Chapter 539

North of the city, the location of the granary.

After the fire, all the original granaries were burned.

After cleaning, it was rebuilt.

This day is the time for the major families to send food.

Xu Shu and Huo Jun came early. They were responsible for receiving grain and carrying the grain from family to family to the granary. Bags of grain are moved into the granary and put down.

It started in the morning and lasted until noon.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came with Deng Zhan.

When he came to the granary gate, Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Yuanzhi, how much grain have you brought?"

Xu Shu looked at the account book and replied, "there are already 25000 stones, and only 5000 stones are left, and the grain of the Qu family has not yet been delivered."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "the Qu family will eventually send it."

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, a soldier came and reported: "military adviser, the grain of the Qu family has come."

"Good!"

Xu Shu nodded slightly, then looked at Liu Xiu: "Lord, there's food coming. I'm going to be busy."

Liu Xiu said, "good!"

Seeing that Xu Shu and Huo Jun are busy, Liu Xiu takes Deng Zhan to punch around the granary, and then goes out.

The official road ten feet away from the granary is three feet wide.

This is the only way to or from the granary. In the woods on both sides of the official road, there are ten dead men in black, all of whom were sent by the Qu family.

The leader was named Qu Zhong, thirty Xu, thin, cold eyed and murderous.

Qu Zhong stares at the front coldly. Seeing Liu Xiu coming out of the granary, he orders, "come on, let someone push the unicycle out."

At the command, a middle-aged man at the back of the official road came with his back bent and wheelbarrow.

"Wheel! Wheel

The unicycle moved on slowly, and there was an empty sack on it.

At this time, Liu Xiu came over from the front, and the distance from the unicycle was less than two Zhang away.

The distance is getting closer and closer. A moment later, it's less than ten feet.

"Oh dear!"

All of a sudden, the middle-aged man pushing the unicycle had a soft leg, as if his feet were askew.

Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were attracted by the sound.

"Liu Xiu, die!"

At the moment when Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan were absent-minded, the middle-aged man with the wheelbarrow pulled out a long sword from under the sack and went straight to Liu Xiu.

The light of the sword flickered, and the light came to Liu Xiu in an instant.

Liu Xiu turned to avoid the blow.

"Sonorous!"

Liu Xiu pulled his sword out of its sheath. His Zhenshan sword came out of his hand. As soon as the tip of the sword shook, he stabbed the middle-aged man. At the same time, Deng Zhan is also very pale and has drawn his sword to the middle-aged people.

He is good at assassinating. Now this man is assassinating Liu Xiu in front of him. It's like touching a tiger's ass. Especially when he's around and wants to assassinate him, it's like death.

Deng zhanjian is brilliant and murderous.

Liu Xiu shot, but said: "Deng Zhan, live."

"Yes

Deng zhandexing, sword light approaching middle-aged people, constantly approaching.

"Kill

Seeing that his subordinates failed, Qu Zhong suddenly rushed out of the woods and rushed to Liu Xiu.

"Kill Liu Xiu!"

"Kill Liu Xiu, kill him!"

"Liu Xiu, you even want to kill Huang County Magistrate's wife and children. You shouldn't be a son. Kill him."

"For the wife and children of Huang County Magistrate."

The shouts came from the mouths of the dead.

Qu Zhong took ten dead men in black, all of them killed directly. These people are all dead men and killers. They only kill the enemy with their swords, regardless of their own lives. Eleven people besieged Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan, and the situation was tense for a moment.

The news immediately spread into the granary.

The soldiers in the granary saw this and quickly killed them.

Qu Zhong roared: "the officers and men are coming. Hurry up and kill Liu Xiu."

"Hum!"

The light of the sword shakes, and Qu Zhong's sword stabs Liu Xiu quickly, trying to kill him. When the long sword in his hand approached Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu's sword trembled and Zhenshan sword hit Qu Zhong's sword.

"Dang! Dang

The sword body kept pounding, making a harsh sound.

"One sword, matchless!"

