Chapter 63: Acting in Embarrassment

Zhao Yishan listened to Du Ruofei's unkind tone and asked, "What is there about the emperor today who offended the girl and made you so resentful?"

Du Ruofei was still indignant: "Zhu Yunyu connived at the nobles to annex the land, the rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand, how can it not make people angry." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Ma Shiyuan also said: "Over the years, I have also come into contact with some poor people, most of them are farmers who have lost their land, no wonder Ruofei is so resentful. ”

Du Ruofei continued: "In order to annex land, these magnates do everything they can, buying and selling, colluding with the government, and conspiracies, all of which are commonplace, and Zhu Yunyu's court, in order to protect the interests of these magnates, often ignores the peasants who have lost their land, and also sends people to drive them away from their hometowns, so there are many beggars in various state and county towns. ”

Ten days ago, Zhao Yishan heard about Piaochun's tragic life story in Piaoxiang Courtyard, Piaochun's land was designed and seized by the magnates, resulting in poverty and the death of both parents, and she had to sell herself to bury her father and mother.

Facts speak louder than words, Zhao Yishan has believed most of Du Ruofei and Ma Shiyuan's words, but he still has questions in his heart: "The Seven Star Sect, the first major faction of the Great Zhou Kingdom, is in Yangzhou, as the leader of the righteous path, will they stand by and watch when they see so many injustices?"

After Du Ruofei laughed, she said hatefully: "Little Brother Zhao, you actually expect these famous and decent families to uphold justice, it's really a big mistake, I am separated from the Seven Star Sect, and I am the most clear about the actions of the faction, there are heads of the Seven Star Sect, elders, teachers, disciples, miscellaneous servants, a total of more than 100,000 people, how to support so many people?" It is not enough to rely on the donations of the powerful, so the Seven Star Sect frantically encroached on the fields on the periphery of the Panlong Mountain Range, so that the tenant farmers paid annual rent, and the Seven Star Sect relied on these rents to maintain, in recent years, the Seven Star Sect recruited disciples, and the number of people increased, and they also encroached on more land, so that more farmers lost their land and became beggars, and the tenant farmers did not have a good time, they had to pay the rent of the Seven Star Sect, and they had to pay the taxes of the court, and they were very poor. ”

Ma Shiyuan heard Du Ruofei say so much, and was afraid that she would be tired, so he said: "Ruofei, you take a rest first, and I'll talk about it again, in fact, not only the martial arts sect encroached on the land of the peasants, but even the martial arts family is not much better, such as the Lin family in Tianxing County." ”

When Zhao Yishan heard the Lin family, he interrupted: "Brother Ma, what you said about the Lin family, but the Lin family where Lin Qiandao is located?"

Ma Shiyuan nodded and said: " It's that Lin family, there is no second Lin family in Tianxing County who has the momentum of their family, the Lin family's Bai Yu Gong has cultivated to the realm of Dacheng, but it has the strength of the seven martial arts hall masters, but it is a pity that the contemporary head of the Lin family only practiced Bai Yu Gong to the thirteenth layer, which is two layers away from the fifteenth layer of Dacheng, and I can also beat him, but the Lin family not only has a family master, the Lin family is a martial arts family, there are many descendants, there are nearly 3,000 people, all of them have good martial arts talents, there are more than 30 people who have cultivated Bai Yugong to the twelfth layer, more than 140 people have cultivated Bai Yugong to the 11th layer, and there are nearly 300 people who have cultivated Bai Yugong to the 10th layer, and their family has such a strong force, how can it not encroach on the farmer's field so as to feed more people of the Lin family. ”

After Ma Shiyuan finished speaking, Zhao Yishan said gloomily: "The world is unfair, and it is so bad!"

Du Ruofei saw that Zhao Yishan was in a bad mood, and sighed: "The world is inherently unfair, and I couldn't stand the actions of the Seven Star Sect at the beginning, so I broke away from the Seven Star Sect, and then I came to the brothel to laugh and sing, earn money from the powerful, and help the poor." ”

Ma Shiyuan took the case: "It's a pity that you and I are not good at martial arts, otherwise we will kill all these powerful people and heroes, and return the world to a bright future." ”

Zhao Yishan asked at this time: "Why does the current emperor connive at these powerful and powerful people to act so recklessly?"

Du Ruofei said: "Hmph, this is not the idea that Dazai Wei Jin came up with, if these powerful people and the powerful are fattened, the imperial court can levy heavy taxes on them, which can be described as wealth." The peasant households who lost their land became vagrants and beggars, but when the army recruited soldiers, these people did not rush to them, and they could be said to win people. Such a thing of both people and money, Zhu Yunyu is of course happy to see it. ”

Zhao Yishan also took the case when he heard this: "Wei Jin is so vicious, Zhu Yunyu is so mediocre!"

