Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 353
Zhou Zheng nodded and left as ordered.

"Shi Tao, hurry up and make arrangements. I think the resources near Pingyu must not be enough to build a house. You hurry up and pass on my order to order the surrounding counties to fully cooperate with the work of County Magistrate Zhou!" Feng Yao said again.

"Obey, my lord!" Shi Tao first bowed to Feng Yao, then clenched his fists at Xu Shu, and took leave.

At this time, Zhang Liang saw that he had nothing to do, and was about to leave Feng Yao. Feng Yao said, "Bokui, wait a moment, I want you to take me to see the lake we built!"

Zhang Liang nodded vigorously.

Feng Yao said to the rest of the people: "Let's go, let's go and see the current situation of Ruhu together!"

Yang Wu, Xu Shu, Man Chong, and Jian Yong accompanied each other, and Feng Yao brought another hundred followers, ready to ride out of the city together.

"My lord, I don't need to ride a horse anymore, I think it's more suitable to take a boat!" Zhang Liang said.

"By boat? We are in the city, so if we want to take a boat, we have to go to Ruhu Lake!" Feng Yao was taken aback.

"Yes, my lord, you once told your subordinates that you will deploy a navy on Ruhu Lake in the future. Afterwards, your subordinates thought that this navy would not live outside the city. If an enemy comes to attack, we will go in and out by ourselves." It was also inconvenient, so they simply built two piers in the city, one is an ordinary dock for ordinary people's ships to dock, and the other is a dock that can only be docked by our warships!" Zhang Liang said.

Hearing this, Feng Yao's eyes brightened. He walked up to Zhang Liang, patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, and praised: "Bokui, you did a great job on this! Before I came back, because I had just built a navy , I have thought about these things, but I didn’t expect you to have turned it into reality!!”

Since the boat can only enter the city directly, of course it is most suitable to go by boat!

Feng Yao immediately ordered Zhang Liang to lead the way, along the newly built spacious stone avenue, and immediately went to the wharf specially for the army to enter and exit.

Although Feng Yao didn't want to disturb the people in the city, and only brought a hundred followers, all the people who saw Feng Yao stopped in surprise along the way, and many people even recognized Feng Yao's identity, and they were very excited. Shouted "Mr. Feng!"

"My lord, this might be dangerous, why don't I order my followers to go forward?" Yang Wu worriedly asked.

"No need! This is our home, do we still have to be so afraid of the people at home?" Feng Yao said, and waved to the people.

Feng Yao's move made those people very excited, and some of them froze in place. After a while, when they woke up, they found that Feng Yao and others had passed by. Tell it all, and be proud of it.

Most of the adult people met on the road were in awe. Although they were excited, they did not dare to approach Feng Yao and his party. However, some children playing on the street did not know how to be afraid!

Soon, some children followed curiously, and learned Feng Yao's identity from the adults' conversations, so their eyes became more and more admirable, and even began to imitate the steps of those followers, Imagine marching in line.

The actions of these children are very cute and innocent, which makes Feng Yao and others who have just returned from the bloody battlefield have a different feeling.

Feng Yao even thought of the wives and concubines who had been separated for three months. Before leaving, many of them were already pregnant.

"Hehe, in a short while, I will have my own children. I wonder if they will look like this when they grow up..." Feng Yao said in his heart, showing a friendly smile to the children from time to time.

At this time, there was a sudden shout, and Feng Yao looked fiercely, and saw a middle-aged man, holding a whip to drive a donkey, beating a child about six years old among the children, and yelling at him. Said: "I make you naughty!!...! Make you naughty!!...!"

Every time he yelled and cursed, the whip in his hand would hit the six-year-old child's back hard.

With each slap, the body of the beaten child would tremble in pain, and within a few strokes, the child let out a wow and burst into tears.

Those children who were excited and curious just now were coaxed, and they all scattered and avoided, but they didn't run too far, but hid in the crowd, opened their eyes wide, and some even put their dirty fingers into their mouths, dumbfounded. He bit it blankly, showing helpless eyes, in which there was fear, confusion, and sympathy for the child who was being beaten.

Feng Yao's complexion changed, his brows frowned, and he stopped. Just as he was about to make a move, another four-year-old girl ran out, hugged the middle-aged man's leg tightly, and begged : "Father! Stop hitting brother! Stop hitting! Please!"

"Get up! If you do this again, I'll beat you up too!!" the little girl's father said angrily.

The little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears. At this time, a woman wearing shabby coarse clothes walked quickly, picked up the little girl, and wanted to persuade the little girl to be her father, but she didn't dare. I was able to shed tears, and cried together with the little girl in my arms.

The little girl's father saw a few people crying, and became more angry. He raised the whip violently, and wanted to beat the boy again!

Feng Yao was furious immediately, and yelled angrily across the street: "Stop!!"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the sound, and the whip in his hand froze in the air.

Yang Wu, who had been guarding Feng Yao's side all the time, immediately shouted after Feng Yao's shout without ordering, and all his relatives surrounded him, and Yang Wu rushed to the middle-aged man ahead of Feng Yao. At the side of the man, the middle-aged man's arms were lifted up, and with another force, the man was turned backwards and crushed to the ground.

Some passers-by who didn't pay attention to this matter just now immediately panicked and fled in all directions, not daring to collide with Feng Yao's subordinates.

Feng Yao walked over, but before he opened his mouth, he saw a surprising scene. He saw the little boy who was beaten, and the woman holding the little girl. Their faces were terrified at this time, not only did they not appreciate Feng Yao Instead, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Please, General, don't take my father away!" The little boy cried again in fear.

"General! It's all the little girl's fault. If you offend the general, please raise your hand and spare the child's father!" The woman nodded.

In the woman's arms, the little girl also opened her eyes wide with tears, and her face was stained with tears, she stared blankly at Feng Yao.

Feng Yao was a little surprised, and thought: "Did I do something wrong? I just want to help this child!..."

"My lord, what should I do?" Yang Wu raised his head and asked while pressing the man.

At this time, Xu Shu, Jian Yong, and Man Chong who followed Feng Yao also followed, but apparently none of them expected Feng Yao to make such a sudden move!His eyes were full of worry.

It is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, this is true!

Only now did Feng Yao realize the difficulty!If men are convicted, this seems to be a rote application of laws and regulations, which will have an unimaginable impact on their families! !If you don't care, I'm afraid the little boy will be beaten again in the future!
Xu Shu looked at Feng Yao, smiled wryly, shook his head, and said softly, "Master! Look around!"
