When Jiang Xiaoshu heard this, he couldn't help but say:

"The two governments can make the three Hunan chaotic, and the three officials will teach the four rivers to dry up...... The words are sharp, who made this sentence? Zhou Zide patted his chest:

"It's just down there." Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but be surprised:

"Master Zhou is in officialdom, what is also true?" Zhou Zide's face was full of indignation:

"Hmph, it is a shame for me to be in the officialdom with this group of pigs and dogs, I only hate that I am powerless and unable to punish this group of thieves, watching them prey on the people and run rampant in the township, but they can only make a few words of innocence to ridicule, which only increases the laughing stock...... Jiang Xiaoshu hurriedly asked:

"Lord Zhou is the prefect of Wuling County, the official residence is five grades, how noble he is in Xiangzhou, and he has a weak heart, but where to start?" Zhou Zide sighed:

"Gongzi Jiang, after we heard about your deeds, we in Wuling County were all overjoyed and spontaneously came to greet you, but do you know why?" Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head:

"It's not a secret, Xiaoshu is also very puzzled by this question - it's just to destroy a group of Jiangyue gang thieves in Zhijiang and negotiate peace with the Jiangyue Gang, where is it worth the people of Wuling County to be so excited? Moreover, if what Lord Zhou said before was true, the group of thieves who separated Brother Dulong from Wuling County actually fled after hearing that I was coming...... All kinds of measures are really unpredictable. Zhou Zide asked rhetorically:

"Jiang Gongzi, how much do you know about Brother Dulong?" Jiang Xiaoshu frowned and said:

"He is one of the four red belts of the Jiangyue Gang, and he is doing the extortion and robbery of the entire Xiangzhou waterway, and he is still the biggest person, over the years, I don't know how many women and children have been abducted and sold by him......

"Yes," Zhou Zide got up and walked to the window, looked down the window, there was nothing in the dark night, and couldn't help asking:

"What does Lord Zhou want me to see?" Zhou Zide said:

"Just ten days ago, from this drumming and blowing sheng building, until the range you can see, are under the control of Brother Dulong, every night, when they start work, countless carts loaded with women and children gallop openly on the road, are transported to the Yuanjiang wharf in batches, and finally are sent to all parts of the country, and even farther to foreign lands...... Every time at this time, the family will close the door, and they don't even dare to make a sound......" Speaking of this, Zhou Zide couldn't help but lower his head:

"In fact, even if there is a sound, it will not be heard at all - whenever Brother Dulong starts work, those who are abducted will always let out a scream of sky-shaking prices, coupled with the brutal beating of the Jiangyue gang and the thieves, half of Wuling County is not peaceful, it is like hell on earth, those who are abducted toss and turn, and may travel thousands of miles, but this short few miles in the city of Wuling County is the place where their mortality rate is the highest. Brother Dulong is brutal and cruel, occasionally because of a bad mood, he will uncontrollably carry out brutal beatings and massacres on the abducted people, even if that group of people is as quiet as sheep, it is difficult to escape the poisonous hands, life and death are only in the thought of Brother Dulong......" Jiang Xiaoshu was furious when he heard it:

"This beast is so rampant! Doesn't anyone care, are the officials in Wuling County all ...... rice" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking - the biggest official in Wuling County, isn't it Zhou Zide in front of him?

Zhou Zide waved his hand:

"Jiang Gongzi's lesson is that even a three-year-old child knows these things, how can I, a parent official, not know about it? But, but ...... Jiang Gongzi, please take a look. After that, he unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his chest, Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it - on Zhou Zide's thin chest, there was a huge wound that dragged from the left pipa bone to the right waist, the wound was hideous and twisted, straight like a centipede, very terrifying, but I don't know where such a tragic wound came from for a scholar and cultural official like Zhou Zide?

Zhou Zide sighed:

"This starts from five years ago...... "Five years ago, Zhou Zide took office, returned to his hometown, walked into the government with great ambition, looked at the hall and yamen that were several times larger than before, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, he looked there

The plaque of "Mirror Hanging" secretly swears - Zhou Zide, you must be conscientious, love the people like a son, not to mention doing any earth-shattering causes, at least in the past few years in office, you must not let the people be wronged, and let injustices happen in your jurisdiction...... Just when he was imagining a better future, the master of the government came:

"Master, you took office on your first day, but you don't know what your plans are?"

