It's a fine day after a snowy night. A touch of fish belly white from the East proves that today may be sunny after snow.

As a famous fisherman in Anning County, Zhu's family doesn't have only one boat. The awning tied to the river for many years is small and old. Even half of the children like Li Luoyang can occupy more than half of the cabin. It's not enough to see when the real fishing season comes. Zhu's family has another fishing boat, which will be towed to the shore early in winter for maintenance and collection.

The larger fishing boat was pushed into the river by old Zhu last night. It was more than 30 feet away from the one where Li Luoyang lay. It was originally able to see Li Luoyang's every move. Only in the early morning, the woman in white appeared just when old Zhu went home and called Zhu Ying. The two sides were staggered. When old Zhu came back with his granddaughter, Li Luoyang had already left.

The scattered straw makes old Zhu nervous, and Li Luoyang's escape completely rings the bell of Lao Zhu's escape. After he settled Zhu Ying, he cleaned up his belongings as quickly as possible. This is because he has considered the movement of the county government looking for Li Luoyang at night, otherwise it may be more delayed.

Even so, the speed of the Yamen guards startled old man Zhu, probably because he thought that Li Luoyang, who was too frightened, had to go home for a while before he thought of reporting to the official. When the footsteps of the Yamen came into his ears, old man Zhu was so scared that he threw away some things that should have been packed and turned around and ran to the river.

He wants to get on the boat. As long as he gets on the boat, the cold yamen soldiers can't find a second boat to chase. Even if they follow by land, there are three river forks ahead. As long as they get there, they can't continue to follow unless they get into the water.

I wish the old man's calculation was right, but he still underestimated the official decisiveness.

Because it's a dry season, the river beach is muddy. It's hard to walk, and it's even more sad to prop a boat. If it's the one that Li Luoyang used to lie on, he may be able to leave faster with the advantage of shallow water. It's just that old man Zhu chose this fishing boat three feet long. With the goods on board, even if he tried his best to push it, he can't be much faster than a snail.

Compared with old man Zhu, the Yamen servants led by Zhang Ling looked as light as a swallow one by one. The soap boots made a "snap" sound when stepping on the mud, but it seemed like a life-threatening rale in old man Zhu's ear.

"Stop!"

"Lock him!"

When the Yamen guards were asked to take out the iron lock and iron ruler, the county magistrate was staring at it. How dare the Yamen guards not do their best and try their best one by one, and the land was almost flying.

At least county magistrate Liu was satisfied with this scene, and Li Bai also looked slightly at his jaw, but Li Luoyang, who had seen the woman in white stepping on the water like a flying goose not long ago, despised it - is this the defense force of a county? No wonder there has been such a saying since ancient times that "chivalry is prohibited by force". Feelings are afraid because the power of "Prohibition" is too poor to stop those "Chivalry" at all.

"Luoyang, are you sure Zhu Donghe caught you?"

"The old man's name is Zhu Donghe." Li Luoyang was silent. He showed an angry expression in front of county magistrate Liu and said, "that's him! He wanted to kill me because I didn't say how the county magistrate planned and planned strategies, so he didn't start!"

"Oh." county magistrate Liu slightly jawed his head. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Li Luoyang's words. Then he turned to Zhang Ling and other yamen servants and said loudly: "catch him alive and take him back to the Yamen for questioning!"

At this time, if county magistrate Liu does not doubt the connection between Zhu Donghe and the Liao family compound tragedy, he will be a scholar in vain. Although the Liao family compound massacre occurred during the last official of county magistrate Liu, if the case can be solved in the hands of county magistrate Liu, it must also be a great political achievement. In the past, it's all right. Now, of course, we have to catch up with it.

Since Zhu Donghe is a breakthrough, he can neither run nor die. However, the words of county magistrate Liu made Zhang Ling and others a little difficult. Especially when Zhu Donghe found that he really couldn't push the boat into the river, he gritted his teeth and turned around, ready to fight with a group of Yamen soldiers!

The trapped beast is still fighting, let alone Zhu Donghe, an old man who has half of his son buried in the earth. I'm afraid the only concern in his heart is Zhu Ying, the granddaughter in the boat.

"You corrupt officials forced me to fight with you today!"

As he roared, Zhu Donghe bent down and took out two poles from the fishing boat. The two rods are thick and thin. At first glance, they look like fishing rods. Each is about a foot and a half long. The thick one is thicker than the thumb, and the thin one is slightly thinner than the thumb.

Seeing that Zhu Donghe suddenly lit up his "blade of war", Zhang Ling's eyebrows immediately frowned. There are more than ten or twenty yamen servants around him, but most of them are paid people. They usually wear soap officials' clothes and hold water and fire sticks to scare the people. If they really meet evil guests, they might as well be a watchdog.

Among them, there are five captors who can do three or five moves. They have seen blood, but they are really inferior to Jianghu people. Zhu Donghe is not like a fisherman at this time. It is clear that he is the Jianghu people Zhang Ling has seen. Jianghu people, the blade licks blood, and the head is pinned on the pants belt. Once stirred up, they will be lawless and afraid of death. It's very troublesome.

At this time, many yamen servants didn't know this. They just thought Zhu Donghe was the old fisherman who could drink in the past. They rushed to the front two Yamen with water and fire sticks to pick the footwall of Zhu Donghe. Zhu Donghe didn't look at the short fire stick. He swept the thick fishing rod in his left hand, and the head of the rod brought a residual shadow in the air, Kan Kan wiped the cheeks of two yamen servants.

The scream suddenly started. Looking at Liu county magistrate, Li Luoyang and others, the two yamen servants seemed to suddenly go crazy. They threw fire sticks into the water and lay on the muddy ground with their old faces in their hands. This is a cold river. Li Luoyang is really worried that they will be frozen.

The injured two yamen servants finally let others see the reality. Zhu Donghe is not an ordinary fisherman, but a Jianghu man.

All of a sudden, the steps of all the Yamen servants slowed down. Only the five constables with some experience either opened the iron chain or tightened the iron ruler and surrounded the Zhudong River step by step.

"Unexpectedly, there are such people in Anning county."

After all, county magistrate Liu is a person who has seen the world. Even if Zhu Donghe suddenly shows the hand of Jianghu people, county magistrate Liu quickly calms down, glances at Li Luoyang and says, "but Jianghu people are not great. I stand here to represent the imperial court. Those who oppose the imperial court will never come to a good end."

"Your Excellency is right. The interests of the imperial court are the interests of the people all over the world. For the interests of the people all over the world, although thousands of people will go."

"Luoyang is really good knowledge. Zhang Ling, what are you doing? Take Zhu Donghe quickly!"

"Liu, you are looking for death!"

Zhu Donghe obviously knows what it means to "catch the thief first and catch the king". A dozen yamen may not be able to catch him, but if he doesn't keep pestering him, in the end, he can only try his best to get caught. It's better to fight hard than wait for death, so Zhu Donghe will swing his fishing rod with both hands and rush towards county magistrate Liu!

"Stop him, stop him! Catch Zhudong River and reward three liang of silver!"

Zhang Ling was in a hurry and offered a heavy reward, which suddenly brightened the eyes of those timid yamen servants present. The so-called military morale is available, and the morale of the Yamen is greatly boosted. Zhu Donghe's plan to "catch the thief first and catch the king" was immediately destroyed by the fierce yamen who are not afraid of death.
