Chapter 117: The Soldiers Flee
The patrol team of the captain of Sili walked on the official road in the field, riding in front and behind, and the momentum was immense.
Ma Yue followed the car and rode the horse, half a horse behind Zhang Wen, and from his position, Zhang Wen Tieqing's face could just be seen.
His face was the same.
As the patrol walked, Zhang Wen's face became worse and worse, to be precise, the faces of this team were not good-looking.
In mid-April, it was agricultural time, and there were only a few tenants working and fertilizing in the fields, but many people in the countryside stayed at home and did not work in agriculture, which is puzzling. On the road, I also saw some people packing their bags and pushing the caravan to go away, and saw the car of the government hurriedly avoiding, and there were abandoned fields on the ridges, and they were in a state of depression.
"Ma Jingzhao, do you know why?"
Ma Yue shook his head, he had just come to Jing Zhaoyin, what could he know. But looking at this situation, it is also shocking that these people are migrating.
In this era, moving out is not a simple matter, there are household registration reviews in various places, and the review of Sanfu is particularly strict, even Zhang Huan, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, can only rely on the military merits of the marquis to ask Liu Hong to transfer the household registration to Sanfu, which shows the strictness of household registration. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, where the feelings of the countryside are particularly important, these people actually want to leave the Sanfu that others can't ask for, give up their own fields and not farm, but they want to leave their hometowns?
Ma Yue didn't answer Zhang Wen, and ran towards the family of seven pushing the caravan, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
The woman in the cart was frightened, and the skeletal child of thirteen or fourteen years old held the sister who was waiting to be fed in one hand, and stood in front of his mother with the noose of the ploughing ox, and stared at Ma Yue in horror with big eyes, speechless. The man on the board looked to be in his forties and quite strong, but for some reason he broke his left leg and was lying on his side with a sick look, and at this time he also sat up and opened his hand to hold the crying child on the board in his arms.
The woman's sad expression and the child's frightened eyes made Ma Yue's heart tremble...... What's going on?
"Ahem, you're an official?"
The man's voice was hoarse, and he bent himself up to salute, and Ma Yue noticed that his eyes were full of dead silence.
"You don't have to salute, you are going to ...... Relocation? ”
As soon as Ma Yue said the word "emigration", the family suddenly looked like cats with their tails trampled, and looked at Ma Yue with wide eyes, for fear that he would pull out the saber on his waist.
Moving out is tantamount to fleeing!
The family was speechless in shock, and Ma Yue sighed, what happened to the people, why should they be so afraid of the officials. "Where are you going? There are still rebels in Liangzhou, the road in Longguan is blocked, and Bingzhou is not in this direction, you are going to Hanzhong. ”
The man nodded with a disgraced face, and his dejected appearance made Ma Yue sad, and the sturdy man had a martial hair on his head, if he hadn't broken his legs and relied on his strength, where would he go in this world? Now he has to lie on the cart and let his woman push and walk.
"The checkpoint in Hanzhong is not passable, across the Qinchuan River, there are six roads in the Qinling Mountains, and those who know the map are not allowed to pass one out of ten...... Do you know the way? ”
Speaking of this, Ma Yue's tone was no longer tough, but a little compassionate, "Go back, stay in your hometown, here is the richest Sanfu in the Han Dynasty, and the situation will soon be better, just like before." ”
The woman's mouth was covered with fog, but when she opened her mouth, she choked for a while, and only said after a while: "Lang Jun, it's not that we want to flee, if there is still a way to live, who wants to leave home?" Saying that, the woman cried out, and said in a sobbing voice: "The man went to Liangzhou to fight, came back without legs, and the family had no livelihood, the court rewarded fifteen acres of land, and it was only three acres to my family, but three acres were also forcibly bought, and even the cattle can't be kept if they live here, Lang Jun, you just let us go......"
"Are they all like this, robes?" Ma Yueqing asked the man with a blue face and a sentence from between his teeth, his heart was filled with hatred for corrupt officials, twelve acres of land, are those people who the fuck lack these twelve acres of land? The man bravely lost his leg in battle on the battlefield, but the reward for returning home to the court was deducted to one-fifth......
The man closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Don't go." Ma Yue looked into the man's eyes and said: "The good man who fought bravely for the Han should not leave his hometown, go back, tell your robes, wait at home, wait for my news, I am Ma Yue, the new Jing Zhaoyin." ”
Jing Zhaoyin, what an official position that is!
"You're the king!" The man was stunned, turned over and wanted to salute, but was firmly pressed on the cart by Ma Yue. Ma Yue said: "I have also been on the battlefield, give me two months, I will call the shots for you in this matter, and wait for my news at home." ”
"Your reward will not be less than the slightest, and I will let them spit out more if those corrupt officials swallow it!"
The man was stunned, "Fu ...... Fujun, are you telling the truth? ”
Ma Yue nodded and said seriously: "I promise you, to all the robes who fought with you in the northern Xinjiang, Ma Yue will definitely seek justice for you and return Jingzhao Yin Qingming!" ”
The man looked at Ma Yue's loud promise, Nunu was speechless, dragged his stump leg and turned over, and slammed his head on the car plank. "The government is high and righteous and the grass people are inscribed in the five!"
"It's my sin that the people of Jingzhaoyin suffer and the soldiers are humiliated!"
