Chapter 40 Knowing the crime

A large cloud of smoke and dust billows up on the official road, the sound of horses' hooves sounds, and the clanking of armor and clothes.

Almost all the residents of Donggang Town came out of the streets and alleys. Even the usually noisy markets and the fishing boats on the river became very quiet.

The rumble of horse hooves coming from a distance reminded all the people of Donggang Town that what they were most worried about had arrived.

Even though most of the simple townspeople did not fully understand the details of Yun Qin Law, when they dispersed on the river bank, almost everyone knew about Lin Xi's current situation.

Mr. Xiao Lin, who has already won their deep respect, in order to thoroughly investigate this heinous case, did not hesitate to resist the order, which was already a violation of Yunqin's laws.

But is Mr. Xiaolin wrong?

Just to prevent this Xizijiang from becoming so dark, just to thoroughly investigate the dirt, Master Xiaolin, who has such a strong character, will become a prisoner instead?

Ordinary people only have the simplest sense of right and wrong. They just feel that this is simply wrong and cannot be accepted by them.

Without anyone's instructions, many alleys and shops were empty. The owners and clerks of many shops did not even have time to close the doors of the shops, and they all rushed towards the east streets and alleys, not wanting people from outside to take Mr. Xiaolin away.

.

Because he was too angry, he was silent, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance seemed particularly clear. However, the clearer the sound of horse hooves, the angrier it became in people's hearts.

"It's raining! I'm afraid even God can't bear to see it."

Suddenly, there was a sound.

The sunny weather turned hazy at this time, and thin wisps of rain began to fall from the sky.

….

In the drizzle, rows of cavalry appeared again in the sight of the people of Donggang Town.

At first sight, many of the people who saw the cavalry troop breaking up the drizzle opened their mouths, but no sound came out.

The officer at the front was still Wei Xianwu, who exuded an iron-blooded aura, but behind him were no longer just fifty cavalry, but densely packed with at least two hundred or more.

In addition to the previous sergeants wearing light armor, following him were more than thirty knights wearing blue-black heavy armor. These soldiers were indescribably calm and solemn, with only half of their faces exposed.

Outside, the cold metal surface of the green and black armor was covered with thick oil, so even the drizzle could not get it wet at all. Only small water droplets condensed and scattered. This heavy metal armor is not a soul weapon, but it is also covered with

There are many flame-like patterns carved on them, and the most breathtaking thing is that these heavily armored soldiers are holding battle axes as long as a man in their hands. The huge snow-white axes seem to have a chill emanating from them.

Most of the soldiers behind these heavy cavalry were equipped with spears and spears for battlefield combat. They were densely packed and as cold as a forest.

Wei Xianwu, who was leading the cavalry, looked indifferently at the people who had blocked the alleys. He could see the cowardice in many people's eyes at a glance. He knew that it was the right thing to bring these intimidating heavy cavalry. At the same time,

A sneer also rose in my heart.

"I can understand your thoughts."

He reached back and made a gesture, and the cavalry behind him divided into four neat columns and began to slow down slightly. At the same time, his cold and solemn voice came out loudly: "But you have to understand, we are

Soldiers, it is our bounden duty to execute orders. Moreover, there are Yunqin laws. As Yunqin people, you must believe in Yunqin's laws and abide by them. Don't let others take advantage of you because of some emotional factors.

So please get out of the way."

"We are not being used by others, but we have seen clearly from the beginning to the end. According to your statement, it is you soldiers who did these harmful things, so we don't believe you at all now." At the moment, there are many people.

The sound rang out in the drizzle, and no one retreated for a while.

"Confronting the army is a major crime of rebellion." Wei Xianwu's face remained expressionless. Facing the sea of ​​people in front of him, he just spoke indifferently, as if he was reading out a certain fact.

"We are unarmed, can we call it a rebellion?"

"We just won't let it go, let's see what they can do to us?"

Suddenly, the people blocking the road made more noise.

Wei Xianwu and the dense cavalry behind him had arrived at the entrance of the town, but the people still did not disperse, so he had no choice but to stop.

"I'll reiterate it again, as a Yunqin person, you must abide by the laws of Yunqin, otherwise you will be punished as a rebel." Wei Xianwu said coldly, looking at these people who refused to retreat in the drizzle.

Suddenly there were more curses.

The road is still blocked.

Wei Xianwu's eyes narrowed slightly, he reached out and clenched his fist, then raised it up.

"Zheng!"

A harsh metallic chirping sound rang out, a cold light shone, and the heavy and light cavalry behind him all held their weapons in their hands at the same time.

Finally, dozens of cavalrymen also took the longbows on their backs into their hands.

"When did we, Yunqin's soldiers, fall to such a low point? We can only point our weapons at us?" Someone in the crowd shouted angrily.

"You have to understand something." However, the cold and iron-blooded look on Wei Xianwu's face became even stronger. He glanced coldly at the people in front and said in a cold voice: "It is precisely because of the military orders that our Yunqin Army can intimidate with our strength.

Opponents. Even if we are not facing you today, even if there is an abyss and a mountain of knives in front of us, we will rush over. This is the will of our soldiers, so you should not challenge our will because of some emotional factors. You

You must be fair, and only the laws of Yunqin can guarantee your fairness. It is precisely because you are from Yunqin that I have said so much, so this is my last request...please get out of my way."

