88. Add oil and vinegar
The people in Xinping County all know that Hu Chentian is not a good person. He also directly said that Hu Chentian is not only a good person, but also a villain. Offending Hu Chentian is likely to cause trouble.
However, even though everyone knew this premise, they still laughed at Hu Chentian after dinner, laughing at him as a paper tiger, and the government was discouraged as soon as it was pressed down and obediently converted the additional tributes to conventional tributes.
You must know that according to the rules of previous years, additional tributes can be exchanged for untouchable points. Hu Chentian's ancestors did this and accumulated a lot of fixed points. Who knew that Hu Chentian's generation had cut off the inheritance of his ancestors.
Disgrace ~
Many people in Xinping County commented so.
They all believed that if they were themselves, they would definitely not easily surrender to the will of the government, nor would they take the lead in sending conventional tributes to the Xinping County Government Office, which would insult the reputation of our ancestors.
"Bang!"
On a sunny afternoon, Hu Chentian sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and read a book. Suddenly, a mosquito was buzzing and buzzing. Although he did not have close contact with Hu Chentian, he also caused a murderous disaster because of the noise.
When he spread his palms, he saw a little redness in his palms and a mosquito's flattened corpse. The servant who replaced Hu Kai next to him quickly handed out a handkerchief. Hu Chentian picked up the handkerchief and wiped his face, then wiped away the filth in his palms.
At the same time, he said to the dead mosquitoes: "The damn untouchables outside laughed at me, and even you, the mere mosquitoes, are you really thinking that Hu Chentian is easy to bully?"
After saying that, Hu Chentian handed the handkerchief back.
"They are ungrateful and will be punished one day." The servant who replaced Hu Kai bowed and took the handkerchief. The man's name is Zhao Yang, and he is also a two-star Tianyuan from Wuji Temple. He is 37 years old this year and is born skinny.
"Who will be retribution you just said? Wang Xin, the prefect of Xinping County, was Dong Jie, or did he slander me those poor and stupid untouchables outside?" Hu Chentian asked slowly.
"I refer to those untouchables." Zhao Yang's body was lowered. As a substitute for Hu Kai, Zhao Yang had never had any contact with Hu Chentian and his people around him before, so he had not yet understood Hu Chentian's nature and was very careful in everything.
"Hmph, retribution will come sooner or later. Whether it is the untouchables, the pawnshop shopkeeper who robs himself, or the prefect of Xinping County, Wang Xin and the judge of Dong Jie." Hu Chentian was angry.
"Boss, don't be too anxious. Donate the tributes this year. Anyway, the boss has many industries, and you can exchange them for sufficient points next year in the name of additional tributes." Zhao Yang advised.
He is different from Hu Kai. As a servant, he pursues the way of dealing with things that are worse than more than less than more, and he is wise to protect himself. Hu Chentian mentioned Wang Xin and Dong Jie just now, and obviously he was resentful, but Zhao Yang definitely didn't want Hu Chentian to cause trouble.
"What you said is nothing wrong, but I was ready to get rid of the untouchable status this year for a long time ago. Unexpectedly, I was so embarrassed when I came to an end. Anyone would probably be angry."
Hu Chentian gritted his teeth.
"Have the calm for a while, take a step back and the sky is wide open." Zhao Yang lowered his voice.
"Bah, Hu Kai said the same thing at the beginning, but I chose to give in, but that boy Xu Yan was aggressive. If there was any retribution, I hope Xu Yan would die first. And it would be best if I killed him by myself."
Hu Chentian's eyes were spitting fire.
"The boss will definitely find an opportunity." Zhao Yang could only agree.
"I'm already impatient. If I find an opportunity, I will definitely ask Xu Yan to die without a burial place." Hu Chentian clenched his fists and hit the pavilion pillar hard.
At this moment, a servant came from a distance. As soon as he arrived at the pavilion, the boss Hu Chentian asked with his eyes slanted, "What's so urgent?"
The servant gasped and said, "I heard that Xu Yan had been to Huamanlou two nights ago."
Hu Chentian frowned: "So what if I've been there, it's not uncommon."
The servant pressed his voice and said, "But it was the mansion of the previous magistrate, Lord Xing, and by chance, Lord Xing's crazy daughter Xing Hongxia also disappeared."
Hu Chentian frowned even more: "So what if her daughter is missing? Can it be related to Xu Yan?"
The servant continued: "Xu Yan is in the Xinping County Government Office and often goes to the library to read classics related to the three disasters in the scorched earth continent. I heard that Lord Xing's son liked to read this and that before."
Hu Chentian hugged his chest with his hands: "If these things involve any conspiracy, I'm afraid I won't believe it myself."
"But the boss just told me last time that any news about Xu Yan should be reported to the boss. Maybe he can catch some tricks from these news." The servant looked very aggrieved.
"Haha!" Hu Chentian laughed inexplicably. "What you said is nothing wrong. The news you brought today can really make up some content. As long as I can add fuel to the fire, I can find allies to kill Xu Yan."
oh?
The newly arrived servants and Zhao Yang looked at Hu Chentian, but they were confused, but they did not dare to ask.
Hu Chentian smiled mysteriously, then raised his chin proudly: "Prepare the carriage and take me to Luojiao County."
Luojiao County?
It was a county under Xinping County. Overall, it was a relatively poor place. Hu Chentian suddenly thought about going to Luojiao, but for some reason.
With doubts, the servant who had just arrived hurriedly prepared the carriage.
...
Luojiao County is thirty miles away from Xinping County Lord City. Hu Chentian's carriage is bumpy, while Zhao Yang holds the reins in his hand and takes on the job of the coachman.
When he arrived at the Luojiao County Government Office, the county magistrate Ni Lianhui was on the way to investigate the case. Knowing that Hu Chentian was coming, Ni Lianhui hurriedly took a picture of the gavel and ended the trial.
"Sir, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I haven't finished speaking yet, I have other evidence, don't rush to make a judgment." The plaintiff cried and shouted.
"Let's do this first. There is insufficient evidence, so let the defendant go." Ni Lianhui waved his hand and walked towards the back hall without looking back.
Hu Chentian was waiting in the back hall, and Ni Lianhui spread his arms from afar: "Brother Hu is here, but he is not welcome."
"You're welcome." Hu Chentian stood up from his seat.
"Since I'm here, I'll invite Brother Hu to have fun in the evening. But our family is poor, and it's not as famous as Hua Manlou in Xinping County." Ni Lianhui smiled.
"Mr. Ni should remember where Hua Manlou was before?" Hu Chentian asked in a low voice.
"I know." Seeing Hu Chentian's expression, Ni Lianhui suddenly became nervous.
"Many people in Xinping County have forgotten the case of the former magistrate, and also have forgotten Lord Ni, who is related to the case. But today I received the tip and Xing Hongxia suddenly disappeared." Hu Chentian's eyes rolled.
"Vanished! How did it disappear?" Ni Lianhui asked nervously.
