Sign-in life from the county magistrate

Page 263

Shen Yu didn't know how many things were hidden inside, but he could imagine that most of these things must be full of danger and uncertainty.

Maybe if something here reveals a little bit, it will cause extremely dire consequences.

I don't need these things, let alone use them.

After quietly watching everything in front of her eyes burn to nothingness, Shen Yu turned and left.

It is better to let everything here be wiped out in the flames.

Chapter 513 Are you sure you're not fooling me?

Stepping out of here, Shen Yu didn't return to Zhou City immediately, but wandered around Xiaozhou.

In terms of the environment and scenery alone, Xiaozhou can indeed be called beautiful.He wandered around, first to relax, and second, to make surprise inspections of various places.

As time goes by, it is hard to guarantee that someone will slack off.Coupled with the fact that he has sown a huge amount of money this year, and the benefits are touching, it will be bad if someone makes a move.

After wandering around Xiaozhou for more than half a circle, he was generally satisfied.After all, his reputation of being ruthless and ruthless is quite deterrent to those corrupt officials.

Coupled with the fact that the black-clothed guards are monitoring all directions, any slight disturbance will fall into his ears, which makes people even more afraid.

Originally, after this lap, Shen Yu was in a pretty good mood.But when he appeared in Yicheng, the scene in front of him instantly turned his mood sour.

On the streets of Yicheng, a group of ragged people were kneeling at the door of a brothel, seemingly begging for something.

For more than a year, with the start of major projects in Xiaozhou, the entire Xiaozhou has been mobilized.

He gave a lot of money, which was enough for these people to feed their families, and there was still a lot left.If you have money, no matter how bad you are, you will buy clothes for your children and have a full meal.

Except for very few poor places, Shen Yu has been around Xiaozhou for so long, and there are not so many people in rags.

The people in front of them are not only poorly clothed, but also pale and emaciated as usual. This is not only because they don't wear warm clothes, they even don't have food to eat.

As for the money they deserve, it can't be that they haven't paid it at all, these corrupt officials are so courageous!

Originally, he thought proudly that the black-clothed guards were monitoring all directions, and any disturbance would be reported.And he himself is famous.

The officials in Xiaozhou live in trepidation every day, for fear that the knife will fall on them in the next moment.Dare to covet his money, that's really desperate!

But now it seems that someone is indeed desperate.Even though there are thousands of corrupt officials who died in his hands, there are still some people who will take risks and challenge his bottom line.

Moreover, the news here did not fall into his ears at all. Could it be that even the black-clothed guards were useless, and chose to collude in front of interests?

No way, they have such courage?

"Steward Qian, can you give me some face!"

Among these crowds, Shen Yu also saw a person who surprised him, Chu Hong, the new general judge of Xiaozhou!

Those common people knelt down on the ground, but he and the few police officers around him stood there, very conspicuous.

Kneeling in front of this brothel, each of these common people seemed to have a gleam of light on their faces, looking straight at Chu Hong, as if expecting something.

"Master Chu, I respect you as the judge of Xiaozhou, so I give you some face, but what do you mean now?"

"Manager Qian, I just want to ask you to return Miss Qinghan!"

"Master Chu, it's not that I don't want to help them, it's that the money they paid is not enough, far from enough."

"You know, Miss Qinghan is our top card here. If there is not enough ransom, I will not be able to explain it to the superior!"

"You! Okay, you wait, I still have some here! Come on, lend me some of the silver taels in your hands!"

While speaking, Chu Hong took out some money from himself, and even borrowed it from the policeman next to him.

Chu Hong might be the first to borrow money from his subordinates.Looking at the frowning and unwilling faces of those arresters, you can tell that they must be distressed.

If you come out with others, you're just looking for money. If you follow this one, they'll have to pay you back. What kind of world is this!

"Heh!" After taking the scattered silver in Chu Hong's hand, Guanshi Qian took it and threw it away casually, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Master Chu, I'm sorry, your money is still not enough, the difference is too much, please forgive me for not agreeing!"

"The money is in charge!" At this point, Chu Hong couldn't help being a little angry. He was not the kind of master who could swallow his anger.It's pretty good to be able to endure until now.

"Are you really unwilling to let people go? People can't be too greedy!"

"Then don't bother Mr. Chu!" As he spoke, he gave Chu Hong a sideways look, his eyes were full of contempt, and he was not taken seriously at all.

