Chapter Forty-Eight: Four Big-Eared Melon Seeds
As soon as the army entered the city, it was indeed treated as a victor. The Millennial Commander humbly lined up in two columns with a group of generals to be inspected by the Grand Governor. Behind the surrendered soldiers were groups of people standing on tiptoe looking at the official road, or exchanging heads or critics, and some even had complacent and gloating on their faces. It's no wonder that none of the living residents of Storm Catcher City have seen the fall of the city, and the older elders may have scattered memories of the city lord before the recklessness in the conversations they throw out after dinner. In addition, this is the fiefdom of Tuwangzuka, and whoever dares to go wild here is impatient.
Some of the displaced people rejoiced in the crowd watching, singing hymns for their "important role" in the battle to overthrow the reckless rule; Some of the wealthy merchants and peddlers who were doing business were a little flustered, wondering if the new official would confiscate the iron brazing iron pot they used for business to make steel while leaning them heavily on taxes, and all of them would be confiscated in the name of war readiness; The most apprehensive were the priests and nobles, who knelt outside the palace gate in groups, vying for the best position in the front row, for fear that if they knelt in an undignified and incomplete position, they would lead to death. In their hearts, from the moment of self-restraint and recklessness, their fate is no longer in their own hands, whether it is a grasshopper after autumn or a hibernating frog completely depends on the performance, but also on the mood of the winner.
Wolfes has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he is really a good hand at governing the country. Without Zhou Yu's explanation, he quickly made several decisions:
1. Immediately start the work of purging the remnants of the prison and reckless drugs, and all those who are in the public business, in private affairs, in the exchange of interests, and in the cult of personality, and all those who have been in close contact with the reckless family in the past, will all be arrested and seized, and after the new city lord is in place, they will be deliberated and decided on how to deal with them.
2. Strengthen patrols and inspections in the city, arrange double the number of people to do a good job in public security and emergency response, close ammunition depots, and implement a curfew throughout the city. Prevent people with ulterior motives from engaging in sabotage activities that are detrimental to the political stability of Chasing Wind City at a time when the old and new regimes are changing and intertwined.
3. Immediately deploy special personnel to the surrounding farming tribes and cities to purchase flour and other grains at high prices, expand reserves, and survive granaries, so as to reassure the hungry people and conform to the will of the merchants. Before the purchase of grain was in place, the military rations were opened and released for the people of the whole city to buy and use.
"See the Grand Governor!" Passing through a large number of nobles and priests kneeling outside the palace gate, an old man in a white robe strode forward with a meteor, heroic posture, crane hair and childish face, and waved his hands from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Alas--they're all old fritters, why are you so polite?" The Governor spoke and pressed his hands. To put it bluntly, the two are just a cooperative relationship, and they don't have a special understanding of their roots, so it's better not to show too closeness.
"These are--" The Grand Governor deliberately pulled a long note and looked at Wolfis.
"Oh, I would like to tell the Metropolitan Governor, these are the nobles and priests of the Windcatcher City, and they have heard that the Metropolitan Governor has obeyed the will of heaven and assumed his new rule, and he has come to bow down." Wolfes is worthy of being an old fox, and every sentence does not deviate from the will of heaven and public opinion, and he helps the metropolitan governor to build a memorial arch for the way of heaven as early as possible. In this slave society, without religion or the kind of foolishness, the results would be terrible. What the? You don't understand? Then your history class must have been forcibly occupied by the math, physics and chemistry teacher.
"Oh, good, good! These are all white and clean, and they must be delicious. Haha, it's delicious! The Governor laughed wildly as he patted the tall and huge four-headed wolfhound beside him. Xiaosha looked around vigilantly, two up and two down on all four heads, opened his mouth to reveal sharp teeth several inches long, and the saliva on the corners of his mouth dripped, and from time to time he jumped out and barked a few times in the heads of the kneeling crowd, which frightened several older and female friends in the first row and fainted immediately. They must now regret that they had worked so hard to squeeze into this front row as a sign of loyalty.
Even if they are rich and powerful, even if they are well-informed, even if they are both talented and beautiful, these old ladies have never seen this fierce beast devouring heaven and earth, and even those fierce and vicious sergeants behind them have never seen it.
