Yesterday, Xu Lin went to class monitor Zhou's house to cause a ruckus. Then, he went to drink with his gang of scoundrels. After he got drunk, he stayed at a prostitute's house. He didn't come back until this morning. After he got home, Xu Lin went to sleep. Although the girl was cursing the Guo family next door, Xu Lin was used to her cursing, so he didn't think it was noisy.
He didn't think that when he was sleepy, he suddenly heard the girl scream. Xu Lin was woken up and was very angry. He angrily jumped off the floor. Wearing only a pair of pants, he angrily scolded, "What are you making a ruckus for? Is it the Guo family's bastards that came to cause trouble?"
Xu Lin said as he walked out. He had only taken a few steps when the door curtain was pulled down by someone. Xu Lin was startled, and when he raised his head to look, he saw a pair of large feet flying towards him, kicking him and causing him to fall to the ground. His mouth tasted like dirt, and two of his teeth had been kicked out.
"Who the f * ck …"
Xu Lin was enraged. Before he could finish cursing, Ye Xiaotian released his hands from the door frame, jumped down, and pounced on Xu Lin. He raised his sheathed saber and ruthlessly chopped down on Xu Lin's head. Although the saber was sheathed, blood spurted out when it hit Xu Lin's head, flowing all over Xu Lin's face.
Xu Lin was frightened by this person's fierce appearance. He sat on the ground in a daze and didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Xiaotian put the knife back on his waist and shouted, "Take him away!"
The bailiffs always carried small chains when they went out. They immediately went forward and put Xu Lin under the chains. Only then did Xu Lin react. He angrily scolded, "You have big dog guts. You actually dare to arrest me. Do you know who I am? I am Master Qi's brother. "
Ye Xiaotian took the ruler from Xu Haoran's hand and slowly walked to Xu Lin's side. He fiercely looked at him and said, "Master? Brother? Does your family like to talk about seniority? "
Xu Lin said, "I …"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ye Xiaotian raised the ruler and slapped him on the mouth. Xu Lin let out a muffled groan as blood flowed from his mouth. He was no longer able to speak and looked at Ye Xiaotian with fear in his eyes.
"Take him away!"
As soon as Ye Xiaotian gave the order, Ma Hui and Xu Haoran dragged Xu Lin out like a dead dog. Ye Xiaotian walked at the front with his head held high. When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Xu Xiaoyu standing there in fear. Ye Xiaotian glared at her fiercely, scaring her so much that she took two steps back in panic.
Ye Xiaotian snorted coldly. He kicked the door open and walked out. Xu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Ma Hui and Xu Haoran dragging her brother away. When she could no longer see Ye Xiaotian's back, she screamed, "I'm going to sue you! You beat a good citizen for no reason! I will sue you … "
"Xu"
Li Yuncong, who was walking at the back, put his finger to his lips and gestured for her to be quiet. Li Yuncong's bad habit of running his mouth acted up again. He said sarcastically, "Miss Xiao Yu, the Buddha is merciful and magnanimous, but it's useless to cram at the last minute. To cram at the last minute … Think about it …"
Li Yuncong took two steps forward and suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something. He turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Listen to my kind advice. Don't provoke him. Our Warden is crazy. When he goes crazy, he won't recognize anyone. Even I was beaten badly by him."
Xu Xiaoyu sneered. "A crazy person can be an official? Are you trying to scare me? "
Li Yuncong spread his hands and said, "Who says it isn't? But this world is just so unfair. But … no matter how insignificant the Warden is, he is still an official. He is an official appointed by the imperial court. Do you know what an appointed official is? If you want to remove him from office, you can't unless the Ministry of Personnel issues a document and the Emperor approves it. Do you want to go to the capital and lodge a complaint? Do you know where the capital's gate opens? "
Xu Xiaoyu choked. Li Yuncong had enough of his taunts. He laughed and walked out with his butt shaking. Suddenly, he felt that it was not bad to follow someone like Ye Xiaotian. At least he didn't have to pretend to be a grandson when he went out.
…
Hua Yunfei stood on the street. Qi Mu's mansion was opposite him. It was a very luxurious place. The gate was open and many guests came in and out. Most of them were Jianghu people. Hua Yunfei adjusted the position of his bow and retreated to the shadow of the eaves.
Hua Yunfei stood there quietly and calmly observed the situation at the gate. Soon, he moved to another place and continued to observe. His parents were killed by a group of animals. He came to Hulu County to kill animals. He was a hunter. Naturally, he had to use the hunter's method to kill animals.
His hunting skills were passed down from his father. When he became an excellent hunter, he often sparred with the Yi and Miao hunters in the mountains. Now, he could catch deer, pheasants, and other animals with his bare hands.
He could choose a bush to squat down and disguise himself. Then, he would put a bamboo leaf or tree leaf in his mouth and imitate the call of a female deer in spring to lure a male deer, or a male deer to lure a female deer. When the deer was attracted by the call of the opposite sex and came to seek sex, he would suddenly attack and capture it alive.
He could also use a whistle made from chicken bones to imitate the cry of a chick to catch an old pheasant, a hen to catch a rooster, and a rooster to catch a hen. Other than that, he could also use the 'fishing method', 'chicken bait', 'buckle method', 'net method', and other methods to catch prey with his bare hands.
Against large animals, it was time for him to show his bravery. He was good with his knife, and even better with his arrows. He was an excellent hunter. But now, he had to face the most ferocious animals, and … there was more than one.