Ma Yue bowed, helped the man up, personally pushed the cart and led the ploughing ox to walk back with a family of seven, he said: "You go back and tell the people, if there are officials in the county who are illegal and bullying the people, you can go to Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion to tell me that I know, I will avenge you, but don't move out without permission, if you are caught, you will be on the border!" Even if you don't get caught, it's hard to go through the six roads of Qinchuan, and the people can come to me if they have any difficulties, if it's a long way, I will inspect Jingzhao every ten years, and even if there is no evidence, I can go to investigate. ”
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
The man and the woman were already grateful, they didn't know what to say, they never thought that two thousand stones like Jing Zhaoyin would appear on the official road on such an afternoon, let alone help them in person!
Pushed to the side of the car, Sun Wei, who had already been following him, hurriedly dismounted and put the carriage frame on the ploughing cow on the horse, snatched the cart from Ma Yue's hand and pushed it in his hand, "Fujun, I'll go." ”
Ma Yue nodded, clapped his palms and said, "You can send this brother's family and go back to Chang'an directly." Saying that, Ma Yue turned his head and nodded to the man with the broken leg on the cart, and the man bowed down again, and then was escorted away by Sun Wei.
Zhang Wen watched Ma Yue do all this, as Jing Zhaoyin's direct boss, Ma Yue actually walked away directly when he asked, so that he couldn't wipe his face, squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Yue, without saying a word.
Of course, Ma Yue knew what was going on, and watched Sun Wei's figure drift away, and said to Zhang Wen: "Please forgive me, Lord Captain, Ma Sanyi is anxious ......"
Zhang Wen waved his hand, and the veteran was especially powerful, glanced at Ma Yue, and shook his head gently.
This Ma Yue is too similar to that Dong Zhuo. It has nothing to do with this majestic skin, the heroic spirit that can't be covered by the Jingzhao official uniform, acting recklessly but pushing the cart for the people...... Zhang Wen took a deep breath, he was over half a hundred years old, and it stands to reason that he should have a peaceful mind, but he still couldn't get used to Dong Zhuo and Ma Yue and the like. After a pause, he said: "Gai Yuangu's Liangzhou Thorn History, the old man heard that you recommended it in the court?" ”
Ma Yue nodded yes, I don't know why Zhang Wen suddenly mentioned Gai Xun.
"The old man once heard that Dunhuang Gai Yuangu was just doing things impartially, and he had served in Liangzhou County for several years and was familiar with the government affairs of the county, so he wanted to recommend him as Jing Zhaoyin." Zhang Wen glanced at Ma Yue and said, "Now he is the Liangzhou Thorn History, and Jing Zhaoyin has fallen on you." You did a good job when Ren Jiang was a master craftsman, but the old man didn't know if you could do a good job with this Jing Zhaoyin and Sanfu...... Aside from that, what happened to that family just now? Ma Junhao had fugitives when he first took office as Jing Zhaoyin? ”
Ma Yue was unimpressed by Zhang Wen's ridicule, arched his hand and said respectfully: "Lord Lieutenant, that is the man who fought with you on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and he won the reward of fifteen acres of fertile land for his bravery, and lost a leg. When he came back to the county, he only had three acres in his hands, and the other twelve acres were missing, and the three acres he got were forcibly purchased, and he couldn't live anymore......"
"Bastard, there is such a thing!" Zhang Wen's angry beard stood up when he heard this, and he shouted angrily and pointed at Ma Yue and a group of Jing Zhaoyin officials around him: "Embezzling military salaries and grabbing meritorious rewards, what else can't they do!" Ma Yue, no matter what method you use, the old man will investigate strictly, and the officials involved in this case will all be imprisoned and wait for their fate! ”
"No!"
……
"Fujun is back!"
"Fujun!"
"Ma Fujun!"
With the arrival of Er Pei and Bao Chu, Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion was much more lively, Liu Erlang bought back a lot of daily necessities from Chang'an Nine Cities, and also invited two cooks, adding a lot of popularity to Jingzhao Mansion.
Ma Yue looked at Bao Zhu, Pei Hui and others who saluted him one by one, and then beckoned and said, "Gentlemen, please come with me." ”
Then he strode into the hall and sat down.
"There was something wrong in the county, and he accidentally intercepted a family of seven who were planning to move out, revealing that Jing Zhaoyin officials were greedy for military merit rewards. Take a pen and paper! Ma Yue's face was a little angry, he thought that even if he was greedy here, it wouldn't be too outrageous, but how many things did he pull out at once? greedy for military rewards, embezzled military salaries, and seized fertile land...... Just like Zhang Wen scolded, what else did they dare not do?
Liu Erlang took a pen and paper, spread it on a few cases, pressed the paperweight, and stood aside to grind the ink.
"Right now, the only thing Ma San can rely on is the monarchs, and the heavy responsibility of purging Jing Zhaoyin will fall on the shoulders of us and others." Ma Yue's eyes flashed from the faces of the heavy responsibilities present in turn, Liu Erlang, Peng Shi, Sun Wei, Bao Chu, Pei Hui, Pei Juan, Du Ji...... Liu Zhong had just finished grinding a little, and Ma Yue picked up the wolf pen and wrote a few lines of large characters on the paper......