"Plan?" Zhou Zide couldn't help but be stunned:

"Diligent and thrifty, conscientious and conscientious, where else does the plan come from?"

"Ouch, master, what you said is not very appropriate," the master quickly lowered his voice, looked around, and then whispered:

"Whether you are diligent and thrifty, conscientious or conscientious, these are secondary, I heard that your accent is our Xiangzhou people, and you have been an official for more than ten years, why do you forget even the most important things? Come on, the little one will whisper to you......" Zhou Zide pushed the master who was close to him, and said:

"What's the matter, say it generously, don't say that this is the back garden of the government, absolutely no one eavesdrops, even in the public, what is there to see? Want to whisper in your ear? The master was helpless, so he had to say with a bitter face:

"My lord, if you don't worship the mountain, how can this official continue?" Zhou Zide laughed angrily:

"Huh! Worship the mountain? Didn't you drink too much to entertain your own officer? I am the prefect of Wuling County appointed by the Great Qin Officials, and behind it is the entire Great Qin Imperial Court. It's not a bandit who falls into the grass, whose mountain am I going to worship? Who deserves to let a court official worship the mountain? This was said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and the master naturally had no way to refute it, so he gave up his hand helplessly:

"Master, you want to be this kind of official, the villain has nothing to say, I wish you a good ...... do it yourself" After that, the master said goodbye and left, and when he walked out of the door, he looked back at his eyes and sighed.

Zhou Zide didn't understand what this master meant, and he only felt that this old scholar with a sophisticated face wanted to be greedy for a few taels of silver, so he deliberately said something to be alarmist.

Zhou Zide did not have a wife and a small family, so he simply lived directly in an empty room in the government office, so that he could handle government affairs as quickly as possible every day, but on the night of his appointment, Zhou Zide heard the screams that resounded through half the city.

Zhou Zide was shocked, jumped out of bed violently, and was horrified in his heart:

"In the middle of the night, it's so noisy, is it going to the water?" Hurriedly getting dressed, Zhou Zide ran to the door of the mansion.

"Bangbang Bangbang ......" A hurried knock sounded, and the old gatekeeper said impatiently:

"A short-lived plague! Running in the middle of the night to report your mother's case? Go back, don't make a noise about the old man to rest, come back at dawn......" Zhou Zide heard the old official one by one

"Master, I", he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said in a deep voice:

"Open the door, it's me, Zhou Zide."

"Ah, Zhou, Zhou...... Lord Zhou? There was a faint commotion in the room, and then there was a creaking, and a crack was opened, and the old man poked his head out:

"Master, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what is this going to do?" At this time, the half of the city on the other side of the dock was still noisy, screaming and beating were endless, but the old janitor was not surprised at all, and Zhou Zide couldn't help but start to doubt himself - could it be that I had just taken office, and I was not accustomed to the water and soil, so that I hallucinated?

He said to the old officer:

"You didn't hear the sound outside?"

"Voices from outside?" The old official was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"Ha, it's like this every day, I'm used to it, and I'll calm down when it's almost dawn." Zhou Zide frowned and said:

"Every day? What is this sound? Why is it so unbearable, and the screams of women and children, and the shouts of men, and the sound of whips and carts? The old official smiled:

"Naturally...... No, sir, you don't know? Zhou Zide was a little annoyed:

"If I knew, I would have asked you?" The old official's eyes widened:

"Master, when you arrived at the mansion today, didn't Master Tang take you to the pier?" Heard again

"Worship the dock", Zhou Zide couldn't help but be suspicious, he followed the old official's words and said:

"Whose dock is it by?" When the old man heard this, he immediately raised his hand and closed the door with a bang, and a voice came from inside the door:

"Master, I'm sorry for you, go back to sleep, the villain still wants to live a few more days, I don't dare to tell you......" Seeing an old janitor, he locked himself out of the door, Zhou Zide was angry and kicked on the door:

"You're the opposite!" But that door is very hard, Zhou Zide is a literati, where can he kick it open? Hearing that the commotion outside the mansion was still continuing, and the old guard ignored him, Zhou Zide couldn't help but feel a little weak, he held his head, squatted down, and muttered:

"What's going on? Am I not the prefect? How could it be ......" But the frustration didn't last long, Zhou Zide thought about it, and then stood up again, he walked to the old janitor, and said in a loud voice:

"As an official of Wuling County, you are responsible for guarding the gate of the mansion, and I asked you today, but you avoided talking about it and disobeyed the officials, what is your intention?" There was silence in the room, and there was no reply.