And Zhu Yunyu, who was now receiving Le Yuanzheng, the head of the Seven Star Sect, in the Imperial Garden, sneezed several times in a row, and the eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly handed over a hand towel.

Le Yuanzheng, who was sitting opposite Zhu Yunyu, said: "The weather is warm and cold now, Your Majesty should pay more attention to your body." ”

Le Yuanzheng has a noble status, and Zhu Yunyu will receive him in the Imperial Garden, and after Zhu Yunyu heard Le Yuanzheng's words, he waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, I have this group of servants watching, I can't get sick, but my heart disease can only be cured if I have the head of Lao Le!"

Le Yuanzheng smiled and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's heart disease is not about the snatching of the Ziyun Sword?"

Zhu Yunyuqiang said with a smile: "It's still the head of the Le family who knows my thoughts, and after a secret visit, I found out that it was the Jinhong gang who snatched the Ziyun Sword, and the person who instructed them was either Prince Xi or Prince Qi." ”

Le Yuan put down the teacup and asked, "Then what does Your Majesty want Le to do so that you can help Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yunyu stretched out two fingers and said: "The Seven Star Sect is the number one martial arts sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are many masters in the door, so I hope that the head of the Le Sect will send masters to help me, one is to send masters to Tianhong City to prevent the Jinhong Gang and other gangs from making trouble, and then send masters to Nanzhou and Tuzhou to assassinate the disciples of Prince Xi and Prince Qi." ”

Le Yuan said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although Le is the head of the Seven Star Sect, but whenever there is a major event, the Elders Council must make a decision. Helping His Majesty eradicate the rebellion was what the Seven Star Sect should do, but in recent years, the fields occupied by the Seven Star Sect have failed to harvest, and the sect is short of funds. ”

Zhu Yunyu smiled secretly in his heart: "You Seven Star Sect have one million acres of fertile land, I have never levied heavy taxes on the Seven Star Sect, how can you be short of money?

Although Zhu Yunyu was full of slander, he said with a smile: "I know the difficulties of the head of Le, tomorrow I will ask the head of the household to pay for the official silver tickets of 10 million taels of gold, these silver tickets can be exchanged for real money and silver in the yamen in various places, please feel free to use these silver tickets to help me cut off the power of Prince Xi and Prince Qi in the rivers and lakes." ”

Le Yuan Zheng saw that Zhu Yunyu was very bold, and actually gave him an official silver ticket of 10 million taels of gold, and he was very satisfied. He has been in charge of the Seven Star Sect for more than ten years, constantly expanding the fields in the faction, collecting rent, and the annual income is only one million taels of gold, and the expenses in the faction are very large, and there is no balance every year.

So Le Yuanzheng immediately bowed to Zhu Yunyu: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the difficulties of the Seven Star Sect, Le is grateful, this ten million taels of gold, Le must be used on the blade, and live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Zhu Yunyu also stood up immediately, helped Le Yuanzheng up and said, "Master Le, why do you make this big gift, please get up quickly!"

Le Yuan stood up, patted the dust on his knees, raised the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, there is no wine today, Le Mou will bring wine with tea and give a glass to Your Majesty." After speaking, he drank all the tea in the cup, and Zhu Yunyu also drank the tea in the cup.

After talking about the matter, Zhu Yunyu and Le Yuanzheng chatted a few words, and then let Le Yuanzheng leave the palace.

After Le Yuan Zheng left the palace, he returned to the Seven Star Martial Arts Pavilion, he did not alarm the disciples in the martial arts hall and the accompanying guards, only let the master of the Ji Pavilion accompany him and met Le Yingya.

Le Yingya was still angry with Le Yuanzheng, and she didn't give Le Yuan a good look after meeting.

After all, Le Yuanzheng felt sorry for his only daughter, and said kindly: "Yingya, you have also left the Seven Star Sect for a while, you must be tired of shopping in the outside world, so go back with me, okay?"

Le Yingya said: "Hmph, I don't want to go back with you, I want to stay in Tianhong City and wait for Zhao Yishan." ”

Le Yuan asked puzzledly, "Who is Zhao Yishan?"

At this time, the owner of the Ji Pavilion interjected: "Zhao Yishan is a bosom friend of Yingya, and now he is committing a crime, and he is wanted by the Yamen together with the prostitute Ma Shiyuan. ”

Le Yuan is so shrewd, hearing Pavilion Master Ji say this, he still doesn't understand the relationship between Le Yingya and Zhao Yishan, his face also became ugly, and he reprimanded: "Le Yingya, you have no one to discipline you outside, you are doing nonsense, and you will return to the Seven Star Sect with me tomorrow." ”

After Le Yuan finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
