Chapter 167

The teacup shattered with the sound, and the hot tea splashed everywhere.

The yamen servant who was kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the steps was scratched by the broken porcelain on his cheek, and immediately bleed bright red blood.

But he gritted his teeth and remained motionless, lest the magistrate's anger increase and be vented on himself.

"waste!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"Untouchables!"

"Terrorist!"

"A group of troublemakers!"

The county magistrate had a grim face, he clenched his fists tightly, and there were bulging veins on the back of his hands.

Since the announcement of the reward was issued, for three consecutive days, there was not even a single person who provided clues or even reported Liu Bei. It is obvious that those untouchables are already poor and skinny, and their homes have no fixed homes.

In contrast.

Among the people who came to report the case, nine out of ten sued Zhou Jian for committing crimes and oppressing the people, and asked the county magistrate to enforce the law impartially.

Are these untouchables blind?
The reward is obviously for exposing Liu Bei, so why expose Zhou Jian one by one?
The county magistrate couldn't figure it out, so he could only threaten and lure the unruly people who sued Zhou Jian away.

Just now he sent away a troublemaker who sued Zhou Jian, and after learning why he came to sue Zhou Jian, the county magistrate couldn't hold back his anger any longer and broke a beloved teacup.

If all good people are arrested, the county magistrate will definitely kill relatives righteously!

When he thought of this sentence, the county magistrate's anger could not be calmed down for a long time.

On the generous official chair, the county magistrate's chest heaved violently, panting like a cow, and the armrests of the chair were almost broken by him.

After a long time, a sternness flashed across the county magistrate's face.

……

At the gate of the county seat.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The dark-faced, strong-bodied cavalry rushed to the city gate, cracked their whips, and shouted loudly at the same time.

The refugees and the people who entered the city hurriedly retreated three feet.

Soon, a single carriage, escorted by two teams of cavalry, slowly drove into the city gate.

Where did this officer come from?

There were actually dozens of tough cavalry escorting them all the way.

After the carriage entered the city, the people and refugees on both sides lined up again, talking a lot.

On the streets in the city, the cavalry was flanked by people who were staying away from each other.

suddenly.

The carriage stopped, and a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man raised the gauze curtain and waved to a cavalryman.

The cavalry immediately approached the carriage.

The middle-aged man muttered a few words, and the cavalry immediately found a woman in the crowd.

"What's your name?" A sharp voice came from inside the carriage.

"Hui, Master Hui, I, my name is Cuihua."

The woman with shabby clothes and dirt on her face replied tremblingly.

On the outskirts of the cavalry, a man holding a child in one hand and clenching his fist in the other was glaring at the carriage.

"Are they your family?" the white-faced beardless man pointed at the hairy man.

"Sir, spare your life! Your lord, spare your life!"

"I am willing to go with the adults, please let them go!"

Cuihua looked in the direction pointed by the white-faced man, her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down and kowtowed.

"Haha, the miscellaneous parents look so bad?" the white-faced man asked.

"No, it's not!" Cuihua said with tears in her eyes.

"The miscellaneous family just wanted to ask the way, and it seems to scare you, alas, do you know where Liu Bei is now?" the white-faced man said.

"Ah, Mr. Liu Dashan? He, he..."

Cuihua raised her head and glanced at the white-faced man in surprise, then glanced left and right at the cavalrymen on both sides.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing, not a bad thing."

"Oh, my lord, Mr. Liu Dashan is serving porridge in Beicheng District today. When your lord arrives in Beicheng District, just ask around." Cuihua said with a sigh of relief.

"Why do you call him Liu Dashanren?"

When Cuihua heard the words, a radiance suddenly bloomed on her face.

I saw her spitting, and began to count how Liu Bei did things by himself, was kind to others, and tried his best to protect the orphans and widows.

The white-faced, beardless man showed no trace of impatience, and only occasionally asked a few questions.

After talking for a full quarter of an hour, Cuihua stopped with a sense of satisfaction.

The white-faced man nodded, took out several copper coins from his sleeve, threw them on the ground, and then put down the gauze curtain.

"The money is for you, you can go."

After the voice in the car came out.

Cuihua, who was kneeling outside the car, kowtowed happily a few times, then picked up the money and wiped it clean, got up and walked quickly back to the man with the money.

The expensive single carriage drove away under the escort of cavalry.

The blood in the man's eyes slowly receded, and he asked, "Daughter-in-law, what are they looking for you for?"

Cuihua said: "It's nothing, just asking where Mr. Liu Dashan is, and why everyone calls him Mr. Liu Dashan."

"Is that so, let's go too."

After the distributing man finished speaking, Cuihua took the child's hand from him and went to Beicheng District together.

……

"Thank you big brother!"

The little girl in blue who had just received the porridge stepped aside, blinked her big eyes and said softly to Liu Bei.

"Hello, big brother!"

The little girl in gray clothes took a step forward with a bowl in hand and said unwillingly.

Suddenly, the eyes of the little girl in blue and the little girl in gray collided, and there seemed to be electric sparks in the air.

"Okay, everything is fine," Liu Bei smiled gently.

"Humph!"

The two little girls snorted and turned their heads at the same time.

At this time, there was a commotion behind the refugee team, and the noise gradually became louder, and it spread to the front of the team.

Liu Bei looked up and saw a carriage slowly heading towards him under the escort of cavalry.

"Everyone, don't mess around! My elder brother is here!"

As soon as the thunderous roar came out, the refugees slowly quieted down, as if Liu Bei's name had a calming magic power.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Brother Dashan is here, so I'm not afraid!"

"The good man is here, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

The refugees whispered, and then looked at the cavalry with inexplicable eyes.

I saw the expensive carriage stopped two feet away from Liu Bei, and then the groom jumped out of the carriage, quickly rolled up the gauze curtain, and waited respectfully.

Afterwards, a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man bent over and walked out slowly.

After coming out, the white-faced man straightened his back, looked around, and then looked at a man with droopy ears and shoulders not far away.

This person has long ears, long hands, and a face like a crown of jade. He must be Liu Bei.

"Which one is Liu Bei?" the white-faced man asked sharply.

Liu Bei took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "It's Liu Bei, I don't know..."

The white-faced man nodded, smiled kindly, took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve, and said loudly, "Liu Bei accepts the order!"

The cavalry team was the first to kneel down, followed by Liu Bei and all the refugees.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: There is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, after King Jing of Zhongshan, who have both ability and political integrity, excellent character and learning, and are specially appointed as the magistrate of Zhuojun County, hereby!"

After the long coda.

The white-faced man rolled up the bright yellow scroll and looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor!" Liu Bei took the imperial edict and got up immediately.

Then, there was a bang.

All the refugees exploded on the spot, as if they had heard a great news.

 ——Monthly ticket plus change.
