Chapter 11: The Red Maple Tragedy
Chuzhou City has not been very peaceful recently, and it originated from a mountain villa on the outskirts of Chuzhou City, Red Maple Villa.
Someone once saw a man in a dark shirt carrying a box the size of a watermelon coming out of the Red Maple Villa, and since then, the gate of the Red Maple Villa has been closed and no customers have been accepted.
Originally, Hongfeng Villa was a famous medical holy place on the rivers and lakes, and its owner was superbly skilled in alchemy.
Reportedly
The Red Blood Pill, the treasure of Zhenzhuang, even has the effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead!
However, the cost of seeing a doctor and saving people in Red Maple Villa is also extremely expensive, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, it also attracted the people of the city to be reviled as quacks!
Some people even threw vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and dirt at the entrance of the villa. Those are ordinary people, and Red Maple Villa can't treat ordinary people like they do on the rivers and lakes.
In desperation, he took out one day a month to open the door of the village and treat the people in the city for free.
And today, it is another day of January to see a doctor for the people in the city, and the people have lined up early outside the village.
It's just strange that seeing that the sun is three poles up, the villa is still closed, and no one has ever come out.
The people outside the village were in a hurry, but inside the village was a dead silence, and there were scattered herbs and pills everywhere.
and cold corpses,
All of them were sealed by a sword!
Hundreds of people in Red Maple Villa were not spared. The people outside couldn't wait any longer, some left, and some continued to wait.
A few bold men saw that no one had come out, and that they should not knock on the door, so they climbed up the wall.
"Murdered!"
The man who went up first was so frightened that he fell off the wall.
People gathered around him and asked him what was going on inside.
All he could say was one sentence.
"Murdered!"
So more people climbed up the wall and saw the hellish scene inside.
They are all ordinary people, when have they seen such a scene, many people can't help but vomit, more and more people heard that there were people inside, which immediately caused a riot, and a few people who were a little more rational ran to report to the official.
After the officers and soldiers came, they dispersed the people, broke down the gate of the villa, and couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the scene inside.
Most of these officers and soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and they have never even killed anyone.
Where is the war in the peaceful and prosperous times?
Some officers and soldiers even vomited on the spot, just like the people outside.
Then the city lord Chu Xianliang got the news and rushed over, and the commander carried the corpses away one by one, and sealed the Red Maple Villa.
In the eyes of the people, the matter of Red Maple Villa is over, and for them, it is just one less place to see a doctor, and one more thing to talk about after tea and dinner.
That's all.
But for the city lord Chu Xianliang, this matter is very important, even if the strength of the Red Maple Villa is not considered, just the hundreds of lives, he can't just leave it alone as the city lord.
Chu Xianliang, as his name suggests, is really a virtuous person.
So I visited and investigated, who has been in and out of Hongfeng Villa recently.
Don't let go of the slightest clue.
Finally, he found the most suspicious person, the man in the dark shirt, I heard that since the person who beat him came out of the Red Maple Villa, the villa was closed, and no one entered or exited.
Chu Xianliang was sitting in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion at the moment, pressing his temples with two fingers of his right hand, with a sad expression. Although the man had been found, Chu Xianliang was in a dilemma at the moment.
Because that person is the only son of Jiangnan Luo's and the next owner of Tingfeng Tower.
With such an identity, even the emperor in the palace has to give three points.
Although the imperial court doesn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, in Chu Xian's conscience, killing people will pay for their lives! Not to mention the tragedy of the entire Red Maple Villa!
has a weak heart, he is just a small city lord in Chuzhou City, how can he fight Jiangnan Luo's?
For a few days, Chu Xianliang was thinking about this matter, until one day, the guards outside the mansion came in to report that a person from the rivers and lakes wanted to visit him.
"Ask him to come in. ”
Chu Xianliang has always had no good impression of people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bandit leader for a group of people who only know how to fight and kill.
