Chapter Fifty-Eight: Bloody Washing of the Prefecture Yamen (1)
In the eastern district of Wutu Town, the bustling streets are full of squires dressed in fancy costumes, brightly colored luxury sedan chairs, and even the vendors on both sides are all brightly dressed. Smooth stone bricks pave the street into a huge mirror, and the figures are clearly visible, and all kinds of shops line the street. In short, its prosperity is still above Yanjing City.
On the street, in the midst of the flow of people, Chu Xiaofeng, Yu Wenlang and the little guy from the "Good Again Inn" were walking briskly towards the yamen of the state capital. Although the little guy leading the way in front of his head was wearing cotton clothes, he still kept shaking, and after seeing Chu Xiaofeng's bloody and ruthless methods, he always felt that his neck was "swishing" through the cold wind.
"I didn't expect to come to a small Wutu Town, and the bustling road is so impressive." Chu Xiaofeng said to Yu Wenlang as he walked.
"It's really lively here, it's the liveliest place I've ever been." Yu Wenlang smiled, his eyes kept changing directions. He wanted to pretend to be a commonplace calm. Hearing Chu Xiaofeng say this, he immediately looked left and right.
He has lived in the mountains for nearly 20 years, and every day he is always accompanied by green lights and friends with the trees. Now seeing such a lively town, he would have been very excited, if it weren't for the fact that he still had something to do, he would have rushed over and asked from stall to booth to observe.
"It seems that the state capital of your Wutu Town has two sons, and the place where you govern is so prosperous." Chu Xiaofeng said to the little guy who led the way in front of his head. The brows are furrowed, how much manpower and material resources will be spent on such a luxurious market.
"Master Ke, I advise you to leave quickly! We are here" The little guy glanced back at the careless Chu Xiaofeng, and sighed, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if you want to go later.
"How are you here? Could it be that they will eat me? Chu Xiaofeng pouted disappreciatively, today he wanted to meet the parents of Wutu Town and see what kind of person he was.
"Do you know how this place was built?" The little guy walked a few steps slowly, approached Chu Xiaofeng, and said in a low voice. The expression was extremely flustered, and a pair of eyes kept looking around.
"It must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources, right?" Chu Xiaofeng chuckled slightly. Isn't that nonsense! Such a huge project must have cost a lot of manpower and financial resources.
"It didn't really cost much." The little guy leaned close to Chu Xiaofeng's ear and whispered.
"What!" Chu Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, such a luxurious street didn't cost much. Could it be that the state capital here will play a trick and conjure up this street? He frowned, pulled the little guy down to his side, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?" ”
"Don't tell the master, the little one's name is Deng Ping." Deng Ping squeezed out a smile and hurriedly replied. He didn't dare to snub the person in front of him, this master dared to kill people at every turn, he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Deng Ping, tell me more about it. I'm really curious about it. Chu Xiaofeng showed a kind smile and said softly.
"This" Deng Ping glanced around in embarrassment, the traffic was busy and the flow of people was endless. Chu Xiaofeng understood, hurriedly turned around and took him and Yu Wenlang into an inn, and instructed the guys at the inn to prepare a room for them, and then serve a good banquet on the table. The three of them were led by the men to an upper room on the third floor.
After the wine and food were finished, the three of them sat down. Yu Wenlang tore off a piece of chicken leg casually and swallowed it by himself. Deng Ping swallowed his saliva, stared intently at the delicacies on the table, scratching his ears and cheeks greedily. Chu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Say it." ”
"Hmm!" Deng Ping immediately agreed, quickly tore a small piece of chicken with his hand, swallowed it in one bite, and said while chewing: "Master Ke, you don't know, originally we didn't have so many rules here like other towns. However, three years ago, the Maozhou government did not know what evil nature had been committed, and actually managed the poor and the rich separately. This state capital, it's amazing, don't talk about him, let's just talk about the high-flying Niu Bantou, that is his own nephew. ”
Deng Ping picked up the wine glass in his hand, "cooed", and drank it in one gulp. He licked his lips with his tongue, and then said: "This Maozhou Mansion hates the poor the most in his life, and the officials of the people are all asking for the lives of the people, cracking several local cases, and ensuring the safety of the place. But he drove all the poor people of the city to the west of the wasteland, and left them to fend for themselves. ”
"Such evil things have happened! What a brute! Chu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and said angrily. He had never heard of such an extreme official. Hate the poor? What kind of reasoning is this!
"Hakka Master" Deng Ping was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, and stretched out his hand to cover Chu Xiaofeng's mouth. He hurriedly walked to the door of the room, poked his head out to take a look, and found that there was no one, so he closed the door and said in a low voice: "Master, you speak quietly." If we accidentally get heard by the officers and soldiers on patrol, then we are all done. ”
"Humph!" Chu Xiaofeng snorted coldly, and Yu Wenlang beside him didn't hear it at all, and still ate and drank by himself.
"It's nothing if you just drive the poor to the west. But this Maozhou Mansion, he is simply a land lord who loots land, have you seen the bustling street we walked? It took five people to build it. Deng Ping quickly tore a small piece of meat and said in a low voice.
"Raided the homes of five people outside the staff? What does that mean. Chu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"Hey! To say that these five masters are also unlucky. The Maozhou government once held a fundraiser, saying that it was for the construction of the town. The five outsiders didn't even pay a penny, which annoyed Lord Mao, and he was angry, insisting that these five outsiders colluded with the Yongle Sect traitors, and beheaded more than 50 people in two days, causing a storm in the city. They demolished their houses, forcibly conscripted men to do hard labor, and hundreds of people died in order to build that street. That's why I said, it didn't cost much at all. Deng Ping said with a sad and indignant face. Every time he came to the East District, he always had a feeling of being hairy, as if there was a terrible ghost standing behind him, like a shadow.
"What lawlessness! Why didn't anyone report to the court? Chu Xiaofeng said with a puzzled expression. There is such a big mess here, and no one reports it?
"Report to the court? Not to mention anything else, do you know what the background of this Maozhou Mansion is? His teacher is a court teacher! Who would dare to report it? Just those poor ghosts? They've been under surveillance for a long time, otherwise you'd have been targeted as soon as you arrived in Wutu Town. Deng Ping shook his head and said helplessly. He has a deep background and deep wealth, and he is the emperor here, who dares to do anything to him.
"It turns out that he separated the poor from the rich in order to better monitor their every move!" Chu Xiaofeng's eyes shot a cold glint, if there were a few more such officials, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world! He nodded at Yu Wenlang and said in a low voice: "Take us to the yamen of the state capital!" ”
"Ahh Deng Ping screamed in shock, he originally thought that Chu Xiaofeng would retreat because he was afraid, but he didn't expect Chu Xiaofeng to still go to the yamen of the state capital, so frightened that he sat on the ground, hugged the table leg and shouted: "I'm not going!" If you go, you'll die! ”
"Hey, hey, Lao Tzu gives you two choices!" Chu Xiaofeng sneered and said in a sinister manner. He stepped forward, grabbed Deng Ping's neck, and lifted him up. pressed on the chair, showed a cold smile, and said lightly: "One, you can not go, I will directly screw your head off!" Second, if you go to the state capital yamen with us, maybe you can save your life. ”
"I" Deng Ping's face turned pale with fright, and he had seen the scene of Chu Xiaofeng tearing people's heads with his bare hands, so he couldn't help but shrink his neck and said cowardly: "I will choose the second way." ”
"Haha, you're a smart guy!" Chu Xiaofeng laughed, pushed Deng Ping in front of them, and shouted coldly: "Don't go quickly!" ”
