"Kind-hearted fart, master, we have all been deceived by the Qian family, hey, we are helping to abuse, I, Xiao Gang, am sorry for the people of Qihe, I should die, I should die!" The city lord Xiao Gang suddenly slapped himself, and the loud sound surprised the master, what is the madness of the secret Dao lord?

He has served the old city lord for decades, and naturally knows what kind of virtue the city lord is, not to mention seeing him wiping his tears with false affection, even if he suffers a little loss, he has to comfort him for a long time, although he can't talk about the big treachery, and he won't oppress the people, but his cowardly character is sometimes looked down upon even by the master, but he doesn't want him to hear that he brought the Qian family and the thieves to laugh from ear to ear today, and it seems to be quite normal just now, but now why is he suddenly wiping his tears in pain, the master is really confused by the second monk, and asked anxiously: "My lord, what is the matter, you can tell the villain first, although the villain is useless, he can also find a way to support you. ”

The old city lord Xiao Gang repented and said: " Master, it's useless, it's all late, do you remember where that batch of food went, we personally sent people to distribute it to the people, but, but then the plague broke out a few days later, and no one linked the two things together at that time, but now I think about it carefully, this is obviously the Qian family's people behind the ghosts, they must have done something in the grain, because the plague broke out and they could take advantage of the chaos to control Qihe City, I, the city lord, can't suppress the plague, there is no good people's voice, and the people don't scold me for the dog officials. It's just that the Qian family didn't expect that the Feng family's army was suddenly defeated a month ago, and the vicinity of the Wind City was lost. This allowed his Qian family to prepare conditions for bringing the bandits into the city. ”

The master was a little helpless when he listened to his words, what was the city lord talking about, could he express it clearly, and said: "My lord, but what do you say about you, it's not our fault that this army is not here and there is no such thing, as for the plague, we all know that almost no one has been able to treat the plague since ancient times, and the adults are not more mindful." ”

The old city lord sighed, but he didn't continue to cry and regretted: " Master, there are strange things in the food, do you remember when someone reported that his family had corpse spots on their skin, we didn't care about it at that time, at that time, he also warned me that this thing was weird, and told me to make a plan early, I didn't pay attention at the time, and I didn't want to provoke the Qian family, but now I think it's all my negligence, I'm a sinner, and the people in the city are now displaced due to my weakness, and I, the lord of the city, even have plans to roll up and leave, how can I not hate myself. ”

The master also sighed when he heard this, but also, although their city lord's mansion has been safe and sound over the years, there are more white eyes that can be eaten, not only the Qian family does not treat them as people, the people scold them as dog officials, and even their brothers often complain, how do they know that the person in power is walking on thin ice, how can they understand the sadness of this seemingly nested city lord, as a parent official, who does not want to benefit the people and make some political achievements, but that has to be powerful, the Qian family is like a steel knife on the head of the city lord's mansion, sharpened to the snow brightly, the city lord's mansion immediately fell to the ground with a slight movement。

"My lord, don't be sad about those things in the past, what should we do now, do we let go of this Qian family, or do we take advantage of them and the bandits to organize people to stab them?"

The master hesitated for a moment, and finally thought about it and replied: "I asked them if they didn't want to say, only that they would come to visit this morning, but I saw that those people were burly and had murderous eyes, and their bodies were full of ruthlessness, and the villain guessed that it might be someone from the military, sir, do you see?"

City Lord Xiao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped the table and laughed: "Guess well, I think it's not far from ten, do you remember the six letters I called you cursive before and after, didn't we repeatedly ask Shangguan to send someone to preside over justice for me Qihe, I think it has an effect, master, hurry up, you quickly call the brothers below to give me some spirit, the guy and everything are packed up and brought with him, we can't leave a bad impression on this Shangguan lord." ”

The master knew the city lord best, so he asked: "My lord, are we going to make a move against the Qian family?" The city lord laughed, his eyes became more and more cold, and he said: "Now that the business has arrived, what else do we have to worry about, turn your face, master hurry up and get ready!"

The master nodded and left, the old city lord was alone in the house for a while frowning and regretting painfully, and for a while haha Lang laughed and was excited, fortunately there was no one around, otherwise it would really scare people to death.

When Ning Feng and his party were confused, they were respectfully invited into the city lord's mansion, and before they could speak, the old city lord Xiao Gang knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to admit his mistake and frankly said how sorry he was for the old folks of Qihe over the years, and then he forcibly explained to himself with such and such excuses, anyway, the meaning is one, I am wrong, but the crime is not to death.

These words are a cup of tea, but they have already made Ning Feng and the fat man stunned, and even the elders and a few people also covered their mouths and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, this Qihe City Lord said that they were from the military, but it was not what they thought, the misunderstanding was a thousand miles away, anyway, Ning Feng listened to him half-knowingly, and he had the heart to explain but had no way to do it, so he could only look at the old city lord's frightened appearance and sigh very speechlessly.

