Chapter 184: Wang Heng arrives
Wang Du wondered, he knew from Wang Feng that the city lord of Donglin City was this Yue Zifeng, but why did this Yue Zifeng, who was highly praised among the people and was regarded as a saint by the people, become a heinous villain in the mouths of Wang Feng and Xu Hu?
"Brother Wang Feng, although I have been in Donglin City for less than a day, I have heard many people talk about this Yuezifeng, and the people's words are very good, and he is even regarded as a saint, I don't know why he has become a wicked person in your mouth?"
Wang Du had doubts, so he asked Wang Feng directly, he didn't call Wang Feng the Twelfth Highness, or the Twelve Princes, but still called Wang Feng a brother.
Wang Du was originally a person who crossed over, so naturally he didn't know the taboos, so when he called Wang Feng as a brother, Xu Hu on the side couldn't help frowning, obviously Xu Hu thought that Wang Du's title for Wang Feng was a little inappropriate.
It's just that Wang Du has a lot of background, and his own twelve highnesses don't seem to dislike Wang Du calling him this way, so Xu Hu couldn't help it and didn't do what that stunned young man would do.
"Brother Wang Du, do you know that there was a natural disaster in the area of Donglin City this year, and the crops were almost not harvested, and many ordinary people suffered from natural disasters?" Wang Fengmei was a little heartbroken, a little compassionate, and a little self-blame, this kind of self-blame was probably because he was a royal family but could not save the people from the dire situation.
Wang Du didn't speak, he just nodded slightly, and at the same time he recalled everything that happened in the small village that night, but the ordinary small village was like purgatory on earth, so that Wang Du, a six-rank immortal master, could only choose to escape.
Seeing Wang Du's solemn expression, Wang Feng continued to say some things, and Wang Du knew more terrifying things from Wang Feng's mouth, and at the same time, a monstrous killing intent unconsciously emanated from Wang Du's body, this killing intent made everyone present except Wang Feng and Xu Hu feel cold all over their bodies, and it was difficult for them to imagine why this small-looking teenager would exude such a terrifying killing intent.
Wang Feng is not afraid of this killing intent because he can feel great compassion from Wang Du's killing intent, and to eliminate evil is to do good, which is also Wang Feng's code of conduct.
And Xu Hu is not afraid of this killing intent because he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and this kind of perennial bloody soldier has an instinctive immunity to killing intent.
The reason why Wang Du exuded such murderous intent was because he had never heard of a person who could be so sick!
Here's the thing, Donglin City and several surrounding towns and cities have suffered natural disasters, many towns are relying on the relief of the royal family to survive, but this Donglin City has not made any request for assistance to the royal family, and the people of Donglin City are living almost the same as the average year.
This was originally a good thing, and the Emperor of Tianfeng even mentioned Yue Zifeng, the lord of Donglin City, many times, saying that this person loved the people like a son, and he was of great use, and he was ready to be promoted and reused for him.
However, things are often like this, and the ugliness and squalor are always hidden under the good things, just like the light and the darkness, which are black and white but cannot exist separately from each other.
Just when the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind met the virtuous minister, a secret report was placed on his dragon case, and it was this secret report that made the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind send Wang Heng to investigate Yue Zifeng, and at the same time let his twelve sons Wang Feng accompany him to practice.
The things reported in this secret report made the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind angry, originally according to the style of the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind, he would not send Wang Heng to verify at all, but would directly order the killing of Yue Zifeng, but because he had praised Yue Zifeng in the court many times, so the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind would let Wang Heng secretly investigate Yue Zifeng, in order to give an explanation to the courtiers.
Because the virtuous ministers who had praised them a few days ago were suddenly ordered to be killed, and the courtiers who didn't know the cause and effect were afraid that they would think that the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind was a moody faint monarch.
It is not difficult to kill the lord of a city, and it is enough for the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind to speak casually, but to convince the courtiers, it is not something that can be done with an oracle or a secret report, but ironclad evidence!
Wang Feng followed Wang Heng to investigate near Donglin City, and they first investigated several villages according to the secret report, and these villages became purgatory on earth as written in the secret report, and the culprit of this situation was Yue Zifeng, the lord of Donglin City.
It turned out that for the sake of his false name, Yue Zifeng secretly sent people to loot the grain storage of large and small villages near Donglin City, and he searched all the grain storage in these villages and used it to distribute it to the people in Donglin City, in order to create a false impression of a saint for himself.
In order to survive, the villagers had to do something that violated the common senses of heaven and earth, like wild beasts that had no humanity and only had the instinct to survive.
Moreover, Yue Zifeng not only searched for their food, but even arrested all the young and beautiful women and strong men, and then quietly sold them to a far away place as slaves, and at the same time purchased some food from those places to maintain the daily needs of Donglin City.
Therefore, the Yue Zifeng in Wang Feng's mouth is completely different from the Yue Zifeng in the mouth of the people of Donglin City, the former is a wicked person who deserves death, and the latter is a saint who loves the people like a son.
After listening to Wang Feng's story, Wang Du's face was gloomy, and he couldn't figure out why there was such a contradictory person as Yue Zifeng in the world.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent, and I don't know how long it was, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock"
"Knock Knock Knock"
This time, Wang Du did not go to the door to greet him because of his heavy mood, but a man in black went to open the door, and the person who knocked on the door was none other than Wang Heng, the seventh prince of the Tianfeng Empire.
As soon as Wang Heng entered the house, he saw Wang Du, Xu Hu had already told him about smallpox in the summons just now, so he would return here so quickly.
"Little brother, let's meet again!" Wang Heng's face was not good, he forcibly suppressed his anger and greeted Wang Du, of course, Wang Heng's anger was not directed at Wang Du, but because of the beastly behavior committed by Yue Zifeng.
Wang Du is not the kind of person who does not know things, he knows very well what Wang Heng feels at this time, how can a soldier like him who guards the land with his life endure the fact that the lord of a city in his country does such a thing that is inferior to a pig and a dog, at this moment Wang Heng can still suppress his anger and greet himself, it is already very difficult.
"I've seen the handsome" Wang Du got up and gave up, firstly because Wang Heng was older, and secondly, because Wang Heng made him respect from the bottom of his heart, so he did not call Wang Heng the seventh prince, but called Wang Heng the handsome like Xu Hu, what can make him respect will never be Wang Heng's royal identity, but Wang Heng's indelible merits.
