The Castle Lord's Mansion of Arashiyama Castle.

The city lord Zhao Jinxin is a middle-aged man with a big belly and a meaty face, and the two mustaches under his nose are very similar to the two mustaches on the top of the God of Wealth.

In fact, Zhao Jinxin, who is now sitting on the Taishi chair, is a God of Wealth himself.

He used to be a wealthy man, but he felt that the position of city lord seemed to be faster than the merchant's money, so he gave up his identity as a merchant and used all means to sit in his current position.

At least you don't have to worry about any business operations in this position, and there is a steady stream of people delivering money to you every day, which can be described as a large income at zero cost.

The only trouble is that he sometimes has to manage all kinds of trivial matters in all directions of the city, and although he has the nimble and well-done military advisor Gongsun Peng beside him, there are some things that he has to do himself.

For example, Bai Yufeng, who is standing in front of him now, this young man who has run Yufeng Hall in less than a year is a * annoyance.

Zhao Jinxin struggled to maintain the majesty of the lord of his city, and he said, "Bai Yufeng, do you know that you have committed the great crime of cutting off your head?!"

Bai Yufeng smiled and said, "Lord Huicheng, the grass people only have one head, and this cut is gone, so the grass people don't want to cut it for the time being." ”

Zhao Jinxin's face was stunned, and Gongsun Peng, who was standing next to him, said angrily: "Boldly Diao Min, seeing that the city lord does not kneel and even speaks disrespectfully and perfunctory, the Qingling Pill you refined poisoned a full twenty-five human lives and two, these two crimes add up, even if you have ten heads, it is not enough to cut off." ”

Bai Yufeng's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Since I have already been condemned to death, what is the difference between kneeling and not kneeling and not perfunctory?"

Gongsun Peng just wanted to speak, but Zhao Jinxin suddenly said: "I think what he said is quite reasonable!"

Gongsun Peng and He Zhutou were all stunned, and their speechless expressions made Zhao Jinxin suddenly realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

He hurriedly said: "You poisoned twenty-five innocent lives, and now the evidence is conclusive, do you have anything to say?"

Bai Yufeng said, "City Lord, I want to ask you a question. ”

Gongsun Peng shouted angrily again: "When death is coming, you still dare to ask the city lord questions, I think you are ......"

Zhao Jinxin hurriedly said: "The prisoner also has the right to speak, see what he has to ask." ”

Seeing the strange conversation between Zhao Jinxin and Gongsun Peng, Bai Yufeng was very strange, the two of them should have spoken with Zhao Jinxin as the leader, but Gongsun Peng faintly had the meaning of overriding Zhao Jinxin, isn't this a big strange thing?

Gongsun Peng frowned, he looked at Bai Yufeng and said, "What do you have to ask?"

Bai Yufeng said: "Dare to ask the City Lord, what is the reputation of my Jade Wind Hall?"

Zhao Jinxin hurriedly said: "Naturally, it is famous in the four fields, and the elixir of Yufeng Hall has rescued hundreds of people inside and outside Lanshan City. ”

Bai Yufeng continued: "Then what reason do I have to destroy this well-developed Jade Wind Hall with my own hands?"

Zhao Jinxin shook his head and said, "There is no reason!"

Gongsun Peng said angrily: "What if you have saved people, you can't hide the fact that you killed people, you have no reason to kill them, but can you be sure that it is not because of your alchemy mistake that you refined those life-saving pills into deadly poisons?"

Bai Yufeng's face remained unchanged, and he said: "May I ask if you are the city lord or he is the city lord, I will talk to the city lord, and you will interject?"

Gongsun Peng's face froze, and he immediately became furious: "Presumptuous, I am the city lord who personally gave me the position of military advisor, and I should share the worries and solve problems for the city lord, you despise the court, ignore the dignity and humility, how to catch the head, and the rod will be punished by twenty strokes!"

Bai Yufeng sneered slightly and said, "Whether you want to solve problems for the city lord or have other plans, you know it yourself." ”

Gongsun Peng's body trembled: "You ......"

He suddenly looked at He Zhutou and said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, and you still don't do it?"

Hearing Gongsun Peng's order, He Zhutou was quite embarrassed, Bai Yufeng did seem to ignore them a little, but it was not enough to reach the level of direct cane punishment.

Besides, Yufeng Tang had saved his father's life, and Bai Yufeng had saved his life on the way, how could he use a rod to punish his life-saving benefactor?

Bai Yufeng suddenly looked at Zhao Jinxin and said, "City Lord, do you think I should be scolded by the cane?"

Zhao Jinxin almost subconsciously said: "You shouldn't ......"

But he regretted it when he said this, Gongsun Peng's momentum on the side became more and more fierce, Zhao Jinxin actually had a faint look of fear, and Bai Yufeng was even more sure that there was something wrong with these two people.

Bai Yufeng said with a smile: "The city lord said that the punishment of the rod is exempted, military advisor, you don't have any opinions!"

Gongsun Peng didn't speak, but the angry flames in his eyes almost burst out of his eyes.

From Bai Yufeng's opening to the present, they seem to have been led by the nose of the other party, but they can't do anything except endure it, and Gongsun Peng's stomach is really about to be suffocated.

