Looking at Liu Hongji, who turned into a demolition team without saying a word after entering the house, Ma Zhou felt that his brain suddenly had a short circuit!
Is it possible that General Liu has stopped being a general recently? Has he gone back to his old profession?
"Shh..."
And just as Ma Zhou stared at Liu Hongji dumbfounded, wondering if he should hurry up and report to the official... Ugh! Aren't he an official?
At this time, Xiao Han also entered the lobby under the protection of Jiayi and others.
"It's me! Lord Ma, long time no see?" When he saw the panicked Ma Zhou behind the desk, Xiao Han pushed aside Jia Yi who was blocking him and showed a smile to Ma Zhou.
"Master Xiaohou?" Suddenly seeing a familiar figure again, Ma Zhou was stunned again! His head, which was already confused, turned into a puddle of mush.
"You... you..."
"Leave us alone! Close the door first!"
Over there, Liu Hongji, who was holding a stool leg, saw that the two of them still had time to chat, and immediately shouted with a dark face!
Gouzi was always smart, and without Liu Hongji's orders, he had already asked someone to close the wide open door of the government office tightly, completely cutting off the sight of the government office and the outside.
"boom……"
The door slammed shut, and Liu Hongji and Xiao Han's expressions obviously relaxed, especially Lao Liu, who sat down directly in the ruins he smashed and began to breathe heavily!
"I'm tired, I'm exhausted! I'll take a rest first, and you guys can continue smashing, don't stop!"
"Then...smash?"
Hearing Liu Hongji's "shameless" remarks and looking at the lobby that he had ruined, Ma Zhou's mouth trembled twice, and an unknown fire rose up!
"Stop! Stop everyone!"
Ma Zhou suddenly jumped out from behind the desk, his hair and beard all tangled, he was about to rush over and fight Liu Hongji desperately!
Good guy, bullies don’t bully like this! You are also an official of the imperial court after all! Are you not going to save any face for yourself?
However, although Ma Zhou was determined to kill the thief, his bean sprout-like physique was really not enough.
As soon as he rushed to Liu Hongji's side, before his fist could be swung out, Old Liu casually pushed him away and he staggered out.
If Xiaodong hadn't realized that the situation was bad and quickly gave him a hand, he would probably have crashed into a pillar.
"You...you!"
Holding Xiaodong's arm tightly, Ma Zhou's eyes turned red! He was about to yell that I will go to His Majesty to sue you! But it didn't matter. The next second, Jia Yi beside Xiao Han actually pulled out a knife,
Cut it down with one knife.
"brush……"
After the crisp sound of the knife, Ma Zhou's eyes changed from frightened and angry to horrified, and then from horrified to confused.
This knife did not strike him, but struck the Serenity sign next to him. The sharp long knife directly cut the huge sign into two pieces.
——————————————————————
"The fight started!"
"It's under the knife!"
At this time, outside the government office.
The government servants who had escaped before had all come back and were leaning against the gate of the government office to listen to what was going on inside.
Behind the yamen, several middle-aged people dressed as wealthy people were also anxiously waiting for news from the yamen.
"Will anyone be killed?"
"No! We have already made an agreement with them! All we need to do is humiliate the person named Ma and then take away his official credentials!"
"Are these people reliable? I just saw why they were a little stupid?"
"Reliable? This is someone from Heifeng Village before! Professional!"
Outside the gate, a group of people listened anxiously to the clanging and ping-pong-pong sounds inside.
Inside the gate, Ma Zhou was also feeling cold all over at this moment, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
"Who have you offended recently? Who wants to bribe the bandits to harm you?" Xiao Han asked Ma Zhou in a low voice.
"Harm me?" Ma Zhou looked at Xiao Han blankly and shook his head subconsciously.
"Impossible!" Xiao Han stared at Ma Zhou and said flatly, "Someone must want to harm you! Not only did they bribe the bandits, they also bribed the government servants around you! Just now they mistakenly identified me and Lao Liu as mountain bandits.
Thief, just wink and let us come in and kill you!"
"ah……"
After hearing this, Ma Zhou finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed softly on the ground.
When he heard the government officials calling them bandits just now, he thought they had recognized the wrong person. Now when he heard Xiao Han say this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Let’s not talk about showing the way. Even if they recognize the wrong person, they should resist at least, right? If it doesn’t work, you can just pretend and run away?
Then it would be the same as now, each running faster than the other, for fear that someone would stay behind and delay the bandits' work!
"Could it be them?!"
Although Ma Zhou is a bit pedantic, he is not stupid! At first, he didn't think about it at all, but now after being nudged by Xiao Han, he immediately thought of the wealthy squires in the city!
He has no grievances against others in Jinan! If anyone wants to harm him, who else can bribe the government servants and other city residents? Besides the rich squires whose land he expropriated, who else can they do?
"Are they the landowners in the city? Have you told them that you want to expropriate the land?" Seeing Ma Zhou's expression becoming uncertain, Xiao Han suddenly asked.
"Yes... Huh? How do you know?" Ma Zhou was startled and subconsciously looked up at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han sneered, and thought to himself, "Nonsense! Even in later generations, how many lives have been lost due to land expropriation? Let alone now, who doesn't treat their own land as a treasure? If you want to rob their treasure, no wonder others want to
Your life!"
"Ahem, now is not the time to talk about this!" Xiao Han cleared his throat, glanced at Liu Hongji, and said, "Since they mistook us for bandits, the real bandits will definitely come soon! We
It's better to use the trick and play with them!"
"Oh? Have fun? How to play?" Liu Hongji immediately became interested when he heard this, jumped up and patted his butt and asked.
"A mountain bandit, aren't they just killing people and selling goods, and doing business that their relatives don't recognize?" Xiao Han smiled sinisterly, and his eyes slowly turned to the gate of the government office.
"Oh, do you want to..." Liu Hongji's eyes widened quickly, and his mouth opened wide.
"Brother! Are those people trustworthy?"
"That's right, how can we invite bandits into the city to rob us? Are they trying to trick us?"
Outside Jinan City, a group of about forty or fifty people was walking towards Jinan City.
The leader of the team is a one-eyed man with two long scars on his face, which adds a bit of toughness to his already sinister face!
"Damage us?" After hearing the concerns of the younger brothers, the one-eyed man spit on the ground and sneered, "How dare they!"
"Maybe they don't dare..." Upon hearing this, one of the minions shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice, "But I heard that a man named Niu and a man named Ma came to Jinan City. They are not oil-saving lamps.
