Chapter 168 Kyoto
Kyoto, the center of the human race, gathers all the essence, and at the same time, also gathers a lot of dregs.
The galloping carriage passed by the main road. The horse pulling the carriage was not an ordinary horse, but a silver nine-star chasing wind horse.
If ordinary people had such a beast, they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. In small places, they would even be honored as beast masters, but here, they were just tools for pulling carriages.
Rumble.
Such a carriage was extremely fast. Running on a road with dense pedestrians, pedestrians were afraid to avoid it and hurriedly dodged to the sides.
But there were always people who were slow to avoid it, and fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch".
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that this was the Ji family's carriage?"
The pedestrian who fell did not wait for an apology, but instead waited for a whip and the curse of the coachman.
"You've delayed Young Master Ji's business, you'll die three hundred times, understand!"
It was obvious that the driver was not an ordinary person. The whip was very powerful. The whip fell and hit the pedestrian's head, which was like a watermelon shattering on the spot, exploding all over the ground.
At this moment, the surroundings became noisy. Killing someone in broad daylight was no small matter.
The onlookers blocked the road all of a sudden, and the driver who committed the crime was also panicked, "You bunch of unruly people, this is what he asked for..."
"Get out of the way quickly, don't delay Young Master Ji's time!"
After a curse, the pedestrians did not disperse, but gathered more and more.
Of course, they couldn't do anything to Young Master Ji, but anyone dared to gather together to watch this useless scene. Some even dared to shout loudly for law enforcement officers to deal with it.
"What's the matter? So noisy?"
The noise woke up Ji Jie in the carriage. In Kyoto, he was the only one who could be called Young Master Ji.
In the fight for the power of the Fruit of Fortune, Pingcheng experienced a bloody storm again, and Ye Fan appeared to suppress him steadily. Although Ji Jie was a little unwilling, he still listened to the words of his elders at home and returned to Kyoto in advance.
"Someone died?" Ji Jie looked out of the carriage and saw the tragic scene in front of the carriage. He just frowned and looked at the driver.
"Mr. Ji, he stopped him himself. I just whipped him casually..." The driver explained in fear, waving his hands in panic and stuttering.
"Idiot." Ji Jie's face was gloomy, but he just cursed and sat back in the car.
Soon, the law enforcers in Kyoto came. Seeing the body on the ground, they were very angry, but when they looked up and saw the carriage, they showed a flattering expression and came to the side of the carriage eagerly.
"So it's Young Master Ji who's back. I wonder why there's such a big scene."
The tone was warm and the words were intimate. Once these words came out, the passers-by who had hoped that the law enforcer would do justice were a little disappointed.
"Deal with it. I'm busy going home. The old man is still waiting at home." Ji Jie's voice came from the carriage.
"Oh, okay, okay."
The law enforcer quickly agreed, turned around, and called to his men behind him, "Hurry up, drag the body away, don't delay Young Master Ji's business."
Such a disposal, especially seeing the law enforcer's flattering look with their own eyes, the passers-by were a little ashamed, and even had some contempt on their faces, whispering and buzzing.
The law enforcer could naturally see and hear the expressions and whispers of these people. He seemed a little angry, holding the stick in his hand, and showed a fierce expression to these people.
"Look, what are you looking at, the law enforcer is handling things, you don't need to care!"
How could the crowd withstand such a threat, and soon they dispersed.
The body was dragged away and the crowd was evacuated. The road was soon reopened. The law enforcer came to the carriage again and said earnestly, "Mr. Ji, everything has been handled."
"Yes." Ji Jie's voice sounded, and the driver was smart and started the carriage.
The law enforcer was watching from behind. His respectful and loyal appearance made people who didn't know think that he was not the same person who just fiercely shouted for law enforcement.
...
"Law enforcers, is this how you enforce the law?" Sky, Ye Mou, who followed Li Ming here, saw the whole scene and looked at Li Ming on the side, seeming a little indignant.
"I thought the law enforcers in Pingcheng who neglected their duties were bad enough, but I didn't expect that in Kyoto, which is known as the center of the world, they would go even further, confusing right and wrong, being as docile as dogs to powerful people, and as vicious as wolves to ordinary people."
"Can they still be called law enforcers?"
"Ahem." On the side, Li Ming, who also saw this scene, was a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and whispered: "Brother Ye, you also know the human race nowadays. These big families are getting bigger and bigger in terms of proportion and power at the grassroots and high levels. Even if these law enforcers want to manage, they dare not..."
"Alas." Hearing this, Ye Mou sighed and shook his head.
"Strong men fight for the human race, and more obviously want the general public to live happily. Why has it become like this now?"
"Everyone may..." Li Ming smiled and leaned next to Ye Mou, and could only say: "Brother Ye is right. Although I am called the Governor of the South, I actually work in Kyoto. For so many years, I have wanted to change it, but the power of one person is too small after all, and I have no way."
"You are not the only one who has seen the high-level officials in Kyoto?" Ye Mou asked back, but he was a little annoyed, "As far as I know, the Governor of the West District, the Governor of the East District, and several others who are now in the high-level officials have all retired from the front line a few years ago."
"They are all generals who fought for the human race. Now they are in the civil service. Aren't they angry when they see such a scene? Have they not thought about correcting it?"
"This..." These words made Li Ming choke a little, and he didn't say anything for a while.
"Alas." Ye Mou naturally saw the emotion in Li Ming's eyes. He sighed again and no longer struggled with this moment. Instead, he said: "The senior management should have told you how to deal with me this time. You and I are friends." After many years, can you tell me the truth?”
"It is true that I informed you, but the higher-ups requested..."
Halfway through the words, Ye Mou's somewhat annoyed voice sounded, "Li Ming, you have called me brother for twenty years, and now you are going to talk to me in these official terms!"
This loud sound shocked Li Ming, and then he seemed to remember something, and his eyes became clear for a moment.
"Brother Ye, Li Ming doesn't dare." After speaking, Li Ming no longer hid it, but whispered: "The current idea of the senior management is to use this opportunity to let Brother Ye retire and return to Kyoto to take up a post. ”
"Remove my armor and return to the fields?" Hearing this, Ye Mou suddenly felt angry in his eyes, "My Ye family has always stood on the front lines and died on the battlefield. Let me remove my armor and return to the fields..."
"Brother Ye, don't be upset." Seeing that Ye Mou was about to get angry again, Li Ming quickly comforted him, "After all, this time Brother Ye secretly mobilized the Heavenly Controlling Army and assembled the Heavenly Fighting Army. It is indeed a serious taboo, and the higher-ups are also afraid of it. Brother Ye, if you act against your will, the consequences will be disastrous, so that’s why he made this move.”
"But Brother Ye, don't worry. The senior management knows Brother Ye's ambition. This time he returns to Kyoto to serve, it will only last for five years. After five years, Mr. Ye will be allowed to go to the front line again."
"Five years."
Hearing Li Ming's words, Ye Mou gritted his teeth and wanted to refute, but the appearance of the young man suddenly appeared in his mind, and he hesitated for a few seconds.
In five years, it was time for Ye Fan to come to Kyoto. To put it selfishly, if he had paved the way for Mark in these five years, it would be much easier when he comes.
This wolf, tiger and leopard in Kyoto is like this in the world. If you are not prepared, you will not be able to move forward even if he comes.
Thinking of this, in the end, this commander and general, who had been on the front line for many years and had countless meritorious deeds, nodded helplessly.
"If it's only five years, I, Ye Mou... can accept it."
