He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, Qin Yongxin's eyes turned red.

"My lord, I really deserve to die."

Hai Rui said: "You come from a wealthy family. You have never seen such a scene. You feel uncomfortable. It will be fine after you get used to it."

Qin Yongxin shook his head and said in a trembling voice, "I don't mean that to be an official."

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "My father..."

Just opened.

Then I heard Hai Rui say: "There are some things, keep them in your heart, don't need to say them."

As an old fritter, Hai Rui had never seen anything like this.

When he came to this world, apart from Fang Xiu, the first person he saw was Qin Yongxin's father.

Qin Xingyan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

With just one glance, Hai Rui could tell that it was not a good thing.

But here is Dagan who is even worse than Daming.

Qin Xingyan is not the only one who is not a good thing.

The prime minister paid the price and called him out because he wanted him to do something, not to keep an eye on someone.

He also believed.

One day, when the time is right, the prime minister will rectify the court.

If not, the prime minister would not have called him in the first place, but would have called Li Linfu and his ilk...

When Qin Yongxin heard this, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

When the words came to his lips, he still couldn't spit them out, just remained silent.

Just now.

The number of disaster victims is increasing, crowding towards them.

in the crowd.

A few young men, holding daggers in their hands, were facing the cauldron, but their eyes were fixed on Hai Rui who was not far away, and they approached step by step.

In just a moment, they came to Hai Rui, with grim expressions on their faces, and said sharply:

"die!"

Chapter 73

In an instant.

A dagger thrust out in vain!

In the blink of an eye, Hai Rui subconsciously took a step back, just in time to avoid the sharp edge!

By a hair's breadth.

A sharp dagger would pierce his lower abdomen.

aside.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yongxin's eyes widened, and fear appeared on his delicate face. He wanted to shout something, but he couldn't make a sound, and his mind went blank.

In the end, the official who was further away reacted first and shouted loudly:

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Master Hai!"

One hit.

The assassins rushed towards Hai Rui with their daggers in their hands, trying to see what was happening!

All of them are agile and have clear goals, obviously they have been planning for a long time!

Seeing this scene, Hai Rui showed an angry face, but he didn't try to be brave, and turned around and ran away.

"Don't let him run away!"

"kill!"

The assassins looked fierce, clutching their daggers, and chased after him.

"Damn it! Get out of the way!"

Hai Rui's guards stomped their feet anxiously when they were blocked by the victims who were receiving porridge.

some time after that.

In front of the city gate of Qinghe County, a rare scene appeared.

A middle-aged man in a long robe was holding the hem of his clothes, kicking his legs and running fast.

Four or five strong assassins, holding daggers, pursued closely.

Not far away, the catcher of the county government stood where he was, watching with cold eyes.

Among the crowd, the guards were very anxious and drove the victims away with their scabbards.

Qin Yongxin stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been frightened, his mind went blank, and he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

It took a long time to come back to my senses, mustered up the courage, and shouted loudly:

"Catch assassins!"

The voice fell.

The guards have rushed out of the crowd and caught up with the assassin!

Although these assassins have undergone certain training, they are still far behind the guards of Xiangguo Mansion!

Less than half a stick of incense.

The guards pinned them to the ground.

Seeing this, Hai Rui relaxed his whole body, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.

After a while.

After recovering from his breath, Hai Rui came to the assassins and stared at them expressionlessly.

A total of five assassins all lowered their heads at this moment, not saying a word.

"My lord, give the humble official an hour, and the humble official will definitely interrogate them clearly!"

A guard walked to Hai Rui's side and said so.

Hai Rui remained expressionless, and said coldly, "Kill them all."

"This......"

The guard looked puzzled and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, Hai Rui repeated it again.

"Kill now!"

The guard looked puzzled, why he was in such a hurry when he could interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes before killing him.

But hearing Hai Rui's decisive tone, he didn't say any more, and cupped his hands and said:

"Yes! Your lord!"

next second.

The guard drew his sword and walked up to the assassin, without saying a word, raised the sword and dropped it, the head fell to the ground.

The rest of the guards drew their swords at the same time.

Another four heads fell to the ground.

The corpses of the assassins hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

at the same time.

At the city gate, an angry voice suddenly sounded.

"In broad daylight, the world is clear, these thieves dare to assassinate the imperial envoy! It's simply audacious and reckless!"

"In any case, this officer must find out who is behind them and bring them to justice!"

Hai Rui and the guards turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform rushing over.

"Lord Hai, I really didn't expect that there would be such vicious people in Qinghe County, and I'm really ashamed that I didn't protect them enough."

The middle-aged man who spoke was none other than the magistrate of Qinghe County, Zhao Youwei.

Hai Rui glanced at him, and said calmly, "Since I started disaster relief, I've seen many such vicious people, it's not surprising."

Hearing this, Zhao Youwei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

After a long time, he laughed twice and said:

"Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers, and Qinghe County is like this. The officials must learn their lesson tonight and send more arrests to protect the adults and atone for their crimes."

Hai Rui said: "I have already made an appointment with Lord Inspector Wang of Qingzhou. We will return to the county seat before tomorrow to attend the dinner party. We will not be staying in Qinghe County tonight."

Zhao Youwei opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Hai Rui stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "I've made up my mind, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to say more."

After finishing speaking, he no longer looked at Zhao Youwei, but looked at the accompanying officials and guards, and said loudly:

"Today, I'm here to give porridge, pack up my things, and let's try to get back to the county before dark."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the officials and guards began to pack their luggage.

Even Qin Yongxin, who was stupefied just now, sensed that something was wrong, stopped being pretentious, and ran to lead the horse.

Less than a stick of incense time.

The group packed up their things.

"My lord, everything is ready."

Hai Rui nodded, looked at Zhao Youwei, and said calmly, "Master Zhao, we will meet later."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned around and got into the carriage.

The wheels turned slowly.

A group of people just followed the official road and walked in the direction of the county.

Zhao Youwei stood where he was, watching Hai Rui and his party leave, with an extremely gloomy expression.

Seeing this, a policeman came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Zhao Youwei glanced at him, without further ado, he just kicked up and scolded: "Useless things! What are you looking for!"

The arrester was kicked quickly, but he didn't dare to say a word, he said in a trembling voice: "Damn the humble job!"

Zhao Youwei stared at him, and it took him a while to calm down, saying: "Send someone to notify Zhao Youli, cut the weeds and roots, and kill them all! Even if it is an egg, it must be shaken to yellow!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

............

On the official road from Qinghe County to the county seat.

Qin Yongxin was sitting in the carriage, recalling everything that happened before, his face flushed red, and he said in shame: "I really don't live up to my expectations, I'm so frightened when I encounter something..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hai Rui interrupted:

"Now is not the time to say that."

Qin Yongxin was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What does your lord mean, that Zhao will send people to hunt us down?"

Hai Rui didn't answer.

Seeing this, Qin Yongxin muttered to himself: "It's broad daylight, and it's the official way, so he probably doesn't have the guts."
