Watching Li Zhi and Father Liu talking about state affairs, Liu Xin `er just watched quietly.
Other than serving tea and water, she did not say anything else. She was a virtuous woman.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion.
"Bad news, Old Master! The soldiers are here to arrest you!"
An elderly butler came into the courtyard, panting, and shouted at Father Liu.
"What?"
Mr. Liu stood up immediately. He had just returned from the capital, and with his intelligence, he knew that the magistrate of Lingzhou would know about his visit.
However, he didn't expect the magistrate to act so quickly.
He had just stepped into the house when his soldiers came to arrest him.
It seemed that when he had just entered the capital, he had already been monitored by these guys.
"Young Master Mu, I've felt like old friends with you since the first time we met. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today. This old man may not be talented, but I believe that my judgment of people is still good.”
"So, Young Master Mu, please take my daughter and run away. This is the Spiritual State, the territory of the magistrate. Since he has already sent his soldiers to capture me, he will naturally not let my Liu family off.”
"This old master only has one daughter, Xin `er. I hope that Young Master Mu can take her far away.”
After saying that, Father Liu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mansion.
He did not even have the thought of running away. Since they had already attacked, Liu Zhenghai would not be able to escape today.
"Father!"
Liu Xin `er's eyes were filled with grief. Just as she was about to chase after him, she was pulled back by Li Zhi.
"Uncle has his own ideas. He wants to buy time for us. We can't let uncle's painstaking efforts go to waste.”
Li Zhi said. Ye Gucheng had already gone to the military camp of the Inner Pass Road to mobilize soldiers. If he was fast, Ye Gucheng would be back tomorrow night. After all, as a legendary expert, his flying speed was very fast.
Therefore, Li Zhi couldn't be impulsive at this time. Could he run out and tell those soldiers that he was the Crown Prince of the Great Tang?
No one would believe that. They might even accuse themselves of insulting the royal family.
"Xin `er, quickly leave with Young Master Mu. Remember, if something happens to your father, you must not think of avenging your father. Duke Kui is not someone we can afford to provoke.”
After saying that, Liu Zhenghai strode away.
Li Zhi fell silent as he watched Liu Zhenghai leave.
This matter made Li Zhi feel a little troubled. One had to know that Kui Duke Liu Hongji was a fierce general. It could even be said that Liu Hongji's old subordinates were more or less present in the various military camps of the Great Tang.
None of the twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion were simple.
They had accompanied Li Shiming all the way here, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they had some trusted subordinates in the army.
Li Zhi was most afraid that Liu Hongji would go all out and mobilize the army to rebel!
Although the possibility of this was not high, it was definitely possible! This was because these valiant generals who dominated the battlefield never knew what fear was. If they really had no choice, Li Zhi really could not guarantee that war would not break out at any moment.
At this moment, Li Zhi was even a little worried. Would there be any problems with the camp that Ye Gucheng went to?
He brought Liu Xin `er to change into a set of cloth clothes, and then secretly escaped from the Liu family mansion with his head and face covered. He went around to the front door and arrived at the main gate of the Liu residence.
At this moment, the place was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. It seemed that the magistrate of Lingzhou really cared about Father Liu. After all, Mr. Liu was a famous businessman in the Spiritual State. If he really went all out to cause trouble, they would be in trouble.
"Master Liu, please come with us.”
A shifty-eyed middle-aged man said to Liu Zhenghai.
He was wearing a seventh-grade official robe. It seemed that he was the county magistrate of Kaiyang County.
This was the Inner Pass Road, so most of the county officials were seventh-grade officials. If it was in a more remote area, the county magistrate's grade would sometimes be lower. This was not certain.
Even a ninth-grade county magistrate had one.
"Hmph, Magistrate Wang, let me ask you, what crime have I, Liu Zhenghai, committed? How dare you come to arrest me in broad daylight?”
Liu Zhenghai raised his head and asked fearlessly.
County Magistrate Wang's face sank, and then he laughed coldly,""Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin! Do I need a reason to arrest you?”
"In the Spiritual State, other than the Magistrate, I, Wang Er, have the final say!”
Looking at this County Magistrate Wang who was like a local ruffian, Li Zhi frowned deeply. It seemed that there was indeed a lot of filth hidden under the golden age!
This was the Inner Pass, the foot of the Son of Heaven!
However, such an important county magistrate, a seventh-grade official of the imperial court, was actually held by a local ruffian? Li Zhi looked at Mo Yang and the way he spoke. He could basically be sure that this guy had not even studied.
However, this kind of person could actually become an official? Li Zhi could even imagine what kind of life the people of Kaiyang City were living under his rule.
"Men, seal up the Liu residence. Put everyone in jail and leave no one alive!”
County Magistrate Wang waved his hand and said.
He was really arrogant and lawless. He actually wanted to seize a large family and arrest dozens of people without any reason!
Li Zhi was truly enlightened. There was actually such a thing in the Great Tang. If that was the case in the pass, what about the places far away from the capital? How much more darkness would there be?
