123. Mr. Feng

Chen Liqin watched coldly, but Jin Zhu persisted, "Master Chen, suppressing the civil unrest was originally the responsibility of your Luocheng government office. From the time you arrived until now, I have yet to hear you say a single word of thanks."

Chen Liqin snorted coldly and kept silent.

Jin Zhu laughed angrily, turned to look at Chen Ji and said loudly: "I told you not to get involved in this matter, but you insisted on getting involved. What's the matter? They don't even appreciate it. Let's go. If I get involved in the affairs of the civil servants again in the future, it will be my own fault for not having a good memory!

Chen Ji shook his head: "Sir, we can't leave yet. There are still things to do."

Jin Zhu said urgently, "You've taken down Liu Mingxian and captured Jingchao Sicao, which is already a great achievement. If nothing unexpected happens, the path to cultivation will be delivered to Luocheng soon. If you withdraw now, they will have nothing to do with you if they mess things up later. If you continue to stay here, who knows what else these civil servants will blame you for."

Chen Ji did not answer.

The Golden Pig sneered, "Forget it. I don't care whether you live or die anymore. If you want to stay here, then stay. If anything happens in the future, don't come to me to complain."

As he said that, the Golden Pig turned around and left with the Pegasus. Xifeng looked back several times to persuade Chen Ji, but finally gave up.

Zhang Zhuo put down the club and advised Chen Ji, "He's actually doing this for your own good."

Chen Ji hummed: "I understand!"

The porridge gradually became thicker, and Zhang Zhuo ordered someone to extinguish the stove fire under the pot.

An officer asked, "Sir, can you serve the porridge?"

Zhang Zhuo shook his head: "No, wait until the porridge cools down."

When the porridge was served, the victims lined up one by one to receive it. Those who had bowls used them, while those who didn't had bowls held it in their hands.

It was not until this moment that Chen Ji understood why Zhang Zhuo wanted to wait until the porridge cooled down, because many of the victims who had fled did not even have a decent bowl.

At this time, a man took a mouthful of porridge from his bowl and suddenly threw the bowl to the ground: "Damn it, these officials are fooling us and mixing sand into the porridge."

As he spoke, he pulled a middle-aged man who was holding porridge in both hands and scattered the porridge on the ground: "Don't drink it, pick up your weapons and fight them. Let's rush into the city and eat and drink well, and don't let this bullshit happen."

The man wanted to encourage the victims to have breakfast, but the next moment, the victims queuing around him rushed over and lay on the ground, scooping the rice porridge mixed with mud into their mouths. No one paid any attention to him.

The man was startled. He turned around to look at the victims and slowly retreated into the crowd.

Among the disaster victims, some men who were originally ready to make a move suddenly became silent.

After they received the porridge, they squatted on the ground silently, swallowed the sand mouthful by mouthful, and poured all the porridge into their mouths, leaving no residue.

Time passes by little by little.

The porridge distribution lasted from the morning till the evening, and no one cursed at all.

The Liu family assassin that Chen Ji wanted to capture disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhuo said to Chen Ji, "Your method didn't work. They're smarter than you thought. When they saw that things were impossible, they immediately lay dormant. These Liu family's loyal warriors are not reckless men. They are the elite of the elite in the Yanshi camp, brave and resourceful."

Chen Ji bowed to him and said, "As I said before, I will need to trouble Master Zhang now."

"oh?"

Chen Ji explained, "I've heard that Lord Zhang has a photographic memory and can recite the classics, history books, and collected works by heart. Have you remembered the details I just told you to pay attention to?"

Zhang Zhuo laughed heartily. "So you've already taken my photographic memory into account. Don't worry, I've already memorized the people you mentioned. Follow me to arrest them."

After that, he led the officers into the crowd.

The group grabbed people, and in just a few breaths, they pulled out a person from the victims and knocked him to the ground.

The man was pinned to the ground by the officer's knees. He screamed, "Sir, why are you arresting me?"

"Are your parents here?"

"No, my parents died in the flood!

Do you have a wife and children here?

"No, my wife and children also died in the flood."

Zhang Zhuo sneered, "The victims had been hungry for days. They drank the porridge right away and were eager to get another bowl. You have no wife, children, or parents, but you accepted the porridge but didn't drink it right away. How do you explain that?"

The man cried out, "Sir, you're going to convict me based on this alone? It's unfair!"

Zhang Zhuo remained silent and said, "This method might lead to the wrong people being arrested, but in this emergency, I will take the initiative and put you all in jail first. If there is any injustice, I will let you go. I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, so I have no choice but to resort to this special method."

However, at this moment, the Liu family's assassins saw that Zhang Zhuo was taking a risk and no longer held back.

They drew short knives from their sleeves and dispersed, bypassing Zhang Zhuo and the officials, and rushed straight to the porridge shed through the victims.

Zhang Zhuo suddenly looked back and realized that these people were not coming for him, but to kill Chen Ji.

He shouted at the officers, "Stop them."

The officer retreated.

My monthly salary is just a few dollars, why should I exchange my life for such a killer?

More than twenty assassins were full of murderous intent. Chen Liqin suddenly turned his head and saw Chen Ji standing under the porridge shed with an expressionless face, staring at the assassins coldly.

The assassins were getting closer and closer, but Chen Ji refused to retreat or give in.

