Chapter 149: Arrive at White Qi City
"Lord Hui, we are the disciples of the Chenwu faction, recently traveled down the mountain, when passing by Liuqingcheng, I met an arrogant and domineering son of a big family, this person is cruel in nature, even if he robs the people's daughters, and he likes to torture others, he is terrible by nature, I really can't see it, so I killed this person and eliminated the harm in the name."
He explained word by word, hoping that Jiang Chen could deal with it impartially.
Sure enough, as Jiang Chen guessed, it is this kind of chivalrous plot, which is also the reason why the rangers and court officials are incompatible, there is a network of forces in any place, and the big families are in the same township, there must be someone above, who dares to rebel?
The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, especially in such a remote place, it is even more messy, but the rangers of the rivers and lakes don't care, they rely on the people of the rivers and lakes, they are strong in martial arts, they attack and kill people, and then they travel thousands of miles and no one can catch them.
As soon as a person dies, the rich people feel unsafe, and if they are not safe, they complain about the government, and I send you so much money every year, and you don't protect my safety? One or two said it didn't matter, but a large group of big families said it would definitely not be good.
Therefore, the officials protected each other, and the complaints went up layer by layer, and in the end it affected the roots of the imperial court, so the imperial court and the rangers were so incompatible.
However, for such behavior, Jiang Chen expressed encouragement, no one avenged the people, so it was their turn to take action, and Emperor Fu Buren should indeed be killed.
"Is this true?" Jiang Chen looked at the official who was kneeling on the ground, and asked like this, his tone was a little chilly.
The latter shook his body, was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "My lord." Don't listen to their nonsense, then Chen Gongzi is indeed a little domineering. But it's not as they say."
He wanted to forcibly explain, but was kicked away by Jiang Chen. There is not a single mercy.
In fact, from his hesitant and hesitant mood, Jiang Chen knew that what this group of people said must be true, otherwise where would he need to hesitate so much, it is indeed a country of fish and meat, bullying men and women, this alone is enough to die.
"On the order of Dongchang, quickly investigate this matter, Liu Qingcheng. If this is the case for the children of the Chen family, the family property will be confiscated and demoted to concubines, and at the same time, the local government will be demoted by half a grade and fined for one year. ”
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, one sentence was extremely domineering, he had the princely order, so he naturally had this right. The biggest official in a city is just a prefect-level existence, a seven-rank official, what is he afraid of?
"Yes."
None of these officials did not dare to obey Jiang Chen's orders. At the moment, they quickly left one by one to deal with this matter, as for this official who was kicked by Jiang Chen. But he trembled and did not dare to say a word. For fear of provoking Jiang Chen.
At this time, Jiang Chen took out a bottle of high-grade elixir for treating trauma from his arms and threw it to the group of humans: "Hurry up and put it on her." If you delay for a while, you won't be able to save the immortals. ”
The latter took the jade bottle, glanced at Jiang Chen gratefully at the moment, and then immediately helped his junior sister with medicine.
"Thank you for your rescue, forgive me for all kinds of misunderstandings."
When he came back to his senses, a disciple hurriedly thanked Jiang Chen, and at the same time hoped that Jiang Chen would not hold grudges.
"Hmph, traveling down the mountain, you must also have a thoughtful idea, before you kill someone, you must prepare everything, everything is messed up, bye goodbye and bury the lives of others, and you people's temper troubles will be collected for me, if it weren't for my strength, would you already plan to take me as a hostage?"
Jiang Chen didn't give face to this group of people at all, and reprimanded him on the spot, his face turned cold.
Suddenly, the faces of several people turned red and white for a while, because what Jiang Chen said was the truth, if it was an emergency, they would really take Jiang Chen as a hostage.
"It's a good thing to get rid of harm in the name, you are helping the people, but you are threatening me, and reprimanding the horseman, obviously you don't have any intention of helping the people in your heart, you just want to take this opportunity to make a name for yourself, hypocrisy, but the merits and demerits are offset, I am too lazy to punish you, let me get off the car and leave here, and in the future, when I encounter such a thing, I can do it myself."
Jiang Chen said coldly, although these people are trying to eliminate harm in the name, their attitude towards the people is still with a kind of arrogance, and they feel that they are saviors.
This kind of person is even more disgusting.
If it weren't for the fact that they had indeed eliminated harm for the people before, Jiang Chen would not have spared them.
Several people were speechless, perhaps because Jiang Chen's strength was too strong, they didn't dare to contradict a word, and honestly got out of the carriage and supported the injured woman.
But in the end, they still had a little conscience, and when they turned around, they thanked Jiang Chen, and slowly disappeared here.
