"These two people, one is the Daotai of the city, named 'Wu Xinyi', and the other is the 'Shang Chihui' of the Guiyi Division's Heavenly Inspector, who currently lives in the Daotai Mansion. Mrs. Dai's expression was no longer a trace of hesitation, and her tone was very flat, as if she was not talking about killing two people, but about slaughtering two pigs and sheep, "As long as you mention the heads of these two people and give them to you and me, I will tell you where the 'sorrows' are." ”

Ji Cha was stunned when he heard this, and after a few breaths, he slowly reacted: "What? You asked me to kill the people from the Daotai and the Sky Survey Prison in this city? Mrs. Dai, you didn't sleep in a daze!"

Mrs. Dai shook her head and said, "Naturally not, I think about it very clearly, these two people must be killed." Why, the world-famous bamboo cutters and tea pickers don't even dare to kill the two dog officials?"

Ji Cha scolded: "His grandmother's, who to look down on? There are still guys in the world who my tea pickers dare not kill? However, my tea pickers are not the kind of poor acid killers who kill for whoever gives money." Tell me why you asked me to kill these two. ”

When Mrs. Dai saw Ji Cha's appearance, the depression from last night to the present immediately dissipated a lot, covered her sleeves, smiled lightly, put down her sleeves again, and said, "These two people are dog officials who should be killed." To kill them is to remove harm from the people. ”

Ji Cha said: "This Wu Xinyi's reputation is indeed not good, I have seen many people complain about him, it seems that the time of tax collection is too early, the grace period given is too short, and he has done some disgraceful things." As for the Celestial Surveyor, I have never heard of him. ”

"And that's not all. Mrs. Dai said, "Wu Xinyi colluded with several local sects and gangs, opened casinos, set up flower houses, and secretly did a lot of underworld business. The casinos he injected money hired to attract people to bet, and secretly adjusted the odds, so that many people lost all their money, and even sold their children to pay back. He also bought and sold human beings with bandits from other places, threw the women they looted to the flower building to pick up customers, and if there was a temperament that was too strong, he was directly killed. ”

When Ji Cha heard this, he said quite angrily: "What he is really a dog official, what he does is simply eating the flesh of the people and drinking the blood of the people." The words changed again: "He is the victim of the party, what is your mountain brother doing to eat, watching from the side? Is it because he is in collusion with him and sits on the ground to share the spoils?"

"My brother will never be in the company of such villains. Mrs. Dai's voice was very heavy, "In fact, Brother Shan has participated in Wu Xinyi's actions more than once in the imperial court, but Wu Xinyi took money to get along with many people in the imperial court, even if the imperial court sent people to investigate and collect evidence, it was just a few days when the casino flower building was closed for rectification, and when the people in the imperial court left, it returned to normalcy." The bad things he did were far more than that, what kind of unjust cases, shielding wicked people, and disregarding people's lives...... If I really want to talk about it in detail, I can't finish it for several days. Wu Xinyi's actions have become more and more unscrupulous and blatant in recent years, and if you ask the people of this city, they will know more or less about some of the evil deeds that Wu Xinyi has done. ”

"Well, this person should be killed, it's on this bamboo cutter!" Ji Cha patted Hong Chen on the shoulder, and asked Mrs. Dai again, "What's the matter with that person in the Sky Survey Prison?

Mrs. Dai said, "That's not true. But I have inquired that Shang Chihui likes to collude with local governors like Wu Xinyi and accept bribes from them, so as to frame other people, so that the clean officials and good officials who are the masters of the people will be imprisoned, and the corrupt officials and thieves who prey on the common people will go unpunished. ”

Ji Cha nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then Shang Chihui is also a dog official." Okay, the killing of him is also handed over to this bamboo cutter. ”

Mrs. Dai said: "In addition to this, I have one more request. ”

Ji Cha said: "How can you still ask for it? Didn't you just say that it would be good to kill two people? This is going to make us kill one more person? Did you agree to this, and you will mention another one?"

Mrs. Dai said, "No." The request is simple, not to kill other people. Just let you kill people, leave a word so that others can hear. ”

Ji Cha asked, "What words?"

"Say that you were ordered by Dai Wanshan to kill them. ”

Mrs. Dai's answer really surprised Ji Cha.

Ji Cha really wanted to touch Mrs. Dai's forehead to see if she had a fever and said nonsense: "Are you sure? In this way, your brother will become a sinner who kills his colleagues!"