Zhou Zide raised his voice again:

"Chen Cai! I'll cut you tomorrow! Relegated to commoners! According to what you and Master Tang said, the local snakes in Wuling County may not be afraid of me, but if I want to clean up your little tasteless official, I don't believe that they will come to make trouble with me for you......"

"Squeak-" The door opened another crack, and the old official Chen Cai showed one eye to look out, but saw the soles of Lord Zhou's shoes.

"Bang!" Zhou Zide has been building momentum for this kick for a long time, and kicked open the door of the doorman's hut with a bang, Chen Cai was hit vigorously, and fell to the ground with a bang, Zhou Zide walked into the room, lit the candle, but was startled by the scene in front of him - in the simple hut of the little official, three or four zhang square, there was nothing but a bed, and at this time, there were two naked girls lying on the bed, and the two girls were tied up and hung up, gagged, and there were a lot of whip marks and wax on their bodies.

Zhou Zide's mind was blank, and when he turned his head again, he saw the old official Chen Cai lying on the ground, also naked, covering his crotch and humming constantly.

Zhou Zide looked at the scene in front of him, and it took him a while to react - the doorman on duty on the night shift actually did that kind of thing in this class, and the two girls in front of him were full of tears, and their bodies were also bruised and purple, which shows the perversion in the heart of this seemingly honest old official...... Zhou Zide reached into his arms and took out a short knife, which was a wild wolf noble short knife given to him by a friend who was a military general before setting off from the capital, the handle of the knife was carved from a whole piece of cow bone, which is said to ward off evil spirits, and he took it with him as a souvenir, and he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

So late at night, this Chen Cai was suddenly bumped into such an unsightly thing by himself, if the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, he had no guard...... Zhou Zide pointed a dagger at the old official Chen Cai, and said sharply:

"Don't move!" Who knew that Chen Cai didn't dare to resist at all, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy:

"Master, what are you doing here?" Zhou Zide asked:

"Where did these two girls come from?" Chen Cai had a bitter face:

"They sent it to me, how do I know?" Zhou Zide's face sank:

"People?" Chen Cai pointed outward:

"Didn't you just ask where this voice came from? This is exactly what the Jiang Yue Gang is transporting fish. Zhou Zide patted the bed board:

"Transporting fish! Fart you, who doesn't move during the day and comes to transport fish in the middle of the night? And where did the fish transport come from such a big movement? What is the Jiang Yue Gang? Chen Cai couldn't laugh or cry:

"Master, Master, didn't Master Tang tell you anything? This fish is their black language, that is, the old and weak women and children abducted by the Jiangyue Gang from all over Xiangzhou. As for this Jiangyue Gang, it is the largest gang in the entire Xiangzhou, and Brother Dulong from Wuling County is the number one celebrity in front of the gang leader, responsible for trafficking and waterway activities......"

"What!" Zhou Zide shouted:

"You mean, it's so noisy out there now, it's a kidnapping business! Fart your way! Chen Cai shook his head again and again:

"How dare I lie to you, master, this Jiangyue has been helping to transport fish for many years, in Wuling County, even three-year-old dolls know it, you can ......know it as soon as you ask" Zhou Zide's heart jumped suddenly, and then immediately turned his head and cut the rope that bound the two girls, the two girls fell on the bed, Zhou Zide pulled the musty quilt and covered them, and then took out the hemp core in their mouths:

"Is he telling the truth?" But the two girls were abducted by the Jiang Yue Gang before, and along the way, they had seen many scenes where the abducted people were beaten or even tortured because they made a little noise, and they were tortured by Chen Caiyi before.

