As the acting prefect, Song Yuan immediately frowned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "It's ridiculous, what does treating the plague have to do with your forcing yourself to break into the Yamen? This is a strict place. If you are determined to cure the plague, you should visit famous doctors and treat the disease.
Medicine can save people, so how can you lead people to rush into the Yamen just because you disagree with me? I thought you were a person who knew the righteousness, but I didn't expect you were also a person who talked nonsense."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Master Magistrate, can you please listen to what Wan Sheng has to say?"
"Do you still have sophistry?" Song Yuan said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Wan Sheng did not break into the Yamen, but the City God's Temple. There are ghosts and gods entrenched in the temple. Now that there is a plague in the city, Wan Sheng naturally wants to come here to ask the ghosts and gods to see how much they know about the plague.
Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine. But when I came here just now, I found that the City God's Temple had been changed into the prefect's office, so I had no choice but to break in. I hope you understand, if you waste more time now, the lives of the people in the city will be in more danger."
"After doing this for a long time, you are here to worship God and pray for Buddha. It is really ridiculous. You are a three-year-old child when you treat me as an official. All scholars know that you can't talk about strange things and confuse gods. As a scholar, you actually talk about ghosts and gods. When
You are really ignorant. I am actually wasting my time listening to your explanation here. Come here, capture these madmen. If there is any resistance, kill them immediately." Song Yuan shouted.
This official is different from the previous prefect. Although the previous prefect was timid and fearful, he was also a sensible person and not so ruthless. But now the acting prefect is a bit too ruthless.
Just because if you forcefully break into the Yamen, you will be captured and killed.
You must know that this is not a serious Yamen, strictly speaking, it is just the City God's Temple.
The laws of the imperial court have regulations on yamen, and the location of the yamen cannot be decided casually.
In other words, breaking into the City God's Temple is actually not a crime.
Of course, as the official magistrate, he can say whatever he wants. After all, the situation in this city is different from before.
Following Song Yuan's order, nearby soldiers rushed over, preparing to capture Li Xiuyuan and others.
"Wha~!"
Immediately, an arrow flew from nowhere and headed straight for Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan reacted immediately, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the flying arrow landed firmly in his hand. He really thought that his more than ten years of martial arts training was in vain.
"snort."
He groaned heavily and exerted force with his palm, and the arrow was immediately broken with a click.
"Xing Shan."
Since this official was so inhumane and so ruthless, there was no need to be polite to him.
Xing Shan's eyes flashed with light at this moment. He took out the big bow from his back, took out several arrows one after another, and shot them out. He only heard a few rustling sounds, and the arrows actually flew out together without distinction.
"A volley of arrows?"
An archer holding a bow and arrow on a nearby temple wall was frightened and wanted to escape over the wall.
As an archer, he still doesn't know that anyone who can make a chain of arrows is a first-class marksman, and he cannot fight against him. When encountering such a master, he can only run away. If they fight, it will be...
Death is certain.
But the arrows flew instantly, and the archer had just climbed over the wall and before he landed, an arrow passed through his back and penetrated him completely.
"Ah~!"
The archer screamed and turned over and fell to the ground dead.
The remaining arrows all flew towards Song Yuan, who was the acting prefect.
Two arrows passed through the soldiers in front, one to the left and one to the right, and hit the large official robe under Song Yuan's arm. The remaining force knocked him against the wall of the courtyard next to him, nailing him to the wall.
.
"With the next arrow, I can shoot it through your head."
Xing Shan said in a deep voice, a big bow was already drawn and pointed at Song Yuan's head.
Song Yuan was immediately frightened, his face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling.
"grown ups."
Seeing this, the soldiers nearby hurriedly came closer and blocked Song Yuan's front.
Song Yuan calmed down at this time and shouted loudly: "Li Xiuyuan, do you dare to kill officials and rebel?"
