Chapter Forty-Three: The Untimely Village Chief
After all, the people around him are just ordinary people, although they are extremely angry with this Pang Qingjian, but many people are still afraid of this devil and dare not come forward to fight on such an occasion. They saw that this Pang Qingjian had killed two people in a row and seriously injured one, and everyone knew that arguing with him now would only cost their lives in vain, so many people still chose angry silence, and only a few people were still shouting and scolding behind the crowd.
"We're not here to watch this scumbag do evil, let's go home!"
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted such a sentence, and after hearing this, everyone seemed to have found a way to fight this demon, and everyone responded.
"Yes, yes, let's all go home, and let the beast do his own thing, and we won't look at him. ”
"Yes, let's go, let's all go. ”
"Nobody wants to see this scumbag, let's all go home. ”
"Let's go!"
......
Boom, thousands of people around scattered around, no one turned back, everyone obviously thought that this was the best way to confront Pang Qingjian now, but in a moment, there was no one walking in this small square, only the group of soldiers stupidly held their guns, standing here facing the empty square, facing Pang Qingjian.
There was an occasional wisp of wind blowing through the bleak square, and the breath blowing was desolate.
The iron blue fat face twitched uncontrollably, Pang Qingjian stood there, facing the empty square, he was so angry that he almost went crazy, but it was impossible for him to arrest thousands of people back?
"Kill!"
Pang Qingjian himself carried a knife and rushed towards the three bound prisoners like a beast......
I, my father and Brother Rundong also walked out of the square angrily with the crowd around us, I don't want to see the head killer anymore, it's really disgusting, damn, it makes people panic, I wanted to see the excitement, but I didn't expect to see such a suffocating thing, I was really angry!
Brother Rundong was so angry that his face was also pale, I knew that Brother Rundong scolded that Pang Qingjian very fiercely just now, but in the face of the eight-star fighter, and the other party still held the power of the army, everyone knew that at that time, no matter how uncomfortable it was, everyone could only choose to be silent.
When everyone had already walked out of the small square, the people around couldn't suppress their anger anymore, and everyone scolded loudly again, yes, don't vomit or be unhappy, at this moment the surrounding people came out of the small square, and everyone was scolding each other. In fact, ordinary people are quite pitiful, and in the face of power and evil, more often they can only rely on scolding to relieve their anger.
Brother Rundong couldn't help but be angry, he believed that these people around him would feel the same way as him, and the people in the town would know more about this Pang Qingjian, so he asked an older man next to him loudly, and said, "Uncle, this Pang Qingjian is so indiscriminate in killing innocents and careless of people's lives, doesn't anyone care about him?"
Hearing this, the people around him shook their heads helplessly, and the uncle seemed to have some taboos, he just sighed and said: "A nest of snakes and rats, a nest of snakes and rats!"
After hearing this topic, someone next to him was also in a bad mood, shaking his head and talking about it.
"Hey, since the Eight Empires took down our Kyoto, our country has fallen even further. ”
"No, we cut land and lost money, and the losses were staggering. ”
"What's even more terrifying is that after the land is ceded and the compensation is paid, the money will come out of our people, and those corrupt officials have a reason to extort money from the people, step up extortion, and it has become a matter of course, which can make our people suffer. ”
"Yes, and our Shenghua Empire has been defeated repeatedly, the imperial power has lost its prestige, and now no one in the local officials listens to the emperor, and everyone is doing their own thing. ”
"Now all localities have their own troops, and no one pays attention to the imperial court, and they have become lawless. ”
"As long as the local government has military power in its hands, it dares to dominate one side, and where is there national law? Whoever has military power is the boss. ”
"Those who have military power have become the emperor of the soil, but it is we, the common people, who have suffered. ”
"That is, it is either impossible to let this Pang Qingjian do such evil!"
"Hey, the empire is getting messed up!"
"We're getting harder. ”
......
This is the first time we have heard these news, these news has not yet reached our village, dare to love that the coalition forces of the eight empires have captured our Kyoto, and also lost money, it seems that this Shenghua Empire has really declined to the extreme, no wonder the world is so chaotic now.
This kind of chaos is also very easy to understand, the Shenghua Empire loses money to others, the money comes out of the people, the people everywhere must be dissatisfied, and the conflicts between the people and the army will continue, so that the imperial court is busy dealing with rebellions everywhere, and it will inevitably let the military power fall, and those who hold the military power will have greater power, and people like Pang Qingjian who engage in personal fraud will use the power in their hands to wantonly kill those who are against him, and this army will become his private army, and even he will use the power in his hands to satisfy his personal desires!
