Chapter 135 The Unfathomable Purple Sun City
"Live and work in peace and contentment?" Du Wenyuan smiled and continued, "Have you ever heard the sentence 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'. What you see is just the surface, in fact, Ziyang's government is already corrupt!"
Du Wenyuan's words made Ren Xiao and the others not know who to believe for a while, and the old woman who had been beside her and didn't speak, at this time, seeing that the three teenagers were a little hesitant, she stepped forward and said: "Three young heroes, you don't know, Mr. Du was originally a teacher in the school. Later, I don't know where the government got the news.,Said that the school was built by a thief.,The school had to be forcibly demolished.,Later, thanks to a lord in the capital, the school was saved.。 ”
"It's the first time I've heard of such an unbelievable thing as a thief building a school. Ye Lan felt a little incredible. The old woman said, "Who says it isn't? The school built by their government charges a very high fee, how can the children of ordinary people afford to go to school, and now that someone has paid for the construction of the school, they have to say that it was built by thieves." ”
The more Ren Xiao listened, the more strange he became, and asked, "Then who built this school?" The old woman said: "No one really knows this, the craftsmen who built it said that someone gave them a letter and asked them to build the school, and a silver ticket was attached to it. I also received a letter one day saying that I was invited to take care of the school, but there was no information about the sender. After that, envelopes would come in every once in a while, and the money in them would be used to cover the daily expenses of the school. You think that thief would do such a thing?"
"How long has this academy been established?" Ye Lan asked. The old woman thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost ten years!" Ren Xiao and the three of them were shocked, after ten years, who would continue to provide funds for this school?
The more Feng Shang listened, the more confused he became, and simply didn't care about these historical issues, but asked, "What happened to Mr. Du's scolding of officials?"
Du Wenyuan recalled: "It was almost a year ago, I was teaching the children, and suddenly a gang of arresters broke in and were about to arrest me. They locked me in a cell and tortured me about who the mysterious man behind the school was, but how did I know about it, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell the brutes. They locked me up for a while and then released me, and it was in this situation that I wrote an article scolding Ziyang's county order, and then I was wanted, and after I was arrested, I was severely beaten for a while, and I was just released not long ago. ”
After listening to Du Wenyuan's narration and having a general understanding of the situation, Ye Lan said: "If what you said is true, then there is indeed a problem with Ziyang's county order. Ren Xiao looked at Ye Lan and said: "Originally, our task was to come to the West to sweep away robbers and rebels, but shouldn't we also deal with officials like this kind of predatory people?" Feng Shang agreed with Ren Xiao's opinion, and said: "I think we should take this Ziyang County Order by the way, they are holding the capital's Yulu, and they should serve the people, but now they are reversing black and white to catch innocents, they are no better than robbers!"
The two companions were impassioned, but Ye Lan was still as calm as water, and said: "We haven't figured out the truth of the matter yet, so let's not jump to conclusions first, and even if these are true, then who will lead the rectification after we get rid of the county order."
What about Ziyang City? Even if there are virtuous people to organize things in the city, what about those robbers outside? Will the new county order definitely be able to resist the harassment of the bandits?" Ren Xiao and Feng Shang looked at each other and felt that Ye Lan's analysis was correct, Du Wenyuan interjected: "This brother is right, although the county order of Ziyang City is not a good thing, but since the chaos in the world, all places have been attacked by robbers and bandits, but our Ziyang City has not been affected in any way. I still have to praise him for this. ”
When a few people were talking, Ye Lan suddenly became vigilant, looked around, and said, "It's not good, we are surrounded, it looks like soldiers guarding the city, Ren Xiao Fengshang, you take Mr. Du and the old woman to go first, I just went to investigate some things." Feng Shang wanted to say something, but Ren Xiao immediately understood what Ye Lan meant, grabbed Feng Shang and said, "Hurry up, listen to him!" After speaking, he grabbed Du Wenyuan and ran into the darkness, Feng Shang had no choice but to pick up the old woman and run with Ren Xiao.
Ye Lan, who was left alone in the same place, said to himself: "Let me see what kind of person this Ziyang City County Commander is!" After speaking, there were hundreds of ten soldiers guarding the city around him, one by one holding spears to surround Ye Lan, led by a very sloppy general, the helmet was also crooked, his face was full of meat, and there were still some oil stains left at the corners of his mouth.
"Boy, you dare to have anything to do with the school, who are you?" Tell me quickly!" the sloppy general glared at Ye Lan. Ye Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with both hands: "Haven't you asked for this adult's honorable name?"
"Hahaha, I'm the guard of Ziyang City, Chang Chao is also! You little doll don't know that this school was investigated by the government? Tell me quickly, what is your relationship with the black bat?"
