There was a commotion in the county government office.

More than ten riders actually broke into the county government office and galloped all the way to the backyard. The clerks along the way exclaimed, and the soldiers hurriedly raised their spears.

Lu Yao heard the panic outside and rushed out of the inner room disheveled.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as he walked out, he saw his chief lieutenant lying on the ground. Several soldiers were punching and kicking him, and there was another man standing next to him with a fierce look.

The man saw Lu Yao and walked up quickly. Before Lu Yao could react, he grabbed his sleeve and said, "Are you Lu Yao?!"

"That's me! Who are you?! Do you want to rebel?!"

Lu Yao reprimanded him sternly.

Lu Yao didn't recognize the man in front of him. He was tall, but thin, in his thirties or forties, and quite handsome. However, at this moment, his face looked extremely ferocious.

The man laughed, his laughter was as creepy as an evil bird.

"Am I rebelling?"

"You hung the heads of my two younger brothers on the city wall for public display. Why don't you give my younger brothers their lives!"

He stretched out his hand to grab Lu Yao's neck.

Lu Yao was shocked, "Someone is coming!!"

The soldiers rushed in quickly. The knights who followed this man were not afraid at all. They beat the money master until he could hardly stand up, and then looked at the soldiers.

"aqa"

One of them spoke.

Hearing this, the county soldiers were shocked, stopped quickly, looked at each other, and did not dare to move forward.

Master Qian struggled to get up, "Break into the county government office! Beat the officials! Rebellion! This is rebellion!"

"Come, kill me!!"

He shouted and bumped into the Xianbei man holding the knife.

The noble man was quick and grabbed Master Qian and threw him to the ground. Master Qian's face was covered with scars and he couldn't open his eyes, but he shouted: "Rebel! Kill officials! Rebellion!!"

"I am not rebelling, I want Magistrate Lu to give an explanation."

This person trampled the money master's book under his feet, then looked at Lu Yao and took out the official badge from his arms.

"I am under the command of King Changguang, and I am joining the military in Kaifu! My name is He Shikai! I have two younger brothers who are honest, kind and honest people. They were studying in the Imperial College and came to Cheng'an to hunt in their spare time. They actually lost their lives.

!The head was hung at the city gate for public display!!”

"Lu Yao!! Why did you kill my brother?!"

At this moment, Lu Yao suddenly realized that he was from the He family.

The next moment, Lu Yao frowned and said solemnly, "Your two brothers occupied the road and killed people for fun. They actually killed four people in Cheng'an. The officials came to arrest them. They also wanted to commit murder, so they were arrested."

kill"

"fart!!"

He Shikai was furious and shouted: "My brothers are all eager to learn and benevolent. It was clearly framed by you thieves!!"

He walked to Lu Yao's side again, but this time he grabbed the other person's shirt, "Tell the truth! How did my brother die?!"

"Why did you kill them?!"

He was so aggressive that he pushed the magistrate. Lu Yao was forced back step by step, and finally he was almost leaning against the wall.

Master Qian was lying on the ground, powerless. Seeing the magistrate being humiliated, he struggled to get up again, but the knights kicked him down again.

He lay on the ground and looked at the few soldiers outside the door who did not dare to come forward.

"Go find Liu Youjiu, Liu Youjiu!!"

He Shikai didn't pay attention to Master Qian at all. He pressed Lu Yao against the wall, his eyes were indescribably ferocious, "Why?!"

Lu Yao was not afraid at all and stared into his eyes angrily, "Your brothers killed people for fun. They deserved to be killed because of your lax discipline and unkind family tradition."

The sergeant laughed and hit Lu Yao's head against the wall, lowering his voice.

"How do you want to make up for it?"

"I have two dead brothers, how much are they worth?"

"You have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I will take you to see the king. The king will cut you into pieces and feed them to his big dogs and your tribe. No one will be left behind. Do you believe it?"

"What do you want to explain?"

