that he had said a little too much. He stopped the topic and said, "In fact, this new policy has benefited us a lot. It's nothing to pay some peace money. You are from a foreigner. It's better to inquire less about these things here."

At this time, someone came in to buy medicine, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions. He Ran smiled at the man and walked out,

Out of the pharmacy, Yunye whispered, "Second brother, there are two people on the left who look bad. They seem to be coming to us." With that, he looked to the right and said nervously, "There are also a few here. Let's go quickly."

The three of them accelerated their steps and just turned a street. The first few villains blocked their way. The leader was in his forties and looked at them and said, "Three, come with us."

"Who are you? Where do you want to take us?" Yunye stood in front of He Ran and turned his head to look behind while asking questions. Seeing that several people gathered around him, he couldn't help but worry and pressed the hilt of the golden sword.

A villain smiled giciously and said, "We are in the government. As for where to go, you will know when you go to the place."

Yun Ye asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

He Ran shook his head slightly. He knew the advantages. In the current situation, he saw that the officialdom of Dongzhi City was dirty. When he entered the prison, he couldn't help himself. If they knew that the military commander was arrested for a private visit, they might fight to the death. When people were in a desperate situation, they could do anything, and the matter of killing people was in front of their mouth. There are examples of Bai Dabai,

He pushed away Yunye and looked at the villain and said, "Since the official is arresting people, what law do I want to violate? Please show us your official card first. How can we believe that you are official officials without wearing official clothes?"

"Oh, you're quite calm. When you get to Dongzhi City, you don't listen to me. Don't talk nonsense. Lock it for me." He said and waved to his hand,

Several strong men took the chain and were about to take action. Yunye took the golden sword out of the sheath and shouted, "Get back."

He turned his strange eyes and said strangely, "You are not brave. You dare to dance swords and swords in front of me. It seems that you don't want your life anymore. Brothers, copy guys."

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Ran raised his voice and said, "Baret, do you know who to talk to again?"

Yunye Hengjian said, "This is the Xiaoyao Gong of the current dynasty and the military commander of the country. Why don't you kneel down for me?"

Zha Huang was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Why don't you say that he is the king?" With that, he turned to those men and said, "You all heard it. They pretended to be important ministers of the court and cheated. Take it quickly."

He Ran shouted, "Slow down." Take out the gold seal from your arms and hold it high. "The gold seal is the basis."

Zhai looked at the golden seal with a solemn face and said in a low voice, "Brow it to me."

Yunye shouted, "What are you? You also deserve to see the seal of the military division."

Zha shook his eyes and stared at He Ran for a while, and then whispered a few words to several people around him. When he raised his head again, there was already a fierce light in his eyes. He smiled gmaginfully and said, "Since you dare not let me check, it is guilty to be a thief. Brothers, don't show mercy to this kind of villain, go." After saying that, he was the first to rush up with a knife in his hand,

He Ran knew it as soon as he saw him. He poked out and blew the whistle hard to summon Zhong Yu and others,

Yunye didn't expect that this group of villains would be so bold. Generally speaking, ordinary officials will be extremely cautious when encountering this kind of thing, and he will never dare to be so reckless. He can't help but be anxious. If he is single, no matter how many people there are, he is not afraid. With his ability, he can also kill a bloody road, but with the strength of one person. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for him to ensure the safety of the second brother and Mingqin Chaduo.

In a hurry, he thought of capturing the thief and capturing the king, but the zuo huang was extremely cunning. He rushed forward a few steps and stopped. He waved his knife to urge his men to attack fiercely. Yunye unfolded around He Ran and Mingqin Chaduo. Although he cut off a few swords, he did not dare to take advantage of the situation to fight back.

He Ran also pulled out his sword at this moment, and the development of the situation was also beyond his expectation. Seeing that some people dressed like these villains came, he shouted to the people onlookers in the distance, "I am He Ran, the military commander of the dynasty. If you don't come to rescue me, Dongzhi City will be slaughtered."

Zhe Huang shouted, "He pretends to be a military swager. He is really a thief. Don't be confused. Whoever dares to make trouble will be dealt with by the thief."

He Ran blocked a sword and saw another sharp sword stabbing Mingqin Chaduo. It was too late to wave the sword to block it. He hurriedly pulled her hard and took a step to protect her with his body. The sharp sword penetrated into his back. At this time, Yunye's golden sword waved and cut off the man's wrists together, and the sword with more than an inch of his body followed. Falling down, Mingqin tea flowers were pale, just as He Ran's life was insurable, and he fainted to the ground with a scream,

The companions were injured, and the villains attacked more urgently. Several strong martial arts entangled Yunye with all their strength, and the swords of the rest of the people went to Heran Mountain to greet,

He Ran struggled to open a knife. When he was not allowed to return his hand, he could not avoid it. Yunye's golden sword was cut down. Although he blocked the fatal second blow for him, he was cut, and his left arm was immediately full of blood.

At the critical moment, three people dressed up rushed to He Ran's side of the street and shouted while waving their swords, "Assassination, are you bastards going to rebel? We are the spy of the supervision department, and we all put down our weapons."

These three people were sent by the Supervision Department to secretly investigate the case of Bai Dabai's second case. When they heard the chaos here, they rushed in to rescue when they saw that the military division was in danger.

At this time, the people got up and hissed, "These three are the thieves. Kill me." When he shouted, the people stopped again,

With the help of the three people from the Supervision Department, Yunye greatly reduced the pressure and waved his sword to force the thief who was pestering him to take a few steps back. Zha's eyes turned red and shouted to urge everyone to attack. He also rushed to Yunye himself,

He Ran protected the Mingqin tea that fell on his feet step by step, and the bone whistle in his mouth blew even more sadly. When a supervision department fell down, Hong Li finally arrived. After a while, Zhong Tong and four guards also rushed over and surrounded the military division,

As soon as the situation eased, a team of fifty or sixty officers and soldiers rushed over. He Ran took a breath, but saw the leader muttering a few words, and then stared at He Ran fiercely and waved his knife to join the battle group.

Hong Qi blocked him and shouted harshly, "Bir, this is the military master."

The officer ignored him and waved his knife and shouted to his opponent, "Kill these villains."

He Ran's heart sank and said to Hong, who was still shouting, "They already know who I am in their hearts. They concentrate on the enemy, kill east, and fight against the wall." With that, he bent down and picked up Mingqin tea,
