Chapter 59: Distress

The commander talked endlessly, and the spit stars flew wildly.

Zhou Xuanqing listened, but the more he listened, the more unhappy he became. Look at these people from the official family, who are so high-sounding about the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the new way of tyrannizing the fields, it is really shameless!

"Master Hou, my lord. According to the investigation of the lower officials, Cai Tongzhi had no hatred in the past and no grievances in the near future, and the only person who can be said to celebrate the festival should be the people of Nabaizhuang. ”

'Snoring, purring~' The sound came from Zhou Xuanqing's feet. I saw a fat cat with the tip of its tongue half-spitting and burying its head in sleep, and snoring from its throat from time to time, which attracted everyone's different eyes.

Liu Yanshu glanced at it, pinched a peanut from the fruit bowl on the table, and bounced it over with a 'whoosh', hitting the spotted cat's head.

"Shhh Staring at Hou Ye, I resisted the urge to scold my mother - Hua Ye, I bear it!

Zhou Xuanqing was fast, grabbed the piebald cat's neck, and carried it into his arms.

"Ah Hua, I'm talking about business~ If you move around, Master Hou is not so simple as rewarding you for eating peanuts. ”

"Is this cat a woman's?" Governor Yang asked casually. In fact, he saw that the relationship between Liu Yanshu and Zhou Xuanqing was very familiar, but it was not as simple as being familiar. I thought that I would take this opportunity to talk about it so that I would not know that I should not be offended. As an official, you always have to look longer.

"It's not counting, it was picked up by Xiaodao. Zhou Xuanqing replied casually.

The spotted cat couldn't help but chirp, just because Zhou Xuanqing gave it a very comfortable smoothness, and its temper dissipated after brewing for a long time.

Liu Yanshu's peach eyes were dyed with a hint of a smile, turned his gaze to the commander, and said, "Since you have eyebrows, why don't you send someone to Baizhuang to investigate?"

"Naturally, naturally!" Governor Yang turned around and ordered: "Bring all the people and set off immediately!"

~

Half an hour later, the sun rose, and the people of the government arrived at the entrance of Baizhuang Village. This scene in the day is even more shocking.

The banks of the filled rivers at the entrance of the village are full of silt and stinking, and the roads are full of houses that have been forcibly demolished, and bald camphors are crooked...... There was no one in the village anymore.

Liu Yanshu got off the horse, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and the smile when he came was gone, with an awe-inspiring expression.

Lu Shiyi spoke up behind him, "Master Hou, Agu and I were on the street yesterday, listening to the people talking about this matter, and everyone was dissatisfied and had nowhere to complain. The decree of the capital is to set up altars in all the prefectures, counties, and towns under the jurisdiction of the ten provinces, and the people must also offer sacrifices and incense every month......"

In this way, it is really a waste of money and labor. Can it not provoke the people to complain?

"Your Majesty is old, I'm afraid this method was said by a dustless real person, right?" Mo Huaigu's expression was a little strange.

Zhou Xuanqing also saw it when he looked sideways, but he didn't make a sound immediately.

"It's a terrible thing, the documents issued by the court are all covered with the seal of the waiting master. Now the people are scolding Hou Ye alone!" After speaking, Lu Shiyi became irritable.

It is said that Zhenguo Hou has the dragon and tiger soldier talisman and controls most of the power in the court, and now this kind of thing that provokes the people's resentment has also been done, and the reputation is really ruined.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuanqing frowned and looked at Liu Yanshu, with a little disappointment in his eyes - a silent sigh.

This move fell in Liu Yanshu's eyes, his hands clenched unconsciously, and the streamer moved in a blink of an eye, and smiled at her innocently: "It's not Benhou." ”

Isn't it? Then who would dare to use the seal of Zhen Guohou, or use it for such a thing that is detrimental to virtue? Zhou Xuanqing just wanted to believe him, but he also felt that it was difficult.

Liu Yanshu knew it.

"Hehe, Ben Hou knows who is so impatient...... "His face looked gloomy for a moment. In an instant, it turned into a drizzle and breeze.

"But the man wants to take my power away from me. Ben Hou left the capital for this piece of right and wrong, but he could see clearly how those people were going to turn the world upside down. ”

Liu Yanshu said and took a step forward with his head held high. Standing with his hands in his hands, he was quite arrogant.

Zhou Xuanqing was stunned when he saw it: That arbitrary appearance is the original appearance of Zhenguohou.

"Hou Ye, there is one thing that Xiao Dao doesn't understand-is the Demon Hunt King so important to Hou Ye? You see that you are not in the capital, and there are people in the court who dare to do things in your name, and in the end, the people will still settle the accounts on the head of the town and the country. How worthless is it?"

Liu Yanshu was about to say something, but an unusual movement sounded in his ears.

"Boom knock! boom knock!" everyone suddenly felt a slight shock on the ground, and when they looked down at their feet, they found that there was a lot of gravel beating, and their hearts immediately swelled with uneasiness.

"Look at that!" the Commander pointed ahead, but his eyes were wide open, and his expression was blue and white with panic.

Zhou Xuanqing's heart was not good, and he turned around to look: the large and small stones that were originally blocked on the road in the village, I don't know from what moment they had gathered into a human shape, rolling gray dust and smoke, and rushed towards them!

"It's not good! It's dangerous here! Evacuate quickly!" Zhou Xuanqing immediately shouted, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, the choking dust and smoke spread towards them, enveloping everyone in it, blocking their vision for a while, and they couldn't even tell who was standing next to them, so they could only follow the voice and ask.

The stone monsters rushed over one by one, only to see that they were huge, and their faces showed rough facial features. The officers and soldiers reacted after panicking, drew their knives to cut and found that these stone monsters were not easy to deal with at all.

With a bang, someone slashed at the stone monster's shoulder and bounced out, but the stone monster was only cut out of a small gap. The stone monster was furious, lifted the man's arm with one hand, and then slammed it downβ€”the man wailed, his back fell to the ground, and his ribs were broken, and he could no longer move.

Zhou Xuanqing breathed rapidly, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead. She squinted her eyes and scanned left and right in the dust and smoke with difficulty: "Master Hou, Ah Hua?" Because she covered her mouth and nose, her voice was muffled, and no one could hear Zhou Xuanqing's voice clearly in the chaos.

Although I couldn't see clearly, I could still hear the chaotic shouts and the sound of swords hitting stones as far as I could see......

If this continues, I'm afraid that if the stone monster is not knocked down, it will hack its own people to death first.

Zhou Xuanqing took a long breath, took out the yellow paper talisman from the inner pocket of his waist, the flame burned quickly like a snake, and a small path faintly appeared in the dust and smoke after flying around.

She was overjoyed, and as soon as she took a few steps, heavy footsteps sounded in her ears - it turned out that the stone monster was on a rampage, rushing towards Zhou Xuanqing!

Seeing the stone monster's big hand hammer, Zhou Xuanqing jumped up with all his might, stepping on its knees and jumping in the air, "Go!" The talisman flew to the stone monster's head, and the stone monster stiffened for a moment.

Zhou Xuanqing only breathed a sigh of relief when he landed, and other stone monsters approached through the smoke. At this moment, my heart was cold, and the blood all over my body was about to stop-

Her mind flashed, and she quickly took out a handful of rice grains from her waist pouch and threw them out!

After a while, the stone monster shattered into large and small stones.
