Chapter 44, Meng Shaoxia

Meng Jingye listened to the veteran and continued, "Once, our county was quite peaceful, there were no special products, and there was nothing.lā watermark ad test watermark ad test So, no one wants to come to us, most of the people in the local area are poor people, guarding one acre and three points of land, or doing some real small business, and the days are like this." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but ah, since the few of them came, everything has changed! “

"First intercepted Zhang Daguan's car on the road, killed all the old and young of the family, took all the money away, and threw the corpses of other people's families into the river to feed the fish. If it weren't for a medicine boy who saw it from afar when he was collecting medicine in the mountains, I'm afraid no one would know about it! ”

When the medicine boy saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly ran back, and he didn't dare to report to the official, he was so frightened in the house that he trembled, and the master saw it and asked, so he told his master about it once, and then his master heard it, ouch, this is terrible! This kind of thing still has to be reported to the official, so I went to the government to sue these people, right! Originally, it wasn't the Seven Evils, it was the Eight Evils! ”

"When the county order heard it, it was really angry, so he sent the county lieutenant and the catcher to arrest these people, our county seat, and not a border fortress, so there is no garrison, only a few people who watch the city gate, all old men, like me! Originally, the place was safe and secure, poor and poor, but it would not starve people to death, so there were few fast catches, only about a dozen. ”

"The county lieutenant took the catchers and bumped into these people in Luliang on the road, so a fight was inevitable, but the catchers were all ordinary people, and they had only practiced some tricks, but the emphasis was on the number of people, and a fight came down. The catchers were killed, the wounded were wounded, no one came down intact, the county lieutenant was also less injured, and several people in Luliang ran away. One man was so badly injured that he died, so the Eight Evils became the Seven Evils. ”

"There are only these seven evils, but I don't know how, they have converged a lot, and they no longer murder the people in our county, but they are still the same for outsiders, so no one dares to come to our county! Although it does not harm the lives of the people in our county, it does not allow the people of our county to leave, and anyone who wants to leave will be harassed and attacked by them endlessly. Countless people who tried to leave were heard from after leaving. ”

"There are few young people in our county, and many of them have gone to other places in the early years, and there are only so many people in the local area. Either they tried to go out and didn't come back, or they were about to come back, but they were on the way. Before you know it, it's gone! ”

Meng Jingye listened and asked, "There are only seven of them, so it is possible to stop so many people?" More people, or a few more batches, take a walk around the mountain road, and you can always get out! When the time comes, find a big official to sue, won't that be it? ”

The old soldier sighed and said, "That's true, but how can there be only seven of them, and there is another group of bandits, and their stockade is three or four in the mountains, and now anyone who passes through the mountains will be caught." Before, he only occasionally went down the mountain to rob passers-by, but he didn't dare to harass the county seat, but then he may have seen the strong cadres outside the county, so he harassed the farmers from time to time, and every harvest season, this group of people came. Looting grain, anyone who dared to resist was killed, and those who are now in the county town are used to it! If you don't dare to resist, you can live! It's like raising us like bees! ”

"And this group of bandits has also sealed the mountains and forests, and they used to be able to go into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, but now they can't go in! None of those who went in came back. The old soldier said, tears running down his face.

Meng Jingye said to the veteran, "Old man, it will be fine in the future!" Rest assured. ”

The veteran wiped his tears and said, "Dare to ask the name of the young man!" ”

"My name is Meng Jingye!"

The veteran arched his hand and said, "Let the old man lead the way for the young man!" He said. The veteran walked to the front of Meng Jingye's ox cart, pulled the ox nose ring, and slowly walked into the county seat, shouting as he walked, "The villagers come to see!" Lu Liang's seven evils have been extinguished, this is the young man Meng Gongzi! Single-handedly, provoke Lu Liang Qisha! ”

Meng Jingye sat in the car, looking at the depressed street, except for a few necessary shops, there were no other shops, no taverns and teahouses. The things in these shops are all made of materials near the county seat, a little seasoning or something, and the salt is also nearby mineral salt, and the quality is very poor, but you can't help but eat salt.

As the veterans shouted all the way, some people began to poke their heads out continuously, curiously looking at the ox cart on the road, Meng Jingye looked at the people who came out one after another. In their eyes, there was no god in the people Meng Jingye had seen in Tan Long City. How so? It's just that it lacks a kind of vitality, it's lifeless, as if it's looking down on everything.

For Meng Jingye on the road, everyone was mostly curious, but no one stepped forward to thank or kowtow or anything. Standing in the distance, he just watched quietly, his eyes were numb. There are very few young people, all of them are elderly, only some children, and there is a yearning for the future in their eyes!

Meng Jingye looked at this, half of his heart was sad, half of his heart was happy, sorrow means that if you want to change these people, it is difficult, and it can't be changed overnight, and joy means that if you can change this group of people and use them for your own use, you will definitely die for yourself. Moreover, if a person who has been suppressed and paralyzed for a long time is released, he will burst out with tremendous energy!

Meng Jingye sat quietly in the car, watching everything that violated the harmony. But there is a reflection on the future.

The veteran pulled Meng Jingye's ox cart, crossed the dilapidated street, and came to the yamen, Meng Jingye looked up and saw an old man in an official robe, but stepping on a stool, wiping the mirror hanging high at the door. The thick dust, wiped by his wet handkerchief, slowly became smooth and bright again. The old man looked at the plaque for a while.

Meng Jingye didn't make a sound to disturb, and the veteran wanted to call him. But Meng Jingye stopped the old soldier, and the two of them just looked at the old man quietly.

Maybe it was because of his age, the old man didn't stand for long, and after a while, he trembled and crawled down, and also saw Meng Jingye and the three of them.

The old man stepped forward and said to Lai Weng, "Lord County Commander, this is Meng Shaoxia, on the way to Meng Shaoxia, he has already destroyed Lu Liang Qisha!" ”

The old county order lit up when he heard it! With hot eyes, he looked at Meng Jingye, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Meng Jingye's arm, and said, "Shaoxia, you have to help us in Jinshan County!" ”
