Chapter 53: The whole city is silenced

No one would have thought that the former mountain bandits would be impressive in a short period of time.

In that battle to break the enemy, the famous axe hall of Guanping City was beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water, and fled in defeat, and since then it has been in a slump.

Most of them seem to have a psychological shadow on the Black Wind Ridge, and almost all of them don't mention the events of that day, obviously they don't want to recall, that embarrassing experience!

According to the information secretly sent back by the eyeliners planted by the Black Wind Army in the city, after the defeat of the Axe Palace, the City Lord's Mansion was quiet again, and there was no movement, obviously there was something big brewing.

As for Tian Zhen, the captain of Nancheng, who has always been good with Zhao Qingshan, as the most secret eyeliner in the official mansion, after he died for no reason, the Black Wind Army lost effective monitoring of the core high-level people in Guanping City.

So during this period of time, the calm in the city also made Zhao Qingshan and others unable to figure it out.

Although there are few news on the avenue, the gossip is flying all over the sky, and the whole Guanping City is up and down, saying everything is nothing more than some alarmist rumors, and there is no value worth referencing.

In particular, an inconspicuous horror legend actually made the people of the whole city panic and could not live all day.

The beginning and end of this matter has to start with the new 'night ban' in Guanping City: It is reported that the city lord's mansion has recently added a night ban system, stipulating that every night when it arrives, it is strictly forbidden to wander on the street.

This is a big difference from the previous ban. In the past, it was only for the four city gates, and every day when it arrived, the city gates were closed and it was strictly forbidden to enter and exit. Now that the time has come, it is strictly forbidden for the citizens of the city not to return at night, and the impact is particularly significant.

Ordinary ordinary people are all good people who have been in peace, and after a busy day, they have long gone home to rest, so this ban has little impact on them.

The most influential are the children of those eunuchs and rich families, who are so romantic that they need to go to various wine bureaus to socialize, and they cannot get stimulation and satisfaction at home, so they can only go out to have fun.

So every day after nightfall, they will call friends, go to find flowers and willows, drink and gamble, so that the lonely and empty nightlife is rich and colorful.

This is also the original intention of Zhou Jie'er, the wife of the city lord, why did she secretly open a brothel and a casino, without consumption, where did the business come from!

Now, every time they arrive, there will be a large number of guards patrolling the streets, and once they meet people who are loitering, they will not help but say that they will correct the law on the spot, or they will be arrested in the dungeon and tortured severely.

This makes those who are used to singing all night and night feel tormented, and they are even more complaining about this new ban.

Of course, there is no absolute time for everything, and if you are unfortunate enough to be caught, there is a way to solve it. Needless to say, the children of rich families can also spend money, after all, the guards who patrol the streets at night also have to live!

Although money is the root of all evil, it is also a thing that circulates unimpeded, and everyone understands the creed of life that makes money and money. Therefore, under normal circumstances, human nature will continue to change with the changes in life.

In fact, what is incomprehensible is that Li Tengfei, the city lord who issued this ban, is also helpless. His purpose in doing this was not simply to guard against the bandits of the Black Wind Ridge and to wreak havoc at night, but for his only son, Li Yiyi.

It turned out that that night, Li Yiyi endured the pain and staggered all the way back to Guanping City. After entering the city, he did not go home immediately, but rushed directly into the Qinglou Xiyuan in the west of the city, and no one knows what he did in it.

Later, people only found out that the West Garden, which must be very lively every night, no one dared to cross the thunder pond half a step after that night. It's not because it's forbidden to go in and out, or because the business is not doing well and it's going out of business, but because I'm afraid of dying inside.

According to the guards on duty that night, the West Garden that night entered from a dark shadow and became Shura's purgatory. Overnight, all the people inside fell to the ground for no reason, and the guards who went in to investigate were horrified to find that no one had died on the spot, and it was estimated that no less than a hundred people had died.

Some people also say that it was a certain woman who was forced to become a prostitute, and in order to take revenge on the evil brothel, put deadly poison in the wine and food in the entire West Garden that night, and ruthlessly poisoned more than 200 people. In addition to the prostitutes, thugs and old bustards and turtles in the West Garden, there are many players who come to have fun.

