Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 274 The Slum

There are not many people in the square in front of the gate of the imperial city, because Jian'an City stipulates that vendors are not allowed to set up stalls in this square, so the huge square is also inaccessible.

Zhang Haomin sat bored on the stone and waited, taking a look at the surrounding environment by the way.

"Hey, these guys are really productive. ”

Whether it was the gate of the imperial city that was destroyed by him, or the fight between the free and fallen immortals, at this time, there was no trace left in this square.

All the corners and corners have been repaired as if nothing had happened.

But how long has it been? It's only been a day, and at this rate of repair, I'm afraid it won't take long to build a skyscraper.

Zhang Haomin sat in this square and waited left and right, waiting for a long time, Chen Kaiyu, the kid, still did not appear, he couldn't help but be quite depressed in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"Why hasn't this kid come yet? Could it be that he turned around and went to visit the kiln. ”

When Zhang Haomin was secretly depressed, Chen Kaiyu didn't wait, but waited for an acquaintance, the national teacher Huang Liang.

This Huang Liang originally had important things to do, but when he heard Liu Changfeng say that Zhang Haomin was sitting outside the gate of the imperial city at this time, he couldn't help but feel quite nervous in his heart, so he had to let Liu Changfeng take care of it for him for a while.

Immediately, he hurried over, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Zhang Haomin sitting on the stone.

"Lord Zhang, this sun is so vicious, why are you sitting here alone?"

"Yo, how can I meet you every day, is it possible that you, the national teacher, are very idle on weekdays?"

"You don't know, since I became this Da'an national teacher, I haven't had a day idle, if it weren't for you, I am afraid I wouldn't have been able to take this opportunity to rest and rest. ”

Unconsciously, Huang Liang, a great national teacher, turned out to be the link between the imperial court and Zhang Haomin.

Everything about Zhang Haomin, Emperor Tianzhu didn't have to think about it, he directly sent someone to inform him to act, this was the case last night, and it was the same today.

But Huang Liang is very happy about this, after all, it is much better to face Zhang Haomin than to deal with those troublesome things.

Especially last night, the meal he had in Juxianju was the most relaxed he had in recent years, not only drank a lot of wine, but even took advantage of it to pour out a lot of bitter water.

You don't need to care about any rules at all, and you don't need to worry about anything, just be happy and relaxed.

As for Emperor Tianzhu, if he wanted to ask, he had already thought of countermeasures, so he directly pushed them all on Zhang Haomin's head, saying that Zhang Haomin forced him to drink, and he had to leave him to eat together.

If Zhang Haomin knew his reason, he would definitely scold Huang Liang's face for being so big.

"What can you do as a national teacher on weekdays, is it possible that you still cast spells every day to pray for good weather in Da'an?"

"Well, this wind and rain is not something that can be asked for just by asking, you can ask for it once a year at the ceremony. ”

"Then you are not pious enough, no wonder God will not meet your request. ”

Being said by Zhang Haomin, Huang Liang's face couldn't help but flash a trace of grievance, every time he prayed at the ceremony, he was quite pious, and after a whole set of processes, it was quite tiring.

And this prayer is just a ritual, and I have never heard of anyone praying for it to work.

The sky is still the same day, the earth is still the same land, the rain will not be reduced at all, and the arid area will not be less than one acre and one cent, everything has its own number of days, and it can be changed if you can't ask for it.

"You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. ”

Seeing Huang Liang's deflated appearance, Zhang Haomin couldn't help laughing, casually pointed to the stone sitting under his buttocks, and said.

"Hey, you're wrong, I'm not standing, see, I'm sitting, sir. ”

"Then you have to be careful, you will have back pain if you sit for a long time. ”

The two couldn't help but smile when they looked at each other, after what happened last night, the relationship between the two eased a lot, and Huang Liang dared to laugh with Zhang Haomin.