Liu Xiu's sword moves suddenly changed and quickly approached Qu Zhong. The light of the sword was flowing in the air, which was unparalleled in the world. A cold light passed Qu Zhong's wrist. His right hand held the sword's wrist, and the blood was already flowing out.

Blood flow, a deep pain into Qu Zhong's brain.

The hand that held the sword lost its power.Liu Xiu got up and hit Qu Zhong's temple with one punch from his left hand. With one blow, Qu Zhong felt dizzy, fell to the ground and fainted.

"Kill

Liu Xiu fell into a fight, and the Zhenshan sword in his hand kept cutting.

No matter Liu Xiu or Deng Zhan, they are both good swordsmen. Even if they are surrounded by more than ten people, they are not affected at all. On the contrary, they are more brave in the war. More and more people fell under their swords. Several of them were directly knocked unconscious.

After fighting for a moment, another soldier rushed up and surrounded the dead.

In the face of the soldiers rushing up, the soldiers of the Qu family were not afraid at all, and they were still fighting bravely.

In the end, ten soldiers were lost, and all the Qu family members who resisted were killed.

Xu Shu had already run over, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "my Lord, the humble duty is not supervised effectively, so that some assassins sneak into the granary. Please forgive me."

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "it has nothing to do with you. They come and go without a trace. It has nothing to do with you. Just now, these people said that they were avenging for huangquan. Maybe they were the people huangquan was looking for. "

Xu Shu said, "what about these people?"

He looked at the assassins who fell to the ground. Some of them had been killed, but some of them were knocked unconscious.

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the matter of interrogation is naturally handed over to Deng Zhanlai."

"You're busy. I'll go back to the county government first."

Liu Xiu waved his hand, took a group of soldiers to escort the stunned assassin, and then went to the county government. After returning to the county government, Deng Zhan first sounded the alarm for the royal guards stationed in the county government, and then came to the backyard.

In the yard, the surviving assassins wake up.

These people's bodies, including their hair, have been cleaned to ensure that there are no more lethal weapons.

Qu Zhong looked at the three people around him. Four of them, including him, were captured, and the rest were killed. Qu Zhong looked at the other three and nodded solemnly. Before they came here, the three of them were ready. In case of failure, if they were captured, they would give a good confession and put the responsibility on Huang Quan. They came to assassinate Liu Xiu for Huang Quan.

"Step on it! Step on

A sound of footwork came from outside the yard.

Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan came to the yard. As interrogators, Deng Zhan looked at the four and asked, "come on, why did you assassinate the Lord?"

Qu Zhong took the lead in saying: "Liu Xiu is cruel and ferocious. As the saying goes, the disaster is worse than his wife and children. Although Huang Quan doesn't surrender, Liu Xiu, a dog official, won't even let Huang Quan's wife and children go. When we assassinated Liu Xiu, we wanted to avenge Huang Quan. "

"Revenge for the yellow spring?"

Deng Zhan sneered and said, "well said, but it's a pity you're not."

Deng Zhan was so murderous that he didn't believe such a statement at all and said, "tell me, who are your real identities and who are the people behind you? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. "

Qu Zhong said, "it's said that we are avenging for huangquan, but you don't believe it. Hum, you are Deng Zhan. As Liu Xiu's running dog, you must die hard in the future. "

Deng Zhan tut tut two, said: "will also use the method, unfortunately, I do not fall for it."

"Since you are not willing to tell the truth, I will be punished."

With a wave of his hand, Deng Zhan let the soldiers bring 18 kinds of torture tools.

After a variety of instruments of torture were put out, Deng Zhan began to use torture to extort confessions, but the four men were so stubborn that they insisted that they wanted to revenge for the spring.

All the instruments of torture went through, but there was no harvest.

Deng Zhan's brow was slightly wrinkled, and his face showed hesitation.

Qu Zhong's face was full of pain, but when he saw Deng Zhan's decadent look, the corner of his mouth suddenly rose, with a tiny smile. Liu Xiu just fell a smile in his eyes.

Deng Zhan also did not recruit, said: "Lord, they may really come to revenge for the spring."

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "no, they have another identity."
