Han Yong avoided pedestrians all the way and soon arrived on the South Street of Lianshan Town. At this time, a crossbar has been erected on the street at the exit of South Street, and the length is just right to block the entire street entrance. Judging from the texture of the crossbar, it looks like a slender ginkgo tree. The branches at the top of the tree have simply been cut off. There are even some small branches left in some places. In addition, there are irregular knife and ax marks on both ends of the tree. The whole "level" looks crude and rough. For the military, it is not important whether it is exquisite or not. What is important is how to make it simple, fast and effective. Tiger Wing Guard was naturally familiar with setting up checkpoints like this. While blocking the street entrance, he had already borrowed tables and chairs from the shops next to them and placed them next to them. The young Marquis Feng Jun was currently sitting on the Grand Master's chair behind the table, squinting his eyes as he looked at the noisy business travelers gathered in front of the checkpoint, wondering what he was thinking. The business travelers were a little excited, but no one dared to come forward to speak. They all just stood aside and whispered to each other, presumably discussing how to get these uncles to let them go as soon as possible. For merchants, keeping goods for one more day means less profit and more risk. The crowd slowly gathered, and more and more Lianshan Town residents poured towards South Street, quickly blocking half of the street. At the checkpoint at the street entrance, I saw a donkey cart overturned on the road. The donkey pulling the cart also fell to the ground. It was still staring at its hooves trying to get up. Cabbage was trampled to pieces on the ground. And the middle-aged coachman who was squatting on the ground and crying softly, told the people who came behind him what happened just now. The middle-aged driver is in ragged clothes and has a weathered look on his face. His right hand holding the donkey whip is dark and rough, covered with calluses and cracks. His left hand, which is also dark and rough, is holding the last intact cabbage in his arms. He didn't let go, looking up pitifully at the black-armored sergeant standing in front of him, muttering words that he didn't even understand. The black-armored sergeant showed a look of reluctance on his face, but he did not dare to disobey the military order. After hesitating for a moment, he found that the superior behind him did not say anything. In desperation, he could only squat down and reach out to pull out the last cabbage. When the driver snatched it from his arms, he heard an old voice shouting: "Stop, stop it. It's so unreasonable, so unreasonable? As soldiers, you should be fighting the enemy on the battlefield, but how can you do that?" Come to Lianshan Town to harm the people? Our great Chu has been in peace for thousands of years. Now that the Holy King is in power, the world is at peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can we allow you to be wanton and rampant, ahem" The old voice was not loud, but it spoke volumes. Sonorous and powerful, without the slightest hint of fear. Maybe he spoke a little too hastily, and for a moment he couldn't breathe and started coughing non-stop. The black-armored sergeant couldn't help but be stunned. Ever since he and his group set up checkpoints at the street entrance, business travel had been blocked, but they only dared to hide aside and watch the fun. They looked like they were hoping that others would come forward, which made them look down upon. . Then I looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a middle-aged man supporting an old man with white hair, slowly walking along the street towards the intersection. He coughed as he walked. The middle-aged man kept coughing. The ground gave him a pat on the back. The old man did not stop because of his cough. He still walked quickly toward the checkpoint on crutches. The crowds he passed gave way, and even the townspeople of Lianshan Town bowed and saluted, but whispered in their mouths. He said: "Old Mayor (Note 1), please take care of your health. Although these people bully others too much, it is not worth getting your body angry" At this time, the old man had already walked up to the black-armored sergeant, and slowly Slowly stood up straight and looked at the cabbages that were trampled to pieces on the ground, with a look of pain in his eyes. He pushed away the middle-aged man who had been supporting him, looked up at the young soldier in front of him and said, "This is it." How can I, a soldier of Dachu, come to harm the good people instead of defending against the enemy?" The old man was thin, with a gaunt face, and his face was as wrinkled as a knife and an axe. His originally kind and kind eyes were But he looked a little sharp because of anxiety and anger. Although his height was less than the black-armored sergeant's chin, he raised his head and stared straight into the black-armored sergeant's eyes, showing no sign of flinching or fear. The black-armored sergeant had no expression on his face, but there was a clear trace of relief in his eyes. He originally didn't want to do such a thing of bullying the people, but the military orders were so heavy that he had to overturn the donkey cart against his will and pick up a cabbage. A cabbage patch was trampled and inspected. The old man in front of him looked like he was in his final years. He had to take three breaths to speak a word. Maybe the black-armored sergeant could blow him to the ground with just one breath. However, the upright aura revealed by the old man and