Chapter 53: Reinvigorate
Zhao Hengzhi closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and suddenly woke up.
He really shouldn't be so depressed anymore, otherwise he would live up to the expectations of the two of them. And he has just taken office, so he is so self-defeating, he is ashamed of this official uniform on his body.
Zhao Hengzhi raised his eyes and saw a few big words hanging in the lobby: "The mirror is hanging high."
As a parent official, you should have a mirror in your heart and always remind yourself that you should make decisions for the people and uphold justice for the people.
"You, you're right, I'm ...... I really shouldn't be so decadent......" Zhao Hengzhi muttered.
He only cared about guilt, the most important thing in front of him was not guilt and sadness, but he should cheer up, find the real culprit for Wu Feng, and let those wicked people get the punishment they deserve.
"Husband, you're finally sober!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Zhao Hengzhi saw Yao Yuran walk in from the door. Immediately, not only Yao Yuran, but even Ye Junjun and Chu Xiao also walked in.
"You, did you collude?" Zhao Hengzhi finally understood. Lu Tian and Lu Hai have such a deep relationship, how can they say that they will fight when they fight.
"Dwarf oil, aren't people thinking about their husbands and gentlemen!" Yao Yuran smiled like a flower, as long as Zhao Hengzhi could be awakened, this kind of little trick could also be forgiven.
Zhao Hengzhi tightened his handsome eyebrows, solemnly said, and made a promise, "I, Zhao Hengzhi, in front of everyone, I promise that there will never be a situation like today in the future, as for the two Wang families, I will not let them get away with it!" ”
Chu Xiao smiled faintly, "Zhao Gongzi can think like this, it is naturally the best." ”
Ye Junjun suddenly sneered and said, "You don't know, I almost burst out laughing in the room just now, seeing you with such a sad face, I really can't bear to deceive you." ”
The gloom on Zhao Hengzhi's face gradually dissipated, and now the task on his shoulders is even more arduous, and it is still a very difficult matter to uproot Wang Fang's two big trees.
In the next few days, the drums at the door of the yamen never sounded again, and the people of Micheng all tightened their necks, not daring to cause trouble with the Wang and Fang families.
Only then did Zhao Hengzhi understand that the killing of Wu Feng by the Wang family was just an example of chickens and monkeys, so that the people of Micheng would no longer dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
And the matter of solving the case is at a loss, although the tavern is closed, Zhao Hengzhi still runs to the tavern every day, he wants to find out a little clue.
As for Wu Feng's body, Ge hastily buried Wu Feng's body.
On this day, the sky is getting dark.
Yao Yuran accompanied Zhao Hengzhi out of the tavern, the street was deserted, and a crescent moon hung on the treetops.
As soon as the wind blew, Yao Yuran only felt that her back was cold, and she couldn't help but hold Zhao Hengzhi's arm.
"Lady, are you hungry? Why don't we go find a noodle restaurant tonight and eat outside. Zhao Hengzhi turned his head and said to Yao Yuran.
There was still a long distance from here to the Yamen, and Zhao Hengzhi couldn't bear to let Yao Yuran starve.
Zhao Hengzhi is very grateful to Yao Yuran, until 10,000 these days, Yao Yuran has been by his side, and if Yao Yuran wasn't there, he wouldn't have been able to support him for so long.
"Well, I remember that there is a noodle restaurant over there in the big locust tree, let's go over there!" Yao Yuran said with a smile.
In this cold weather, it is also good to eat a bowl of hot noodles.
However, before they reached the noodle shop, they saw several strong men grabbing two women. A woman of thirty years of age, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen, whose immature face was full of horror and tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Let's go! Don't be like a dead father, go to Wanhualou, and don't suffer! Make sure you don't have to worry about food and clothing! A man with a scar on his face urged.
"No, no, no! Please, let my daughter go, she's still young! I'll get you on your knees! The woman fell to her knees with tears in her eyes.
"Get up! Master Wang has ordered, you can't let people go! It's useless to beg me! The scar man grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her up.
Yao Yuran couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhao Heng beside him: "Go, go and save people!" ”
Zhao Hengzhi stood still, looking at them with a frightened expression.
"What's wrong with you, I said to save people, don't you understand Chinese?" Yao Yuran was even more depressed when he saw Zhao Hengzhi in a daze.
Zhao Hengzhi remembered the tragedy that happened in Wu Feng before, and he muttered: "If we go to save people, will we harm their lives?" ”
He feared that if he couldn't save them, he would put them in danger.
"I don't care, do I want to watch them fall into the fire pit?" Yao Yuran frowned and said, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself!" ”
Yao Yuran took an arrow step and rushed towards them.
"Who are you?" The scar man glared at Yao Yuran viciously, Yao Yuran was not afraid of danger, she sneered: "Aunt Ben's name is Yao Sanniang, and she specializes in you bullies and bandits!" ”
"Yao Sanniang, why haven't you heard of this name!" The scar man touched the door of his head. He has lived in Micheng for more than 20 years, and he has never heard this name.
