The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 80 Broken Silver Valley

The people outside the door hurried into the room, and the last one to enter was the burly man.

A middle-aged man dressed in black cloth came walking, with a long dark face and slightly high cheekbones, like a man transplanting seedlings in a rural crop field, but the sword on his side made people feel extravagant.

"Master Zheng!" The middle-aged man smiled and walked up to Qianyi and said, "I have admired him for a long time."

Zheng Nian hurriedly scraped the melon seeds in his hand onto the table, clasped his fists in return, "Oh, you are..."

"I am Yu Chengfeng of Broken Silver Valley."

His smile is very friendly, and he is very friendly from his eyes.

Zheng Nian was a little puzzled, "Silver Broken Valley?"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng is busy as an official, making a living for the people. Naturally, he takes care of everything. It's only natural that he has never heard of our Jianghu Gang." Yu Chengfeng said.

"Oh..." Zheng Nian nodded, "You...why did you come here for me?"

"I want to apologize to Mr. Zheng for the recklessness of my subordinates. Please Mr. Zheng don't remember the villain's mistakes, and don't blame him." Yu Chengfeng bowed deeply after speaking.

Zheng Nian didn't show much, but stood aside, puzzled.What is a Jianghu sect trying to do when it finds itself?
"My lord, don't worry, I will explain your doubts." Yu Chengfeng made a gesture of invitation, and the two sat down at the table.

After pouring tea for Zheng Nian, he said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Zheng is concerned about the country and the people, and it can be seen from the case of the headless case that Mr. Zheng's willingness to plead for the people is not the same as those shameless people in the court. There are different."

Zheng Nian did not change his face, trying his best to find some clues from his words.

"Although we are a Jianghu gang, we also care about the people. Now Chao Gang is in power by eunuchs. Emperor Zhou Cheng is fatuous and ruthless, and the people are fish and meat. The people everywhere are suffering from hunger and cold. , leading to the death of a large number of people in vain.”

Speaking of this, Yu Chengfeng's face showed embarrassment, his eyes were graceful, and there were some tears.

Zheng Nian looked at him, it didn't look like he was acting, but he felt powerless and defeated.

"But in the capital, officials and officials protect each other, and no one cares about the life and death of the people. A lot of money in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital is used for fun and enjoyment, but none of the money is spent on the people."

Zheng Nian felt a twinge in his heart, "He seems to be talking about me...but there is no Red Cross Society these days, and there is no place to donate money. '

"Master Zheng, our brothers in the capital have been watching you for a long time, and we want you to join us in Broken Silver Valley to fight against the imperial court and overthrow this fatuous regime!"

"The earth shakes the high hills, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages?" Zheng Nian blurted out.

"Master Zheng...what's the meaning of this?" Yu Chengfeng was stunned.

"it's okay no problem……"

Zheng Nian waved his hand, "Actually, you misunderstood the person. I am not what you think, and I am not a person who would rebel alone. This is a technical job, and I am not a technical person."

He would not be able to swim in this kind of muddy water. Since ancient times, the risk factor of rebelling against this kind of business has been very high, and there is no insurance.

"Then why did your lord kill Gong Yu?" Yu Chengfeng asked with a smile.

This time, his smile no longer had the affinity it had before, but a threatening one.

"I didn't kill Gong Yu." Zheng Nian said.

Yu Chengfeng stood up, walked to the window and looked down at the streets of the capital, "Gong Yu, the son of the Minister of Rites, died in Mingchun Garden last night, although I don't know what method you used to make the Tiangang Mansion Supervisor conceal the truth, But now the Ministry of Rites and Jin Yiwei have started to investigate this matter."

"It won't be long before the truth will be revealed to the world. Because everyone in the capital knows what Gong Yu wanted to do last night."

Zheng Nian took a sip of tea, "Have you ever thought about why the Supervisor wanted to help me?"

"You are not from Tiangang Mansion, Mr. Zheng don't need to lie to me, I know you better than you." Yu Chengfeng smiled confidently.

'I thought you were Chen Jinnan, but you are Song Jiang? Zheng Nian was slightly annoyed, so he took a deep breath and said, "I can understand that you say you are for the people and the country, but I will not join, nor will I do the same thing as you. If you want to expose Gong Yu anything, whatever."

Yu Chengfeng looked at Zheng Nian, "You think I dare not go."