"I've figured it out. "If you agree to my request," said Mrs. Dai, "take advantage of this to-night, and return with the heads of those two men before dawn to-morrow." ”

Ji Cha couldn't help but think that Mrs. Dai's strange request was not a conspiracy. But Mrs. Dai never went out of the room from beginning to end, and only said a few words to the maid. Even her daughter Dai Yue wanted to come to the study to see her, but she ordered her not to enter the door and disturb her.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, anyway, those two dog officials are not good things, and killing them can be regarded as benefiting the people. Moreover, that 'sorrow-dispelling sword' is a long-lost divine weapon treasure knife, and the 'Heavenly Iron' that can be refined in it is probably more than any divine weapon I have ever obtained. ”

Ji Cha made up his mind in his heart, so he turned to Hong Chen and said, "Let's go, let's go to Daotai Mansion to kill people!"

Hong Chen was stunned: "I'm still hungry." ”

Mrs. Dai pointed to the table: "This is the leftover vegetables, fruits and cold porridge, if you don't eat enough, I will instruct the kitchen to make you some hot dishes." ”

Hong Chen said: "That's good. Ji Cha twisted his arm: "What's good? Eat and eat, you know how to eat, it's good to have cold porridge and vegetables and fruits, do you still want to eat hot dishes, do you still want to eat stew? Eat dim sum?" Hong Chen changed his words and said: "I originally said that cold porridge is good, I like to drink cold porridge, eat vegetables and fruits, light." ”

By the time Hongchen finished drinking the cold porridge and eating the fruits and vegetables, the night had already covered the earth, and the sky was completely black, and even the stars could not be seen. Mrs. Dai lit a paper lantern and handed it to Ji Cha: "It's too dark, you can go with the lights." ”

Ji Cha took the lantern and handed it to Hong Chen: "You practice carrying lanterns, you must be stable, be careful that the candle inside touches the paper outside, so that the whole lantern will catch fire." Hong Chen took the lantern, carried it carefully, and walked out of the door of the study with Ji Cha.

Mrs. Dai watched the two of them walk to the courtyard wall and jumped out, went to the house to light another lantern, and then carried the lantern all the way to the courtyard where her daughter lived.

Dai Yue was grooming in the mirror under the lamp, when she heard someone knocking on the door outside and asked, "Who?"

Mrs. Dai said, "It's me." ”

Dai Yue hurriedly got up and opened the door, and said with a smile: "Mom, you have finished your work!"

Mrs. Dai looked serious and said, "Yue'er, you pack your own things, and then go with me to clean up your father's things." When your father returns, we'll leave Tianwei City together. ”

Dai Yue asked, "Are we going to Tianjing with Daddy?"

"It's not. ”

"And where are we going?"

"You just have to pack your things. I'm here to help you. ”

Mrs. Dai and Dai Yue sorted out the clothes and jewelry in the house together, and wrapped them into a small package.

Before going out, Dai Yue said, "It's always raining in autumn, so I'll bring that hat and coat with me!" and took off the hat and coat on the wall.

The night is dark and the wind is high.

Hong Chen carried two knives on his waist, walked in front with a lantern, and Ji Cha wore an iron claw on his left hand and followed behind.

"The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Hong Chen suddenly spoke, "Last time you set fire to Purple Cloud City, this time it's my turn to kill people in Tianwei City." ”

Ji Cha said: "I said this once, and you still remember it." Why, when it comes to killing, you are frightened? Have you never killed anyone before? ”

"I really haven't killed it. ”

"Then you're going to kill someone this time, are you afraid?"

"There is no fear. It's not that I haven't seen murder, this time it's the dog official who should be killed, and I won't be able to beat the people of Daotai Mansion, what is there to be afraid of. ”

"Then what do you suddenly sigh about? ”

"I wonder if it's useful to kill people. Hong Chen said, "Wu Xinyi and Shang Chihui are all dog officials. But after killing them, the imperial court will still send other people to take charge of Tianwei City, and when the time comes, will the officials who come be good officials or worse officials than them?"

Ji Cha replied very simply: "It should be useless." But the dog official kills one less one, at least it makes people feel comfortable for a while. If you really want the people to live a good life, I think you still have to kill the emperor in Tianjing City. ”

Hong Chen now knows what "Emperor" and "Son of Heaven" refer to, and he just thinks in his heart: "Kill the emperor, won't there be a new emperor in the world." Will the new emperor be better than the previous emperor?"
