As the owner of the market, Huang Qiu, of course, also learned the news immediately. The storm had already passed, so he had no burden in his heart and actually drank a lot. When he heard that Xie Liang was captured by Ou Xiong and others
, was hung from the Dongshi Gate and whipped, so horrified that he could no longer hold the wine glass, and it fell to the ground with a "thud".
Seeing Huang Qiudu in such a miserable state, the city official felt even more uneasy and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Fu, what should we do?"
Huang Qiu's thin and fleshless face could not hide the look of panic. He managed to calm down and asked: "Is Liu Shi currently in the market? Have you notified him?"
After receiving a positive reply from the city official, Huang Qiu felt at ease. After some consideration, he said, "I'm not feeling well today. You go and tell Liu Shi. He will be fully responsible for this matter."
The city official followed the order and exited the office, closing the door. Before he could go downstairs, he heard the sound of the door latch falling from inside the door. Without asking, he knew that Huang Qiu had locked the door from the inside.
"...!" The city official stared at the tightly closed door, dumbfounded.
Huang Qiu's reaction was not beyond Liu Jing's expectation. The Ou family relied on force and was overbearing. Even though Huang Qiu was a descendant of the Huang family of Linxiang, he did not dare to offend Ou Xiong easily.
In the whole of Linxiang, there are only three families of Liu, Huan and Wu who dare to confront the Ou family.
Needless to say, the Liu family and the Huan family are the descendants of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha in the early Han Dynasty. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, they have taken root in Changsha. They are famous for their martial arts and are not inferior to the Ou family.
Huang Qiu might as well be imprisoned in the prison cell, so that Liu Jing could do whatever he wanted. He asked the city official: "How many people are there around Ou Xiong?"
The city official was frightened and said: "There are about twenty or thirty people, all of them are agile and fierce men."
When Liu Jing heard that there were only twenty or thirty people, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ou Xiong had hundreds of followers, and it would be difficult to bring them all. However, this is reasonable. There are hundreds of fierce men armed with weapons and not afraid of life and death.
, has been able to attack the county government, who dares to let it into Linxiang?
"A few dozen frivolous people dare to come to the market to show off their power and whip the city officials. They treat us as if they are nothing." Liu Jing shook his head and ordered: "Zi Jin, go quickly and gather the city officials, and follow me to rescue Xie
history."
There were only a dozen officials in the market. Even if the pavilion department, city wardens, etc. were included, the number was still less than that of the district heroes. In order to increase his confidence, Liu Jing assigned an official to go to Shibei District to find Liu Zong's servant Zhou Wei and ask him to
Bring people to help.
Ma Zhou and the city officials all agreed to "promise" and left.
Liu Jing attacked Du again, and Zhuge Liang said: "Brother, Kong Ming, I'm sorry, I can't entertain you today. We will meet again another day."
Du Xi stroked his short beard and said with a big smile: "If nothing happens, I will go with you to meet that domineering Uncle Yuan."
Zhuge Liang put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "Brother's words are exactly what I want."
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "This is a public matter, how can we involve our eldest brother, Kong Ming."
Du Xi waved his sleeves and said, "It's useless to talk more. Zhongda will just lead the way."
Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.
Liu Jing was very moved and said with enthusiasm: "Okay! Then brother, Kong Ming will go with me to meet that clown of the Ou family."
"good."
Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang, and Du Xi walked down the market floor. At this time, the city officials had gathered in the hall. Although they were holding swords and shields, they looked panicked. It was not until they saw Liu Jing that they felt a little calmer.
Liu Jing's eyes were bright, and he looked at the officials one by one and said loudly: "Xie Shi has done nothing wrong in enforcing the law. Just because the prisoner is the guest of Uncle Yuan, he was whipped and humiliated in public. It is really unbearable.
Intolerable!"
Ma Zhou looked arrogant and drew his sword angrily: "Just give the order, Mr. Liu. I have long wanted to meet the famous Uncle Ou Yuan. If he dares to disrespect Mr. Liu, no one else is needed. I will personally kill this thief with my sword."
!”
All the officials in the market looked at Ma Zhou with admiration. Let alone the market, no one in Linxiang County or even in the entire Changsha County dared to clamor to kill District Yuanbo.
"You are so brave." Liu Jing was very lucky to have such a strong, brave and fearless person beside him, who could greatly boost his own morale. He said solemnly: "Uncle Yuan is small in stature, but he is famous in Changsha for his strength.
Zijin must not underestimate the other party."
Ma Zhou was full of confidence in himself and threatened: "It will be easy for me to kill him."
Liu Jing asked again: "The other party has a large number of people. Aren't you afraid of Zi Jin?"
Ma Zhou laughed heartily and said, "I, Ma Zhou, have never known fear since I was born."
Liu Jing high-fived and said with a smile: "Very good, Zi Jin, you can clear the way for us."
Ma Zhou obeyed the order and stepped out of the market building first. With him supporting him in front, the officials felt a little more confident and followed him out.
Du Xi nodded to Liu Jing and said, "This son is brave and righteous, and can be regarded as a pioneer."
Zhuge Liang said from the side: "Zhou is very careful. Judging from his behavior, the person who named him has good intentions."
Liu Jingshi smiled and said: "This is the word I chose for him some time ago."
"No wonder." Zhuge Liang suddenly said.
While talking, the three of them stepped out of the market building.
The market was only a few hundred steps away, and the market building was even closer to the East Gate. On the way, the pavilion chief came with seven or eight pavilion soldiers to meet him. This man obviously did not dare to go ahead, and he specially waited for Liu Jing here.
Liu Jing didn't pay attention to his little thoughts. What made him happy was that the number of people on his side finally exceeded the twenty mark.
On the other side, Xie Liang's hands and feet were tied and hung at the East City Gate. He received no less than thirty lashes from Ou Xiong. His gray cloud-patterned official robe was almost in pieces, and his consciousness was vague.
"Pa!" There was a crisp sound, and a whip like a poisonous snake was heavily imprinted on Xie Liang's back. Xie Liang screamed and begged for mercy, but because his voice had been hoarse before, the people below could not hear him clearly.
What.
Most of the people in the city gathered here, and someone in the crowd whispered: "Uncle Yuan Yuan did this, it is really out of the king's law. Isn't he afraid that Lord Zhang will punish him?"
Someone replied: "What is he afraid of? The worst he can do is hide first. When the emperor gives amnesty to the world in the first month of next year, he can come back arrogantly. No one can do anything to him."
When today's emperor came to the throne, he always maintained an annual amnesty for the world. Before him, King Hongnong only reigned for half a year, and he gave the world two amnesties. The previous Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty reigned for 22 years, and he gave the world 20 amnesties.
How many evil people have escaped punishment because of this, simply treating the law as child's play. Isn't this a sign of the country's demise?
"Uncle Ou Yuan is so willful and arrogant, is it difficult for no one to restrain him?" But the man did not dare to say this.
Someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the city officials are here, and Liu Jun is here too..."
"Can Liu Jun defeat Yuan Bo in the area?" everyone couldn't help but wonder.