It's chaos on top of chaos!
Brother Rundong's brows tightened, and he was silent, and after a long time, he muttered as if he were talking to himself: "Is our Shenghua Empire really hopeless? Those officials are really hateful, they are incapable of fighting with the armies of other empires, but they are so cruel to mutilate their own compatriots, they actually deliberately abolished the cultivation of that talented young man, and talented young people are brutalized by these people like this, if this continues, where will the Shenghua Empire have a chance to turn over?"
On the one hand, I am only five years old, so I am not suitable to answer this question, on the other hand, I think that Brother Rundong's tone of worrying about the country and the people is a bit high, and I can't suddenly raise my consciousness to that level, and it really doesn't fit his tone.
In fact, I was also angry when I saw what Pang Qingjian did, but I was angry and only wanted to kill that guy, but if I was asked to link these contents with the fate of the country, I felt a little powerless, maybe, this is related to my identity as a traverser, I feel that my consciousness is a little far away from the atmosphere of this era, for the current situation of the Shenghua Empire, I just feel that he is really declining, but when it comes to saving him, I really haven't thought about this, so I just listen to it, I still have time to think about my cultivation, worrying about the country and the people is a little too far away from me, wait for the futureIn the future, I will have a deeper affection for this land, and maybe I will understand what Brother Rundong is thinking now.
Now I have no relationship with the Shenghua Empire, so in my heart I prefer to turn this page quickly.
At noon, I finally ate the long-awaited pie in the town, I ate my two pies cleanly, Brother Rundong and Dad only ate one, and the rest of the Dad said to bring it back to Mom, I was stunned and agreed.
I'm young, that's a reason.
After that, the three of them walked early in the direction of the village.
There was no carriage on the way back, so we had to walk all the way back, so we set off early.
On the road, we can still hear passers-by still talking about what happened in the town today, it seems that the impact of this incident is really too bad, almost everyone is talking about this matter, and when they talk about it, their expressions are full of righteous indignation, and even more are shouting to kill Pang Qingjian, the dog official.
"These people are just talking behind their backs, relieving their anger, why didn't anyone dare to say that in the small square at that time?" I thought disdainfully in my heart, and I didn't go to my heart, my thoughts still seem to be very different from the people around me, and it's okay to make me angry, but when it comes to really fighting with the eight-star fighter, I don't have that ability, and I believe that the people around me don't either.
There were fewer and fewer people on the road, and after 40 miles, there were only three of us left on the road, and we were just halfway home, which showed how remote our village was.
The mood is not smooth, the road seems to be long, my father and Brother Rundong rarely speak, and I am silent, but what I am thinking about is Pang Qingjian's cultivation method, and the "Golden Beast Demon" and "Lotus Seal Formula" he uses are obviously excellent works, which are very eye-catching.
We walked silently until the moon was about to come out, and we returned to the village.
I can finally take a break, and it's the first time I've walked this far, and I'm really overwhelmed.
But when we arrived in the village, we found that it was not peaceful either, and many villagers gathered in front of our house, not knowing what they were doing, and it seemed that there were still people arguing inside.
"Village Chief, you can't take away our animal skin! This year is a disaster year, and we still expect to exchange it for some money to spend the day! If you take it, what will we eat and wear in the future?" This is my mother's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the annoying voice of the village chief came: "Daughter-in-law of the Ling family, you can't blame me, now the above has to collect military salaries from various villages, and each village has a task, I know that all families are in difficulty now, but I have no choice, I must collect some money from wealthy families." ”
"Wealthy family, when do you think my family became rich?"
"Didn't Ling Qiang beat a deer the year before last? Your family is not poor. ”
"The deer has already eaten it, didn't your family eat a deer leg?"
"The venison is gone, isn't it still antlers and deerskins?"
......
Hearing this, my dad also understood what was going on, he was an ordinary hunter, simple-hearted, but would think about the village chief in case of trouble, he squeezed into the crowd, persuaded my mother and said: "Forget it, just give the tanuki skin to the village chief, this year's disaster year, everyone is not easy." ”
My mother was so angry that she gave my father a fierce look, and she had to let go of her grip on the hide.
The village chief got the skin, smiled awkwardly at my father and said: "Thank you, Brother Ling Qiang, I can't help it, this is the task assigned to the villages by the above, and I have no choice but to do this, okay, I'll go to Peng's blacksmith's house again, his family also has some spare money." ”
Saying that, the village chief walked to Peng's blacksmith's house again, in fact, the position of village chief is a fat job for a rich village, but for a poor village in a chaotic era, the position of village chief is also very hard, and it is also hated
