"The old man made a calculation. This old man is in trouble today. He is worried about his safety. I don't want to look for him... What if his knowledge of martial arts is exposed and he conflicts with the officers and soldiers?"

Zhu Xiongying's expression at this time was extremely exciting.

conflict?

Just the officers and soldiers in this town?

That's not enough to give Zhong Lao a gap between his teeth.

Even if you pull the army of the capital camp over, Mr. Zhong will be able to escape from the crowd of thousands of troops.

"Shan Zhang, you don't have to worry."

"With Mr. Zhong's skills, who can keep him? Who can kill him?"

Huo Qingshan sighed and said:

"Say so."

"But our Da Liuren's deduction is not a display... I said that he will have a calamity today, so there must be one, but I don't know if it is a major calamity or a minor calamity... What if he is plotted against?"

"So it's better to look for it."

Zhang Xin asked curiously:

"What is a great calamity? What is a small calamity?"

"The big catastrophe is the catastrophe of life and death, or the disaster of blood and light, etc.," Huo Qingshan explained, "There are many small catastrophes. A fall, a cold, or a loss of money are all small catastrophes..."

was talking.

Huo Qingshan's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked behind Zhu Xiongying and Zhang Xin.

The two turned their heads curiously...

At the gate of the academy, Mr. Zhong was standing there drunk, holding a gourd in his hand, and cursing.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Xiongying hurriedly asked:

"Old Zhong?"

"Are you OK?"

Elder Zhong supported the wooden door, raised his eyelids, saw that it was Zhu Xiongying, grinned and said:

"It's okay, it's just unlucky today... I met a group of scammers who opened a black shop. The wine was sour and sour, and it was extremely unpleasant. How dare you charge me fifty cents for a pot..."

"Isn't this stealing money?"

Listen to him.

The three people in the courtyard were all stunned.

It turns out that this is the so-called "one calamity"...

Zhu Xiongying said:

"So you taught them a lesson?"

Elder Zhong shook his head:

"No, these guys are trying to scare me and dare to use knives... A young chivalrous man passing by couldn't stand it anymore, saying that it was really abominable for them to deceive a helpless old man like this. So he sent them away for me and gave me a jug of wine."

Saying that, Mr. Zhong patted the full gourd in his hands triumphantly, and said with a smile:

"This wine is delicious, Lao Huo, do you want to drink it?"

Huo Qingshan nodded quickly and said:

"How can you not drink good wine? Come and go to my yard, and I will make two grilled fish to drink with."

Elder Zhong nodded, walked unsteadily to Zhu Xiongying's side, and said with a smile:

"Little son, I now realize that sometimes it's quite cool to 'return the old and sell the old'... The matter is resolved without my own efforts."

Zhu Xiongying said speechlessly:

"If the chivalrous man passing by knew your true identity, he would feel sorry for his pot of wine."

Mr. Zhong smashed his mouth and said:

"Young master, you are wrong. We are an old man with 'hands-on'. He is a chivalrous man. What is a pot of wine to him? Haha..."

Elder Zhong laughed loudly, ready to enjoy fine wine with Huo Qingshan.

Suddenly, there was a whimpering sound from outside the door.

I saw Master Lan Shui running into the academy with teary eyes, and he didn't care about his appearance at all.

After seeing Huo Qingshan, she immediately saluted, and then said in a crying voice:

"Mountain Chief!"

"The officers and soldiers just arrested my brother. My father is helpless. He even asked the head of the mountain to come forward...Go to the Yamen to ask the county magistrate to intercede and rescue my brother!"

Chapter 182

When Huo Qingshan heard what Lan Shuijun said, he didn't feel like drinking any more, so he quickly comforted him:

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

Mr. Lan Shui wiped away his tears, sobbed and said:

"The eldest brother in the family came back from abroad and saw someone bullying the old man on the road, so he couldn't help but teach him a lesson... But this exposed his martial arts skills."

"Now that the imperial decree has just been issued, the ban on martial arts stipulates that anyone who knows martial arts will be arrested if he uses martial arts against others. After my brother taught others, those guys even found a group of officers and soldiers to sue..."

"That group of officers and soldiers obviously took advantage of them and went directly to arrest my elder brother. My elder brother saw them as officers and soldiers. He didn't dare to take action at will for fear of hurting the family, so he had to follow them."

