Powerful Song Dynasty

481 Chapter 4 Brocade Night Walk [-]
"Bold, you bastards who work in low professions, dare to speak wild words." Zong Liang was very angry, pointing at the butcher and cursed.

The old butcher didn't know where the three of them came from, seeing him speak loudly but didn't dare to make a fuss, his eyeballs rolled around, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Another younger butcher showed his butcher knife and yelled viciously: "That little thief is just a rich young man with two moneys. If he dares to play tricks here, believe it or not, I will cut you to pieces."

The old butcher didn't say a word, obviously wanting the young butcher to test the waters. If it's just an ordinary rich businessman, he really doesn't want to bother, but now there are a lot of big officials!
"The rats don't dare to use force." Xu Zhong took a step forward and pulled out the straight knife.

Wang Xiu finally suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Let these children go, and you will not die."

The two butchers were stunned, and understood that this person was here to find fault. People died for money, birds died for food, and nothing else could be said. If they robbed their own meat, they would have to risk their lives and protect it.

The old butcher changed his color and said: "The officials want it, whichever one they like can offer a price, it's easy to say. If you want to take it by force, hehe, our boning knife is not in vain for decades." He was warning Wang Xiu , don't make more troubles and push people into a hurry, otherwise it will be white knives in and red knives out.

Wang Xiu looked at the two of them coldly, becoming more and more disgusted, and said sharply, "Kill."

Xu Zhong couldn't bear it long ago, if he hadn't worried about Wang Xiu's presence, he would have killed someone with a knife.As soon as Wang Xiu finished speaking, she dodged forward, raised the knife in her hand, and beheaded the leader of the butcher. Before the other person recovered, the blade had already sliced ​​across the young butcher's Adam's apple, and there was no chance to shout. The person fell limply to the ground.

The whole killing process was clean and merciless, and the bystanders didn't see clearly how the blade cut the man's Adam's apple.

"Good job." Zong Liang clapped his hands and praised, he showed no mercy for killing these two beasts.

"Excuse me." Xu Zhong retracted his sword and stepped back, his expression quite happy.

Killing two people in a row while talking, the people around stayed for a long time, too scared to make a sound, watching helplessly, Wang Xiu personally loosened the rope for the children, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the bad guy has been killed, now you never mind."

The oldest of those children was only about ten years old, and most of them were girls. They had seen such a bloody scene there, and they cried a long time ago.Wang Xiu has no way to coax the child, but to be anxious.

In desperation, Zong Liang took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and shouted loudly: "Whoever coaxes the child from crying, I will give you ten coins."

Ten cents is enough to feed and clothe a refugee for a few days, and there must be someone who responds to the reward. Sure enough, more than a dozen village women came to help coax the children. This trick worked very well, and the children stopped crying after a while.

Wang Xiu turned around and said to the mother and daughter: "It seems that you are a woman who can speak well, and seems to know a few words. Since your official is dead, you don't need to sell your daughter to get food and clothing. How about it, I We are short of a few clean servants, you don’t have to sell your mother and daughter, you can follow me back to listen to them, and you don’t need to separate mother and daughter. You can also have some money every month to buy a dowry for your daughter, you see how?"

That woman has some eyesight, seeing Wang Xiu blatantly murder, there must be some origin, the emperor's trip is located in Shangshui, he must be someone from Tokyo.Now that someone has taken her in, mother and daughter don't have to be separated, and no matter what the future holds, it's better than a daughter being sold. Immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you officials, civilian women will be oxen and horses in the next life, and they must repay the officials for their great kindness."

The girl was quite clever, so she also knelt on the ground and said softly, "Thank you, sir."

Wang Xiu was very satisfied with the understanding of the mother and daughter, nodded and said: "Get up!"

"Sir, do you want to close it?"

Wang Xiu watched among the refugees and kept rescuing children. The traffickers did not evade him after seeing him kill, and fled secretly. Not long after, more than 200 children were rescued. Shi Yong also led dozens of government officials to arrive, and at the same time The county magistrate and county lieutenant also came, their faces were panicked, how could they not be panicked!I am afraid that no guard will take it lightly.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were uneasy, their faces were as scorched as earth, and they trembled all over: "Your Majesty has seen my husband."

Wang Xiu looked at them unhappily, couldn't help laughing dryly, and said in a deep voice, "Master Tang, I've only been away for a few days, this is your county's achievements?"

Hearing Wang Xiu's bad voice, the magistrate of Tang County was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, this captive attacked Chenzhou, many people were homeless, and there were refugees from the west of Beijing who fled into Shangshui due to the war. There are too many, there is no time to appease in a hurry, this is not to welcome the emperor again."

"Isn't there still military rations? The imperial court has already allowed the warehouses to release rations. Why is there such a tragedy?"

Tang Zhixian's fat body trembled, and the two lumps of flesh on his face trembled violently.

The county lieutenant rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There are too many victims, and there are army rations, so I dare not put too much, I'm afraid my lord will not be able to supply the army."

"It seems that the county captain still has the big picture in mind!" Wang Xiu said with a smile on his face.

Both Zong Liang and Xu Zhong were shocked, they had followed Wang Xiu for a long time, and knew that Xianggong was really angry.

"Your Excellency said it." The county lieutenant thought that Wang Xiu praised him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's enough, look at their hungry faces, they still kill and eat people again, I don't know what you are doing, are you blind?" Wang Xiu finally broke out, looking like a murderer.

Tang magistrate and county lieutenant were ashen-faced with fright, and the two government's fury was definitely a bolt from the blue for them. They both knelt on the ground where the sewage was flowing, and their bodies couldn't help shaking violently.

Suddenly, Wang Xiu couldn't restrain his impulse, and quickly stomped the two of them to the ground without demeanor, and another person patched his foot, cursing bitterly: "Two bastards, it's only been a few days since Shang The water management is in a mess. You are still whitewashing your wealth in front of the officials, I think you have lived enough."

Everyone was shocked to see Wang Xiu viciously beating the county magistrate and county lieutenant, but frightened by Wang Xiu's illustrious reputation, no one dared to step forward to persuade them, even Zong Liang and Xu Zhong booed each other, not knowing what to do, the yamen servant They secretly regretted why they had to come to catch up with this muddy water.

Wang Xiu resentfully kicked the county lieutenant again, then suddenly turned her head to stare at Shi Yong, and said sharply, "Zimu, kneel down for me too."

Shi Yong's body trembled, he didn't catch his breath, he just felt his legs go limp, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily, his face pale and terrifying.

"Do you know why you were made to kneel?"

"student.."

"You are a disciple of the Son of Heaven." Wang Xiu refuted sharply.student?You can claim in private that it is a taboo to do it in public, and Shi Yong was born as a Jinshi, so he doesn't want to be criticized by others.

"Oh, the junior took office not long ago, but he didn't stop it in time. He is ashamed of his heavy responsibility to the court, and he didn't report the shortcomings of Shangshui. Please deal with it." Shi Yong was also frightened to death.