"Bu Liugu Clan of Daijun. Oh, no, it's the Lu Clan of Luoyang now. Compensation is not a problem for you, right?"

Lu Yao saw this man's brown eyes flashing with wolf-like greed and ferocity.

The pain of losing his younger brother could no longer be seen on his face, and Lu Yao even saw some joy and pride.

He was preparing to exchange the lives of his two younger brothers for a good price.

He Shikai is not a Han Chinese. His ancestors are Hu people from the Western Regions, Hu merchants who came to the Central Plains. Later, they married local people and changed their surname to He, and became a local master. By the time He Shikai's father

, have already become officials and became governors.

Lu Yao knew the details of his family, and suddenly thought in his heart: He is indeed the queen of Hu Shang.

At this moment, rapid footsteps were heard from outside the lobby.

The soldier at the door was pushed away, and he saw Liu Taozi walking quickly into the lobby. He looked at the chief register lying on the ground, then at the county magistrate posted on the wall, and finally his eyes fell on

On He Shikai's body.

When the Xianbei knight saw Liu Taozi, he took a few steps back and then cursed: "aqa!!"

"Bang~~"

Liu Taozi kicked the knight in the chest, and the Xianbei man flew away, knocking over the person behind him, and they both fell to the ground at the same time.

The remaining Xianbei people were shocked and quickly drew their swords.

"stop!!"

He Shikai turned his head and stopped these people. He squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Taozi behind him, from his feet to his head.

"Is this the man who chopped off my brother's head?"

"Mr. Lu, you have some very cruel people under your command!"

He talked to Shikai, but ignored Liu Taozi. He looked at Lu Yao again, "Mr. Lu, this cruel official can force me to retreat, but he cannot force my king to retreat."

"Let go."

Liu Taozi spoke.

He Shikai immediately let go of Lu Yao in front of him and took a few steps back with a smile.

He just looked at Lu Yao and said, "Mr. Lu, you have to think carefully. Before my king comes back from Jinyang, I need an explanation. Just one."

As he spoke, he retreated and walked all the way to the door. Then he signaled a few knights to follow him and left in a hurry.

Liu Taozi stepped forward and helped the embarrassed Lu Yao up.

The soldiers also hurriedly helped Master Qian up. Master Qian's eyes were still red and swollen. He squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Taozi through the gap.

"Liu Youjiu, we can't let them take that head away."

Liu Taozi looked at Yao Xiong who was standing aside, "Take someone to take back those two heads. If you don't give them back, I'll kill them."

"only!!"

Lu Yao quickly ordered: "Don't kill, don't kill!"

Yao Xiong had already walked out. Lu Yao looked at Liu Taozi beside him and sighed helplessly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Liu Youjiu, this and Shikai are the confidants of King Changguang. They are inseparable. Five years ago, these two had an excessive affair. There were rumors in Yecheng, and even His Majesty knew about it.

"His Majesty thought that He Shi was frivolous, so he was exiled and King Chang Guang was not allowed to have any contact with him."

"But later, King Changguang cried and begged again and again, and His Majesty had no choice but to recall him to the capital."

"If this man died in Cheng'an, King Changguang would have to lead an army to massacre the city."

While the two were talking, Lu Qubing hurriedly walked in, "What happened?! Someone broke into the county government office?!"

When he came in, he saw the embarrassed magistrate and the chief clerk with a bruised nose and face, and then he looked at Tao Zi and said, "What are you?"

Lu Yao quickly cleared his throat, "This was not done by Zhizhi, but by a wicked person. Zhizhi came in time and drove those people away."

"ah??"

Lu Qubing was a little confused.

Lu Yao cleared his throat, "Let everyone go back first. Rongzu, Zhizhi, and Ziyi, the three of you will stay."

Lu Qubing hurriedly asked everyone to go back, and there were only four of them left here. Lu Yao sat on the upper seat and looked at the people in front of him.

"Earlier, the descendants of the He family caused trouble in our county. Officials went to arrest them, but they dared to resist and were killed. Everyone should remember this."