But then, Gongsun Peng suddenly smiled strangely, and he said: "How can I have an opinion, I just want to uphold justice for the people of Lanshan City, and it is these poor people who have opinions." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Bai Yufeng, suddenly heard a noisy and noisy sound outside the mansion, and the sound came from far and near, and soon came to the outside of this hall of incorruptibility.

Looking up, there were hundreds of people outside rushing in with anger, sadness and tears, and some of the guards in the house couldn't stop the impact of these people at all.

"Ask the city lord to be the master of the grass people, there is such a man in the grass people's family, and now he was poisoned because he ate the Qingling Pill of Yufeng Hall, how will you let the grass people's family live in the future?"

I saw a ragged woman kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, her forehead slamming on the ground.

"Lord of the city, you know, there are only two daughters in the grass people's family, the eldest daughter has been in poor health, and now the little girl is one step ahead of us, how can you let the grass people live!"

The sound of kneeling on the ground exploded, and more than a hundred people crowded into the hall, instantly making it extremely crowded.

These people were obviously the families of the twenty-five dead people, and after they smashed these branches of the Jade Wind Hall, they really came to the City Lord's Mansion to seek justice.

Bai Yufeng doesn't blame them, who can face the death of their relatives calmly, besides, it is still this kind of accident, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the layout of this person in the dark is too meticulous and ruthless.

Gongsun Peng said lightly: "Bai Gongzi, do you see? Because of your poison pill, they have lost their relatives and friends, and some families have even lost their only labor force, so you don't need to explain anything to us, you just need to give these family members an explanation." ”

Gongsun Peng's words instantly focused all the contradictions between Bai Yufeng and these people.

Hearing Gongsun Peng say that the person standing in front of him was Bai Yufeng, the founder of Yufeng Hall, these kneeling people suddenly rushed up like crazy.

"Bai Yufeng, you have suffered a thousand cuts, you return my daughter!"

"Bai Yufeng, I killed you, it wasn't because of you, how could my wife die tragically for no reason. ”

"You brute, how can you do such a conscientious thing and return my son's life. ”

All of a sudden, hundreds of people poured in.

He Zhutou had already blocked behind Bai Yufeng, and the other headhunters and guards also formed a human wall to stop these angry people.

He Zhutou shouted: "There is no presumptuous above the public court, the city lord will give you justice, and now please be calm." ”

He Zhutou's words made the scene a little calmer, but this was only temporary.

Zhao Jinxin sighed and said, "Bai Gongzi, do you still have something to say?"

Bai Yufeng looked at these people and said: "Everyone, I understand your feelings, and I also feel extremely sad for the loss of your loved ones, although the death of your relatives was not caused by Yufeng Tang, but I still promise that because of all the losses caused by the death of your relatives, Yufeng Tang will compensate you in full." ”

He Zhutou's heart was shocked, including other catchers who also looked at Bai Yufeng in shock.

At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a big problem, these people are not related to Bai Yufeng, just like he said, why should he smash his own signboard.

But since you have defended that this matter has nothing to do with Yufeng Tang, why do you spend this unjust money again, you can't fit it with too much money?

Of course, Bai Yufeng doesn't like a lot of money, his only purpose in doing this is just to give these family members a psychological comfort, he has the ability, so what does it matter if he bears compensation?

The scene was silent for a while, but then a voice sounded: "If my son didn't die because of Yufengtang, why would you compensate us, I think you just want to use money to gag our mouths because of your weak heart, this matter is not so easy to calculate." ”

"That is, you should lose money, not only do you have to lose money, but you also have to pay for your life!"

"Ask the city lord to uphold justice, money is secondary, no matter how much money they have, they won't survive, and Yufeng Hall must not continue to operate, otherwise more innocent people will die because of this. ”

There was another commotion that made the court even more noisy.

But Bai Yufeng keenly captured the first person to take the lead in speaking, not only him, but He Zhutou's only remaining eye was brighter than anyone else.

It was a middle-aged woman with a black mole on her eyebrows, and when she saw Bai Yufeng's lightning-like gaze, she suddenly shrunk her neck, and did not continue to look at her, or she didn't dare to look at Bai Yufeng at all.

Bai Yufeng suddenly spoke: "City Lord, how about you give the grass people ten days, if I don't catch the murderer who poisoned them in ten days, I will voluntarily come to the City Lord's Mansion to lay down the law, in order to avoid anyone thinking that I will take the opportunity to escape, He Zhutou will help me solve the case in these ten days." ”

Everyone kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and most of them looked at He Zhutou, after all, he had an extraordinary position in the hearts of many people, and one of his promises was naturally as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He Zhutou smiled bitterly, Bai Yufeng had put all the burden on his head.

He just wanted to say something, but Gongsun Peng had already snorted coldly and took the lead in speaking: "The murderer is yourself, I see that you are clearly shouting at the thief to catch the thief and delay the time, come here, lock him up for me first." ”

There were indeed people outside, but it was not Gongsun Peng's people.

A girl dressed in white like snow and green silk like a waterfall came with lotus steps.

When she entered, the whole world seemed to turn into a sea of green, and she was the colorful flower in the center of the ocean!
