Chapter 496: Ghosts Believe

Yao Qingtian nodded, indeed, let the villagers sell the fields they relied on for survival, it would be better to directly kill them.

It's not for sale, I'm afraid that this thing will be difficult to do well in the end.

Feng Dazhu added, "We are not willing to sell the land or rent it out. ”

Yao Qingtian was silent. Since the fields are the foundation for the villagers' survival, how can they live if they rent out the fields and get a small rent?

"But Mr. Na Longzi said that after renting our fields, he will provide better places for the villagers of Lingshui Village, which is equivalent to earning two wages."

Yao Qingtian looked at Feng Dazhu, who was sad and angry, and sighed silently. Tempted by profits, I am afraid that Mr. Longzi's motives are not pure.

I heard Feng Dazhu continue, "Under his clever lobbying, we actually believed what he said. ”

Feng Dazhu choked up, his voice hateful, "Who knew that not long after we pressed our handprints to rent out all the fields in the village, a disaster happened in the village. ”

Yao Qingtian glanced at him, his expression was gloomy and inexplicable, "I heard that the villagers of Lingshui Village were killed in a collective sacrifice because of Tianhuo. ”

A heavenly fire devoured more than 200 lives, and he remembered that he secretly sighed when he heard about it.

He quietly stared at Feng Dazhu, who looked angry, his eyes were cold and shining, "I don't know how you escaped from that heavenly fire?" ”

"Bullshit!" Feng Dazhu thought of his relatives who had died tragically, and his expression was obviously very excited, "That's a conspiracy, part of the conspiracy that that the bastard who called himself Long Zi has been planning since he appeared in Lingshui Village. ”

Yao Qingtian's heart froze, he frowned, and he was not in a hurry to know how he could escape, so he asked, "Conspiracy?" What conspiracy? Isn't the current Lingshui Village completely closed off as a dead village due to the plague? ”

"Renting fields, plagues, and fires in the sky, these are all just tricks for that bastard who calls himself a dragon to deceive outsiders."

It seemed that recalling the tragic scene of that day, Feng Dazhu, who had finally calmed down, was actually excited again, and unconsciously burst into tears.

"If I hadn't broken my leg on the day of the sacrifice and didn't attend, I wouldn't have survived, and I wouldn't have had a chance to know about that bastard's plot."

Yao Qingtian stared at him sharply, frowning but silent.

No wonder this boy shouted on the street to let him save his life, it turned out that there was a lot of things inside. The fight with Wang Juzhi now seems to be a matter that can't be smaller, and it was the trigger for him to reach out and take care of the village extermination case in Lingshui Village.

Today, he and Wei Chi Fearless will bump into Wang Juzhi on the street and beat this boy, but I am afraid that someone behind him will make a good move for this kid.

What made Yao Qingtian puzzled was that it was obvious that whether it was Wang Juzhi or the boy in front of him, they didn't know that someone had bothered to arrange this matter today.

Yao Qingtian was only puzzled by this point, but shocked by another thing.

You must know that he will go to that area today to run errands, and he has no plan in advance. That is, at random, who could have the ability to guess that he would inevitably be in that place today? Deliberately prompted Wang Juzhi to beat this flute boy under his nose?

Yao Qingtian took a few steps in place with his hands in his hands, and glanced at Feng Dazhu with a cold light.

Of course, he couldn't think of who the master behind the scenes was who arranged all these "coincidences" seamlessly, but no matter who that person was, what was the purpose of prompting him to take charge of the case in Lingshui Village. Now that he knows that there is another inside story about this, he must not let it go.

Sighing silently, he stared at Feng Dazhu fixedly, his tone was a little harsh, and asked, "Tell me, what did you know unexpectedly?" ”

When Yao Qingtian nervously asked Feng Dazhu in Dali Temple, Mufu Fenglin Curie, because of a certain topic, the atmosphere was a little more tense than usual.

"Miss, Lord Yao really happened to be beaten by Wang Juzhi on the street, and now he has detained the person back to Dali Temple for interrogation."

Mu Xiaofeng took a sip of tea, then looked up at Leng Yue, who obviously wanted to speak, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, "This will be Li Jian's side, he should already know about the commotion on the street." ”

In other words, Li Jiangxiao's side will soon know that Li Jian is paralyzed like a living dead because he fell into Wang Juzhi's vicious calculations.

"Will Wang Xian and Li Jiangxiao break up because of this?"

