Chapter 123 Natural and Man-made Disasters
"Master Li... Master Li?" The old man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "It turns out that it is the Eldest Master. The little old man has no eyes. I hope the Eldest Master will not blame you."

Li Canghai hurriedly helped the two old people up, and said, "Old people, just listen to me and stay in the village ahead for two days, and I will definitely send people to pick you up and return to Zhengyang County. Ah Xu, go and stop all Let them all gather in the front village, and remember to get more food for fellow villagers."

Kang Xu nodded yes, and then went to the main road to dissuade the people.

"Xiaohua, you must listen to your grandparents and don't run around. Uncle will send someone to pick you up in two days." Li Canghai took out a money bag from his waist and stuffed it into the old man, calling for Xiaohua to come over, and took the remaining money from the carriage. He gave her a box of snacks, patted her on the head, and said gently.

"Canghai, why are there so many refugees?" Di Qing asked curiously as she had been taking care of the sleeping Fen'er in the carriage. She didn't know what happened.

Li Canghai jumped into the carriage, and said deeply: "Natural disasters are inevitable, man-made disasters are caused by right and wrong, let's talk while walking, drive!"

There was a slap of the whip, followed by a horse honking, and the carriage rolled up dust and drove away.

In the evening, Li Canghai drove to Zhengyang County.

At this time, the gate of Zhengyang County was closed tightly, and many refugees who fled from the city were sitting beside the city wall, looking at the city wall eagerly.

On the city wall, a few yamen servants patrolled back and forth, with a bonfire on it, as if they were cooking food, and the fragrance was wafting.

"Listen to the officials upstairs, quickly come down and open the door, let us enter the city!" Li Canghai reined in his horse and shouted loudly.

"The county captain has ordered that the gates of the city be closed at three o'clock in the next hour, and no one is allowed to enter!" An officer shouted.

"It's unreasonable, district captain, who gave him the right to act like this?" Li Canghai sternly scolded.

"You are so brave, you don't even pay attention to the county lieutenant, just watch the arrow!" The official snorted, picked up the bow and arrow, and shot directly at Li Canghai.

With a bang, the sharp arrow pierced through the air two feet in front of the horse, causing the officials on the city wall to burst into laughter.

"Boy, dare to look down on the county captain, do you still want to enter the city? If you want to enter the city, please be honest with the old men and hand over ten taels of silver, and the old men will let you in naturally, otherwise you will just stay outside obediently." Let's go!" Several officials laughed triumphantly with chicken legs in their hands.

Li Canghai's face was gloomy. Before he could speak, Di Qing opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

On the three-foot-high city wall, with a light tap of her toes, she jumped directly onto it.

While the sleeves were flying, only a few howls were heard, and several government servants were thrown down from the city wall.

"Ouch~."

"It hurts, it hurts to death!"

At a height of three feet, the servants who fell were howling and rolling on the ground.

After finishing all this, Di Qing jumped down directly. Her skirts were fluttering like a nine-day fairy. She landed on the carriage lightly and swiftly, and returned to the carriage in an instant.

All this happened in a blink of an eye, if Li Canghai didn't see a few government servants rolling on the ground, Li Canghai would have wondered if he was hallucinating.

Li Canghai jumped out of the carriage, strolled to the side of several yamen servants, stared at them condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "As a yamen servant, but careless about human life, who are you relying on?"

"Stinky boy, do you know who you offended? I am the county captain's brother. If you offend us, you offend the county captain. You still want to go to the city? Be careful if you don't get out!" The yamen servant twitched from the pain, but he still bared his teeth and kept yelling and cursing.

"Oh, you are the county lieutenant's brother, then I really offended you." Li Canghai sneered, he bent down to pick up the feather arrow stuck in the ground, walked up to the yamen servant, and suddenly stepped on it. At the man's wrist, he thrust the feather arrow into his palm.

"Ah~!"

A heart-piercing cry of pain was heard far away, and the yamen servant almost fainted from the pain.

"My lord, be merciful, be merciful!" At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and a fat man ran out from inside.

This fat man is none other than Chang Feng whom he met at Luofengji. At this time, he has taken off his police uniform and put on the uniform of guarding the city gate. Became a guard.

"Changtou, you came just in time, go and tell the county magistrate that someone is going to rebel!" The yamen servant rolled his eyes in pain, seeing Chang Feng running, he hurriedly shouted.

Chang Feng was so frightened that he trembled all over, and cursed: "Shut your beak, you're the fucking rebel, blind your dog's eyes, don't you even know the magistrate of this county?"

"County... magistrate?" The yamen servant was stunned for a while, he looked at Li Canghai for a while, and then at Chang Feng's respectful expression, his face suddenly turned pale.

"My... my lord, please forgive me! The villain has no eyes, offended the lord, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die." The yamen servant almost burst into tears, and he secretly called it unlucky. He had only met the new county magistrate once. They forgot all about it, not to mention, what they saw before was Kang Xu.

"I originally thought that you were just neglecting your duties and slowing down your work. I didn't expect that you were all evil officials who regarded human life as nothing. Since you are in my hands, I will kill you today!" Li Canghai frowned. Tiao, shouted angrily, and pulled out the feather arrow from the hand of the yamen servant.

The yamen servant let out a scream like killing a pig, rolled his eyes strangely, and passed out from the pain.

The rest of the yamen servants knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.

"In the future, if anyone bullies others or the common people, he will be your fate!" Li Canghai broke the feather arrow into two pieces, and said coldly: "This person has done bad deeds and tried to assassinate this official. This official sentenced him now." Fight two hundred, kick out of the Yamen, and never be hired!"

Those yamen servants kowtowed repeatedly in fright, begging for mercy.

"My lord, why didn't you say anything when you came, so I can go and greet you!" Chang Feng hurriedly stepped forward, nodding and bowing.

Li Canghai stared at him, and couldn't help sneering: "Chang Feng, don't think I can't see what you're thinking, since you've seen me coming, why didn't you stop him when he shot the arrow? I'm afraid In your heart, you also want to give this official a blow, right?"

Chang Feng was frightened with cold sweat on his forehead, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "My lord... I misunderstood, I misunderstood. The little one didn't dare to think about it, it was because the little one had a stomachache. He went to the latrine, and when he came out Only then did I realize that my lord came here, even if you borrowed ten guts from a villain, the villain would not dare!"

Chang Feng lowered his head, but his heart was extremely nervous. He had indeed seen Li Canghai before, and the reason why he didn't stop the yamen servant from making a move was indeed to give him a bad impression.It's just that he didn't expect that Li Canghai acted so fiercely that he even injured his own subordinates.
