Chapter 162.Don't talk nonsense when in danger
"Shouldn't you do it?" Hong Lie raised his eyebrows, looked that Old Master Wu up and down, then turned to look at Zou Yi.

"This is Old Master Wu Zhengwu from Nanqiong Academy." Zou Yi briefly introduced.

"Master of the academy?" Hong Lie raised his eyebrows even higher.He couldn't figure out how a teacher from Nanqiong Academy in Huangdi City would come to such a place where no shit is possible, and even talk such nonsense to himself.

"It's true that I'm the master of the academy, but that's a thing of the past." Old Master Wu touched the beard on his chin, and said slowly: "Now, he is entrusted by the current prince to assist the new prefect of Shangjing."

"The new prefect of Shangjing?!"

Hearing this title, Hong Lie's eyes flashed, but he was thinking about something, and his brows gradually became more and more wrinkled.

No matter what, Shangjing finally had another prefect, and it was sent by Emperor Xuanyuan, which should be a good thing anyway.Master Wu said so, and he also hoped that Hong Lie would know that now that Shangjing City has a master again, these exiled people can also rely on them again, and they don't have to live in this kind of life of looting and robbing houses and having a meal without a meal. .But who would have thought that when Hong Lie heard the news, he was not as happy as he imagined, on the contrary, he seemed not very happy, which was a bit beyond Master Wu's expectation.

When he was wondering, a robber next to him spoke out Hong Lie's thoughts.

"Another prefect, what's the use? It's either eaten by monsters, or complicit with those monsters. Our life is even more difficult."

"Uh—" Wu Zheng didn't know what to say for a while.

He is not very familiar with the new prefect, and even after getting along with him these few days, he still had some misunderstandings, so naturally he can't say anything righteous and awe-inspiring right now.But if these words are not said, I am afraid that these robbers will not let them go easily.

When he was in a difficult situation, someone among the group of prisoners suddenly said: "Eating by a monster? You are joking! You probably don't know how our Master Shen became the prefect of Shangjing."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, let alone Hong Lie and the others, even Master Wu and Zou Yi pricked up their ears.

There is no way, things in the court cannot be easily spread to the people, so not many people know about Shen Yunfei finding the Dragon Ball and killing Hong Xi.Although the news will spread out sooner or later, it is not a matter of a day or two after all.

And because the officials in the court wanted Shen Yunfei to leave the Yellow Emperor City immediately, the appointment was sent out quickly and quickly, so the news had not spread until Shen Yunfei left the Yellow Emperor City.

In addition, due to time constraints, when the prince was looking for someone, he didn't have time to clarify Shen Yunfei's identity, so until now, Master Wu and the others knew nothing about Shen Yunfei except that he was a merchant. .

On the other hand, those prisoners, because they were imprisoned in the official prison before they came out, and the jailer in the place where they were imprisoned happened to have something to do with the palace, so they knew a little about the whole story.This is also one of the reasons why they have been so flattering to Shen Yunfei from the very beginning.

As for why they didn't tell the ten scholars the news, there are probably many reasons for this.The biggest possibility is that they knew that once these scholars understood the truth, their attitude towards Shen Yunfei would definitely be different.And judging from the contact with Shen Yunfei in the past few days, once the attitudes of these scholars changed, Shen Yunfei would treat them differently. At that time, his status as a prisoner slave would probably be...

Although the matter will definitely be settled in the end, it will be a day later if it can be delayed.As long as he has obtained Shen Yunfei's favor, then he will not be afraid of what these scholars will say.

It's not that these prisoners and slaves have any prejudice against scholars, but they are all people who have experienced a lot from top to bottom, so they naturally think a little more in their hearts.In terms of knowledge, they may not be as good as these scholars, but in terms of fighting for favor and understanding, those scholars can't catch up.

After so many days, the relationship between the scholars and Shen Yunfei is still so stiff, it is hard to say whether there is any reason for these criminals.

It was the leader of the group of criminals who spoke, that is, the middle-aged man who had been following Shen Yunfei all this time.

His surname is Duan, and his given name is Lin. Before committing the crime, he was the local governor, good at managing construction and money and food. Among the prisoners, his original position was considered the highest.After Shen Yunfei read the list given to him by the crown prince, he immediately decided that Duan Lin would be in charge of all the property, food and grass. In the eyes of others, this was a rare kind of trust. I have never even asked about the crimes. If it is because of corruption, then hand over the money and food to him, then it will be...

In fact, this only shows that everyone is a villain at heart.Shen Yunfei didn't believe in Duan Lin's character, but believed in the prince's vision.

