Bureaucracy, both ancient and modern!

Feudal society is even more serious, acquaintances are easy to do, this law is common in any era. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Fan Yu's acquaintance, not to mention anything else, it's just the crime of Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi who injured the officials and refused to obey, which can turn big things into small things. As long as the three Li brothers are really innocent, Pei Min believes that it will be easy to rescue them.

"Let's go! Let's go to the government office of Jingzhao Mansion! Can you rescue the Li family brothers, first eliminate the charges on your bodies, at least so that you can walk freely in Chang'an. It's rare to come to Chang'an once, it's a pity to have a good visit! Pei Min is very organized, and since he has decided to come forward, how to deal with this matter has already sorted out a clue in his mind

Gongsun Youyingying thanked him.

Gongsun Xi on the side heard a burst of joyful laughter: "Great! With a light in her eyes, she had long heard that Chang'an was as strong as a forest, a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the martial arts heroes who could meet Chang'an for a while were the reason why she promised Mother Li. It's just that she was inexplicably involved in the case, and her entire calculation was disrupted.

Pei Min glanced at Gongsun Xi, her mind was as easy to understand as ever, she hadn't seen her for many years, and her aggressive personality still hadn't changed.

Gongsun You also had a headache, thinking about how he should control her trouble-making sister, and several times he had the urge to marry her. Thinking about it, maybe if you get married and become a family, your temperament will be a little more restrained. It's just that Gongsun Xi's criteria for choosing a husband are too weird. If you can win against her, you can think about one or two. Gongsun Xi's kung fu is very clear to her, in this world, in addition to Pei Min in front of her, how many people in the same generation can really beat her? Is it possible to marry a martial arts celebrity who is seventy or eighty years old and full of children and grandchildren?

Headache!

Gongsun Xi urged: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up." For the past few days, I have been suffocating to death like a thief. I don't know if I've encountered a disaster star recently, sister, have you noticed it, since we moved to Nanzhai Village, nothing good has happened. First, Nanzhai Village was robbed, and there was no stop of noise along the way, and now it is slandered as a thief, and the bad luck of the year has gathered in these days. ”

Gongsun Xi had no intention of saying it, but Pei Min heard it with a heart, paused and asked, "What happened to the robbery of Nanzhai Village?" ”

Gongsun Youdao: "Before we came to Chang'an, the village where we lived was invaded by more than 100 thieves. They all let us run away without causing any casualties. ”

"More than 100 thieves, looting villages?" Pei Min was a little dumbfounded, now it is Lang Lang Qiankun, Datang has entered the prosperous era, and there are thieves who dare to ransack the village.

"Can you tell me more about it?" Pei Min suddenly realized that the situation was a little serious, and things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined.

Gongsun Xi said: "It's a group of unreliable thieves in Yunmengze, intending to ransack the Nanzhai Village where we live. According to the old lady, they planned to slaughter the village, but let us catch the thief and capture the king first. Later, the officials from Luoyang investigated and confirmed that they were all Jiangyang thieves who were full of evil, and many of them had committed many crimes, and they had already been on the government's wanted list, and the government alone gave a reward of 500 yuan, which made a lot of money. She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

500 guan is equivalent to the price of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the RMB of later generations is almost about 1 million.

made millions of dollars in one night, no wonder Gongsun Xi laughed as he spoke.

Pei Min smiled, but his eyes were a little solemn, and he asked: "Where is Nanzhai Village, the Luoyang government came to deal with it, and it is in Luoyang?" "He is also half a Confucian scholar, and he can read some books when he has nothing to do, and the books are all-encompassing, including the geographical chronicles of Tianxia Prefecture and County. I have a certain impression of the general topography of the states and provinces of the Tang Dynasty. But an insignificant village was not in his mind.

As they walked, they said that there were only three of them in the narrow and winding alleys.

"It is a small village south of Luoyang, near the foot of Funiu Mountain, with a population of just over 200. The people in the village are not wealthy, but they are simple and kind, and every family is like a family. But for some reason, he became the target of bandits. "Gongsun Youyou is calm and intelligent, and he has long had some doubts about this, but he can't understand the reason.

