"Recently, someone in the east of the city wanted to go to the government to ask for pensions, but was arrested by the county magistrate..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Xiaoxiao continued:

"Rescuing people, right? No problem!"

Xue Ba on the side was frightened when he heard this.

Running to the prison to save someone is going against the court!

Xiao Yu'er shook his head, looking a little sad:

"No, it's not to save people. He originally suffered from a hidden disease and had only a few days to survive. He died on the second day after being imprisoned."

This made Xue Ba look strange and asked:

"No...no, this person is dead, so how can we help? We won't come back from the dead."

Xiao Yu'er's eyes were red, and he knelt down with a plop:

"This request of mine really...can't be expressed."

Xue Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward to help him and promised:

"Miss Xiao Yu'er, you should get up first. No matter what your request is, I will agree to it."

"Really...really?"

"Of course, can I still lie to you?"

Xue Ba's face turned pale, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart:

"What... do you want us to do?"

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky.

The dark night suddenly shines like daylight.

Xiao Yu'er looked at the father and daughter, rainwater sliding down his cheeks:

"I would like to ask you to kidnap Magistrate Zhou from Wanguo City."

The Red Flower Club is going to attack the government!

099 Moral Kidnapping

"I would like to ask you to kidnap Magistrate Zhou from Wanguo City."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ba looked horrified.

He quickly fell into disgrace and refused bluntly:

"I came here for dinner tonight just for my daughter's sake. Buddhism and Taoism are getting stronger day by day, squeezing the living space of other sects. Our father and daughter were forced to run away and came to Wanguo City, hoping to find a good son-in-law and bring Qi Men Dunjia to the city. Let's pass it on in one line. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to live a stable life. It's better to be less involved in right and wrong like you."

Xiao Yu'er raised his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes:

"I know that this matter will make you very embarrassed. If it were other people, they would have the same concerns. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. If one person does not handle it well, it will be a matter of losing one's head. This request The reason you are helping is because you value your ability and get County Magistrate Zhou out. Subsequent matters will be borne by the Honghua Society and will not have any contact with you."

Xue Xiaoxiao looked confused and wavered a little.

She held the other person's hand and tried to persuade:

"Miss Xiao Yu'er, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I can see that you are not a reckless person. I really don't understand why you have to go to this step?"

"Hey."

Xiao Yu'er shook his head and sighed heavily:

"There is no other way."

This made Xue Xiaoxiao even more swayed and said with relief:

"Miss Xiao Yu'er, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help you!"

"Little girl, let me ask you three questions."

"Well, tell me."

Xiao Yu'er raised his head, his eyes firm and serious:

"If the backbone of a family dies in a war, should the court provide certain compensation?"

"Should."

"The families of these soldiers are not greedy for more. They just want to get their due share of the pension. Isn't that too much?"

"Not too much."

"Okay, then let me ask you again. If this life-saving money is withheld by the government, what will you do?"

"This……"

Xue Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and responded uncertainly:

"Feedback to the city lord?"

"The city lord of Wanguo City is not in Wanguo City all year round. All channels for feedback are from the government. Petitioning is a dead end, and it is useless to complain to the imperial city. You are young now and can work, but those old people and children What about them? They have no ability to make money, and they can’t get pensions. What else can they do except live on?"

These words that struck straight to the soul left Xue Xiaoxiao speechless.

Xue Ba frowned, still trying to defend:

"But there's no need to kidnap the imperial official, right?"

Xiao Yu'er shook his head, looking helpless:

"My personal abilities are always limited. The Red Flower Club's abilities also have limits. Do you know how many people died in the war with the foreigners a year ago?"

Seeing that the father and daughter remained silent, Xiao Yuer's eyes suddenly raised her voice:

"Fifty thousand, a whole fifty thousand! They were crowded in filthy cheap boats, killed by cannonballs, shot to death, fell into the water and drowned. Not one in a hundred could come back alive. A whole fifty thousand The whole family has lost its mainstay. Even the money for the ship and the life-saving money are eaten. Do you think there is any money that corrupt officials cannot eat?"

Xue Ba opened his mouth but said nothing.

What the other party said is not false, everything is the truth.

The Xia Dynasty's corruption was rotten to the core.

Seeing that the father and daughter still didn't talk to each other, Xiao Yu'er continued:

"I can promise not to involve you. All you need to do is approach the county government office with your mask on and get Magistrate Zhou out. All subsequent matters will be left to the Red Flower Society."

Xue Xiaoxiao slapped his mouth and thought it made sense.

Those families with daughters-in-law can barely survive.

But a bachelor without a wife has no one to take care of the elderly at home.

This life-saving money should not be squandered under any circumstances.

The elderly have no source of income and all rely on pensions.

Depriving someone of their money is tantamount to taking their life.

Such corrupt officials do deserve punishment.

Thinking of this, Xue Xiaoxiao was a little excited.

Those figures who punish evil and promote good, and perform chivalrous acts of justice, expand rapidly in their hearts:

"Dad, why don't you help her."

"Father knows that the court is not good, but...we can't do this."

Seeing the father and daughter wavering, Xiao Yuer began to value:

"Which is more important, one person's life or the lives of tens of thousands of people? If corrupt officials are uncovered and pensions are recovered, tens of thousands of families can be saved. Even if I am wanted by the court, I am willing to resist these crimes. If I ignore them, Let them die of hunger and cold. To be honest, I can't do it, I really can't..."

Deeply in love, she tightened her red eyes:

"Obviously we can recover pensions and save countless lives. If I stand by and wait for the tragedy to happen like you do, to be honest, I will not be able to help the torment of my conscience, and I will feel that I have killed them!"

Xue Xiaoxiao lowered his head guiltily, obviously moved.

She has been practicing in the sect since she was a child and rarely experiences in the human world.

Due to the birthmark on his face that cannot be removed soon, he has a withdrawn personality and has only a handful of friends.

After all, she is just a young girl under 20 years old and in adolescence.

Based on her own views, she believed that Xiao Yuer's approach was not wrong.

It is obvious which one is more important than one person or [-] families.

"Dad, just help her. Miss Xiao Yu'er also said that the subsequent events have nothing to do with us."

Xue Ba was also somewhat convinced, but reason told him that he could not agree:

"I want you to go, I won't go."

"Okay, I'll go when I go."

Xue Xiaoxiao rolled up his sleeves and was full of enthusiasm:

"I can also change my body. At worst, I can use invisibility to escape after the replacement."

Xue Baba was angry, but his daughter actually agreed.

He was a little panicked and quickly corrected:

"Xiaoxiao, you are so stupid, you are being used as a weapon!"

"What are you talking about? Daddy, what you said is too unpleasant. Miss Xiao Yuer said that we will cover our faces throughout the whole process and our identities will not be exposed. After replacing Magistrate Zhou, they will be responsible for the rest. At the beginning, I took the initiative to clarify The ability to apparate. This was all voluntary, she didn't force me."

Xue Ba saw that he could not convince his daughter, and his teeth were chattering:

"You guys, have you already thought about how to plot against us?"

Xiao Yu'er's face returned to calmness and he denied:

"If you don't show up, I will send someone to sneak into the county government office. The difference is just a different method."

The rain was pouring and falling along the eaves.