Mu Xiaofeng raised his head, as if he instantly watched the flying oblique eaves out of the corner of the eaves, and after a while, Fang said lightly, "It's not life and death, but life and death, this kind of hatred can't be resolved in the face of enough interests." ”

Leng Yue was stunned for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses.

In other words, if these two companies do not have enough attractive related interests, the alliance will break is a certain thing.

can understand this, Leng Yue's cold eyes were a little more confused. Mu Xiaofeng saw her eager to learn, so she had no choice but to say lightly, "There is a debtor who is wronged, and whoever has reached out to harm my nephew will not be able to escape." ”

Breaking up the alliance between Wang Xian and Li Jiangxiao is just one of the steps.

"Miss," Hongying came back from outside, and immediately reported to Mu Xiaofeng, "There is already a commotion outside." ”

Leng Yue saw the meaningful eyes of the red shadow on the side, and was stunned, "Trouble? ”

Mu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, his eyes were clear and clear, but a faint smile flashed across his lips, "Do you think that the matter between Wang Juzhi and Li Jian alone is not enough to make the two of them turn against each other?" ”

Leng Yue's heart was excited, "So right now, it's the two of them who are making trouble?" ”

What's the fuss?

Look at Miss's expression, this latter move is clearly more powerful than the previous one.

Hongying looked at Leng Yue, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a slight smile, "No, it's the people of the capital who are making trouble outside." ”

The alliance of the powerful, to put it bluntly, is just a "profit".

If you want to break up this alliance that is bound by profit, you just need to grasp the points they all care about.

Their young lady is obviously a good player.

Hearing Hongying say this, and then seeing the secret expression on her young lady's pale face, Leng Yue rolled her eyes as if she didn't understand.

The wishes of ordinary people are actually very simple and simple, as long as they are fed and clothed, they are safe and secure.

However, if even this most simple wish is artificially destroyed, even the most timid and fearful person may become a rabbit that bites when he is pressed.

Especially, when these victims are not one or two, but in groups.

The law does not hold the people accountable, and this is a truth that even illiterate ordinary people understand.

At this moment, in front of a large-scale salt shop on Ronghua Street, a large number of people gathered to make trouble. They blocked the salt shop to the brim, and there were several stretchers in the open space.

The people who were surging in the crowd, almost everyone showed the same angry look on their faces, and they kept shouting, "Call the shopkeeper out, return us justice, call the shopkeeper out, and compensate us!" ”

"This is a black-hearted shop, this is harmful salt!"

There is everything in these shouts, although their shouts are uneven, but without exception, in their angry shouts, they are all accusing the salt shop shopkeeper of cheating.

Because these people all ate the salt they bought at this salt shop, and then their family got sick with a strange disease.

At this moment, the half-dead people lying on the stretcher with painful faces are the family members of these people.

"If we don't call the shopkeeper out, we're going to rush in and find someone in person."

In the face of this scene, the shopkeeper was shocked and scared, wishing that he hadn't opened for business today. But this will, in addition to being secretly anxious, the shopkeeper didn't dare to close the door rashly.

These people did not seem to rush in and smash them impulsively, but no one dared to do anything to further provoke the people.

A few guys stayed in the store to withstand the pressure, while trying to persuade and explain, and secretly sent someone to invite the shopkeeper back.

The shopkeeper of this salt shop, surnamed Qian, immediately rushed to the store after receiving the news.

"Everyone, be quiet." The shopkeeper rushed to the store sweating profusely, and he didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, so he immediately went to the door to comfort everyone, "If there are any problems, we will register them one by one, and then discuss and solve them in detail." ”

"What to discuss!" Someone in the crowd immediately reprimanded angrily, "My old lady has been so angry that she can't even speak because she has eaten the salt she bought back from here. What kind of black-hearted salt are you selling? I am asking for compensation. ”

This angry denunciation immediately attracted many people to echo, "That's it, compensation, we just need compensation!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw this scene, he was so anxious that his eyes darkened.

As soon as the reputation of black-hearted salt spreads, will he still do this business in the future?

However, these mud-legged people want to get a half-dead man to bluff him into compensation, and this precedent must not be set.

"Ah Hu, quickly send a message to the owner." The shopkeeper didn't expect the scene to get out of control, so he couldn't persuade him, so he had to quickly write a letter to send the guy away.

The people who were blocking the door suddenly became even more excited when they saw the shopkeeper turn around and enter the store.

"Reparation, reparation......!"

