Chapter 621 Scum!
The reason why Qianniu Town is called Qianniu Town is because of its extremely developed cattle herding industry. The town has a reserve of thousands of beef cattle, which is the main source of the entire town’s economy.
But after Mu Yang came here, let alone cows, he didn't even see a piece of cow dung. This is quite strange. Now it seems that it is very likely to be related to the newly replaced city lord.
"The new city lord, named Chen Qing, was originally a big family in Qinzhou City. Last year, the clan challenged the original Zhao family's city lord's mansion and seized the position of the city lord."
Mu Yang narrowed his eyes and fell into thinking. Although he didn't know about this, he knew that cities or small countries under Luoyue Valley were allowed to fight.
Only with struggle can there be pressure and force the rulers to work harder and achieve better development. For other forces, allowing the power to seize control by relying on strength is itself an incentive, and a balance and constraint will be formed between the parties, and mutual promotion will become stronger.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Chen Qing challenging the Zhao family, and it is reasonable.
There is no problem with this system itself, but it is inevitable that people with inappropriate minds will forget to do whatever they want after gaining power.
There are too many places under Luoyue Valley, and it is impossible to check them one by one, so there are some stains, which is common.
I think this Chen Qing may not be a good person.
The woman continued: "Since Chen Qing came to power, he has been squandering and indecent, and ordered the tax on all subordinate villages and towns to triple! A special tax collection guard was also established to seek taxes everywhere. These people were basically some of the former gangsters and gangsters, and their methods were very cruel."
Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help but shed tears of grievance, "You said, how could we take out so much tax? The tax guard comes every half month. Within two months, the funds in our town were broken and all the cattle were sold, but it was still not enough to pay the tax. Later, we really couldn't afford the money, so they started beating people and even said to catch the young girls to pay off their debts."
By this time, she was already sobbing and her handkerchief was wet. "Then... wuwu, then everyone disagrees. They can't let them ruin the children. The men resist, but there are opponents of these robbers. The men were crippled, and many others were beaten to death. They snatched many girls to the city and said they were serving the city lord, but who doesn't know that the future of these children is gone!"
After hearing this, Mu Yang felt his chest was so stuffy that he was holding a ball of fire, and his fists were trembling tightly.
"We had no choice but to hide some of the children, so we protected some of them. Some people left their hometowns and left Qianniu Town. However, how can we survive if we are poor families like us, without a native place!"
Mu Yang's nails were almost embedded in his flesh, and his anger was already surging in his body. "Didn't you think about reporting to Luoyue Valley? As far as I know, the city lord of Qinzhou City is also controlled by Luoyue Valley."
The woman tried hard to calm herself down, "Who dares? Officials protect each other, who cares about the lives and death of our ordinary people? Everyone says that Chen Qing was protected by Luoyue Valley and gave benefits to Luoyue Valley. Otherwise, if he was so careless, how could no one care about it!"
At this time, Mu Yang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring her, he would have wanted to overturn the entire house. Chen Qing was not only notorious, but also smeared Luoyuegu!
As a parent official, he should seek welfare for the people, but Chen Qing did all the consciences and regarded himself as a local emperor and harming the people. It was really worse than animals!
At this time, Mu Yang finally understood what Luo Yue meant that these cities would be dealt with soon. It turned out that these disciples were the key to the handling.
Although this is not Mu Yang's mission, since he has encountered it and is directly linked to Luoyue Valley's reputation, he must not ignore it.
But Mu Yang was also curious about why Luoyue Valley had not discovered this matter? With Luoyue and the elders' personalities, it would be strange if they knew the truth and didn't tear Chen Qing apart.
At the same time, the elders far away in Luoyue Valley Hall were all gloomy and terrifying, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely depressed.
Lao Xue was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he slapped the armrest of the seat with a bang, and cursed angrily: "Beast, beast! This beast that should be cut into pieces is actually worthy of being an official under my rule in Luoyue Valley! Who is responsible for Qinzhou City? It has been a year, and we have not received any news! This is still under our noses! Why is this!"
At this time, Wu Yuanfeng coughed and said awkwardly: "I am responsible."
"You..." Lao Xue wanted to scold him, but he was the eldest elder, and Wu Yuanfeng has always been rigorous in his work, so he should not make such a mistake.
Wu Yuanfeng stood up and said solemnly: "This is indeed my negligence. Since the battle between the city lords last year, the internal friction of Qinzhou City has been too large, and the economy in the city has almost collapsed. The rating has naturally been reduced and the attention has been reduced. The task of on-site inspection has been handed over to another city. We only receive written reports, so it is very likely that the two sides will collude and deceive their superiors and subordinates, and this has been concealed for a year."
After all, the manpower in Luoyue Valley is still limited. If you want to effectively manage so many places, it is impossible to do it yourself. You must use some local power. Therefore, this phenomenon of high-level cities managing low-level cities is very common.
And this also leaves room for survival for these things that cannot be seen.
This also sounded a wake-up call for the elders, and it was time to conduct a large-scale sweeping investigation.
But before that, we have to deal with the Qinzhou City in front of us.
Wu Yuanfeng said: "First see how Mu Yang deals with it. If he handles it this time, he will record it according to the credit. Then I will send someone to find out the matter and help Mu Yang if necessary."
With Wu Yuanfeng's arrangement, everyone's emotions were slightly relieved. Such a thing happened, and it was simply slapping them in the face, which was a stain on Luoyue Valley.
Lao Xue's eyes fell on Mu Yang again, and he muttered silently in his heart: Mu Yang, this time you must show me some responsibility as a disciple of Luoyue Valley. If you dare to sit idly, I will definitely ruin you."
Xiaoqi, who was standing beside him, patted Lao Xue on the shoulder and squeezed out a smile, "Don't worry, Mu Yang will not disappoint us."
Chen Yingzhi also added, "Yes, although Mu Yang is afraid of things, he hates evil and distinguishes right from wrong, and believes in him."