As for Zhang Haomin, he didn't have much resistance to Huang Liang, and even thought this guy was good.

"Since this prayer is only once a year, what are you busy with on weekdays?"

"It's hard to put into words. ”

As soon as these things were mentioned, Huang Liang's heart couldn't help but sigh.

All of this had to start with the discovery that Fei Zongsheng had dealings with the puppet demons, and the Heavenly Emperor asked him to keep an eye on everything about Fei Zongsheng, after all, he was one of the few holy realms in Jian'an City.

As a result, who would have thought that he would have been staring at this for more than a year, and the situation became more and more serious.

Since the appearance of the Blood Moon last year, the activities of the Golems and Fallen Immortals have become more and more frequent, and the work he needs has become more and more important, so that for a while he was too busy to rest.

It was precisely because of this that the Emperor of Heaven ordered the guards to obey Huang Liang's dispatch for the time being, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's hard to say? Then you might as well stop saying it. ”

"Uh. ”

Zhang Haomin's words suddenly choked Huang Liang enough, he had already organized the language, and it was on his lips.

In fact, I don't want Zhang Haomin to do this, it's really that last night's performance of Huangliang was too impressive, he originally thought that the drunken Xiong Gongye was particularly able to nag, but he didn't expect another Huangliang to pop up.

If it weren't for Xiong Gongye who happened to be sitting between the two of them at that time, Zhang Haomin would definitely not be able to bear it.

Even Xiong Miyano, who is drunk and chatters with extraordinary combat power, sometimes he will not be very irritable by Huang Liang's chatter, and he is so angry that he sits there speechless for a long time.

"By the way, do you know that there is a Holy Realm in the Litai Pavilion?"

"You mean that Liu for four years?"

Liu Si is so famous in Jian'an City, how could Huang Liang not have heard of it.

So when Zhang Haomin mentioned Litai Pavilion, he instantly thought of Liu Si Si who was in it, it was a rather tricky big trouble, could it be that he provoked Zhang Haomin?

Thinking of this, Huang Liang's heart snickered, if this is really the case, it is really good news.

After all, he knows Zhang Haomin's strength, Ma Ying is also in the Holy Realm, and he will end up dead, so if Liu Si angers Zhang Haomin, he can take this opportunity to get rid of him.

"Yes, how much do you know about that willow four years?"

Zhang Haomin still has a good impression of Da'an, whether it is the customs here or the language used, there is a feeling of hometown from the inside out, which makes him very useful.

What's more, he is still a disciple of Shenghua Sect, and Shenghua Sect is in Da'an, so he naturally belongs to Da'an.

No matter what the reason, he didn't want Da'an to become turbulent, if Luoguo really wanted to fight Da'an, then he could only be sorry for Chen Kaiyu, because he would stand on Da'an's side.

"Did he provoke you? Could it be that someone offered to hire him to deal with you?"

Huang Liang knew Liu's work for four years, and if anyone could bid ten greens, he could help kill one person.

If Zhang Haomin is provoked because of this, then Liu Sisi may be dead at this time, after all, Zhang Haomin is standing in front of him unharmed.

As for the person who made the bid behind him, Huang Liang thought about it in his heart, and his heart couldn't help but be half cold all of a sudden.

With the reconciliation of Jiannan Xianzun, the matter of Xiaoyao has also turned into a jade silk, and the imperial court will not hire Liu Si Si to kill Zhang Haomin, after all, they all know Zhang Haomin's horror.

In this case, there are only two possibilities.

One is that some people are obstructing it, trying to provoke the contradiction between Emperor Tianzhu and Zhang Haomin again, so as to make chaos in Da'an and take the opportunity to profit from it.

As for this other one, I'm afraid it has something to do with last night's incident, maybe this person is the fourth prince.

Thinking of these four princes, Huang Liang's face couldn't help but be very happy, the slaps last night were really enjoyable, and even made him feel unfinished.

And, as he expected at the time, the four princes really turned around and joined him.