Just a poor scholar, even if he becomes a judge, he still can't change the nature of that poor group, pretending to be a big clove of garlic in front of him.

If it weren't for the master who was concerned about the state government, he would have had the poor scholar kicked out with his muddy legs kneeling on the ground.

This group of people do this, how do they still do business.

"Miss Qinghan signed the contract of selling her body. She was ours when she was born, and even if she dies, she still belongs to us. No one can take her away!"

"Lord Chu, the deed of selling oneself is written here in black and white. Even if you are the judge, you still need money to redeem him!"

"You, you!"

"What, Master Tong is angry? It's useless to be angry. If you want money, you can take it away. If you don't have it, then I'm sorry, and I'm sorry."

"Come on, see off!"

"You, you!" Seeing that Chu Hong rolled up his sleeves and was about to have sex with them, the policeman next to him hurriedly grabbed him.

"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient, he has a contract of sale in his hand, we don't take this matter for granted!"

"Fart, you are just afraid of him and dare not fight him. You think I can't see it. Get out, I have to snatch him out today!"

"My lord, no, absolutely no!" Several people tried their best to stop Chu Hong, just not letting him rush forward.

It's not that they look down on this lord judge, it's that this weak scholar can't even beat them, and rushing up is just to deliver food, and it won't do anything.

The thugs here are all fierce and vicious, and they all have kung fu skills, and they are notoriously difficult to mess with.

In case this Lord Chu let these thugs do something good or bad, how can they explain to the higher-ups.

"Chu Hong, the dignified Xiaozhou judge, you don't want to rush forward like a reckless man, do you?"

"You don't know how to shake people when you encounter problems. The men of the black guards will swing here. See if they dare to be arrogant."

Jumping down from the eaves, Shen Yu glared at him as if he hated iron for being weak.The one-state general judge is no small official at any rate, but he still learns how to roll up his sleeves and fight.

It's okay if you can beat it, but if you can't beat it, you will lose your old face, and by the way, you will lose the face of the Xiaozhou government.

"My lord!" Seeing Shen Yu who suddenly appeared, Chu Hong blushed and hurried forward to salute.

"Your official is ashamed!"

"It's really embarrassing. A general sentence makes it difficult for a brothel to do this. You have no shame, but you have to face it?"

"Official, official..." With an embarrassed look on his face, Chu Hong hesitated for a long time before whispering again.

"My lord, can you borrow some money from the official?"

"Borrowing money to redeem that girl Qinghan?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yu immediately lost her temper.There is a knife on the head of Sezi, do you know that!

"Chu Hong, it's been a long time since you've been here, you've got a good friend, and you still have to redeem yourself for the brothel girl."

"I have no objection to your hobby, but don't delay your job. Also, if you don't have money in your pocket, don't be a hero to save the beauty!"

"You didn't have enough money to redeem yourself just now, so are you still planning to rob it? The verdict is dignified, you don't think it's embarrassing, but this judge also thinks it's embarrassing!"

"Your Excellency misunderstood, this girl Qinghan is not the best friend of the lower official, and it is the wish of these people to redeem Miss Qinghan!"

"These people? They want to redeem the brothel girl? Are you sure you're not fooling me?"

Looking back at the common people kneeling on the ground, Shen Yu couldn't help frowning.

"I remember that Gu Bingsheng should be in charge here. How does he do things? Why are there so many people who don't have enough food or clothing?"

"Did he steal all the money allocated by the state government? He is so brave. Gu Bingsheng, tell him to come over and see me!"

"My lord, you have misunderstood. Mr. Gu has never embezzled a single penny, and all the silver has been handed over to the common people!"

"It's all handed over to the people? Then what's going on with them?"

"My lord, these people are the people of Qiao Shanzhai. It's not that Mr. Gu embezzled the money. The money was indeed distributed to them, but it was also saved by these people!"

"Because they wanted to redeem one person, the whole village was scribbling, reluctant to eat and wear, just to make enough money."

"A group of people who don't have enough to eat are saving money in order to redeem the women in the brothel. Chu Hong, are you sure you're not fooling me?"

Chapter 514 It Doesn't Look Like a Good Guy

"Your Excellency, you must never dare to be humble!"

Sighing, Chu Hong turned his head and pointed at the common people kneeling there.

"Master Shen, do you know that the people kneeling there are all from Qiaoshan Village!"

