Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth man with a thousand faces

The killing in Yongqing County Government was more precisely a massacre. The gentry and merchants invited to attend the Hongmen Banquet were so heartbroken that they didn't dare not eat that meal, but they were all unwilling to eat. When they were released from the county government government, there were no one who knew how to do so.

Especially the scene where the uncle, Xiao Jingxian, was cut off his head by Xiao Jingxian. Many people think that it would definitely become the most terrifying nightmare in their life. However, they thought that after killing the chicken to warn the monkey, they would definitely encounter the desperate situation of being forced to lose military expenditure, but they did not expect that Xiao Jingxian would kill people first, after dinner, and then left them like that, and they actually escaped.

After all, they witnessed their own eyes that the current national uncle was killed by the previous generation national uncle. If they were forced to donate their family funds, they would be completely tied to Xiao Jingxian, a ship that could sink at any time. It is precisely because of this that when Xiao Jin personally "gifted" them, he mentioned again that Yongqing City would open the city gate and not enter, most people would have a glimmer of luck.

Could it be that Xiao Jingxian... really didn't plan to keep them difficult, but planned to let them leave at will?

Early the next morning, a soldier who was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night and packed his luggage overnight and planned to leave Seruan, gritted his teeth and brought his wealth and friends to the gate of the north city. He expressed his willingness to leave the city trembled. He originally thought that even if he could leave, he would have been peeled off a layer of skin. But what he never expected was that the guards just checked casually and waved their hands and let them go.

Now, the families who had already sent people to spy on the movements at the city gate could no longer bear it. For a moment, these local gentry who were well-known in Yongqing, or those who were rich in other places and started their business through trade, all heard the news and quickly gathered people, and brought the bags they had already prepared for a long time to run away.

Because there were too many people hoping to leave Yongqing City where the Great Demon King was located, the city gates from all directions were crowded with these gentry merchants who were moving, and the uninterrupted scene was almost comparable to escaping. Even when the people in the city saw this scene, they ran around and told each other, and many ordinary people had plans to leave home to avoid the war.

But at this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums coming from the streets, followed by a good news that no one expected. However, King Xiao Jingxian of Jin, in the name of the current unknown emperor, told the whole city that anyone who left Yongqing City would have their houses, lands, and furnishings and artifacts, which would be divided by the government and distributed to the soldiers in the army and the warriors who were willing to join the army to suppress the rebellion.

As soon as the news came out, the poor people who were still worried about leaving their hometowns, wishing that all the people in the city who had a little property would get out, free up their houses, and leave the fields for them. So, at the moment when the large number of people left Yongqing City, a long queue was lined up at the gate of the military camp, and there were no one knowing how many barefoot men were waiting to join the army.

Among the people who rushed out of the city, Xiao Jing ordered the news to be divided by Xiao Jing first. Although he was stingy, he hated him, but as long as he had a little brain, he would not only not be angry, but he felt happy.

His brother-in-law served as deputy guard in Nanjing City, but successfully left Mr. Chen in Yongqing City, and then burst into laughter. Therefore, when he saw several concubines crying, he scolded him impatiently.

"Those mud legs have ruined the houses so badly that they ruined the best furniture and decorations in our houses, but can they move those houses and fields? When we come back, will it be ours or ours!"

"Besides, our houses and fields have been occupied. Just ask my brother-in-law to say a few good words in front of the new king. This level has been passed. Compared to being swept by Xiao Jingxian and treated him as a traitor, this result is good enough! So, everyone cheered me up and went to see the old man personally! When he just left the city, he was in chaos. Don't disturb him!"

So, in front of the most spacious carriage in the convoy, Mr. Chen, his two younger brothers and nephews came to ask about his well-being, but they only received a vague reply. Everyone knows that Mr. Chen is nearly 90 years old this year. Sometimes he is clear about consciousness, sometimes he is drowsy, likes to live alone, and does not love too many people, so no one of them gets into the car to accompany him.