This ordinary sigh made the old city lord Xiao Gang be pardoned, and said that it was this young adult who spared himself, yes, instead of being suspicious because of Ning Feng's youth, he became more and more sure, why? Because Ning Feng is very calm, at first glance, he is a character from a big family, and he is familiar with the cronyism of officialdom, he doesn't think much about it at all, but the only thing that makes him doubt is that although the entourage brought by this little adult is not weak on the whole, there is no such top master, but he immediately convinced himself, yes, this kind of family brother likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger the most, and those masters must be following and protecting in the dark, he is really too careful, and he thinks about it a lot.

Ning Feng looked at the old city lord who staggered up, and didn't know what to say for a while, and said in his heart that he was misunderstood anyway, it was troublesome for me to explain him like this, and it was not impossible for him to be angry if he explained it clearly, and it was important to get rid of the scourge of the Qian family now, so he took a breath and said in a deep voice.

"Old City Lord Xiao, let's not talk about other things, don't make a noise about my identity first, let me tell you what I've seen in the past two days. Ning Feng's ambiguous words were already very ambiguous, on the surface, it sounded like he was telling the truth, but this kind of talk only confirmed the old city lord's speculation, hearing this little adult talk about the little princess who saved the Ouyang family last night, his heart jumped and his eyes were inexplicably excited, sure enough, this little adult was sent by those big families, so wouldn't he want to leave a good impression on this little adult?

Thinking like this, and hearing Ning Feng talk about the whole process of witnessing the Qian family's trading of children last night, as well as the story of hiding children in the dry well of the Zhao family's old house, he couldn't help but sweat overflowed in his palms, and his face was also annoyed, this Qian family really lost his conscience, he scolded in his heart, but then he thought that the reason for all this was largely his dereliction of duty as the city lord, and his 'conscience' was suddenly inexplicably colic, oh no, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, the internal organs were a family, and his stomach hurt naturally.

"My lord, this Qian family bullies men and women, is full of evil, does many evils, is difficult to write, insidious and vicious, and loses all conscience...... Xia Guan often thinks that the people are living in dire straits, and they don't beat their chests and feet, they can't sleep at night, and they forget to sleep and eat......"

Eh, Ning Feng saw that he was so selfless, so he hurriedly interrupted and said, "Old City Lord Xiao, please speak up, don't add so many useless words, right?"

Lord Xiao smiled and coughed dryly: "Ahem, yes, yes, listening to the words of the adults, it is like drinking on the head, and it is like being empowered after a long drought, like a long drought and nectar, and the clouds and mist are lifted to see the blue sky, and it is as good as ......."

Ning Feng was a little speechless, this guy is really an old fritter in officialdom, full of unnutritious scenes, listening to him talk so nonsense, the ghost knows how long he is going to talk, and hurriedly interrupted and pretended to be unhappy: "City Lord Xiao, little adult, you just said that the people are still in dire straits, how can you still have the leisure to chat with me, we went to the city a few times ago, but we saw a lot of people leaving their hometowns, why is this?"

City Lord Xiao was really not frightened, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, hugged his fists, bowed his head and bowed his waist, and said: "My lord, please listen to the explanation of the lower officials, the key to the matter is still this Qian family, they colluded with bandits and did evil in the city, and the people were unbearable, so they had to leave their hometowns." ”

Ning Feng suddenly smiled coldly when he heard this, and said coldly: "Heh, Old City Lord Xiao, no matter how weak your City Lord's Mansion is, the city gate is still guarded by your people, don't tell me that the officers and soldiers guarding the city are all blind and can't see or recognize the bandits!"

Hearing this, the city lord of Xiao suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Xiaguan should die, he was also frightened at that time, so he let those thieves enter the city in a daze, and Xiaguan should die." ”

Ning Feng said in his heart, you don't deserve to die, you are afraid of death, if you are desperate to guard the city gate, the people will not be able to fight with you, even if you can't beat it, it's like now, corpses are all over the field and starving, since the results of the two are not very different, why can't you show some parents in the first place?

"City Lord Xiao, get up, I said before, let's not mention the previous things for the time being, the top priority now is to organize manpower, get rid of the tumor of the Qian family, expel the thieves, and then post an official document to welcome the people back to the city, otherwise what is the difference between this Qihe City and a ruined city?"

City Lord Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, just don't care, this little adult is right, now is a great opportunity to get rid of the Qian family and expel the bandits, so he hurriedly told the story of the break between the bandits and the Qian family that he knew early in the morning, Ning Feng and the others heard this, and looked at each other, all of them were overjoyed.

In the end, the city lord Xiao ordered the master to integrate the people and prepare to set off to exterminate the Qian family, and Ning Feng suddenly said to the old city lord Xiao who was leaving: "Old city lord Xiao wait, the kid still has some questions to ask you." ”

City Lord Xiao's eyelids jumped, and his heart inevitably became nervous, Ning Feng hurriedly smiled when he saw this: "Don't be nervous, the boss, I'm just asking about something, since I said that the previous things have been written off, then I have done a lot, I just hope that the boss can think more about the people in the future." Through a short contact with this old fritter, Ning Feng probably knew what he was like, and thought that instead of making him frightened and uncertain about the future, it would be better to give him a reassuring pill and let him do things well, anyway, what he said was nonsense.

Sure enough, the city lord of Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the little adult has any questions, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the lower officials will definitely know everything and answer everything." ”