"The only people who can eat enough in the entire Qiaoshan village are those who do hard work outside, and only rely on the meals distributed by the government when they work every day, so they have the opportunity to have a full meal."

"As for the wages paid to them by the government, they have saved a little bit by saving money!"

"They are not only redeeming Miss Qinghan, but also repaying her kindness. But in fact, Miss Qinghan died not long ago!"

"Dead? You mean, they are going to redeem a dead man?"

"Yes!" Nodding his head with certainty, Chu Hong couldn't help sighing, "These people really came here for this reason, and they even knelt down in front of these hideous and greedy people."

"However, this Green Bamboo Garden in front of you is absolutely not willing to return Miss Qinghan's body!"

"Master Chu's words are wrong. Back then, Miss Qinghan voluntarily sold herself into my Green Bamboo Garden. No matter whether she lives or dies, she is a member of my Qingzhu Garden."

"The money you gave is not enough, people, of course you can't take it away!"

He glanced at Shen Yu apprehensively. Although Guanshi Qian didn't know who was here, seeing how respectful Chu Hong was, his attitude softened a lot.

Although he is not afraid of head-to-head encounters, he is afraid of offending people who cannot be offended.If this young man can still talk to Lord Zhizhou, it will be troublesome.

"Voluntarily sell yourself? Why?"

"I don't know, my lord. Back then, Miss Qinghan was born in Qiaoshan Village. Life there was extremely difficult, and many more people died of cold and hunger every year than in other places."

"Her father was the owner of the Qiaoshan village back then. Speaking of which, he was a man with both civil and military skills."

"Although Miss Qinghan was born in Xiaozhou, she was taught by her father since she was a child. She knows etiquette and righteousness. She is also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition to her beauty, there are also endless streams of suitors!"

"Originally, even though her life was difficult, under the protection of the old village owner, she could spend her life without any worries."

"However, in those two years, there was a severe drought near Qiao Shanzhai, and the only mountain stream that used water was cut off. In two years, almost no crops were harvested in the farmland, and countless people died of hunger and cold in the village."

"The old village owner of Qiaoshan Village can only take out his only rations to feed the people in the village, but he himself starved to death!"

"It's absurd that a master who is dignified in the Houtian realm should starve to death at home!"

"There are still people like this in Xiaozhou!"

For such a long time, in Shen Yu's impression, words like Xiaozhou's poor mountains and bad waters, and unruly people everywhere filled his ears, as if Xiaozhou was full of selfish people.

Highway robbery, dark shops in the middle of the night, these are just pediatrics.In order to survive, there are countless treacherous people here.

For a little ration, they will do anything.Sell ​​your body, sell your soul, the bottom line can be lowered and lowered.

It was also the first time for Shen Yu to hear that there were such people who were able to provide their own food to others, starving themselves to death.

Such feelings, even in the huge dynasty, I am afraid there are not many.

"My lord, the old village owner would rather sacrifice himself than protect the villagers. But these grains are still a drop in the bucket for the people in the village, and people starve to death every day."

"My lord, you know the situation in Xiaozhou. If you flee the famine, you may not be able to survive. At that time, these homeless villagers will probably be used as rations by hungry people in other places."

"The villagers of Qiaoshan Village back then were almost waiting to die!"

"But at this time, Miss Qinghan voluntarily sold herself in a brothel and bought food with the money from selling herself. She almost completely sacrificed herself, and only then did she save the people in this village."

"After that, Miss Qinghan knew she couldn't escape the sea of ​​suffering, so she used her meager strength to help the people in the village."

"She wants these people to be free from ignorance, and she wants the children in the village to read and write, and to distinguish right from wrong."

"That's why, every year, she gives all the hard-earned money she earns from singing with the guests in the brothel to the village, so that their children can read and write!"

"People are not plants, how can they be ruthless!"

Sighing deeply, he looked at the people kneeling there.At this time, when Chu Hong mentioned the past, it seemed to remind them of their memories, and some of them couldn't help sobbing softly.

Gradually, most people's eye sockets became red and swollen, but they were all restraining themselves.

They don't want to lose Qiao Shanzhai's face in front of outsiders, let alone Miss Qing Han's face, this is their last stubbornness and dignity!

"My lord, it is precisely because of your lordship that you have worked hard to implement the Xiaozhou government and distributed enough money to the people this year, so that they have the hope of redeeming Miss Qinghan!"
