The other women listened to the eldest sister's words, and they all chattered about how they had come in, most of them were the same as the eldest sister, they had brought more money, and some of them had been wronged by other names in the past. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After talking nonsense, everyone sat down again and sighed.

I found a cleaner place and sat down, and then asked, "Why did the magistrate arrest people indiscriminately?"

When I asked, the eldest sister who had just answered sighed heavily and said, "Alas, girl, you don't know, our Yuncheng County used to be a good scene of good weather and good weather and the people living and working in peace and contentment, but since Hu County Ling fell seriously ill three years ago, this day has changed......

When the eldest sister said this, the others didn't dare to come out, and listened quietly, and the atmosphere was solemn.

After some conversation, the eldest sister's surname is Wang, her name is Cuiping, she is from Yuncheng, her husband died a few years ago, and she runs a cloth village alone, doing some business, but she also has no worries about food and clothing.

Sister Wang got up early today and originally planned to buy some goods in Fengdu, which is not far from Yuncheng. But as soon as I went out, I heard that the county order was stolen last night, in order to arrest the thieves, the whole city was under martial law, and it was not easy to get out of the city, but her batch of goods was urgent, and the seller had negotiated, and she went to pay today and brought the goods back by the way.

Three days later, Qi Yuanwai had a big birthday, and she ordered this batch of goods here, Qi Yuanwai was in a hurry, and she was going to pick up the goods tomorrow, she could only go early today, plus the time delayed on the road, and she could only rush back tomorrow at the earliest.

But when she took her men to the city gate, the guys who ate people and didn't spit out bones stopped her, and not only seized all the silver tickets on her, but also didn't let go of the broken silver, and arrested her for being an accomplice of thieves for no reason.

That's her hard-earned money for most of the year, and she thought that this time she would buy more goods and save a few more trips. But even if he brought so much more silver, he not only scattered his wealth, but also suffered imprisonment.

Sister Wang said as she sobbed lowly.

From her words, I probably learned that three years ago, Yuncheng was in good order under the governance of the county commander Hu, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But overnight, after this adult woke up from a serious illness, he was completely like a different person, not only increasing taxes, looting people's fat and ointment, but also conniving at bandits to run rampant without control.

Some people even privately talked about this Lord Hu colluding with those bandits, and the officials and bandits colluded to burn, kill and loot. Where do the common people still have a good life to live, and they are worried all day long.

Many people were dissatisfied and gathered to make trouble, and they were all beheaded by Lord Hu in anger, from octogenarians to three-year-old children, all of whom were spared. And the crime of beheading them is gangsterism.

After this incident, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and the others did not say it, and this three-year-old child did not know how to cooperate with the bandits?

When Sister Wang said this, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling down, and she couldn't stop crying and said: "My dead ghost husband was ...... because he was so happy, he just stepped forward to take a look at it They were arrested by them as a traitor who gathered to make trouble, and it didn't take long for everyone to be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded for public display, and the corpses were exposed to the sun at the city gate for three days, and we couldn't even collect a corpse, and were coaxed back by the soldiers, woo woo woo ......"

Seeing Sister Wang crying patheticly, my heart tightened, and I patted her back comfortingly, and everyone else lowered their heads, as if they were also recalling that unbearable past, and some also sobbed lowly.

I watched

"Yuncheng is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if such a big thing happens, won't anyone care?" I said in a heavy tone, and my other hand tightly tugged at the corner of my clothes.

After hearing this, Sister Wang rolled up her sleeves and wiped her tears, choked up and said: "Where can anyone manage it, someone has been sent from above to investigate, but the officials protect each other, as long as there are white flowers and silver in the pocket, who will care about the life and death of our ordinary people!" The tone was full of resentment.

"Doesn't the emperor know about this?" My eyes were cold, and there were officials who protected each other, but Yuncheng was so close to Fengdu, and such a big thing happened, the imperial brother would not hear the slightest rumor, and he would definitely send someone to investigate.

"How do we, the common people, know whether the emperor knows these things, we only know that after the incident, there was only one big official in Fengdu, and it is said that he came to investigate the matter. ”

Sister Wang said, then turned her eyes and took a sip fiercely, "Phew! Those things dressed in human skins were pulled by Juan Zhi's dog to eat, drink and have fun as soon as they came, where would the real investigation of the case be just a formality, and the case was hastily closed according to Hu Anzhi's words, we went to make trouble a few times, and we were all beaten back." ”

"That is, every good thing in office!" one of the women also scolded indignantly.

My eyes were a little cold, I only knew that bandits were rampant in the Yuncheng area, but I didn't know that Yuncheng had become so serious under the rule.

"Then why don't you go to the Fengdu Zhizhou Mansion to react? Lord Chen of the Zhizhou Mansion is a good official who asks for the people's life!" I asked.

Sister Wang and the others sighed heavily, and the woman who scolded just now said: "We also heard about the virtuous name of Lord Chen Qingtian, and we also planned to go to Fengdu Zhizhou Yamen to redress grievances, but before we had time to leave the house, the dog official of Juan Zhi brought people here, escorted us all to the county office, coerced and lured, and killed several people, so we suppressed this matter, we thought that as long as we lived, we could one day redress the grievances of our dead relatives, so we responded to his request, and did not make a big fuss, this forbearance is three years!"

As the woman spoke, she raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, and my heart ached and my heart was a little heavy.

"How many of you are family members of the victims of the banditry three years ago?"

As soon as I heard this, about a third of them raised their hands, and I bowed my head with cold eyes, beckoned to Su'er, and said, "Su'er, write down a list of their names and give them to me." ”

Su'er didn't ask me why, just nodded in response.

Sister Wang looked at me puzzled and asked, "Girl, what do you want to make a list?"

I took my eldest sister's hand, patted it gently, and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, since I know about this, I won't sit idly by, and I will definitely redress your grievances when I go out." ”

Who knew that the eldest sister listened to my words, as if she was listening to nonsense, and smiled lightly, "I said girl, don't be stupid, you yourself are in this prison and you can't protect yourself, don't say these comforting words, what are we doing, what are we fighting with others!"

"That is, seeing that you are a weak little girl, you can say such big things, our affairs, even if the prime minister comes, may not be able to help, you better think about yourself!"

The others looked incredulous, and retreated into their corners, listening to my joke.

When Su'er heard their words, she was anxious and angry: "Hey."

What kind of attitude do you have, my wife is a ......?"

"Su'er!" Before Su'er's words were finished, I raised my hand to stop her, after all, I myself am now in prison, and it is common sense for them not to believe it, and they can't complain about others.
