Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 220 Song Yuan
Cure the plague?

Song Yuan, who is the acting magistrate, immediately frowned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Absurd, what does treating the plague have to do with you breaking into the yamen? Medicine saves people, how can you lead people into the yamen for a disagreement, I know you are a person who knows the righteousness, but I didn't expect that you are also a person who talks nonsense."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Master Zhifu, can you listen to Wan Sheng's words?"

"You still have sophistry?" Song Yuan said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It wasn't the yamen that Wansheng forced his way into, but the Town God's Temple. There are ghosts and gods entrenched in the temple. Now that there is a plague in the city, Wansheng naturally wants to come here to ask the ghosts and gods to see how much the ghosts and gods know about the plague. This is the best way to prescribe the right medicine, but when Cai Wansheng came here just now, he found that the Temple of the City God has been changed into the magistrate's office, so he had no choice but to break in, I hope you understand, any more time wasted now, the more life of the people in the city will be in danger."

"After a long time, you came to worship gods and pray for Buddha. It's ridiculous. You can't be a three-year-old kid when you're an official. Scholars know that you don't speak strangely. As a scholar, you actually open your mouth to talk about ghosts and gods. It's really stupid, I actually wasted time listening to your explanation here, come and take down these lunatics, if they resist, they will be killed immediately." Song Yuan shouted.

This official is different from the previous magistrate. Although the previous magistrate was timid and fearful, he was also a person who knew how to measure, and his heart was not so cruel. Now the acting magistrate is a bit too vicious.

Just because he forced his way into the yamen, he was going to take it down and kill him.

You must know that this is not a serious Yamen, strictly speaking, this is just the Temple of the City God.

The court's law has regulations on the yamen, and the location of the yamen cannot be decided casually.

In other words, it is actually not a crime to break into the Temple of the City God.

Of course, the official word is two mouthfuls, and as an agent magistrate, he can say whatever he wants, after all, the situation in this city is different from before.

Following Song Yuan's order, the nearby soldiers rushed over, ready to take Li Xiuyuan and others down.

"Hey~!"

Immediately, an arrow flew towards Li Xiuyuan from nowhere.

Li Xiuyuan immediately reacted, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the flying arrow landed firmly in his hand. His ten years of martial arts skills, he really thought that his practice was for nothing.

"Humph."

He snorted heavily, and with the force of his palm, the arrow snapped instantly.

"Xing Shan."

Since this official is so unreasonable and ruthless, I don't need to be polite to him.

Xing Shan's eyes flashed at this moment, he took out the big bow behind his back, took out several arrows one after another, and shot them out one after another, only heard a few rustling sounds, the arrows flew out together without distinction.

"Straight arrows?"

An archer holding a bow and arrow on the nearby temple wall was shocked and wanted to escape over the wall.

As an archer, he still doesn't know that anyone who can shoot arrows with one hand is a first-class marksman, and he can't fight against them. When encountering such a master, he can only run. There is no doubt that he must die.

But the arrows flew in instantly, the archer had just climbed over the wall and before he landed, an arrow passed through his back, piercing him completely.

"Ah~!"

With a scream, the archer turned over and fell to the ground and died.

The remaining arrows all flew towards Song Yuan, who was acting as the magistrate.

Two arrows passed through the soldiers in front, one left and one right, and hit the loose official robe under Song Yuan's arm. The remaining force brought him to hit the courtyard wall next to him, nailing him to the wall .

"Next arrow, I can shoot through your head."

Xing Shan said in a deep voice, a big bow has been drawn and pointed at Song Yuan's head.

Song Yuan's face turned pale from fright and trembled all over.

"grown ups."

Seeing this, the soldiers at the side rushed over and stood in front of Song Yuan.

Song Yuan gathered his mind at this time, and shouted loudly: "Li Xiuyuan, do you dare to kill officials and rebel?"

"Hey, young master, what are you talking about with this dog official? Why don't you just send him on the road now? Save yourself here and watch the people you care about." Wu Fei touched his bald head and pulled out the big knife at his waist, his face showing grinning.

Kill the officer?
It's not that Wu Fei hasn't killed him before, besides, he was a well-known robber in Wang Chuanshan.

If he hadn't been recruited by Li Xiuyuan, he would still be a robber right now.

Therefore, he really has nothing to fear from the government.

Li Xiuyuan glared at Wu Fei, this guy is really addicted to killing officials.

The last time the county magistrate died, I had no choice but to act cruelly. If I didn’t kill the county magistrate, my Li family would be ruined, but the Song Yuan in front of me is not comparable to a county magistrate. Come here for disaster relief, no matter what, you are a relatively important official above the court.

If he died here, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't be able to get rid of the responsibility, and he wouldn't be able to hide it no matter what.

It's not as good as when I was in the county, I was premeditated and prepared to act.

"What are you still doing here in a daze, and you haven't given me a hand to arrest this villain who broke into the yamen without permission."

Seeing the protection of the nearby soldiers, Song Yuan calmed down for a while, and then hurriedly shouted.

The other soldiers roared when they heard this, and rushed towards Li Xiuyuan and the others with swords and guns in hand.

"Young master, it's time to do it now." Wu Fei held a big knife, eager to try.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's fun for a while, and sooner or later it will ruin the big thing. There's no need for a little conflict to cause irreparable trouble. You all retreat and wait until I capture that Song Yuan."

After speaking, he took out the golden spear from the ghost king's bag.

Seeing that such a big gun could be taken out of the small cloth bag, the soldiers rushing over were stunned immediately, each of them seemed to be taken aback by this miraculous thing, after all, they were ordinary people , I have never seen such a miraculous baby.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xiuyuan rushed over with a big gun in his hand.

With a flick of the big gun, three or five soldiers flew out backwards, and knocked down to the ground together with their companions behind.

