Chapter 63: Punishing Evil Officials
The route drawn up by the two was to first go north, taking the northernmost city of Hancheng as a turning point, then heading south, and finally returning to the place where the valley was located. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The trip basically passes through a third of the country's cities.
Gu Feng and Ling Yi are expected to return to the valley in about a year.
The two of them set out from the sect and spent five days to come to the first city.
The castle is not big, but it is very distinctive, and it is full of strong farmhouse flavor. The name of the town is Hakka Town.
The buildings in the city are very rustic, and the houses are all made of mud, and few houses use bricks and stones.
"Xiao Feng, why don't the people here build houses with stones, isn't that stronger?" Ling was still like a curious baby, curious about everything in Hakka City.
Gu Feng shook his head, he didn't know very well, the architecture here was indeed a bit strange, and it was incomprehensible.
found an inn, the two settled, and Gu Feng called Xiao Er.
"What do you command, this guest officer? "Xiao Er's appearance is very respectful.
"Let me ask you, why are all the houses and buildings in this Hakka town made of mud?" asked Gu Feng.
"Alas, this guest officer, this matter is a long story, and it is better not to inquire about it, so as not to cause you trouble. Xiao Er sighed, as if he was reluctant to mention the matter of Gu Feng's inquiry.
"It's okay, you just have to tell me. Gu Feng smiled, took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it in Xiao Er's hand.
Xiao Er was shocked, he didn't expect Gu Feng to be so generous, his attitude immediately changed, it was more than ten times better than before, and took Gu Feng and the two of them to a private room.
"This lord, if you really want to know, I will tell you that our guest town was not like this before, although the city is small, but it is very prosperous, no worse than those big towns. But ten years ago, a new city lord came here, his first order after taking office was to collect all the bricks and stones and other building items in the city, as for what the reason was, he did not explain to us, from that day on, the disaster in the city came, whether it was the masonry on the house or the masonry on the ground were sent by the city lord to collect, a few years, the Hakka City has become what it is now, only the city lord's mansion and the city wall are made of bricks and stones, and the rest are basically made of mud. Xiao Er told Gu Feng the reason why Kexiang City became like this.
Ling Yi and Gu Feng were surprised, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
"Then no one came out to oppose and stop this city lord?" asked Gu Feng suspiciously.
Xiao Er sighed and said: "Yes, there have been, but how can the people fight against the officials, those who raised objections were all killed by the city lord, and no one dared to stand up since then." ”
Gu Feng nodded, didn't say anything, ordered a few side dishes, and asked Xiao Er to retreat.
"Xiaofeng, this city lord is too hateful, you must teach him a lesson. Ling was still angry, waving his little fist.
"At Madame's behest. Gu Feng said with a smile, in fact, Gu Feng, as the Emperor of the Wind, has a relationship of worship with Dongfang Yi, and he will not ignore this kind of thing, and he will inevitably intervene.
After having dinner with Ling Yi, the two of them went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
The extravagant architecture and the environment of the Hakka town seem incompatible, so that you can see the style of this city lord.
Gu Feng also wondered, this place is not far from the imperial city, this city lord has been doing evil here for more than ten years, and no one has reported him, how hard is the backstage.
With doubts in their hearts, Gu Feng and Ling Yi came to the front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What kind of person? This is the city lord's mansion, and idlers are not allowed to enter. The two soldiers guarding the door stopped Gu Feng and Ling Yi.
Gu Feng didn't talk nonsense with the two guards at the door, and directly took out the token of the Wind Emperor.
The name of the Wind Emperor is now known throughout the country.
After Gu Feng killed King Ping's left army, Dongfang Yi issued a holy decree explaining the status of the Wind Emperor, but did not reveal the real name of the Wind Emperor.
"You... You are the Wind Emperor. The guards were frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, seeing the Wind Emperor as if they were seeing the emperor, how could the soldiers of this small city not be afraid.
"Take me to your lord. Gu Feng said lightly.
"Yes. The guards didn't dare to hesitate, and went directly to find the city lord of Hakka City with Gu Feng.
No one doubts the identity of Gu Feng, because the token of the Wind Emperor is specially made and cannot be imitated, so the guards are sure that Gu Feng is the Wind Emperor.
Following the guards, Gu Feng and Ling still met the city lord of Hakka City.
It was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, very rich, and gave people the impression that he was lazy to eat.
At first, the city lord was a little dissatisfied when he saw the guards coming with two strangers, so he didn't inform him, so he brought two strangers into the mansion, which was really unruly.
But after knowing that the man in front of him was the Wind Emperor, the city lord had no temper at all, and greeted him with a smile, very respectful.
"I don't know what the Wind Emperor came here for. The fat city lord smiled,
"I want to ask the city lord, I don't know what you are collecting all the bricks and stones of Hakka City for, don't you want the people to live?"
The fat city lord's originally smiling face also changed color under Gu Feng's questioning, his two eyes were dripping and rolling, and then he resumed his smile and said, "This Wind Emperor doesn't know that this brick and stone was collected to be sent to the border area and used to strengthen the city wall. ”
Gu Feng smiled, but the Holy Lin dagger in his hand appeared directly, and between the lightning and flint, it was on the neck of the city lord of Hakka City.
"What does Lord Wind Emperor mean by this?" The fat city lord's face turned cold, and he was not frightened by the threat of Gu Feng, he was very calm.
"If Dongfang Yi uses the bricks and tiles of the people to strengthen the border wall, then it is not Dongfang Yi, what is it for? Otherwise, you will definitely die today. Gu Feng's voice was cold.
The momentum of the ancient wind rose sharply, and the holy dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely on the thigh of the city lord.
A scream rang out, attracting the guards in the city lord's mansion.
"Let go of the city lord. The soldiers who rushed in shouted.
Gu Feng smiled lightly, took out the token of the Wind Emperor again, and said coldly to these guards: "I am the Wind Emperor, this person is pretending to be public and private, and harming the lives of the people, and now that I have found out, do you want to protect him?"
Being reprimanded by Gu Fengyi, these soldiers were a little overwhelmed, on the one hand, the city lord, and on the other hand, the wind emperor, they didn't know how to choose.
"Haven't you had enough of the oppression of this city lord? Ling still spoke suddenly.
This sentence was undoubtedly fatal, many of the soldiers were locals, and their houses were forcibly demolished and turned into mud houses that could not block the wind or rain.
Many soldiers chose to retreat, ignoring the crazy roars of the city lord there...
The knot said: The city is based on the mud of the guest country, and it is difficult to tolerate the ghost ministers