In the past, only they called and drank to other people's share, where is the need to live so groveling and looking at people's faces? It's a pity, the times are different, feng shui takes turns, and now his life is in the hands of others, but he doesn't want to kill or chop, listen to it! These nobles and priests, who had long been accustomed to being above ten thousand people under one person, really couldn't accept it for a while, and many of them sobbed. Especially when he heard the city breaker shouting and feeding the dogs with the human flesh of his own people, the cry was even more shocking.
"Shut up! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! Toyotomi Hideyoshi shouted beside the Grand Governor. The sobs were a lot quieter.
"Listen to me! Not only Stephen Zhou, but he was loved by the city lords, and he also made some names in this Kuzsia, and sent the bandit to the governor. There are many offenses when I enter the city today, and I hope that all the villagers and fathers will forgive me and forgive me! With that, he arched his hand, which was kind of a greeting. Zhou Yu called them villagers and fathers with deep meaning, even if your family is rich, even if you are a high-ranking caste, but now Lao Tzu has the final say, holding you is the stars holding the moon, and falling you is shattering. Don't be shy every day and call yourself a nobleman and a priest, where are there so many good things?
"Shameless, butcher!" The Metropolitan Governor was walking forward on his own, and a palm-sized thing whirred from the flanks with the sound of the wind.
With a "brush", a Fang Tian painting halberd stabbed out from the oblique ground, and a stabbing belt pulled it away, eliminating the attack of the hidden weapon. This sudden scene of assassination frightened Zhou Yu's heart, don't say that Lao Tzu is really careless, I didn't expect that there was an assassin in this kneeling soft bone!
"Who dares to assassinate Bento?" The Metropolitan Governor took a step and tore off the hidden weapon from the halberd held by Lu Bu, which was actually, it was actually a women's boot with carvings.
"Can this thing crush me? Ha ha! The Governor held up the boots and looked towards the place where the scolding had come from. I saw that on the ground in the third row, the people who were kneeling in the stumbling stumble saw the plague god and squeezed left and right, and were stunned to vacate a two-meter square open space, for fear that they would have something to do with the girl who threw the boots and be misunderstood by the Metropolitan Governor. In the middle of the clearing squatted a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young girl, unkemptly dressed, neither with her hair coiled like those adult women who were married to other women, nor with her braids like the unmarried ladies of the world, but with her hair disheveled, with a straw stick in her mouth, she wiped her nose as if she didn't care, and looked at the Governor with great arrogance.
"Smash you bastard. If you can't be smashed, you will be smoked, sister, I haven't washed my feet for three days, how about it? The bold woman stood up and spat out the straw stick at the Governor with a puff of contempt.
"Yoh? Okay! A little timid! Zhou Yu looked at Tuda and Jay Lang beside him, and couldn't stop nodding, with a somewhat approving expression on his face.
"Wolfis, is this SEI? Don't tell me you don't know! Zhou Yu estimated that ordinary people would not stick to these people who were waiting for crimes, and they couldn't hide.
"Tell the Governor, I pray to the Grand Governor, that this woman is, is the daughter of Kwasang, the chief priest of the city of Stormcatcher. Three years ago, Kwassang passed away and became an orphan. Originally, originally, she was supposed to take over the position of Kwassang and serve as the chief high priest of the city of Storm Catcher. You, you have also seen that the other priests, elders, and nobles do not agree with her virtue! Vofes said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of the head of the cult. Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! The Governor smiled lewdly and shook his arms, and leaned over.
"What cult? You despicable and shameless one. As she spoke, the girl took off her other stinky boot and skimmed it without thinking. The Metropolitan Governor couldn't dodge, and Lu Bu's vision was blocked, and with a snap, the boot hit his nose impartially, and he was stunned.
Wow, this sudden attack hurt most of the governors jumping to their feet. Look at the woman again, standing on the stone steps with her bare feet, holding her stomach with her hands and laughing, she is about to break out.
"Look how I clean you up!" As he spoke, the Governor jumped over and grabbed the woman's skirt. I didn't know that the girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after spitting the face of the governor, she turned around and ran away.
