Chapter 34

"The evil spirit is about to show up."

The people gathered around the gate of the government anxiously, waiting for the final verdict.

Zen master Mengdao held peach wood in one hand and a disc in the other, muttering words.

Half a column of incense passed.

"The spoon on the disc has turned." An exclamation came from the crowd.

Zen Master Mengdao faced the crowd, the spoon continued to spin without stopping.

"It's time to stop."

Everyone stared wide-eyed, watching the spoon on the disc slowly settle down.

"South."

"What's in the south?"

"Those corrupt officials are locked up in the south, so they are evil spirits."

"No wonder I feel that since they came, our business has become more and more difficult."

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." The Minister of Rites took the opportunity to say: "I have already asked Her Majesty the Empress about the evil spirits. Her Majesty the Empress felt sorry for the hard work of farmers and decided to deal with these evil spirits personally."

"Her Majesty is here to deal with it?" Everyone was a little dazed, how could they let Her Majesty worry about them.

"Is Her Majesty the Queen okay?" Someone asked worriedly.

"Her Majesty is the real dragon emperor, and she is born to suppress evil spirits." The Minister of Rites smiled and said: "You don't have to worry."

Outside the crowd, Nan Wan and Ming Yang watched the scene from a distance.

"My wife, what is the spoon on that disc?" Ming Yang was a little curious.

"That's Si Nan's spoon. No matter how you turn the spoon, it will point to the south at last." Nan Wan smiled lightly.

Three days ago, she suggested that the Minister of Rites lock those corrupt officials in the south.

Ming Yang raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, she is smart.

"Let's go back!" Nan Wan said softly.

It is rainy in Jinling, and it has been raining continuously for several days. The other party is not in good health, so he can't stay outside for a long time.

Ming Yang didn't refuse either, and let Nan Wan take his hand and leave.

A few days later, the people who went out to explore the road finally rushed back.

"My lord, the Nanyang area is the most feasible, but there are many bandits in the mountains." Lin Youyou reported anxiously.

I thought it would be feasible, but who would have thought it would be difficult?
"How is the strength of the troops?" Minister of Rites' face was a little pale. There were too many things in the past few days, and she was too busy.

"Unless the army, it will be difficult to break through." Lin Youyou said this without the slightest confidence.

Most of the bandits are refugees, and they are aggressive. The confrontation between the government will only intensify the conflict.

"Oh." The Minister of Rites couldn't help but sighed.

Jinling's soldiers looked strong but were weak, and they could be broken in one blow.Letting them deal with refugees will cause casualties instead.The soldiers she brought were strong but small in number, far inferior to the army.

The bandit matter is really difficult.

"My lord, it's not good, the bandits are coming." A soldier ran in in a panic.

"What?" The Minister of Rites was shocked.

Lin Youyou's face paled instantly. These bandits came back with her.In other words, she brought disaster to Jinling.

"Go out and have a look." The Minister of Rites strode out.

The most important thing at the moment is how to invite these bandits out, not to question the crime.

"Officer Dog, come out for me." The leading bandit was extremely arrogant.

They were originally refugees from outside, but they became bandits because they were prevented from entering the city by the government.For this, they cried and begged, but no one sympathized.

It wasn't until they saw their brothers and sisters starving to death at the gate of the city that they finally decided to become bandits.

If you want to ask who they hate the most, the first one is the government in Jinling, who prevented them from entering the city and forced them to become bandits.

The second thing I hated was the people in Jinling. Because of their different household registrations, the local people insulted them at least and beat them at worst.

"Officer dog, if you don't come out again, I will kill you." The leader bandit waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately pushed a bunch of tied up civilians.

With a sound of "shua", the commoner lay on the ground with frightened eyes open.

"The child's mother." A grief-stricken cry came from the crowd.

"Officer Dog, if you don't come out again, you will be at your own risk." The bandit was triumphant.

Behind him, tied was a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Little girl." Chu Sheng wanted to rush out of the crowd several times but was stopped by someone.

"Brother." The little girl burst into tears.

"These goddamn bandits." Chu Sheng clenched his fists tightly, his grief and indignation hard to dissipate, "If the little girl dies, I will demand their lives."

"If you come to the official, don't attack the people." Seeing this scene, the Minister of Rites' face was almost livid.

"Officer Dog, you've finally come out." The bandit leader grinned, "It's very easy for me to let this little girl go, just take your life in exchange."

"No." Nan Wan also rushed over at this time.

"Sister Nan." Seeing her, Xiao Ya cried even harder.

"If you don't want to, just kill it!" The bandit casually raised the big knife in his hand.

"I'll change it." Lin Youyou stood in front of the Minister of Rites, "This is the fault I caused, and I will bear it."

"What's the use of you?" The bandit gave Lin Youyou a dissatisfied look, "You're not an official."

"I'll change it, I'm an official." Nan Wan said in a deep voice.

Anyone can exchange, but the Minister of Rites can't.

"You..." The Bandit looked at Nan Wan silently, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, then you can change it, I happen to be short of a wife."

"Wife master?" Everyone was stunned.

"You're handsome, I've taken a fancy to it." The bandit grabbed the little girl in his hands unreasonably, "If you don't want to, I'll kill this little girl."

"Sister Nan." The little girl had tears in her eyes. She didn't understand what they were talking about, but she knew that she might not live long.

"Do you agree or not?" The brother behind the bandit couldn't help but said: "If you don't agree, we will expose this Jinling."

"Wife master." Ming Yang looked at Nan Wan quietly.

"I..." Nan Wan was speechless.

"If you don't agree, then kill it!" The bandit curled his lips dissatisfied, what kind of things are these.

If you don't agree, you don't agree, why bother to be coy.

"Little girl." Chu Sheng knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed desperately to the south.

"My lord, please save her, I am just such a younger sister."

"My lord, just save her! It's not a big loss to you." The people on the side couldn't bear it, and they chimed in.

"Shut up, I don't agree with this matter." The Minister of Rites shouted angrily.

This is a life-threatening fight. If it is not handled properly, two lives will be lost.

"Why not!" A commoner said: "Don't you think that if we are not officials, our life is not life?"

"We don't agree."

"I'll kill anyone who quarrels any more?"

"I agree." Nan Wan nodded slowly.

"Wife master." Ming Yang was stunned, tears falling silently.

"Nanwan." Lin Youyou looked at her hesitantly, "You have to think about this matter clearly."

"Is there any other way now?" Nan Wan asked, if she didn't agree, a lot of people would die today, which she didn't want to see.