However, after Emperor Tianzhu understood the cause and effect of this matter, not only did he not say that he was not, but even turned his head and punished the four princes for being grounded for three days and copying three hundred pentras.

You must know that the Emperor of Heaven has not punished all the princes for some years.

However, last night, when the holy decree went down, it directly hit the four princes who were in full swing, and it really played a good role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

So much so that early this morning, there were several well-informed courtiers who went directly to the National Teacher's Mansion.

"What are you laughing at? Could it be that you're happy to hear that someone is coming against me?"

"How dare you, Lord Wang, you misunderstood, the reason why I am so happy is that I suddenly thought of the four princes last night, so my hand was a little itchy. ”

"Oh, you heard that kid hired Liu to deal with us for four years?"

As soon as he heard Zhang Haomin's words, Huang Liang didn't know whether he should be happy or not for a while.

Of course, he was very dissatisfied with the four princes, so that he still had a feeling of great happiness at this time, but if this matter was really done by the four princes, it would be really a bit tricky.

If Zhang Haomin wants to kill the four princes to vent his anger, what should he do?

"I haven't heard of this, but last night His Majesty learned that the four princes offended you, and specially punished him heavily, and now he is still working hard in the mansion, so can you. ”

"Don't worry, I don't have the time to deal with that kid yet. ”

"That's it, what a noble person the prince is, how can he worry about a junior. ”

Huang Liang hurriedly laughed flatteringly, as long as Zhang Haomin didn't go to trouble the four princes, then he would be relaxed.

As for the matter of these four princes hiring people to deal with Zhang Haomin, he will definitely report in front of Emperor Tianzhu after he goes back, and I am afraid that the future of these four princes will be worried.

was so boasted by Huang Liang, Zhang Haomin laughed very much.

However, he won't really let go of the four princes, if that's the case, wouldn't there be less trouble in the future?

As for what kind of method he would use to deal with the four princes, he had already made a plan, after all, he was still waiting to give the head of Juxian Juju as a big gift to Nan Li.

"You have to show me the head of Juxianju, otherwise, I will really have to go to trouble that kid. ”

"Don't worry, my apprentices will take a good look at him. ”

Zhang Haomin was about to turn his head, but suddenly felt as if he hadn't said something.

But he couldn't remember what it was, and he had no impression at all, so he had to ask.

"Hey, where did you first say that?"

"You mean the fourth year of the willow of the Litai Pavilion?"

"Oh, it's that Liu for four years, do you know anything about him?"

Huang Liang thought about it in his heart for a while, after all, the matter of Liu for four years was still explained to him by the previous national teacher when he left office, and now after all these years, he has almost forgotten it.

So, he couldn't help but say to Zhang Haomin with some embarrassment.

"It's been a long time, I don't remember much, but Your Majesty knows him very well, why don't I ask Your Majesty now, and then I'll give you an answer?"

"There's no need to be so troublesome, since the Heavenly Emperor knows it very well, it's fine. ”

Seeing that Zhang Haomin seemed to know something, Huang Liang's heart couldn't help but be a little hesitant, could it be that Zhang Haomin found out what was wrong with Liu Sinian?

If that's the case, then he'd better ask, in case it really doesn't take them by surprise.

"But it's been too long, maybe Your Majesty has forgotten about it, or you might as well tell me. ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that Liu Si is from Luoguo, and I'm worried that he is a spy of Luoguo, so I want to give you a reminder. ”

When Zhang Haomin said this, Huang Liang really remembered something, but he said to Zhang Haomin thoughtfully.

"He's not a spy in Luoguo, of course, even if he's really a spy, there's nothing to worry about. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Listening to the meaning of Huang Liang's words, it seems that they have long known the identity of Liu Sisi.

But since they all already knew that this Liu Si was from Luoguo, why could they still let him stay in Jian'an City? Wouldn't this lead to a fire?