"Look at the sword!" Yao Yuran didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so he stepped forward with his sword.
In the cold wind, Yao Yuran pulled out the soft sword on his waist, beat those people to the ground, and looked for teeth all over the ground.
"Hmph, I thought it was so powerful, it turned out to be some embroidered pillows!" Yao Yuran smiled contemptuously, she kicked the scar man's ass, and the scar man screamed in pain.
Yao Yuran strode towards the two weak women, and said with concern, "Are you all right?" ”
"We're fine, thank you girl for saving me, I'm Li Cui'e kowtowing to you!" The woman hurriedly knelt down, and was about to take her daughter to kowtow to Yao Yuran.
Yao Yuran helped them up, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, if you encounter this kind of thing, you will definitely punish them!" ”
Scar Man took the opportunity to get up from the ground, he was holding a wooden stick, and was about to sneak attack Yao Yuran's back.
"Lady, be careful!" At this critical moment, Zhao Hengzhi shouted loudly.
Yao Yuran heard the voice and hurriedly dodged, her eyes were quick, she snatched the wooden stick from the scar man's hand, and said sharply: "Okay, you dare to sneak attack me, see if I don't kill you!" ”
Yao Yuran waved a wooden stick and hit the scarred man's thigh fiercely, and the scarred man was once again lying on the ground by her.
"Don't get out of here!" Yao Yuran shouted angrily. Just because Yao Yuran didn't have the intention of killing, he let them go.
Scar Man and several of his men fled in dismay.
Zhao Hengzhi came over at this time, and he said with a sad face: "Lady, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, but you're a coward just now." Yao Yuran was still quite unhappy with the abnormality of the talented Zhao Hengzhi.
"I ...... I'm just afraid I'm going to hurt them again. The corners of Zhao Hengzhi's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness.
On the issue of saving people and harming people, Zhao Hengzhi felt hesitant, for fear that he would repeat the mistakes of Wu Feng's tragedy. He was not sure that he could protect the lives of the weak.
"What are you afraid of, just bring them back to the yamen." Yao Yuran said righteously.
"Yamen??? Could it be that you are the county magistrate and his group who recently came to Micheng? Then Li Cui'e was surprised.
"That's right. He is the new county magistrate Zhao Hengzhi, and I am his wife Yao Yuran! Yao Yuran said lightly.
Zhao Hengzhi pulled Yao Yuran to the corner and whispered: "Lady, we have so many people now, if we take them back, I'm afraid we will be eaten up sooner or later." ”
"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Yao Yuran was confident.
"What's the solution?" Zhao Hengzhi aroused curiosity.
"Have you forgotten that there is a vacant land behind our yamen? We can take advantage of it. Yao Yuran smiled skillfully.
Yao Yuran still made a plan in his heart, so many people live in the yamen, and it is not enough to just eat and dry. She was preparing to make good use of the wasteland in the mountain behind the Yamen. Reclaim wasteland, grow vegetables and raise chickens, so that you can feed yourself.
Zhao Hengzhi thought about it carefully, and he immediately understood what Yao Yuran was thinking.
"Okay, then everything is up to the lady." Zhao Hengzhi bowed slightly.
He knew that Yao Yuran was very smart and would definitely not do anything he was not sure of, Zhao Hengzhi and Yao Yuran returned to the yamen with the rescued Li Cui'e mother and daughter.
Li Cui'e told what happened to them.
It turned out that Li Cui'e and her daughter Meng Yaoyao originally lived a peaceful life, Li Cui'e relied on her own embroidery to support herself and her children, but Li Cui'e had a gambling husband Meng Jinsong, Meng Jinsong was addicted to gambling, was tricked, and lost all his belongings, Meng Jinsong had no choice but to sell his wife and daughter to Qinglou to pay off his debts.
After hearing this, Zhao Hengzhi felt that their experience was strikingly similar to Xie Ling's.
"You mean the casino cheats people and makes them lose all their money? Then the people in the casino colluded with the people in the Qinglou and took you to the fire pit......" Zhao Hengzhi couldn't believe it.
He himself has opened Qinglou and casinos, but he never thought of using such despicable and vicious means to harm the people.
"Yes, they can't do anything evil. Besides, there are more women from good families like us in the Qinglou! Li Cui'e said, couldn't help wiping her tears.
"Damn, these people are simply lawless!" Zhao Hengzhi gritted his teeth with hatred.
Since I came to Micheng, I haven't heard of any good things about the two Wang Fangs, they have done a lot of evil, they have done all the bad things, and their humanity has long been extinguished.
Li Cui'e paused and said, "I also heard that many of the girls in the green building were sold into the yellow flowers. Soliciting business for them, and those prostitutes don't care about the lives of those women, and even cause death......"
"We have to get them out!" Yao Yuran's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't swallow this evil breath.
"No, last time, that Wu Feng was brutally murdered...... Li Cui'e said in a panic.