"Black bat, do you mean the Night Moon Soul?" Ye Lan would never have thought that this academy would have something to do with the Night Moon Soul. Chang Chao saw that the other party knew the black bat, so he drew his knife in his hand and said, "It seems that you really have a connection with the Night Moon Soul, brothers, take down this fellow Jiang Yang thief for me!"
As soon as Chang Chao gave the order, the soldiers immediately surrounded him, and Ye Lan hurriedly said: "Wait, you can take me away, but I will only report the situation to the county commander!"
The words were divided into two ends, when Ren Xiao and Feng Shang were rushing with Du Wenyuan and the old woman who didn't know where to go, the old woman said on Feng Shang's back: "Go to the school, those people from the government don't dare to go to the school!"
"What the hell is Ye Lan thinking? I really don't understand!" Feng Shang paced back and forth in the room of the academy, Ren Xiao sat on the stool, and admonished: "The situation in Ziyang City is far from being as simple as we think, there are contradictions everywhere, and nothing can be said clearly. Feng Shang stopped, walked to Ren Xiao's side and said: "I don't understand anything about the past they said, and now what I don't understand is why the government can't get along with this private school, even if it was built with the money of a thief, then the government should be happy, someone will share their worries!"
Ren Xiao supported his chin with his hand and analyzed: "This is also what I don't understand, if the county commander is a good person, then why did he arrest Mr. Du, a teaching teacher, for no reason, and go against this school." And if this county magistrate is a bad person, then why can he govern such a big city in an orderly manner?
What is unique in the troubled times?" Ren Xiao thought about it, and thought that he was also in chaos, and said: "I think Ye Lan must have thought of these things too, so he plans to be arrested on purpose, and then investigate deeply." ”
"Then why didn't he let us go with him? Feng is still puzzled. Ren Xiao explained: "Have you forgotten to be in the Immortal Cave? If it weren't for Qiu Jieding's timely appearance, the three of us might have confessed." He wants to be with us inside and out. Feng Shang nodded thoughtfully, "So what do we do now?"
"Wait, wait for dawn!"
The morning rooster reported that the sky was not yet bright, and the entire Ziyang City began to be busy, and more and more people started their day's work. Taverns began to open their doors, vendors pulled their belongings out into the streets, and workers moved to and fro by the river to carry their goods.
As soon as Ren Xiaogan pushed the door out, he saw Du Wenyuan running towards him in a hurry, "Brother Ren, look, it's a letter again, but this time is a little different from before." ”
"What's different?"
"There's a letter for you inside!"
"What? for us?" Ren Xiao couldn't guess that it would be this rhythm at all, "What about the letter?" Du Wenyuan took out the letter and handed it to Ren Xiao.
I saw that the envelope was written: "Chivalrous Three Young Relatives Enlightened", Ren Xiao hurriedly opened the envelope, only to see that it was written:
I know all about you, but I hope you'd better not meddle in the affairs of Ziyang City, because the stakes are high, and leave quickly!
There was no signature at the end of the letter, and Ren Xiao asked, "Are you sure this is the person who has been delivering the letter before?" Du Wenyuan nodded and said, "It's not wrong, the envelope is exactly the same, and there are some silver tickets in it." ”
Feng Shang also came over at this time, and after understanding the situation, his brows tightened, and he said, "What do you mean by 'knowing all our things'?" Ren Xiao suddenly became clever and said: "Could it be Brother Li and them, only they know all our affairs, could it be that behind this academy is the capital guard?"
"It doesn't make sense! If it's a guard in the capital, how dare the government touch this academy?"
"Don't think about this for now, go and inquire about Ye Lan's current situation!" Ren Xiao said as he folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms so as not to be noticed by others.
In the prison, the county magistrate, who had just woken up, accompanied by Chang Chao, began to interrogate Ye Lan, who was captured last night.
"Say, what is your relationship with the Night Moon Soul?" the county commander asked sharply. Ye Lan, who was tied to the wood, smiled: "We are opponents!"
The county commander rolled his eyes, was slightly startled, and said, "Are you Li Xiangri?" Before he finished speaking, he knew that it was impossible, and then said: "No, I have seen Li Xiangri, you are not him!"
Ye Lan was still fearless, and said, "Who said that the black bat has only one opponent?"
The county magistrate was a little impatient, and it seemed that he woke up early in the morning just to try this boring boy, which made the magistrate a little unhappy. Ye Lan asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to embarrass Du Wenyuan, a literati?"
The county magistrate, who was about to get up and leave, sat down again when he heard this, raised his head and said, "Eh, boy, you know a lot!