"I don't remember very clearly, but this Liu Si seems to be very at odds with Emperor Shun of Luoguo at this time, so he would stay in Da'an, otherwise he would have gone back a long time ago. ”

"Discord?"

Zhang Haomin didn't think of this, so after hearing Huang Liang's words, he couldn't help but think deeply.

If Liu Sisi really had a discord with that Emperor Shun, then what Chen Kaiyu said before would be easy to explain, if Chen Kaiyu was not called emperor, how could he dare to return to Luoguo?

But there are still a lot of suspicious things in this, and maybe this so-called discord is all an illusion.

"That's right, when Emperor Tianyou of Luoguo launched a war against Da'an, at the critical moment of Da'an's life and death, the current Emperor Shun surrounded the palace and forced Emperor Tianyou to abdicate. ”

"In that case, isn't this Emperor Shun kind to Da'an?"

"Phew, at the beginning, under the rule of Emperor Tianyou, although the war against Da'an even almost caused Da'an to be destroyed, whether it was the prisoners of war who were defeated in Da'an, or the innocent people, they were treated extremely kindly. ”

Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be puzzled, the history book he read was not recorded like this, at that time, the war between Luoguo and Da'an caused heavy casualties to the people of Da'an, and it could even be said that the corpses were everywhere.

However, Huangliang's statement overturned it all, and Luo did not massacre them on a large scale.

However, Huang Liang's words were not finished, only listening to his words, his eyes revealed a fierce light, and he continued.

But when Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne, he not only ordered the killing of all Da'an prisoners of war, but even demanded that the army massacre civilians, and he was the culprit for all this. ”

The more Huang Liang spoke, the more angry he felt, so much so that he gritted his teeth between his words, and he wanted to kill that Emperor Shun.

For the blood feud of the year, every Da'an person always remembers it, and how dare they forget that compatriot who stained the territory under his feet with blood?

But Luo Guo is too strong, even if they win the support of Sheng Guo, they are still not Luo Guo's opponent.

Otherwise, how could they live in peace with Luo Guo now? He would have already gone west to take revenge.

"But what does this have to do with Liu Siren? He is still very likely to be a spy of Luo Guo. ”

When Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he issued an order for a massacre, which caused an uproar in the army of Luoguo, so a group of colleagues who rebelled against Emperor Shun appeared.

Not only Liu Siren, but also many Luoguo people in Jian'an City who had helped Da'an back then. ”

Hearing Huang Liang say this, Zhang Haomin immediately understood, no wonder there are so many Luo people in this Jian'an City, it turns out that this is because of this.

"Then why didn't they go back to Luoguo and overthrow that Emperor Shun?"

"Their families are still in Luoguo, if they all mutini and want to kill back, I'm afraid that Emperor Shun doesn't know what vicious methods he will come up with. ”

In fact, there is a more important reason, this Emperor Shun did not affect the internal interests of Luoguo, and even looted a large amount of wealth from Da'an and shipped it back to Luoguo.

In this way, the people in Luoguo still support this Emperor Shun, especially the aristocratic class.

"Then why did they stay?"

"They didn't want to return to the country of Luo, which was ruled by Emperor Shun, so they stayed in Da'an, and in this way, more than ten years passed,"

"But after all, the fourth year of Liu is a holy realm, if you let him stay in Jian'an City all the time, won't you worry about anything?"

Huang Liang heard Zhang Haomin's words, raised his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and lay next to Zhang Haomin's ear, and whispered to him.

"That Liu gave his life talisman to His Majesty in the fourth year, if he really made any changes, His Majesty could take his life at any time, and he still needed to hand over a large number of eternal stones every year. ”

For this so-called life talisman, Zhang Haomin nodded suddenly in understanding, no wonder Emperor Tianzhu had no fear of Na Liu for four years, it turned out that the reason for this was because of this.

However, when hearing Huang Liang's last sentence, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"What? That guy gave you all the Eternalstones?"

