A knife in love

Chapter 2138
The more Murong Danyan talked, the more annoyed he became, and the more wronged he became, until the end, tears filled his eyes.Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper and Humpty Humpty were also in shock, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time.Murong Danyan saw that the two looked weird, but they didn't speak. His heart became more and more anxious. He raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "You guys are talking! What happened here?!"

The shopkeeper opened this tavern more than 20 years ago. Every day, he greets passers-by with a smile and pays attention to harmony and wealth. He is a very shrewd person.Seeing that Murong Danyan was in such a hurry, recalling the previous situation, he vaguely guessed something hidden in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Isn't Miss the mage invited by the government to arrest Hu Daxian?"

Murong Danyan's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "What sorcerer? I just passed by here, and outside the city, I heard that there are vixen in the city making troubles and harming the people. The people got rid of the harm, so they fought with the two foxes, forcing them to fall into the deep pit. I have told you before, why don't you believe it? I didn't expect you to be so confused, not only helping the fox to speak, but also Help them deal with me!"

Seeing Murong Danyan's angry expression, the shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and then said to Murong Danyan: "I'm afraid you don't know that the girl has been tricked by a villain. The person who told you this is pure nonsense. Must not be a good person!"

Murong Danyan was stunned, and said: "The man's name is Zhou Ziming, he was born with great strength and strength, and he is very majestic. I passed by outside the city and saw him leading a group of people to search for vixen everywhere outside the city. He said that the yamen sent According to the post, he wanted to capture and kill the fox, so he led people out of the city to catch the fox. If he succeeded, he would not only kill the people, but also get 500 taels of silver. He told me about the vixen harming the people. .”

As soon as Murong Danyan finished speaking, the shopkeeper and the short fat man stomped their feet repeatedly, with indignant expressions on their faces.Murong Danyan was suspicious, he didn't know what he said wrong again, and was about to ask, when the shopkeeper clapped his hands and said: "Little girl, you have been fooled by that villain Zhou Ziming! This man It's a well-known local ruffian in Wangqi County, who does everything except good deeds! How can a girl believe those bastard words he said?!"

Murong Danyan naturally knew that Zhou Ziming was not a good person, but she never thought that Zhou Ziming would dare to lie to her. Thinking back to the situation at that time, she thought to herself, Zhou Ziming, a scoundrel, has shameless words and deeds, as the shopkeeper said, [-]% of what he said is inside Can't believe everything.Most likely this scoundrel saw the money, so he searched for vixen everywhere.It's just that after this guy was restrained by me, in order to cover up his despicable thoughts, he reasoned that the vixen harmed the people. The reason why he searched everywhere was to eliminate harm for the people.

Seeing Murong Danyan's uncertain expression, the shopkeeper and the short fat man knew that she was in shock.The shopkeeper took a step forward, and said: "It seems that the girl was deceived by Zhou Ziming, a thief, and that's why she was in trouble with Hu Daxian. I'm afraid the girl doesn't know the reason for this."

Murong Danyan sighed, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said, "I would like to hear the details."

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Our Wangqi county was originally peaceful. Although the previous magistrates were not upright officials, they still talked about shame after all, and they didn't dare to do anything blatantly. It's just that five years ago, the current After the magistrate of the county took office, he scraped the ground so fiercely that it could be said that oil was squeezed out of the rocks, making the common people miserable. There were some righteous people in the yamen, and some couldn't understand it. This dog official did evil and didn't want to help the tyrant, so he had to quietly leave the Yamen and find another job. Some spoke out for the people, but they were sent to prison by the dog official. There are also quite a few."

When Murong Danyan heard what the shopkeeper said, he had an unbelievable expression on his face, and said: "Although there are many corrupt officials in the world, how can any official dare to harm people so blatantly? There is a prefect above the magistrate, and there is a governor above the magistrate." , The imperial court will also send censors to inspect various places. Even if the magistrate can hide it from the magistrate and the governor, how can he be fooled by the censor's open and unannounced visits?"

The shopkeeper and the short fat man couldn't help but look at each other when they heard what Murong Danyan said, and shook their heads at the same time.The shopkeeper turned his head, gave a wry smile, and said, "Little girl, do you think that the county magistrate can take all the money he plundered by scrapping the land? He has already managed the magistrate's yamen and the governor's yamen. The Shangguan has benefited, so he won't do it at all." Never mind him. Our Wangqi county is a despicable place, and there is nothing to fish for. Those censors who are domineering in the capital will not come here to suffer. What's more, the county magistrate, the magistrate, and the governor send People go to the capital to manage, and those elders in the court turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye, and let us, the county magistrate, scrape the land here."

After Murong Danyan listened to the shopkeeper's words, recalling all the situations he had encountered before, he thought that what the shopkeeper said was true.She thought to herself, although my father is from the Jianghu, he has a good relationship with the government.He once said to my elder brother and me, the magistrate who destroys the family and the county magistrate who destroys the family, don't underestimate such small officials.No matter how high your martial arts are, if you are targeted by the government, there will be no good fruit to eat.Even my father, a great expert in the world, is so afraid of officials like magistrates and magistrates, not to mention small people like shopkeepers and short fat people, how dare they go against magistrates?
Murong Danyan thought for a moment, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said: "Even if the court doesn't care, can the people who have been wronged just swallow their hearts and be willing to be oppressed by dog ​​officials? I see that the size of Wangqi County is not small, and the population There are at least 5 to [-] people. Everyone gathered and rushed into the yamen. It only takes one punch and one foot to beat this dog official into meatloaf. Why should he be bullied by this dog official?"

After hearing Murong Danyan's words, the shopkeeper and the short fat man were stunned, they couldn't help but looked at each other, their faces were full of astonishment.After a while, the shopkeeper shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, if people in the yamen listen to it, you will be in great trouble."

Murong Danyan was disdainful, and was about to refute a few words, but seeing the terrified faces of the shopkeeper and the short fat man, he thought to himself, I am a foreigner, even if I offend the yamen, I just need to run far away, and they will also Can't hold me.However, the people of Wangqi County have lived here for generations, and unless they rise up, they will never dare to oppose the government.Thinking of this, Murong Danyan made peace with his heart, and said in his mouth: "Even if you don't rebel and make trouble, you can still write a petition, collect some money, choose a few smart and capable people, and go to the capital to sue. I don't believe it. Can a small magistrate be able to cover the sky with one hand?"
