"Something's wrong! Old Zhou, there's an accident. ”

Directly lifting the tent, He Sai got into the tent and shouted.

In order to facilitate the supervision of the progress of the project, Zhou Peiling set up a tent camp nearby, which was easier for the workers to live and live than to bathe in the wind and rain.

At this time, in the tent, Zhou Peiling was holding a baby about seven or eight years old, and when he saw He Sai stepping into the tent, he immediately glared at him with anger, and complained: "Don't make noise, or you will have to wake Mu Mu up." ”

"Mu Mu, it's also you, otherwise this baby girl is afraid that she won't survive. He Sai quickly put away his expression and said in a low voice.

Zhou Peiling recovered at this time and asked in a low voice: "By the way, you just said that something happened? Tell me, what's going on?"

He Sai replied: "It was the farmers, just a few days ago, the farmers came and said they were going to dismantle the paver. ”

"Want to dismantle the paver? Tell me, who ordered it?" Zhou Peiling's face sank, and he shouted directly.

It is no wonder that Zhou Peiling thinks so, because they represent the government, and this era has not gone through the Enlightenment, and the government has a considerable sense of oppression on the people in the sky, if it is not persecuted to the limit, it is impossible for those people to attack the government.

That's why Zhou Peiling thinks so.

He Sai replied, "Not this. It's the farmers, they're dead!"

"Dead? Zhou Peiling's heart tightened, and he looked at He Sai with a worried face.

Although officials are inherently higher than those people, they are subject to the constraints of law and morality, and the officials under the command of the Red Phoenix Army do not dare to be arrogant to the people.

He Sai shook his head and replied, "How dare I! It was the farmers who dismantled the paver without permission, and they ended up covered with the asphalt. You know what that hot asphalt is all about, and where is there any chance of surviving after being drenched?"

"So that's it?"

Zhou Peiling felt a little relaxed, as long as He Sai didn't do it himself, there was still room to turn around.

Even so, He Sai still looked sad: "But this has caused a death after all, what do you say I will do next?" I'm only twenty-eight, but I don't want to go to prison!"

"Alas. This can only be handled by Chang'an, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere. Zhou Peiling replied helplessly.

Seriously, they have not seen engineering accidents, sometimes the construction personnel will encounter danger if they are not careful, some because they have not noticed, some have not done a good job of protective measures, and more are completely unavoidable and belong to natural disasters.

But at that time, Zhou Peiling gave the corresponding compensation to the sacrificed workers, so he didn't make much trouble.

However, it is different now, the victims are local villagers, but they do not belong to their jurisdiction, and there are more than a dozen dead and wounded, which will definitely be transmitted to Chang'an, which makes He Sai so afraid, if it is traced, I am afraid that Zhou Peiling will also be implicated.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the account.

Zhou Peiling concentrated for a while, and heard foul language such as "get out", "corrupt official", "murderer" and so on coming from outside, which made people wonder why human beings are so malicious.

"Are those people? They came here?"

Jose felt angry, and it was clear that the other party was premeditated, so he was angry and prepared to go out and reason with those people.

"You stay in here first, don't go out. Zhou Peiling shouted directly.

Hossai retorted, "But I—"

"You also know that you are one of the parties involved, and if you show up, you are afraid that you will annoy the other party and make the situation worse. So this time, let me figure it out, at least if it were me, they would be obedient. Zhou Peiling complained, and then handed the baby in his arms to He Sai, who had no choice but to pick it up.

Lifting the curtain, Zhou Peiling walked out.

Immediately he saw a crowd gathered outside the tent, all of them in ragged clothes and quite old, except for the one in the front, dressed in silk and satin, and evidently a man of great wealth.

"Are you, Zhang Feng?"

Taking a closer look, Zhou Peiling's heart tightened, when he was in Chunhua before, he had seen him from afar a few times, so he remembered Zhang Feng's appearance.

"Yes, this place is already very close to Chunhua, and the biggest force in this vicinity, only the Chunhua Zhang clan has this energy. ”

Although Zhang Feng felt strange, he didn't think so, he met a lot of people on weekdays, and there was no shortage of Zhou Peiling alone, so he raised his head and asked, "You are Zhou Peiling?"

"That's right, it's down there. ”

Zhou Peiling closed his head and replied, "I just don't know what happened when Councilor Zhang came to me?"

Since the parliament was promoted, Zhang Feng has also relied on his own means to get the identity of a councilor, and he is not interested in climbing up, so he has relied on various means to suppress his opponents, and he has been dominating the Chunhua Council, which is a headache.

Zhang Feng snorted lightly and scolded directly: "Since this is the case, then do you know what you have done wrong?"

"Hah!"

With a chuckle, Zhou Peiling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said that this was indeed the case, and replied: "I'm sorry, I really didn't think of what mistake I made to make Your Excellency come so eagerly? After all, even if you want to impeach, at least you have to have evidence, right?"

According to the law, the county council is not without the power to impeach officials, but this can only be carried out with the approval of the higher council and the approval of the state officials, and if any of them are missing, the impeachment will be annulled.

