Chapter 32 Two lines!
The fifth day.
Zhao Futu and the bandit leader traveled all night, and finally arrived at a county town near Heifeng Village early the next morning. This county town was extremely ruined, and was different from those that Zhao Futu had experienced before.
It's still a bit angry, not to mention the people coming and going, but at least the shops on both sides of the street are almost open.
But what about this county town? Not to mention people on the streets, not even a ghost can be seen...
"What's going on? Why is there no one here?" Zhao Futu frowned, feeling that there was a lot of trouble in this county.
The bandit leader followed carefully all the time. Although he was dragged all night long and was now as tired as a dead dog, this hard work was nothing compared to his own life.
He had been to this place before, and now he looked extremely desolate, with empty streets on both sides and not a single open shop. He couldn't help but feel a little scared!
"Hero? Is it because the government has increased taxes?" The robber leader looked around with his head and stature, but he saw some figures behind the window, but he didn't know why he didn't dare to come out. Even the door was closed.
Sealed tightly.
He looked puzzled and said, "My hero! I heard that the county magistrate here is extremely greedy for money. He seizes land, seizes women of the people, collects taxes randomly, and does all kinds of evil! It is said that anyone who comes to his yamen to report a case will be punished.
Thirty big bucks have to be struck first, and only those who can afford the money can be exempted from the buck. No matter the circumstances of the case, regardless of the defendant or the plaintiff, whoever gives more money will be judged right!"
"Could it be that he did something outrageous again? That scared them so much that they didn't dare to go out in broad daylight?"
Zhao Futu's face grew colder. He raised his head and looked over there, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! There is a noise over Caishikou. Let's go over and have a look!"
The two of them quickly felt the entrance to the food market.
Immediately, they saw a group of police officers in a mess. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and a headless corpse wearing official robes with a fat head and big ears was lying in the middle of the execution platform at Caishikou. This plot
How many times have you seen the official uniform of Zhao Futu in the plane? There is a white crane embroidered on the official palace. It is clearly the official uniform of the seventh-grade county magistrate, and the headless corpse on the ground is actually the magistrate of the county here?
"What's going on?" Zhao Futu looked quite surprised and said, "Go over and find someone to ask."
The bandit leader was also a human spirit. He quickly ran over and grabbed a person and asked him.
After a moment, he walked over with a longing expression on his face, winked at Zhao Futu, and the two of them headed towards the small restaurant on the south side of the city. The restaurant was originally closed, but why?
Unexpectedly, the bandit leader kicked the door open, put his knife on the table, and ordered the owner of the restaurant to bring good wine and food.
Zhao Futu didn't pay much attention to this. If he didn't let him be tougher, the two of them would have been kicked out by the restaurant owner, without even a place to stay and eat. The world is stupid. Sometimes it's not you who can speak nicely.
It makes sense, otherwise there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world, and everyone could just sit down and talk. This is the truth.
"Hero! Master! Master!" The bandit leader sat down, his face full of excitement, and lowered his voice: "That Caishikou was originally going to be executed today, and he was another poor scapegoat! But he didn't.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to be executed, a bearded knight actually descended from the sky! The sword in the knight's hand flashed, and a flying sword shot out, directly hitting the heads of the three dog officials, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant.
Cut them all down!"
"The expert killed three dog officers in one breath, which immediately frightened the nerves of those government officials!"
"This man is like a swordsman. They can deal with him there. So they just watched the master save the scapegoat in Caishikou, and then walked away!"
"Those shops are afraid to open their doors precisely because they heard about the murders at Caishikou!"
"They knew it was the county magistrate who died, and many people clapped and celebrated. If they hadn't been held accountable, I'm afraid there would have been firecrackers outside by now."
When the bandit leader said this, he sighed and said, "Oh! But the county magistrate is killed, so I'm afraid there will be a bunch of scapegoats."
Killing an official is a serious crime equivalent to rebellion!
Although it was very satisfying for the expert to kill the dog officer, no one was going to clean up the mess behind it. It is estimated that it will not be long before innocent people are affected. After all, in such a big case, there must be a scapegoat to take the blame!
"Beard?"
Zhao Futu did not speak. This world is beyond his control. Contractors can only stay in this plane for ten days and a half at most. For them, the original inhabitants of the plot, they are simply a group of passers-by. The so-called 'country'
If you are about to perish, there must be evildoers. This plane is already approaching the time of trouble.
Some historical trends cannot be reversed by human power!
"Is that bearded man Yan Chixia? Could it be that he just passed by here?" Zhao Futu felt happy and suddenly felt that he had found the right path.
Since Yan Chixia will appear here, Lanruo Temple must be approaching soon.
With Yan Chixia's forthright and outspoken character, she would definitely be able to kill officials and rob the court of justice!
