Chapter 2 Governor Chen's Mansion
Although Yangjia Village is located in a remote area, the people in the village still have enough food and clothing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Emperor Gao of Luofu summarized the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty, lived with the people's livelihood, and suppressed the strong and powerful, and at the same time created a system of three provinces and six ministries, and opened eight shares to take scholars, but he imprisoned the thoughts of scholars, in the hope that the country could be stable for a long time.
However, it is finally the peace of the country and the people, and the world is under great rule.
So even if Yang Erlang lost his parents when he was young, he could still meet the needs of food and clothing, and had the opportunity to study.
After all, there are people from the city, and as the head of Yangjia Village, he will inevitably have the friendship of the landlord.
But who are the people in this city and what they are here for, Yang Erlang and Yang Goudan naturally don't know, but they just eat happily.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the village chief raised his glass and stood up, and said with a slightly drunk face: "It is the honor of our Yangjia Village that Lord Chen came to our Yangjia Village. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion at the banquet, the prefect of a prefecture, that is the five-rank official of the imperial court, directly appointed by the ministry, in charge of the millions of people in several counties of the prefecture, all the big and small things.
Usually, the villagers of Yangjia Village, don't say that they are the prefects, but they can't see the county commanders, isn't that an honor or what?
A few bold young people in the village stood up first and raised their glasses, and then the villagers thought that toasting was the most important thing at the moment, and they all stood up and raised their glasses.
Governor Chen waved his hand, and when he saw that the villagers had dried up the wine, he also raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "The wine in the countryside is mellow, stronger than the wine in the city, and it is happy!" ”
Hearing that the prefect Chen was so close to the people and bold, the villagers also felt that this prefect was easy to get close to, and they also said that the adults had a good amount of alcohol.
Governor Chen also said: "Linbei Prefecture has jurisdiction over six counties, one hundred and three market towns, countless villages, and a population of 3.72 million. However, this official came to your Yangjia Village today, and he really has something important. ”
Events?
Yang Erlang was a thief after all, and he was shocked after hearing it, but he grew up in Yangjia Village for sixteen years, and although he had read a lot of books, he didn't know the outline of Linbei Mansion where he was located. I always feel that those who are in high positions must be prosperous and rich every day, and they will enjoy inexhaustible.
At this time, even the village chief is a little confused, indeed, Linbei Mansion is so big, and it is hundreds of miles away to go to Linbei Mansion City, but what is the important thing for people to come to Yangjia Village?
Even if there is something, he feels that there will already be a big thing when he comes to the county order.
"The countryside is simple, and the official doesn't go around in any circles, the official heard that a little girl came to your Yangjia Village a few days ago, and I also heard that she is all over the country and the city, as beautiful as a fairy, and now the saint is electing a concubine for the country, do you know her whereabouts?"
Governor Chen looked left and right at the banquet, and didn't see any woman who really captivated the country and the city, so he couldn't help but feel very sorry, so he simply said directly.
"This ......"
Village Chief Yang looked embarrassed, if this beautiful woman did have one some time ago, and I don't know where it came from, which made all the men in the village salivate, and I don't know why this woman fell in love with Yang Erlang, a particularly poor household in the village.
If there is anything else, you have to protect the villagers of the village, but the emperor chooses a concubine, it is a big event, if you hide it and do not report it, it is a bully to the king, and bullying the king is the biggest crime, and the whole village has to sit together.
So he said: "Lord Chen, this is not a matter of hay people, it is all about that Yang Erlang." ”
With that, he stood up and raised his finger.
"Yang Erlang, you are so bold, do you know that you are a bully, don't kneel down quickly."
Before Governor Chen could say anything, Village Chief Yang continued to break out, maybe he was jealous, or maybe he just wanted to protect Yangjia Village.
Governor Chen waved his hand, stood up, walked straight to Yang Erlang, and asked, "You are Yang Erlang?" ”
Yang Erlang only felt a burst of heat on his face, and countless eyes were all looking at him, some were gloating, some were full of sympathy, they all knew the crime of bullying the king, at least it was a beheading.
"It's me!"
Yang Erlang raised his head and looked at Governor Chen's mansion, he was just a capable man in his thirties, but he couldn't see the expression on his face, it was the city government that had been an official for many years. But the eyes, Yang Erlang could see the greed in his eyes.
"You obediently hand over the woman, the official promises you glory and wealth, you want to do business, the official opens up a street for you, you want to be an official, the official guarantees you the order of a county, you want to be a landlord, the official will give you a few towns of land. If you want to be at ease, the official will directly give you a hundred taels of gold. ”
Governor Chen said seductively that he didn't believe that such a hillbilly would be tempted by such a big temptation.
And as soon as these words came out, they also blew up among the villagers at once, how easy is it to hand over a person? And the remuneration is simply too much, not to mention a hundred taels of gold, it is a tael of gold, and few of them have seen it.
I couldn't help but have a look of jealousy on everyone's face.
The simplicity of the folk customs is also based on the fact that everyone is poor, and when a person suddenly becomes rich, all kinds of complex demeanors are expressed.
What's more, this is just an orphan, or a burden that doesn't contribute anything to the village, and you can help each other in normal times, but when it's critical.
It is conceivable that even if Yang Erlang really got the hundred taels of gold, how many could really fall into his hands?
"Honestly, I'm tempted, but I don't know where she's gone."
Yang Erlang couldn't stop looking at Governor Chen's eyes, although there was greed in those eyes, but there was also a hint of cunning rabbit death and lackey cooking. Whether to make friends or not, I'm afraid it's a dead end, not to mention, the woman has already flown to the sky, and she has traveled too much.
"Bold, you're a capital offense, you know? If you don't want to bother your folks. ”
Yang Erlang's words, of course Governor Chen will not believe it, but no matter what the result is, he has to send someone to search in this Linbei Mansion, and he would rather kill a thousand wrong ones than let go of one.
As soon as these words came out, the whole village was confused, if you don't want to affect your father and fellow villagers, then wouldn't everyone be a capital crime, and they all panicked, and said: "Erlang, why don't you say it?" You mean. ”
"I really don't know."
Yang Erlang smiled bitterly, I really didn't expect that one day this woman would bring him a mortal sin, it was really innocent and guilty.
"Wait, Lord Prefect, I was herding cattle last night and saw that woman was taken away by a wolf."
The dog didn't know where the courage came from, so he stood up with a "swish" and said confidently.
"Smack!"
As a result, he was slapped by the dog's father: "You kid was reading at home last night, what kind of cow did you put in it?" People are bullying the king, do you still want to bully the court officials? Don't get down on your knees yet. ”
After saying that, he leaned over to make amends to Governor Chen's mansion and said: "Lord Chen, the dog is young, I don't know that adults are high-spirited, they are discerning, and they are offended, and I hope that adults will bear with me." ”
Governor Chen was furious, and said with his hand: "Come on, arrest all the old and young in the village." ”
"You... Do you really want to go on a killing spree? ”
Yang Erlang saw the murderous intent in the eyes of Governor Chen, a strong murderous intent.
Sure enough, after a while, a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded them from all sides, and the villagers also knew that the catastrophe was coming, but they still had luck and did not resist in the slightest.
"You two stinky boys, lead the way for the official, Lao Tzu will dig your house three feet into the ground, and find out the woman, otherwise, today next year will be the sacrifice day of your whole village!"
Governor Chen said bluntly, he didn't expect that Yang Erlang would dare to be stubborn when he died.
