Chapter 33 You Dare to Kill an Imperial Official
Wherever Hou Yuanji looked, the people lowered their heads in fear and trepidation.
"hehe."
Since you can't find the person who dropped the coin, don't blame him!
Hou Yuanji shouted sternly, "Come here! Copy all those things for me!"
The escort who was supporting Hou Yuanji received his hint, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards the people.
He pointedly shouted, "If you need to get out of here, get out of here. I'm not responsible if anyone gets hurt!"
All the escorts exchanged knowing glances, licked their teeth, and approached the crowd excitedly like hungry wolves.
Isn't it just a pretext of robbing things to beat people up?
They are very good at it!
An escort suddenly pushed Xuan Qi, who was closest to him, and said, "You are not ordinary people. If you don't get out of here, I will show no mercy!"
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze in place.
Because he couldn't push Xuan Qi at all.
The bailiff was unwilling to give up and pushed with all his might.
But after several attempts, he was unable to shake Xuan Qi at all.
"Useless stuff!"
Xuan Qi lowered his eyes and looked down at the bailiff, his eyes and eyebrows filled with contempt.
His voice was like a bell: "Guardians, listen to my orders. We swear to protect our fellow villagers until our death."
"yes!"
The mighty and brave guards had murderous looks in their eyes, ready to strike.
Even if their hands and feet are tied, they still use their bodies as shields and unwaveringly protect the people behind them.
Hou Yuanji never expected that Xie Jingci's men would actually dare to take action.
"Fight! I want to see how arrogant these traitors can get!"
The bailiff had long wanted to give the fallen dog a beating.
At the command, they used their hands and feet, and each move was aimed directly at the vital points of the guards.
The brave and battle-hardened guards were now encumbered by the wooden shackles and shackles, making it very difficult for them to move.
So much so that the two sides ended up in a draw.
But the strong never complain about the environment.
Seeing a bailiff punching Xuan Qi on the back of the head, Lu Wanyin shouted, "Xuan Qi, turn around and lift the wooden yoke!"
Out of trust, Xuan Qi, who had just kicked someone down, immediately did as he was told.
Before he could even stand firmly, the wooden yoke blocked the heavy blow.
The escort who launched the sneak attack was hit back by the wooden yoke and screamed in pain.
"Thank you, Madam!"
This reminder opened the guards' minds.
In the following fight, they made full use of the wooden yoke whether attacking or defending.
He forced the escort to draw his knife.
In this way, Xuan Qi and others deliberately provoked the escort.
When the bailiff swung his sword, they would put the wooden yoke under the blade and use the force to cut it off.
As more and more wooden shackles were cut off, the guards were like dragons emerging from the sea, invincible.
After a few more rounds, all the jailers were pinned to the ground.
Xuan Qi held a long knife in his hand and put it in front of Hou Yuanji's neck.
“It’s time to end it.”
The long sword was as cold as ice, and the sharp light it reflected showed its ability to cut through iron like mud.
Hou Yuanji's legs were shaking, but he was unwilling to show weakness to a personal guard.
He stubbornly shouted at Xie Jingci: "Xie Jingci, your people want to kill the court officials, are you going to do anything about it?"
"Just kill a dog official who doesn't care about human life."
In the prison car, Xie Jingci was looking down at the things the people had stuffed in.
He didn't even raise his head: "Grandma, there is another one behind you."
The old lady looked back and saw a purse.
As she turned around to pick it up, she sighed, "It's really dark under the lamp. It was right next to me, and I didn't even notice it."
Hou Yuanji saw that the old lady put the purse on her left hand.
It is estimated that there are no less than twenty money bags of similar size piled there.
Hou Yuanji's eyes widened: "They were fighting just now, and you were picking up money"
"There's a problem"
Xie Jingci's tone was too normal.
Little did he know that Hou Yuanji felt as if he was struck by a huge thunderbolt.
Such a nonchalant attitude was not only because he was sure that his guards could win.
Moreover, he was not afraid of resisting the Jinyiwei.
Even more so, he didn't care whether he was disobeying the emperor's will!
"Madman! A madman who doesn't care about his life!"
How could Hou Yuanji dare to confront Xie Jingci again?
His face turned pale, and he kept saying, "I surrender, I surrender! Tell your men to let me go!"
Xie Jingci looked at Lu Wanyin: "What do you think, Madam?"
Lu Wanyin gave him an approving look and climbed up the pole: "I can let you go, but I really don't like going on the road with shackles on."
"Unload! Unload! Unload! Whatever you say!"
The knife was at his neck. Hou Yuanji was not afraid of the other party making demands, but was afraid that the other party would not make demands.
As for collecting food and travel expenses from the people, it was even more impossible for him to take care of it.
Lu Wanyin's shackles were removed by the personal guards.
She twisted her wrist: "You can let him go now."
"yes."
As soon as Xuan Qi's sword moved away, Hou Yuanji ran away in a panic as if he was being chased by a ghost.
The other guards also relaxed and released the messenger.
The people who were protected unharmed saw them fleeing together and immediately applauded Xie Jingci and others.
Without the discordant people, Xie Jingci was determined to return all the money to the people.
Naturally, the people would not agree.
So, Lu Wanyin watched the early New Year special program - stuffing red envelopes - with one eye.
The other eye was looking at Hou Yuanji who was limping away in the distance.
He was rhythmically repeating "1.6 meters, 1.7 meters, 1.6 meters, 1.7 meters".
After bidding farewell to the reluctant people, the group still had to hurry on their journey.
The thirty-jin wooden yoke was removed, but the forty-jin iron chains on his hands and feet could not be removed no matter what.
This is of no help to the Xie family members who are covered in wounds.
Xie Derui's legs felt like they were made of cotton and he had no strength at all.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best but couldn't move a step. "Sir, I can't walk anymore! I really can't walk anymore! Please stop for a moment and let me slow down!"
Liu was panting, with stars in her eyes, and she cried and begged, "A quarter of an hour, please? I'm about to be dried into meat. Please let us rest for a quarter of an hour."
Others also complained.
One by one, their limbs seemed to fall apart at the same time.
Jiang's vision flickered, and he had no idea where he was going.
She wanted to speak, but her lips were so dry that she couldn't open them.
I stuck out my tongue and licked it, but there was no moisture in my mouth and my throat was burning with pain.
Let me take a break!
Even when she was so thirsty, what she wanted most was to stop and rest.
But his body had been stretched to its limit, and his vision suddenly blurred, and Jiang fainted.
Xie Yuantai lifted his foot.
But I couldn't lift it up, so I just decided to out of sight and out of mind.
However, the three Xie Deyao brothers wanted to make a big deal out of this matter in an attempt to buy a chance to rest.
The escort, who was also injured, was annoyed by the noise.
They can't deal with the Xie family's guards, so they can't deal with this group of weaklings
The bailiff, unable to bear the harassment, took out all his anger on Xie Deyao and the other two.
"Fuck you! I haven't even complained about being tired, so how can you, a criminal, complain about being tired? If it weren't for people like you, I'd still be living a luxurious life in the capital!"
