146: The Sin of Riyin
The villagers took the antidote, and the imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital checked their pulses one by one and confirmed that they had been detoxified. The two villages also officially began to unblock, which can be regarded as a complete eradication of the plague.
After Nalan Jinxiu discussed with Xu Jince, he did not say that everyone was poisoned. And although Ah Xiang and Liangshan are excusable, they have done something wrong after all. Judging from the fact that there is a murderous intention, it means that there is a problem with the character, and it will take a long time to correct.
Xu Jince decided to bring them back to the army, taking the path of criminals filling the army, but he didn't explicitly label them guilty. This is so that they can be like normal children, not so special, after all, being different is the most uncomfortable way to live.
Fu Jingui has not been in Fuhe Village for a day or two, relying on his father is Li Yin, and his uncle is the county commander of Pingcheng, so he has done a lot of things for the people. The villagers usually held back, but this time they didn't dare to say anything when they were interrogated. No matter what the guards assured, as long as someone was willing to point out Fu Jingui's sin, they would be able to deal with him, but the villagers still didn't believe him.
Nalan Jinxiu and Xu Jince wanted to listen in person, and the guards gathered the villagers together. The villagers also know that the men and women sitting on the seats are not ordinary people, and the male temperament is noble, and at first glance they have official positions. The woman is even more prominent, her skin is white and beautiful, even if she is dressed in plain clothes, it is difficult to hide her elegance, and she is also an official dependent.
But they don't know how noble the identities of these two people are. They have lived in this village for generations, and the biggest official who can be called catchy is the county magistrate of Pingcheng.
Some bold people said bluntly: It is not that no one has gone to the county government to complain before, and it is themselves who suffer in the end. The power of the Fu family is all over the sky, and no one can do it at all, even if An Sheng is now for a while, when they are gone, Fu Jingui will still take revenge.
Xu Jince was sitting at the table drinking tea, but after listening to the villager's words, his eyebrows sank, and he put the tea bowl on the table heavily. The man thought he had said something wrong, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and stood there trembling.
"The world is the world of the people of Daning, and everyone should act in accordance with the provisions of the law of Ning. My sister and I actually arrived here and found out that Fu Jingui's evil deeds were impossible not to punish. Fu Jingui and his father and his uncle did what the neighbors of the fish and meat village used their power for personal gain, you can tell them one by one. ”
Xu Jince's words were loud. He was originally a man of battle, and at the age of thirteen he could lead the army alone, and he had countless achievements. His temperament is the most eye-catching, not only the courage of the general, but also the calmness of the marquis. People can't help but want to give in, want to cling.
"You...... What is your identity?" asked an old man with white hair, hesitantly. He has lived a little longer, and his courage is naturally greater than that of ordinary people, but he was shocked by the momentum of this young man, and he even asked intermittently.
Xu Jince didn't want to reveal his identity, not because of anything else, but because of Sheng'er. After all, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and being seen by so many people is not very good to her after all. If it is known that she is the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu, it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions, such as deliberately looking for opportunities to get close to something.
Although he has concerns in his heart, he is a person who does not lie. Normally, he would not say anything he did not approve of, but he would never say anything against his will. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to make peace with him, and only said lightly: "You don't have to care what identity I am, you just need to know that I am from Zhenbei Wangfu." ”
As soon as the four words of Zhenbei Wangfu exited, the audience was in an uproar. In the originally quiet house, whispers suddenly began to be heard, and the villagers exchanged words with the neighbors. After a long time, someone finally couldn't help it, pushed away the crowd, walked to the front, and knelt down with a plop.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at the kneeling person in front of him, a middle-aged man in his forties. Dressed in a coarse cloth robe, the upper body was lying on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Caomin Tian Yinglong, two in forty this year, no children under his knees, only one daughter, is now imprisoned in the Fu family by Fu Jingui, begging the adults to save my daughter out." ”
Xu Jince was accompanied by a person dressed as a scholar, who was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was usually responsible for picking up people and things, and his name was An Shi. He stepped forward to help Tian Yinglong and said in a deep voice: "We adults are dedicated to doing things for the people, and we are not people who like to be powerful. If you ask for something, just explain it, and you don't have to bow down. But whatever we adults can do, we must do our best. ”
Tian Yinglong stood up, and only then did he dare to look at Xu Jince, who was sitting on it, and bowed his body and said, "My daughter's name is Tian Tian, and she looks handsome, and everyone present knows it." Because my daughter has not reached the age of marriage, I and my family want to ask her for a good family, so we have not decided on a family. Who knew that he was taken by Fu Jingui and asked to marry many times, he already had several wives and concubines in his family, and my daughter was unwilling to marry, so we refused.
