Chapter 541
There must be more dead bodies lying at the street corners now than this number, right?
This does not include the wounded soldiers lying on the ground with no one paying attention to them!
It turns out that the people I had always been in awe of were just a bunch of idiots.
Is the so-called Duke of Qing just this?
When Xu Shan led his troops to prove with their strength that Duke Qing was nothing but a paper tiger, their mentality changed drastically.
Even more desperate than them were the shopkeepers who had once worked so hard for the Duke of Qing's mansion...
When Xu Shan waved his hand and continued the interrogation by the Jinyiwei, their inner defenses completely collapsed and they no longer needed to be tortured.
Just give it all up!
This time, when they told the truth in detail about how the local government embezzled relief grain, controlled grain prices, and extorted money from the people, the people at the scene were no longer afraid to speak out.
But it was an indignant outcry!
"Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, Lord Xu, you have to make the decision for us!"
"We absolutely cannot allow them to oppress the people like this any longer. We cannot live happily any longer."
"Yes, Lord Xu, we kowtow to you."
As he spoke, people knelt down and begged.
Xu Shan, down-to-earth as always, walked into the crowd, quickly helped these people up, and listened to their demands.
"Wang Qinian!"
"arrive."
"Open all the sealed granaries immediately."
"Ah? Sir, what are you doing..."
"Open the warehouse to stock up on food!"
"Sir, you absolutely cannot do this! The eyes of the Jiangnan gentry are all on you. Today's incident was already quite serious. If you release the grain without permission, you might lose your position and even get yourself killed."
After Wang Qinian finished speaking with tears in his eyes, Chang Qing, who was accompanying him, echoed, "Please think twice."
"If you do this, you'll be criticized and your career will be affected!"
"Don't bother trying to persuade me, I've made up my mind!"
"I, Xu Shan, was born into a peasant family. I cannot stand by and watch my fellow villagers starve."
"I will take full responsibility. Even if you chop my head off, I will do it willingly."
"Do it immediately!"
When Xu Shan finished speaking these words with great righteousness, Wang Qinian, with tears in his eyes, said, "Sir, this is a noble act!"
"Master Xu, your righteousness is as great as the sky!"
"Lord Xu, love the people like your own children!"
"Lord Xu is truly our adopted parent."
Waves of praise, one louder than the other, resounded throughout the West Market.
Zhang Liansong, who was on the periphery, was filled with excitement at this moment.
It turns out that the highest level of prestige is being admired by everyone!
Sir, I have realized it again.
I want to be a high-ranking official, and I want to be a good official!
Lord Xu, you are truly my guiding light!
Just as Zhang Liansong stared at his master's sharp-edged profile with admiration in his eyes...
In the crowd, a middle-aged man, picking his nose, muttered, "Xiao Liansong, you've fallen in love with someone else."
"Before in the sect, he would only stare at me with this look."
"However, this kid surnamed Xu is really awesome."
"As expected, he is the son of heaven who defies the Master!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously picked at the meat stuffed in between his teeth.
'Pooh! ’
"I just picked my nose and forgot to wash my hands."
"Salty!"
"Is that the smell of boogers, or that bitch's? I hope I don't get an inflammation." (This is a meme, if you don't understand, search 'Hangzhou Xiao Yan')
After muttering these words to himself, the middle-aged man looked in the direction where Qiu Qianren fled.
Originally, a hint of murderous intent flashed across the scruffy bearded face.
"Damn it! A mere mid-level ninth-grade cultivator has murderous intentions towards my junior nephew?"
"This time when I come to Su, I will first kill the Demon Sealing Tribe's High Priest who used the Yin Veins to gather the Seven Evil Soul Locking Formation, and then I will fucking kill you."
"It's a happy decision. Let's go to Yihongyuan to inquire about the news first."
After saying this, the man quietly left. When he reappeared, he was already several hundred meters away.
If Zhang Liansong saw his face, he would definitely shout "Second Uncle Master" excitedly.
That's right, he is the second disciple of Taoist Tianyi, the "unlucky star" who taught Zhang Liansong how to 'bully little girls' after he left the sect - Chen Dingtian!
……
Amidst the shouts of "My Lord," Xu Shan left the crowd.
