Without the protection of Xu Tian and the others, she did not dare to go to River East, so she had to agree to Xu Tian's plan.
Moreover, he had an unclear relationship with Xu Tian.
Only then did everyone continue to walk towards Donglai.
On this day, when they arrived at Fei Guo City, they saw two groups of people coming towards them from the main road.
There were two men in front of him. One of them was still wearing a prison uniform and was covered in injuries. His hair was disheveled. The other was holding a large knife. He was tall and had a vicious face.
Not far behind them was a group of constables dressed in bailiff uniforms.
"Don't run!"
Zao Li shouted as he chased after them. The two people who were running in front of them ran quickly, but when they saw Xu Tian and the others blocking the road, they stopped abruptly.
Both of them revealed looks of despair.
"Damn it, the heavens are blind!”The man with the knife roared at the sky.
The middle-aged man in prison uniform sighed and said,""Ba 'er, leave quickly. Don't worry about me.”
"Father! If they were to die, they would die together. Ba 'er would never live in disgrace.”The man with the knife said to Xu Tian and the others,""Everyone, please make way. If we don't die, we will repay your kindness in the future.”
"Heroes in front, don't let these two go. They killed the Mayor, quickly help us capture him.”
Xu Tian and the others were surprised.
Good heavens, he actually killed the Taishan County Mayor.
Xu Tian immediately said,"Fu Hu, Man Cheng, take down these two thieves!" I want him alive."
"Yes, my lord!"
Dian Wei and Li Dian accepted the order and left the team. Li Qian was afraid that the two of them would run away, so he said,"Prefecture Lord, I'll bring some men to surround them.”
Xu Tian didn't refuse and said,""Good!"
Thus, Li Qian and his son led 500 men to seal off the surrounding roads.
Dian Wei swung his short halberd and charged at the saber-wielding man, while Li Dian charged at the middle-aged man in prison uniform.
Dian and Wei exchanged blows first. Their sabers and halberds met in the air, sending sparks flying. Then, the two of them attacked and retreated. One swung his saber while the other blocked. They fought together.
It had to be said that the man with the knife was quite capable. Xu Tian knew Dian Wei's strength the best.
This person actually took several moves head-on, and he could even counterattack and dodge. His martial arts skills were not bad.
However, in the end, he was no match for Dian Wei. After eighteen rounds, his saber was knocked off and he was kicked to the ground by Dian Wei.
However, this person did not yield. He charged at Dian Wei with his bare hands. Dian Wei remembered Xu Tian's instructions and abandoned his short halberd. He also fought with his bare hands.
However, in the end, that person was still a bit weaker and was thrown to the ground by Dian Wei before being caught.
As for Li Dian, he had already subdued the middle-aged man.
Seeing that the two of them had been captured, the officers were overjoyed. They walked forward and said,"Thank you, heroes, for capturing these two thieves.”
After saying that, the officials wanted to go up and hand over the items, but Xu Tian did not say anything. Li Dian and Dian Wei also ignored them.
Zao Li looked at Xu Tian pleadingly.
"Tell me what crime they have committed and why they killed your governor," Xu Tian said.”
To dare to kill the prefect was not something an ordinary person could do.
There must be something hidden.
The officials only said that they had killed the prefect, and the rest of their voices were unknown. They stammered and did not dare to say anything else.
Xu Tian looked at the two people who had been taken down." They won't tell you why they killed the prefect. You should know that it's a serious crime. It's unforgivable."”
The person who was restrained by Dian Wei turned his head and said nothing. Only the middle-aged man in prison uniform sighed and said,"Hero, you may not know this, but I was originally the chief of the county prison. Because the prefect wanted to kill a prisoner privately, I refused and was falsely accused and imprisoned.
My son Zang Ba was young and reckless, so he didn't know the danger and invited his friends and relatives to break into the prison, so…!”
Needless to say, the young man with the evil aura not only saved his father, but also took revenge. He even killed the prefect.
The Taishan prefect had died unjustly, but it wasn't.
"Oh! I see." Xu Tian nodded. He finally understood. This matter was simple but not simple at the same time.
Things were simple, but people were not.
"Heroes, since the matter is clear, please hand over the criminal to us for punishment.”One of the officers said impatiently.
Xu Tian glanced at him and whispered to Xi Zhi,""Tell him who I am. I'm going to take these two away.”
Xi Zhicai understood Xu Tian's meaning and walked out.""How dare you! Do you know that the person in front of you is the Lord of Donglai Prefecture? Since these two thieves have been captured by us, the Lord of Donglai Prefecture will deal with them.”
What? This was the prefect?
So young?
Zang Ba and his son almost fainted. How could they be so unlucky to run into the head of a county?
Officials protect each other, relatives hide each other
He was dead this time.
"But this…"
Zao Li did not know what to do for a moment. He definitely could not beat him, but he said that he was the prefect. There was no proof.
"What? Don't tell me you want to check my documents? Not to mention you, even if your prefect is resurrected, he doesn't have the authority to do so.”Xu Tian saw that they didn't give way and shouted,"
"I will take these two away. If you are afraid that it will be difficult to report back, let the new prefect go to Donglai in the future. I will give him an explanation. Now, retreat quickly. Otherwise, we will take them down as bandits.”
The prefect had just died. Who knew how many months it would be before the new prefect came?
Forget it, let the people above have a headache. Looking at Xu Tian and his gang's murderous looks, a black official turned around and ran away.
After Zao Li left, Xu Tian ordered his men to escort Zang Ba and his son for some distance before saying,""This place is rather remote.”
Are you going to kill me and my son here?
Zang Ba thought unwillingly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tian walked over and slashed the ropes on their bodies.?
"This…!"
Zang Ba and his son were dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn't he supposed to finish them off here?
"Let's go. One of you is a law-abiding and dutiful official; A filial son who risked his life to save his father should not die an unnatural death.”Xu Tian looked at the two of them and explained.
Zang Ba and his son knelt down and said,""Thank you, Lord Prefect. Lord Prefect is righteous. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts and will definitely remember it.”
The two of them stood up after bowing. Zang Ba hesitated for a moment before asking,"Lord Prefect, if we leave like this today, how will you explain this to Taishan County?”
One had to know that the person they killed was not an ordinary person, but a county magistrate.
Xu Tian smiled and said to Guo Jia,"Fengxiao, you're smart. You can think of something."?”
Guo Jia smiled at Zang Ba and said," You don't have to worry about that. At most, I'll just make up a story and let you guys escape in the middle of the night. Hmm, that should be enough reason.”
"Ugh!"
Zang Ba and his son's faces twitched upon hearing this. This was a good and flawless reason.
"Thank you very much." Zang Ba's father, Cang Jie, cupped his hands and thanked Guo Jia once again. Lord Xu was right.
The two of them felt much more at ease. Just as they were about to leave, Xu Tian shouted,"Wait!"
Zang Ba and his son stopped and turned around to wait for Xu Tian to speak.
"May I ask what your plans are?" Xu Tian asked.”
