Chapter 227: Evil Less
Xi'an Mansion City is the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, although so many years have passed, gradually decaying, and thousands of years ago can not be compared at all, but the magnificent bearing is still preserved, the pattern of the city, is also built in accordance with the four central axes of the southeast, northwest and northwest, the planning of the city is in place, which represents the specifications of the emperor.
The south and east of the city are the places where the government and scholars are located, the people in these places have a noble status, the order is also in place, basically there will be no ruffians, the west of the city is the place where the green buildings, restaurants, inns and shops are most concentrated, and the north of the city is the place where ordinary people live, from all over Shaanxi to Xi'an Fucheng, unless there is an unusual relationship, the family itself is a scholar, can enter the south and east of the city to live, and most of the rest of the squires and wealthy households are relocated to the north of the city.
The north of the city can be said to be the poorest place in Xi'an, and there are many ruffians here.
The government is not willing to take care of such a place, not to mention the energy consumed, there is no oil and water, so for the situation of the ruffians bullying the market, they also turn a blind eye, and these ruffians know which people can bully and which people cannot be provoked, they are very smart, and the officials are comfortable, which also allows them to survive in the north of the city for a long time.
The rogue rebels, many people moved into the city of Xi'an, so that the north of the city soon began to prosper, there began to be oil and water here, and the officials also noticed these places, but because the situation was too complicated, the officials were unwilling to worry more, and acquiesced to the ruffians to govern this place, but they must obey the arrangements of the officials.
In this case, there are also suburbs, and there are also ruffians and scoundrels.
It is under such circumstances that the black industrial chain of unjust imprisonment was created, and this black industrial chain is a huge blow to the common people, but too many people have benefited from it.
The rogue is wanton, and the city of Xi'an is mainly stable, and big and small things can be connected with the rogues, which makes people speechless.
Following Zheng Xunrui, it was still Hong Xinyu, but around them, there were ten pro-soldiers scattered, these people gathered at a distance of about ten meters at most, and if there was a situation, they could pounce in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the alleys of different widths, including the sewage on the ground of the alleys, Zheng Xunrui remembered those alleys hundreds of years later, there were no deep houses and compounds in the alleys, they were all ordinary people living here, and the houses must be just average.
Some children frolicked at the mouth of the alley, running around on the ground barefoot, their faces were flowery, and their noses were hanging on their faces.
There are still a lot of people in and out of the alley, all of them are coarse cloth clothes, many of them are short plackets, few are wearing long robes, and occasionally you can see people wearing soft hats wearing flat square scarves, these are scholars, basically they are famous scholars.
There were still a lot of people on the street, but everyone's expressions were a little numb.
Found an alley, Zheng Xunrui took a closer look, and walked towards the alley.
A foul smell came, and even feces could be seen on the ground, Zheng Xunrui frowned slightly, there is such a place in Xi'an Fucheng, it can be seen that the government has not managed these places at all.
If he hadn't gone to prison, Zheng Xunrui would not have been able to come to such a place in person.
When I came to a door, it was empty, and the door was covered with dust, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Pushing open the hidden door, no one was visible in the courtyard, and a table and two chairs were placed in the courtyard, and the dust on the tables and chairs was very thick.
"Is there anyone at home, begging for a drink."
Hong Xinyu opened her mouth and shouted several times, before a weak answer came from the room.
Two old men, a man and a woman, helped each other out, their faces numb, and the woman's eyes were red and swollen.
Seeing this scene, I don't know why, Zheng Xunrui's heart was a little tingling.
"Old man, we passed by here, begging for water."
The old man looked at Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu, and spoke to the old woman beside him.
"Go boil some water, here comes the guests."
The woman leaned over and slowly walked towards the house, and at this time, Zheng Xunrui spoke.
"Don't bother, old man, we're tired from walking, just sit down."
Hong Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward, brushed the dust off the chair, and moved it over for Zheng Xunrui to sit on.
Zheng Xunrui glared at Hong Xinyu, and wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but it was too late.
The two old men obviously didn't think of it that much, and the old man spoke slightly apologetically.
"The yard has been cleaned for a long time, and the guests have been neglected."
After Zheng Xunrui sat down, he spoke casually.
"Why are the two old people here alone, are the children in the family far away, and there is no one to take care of them."
Hearing Zheng Xunrui's inquiry, the old man's face turned gloomy, and tears soon appeared in the eyes of the old woman.
It was the old man who spoke.
"We are dependent on each other, and we don't plan to count on others, so don't ask the guests."
As soon as the conversation began, a pro-soldier quickly entered the courtyard and whispered something beside Hong Xinyu.