"Hey, young master, what nonsense are you talking to this bitch? Why don't you just send him on his way? You won't have to look at the rest of the people here." Wu Fei touched his bald head and pulled out the big knife from his waist, with a smile on his face.
Laughed ferociously.
Kill an official?
It's not like Wu Fei has never been killed before. Besides, he is a famous robber in Wangchuan Mountain.
If he hadn't been recruited by Li Xiuyuan, he would still be a bandit right now.
Therefore, he really has nothing to fear from the government.
Li Xiuyuan glared at Wu Fei, this guy was really addicted to killing officials.
The last time the county magistrate died, I had no choice but to act cruelly. If I hadn't killed the county magistrate, my Li family would have been ruined. But the Song Yuan in front of me was not comparable to a county magistrate. He was the Minister of War who followed the imperial court.
He came here to provide disaster relief, but he was also a relatively important official in the imperial court.
If he died here, Li Xiuyuan would not be able to tell the difference no matter what, and he would not be able to hide it no matter what.
Compared to when I was in the county, I acted with premeditation and preparation.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you let me take action to capture this villain who broke into the Yamen without permission?"
When Song Yuan saw the nearby soldiers protecting him, he calmed down a lot and shouted hurriedly.
After hearing this, the other soldiers roared and rushed towards Li Xiuyuan and others with swords and guns in hand.
"Young Master, you've already reached this point, so let's take action." Wu Fei held the big sword and was eager to try.
Li Xiuyuan said: "If you act happily for a while, you will ruin something big sooner or later. There is no need to make the situation irreversible just because of a little conflict. You all should retreat and wait until I capture that Song Yuan."
After saying that, he took out the Golden Gun from the Ghost King's bag.
Seeing that such a big gun could be taken out of the small cloth bag, the soldiers who rushed over were immediately stunned. They all seemed to be frightened by this magical thing. After all, they were all ordinary people.
, I have never seen such a magical baby.
Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xiuyuan strode over with a big gun in hand.
With a flick of the big gun, three or five soldiers flew backwards, knocking them to the ground along with their companions behind them.
The big gun weighing 72 kilograms is a powerful weapon when wielded. The soldier will break several bones with just one touch, making him unable to withstand it.
Li Xiuyuan was seen shooting out alone with a big gun. Everywhere he passed, people fell on their backs and soldiers fell to the ground one by one, wailing in pain and unable to stand up again.
"Isn't it inappropriate to let the young master go alone?" Xing Shan whispered, the big bow in his hand ready to shoot at any time.
"Don't worry, there are only a few dozen people. The eldest young master can handle it. Just be careful of hidden arrows. Look, the eldest young master's martial arts has improved again. Tsk tsk. If I fight with the eldest young master, I will be picked and killed within three moves.
." Wu Fei looked at it with admiration in his eyes.
The reason why he is loyal and willing to be Li Xiuyuan's subordinate is that besides having a good leader, he also admires Li Xiuyuan's strength.
Even though this young master is dressed like a scholar and looks polite, he is really a fierce general when it comes to fighting.
"Quick, stop this Li Xiuyuan." Song Yuan shouted anxiously as he tore his clothes and got out of the wall.
When he saw Li Xiuyuan coming towards him with a big gun, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
When did scholars become so aggressive?
However, there were only more than thirty soldiers here. Most of them fell to the ground after being picked up by Li Xiuyuan's big gun.
"Ah~!"
Five or six soldiers guarding Song Yuan shouted and rushed over.
"Go away."
Li Xiuyuan threw the big gun forward, raised his foot and kicked it again.
The big gun hit them like a beam. Five or six soldiers cried out in pain and fell to the ground. They clutched their chests and howled in pain. They didn't know how many internal injuries they had suffered.
At this time, all the soldiers on the left and right had fallen to the ground. Song Yuan was sweating coldly. At this moment, he finally tore his official robe to pieces and fell off the wall, and then ran away in a hurry.
Despite his majestic appearance before, now he is as frightened as a bereaved dog.
