Chapter 14: The Aftermath
At the gate of Kapok City, the people of the imperial court are posting a list. This is a wanted bounty for the 'killing', but there is no portrait of the person on it, only a letter from the government.
"'Killing' is terrible, murderous maniac!" One of the onlookers spoke.
"Yes! The entire Yan family was killed cleanly, leaving no living creatures! Another person sighed.
"The people who 'kill' are really damned, it's too inhuman!" Everyone in the crowd said yes.
"We're just ordinary people, don't talk about 'killing', the first family of people can be wiped out, not to mention those of us who are defenseless, let's stop it!" A voice came, and it was Wang Bi, the storyteller of the Splendid Restaurant in Kapok City.
"Mr. Wang's lesson is right, let's shut up." The few people who spoke up earlier were stunned.
The crowd was no longer blatantly speaking, and they were scared, but they were still muttering quietly.
……
The city lord sent someone to maintain order in the city, after all, the Yan family in the city was destroyed, causing panic. At this time, what the people of Kapok City need is appeasement.
"For the tragedy of the Yan family, I am very unfortunate to say 'I'm sorry' to everyone, although I know that it is useless, but I have done my best!" Mu Jingran shook his left arm, which was wrapped with a cloth belt, and there was faint blood pouring out, "When I learned that this happened to the Yan family, it was too late, the thieves were fierce, and when they entered the city, they were silent, and they didn't show the slightest rumor." When we arrived at the Yan family, the Yan family was already unrecognizable, but we still found some of the killers who were evacuating, and the people of the City Lord's Mansion tried their best to pursue them, but in the end they still fled. In this pursuit, more than a dozen people were killed and injured in the City Lord's Mansion, I am very sad, of course, our people were not sacrificed in vain, and these are the thieves who were killed behind me! After investigation, it was found that the person who was indeed 'killing' was correct. Our people in my house were patrolling the streets that day, and by the time we found the guard on duty, he had already died in the line of duty. ”
"But I swear, I will never allow anyone to come to our Kapok City to commit murder again, if there is, I will definitely be in battle in person, and return Kapok City to a prosperous place!"
Mu Jingran swore in front of the city lord's mansion and made a loud voice, announcing to the people that he would investigate the tragedy of the Yan family to the end, and his statement was impassioned, and the people who didn't know the truth also applauded again and again, and at the same time praised Mu Jingran for being a good city lord and daring to be the first, even if the thief was strong, he would have to block his body in front of the people.
Zuo Huairen and Zi Yuhai were also on the side, after all, they were the first few families in Kapok City, and the city lord's face still had to be given. He looked at Mu Jingran and was speechless for a while: "This thing can really be loaded, and even the means of self-harm have been used, is Nima fighting so hard?" This group of ordinary people is really easy to fool, Mu Jingran actually fooled them in a few words, and he admired and loved him even more, Zhen Nima can play! ”
Mu Jingran looked at the white-eyed two beside him, and smiled slightly, and the scalps of Zuo Huairen and Zi Yuhai who were laughing were numb.
"The people of Kapok City have always been united, just this time, the Zuo family and the Zi family also contributed, although the effect was not great, but after all, they did their best for Kapok City. And I believe that the future Zuo family and the Zi family in Kapok City will definitely do their best to maintain it. Mu Jingran smiled naturally, while Zuo Huairen and Zi Yuhai smiled extremely reluctantly.
He dealt with the two sides on the surface, and said that they would do their best to assist Saki Jingran, but in his heart, he kept despising him: "You go and kill the special people, and you also do the good people, now it's the turn of the Fenyan family, you do this, what is this!" ”
I only heard Mu Jingran continue: "Although the Yan family has suffered this misfortune, there are still people who are outcast, we will try our best to help them return to the Yan family, as for the current Yan family still needs protection, I decided to divide the manpower of the City Lord's Mansion to help them, and my City Lord's Mansion will assist the Yan family in rebuilding!" ”
Everyone called Mu Zhizhi, high righteousness, and good heart.
Zuo Huairen and Zi Yuhai also woke up, "Ma De, this Mu Jingran is really unkind, this is taking over the Yan family?" It's a good excuse and a good means, but it's also a good excuse! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said at the same time: "My Zuo family (Zi family) is also willing to help the Yan family together with the City Lord's Mansion!" ”
Mu Jingran clenched his fists and said: "The Zuo family and the Zi family are also well aware of righteousness, and they are willing to do so, I am here to thank you for the Yan family!" ”
Everyone praised Mu Jingran again.
Zuo Huairen and Zi Yuhai scolded secretly in their hearts: "It's shameless!" ”
"Everyone is gone, and then I have to help the Yan family, so I won't delay much." Mu Jingran said modestly.
"City Lord, you are too polite!"
"City Lord, you are busy first, don't worry about us."
"Lord Wood, you go slowly."
After a while, the front of the city lord's mansion was quiet, and the division went from light to dark, and each collected the accounts.
……
Middle-earth City.
Although the people here are not as frightened as the people in Kapok City, they are still embarrassed when they hear about the Yan family.
Above the temple, the lord of the country was angry, and the ministers were silent. The ministers came to see each other early in the morning for this purpose, but to no avail.
A minister said: "This matter has indeed been found out to be the 'killing' of the Jianghu organization, they have always acted cautiously, no one wants to touch their eyebrows, after all, almost no one knows where their headquarters is, and even if someone knows, they will not go to a barriel with a killer organization, this is not a deal." ”
Another minister said: "'Killing' has suddenly become active in the past two years, since the new leader took office, he has done things vigorously and resolutely, and all kinds of tasks have been completed in the shortest possible time, among which it is not known, but one thing is certain, the new leader is very capable!" ”
"Recently, 'killing' is in the limelight, and many forces seem to be avoiding it, and there may be some unknown things, Mu Xiu Yulin is not a good thing after all, and this matter may be a little difficult to do." The prime minister at the head of the main hall added.
After listening to everyone's speeches, the lord pondered intently, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "This is your opinion? That's your solution? ”
The ministers were silent, only listening to a sigh from the lord of the country, "Prime Minister Mingqiu, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Then he retreated, and the matter of the Yan family in Kapok City was handed over to the prime minister.
Prime Minister Mingqiu also did a good job, letting the city gates of various state capitals post notices in front of the city gates to "kill" wanted and strengthen the inspection of local people entering and leaving. There is no portrait list on the wanted notice......
……
West of Zhongzhou City.
A ruined temple.
When Beimang learned about this, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of thought.
"Why did Beigu do this, did he perceive something? But Mu Luo, Mu Luo, you still haven't calmed down, there is a price to enter the plan in advance, although those people won't care too much, but there will still be some necessary warnings, hey, I can't hold my breath. Beimang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Maybe he should also come out to join in the fun." ”
Beimang called a beggar to his side and didn't know what he was told, but the beggar who came just nodded and left.