the angry and hurt look in his eyes made the black-armored sergeant dare not look at him. He subconsciously turned his eyes away to look at Feng Junhou, waiting for his superior's order. At this time, Han Yong had already arrived at the intersection of South Street, but was blocked by a crowd of people and couldn't get in. He had already heardThe old mayor asked the sergeant in an old voice, feeling anxious in his heart. The old mayor is an upright person. No matter who comes to Lianshan Town to do business, if he is deceived or bullied, he will deal with it impartially and will never take sides. If the townspeople are bullied, he will take the lead to stand up. He leads everyone to seek justice and never flinches out of fear of his own safety, so he is highly respected by business travelers and townspeople. But the Feng Junhou who led the team this time was not an ordinary person, but came from a wealthy family at the top of Da Chu. I am afraid he would not give the old mayor any face. Even if identity is put aside, checkpoints are set up at street corners to search for merchants and travelers, but the general personally issued the military order, and anyone who obstructs them will be punished as treason. With the old mayor's current behavior, Feng Junhou could use chicken feathers as command arrows, first label him as an obstruction to emergency military affairs, and then chop him down. Even if something happens, with his Status can be completely eliminated, and a scapegoat will naturally come forward to take the blame. In a hurry, Han Yong directly tied the horse to the maple tree on the roadside, and then pushed through the crowd with all his strength, trying to pull the old mayor down before Feng Junhou attacked. Han Yong's father passed away when he was still young. It was really inconvenient for Aunt Han to live alone with two children. She received a lot of care from the old mayor, so she always regarded the old mayor as a grandfather in her heart and would never watch it. Something happened to him. Seeing that Han Yong was about to squeeze in front of him, Feng Junhou, who had been sitting still, suddenly stood up, walked slowly to the old mayor, and stared at the old man coldly for a long time. The old man also refused to back down, standing tremblingly in front of Feng Junhou with a cane, refusing to give an inch. Just as everyone held their breath and looked nervously at the two people confronting each other in the street, Feng Junhou suddenly bowed his hands and saluted and said with a smile: "You must be Mayor Zhao? Junior Feng Yi, the cursive character is Zifan, From the Feng family in the capital. The younger generation has heard of Mayor Zhao's reputation more than once in the capital. Several censors have recommended you because of your uprightness and hope that you can become an official in the capital, but you have been reluctant to do so. After leaving his hometown, he declined politely. I didn't expect that after meeting him today, I would realize that being famous is not worth mentioning to a noble person. Said, "I am old and incompetent. I have also read the "Laws of Chu" familiarly. I know that the laws of Chu state stipulate that except during wars, the army is not allowed to enter local towns and villages, let alone interfere with local government affairs. Violators will be punished for treason. " Here, the old man turned around and pointed at the rotten cabbage on the ground and the donkey lane lying aside: "The noble man has a noble status and is well-informed. He must be more familiar with the "Laws of Chu" than we are, but I don't know that you are now Did what he did violate the laws in the "Laws of Chu"? " Feng Yi raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He originally thought that he was identifying himself, not only as a nobleman from the capital, but also as a nobleman from the capital. He even knew that the censor recommended him, so he was naturally not comparable to ordinary aristocratic families. I hoped that the old man could retreat from the difficulties and not make everyone unhappy. But it was unexpected that this old man, like a stone in a latrine, would actually talk to me about the law. Doesn't he know that the so-called law has no effect on a wealthy family like his? Since he is shameless, he has nothing to be polite about. Anyway, the general has made it clear that anyone who dares to stop him will be arrested first. Thinking of this, Feng Yi's expression did not change, but his eyes gradually became cold, and he sneered and said: "Old mayor, this junior is just a rough guy in the army. He doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, so how can he read it?" Do you understand the "Laws of Chu"? All I know is that the general has ordered that all markets within a radius of three hundred miles of Lianshan Town be sealed off. All passing merchants must be inspected before they can be released. If anyone dares to stop" "Someone dares to stop, yes. Don't we have to pull him down and chop him down first?" When the old mayor saw the other party turning against him, he turned from a gentle and elegant young man to an unreasonable scoundrel in an instant, and his face turned red with anger. , even breathing was a little uncomfortable. The middle-aged man behind him had a worried look on his face, but seeing Feng Yi's gloomy face and already putting his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, he was really scared and hesitated to step forward and pat the old man's back. "So majestic and murderous. It seems that the noble man is planning to kill in our Lianshan Town?" Just when the middle-aged man hesitated, another old man's voice sounded. An old man with gray