076 Also Said You Can't Kung Fu (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Not long after, Mrs. Wang appeared behind the three brothers and sisters with a sack full of small gold cakes. She threw the bag to Xu Yue and waved for the three to follow her.
"Aniang, don't we go find daddy?"
On the empty street, the girl deliberately lowered her voice and asked softly, her little face wrinkled slightly, a little hesitant.
Wouldn't it be good if I just left my father and ran away?
Ms. Wang, who was walking in front, looked back at her youngest daughter and did not answer her question. She only said that there was not much time left for them to prepare.
Xu Yue said "Oh" in a dull voice, knowing that Aniang had her own arrangements, so she stopped asking.
But I am still very worried about my father's current situation, and I don't know whether he is alive or has been clicked...
"Ah sneeze!"
Just when he was about to step into the brightly lit hall, Xu Da couldn't hold it back and sneezed loudly, making the clerk who was following him jump.
"Sorry sorry..."
Xu Da rubbed his nose and apologized to the chief clerk. He raised his head and looked around, secretly cursing which bastard was cursing me behind my back!
But having said that, he was really unlucky that his mother opened the door for him today, so unlucky!
He can meet any ghost!
Fortunately, he was actually "invited" to the prefect's mansion. Without telling him what was going on, he was locked in a small dark room. After a full hour, he was so hungry that he almost wanted to chew on a pillar before he was sent to death.
The old man came over and said that the prefect wanted to see him.
When Xu Da saw the black face of the chief clerk, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
When I went out again and came to the yard, I saw that the good guys were all guarding servants with knives in their hands and fierce looks. They were all staring at him eagerly, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Suddenly, Xu Da wanted to turn around and go back to the small dark room.
It doesn't matter if he's a little hungry, he can do it!
Unfortunately, as soon as they retreated to the door of the small black room, the broad road was blocked by two big knives.
Xu Da had no doubt that if he had stopped just a little slower, his head would have moved.
"Please!" The chief clerk made a gesture of invitation towards the hall with a dark face, asking Xu Da to come in.
Xu Da pretended to be dazed and coughed twice, dusting off the fur on his body. A smell of sheepskin floated out in the wind, successfully attracting the attention of the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a high seat in the hall.
He raised his eyes and turned over.
Xu Dashan walked into the hall and was put on a hot bed for a whole day. He was taken to the prefect's mansion before he could go home and wash up. His whole body was unkempt, as if he had rolled around in the mud, and the straw sandals under his feet were on the ground.
On the gorgeous and soft red carpet, there are mud marks one step at a time.
The chief clerk stared at the two rows of footprints, frowning so hard that he could kill a mosquito. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted softly: "Stop!"
Xu Da stopped in response and looked back with an embarrassed smile. The chief clerk glanced at him and shouted again:
"Why don't you kneel down when you see the prefect?"
kneel?
Xu Daxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of kneeling down, he raised his hands towards the center of the hall and bowed.
"Little Xu Da, meet your lord!"
Yuan Song and the chief clerk looked at each other, and the chief clerk walked out, but no one asked Xu Da to get up.
Xu Da bowed and waited for a moment. He heard the sound of familiar footsteps behind him. He turned sideways slightly and saw Liu Rong in official uniform walking in behind the chief clerk with his head lowered.
When passing by him, he didn't even look at him, looking guilty.
When Xu Dayi saw this posture, although he didn't know what he had committed, he also knew that the matter was serious.
The chief secretary and Liu Rong crossed Xu Da and came to Yuan Song. They each bowed and Yuan Song raised his hand, so that Xu Da could straighten up with the two of them.
The prefect Yuan Song was dressed in silk, satin and fur fur uniforms, with a Chinese character face, regular facial features, and exuding majesty.
He first asked Liu Rong how the assassin search was going, and then asked Liu Rong if all the rangers in the city had conducted interrogations.
Liu Rong answered two questions in a row, but the prefect didn't seem to care how he answered. He waved his hand, and two guards came up, one on the left and one on the right, and took Liu Rong out.
Xu Da followed him all the way and saw with his own eyes that Liu Rong was dragged into the yard and passed out at the age of thirty, and his heart sank suddenly.
He already understood in his heart that the real person asking these two questions from the prefect was him!
Assassins, rangers... Thinking of the ranger leader Mo Xiaocheng who came to persuade him to join the gang to assassinate the prefect, Xu was so angry that he gritted his back teeth and wanted to bite this enemy to death.
Sure enough, the prefect asked again, confirming the fact that he had now become a suspect in assassinating the prefect.
"I have wanted to meet Master Xu from the Huokang Gang for a long time, but I have been busy with official duties and have not been able to spare time. I was able to meet him today. Master Xu is indeed..."
The prefect Yuan Song glanced at Xu Da's disheveled appearance and couldn't say enough words of praise.
He sighed and suddenly changed the subject: "Someone saw Duke Xu and the group of Yanzhou rangers who assassinated me, right?"
The ranger of Yanzhou?
Xu Da finally understood why he immediately became a suspect in the assassination case. He knew that the rangers came from the same place as him.
This is simply a huge injustice!
If something went wrong, his life would be at risk. Xu Da's brain was spinning rapidly, he bowed down again and explained:
"The adults have asked, but I don't dare to hide it. Years ago, a ranger suddenly climbed over the wall and entered my yard with the intention of forcing me to teach him the art of making a kang. I had no choice but to pass on this art for the safety of my family.
Gave it to him."
"But, I really don't know that he is the assassin who killed you, sir! If I knew it, I would definitely find you and report it to you in time, even if I risk the death of my whole family!"
Xu Da felt that he was about to die unjustly, so he raised his eyes and peeked at the prefect's expression. He thought he would still have the same serious face as before, but unexpectedly, he actually smiled.
Xu Da immediately understood that this was just a test.
Since the prefect could find out who the murderer was who assassinated him, how could he not know whether Xu Da was the murderer?
But knowing that he was not the murderer, he still tried to test him, which showed that the prefect in front of him was a very suspicious person.
This kind of person would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. His crisis is far from over.
Yuan Song raised his hand to signal Xu Da to stand up, and asked casually: "I heard that Xu Gong can also do martial arts?"
Xu Da, who had just stood up, had to bend down again and replied: "I don't know whose nonsense you listened to. I am just an ordinary poor man. How can I know martial arts?"
Yuan Song shook his head, "Liu Rong said it himself, how could it be nonsense? Don't be afraid, Mr. Xu. I am just curious. The victims from Yanzhou to Jizhou have come to your two families. If Mr. Xu doesn't know martial arts, how can he escape?"
Gangsters on this road?"
Xu Da looked helpless: "Youngster really doesn't know martial arts, it's just good luck..."
Before he finished speaking, murderous aura suddenly rose, and a sharp sword stabbed him, killing him!
The light in Xu Da's eyes dimmed, and he quickly clamped the blade with his fingers, pouring his vast internal energy onto it. He flicked his two fingers, only to hear a low "buzz" sound, the sword shattered, and the person holding the sword was thrown away violently.
He hit the column hard and instantly vomited blood and fell to the ground dead!
Everyone in the hall was so shocked that they took a step back. They were horrified to see the unkempt man standing in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands, but with an extraordinary demeanor.
Yuan Song swallowed hard and pointed at Xu Da with a trembling hand, "Xu Da, you still said you don't know martial arts!"