"it!" Zhou Yu wiped his face and said to Bai Qi behind him, "You enter the palace first." Damn, I'm going to clean up this girl. No one is allowed to meddle! See if I don't shove my feet in her mouth today. "The Metropolitan Governor is really angry, I haven't come to get off the horse as soon as I entered the city, I was given a dismount by a chick first, where do you let my old face go? Yes?
"But..." Before Bai Qi finished speaking, Zhou Yu stepped onto Xiaosha with a whistle, and chased in the direction where the girl fled, where was the shadow of the Grand Du.
"General Bai, please!"
"Warfis Commander, please!"
The Metropolitan Governor temporarily left his post, and Bai Qi became the supreme administrator, acting as the Metropolitan Governor.
"General Bai, these people--" Wolfes lowered his head and glanced at the nobles and priests who knelt down.
"According to my meaning, it must be all buried, and no one will be left." Bai Qi stroked the tiger's whiskers, needless to say that his favorite thing is to kill in pits, and it is okay to pit Confucianism and pit the rich master, and some pits are fine.
Those who were trembling on their knees heard him say this, their eyes showing despair, and the ladies hugged each other and wept.
"Well, the Governor confessed earlier today - not guilty or killed. If they are guilty, they will be tried before they are executed. Therefore, according to the following opinion, it is not too late to be detained pending trial first, and then it is not too late to discuss it after it is found out but it is not a crime! Bai Qi gasped for breath, almost scared the outsiders to death.
The other side.
"Don't run, stop. You little girl! "The Metropolitan Governor rode after him on a small sand, and a barefoot girl ran wildly through the streets of Windcatcher City in front. The wind blew her blue hair in the air, curled or straight, scattered or curled, and the stone pavement that had been polished by pedestrians for hundreds of years left her little white feet, which bounced up and disappeared.
Xiaosha occupies an absolute speed advantage, but the disadvantage is that the size is too large, and it is okay on the straight road, every time she looks like she is about to catch up, the girl disappears from the corner of the street in a corner, and Xiaosha has to brake sharply to the speed of zero mile, and then turn the dog's head to start again and accelerate. In addition, the Metropolitan Governor is the first day to enter this wind-catching city, and he knows nothing except where the city gate is going, so if you let him chase a native windcatcher here, isn't it different from letting a blind man drive a car, let a deaf person play the piano, let a female secretary write a speech, and let a shampoo get a haircut?
"Xiaosha, let me down!" The Grand Governor leaned over and patted the giant dog on the back.
"Go back!" After speaking, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, stared at the blue hair he was wearing, and ran all the way to chase after him in an 800-meter stance.
The more the girl escaped, the more confident she became, what flat stone roads, small bridges and wooden pile roads, muddy and sand roads by the pool, and roof tile roads, she resisted and was overwhelmed. Most of the governors are not familiar with the road, and secondly, their physical strength is not as good as others. After running for a while, he stood still with his waist crossed, panting and yelling: "There is a kind of you, you, you don't run!" ”
"I didn't plant it, what is it?" The girl smiled mischievously and replied to him with a smile ten meters away from him.
As soon as he moved, the girl ran.
As soon as he stopped, the girl stopped.
Running and stopping, Zhou Yu finally forced her into a corner, behind which were towering city walls, and on both sides were military grain warehouses full of grain.
"Run, you're running? Put what you can. Zhou Yu gasped for more than 20 sips before he could barely catch his breath.
"Don't come here, I'll call someone if you come here!" The girl squeezed her collar tightly, looked behind her, and leaned against the corner.
"Haha, the alley here is deep and the walls are high, even if you shout out your throat, no one will come to save you!" Zhou Yu smiled lewdly and posted it.
"Really? I'll try! Ahh ”
"Ahh
"Ahh
Sure enough, the two looked up and down, but there was nothing but an echo.
"Hehe, this time I think you're telling Hanako to jump off a cliff - the end of the road! Today, Pontus will clean up your girl who doesn't know whether to live or die. As he spoke, Zhou Yu made a move of picking off the girl's clothes and jumped over.
"Smack!" A loud slap was given to the left side of his face, and it hurt so much that he was facing backwards.
"Y-How dare you?" Zhou Yu covered his left cheek and pointed at the girl.
