Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 368 Sir, please save me

Pushing open the gate of the mansion, Yang Qian saw thousands of ordinary people in front of him.

Some were in ragged clothes, some were in coarse cloth shorts, and a few were relatively well-dressed. These people gathered together and looked at Yang Qian standing on the stairs at the entrance of the mansion.

"Please, sir, save us!"

"Sir, help me get revenge! My wife and children were eaten by the evil spirits in Qibao Mountain!"

"Please sir!"

"Sir, please help us!"

This was the first time Yang Qian felt pleaded with by so many people. Even the initial confusion soon turned into a unified sentence: Please, sir, save us!
As they talked, they knelt down. Many of them even cried. I don’t know if it was because they remembered the tragic past, or because they were nervous about seeing hope, or because they were crying with joy.

How could the common people react so quickly? They all left the city and knew Yang Qian's location so clearly?
Yang Qian turned his head and looked at Wen Qing who was also kneeling on the ground.

"You were the one who brought them together, weren't you?"

"Yes, sir! I know that you have no intention of interfering in the affairs of Bianxia, ​​and you should have other plans, but the people of Bianxia really can't hold on any longer. A few days ago, Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin came to collect taxes again. They collected head taxes. They used to collect outside the city, but later they collected inside the city, and even ignored the city defense.

Ten people killed one person at a time, and then ten people killed two people the next time. After a few times, the city would be exhausted. They would then use secret methods to give birth to the people in the city.
Other places are miserable, but here in Bianxia it is hell!

Sir! I will tell you clearly that this matter was caused by the mansion lord Xiao who asked his subordinates to play a pity game for you and forced you to cause trouble for Qibao Mountain and Yuzhu Forest. You should understand the conspiracy once I tell you.

But I still did it, I really had no choice!

Please have mercy, Master! Even if there are other forces that want to get involved in Bianxia in the future, as long as they are not evil things like Qibao Mountain and Yuzhulin, it will be fine!

If you are still angry afterwards, you can just kill Wen Qing to vent your anger.

Please, sir! "

This time Yang Qian was a little confused. He didn't expect that the other party would directly reveal that he was instructed by Xiao Cangyu to deliberately stir up the people's desire to survive, and then take advantage of Yang Qian's desire to "set things right" to force Yang Qian to take the initiative to cause trouble for Qibao Mountain and Yuzhulin.

Just like Baiguling and Sanshisandong, Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin are the gloves of Chansidong and Feiyungu in Wanli Bamboo Sea. The destruction of Baiguling and Sanshisandong has already put Yang Qian on the opposite side of Chansidong and Feiyungu, not to mention that he had rejected the other party's solicitation in the morgue of the charity hall before.

If Qibao Mountain and Yuzhu Forest were exposed now, it would undoubtedly speed up the enemy's revenge, so that Yang Qian would be attacked from both sides.

So Yang Qian originally planned to get rid of Xiao Cangyu first. After all, stabilizing the country first is the safest way.

But now, after being treated like this by Wen Qing, Yang Qian's deeply frowned brows relaxed as he watched tens of thousands of people kneeling on the ground crying and begging for his protection.

"You don't have to beg for mercy. Shuangqing Prefecture is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. This shouldn't happen! Now that I'm here, I won't just sit there and do nothing. Even if Baiguling and the Thirty-three Caves are gone, at least the local people can enjoy a period of peace.

Now that I'm here with Bian Xia, I won't leave just like that.

You guys go back first, trust me, I will give you a stable life in Bianxiacheng."

Yang Qian's voice was not loud, but he used his magic power to ensure that everyone present could hear what he said clearly. At the same time, his voice contained a means of calming the souls, which also had a miraculous effect in calming the emotions of these people. "Go back, life must go on. Do what you should do, such as cleaning up those evil spirits and bandits who devour and kill people is my responsibility.

Believe me. "

Following Yang Qian's persuasion, the crowd outside the manor began to disperse. Yang Qian also returned to the mansion, and while he had people collect the bodies of the inner guards, he dismissed the irrelevant people and listened to Qing's explanation of the whole story under a big elm tree in the backyard.

"Sir, I understand how much you distrust the officials in Shuangqing Prefecture. But please believe me, not all officials here are rotten. There are many people who still hope that the country can save this desolate hell.

Sir, Wen Qing is willing to die and begs you to save these people in Bianxia! They are really miserable."

Wen Qing knelt on the ground. It was not Yang Qian who asked him to kneel, but he felt that he had forced Yang Qian, and wanted to kneel down to apologize.

Of course, the serious look on his face seemed to indicate that Yang Qian was really willing to die. There was even a hint of desire for release in his expression.

As Wen Qing spoke, Yang Qian's long-suppressed anger showed signs of surfacing again.

Compared to being plundered wantonly in Taocheng, where they had to make a living by paying for their food, and being treated like a pigsty in Pingcheng, where they could be killed at will, the common people in Bianxia were indeed much more miserable.

The Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin factions that controlled Bianxia were much more arrogant and cruel.

Taocheng and Pingcheng emphasize "steady and long-term development". In fact, Bianxia also emphasizes this, but in a different way.

Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin prefer violent harvesting and don't even mind slaughtering half of the city. After all, they're going to eat to their heart's content, and there's no such thing as chewing slowly.

When they have eaten almost enough, they will use magic weapons to induce labor, strengthen people's desires, and stimulate production, leaving the rest of the people reduced to pathetic livestock.

This is actually not sustainable. But with Xiao Cangyu's help, it will be different.

The newborns here are sent to other cities, and young and middle-aged people are transferred from other cities to continue having children, so as to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.

It would be fine if Wen Qing went along with the evil, but he couldn't get over it. But he was powerless and could only do what he could to help the people in the city live one more day.

"Where's the garrison?"

"Wei Shu. Just an accomplice." When Wen Qing mentioned Wei Shu, his eyes turned red.

"Who killed my guards?"

"I don't know. But if you want to know, you can go to the only restaurant in the city. There is a stall of the fox tribe there, and you should be able to get some information."

"Well, let's go back to the city. I need to sort out the things on hand first. We can't rush the things later." Yang Qian chose to trust Wen Qing temporarily. At least based on his experience in judging people, Wen Qing was obviously more sincere than Li Yifu and Kuang Yu he had met before.

Even if Wen Qing was acting, the suffering of the people in Bianxia could not be faked. Yang Qian said "no rush" because he wanted to stay in Bianxia for a few days to see if it was really as miserable as Wen Qing said. At the same time, he also wanted to see if anyone would take advantage of him being alone to do something bad to him.

However, when Yang Qian heard the word "fox clan", he was still a little moved. He understood that what he was talking about was the group of demon cultivators in Shuangqing Prefecture that Hu Ming represented, which was independent of the main forces: Tianyin Pavilion.