But at this moment, he couldn't think of any other way, so he just asked the people in the rivers and lakes if there was a way to deal with Jiangnan Luo's.
The man walked lightly, with his long hair draped behind him, and a sword in his hand, and when he entered the lobby, he ignored his master's house, and sat down on the chair below.
Boom!
The sword in his hand was placed on the tea table, and then he looked at Chu Xianliang, looked at it twice, and then spoke.
"I'm here to tell you the real culprit in the case of Red Maple Villa. ”
In his own home, the initiative to talk was taken away by the other party, and Chu Xianliang interrupted the man's words.
"It's the young master of the Luo family!"
"Oh, the city lord of Chu is not small, and he can actually find out the head of the Luo family?"
It seems that Chu Xianliang was able to find out about Luo Jiuyue, which was very unexpected to him, and it was also true that most officials were taboo about the behemoth of Jiangnan Luo's and did not dare to offend him in the slightest, and there were indeed not many loyal people like Chu Xianliang.
"Humph!"
snorted coldly, expressing dissatisfaction with the other party's tone, but after thinking about it, he had to put down the city lord's shelf and said in a deep voice.
"The lord of this city, although the murderer has been found, there is no way to bring the criminal to justice. ”
"Don't worry, Lord of the City, I'm here to help the Lord share his worries and solve problems, I already have a plan, and I will definitely capture the son of the Luo family in one fell swoop!"
"Oh?"
Hearing that there was a way to arrest Luo Jiuyue, Chu Xianliang became interested, and these days he didn't think about tea and dinner all day long for this matter, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
In fact, he could have reported to the court that this was a vendetta of the rivers and lakes, and the court didn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
It doesn't matter to him!
But Chu Xianliang can't pass this level in his heart after all, that's hundreds of lives!
How can a vendetta end to it?
Chu Xianliang looked at the man and continued to wait for his next steps to see if there was any way to deal with the Luo family.
"Actually, the solution is very simple, as long as you spread the rumors that the son of the Luo family slaughtered the Red Maple Villa, there will be many righteous people in the rivers and lakes who will go to the Luo family to crusade. ”
"No matter how strong the Luo family is, it can't compete with the entire rivers and lakes, not to mention, we are in charge of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes!"
After Chu Xianliang heard this, he secretly said very well!
After saying that, the man left, and he never reported himself to his home from beginning to end, so Chu Xianliang had no way of knowing the names of such loyal people.
But it's okay, as long as you can kill the murderer of the Luo family, and avenge the innocent souls of the Red Maple Villa.
"Someone!"
With a way to deal with Luo Jiuyue, Chu Xianliang's voice also regained its former momentum.
"The subordinates are here!"
Two armor-clad guards came in from outside the door, bending over and bowing.
"You immediately release news throughout the city, saying that the tragedy of the destruction of Hongfeng Villa was done by the son of the Luo family, and send some people to disguise themselves as people from the rivers and lakes to secretly spread the news. ”
"Yes!"
The two guards were ordered to retreat, and Chu Xianliang confidently sat back in front of the table and continued to process the file, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but smile.
The efficiency of the officers and men was very fast, and within half a day, the large and small streets of Chuzhou City were plastered with notices.
In the teahouses and liquor shops everywhere, people from the rivers and lakes disguised as officers and soldiers sat at the tables in twos and threes, drinking and eating meat in large bowls. From time to time, the Red Maple tragedy is discussed.
"Eh, have you heard, Red Maple Villa has been destroyed. ”
"I know, and I heard that it was done by the son of the Luo family in Nan'an City, it's full of doors, how cruel this is. ”
"What? What did Young Master Luo do? It can't be. ”
"Hey, the government has already issued a notice, and now many people from the rivers and lakes have gone to Nan'an City to ask the Luo family for an explanation, is this still false?"
"Really, let's go and see. ”
A group of people poured the wine in the bowl into their stomachs, and then rushed to Nan'an City with five and six drinks.