Waiting for the group of people to go back to their own carriage, get on horseback, or be busy with the matter on the road, the old man who was originally lying comfortably in the spacious carriage laughed and smiled at the young man who looked like a waiter beside him and said, "Did you see it? Next we can wait to enter Nanjing City with peace of mind."

Yue Qianqiu took a deep breath and asked in confusion: "Where is the real Old Master Chen?"

"There are not so many people in this world." Xiao Jingxian sneered and said lightly, "I have no such person at first, and even the bones are probably completely clean. But I think this identity is good and can be used to hide when needed, so I moved flowers and trees and found someone who is loyal to me but has suffered all his life to put it in the Chen family, so that he can enjoy the blessing of being served. Let me say first, that person is already considered a long-lasting life, and I have not killed anyone."

If Xiao Jingxian said that the old man Chen had been temporarily transferred to another place, even if he said that he had silenced the person, Yue Qianqiu would at most mutter in his heart that this guy was so cruel and rude, and he would not have really sought justice for the irrelevant people. However, Xiao Jingxian gave such an answer that he had completely unexpected, further interpreting the word "Demon King".

He couldn't help asking, "You are so different from the old man in the seventies and eighties. Are you not afraid of being exposed?"

"A person who either lie down and serves is also a dedicated person. He or she walks around the house occasionally and is a auspicious old man. How many people will look carefully? As long as you work hard on your face, hands and feet, and be careful when wearing clothes, you will not reveal any flaws at all."

Faced with such an extremely irresponsible answer, Yue Qianqiu felt a move in his heart, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have many disguised identity like this?"

"Not many." Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, and then added, "For example, Xiao Qingqing, who had disappeared for more than ten years, is also one of the identities I used to hide. However, I didn't expect her to live so tenaciously. But I finally didn't let me reveal my feelings at the critical moment. I had to urgently clean up those identities before, so as not to meet someone like Xiao Qingqing again."

Yue Qianqiu finally understood that Xiao Jingxian is not just a capricious personality and has many changes. This person has countless identities and can be changed as needed anytime and anywhere. If he really applies to other people's lives like this, this guy's personality will not be distorted, it would be strange if he is not a madman!

Xiao Jingxian yawned lazily in Yue Qianqiu's gaze that looked like a madman: "Okay, the coachman and the guards outside are their own people, so you don't have to be too alert. I guess you haven't had a good time in Yongqing these days, so I snore so loudly yesterday. Go to bed, I will naturally call you. Compared to Yongqing, your master is more likely to be in Nanjing."

When Xiao Jing mentioned Yan Xu first, his heart almost beat violently, but then he pressed it down hard. He hummed impatiently, then slapped his head on his knees, as if he was closing his eyes and resting.

However, a slit was slightly opened in the corner of his eyes, intending to observe Xiao Jingxian's subsequent reaction. When he saw that the person was still moving, he was sure that the person had not yet met with him or teased him.

As a close servant beside "Old Master Chen", Yue Qianqiu caused unnecessary trouble in order to prevent flaws from being exposed. Unless necessary, he tried not to leave the carriage unless necessary. However, he found that most of the Chen family instinctively kept a distance from him, so he relaxed a lot and occasionally went out to breathe, but the thought of making the coachman talk was in vain.

Although Uncle Ying was not talking in the past, he was not a mute. Now this silencer might be missing a tongue!

Therefore, most of the time he sat next to the coachman, looking at the scenery on the road alone, and watching the troubles or obstacles that the Chen family would encounter. However, what made him relaxed and disappointed was that the road was calm and there was no sight of detective riders everywhere, as if it was completely worrying about the alertness of Bazhou City.

Because the supplies and dry food she carried were extremely sufficient, the Chen family and the group passed the city without entering. They set off early in the morning and rested just after sunset. The speed was already very fast compared to the huge crowd of nearly a hundred people. However, Yue Qianqiu, who had been rushing to travel before, still felt that the snail was crawling very slowly. On the evening of the sixth day, he saw the majestic city.

You know, he roughly calculated based on the route on the map, and Yongqing will not exceed two hundred miles from Nanjing!

