Chapter 119: Freedom from Anger
In this way, Jing Zhaoyin's work began with great fanfare, and Ma Yue's cronies were scattered all over Jingzhao under the protection of the county rangers, and they secretly visited the supervision officials...... At this time, when everyone thought that Ma Yue would be so busy that he was dizzy, Ma Yue pretended to be a sturdy civilian dressed in cloth and rode out of Chang'an.
The affairs of the county were assigned, and he trusted the abilities of the people around him, who could handle them.
And he, dressed in cloth, visited every household according to the wooden sign of the county's conscription book.
Despite his youth, Ma Yue thought he had seen enough suffering, but it was only when he visited these military households that he really understood what the war had brought to the people of the country.
For the sake of the big man, these men facing the loess died without regrets.
But at the end of the war, when these men returned from the battlefield with their scars and robes, the court did not give them the reward they deserved, their homes were deserted, and their children were starved to the bones.
These men had to work with their mutilated bodies, and the wages they received while they worked hard for their masters were still not enough to make ends meet.
Some people have migrated, just like the family that Ma Yue met when he was looking for Jingzhao, and left here far away, leaving the land on which they depended.
There are those who suffer in silence and bear the injustices that all this brings to them.
Others finally picked up the knife and looked at the people they had protected and shed their blood for, and took risks.
But is there anything else that is dangerous to them right now?
They did not die on the battlefield of swords and swords, but were forced by peaceful life to have no way out.
This is what Ma Yue needs to think about. What he wanted to do, when he arrived at the center of power in the empire, he clearly understood that the empire was already in decline, but the lives of the people had to go on, and he had to do something to maintain all this. Many people in this country know that there are too many problems, but no one wants to make any changes, everyone wants to do their own thing, whether it is right or wrong, they all want to do what they need to do according to this original fixed line, but when things go in a bad direction, things can only get worse and worse.
Ma Yue had to do something.
In May, in the four places of Baling, Xinfeng, Yangling, and Zhengxian, he returned to the prosperous Chang'an City with the exhaustion of visiting 700 households. He had no intention of admiring the scenery along the way, and the horses had already set up a caravan with more than 4,000 pieces of bamboo covered in ink.
Ma Yue and his partners are really doing something.
In a month's time, more than 60 officials of Jingzhao Yin were dismissed, and when he returned to Jingzhao Mansion, Yang Wei, the head of Yangling, and Xinfeng ordered Yang Fang to kneel in front of the mansion with thorns on his back, which made Ma Yue's eyes widen.
The bamboo pieces on his car were full of the whereabouts of the fields and money, and every lower-level official involved in this matter, all the information ultimately pointed to these two people, Yang Wei and Yang Fang, and when he came back, he wanted to compile a document and send it to Luoyang, waiting for the trial of the imperial court. But now, what's the matter with these two people kneeling in front of the door?
"Fu Jun, you are back. Both county officials have been kneeling outside the door for three days. ”
Seeing Ma Yue get off the carriage, Bao Chu, who was standing in front of the house, hurriedly ran over with a bitter face, wearing a military uniform and being propped up, and now Bao Chu is no longer like when he first came, he looks like a heroic man in the market, tall, fierce, mighty, and decent.
"How can you kneel for three days?" Ma Yue asked Bao Chu, "Didn't you say that I wasn't in the house?" ”
Bao Chu rubbed his face, frowned and said, "I said, they won't leave." ”
"Not leaving?" Ma Yue smiled, "If you don't leave, let them kneel!" Let's go, come in with me first, and take the books off the car. ”
Bao Yue hurriedly greeted the three or five rangers, and together bundled the bamboo pieces on the car and carried them to the house, Ma Yue bypassed the kneeling two people and walked into the hall, and as soon as he entered, he took off his burqa and hung it on the shelf, ran to the inner room to change into a washed clothes, and wiped his face before coming out. This month, he was very dirty, and only once did he meet the river and take a bath on the way to the woods, but he couldn't change his clothes, and the dirty ones already smelled a little.
Yang Fang and Yang Wei, who were kneeling in front of the mansion, saw Ma Yue entering, and thought that Ma Yue would come and ask them a few words, but Ma Yue just glanced at them and bypassed them, which made their hearts suddenly cold.
"Brother, what can I do? Ma Yue ignored us. ”
Faced with Yang Fang's question, Yang Wei couldn't answer it, and said angrily: "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”
"Shall we still kneel?"
Yang Fang and Yang Wei did not kneel in front of the house for three days, but came out of the house every morning to kneel in front of the house, and went back in the afternoon. After all, Ma Yue is not in the house, even if he is acting like this. But now Ma Yue is back, but instead of being respectfully helped up by Ma Yue and inviting them into the house as they imagined, they were coldly hung at the door.
"What are you kneeling on?" Yang Wei got up from the ground as he spoke, patted the floating soil between his knees, and said angrily: "I'm going to go in and ask Ma Yue for an explanation, I've been kneeling here for three days, and the punishment should be counted, what else does he want to do?" ”
Saying that, Yang Wei raised his legs and walked in, the ranger guarding the door at the gate of the mansion stood on both sides without squinting and ignored him, and after taking two steps, Yang Wei turned his head and said, "What are you still doing kneeling here, go, follow me in!" ”
"Wait." Yang Fang had a bitter face, supported the ground with both hands and said, "I, my legs are numb, I can't get up, pull me." ”
"Ugh." Yang Wei finally mustered up the courage to go inside, but this time he was deflated again, pulled up Yang Fang, whose legs were numb, and stood in front of the mansion gate, but his heart rose a little hesitantly.
