Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The aunt looked at Liu Yunxiang and looked up and down first.

"Madam, you are not a local, are you?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I passed by this place on business, and to tell you the truth, I was robbed by Duan Youguang."

The aunt sighed, "Looking at the way you are dressed, it means you were robbed. You won't starve or freeze, right?"

"This, this is not the case."

"That's it, but we people are afraid that we won't survive this winter."

"How do you say that?"

"Didn't Mr. Duan get arrested by the government? Without him to get us food, we would not starve to death." As she said this, the aunt let out a long sigh.

"He was arrested by the government because he committed a major crime."

"The daughter of the old Zhang family owes Master Duan food, and Master Duan wants him to use his daughter to pay off the debt. As for what happened inside, we don't know. We only know that Master Duan is not a bad person."

"Isn't he a gangster?"

"He has raised a group of thugs, but he has not gone wild in the countryside, but he needs manpower. He sells goods to the west and has to be safe on the way. After selling the goods, he transfers to Dingbeiguan, then goes to Zhenbei to buy food, and then Transporting it back to Hukou City requires a lot of manpower. Once he gets the food, he sells it to us. But Hukou City is short of food, so he has to run back and forth."

"It must not be cheap if he sells it to you, right?"

The aunt shook her head, "Fifty coins and one stone."

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips. As far as she knew, Zhenbei's takeout of food cost at least one hundred coins and one stone. This was a completely loss-making business.

"Those who have no money can still borrow money. Isn't it because Lao Zhang owes too much on credit and can't pay it back? That's why Mr. Duan asked him to use his daughter to pay off the debt."

Why did Liu Yunxiang feel that the aunt's words were not credible, so he turned around and asked two more people, and they all said the same thing.

So Duan Youguang hijacked goods from the mainland, shipped them to West Vietnam to earn the price difference, then went to Zhenbei to buy grain, and finally sold it to the local people at low prices.

He does ruffian things.But they feed the people living in the tiger's mouth...

The people knew that he had been arrested and were afraid that they would have no food to buy in the future, so they all gathered together in a hurry.

At this time, someone stood on the wall of Duan's house and shouted: "There's no food! It's sold out! Everyone, please disperse!"

Upon hearing this, people outside became even more anxious.

"When will we have food?"

"If the second master is in prison, who will deliver food to you? There will be no more food in the future!"

Everyone started yelling at each other, and they all blamed the government for arresting Duan Youguang.

"Even if the government doesn't care about us people, and even if they arrest Mr. Duan, they still want to force us to death!"

"Everyone go to the government office and ask the officials to release Mr. Duan!"

"Yes, everyone goes!"

Zijin hurriedly protected Liu Yunxiang and retreated, and then the master and servant watched the people rushing towards the Yamen.

"Girl, the government is in trouble now," Zijin said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "You are indeed in big trouble."

After everyone left, Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and took Zijin to the old Zhang's house.They inquired all the way and found this home. They happened to see the lame old Zhang throwing a shabby mat onto the cart.

There was something rolled up in that torn mat, and Liu Yunxiang knew it was his daughter's body at a glance.

At this time, Lao Zhang's wife came out, looked around, and cried softly: "Are we just going to bury our daughter like this?"

"Otherwise, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

"Can……"

"Okay, Duan Youguang has been arrested and thrown into prison. No one will sell food to the people of Xicheng anymore. Everyone is complaining about our family. We buried her secretly to avoid causing trouble."

"But what's wrong with my daughter? She was also murdered."

"She shouldn't have hanged herself, and you, you shouldn't have cried and made a fuss and spread the news." "That incident harmed our daughter, but it was our fault?"

"Shh, stop talking and come back quickly."

After the lame man pushed the woman back, he pulled up the cart and turned out of the alley, heading out of the city.

"It doesn't matter if others hate his daughter, but he also blames his daughter. It's too much." Zi Jin curled his lips and said.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the lame man pulling the cart and running steadily and fast, "He is quite strong."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"When his daughter was taken away by Duan Youguang's men earlier, he chased her. He looked really hungry and weak. When the thugs pushed him, he fell down."

Zi Jin took a look and said, "I'm probably full."

"Where do you get the food?"

"This……"

Liu Yunxiang took Zijin to the government office. As expected, many people gathered outside, demanding that Duan Youguang be released.Fan Qiang led his soldiers to guard outside to prevent the people from rushing in.

Liu Yunxiang came to the yamen, and Liu Yunheng came out of the yamen just after the interrogation.

"Sister, Duan Youguang did not admit that he raped the Zhang family's daughter. He said that General Fan reprimanded him, and then he sent her home without doing anything."

"What do you think?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Liu Yunheng shook his head, "It's hard to judge. I have to investigate again."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "You go ahead, I'll go to the inner office to have a meeting with you."

He should have been sent to prison, but there were many people surrounding him outside, which would have caused trouble, so he had to be imprisoned in the inner office first.There was also a cell in the inner yamen. When Liu Yunxiang passed by, he saw that there was a light leaning against the wall with his legs crossed. The sunlight shone from the window and fell on him. He rested his legs comfortably.

I have never seen anyone in jail doing so comfortably.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and sat down on the chair brought by Zijin.When Duan Youguang saw her, he recognized her immediately, but his face was full of confusion.

"Who the hell are you?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at him and smiled, "I can come in and out of this yamen at will. Am I still an outsider? Who do you think I am?"

Duan Youguang was silent for a moment, thought of something, and hurriedly sat up straight, "You, could you..."

He didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, and instead knelt down, "Young man, pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It's rare that you understand the rules."

Duan Youguang lowered his head: "The people I admire the most are the King of Zhenbei and the Queen Mother."

"Oh?"

"I have heard many stories about you two, and I have always regarded you two as role models."

"You took us as your role model, and then you became a gangster, robbing people and bullying men and women?"

Duan Youguang groaned, "You are really unjust. I didn't touch the Zhang family's daughter at all."

"really?"

"I told you, she looks like that, and if I touch her, I will still suffer."

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "Speak carefully!"

Duan Youguang almost fell back into his old ways, so he straightened his face and said: "The young man asked his daughter to be captured. In fact, he knew that he planned to sell his daughter to an old man who was a bachelor. In order to help the girl, he deliberately said that he would let her go. She paid off the debt."

"Is there such a thing?"

Duan Youguang nodded, "I just told Mr. Liu that he has already gone to check on the old man."

Seeing how calm he was, Liu Yunxiang already believed him.Moreover, if he can help poor people, his moral character will not be too bad.

"Tell me, what have you done in the past few years." (End of chapter)
