Chapter 14 Chaos!
"It's so miserable..."
"Is this old man Li offended someone..."
"The yamen work, the idle people are backing off..."
“…”
The next morning, at midnight, the sun was at midnight, and the day of practice ended. Deng Fan had just arrived at the yamen gate and heard a noise coming from the main entrance from afar.
"Shopkeeper Deng, you are here..."
A sharp-eyed yamen runner saw Deng Fan from a distance and came up with a pale face, his eyes full of fear.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the expression of the yamen runner, Deng Fan subconsciously frowned.
"It's Old Man Liu..."
"Go away from it... Shopkeeper Deng is here..."
Seeing Deng Fan walking forward without saying a word, the yamen runners quickly signaled everyone to make way.
I saw an old man with wrinkles on the steps at the yamen gate, with his eyes wide open. From the twisted muscles on his face, he must have suffered extreme pain during his lifetime.
In fact, this is true. Judging from its twisted limbs, it was clearly broken by humans. The whole body was twisted into a spherical shape, and a huge collapse on the chest was obviously a fatal injury.
Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was beaten to death with a blunt weapon. The most strange thing was that he was quarreling beside him. A small paper man stood above the old man's head, and his distorted face seemed to be staring at the yamen. His face seemed to be smiling, even under the blue sky, white sun, it seemed particularly terrifying and weird.
Deng Fan's eyes turned cold when he noticed the "death evil" on the paper man.
"Demonstration, or provocation, or revenge..."
Since the papermaker came to Nujiao County, although he had known that the storm was about to come, he did not expect it to be so soon.
Although ordinary people who practice heretics have heavy yin energy, as long as they are not too heavy in killing, they are not as plagued by the "death evil" like a paper maker.
Deng Fan had not achieved his cultivation, and he was not a meddling person. Generally, as long as he did not offend him, he was too lazy to provoke him. However, he did not expect that the first target of the other party would be the county government of Nujiao County.
This old man Li is the updater of the county government office. He has always been diligent and kind to others. Unexpectedly, he will be tortured to death today. And he is at the entrance of the county government office. I have to say that this is simply a great irony.
"Where is the magistrate?"
Although he is not very familiar with this old man Li and Deng Fan has no idea of avenging him, he works as a yamen and is "in his position, he takes his position". Some things are probably destined to be unable to escape.
“In... in the lobby…”
......
"It's just too much to deceive people..."
"This is a threat...a naked threat..."
As soon as Deng Fan walked into the county government, he heard a roar in anger from the lobby.
"Shopkeeper Deng, you are here and you are making a joke..."
As soon as I walked into the lobby, I saw Fei Ruhe sitting on the chair with a bald face, full of resentment, mixed with helplessness, and he could not tell at all that he was versatile in his usual manner.
Master Jia, who was standing by, also lost his usual shrewdness, his face was full of panic, his eyes were filled with a hint of fear, as if he was confused, and he was trembling with him.
"There is nothing funny. Although Deng is just a 'corpse collector', he is still a job in the yamen. If the yamen makes a joke, how can Deng stay out of the matter..."
"Shopkeeper Deng is very interested... Alas..."
As if emotions were infected, looking at the calmness on Deng Fan's face, Fei Ruhe's emotions quickly calmed down, and a flash of wanting to speak but stopped in his eyes.
"If anything, I think Lord Fei should tell me that no matter whether I can help you or not, as a public servant, I will never allow demons to cause trouble in the county government."
If it was an ordinary thing, Deng Fan really didn't want to care about it, but once the yamen in Nujiao County really became chaotic, the entire Nujiao County might be really over.
Although Deng Fan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he didn't want to be angry at Jiao County to get into chaos. If Jiao County really did go crazy, how could he survive in this world?
After all, even if you don’t want to care about some things in your own survival interests, you may not care about them.
But even if you want to take care of it, you must have an excuse. This is not his own business. Although he has some skills, it is obviously not something he can solve alone. He doesn't even know the cause of the matter. If Fei Ruhe refuses to cooperate, he will not be the first to be a leader.
"Oh...Shopkeeper Deng please stay..."
Seeing Deng Fan turn around and leave, Fei Ruhe, who was hesitating just now, suddenly became anxious.
He also knew that he had only two choices now, either joining the several major tribes in Nujiao County to fight against the Prince Yuan, or surrendering to Prince Yuan and letting him take over Nujiao County with his own name.
But it is obvious that if Nujiao County is really given up, I am afraid that my life and life will be difficult to protect. After all, the surname Yuan is not those big clans. The purpose of those warlords is to completely take charge of Nujiao County. Once the order of the county town is stable, my puppet county magistrate will probably be useless.
"Oh... did Lord Fei think of something?"
Hearing Fei Ruhe's figure, Deng Fan also stopped, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"I'm sure I know some inside information, I really know some insider..."
Seeing Deng Fan's indifferent expression, Fei Ruhe felt a little ridiculed in his heart. He had lived to be a dog for the past forty years, and he was not as calm as a young man.
At the same time, Deng Fan's unsuspecting attitude suddenly made him feel a little confident, 'Maybe he can really help him break the deadlock,' and this thought just arises, and even he feels a little ridiculous.
He naturally knew Deng Fan's ability, but what he needed to face this time was not a ghost, but an army.
"You have been working in this county government for more than two years. I believe you know a little about the situation in Nujiao County."
"Although I am called the county magistrate, I only have a name. The power in the county has actually been divided up by those companies..."
Speaking of this, Fei Ruhe also smiled bitterly: "But it was precisely because of the county magistrate that a hungry tiger was attracted. Yuan Fengchu, who was formed in northern Guizhou, fell in love with this Angry County..."
"Maybe it the one two days ago..."
Thinking of the three people who met in the county government two days ago, a trace of thought flashed in Deng Fan's eyes.
"That is Yuan Fengchu's nephew..."
At this time, Deng Fan probably guessed some truth in his heart. Although the court is in turmoil, the world is not in chaos. The situation in the world is already tense. At this time, I am afraid that the person from Xiangcheng would not dare to act rashly. He wanted to take down Nujiao County without bloodshed in the name of Fei Ruhe.
After understanding the reason for the incident, Deng Fan's pressure was also lightened. He had already made the worst plan to escape.
If the other party directly sends troops to suppress him, he will definitely not dare to intervene even if he has great skills, but depending on the current situation, there is still room for maneuver.
