Chapter 2: The Puffing Pot (Twelve)

"This..." Ning Ziming had a brief experience and had never heard of Xu Yanwu's words before. He was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to seek confirmation from a group of local officials in the governor's yamen.

As if he couldn't bear to face his simple gaze, including the governor Wang Nu, all the local officials lowered their heads slightly and responded speechlessly.

At the same age, most of them were as simple and kind as Ning Ziming now, and had ambitions. They once firmly believed that after becoming an official, they would definitely be fair and honest and serve the country and the people. However, as they grew older and experienced, they gradually discovered that their thoughts in their youth were the most wishful dream in the world.

The so-called fairness and fairness are pure nonsense, and the law of the weak is the law of nature. If you want to be a good official, the biggest secret is to forget the dreams you were young and always stand on the side of the strong. Face your superiors, bow your knees, and be flatter your mind. When you are inferior, you will be in a strong position and make good friends.

In other words, if you want to be a good official who is praised by everyone, you cannot talk about conscience or fairness. In addition to flattering the superiors, governing the local area is to reduce weaknesses and strengthen them and go against the will of heaven. First, indulge the powerful people to recruit those who have the courage in the countryside to suppress the people. Then use the powerful people to restrain the brave people in the countryside so that they dare not cause trouble easily. Then, with the help of the official position and the support of the superiors, they can steadily seize the powerful people. This progression is the most effective way. As long as you can ensure that the power level is clear and there is no need to spend much effort, the people will be in order. On the contrary, the busier you are, the more chaotic you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, you will offend the local genius and not be able to achieve political achievements. In a few days, you have to return to your hometown!

However, these official ways are too far from what everyone has read and said, and it is really inconvenient to publicly state them. So everyone feels guilty, but no one is too stupid to stand up. Standing with Xu Yanwu, who will be executed soon, telling Ning Ziming with confidence that you are just wishful thinking idiot, and what Mr. Xu Si said is the ultimate truth.

Silence was very embarrassing. Compared with the tragic mistakes of the captives around, within twenty steps with Chang Si's war horse as the core, at this moment, it became the quietest area. No one stood up to help Ning Ziming refute Xu Yanwu, and no one stood up to admit that Xu Yanwu was talking about the reality of the officialdom. Everyone just lowered their heads, looked at the tip of their boots, full of worries, and quietly pricked their ears.

"Get back, you are still too tender!" After a few breaths, the first one to reach everyone's ears was the voice of the governor Chang Si.

"Yes!" As if he had just lost his battle and returned home with his armor, Ning Ziming bowed his hands with a blushing face and walked quickly to the side.

"The young man is ignorant of the world, so he makes Master Xu laugh!" After taking a few deep breaths, Chang Si put away the caltrop bones, flew off the horse, and nodded to Xu Yanwu with a smile.

"It's okay, he is still young!" A glimmer of hope quickly surged in Xu Yanwu's eyes, raised his head, and his lower lip was almost bent into a horoscope.

"You are right, it's a chaotic world now!" Chang Si's eyes met his eyes in the air, and sparks flew everywhere. "Since it's a chaotic world, naturally, whoever has a strong arm is right, and whoever has strong strength should make the rules."

"I dare not, I dare not. Xu has been an official for many years and has gained something in his heart!" Xu Yanwu took the conversation politely and smiled and was modest.

"But I won this battle today!" Chang Si's voice suddenly rose again, and it seemed like thunder in everyone's ears. The sunshine after noon shone on his fat body, making him shine brightly. It was like a god wearing golden armor, standing tall, dazzling and dazzling.

"Yes!" Xu Yanwu's eyes quickly dimmed, and a trace of hope had just risen in his heart and turned into ashes again. His body shook and his face was sweating. "The Jiedu master is more skilled, and he can make the governor and the regiment trainer bow so quickly, and join forces to lie to us to put down the soldiers and crossbows!"

"You are wrong!" Chang Si suddenly smiled, his round face full of pride, "I was not prepared at all, and I didn't expect that you and others would dare to take the initiative to gather together to show my strength. Before going to war with you and others, I didn't know which side the governor and the regiment training envoy were on, and I didn't ask them to help deceive you and others to put down the army!"

"Uh--!" Xu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, and his body was involuntarily retreating. The generals and followers of the other regiment training camps were also stunned. They all guessed wrongly, and Chang Si and the governor Wang Nu, and the regiment training envoy Fang Zheng had no tacit understanding at all. This man had to crush all the confidence of his opponents with his blood and courage. How could he have such a courage? How could he have such a courage?

With a frightened look, Zelu Jiedushi Chang Si looked around and declared proudly, "I don't believe it, right? I know you won't believe it. But I did it and won a clean and neat way. I can also tell you shamelessly that even if you still hold a spear and a crossbow today, even if you fight with the team training, the result will be the same in the end! I will still be on the horse and galloping on your body with my brothers, and you will still be vulnerable!"

"You..." Xu Yanwu's face turned black first, and wanted to say that Chang Si was arrogant. However, he gritted his teeth for a while, and finally sighed and lowered his head and murmured, "Since you are the one who won, you will naturally go and say it. I have no point in competing with you for these quarrels!"

