Daming King of Punishment

Song Wuya walked to the door of a family, looked at the door and said, "This place is too quiet, isn't it? Not even the sound of a dog barking."

"Hey!" Bai Zhuole said: "I thought you were going to say something! What's so strange about this? This poor family can't even feed their people, and you still expect them to stutter the dog?"

There is nothing wrong with these words, Song Wuya pointed to the gate and said: "Look at the gate of the courtyard, let alone the dilapidated state, this gate is full of sundries."

At this moment, Bai Zhuo heard Song Wuya say this, he looked carefully, and found that this was really the case, so he couldn't help frowning.

"That's right! It's really a bit inappropriate to come. Could it be that there is no one living in this house?" Bai Zhuo was puzzled, and stepped forward to push the door.

Unexpectedly, the gate of the courtyard opened in response to the sound, almost letting Bai Zhuo in.He was startled, looked at the courtyard and said: "Brother Wu Ya, there is really no one living in this place!"

"Hmm! Let's go look elsewhere." Song Wuya also guessed this possibility, and immediately said to them.

A group of people continued to walk towards the village, but the street was full of sundries, a desolate scene.Anyone who reads this will have a murmur in their hearts.Bai Zhuo, who was walking on the side, felt more and more strange the more he walked into the village. Did he turn his head to look at Song Wuya beside him, it could be seen that he suddenly lost his mind.

They knocked on the doors of several courtyards, but no one responded, as if Song Wuya's guess had been answered.

"No way? This village is not completely empty, is it?" Bai Zhuo looked at the other people around him in astonishment. After all, there is no one in such a big village, which is really unreasonable.

"The houses in this village are still in good condition. It doesn't seem like some disaster happened. Why did people disappear for no reason?" Song Wuya was surprised when he saw these intact houses.

Compared with ordinary villages, the houses here are much better, and they definitely don't look like ordinary poor people live.It's just that such a good house has been abandoned like this, it really can't be justified.

Bai Zhuo understood what Song Wuya meant, and immediately said: "I think it's either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Brother Wu Ya hasn't forgotten the gang of robbers we met when we came here, right? I guess the villagers here left because of this." their former home.”

"It's not impossible, but I don't think it's possible." Song Wuya didn't deny Bai Zhuo's conjecture, nor did he agree. "Let's leave it alone, just find an empty room to live in temporarily, it's better than living outside."

This is true. After driving for a day, everyone was already jolting badly in the carriage.Especially the coachman, who has been outside all day, a lot of skin on his face has turned blue.

"Brother Bai, you and Wen'er Xiaohuan go in and find a room, and I'll get some firewood." Song Wuya said, and started looking for it in the yard by himself.

The coachman drove the carriage into the yard, and thoughtful of the horse, found a room and put it in.

When the light of the fire filled the entire room, the people who had suffered from the cold all day became somewhat warmer.

Eating dry food and drinking hot water, although in this desolate place, is also a good enjoyment.

"Brother Wu Ya, you said that this place is also strange. It can't be like Songjiang. It's because of the government that the people here are displaced?"

Bai Zhuo's words reminded Song Wuya that this possibility might really exist.He felt strange before, because those robbers blocking the way were not villains at all.Moreover, they still have a sense of simplicity, even if they are blocking the road and robbing, they are not that fierce.From this point of view, Song Wuya felt that they were like a group of desperate people.

If it was as he guessed, then something must have happened in this place.

"Our luck has to be said to be too good or too bad." At this moment, Song Wuya smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly.

Bai Zhuo looked at him, he knew what Song Wuya meant.

"That's right! Then things happened in the three county towns, and we might be able to arrest another corrupt official. It's a pity that the people here don't know how much they have suffered!"

Following Song Wuya's words, Bai Zhuo also let out a sigh of emotion.As Song Wuya said before, they both want to encounter such a thing and don't want to encounter it.There are no more than two reasons, but the starting point is different.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo's expressions were heavy. They didn't know what kind of opponent they would meet this time.The most important thing right now is to find out what exactly happened to cause this situation to happen.

It was very deserted at night, and there was a cold wind blowing outside, and I didn't know what was going on.After closing the doors and windows, everyone curled up in a corner and rested like this.