hair and a goatee squeezed out of the crowd. He was Li Mu's third uncle. Behind the third uncle were several elderly people of similar age, who walked together to the old mayor and looked at Feng Junhou with a sneer. Cold sweat began to break out on Han Yong¡¯s forehead. He looked palely at the familiar faces of the elders in the street ahead, feeling frightened in his heart.die. These elders are all extremely upright people. At the beginning, Aunt Han was a prostitute and had no relatives in Lianshan Town. They were able to avoid being bullied by her husband's relatives after Han Dagui's death. These elders contributed a lot. Therefore, Han Yong has always regarded these elders as his relatives, which is one of the reasons why even though Li Mu was in trouble, when Han Jincui wanted to give the jade lock to Li Mu, Han Yong did not stop him. Because he respects these elders, and since Li Mu is the grandnephew of his third uncle, his character should be justified. At this time, Feng Yi's face became extremely ugly. He no longer had the gentle and elegant demeanor of a young man from aristocratic families at the beginning. After being repeatedly contradicted by several ordinary people, one can imagine the anger in his heart. At that moment, he resisted the urge to draw his sword and kill. He turned his head and looked around a few times. When he saw everyone staring here with bated breath, he couldn't help but sneered: "The old man is serious. As a sergeant of Da Chu, how could I treat Da Chu so badly?" The people of Chu are killing people? But if the elders prevent the juniors from performing military duties, it will definitely ruin the general's affairs, because the juniors will have no choice but to feel sorry" "Hey, you don't need to blame us, don't we think of our age? Don¡¯t you understand this?¡± Before Marquis Feng could order the arrest, the third uncle said with a sneer, ¡°The general asked the nobles to search the traveling merchants, it must be for military and national affairs, so it¡¯s not easy for me and the common people to stop him¡± Feng Yi couldn't help but frown. The third uncle's words seemed to be soft, but the words always sounded unpleasant. But no matter what, the other party finally showed some intention to give in, and Feng Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could forcibly arrest a few people, but the identities of a few old men were unknown, there was no guarantee that some of the younger men would get involved with officials in the DPRK and make a fuss at the DPRK meeting, even if they couldn't do anything to him. It will inevitably cause a lot of irritation. ¡°Children of aristocratic families like him have all received a good education and are the best at analyzing benefits and harms. Although they seem to have unlimited glory, there are countless eyes watching secretly, and countless brothers from the same clan are waiting for them to step on their heads to climb up after they make a mistake. Therefore, if it can be solved without force, try not to use force. While Feng Yi was thinking, the third uncle pointed at the cabbage on the ground and said: "But the search you are talking about is the rotten cabbage on the ground? Can people be hidden in this rotten cabbage, or is it a rare treasure? Could it be your noble man? Do you want to follow the example of your ancestors and offer a bowl of 'Ruyi White Jade Soup' to the general?" Several old men present couldn't help but smile sarcastically, and a few people on the side of the road accidentally laughed out loud, just for a moment. Then he reacted and covered his mouth. Looking at the livid-faced young Junhou in the street, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, fearing that the other party had seen that he had just laughed at him. Feng Junhou's face changed from green to white several times, and finally he showed a ferocious expression and shouted sternly: "Okay, okay, since you guys are shameless and still want to ridicule me, then no wonder I don't give you face." "Come here, arrest all these old men, and when the matter is over, they will all be punished for obstructing military affairs." Han Yong blinked in the crowd and didn't understand what the third uncle said. There¡¯s nothing particularly funny about it! How could Marquis Feng Jun, who had always acted like a member of a noble family, be so angry? Seeing several black-armored sergeants hesitating to step forward to take someone away, how could the elders endure the pain of prison when they were already old? Even if he could be released afterwards, whether he would be alive or not is still a matter of opinion. Han Yong couldn't help but feel anxious. He would rather be punished for disobeying military orders than seeing the elders who had taken care of him suffer. At that moment, he couldn't think of any other way. He pushed forward and squeezed out of the crowd, shouting loudly. "Wait a minute" "Wait a minute" A young man's voice suddenly sounded, and Han Yong's expression changed again. He recognized that it was Li Mu's voice. He wanted to go up and strangle this kid to death. What else could he do if he came out at this time and wanted to die? At the same time, the old mayor paused hard on the ground with his crutch, and shouted sternly: "Wait a minute" Three voices sounded at the same time, which made people feel indescribably weird. Yi frowned, raised his hand to stop the black-armored sergeant, glanced at Han Yong who squeezed out of the crowd with a sullen face, then turned to look at the old mayor and said: "Mayor Zhao, please tell me" Note 1: It was originally supposed to be the mayor of the township, but for convenience, it is written as the mayor of the town.
