Chapter 236: Money is to blame
The news of the Two Realms Mountain spread very quickly, and the entire Great Xia Dynasty was in an uproar, and those princes who had close contacts with Li Si decisively cut off contact with him, for fear that Lin Mo would be angry with others because of this.
"Hmph! These bastard things, this king has never treated them badly, but now he has encountered some difficulties, and he is so indifferent, it is really unreasonable!" Li Si angrily smashed the cup on the table, his heart was itching with hatred, he had always regarded himself very highly, but he was played around by a young man under the age of twenty, and the most important thing was to lose his soldiers and lose his generals, and he lost all his money at a time.
"Someone, someone!"
Li Si yelled in the study, but he didn't see anyone come in, and a sense of frustration suddenly surged in his heart, Qinjiang City, which he had worked hard to run for decades, was destroyed by Lin Mo in such a short period of time, he was unwilling, he wanted to retaliate, even if it cost him his life.
On the other side, after Beiqi helped Lin Mo solve the matter, he hurried back to the Beiwu Palace, kneeling and begging to apologize to Yaya.
"Yaya, I really didn't mean to make you angry, forgive me for the boss's sake......" Beiqi said.
Yaya cried so much that even her voice was hoarse, Bei Meng patted her on the back, looked at Bei Qi with a strange expression, and said in a deep voice: "Now I think of my daughter-in-law?
Facing Bei Meng's questioning, Bei Qi couldn't speak for a long time, and when she looked at Yaya, she immediately tilted her head to the side, obviously really angry.
"Sister, my boss is so good to me, I can't watch him die when he's in trouble, right?"
Bei Meng saw that Yaya was crying sadly, and when she was angry, she could only continue to reprimand Beiqi. "It's not your boss who will accompany you for a lifetime, you will lose your daughter-in-law with a word, what is this like, see how I teach you!"
As he spoke, Bei Meng suddenly raised his legs, kicked Bei Qi, and took a three-finger-thick long stick from the corner of the wall and hit him hard.
"Sister, I was wrong, stop fighting!"
Beiqi wanted to dodge, but he was grabbed by his clothes, dragged directly from the ground, and hit him on the ass with a stick.
"Ahh
Bei Qi let out a scream of pain and was about to snatch the long stick, but Bei Meng winked at him vigorously, as if signaling something.
Before Beiqi could understand the meaning, his butt and thigh were each hit with a stick, and it hurt him so much that he ran all over the house.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, I was wrong, you can spare me this time!"
Yaya still ignored Beiqi, sitting there crying sadly.
Bei Meng's heart was very helpless, it was all hit to this point, Yaya didn't come forward to stop it, did she really have to beat Bei Qi half to death to dissipate her anger?
With the doubts in his heart, Bei Qi felt a very dangerous aura appear behind him, and at the moment of turning around, a long stick smashed down head-on.
"Puff ......"
The long stick was broken in two, and Bei Meng gave Bei Qi another look, and the latter instantly understood what it meant, and fell directly to the ground, his eyes black and fainted.
Before this, Beiqi took advantage of Yaya's lack of attention and poured the demon beast essence blood on his head, and the blood flowed to the ground in an instant.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you!" Bei Meng exclaimed, thinking that this stinky boy was quite good at acting, and even used the blood of the demon beast.
At this time, Yaya stopped crying, and saw Beiqi lying on the ground with his head covered in blood, the anger in his heart disappeared, and he immediately knelt on the ground and helped him up.
"Bei Qi, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" No matter how Yaya called, Bei Qi didn't respond, she quickly reached out and sniffed, but was firmly grasped by her hand.
Beiqi suddenly opened his eyes, reflexively pressed Yaya to the ground, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, I know that you feel sorry for me." ”
Yaya choked up and sobbed, tilting her head to the side, Bei Meng saw that something was wrong with this situation, and immediately tiptoed out of the courtyard, leaving the rest of the time to them.
"The day after tomorrow is the day we get married, don't be angry, okay?"
"Then you have to promise that you can't approach any woman in the future!"
Bei Qi agreed without thinking about it, and made a vicious heavenly oath.
"Daughter-in-law, is this okay?" Bei Qi said with a smile.
Yaya stood up with Beiqi's support, and she said with an aggrieved face: "Can you not leave me in the future, no matter where you go, I will be with you." ”
Beiqi nodded, hugged Yaya into his arms, and said gently: "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future." ”
At the same time, the internal turmoil in Qingyun City has become a pot of porridge, and many people have sold their valuable things overnight because of the news that Lin Mo was seriously injured and died, and they are about to leave this place, and now seeing him appear in the city alive, they all regret their sloppiness.
"Damn, Lao Tzu's family heirloom antiques......"
"This guy who has been stabbed a thousand times will die outside sooner or later. ”
“......”
Listening to the complaints of the people in the city, Lin Mo didn't explain anything, and he didn't take it to heart, after all, this incident started because of him, and they suffered unnecessary losses, and they really felt a little guilty in their hearts.
Especially those who are not firm in their minds, they regret it even more.
"Boss, the matter is settled, but these people look at us with strange eyes, as if they want to eat us alive. Zhuo Zhen said.