And even if it succeeds, it will be a month before the successor takes office.

"Humph!"

Zhang Feng snorted lightly, waved his hand to the person behind him, and soon someone carried seven or eight stretchers on it, and then put it in front of Zhou Peiling's eyes.

The people on the stretcher were covered in asphalt, and their whole bodies were directly fixed because the asphalt had solidified, showing what they were before they died.

Zhou Peiling swept his eyes and asked, "This is?"

"You don't understand, these are all victims who were killed by your so-called mechanical monsters, if I don't get justice for them, how can I become this Chunhua Councilor?" Zhang Feng scolded.

The farmer behind him shook the farm tools in his hands and scolded them together.

"It's all your demon, otherwise where did this mechanical monster come from?"

"Smoke and fire all day long, isn't it a youkai?"

"That's right. It's all my fault, my kids are sick. ”

"Anyway, we have to give an account today. ”

“......”

Thousands of words are combined into one sentence, and it is one word - get out!

But Zhou Peiling was not the timid and afraid of things, he snorted coldly, but refused to retreat, and complained directly: "Hmph." Su Wener and other people in the countryside all value ignorance, and now it seems that this is really the case. ”

"What do you say?"

Zhang Feng felt a pain between his eyebrows, and opened his mouth to scold.

Zhou Peiling replied loudly: "It's nothing, it's just scolding you." Obviously it is for your good, so I specially built a road for you, but I didn't expect you to not appreciate it, and even make such a thing, what kind of reason is this?" The farmers in the distance were also captured, and Zhou Peiling continued to threaten: "And have you forgotten that I am a person from the government, and you can afford to take responsibility for inciting the masses to obstruct the project here?"

"Hmph. Even so, but it's true that your machine caused the dead, do you want to deny it?" Zhang Feng seized this reason and continued to attack.

Zhou Peiling's expression paused slightly, and he immediately defended: "They deserve it, and they actually want to dismantle that machinery in violation of regulations, how is this possible? It's strange not to be killed." ”

"Hmph. In this way, it's not that you haven't done your job? What do you say to help the people, what do you say to open up business opportunities, isn't it so that you can take away our farmland and destroy our feng shui? Don't think that you are an official? I see that you are clearly a demon monk, who specializes in serving the monster. ”

Zhang Feng was also sharp-tongued, and he did not fall behind in the slightest when he scolded, and his words were undisguised as soon as his voice changed.

"In my opinion, you are pretending to be Sven on the surface, but secretly you must be collecting human lives to provide energy for that mechanical monster, otherwise why would these things always happen. ”

Zhou Peiling's heart burned, he felt a little angry, and scolded loudly: "You are really vicious, why do you filth me like this?"

"An insult? Is it just a statement of facts, is it an insult? I ask you, is your paver often unable to move?" With a contemptuous smile, Zhang Feng asked directly.

Zhou Peiling explained: "Those need to be repaired because of mechanical failures. ”

"It's not!" Zhang Feng shook his head and continued to explain: "That's because that mechanical monster was hungry, so it stopped and couldn't move. ”

When the surrounding farmers heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"So that's it?"

"It's not!" Zhou Peiling was a little anxious, and explained: "It's purely because of a malfunction, so you need to stop for maintenance." He didn't know how much effort he had wasted in order to get the paver, and naturally he didn't want to be so suspicious of these country fools.

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Feng replied loudly: "That's because there is no blood food, so the monster stopped, and only by giving it blood food can that thing continue to work." ”

Seeing Zhou Peiling's anxious face, Zhang Feng was even more proud, and said: "And have you noticed that baby girls have often disappeared recently? That is, it was stolen by this guy, just to sacrifice that monster." ”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

"How is this possible? I didn't expect this guy to be so cruel. ”

"Even a baby sacrifice to a youkai, does he still have humanity?"

Fortunately, Master Zhang saw through it in time, which prevented the other party from continuing to be evil. ”

“......”

"Shut up!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Peiling raised his voice suddenly, staring at the people in front of him with a pair of eyes, especially that Zhang Feng, who remembered it even more.

Back then, his father was also buried in the hands of the other party, and now the other party has repeated his old tricks and reappeared in front of him.

This made Zhou Peiling unable to control it anymore, and ordered loudly: "Since you are making noise here, then don't blame me for being polite." Escort, get these guys out of here. ”

At the sound of an order, those guards who had already been on standby raised their guns one after another and aimed them at the people in front of them, including Na Zhang Feng.

Aiming at the black hole, these people were afraid, Zhang Feng also glanced at the muzzle of the gun with a little fear, and then glanced at Zhou Peiling with resentment, and shouted: "Let's go back." Then, he left here with the group, and came and went without a trace as before.

Seeing these people leaving, Zhou Peiling breathed a sigh of relief, but he was uneasy in his heart.

"According to that chapter's abundant temperament, I'm afraid that this matter will not end so simply, and maybe there will be a bigger storm next. ”
