After hearing the words of the soldiers at the city gate, Liu Xin felt angry. Didn't he only know that there was a county magistrate but not a prefect? It was simply unbearable for his uncle, but not for his aunt. At that moment, he said to Dian Wei: "If evil comes, you are below."
Wait for me and watch me go up to the top of the city."
Liu Xin rode his horse to the edge of the city. Although he didn't know how to do light kung fu and couldn't jump several feet high, he had the skill of a gecko walking on a wall, which was a bit like the Spider-Man of later generations. This Hejian County city has no moat, and the city wall doesn't count.
The building level at that time was high, and the walls were far from smooth. Liu Xin jumped off the horse, untied the reins, took out several flying knives from his waist, tied them on the ropes, and targeted the city bricks.
The gap in the city wall was flung hard, and the flying knife got stuck in the gap, but it was still one meter away from the top of the city. Liu Xin pulled the reins with both hands, and used his hands and feet to use the uneven places on the city wall, like rock climbing.
Generally speaking, he rushed up after three times. The soldiers guarding the city stood under the city gate and scolded Dian Wei, but they didn't know that Liu Xin had arrived at the top of the city in the morning. Liu Xin rushed to his side in a few steps, and
He put a fork around his neck and shouted sternly: "Go down quickly and open the city gate!"
The soldier was choked by Liu Xin, and he was speechless. He could only bow with both hands. Liu Xin let go of his hand, and the soldier fell to his knees with a "plop" and kowtowed. He kept saying: "Strong man"
Spare your life, brave man, spare your life."
Liu Xin said angrily: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. I am the new governor. Go and open the city gate!"
The soldiers trembled and got down from the tower and opened the city gate with a creak. Dian Wei rushed in on horseback and raised his iron halberd. Liu Xin hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt his life." Dian Wei heard the shout.
, his hand turned aside, and the crescent moon of the iron halberd cut off half of the soldier's hair along with his scalp. The soldier was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. Liu Xin ignored him, got on his horse, and ran towards the prefect's mansion with his whip raised.
When he came to the gate of the prefect's mansion, he saw that the gate was wide open and there was no sergeant guarding the door. Liu Xin was surprised and led Dian Wei straight to the back hall. Liu Xin opened the door of the back house and saw a cold light.
He flashed past, turned aside, and with a "beep" sound, a flying knife was nailed to the door panel. Liu Xin took a look under the moonlight and saw that it was his own flying knife. His heart suddenly tightened and he kicked hard.
He kicked open the door and said loudly: "Honey, you're okay!"
I heard a surprised cry from inside the room: "Husband, you are back!"
Liu Xin entered the room and saw an oil lamp on the table. Ma Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hair disheveled. She was kneeling with two people. Dian Wei now admired Liu Xin's skills so much that he did not follow him into the room.
Guarding the door with double iron halberds.
Liu Xin walked closer and saw two people kneeling, a man and a woman. The woman was Erya, with a pale face and a trembling body. The man did not recognize him and was handcuffed with his hands behind his back.
The handcuffs that were used to handcuff Liu Xin back then, and a torn rag stuffed in her mouth, were obviously the work of Ma Yun.
Liu Xin walked to Ma Yun and sat down next to her, and asked strangely: "Could it be that these two people have an adulterous affair? They are a pair of adulterers."
When Ma Yun saw Liu Xin coming back, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She threw herself into Liu Xin's arms and said with tears in her eyes: "If you come back one day later, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me. It's really dangerous at night."
It turned out that this man was a captain in the Hejian Army, his name was Li Lin, and he was the nephew of the county magistrate Li Cheng. There were five Li Cheng brothers, and Li Cheng was the second oldest, but only his youngest brother gave birth to such a son.
The whole family had doted on Li Lin since he was a child. After the former eunuch was excluded by Li Cheng and resigned, Li Cheng helped him find an official position as a school captain. Li Lin had been idle since he was a child, and he liked to play with women the most. He often visited Huajieliu Lane.
After he became a school captain, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers and ruffians, who started even more misbehavior and gained a new hobby - harming women from good families.
When Liu Xin arrived at Hejian that day, Li Lin was also among the welcoming team. There were too many people at that time, and Liu Xin didn't notice him at all. However, Li Lin was shocked when he saw Ma Yun's beauty in the crowd.
People, who have been looking for an opportunity to play with this prefect’s wife all day long, must feel so beautiful. Although Liu Xingui is the prefect, Li Lin is not afraid of him. In Hejian County, the Li and Zhang families are the largest families, and Liu Xingui is the prefect.
Xin was just a lonely man. There were only two sergeants guarding the gate of the prefecture, and they were all close associates arranged by Li Lin. The family of Erya, the maid in the mansion, was also controlled by Li Cheng.
When Li Lin learned that Liu Xin took Dian Wei out of the city and did not come back until the city gate was closed, he felt that the opportunity had come. He wanted to have an overlord forcefully attack him tonight. As long as he succeeded, he would not be afraid that she would not listen to him in the future.
