Chapter 123 Bloodbath the county government

Du Chengfeng never expected that someone would reveal his identity as a rebel even though he had already produced his seal and the confession document.

As for whether it is true or false, this is not that important. After all, the county magistrate has already ordered to take him down on the spot—does he have to wait until he is imprisoned to clear up his grievances? thing?
Of course, if he really hasn't done it before, it can indeed be cleaned.

But the problem is, he really did it.

This is not something that can be investigated. If we really want to investigate further, I am afraid that not all the traces of his crimes will be found - so as the Ordnance Director of Jizhou, and as an innocent and good citizen, Du Chengfeng feels that he has to let Things stop here.

"Now that you've seen it...then I've seen it too."

Grabbing a water and fire stick casually, Du Chengfeng swung the stick round, and immediately beat the servants to their knees.

Then, Du Chengfeng pointed to the body on the ground.

"The thieves in Taiyin Mountain Temple are really daring, they dare to attack the county government, kill officials and rebel..."

"……what?"

The county magistrate Hao Chong was so shocked that he could not come to his senses.

That Zhang Qi is his close friend, and even personally taught him the technique of Xuan Min, why did he suddenly become a daring thief?
They even stormed the county government, killed officials and rebelled... Wait, kill officials?
"hiss!"

The county magistrate Hao Chong, who finally came to his senses, lost his soul, and his entire back was soaked in cold sweat in an instant, and even his trousers were already soaked with water.

However, at this moment of life and death, what Hao Chong thought of was still the art of the mysterious female.

It is said that there is great horror between life and death. Although Hao Chong has been practicing, he has never been as eager as he is now, eager to practice the technique of Xuan Min again—if he had such a heart for the Tao in the past, I'm afraid that he has already achieved the skill of Xuan Min, and he is as free and easy as Zhang Xianzhang on Taiyin Mountain.

But the problem is, even that Zhang Xianchang was beaten to pieces in the end...

"……Um?"

When the magistrate Hao Chong was in a trance, he suddenly discovered that the strong man named Du Chengfeng had just walked out.

He didn't die, but the rebel who threatened to kill officials and rebel left.

Could it be that God really has the virtue of good life?

"call……"

Hao Chong, who escaped from the dead, was immediately relieved. The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made his muscles and bones go limp, and those yamen servants who were knocked to the ground also supported each other while pointing at the next three roads. Tibetan words cursing the street.

However, at the time when the crowd was full of voices, the strong man named Du Chengfeng came back again.

He was also carrying a saddle bag in his hand.

The saddlebags were spread out on the ground, and a row of shining weapons caught the eye.

"Who should I use..."

Scanning the row of weapons in the saddle bag, Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

It was at this time that the county magistrate Hao Chong and all the government officials realized that the strong man named Du Chengfeng had not left, but had gone out to get a weapon.

"The decision is yours!"

As he said this, a strange sword without an edge was pulled out from the saddle bag.

Just hearing a bang, the county magistrate Hao Chong was immediately beaten until his brains burst and he died.

"Killed!!!"

Seeing that the county magistrate was knocked to death with a sword, all the yamen servants immediately fled in all directions.

But Du Chengfeng would not let these witnesses run away. After just a few ups and downs, Du Chengfeng chased after them and broke the limbs of these government officials.

It was just a matter of breaking his hands and feet. Du Chengfeng asked himself that he was not a murderous person, so how could he do such things as killing innocent people indiscriminately and treating human lives with indifference.

"Never mind."

Looking at the Founder's Sword in his hand, Du Chengfeng thought for a while and finally did not swing the sword down.

But just when these yamen servants were overjoyed, thinking that they had finally escaped, they saw Du Chengfeng whistle outside the county yamen.

Immediately afterwards, these yamen servants saw more than thirty ferocious prairie men rushing in. They tied them up firmly with just three or two strokes, and carried them out all the way.

The refugee team, which had lost over a hundred people due to the Taiyin Mountain Temple Incident, finally welcomed new members.

After Du Chengfeng left the county government office, the rest of the prairie warriors also came over on horseback. These prairie warriors were worthy of their reputation as elites. They only numbered less than 300 people, but they managed to outrun thousands of troops. The momentum - the entire Yiyang County suddenly fell into chaos. For a while, people thought that the grassland people had captured Yanzhou, bypassed Taiyin Mountain, and fought all the way over.

