Chapter 34: Yanling City (United)

Erlang and Yan Qi chatted casually for a few more words, and a group of people began to walk towards the city.

Less than 200 meters away from the city gate is the market, the common people are busy in their own way, the vendors are selling their own things, and the particularly lively street looks very prosperous.

When a vegetable vendor saw Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing, his expression instantly froze, and it took a while to react.

"Ghost here, ghost here......" The vegetable vendor shouted loudly and ran around, and the stall didn't have time to take care of it.

The people looked at Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing at the same time, and the originally lively streets instantly jumped and the people ran around in a panic.

Yan Qi looked at the one in front of him and felt very uncomfortable.

"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. They are not ghosts, they are people," Wei Xuan said loudly, but those ordinary people didn't listen to what Wei Xuan said at all.

"Folks. I'm Zhang Erlang, I'm a guard at the city gate now, you should all know me, can you listen to me" Erlang stood on the vegetable stall and said loudly.

When everyone heard that it was Zhang Erlang who was there, they began to quiet down one by one.

"Folks, listen to me, they are not ghosts, they were just framed like this, you take a good look at them, they are just living people" Zhang Erlang stood on the vegetable stall and looked at the people and said seriously.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if they're not ghosts, how do you explain that so many people died?" asked one of the slightly bolder men.

"Folks, those people were indeed killed by me, I know that I have done many unforgivable things, but they deserve to be killed, and I don't regret killing them" Yan Qi looked at everyone and said seriously.

"You are so justified in killing people, killing people to pay for your life, and repaying debts, this is a matter of course, folks, we must not allow such a murderer to stay in our Yanling City" Another ordinary person said.

Suddenly, the common people all smashed at Yan Qi with the things in their hands, Yan Qi didn't hide, because he knew that he had committed an unforgivable sin, and he also felt that he deserved it.

Chen Xiaojing ran to Yan Qi to block the things that were smashed by the villagers for Yan Qi

"Xiaojing, you get out of the way, let them smash, this time makes the villagers scared, let them release their emotions It must be a bad thing" Yan Qi pushed Chen Xiaojing away after speaking.

The villagers smashed for a while, and their emotions almost stopped.

"You should also know about me and Xiaojing, think about it carefully, is it really what you see? I believe that many of you must have been bullied by people in the yamen, and I am helping you by killing them, I know that this cannot be used as a reason for me to kill, but Xiaojing and I are not ghosts, we were framed by them, please believe me, I will not hurt everyone......" Yan Qi's eyes flashed with tears and said that Yan Qi's body was smashed and scaled, but he didn't have any complaints about the people.

After listening to Yan Qi's words, many people lowered their heads, and yes, many of them were indeed bullied by that county order, forcibly collecting grain and collecting taxes indiscriminately. Abuse of power, the life of the common people is miserable.

"Folks, now the court has no time to care about us, those officials are all wolf-hearted, if we don't unite again, we really don't know how to live in the future, now a few of us are going to go to the yamen to ask for an explanation, you are willing to go with us, we welcome, if you don't want to go, I won't blame you, this county order is doing this, it can be said that people and gods are angry, we must pull him down, folks, please give us a chance, please give yourself a chance" Zhang Erlang said with a serious expression.

"Folks, Erlang is right, we have been living hard under their oppression all these years, and now if we don't protest, I don't know when this kind of day will be a head," a common man said.

"Yan Qi, we will believe you once, in fact, we all know about you and Chen Xiaojing, in this way, we will all accompany you to ask the county order for an explanation," said a person who was about the same age as Yan Qi.

"Yes, let's go together, we have to ask for an explanation......" The villagers began to stand on Yanqi's side.

Wusheng and Wei Xuan glanced at each other, smiled with satisfaction, and a large group of people began to walk in the direction of the yamen.

Knock knock knock......

"Master, wake up, that Yanqi kid is back with Chen Xiaojing......" A subordinate in the yamen said anxiously to the fat man who was sleeping in the room.

"What's the matter, don't you know that I'm sleeping, sir?" said a greasy uncle with a big belly who slowly got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.

Both sides of the bed were piled up with gold and silver treasures, and the county magistrate had to hold a pile of gold when he slept.

The prefectural commander slowly walked to the door and opened the door.

"What's the matter, you have to disturb my sleep, didn't you say don't call me if you don't have money? Are you too bold and have itchy skin?"

"Master, I said that Yan Qi came back with Chen Xiaojing, and this will be outside the yamen!" the subordinate said anxiously.

When the county order heard it, the eyes that were originally squinted were very big in an instant. His body trembled, and he leaned against the door and ducked back.

"You, you...... What are you talking about, the ghosts of Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing have come to me for revenge?" said the county magistrate, looking frightened.

"It's not ghosts, the little ones were because they were ghosts at first, and then I learned that they weren't dead, they were people!" said the next man.

"Really...... Really?" asked the prefectural magistrate, still a little scared.

"It's true, the little one saw it with his own eyes," said the man.

"Then why are you still calling me?" the county magistrate confirmed that the two were not ghosts this time, and instantly stood up in his chest and said arrogantly.

"They said they wanted to see you, so I had to come and call you," the servant said helplessly.

"You're all a bunch of rubbish, I don't know what I want you to do," the county magistrate said angrily.

"Well, I want to see what they can do with me, I don't look for them, they come to me, it's kind of interesting......" The county magistrate touched his beard and smiled evilly.

After a while, the door of the Kung Fu Yamen opened, and more than a dozen soldiers came out and surrounded Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing.

The county magistrate laughed and slowly walked in front of them from behind the crowd.

"Little beauty, I haven't seen you for a few years and you're still so beautiful, do you miss me?"

"Why are you so scoundrel, you still don't change your dead nature to this day," Yan Qi looked at the county order and said.

"Bold, I didn't say you, you talked about me first, this is my territory, you'd better be honest with me," the county magistrate said arrogantly.

"Hmph...... If it weren't for you, Xiaojing and I wouldn't be like this today, you are simply a robber and bandit......" Yan Qi continued to look at the county order angrily and scolded.

"Yo, don't be ashamed, come on, kill him for me," the prefectural commander said angrily to the soldiers.

Those soldiers were just about to step forward, but they were stopped by Wusheng and Wei Xuan.

"Who are you?" asked the prefectural magistrate.

"Who are we, it's not your turn to ask," Wei Xuan said angrily.

"Yo, today is really interesting, there are so many people who are not afraid of death, come on, tie me all up, press me to prison and wait for my fate" As soon as the county order finished speaking, he wanted to move his hands and feet to Chen Xiaojing, but was stopped by Yan Qi.

"What are you still doing in a daze, all of them will be escorted back to me," the county magistrate said loudly when he found that the soldiers had not moved.

"I'll see who dares to ......," said one of the people who came with him.

"Yo, there is another one who is not afraid of death, who said it just now, stand up for me......" The county magistrate thought that those ordinary people were all onlookers, so he looked at everyone and asked arrogantly.

Suddenly, all the people took two steps forward. The county commander was stunned for a moment.

"What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" said the county magistrate, looking at the people viciously.

"You don't deserve to be our county commander at all" "Yes, not worthy" The crowd began to say one after another.

Seeing this, the county magistrate began to panic a little.
