Chapter 298 I am the memory of goldfish! I don't remember a word!
Qi Bainian.
Liu Da introduced him when he left Han Nancheng, so the name was still familiar to Zhao Cheng.
Liu Da said that Qi Bainian was recognized by the people of Jiangyang County as a good county governor. He was not greedy for money, lustful, gambling, and even a teetotaler, but he never expected that he would have such a bastard brother-in-law.
But what Zhao Cheng cares about is not the words Qi Bainian, but Miao Shang's identity.
The leader of the local garrison.
He was obviously an officer who was trying to keep peace, so why did he massacre the people instead?
"Are you talking nonsense and pulling off tiger skin?" Zhao Cheng said deliberately: "Do you think I will believe you? You must be a pirate!"
"I'm not a pirate!" Miao Shang quickly took out his waistband and said, "Look, the waistband of the Sheriff's Mansion cannot be faked! There are also them, if you search them, they all have waistbands!
Even if the pirates pretend to be Jingjun, they won't be able to get so many cards!"
Heng Wenhao glanced at the waist card and nodded to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng kicked Miao Shang and shouted: "Since you are the leader of the team and the brother-in-law of the county governor, why are you massacring the people?!"
"I……"
"explain!"
Miao Shang got up, covered the wound on his abdomen again, and said: "The task given by the imperial court is really too heavy. You have never fought against pirates. It is not difficult to drive them away, but it is not easy to kill them."
, they can’t catch up once they run towards the sea..."
Buzz!
Zhao Cheng felt his head was buzzing, and he held back his anger and asked: "So you slaughtered these villagers to use them for business?"
Miao Shang nodded, pointed to the severed heads, and sighed: "The imperial court only looks at the heads, and will not really investigate the identities of these people. We picked a village with a small population to start, and in one day the village suddenly became...
If it disappears, it won't attract too much attention. Even if it is discovered later, it can be said that it was a pirate."
"Your uncle!!!" Xu An, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't bear it anymore, kicked Miao Shang down, and then stepped on his wounds violently.
Zhao Cheng clenched his fists tightly and started to tremble with anger.
Miao Shang shouted: "I am not the only one to do this! It is like this in other places in Jiangyang County. If we fail to complete the task, the court will kill us to scare the monkeys. These villagers who have no power to restrain the chicken are dead.
It means we are dead, but if we are killed, it will be the loss of the empire’s troops. Think about it, if we are all killed, who will help the common people get rid of the pirates in the future?”
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng became furious and raised his foot to step down, but stopped in mid-air.
"Wrong sense!!"
“Nonsense!!”
"I feel like my feet are dirty when I kick you!!!"
Zhao Cheng was so angry that he remembered reading a book before, which said that the real villain is the person who thinks that the crime he committed is not a crime.
They always have a theory to prove that they are right. This is not to cover up their crimes, but to truly believe that they are right.
Some people even think they are great!
This Miao Shang is such a person!
Zhao Cheng patted Xu An and said: "If you are so angry, I will let you come and cut him into pieces!"
"No problem!" Xu An took the knife from a guard.
Miao Shang saw that Xu An was serious about taking action, so he quickly said: "Don't be impulsive! Is it worth risking your life for these unconnected villagers? I am the only sister who has a younger brother. If you want to kill me, she and my brother-in-law will not let go."
It’s your fault!”
Zhao Cheng asked: "Does Qi Bainian know about this?"
"Brother-in-law doesn't know, but no matter how secretive you are, he can still find out who killed me in Jiangcheng!"
Miao Shang said sternly: "My brother-in-law is the county guard. It is no exaggeration to say that in Jiangyang County, he is the local emperor! I know you are a wealthy family, but in Jiangyang County, you can't afford to offend him!"
"Bah!" Xu An stabbed Miao Shang's thigh with the tip of the knife and shouted: "What does a county guard mean? Do you know who my father is?!"
"I don't want to know!" Miao Shang said immediately: "Don't tell me your identities. If you let me go, I will pretend that I have never met you and will never retaliate against you!"
Xu An pulled Miao Shang's ear and shouted in his ear: "I have to tell you, my name is Xu An! Xu An!!"
Miao Shang shook his head and said, "I can't hear, I'm deaf!"
Xu An pointed at Zhao Cheng and the others again and said: "His name is Zhao Cheng, his name is Huang Hua, his name is..."
"I am the memory of a goldfish! I don't remember a single word!!" Miao Shang knelt down and kowtowed to Xu An.
At this time, Huang Hua approached Zhao Cheng and said softly: "Boss, I think it's best if we don't kill him."
Zhao Cheng looked at Huang Hua displeased and said, "Are you worried that Qi Bainian will take revenge?"
"That's not true." Huang Hua glanced at Miao Shang and lowered his voice: "I think that instead of killing him here, it is better to take him and these people back to Qi Bainian and see what happens to Qi Bainian.
deal with."
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up.
He understood what Huang Hua meant.
Huang Hua continued: "We want to open the market in Jiangyang County. The governor Qi Bainian is the key, but Miao Shang has done many evil things. We will definitely not pretend that this has not happened just because we want to curry favor with Qi Bainian. He will
By sending it to Qi Bainian, you can also observe what kind of person Qi Bainian is. Is he a good official as Liu Da said, or is he a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
"Just do as you say."
Zhao Cheng raised his hand and said: "Old Xu, let someone tie them all up."
Xu An asked: "Aren't you going to kill me?"
Zhao Cheng looked at Miao Shang, snorted coldly, and said: "When you first come here, you have to pay your respects to the dock, so let's give the governor a generous gift!"
"Huh..." Miao Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Cheng added: "Yuan Fei, you are the first to go to Jiangcheng to spread the news that Miao Shang, the leader of the Jiangcheng garrison, massacred Jiangde Village and wants to report the heads of innocent villagers to the court."
"yes!"
Miao Shang, who had just felt relieved, suddenly changed his expression.
"You...what do you want to do?!"
Zhao Cheng said: "You said that if we kill you, your brother-in-law will not let us go, so now I will hand you over to your brother-in-law. If he also wants to kill you, will anyone avenge you?"
"You are so bad!"
"What a world, in the mouth of bad people, we become bad people."
Zhao Cheng withdrew his gaze, looked towards the massacred village, and sighed: "They say that Jingguo is peaceful, and Jiangyang County is an economically important county, but who would have thought that it is not the pirates or the Southern Zhou who are harming the people, but us.
Own."
"It's a joke to still be in a prosperous age!"
Feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled, Zhao Cheng lowered his head and looked up, seeing Yingying with tears on her face.
Zhao Cheng squatted down, wiped Yingying's tears, and said: "Don't be afraid Yingying, your parents are gone. Big brother can't give you new parents, but he can give you a new home. Follow big brother from now on, okay?
?”
Yingying nodded.
Zhao Cheng picked up Yingying, let her sit on his shoulders, and walked towards the carriage.
"Bury these villagers first, and bury them shallowly, so that Qi Bainian can collect evidence more easily."
Xu An glanced at Yu Jin and said, "What are you doing standing still? Get moving. Do you need to pay extra for this?"
Yu Jin immediately became unhappy, glared at Xu An and said, "You have to do this kind of thing without money!"
