Danzhou,

Compared with the prosperous Fengzhou, Danzhou as a whole is much worse, and it can even be described as a world of difference.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road, and on both sides of the dilapidated official road, the trees were bare, and there was no grass around.

The yellow sand blows, and the crows hover in the sky, making a piercing and unpleasant call.

On the yellow sandy ground, countless ragged corpses were poured, and wild dogs gnawed on the corpses.

On both sides of the official road, there were scrawny hungry people, their eyes reflecting a patch of green, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the people who passed by.

It was as if the next moment, they would rush up and rob all their money.

Shen Du frowned slightly.

What's going on in Danzhou?

It stands to reason that Danzhou is not a border state and should never be so depressed.

He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the DPRK and China, and it was not the responsibility of the six gates in this regard.

Liang Ying was keenly aware of Shen Du's expression on the side, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "My lord, our people have sent a letter saying that there has been a drought in Danzhou, and it has not rained for a long time. ”

"It's not just Danzhou, it's the same situation in Lingzhou next door."

As early as before, many of the Six Doors had dispersed first, scouting for information in various places.

Shen Du frowned and asked, "Isn't there no disaster relief in the official government?" ”

Shaking his head, he whispered, "It's helped, but ......"

There is no need for Liang Ying to say the latter words, Shen Du also understands.

"Let's go!"

"Speed up your trip!"

The crowd quickly left the official road, but when they passed by the foot of a mountain, they were stopped by a group of people.

In the mountains and forests, a large number of people broke down, and there were nearly 1,000 people.

It's just that these people are all armed with rudimentary weapons, some of them are still holding farm tools, all of them are wearing shabby clothes, their faces are yellow and thin, and they are almost skinny, obviously not real bandits, but more like homeless people.

"Stop!"

"Leave money and food!"

A man with a fairly strong body stepped forward, holding a large worn knife.

Shen Du glanced at everyone, threw out a hundred taels of silver, and said calmly: "Get out of the way." ”

These people looked like disaster victims, and he didn't want to worry about them.

Looking at the hundred taels of silver thrown away, Zhao Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Du, his face changed slightly.

"Dare to ask, but Gyeonggi Chief Arrest, Lord Shen?"

Shen Du raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the man more, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I looked closely, I found that this person had thick bones and thick tiger fingers, and he was obviously a martial arts practitioner.

His bearing is also extremely good, which is in stark contrast to the surrounding victims.

Zhao Pengcheng took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Catch your head in Xialin City, Zhao Pengcheng." ”

Shen Du was slightly stunned.

A county catches the head and takes people to rob here?

As if seeing Shen Du's doubts, Zhao Pengcheng laughed at himself and said helplessly: "If there is food, who would want to make such a living." ”

He had long heard from the people in the rivers and lakes in the past, saying that the general arrest of Shen Du in Gyeonggi would come to Danzhou.

This group of people is extraordinary, and there is a carriage, so it should be Shen Du, so he had the courage to ask.

Zhao Pengcheng waved his hand, motioned for everyone to disperse, and then handed over the silver, shook his head and said, "Lord Shen, this silver can't be accepted." ”

"Before, it was the subordinate who had no eyes and offended the adult, and asked the adult to atone for his sins."

Although they robbed, they only robbed some caravans, rich people in the rivers and lakes, and only robbed money, and did not harm people's lives.

Shen Du didn't reach out to take the silver, but asked, "Where did the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court go?" ”

Zhao Pengcheng laughed at himself and said with hatred: "It's not that I was swallowed by the top." ”

"Pity the people of Lincheng, 5,800 new graves have been added in just one month."

Zhao Pengcheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Lord Shen, you are a figure in the capital. ”

"The lower official begs you to try the grievances of the people of Danzhou for me, and to present this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Now it is not only my Lincheng that has been affected by the disaster, but also the entire six counties of Danzhou are all struggling with people."

In an instant, the people behind Zhao Pengcheng fell to their knees with Qi Qi.

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "Get up, say it in another place." ”

Zhao Pengcheng nodded, turned around and gave instructions to the people behind him, and then everyone dispersed one after another, and jumped into the mountains and forests again.

Shen Duyi and his entourage followed Zhao Pengcheng to Lincheng County.

The entire county government is extremely deserted, and there are hardly many people to be seen.

After Shen Du settled Xiong Jingqing, the princess of Western Chu, he summoned Zhao Pengcheng.

Zhao Pengcheng walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.

"Meet Lord Shen!"

Shen Du looked around and asked, "Why don't you see the county order here?" ”

A trace of gloom appeared on Zhao Pengcheng's face, and he said in a low voice: "Hungry." ”

"Lord Song is so bent on the disaster that he distributes his rations to the people, and by the time we find him, it will be too late."

Shen Du's index finger lightly clasped the blade, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely dull for a while.

This was the first time he had heard the prefectural order to starve to death.

A county order, no matter how serious the famine is, will never starve to death.

It's ironic!

Shen Du said in a deep voice: "I see that you are successful in martial arts, it shouldn't be an ordinary catcher, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Pengcheng nodded and said, "Xiaguan once apprenticed to Longhu Mountain, and he was a disciple of the outer sect. ”

"Later, I realized that it was difficult to advance in martial arts, so I went down the mountain and returned to this Lincheng County, because I had a lifetime of martial arts, I was promoted by Lord Song and served as the head catcher of Lincheng."

Zhao Pengcheng sighed lightly and said, "I also went to the state capital to complain, but unfortunately I couldn't even enter the gate of the state government." ”

Shen Du's hand moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You write a complaint." ”

"This official will bring it back to Beijing."

Hearing this, Zhao Pengcheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The 200,000 people of Lincheng on behalf of the lower officials thank Lord Shen for his great kindness." ”

Shen Du shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. ”

Even if there was no such thing, he would have to look for evidence, which saved him a lot of trouble now.

