Guo Fengyue became angrier and louder as he spoke: "I eat well and drink spicy food in the city, but the people starve to death outside the city. How can such a local official be called a good official? What is a good official? It's actually very simple.
As long as the people can be fed and clothed, such an official is a good official. Obviously the prefect here is not worthy of being a good official. On the contrary, he is a completely corrupt official, and he is not worthy of your efforts to protect him."
"Okay, well said!"
"Okay, despite his young age, what this young man says makes sense."
As Guo Feng finished speaking, bursts of cheers rang out at the city gate.
Although the victims who gathered at the gate of the city had been hungry for countless meals and didn't have much strength in their bodies, they still burst into cheers when they heard the young man's words.
What this young man said is so right. What is a good official? One who can feed and clothe the people. An official who has a place to live is a good official!
Guo Feng waited for the cheers at the city gate to subside, and then he faced Fang Shuwen, calmed down his momentum, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I would like to inquire about the residence of the prefect and find out how much wealth he, a dignified prefect, has."
"Okay, that's it. When the disaster relief army arrives, you will immediately take people to search the prefect's house!" Fang Shuwen looked at Guo Feng's face with satisfaction and felt very happy in his heart.
Originally, the situation we encountered today was very difficult. There were so many people and so many local big families trying to protect the prefect, and it was difficult for him to punish the prefect.
But Chang Sheng made a scene like this and deliberately acted stupidly and beat the prefect and several family members to death. Then Guo Feng stood up again and showed off the sixth level of Qi training realm, shocking everyone with his strength. For a moment,
The scene was completely under control.
Fortunately, I have two friends, Chang Sheng and Guo Feng!
Fang Shuwen sighed in his heart, let go of Chang Sheng, who had gradually calmed down, strode forward and shouted to everyone in and around the city: "What Guo Feng said just now is right. Not only is the local prefect not a good official,
He is even more of a corrupt official! And I, the prince, are responsible for this disaster relief, and the city of Minochuan is within the scope of the defense, and it is also under my management. If I find that the corrupt official has the right to execute him!"
"What, he calls himself a prince, is he a prince?"
General Liu was shocked when he heard what Fang Shuwen said. He suddenly remembered that he was the one who caught these three people in prison before. However, they are masters of the sixth level of Qi training realm. If they want to catch them, they can use a little finger.
You can kill yourself.
But they still let themselves be imprisoned. There is only one explanation for this. They did it on purpose. They wanted to enter the prison to see something.
It is very possible that the other party is really a prince, and this time he is here for a private visit. After all, pretending to be a prince is a serious crime of beheading. I am afraid no one would dare to pretend to be a prince in such a high-profile way.
Besides, there is such a young master of the sixth level of Qi training over there, and only a prince with a status like that can have such talented subordinates.
2 The prefect is dead, and several members of the family have been beaten to death. Another person on the other side is a master of the sixth level of Qi training. The prince is even more careless. People from other major families thought about it and found that they are making trouble again.
It would be no good for me to go down there, so they all dispersed and there was no further commotion.
In the evening, the large relief force finally arrived at Muchuan City and Fang Shuwen and several others came together. Also there was the Qi-training general who should have joined the relief force long ago and the soldiers he led.
Fang Shuwen gathered everyone together and the first order he issued was to release grain!
The victims outside the city are already so hungry. If we let them continue to starve, these people have no ability to resist. They are so hungry that they can't resist even if they want to.
But if someone provides them with food at this time and organizes them to revolt, ninety-nine percent of them will succeed.
Those remnants of the previous dynasty have long been prepared to take advantage of this natural disaster to plot an uprising. If they are allowed to seize the opportunity, the chaos will be huge.
Even if no one comes to incite the victims to rebel, and the victims are allowed to die one by one, a plague will almost certainly break out. Plague, sometimes the terror of the plague is not equal to the uprising.
The most important thing is that these people are all from the Daqi Dynasty, how could they be allowed to die like this!
While distributing food, Fang Shuwen even ordered the demolition of the temporarily built city gate of Minchuan City. In a disaster area, it is necessary to divide the region and people into three, six or nine grades. What does it sound like!
At the same time, tents were moved off the ship one by one.
As for the prefect, Guo Feng and his men seized 20 million taels of silver from there, as well as various treasures whose value could not be calculated at the moment.
"Hmph, a prefect has embezzled so much money. The administration of our Daqi Dynasty has become so corrupt. It's really heartbreaking!"
Fang Shuwen's expression turned ugly as he listened to his men's report, and his eyes glanced over General Liu's body intentionally or unintentionally.