It is a good thing to be a ranger in the rivers and lakes, but it is disgusting to go chivalrous and righteous with selfish desires and think about being famous in the world.
After they left, Jiang Chen was delayed here for two hours, and waited until the official messenger came, including the local prefect who also came in person, in fact, he still wanted to see if Jiang Chen's identity was true, but after finding that Ling Jian was not wrong, he promised to clean up the Chen family with sincere fear.
It seemed to be an episode in his life, Jiang Chen didn't want to delay more time here, so he only left a sentence that he would come back to see it in the future and left.
The groom continued to pull the horse, and walked towards Baiqi City with Jiang Chen in fear.
Jiang Chen didn't look at the battle codex anymore, but planned to rest for a few days, after all, he had been engrossed in reading books for more than 20 consecutive days, and although his body was still able to eat, his spirit was a little weak.
Lying in the carriage, Jiang Chen'an slept peacefully.
Of course, he was vigilant at all times, it was a kind of false sleep, this night he slept for two days and two nights, his spirit had recovered, and after getting up and drinking some water and dry food, Jiang Chen continued to read the codex of combat experience.
In this way, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and after saying goodbye to the horseman, Jiang Chen left alone in the next city.
At this moment, there were still three thousand miles away from the White Qicheng, Jiang Chen performed light skills, almost ran overnight, and came to the White Qicheng on the third day.
The white shirt has been stained with a lot of dust, and the whole person looks dusty, but Jiang Chen's spirit is full of surging, and running overnight has not brought him any impact.
Baiqi City, is the border city of the Ming Dynasty, there are traces of swords on the city wall that cannot be removed, the sense of time of the ancient city is coming, there are many people coming and going, most of them are commerce, and you can see some exotic people.
Talking in some strange tones, there are also some strange dresses.
Jiang Chen lined up and waited quietly.
This kind of place is very strictly prohibited, there is no normal formalities and official documents, it is impossible to enter, Jiang Chen took out his official documents, handed them to the guards guarding the city, the latter strictly forbidden, after examining them again, he let Jiang Chen go, there was no respect or contempt and ridicule in the process, it was completely official.
The long tunnel, the traffic, although the White Qicheng is a border, but to be honest, it is also a prosperous area of commerce, there is no war between the two countries, and there is still some mutual commerce.
In the places of two different countries, there are naturally high and low, and the ordinary things of their own kingdom are sold by two or three times and then turned around to make huge profits.
In fact, just like a joke, in the ancient world where Jiang Chen lived, for example, the Tang Dynasty, the first thing foreign businessmen did when they came to the Central Plains was.
"Buy, buy, buy!"
A joke can be an example.
"Foreigner, you have been touched."
"What? Touching porcelain? Where is porcelain? Buy, buy, buy!! ”
"Buy cloth."
"No, buy porcelain."
"Just buy cloth."
"Just buy porcelain."
The exchange of commerce and trade will promote economic development, but more importantly, it will make this place a mixed bag, and it is likely that some seemingly ordinary people may be congenital masters, these things are uncertain.
After walking through the tunnel, Jiang Chen officially stepped into Baiqi City, there are many road guides at the gate of the city, these people know about Baiqi City, and specially introduce Hu Shang, or pull some Jianghu rangers, noble sons to go to some restaurants and restaurants, so as to earn the introduction fee.
Jiang Chen found a guide at random, asked him to lead the way to Babaolou, and gave the other party a tael of silver, and the latter immediately flattered Jiang Chen to Babaolou.
About a stick of incense, Jiang Chen came to the Eight Treasure Building.
Octagonal pagoda building, red brick glazed tiles, magnificent construction, showing the atmosphere, according to the explanation of Lu Yin, Babaolou is an auction house, and there is intelligence peddling, and even has something to do with some assassination organizations, of course, not everyone can go to this kind of place, you must have qualified people, in order to have qualifications.
After Lu Yin left, Jiang Chen walked straight to Babaolou.
On the first floor, there were many people talking to the guests, and soon an old man in his fifties came to Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "This young man doesn't know what to do with Babaolou?" ”
"I'm looking for Mr. Su Po."
Jiang Chen lowered his voice and slowly spoke in the old man's ear.
When the latter heard this, his expression changed at the moment, and then he smiled: "Then sir, please come with me." ”
Jiang Chen followed, and after a while, he came to an independent private room on the fourth floor.
In the private room, the sandalwood is bursting, the spleen and lungs are also very quiet, and it is even more refreshing, and at this time, the slight footsteps come slowly.
Jiang Chen's expression became serious and he got up to receive him.
