Next, Xingzhe and the hundred-man team rushed for another three days, and finally arrived in Jizhou. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info quite a scene along the way, and there are also villages that pass by that do not welcome the army, but it is not as serious as before, and robbers and other things have not been encountered again at all.

"Yuan Fang, it will take us a long time to reach Jizhou? ”

"Lord Hui, as long as we cross the plain in front of us again, we will enter the border of Jizhou. ”

Xingzhe looked at the plain in front of him, and shook his head helplessly, it seems that there will be at least half a day's journey, and it is estimated that it will be late at night when he arrives in Jizhou.

Xingzhe was just about to put down the curtain when something suddenly happened.

A group of ragged refugees ran in front of them, and just as the soldiers were about to draw their weapons to defend themselves, all of them fell to their knees in front of them, blocking their way.

"My lord, please help us, we really have no choice, my lord, you must be the master for us. ”

"Please...... sir"

"Call the shots for us. ”

Under the leadership of an old man, everyone knelt on the ground, and while constantly buttoning their heads, they were in pain, begging Xingzhe in the sedan chair to help them.

Li Yuanfang wanted to drive these refugees away, but was stopped by Xingzhe, who jumped out of the car. Xingzhe walked forward quickly, bent down and helped the old man up.

"Sir, if there is anything you can say, if we can help you, we will definitely try our best to help you. ”

The old man stood up with Xingzhe's support, his face full of gratitude, which made Xingzhe feel a little weird.

"Everybody, get up, get up, I'll do my best to help you, get up. ”

Xingzhe hurriedly asked the other people who were still kneeling behind the old man to stand up as well, and they were kneeled by a group of people older than him, and they heard that they would lose their lives.

"My lord, that's the case, we all escaped from Jizhou, there is a group of powerful bandits in Jizhou, they colluded with the government, and did a lot of hurtful things, we ordinary people really have no choice, so we want to go to the capital to sue the emperor, but this matter was known by the county order, he not only surrounded us, did not let us go to the court, but also told the thieves about this matter, we can only escape. ”

Xingzhe was very angry when he heard this, he couldn't get used to those corrupt officials. A group of moths who rely on the people to feed, but oppress and bully the people.

"Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely do justice to you. ”

The affairs of these refugees happen to be somewhat involved with the bandits, and they can be solved together. And you can get some news about the bandits from the old gentleman, which is of great help to them to exterminate the bandits.

Xingzhe believes that the old man must be very willing to help them, after all, the direct beneficiaries of the extermination of the bandits are the people, and in order for the people to live in the future, the old man will definitely choose the overall situation first.

"You go with our army, and we will send you back to Jizhou. ”

"No, my lord, don't do it, the county order and the thieves will arrest us, and now when we return to Jizhou, we will be sent to death. ”

Xingzhe turned his head, looked at Li Jun, and gestured to Li Jun with his gaze.

Li Jun nodded, walked to Xingzhe's side, and looked at these refugees, not only feeling pity.

These people should be like ordinary people, planting their own farms or fishing their own fish, but because of the evil deeds of the thieves and the county order, they have been reduced to the days of fleeing from sunrise and starving, just thinking about it makes people feel chills.

"I am Li Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and with my official position, I can definitely guarantee that you are safe and sound. As for the matter of suing the royal court, let's put it aside for a while, we will try our best to solve the bandits, if it is really impossible to do it, I will send someone to send you to sue the royal complaint in person. ”

The reason why Li Jun did not let these refugees go to the capital to sue the emperor was to keep this secret. His Majesty the Emperor pat Xingzhe and Li Jun secretly carried out this matter, and now no one notices them at all.

If the refugees go to the capital to sue the emperor at this time, then there will inevitably be many people who sign up, and when that time comes, it will not only be a matter of corruption and bribery, but even worse is that Xingzhe and they will be monitored, and it will be very troublesome to exterminate the bandits at that time.

The old man looked puzzled, and it was obvious that he didn't understand Li Jun's intentions.

"Why don't you just let us go to the helpless Amin?"

This question asked Li Jun, Li Jun spread his hands and glanced at Xingzhe, meaning: I can't stand it, you can make up for it.

"That's the old man, if you are in the city, we can keep you safe, but if you are out of the city, we have no way to protect you. I think both the bandits and the prefectural order want you to leave our protection, and then they can do something to you. ”

Xingzhe's meaning is very simple: if you follow us, you will be able to ensure safety, and if you leave us, you will die.

Xingzhe easily bluffed the old man, and the old man kept thanking him, probably believing Xingzhe's words.

"Old man, you go with us first, we will arrange a place for you to live, ensure your safety, and then we will discuss together how to exterminate this gang of bandits. ”

"Okay, good, good, everything is done according to what the adults say, we thank the adults for their help, thank the adults. ”

All the refugees bowed together and said "thank you" in unison, which made Xingzhe's cheekiness blush.

"Old gentleman, don't be so polite, this is all within our responsibility, and it is the profession of those of us who are officials. ”

Xingzhe's words made the old man very happy, he didn't expect that there would be officials who thought like this. It would be nice if every official thought about him and didn't think about it, the old man shook his head and fantasized.

But that can only be thought about, there are too few officials like Xingzhe, this world is like this, the vast majority of officials are selfish and only think about corruption and bribery.

Honest and honest officials can be counted almost on their fingers, and such officials have either been framed by corrupt officials, or have forgotten their hearts, and have become a member of the corrupt and bribery team.

Xingzhe sat in the sedan chair, and then called Li Yuanfang to the side, closest to Li Yuanfang's ear, and whispered in a very small voice.

"Tell the army to slow down the march, these refugees are not moving fast, we have to wait for them. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Be quiet, in addition, after waiting for Jizhou City, send people to monitor them, take turns to monitor, these people are mixed after all, I am not sure if there are county orders or bandits in it. ”

The refugees have already run so far, are there still people chasing and killing? It is indeed a bit abnormal.