"That Emperor Shun can ask us for Liu for four years by name, what's wrong with us charging him some asylum money. ”

"Hey, what you said is not right, people also contributed to Da'an back then, how can they forget it in a blink of an eye? ”

"There are a lot of things in this, it's not just that simple, anyway, he knows it in his own heart. ”

As for what happened in this, Huang Liang didn't tell Zhang Haomin, because it was related to a big scandal in the imperial court, and he couldn't tell Zhang Haomin.

Seeing that Huang Liang's mouth was tightly closed, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be quite disappointed, so he said stupidly.

"Cut, don't talk about pulling it down, anyway, that Liu told us that this eternal stone was given to the poor in the fourth year. ”

This is not wrong, his eternal stone is indeed used to renovate the slums in Jian'an City and the surrounding areas. ”

"In that case, how can there be slums in Jian'an City? He has given you a lot of eternal stones, even if there are three or four slums, you can be repaired. ”

Regarding Zhang Haomin's words, Huang Liang's face couldn't help but flash a trace of embarrassment, Zhang Haomin's words were not wrong at all, but the facts always deviated from imagination.

They also thought that the slum would disappear completely, but they did not expect that not only did the slum not disappear, but even more and more slums in it.

Anyway, now that there is Liu's four-year-old eternal stone hanging here, they don't care anymore.

"This matter is troublesome, because the imperial court will send eternal stones every month, and the poor people in this slum are not only not less, but even more and more. ”

"Oh, could it be that there are still people in this who are taking it?"

"At the beginning, we thought so, but after a closer inspection, we found that there were only a few people who impersonated them, and they were basically the so-called poor people. ”

Zhang Haomin couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that he had become such an eternal stone, and ordinary people could deliberately become poor people? This is a little too ridiculous.

"And where did this extra come from?"

"These are the poor people from several nearby places, and after they heard that there were eternal stones in Jian'an City, they flocked to Jian'an City, so there are more and more of them. ”

Hearing Huang Liang's words, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but laugh.

Not only did the slums fail to clean up, but they even put up signboards to attract more poor people.

"Hahaha, then you didn't think of thinking about it?"

"I didn't think about it, but I can't drive the poor out of the city because of this, and I can't keep them from entering the city, it's really hard to manage, so I can only limit the number of places that can be distributed. ”

When the quota was restricted, there were still a lot of moths.

In the end, there was really no way, so they had to send the Gu Mask Army to maintain stability, which finally made them stop, but since then, there have been frequent murders in the slums.

Zhang Haomin's thinking was very clear, as soon as Huang Liang said this, he instantly understood what the consequences would be, so he couldn't help but say to Huang Liang worriedly.

"It's not a good idea to limit the quota allotment, and if you don't get it, it will kill people because of this so-called quota. ”

"You're right, there were a lot of murders in the slums for a while, but now they have stopped a lot, and there is no more chaos. ”

", if I'm not mistaken, there's a so-called group of elders in the slums. ”

"You're really god, you can even guess that there is indeed a so-called gang in the slum to help with the monthly distribution of Eternal Stones. ”

Zhang Haomin couldn't help but roll his eyes, the official in charge of dealing with the slum matter is really quite incompetent, this is completely irresponsible.

Anyone who wants to clean up slums should not be allowed to have such organizations.

Because once this kind of organization appears, it must be that the members of the organization will give priority to receiving the Eternal Stone, and there will be some people who really need the Eternal Stone who will not receive it.

And most importantly, the power of this organization will become very high.

If others do not obey their management, they will naturally not receive money, and they can even blackmail others for this, so as to achieve some despicable purpose of their own.

"Emperor Heavenly Grant, he doesn't know about this?"

"I should know, but the person in charge of this matter is a relative of the emperor, and Your Majesty can only turn a blind eye sometimes, and he won't ask questions most of the time. ”
