Although the price is high, he thought that if he bought it for a monopoly and went to the capital, he would definitely earn dozens of taels of silver. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, thinking that this is a chance to make a fortune, so he must buy these five statues.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is not for sale, please leave, don't be greedy."

"How about ten taels? This is my highest price." The merchant gritted his teeth and said with a heartbroken look.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said: "You are really greedy, you won't listen to any persuasion, but it doesn't matter whether you sell the poor way or not, you can ask it, if it says sell the poor way, it will sell it to you, how can you do it?" Okay?" After finishing speaking, he pointed to a wooden man next to him.

The merchant said with a smile: "The Taoist priest was joking. It is a wooden statue. Although it is lifelike, it is only a wooden statue after all. How can it talk about business?"

However, just as he finished speaking, a wooden statue glared at the merchant again and said, "Is a human life worth two taels of silver?"

The merchant's complexion changed drastically, and he turned pale in fright, and fell directly to the ground.

"How much silver is that human life worth?" Another wooden statue asked.

"Anyway, it's more than two taels of silver." A wooden baby figure came to life, giggling.

"Not for sale, not for sale." Another wooden statue refused, shaking its arms and shaking its head.

"Ghost~!"

The merchant rolled and crawled, crying and screaming as if fleeing, and disappeared without a trace after a while. He can swear in this life that he will never dare to buy wooden statues again.

Li Xiuyuan smiled, and he looked at the wooden statue again, it was still just an ordinary wooden statue, it didn't look like it was alive.

Just after he sat idle for a while, he heard the sound of a group of people coming from the street.

"Are you here? Very good, it's worth my hard work to use the method of surrogate death."

With a wave of his hand, Li Xiuyuan put away Hao Zhao and Hao's wood carvings, leaving only the wood carvings of Mrs. Hao, the old woman and the baby.

"I am the guard under the command of the King of Yue. I have come to capture the military household Hao Zhao's family under the order of the King of Yue." The guard who had left on horseback had arrived in Li County at this moment, and now he was leading a loud roar, followed by a group of government servants.

"My lord, I know Hao Zhao's family, who is at the corner of the street in the west of the city. The one with a huge jujube tree in the courtyard is his house." A yamen servant replied.

"Okay, follow me to arrest people." Zhao Rui's guard shouted.

soon.

The guard on horseback quickly ran over with a dozen yamen servants.

"This is it." A yamen servant pointed to the jujube tree next to Li Xiuyuan.

The guard immediately got off his horse and rushed in with the people.

On the street, they seemed to have broken into a private house. They stretched out their feet and kicked the door when there was nothing there, rummaged around, and acted weirdly facing the air.

Li Xiuyuan sat there motionless, as if he didn't exist, even if he was right in front of him, no one noticed.

"I found it, it's Hao Zhao's father."

"Hao Zhao's mother is also there."

"This is Hao Zhao's youngest son."

The guard said loudly: "Take them all, take them with you, and follow me."

"Yes, my lord."

A group of yamen servants pressed the three wooden statues and followed Zhao Rui's guard and left the city quickly.

After they left, Li Xiuyuan walked out slowly from the corner of the street, and then left with the group of people.

But when they escorted Hao Zhao's family to the inn, Li Xiuyuan returned to the inn within a few breaths of casting the spell.

But at this time, Hao Zhao was still kneeling at the gate of the post station and kowtowing.

Even if he is a martial arts master, with a strong body and strong body protection, his forehead is also bruised and purple at this time, and the blue bricks on the ground where he bowed his head were smashed, leaving a hole.

After Zhao Rui calmly cleaned the blood and bandaged the wound under the service of the guards, he stood up, waved his hand and said, "That's right, I am very satisfied with your performance, so you don't need to kowtow."

Hao Zhao stopped abruptly, and he no longer shed tears. Now he just desperately hopes to take his wife and leave, and when he returns to the county, he will take his whole family away without being threatened by this dog official again.

"Look at you, your head is broken, it's really pitiful." Zhao Rui sighed with a pitiful look; "But you really looked like a dog when you kowtowed just now."

"That's why you bastards are cheap. Dogs can't change eating shit. You are born to like to kowtow to this king. No, kowtow to our Zhao family. It's hard for you to kowtow so hard, haha."

After talking about it, he laughed heartily again.

"Now you can let us go." Hao Zhao knelt on the ground and lowered his head, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Hao Shi next to him buried his head in sobs, feeling helpless.

Chapter 6 and Three

It was not Zhao Rui's personal majesty that made Hao Zhao, a man with extraordinary martial arts skills, kneel and kowtow on the ground.

What makes him kneel on the ground like a dog is the morals of the world and the imperial power.

Hao Zhao didn't compromise with Zhao Rui, begging for mercy, but he couldn't resist the world and the imperial power.

Not to mention him, even Li Xiuyuan deeply understands that if he dares to kill a prince, there is no other way to go except rebellion, but for Hao Zhao, who has a family, parents, relatives and friends It is more difficult to make him rebel than to kill him.

Even if his martial arts are so powerful that he can kill all the people in the entire station, and silence them all.

so what?

The younger brother of the current official family, King Yue of the Song Dynasty, was assassinated in a post station near the official road. Can the court not be shocked?Can we investigate thoroughly?

Headhunters from the six doors, some mages enshrined by the court, and people who practice Taoism, it is easy to find the murderer.

Because he understood, Hao Zhaocai knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

And the most important thing is that this Zhao Rui has a crazy personality and is not afraid of death threats at all. Instead of being afraid of Hao Zhao's knife resting on his neck, he grabbed his knife and sent it up by himself.

If Hao Zhao hadn't pulled back his strength at that time, Zhao Rui would have committed suicide.

It was precisely because Li Xiuyuan saw all these things that he kept frowning and thinking, hoping to come up with a perfect plan.

It can not only protect the Hao Zhao family, but also prevent Zhao Rui from hating them.

The surrogate death method is the most secure spell that Li Xiuyuan feels.

Because no one holds grudges against the dead.

"You kowtowed well. This king is in a much better mood." Zhao Rui stood up and walked slowly in front of Hao Zhao.

"My lord, be careful." Mr. Liu was shocked, and hurriedly commanded the guards to protect him.
