Chapter 904: Killing intent rages!

Heading south all the way, Zhang Cheng arrived at a county town.

However, looking at the white paper floating everywhere, Zhang Cheng vaguely felt that something had happened here.

But upon entering, Zhang Cheng looked at the people everywhere on the street with signs for sale!

And this sentence wasn't Guan Yu mocking Yan Liang, but genuine self-sale.

In ancient times, putting grass in one's hair meant that one had given up freedom!

Looking at the children everywhere, and the emaciated parents holding the children in their arms, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but stop an old man: "Old man, what happened to this county town? Why are there so many people with grass..."

"Are you from out of town? You don't know, the city suffered a disaster, the Japanese pirates took the original tax silver. To make up for it, the magistrate ordered us to make up for it again, but this year we suffered a disaster, so where would we have money and grain..."

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the old man's face revealed a sorrowful expression.

But after hearing his words, Zhang Cheng frowned, because when he was in Hangzhou, he had heard that the imperial court had exempted the disaster-stricken counties in Jiangnan from taxes this year, so why did they have to make up for it here?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's eyes gradually became sharp, because if this were true, then maybe many people would die tonight!

"Get out of the way, all get out of the way, Young Master Gu is out on patrol!"

Just as Zhang Cheng was chatting with the old man, a roar came from the distance.

Looking at many people being whipped, Zhang Cheng immediately squinted his eyes, and his hand inside his robe reached out.

Pulling Zhang Cheng to dodge, the old man said: "Young man, don't get angry, this Gu family can't be offended. They are a big family in the county, and there are even big officials in the imperial court!"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes: "So, the Gu family is very rich?"

"Most of the land in the county belongs to the Gu family. The magistrates come and go, but the Gu family remains! The iron-clad Gu family!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "To ensure my young grandson lives, I also intend to fast, otherwise this little harvest won't be enough for the whole family to live on!"

"White paper outside the city, could it be!"

Looking at the old man in shock, Zhang Cheng was stunned.

"Yes, people are old, so they are useless!"

Showing a smile to Zhang Cheng, the old man carried his hands behind his back and left with a hunched back.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Cheng stood silently on the spot, light flashing in his eyes: "The Gu family, huh? Tsk tsk tsk..."

Inside the county town, a certain inn.

The handsome young master holding a teacup waved his fan and said: "I didn't expect the evil of the Gu family to have reached such a point!"

"Manor Lord, when shall we take action?"

Coming to Shangguan Haitang's side, the people from the First Manor in the World couldn't help but ask.

"Wait until nightfall, then completely eradicate this tumor. However, this matter should still be decided by the Foster Father!"

Sipping tea, Shangguan Haitang became serious.

And just as her words finished, the people behind her hurriedly said: "Yes, Manor Lord!"

Under the silent night curtain, the street was empty, with only the night watchman walking back and forth, calling out, "Beware of fire."

Putting on his mask, Zhang Cheng leaped onto a high building like a ghost and flew forward rapidly.

Arriving at the county yamen, Zhang Cheng listened to the sounds of singing and dancing in the backyard and pushed the door open.

"Beauty, where are you? Beauty..."

Laughing as he stepped forward, the magistrate immediately hugged Zhang Cheng.

But after feeling something was wrong, the magistrate took off his eye mask, looked at the person two heads taller than him, and was stunned on the spot: "You, who are you..."

"Beauty, huh! Magistrate!"

Showing a mocking smile, Zhang Cheng grabbed his neck and said: "Why don't you recognize me?"

"Uh, uh, uh..."

The feeling of suffocation struck, and the magistrate felt despair, struggling desperately.

Zhang Cheng looked at him, his eyes revealing coldness: "If an official doesn't make decisions for the people, why don't you go back and plant sweet potatoes..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng directly twisted his neck.

"Crack!"

Following the sound of bone breaking, the magistrate collapsed.

"Trash, studying hard for decades, just for pleasure!"

Throwing him on the ground like trash, Zhang Cheng looked at the women in the room.

Seeing they had no expression of fear, Zhang Cheng said: "Those who were taken, feel free to leave, no one will stop you. But if anyone wants to avenge him, you can also come find me. My name is Hua Ning, the 'Ning' of 'chickens and dogs not in peace'!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the women in the room quickly packed their things and left, as if they had no intention of avenging the magistrate at all.

Looking at them, Zhang Cheng turned and left the room.

He didn't hate hedonism; after all, people have to have pursuits to live!

But if you build your happiness on the suffering of the people, that's a corrupt official!

Let alone the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan who couldn't stand it, even he, this "chaotic neutral," couldn't bear it!

If you have the ability, wave a whip and make foreigners work; bullying your own people, what kind of ability is that!

When he was penniless in North America back then, didn't he also build a huge business empire?

Inner: But your empire was built on us!

Zhang Cheng: Get on the ship and get a hundred draws, first come first served!

Gu family, backyard.

Miserable crying sounded, and the whip constantly lashed the girls.

Wearing a loose robe, Young Master Gu laughed excitedly: "You were all bought by my Gu family. If you don't listen, I can even beat you to death, hahaha!"

Looking at Young Master Gu, the frightened girls huddled together.

And gazing at their fearful eyes, Young Master Gu became exceptionally excited: "Yes, that's the look, be more afraid!"

Picking up the whip on the side, Young Master Gu became even more excited.

However, just at this moment, the servant outside the door reported: "Young Master, the Old Master is back!"

"That old man, he really has nothing to do, managing me all day? I'm not a child anymore!"

Speaking with disdain, Young Master Gu became angry at this moment.

And just at this moment, the door was kicked open.

When Old Master Gu saw his son bullying these bought daughters of the people again, he scolded: "Look at you, what are you doing all day? Buying some useless things to abuse and kill, what's the point!"

"Father, I'm just playing around, why do you manage so much? Besides, they are just worthless things; beating them to death is fine!"

Speaking indifferently, Young Master Gu didn't care about human life at all.

And hearing his words, Old Master Gu scolded: "Your uncle sent a letter, telling us to be stable for a few days, someone from the imperial court is coming down!"

"Hmph? Uncle is the Vice Minister of Rites. As long as he doesn't fall, my Gu family is as stable as Mount Tai..."

Speaking proudly, Young Master Gu sneered.

However, just as his words finished, a mocking laugh came from the darkness in the distance: "Is that so?"

"Who?"

Turning his head suddenly, Old Master Gu was horrified.

Because there were experts in the mansion, but the other party appeared here, which meant those people...

"Drip, drip..."

Fresh blood hit the ground, forming drops of blood.

Appearing with a head in his hand, Zhang Cheng threw it forward: "He is also an official? Guess, how did he die!"

"It's Weicheng!"

Looking at the rolling head on the ground, Old Master Gu felt his scalp go numb.

Under the moonlight, the black robe fluttered in the wind, and his loosened long hair danced.

Spreading his hands, Zhang Cheng mocked: "In your eyes, they are worthless, then in my eyes, are you worth anything?"