Zhou Zide was anxious, took out the official seal in his arms, lit it with an oil lamp, and said loudly:

"I am Zhou Zide, the newly appointed prefect of Wuling County, a member of the five grades of the imperial court, if you are abducted, I can immediately administer justice for you." Two girls, one of them still shook his head, while the other looked at Zhou Zide's righteous and awe-inspiring face, and then looked at the shining official seal, and whispered:

"Governor, prefect? Is it a big official? Zhou Zide immediately said:

"It's very big, the entire Wuling County, I have the final say." When the girl heard this, she burst into tears:

"Lord Qingtian, please, please administer justice for me...... it turns out that this girl is from the countryside of Linyi County, Xiangnan, when she was working this day, an old woman came to the side of the road, begging her to help herself to the carriage behind the mountain, the girl was kind-hearted, so she helped the old woman to go, who knew that she went to the back of the mountain, but there was no carriage at all, the girl looked around, turned around and just wanted to ask the old woman if she had gone wrong, but was covered in the face by a handkerchief...... When she woke up, she was tied up and crammed into a boat with a group of people, and she just wanted to ask what was going on, but she said it

The word "this" was hit hard by a strong man in the back, and the back of her head was dizzy, and she fell to the ground with a bang.

In the haze, she saw the strong man's face full of anger:

"Still talking! Don't ...... to die," but then the strong man seemed to realize something, and immediately shut his mouth, but it was too late, and a fierce man rushed in from outside the cabin, and scolded:

"Dare to speak up! Don't die! The strong man was dragged out, and the girl never saw the strong man again.

She thought she was dreaming, but the foul, foul air in the cabin reminded her not to have illusions.

Later, she was transported many times, sometimes in a cart, sometimes tied on foot, sometimes in the cabin, and so on.

The only thing that is the same is that the escorts are all very vicious and perverted, beating, starving, and verbally abusing along the way...... I don't know how many times the girl has experienced it, but the most experienced is the never-ending violation...... Until tonight, she was sent to Wuling County, and another girl was ordered, cleaned, and hoisted into a large bamboo basket through a large gate.

Chen Cai took them ecstatically, then took out a key and threw it back into the bamboo basket, and began to loosen his clothes before he even had time to put out the light...... When Zhou Zide heard this, he was furious, and slapped the table with a shocking sound, he pointed at Chen Cai with a dagger, and said in a trembling voice:

"You're done! You, you're done! I will never spare you......" Chen Cai knelt down and begged for mercy, but Zhou Zide turned a deaf ear, he picked up Chen Cai's clothes and threw them to the two girls, asking them to go out and wait first, and then grabbed the rope, tied Chen Cai tightly, and sat in front of the door alone, waiting for dawn.

When the sky was bright, the noise in the city gradually weakened, and at this time a large bamboo basket was thrown over, Zhou Zide took a closer look, and sure enough, it contained the key to the gate of the palace, he took the key, and then said loudly:

"The dog thieves of the Jiang Yue Gang! Listen, I'm Zhou Zide, the prefect of Wuling County, you abduct and sell people, the evidence is conclusive, I will liquidate you thieves immediately! The person outside the door was silent for a long time, and then suddenly chuckled:

"Ha, patronizing Brother Chen Cai, I forgot the prefect, and I will make up for it next time." Zhou Zide was furious and shouted:

"You're a big! You give me ...... Uhh The person outside the door pulled suddenly, and the big bamboo basket suddenly rose, and happened to hit Zhou Zide's chin, Zhou Zide was caught off guard, and fell to the sky, and the big bamboo basket was taken away, only to hear the person outside the door sneering, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually went away.

Zhou Zide endured the pain, took the key to open the door, the door of the mansion was opened with a creak, Zhou Zide staggered out, and was suddenly startled, only to see that there were blood stains everywhere on the long main street.

At the end of the long street, a man in a strong suit rode a tall horse, turned his head in the direction of the mansion, and impatiently ordered:

"Bad guy, come out and wash the floor." The man walked away, Zhou Zide looked at the bloodstained street, and for the first time felt that the rising sun could be so cold on his body.
