Chapter 106: Letter (2nd update, please subscribe first) Even after getting on the train, Lao Hong still felt like it was all a dream! The carriage was noisy, but no one was crying or making a fuss. The most common sound was that of people expressing their relief at having survived the disaster. Lao Hong looked out of the train window. Under coercion, the driver had already started the train, and the wheels began to turn slowly, moving forward. The surrounding scenery slowly receded in the darkness, but Lao Hong's eyes were always fixed on the big wanted poster posted under the street light! There was no photo on the wanted poster, only a description of the person's clothing and appearance, as described by other people, and a name. Zhao Wei. He might be the first person in the city who had actually seen with his own eyes what a person who called himself that name looked like. Ever since the news that Zhao Wei had killed the tax collector spread to his followers, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect for this name. The man who promised in front of a mass grave that he would seek justice for these workers and farmers was not just talking empty words. He really did it, and made this city, those masters who sat high up in chairs and looked down on everyone, pay the price in blood! It was because he burned the archive room and all the farmers' indentures that they had a way to survive this time! Old Hong lowered his head and touched the crazy child's hair, he murmured softly. "I will remember it. We will all remember it."
The fire that had spread completely across the orchard had already attracted the attention of the sheriff from a village farther away! They watched in horror as the fire continued to spread, and the angry flames continued to engulf the property belonging to Master Lanting! "Quick! Quick! Report it immediately!!" When the fire illuminated half of Zhulan's sky, the train carrying the hope of survival also blew its whistle and drove into the cross-city tunnel, moving forward! Levi is having breakfast. It was a very simple breakfast, steamed buns, pickles, and a bowl of porridge. While eating, he was also reading this morning's Zhulan Morning Post. Unfortunately, he did not continue to dominate the front page of the morning newspaper today. After the archives were set on fire yesterday, all the newspapers printed an extra batch at the same time, and Levi's latest deeds were spread to the streets and alleys on the same day. The front page this morning was, of course, the explosive news that an orchard was on fire and farmers from seven villages collectively grabbed cars and fled! That's definitely enough to explode. Nothing like this has ever happened in this city since Zhulan was founded. It is extremely rare for farmers to leave their villages, let alone flee. These people have been completely tied to the land and live in an extremely numb state. This also led to the fact that the lords' control over the villages below was always indirect management through tax collectors and sheriffs. The police force deployed was very weak, and they never thought that such a group of people could do anything bold. And what happened last night, and the orchard that has not yet been completely extinguished and most of which has been burned to the ground, was like a loud slap in the face of the big landlords in Lanting! They were extremely angry! Faced with Levi's brutal killing methods, they were afraid, but faced with the farmers' resistance, they could only feel rage! This is like raising chickens and ducks at home. You need them to lay eggs before you feed them. They have a way to survive. Whenever you want to eat meat, you can kill them at any time. But suddenly one day, a few of these chickens and ducks set the yard on fire at night, pecked the guard dog to death, and finally escaped! Of course the owner would not feel scared or horrified, he would just be furious! But the train had already left Zhulan and entered the intercity tunnel. Once you get there, it's an underground area that's inaccessible to humans, and there's no way to track it down. The only thing the landlords of Lanting can do is to spread the wanted notice for that train to other underground cities as soon as possible, hoping that they can assist. If the train stops in these cities, all the people on the train must be controlled! Then, the anger also spread to the tax collector who had just taken office. He spent a lot of money to buy the position, but before he could even see a penny of return, he was directly stripped of his power and thrown into prison for dereliction of duty. Even Levi was the target of the anger. Everyone knows why these farmers fled last night. If the archives had not been burned down and the indentures had not been burned to ashes, these farmers would not have had the confidence and courage to do so! Pang Ming was forced to sign a military order in Lanting, allowing him to deploy scientists from the Meteorological Bureau and the Botanical Bureau. The only requirement was that there must be significant progress within a week. Even if he could not catch the murderer who called himself "Zhao Wei", no other tragedies would be allowed to occur!
But of course, this had nothing to do with Levi, who was eating breakfast and watching the news. He tapped the newspaper, finished the porridge in the bowl, and spoke to Bai Li. "Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. When the world doesn't allow these people to survive, they will find ways to survive themselves." Bai Li was also reading the news in the newspaper, her face full of excitement. "Where do you think they'll run to? They won't be caught again, right?" Levi just said calmly. "That depends on whether they have enough fuel in their car. It will take a long time to get to their destination from here." Hearing Levi keeping her in suspense, Bai Li curled her lips and continued to flip through the newspaper in her hand. After a few seconds, she asked casually. "So were you sent by the central government? I heard what the man from the Meteorological Bureau said before he died. He said that you deprived him of the authority given to him by the Central Atmospheric Bureau." "That's in his perception. Only people from the central government can achieve this level. As for whether I am from the central government or not, it is not important to what we are going to do." Levi was vague, neither admitting nor denying. He just picked up Zhulan's map and looked at the residences of the other two former elders and butlers who knew and met Qi Miaomiao, as well as a large landowner. Just when he was planning how to kill the last two people. Bai Li, who was listening to Levi telling riddles and flipping through the newspaper with a bored look on her face, suddenly froze. Levi noticed that she was unusual, and looked up at the rental advertisement at the bottom of the page where her eyes were focused. [. No. 26, Haitang Street, South City, formerly Xiaonv Douding Residence, is now for rent. Anyone interested please come to the rental house for detailed discussion before 17pm on the 8th - Contact: Pang Ming] "what happened?" Hearing Levi's question, Bai Li just stared at the strange rental advertisement. "This location and house number are the apartment that Qi Miaomiao's father bought for her! And the nickname Douding is also hers, and there are many people named Pang Mingzhulan, but one of them is the police chief promoted by the former chairman!" (End of this chapter)