It is impossible for Ji Xiaobai not to know that in order to govern Shangjing, apart from killing demons and calming the people, the most important thing is how to rebuild Shangjing.And since it is going to be rebuilt, construction and management are naturally the top priority.That being the case, it is absolutely impossible for him to send a corrupt official to help Shen Yunfei.

Therefore, Shen Yunfei absolutely has reason to believe that the twenty people sent by the prince may not be too extraordinary in ability, but there must be none who are corrupt.Otherwise, it's not helping him, but hurting him.

Will the crown prince harm Shen Yunfei?Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for him to do so, whether in public or private.So Shen Yunfei was very relieved to use these people.

*****************************************
After hearing Duan Linzai's words, everyone waited quietly for the next sentence.It's a pity that after Duan Lin finished speaking, he didn't speak again, as if he wanted to hang people's mouth on purpose.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it." Hong Lie seemed to see through Duan Lin's mind, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Anyway, it's just some noble person sent by the imperial court. We have seen many such things. If he really What's your ability, why haven't you shown up yet? At this time, where is your prefect?"

"..." Duan Lin didn't speak, and the others could only look at each other, no one knew where Shen Yunfei and Hua Yingyue went to at this time.

However, it is really embarrassing to guess what a young man with a full-blooded spirit and a coquettish woman choose to stay away from the crowd at such a time, and even less dare to speak casually.Saying such a thing at such a time makes it hard not to doubt Shen Yunfei's character.

Although the time is not in broad daylight, it is still in the wilderness.If the prefect really did something in this kind of place, if it got out, it would be...

Hong Lie knew that there was a young man and a beautiful woman in this team, but he didn't know that the young man's identity would be the new prefect of Shangjing, and he didn't know where they went now.However, his thoughts were almost the same as Duan Lin's, so his expression became even more weird.

"With such a prefect, the future of the people in the capital can be imagined. Rather than letting him take office, it would be better..."

Speaking of this, Hong Lie's eyes showed a murderous intent, and there was no need to say more about the following words.

"No!"

"Can't!"

Two voices called out at the same time, one was Master Wu, and the other was Duan Lin.

Master Wu said no, it was naturally out of moral considerations, and Duan Lin...

"If you have this kind of thinking, then I can only say that you are stupid." Duan Lin took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind and said: "The reason why Mr. Shen was appointed as the prefect of Shangjing is because he is the leader of the entire Shangjing County. benefactor."

"benefactor?"

This kind of statement is really new, not to mention that the scholars didn't know, even the prisoners who were with Duan Lin showed expressions of surprise.

Wasn't it because Shen Yunfei was awarded the title of Shangjing that he retrieved the Dragon Ball?
Duan Lin looked back at the crowd and sighed silently.

It is true that Shen Yunfei found the Dragon Ball.But this kind of gong is too far away for ordinary people, so far away that they can't feel any benefits at all.

All the other prisoners knew was just this matter, but Duan Lin knew more than them.

Why is Shen Yunfei's fief not other places, but Shangjing?The reason why the ministers in the court suddenly remembered this place was because Shen Yunfei did something earth-shattering in Shangjing before going to Huangdi City.

Duan Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Since you are all citizens of Shangjing County, you must know about Shangjing City a while ago, right?"

"Go to the capital? Are you talking about the flood?" Hong Lie asked.

"That's right." Duan Lin said: "Don't you want to know why there is a sudden flood in Shangjing City for no reason?"

Anyone with a little common sense should know that the high incidence of floods is in midsummer, and it is already autumn at this time. Flooding at this time is by no means a normal phenomenon.Even if there is going to be a flood, it should be in the surrounding area, but this time the flood originally occurred in Shangjing City.

From this point of view, there can only be one explanation--the devil is causing trouble!
"You mean..." Hong Lie asked.

"The flood was caused by the double-headed jiao. The reason why Mr. Shen was named the prefect of Shangjing was because he personally killed the double-headed jiao Hongxi!" Duan Lin said word by word.

"Kill...kill Hong Xi?!" Hong Lie was stunned, Zou Yi was also stunned, but most of the others had very strange expressions.

None of them are from the world, so naturally they don't know Hong Xi's background.However, Zou Yi and Hong Lie, who were the four major courtiers in Shangjing back then, couldn't possibly not know who Hong Xi was.

One must know that as Gonggong's mount, Hong Xi's status was comparable to that of the four great courtiers back then.As for the matter of Hong Xi becoming a monster, the four major courtier tribes naturally heard about it, and felt deeply ashamed and resentful about it.

Now, someone actually killed Hong Xi, which was really shocking to Zou Yi and Hong Lie.