"Hahaha..." Zelu Jiedushi Chang Si raised his head and laughed wildly, like crazy. After a while, he raised his hand to wipe the tears of laughter and said loudly: "It makes sense. I didn't expect that your surname Xu is such a wise person! I won today, so I say whatever I want and do whatever I want! If I lose to you, the mob today, I will be a dough Jiedushi in Zelu in the future. How do you knead it, and how do you knead it! As long as you don't rebel, the court will probably be too lazy to do more trouble!"

Xu Yanwu lowered his head, and it was rare that he had no answer at once. However, on his gray face, there was a big recognition.

"Whoever has a strong arm and head is right, and whoever has a strong strength should make rules. Since that's the case, I'm still talking to you! The person who came, dragged the surname Xu and the surname Li to the field and beheaded, and hung his head on the city wall for public display. All his property was confiscated, and all his wife and children were sold as slaves. Whoever dares to tolerate pleading for mercy will be punished as a crime of committing a bandit!"

"Yes!" Immediately, a personal soldier rushed forward, picked up Xu Yanwu and Li Liang, pushed him to the side of the road, and took a knife. Immediately, he tied his head with a rope, and hung it on the treetops and dried it. Waiting to return to the city later, he would hang the first city gate to serve as a warning to others.

Chang Si couldn't calm down his violent aura, so he waved and shouted loudly, "Wang Zhengzhong, quickly present the things you have collected in the past two months to this Jieduan! This Jieduan won today, and set rules!"

"Abide by the order!" Wang Zhengzhong, the commander of the guards, agreed loudly, and took out a thick stack of white paper with handwriting from a leather pocket behind the saddle, and showed his hands in front of Chang Si.

Chang Si picked up the first page casually and threw it to Ning Ziming, saying loudly, "Read, louder, let as many people as possible hear it!"

"Abide by the order!" Ning Ziming didn't know what medicine was sold in Chang Si's gourd. He held up the paper with both hands and read aloud, "Liang Yi, ancestral home in Shangdang. He was the commander of the infantry in the Luzhou Tuanliandaying. On the fourth day of the second month of the seventh year of Tianfu, he entered Jiming Post in the name of suppressing bandits. He killed all the wealthy Feng Laoshi family and the long-term workers and 67 servants. On the 14th day of the first month of the ninth year of Tianfu, he was entrusted by Han Yanqi to compete for his reputation in martial arts. Zhou Fu's wife was forced to be a concubine by Han Yanqi in the school. His son Zhou Baogui and his daughter Zhou Huan'er were missing. On the eighth day of the ninth year of Tianfu, he was entrusted with Wu Shuang in the third month of the ninth year of Tianfu..."

"Unforgivable-!" Before he could finish reading the text on a page of paper, several local military generals who were mentioned had already shouted and rushed out of the crowd. The surrounding Zhuang Dings who were responsible for surveillance were worried that they would not find the opportunity to redeem their sins, so how could they let them escape easily? They quickly surrounded them, punched and kicked them, and in a blink of an eye, they broke the bad guys and carried them to Chang Si like mud.

"Kill me, the head-mounted city gate will be displayed for the public!" The Jiedushi Chang Si waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" The personal soldiers dragged Liang Yi and others like a dog, and went to the roadside field to kill them in public. Chang Size turned his gaze to Ning Ziming, who was shocked, and urged loudly: "Continue to think about it, why are you standing there? Have you seen a dead person before, or have you not had enough food today?"

Ning Ziming's heart was slightly cold, and his voice was faintly dry. "Huang Jianzhong, his eldest son, was plundered by bandits when he was young, and his family was unable to pay the ransom, so he left the mountain village as a minion. In the spring of the sixth year of Tianfu, he was recruited into the Tuanlian camp. He was a hundred generals, and he was a fellow townsman with Liang Jun, Sun Jie, Lu Wen and others, and was called "the eldest son and four tigers". In the seventh year of Tianfu, he led his subordinates Liu Luoguo and Li Chuang and more than 20 confidants, pretending to be bandits and looting Jiming Temple, killing monks and innocent people for eighty years, and obtaining stolen money and goods..."

"Brothers, the ones surnamed Chang will kill everyone! We must not continue to die!" Suddenly, more than thirty strong men jumped out of the second, third and fourth group training teams who were separated from Lu Zuo, and while loudly motivating their companions to fight, they rushed towards the pile of weapons placed in the distance.

The cavalry behind Chang Si was prepared for a long time and immediately lined up to surround the people and killed them one by one. Then, carrying bloody horizontal swords, galloping around the captives.

An invisible murderous aura rolled over in the air, making Lian Yong and Zhuang Ding all look pale and their thighs are as soft as noodles. "Pu" "Pu" "Pu" "Pu" ... ..., batches of people fell to the ground one after another. Desolate crying sounds one after another.

"Continue to recite!" Chang Si's heart was like iron stone, and his voice was as cold as the ice in his old age.

No one dared to look at his face, and no one dared to meet his gaze. At this moment, he was the reincarnation of King Yama. With his hand raised, he determined life and death.
