With a few coughs, he began to tell the story of what had happened. Originally, this Jiangjin Village was indeed a prosperous place, but it was a pity that two years ago, Xingyang Assassin Shi Xue Lucha wanted to build Qifeng Tower in the city, and arrested villagers everywhere, not to mention that in order to raise funds, he even increased taxes by falsely spreading the holy decree. Many people who were forced to suffer unspeakably wanted to go to Beijing to file a complaint, but they were beaten to death, and even sent troops to guard the gate of Jiangjin Village to prevent them from leaving.

After the completion of the Qifeng Tower, in order to prevent the matter from leaking, Xue Lucha drove the remaining dozen villagers to the back mountain to kill them. Later, in order to cover up people's eyes, the corpses were thrown into mass graves in batches, and after the matter was done, Xue Lucha lied to the outside world that these villagers had left Xingyang and went elsewhere.

The people in the city didn't know what was going on, but they also felt that it was very strange, and the disappearance of these people was too strange. Since then, it has been regarded as a ghost village. No one dares to come here and rebuild the village. I often hear merchants passing by here saying that they can see the ghost fire and hear the ghost crying at night.

Under all the rumors, few people have set foot in this place. He was able to escape by luck because he went out to chop wood. For so many years, he had been hiding in a nearby cave, living on wild fruits and vegetables, but the drought was severe, and the plants and trees had died a lot, and there was still something for him to eat.

In order to survive, he had to come to the deserted village to see if he could scare passers-by and trick them into taking food. Normally, those people would run away when they saw them, but they didn't. That's why he was so strange when he saw Xie Yaoguang and them, and he was hungry in his stomach to watch it for so long that he was caught by Zhuo Jing.

After the story was told, the man showed indignation, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, praying that Xie Yaoguang could avenge these innocent people who died in vain.

Looking down at the person who kept kowtowing to him, Xie Yaoguang lifted him up from the ground with a trace of pity in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, they won't die innocently." Someone will go to the Xue family to settle accounts. ”

After hearing Xie Yaoguang's promise, the man looked happy and began to kowtow to her again. Shouting in your mouth that you are really a bodhisattva, you will definitely be rewarded for being so kind. Hearing the man praise himself like this, Xie Yaoguang just chuckled and didn't say much. After asking the man some questions, he instructed Zhuo Jing to give the man a few taels of silver as a reward.

After the man took the silver, he arched his hand towards Xie Yaoguang, turned around and strode away.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yaoguang originally planned to go around the neighborhood, but Zhuo Jing did not agree with Xie Yaoguang's idea. It is said that it is now a famine year, and the people outside Xingyang City can only live because they can't survive.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Yaoguang also felt that what Zhuo Jing said was quite reasonable, and immediately dispelled this idea and set off to return to the city. Before the group arrived at the city gate, they met Qingluan and others who were also stopped outside the city gate.

"Something's wrong. Why are there so many people at the gates? Xie Yaoguang, who was wearing a hat, raised his eyes through the veil and glanced at the crowd queuing at the city gate, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qingluan looked around and made sure that no one was looking at them, and then whispered in his ear: "I heard that it was an order from Xingyang Assassin Shi that he received news that there were mobs outside the city to riot, and in order to prevent the mob from being chaotic, anyone in the city who entered the city must have a certificate issued before. ”

After hearing this, Xie Yaoguang's eyes slipped a trace of suspicion, it was really interesting, as soon as he left Xingyang City with his front foot, Xue Lucha began to say that there were mobs outside the city, and in order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, everyone had to verify their identities before they could enter the city. This order is clearly aimed at himself, but it is not necessarily that there is no way to infiltrate the city.

With a laugh in his eyes, Xie Yaoguang put down the veil on his hat. Standing in the crowd and looking at the city gate shrouded in the lights, the mockery in his eyes grew stronger.

A crisp bell rang, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted that there was a fire. Then a flame burned along the tea shop not far from the city gate, and the crowd also became agitated with the growing fire, and they all rushed to the city gate in terror. Xie Yaoguang and his party deliberately hid at the back of the crowd, looking at the sergeants who were in charge of guarding the door with embarrassed faces.

Originally, he wanted to order his soldiers to close the door, but when he saw those individuals rushing to the city gate in panic, rushing to the city gate. Even if he knew that Xue Lucha gave him a death order that he couldn't let anyone in, but at this moment, he couldn't bear it, and while ordering his soldiers to open the city gate, he arranged for a small number of people to go to put out the fire.

Xie Yaoguang, who entered the city with the crowd, deliberately stayed on the sergeant's body for a moment when he passed by the city gate. However, it was only a short moment before it was staggered, and by the time the sergeant reacted, Xie Yaoguang and his party had already disappeared into the crowd.

The sergeant rubbed his eyes vigorously and tried to look into the crowd, but he didn't see where the strange gaze came from, as if the cold and pitying gaze he had just felt was just his own delusion.

"Lao Guo, what are you looking at? You said that you are doing what you are doing by letting these people in, in case an adult punishes you, I can't save you. The colleague on the side patted him on the shoulder, looked up at the people who were entering the city one after another, and sighed, "You said you were too reckless." What do you do if a mob sneaks into the city? Lao Guo, now that the drought is so bad, it's hard to have something to eat, you have to cherish it. ”

Hearing his colleague talk about himself like this, Lao Guo shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zuo, you also said that now is the time for drought. It's not easy for anyone to live, and we are all ordinary people, so why bother them? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lao Zuo glared at Lao Guo helplessly, then shook his head and strode away. In his opinion, Lao Guo's behavior was extremely stupid, and they came out to work in the government to support their families. It's a great drought in the world, and people are dying of hunger in several places. If it weren't for the pity, they were willing to give them a bite to eat and a way to live, but I am afraid that they would have become corpses in mass graves, gnawed by jackals and wild dogs.

No matter how hard the court fights in those big people, what does it have to do with them ordinary people, anyway, it is not his turn to be a big official, and he is not poor in his past life. If he wants him to say that Lao Guo is really stupid, he feels bad when he has money and food, but he wants to disobey the orders of the adults and do something, it is difficult to expect those people to remember his kindness.

Wouldn't it be nice to listen to the orders of the adults and do things for the adults? If you have to give up your money for the righteousness in your heart, the court will not reward you for your little merit.
