Chapter 32: The Outer City

Fengyue Building, Tianzi No. 1 room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cao's mother knelt on the ground, the brazier on the side was sizzling, and the room was as warm as spring, but she was shivering.

Although Huo Bufan is the owner of the building, he rarely takes care of things, and Fengyue has always been taken care of by her.

Now that the two Tianzifang maids she trained by herself have betrayed one after another, she is to blame as a mother, thinking of Huo Bufan's methods, she is even more frightened, and she doesn't dare to breathe.

Huo Bufan tasted the tea, looked at the obese Mother Cao on the ground, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but Fengyuelou made a fuss after Liu Yang, and business will inevitably decline, and at this time, such a shrewd ** is needed to deal with it.

"Punish you for three months' wages, and the matter will be over." Huo Bufan said lightly.

** Relieved on her face, she kowtowed, and was ecstatic in her heart, three months' salary was really insignificant to her, and how to regain Huo Bufan's trust was the key.

"What is that?"

"It's Hongmei, don't worry, I will definitely teach her to appreciate my methods, and by the way, let everyone in the building take a good look at the fate of the betrayer!" Cao's mother said sharply.

Huo Bufan waved his hand, and Cao's mother hurriedly bowed and retreated.

The fat figure gently closed the door, a cold light flashed in Huo Bufan's eyes, but he immediately regained his calm and looked to the side, Wei Zhongxian was sitting on the right, and Master Zhang and Xiang Dashan were standing behind him.

"Thank you for today."

If Wei Zhongxian hadn't come forward, in the face of Liu Yang's threat, he would have weighed it, and for the benefit of Fengyue Tower, he could only release Zifeng unconditionally.

"It's a trivial matter, it's just that young man, which really makes the official angry." As a county magistrate of Liua, he is the first person in Lu'an, and he has long been accustomed to the flattery and humility of others, but Liu Yang does not take him seriously at all.

Thinking that the county order to visit the kiln would soon spread all over Lu'an, he was even more annoyed in his heart.

"My lord, there will be no mistake with that kid's companion beast costume, it is indeed the standard of the black dragon leader." Master Zhang spoke.

Thinking of this, several people's expressions changed slightly, if Liu Yang had anything to do with that one, they would never dare to fight his idea.

"Black Dragon Wei eats a lot of filial piety from my Huo family every year, I haven't heard of this kid," Huo Bufan snorted coldly, "I will send someone to Hengyang to inquire, if he really has anything to do with that person, forget about it, otherwise..."

If Liu Yangzhen has a great relationship with the high-level of Heilongwei, it is naturally not worth causing a conflict for a servant, if it doesn't matter, how can his Huo Bufan's face be easy to wipe?

Fengyue Tower is the first floor of Lu'an, and it is still a subordinate force of Hengyang Fengyuemen, although Lu'an and Hengyang are far away, Huo Bufan has his own faster contact methods.

Several people glanced at each other and smiled understandingly......

In the outer city of Lu'an, the old woman opened her eyes, and it took a long time to see Liu Yang's face clearly, and she squeezed out a smile, "My lord, it's you." ”

Zifeng knelt on the side, her face full of tears, "Mother, I'm Zifeng!" Mother, how did you become like this! ”

The old woman turned her head with difficulty, and saw the woman with pear blossoms and rain, her wrinkled face seemed to be shining at this moment, and she grabbed Zifeng's hand suddenly, "Daughter, is it your daughter?" ”

"Mother! It's me! My daughter is not filial, but my daughter is back! ”

The two hugged each other, and the old woman gently patted Zifeng's back and muttered, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

After a long time, Zifeng wiped away her tears, "Mother, it was this adult who saved me and redeemed my body for me." ”

The old woman raised her head again and looked at Liu Yang suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

"Mother, don't you know each other? He saved me! ”

Liu Yang and Cheng Yong glanced at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Sure enough, after a while, the old woman began to cough violently, her face turned black again, and she saw that her body was about to fall down again.

Liu Yang hurriedly squatted down and supported the old woman, "Hurry up and find a medical center!" ”

"No need, I've studied medicine, and she's run out of oil." Cheng Yong sighed and said.

"How so!" Zifeng looked a little overwhelmed, tears fell again, and the whole person became in a hurry, "Mother, let's go, let's go to the hospital!" ”

The old woman suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Liu Yang, and said clearly: "My lord, you are a good person, I have something to ask for." ”

"Auntie, you say." Liu Yang knew that this was a return to the light before he died.

"Take care of my daughter, she's a good girl."

Liu Yang was a little hesitant, but the old woman's cloudy eyes flashed with hope, this was the old woman's last words, he couldn't refuse, nodded, "Don't worry, aunt, I will do my best." ”

The old woman smiled, grabbed Zifeng's hand, and put it in Liu Yang's hand, "In the room where you liked to play the most when you were a child, there are things left by your father." ”

"Mother, I don't want anything, I just want you!" Zifeng hugged the old woman tightly and shouted hoarsely.

"Remember?" The old woman rubbed Zifeng's head and smiled.

Looking at the old woman's kind smile, Liu Yang fell into a distraction for a while, and only felt a little familiar.

Zifeng's heart-rending cry woke him up, and the old woman passed away, smiling with satisfaction, just because she saw her beloved daughter before she died.

Liu Yang turned around, what he was most afraid of seeing was this kind of parting from life and death.

A little spark came out of my heart, turning into a prairie fire, as if something was burning.

He already understood that the grievances of Hefengyuelou and Liua County would never stop there.

The three of them hastily buried the old woman outside the city, the sky was already clear, and under the leadership of Cheng Yong, they found an inn to live in the outer city.