In this chaos, Du Chengfeng asked Liu Bolun for a few jars of wine, and then set fire to the county government.

After everything turns to ashes, there will be no evidence left.

"You... well, you did the right thing."

This time when he asked for a drink, Liu Bolun was sober. After listening to Du Chengfeng's story, Liu Bolun had already realized that the magistrate of Yiyang County and Zhang Qi probably knew each other. I'm afraid they were preparing to cause harm to others - if they hadn't caught up with Du Chengfeng, a real rebel, they might not all have died here.You must know that Du Chengfeng came out with the seal and ribbon. Even if it was for self-protection, the Yiyang County Magistrate would not leave him alive.

Du Chengfeng's current arrangement was the best solution in a desperate situation.

Anyway, just throw the blame to the prairie people. All this is a conspiracy of the prairie people. The hateful prairie people have already planted many secrets in Dachen territory. Zhang Qi from the Taiyin Mountain Temple is one of the spies. The prairie people are invincible, and with the support of the prairie people, the people in this mountain temple killed officials and rebelled, preparing to directly raise the flag and vote for the Mobei royal court.

However, the county magistrate Hao Chong had a strong temper and would rather die than obey, so he, like Governor Qi Jinshan Qi, died fighting the grassland bandits.

And they, the refugees in Yanzhou, could only continue to flee south to avoid the soldiers, just like the people in Yiyang County.

It's just a pity that Zhuangzi in Taiyin Mountain, Du Chengfeng actually thinks it's good to live there.

"So it's me again, right?"

On the edge of Yiyang County, on the carriage heading south, Liu Bolun let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I'll let everyone pay attention. Anyway, it was very chaotic that night, and many people didn't know what happened. Now this statement is an explanation... So why am I doing all the work? You just Can’t you change someone else?”

"Hey, those who can do more work are like this, thank you for your hard work."

Du Chengfeng bowed his hands to Liu Bolun with an apologetic look on his face.

These were not just polite words, at least in his eyes, Liu Bolun was really capable - this had been obvious in Yanzhou before. Du Chengfeng never expected that Liu Bolun could actually do it in Yanzhou. One hundred thousand residents were evacuated within five days, leaving an empty city for him to fight.

Is this really something humans can do?
You know, it is already extremely difficult to kill 10 people, but Liu Bolun was able to make the 10 people evacuate in an orderly manner within five days - although this process inevitably involved a number of small officials. With their assistance and the spontaneous cooperation of the people, Liu Bolun was able to achieve such a feat with only a group of small officials, and the people were willing to cooperate even though they knew they had to leave their hometown. This shows Liu Bolun's ability.

As someone who was singled out by Old Man Ruan and placed in the North, Liu Bolun was different from the good-for-nothing Wang Gaocheng. This person could really take matters into his own hands at critical moments.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that although Liu Bolun is capable, he often chooses not to use it.

Liu Bolun is more inclined to drink than to use his talents.

Just like it is now.

"Hey……"

Another long sigh, Liu Bolun picked up the wine jar before he finished his work.

"No, why did you start again?"

Seeing that Liu Bolun was about to drink again after being sober for a while, Du Chengfeng couldn't help shaking his head.

"Drink less. It's not good for your health. Drinking too much can easily damage your brain and lead to early death."

"I know the truth, it's just... hey."

With the wine jar in his arms, Liu Bolun sighed again.

"I just didn't expect that a mere county magistrate from Shannan Road could be so cruel. Not only did he allow Shan Temple to massacre people, but he even wanted to fabricate charges after the incident and unjustly kill the official. This is simply... ugh."

Having said this, Liu Bolun simply opened the mud seal and drank a big gulp of wine.

"...Don't persuade me, I just need to drink some wine to boost my confidence before doing this thing. After all, I know what the truth is like, but I have to tell people some beautiful lies... "

"It's fine if you can't do it. Don't force yourself. At worst, I will do it myself."

Speaking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it anymore.

But Liu Bolun shook his head.