It's just that he has a hunch that I'm afraid his trip won't go too well.

The situation here, if he returns to Beijing once he returns, the imperial court will definitely know.

No matter what, the officials here probably won't let themselves leave unharmed.

It's just that he didn't plan to say these words to Zhao Pengcheng.

Night

Shen Du sat cross-legged in the room, silently adjusting his breath.

The battle of Jinghong Villa made him gain a lot.

"Ascension!"

[Genshin Realm Sevenfold! 】

[Kill Point - 8 Million]

Suddenly, the true qi in the body was like a torrent that broke the embankment, converging at the dantian, forming a whirlpool.

Qi and blood seemed to be ignited in an instant, and the bones of the whole body exploded.

The power of the primordial gods quietly dispersed, and everything around him was extremely clear in his mind.

Even the mosquitoes that flutter at night become extremely clear.

At this moment, in his eyes, the surrounding world seemed to have a new change, and in the void, there were faintly countless lines intertwined, colorful.

This is a change perceived by the power of the primordial spirit, a change that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

It seems that there is only one weight behind, but the change in strength brought is earth-shaking.

The power of heaven and earth gathered around him, and the illusory shadow behind him gradually condensed, and his eyes opened and closed, emitting a ray of fierce light, which disappeared in a flash.

"Bang!"

Shen Du exhaled a breath, like a frightening wave, exploding in the air, and the air was whistling.

Shen Du showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In this chaotic world, only strength is fundamental.

……

Danzhou Mansion,

Danzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Shen held the letter in his hand, looked at Danzhou Sima Chen Quan on the side, and asked, "Then where did Shen Du go?" ”

Under normal circumstances, the history of the Yizhou Assassin and Sima have always been at odds with each other, which is also the way of differentiation and balance of the imperial court.

But Dan is clearly an exception.

"Lin Cheng!"

Zhang Shen clenched the letter in his hand, a trace of murderous intent flowed out of his eyes, and said coldly: "He doesn't go to so many places, but he wants to come to my Danzhou, and he has to be nosy, since he is looking for death by himself, then don't blame the official." ”

If the news of this place comes back to the capital, all of them will die.

Zhang Shen looked at Chen Quan and said in a deep voice: "Sima Chen, it's up to you next." ”

"There must be no accident in this matter, if he is allowed to leave alive, you and I will die."

"Don't worry." Chen Quan sneered: "I promise to let him come and go." ”

"What Gyeonggi is always arrested, it won't be long before it will be a corpse."

Chen Quan got up and said, "I'll go down and prepare." ”

……

After resting for a day in Lincheng County, Shen Duyi and his entourage set off again.

Two days later, everyone has already walked most of the distance, and there is only one day left before leaving Danzhou.

Outside Yangcheng County, Jiuyi Mountain.

As soon as Shen Du set foot here, he felt a strong aura of slaughter.

That killing intent condensed but did not dissipate, which shows how many people here have murderous intentions towards him.

However, Shen Du didn't seem to have discovered it, and rode straight forward.

The cold wind is raging!

The robes fluttered in the strong wind, and the hunt rattled.

There was silence all around, only the sound of the horse's hooves as Shen Du rode forward.

The killing intent in the sky condensed but did not disperse, and a dark cloud slowly gathered in the sky, as if there was a feeling of black clouds pressing.

"Come out!"

Shen Du sneered and said lightly: "In such a dense mountain forest, there is not even a single bird, your disguise is too stupid." ”

The words fell, and the sound of footsteps and weapons colliding suddenly came.

Dense warriors poured out of the surrounding mountains and forests, all dressed as Jianghu people, with a large number of people, including thousands of people, and surrounded Shen Du.

That killing intent almost condensed into substance, slowly pressing towards Shen Du.

Looking at the crowd gathered, the corners of Shen Du's mouth raised slightly, and he laughed and said, "The scene is so big, you really can afford to look up to me Shen Du." ”

The current one was an old man who looked quite imposing.

This person is the elder of the Xunfeng Sword Sect, and he came here this time to take revenge.

"Shen Du!"

"You should know why we are here."

"You killed my Xunfeng Sword Sect master, slaughtered me and other righteous ways in the rivers and lakes, do you really think that no one in my rivers and lakes dares to kill you?"

"Today this is the place where your bones are buried."

"We must seek justice for our fellow teachers and elders."

The people present now, in addition to the Xunfeng Sword Sect, there are also people from various factions in Funiu Mountain, all of whom are relatives of several disciples of the Yuan Shen Realm who were killed by Shen Du in Jinghong Villa.

In addition, there are many people who are unhappy.

"Shen Du!"

"Were the Five Heroes of Jiangdong killed by you?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked loudly.

They are all friends of the Jiangdong Five Heroes, when the Jiangdong Five Heroes went to rob and kill Shen Du, now Shen Du is safe and sound, but the Five Heroes have disappeared for a long time.

Looking at the few people standing in front, Shen Du said lightly: "What are you doing with so much nonsense, it's just that they can't figure it out, it's completely their own fault." ”

"But the official is a little curious, who is it that gave you fools the courage to come here to rob and kill the official."

The icy voice resounded through the mountains and forests.

The faces of the crowd were ugly.

"Shen Du, you don't want to be rampant!"

"Even if you stick your wings today, you won't be able to escape, but if you are willing to abandon your martial arts, maybe you can still be spared."

Shen Du shook his head, his eyes sneered, and he sneered unceremoniously: "Just you waste? ”

The moment the words fell, a trace of cold killing intent flashed in Shen Du's eyes, and the demonic qi around him roared.

Since some people are in a hurry to find death, then he doesn't mind fulfilling them!