"Father, he spent a lot of silver, but it was useless at all. I really came to beg you because I had no other choice."

"Shanchang, don't you have an old friend with the county magistrate? Go out and ask the county magistrate to intercede, and say that my brother learned to play by himself, and he is not a martial artist at all. He shouldn't be arrested... ..."

Hear what Mr. Lan Shui said.

Zhu Xiongying and others understood the ins and outs of the matter.

At this time.

Zhu Xiongying realized something, turned to look at Mr. Zhong, frowned and said:

"Did you save an old man on the way back?"

"Wait a minute, the one his brother saved, could it be you, Mr. Zhong?"

Elder Zhong was also stunned.

"Miss Lan, how old is your elder brother, and what clothes did you wear when you came back today?"

Lan Shuijun looked at Mr. Zhong, his eyes were red and he said:

"Brother is eighteen this year, and he is wearing a dark blue Taoist uniform today. By the way, brother said that the old man he helped on the way back today is buying wine in a wine shop. The wine shop is obviously a black shop..."

Speaking of it.

Several people present understood.

Isn't this Mr. Zhong?

Elder Zhong was a little embarrassed at this moment.

He didn't expect that asking that young man to help him would cause him to be arrested by officers and soldiers.

This time, Zhong Lao was completely sober.

Huo Qingshan saw Lan Shuijun's eager face, and hurriedly comforted him:

"Don't worry, I will go to Houzhi County and tell him..."

"This ban on martial arts, although it is His Majesty's decree, it clearly states that as long as they have not committed any crimes, those who have learned martial arts before will not be held accountable... Even if your brother has learned martial arts before, it doesn't matter."

"As long as we can prove that your elder brother drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, this matter can be settled."

After speaking, without delay, he went out immediately.

Elder Zhong frowned and said:

"I'll go as well."

Zhu Xiongying said:

"Are you going too? You don't know any county magistrate Hou."

Zhong Laodao: "This Mr. Lan was arrested by the officers and soldiers for helping the old man. The old man must go to rescue him."

Mr. Lan Shui widened his eyes and said in astonishment:

"The old man that brother helped, is you?"

"Yes, at that time I saw that he was very skilled at a young age, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter..." Mr. Zhong said a little uneasy, "This time, I owe him a debt, so I have to take care of this matter."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and did not stop him, but reminded:

"But you must not be impulsive. It is best not to act until the critical moment. This matter is not serious, but if the county magistrate or officers and soldiers see that you know martial arts, it will be different."

"When this matter is exposed, you will no longer be able to stay in the academy."

Mr. Zhong said: "I know that. Young master, you can stay here and comfort Miss Lan. Let us two old men handle this matter."

After Huo Qingshan and Zhong Lao left.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Mr. Lan Shui, feeling troubled.

Mr. Zhong actually told him to comfort Mr. Lan Shui.

The key is.

How to comfort?

Zhu Xiongying is a straight man, even if he has been a man for two lifetimes, he can only say one thing to comfort a girl...

"Don't be sad, you'll be fine."

He turned to look at Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin was even more confused.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't even know how, so can he be expected to speak comfortingly?

With Zhang Xin's dull temper, it would be good if he didn't get angry with Mr. Lan Shui.

Who knows.

Mr. Lan Shui wiped away the tears by himself, took two deep breaths, and calmed down by himself.

This scene surprised both Zhu Xiongying and Zhang Xin.

You know, Mr. Lan Shui is only an eight-year-old girl... This kind of psychological adjustment ability is already stronger than many adults!

Zhang Xin asked cautiously:

"Miss Lan, are you alright?"

Lord Lan Shui looked at them and said calmly:

"Now Chief Huo Shan has gone, so he should be fine."

"You don't need to comfort me, I know it's useless for me to be anxious here."

"We'll just wait for the news."

Seeing Lan Shuijun so calm, Zhu Xiongying had to look at this girl with admiration.

He settled down to think for a while, and then said to Lan Shuijun and Zhang:

"Well, since Miss Lan has calmed down, let's go."

Zhang Xin looked at Zhu Xiongying in astonishment:

"Go? Where?"

"Shanchang Zhonglao and the others told us to stay in the academy and wait for the news?"

Lan Shuijun also looked at him with questioning eyes.

"It's not my style to wait," Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Who knows if the county magistrate Hou will intervene? Besides, the imperial decree is new, and many local officials dare not stand up at this time..."
