Chapter 203: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

In the evening, all the people gathered around the gate of the palace. When they heard that the new generalissimo of Zhengxi, who was also the crown prince of the dynasty, was going to distribute grain here, calculated according to the number of heads, so they all rushed over with the whole family, for fear that there would be no food to receive when it was too late.

The government had no food to send, but Ye Feng couldn't bear to see the people starving, so he had to distribute some of the food brought by the army to these people first. It's not much, but it can also temporarily solve their hunger.

Not long after, there were already four long lines in front of the door of the government office, and the officials of the government were responsible for the delivery. These officials are usually used to being powerful and obedient, but today is an order personally issued by the Generalissimo Zhengxi, and they dare not have the slightest neglect, for fear that if they accidentally offend Ye Feng, then the result can only be death.

Ye Feng led Sun Yan, Xiao Qian, and Ke'er to wander around. The third daughter also rested for an afternoon, and her spirits were much better, and it happened that Ye Feng didn't have anything to do, so she took them out to have a look. When they saw so many victims, the three girls couldn't help but redden. They were all raised by their fathers and mothers, but what kind of sin did they suffer?

Just as the crowd was slowly moving forward in an orderly manner, a discordant voice came. "Bring it, damn it, don't let go quickly, if you don't let go, Lao Tzu will kill you."

Ye Feng couldn't help frowning, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a big man with a meaty face snatching the food that a woman had just received in her hand. Next to the woman was a little girl, trembling and frightened, hiding behind the woman, but the woman was holding on to the food she had brought with both hands, refusing to let go at all. It doesn't matter if she starves, but she can't let her children go hungry, it's great maternal love, selfless love.

Walking forward quickly, Ye Feng grabbed the grain with one hand, slapped the big man's face with the other, and immediately knocked him out, his eyes were full of stars, and half of his face was swollen high. Turning around and handing the food to the woman, Ye Feng asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, thank you for this young man." The woman said. Because Ye Feng changed into civilian clothes and did not wear official uniforms, the women did not see that the person in front of them was the generalissimo of Zhengxi.

"You're welcome. Let's go home. Ye Feng said.

"Thank you, thank you!" The woman thanked her again and again, and pulled her child away.

Seeing that the things in his hands were snatched away and slapped in the face, the big man couldn't help but be angry and scolded: "Where did the bastard boy come from, he dared to beat your grandfather." ”

Ye Feng frowned, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. At this time, the two ironclad elite soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order on the side hurriedly walked over when they saw the situation here, and when they saw that it was their generalissimo, they hurriedly shouted: "Marshal!" ”

Marshal? Could he be the Generalissimo of the Western Expedition? The big man thought to himself, and his face suddenly turned like ashes. offended the dignified generalissimo of the expedition to the west, where is his life. Hurriedly knelt down, kept kowtowing and begging: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please ask the marshal to spare the villain's life." ”

Ye Feng snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of someone like you keeping you?" Come on, give me the Fa-rectification on the spot. ”

"Yes!" Two ironclad soldiers answered. stepped forward and grabbed the big man who was constantly wailing, and his hand was up and down, clean and neat. The people who lined up to receive food couldn't help but applaud when they saw this scene, this big man usually relied on his strength and did all kinds of evil, and now he finally has evil retribution.

Ye Feng glanced at the people who received the grain, and said: "Let's go home after receiving the food, I don't want to see such a person again, otherwise, he will be the end." As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse that had fallen to the ground, and then said, "Please rest assured, the 500,000 troops of the imperial court have already marched here, and the rebellion will soon be put down." Marshal can assure you here that after the rebellion is put down, he will definitely explain to the emperor that you will be exempted from taxes, and that you will be allocated food and silver taels to help you rebuild your homeland. ”

When all the people heard this, they knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, marshal thousand years old." ”

Looking at this group of kneeling black people, Ye Feng suddenly felt that he was doing the right thing. With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng said, "Everyone get up, go home." ”

After listening to Ye Feng's words, those people stood up one after another, and those who received the food went home happily, and those who did not receive the food continued to line up to receive the food.

At this time, Zeng Shuai walked to his side and whispered a few words, Ye Feng nodded, turned to the third girl and said, "I still have some business, do you continue to wander here, or do you decide to go back and rest?" ”

Sun Yan said: "If you have something to do, go and get busy first, don't care about us, we still want to look around." ”

Nodding, Ye Feng said, "Okay, I'll go first." After speaking, he ordered two ironclad elite soldiers to be responsible for protecting the safety of the third girl, and followed Zeng Shuai into the palace.

