"Anyway, it's this kind of position!! Speaking of Zhang Yida, he is an upright and honest person. He often uses his legal knowledge to help the people in the city. The people affectionately call him Judge Zhang!" Zhang Wei continued.
"Hurry up and get into the plot!!" everyone said mercilessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
Zhang Wei continued his story:
"Hu Xiaofei looked at Zhang Yida and asked, 'Who are you?'
"I am the city's legal advisor, the nemesis of evil, and the advocate of justice—Zhang Yida!" Zhang Yida said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Are you going to stop me from killing this corrupt official who exploits the people, embezzles money, abuses justice, and rapes women, all for his own pleasure?!"
"Hu Xiaofei, everyone in the martial arts world calls you a female hero, but in my opinion, you are just a female devil who can't distinguish right from wrong and has nothing but martial arts skills!" Zhang Yida said calmly.
"What did you say?!" Hu Xiaofei's face turned cold and her brows furrowed. It was obvious that Zhang Yida was also on her must-kill list.
Zhang Yida: "Hu Xiaofei, do you think the city lord is a corrupt official who only seeks pleasure?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Yida: "Hu Xiaofei, do you know what this city was like five years ago?"
'What kind?'
"You really don't know, then let me tell you, five years ago, when the city lord and I came here, it was a desolate place, with only one in a hundred people left in the city.
But look at what's happening now? The number of people in the city has increased more than tenfold. Although not everyone is rich, at least everyone can have enough to eat. Do you think such a city lord is a good official or a corrupt official?
You saw it on the way here. Now the streets in the city are thriving, with businesses coming and going. But if you came here five years ago, I guarantee you wouldn't even be able to find an inn. Do you think such officials are good or bad?
Hu Xiaofei: "How can I know whether what you said is true or not?"
"What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. Just ask any old man and you'll know what it was like five years ago." Zhang Yida remained calm and composed.
"Yes! Our Brother Yu is a good city lord! A good official!" Chen Xiaojia suddenly sat up from Wang Yu's arms and said.
Everyone: "Hey, hey, hey, you're already dead!!"
Chen Meijia: "I'm not dead. I just fell into Brother Yu's arms. It doesn't mean I'm dead!"
Hu Yifei: "Even if you didn't die just now, you should die now after losing so much blood!"
"It's bleeding, it's happened before. Just tie it up with a bandage. I bleed for seven days every month and I'm still fine!" Chen Meijia said without any hesitation.
Everyone: ...
Zhang Wei: "It's my time now, Meijia, please respect me, okay?"
"Okay, go ahead...but I'm not dead!!"
Zhang Wei continued his story:
"At this time, Hu Xiaofei pointed his sword at Wang Yu and said, 'Okay, even if what you said is true, it's true that he married eighteen concubines. Isn't that just abducting women? It's not unfair to kill such a person!'
At this time, Zhang Yida said: "It is true that our city lord is a bit lustful, but he really can't compare with me. Unlike me, I am still single...ah..."
Wang Yu was displeased when he heard this, "Just get to the point! Don't talk nonsense!"
'Okay, Lord City Lord,
Ms. Hu, it is a fact that our city lord has eighteen concubines, and I cannot refute it, but how do you know that they are not willing to do so?
You can tell from the fact that Miss Chen Xiaojia was willing to take the knife for the City Lord that our City Lord has a lot of personal charm.
"You...you mean they all agreed? I don't believe it!!"
Seeing that Hu Xiaofei was already hesitant, Zhang Yida continued: "Okay, Miss Hu, let's assume that our city lord is a corrupt official who is greedy and lustful. But have you ever thought about what the next city lord will be like if you kill him?"
Hu Xiaofei said with some doubt: "I don't care what the next city lord is like!"
"No, if you kill our city lord, you have to worry about what the next city lord will be like! Have you ever thought about what if the next city lord is also a corrupt official or a scoundrel? Can you stay here forever?"
Obviously you can't, because if you kill our city lord, you will kill an official appointed by the court. The court will hunt you down without mercy. You can escape, but if the next city lord is also a corrupt official, what will you do with the people in the city?
Even if our city lord is a corrupt official, a wolf, he is a well-fed wolf. The next one to come will be a hungry wolf. Do you think he will care about the lives of the people?'"
"You are making a specious argument! How can you think that the next city lord will be a corrupt official?"
Zhang Yida: "Okay! Even if the next city lord is not a corrupt official, if you kill our city lord, have you ever thought about what to do with our city lord's eighteen concubines? No, to be more precise, seventeen, and one more will be married tomorrow."
"What else can they do? Go back to their own homes and find their own mothers!"
"You make it sound so easy. We, the staff, are fine, but what about them? They are the city lord's concubines. You killed the city lord, and you killed him under the pretext of being a corrupt and incompetent official. Do you think they can still have a good life?"
They will be looked down upon by their neighbors when they return. Just as many people complimented them before, so many will come to kick them when they are down! !
Hu Xiaofei: 'Impossible! ! '
"Ms. Hu, it seems you don't understand human nature. You are a female warrior, with great kung fu skills, traveling around the world all day long. Once you finish this business, you will move on to the next place, but we are just ordinary people with no power!"
'You...I...' Hu Xiaofei was speechless after what Zhang Yida said!
"Ms. Hu, I believe you are a female hero! You can verify everything I just said. Ask the people in the city what it was like five years ago. Then ask the concubines in the city lord's mansion whether they volunteered. Once you have found out everything, it won't be too late to kill the city lord!" Zhang Yida said to Hu Xiaofei.
"Okay! I'll go find out right now! If what you say is all false, I'll come and kill you too!"
Zhang Yida remained calm and composed: "Good! Farewell, Miss Hu!"
Hu Xiaofei left...
Chen Xiaojia watched Hu Xiaofei leave the City Lord's Mansion and said to Wang Yu: "What...what is this?"
Zhang Yida flicked his sleeves, adjusted his hair, and said calmly, "Knowledge is power!"