I don't know when it was the next day, but when Song Wuya woke up, the room was icy cold.The others were still sleeping, and the sun outside had already shone in.

Walking out of the house, I saw that the carriage outside was still there, and the horse was snorting, everything was fine.

"Get up!" Song Wuya shouted, now is not the time to sleep in, they can take advantage of this to rush to the county seat and find an inn to rest.

Hearing Song Wuya's shout, several people got up.At this moment, they walked out of the yard and drove straight to the county seat in a carriage.

"Brother Wu Ya, you can't even see a single person on this road!" Bai Zhuo quickly regained consciousness, looking outside from the car, he didn't see a single person along the way.

Now it's the beginning of spring, and it's time for spring planting, but there is no sign of anyone in the acre of land along the way.

In addition to the village where they spent the night yesterday, all this made things even more unbelievable.There are no people, but it doesn't mean that there are no people here.After all, it seems that there are a lot of fertile fields in dialect, so they can't all belong to this village, right?

"Ahead is the county seat." The coachman said outside.

Song Wuya and the others looked up, only to see a group of people surrounded by the gate of the city.

"Hey! This is a strange thing! How come there are so many people at the gate of this small county?"

Their carriage soon arrived at the door, looking at those people, Song Wuya finally understood what was going on.A group of officers and soldiers were standing in front of the city gate, asking each of these people what to do.

Their carriage was also stopped, and Song Wuya got out of the carriage and followed those people to the back.

"Where do you say you are from?"

Song Wuya was about to ask what was going on, but before he could open his mouth, he heard an angry shout from the officers and soldiers in front.

The person who was asked was a strong middle-aged man. He looked fierce at the moment, and responded angrily: "I am from the Songjiang family! Do you have any questions?"

The man's tone was very tough, and he was always like this when facing officers and soldiers. One can imagine what this man should be like in ordinary times.

The officers and soldiers stopped doing it after hearing what he said. As soon as they listened, they grabbed the strong man by the collar: "Say it louder again? Do you think I can't recognize your accent? Give this guy I grab it!"

Arresting people for no reason, Song Wuya was stunned.What happened was completely beyond his expectation.Seeing this, Bai Zhuo at the side immediately pulled Song Wuya back: "Brother Wuya, you heard that. Why do these officers and soldiers look like bandits? As soon as he heard that man said he was from the Songjiang Mansion, he was immediately arrested. Get up. I think we should stop talking about Songjiang, and just say that he is from the capital."

Song Wuya smiled: "It's okay, let's see. If he wants to arrest you, even if you say you are the Jade Emperor, he will arrest you!"

Chapter 3 Nineteen

Chapter 3 Nineteen

Bai Zhuo's worry was not unreasonable, this was the first time Song Wuya saw people blocking the way at the gate of the city.I just heard about it just now, and I don't know what's going on at all.

Several soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the strong man a few times and led him into the city.The brawny man naturally refused to agree, and struggled to curse: "You bastards! Let go of me! I'm not from your country! Why do you arrest me to build dams?"

The strong man shouted out the reason for the incident. It turned out that these officers and soldiers arrested people to build dams.This is unbelievable. I have never seen the government build a dam and still need to arrest people.After all, the imperial court allocated a lot of money, which was used to hire people to repair dikes and dams.

But this brawny man is so unwilling, could it be that he thinks he has little money?

It's already spring now, and it won't be long before the rainy season is said.It is also normal to choose to clean up the river and build dams at this time.

A few officers and soldiers didn't care what the man was swearing, and dragged them into the city.During this commotion, the soldiers didn't feel the slightest strange, on the contrary, they seemed to be accustomed to it.

"Come on, come on, next!"

When the inspecting soldier shouted, the people behind moved forward a few steps.After a while, Song Wuya suddenly turned around and a person came out, and walked outside.

Song Wuya just got out of the way for him, when he heard the officers and soldiers inside yelling: "Catch that kid, he's about to run!"

Hearing this, the man was also summoned, and immediately walked away to the distance.These officers and soldiers were not vegetarians, they were nimble, and quickly chased after them, and those who were about to run were caught back after a distance of more than ten feet.

Looking at that person, with a bitter look on his face, as if resigned to his fate, he drooped his head and said nothing.
