Chapter 52: Disaster (3)
Yecheng does not stand on the riverside like Yangcheng, but it is not far from the Xuan River.
In less than two hours, the carriage was already galloping into the city.
Jiang Yuan looked out of the car, the city of Yecheng is not big, the so-called "three-mile city, seven-mile Guo" is talking about such a small city. Its prosperity is far from being comparable to Yangcheng.
There is not much difference between the natural geographical conditions of Yangcheng and Yecheng, but the difference between the richness of the two is not small, which shows that the managers of Yangcheng have spent a lot of thought at the beginning.
Today is the day of the handover between Yecheng County Ya and Dong Chongjun, and there are many soldiers on the streets to maintain order, but the uniforms and armor are extremely clearly divided into two categories.
Most of the soldiers in this category were dressed in robes with bubble nails and no armor, and their style was no different from that of Yangcheng, which was the army under the control of the government.
The other type of soldier was dressed in animal pattern leather armor, with a round guard inlaid with iron plates on his chest, a long sword tied around his waist, and colorful feathers on his helmet beating with his footsteps. These well-equipped sergeants are obviously the soldiers raised by Dong Chongjun.
Looking at the difference between the two, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh at Dong Chongjun's financial strength and power.
In addition to the soldiers, Jiang Yuan also felt a lot of the aura of inheritance power in the city, and when he looked around, he only saw many noble men and women, presumably these were the children of the Lan family.
When the carriage came to the county government and stopped, Fei Qingquan did not get out of the car, but said to Jiang Yuan:
"I'm going to meet Dong Chongjun, and the matter of the officials in the county here is Lao Jiang's headcatch. ”
Jiang Yuan nodded, took two officials from Yangcheng, and got out of the carriage.
Fei Qingquan continued on in the carriage and disappeared at the end of the street. And Jiang Yuan took the officials into the county office.
After explaining his intention to the official at the entrance of the county office, the official quickly entered the county office to report.
After a while, a dissatisfied voice faintly came from the county office:
"Is there a mistake? It wasn't Yangcheng County that ordered Cai Xing to come in person, but he sent a catcher to pick us up? Forget it, let's invite him in." I'm now in the process of handing over the household registration of Ye County, and I'm so busy that I don't have time to take care of him, so I'll take him to the side room for tea and entertainment. ”
The official returned quickly, Jiang Yuan smiled, and didn't mind, and followed the official towards the side room.
In the county government, in addition to the officials, there are also many people with a sense of inheritance, who are either handing over documents with the officials or counting their belongings, and it seems that they are indeed very busy.
Jiang Yuan was secretly wary in his heart, he had only seen three people with the power of inheritance in the past, but he didn't expect to see so many at once when he came to Yecheng.
The aura of these people was weak and strong, and they all just looked at Jiang Yuan twice, and they didn't pay too much attention.
After entering the side room, the official served tea and left, and no one came to entertain him for a long time.
An accompanying official couldn't help but complain:
"This Yecheng County Ya is really rude, they dare to snub Jiang to catch the head, do they still know how to entertain people?"
Another official chimed in:
Jiang Zhutou came to pick them up in person, which was already enough to save face. How dare they snub like this!"
In Yangcheng, Jiang Yuan's prestige has spread all over the streets and alleys, and it has been branded into the hearts of county officials.
Therefore, in the eyes of these two officials, the number one master in Yangcheng, the temporary county lieutenant, and the extermination of the Dahe Gang, these names add up to Jiang Yuan is far more noble than Cai Xing's county order, but now Jiang Yuan is being treated like this, which inevitably makes them feel unhappy.
Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry, quietly drinking tea and waiting patiently.
The purpose of this trip, the most important thing is that Fei Qingquan asked Dong Chongjun for help. On his side, it's just a formality.
After a while, someone finally came to the door.
One of the people who came was a middle-aged man wearing an official robe, he was burly and bright-eyed, and from the official robe, he was Lu Yu, the county lieutenant of Yexian County.
The other person was a young woman.
That girl was only in her prime, but she was extremely beautiful. The skin is as fine as warm jade, and the small lips are red without dots. Dressed in a pink satin dress with a red silk ribbon tied around her waist, her already graceful figure is even more prominent. is a rare beauty.
To Jiang Yuan's surprise, this woman also had the aura of inheritance power.
After the two stepped into the side room, it was Lu Yu who spoke first:
"Is the head of the Jiang catcher in Yang County? This official is the county lieutenant of Ye County, and he is polite. ”
There was casual contempt in the tone of these words, and the words "headcatcher" and "county lieutenant" were bitten very hard, and it seemed that he planned to make a conclusion about his status as soon as he came, and he would oppress people with his position.
Jiang Yuan smiled and hugged his fist at Lu Yu.
But the beautiful woman smiled and said:
"The little woman Lan Xuan, who has been looking up to the river for a long time. This time, the little woman needs to go to Yangcheng for something, and when the time comes, she will go with Jiang Zhutou and the others. I also hope that after going to Yangcheng, Jiang Zhutou will be able to take care of it more. ”
Jiang Yuan's heart moved, this woman was really from the Lan family. He returned the salute and said:
"Don't dare, don't dare. ”
When Lu Yu heard Lan Xuan's enthusiasm for Jiang Yuan, the more annoyed he became.
When he wanted to demote himself from the county lieutenant and join the county as the head catcher, he was already very dissatisfied.
After hearing the news of Zhou Cunjian's death yesterday, he thought that he could take Zhou Cunjian's place in Yangcheng, so he hurriedly sent someone to Yangcheng to find the county commander Cai Xing to find out.
As a result, the person dispatched reported that the county ordered Cai Xing to be vague and not give any reply.