The magistrate is dead, but now he is one of the most important officials in the entire Minchuan City.
General Liu felt Fang Shuwen's gaze and immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Seventh Prince Mingjian, the villain is different from the prefect. The villain is definitely not greedy. The villain is only responsible for military matters. He will not interfere in local affairs. Moreover, even if the villain wants to interfere, the prefect will not agree.
Yes. The prefect belongs to the third prince, and he has the third prince as his big backer. The villain doesn’t have any big backers. The entire Minchuan City has always been decided by the prefect, and the villain didn’t know that the prefect was greedy for so much money!”
"Why are the Third Prince's people his again!"
Fang Shuwen frowned secretly when he heard this. Along the way, the people who united with the remnants of the previous dynasty to rob the money were the third prince's people. At present, the prefect of the first disaster area closest to the capital was also the third prince's people. And this person
And he did it so poorly! Is this a coincidence, or something else? However, we can also see from this 3 how powerful the third prince is. Apart from him, there is probably no other prince who has so many local officials below him.
Fang Shuwen was secretly vigilant in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He glanced at the confidants of the third prince who were standing behind him, and Fang Shuwen deliberately snorted and said angrily: "The third prince's people, his
For someone to act like an official, it seems that Third Brother should also take charge of his subordinates."
Fang Shuwen said coldly, ignoring the reactions of the three princes' confidants behind him, and looked at General Liu and said: "Okay, I will believe you for once. You said that you have been responsible for the security of the city, then let me ask you
,Have you noticed anything special recently?"
What needs to be concerned about now are the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"Abnormal things..." General Liu thought about it after hearing this: "To talk about abnormal things, there is one thing..."
"One thing? Don't be too tight-lipped. Tell me what it is." Fang Shuwen suddenly became alert after hearing this. This abnormal thing is probably related to the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"It's the magic way!" General Liu heard the prince's words and did not dare to neglect and said immediately: "It should be in the past seven days, there are always people missing mysteriously at night in our Minchuan City. And most of the missing people are children and young children.
.The villain didn’t pay attention the first time, but the second time it happened during the day.”
When General Liu said this, a look of horror appeared on his face. He paused as if he remembered some horrific scene before continuing: "That day, the villain was patrolling near Minchuan City as usual, but he was in a remote place.
The skeletons of children were found one after another. These skeletons were not scattered on the ground, but were placed on the ground to form a very terrifying skull picture."
General Liu said, swallowed his saliva and continued: "All the bones finally formed a skeleton picture that made the villain feel horrified after seeing it. However, among the soldiers who accompanied the villain, there was a timid one.
Seeing the skull picture composed of so many bones, I became incontinent on the spot. Later, the villain also bravely checked the bones. The villain found that these bones were all new, which meant that these people had just been killed.
Killed soon."
"Also, Prince, you also know that even if a person dies, there will still be some life in the bones in the first few days after death. But there is no life in these bones, and the bones are even thicker than those of ordinary people.
They are much more fragile. These bones have obviously been sucked away by someone. This is obviously the magic way.
The villain did this, so the villain deduced that there was a master of the magic way near Minchuan City. Normally, people from the magic way would not dare to commit crimes so openly, but now that the situation is special, he took the opportunity to come out and steal people to practice. However,
, but there is one place he doesn’t dare to go to! That’s the Temple of Valor!”
"Hall of Valor? What is this place?"
Fang Shuwen was stunned when he heard this. He had heard of many ancestral halls, but this was the first time he heard of Yingwu Temple.
"The Yingwu Temple is the ancestral hall of the 4th Marquis of Yingwu." General Liu quickly explained after hearing Guo Feng's question: "I don't know when we started to build a Yingwu Temple in Minchuan City. At the same time, everyone didn't know this.
Who built the ancestral hall? But even so, even if the Yingwu Temple was built later than the other ancestral halls in our Minchuan City, its popularity is the most prosperous among all the ancestral halls."
"It is said that the Temple of Heroes is very efficacious. Miracles often appear in the temple, and everyone hides in the Temple of Valor. Unless the victims have fought with each other before, no one dares to go to the Temple of Valor to cause trouble."
"Oh? So there is such a thing." Guo Feng smiled softly and said, "Well, don't think about the Yingwu Temple, let's talk about the people of the devil's way first. What you said makes sense. It does seem like this is the devil's way.
What the stranger did." Fang Shuwen nodded upon hearing this, but he did not expect that the abnormality that General Liu was talking about was the traitor in the devil's path and not the remnants of the previous dynasty.