After the two had a meal of wine and meat, Zhao Futu took out a piece of silver and threw it on the ground, then waved to the shop owner who was waiting carefully to come over and ask questions. It must be said that the world does bully the weak and fear the strong, and he has brought such a person with him ever since.
After the villains attacked, which one of the passing shops was not very kind and helpful, specially bringing the ordered food and drinks?
If he had spoken kind words along the way, I don’t know how many stares he would have received.
Only the evil people in this world have a good life!
"Come here! Is there any important news coming from the past recently?" Zhao Futu beckoned the frightened shop owner over and asked.
The owner of the shop was a fat man in his forties or fifties. Hearing this, he wiped his cold sweat with his hand, glanced at the sword on the table, and his back suddenly became even more bent. He bent towards Zhao Futu, with a charming look on his face.
He said with a genuine smile: "Hero! There is no important news recently."
"If there is, it is Fu Tianqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was demoted to Dangzhi County in Lingnan! In addition to Fu Tianchou, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, several other high-ranking officials were demoted to other places, and some were even directly imprisoned.
"
Fu Tianchou?
Zhao Futu felt familiar when he heard the name, and suddenly thought, isn't this the character in the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story?
Fu Tianchou was taken to the capital for questioning, so his two daughters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi prepared to plant a trap in Zhengqi Villa to arrest him. However, they happened to meet Ning Caichen who had just escaped from the prison at that time, and then they
This is the beginning of the main storyline in Part 2 of A Chinese Ghost Story! Fu Tianchou is definitely an important figure in the relationship!
"Could it be said that the Imperial Preceptor transformed from the thousand-year-old centipede has entered the court?" Zhao Futu was shocked when he thought of this, and found that the water in this plane was really deep.
Compared with the boss Thousand-Year Centipede in the second part, the Dryad Granny and the Black Mountain Old Demon are extremely weak.
What people do is a deed that brings disaster to the country and the people. If it really succeeds, a dynasty will end like this. And it can also use the death of the dynasty to steal the dragon energy of the emperor, and then use the dragon energy to transform into a dragon and ascend! This
This was also an important reason why Yan Chixia later said that it was a 'big centipede that was about to turn into a dragon'! The national master transformed from the essence of a thousand-year centipede was so awesome that he could even pass it off as the Tathagata Buddha, so his magic power could not be called low!
"It seems that the pre-plot of the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story has been automatically completed." Although Zhao Futu knew that Fu Tianchou might have side missions, but now there are not even the main missions of the first part of A Chinese Ghost Story.
Expand, instead of going all the way to find Fu Tianqiu's thread, it is better to hurry up and find Lanruo Temple.
Fifty miles outside the county seat, there is a stretch of mountains.
There is a stronghold with hundreds of people in the mountains, which is the Black Wind Stronghold mentioned by the bandit leader.
Zhao Futu directly carried him across mountains and rivers, and finally arrived outside the Heifeng Village at noon. The Heifeng Village was just like an ordinary bandit village, with a fence outside and private houses made of bamboo and wood inside. The inside of the Heifeng Village was not
They were all fierce and strong men, and they were not all bachelors. There were also women, children and the elderly inside, just like in an ordinary village. When Zhao Futu came, he also saw a few peasant women washing clothes by the stream.
In this era, many bandits and robbers turned into bandits. They were farmers who were forced to do nothing by heavy taxes, but ordinary farmers were still the same.
Most of the people who really fell into trouble were those with big clan names!
The Central Plains is a place that pays attention to the inheritance of clans. Many villages and towns have a common surname. These common surnames are all uncles and uncles, and there are also some family farming methods. Of course, this is just a self-effacing statement. Generally speaking, among the local common surnames,
It is certain that there are a lot of martial arts inheritance. In fact, in the final analysis, these bandits who turned into bandits are local tycoons whose family wealth is not rich enough, or who have fallen into decline.
For example, this is the case in Heifeng Village!
Zhao Futu wasted too much time on this journey, and he didn't have the patience to do so much at this time. He sealed the bandit leader's acupuncture points and went straight into the Black Wind Stronghold single-handedly. As soon as he entered the door, there was a loud noise.
The alarm bell came, and then a group of burly men with weapons in their hands came out. Some of them were holding the weapons of the officials. It seemed that they had even robbed people in the government!
Facing such a group of ordinary martial arts practitioners, Zhao Futu felt no pressure at all and just swung his sword to kill them.
The leader of the Black Wind Village was an eight-foot-tall black-faced man, holding a pair of double axes in his hands. There were signs of true energy running on his body, and he obviously had a foundation of internal strength.
Zhao Futu rushed into the crowd and captured him with three strikes.
