Li was standing at the front, about to be grabbed by the shoulders.
At this time, a hand stretched out from the side.
Xiao Mu was standing five steps behind Li Zheng.
No one saw clearly how he suddenly slid next to Li Zheng and raised his hand to block the blow for Li Zheng.
It seemed to others that Xiao Mu didn't use any force and only flicked the guard's arm away with a single click.
The moment the guard armor was touched, he felt a heartbreaking pain.
He is the leader of the Xu family guard team.
I have run dozens of errands for Mr. Xu in the past and never failed, but I didn't expect that today I would fall into his trap as soon as I made a move.
His arm was so painful that he couldn't move it, and he immediately retreated sideways.
When Guard B saw that he failed to succeed with one blow, he laughed in his heart that he couldn't even deal with a villager. He raised his kick and kicked Xiao Mu in the chest.
He usually boasts of his whirlwind shadowless legs, but in Xiao Mu's opinion, his movements are too slow.
Xiao Mu gently raised his left hand, held the sole of the foot he kicked, and gently twisted it to the right. He heard a "click" and the crisp sound of bone breaking came from his ankle.
"Ah!" The heart-rending cry echoed throughout the courtyard.
Some timid women quickly covered their eyes with their hands, leaving only a small gap between their middle and index fingers to look out.
"Okay, you guys, it's so outrageous that you even dare to fight Master Xu's guards!"
The butler said, stepping back.
Seeing that their companions had suffered a loss, the remaining four guards looked at each other and rushed towards Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu took his time, clenched his fist with his left hand, reached forward with his right hand, and fought with the four people.
His body doesn't seem to be flexible, but he can always cleverly dodge the opponent's attacks.
During the fight, someone took the opportunity to attack Li Zheng again. Xiao Mu raised his leg and pushed up Li Zheng's right foot.
The right foot was raised impartially and hit the vital part of the opponent's crotch.
It all happened in an instant.
The kicked guard was rolling on the ground in pain, and the onlookers all applauded: "Uncle Li Zheng!"
"Didn't you realize that Brother Li Zheng still has this ability?"
In fact, the kick just now made Li Zheng's toes hurt.
But when he saw everyone cheering, he was too embarrassed to cry out in pain, so he had no choice but to endure it with an expressionless face.
Xu Zhongyuan had been watching the excitement from behind.
He originally thought that it would be easy for his guards to deal with this group of villagers.
He wanted to wait for the Xiao family to kneel down and beg for mercy, and then ask them to obediently hand over Xu Zishang's account books.
As for Ye Qingqing’s ex-fiancé…
Xu Zhongyuan thought: Since he dares to look down on his son, then break one of his legs and let him live like a dog in the future. This can be regarded as a relief for his son.
As a result, half the stick of incense was gone, and the guards he brought were beaten until they were pissed. One of them is still lying on the ground and has not gotten up.
"You, you are going to rebel!"
Mr. Xu was so angry that he was shaking all over: "When I report this to the county magistrate, no one in your village will be able to escape. They will all be arrested and locked up in prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another carriage came speeding along the village road.
The villagers were very curious.
Who is this coming again?
As the carriage approached, everyone could see that it was the carriage of the magistrate.
Liu Mian got off the carriage and came to Xu Zhongyuan.
Xu Zhongyuan immediately said: "My lord, you came just in time. I was going to catch these criminals who were harboring them for you, but I didn't expect you to come here in person."
"The Xiao family refuses to plead guilty, and these villagers are obstructing it. Mr. Liu, arrest them all quickly."
Seeing the county master coming, the villagers' hearts froze.
They could still stop Xu Zhongyuan from pretending to be someone from the government just now.
At worst, I won't go to his house to work part-time in the future.
But the county magistrate wanted to arrest someone, and none of them dared to stop him.
Li Zheng was so frightened that he woke up from the wine.
He looked at the county magistrate and muttered: "Sir, why are you here? Do you really want to arrest the people of Xiao Laoer's family?"
Outside the gate, more and more people gathered to watch the excitement.
Li Cuihua pushed her way in through the crowd and said while squeezing: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me take a look. I told you a long time ago that something will happen to their family sooner or later. If you had listened to me, don't let that daughter-in-law Come in, there will be so many things going on today."
The women in the village originally didn't like Li Cuihua.
In the past, like Xu Guixiang, she didn't believe what Li Cuihua said.
But now, they can't believe that this girl Ye Luoxin is indeed unlucky.
I feel sorry for Xiao Changhe's family, who have lived a peaceful life, but now they are suffering from such an unreasonable disaster.
In the Xiao family courtyard.
Liu Mian listened to Xu Zhongyuan expressionlessly. It wasn't until he stopped that he asked, "Are you done?"
"Are you done?" Xu Zhongyuan was stunned.
"Come here, arrest this person." He gave the order, and his servants immediately stepped forward and arrested Xu Zhongyuan, his son, and several guards.
Xu Zhongyuan's arm was twisted backwards.
He lowered his body, raised his head, and shouted towards Magistrate Liu: "Master Liu, what are you doing? You have arrested the wrong person!"
"Arrested the wrong person?" Liu Mian smiled coldly: "The Imperial Envoy has ordered to take Xu Zhongyuan and his son back for questioning. How could I arrest the wrong person!"
People outside the courtyard could not hear clearly what was said inside the courtyard.
Li Cuihua was still talking to others: "My son is so good, he is good at studying, and the wife he married makes people worry-free. When marrying a daughter-in-law, you must choose the right person, otherwise it will be like the Changhe family, and you will be unlucky. It might even implicate us, and how unjust we will be when the time comes."
"Stop talking, the county master is not here to arrest Xiao Changhe's family at all. The county master is here to make decisions for his family!" Someone interrupted her.
"What?" Li Cuihua was stunned.
"Are you telling the truth? What did the county master say?"
She kept asking, but everyone was stretching their necks to see what was going on inside, and no one paid any attention to her.
Magistrate Liu asked his men to arrest all Xu family members and take them aside.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Mu again, gesturing for him to follow her to the side to talk.
Xiao Mu followed his footsteps and walked to the eaves. The county magistrate said in a low voice: "What's going on? You handed the letter to the imperial envoy so quickly?"
Xiao Mu made a puzzled expression: "Sir, I didn't go? Didn't you ask for the letter back yesterday?"
"Ah?" Magistrate Liu was surprised.
"I went back after drinking tea yesterday. When should I get the letter back?"
Xiao Mu said aggrievedly: "Shortly after we separated yesterday, a man with a bamboo hat said that the Lord had found someone else to deliver the letter and there was no need for me to go.
Although I want to earn the one hundred taels of silver, since the Lord no longer trusts me, I will not do this job. "
Magistrate Liu was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead. At this moment, he could no longer suppress his voice: "You idiot, you handed over the letter without even looking at who the other party is!"
Xiao Mu looked innocent.
Magistrate Liu wanted to scold him, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was not safe enough in handling this matter.
He shouldn't have given the letter to Xiao Mu.
He is a villager and doesn't understand the cunning of the world, so he gets into other people's ways.
Fortunately, the imperial envoy seems to have known the truth of the matter.
These two letters are not that important.
Magistrate Liu hit Xiao Mu on the head and said, "I have more important things to do now. When I finish these things, I will come to settle accounts with you."
