Chapter 35: The Doorway
Just when Lord Xu was a little worried, Mr. Wang of Linshan County walked up to him and asked softly: "My lord, I'll take the people from the torture room and the servants to investigate the case first." ”
Lord Xu nodded lightly and replied, "Okay."
"By the way, send another person to report the case to the county quickly, and the facts of the case can be described a little more seriously. ”
After giving an order, Mr. Wang caught his head and left.
Looking at his distant back, Lord Xu sighed lightly, and said with some worry: "This world is really getting more and more chaotic......
Just after retiring from the hall and sending away everyone in the county government, Mr. Wang, who had taken people out before, turned his head back again, followed by a white-robed young man with a tired face, it was Zhao Ting.
"My lord, my subordinates just went out, and I bumped into Zhao Ting, the son of Lord Fu Ling, at the door, and he stopped his subordinates after learning that his subordinates were going to take people to Lingang Village to investigate the case. ”
"He said that he didn't need to investigate, and he also said that he had something to tell you alone, you see......"
Before Lord Xu could speak, Zhao Ting had already taken the first two steps forward, glanced at him, and arched his hand: "Uncle Xu." ”
Lord Xu suddenly understood, waved his hand, and said, "Well, Lao Wang, the Lingang Village case will be postponed first, and you can also go down and rest." ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing that the two had something to discuss, Mr. Wang retired with a very good look.
As soon as he left, Zhao Ting couldn't wait to speak, and said amazingly: "Uncle, Linshan City is about to suffer a big disaster!"
"What?"
Lord Xu was startled, and suddenly stood up from the chair in front of the hall, and looked at Zhao Ting tightly.
After all, he knew the identity of Zhao Ting's "Spirit Clan", and in the eyes of his mortals, the Spirit Clan was the immortal in the world!
Even Zhao Ting, who is a "spirit clan", said that there will be a catastrophe in Linshan City, which is why he is not shocked and afraid.
Before he could ask, Zhao Ting had already explained in a hurried tone: "Uncle should already know what happened last night in Lingang Village, right?"
"Well, I know. ”
Zhao Ting took a deep breath, his expression was serious and abnormal: "When the Lingang Village case happened, I was at the scene. ”
After a moment of silence, a strange look appeared on his face, as if he was helpless, and as if he was a little angry: "It was a snake demon who did it! This is why I stopped Uncle Wang." ”
"Well, I'm ashamed, I'm no match for that basili. It's not easy to be able to save my life, I ...... I watched it with my own eyes ...... the villagers of Lingang Village."
Looking at Zhao Ting's guilty look, Lord Xu sighed and comforted softly: "Xiao Ting, I can't blame you for this, after all, you are still a child, and it is natural that you are not capable enough." ”
Zhao Ting raised his head and said with a wry smile: "It's because the little nephew is not capable enough! Hey, the little nephew was hiding in the dark at the time, and I heard the snake demon say that it was going to kill the entire people in Linshan City and use it to cultivate the Breaking Realm." ”
"Linshan City, I'm afraid it's in danger!"
Hearing his words, Lord Xu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he reconfirmed in disbelief: "You mean, the entire Linshan City?"
"Yes," Zhao Ting nodded solemnly, "Uncle, the only way to do this now is to dismiss the people in the city as soon as possible, so that they can flee for their lives as soon as possible, and they can live one by one." ”
"That snake demon, it may come to slaughter the city at any time!"
After getting Zhao Ting's confirmation, Lord Xu suddenly collapsed on the chair, as if he had suddenly been drained of all his strength.
"I can't go, I can't go......"
Zhao Ting suddenly became anxious: "Uncle, what are you still hesitating about at this time? Do you want to watch the people in the city follow in the footsteps of the villagers of Lingang Village?"
"No," Lord Xu waved his hand sadly and explained, "Xiao Ting, you are not an official, you don't know the doorway here!"
"Do you know why all kinds of strange disasters in the world are frequent, but the people are always ignorant of these "ominous"?
"Because the court is deliberately covering up such incidents! Do you think, if the people knew this, knew that there were so many terrible monsters in the world, and knew that they were like lambs raised by monsters, what do you think they would think in their hearts?"
"They will collapse! Even I, when I knew these inside information, my heart was very broken, and I can imagine those ignorant people!"
"Do you know what is most important to the imperial court? It is the people's heart, and the people's heart cannot be disturbed. As long as the people's hearts can be stabilized and the situation stabilized, not to mention the death of the population of only one small county town, even if the death of a county, the imperial court is willing!"
"So, it's not that my uncle hesitates, it's that my uncle doesn't have the right to dismiss the people in the city!"
"Linshan City is also a big county, with a registered population of nearly 10,000, and the people in the city have always lived and worked in peace and contentment, self-sufficient, what reason should I use to dismiss them, let them leave their hometowns, and flee for their lives?"
"Even if the people are persuaded by me, it is impossible for the court to agree! I have privately dismissed the domestic servants and reduced them to exiles, which is a great crime to kill the head!"
After saying this, Zhao Ting was also silent.
Although he is not young in psychology and thinks that he has a superior IQ, he really doesn't know much about these doors of being an official, after all, he has never been a person.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Ting opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, do you know the Spirit Clan of the God Refining Realm?" If you do, maybe the people in the city will still be saved." ”
"What is the God Refining Realm?"
“......”
"That's it," Zhao Ting was a little speechless, "I'd better hurry back to the house and inform our Zhao family's people to evacuate first, uncle, and you will do the same, transfer the clansmen to other county towns as soon as possible." ”
After reminding Lord Xu a few words, Zhao Ting said goodbye to him and went straight to Zhao's mansion.
......
......
After returning to Zhao's mansion, he told Zhao Ziqi, the lord of Zhao's mansion, and after explaining the benefits and disadvantages, Zhao Ziqi reluctantly agreed, dismissed the servants in the mansion, and went to other counties to avoid the limelight first.
But what Zhao Ting never expected was that there was a huge problem in the dismissal of the family.
The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion were even reluctant to leave! No matter what Zhao Ting said, they just didn't want to leave.
But think about it, the money given by the Zhao Mansion is not only higher than that of other places, but also makes the work they do easy, eat well and sleep well, if it is Zhao Ting's words, he will not leave!
Seeing that he couldn't convince these subordinates with his mouth, Zhao Ting had no choice but to use tough measures and drive away a large part of them, leaving only a few personal servants around Zhao Ziqi and Wang Yan.
After seeing Zhao Ziqi leave Linshan City in the carriage of the Zhao Mansion and take refuge in Nanshan Temple outside the city, Zhao Ting was relieved.
The rest is to inform Zhao Tai.