The next moment, a meteor shot down from the city wall, piercing the thighs of Liu family's assassins one by one like thunder.

The assassins looked up suddenly and found that the Pegasus had returned.

Tianma, dressed in white, stood on the parapet, holding an invisible bow in both hands, drawing the string and shooting.

When the meteor arrow burst out, a strong wind blew up, stirring his clothes up and down.

Chen Liqin was surprised and asked, "You just hinted that Jin Zhu left after arguing with me, and you even deliberately mentioned in front of the victims that it was you who knocked down Liu Mingxian. Are you trying to use yourself as bait?"

Chen Ji looked at him calmly, then turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

Under the rain of meteors and arrows, the Liu family's assassins had nowhere to hide.

Someone shouted: Raise your shields.

The Liu family's assassins were extremely strong. They grabbed the clothes of the victims from behind and held them in front of them as shields, hoping to use the victims to force Tianma to act cautiously.

But who would have thought that before the Pegasus stopped pulling the bow, the bursting meteor arrows mercilessly pierced through the chests of the victims first and then the chests of the dead soldiers.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The hostage dilemma did not bother Tianma at all, as if the blood in his bones was naturally cold.

It was as if he had never seen any victims of the disaster, only the loyal soldiers behind them.

This is why the Silijian has been criticized.

As Jin Zhu said, raising people by the inner minister is like raising a Gu, and there is no Gu more poisonous than them in the world.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

The Liu family's assassins turned around and fled for their lives. The top three attacked them recklessly and coldly, and they couldn't muster any fighting spirit.

Zhang Zhuo picked up a sword and roared, "Don't let them get away."

The sound of iron hooves rang out from the city gate, and the Golden Pig rushed out first, leading the secret spies to charge, and caught up with the assassins one by one from behind, chopping them to the ground.

Chen Ji let out a breath, the outcome was decided.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Zhang Zhu and Jin Zhu returned to the porridge shed with the Liu family's assassins, they boasted proudly: "The remaining

"There are six survivors left. Boy, let's quickly interrogate them and find out who is behind this. Hey, where are they?"

At this moment, where was Chen Ji's figure under the porridge stall?

Zhang Zhuo looked at Chen Liqin: "Where are they?"

Chen Liqin replied, "He said he had important matters to attend to, so he left first."

Zhang Zhuo stroked his beard and said regretfully, "What a shame! I wanted to chat with him more!"

Chen Liqin was a little puzzled: "Is Mr. Zhang familiar with him?"

Zhang Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I feel like I'm more familiar with him than you."

Jin Zhu turned around and forcibly pulled out the fingernails of all the Liu family assassins in the porridge shed, and actually tortured them on the spot, "Tell me, who was behind this? Is it Liu Mingxian?"

The Liu family assassins said nothing, just stared at everyone in the room viciously.

When his eyes fell on the golden pig, he spat vigorously: "Eunuch party, hawk dog."

The Golden Pig chuckled, "He's quite tough... Come on, someone, pull out his yellow teeth for me, so that he can only eat soft food from now on."

But just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of carriage wheels pressing on the stone road from the city gate.

The Golden Pig turned around and saw a horse-drawn carriage slowly driving out of the city gate and stopping in front of the porridge stall.

A middle-aged scholar in a blue Confucian robe sat in the driver's seat and said with a smile, "Master Jinzhu, long time no see."

Jin Zhu narrowed his eyes, as if facing a formidable enemy: "Mr. Feng!"

Mr. Feng, dressed in a blue scholar's robe, jumped out of the carriage and bowed: There is a gift for you in the carriage, please take a look.

The Golden Pig looked up at the Pegasus on the city wall, then slowly approached and lifted the carriage curtain with the tip of his knife: "Liu Mingxian?"

Mr. Feng bowed, his smile warm and gentle: "My master said that this rebellious son was determined to kill the traitor Jing Chao, but he almost caused a disaster. He committed suicide at home out of fear of punishment."

…

According to the details, Chen Ji took off his hat and ran wildly. He clearly passed by Taiping Medical Clinic but did not go in. Instead, he continued on his way with his head down.

He stopped in front of a small library, looking up at the plaque of "Zhixing Academy". From inside came the deep sound of reading: "The Book of Songs says: 'The territory of a state is a thousand miles, where the people live...'"

Chen Ji straightened his clothes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stepped over the threshold.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe holding a scripture and walking with a loud voice. He must be Wang Daosheng without a doubt.

In the yard, Chen Wenzong, Chen Wenxiao, Zhang Xia, the Crown Prince, and Princess Baili were kneeling on straw mats.

Princess Baili turned around and saw that it was Chen Ji who came. Her face changed immediately and she winked at him.

At this moment, Wang Daosheng looked up at Chen Ji, put down the scroll in his hand, and asked slowly, "Are you Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji hummed, "Sorry, sir, I have something important to deal with, so I'm late."

"What's the important matter?"

"Sorry sir, I can't tell you!"

Wang Daosheng waved the scroll calmly and said, "Go stand facing the wall in the front hall."

"good!"

Chen Ji walked back to the front hall, facing the wall, smelling the bookish air in the room, and felt a wave of fatigue invade his mind.

Two days and two nights.

Even the body of an official could not bear it.

At some point, he listened to the sound of reading in the yard, leaned his forehead against the wall, and slowly closed his eyes.
