Chapter Ninety-Seven: Trouble at the City Gate
She's just afraid that they won't make trouble.
Instead of letting these people think of tricks behind their backs, it's better to subdue them once and take them out to see how they will do it in the future!
When Chu Xiaoxiao arrived, the battle at the gate of the city was already very noisy, and I don't know when a platform was erected in the direction of the main gate of Yongzhou City, and a middle-aged man wearing only a white middle coat was standing on the platform, and the word "wronged" was written in blood red on his clothes.
"Wronged!" the man stood on the high platform and shouted loudly to the people below: "The county lord of Huaiyang is bullying people and robbing my family property by virtue of his identity...... Pity my eighty-year-old mother, because she has no money to buy medicine, she is so ...... That's it!"
And the people in the audience are all ordinary people in Yongzhoucheng, who have been tormented by the plague a lot these days, and when they heard the words of the middle-aged man, the people in the audience were quite touched. Led by a few people in the crowd, these ordinary people shouted with righteous indignation.
Chu Xiaoxiao squinted at the middle-aged man in front of her, she could be sure that this person had definitely not appeared at her banquet that day.
In other words, this person was specially bribed to make trouble!
"Oh, is it so pathetic?"
In the midst of the chaotic shouting of the crowd, an extremely clear voice with mockery suddenly came out.
Chu Xiaoxiao's martial arts practice in the past few months has been quite good, and the internal force is also incomparable, this sentence mixed with internal force, everyone is naturally very clear.
Soon after the words fell, everyone couldn't help but look back.
I saw a girl in a big red dress with a bright and delicate face standing with her hands in her hands, looking directly at the middle-aged man on the stage with a slightly sharp gaze, and there was a hint of ridicule in her expression.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man's cry choked in his throat because of Chu Xiaoxiao's words, and he couldn't help but look up at Chu Xiaoxiao and said.
Chu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, and said teasingly: "You hate me so much that you come here to die and die, don't you even know who I am?"
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man didn't react at first, but after a while, his face turned blue and red.
"You...... You are the county lord of Huaiyang?!"
Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but nod with relief when she saw that he had finally opened her mind, "Yes, you haven't even seen me, and you dare to swear to ask for your life here?" Are you making people laugh?"
Those rich businessmen want to make trouble, and they don't find some high-level methods, even if they find such a person to force each other to death at the city gate, what can they do with her?
Mo said that Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care about people's lives for money and wealth as he said, even if it was true, Emperor Shengtian of Yongzhou was far away, couldn't she be suppressed as the county lord?
Besides, even if His Majesty knew, could she still be severely punished for a few civilians?
Thinking about it, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't think that in addition to adding a little blockage to her, such a practice would have any practical effect?
"Don't think that if you are the county lord, I will be afraid of you!" The middle-aged man's face changed, he held a kitchen knife against his neck, and said loudly to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Even if I die today, I will seek justice!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao smiled instead, the corners of her lips lifted a cold arc, and after a while, she said: "You can die, maybe if you die, Your Majesty will really condemn me...... Die. ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man was like a duck stuck in his neck, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a full quarter of an hour, the middle-aged man suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Don't think that we don't know, you so-called imperial court officials are here to loot the people's fat and people's ointment. They said they were here to cure the plague, but was the plague cured? No, they did a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes slowly narrowed.
The man in front of him is obviously extremely incendiary, and after his words came out, many people immediately echoed him.
If it were a normal time, these ordinary people would definitely not follow suit.
But now the situation is different, almost the people in Yongzhou City are struggling to make a living, and the people have suffered but cannot find a source to vent.
As it is today, once there is an excuse for them to vent, they will naturally make a fuss.
"Shut up!" Chu Xiaoxiao looked at this scene with cold and terrifying eyes, and then used her internal strength to say loudly to the middle-aged man: "Do you want to die?"
The middle-aged man seemed to believe that Chu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to do anything to him, so he stiffened his neck and said, "Even if you are the county lord, I will fight to the death to seek justice for the people of our Yongzhou City!"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Xiaoxiao's voice was heard abruptly.
"Then I will fulfill you!"
Before everyone could hear this sentence clearly, the Shura knife in Chu Xiaoxiao's hand was waved down instantly, and people saw a blood line rushing up to the sky in front of them, spilling down one after another.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, the person who had just shouted at Chu Xiaoxiao had already fallen, and his head was rolling slowly on the ground.
Chu Xiaoxiao held the Shura knife that was still dripping blood in her hand, slowly stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the corners of her lips, and said in a slow and gloomy voice: "You guys, do you have anything else to say?"
"Ahh
After a moment of silence, I don't know who suddenly screamed, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.
Someone in the crowd faintly shouted, "Ah, the county lord has killed someone, and the county lord has taken people's lives!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes accurately stared at the person in the crowd who first started shouting, and then his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage and burrowing into the crowd.
In just a moment's effort, a thin man who looked to be around thirty years old was dragged out of the crowd by Chu Xiaoxiao, and then thrown to the ground at will.
Seeing such a scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe, and even one didn't dare to speak out for an instant.
The thin man was thrown by Chu Xiaoxiao like this, and he fell on the spot, although Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were already a little afraid, but his mouth was still shouting.
"The county lord is beating people! The county lord is beating people! The county lord cares about people's lives, and if he says that he kills people, he will kill people, and where is the law breached!"
"You know a lot. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the thin man in front of her condescendingly without smiling.
Although this person looked like an ordinary person, judging from the tone of his speech alone, Chu Xiaoxiao knew that he was definitely not an ordinary ordinary person.
The troublemakers behind this thought that they were quite thoughtful, not only found a hard-working leading actor, but also arranged a childcare to coax the crowd when the middle-aged man was talking about it, which was also extraordinary.
