Chapter two hundred and eight finding fault(1/2)
"This, this is the county government..."
Seeing the scene of desolation and even ruins all over the place, a little girl among the people who followed Nie Xiaoqian cried out in surprise.
When these words came out, the little girl suddenly felt that they were too hurtful. She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Ling Tian cautiously.
"This Guobei County is not a kind place. Cao Donghua, you better not stay here any longer, otherwise you will die one day and cannot repay your debt to us..."
Nie Xiaoqian also glanced at the county government office coldly, and then spoke to Ling Tian.
It has only been a short month since Ling Tian was borrowed by Xu Ying. However, the world has obviously undergone some indescribable changes. In other words, in fact, Ling Tian has not been borrowed by Xu Ying yet.
Some aspects of the world have already changed.
At this time, looking at the county government, Nie Xiaoqian and others knew that this meant that there was no such thing as law in Guobei County.
The girl who came with Nie Xiaoqian was outspoken, while Nie Xiaoqian was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. However, both of them did not think Guobei County was a good place, let alone that Ling Tian staying here was a good choice.
"Is he the new county magistrate..."
However, at this moment, while Nie Xiaoqian was waiting for Ling Tian to leave, and before Ling Tian had yet to respond, scattered people poured out from all directions around him.
Some of them had already asked Ling Tian and others from a distance.
"Cao Donghua, if these people come to complain to you, you'd better think carefully about whether to accept it. This place..."
Among the people brought by Nie Xiaoqian, they could not help but speak when they heard shouts in the distance.
Guobei County is not a good place. It is probably not a good choice to accept any petition here.
Maybe Nie Xiaoqian and the people she brought with her are still good people, but there are differences in people's hearts. Compared with other people they don't know, even though Ling Tian has just met Nie Xiaoqian and others, they are still old acquaintances, but these people don't want to let them know each other.
Lingtian adventure.
"He is the county magistrate, the new county magistrate..."
However, before Ling Tian could deny it, the shouts in the distance that were originally just speculation had completely turned into affirmations.
Those people quickly surrounded Ling Tian and others.
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, the county government owed our restaurant two hundred taels of silver before. Can you please pay it on behalf of the county government..."
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the county government still owed me a toothache before..."
…………
The crowd in the distance finally surrounded Ling Tian and others, and what they said immediately made everyone including Ling Tian slightly stunned. These people were not here to complain, but to collect debts.
After being slightly startled, Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Go to the county government office to collect debts...
How could ordinary people have the courage? Even wealthy businessmen would not have the courage.
This Guobei County is indeed not a good place, and these people who want debts are probably not ordinary people.
"You are so bold..."
Before Ling Tian could speak, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but speak coldly.
As mentioned before, people's hearts have differences. Nie Xiaoqian is a good person, and she and Ling Tian are acquaintances. Naturally, she is on Ling Tian's side now.
"What this girl said doesn't make sense. It's only natural to pay back debts. Why, can the county government not pay back the money it owes..."
A strong voice sounded from the crowd.
This voice was obviously extremely rude, rude to Nie Xiaoqian's response, and even less polite to Ling Tian.
"You said that the county government owes money, then you should bring out the original county magistrate to testify. If there is no evidence from the original county magistrate, then you can go to whoever you gave the money to..."
Nie Xiaoqian looked coldly at the man who spoke.
This woman is indeed fierce, and can block all other people's reasons with just one sentence.
However, the man who spoke obviously did not intend to win with words. Following Nie Xiaoqian's words, the man who spoke sneered.
"What this girl said is that she wants to deny it..."
The man looked at Nie Xiaoqian with a sneer, and as he spoke, shadowy figures began to appear around him.
A faint trace of energy surrounded the surroundings.
Ling Tian had been watching Nie Xiaoqian come forward. At this time, he felt a sneer flashing in the eyes of the auras around him.
The auras around here are quite good. In this world, they are considered masters in martial arts, and there are quite a lot of them. However, to him, they are just a joke.
"Her words are my words. My words represent the empire and the government. What, do you want to disobey the government and rebel..."
Ling Tian looked coldly at the man who spoke.
As he spoke, he took a sudden step forward, crushing the man with a terrifying force.
