Chapter 61: Great Lack of Great Virtue

Above the attic of the mansion, Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the six burning mansions in the city, and looked at Yan Feng with some doubts: "Didn't I ask you to burn three, why did you burn six?" ”

Yan Feng pulled the head-catching official uniform on his body and said, "When the new official took office, I also set three fires for myself to show respect for the rules of officialdom. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured, these six families are all inferior gentry who lend money and steal the people's land, and I also let Ao Xue and Feng Xiao empty the grain in their granary in advance!"

Zhang Xiu was happy when he heard this, and said: "You learn very quickly, if you study and learn so fast, it may only take a hundred years for you to be admitted to Xiucai." ”

Yan Feng's good mood disappeared in an instant, he looked at Zhang Xiu depressedly, and asked, "The fire has been released, what should we do next?" ”

Zhang Xiu took out a few contracts that they signed and pledged, and said: "Of course I went to ask for the account, although they have no food, I am also very sympathetic to the kind-hearted." But they have signed the pledge, and not a single grain of grain is missing! ”

"I've always been the most reasonable, if they can't get food, the fields and real estate can be offset, even if they have nothing to do and sell their butts, they have to pay me back!"

Looking at Zhang Xiu with a fierce expression, Yan Feng was speechless for a long time.

Today he can be regarded as opening his eyes, compared to Zhang Xiu, the methods of Jin Wuwang and others are nothing at all, when it comes to stealing, the person in front of him is ...... It is truly invincible!!

Following.

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, a group of officials rushed into the homes of the six richest people in Jinhua Mansion and begged for food with the contract they signed yesterday.

The six people who could not get food, all the industries in the city were seized by the government, and overnight they went from being rich and envied by everyone to beggars living on the streets.

It was only at this time that Jin Wuwang, who had scattered all his wealth and was barely caught by Yan Feng to sell his ass, found that he was calculated by Zhang Xiu, and glanced at the direction of the government with a resentful face, and in the pointing of the people along the way, he lowered his head and walked towards the Baiyun Temple outside the city.

After a long time, he was covered in sweat, physically and mentally exhausted, and came to the Baiyun Temple, and walked into the main hall with the support of a breath of resentment.

In front of the statue of Sanqing, there was a kind old Dao, hearing the footsteps, the old Dao showed a smile, and said without looking back: "It turns out that the gold donor has arrived, didn't you just send the sesame oil money two days ago, why did you come to give alms again today." ”

Jin Wuwang looked at the back of Lao Dao, and said with a hideous face: "Daoist Kong Fang, I am not here to add sesame oil money today, Jin was calculated by the new prefect Zhang Xiu, and his family property was lost, and now he is in trouble." ”

Kong Fangdao was slightly stunned, slowly got up, turned around and glanced at Jin Wuwang, and said in surprise: "This is impossible, the fate I told you is that you are rich and noble in your life, how can you lose all your family property?" ”

Jin Wuwang said with a resentful face: "But that's the case, Dao Chief, you want to avenge me!" ”

"Daoist Kong Fang, the matter of the flood, God knows that you know and I know, anyway, I have nothing now, if you don't help me kill that Zhang Xiu, maybe I will poke this thing out!"

Kong Fangdao showed a smile and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the flood is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with the old Dao." If the golden donor wants to open his mouth again, the poor road will turn his face and deny people......"

Before the words landed, Kong Fangdao's face flipped over, and a black gas came out, followed by a huge centipede ten zhang long, and swallowed Jin Wuwang's head into his mouth when he opened his mouth, leaving a headless corpse on the ground and twitching twice, and soon there was no movement.

Swallowing Jin Hopeless's head, Kong Fangdao recovered his body, licked the blood on his lips, and recited a sin: "Alas, why did Poor Dao eat people again, what a sin, a sin......"

At the same time, the money and grain looted from the six richest people were piled up in the government office, and Zhang Xiu estimated it, feeling that it was enough for more than 100,000 victims to survive until this year's autumn harvest, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he found the accounts of the six richest people and assigned them the task of sorting out and recording the money and food distributed every day.

The treatment of the victims and the reconstruction after the disaster were all carried out in an orderly manner.

After a few days of busy work, Zhang Xiu sat on the soft collapse of the mansion and drank wolfberry tea, sighed at the account book in front of him, and said: "There are still too few talents who can be used, if you catch all the teachings in the academy, you can save me a lot of trouble." ”

At this time, Yan Feng, who was in charge of public security, walked in energetically and said with a smile: "Even if you arrest them, can you afford to give them their money, I remember that their previous official positions were not low, right?" ”

Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still need to give money, catch it and use it first, and wait until the end of the year, just find a deep mountain and old forest to release them all." ”

Yan Feng: "......"

If you send this word back to the college, the students will surely shed tears of relief and will always be grateful for your great lack of virtue.

After a moment of confusion, Yan Feng said, "What did you call me to do, are you going to catch the ruffians who are taking advantage of the flood to do evil everywhere?" ”

Zhang Xiu picked up an account book and said: "This is the account book of Jin Hopeless, after I read the account book, I found that as early as two or three months before the flood, he had been buying and hoarding grain, as if he had known that the flood would come and wanted to make a lot of money." ”

"My intuition tells me that there must be something wrong here, you go and arrest Jin Wuhope, I want to ask him clearly."

Yan Feng gasped: "You mean, this flood may be man-made?" This is unlikely, Jin Wuwang is an ordinary mortal, how can he have the ability to manipulate the river? ”

"So I've got to arrest him and ask him about it......"

Zhang Xiu nodded silently, got out of bed and moved his stiff body, walked out of the door with Yan Feng, and said: "If it is really man-made, there must be his accomplices who have not been caught, let such a dangerous person be left outside, and I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

The two walked on the street, Zhang Xiu looked at the people whose faces were gradually regaining their vitality, and suddenly noticed an old man with a yellow charm, walking on the road with an anxious face, almost crashing into himself.

Zhang Xiu grabbed the old man and asked, "Uncle, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

The old man said impatiently: "Oh, this is the spirit talisman of the immortal master, you let it go, I want to take it back quickly to save my life!" ”

"Talismans?"

Zhang Xiu frowned, gestured to Yan Feng, and the two of them silently followed behind the old man and came to a shack built by the government.

In the shack, seven or eight people gathered around a child, whose face was pale and beads of sweat the size of beans were on his head.

The old man lit the yellow talisman, put the ashes into a bowl filled with water, and had the child lifted up and poured the talisman water into him.

Immediately after, the child wowed, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black water, gradually regained his senses, looked at the crowd around him, found the old man, and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Uncle Wang, I'm much better......"

The old man grinned, put the child back on the bed, and said with a smile: "Count your kid fortune and fate, if you don't get the placement fee from the Qingtian Lord for a few days, we won't have enough money to buy spirit runes!" ”

Zhang Xiu looked at the black water on the ground and said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, what did they buy a spirit rune?" ”

Yan Feng's eyes flicked his fingers, and a tiny centipede bounced out of the black water, rolled in the air, and fell to the ground.

"I don't know, but this kid isn't sick at all, it's clear that it's a demon!"
