C988 The Secret Behind the Drum Tower
Ah!
Just then, another loud shout came out. Zhang Xiaofann's gaze swept over, only to see that a few rooms in the small courtyard had a few tens of monks.
They were holding onto sticks and surrounded Zhang Xiaofann and Hee Chunfaang, shocking Hee Chunfaang who was hiding behind him.
"There's no need to be afraid. It's just a bunch of people seeking death. They won't be difficult for me." Zhang Xiaofann promised Hee Chunfaang.
Hee Chunfaang did not know how powerful Zhang Xiaofann was. Against so many martial artists, yet he was able to act so calm and collected, which was something that ordinary people could not even compare to.
"How dare you, you lunatic! How dare you barge into the old mayor's house? Hurry up and leave, otherwise you'll die without a burial ground!"
Zhang Xiaofann was curious, what kind of people was the Mayor Yu? He would not talk about it for now, but as someone with an official status, training such a group of thugs, all of them spouting vulgarities, was abnormal.
Because for people like them, even if they pretended to be, they had to pretend to be a bit taller!
"You scum, do you think that by having more people, you can scare me? It's too funny, today I will let you know the power of Elder Zhang."
Zhang Xiaofann said as he took out a handful of poker s to play with in his hands. The thugs looked at each other, thinking that Zhang Xiaofann was pretending.
He actually used the unique skills of a TV show to scare them, making them think he was Xiao Lee's throwing dagger or a Poker Killer.
"Acting tough, since you don't want to get lost, then die."
As the thugs spoke, they attacked Zhang Xiaofann. This guy had grabbed onto the arm of one of the thugs, creating a strange pattern that attracted Zhang Xiaofann's attention, because that pattern was something he had seen on the D Nation people.
"How could this be? Don't tell me these thugs are from D Nation?"
Carrying this suspicion, Zhang Xiaofann looked at the other thugs, and sure enough, he found the same pattern on their bodies.
This scared Zhang Xiaofann to the point that his scalp tensed up, because he knew very clearly that as long as people from D were to appear, there would definitely be bad news.
"Die …"
Zhang Xiaofann shouted the word death, and dozens of poker flew out and killed all of them.
Soon after, another four experts walked out of the room. At this time, the assassins no longer bothered to hide themselves and wore the attire of a man from their country.
"What are you guys doing in China?"
Zhang Xiaofann had a faint premonition that the appearance of these people of D in Dunhuang City was related to the Treasure Convention.
"Kill …"
The four experts did not waste time talking and immediately attacked Zhang Xiaofann. Ding ding dang dang dang sounds came into the room, causing the two people in the room to become more and more nervous.
"Mayor Yu, think carefully. The frescoes that we want are things that belong to our country. If you buy them for us, not only would you get a lot of money, you would also get the care of our people."
"To you, it can be said that there are hundreds of benefits without any harm, but if you don't cooperate with us, there is only death."
Mayor Yu laughed secretly.
"A man has his ways and his ways. In my entire life, I've never done anything that would let the country down. When I'm about to die, I naturally wouldn't either."
"Hahahaha, you haven't done anything that would let the country down, so what's with this small courtyard you're living in? Don't tell me you didn't commit corruption and were able to live in such a good courtyard."
"I'm afraid you won't believe me, this drum tower is actually our Dunhuang City Government's tourism project, we are preparing to use this drum tower to display some of our Dunhuang's culture and martial arts, for everyone to see."
"Therefore, the owner of this drum tower is the people of Dunhuang, not me. I am just a supervisor inside, and once all the construction of the drum tower is completed, I will move out from here."
As a person with Dunhuang City, he had long since experienced the benefits of travelling to the Dunhuang.
Dunhuang was located in the most western part of Ganzhou Province, which was an oasis in the desert.
They could only grow grapes, cotton, watermelon and other crops. It was extremely difficult for them to rely on agriculture to develop the economy of the people of Dunhuang.
The best way was to rely on tourism resources, conduct tourism development, and give the people of Dunhuang a share. This was something he had done.
Forget about everything else, just the Dunhuang Tourism Appraisal Day, Dunhuang Tourism Grapevine and other festivals would all bring a large amount of income to the Dunhuang. Thus, the drum tower that he made would definitely have a lot of income as well.
"Hehe, do you think we would believe you just because you said those words? You're a greedy official, hurry up and buy those murals for us or we'll kill you."
"Justice is in the hearts of men. Kill me!"
"You …"
"I'm this type of tough bone."
"Alright, then we'll kill you."
A D citizen spoke out and forced a bottle of poison into the mouth of the Mayor Yu, at this time, Zhang Xiaofann rushed in.
Seeing that the Four Great Experts did not manage to get rid of Zhang Xiaofann, the two D countrymen immediately escaped through the window. Zhang Xiaofann went over to the Mayor Yu and pressed on a few of his acupoints, preventing the poison from spreading out temporarily.
Mayor Yu's expression was extremely ugly.
"You are?"
Zhang Xiaofann took out a photo for Mayor Yu to see. When Mayor Yu saw the photo, he became extremely excited.
"Xiuzhen, you guys are people of He Xiuzhen. 60 years ago, He Xiuzhen suddenly resigned. I've never seen her since then. How is she right now?"
Zhang Xiaofann moved Hee Chunfaang to the front.
"She is He Xiu's true granddaughter, Hee Chunfaang."
The Mayor Yu nodded.
"Xiu Zhen's granddaughter is already so old. Is it a happy life to be married to someone with the same surname?" Mayor Yu asked.
"My grandmother had a child before she was married, and gave birth to my father. After that, my father married and had children, and I was born."
"My grandma hasn't left the village for 60 years. What did you say?"
Hee Chunfaang was still a little complaining in her heart. If not for this man in front of her, her grandmother wouldn't have suffered so much in her entire life.
To not let his son enter the city in order to not affect his career, it was evident how much he loved this man.
If he had not married, where would he have a child? Could it be, when he thought of this, Mayor Yu was stunned.
"Mayor Yu, you guessed right, Hee Chunfaang is your granddaughter. Back then, He Xiuzhen found out that she was pregnant and you got married again, in order to not create a bad reputation for you."
"He ignored the objections of his family and went back to the village to give birth to his child. He never married in his entire life. You should have been able to imagine, in your era, how much suffering she suffered before she got married and had children."
"To be honest, I was the one who thought of a way to get He Xiuzhen to tell us. According to her previous plan, even if she were to bury this secret in her stomach, she should never let anyone know about it."
The impact on Mayor Yu was even greater than the knife that was resting on his neck. In his entire life, the person he had let down the most was He Xiuzhen.
Before he took office, he had already been married. However, after seeing He Xiuzhen, he was unable to control his emotions. He had done something wrong and ruined He Xiuzhu's entire life.
"Xiuzhen, I'm sorry."0
