Chapter 374: Wind and snow and night trial of thieves

When Guo Lao Er was brought to Geng Xiaofan's father and son, he trembled like chaff and involuntarily knelt down.

He felt that he was going to die this time, but he didn't understand why Geng Xiaofan had to bother to heal him.

"Who is the surname, where is the name, when the grass falls, where the grass falls, and how many thieves are there? One by one, recruit from the truth! Geng Xiaofan habitually wanted to shoot shocking trees, but unfortunately he didn't, so he had to slap a few cases with his hands.

"The little Guo Kun is the second in line, and the Shanggu Army is all from the capital. It was really because he couldn't survive, so he fled here with his eldest brother Guo Gan with his clansmen. Guo Laoer's voice trembled.

"That was Guo Qian just now? How many of you are there, and where are you gathered? Geng Xiaofan knew that Guo Kun was already frightened at this time, and he didn't dare to tell lies.

"yes, that is. Originally, the adults gave 100 gold, but the big brother was not satisfied, hey, it was all a momentary ghost! Guo Kun regretted it.

"Don't talk nonsense, go back to the adults and ask, where are you falling into the grass, how many people are there?" Geng Zhen was still thinking about continuing to suppress bandits, and couldn't help but ask sharply on the side.

"It's in front of the earthen village, less than twenty miles from here. We, we have more than 120 people in total. ”

Geng Xiaofan was relieved, it seems that this is also a gangster, more than 100 people, and dozens of people were killed and injured tonight, so there should be no combat effectiveness.

"You keep saying that you can't live, why can't you live?" Geng Xiaofan asked.

"Hey! In order to survive, he had to sell his land and rent the owner's land, and his life was not much better......" Guo Kun couldn't help but wipe his tears.

Geng Xiaofan thinks about his Gengjiazhuang, it seems that this is not the case at all, even if the rent is generally high, but the farmers can still eat enough, why can't they get by?

"How much is the tax on the peasant households in the military capital?"

"See Tax Fifteen!"

"My Maoling is also the fifteenth tax officer, why can't you live?"

"Hey! Don't hide it from the adult, but the owner of the village has some kindness and can barely make a living, but, ......" Guo Kun wiped his tears, "But the owner of Guojiazhuang relied on his uncle to be Ning Duwei, and changed his tricks to send us labor and repair the manor for him." Farm work in the field...... Ay! We can't make ends meet, so we can only borrow from him again, but we can't repay the loan......"

Guo Kun couldn't help crying when he talked about the embarrassment. Geng Xiaofan also understood.

"Is this the reason why you are waiting to fall into the grass and rob the innocent? Honestly, can you wait for a life in your hands? Geng Xiaofan roared to stop Guo Kun's crying.

Guo Kun lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Zhen'er, I'll leave it to you. Ask them where they have looted, how many people they have hurt, and how many people they have killed. Geng Xiaofan got up, he believed that his son could interrogate him clearly.

After these two accidents tonight, I don't know what happened to Heping's inner relatives, he has to go and see.

Ha Ping had never experienced this kind of thing, and she was already trembling with fright, and Liu Fei'er had been by her side, trying her best to appease her. At this moment, the two of them were sitting around a campfire with their families.

"I'm scared of the river! It's okay, they don't dare to come again tonight. Geng Xiaofan also sat down by the fire.

"Where's Zhen'er? If there is such a big event, I don't come to see Heping! Liu Fei'er looked behind Geng Xiaofan and didn't find her son.

"He's got down to business, and he'll come back when he's done dealing with it later. Isn't Heping taken care of by you, what's not to worry about. Geng Xiaofan didn't care.

"Husband, I don't think those thieves are extremely vicious, but they look like some bankers." Liu Fei'er stopped asking about her son and began to care about this team of thieves.

"You can see it very accurately, they are all Zhuang people, and they are forced by life to be forced to fall into the grass."

"Oh! It seems that this Shanggu County is really far worse than Guanzhong. Liu Fei'er understood, but also a little worried.

"People don't have enough to eat, and that's a big problem. There are many reasons for this, but what I am more worried about now is that the bureaucrats in Shanggu are unable to eat and are displaced, and they are even left to blame. ”

"It seems that this is too guarded to be too good! I heard that the predecessor Tian Daren was not sick at all, but he really couldn't do it, so he complained about it. ”

"Perhaps! Shanggu is located at the junction of Han and Hungary, the land is barren, since Zhaojun's sister returned to heaven, some tribes of the Xiongnu have been ready to move in recent years. There have been many clashes in the Upper Valley. Moreover, the two captains of Ueya are said to be at odds, it's a mess! ”

Geng Xiaofan also sighed, originally thinking about leaving Chang'an far away, and didn't care about anything, before leaving, when many courtiers saw him off, they occasionally talked about the situation in Shanggu, and they all sweated for him.

"Two lieutenants? Are there two captains in Ueya? "Liu Fei'er doesn't know much about this, she only knows that Taishou is the head of a county, and the captain is mainly the leader of the troops and is considered the deputy of Taishou, but why is Shanggu only two captains?

"This is normal, there are a lot of two lieutenants in the border counties, and the most counties have four lieutenants." Geng Xiaofan explained.

"Do you know them? Will they listen to you? Liu Fei'er also cared.

"I really know one. Chen Xun, the commander of the Eastern Governor, is the son of General Chen Tang, and I took him with me when Guanghan put down the rebellion last time, and I can be regarded as a favor to him. He should listen to me, in fact, I intend to let Zhen'er follow him to be a lieutenant general or a lieutenant to train and experience. ”

"Ahh You let your son join the army? Liu Fei'er was not calm, and couldn't help but glance at Heping beside her.

"Just let him go to the army for training, a manly man, will he dance and write all his life and not go to the battlefield? Moreover, I believe that Zhen'er will be able to do it. ”

"You haven't thought about Heping? What do you want Hahei to do? Liu Fei'er still feels sorry for her son.

"Don't worry! The Eastern Governor is located in Nuqi, which is only half a day's away from Fuyang, and it is still very convenient to travel back and forth. I won't let Zhen'er stay in the army for too long, two years at most, and a year at least before he is transferred back. ”

"Oh!" Liu Fei'er's expression was still gloomy, and she couldn't help but take Heping into her arms.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me. A good man has ambitions in all directions, and you can't always keep him by your side. I think the Duwei Mansion is much safer than the Changxin Palace. Hahei knew that his mother-in-law cared about him, and persuaded him reasonably.

"Look at you, you haven't seen it yet!" Geng Xiaofan was very satisfied with Heping's attitude, and couldn't help but laugh at Liu Fei'er.

"Frightened! That's because she doesn't have a son, and when she has a son, you see if she still says such things! Liu Fei'er shouted unconvinced, but instead made Heping's face red.

"That's it! It's not early, you guys hurry up and sleep for a while, tomorrow we will cross the river and enter Shanggu County, at most one day, we will be able to get to Fuyang. ”
