A group of prisoners are repairing the city wall of Qingfu County.

Hu Legen was extremely tired, raised his shackled hands and wiped the sweat from his head.

The whip came down immediately.

"Keep doing it!"

Hu Legen was a prisoner for the first time. He had never known that being a prisoner was so hard.

After finally making it to the evening, he looked forward to stopping and taking a rest.

Suddenly, someone kicked him in the butt and knocked him to the ground.

I turned around and saw a Song man with a hook in his hand.

Hu Legen was quite annoyed by this man, who would hook him here and there with his hook all day long.

Sure enough, the hook was hooked on his collar and lifted him up.

…

"Are you the one who can herd horses?" Jiang Fan asked.

Hu Legen didn't understand and kept begging for mercy.

"The squad leader, he is the one who knows how to herd horses." Xu Kui said.

"Then count him in."

"good."

Xu Kui didn't say much, and he took two people with Hu Legen and left until they entered a dark room.

They threw Hullgen to the ground and began to take off his clothes.

Hu Legen was frightened and kept pleading, completely forgetting that the other party could not understand Mongolian.

"Don't... don't be like this... a man from the grassland will never be insulted like this... don't..."

Soon, all his clothes were stripped off.

Hu Legen closed his eyes in despair, but the three Song people did not do anything else to him. They took the clothes, closed the door with a bang and left.

It was extremely cold in early December, and Hu Legen was locked in a dark room alone, feeling cold, scared, and shivering.

Fortunately, there was a tattered quilt in the house.

He was wrapped in quilt and his eyes widened, but he couldn't see any light. He really didn't understand what the Song people were trying to do.

…

Xu Kui put on Hu Legen's ragged clothes, covered his face, and walked a few steps in front of Jiang Fan.

"Boss, do you think I look like you?"

Jiang Fan didn't even raise his head and said: "It doesn't have to be too similar, just tell the public that a few prisoners escaped."

"Oh, I also learned a phrase in Mongolian... Mininai Renhu Legen."

"Don't say it," Jiang Fan said, "then shut your mouth tightly and don't say it."

Xu Kui scratched his head and asked, "Isn't it similar?"

"It's too damn rotten." Jiang Fan unscrewed the hook in his hand, replaced it with a single knife and screwed it on, saying: "Here, wrap my hand with a cloth."

"oh."

"Cover my face too." Jiang Fan added: "Remember, we are escaped prisoners tonight..."

~~

At the same time, at the entrance of Qingfu Restaurant, two sedan chairs slowly descended.

Zhang Yuanming led Zhang Shifei into the restaurant, and when he looked around, his brows furrowed unnoticeably.

Jiang Chun and Fang Yankai have arrived, but Li Xia has not come yet.

"Zhang Yuanwai." Jiang Chun stood up and said with a smile, "Feiyu will be here soon, I will apologize to Zhang Yuanwai."

Fang Yankai has also stood up, with a slight fake smile on his face.

Since the county promised to compensate Zhang Yuanming, as long as Li Xia makes another apology, this matter may be over... This is what they all hope.

But tonight Li Xia still had this attitude, which made them deeply worried.

Surprisingly, Zhang Yuanming was not angry. He smiled warmly and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Lieutenant Li is busy with work. Unlike me, who is idle, it is natural that he will come later. We will wait for him."

"Yes. Zhang Yuanwai is really generous. By the way, why didn't Erlang come?"

"Before going out, he suddenly felt unwell, so don't worry about him."

…

No one would let go if their food was robbed and their house was burned. Only Zhang Yuanming was magnanimous and planned to give Li Xia a chance to apologize.

Although the killer has been hired, Li Xiadao will die if he doesn't apologize.

But Zhang Yuanming planned to forgive him first at tonight's banquet.

In this way, when the person dies in a few days, there will no longer be any suspicion on the Zhang family.

I didn't expect that Shu Zi, who had the lowest official rank, dared to come the last.

Arrogant.

After waiting for a while, Li Xia finally arrived.

Jiang Chun and Fang Yankai's faces were already ugly, but the faces of the Zhang family and his son looked indifferent.

Li Xia walked into the hall, but there was some blood on his body.

"Feiyu, what are you..."

"Could it be that the Mongolian army is here again?!"

"Master, don't be alarmed." Li Xia greeted him calmly and said, "I'm late, please don't be surprised. I encountered an assassination on the road, which delayed me for a while."

"Assassination?"

"Yes, I had an enmity with the princes of the north. They must have sent someone to assassinate me."

Jiang Chun hurriedly said a few words of greetings, but Li Xia just said it didn't matter and seemed very calm.

When something like this happened, if they blamed him for being late, few people in the hall would be speechless.

Even the Zhang family father and son had to express a few words of emotion and praise Li Xia for his bravery, as if they had nothing to do with him.

After the greetings, Li Xia suddenly asked: "The second son of Yuan Zhang's wife is not here? I heard that he also wants to attend the banquet together."

"Zhuo'er is feeling unwell. It's a pity that we can't meet Lieutenant Li tonight."

"What a pity." Li Xia said, "I'm very sorry."

At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet was quite good and enjoyable.

Zhang Shifei lowered his head, thinking that it would be best if Li Xia was assassinated by the Meng people. When Chu Fu killed Li Xia in a few days, it would be just right to blame the Meng people.

It's like a scapegoat delivered to your doorstep...

The next moment, Jiang Chun asked: "Feiyu also brought five boxes. Could they be gifts?"

Zhang Yuanming stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "It must be so. No wonder Li County Lieutenant asked Zhuoer why he didn't come. It turned out that he had brought gifts based on the number of people."

"It's not a gift." Li Xia said, "You'll know when you open it and take a look...Liu Jinsuo."

"Okay."

Liu Jinsuo grinned, stepped forward with a box in his hand, and opened it.

Zhang Shifei looked around and was suddenly startled. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

!!

"Rangdang" the case made a loud noise when he hit it.

Zhang Shifei stared at the box, his eyes filled with horror.

Inside is... Chu Fu's head.

This ferocious ugly man was still staring, his eyes full of anger and confusion, as if he was staring at Zhang Shifei, and he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat.

Yesterday we were talking together at Qinxiang Teahouse, but tonight we were put in a box?

"This, this, this..."

"Haha." Liu Jinsuo laughed and said, "These are the assassins sent from the north, and I killed them all!"

No one in the hall could laugh.

Only Fang Yankai looked deeply at Li Xia.

…

A banquet suddenly became boring.