But without the soldiers to protect Song Yuan, how could he escape alone?
Soon, Li Xiuyuan rushed over and held it in his hand with one arm, then stretched out his hand and shook it.
Hearing Song Yuan's cry of pain, he collapsed limply on the ground. The joints and muscles all over his body seemed to have been torn to pieces, and he could no longer exert any strength.
Li Xiuyuan's move is famous for its ability to shake people's joints and tear their bones into pieces. This requires extraordinary martial arts to achieve.
"Master Song, don't you want to give Wan Sheng a reasonable explanation for what happened today?"
He was condescending and looked at Song Yuandao calmly.
"What, what's the explanation? You are an official of the imperial court. You, a mere scholar, broke into the Yamen secretly, killed soldiers, and captured the prefect. This is a serious crime of beheading."
Song Yuan shouted loudly: "Don't think that I am afraid of you. If you have the courage, just kill me."
He had long noticed that this Li Xiuyuan was skilled in martial arts, but his attacks were measured. He only seriously injured the soldiers and did not dare to kill them.
This means that Li Xiuyuan still has scruples and does not dare to make things too big.
"What a court official who is not afraid of death. I admire Wan Sheng. Wu Fei respected Lord Song's last wish and chopped off his head." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Okay, I've been wanting to chop off his head for a long time." Wu Fei smiled excitedly and rushed over with a big knife.
Song Yuan's eyelids jumped when he looked at the big knife in Wu Feina's hand, and he felt terrified in his heart.
It must be Li Xiuyuan who is trying to scare me. He would never dare to kill an official.
But Wu Fei didn't seem to want to come to Song Yuan's side, so he tied his hands and feet and made him kneel on the ground.
Song Yuan shouted: "I am not afraid of death, so why should I tie my hands and feet?"
He was upright and not afraid at all, because he still didn't believe that Li Xiuyuan really dared to kill him.
"Oh, sir, I don't understand. I used to be an executioner, specializing in beheading people. Everyone who beheads people has their hands tied behind their backs. It's not because I'm afraid that the prisoner will run away, but because if I don't tie my hands behind my back when I drop my big knife,
With both hands, the prisoner will subconsciously use his hands to protect his neck and block the knife and axe. In this way, the big knife will cut unfavorably, and it is easy to miss the mark with one strike. It is inevitable that half of the skull and a few pieces of flesh will be cut off. And the prisoner
He won’t die immediately, but he will roll on the ground in pain.”
Wu Fei said: "Your Excellency, you must have seen a killer. This chicken cannot be killed with one knife. The chicken is flapping its wings and running around, and you can't catch it. There is blood everywhere. It's not beautiful."
Song Yuan had indeed seen the tragic scene of killing a chicken without killing it. The injured chicken jumped around randomly, leaving chicken blood all over the yard. He even scolded his servants for this.
And when I thought about my own end, I couldn't help but tremble all over and felt chills all over my body.
"Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you die, don't seek revenge from me."
Wu Fei raised his sword, made a stroke, and the blade touched Song Yuan's neck.
The cold blade gave him goosebumps all over his body.
"Well, since we want to behead, why bother, why bother talking nonsense." Song Yuan said with a trembling voice.
"Habit, habit, sir, please don't look at me. If you draw a sword like this, blood will be splashed all over me." Wu Fei said.
Song Yuan turned his head away with fear and went to look for Li Xiuyuan.
But he saw that Li Xiuyuan had turned his back at this moment, as if he didn't want to see the scene of beheading, and then waved his hand to signal: "Hurry up and kill him, don't delay."
"Damn it, this scholar is so cruel. He really wants to kill me. How dare he kill an official?"
Song Yuan was horrified. He thought Li Xiuyuan was just scaring him, but now it seemed that was not the case. The knife was already on his neck. With one strike, the matter was over and there was no room for turning around.
"Stop it, stop it quickly."
He immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