Who knew that before the Chinese New Year, Fu Jingui snatched my daughter to their house to pay off the debt in the name of our family's arrears of land tax. God is pitiful, I have been honest all my life, and I dare not default on a single cent of taxes. Even if the harvest is not good and the family is not full, I dare not pay it!"
Xu Jince's face was even more ugly. There are many wars in northern Xinjiang, and the supply of materials is difficult in itself. There are many people in the Jinling court who abuse their power for personal gain, and the army is often unable to eat because of the lack of supply. At first, taxes were levied on the people, so that those who fought in the war could have something to eat. Later, my father saw that the climate in northern Xinjiang was really bad, and if he levied it again, he was afraid that the people would not be able to make a living, so he canceled the tax.
In order to enrich military supplies, the most comprehensive planting area was established in Yaoruo City, which is the most suitable for planting in the climate and the farthest away from Beiyan. All the people of Yaoruo City are managed at different levels in the form of troops, and they are all soldiers. They have to go to the fields when they are busy with farming, and they are also responsible for grain transportation in normal times, which ensures that everyone in northern Xinjiang can have enough to eat.
Northern Xinjiang is an autonomous region, and there is no need to pay taxes to Jinling. In other words, the people of northern Xinjiang do not need to pay taxes at all. This matter was notified in writing to the local government several years ago, so why don't the common people know about it? Needless to say, the specific reason is that those who are officials have filled their pockets.
"Five years ago, the prince had already canceled all taxes, don't you know?" An Shi's voice was neither loud nor small, but the words were very clear.
"Abolish taxes? Does it mean that we don't have to pay taxes? But over the years, every year we have said that because of the tight war, we have paid a lot of military rations. ”
"Yes! A large part of the family's income has been used to the army. ”
Xu Jince gestured to An Shi, and An Shi suddenly came over. He listened to the command and nodded frequently. Then he called two bookcases and two more who could write, and told them to remember everything that everyone said.
The villagers lined up and said one by one, Nalan Jinxiu looked at Xu Jince's pressed eyebrows, and felt in his heart that this Fu family was probably going to end. And it's not just the Fu family, I'm afraid that even the officials of the entire northern Xinjiang will have to eat melons.
Also, because of the war, sometimes there is a lack of governance. Fortunately, it is close to Chiyang City, but these small villages below are about to become the boundaries of the three regardless of the situation, and these village officials will be powerful. A small son of the head of Fuhe Village can do so many disasters, I'm afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are even more unbelievable things.
"An Ming, you will send someone to block the Fu family now, and rescue the girl named Tian Tian first. Then continue to close the village, don't let any news flow out, I want to find out all the things that the Fu family has done. Xu Jince said coldly.
An Ming personally took people to the Fu family, Nalan Jinxiu saw that the villagers were queuing up to record, so he wanted to take a look at the Fu family. Xu Jince also felt that the house was too depressing, so he took her with him.
The courtyard of the Fu family looks very simple from the outside, and compared to the ordinary farm yard, except that it is larger, there is almost no difference. Inside, there is a different cave, and there is a feeling of a house in the house. And in the small Li Yin family, there will be more than a dozen nursing homes.
When the guards rushed in, they also made a move with them. These seemingly tall and large courtyards can deal with some ordinary people, but they can be easily broken against such battle-hardened soldiers. Then naturally, Fu Jingui's family was detained. Fu Jingui still didn't know what was going on, and shouted loudly for his uncle to arrest all the people who tied him up, and later saw that nothing was going on, and begged his father to save him.
Furiyin also knew at this time that he had provoked hard stubble. None of the officers and soldiers in this water, as well as those neatly armed young men, are easy to mess with. He has always been accompanied by good words: what kind of dog is ridiculous, be careful of offending nobles, hoping to open the net, and say that he has a lot of money at home, which can be gifted, and finally said that as long as he is high-ranking and noble, everything is easy to discuss.
An Shi didn't greet him, so he locked up his family. Fu Li Yin wanted to move again, An Shi swept him with his eyes, and said threatening words kindly: "Fu Li Yin, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you move again, you will end up like Fu Gongzi." You're so old, you don't look good!"
Fuli Yin didn't dare to move, and only looked at Xu Jince who was standing at the door. The young man, dressed in pure white and silver armor, was covered in fine dust, and even his boots were snow-white. This is almost impossible to see in a rural place like theirs.
He stood unusually conspicuous in the courtyard, especially the pair of bracers made of sterling silver, which glowed coldly in the sun. His eyebrows were heavy, and he looked at the messy courtyard in a posture of a ruler. Fu Li Yin suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he felt as if he was really going to end this time.
