fake prince

Chapter 1290 Xu Lu
Gaohua County, not far from Fufu

The powder wall in the north of the city is a place where the families of officials gather. It is extremely prosperous, but it is also protected by patrolmen, and it has always been peaceful.

But at this moment, there was a cry.

Although the local people knew that such a thing had nothing to do with their own people, they didn't dare to take a closer look. Even the most courageous people stayed away and stretched their necks to look at the place where the incident happened.

It seems that in front of the screen wall of the county captain's mansion, there are densely packed people, some of whom are obviously servants sent by the yamen, standing in front of the gate with their hands down.

There are even more troops lined up in two rows, holding spears and pressing knives, full of murderous aura.

With eyes focused on the mansion, armored soldiers rushed in. The man waved his hand and said sharply, "Immediately arrest him with your arms tied and kneel in the open space!"

An old man was horrified at first, and then yelled: "I am a Juren, and my son is the eighth-rank official of the imperial court. Without the imperial court's order, you have no right to arrest me!"

The house servant subconsciously stood in front.

"prick!"

The spear pierced straight, only a few puffs were heard, and the severe pain immediately spread all over the body, resisting the person in front, looking at the big bloody hole in his body, screamed horribly, and rolled back and forth on the ground.

Ah!
Seeing this miserable situation, the people who were approaching immediately exploded, and a large group of people ran away, and several of them were obviously warriors.

"kill!"

Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, the army only listened to an order, and seven or eight spears stabbed again.

There was another scream, and the two people who rushed in front were stabbed by several spears. The old man looked at the situation in front of him, dumbfounded, and furious: "How dare you kill someone without trial..."

Before he finished speaking, a armored soldier rushed forward and hit a heavy spear in the face. Immediately, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to his knees involuntarily, and screamed loudly!

"Everyone must not act rashly, or they will be killed!"

All the armored soldiers who broke in had their faces ashen, and their swords gleamed coldly in the sun.

"come out!"

"what!"

Another one was pulled out from the secret room, and the armored soldiers pulled their hair and dragged it fiercely.

For those who toasted and refused to eat fine wine, the armored soldiers were naturally not polite, and if they walked slowly, the spear body hit them heavily.

噗

Those who were hit, even young and strong men, couldn't help but turn pale and cry out in pain.

If it was a female family member, she would really be staggered, or even fell to the ground, looking miserable.

The armored soldiers treated their female relatives mercilessly.

And those who saw this scene, as long as they have a little knowledge, can know that the people in this house are really facing a big event this time, and they are doomed.

Because there is a set of unspoken rules that most people will abide by in the officialdom, that is, as long as there is a little room for tolerance, those who are responsible for ransacking or arresting the family members of the same officials will be slightly lenient towards the family members of the same officials, so as not to make trouble too ugly.

After all, today is this family's turn, who knows if it will be my family's turn in the future?

The head of the house is Xu Lu, the county captain!
Although the county lieutenant is from the eighth rank, he is an assistant to the county magistrate just like the master book, but has more real power than the eighth rank county magistrate.

After all, the head of a county is the county magistrate.

The county magistrate is regarded as the chief officer, and the county magistrate is regarded as the deputy chief executive, so it seems weak, and sometimes there are some conflicts with the county magistrate that are not likely to be put on the table, and most of them are ignored.

The master book and the county lieutenant are one article and one military, and they really handle the specific work.

As long as the county magistrate has the means to hold his subordinates, the master book and the county lieutenant can become the right-hand man of the county magistrate.

The county lieutenant serves as the county magistrate's assistant officer, in charge of law and order and arresting robbers. Generally, in the local area, he can enjoy both black and white.

It's not that such a person has no room for maneuver, and it's impossible for such a person to make trouble like this.

There are more than [-] people who have been searched out.

"Where's Xu Lu?" Fang Xi glanced gloomyly, but didn't see the most important person, the county magistrate.

"Master Fang!" While speaking, a headhunter trotted over, only about forty years old, capable and quick: "The man must be inside, if you can't catch it for a while, there is a secret way"

"But here is close to the river, there is a lot of water, and the secret road cannot be dug long."

"The humble job has already sent people to listen to the underground, and has set up defenses at several points around it. As long as it shows up, it will naturally be captured!"

Life is seven feet, and the world is hard to hide.

Fang Xi used to read legends and miscellaneous notes, so he naturally underestimated the arrest of the yamen's head. Now that he has been a real official and done a lot of errands, he really understands that there may be flaws in big strategy and small tactics. The people below are doing everything without revealing anything.

And what he can drive is this official body!

Although she realized it, Fang Xi remained calm, with no expression on her face: "Take it down quickly, don't cause any problems!"

"Yes!" The head catcher bowed to answer, got up and issued orders again and again, just for a moment, a small but enough net had already been laid.

"Run away!"

A middle-aged man crawled along the underground path with a livid face, followed by a young man.

This secret room is different from the secret room that was quickly discovered by the armored soldiers. It is more hidden. It is located under a big bed and leads directly to the outside of the mansion.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the owner of the house, the county lieutenant himself, was about to escape through the secret passage.

"If I escape, there will be a way out!"

If the official court locks him up, he has no intention of resisting or escaping, but this is not the case. This is just a battle between the emperor and his grandson.

As long as he escapes, when the emperor wins, not only will he be innocent, but he might even get promoted and make a fortune.

As for the family members, as long as they don't get caught, they will suffer a little, and there will be no serious problems.

"Wait, all of this will be retribution to you tenfold!"

Even if he held a grudge, out of bureaucratic instinct, Xu Lu didn't dare to hate the grandson before the emperor abolished the grandson, but hated Fang Xi and Zhang Dai to the bone.

When there was a lot of crying and shouting outside, Xu Lu had already crawled to the other end of the secret passage.

But after pushing it up, the exit that should have been pushed from the inside was easily pushed.

Xu Lu's face changed, and he realized that the situation was wrong, so he immediately backed away, but it was obviously too late.

"My lord, this is indeed a secret passage..." A voice came from outside.

After a cup of tea, Xu Lu was dragged out of the house like a dead dog.

Among the people who were taken out, Xu Lu still kept a bit of dignity, but he was dragged out after him, his hands and feet were twisted unnaturally, and bones could even be seen.

"Ouch! That person, is that person dead?" Someone stretched his neck to watch in the distance, with a shocked expression on his face, he asked the person who was also watching in a low voice.

"It's not dead, look, it's still moving!"

"What's the matter with him?" The head catcher who rushed over glanced at him and asked.

The yamen officer who was in charge of escorting him out, someone replied: "This kid is very loyal, and he still wants to protect the Lord at this point. His hands and feet were broken. Don't worry, he won't die."

"Just don't let him die. All of them, especially the male, may be accomplices. None of them can be let go. Those who are still alive must be escorted back smoothly."

"Yes!"