When I entered the hall of the palace, I saw five middle-aged men sitting inside, dressed gorgeously, all with bloated bodies, and very small eyes, but they flashed with shrewd light, and they looked like profiteers. Shi Taishou Xie Xun, who was sitting next to them, had a cup of fragrant tea in front of each of them.

Seeing Ye Feng come in, Taishou Xie Xun hurriedly stood up, and those men also stood up and began to look at Ye Feng, as if they were looking for Ye Feng's weakness.

Ye Feng didn't say a word, just glanced at them coldly, and slowly walked to the center of the hall and sat down. After a moment of silence, Ye Feng spoke: "Zeng Shuai, ask someone to remove the tea." ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shuai answered, walked to the door, and in a moment, several ironclad soldiers walked in, removed the tea in front of everyone, and then brushed behind them to fight. When several wealthy businessmen were wondering, they trembled with fear when they saw the serious appearance of those ironclad soldiers.

Ye Feng was very satisfied with this effect, smiled secretly, and then said: "Sit, sit, just treat this place as your own home, don't be so restrained." ”

As soon as those people heard Ye Feng's words, a black line appeared on their foreheads. When you are in your own home, don't be kidding, you can't drink tea in your own home, and there are soldiers with serious faces standing behind you with knives. But when you think about it, they are all fine monkey-like characters, but they don't show the slightest expression on their faces, but instead pile up smiling faces and sit down.

Ye Feng leaned back in the chair and said leisurely: "I guess you already know the purpose of this handsome call you, right?" Without further ado, let's take a stand. ”

"Marshal, it's not that we don't want to take it out, but you have to know that we have earned that little bit of money with our hard work. If it is all taken out, how will my family of more than 100 people live? A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears said.

"Hard? Just like you, you are simply the best profiteer's virtue, and I don't know how many people's hard-earned money has been rolled out. Ye Feng thought secretly. So, are you unwilling? Ye Feng was not as cowardly and easy to speak as Xie Xun, and his tone became a little low and cold.

"That's not what I said." The middle-aged man continued, "We are in business, and what we take from the people is also what we should do for the people." It's just that we also want to know what is in it for us to do this. In the unlikely event that Sunset City is breached, we will have nothing left. ”

"Well...... Not bad! Ye Feng nodded slowly and said, "But ......" Ye Feng deliberately stretched out his voice very long, making those rich businessmen nervous. "However, Ben Shuai wants you to have nothing now." Ye Feng snorted coldly and continued.

"You...... What do you want to do? The wealthy merchant said in horror.

"Come on, pull him to the door of the government to rectify the law, and everything in the house will be confiscated." Ye Fengli didn't pay attention to him, and directly commanded the ironclad soldiers.

"Yes!" The ironclad soldier standing behind the wealthy merchant grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him out.

"You...... You can't do this to me. The rich merchant struggled and cried out.

After a while, there was a wail at the door, and then I saw two ironclad soldiers walk in and say, "Marshal, you have corrected the law." ”

Such a resolute move immediately shocked those wealthy businessmen. Everyone looked at Ye Feng in horror, they couldn't believe that he really said kill him, and there was really no room for negotiation.

Ye Feng nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and then said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Let's continue to discuss, in fact, the imperial court is just borrowing your food, how about it? What do you think? ”

Consult? If you were negotiating, there would be no such thing as a threat in the world. Everyone thought. However, there are already lessons from the past, where do they dare to object. After all, money is something outside the body, and if you really don't even have your life, what is the use of good money.

Under the threat of Ye Feng to kill chickens and monkeys, those rich businessmen had to give in and were willing to donate the food stored in their families. Seeing them like this, Ye Feng also echoed and said some compliments, which is nothing more than some good deeds, accumulating virtue and doing good, and the court will not forget you and the like. Those wealthy businessmen also swallowed bitterness in their stomachs, and praised again and again in embarrassment, "It should be, it should be." Actually, they all scolded secretly: Fart should be, if you didn't threaten Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu would have taken it out? also accumulate virtue and do good, let his mother fart.

Ye Feng couldn't hear what they said in their hearts, but he could also guess that they hated themselves. Ye Feng shrugged indifferently, anyway, Lao Tzu's purpose is not to ask you to thank me and worship me, as long as you take out the food in your hands, it will be enough.
