"Of these two people, one is from Daotai in this city, named 'Wu Xinyi', and the other is 'Shang Chihui' from Guiyi Division Xuntian Prison. They currently live in Daotai Mansion." Mrs. Dai's expression showed no trace of emotion.
He was hesitant and tangled, his tone was very calm, it seemed that he was not talking about killing two people, but about slaughtering two pigs and sheep, "As long as you take the heads of these two people and give them to you and me, the location of 'Xiaochou'
, I will definitely tell you.”
Ji Cha was stunned when he heard it. It took him a few breaths before he slowly responded: "What? You want me to kill the people from the Taoist Tower and the Tianxian Prison in this city? Mrs. Dai, you mustn't be sleeping!"
Mrs. Dai shook her head and said: "Of course not. I have thought clearly that these two people must be killed. Why, the world-famous bamboo cutter and tea picker don't even dare to kill two dog officials?"
Ji Cha scolded: "Grandma, who are you looking down on? There are still guys in the world that my tea pickers dare not kill? However, I, my tea pickers, are not the kind of poor killers who kill for anyone who gives them money. You do it?"
Tell me why you asked me to kill these two people."
Seeing Ji Cha's appearance, Mrs. Dai's depression from last night to now dissipated a lot. She covered her mouth with her sleeves, smiled softly, put down her sleeves again, and said: "These two people are dogs that deserve to be killed."
Officials. Killing them is to eliminate harm for the people."
Ji Cha said: "Wu Xinyi's reputation is indeed bad. I have seen many people complaining about him. It seems that taxes were collected too early, the grace period given was too short, and he has done some disgraceful things.
As for the person from the Tianxian Prison, I have never heard of him."
"Not only that." Mrs. Dai said, "Wu Xinyi colluded with several local sects and gangs, opened casinos, set up flower houses, and secretly engaged in many nefarious businesses. The casinos he invested in hired people to place bets, and secretly
odds, let
Many people lost all their money and even sold their sons and daughters to repay the money. They also traded people with out-of-town bandits and threw the women they plundered into the flower houses to pick up guests. If they had too strong tempers, they would beat them directly.
Kill."
When Ji Cha heard this, he said angrily: "He is really a dog official. What he does is simply eating the flesh of the people and drinking the blood of the people." The conversation changed again: "He is harming one party, your brother Shan.
What are you doing to eat and just watching? Are you colluding with him and sitting on the ground to share the spoils?"
"My Brother Shan will never associate with such villains." Mrs. Dai said these words in a very serious voice, "In fact, Brother Shan went to the court more than once to participate in Wu Xinyi's actions, but Wu Xinyi took it for granted.
Qian had established friendships with many people in the court. Even if the court sent people to investigate and collect evidence, it would only be a matter of closing the casino for a few days and waiting for the people from the court to leave.
Return to normal. The bad things he has done are far more than these, such as creating unjust cases, shielding evil people, and taking human lives lightly... If I were to talk about them in detail one by one, I would not be able to finish them for several days. Wu Xinyi's behavior in recent years
He is becoming more and more unscrupulous and blatant. If you ask the people in this city, they will know some of the evil deeds Wu Xinyi has done."
"Well, this person should be killed, so it's up to this bamboo cutter!" Ji Cha patted Hong Chen on the shoulder and asked Mrs. Dai, "What's going on with that person in the Tianxian Prison? The flower building in our city's casino,
Does he also have shares?"
Mrs. Dai said: "That's not true. But I have heard that Shang Chihui likes to collude with local governors like Wu Xinyi and accept bribes from them to frame other people and let honest and good officials who make decisions for the people come in."
Prison, corrupt officials and evil thieves who prey on the common people are at large."
Ji Cha nodded and said: "In that case, then Shang Chihui is also a dog official. Okay, let's leave the matter of killing him to this bamboo cutter."
Mrs. Dai said: "Besides, I have another request."
Ji Cha said: "Why are there still demands? Didn't you just say that killing two people would be enough? This will require us to kill one more person? Did you agree to this and you will mention another one?"
Mrs. Dai said: "No. This request is very simple. It does not mean killing other people. It just asks you to leave a sentence when you kill someone so that others can hear it."
Ji Cha asked: "What are you talking about?"
"Say that you were ordered by Dai Wanshan to kill them."
Mrs. Dai's answer really surprised Ji Cha.
Ji Cha really wanted to touch Mrs. Dai's forehead to see if she had a fever and was talking nonsense: "Are you sure? In this case, your brother Shan will become the sinner of killing his colleagues!"