"You can't do it. You're not drunk. No one will believe you if you say it. I'm different. When I'm drunk, I say drunken things, but they will think that what I say is true."

Saying this, Liu Bolun jumped off the carriage and headed towards the refugee team at the rear.

Just a few days after resting, they started fleeing again, which made the whole team look a bit dull.The folks in Yangjiabao are relatively better. After all, they have been fleeing since Jibei, and now they are a little accustomed to this kind of life on the road. The real pain is the new refugees in Yanzhou. These people left their homes because of the war. After finally escaping to Shannan Road, and even having the opportunity to seek immortality, who would have thought that those seemingly benevolent monks would actually do such a thing.

Not even as good as those grassland people, at least those grassland people really faced the sharp sword in order to protect them.

I thought I would be able to settle down by escaping to Shannan Road, but who knew that the only remaining hope was shattered. The monks who thought they were the savior wanted to kill them, but the prairie people who used to be enemies were protecting them...just a few days In the past few years, these Yanzhou refugees have experienced too much, and now they are walking south again, but many people have no thoughts in their hearts, only confusion.

Who is the enemy?Who is one's own?Where can they truly settle down and live their old lives again?

The world is so big, where should they go?
"Why are you thinking so much! Drink and drink!"

At this moment, Liu Bolun came over carrying a wine jar.

"This is all good wine I brewed myself. If I hadn't been in a good mood today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to drink this kind of good stuff for the rest of your life... Come on, come on! Take a sip of it! There's more left! There's plenty in the car. !”

"Good mood?"

Seeing Liu Bolun's dissolute appearance, many refugees turned pale.

"Everyone is fleeing, but you are actually in a good mood?"

"Of course I'm in a good mood, you don't know what happened."

Saying this, Liu Bolun pulled the ugly-faced refugees over and lowered his voice.

"I'm telling you, we have to run fast, otherwise, Yiyang County will be a mere county..."

Then there was a more secretive sound, which even the refugees a little further away could not hear clearly. Only the few people close to Liu Bolun could survive to hear what he was saying.

Then, these people exclaimed loudly.

"What? The prairie people are playing so fast..."

"Keep down! Do you want to scare everyone to death!"

Liu Bolun slapped the nearest refugee on the head.

"Anyway, the county town is really unsafe. We still have to go to the big city or the state capital... Anyway, don't tell anyone what happened just now. After all, I didn't see those prairie people with my own eyes. These are all guesses..."

"I understand what you mean."

Several refugees nodded repeatedly and assured Liu Bolun that they would keep secret.

After that, Liu Bolun carried the wine jar and walked around the refugee team for a while. It was not until the sky darkened and the team was preparing to camp and rest that he returned to the cart leading the way.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Seeing that the cart next to Liu Bolun was full of empty jars, and even the last wine jar in his arms was empty, Du Chengfeng thought for a moment, then simply picked a gourd from his waist and handed it to Liu Bolun.

Back then, Liu Bolun had given this wine gourd to him, but now the last gourd of wine has returned to Liu Bolun's hands.

"Forget it, that's all that's left, drink a little less."

Just opened the lid and smelled it, but Liu Bolun hung the gourd back on his waist.

"I don't know when the next time I'll make wine again... Hey, Da Chen."

"Just go to Yizhou, right? As you said, it is the state capital after all."

Having said that, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look up to the southeast.

That is the direction of Yizhou.

Although his time in Yiyang County was brief, it also gave him a general understanding of Nanchen's ability to deal with refugees.A mere mountain temple can attract tens of thousands of people, so when they arrive in Yizhou, these refugees should be able to find their own place to live.

"Let's take a look after we go, maybe I can live here in Yizhou."

Du Chengfeng thought so.

At the same time, the chaos in Yiyang County also spread to Yizhou City under the urgent report of the horse.

　The second update arrived, with two chapters and [-] words. It was a complete rest in the world. I went to swing a few sets of sledgehammers and then rested. Everyone also took a rest early.

　　Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your support and encouragement.

　　Thank you for my little scythe that won’t lose. I really can’t think of a good name. The stairs can only be rewarded. It’s a waste of money.

　　Thank you all for your support and love. See you all tomorrow afternoon.
