Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

When the team arrived at the county government office, they conducted a public trial with the gates open and the people watching outside.

The county magistrate went to the court, and two rows of yamen runners kowtowed to the magistrate solemnly. The steward, the servant, Qin Zhaoyue and Wuyue, and Zhou Zonggui, who looked dissatisfied, all stood in the hall. Only two servants knelt down and kowtowed to the county magistrate, while the other three stood.

County Magistrate Liu felt ashamed for a while.

"Who are you in this hall? Why don't you kneel when you see me?" County Magistrate Liu shouted harshly.

"Old Liu! One of these two men is my aunt, you know her, right? The other one, huh, who knows who he is, he broke into a private house and made people falsely accuse me, you should give him fifty lashes!" Zhou Zonggu was even more afraid when he saw the county magistrate, and kept shouting.

Liu Qingzhou was speechless. Since Zhou Zonggui's mother passed away, no one could control him. He had done all kinds of bad things in recent years. He didn't have any brains, so he was exhausted from protecting him.

This time, the plan to frame Wu Ye for seizing someone else's sister was also his idea. For this purpose, he killed his own old servant who had always advised him and put the blame on Wu Ye.

Qin Zhaoyue had no intention of talking nonsense with them. He could figure out the cause and effect of the matter without using his brain. He took out a token the size of a fingernail from his bosom and threw it in front of Liu Qingzhou's chest.

Liu Qingzhou caught it in a panic, took a closer look, and stood up in shock.

"You...you..." He felt like a thorn in his back, fidgeting and wanting to get up from his seat and pay his respects immediately, but seeing Qin Zhaoyue remained silent and the eyes of several people behind him...

"Is Lu Jinbing in Sushui County?" Qin Zhaoyue asked.

"Yes, yes, Lord Lu is staying at the inn." Liu Qingzhou didn't dare to kneel down immediately, nor did he dare to sit upright on the high seat, so he stood up and answered.

"Call him over." Qin Zhaoyue said.

"Yes, yes, go and invite Lord Lu, go quickly!" County Magistrate Liu quickly sent someone to come.

"What do you mean, he wants to call for help?!" Zhou Zonggu opened his mouth, but was immediately scolded by County Magistrate Liu.

"Shut up!!!"

We can’t let him talk anymore, if he continues, everything will be over!

Qin Zhaoyue said nothing, just stood there waiting.

Since he has made it to the county government office intact, we cannot do anything to him for the time being.

……

Gu Yue mixed in the crowd and watched the fun.

The more he looked at the back of the man in white, the weirder he felt. This man never turned back, but his aura was totally different, a bit like the feeling that the boss of Hangdou gave him. And looking at the expression of County Magistrate Liu, he didn't sit down after receiving the thing, so he could imagine the noble status of this man.

Could it be the prince? Wasn't it said that the prince disappeared in Xiaoluo Mountain near Sushui County a while ago?

……

The yamen runners who went to the inn to ask for someone's help encountered two assassination attempts.

Wuhuo and Wuyan were waiting for this moment. The killers never thought that there was someone lurking behind the scenes. One of the four masters they sent was killed, and the remaining three were captured alive. Wuyan was quick to remove their joints and took away the poison hidden in their mouths. His technique was so skillful that the three captured people showed despair in their eyes.

"You... who are you..." The bailiff had already collapsed on the ground in fear.

"You still have official business to attend to, so go quickly. You don't want to risk your head anymore?" Wu Huo said with a smile.

Wuyan went over and helped the bailiff up.

"Don't be afraid, our people are watching nearby, you will be fine."

"Really? Look how scared you are! Once we take action, they won't attack again even if there are remnants. Go quickly." Wu Huo urged.

The bailiff escaped death and dragged his legs as thin as noodles into the inn to meet Lu Jinbing. He also said that someone was assassinated on the way and he was intercepted halfway.

When Lu Jinbing heard about this, he immediately guessed that the man in white who appeared in the court was the prince. He was excited at first, and then alert. But he was not alert to the assassin. It was obvious that someone wanted to kill him and the prince. What was abnormal was those who helped him in the middle.

"Let's go!" Lu Jinbing ran away.

"Sir, there's a killer on the street!" the bailiff shouted with a bitter face.

"If you come with me, I can still protect you, otherwise you will be a target in the inn!" Lu Jinbing walked quickly.

The bailiff was so frightened that he ran out and followed closely behind.

Passing through the alley where the yamen runner was assassinated, he saw Wuhuo and Wuyan still squatting there. The three people who were captured alive were nowhere to be found, and only a corpse in black clothes was left on the ground.

"Who are you?" Lu Jinbing stopped and looked gloomy.

Could it be that the other party's target is him?

"General Lu, don't be so fierce! I have heard of your great name for a long time, so I have been waiting here, hoping to see your demeanor." Wu Huo was still smiling, but his smile was covered by the mask, and only his pair of crooked eyes could be seen.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Lu Jinbing said coldly.

"How boring... We helped you, but you are so cold." Wu Huo complained.

Wu Yan was steady. He said, "Your Excellency's young master has entrusted me with this. He has no other purpose."

"Tianyun?" A light flashed in Lu Jinbing's eyes.

"That's right." Wu Yan said.

"Where is he? Come with me to meet the prince, and I will reward you according to your merits." Lu Jinbing's words were just a test.

Then I heard someone among them laugh softly.

No one responded to his words, only Wu Huo said: "We still have use for the living one, so I'll give this dead one to Lord Lu. Goodbye."

He and Wu Yan jumped up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jinbing's face was gloomy, not a single bit of good color. According to the description of the yamen runners, Qin Zhaoyue came alone, without any entourage. So where were his sons Lu Tianyun and Yu Hu?

I hope he was sent out by the prince to do something.

Lu Jinbing just felt anxious.

"You, go and call someone to move the body, hurry up!" Lu Jinbing scolded.

The bailiff was so frightened by his low mood that he trembled and ran away quickly, not caring about the killer hiding in the dark.

Lu Jinbing went forward to check the body.

To prevent the death from being faked, he approached carefully with a dagger in hand. Only when he saw a cut on the throat that almost cut the neck did he squat down to examine the body.

It was a human being, dead, but his body was still warm.

Lu Jinbing opened the mouth of the corpse and felt the poison pill deep in the teeth. The killer had no identification on his body, only his face looked different from the Central Plains, like a Hu from the northwest.

In addition, Lu Jinbing pulled open the killer's sleeves and found a spiral tattoo pattern consisting of three curves on the little finger of his left hand.

Lu Jinbing kept this in mind.

……

County Magistrate Liu was not completely confused, and he still remembered to put a chair for Qin Zhaoyue and Wu Yue, who he was protecting. Zhou Zonggui wanted to shout, but he was caught and detained aside. Now was not the time to consider the several thousand taels of silver from his Zhou family.

He also wanted to have someone close the gate of the county government office, but was stopped by Qin Zhaoyue.

This Zhou Zonggui was obviously not a good person, and Qin Zhaoyue intended to deal with him in public. As for this County Magistrate Liu...

Qin Zhaoyue didn't look at Liu Qingzhou. Liu Qingzhou was holding the small token in his hand and felt that he might very likely lose his job.

It's better to lose your job than to anger the prince and be beheaded!