The big gun weighing 72 jin is a big killer when swung. This soldier will break several bones when he touches it, and he can't resist it at all.

I saw Li Xiuyuan shooting out alone with a big gun. Everywhere he passed was turned upside down. The soldiers fell to the ground and howled in pain, unable to stand up again.

"Isn't it inappropriate to let the young master go alone?" Xing Shan whispered, the big bow in his hand was ready to shoot at any time.

"Don't worry, there are only dozens of people, the young master can handle it, as long as you guard against back arrows, you see that the young master's martial arts has improved again, tsk tsk, if I fight with the young master, I will be picked and killed within three moves .” Wu Fei was filled with admiration in his eyes.

The reason why he is loyal and willing to be Li Xiuyuan's subordinate, besides having a good head, is that he admires Li Xiuyuan's strength.

Don't look at this young master who is dressed as a scholar, with a gentle appearance, he is a fierce general when he really fights.

"Quick, stop this Li Xiuyuan quickly." Song Yuan shouted anxiously as he tore his clothes and got out from the wall.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan coming to kill him alone with a big gun, he also looked like he had seen a ghost.

When did the scholar become so vigorous?
However, there were more than 30 soldiers here, and most of them fell to the ground after being picked up by Li Xiuyuan's big gun.

"Ah~!"

Five or six soldiers standing in front of Song Yuan shouted and rushed over.

"Go away."

Li Xiuyuan threw his big gun sideways forward, raised his foot and kicked again,
The big gun slammed into it like a beam, and five or six soldiers fell to the ground with a cry of pain, clutching their chests and howling in pain, not knowing how many internal injuries they had suffered.

At this time, all the soldiers on the left and right had fallen to the ground, Song Yuan was sweating profusely, at this moment he finally tore the official robe, fell off the wall, and then fled in a hurry.

Don't look at his majestic appearance before, but now he is like a bereaved dog, frightened.

But Song Yuan didn't have soldiers to protect him, how could he escape by himself.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan drove over and put one arm in his hand, then stretched out his hand and shook it.

Hearing Song Yuan's painful cry, he slumped limply on the ground, all the joints and muscles in his body seemed to be torn apart, and he couldn't exert any more strength.

Li Xiuyuan's shake is famous, it can shake people's joints and tear people's bones, which requires extraordinary martial arts to do it.

"Master Song, don't you want to give Wansheng a reasonable explanation for what happened today?"

He was condescending, looking at Song Yuandao calmly.

"What, what's the explanation? Your official is an official of the imperial court. You, a mere scholar, broke into the yamen, killed soldiers, and captured the magistrate. This is a serious crime of beheading."

Song Yuan yelled: "Don't think that I am afraid of you, if you have the courage, you will kill me."

He had noticed a long time ago that this Li Xiuyuan was skilled in martial arts, but his strikes were measured. He only seriously injured the soldiers and dared not kill them.

This meant that Li Xiuyuan still had scruples and didn't dare to make a big fuss.

"What a court official who is not afraid of death, Wan Sheng admires him, Wu Fei respected Master Song's last wish and cut off his head." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, the little one has long wanted to chop off his head." Wu Fei smiled excitedly, and rushed over with a big knife in hand.

Song Yuan's eyelids twitched when he looked at the big knife in Wu Fei's hand, and his heart trembled.

This Li Xiuyuan must be scaring me, he absolutely dare not kill officials.

But Wu Fei didn't seem to want to come to Song Yuan's side, so he tied his hands and feet and made him kneel on the ground.

Song Yuan shouted loudly: "I am not afraid of death, why bother to tie my hands and feet."

He was upright and not afraid at all, because he still didn't believe that Li Xiuyuan really dared to kill himself.

"Oh, my lord, I don't understand. I used to be an executioner, and I specialized in beheading people. All the beheaders have their hands tied behind their backs. It's not because I'm afraid that the prisoner will run away, but because if I don't tie my hands behind my back when the big knife falls, With both hands, the prisoner will subconsciously use his hands to protect the neck and block the knife and axe. In this way, the big knife will not be easy to cut when it falls, and it is easy to cut off with the knife. It will inevitably cut off half of the skull and a few pieces of flesh and blood, and the prisoner They won't die immediately, and they will roll all over the floor in pain."

Wu Fei said: "Your Excellency should have seen a butcher. This chicken can't be killed with a knife. The chicken flapped its wings and ran around, and couldn't catch it. Blood splattered everywhere, so it's not beautiful."

Song Yuan had indeed seen the tragic scene of killing a chicken without killing it. The injured chicken was jumping wildly, and the yard was covered with chicken blood. For this, he severely reprimanded the servants.

And when he thought of his end like this, he couldn't help but tremble all over, feeling cold all over his body.

"The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner. If you die, don't seek revenge from me."

Wu Fei raised the big knife, stroked the pen, and the blade touched Song Yuan's neck.

The cold blade gave him goosebumps all over his body.

"Well, if you want to behead, why, why talk nonsense." Song Yuan said with a trembling voice.

"Get used to it, get used to it, my lord, please don't look at me, the blood will splatter all over me." Wu Fei said.

Song Yuan turned his head full of fear and went to look for Li Xiuyuan.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had turned his back at this moment, he seemed not to want to see the beheading scene, and then waved his hand to signal; "Hurry up and cut the knife, don't delay."

"Damn it, this scholar is so ruthless. He really wants to kill me, but he actually dares to kill an official?"

Song Yuan was horrified, he thought Li Xiuyuan was just scaring himself, but now it seems that it is not the case, the knife is already on the neck, once the knife comes down, the matter is over, there is no room for turning around.

"Stop it, stop it quickly."

He immediately screamed like a pig.