Li Lin made up his mind and quietly came to the prefect's mansion in the dead of night. The people guarding the door were all his cronies. They had already received orders to open the door, and the two sergeants also stayed away. As for the layout of the prefect's mansion,
Li Lin was more familiar with Liu Xin than Liu Xin, and he went straight to the back house with ease. In the afternoon, he took advantage of Erya's opportunity to go shopping to make an appointment with her. Li Lin lightly slapped her twice outside the door, and Erya then
Open the door.
It happened that Ma Yun was missing Liu Xin and couldn't sleep alone. She was tossing and turning in bed. Suddenly she heard Erya talking to someone outside. It seemed like a man's voice. She couldn't help but get suspicious, so she quietly got out of bed and tiptoed behind the door.
Listen to what they say.
The two people's voices outside were so low that Ma Yun couldn't hear clearly, but she felt footsteps coming towards the inside. She was horrified, but the door to the inside was not bolted, and the throwing knife was not in hand. While hesitating, the door opened.
She was pushed away gently. Ma Yun hurriedly hid aside, only to see a man sneaking in sneakily and walking straight towards the bedside.
Ma Yun suddenly rushed behind the man and shouted: "Stop!" The man was startled when he heard the shout from behind him. When he turned around, Ma Yun was already prepared and raised his right leg.
, the knee was pressing against his lower body.
That man was Li Lin. Although he was a school captain, he had no abilities. He was caught off guard by Ma Yun's female self-defense skills. He heard a scream of "Ouch" and Li Lin covered his lower body.
He collapsed on the ground. Ma Yun didn't stop and kicked him hard in the abdomen. Li Lin had never suffered like this since he was a child. He was rolling all over the floor in pain. Ma Yun took the opportunity to run to the bed.
He turned his head and pulled out the handcuffs. Regardless of Li Lin's screams and wails, he pulled his hands behind his back and cuffed him with a "click" sound.
When Erya outside saw the movement inside, she panicked. She walked in and knelt down, crying loudly and begging Madam for forgiveness. Ma Yun did not dare to close her eyes all night, forcing Li Lin to kneel next to Erya and holding her hands.
He sat on the edge of the bed with a flying knife and asked everything clearly. When he was thinking about what to do after dawn, Liu Xin and Dian Wei came back.
Liu Xin knew what happened and comforted Ma Yun: "Honey, you are scared. These guys are so bold, I will never let them go. Dian Wei, drag this guy out and tie him to the elm tree in the yard."
Go find all those children again."
Dian Wei strode in, grabbed Li Lin, and lifted him up like a little chicken. Liu Xin also followed him out, handcuffed Li Lin to a tree, turned around, returned to the room, and asked Erya: "I
How are you treated by your wife?"
When Erya saw Liu Xin asking about her, she hurriedly kowtowed and said with tears: "Master, my wife is very kind to this slave. This slave has only had a full meal for the first time in so many years since she was born. I have no choice but to help him if I don't agree to help him."
He threatened to kill my whole family."
Liu Xin snorted coldly and said: "Erya, do you know what your identity is now? You are the slave I bought back. You have no relationship with your original family. Haven't you figured this out yet? He
Threatening your family, won’t you tell me and my wife?”
Erya heard the unkind tone from Liu Xin's question. In desperation, she knelt down in front of Ma Yun and said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me, madam. I will never do it again next time."
Dare you."
At this time, Dian Wei brought all the children in. Although the prefect's mansion was large, the population of Liu Xin's family was small, so these children lived in the yard not far from the back house. In fact, Li Lin's screams and screams at night were
They all heard Ma Yun's angry screams during interrogation. But they were still children, and they were bullied in Yaxing. When they heard these voices in the middle of the night, they were all so frightened that they shivered under their blankets. No one could
They didn't dare to come out to see what was going on. Now that they were suddenly brought into the back house and saw Erya kneeling in front of the lady with tears streaming down her face, the legs of the children could not help but tremble.
Ma Yun still liked this smart maid. Seeing her begging, she said to Liu Xin: "Husband, she is just a child, and it's excusable. Besides, I haven't been hurt at all, so I might as well forget it.
."
Liu Xin said flatly: "No, it's too dangerous this time. If I hadn't come back early, I don't know what trouble would have happened. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, and she will be punished if she makes a mistake.
However, for the sake of her young age, I will spare her the death penalty and return her to the dental clinic."
When Erya heard Liu Xin's words, she secretly complained and returned to the tooth shop. If no one came to buy her for a while, her only option would be to be sold into a prostitute. Suddenly she felt dizzy and fainted.
Liu Xin ignored Erya who was lying on the ground and said to the group of children: "You have all seen that Erya is a spy sent by the county magistrate Li Cheng. Now that the incident has happened, Li Cheng can't protect her. I think
Li Cheng can't just send one spy here. Who among you is sent by him? Come forward as soon as possible. As long as no big mistake is made, I will let it go. If I find out, the end will be worse than Erya.
."
Ma Yun heard Liu Xin's fierce words and whispered in his ear: "Forget it, they are still children. Don't scare them. How could Li Cheng arrange so many spies?"
Before he finished speaking, a little boy fell to his knees and said, "Master, madam, I was forced to do so, but I have never done anything to disgrace the master and his wife."
Soon, another boy and two girls knelt on the ground. At this moment, there was a commotion outside and a group of people broke in.