Because of Wei Xianwu's aura and his words, the crowd became a little looser, but many people still did not retreat.

"Unless everyone puts their lives at risk, no one can force the Yunqin soldiers, not now and never in the future."

Wei Xianwu said nothing more, raised his head slightly, and opened his fist into a palm.

The war horse under his feet moved, and the cold army behind him also moved. Weapons with flashing cold light were raised, and the sound of bow strings being pulled apart was heard, and long bows were pulled to full circle.

The arrows were aimed at the road in front of this column of troops.

Wei Xianwu had a true determination that no one could doubt. The simple townspeople could no longer withstand the double pressure from psychology and these cold weapons, and the people on the main road began to retreat one after another.

The bluestone road suddenly opened up.

However, everyone immediately discovered that when the main road leading to the Governor's Mansion was vacated, there was a young man who did not retreat.

This young man is Wang Buping.

Most of the townspeople did not know this young foreigner. From the bamboo tubes and other objects in Wang Buping's hand, they could only tell that he was a young umbrella maker who was making umbrellas when they heard soldiers approaching.

, didn’t even have time to put down the things in his hands, and ran over.

At this moment, on the bluestone road that had begun to become empty, this young man standing in the middle of the road looked very out of place.

Originally, when Wei Xianwu saw the townspeople retreating under the threat of real death, a contemptuous sneer appeared in his heart again. However, when he saw the crowd dispersed and such a young man staying, his brows furrowed.

He wrinkled up unconsciously and his face became even colder.

However, Wang Buping did not look at him or the Sen Leng army behind him. Instead, he sat down on the wet stone road and began to embed bamboo strips, concentrating on making an umbrella in his hand. His face was very pale, and his hands were a little bit...

He was trembling slightly, but his expression was indescribably stubborn.

For a moment the whole street became silent again.

A weak young man with no strength, sat alone on the ground, fighting against the powerful Yun Qin army.

Another old man came out.

The old man was Mr. Mo from the Linjiang Building. He walked out from the crowd at the back. After walking out, he directly took a bench from the shop next to him and sat down.

"If you die, you die."

Old Man Mo's expression was extremely calm. He felt that his life was mediocre, and it would be great if he could die more vigorously. However, because of the pedantic nature of the old scholar, he uttered these four words heavily when he sat down.

A simple old woman with a wound on her forehead also walked out silently, calmly welcoming the death that might come at any time.

This is Feng Zeyi's mother. She came from Qinghe Town, but she only saw the cold and swollen body of her son. Among the women who were rescued, her daughter-in-law was not included. If there were any close relatives in the world,

Then there is only Mr. Kobayashi who is willing to break the law in order to give her justice.

"What a mighty and majestic Yunqin army."

There was a burst of applause, and a middle-aged man came out, walked to the old woman, and sat down.

This is Master Zhu.

"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry for the offense I caused you earlier. I was just trying to save my breath." After sitting down, he bowed to Mr. Mo seriously and apologetically, and apologized in a low voice.

"You are still a man. My previous comments about you were biased. If you can survive this time, I can sell my small building near the river to you." Old Man Mo glanced at Fourth Master Zhu and said.

"With this tone gone, there's nothing to fight about anymore." Fourth Master Zhu smiled and shook his head.

While he was talking, more people came out.

There were old people, women, fishermen, porters... Within a short time, as many as forty or fifty people had gathered.

After all, there are still many people in this world who are not afraid of death.

Wei Xianwu's eyelids darkened. Even though he had the determination and will to do whatever it took, he could already feel a slight panic among the troops behind him.

At this moment, the crowd at the end of the street suddenly separated, and a young man appeared in the drizzle that soaked everything.

A young man holding a green umbrella.

His pupils shrank.

The young man holding an umbrella is Lin Xi.

Most of the people present did not hold umbrellas. Despite the drizzle, Lin Xi held an umbrella, but it did not give people any sense of incongruity, because he was holding a roll of announcement documents in his hand. The umbrella in his hand

, you can prevent this official document from getting wet.

When he saw clearly the mark on the official announcement document in Lin Xi's hand, Wei Xianwu felt a slight chill in his heart.

How can it be?

He came very quickly, and there were countless people in these towns who tried their best not to let the announcement be issued. Even if the official from the Shangshu Office knocked himself unconscious, there was no way he could have Lin Xi's official announcement completed so quickly.

Because as long as he arrives in Donggang Town, Lin Xi is no longer under arrest but a prisoner. He can stop all Lin Xi's affairs. However, I don't know what means Lin Xi used to force this official document to come out so quickly.

Already.

In the drizzle, Lin Xi, who was holding an umbrella, seemed to have understood what Wei Xianwu was thinking. She carefully posted the official announcement of the results under the bulletin board with rain eaves next to the main road, and turned to look at it.

Wei Xianwu, who was riding a horse in the distance, smiled slightly and said, "Wei Xianwu, why are you here so slowly?"

Wei Xianwu looked at Lin Xi silently, and after a full ten breaths passed, he said: "The criminal Lin Xi, do you know the crime?"

***

(I really wanted to break out today, but I didn’t expect that I would catch a cold sadly after not having a cold for a long time. I am top-heavy...so I can only ask everyone to be patient and wait, and I will try my best...)