"I have already thought it through," Mrs. Dai said. "If you agree to my request, take action tonight and come back before dawn tomorrow with the heads of those two people."
Ji Cha couldn't help but think that Mrs. Dai's strange request was probably not some conspiracy. But Mrs. Dai never left the room and only spoke a few words to her maid. Even her daughter Dai Yue wanted to come to the study to see her.
, she was ordered not to come in and disturb her.
"Hmph, forget it. Those two dog officials are not good people anyway. Killing them can be regarded as benefiting the people. Moreover, the 'Xiaochou' is a long-lost magical sword, and the 'Heavenly Iron' can be refined from it.
I'm afraid it's more than any other magic weapon I've ever gotten."
Ji Cha made a decision in his heart and turned to Hong Chen: "Let's go to Daotai Mansion to kill people!"
Hong Chen was startled: "I'm still hungry."
Mrs. Dai pointed to the table: "Here are the remaining fruits and vegetables and cold porridge. If you don't eat enough, I will ask the kitchen to make some hot dishes for you."
Hong Chen said: "That's good." Ji Cha twisted his arm: "What's good? Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. Cold porridge and fruits and vegetables would be good. Do you still want to eat hot dishes?"
Stewed meat? Have some snacks?" Hong Chen changed his mind and said, "I originally said that cold porridge is good. I like to drink cold porridge and eat fruits and vegetables, which is light."
By the time Hong Chen finished drinking the cold porridge and eating the fruits and vegetables, night had already enveloped the earth. The sky was completely dark, and even the stars could not be seen. Mrs. Dai lit a paper lantern and handed it to Ji Cha: "It's too dark, you guys
Just turn on the light and go."
Ji Cha took the lantern and handed it to Hong Chen: "Practice holding the lantern. Be sure to be steady. Be careful that the candle inside touches the paper outside, otherwise the whole lantern will catch fire." Hong Chen took the lantern and carefully
Carrying it, he and Ji Cha walked out of the study door.
Mrs. Dai watched the two of them walk to the courtyard wall and jump out, then went to the house to light another lantern, and then carried the lantern until they walked to the courtyard where her daughter lived.
Dai Yue was dressing up in the mirror under the lamp when she heard someone knocking on the door outside and asked, "Who is it?"
Mrs. Dai said: "It's me."
Dai Yue quickly stood up and opened the door, smiling and saying: "Mom, you have finished all your work!"
But Mrs. Dai looked serious and said, "Yue'er, pack your own things, and then you and I will pack your father's things. When your father comes back, we will leave Tianwei City together."
Dai Yue asked: "Are we going to Tianjing with daddy?"
"no."
"Then where are we going?"
"Just pack your things. I'll help you."
Mrs. Dai and Dai Yue organized the clothes and jewelry in the house together and packed them into a medium-sized package.
Before going out, Dai Yue said, "It always rains in autumn, so I'll take the bamboo hat and raincoat with me too!" Then he took off the bamboo hat and raincoat on the wall.
The night is dark and the wind is high.
Hong Chen carried two swords on his waist and walked in front with a lantern, while Ji Cha followed behind with an iron claw on his left hand.
"The moon is dark and the night is full of murders, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fire." Hong Chen suddenly said, "Last time you set fire in Ziyun City, this time it is my turn to kill people in Tianwei City."
Ji Cha said: "I have only said this once, but you still remember it. Why are you scared when it comes to killing people? Have you never killed anyone before?"
"It's true that I haven't killed anyone."
"Then we are going to kill people this time, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. It's not like I've never seen someone kill someone before. The one I killed this time was a dog official who deserves to be killed. I won't be able to defeat the people of Daotai Mansion, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Then why are you feeling so emotional all of a sudden?"
"I wonder if killing people is useful." Hong Chen said, "Wu Xinyi and Shang Chihui are both dog officials. But after killing them, the court will still send other people to manage Tianwei City. The officials who come then will be
A good official, or an official worse than them?"
Ji Cha answered simply: "It should be useless. But killing one of the dog officials will at least make people feel comfortable for a while. If we really want the people to live a good life, I think we have to kill the emperor in Tianjing City."
Just kill him."
Hong Chen now knows what the terms "Emperor" and "Emperor" refer to, and he just thinks: "Kill the Emperor, and there will be a new Emperor in the world. Will the new Emperor be better than the previous Emperor?"