"Smack!" A louder slap to the right side of his cheek was hotter and more painful, and it was clear that the girl had used all her strength.
"You, you... Zhou Yu looked at her in astonishment, he didn't remember the last time he was beaten, and he was slapped twice today.
"What are you? Stop talking nonsense! Someone is going to kill you! The girl moved the governor in front of her to the side, looked behind her, and said hurriedly after making sure that there was no tail.
"What? Kill me? I'll kill you first today! With that, he hurriedly unbuckled his sand and took the sword of atonement in his hand.
"Smack, smack!" The left and right started work, and the girl who took advantage of his sword to draw his sword slapped him twice.
"Come on, it's endless!" Zhou Yu was really angry, and the girl looked at the two fiery plateau reds on his cheeks, and snorted and laughed.
"It's better to be beaten than to be killed, right?" The girl said, leaning against the wall and slowly sliding down, sitting in the corner of the wall, picking up a straw stick and holding it in her mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was able to observe the little girl who slapped him four times, although she was dressed in tattered clothes, barefoot, and the skin on her body was rough and uneven, but her face hidden behind the withered grass was also well-behaved and heroic, if she shaved her hair short, she was afraid that it would be a sign of the young man. It's a pity that she is a daughter.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Yu didn't annoy her anymore, and sat down by the wall against her.
"Nonsense? Do you know who Wolfes is? ”
"Isn't it the military advisor of Wind Catcher City!"
"The military advisor is not fake. But for more than ten years, the big and small affairs of Storm Catching City have been decided by him, and the recklessness is nothing more than an ornament, just a substitute for the dead. Now, your presence is a good thing, giving him a chance to get rid of his recklessness. ”
"You're saying he's wanted to kill Bondage for a long time?"
"Exactly!"
"That's not unusual, didn't the reckless son harm his daughter and then flee to Slaughter Dream City?"
"That's what Wolfes told you?"
Zhou Yu told the girl about the incident of Wolfis coming to surrender that night. I don't know why, he always felt that this girl would not appear for no reason, attract his attention for no reason, and slap himself four times for no reason.
"You're so silly and cute! Wolfes has been ill since he was a child and has no children for life. How can there be a wife and daughter? With a poof, the girl spit out the grassroots.
"How do I know if he's impotence or premature ejaculation? Why did he make up this story to deceive me? The Grand Governor scratched his head in confusion, even if Wolfes had a purpose, he did a good job of fighting back as an internal agent.
"Wolfes never took recklessness seriously. It is also true that the recklessness is self-serving, arrogant and domineering, but his brain is not very bright, and he believes in this insidious and cunning man. Wofis doesn't use him as a marionette, and he's sorry for the difference in IQ between them! The girl tilted her head to the side, still with the same look of a child.
"Who the hell is going to kill me?"
"Do you need to say it? Whoever kills you will benefit the most! ”
Zhou Yu was suddenly startled and chrysanthemum tightened. , I was really careless, and I almost capsized in the gutter. If he didn't die, Wolfes would not be able to become the lord of the city. Now that he is dead, if he kills the leader of the rebels, eliminates the hidden danger of riots, and restores the normal order of Storm Catcher City, then the position of the city lord will not be captured? Looking back now, everything was too simple, and in the final analysis, it was too careless, and it almost caused a catastrophe. In a bureau, if there is a person who benefits from all the time and everywhere, then someone must die. This is simply an eternal truth.
In this way, he not only got rid of the fetters with the help of external forces, but also quietly killed the governor who was kept in the dark.
"But I wondered, how did he kill so many of us?"
"Poisoned. Do you have a poisoner under you? ”
"What is a poisoner?"
"A poisoner is a person whose mission is to make, use and test drugs, and belongs to a kind of priest!"
"That, that, to be honest, no!" Zhou Yu shrugged.
"Isn't that it? An excellent poison master can kill dozens of your generals with poison in an instant, and it is as easy as a finger. For example, the best poisoner in Windcatcher. ”
"Who?"
"Millennium-sama!"
"Damn, it's not good! My brothers! "The Governor of the Metropolitan was a spirit, bounced up like a cactus, and flew as if he had to run to the palace.