This bit of power is definitely enough to defeat the manpower arranged by the men around him.
When Ling Tian showed his power, the man's expression changed slightly, but soon the sneer disappeared.
"What a loud tone, such arrogant words, rebellion. Do you think you are the emperor? If you say we rebel, we will rebel... If you don't pay back the money today, I will sue you. Even the Emperor and I will have trouble... uh..."
As if he had some confidence, the man roared loudly, but before he could finish his words, Ling Tian's figure suddenly disappeared from the place, and he immediately grabbed the man's neck and picked him up.
Guobei County, Nie Xiaoqian...
Although Ling Tian still doesn't know what the secret is about Nie Xiaoqian and what connection Guobei County has with him, Ling Tian is certain that all the secrets must lie in Nie Xiaoqian, Guobei County, Lannuo Temple, etc.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave Guobei County.
So, regardless of whether Guobei County is a good place or not, and how difficult it is, in short, Ling Tian must be in charge of Guobei County.
"What confidence or support do you have? Come and tell me..."
Ling Tian pinched the man's neck and said coldly.
Not far away, Nie Xiaoqian and others looked at Ling Tian in stunned silence.
They had known each other for a few days, and this was the first time they knew that Ling Tian actually had such skills.
"Sister Xiaoqian, this, this is Cao Donghua..."
Next to Nie Xiaoqian, the previously outspoken little girl looked at Nie Xiaoqian slightly uneasily and said.
"What are you afraid of? No matter what abilities he has, we will still be his saviors..."
Nie Xiaoqian suppressed the horror in her eyes and said.
Nie Xiaoqian was extremely shocked by Ling Tian's sudden display of skills, but for some reason, Nie Xiaoqian vaguely felt that she didn't need to be afraid.
And this Guobei County made Nie Xiaoqian feel like she didn't want to leave. It seemed that this was her hometown.
No, it's not hometown, but a feeling that's hard to explain, just like fish to the river and sea, and birds to the sky. In short, Nie Xiaoqian felt that she should stay in Guobei County.
"Kill me if you dare. Among the debt collectors here are the family members of the current minister, and even the family members of the current imperial censor... You can try to see what will happen to you after killing me..."
When Ling Tian pinched his neck, the man was obviously startled, but then he looked at Ling Tian and sneered and said.
Officials, ministers, censors...
It turns out that this man's support turned out to be this.
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, then laughed mockingly.
Don't say that he is not really an official. Even if he is a real official, he probably won't care about this.
"idiot……"
The word indifferent came out of Ling Tian's mouth.
In an instant, the face of the man whose neck he pinched changed drastically. These two words made him feel something bad.
Being able to be sent out to do dirty things, this man's mind was obviously not stupid. From these two words, he could hear Ling Tian's indifference and murderous intention.
The man opened his mouth quickly, wanting to say something more.
However, before he could speak again, Ling Tian's hand had already exerted force, and with the crisp sound of bone cracking, the man's throat was crushed.
"I'll say it again, this is a yamen. Anyone who dares to act arrogant is a rebel, and I will directly punish him from the nine clans..."
Throwing away the man who was still staring at death, Ling Tian stared around and said.
"Chop him..."
However, what responded to Ling Tian was a cold voice coming from not far away.
Outside those who surrounded Ling Tian and others, a man with cold eyes among the warriors who had just appeared not long ago looked at Ling Tian from a distance, or he looked at the body thrown by Ling Tian on the ground with a look of surprise.
That kind of surprise is like one of two competitors who was originally fighting with the other, but suddenly his opponent was accidentally killed, and then he won by himself.
"Chop him, I'm treating you today, let's have fun at Chunfeng Tower..."
With an expression of surprise, the man spoke loudly.
He and the man killed by Ling Tian were indeed competitors, and they were originally at a disadvantage. Otherwise, it would not have been the man who followed the officials' families forward, while he provided support from behind.
Now, this was better than his rival being killed, but this man wanted to make some contributions so that he could smoothly take over the position of his rival who was killed.
However, this guy is not a fool. In order to avoid falling into the same fate as his competitors, he would rather bleed heavily and encourage his men to go forward and kill Ling Tian than go forward himself.