If he goes in, can Ma Yue still let the two brothers out?
At this point, it's useless to think about it, either go in hard, or go home. But he has been kneeling for three days, and if he goes back like this, won't he kneel in vain?
"Let's go!"
As soon as Fang entered the pavilion, he saw Ma Yue at the top, and Yang Wei arched his hand and said loudly after a distance of more than ten steps: "Ma Fujun, the two of us are at fault, please ask for ...... from you."
Before Yang Wei finished speaking, he saw Ma Yue waving at the two of them and smiled: "Come in, I knew you would come in, find a place to sit, and listen to me read something." ”
The two of them don't know why, Yang Wei got up as soon as he sat on the stool and wanted to speak, he couldn't figure out what Ma Yue meant, he didn't say a word outside to hang his two brothers, but when he came in, he looked kind and pleasant, could it be that Ma Yue was just making a show, not wanting outsiders to see him and giving him a good face?
"Fujun, my brother is guilty......"
Yang Wei was only halfway through his words, when he saw Ma Yue impatiently stretching out his hand and drinking: "Did I let you speak?" ”
The roar shook the roof tiles, and even Bao Zhu, who was standing beside Ma Yue, looked awe-inspired, Yang Fang was so frightened that his hands unconsciously trembled in his sleeve robe, and Yang Wei was the first to bear it, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell on the stool and almost fell down, and his face turned pale as soon as he brushed it.
Gently arranging his robe, Ma Yue restrained his anger, took a handful of bamboo pieces from the side, took them and put them in his hands, these bamboo pieces were cut by himself in the mountains and forests, and the pen that wrote down the ink color was borrowed from the countryside.
"Jingzhao Xinfeng Weisheng, who lives in Xinmenli, Weixiang, has three people, has been injured in seven places, and cannot take care of himself, and has four children and an octogenarian mother. The actual reward was three hundred and twenty dollars. ”
"Jingzhao Xinfeng Weihui, who lives in the four gates of Weixiang, has one person cut off the grade, two wounds, died, there are old people and seven children in the family, fifteen people in the clan have enlisted, two people have returned home, and thirteen people have received a total of 1,200 yuan."
"Xinfeng Zhao Lan ......"
"Baling Wang Fang ......"
"Yangling Sealed Cattle ......"
……
Ma Yue tried his best to read the handsome fonts in a calm voice, but the people behind those fonts, those stories, made it difficult for him to control his emotions, and finally couldn't cry, and smashed the bamboo slices on Yang Wei's body with sobs on his face, "Is this what you are the county magistrate?" ”
Yang Wei already knelt on the ground as soon as his body shook, kept kowtowing, and kept admitting his mistakes.
Ma Yue galloped over, raised his leg and kicked Yang Wei in the face, grabbed his collar and pulled the posture and punched Yang Wei in the face, until he flew out upside down and knocked over the newly bought solid wood cases in the house, and smashed the cases to smash them in the moment.
He once smashed the crazy wild boar with his bare hands, and killed the man who was known as the invincible Yan Yu who was known to be invincible all over Wu County with three punches, how strong Ma Sanlang was, every man who died under the iron fist knew.
Yang Wei received a kick and a punch, and after smashing to the ground, he supported himself and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't balance his body at all, and he wanted to stand up crookedly, but his feet slid twice on the ground without obeying the call, lying on the ground and unable to exert his strength, but he still kowtowed slightly with blood on his face to admit his mistake, and his hands were in front of him to make arching movements.
Ma Yue rubbed his face, although it was still difficult to calm down his emotions, squinting his eyes, he took a deep breath, staring at Yang Fang, Yang Fang was already stupid at this time, where had he seen an official like Ma Yue, even in a private prison, there was no one in the world who was too guarded in his hall and fisted at his subordinates, where did the system of the Hao family go?
Yang Fang had no time to take care of these problems, he saw Yang Wei's fate, which made him even more frightened, he knew that this horse butcher was endless, at this time he was already kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, kneeling again and again while begging for mercy: "Fujun, we are wrong, we are wrong, we have prepared those fields and money, one, one centimeter of land, one big, big money will not be less." It's all for you, for you, we won't be officials anymore, we will dismiss and depose ......"
Yang Fang has already thought it through thoroughly, the Yang Party is right, the Yang family is in Jingzhao, but now they can't fight Ma Yue at all, because his pigtails were all caught by Ma Yue, and a letter was sent to Luoyang, and this matter will not be good. Only the Yang Party can fight against Ma Yue, and only the Yang Party, which has not done anything bad in these years, can fight against Ma Yue.
They finally realized the danger, Yang Fang unified his thoughts with the Yang Party for the first time, either Ma Yue was transferred out of Jing Zhaoyin, or the Yang clan was not guaranteed!
"Come on, put these two people in the Chang'an County Ya, take care of them day and night, and no one will bend the law for personal gain!"
