Chapter 20: The People of Fish and Meat

Chu Liuyan's ear power is very good, and he has already heard the words that these two people just said in his ears, so he raised his eyes and swept over, and found these two people.

Chu Liuyan knew in his heart that the old man of Fang Cai was very likely to be a great sage who was hidden in the city, and if he could have such insight into the world, he must not be an ordinary person.

And that young man doesn't seem to be weak, but he doesn't know whose son he is, so outstanding.

When Chu Liuyan's eyes swept over, he happened to be in the same place as the young man's eyes, and the young man's heart was shocked, and he already knew that the other party might have seen his martial arts cultivation.

The official finally understood, but when he understood, his hands had been cut up by the guards who had originally come with him, and the sweat on his head was dripping down one after another, and his mouth let out a howl like killing a pig from time to time.

The guards on the side were very helpless, but after all, Chu Junshi was one of the most important figures in the army, except for Wu Guogong and several important generals and strategists, Chu Liuyan's words were the highest order.

Chu Liuyan walked to the side of the official and asked him: "Now I want to ask you something, you have to explain it to me honestly, and you are absolutely not allowed to fabricate it." ”

The official hurriedly said: "Chu Junshi has something to say, just command, but Chu Junshi, you can make the guards lighter, the subordinate is a civil official, you see that the body and bones of the subordinate can not withstand their tossing." ”

Chu Liuyan looked at the sweat on this person's head, then nodded to the guard who was twisting Xu Yan's arm, and motioned to let this person go first.

The guard naturally understood Chu Liuyan's meaning, and he was very interested in following Chu Liuyan's meaning, and let go of the hand that Xu had twisted back.

As soon as the guard's hand was released, Xu Yan's body involuntarily rushed forward, barely stabilizing his footsteps, Xu Yan gasped for breath, then raised his head, panted and asked Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, if you have something to ask, the villain will never dare to fabricate anything, and he must tell Chu Junshi the truth." ”

Chu Liuyan stared at Xu Yan's eyes, and looked at it without blinking for a while, already knowing that this person's words were indeed credible.

Then Chu Liuyan asked: "Yesterday I came back from Wu Guogong's mansion, Wu Guogong did not talk to me about maintaining the market, can you guarantee that these things are all ordered by Wu Guogong to do you?" ”

As soon as the official heard Chu Liuyan ask, he shouted and said to Chu Liuyan: "Master Chu, this matter is that Wu Guogong called us this morning, let me and others do things carefully, and be sure to maintain the prosperity of the world, and also find out as soon as possible the person who may have been arranged by Chen Youliang, the head of the Han Dynasty in Yingtian City. ”

Hearing Xu Liuyan's arguments, not only Chu Liuyan felt that this was a little unexpected, but even the hearts of those onlookers were shocked, originally everyone thought that Chu Liuyan's method was to cure these guys who were used to being used to being ordinary foxes and fake tigers, but now it seems that this person is indeed having something important today, not as arrogant and domineering as usual.

When everyone heard Xu Yan's words, they were also shocked in their hearts, and they didn't know how today's matter would end, so they stared straight at the few people in the field with everyone's eyes.

The young merchant who bought the goods originally thought that he had a complaint, but he was actually humiliated by the officials, and he was naturally unwilling, but Chu Liuyan found some justice for him, and this person was also extremely happy in his heart. But now I heard that the official in front of him was not a fox and a fake tiger, but was really burdened with a heavy responsibility, and it was personally ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

Thinking like this, the young merchant was naturally a little uneasy in his heart, his face became more and more pale, and his body trembled a little. After all, the other party was personally arranged by Wu Guogong, and he didn't know that the adult who had already taken a bad breath for himself could withstand it.

The young merchant held his breath and looked at Chu Liuyan with innocent eyes for help.

As soon as Chu Liuyan's eyes came into contact with the young merchant Fang, he was already moved by the sorrow in this person's eyes, so he said categorically to this person: "I have this matter in my eyes, please rest assured, you will be safe." Even if you fight with Wu Guogong, I will ensure that you get out safely and will not be affected in any way. ”

With Chu Liuyan's promise, the young merchant's face was slightly soothed, not as pale as Fang Cai, and there was a trace of blood.

The surrounding onlookers and neighbors, seeing Chu Liuyan say these categorical words, their hearts are full of respect, born in troubled times, the court is tyrannical, the original people saw the officials are all avoided, and later Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Yingtian City, but also used many officials, although in terms of situation, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a son who loves the people, much better than the Tartar Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

But there are still dark places under the lamp, not to mention the huge Yingtian City, even if Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong bows to everything, there are places that he can't pay attention to, or because of his limited energy, he can't illuminate these dark places.

Many of the official gentry of the Yuan Dynasty who were later activated were still fish and meat people, although they were not as powerful as before, but they were in a budding state, and they would also take people's lives from time to time.

Naturally, for these things, Wu Guogong, who is high up, can't see it, even if he wants to pursue it, he can't pursue it.

But no matter what these things are, the people still have to live, even if the corrupt officials are sometimes excessive, as long as they can survive for a long time, most of the people are still willing to swallow their anger and survive, after all, there is still hope for survival.

It's just that this kind of thing of swallowing up is done too much, which naturally fuels the minds of those officials and the people, and in addition to taking advantage of it, sometimes there will inevitably be more serious things, such as disregarding people's lives.

Only when there is a major murder case can it reach Wu Guogong's side, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful, there is no way to illuminate every dark corner of Yingtian City one by one.

And those corrupt officials and slippery officials can control the profits of these places, the people at most dare not speak out, and they really hope that there are honest ministers like Bao Longtu, the Qingtian lord of the Song Dynasty, who can come to them and find out all the favoritism and fraud in it.

After listening to Chu Liuyan's words, the onlookers already knew that Chu Liuyan was very likely to help the young merchant carry this matter, and they were extremely respectful in their hearts, so they came out one after another, wanting to defend the young merchant.

Seeing that the onlookers around him began to speak for the young merchant, Chu Liuyan also understood the thoughts in everyone's hearts, these people were originally afraid to move forward, and they refused to speak for the young merchant because they had scruples in their hearts. But there's no way around it.

Chu Liuyan knew that for these people, as long as they could not be implicated, they were willing to come out and speak for the young merchant.

The right talent Chu Liuyan ordered someone to tie up the officials, just to create an opportunity for those neighbors who were willing to come out to help the young merchants.

This trick really worked, Chu Liuyan thought to himself.

After Chu Liuyan listened to the arguments of the onlookers for a while, Chu Liuyan said to the officials: "I didn't want to act like this, but even if Wu Guogong wants you to arrest Hanyang's spies among the ministers, you can't act like this. ”

As soon as he heard Chu Liuyan say this, the official Xu was also extremely frightened, and naturally understood in his heart that if Wu Guogong personally intervened in this matter, Wu Guogong would know what he was doing, and I was afraid that his head would really have to move.
