Chapter 240: The Old Man Comes, Recalls
The prefect was demoted and imprisoned for life. The four governors were put in prison and severely tortured.
For a while, there was a tense and cold atmosphere in the sky over the entire southern city. Within a few days, the people of the entire southern city knew about human trafficking, and it was still done by high-ranking parents.
Cold, extreme cold.
Even in the warm sunshine, it can't save the cold hearts of hundreds of people.
All the streets and corners of the southern city are abusing the five prefectures, and they feel that the whole world is full of darkness and there is no trace of light.
"The third sister of my family went out of the city to collect medicine the year before last, and she never came back. Oh my God! Why is the life of our common people so miserable! Just open your eyes! On the street, an old woman who heard the news fell directly to the ground, crying and beating the floor.
"Our Qingtian master's heart is so poisonous, our people's lives are already very miserable, and now they don't even give us a way to live." The sound of abuse and wailing echoed in and around the southern city for a long time.
"The prefect is the real robber, not only robbing our people's money, but also robbing our people's babies, how do you live these days."
At the Yingyuan Restaurant, a large number of people gathered. They fell to their knees and begged Xu Muchuan to administer justice for them and give them a reasonable explanation.
The sound of wailing slowly spread to the accord of the restaurant, Xu Muchuan sat on the chair and closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see the crying appearance of the people kneeling at the door of the restaurant.
The hundreds of soldiers standing at the door blocked the people who wanted to enter the door and plead, but they did not hurt the people in the slightest, because the soldiers knew that these people were not easy and should be understood.
"Teacher, I'll come forward and let the people go back!" Yun Changqing walked from the side and said politely to Xu Muchuan, who closed his eyes.
Xu Muchuan pondered for a while and said, "Okay, let's go!" Remember to tell the people that I will definitely give them a satisfactory explanation, and I will not indulge them. ”
"Yes, Teacher." Yun Changqing bowed slightly, and strode towards the door.
After half an hour, the wailing at the door gradually stopped.
It seems that Yun Changqing came forward to say something that the people agreed, and Yun Changqing asked them all to go home and wait for the news, and he would definitely give the people an explanation.
At this time, a soldier at the door rushed in quickly, walked directly to Xu Muchuan's side, bowed down and said, "My lord, the villain has something to report." ”
"Speak." Xu Muchuan put his hands on his knees and spit lightly.
"My lord, there are more than a dozen people outside the city gate, and the leader is a masked woman. She threatened to ask to see your lord, do you see? The soldier clenched his fists and bowed down immediately.
Although Xu Muchuan arrested all the prefectures and four prefectures, he still did not open the city gate. Because Xu Muchuan believes that there are still many squire families involved in Nancheng, but there is not much evidence yet, so they cannot be arrested. Therefore, the city gate can only be temporarily blocked, so that those squire families will not take the opportunity to escape.
"Oh?" Xu Muchuan frowned, opened his eyes and looked at the soldier beside him: "What else did she say?" ”
The soldier faced Xu Muchuan, whose breath suddenly sank, his body sank slightly, and continued: "She said that the old people in the capital met more than a year ago, and thanked the adults for saving their lives. ”
Rumble!
Xu Muchuan's breathing instantly flickered, his eyes widened, and the expression on his face changed obviously.
Old friend? A year ago? Saving? Could it be ...... Xu Muchuan relied on the words brought back by the soldiers, and the pieces of memories buried in the depths of his heart instantly filled his mind.
"Let them in! Send someone to bring them over. Xu Muchuan found that his mood fluctuations were a little big, and he quickly calmed down, but the ups and downs in his chest were still up and down.
"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the soldier turned around and hurried towards the city gate.
After the reported soldier went out, Xu Muchuan couldn't help but lean back on the chair, and the fingers of his left hand gently tapped the armrest.
Boom...... Boom...... Boom......
The slight knocking sound lingered in Xu Muchuan's ears, and his mind was quickly brought to the memories of a year ago.
"The deceased?" On the killing stage, Qianying knelt on the ground, and the appearance of her hair scattered not only did not make her look sloppy, but added a sense of ethereal and dreamy.
Xu Muchuan especially remembered that when he first came to Beiyuan, he saw her at a glance, and then Xu Muchuan was inexplicably regarded as a thief who robbed the law field, attracting many troops and saving his life by mistake.
Simon Xiong...... Ximen Rou ......, "If Xu Muchuan is not bad as expected, he guessed the identity of the person who came from the message brought by the soldier: "It is indeed an old man, the daughter of the old man......"
Xu Muchuan's originally calm mind was as calm as water, but this sudden message hit the water surface and sparkled.
"Old man Simon Xiong, who dares to fight with me!" The memories were slowly evoked, and Xu Muchuan thought of when he was beheaded, Ximenxiong stepped on the stage in a white prison uniform, holding a spear to deter thunder and coercion, and his sloppy appearance could not hide Ximenxiong's domineering.
A scolding came down, shocking countless soldiers. Ximen Xiong was imprisoned in a cell for more than ten years, but he still did not let his sky-high momentum of dominating Kyushu be extinguished.
On that day, Ximen Xiong fought 100 people, and he was also an elite general under Feng Qingwen.
With one block of hundreds, he fought a bloody way for Xu Muchuan and sent Xu Muchuan out of the capital. For this reason, Ximen Xiong also died of exhaustion on the spot due to lack of strength.
Thinking back to the beginning, Xu Muchuan's heart was like a knife. It is really sad and lamentable, fighting on the battlefield all his life and guarding the northern abyss, but he didn't expect to end up like this.
That day was the last time Xu Muchuan and Ximen Xiong met, and it was also the end of Ximen Xiong.
Zhenyuan died, and the world was shocked!
On that day, Kyushu was shaken. The Beiyuan Kingdom, the Leaving Country, and the Shu Kingdom all trembled. The two emperors of Liguo and Shu both felt sorry for Ximen Xiong, and both lamented that they did not have such a famous general in Kyushu, and they couldn't help but mourn for Ximen Xiong.
"My lord, someone brought it."
After a long time, the soldier who reported walked quickly to Xu Muchuan's side and said softly.
Xu Muchuan was slightly stunned, rubbed his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Let them come in!" ”
Slightly stunned, Xu Muchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed that he remembered the original scene again.
Smack...... Smack......
The sound of crisp footsteps slowly came from the door, and Xu Muchuan's eyes were condensed at the door, wanting to see if the old man was the one he guessed.