The shouts were louder than loud, and I don't know who took the lead, and the people who were originally only blocking the door to denounce suddenly rushed inside one by one.

Just when the shopkeeper was secretly complaining in a cold sweat, the news finally reached the Admiral's Yamen, which was two blocks away from Ronghua Street.

Yao Jiqing, the commander of the Nine Gates, was working in the Yamen, and when he heard this, his face immediately changed. The merchants who can deal in salt are not ordinary people, let alone the large-scale salt shop on Ronghua Street.

He vaguely knew that the behind-the-scenes boss of the salt shop was only afraid that he had something to do with General Li's Mansion.

When he heard this, a number of people gathered there to make trouble, and after only muttering for a while, he said, "Order a hundred yacha and follow me to Ronghua Street." ”

However, his master hurriedly stopped, "Your Excellency is not in a hurry. ”

Admiral Jiumen looked at him and said strangely, "If the situation doesn't become more intense, maybe there will be deaths, how can you not be in a hurry?" ”

The master stroked his goatee and said slowly, "What did you hear from those people?" ”

The Admiral of the Nine Gates was stunned, and then blurted out, "Shouting black-hearted salt?" ”

Master's eyes flashed, and he said with deep meaning, "My lord, I'm afraid that the water in here is very deep." ”

Although the Admiral of the Nine Gates is the magistrate in charge of this land, at the same time, this is also the eyelid of the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and big things with the eye of a needle may spread to the towering palace walls at any time.

Therefore, this matter must be managed, but we cannot rush forward without understanding the situation clearly.

Admiral Jiumen's eyes sank, and his mind turned a thousand times in an instant.

Naturally, there is no problem with the distribution of salt sold in various areas by the imperial court, and if there is a problem, there should be people in the several major salt shops in the capital.

There was no problem with the salt that the imperial court allowed salt merchants to sell......

Admiral Jiumen raised his eyebrows calmly, and his face showed a thoughtful expression, "Black Heart Salt? ”

Could it be that someone has the audacity to openly sell illicit salt at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

The Admiral of Jiumen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, selling illicit salt is not a trivial matter, this is related to the tax revenue of the imperial court, and it also involves the ...... of the powerful people in the court.

After hesitating for a while, Admiral Jiumen said, "You are right, I really shouldn't be in a hurry." ”

Of course, you can't help but do it.

Standing in the inner hall and pondering for a while, he instructed again, "Send a letter to the palace about this, by the way, especially remember to send a letter to the right minister." ”

Xia Xingshen governs hundreds of officials, and the people's livelihood and government affairs in the capital are even more within the right minister's share.

The master stroked his beard and thought for a while, then nodded appreciatively, "My lord." ”

Admiral Jiumen waved his hand, "You can do it, I'll take someone to Ronghua Street to have a look." ”

When the shopkeeper saw Yao Jiqing leading a group of yacha to appear at the door of the store, he was so shocked that his heart trembled for a while. In particular, in addition to trapping the people in the name of maintaining order, those officials also surrounded the shop.

Looking at the practices of these yachas, it doesn't seem like they are on their host's side. If they are really on their host's side, they will receive the red envelopes and should drive away these troublemakers.

However, instead of letting people drive these people away, Yao Jiqing trapped the store and didn't let people enter or leave, with a posture of being ready to do something big.

In addition to being frightened, the shopkeeper finally realized that things didn't seem to be good.

The shop was trapped by the yacha tuantuan, and the shopkeeper couldn't send a letter to the owner if he wanted to.

"Shopkeeper, tell the official clearly, what are these people reflecting?"

Let people surround the store, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates has a clean and strict appearance, stepping into the shop with a figure-eight step and an official majesty.

"This ...... Slander," the shopkeeper was caught by the yacha and couldn't sneak into the backyard, so he could only go back to the front and explain to the Admiral of Jiumen with a helpless face, "Lord Yao, it's pure slander." ”

"All the salt we sell here is bought back with the salt issued by the government, which is completely formal and legal, and there is absolutely no quality problem."

Admiral Jiumen's eyes flashed, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper who obviously couldn't hide his panic, and snorted coldly, "In that case, what did you run away from in a panic just now?" ”

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, lowered his head, and responded cautiously, "My lord Mingjian, Xiaomin was just in a moment's internal urgency, and he was in a hurry!" ”

Peeing?

The Admiral of the Nine Gates snorted coldly, looking at the shopkeeper's worried face, if you want to say that this salt shop is not greasy, probably even a three-year-old child will not believe it