Zifeng cried and fainted several times, and finally became overtired and fell asleep, Liu Yang covered her with a quilt, pushed the door out, and repeatedly asked the proprietress in the store to take care of her.

"It's really tiring people out this day, don't you rest?" Cheng Yong also walked out of the room and asked.

"I want to go around Lu'an."

"This matter has finally been stopped, does Brother Yang want to have another incident?"

"Is this really an end?" Liu Yang asked with a smile.

Cheng Yong looked at the young man's eyes, opened his mouth, and finally did not refute, Fengyuelou's power is all over Hengyang, plus Wei Zhongxian, it can be said that he has one hand to the sky in this six-A county, will they really give up?

Liu Yang shook his head and was about to go out.

"Wait, I'll go with you." As soon as the words came out, Cheng Yong felt regret.

Liu Yang was a little surprised, he turned around and looked at Cheng Yong with a smile.

The latter turned his heart sideways and stepped forward quickly, "Let's go." ”

Lu'an is divided into two cities, the inner city is very large, more than three times the size of the outer city.

The tall buildings lined up easily break through the walls, and even if you look at them from a distance, you can feel the grandeur of them.

It's just that unlike the prosperity of the night, the inner city at this moment seems lifeless, and there is no movement to hear, and the vitality of the night seems to be an illusion.

"The inner city of Lu'an is full of Qinglou wine shops and gambling houses, which should be like this during the day, and at night, it is a different appearance." Cheng Yong saw the doubt in Liu Yang's eyes and explained.

Liu Yang nodded, and walked along the inner city wall.

The road is wide, and even in the early morning, there are some pedestrians on the road, but they are all yellow and thin, and their clothes are ragged.

Liu Yang and Cheng Yong were both wearing flying fish robes, but these pedestrians turned a blind eye, you must know that even in Hengyang, the Black Dragon Guard is also an eye-catching existence.

Maybe some people don't know the Black Dragon Guard, but the majestic outfit is enough to attract people's attention.

Liu Yang looked at them one by one, and found that they seemed to have no expression on their faces, and their eyes were even more hollow, some people were lying on both sides of the road, and some were leaning against the city wall, all of them were skinny, and their mouths were moaning in pain.

This kind of clear and personal witness is more shocking than last night's Mo Ling Liangke, looking around, Liu Yang didn't feel a little angry, and two words were born in his heart: desolation.

"What the hell is going on?"

Cheng Yong shook his head, "I remember when I came to Lu'an when I was twenty years old, the outer city was not like this, I don't know from which year, it became withered. ”

He almost came to Lu'an every year, but it was all arranged by Master Zhang, he ate and lived in the inner city, and only when he returned to Hengyang did he take a look at it from a distance on his horse, which was far less shocking than such a close distance.

"That's why it's divided into inner and outer cities? Drive all these residents out of the city to die! Liu Yang said indignantly.

"Of course not," Cheng Yong explained, "the law stipulates that an inner city should be built to support the people, and an outer city should be built to defend the enemy. ”

It turns out that this is the meaning of the inner and outer city, whether it is a green house or a gambling house, it should be built in the outer city, and the inner city has a vast area, which is used to support the people, but Lu'an does the opposite.

"Six-A County dares to do this? If human life is treated like a mustard, will no one take care of it? Liu Yang said angrily.

Cheng Yong's face turned red, and Liu Yang remembered that Heilongwei had to send people to inspect dozens of large and small cities around Hengyang every year, and Cheng Yong was sent to Lu'an almost every year.

"Brother Cheng Yong is really cold-blooded." Liu Yang said coldly.

"Brother Yang doesn't know," Cheng Yong smiled bitterly, "Fengyue Tower is a subordinate force of Hengyang Fengyue Gate, and it is said that there are not a few filial piety to the commander every year, if I report it, won't I look for death?" ”

He is not bloodless, but he has encountered walls everywhere in the Black Dragon Guard and has been squeezed out, otherwise he would not have been sent to a place like Lu'an every year, and for more than ten years, he has developed the character of being so timid and afraid of things and not daring to offend others.

Liu Yang was relieved, Fengyuelou colluded with Liua County, and had the protection of the Black Dragon Guard, so that he could cover the sky in Lu'an, and even reverse black and white.

"Is there no other way?"

"There are ...... solutions"

"If you still have a trace of blood, tell me!" Liu Yang shouted.

Looking at the bloody young man in front of him, Cheng Yong seemed to see himself ten years ago, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that Hengyang Ling is an honest official and does things decently, and it is useless to report this matter to Heilongwei, and there may be a glimmer of life in Hengyang Ling." ”

Hengyang and Lu'an, similar to the cities and counties in the previous life, dozens of large and small cities around Hengyang are directly under the jurisdiction of Hengyang Ling, and the Black Dragon Guard of Hengyang City is nominally at the disposal of Hengyang Ling.

"Black Longwei has its own commander, and it is a transgression to go directly to Hengyang Order, I am afraid that I will offend the commander." Cheng Yongdao.

Deeper, he hasn't said it yet, if this matter is not resolved, it is fine, once it is resolved, it is equivalent to cutting off the financial route of the commander, can it still be good? I'm afraid that the Black Dragon Guard won't be able to do it, coupled with the revenge of Fengyuemen, it makes people shudder to think about it.

Liu Yang didn't answer, and there were people like walking corpses on both sides, looking along the road, and there was no end in sight.

If he didn't see it, it would be fine, and if he did, how could he sit idly by, knowing that innocent people are dying here every moment.

What he has to do now is to report the situation here to Hengyang Ling.

His heart moved, and he looked at Cheng Yong, "Lu'an is thousands of miles away from Hengyang, what if there is an accident?" There must be a special way to connect with the Black Dragon Guards, right? ”