"It's not that you don't dare to go, it's that you won't go."

"I will not go?"

"Of course you won't go, because your words have already told me that you won't go."

"I really won't go." Yu Chengfeng sighed and sat on the chair, "No matter what, I won't join forces with these people who care about human lives."

"Gong Yu... Luo Xiu... Mo An..." Zheng Nian closed his eyes, flicked his fingers on the table a few times, and suddenly smiled, "I see."

"You... know what?" Yu Chengfeng was taken aback.

"I know who you arranged in Mingchun Garden that night." Zheng Nian said.

Yu Chengfeng clenched his hands tightly, and the veins on his face popped out.

"You were able to find the daughter of King Zhennan of Dazhou to rebel against Dazhou. You are indeed courageous." Zheng Nian picked up the melon seeds.

"You!" Yu Chengfeng stood up like a spring.

"Looks like I guessed right." Zheng Nian said flatly.

Yu Chengfeng looked at Zheng Nian, "Master Zheng, before you said this, you could still walk out of here intact, but now, it's impossible."

Zheng Nian grinned, "Since I was able to send you here, it means that Broken Silver Valley doesn't value me very much. Success or failure is not very important to you. I want to leave, but you can't stop me."

"But……"

"Okay, let me talk."

The door opened again, and Fu Ji in black gauze and gray clothes appeared at the door, beckoning to the people inside, "Go out."

Yu Chengfeng walked out with his head down and led the two big men.

Fu Ji took off her veil.

She is indeed beautiful, even though there are scars on her face, she still cannot hide her beauty.

Walked slowly to the front, first smiled, filled the teacup, and then said softly, "Do you know why we are called Broken Silver Valley?"

"Just tell me, I'm in a hurry." Zheng Nian said.

"Because when the people are suffering the most, what they want is a little silver."

Fu Ji sighed, "No matter which government it is, there is surplus grain. Even Beijiang, which suffered a three-year drought, has a lot of surplus grain. But they just watched the people starve to death, and they still have to adjust the grain price to a certain level." Two denarii."

"How many people died for a tael of silver?" Fu Ji said, "I saw with my own eyes that the people on the Beijiang River, because they were so hungry, they exchanged children for food, cooked excrement, and killed each other."

"And their parents, local officials, drank three taels of wine, ate a table of five taels of food, and played with women bought for one tael of silver."

The melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground, Zheng Nian didn't pick them up, but looked out the window.

Fu Ji looked at Zheng Nian, "I didn't lie to you that day, I was going to kill Gong Yu."

"Kill him, will the severe drought in the north be resolved?" Zheng Nian asked.

"I can't." Fu Ji said.

"But you still want to kill him." Zheng Nian said.

"Yes, he must die."

"That's why I won't join you." Zheng Nian said.

Fu Ji sighed helplessly, shook her head and said, "We won't let you risk your life to kill anyone."

"But I will watch the people around me die, won't I?" Zheng Nian asked, "If I were one of yours that day, wouldn't you want me to watch you die?"

This time Fu Ji was stunned.

"I don't have the ability to change the dilapidated status quo under the rule of the imperial power, and I don't have the ability to save countless refugees in the cracks. What I can do is to protect the people around me. On my three-acre land, try not to let people in Chang'an County The people died in vain."

Zheng Nian drank the tea in his hand, "I just want to live a simple life, and I don't have time to save the world."

"You have the heart to watch them..."

"I can't bear it." Zheng Nian interrupted her with a smile, "But I don't have the ability. At least... not now."

"But you..."

"I can't bet on the lives of more than 40 people in the Temple of Good and Evil, I can't afford to bet." Zheng Nian interrupted her again.

Fu Ji was silent.

Every person with a dream is worthy of respect. Zheng Nian respects them very much, and he seems to join their ranks without hesitation to change the status quo.

But this is not a matter of talking and forgetting. If you want to do it, you must be foolproof, and you must be fatal. If you cannibalize step by step, you will pay a huge price, and he will not do it lightly.

Anyone can find it in the Temple of Good and Evil, and his mother is in the Temple of Good and Evil.

Zheng Nian stood up, saluted respectfully, and then opened the door.

All the way through Chang'an County.

Mules and horses travel, vendors hawk, and the people are busy.

This world, where the road is far away and the horse is fast, is nothing more than that.
