Chapter 123: The Wrath of the People

The next day, Huo Dong personally took Huo Yong to the City Shoufu and brought a lot of treasures. On the surface, he was saying that he was going to make amends for Huo Meng, but in fact, he was here to investigate the reality of the city guard.

Ye Yuechen can now be regarded as the holder of many records in Beihai City, he went to Huo Mansion for a banquet and was deliberately late, making trouble in Huo Mansion alone and seriously injuring many people, and let Huo Mansion visit him three times in a week, and today Huo Dong came in person. These deeds cannot be said to be unprecedented, but they are unprecedented.

Ye Yuechen was also very smart, knowing that Huo Dong was coming, he deliberately withdrew all the defenders outside the city guard's mansion, pretending to be defenseless at all.

"My lord, the old man is here to make amends to you today, a little courtesy, please be sure to accept it. Huo Dong smiled, but there was no trace of sincerity in his smile.

Ye Yuechen also smiled and said, "Master Huo is polite, I said before, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." But since you are so polite, if I don't accept it, I won't give you face. Ha ha. ”

Wang Tianhao unceremoniously carried all the things Huo Dong brought into the inner mansion, and specially thanked him. Huo Dong responded with a smile, but his heart was dripping blood, and he secretly scolded Ye Yuechen's face was really thicker than the city wall.

Yan'er and Murong Xue also walked from the room to the outer mansion at this time, and the two directly ignored Huo Dong's existence and walked straight to Ye Yuechen. After Murong Xue experienced yesterday's incident, she decided that she would never leave the qin in the future, and she would hold Jiao Weiqin in her hand no matter where she was.

Huo Dong was very embarrassed, and it was not interesting to stay any longer, so he said with interest, "My lord, since the two girls are fine, the old man will not bother, and he will leave." ”

Ye Yuechen pretended to be reluctant and said, "Master Huo, don't be in a hurry to leave, we haven't had a good chat yet." ”

"No, there's something going on in the house, I'll visit you next time. He turned around and left the city guard mansion with Huo Yong.

"Hmph, you're still here to give gifts? Murong Xue said angrily.

"Who can't see it, but there's nothing wrong with these treasures, don't be in vain. Ye Yuechen pointed to the two boxes of jewelry and smiled.

"Yan'er, Xiaoxue, we've been in Beihai City for a while, and I'll take you out to have fun today. "During this time, because of the influence of the East Turkistan and Huofu affairs, Ye Yuechen, the new city guard, has not really done anything for Beihai City, and even most of the people don't know what the city guard looks like. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, since he had decided to be a good official who benefited the people and punished and eliminated evil, he should make an example. So I decided to go outside and see for myself.

"Great. Yan'er and Murong Xue cheered.

The three of them walked on the streets of Beihai City for the first time, Wei Hong naturally became a tour guide, and Wang Tianhao stayed in the city guard mansion because he was not interested.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Ye Yuechen's heart suddenly cooled. The situation in Beihai City was even worse than he imagined, although the area was not small, but compared to the prosperous Suzaku City, it was like a small village.

In fact, the environment of Beihai City is very good, because it is close to the sea, the temperature is very comfortable, and the breeze is mixed with the smell of seawater, which makes people feel refreshed. But now in broad daylight, there are few people to be seen on the streets. There are only a few small shops on the side of the road, and there are still a few boys and girls gathered on the side.

Wei Hong explained that this was all due to Baihuo Mansion. Before, Huo Meng was rampant and domineering on the street, and when he saw good things, he took them for himself, and even insulted women in public, but the defenders didn't dare to care. Over time, few people left the house, and many moved out of the area, reducing the number of people from millions to about one million today. It also ruined the reputation of the defenders, and the people thought that they were colluding with the people of Huofu, and seeing the defenders was like seeing a plague god, and they avoided it from afar.

"Why don't the rest of the people leave? As long as Huo Mansion still exists for a day, they won't have a good time. Ye Yuechen asked.

Wei Hong sighed and said, "Hey, who doesn't want to go, but most of the people in Beihai City make a living from fishing, and this is their home, where can they go if they leave here?" ”

Ye Yuechen looked at Wei Hong's expression and deeply realized his helplessness. As the general of the defending army, not only could he not solve problems for the people, but he also had to be with the people of Huo Mansion under the previous orders of the city guard. For a few years, nothing was gained except a bad reputation. This kind of misunderstood taste is really uncomfortable, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, but they can't manage it at all.

Ye Yuechen looked at the sparse crowd on the side of the road, his heart was very uncomfortable, their eyes showed despair, helplessness, and hatred, this was originally their home, but it was taken away by Huo Fu.

Gradually, the group walked to a relatively open area, where there were quite a few people.

"My lord, this is the most prosperous place in the city, called Yuechao Square, which was originally a place for people to gather at the end of the year to have fun and drink and talk, but now it is ......" Wei Hong shook his head as he introduced.

Compared to the rest of the city, it is much better, not only passers-by, but also many more shops, and on the surface, it looks peaceful.

Ye Yuechen and others were walking in the crowd, and suddenly with a "bang", a cabbage flew to Wei Hong's head, and then someone said, "It's him, as a person in the official mansion, and he is also in the same stream as the Huo family, causing us to fall to this point, everyone beat him to death." ”

As soon as the words fell, countless cabbages and salted fish came towards Wei Hong, but he didn't dodge at all, just stood stupidly. Ye Yuechen hurriedly pulled the second daughter behind him, and he also got vegetable leaves everywhere on his body.

At this time, with a "snap", Wei Hong's head was hit by a stone, and blood dripped down his forehead. Ye Yuechen saw that all the cabbages in the hands of the people had been replaced with stones, which was enough to see how strong the hatred was in their hearts.

"General Wei, you're bleeding, let's hide. Murong Xue covered her mouth and whispered.

Wei Hong smiled and said calmly, "I won't hide, if I can make all the people in Beihai City feel better if I get a little injured, then they will kill me, and I will be willing." ”

Looking at Wei Hong's appearance, Yan'er couldn't help crying, but the stones in the sky still fell on him mercilessly.

"Enough!" Ye Yuechen finally couldn't help it and yelled loudly.

"Who is he?......"

"Who knows, it's certainly not a good person. The people looked at Ye Yuechen and talked one after another.

"Folks, I am the new city guard of Beihai City, and I have only been in office for a few days, my name is Ye Yuechen. ”

"What? He's a castle guard?"

"Looks like it's still a kid......"

"Listen to me, I know how you feel, but these things are not the fault of the defenders of the city, they are just ordered by the previous ones. There are some things they don't want to do, Beihai City has become like this, you know best who the culprit is, so I hope you don't treat General Wei like this again. Ye Yuechen tried his best to appease the people's emotions.

"Just what is the use of us knowing, you officials will only bully the weak and fear the hard, enrich your own pockets, and never care about our life or death. One of them shouted angrily.

"It's that no one cares whether we're doing well or badly......"

"That's right, there is no good thing in the official......"

The scene, which had just quieted down, was chaotic again.