Lin Mo chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Many people sold their family heirloom antiques, just to be able to survive in other places, but this news was fake, and they suffered a lot of losses, which was also a part of what I didn't expect, so in order to compensate them, each family was compensated with a thousand copper coins, and those rich people were forgotten, anyway, they had money." ”
Hearing Lin Mo say this, everyone laughed, although Qingyun City was a bit chaotic, but it was nothing to solve a strong enemy, and spend some money.
As for the compensation, Zhuo Zhen took all of it to himself, and no one fought with him, so he carried a large bag of copper coins and went door to door to distribute money.
Those poor people were all so excited when they saw Zhuo Zhen's generosity and kindness to others, that they almost knelt down for him.
However, when these poor people learned that Lin Mo accepted the money with peace of mind in order to compensate for their losses, and at the same time, they had some unspeakable reverence for this city lord who had never shown up.
If you want the people of a city to support a person, it is not the icing on the cake, but a charcoal in the snow, in order to win their respect.
Lin Mo has read a lot of books, just to be able to master how to manage a city well, but some people have done their duty, but they don't know how to sympathize with the people, resulting in everything they have done before being in vain.
The reason why Zhuo Mo was asked to send money was because Lin Mo wanted to establish his prestige from the bottom, so that the poor people would wholeheartedly support him and respect him, instead of being like those powerful people who were hypocritically wary of him.
When night fell, Zhuo Zhen had almost done everything in his hands, and rushed back to the city lord's hall.
On the way back, Zhuo met a child who was squatting under a tree and crying sadly.
"Whose child doesn't go back so late. Zhuo Scar whispered. He walked over to the child.
"Little brother, what's your name and where do you live?"
"My name is Ma Xiaoer, and I live in Xiaohe Village. ”
Listening to the child's answer, Zhuo Zhen frowned, isn't this Xiaohe Village the village he passed through when he went to issue copper coins in the afternoon, and it is a long way to go from Qingyun City to that small village.
However, it was getting late, and it was a little strange that the child was still squatting here and crying if he didn't go home.
"Little Er, will I send you home?" Zhuo Zhen said.
Ma Xiaoer shook his head, looking scared.
"You mean you don't want to go back?" said Zhuo.
Ma Xiaoer nodded, without a word of explanation, which made Zhuo Zhen feel strange and depressed at the same time.
"Can you tell my brother what's going on?" said Zhuo Chen.
Ma Xiaoer thought about it for a while, and still told what had happened.
It turned out that when Zhuo Zhen finished issuing copper coins, Ma Xiaoer's father and mother wanted to go into the city to buy something, but unexpectedly met several sturdy men on the way here, not only injured his father, but also took away his mother.
"So do you know who these people are and where they came from?"
"I don't know, but I saw that the man had a deep scar on his hand. ”
Listening to Ma Xiaoer's words, Zhuo Jian felt more and more strange, Qingyun City's defense has always been safe, and it is impossible for there to be extremely vicious people, let alone doing these things under Lin Mo's nose.
"Little Er, you go back with me first, and I'll take you to see your father later. ”
Ma Xiaoer didn't think much about it, and followed Zhuo Zhen to the City Lord's Hall.
"Zhuo Zhen, it's not for you to send money, why did you bring back a child, it won't be you and a woman's cub. ”
Zhuo Zhen glared, and walked out into the courtyard in a huff.
"Boss, help take care of this child, I'll go find his father. ”
Lin Mo and Mu Yuzhu looked at the child with puzzled expressions, Zhuo Zhen had already left the backyard.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, what's wrong, it doesn't seem to be very good at his face. Xu Hao said.
Lin Mo saw that the child's eyes were moist, but he didn't cry, so he asked him curiously.
"Little brother, what happened, can you tell me?" Lin Mo said.
Ma Xiaoer looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, he was very scared, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Boss, look at how scared you are, why don't you let your sister-in-law come. Dabao said.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the side, while Mu Yuzhu comforted Ma Xiaoer.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, we're not bad people, did something happen to you?"
Ma Xiaoer nodded and told the story again.
After Lin Mo heard this, he frowned and said angrily: "Damn, dare to make trouble in Lao Tzu's place, I think they are tired and crooked!"
Lin Mo left the City Lord's Hall with Dabao and Ma Xiaoer, and rushed directly to Xiaohe Village despite everyone's persuasion.
When they entered the village, Lin Mo and Dabao smelled a strong smell of blood, and when they looked further, Zhuo Zhen actually walked out of a family's house.
"All, I hurt them...... Zhuo Zhen closed his eyes, and he blamed himself very much in his heart, if it weren't for the money, these poor people would not have encountered such a thing.
Lin Mo casually pushed open the door of a house, and saw several people lying on the ground, among which two women were untidy and their eyes were very wide, as if something terrible had happened.
Closing the door, Lin Mo took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and pushed open almost everyone's door, and the result was the same, the man died tragically, the woman's clothes were not neat, and the children were all killed.
At this moment, Xu Hao rushed over with several demon beasts, and said anxiously: "Boss, I found a clue, it was done by a foreign regiment in Lianyun Town, nicknamed nameless, there are thirty people like this, and the minimum cultivation is all monks of the Huangwu Realm." ”
"Nameless?" Lin Mo's brows furrowed, since the establishment of the Holy Light Legion, he had never heard of this legion in the Great Xia Dynasty, and they were all monks of the Imperial Martial Realm.
Xu Hao let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "From the time you left, the brothers who were patrolling outside came back, and they also told me the news. ”