The coachman who had been silent all the way finally spoke: "Nanjing is here."

Yue Qianqiu almost thought he was a mute. Until he heard this, he was stunned and quickly got into the carriage quickly. He saw that he was sleeping all the way. When the Chen family came to pay their respects, Xiao Jingxian said lightly: "Well, is Nanjing here? Next, let's see if there will be trouble when entering the city. Although he is a relative of the deputy left-behind Nanjing, if the new king really comes, then the title of a deputy left-behind is useless."

As Xiao Jingxian said, because the group came from Yongqing, even though Mr. Chen claimed that his brother-in-law was the deputy guard of Nanjing, the guards at Lin'anmen Gate in Nanjing were not careless at all. He ordered a careful investigation, and refused to let go of anyone from the fine and soft.

Moreover, compared to the casual and unkindness of Yongqing City when he released people out of the city, Yue Qianqiu found from the curtains that the guards at the city gate blatantly fed their personal bags when they checked the large chariots equipped with softness. The rampantness was simply unconcealed.

When they found out that their carriage, an officer opened the car door, lifted the curtain, leaned in and looked at Xiao Jingxian who seemed to be asleep and awake, and suddenly shouted: "Who is this old man?"

Mr. Chen just saw a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers taking advantage of their wickedness, and was indignant. At this moment, he couldn't help but get angry: "That's my father, the father-in-law of the deputy left-behind Lord Sui in Nanjing! He is already ninety years old. If you startle him, let alone me, even my sister and brother-in-law will have to fight you for the best!"

The officer sneered, but saw the old man in the car withered appearance, while the servant beside him was curled up in the corner and shivering. He found a little pleasure from a strong man. He threw the curtain of the car and said angrily: "A dead old man is just a dead old man, how noble! The emperor has arrived, and the deputy left-behind Nanjing is worth nothing now! Just came from Yongqing to you, and they are all arrested in prison for trial for ten days and half a month, so why are you still acting like arbitrary?"

After cursing for a few words, he saw several subordinates wink at him and gestured to him, saying that he had already made full use of what he should have. He then took a few steps back and tapped his chin impatiently: "Let go!"

Although Mr. Chen was so sarcastic that his face turned pale, he was unwilling to make trouble. He asked in the carriage and received a light um as an answer. He felt relieved and hurriedly closed the car door. Then he gestured to the eldest son at the front to lead people forward immediately. At the end, he saw that the long team finally passed the city gate lock hole, and then brought a few followers to catch up.

When he passed by the officer and the city gate guard, he heard a few people talking unscrupulously.

"The emperor is really ambitious. I heard that he plans to move the capital to Nanjing in the future, and this place will be under the feet of the emperor in the future..."

"The rewards offered are even higher! As long as you can lead the way to attack Bazhou, you will be directly awarded the king..."

"As the imperial guards in front of us, we cannot let the soldiers in Nanjing take over the great opportunity to make achievements..."

Although he was just a few words, Mr. Chen obtained a lot of useful information. When he caught up with the team, he was not busy saying this. Instead, he immediately sent someone to his brother-in-law's residence. He had just learned about the investigation in Nanjing City, which was incomparable to Yongqing City before. On the first day after he set off, he sent someone to whip the front station to report the message to his younger brother-in-law, but there was no news. It was very likely that he was either arrested or made other mistakes!

Sure enough, the person sent out to report the news rushed back in a moment, but said that the new king had arrived and there were many civil and military upstarts accompanying him. Therefore, the unlucky deputy left-behind couple had to vacate the house. After learning the news, Mr. Chen was so angry that he felt so sad that his stomach and liver pain were hurt everywhere, but he knew that he was not able to get angry with those top officials and nobles.

Fortunately, the person who went to report the news found the new home of the deputy left-behind couple. Mr. Chen and his group worked hard and finally found the son-in-law's house. When he saw the door that looked extremely shabby than the previous spacious mansion, Mr. Chen felt his throat sore, but what he was even more worried about was another thing.

He brought so many people to join his sister and brother-in-law, how can he live in such a small place?
