With such an understatement, the already extremely quiet scene suddenly fell into absolute silence, and everyone present did not even dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Feng didn't even look at Wu Qi, and walked directly towards the crowd gathered not far away.
Wu Qi froze on the spot, looking at Qin Feng's back. Wu Qi hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to catch up, he was picked up by a thick and powerful hand on his shoulders. Then his body lost its center of gravity and flew out upside down, hitting him hard. On the stone pillar at the entrance of the yamen.
This time, Wu Qi was almost knocked unconscious by the shock.
When Wu Qi came to his senses, he found that the man dressed as a military general was looking at him with a sneer.
Ning Hu looked Wu Qi up and down and wrote lightly: "The Marquis of Qin has serious business, how can he waste his energy on you?"
Speaking of this, Ning Hu waved his hand to the county magistrate Chen Tian: "The Marquis of Qin has given the order, just follow it."
Chen Tian hesitated. Although he knew how dangerous Qin Feng was, in the final analysis, Qin Feng was a foreign minister, and Chen Tian was an official of Dadi. How could he obey the orders of a foreign minister?
But……
Recalling the previous turmoil in the capital, this guy directly sent troops and captured the city gate tower without any punishment. It can be seen that everyone in the court is afraid of Qin Feng.
How could I, a small county magistrate, offend such a big shot?
After thinking about this, Chen Tian no longer struggled, and immediately shouted to Team Leader Zhou: "Why are you still standing there? The Marquis of Qin has ordered that this bitch who oppresses the people be beheaded in public!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Tian woke up from a dream.
It turned out that just now, Qin Feng's understatement had already decided Wu Qi's life or death.
Wu Qi was unwilling to give in. After all, this was Changshui County and the territory of the Wu family. No matter how famous Qin Feng was, he was only an envoy of the Liang Kingdom.
A foreign envoy went to Changshui County to run wild and kill the confidants of the local squire? !
How unreasonable!
Wu Qi immediately took two steps back, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Tian! I am the housekeeper of Wu House. If you dare to kill me, my master will never let it go!"
"Don't forget that you have been able to serve as the magistrate of Changshui County safely for so many years because of the support of my father."
Facing Wu Qi's threat, Chen Tian hesitated again.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Today, Chen Tian helped Qin Feng kill Wu Qi. After Qin Feng walked away, Wu Dagui would definitely take action on Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was just a small county magistrate. Although he was nominally an official of the court, in the local area, he still had to look at the squire's face to act.
Chen Tian was conflicted in his heart. He was unwilling to offend Qin Feng, let alone Wu Dagui.
In desperation, Chen Tian had no choice but to muster up the courage to persuade Ning Hu: "Ning Qianhu, the Wu family also wanted to help the Marquis of Qin, but the method was a little rough, and the crime will not lead to death."
"It's better to let the Wu family burn all the contracts they signed before. Whether the people at the scene go to the capital to work as coolies is entirely voluntary."
"As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enemies than to make enemies, so let's forget it."
Wu Qi, who was still frightened just now, saw that Chen Tian finally woke up. He first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ning Hu with great pride.
"Hmph, our Wu family has done our best to serve the Marquis of Qin. It's fine if the Marquis of Qin doesn't thank you. It's really eye-opening for us to repay kindness with enmity!"
"But having said that, County Magistrate Chen is still wise. It is better to resolve enemies than to end them. For the sake of Magistrate Chen, let's forget about today's matter."
"However, after burning the contract, the Wu family still needs to sign a new contract with the Marquis of Qin. The Marquis of Qin will pay one hundred coins to the Wu family for each coolie. In this way, the Marquis of Qin gets what he wants. Manpower, and my Wu family has gained financial resources, which is mutually beneficial."
Looking at Wu Qi who was shouting crazily, Ning Hu and Liu Ming looked at each other and laughed in unison.
This heroic laughter seemed to echo throughout Changshui County.
Wu Qi's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Why are you laughing! What's so funny! Could it be that what I said is wrong?"
Ning Hu looked at Wu Qi with a smile on his face, shook his head and sighed: "It really complies with the old saying, a small demon in the temple is strong, but there are many bastards in Chi Qian."
"Have you opened your eyes? Haha, it should be us who have opened our eyes."
"The steward of a mere county squire actually threatens the Marquis of Qin. It is really ridiculous."
"Is it better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies? Becoming the enemy of the Marquis of Qin? Let me ask you, are you worthy?"
Facing Ning Hu's merciless ridicule, Wu Qi's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
This is Changshui County, the territory of the Wu family. These outsiders... No, these guys are not even outsiders. They are clearly foreigners. How dare they be so rampant? Wu Qi secretly vowed to let them go today. They have gained a lot of experience and understand that in this Changshui County, the Wu family has always said it all!
At this moment, Liu Ming hooked his fingers at Chen Tian.
Chen Tian didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest, so he hurriedly came up to him, nodding and bowing.
Liu Ming did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Since the imperial court is unwilling to intervene, then hide as far away as possible. Whatever happens in Changshui County today has nothing to do with you."
After all, Chen Tian was an official official. Even if he was just a small county magistrate, his city government was not comparable to that of a bad servant.
Hearing Liu Ming's words, Chen Tian immediately realized something. How could he dare to be verbose? He quickly turned around and ran back to the county government office, shouting at Team Leader Zhou: "Today, anyone serving as a county government official will not be allowed to step out of the gate!"
A very bad premonition spread over Team Leader Zhou. He quickly summoned the government officials who were maintaining order at the scene and trotted back to the county government office.
boom!
Along with a heavy loud noise, the county government door was slammed shut.
Wu Qi, who had witnessed the whole incident, was once again stunned. He did not expect that Chen Tian, as the county magistrate, would be so afraid of Qin Feng and others. He really lost Dadi's face!
Wu Qi relied on the support of the Wu family and felt confident. He looked down on Ning Hu and said angrily: "Haha, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid!"
"In this Changshui County..."
Before Wu Qi could finish speaking, Ning Hu had already grabbed Wu Qi's neck.
First he pulled it in front of him, then he pulled out the waist knife and raised the knife with his hand.
The blood splashed seven or eight steps away, staining a large area of the thick snow on the ground red.
Plop.
The head fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
The expression on Wu Qi's face still maintained the shocked expression on the eve of his death.
At this time, the body slowly fell to the ground.
Ning Hu put away his sword and said angrily: "What a verbose person!"
While speaking, Ning Hu stretched out his hand and pointed at the dazed servant of Wu House in front of him: "You, go back and call someone!"