There are even people who speculate wildly, saying that since the opening of this Xiyuan, the number of women from good families who have been forced to die, beaten to death, and tortured to death has reached the point that they can't be counted.

It was that night that countless unjust souls who died unjustly turned into powerful ghosts, killing hundreds of people on the spot, regardless of their goodness......

All of a sudden, rumors spread and opinions abounded, and there were various versions, which made the people all over the city enthusiastic and joined in.

After dinner, everyone can't help but say a few words, saying everything. Anyway, very few people cared about the feelings of the families of the deceased, but regarded it as a joke and played it up one by one.

In the end, it was interpreted the most by some good deeds, and it was considered the most reliable, which turned out to be the bandits of the Black Wind Ridge, who entered the city late at night to carry out the attack.

Because everyone knows that Naxi Yuan is the property of the city lord's family, the bandits and robbers of the Black Wind Ridge, this is giving his old man eye drops!

These people in the market are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

How many people died that night? How did they die? How many inside stories of such a terrible mass death incident were true or false? What is the truth? Who is responsible? Who are the people who died...... and a series of questions, endlessly, have been confusing the people of the city.

It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but even in Guanping City, those self-righteous so-called wise men are scratching their ears and cheeks, and they can't guess if they want to break their heads, suddenly, another amazing thing happened, which surprised everyone, and made the situation of the large-scale death in Xiyuan even more confusing.

In fact, to die as a guard patrolling the streets in normal times, for the people of Guanping City, it is a common thing. There are many powerful bullies in the city, and many sons and young masters of rich and noble families have many violent and inferior natures.

As little guards with no power, low status, and no money, if they are careless and offend any of them, they will suffer a catastrophe.

But the guard who patrolled the streets this time was the same one who originally made his statement, and it is said that he was killed on his bed.

The remarks that were originally not recognized by everyone were brought back to the conversation for a while, and this rumor and rumors became bigger and bigger, and became more and more intense, to the point of being out of control.

Among the statements of many witnesses, the figure of a person gradually emerged, and he was Li Yiyi.

As the lord of the city, Li Tengfei is of course well aware of the rumors in the outside world, and he has been putting pressure on the officials in the city to strengthen control so as to control the progress of the situation.

Li Yifeng's actions, he also understands through the supervision of his henchmen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered his henchmen to kill that talkative street guard.

After killing the unlucky guard, the final situation was beyond his control, and he was caught off guard for a while.

In the end, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, not only increasing the order of curfeting, but also sending more guards to patrol the streets, and also carried out a quick arrest operation against those good deeds who chewed the root of their tongues everywhere.

The city lord of the upper peak and high position spoke, and the officials at all levels, as subordinates, also came up with a more desperate way in order to block the mouths of the people in the city.

That is, no matter what ulterior secrets you are talking about, or talking and doing errands, or chatting and drinking tea, once you find out, you will be bound to prison, tortured, and in serious cases, you will be killed as soon as possible.

As a result, the whole city was on alert, and the whole people were afraid, and the people had to be silent. So much so that in the entire Guanping City, everyone was afraid of danger and did not dare to go out. Many times in broad daylight, you can't even see a single figure on the street.

This is like Li Tengfei, invisibly, to the citizens of Guanping City, another 'ban on the day and today', or a 'ban on speech'.

As long as you go out, you will always communicate with people, go to the street to run errands, or eat and drink, and you must speak, if you are discovered by the guards patrolling the streets, you must whip them with a leather whip.

Because of what you say, the guards who patrol the streets will not pay attention to it, they want results. The first thing they do is to think about what they are doing, how many people they have caught, and whether they can satisfy their superiors. If they are not satisfied, the lowly guards will be punished unexpectedly.

The citizens of Guanping City were forced by the government to prohibit words and deeds, which made the city of the former lively and noisy suddenly become a lifeless and desolate city.

In the face of today's situation, Li Tengfei was also unexpected, his original intention was just to control the rumors flying all over the sky, not to make the people of the whole city fall into an unprecedented silence.

"The people below, it's ridiculous to do things!" Li Tengfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he has no other way but to sigh, after all, many times, the words and deeds of the people can be controlled, but the officials under him also need to be strictly disciplined, otherwise things will get worse and worse.

If in the end, to the point where it can't end, it won't be a scene that he can shake as the lord of a city.