Later, the people who were sent were clever and went to the defenders of Yangcheng to find acquaintances to investigate, only to know that the position of county lieutenant in Yangcheng had been taken over by a kid named Jiang Yuan.
After getting the news, Lu Yu still didn't understand. So as soon as they met, he inevitably sneered at Jiang Yuan.
Lu Yu thought for a while, and suddenly said:
"I heard that Jiang Zhutou's martial arts are extraordinary, and this official has also learned a few tricks, I don't know if Jiang Zhutou is willing to give advice?"
The hint of provocation in her tone was self-evident, and Lan Xuan's big eyes stared at the two of them with interest.
Jiang Yuan asked:
"I don't know what realm Lieutenant Lu is?"
Lu Yu proudly replied:
"The official is not talented, and the four extremes are fivefold!"
Jiang Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and stood up:
"In this case, I am qualified to teach Lieutenant Lu. ”
Lu Yu's eyes were annoyed:
"Jiang Zhutou has a big breath!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and asked:
"I don't know how the county lieutenant Lu compares himself to the leader of the Great River Gang, Di Xudong of the Four Extremes Realm and the Eight Extremes?"
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said:
"Di Xu's name as the number one master of Dongyang City has also been heard of by the official of Ye County, although his skills cannot be compared to him for the time being, but this official will soon achieve great achievements, or it will not be long before he can reach the eightfold realm of the Four Extremes!
Jiang Yuan smiled, stepped forward and patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said:
"County Lieutenant Lu, that Di Xudong is not as powerful as you think. One of his biggest weaknesses is that he can't fight. I didn't get twenty punches before I killed him. ”
Lu Yu trembled and looked at Jiang Yuan incredulously:
"You will ...... Di Xudong was killed, you are talking nonsense!"
Jiang Yuan said with a smile:
"County Lieutenant Lu, it seems that you are not very well-informed. If you want to ask me for advice, you have to get to know me first. ”
The two officials who came with Jiang Yuan also spoke at this time:
"Jiang Zhutou didn't talk nonsense, then Di Xudong didn't abide by the law and discipline, and he has been corrected by Jiang Zhutou himself!"
"Everyone in Yangcheng knows about this matter, and the Dahe Gang has also been eradicated by Jiang Zhutou! Now the number one master in Yangcheng is our Jiang Zhutou!"
After hearing this, Lu Yu's face kept changing, blue and white.
He originally thought that the masters of Yangcheng were only Di Xudong, Xia Mingxuan and Zhou Cunjian. I really didn't put a headhunter out of thin air in my eyes, let alone bother to investigate.
Who would have thought that this is such a newcomer with such strong strength.
Being able to beat Di Xudong to death is at least the strength of the Kaiyuan realm.
And with such strength, I can't compete with it at all. And he even said that he wanted to learn from him......
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't speak for a while, and stood in place awkwardly.
Jiang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned to Lan Xuan and said:
"I don't know ...... Blue Girl and Dong Chongjun"
Lan Xuan said with a smile:
Jiang Zhutou is just good at laughing, the little woman is just a side of the Lan family, and she doesn't dare to have much to do with Junshang. It's Jiang Zhutou, who turned out to be a disciple of the Jing family, so we will have to get closer to each other in the future. ”
Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this Lan Xuan to know about his situation. He laughed and said:
"It seems that Miss Blue's news is far more informed than I imagined. In fact, I still can't believe that I have a relationship with Jing's. ”
When Lu Yu on the side heard this, he looked at Jiang Yuan in horror:
"You...... You're still ...... Children of the Gong Family?!"
If Jiang Yuan was only a martial artist in the Kaiyuan Realm, although Lu Yu didn't dare to compete with him, at least he still had a lot of resentment in his heart.
And now that Lan Xuan knew that Jiang Yuan still had the power of inheritance, then Lu Yu's resentment had disappeared.
A person with the power of inheritance is no longer a warrior who can compete with him.
Even if his position was strengthened by Jiang Yuan, Lu Yu would no longer complain, he would only take it for granted.
After the shock, Lu Yu sighed, straightened his clothes, and then saluted Jiang Yuan respectfully:
"Jiang Zhutou, I have offended many people before...... I also hope that Jiang will forgive me. ”
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"In the future, everyone will be colleagues and do things together. I also hope that the county lieutenant Lu will give me a lot of advice. ”
Lu Yu's waist bends deeper:
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
The two officials standing behind Jiang Yuan couldn't help but hold their heads high, feeling that Lu Yu's attitude at this time was the right attitude.
........................................................................................
The carriage carried Fei Qingquan all the way out of the city and towards the suburbs.
Ye County is lower than Yang County, and when the Xuan River swells, the county is hardly affected, while Ye County is often flooded.
Therefore, the sacrifice of the river god in Ye County is far more solemn than that of Yang County.
On the outskirts of Yecheng, he spent a lot of money to build a huge temple of Hebo to worship Hebo.
And now, the Hebo Temple has become the temporary palace of Dong Chongjun, and the target of Fei Qingquan is also here.
After the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a strong smell of blood came to the face.
I saw that on the loess clearing outside the temple, more than ten sharp long poles were erected, and some men and women hung on the long poles. The crows gathered and pounced on the men and women to peck at them, splashing some sticky blood from high altitudes from time to time.
Fei Qingquan frowned when he saw this scene, he knew that these were all slaves who had been punished by Dong Chongjun.
The feudal lord has absolute rights within his fiefdom.
Dong Chongjun's behavior has long been heard of by the world, he is brutal and tyrannical, and tortures and kills living people not only for sacrifice, but more often just to satisfy his perverted desires.