Hua Yunfei didn't think that he would be able to leave alive after challenging the famous Uncle Qi. Although he was an excellent hunter, he was alone, and Qi Mu was the scariest tiger in Hulu County.
Moreover, he didn't want to deal with just Qi Mu alone. Other than Qi Mu's bodyguards and thugs, he also wanted to find the people who directly attacked his parents. He didn't want to let a single one of them go.
As a result, he couldn't act rashly. He needed to be fully prepared. At the very least, he needed to find out who was at the Valley of Green Mountains that day.
A hunter was always patient, even if he wanted to catch his prey immediately. Hua Yunfei patiently investigated. Qi Mu, the great tiger, didn't realize that he was being watched by a terrifying hunter.
After Ye Xiaotian tied up Xu Lin and left, he immediately sent someone to pass the message to the Guo family, telling them to go to the yamen immediately. Early in the morning, the Guo family was scolded by Xu Xiaoyu next door. But after Guo Lifeng was beaten to death, the Guo family didn't dare to offend the Xu family anymore. They could only cry bitterly in each other's arms.
When Ye Xiaotian sent someone to summon them, the Guo family came out and saw Xu Lin with a bloody nose and a swollen face. His head was like a bloody gourd, and he was already captured. They couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Ye Xiaotian detained Xu Lin and left with the Guo family's victims. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street.
When the ruffian youth who had been fanning the flames in front of Xu Lin yesterday saw the arrogant Big Brother Xu in such a sorry state, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a frightened expression.
Ye Xiaotian brought Xu Lin and the Guo family's victims to the yamen. He ordered the Guo family, "Beat the drum to complain about the injustice!"
The Guo family naturally obeyed the order. Amidst the rumbling drum, Ye Xiaotian was the first to step into the yamen.
In the second hall of the yamen, Magistrate Hua was sitting there doing nothing. There weren't many things to do in Hulu County, and they were all divided between County Magistrate Meng and Register Wang. His position as the County Magistrate was purely for show. But the rule of sitting in the hall every day couldn't be abolished. If it was abolished, he would have even less sense of existence.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of drums coming from the front of the yamen. Magistrate Hua was suddenly excited. Finally, someone was beating the drum. It would be good to be able to show his face in the hall. But he didn't know what kind of trivial matter it was. It was basically impossible for something big to happen. The people of Hulu County had long given up on the yamen. If something big happened, it would either be settled by the strongmen themselves, or the people would just swallow their anger. No one came to the yamen to complain about the injustice. But, what if it was really something big that he couldn't handle …
Just because of the court, Magistrate Hua fell into a fierce mental struggle. Before he could come to a conclusion, Ye Xiaotian walked in quickly. Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands and said, "Your Honor, someone is beating the drum. Why is the First Master not going to court yet?"
Magistrate Hua's expression turned serious. He waved his hand and said, "I … I have an important matter to deal with. Let's ask the front of the yamen who is beating the drum and why they are complaining about the injustice. I don't want to trouble the First Master for trivial matters."
Ye Xiaotian said with a straight face, "I was about to talk to Your Honor about this matter. The people beating the drum outside are the Guo family. The murderer, Xu Lin, has been arrested. This is not a trivial matter. It is a matter of life and death. The First Master can go to court now."
Magistrate Hua's expression changed, "Didn't I say that this case will be handed over to County Magistrate Meng? You don't need to deal with it."
Ye Xiaotian spread out his hands and said, "But the murderer is wandering around in front of us. The victim's family is complaining. We can't pretend that we didn't see it, can we? Now that the murderer has been arrested, the victim is complaining about the injustice. First Master, no matter what, you have to go to court and ask the First Master. "
When County Magistrate Hua didn't have any power in his hands, he longed to have it. But when he really had the power, he was overcautious and indecisive, feeling uneasy. He didn't have many dealings with Qi Mu, but he knew him very well. He dared not offend this person.
Magistrate Hua was secretly annoyed at Ye Xiaotian for being a busybody. But the drumming outside seemed to be urging him to go to court. Magistrate Hua hesitated for a while. Despite Ye Xiaotian's repeated urging, he still refused to go to court. At this moment, a light cough was heard from outside. County Magistrate Meng walked in with a gloomy face.
County Magistrate Meng saw Ye Xiaotian and immediately glared at him, "Ai Dian Shi, who gave you permission to arrest people?"
Ye Xiaotian was annoyed and said in a deep voice, "Magistrate, this is my duty. How can I refuse?"
County Magistrate Meng shouted, "Nonsense, have you forgotten …"
Ye Xiaotian sneered, "Of course I didn't ask. But the person who wants me to forget my real identity and be a Warden seriously is also you! County Magistrate Meng, I'm ringing the bell as long as I'm a monk. But since I'm a monk, I must ring the bell! "
"Bang! Bang! Bang … "
Outside, the drumbeats came one after another, accompanied by Ye Xiaotian's powerful words. Magistrate Meng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
Magistrate Hua looked at County Magistrate Meng blankly and said in a negotiating tone, "Why don't we just go to court? They have already sounded the Grievance Drum. Everyone inside and outside the government heard it. If we ignore it, it's really inexcusable, and no one in our government will care about it. "
County Magistrate Meng was about to object, but he changed his mind and sneered, "Magistrate, whether to go to court or not, it's up to you. I can't say no."
He looked up to the sky and laughed strangely, then turned around and left. Magistrate Hua saw that Magistrate Meng didn't object, he was secretly relieved and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Go to court, go to court, I will go to court now. Men, quickly bring this official's robe over! "