Hong Xinyu's face changed, she looked at Zheng Xunrui, looked at the two old men, and stopped talking.
"Hong Xinyu, if you have anything to say, it's embarrassing for us to trouble the two old men."
"Young master, some ruffians around are coming here, I don't know why."
Zheng Xunrui looked at the two old men and slowly spoke.
"Did the old man offend anyone, why did the ruffians come over when there were guests at home?"
The old man obviously couldn't help it, touched the ground with his cane, and spoke indignantly.
"What kind of world is this, kill them all......"
The old woman thought about it more carefully and spoke to Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu.
"The two guests should leave quickly, the farther you go, the better, it's the slave family who is causing you trouble."
Zheng Xunrui stood up, looked around the courtyard, and said with a smile.
"I've grown so big, I only have trouble for others, and no one has thought of making trouble for me for no reason."
Zheng Xunrui's words calmed the two old men, the two old men looked at each other, and instantly understood something, they walked quickly in front of Zheng Xunrui, and knelt down.
"We have wronged you......"
The screams outside had already reached the courtyard, and the two old men looked at each other and continued to kowtow to Zheng Xunrui.
"Hurry up, old man, I'm young, I can't stand your big gift, this makes me lose my life, hurry up."
Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu helped up the two old men.
The tears of the old man who had been tense also flowed out, and the old woman was even more speechless.
Soon, the five ruffians were carried by their own soldiers into the courtyard.
The ruffian was still on the ground, and muffled noises and screams reappeared.
Zheng Xunrui didn't seem to see this scene, nor did he look at the ruffians on the ground, and opened his mouth with his back to them.
"You have followed here for a reason, and I can spare your lives by speaking out."
A ruffian spoke.
"Damn, you're looking for death, what kind of person are you, you have the guts to wait here......"
"Smack......
A loud slap and a pig-killing voice came out.
Zheng Xunrui's tone became cold.
"I've always only spoken once, but today is an exception, it's easier for me to kill you than to pinch an ant to death, if you don't want to speak, then go down to the ground and talk."
A few ruffians finally found out that the situation was wrong, the young man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, and the people around him had a murderous aura, which was by no means an ordinary aura.
Several rogues quickly knelt in front of Zheng Xunrui and couldn't wait to speak......
Zheng Xunrui's expression was very calm, listening to a few ruffians talking about it, Hong Xinyu beside him couldn't help it, his face turned pale, if it wasn't for Zheng Xunrui in front of him, he would have stepped forward a long time ago.
A pro-soldier with a slightly changed face came in and said something in Hong Xinyu's ear again.
Hong Xinyu's face quickly turned pale, and he whispered a few words, and the pro-soldier quickly ran out of the courtyard.
Hong Xinyu walked to Zheng Xunrui's side and spoke in a low voice.
"Young master, there are dozens of ruffians here, it seems that they have already made arrangements, and their subordinates are ready to mobilize the pro-military camps on the periphery, take this opportunity to wipe them out."
Zheng Xunrui's face was expressionless, and after thinking for a while, he spoke to Hong Xinyu.
"Is that so-called evil coming?"
Hong Xinyu nodded and continued to whisper.
"Follow behind, it seems that I want to let the dead skin scoundrel do it before entering the yard."
"I know, I can arrange it however I want."
The courtyard was quiet, and the five ruffians kneeling on the ground, although their bodies were still trembling, the expressions on their faces were different, probably knowing that a large group of people had arrived behind them, and the savior had arrived, and they would soon be able to take revenge.
With a smile on his face, Zheng Xunrui spoke to a few ruffians.
"I see that you have a good attitude, I originally wanted to let you go, but unfortunately you are too unreasonable, I don't think my hands are dirty to kill you, you still enjoy the taste of life rather than death."
Several of the soldiers quickly took out the ropes they had brought with them, tied up the five men, and stuffed cloth towels in their mouths.
The two old men looked at this qiē, and their bodies trembled.
The old woman spoke again.
"This son, thank you to the slave family, the ruffians here are very evil, the son should hurry up and leave, if there is something to bear the slave family, it is a big deal that they kill the slave family......"
"Old man, don't worry, you relax, I know something about your son and daughter-in-law, I came here today to figure it out, Lang Lang Qiankun, if you let Xiao Xiao do nonsense, wouldn't it be an insult to the court, today's opportunity is very good, they are all here, then find out here, I see how arrogant they will be."
The two old men were stunned for a moment, knelt down in front of Zheng Xunrui again, wept bitterly, tears that had been invisible for a long time flowed out again, they never imagined that they would be able to see hope in their lifetime