Pei Min didn't think about it, and said categorically: "They must have other purposes, not simply to loot the village. Without particular benefit, they did not dare to act so arbitrarily. Plundering the caravan caravan, no matter how great the loss is caused, is within the scope of acceptance. But the ransacking of the village and the targeting of innocent people, no matter how small the village is, the temple cannot sit idly by. The nature of the two is completely different, and only if there is enough profit can the thief take a risk. According to what you said, Nanzhai Village is far from having such interests, and there must be a reason behind this. ”

The thief entrenched in Yunmengze, Pei Min had already heard some news when he was in Yushitai.

Yunmengze was first in the pre-Qin period, belonging to the hunting area of the Chu king of Chu, where the area is quite vast, from the north side of Huarong to the south of the Han River, including mountains, hills, plains and lakes, all belong to Yunmengze. In the hundreds of years after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the siltation of sediment, the small lake of Yunmengze turned into land, and the large lake became a swamp, forming a dangerous place where reeds and wild beasts were rampant. In particular, the hundred-mile wilderness in it is even more precipitous, so that the giant thieves hide in it, and it has become a paradise for thieves and thieves, and it is a business trip to and from Jingxiang for disaster. This has been the case for nearly 100 years.

In this regard, local officials have sent troops to encircle and suppress more than once, but the cost is far less than the return.

In his memory, the most recent encirclement and suppression of the imperial court dispatched an army of 50,000, but in the end, only more than 100 unlucky thieves were killed, and nearly 1,000 people were injured. It is also because of this that the successive Jingxiang magistrates have mainly focused on preventing robberies, and there is no magic way to deal with those thieves.

During the Gaozong period in history, Yunmengze's giant robbers plundered the county seat, which angered Gaozong Li Zhi, who specially mobilized an army to suppress more than 300,000 troops, destroying the withering and decaying and leveling the hundred miles of famine.

But even in the peaceful years, there were many thieves who did not produce and needed to get something for nothing, and they either brought disaster to the township or fell into the grass. In a few years, Baili Huang was infested with thieves again. It was also because of Li Zhi's anger that the thieves since then have learned to be obedient, making a living by robbing merchants and not looting villages, which violates the bottom line of the imperial court.

The deployment of more than 300,000 troops, grain and grass are not a small number, and the thieves who are born again for the spring breeze are not worth it. Since then, Yun Mengze's thieves have changed one after another, and they have not really been destroyed.

"What's the special thing about that gang of thieves, why don't you tell me about that night?" It's best not to let go of any details......" Pei Min said and looked at Gongsun You, Gongsun Xi has a big temperament, this detail is definitely not as detailed as Gongsun You's memory.

Gongsun You relied on his memory to recount the situation that night, and then said: "They must have stepped on it in advance and rushed directly to the front of the house. I suspect they're here for our sisters, who are pretty good. ”

Pei Min did not deny Gongsun You's words, with the appearance of their sisters, the words "quite beautiful", which were modest words, it would not be an exaggeration to call them the national color and heavenly fragrance, and shook his head and said: "If it is really for you, it will be taken away directly, why bother to kill the whole village in one move?" According to my opinion, first, the thieves have a deep hatred for your village, and it is enough to kill you to relieve your anger. Second, they need to kill some people in the village, and in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, they slaughter the village in a frenzy. As for your sisters, it's just a surprise for them! By the way, where do the Li family and their brothers live? According to what you said, the Li brothers settled in Luoyang, when did they return to Nanzhai Village? ”

"It's our neighbor, right next to it!" Gongsun You's eyes already showed a hint of understanding, and he said in disbelief: "It's impossible, it's too ruthless to slaughter the whole village in order to kill three people!" She added another sentence, "The three brothers of the Li family are very famous in Luoyang, and the people left behind in Luoyang heard that the sage likes music and rhythm, so they specially recommended them, and they also plan to go to Chang'an for better prospects." I especially dared to come to Nanzhai Village to say goodbye to Li's mother...... On the same day, the attack on the village occurred. ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence!" Pei Min said: "But when you arrived in Chang'an, this kind of thing happened again, it can't be regarded as a coincidence!" ”

Gongsun You had already figured everything out, and said angrily: "This is too ruthless." ”

Gongsun Xi also understood, raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't let this girl know who he is, my sword ......" She was about to say "My sword can't spare them", and then remembered that the long sword that had been with her for many years had been broken into two, and she became depressed.

"For the sake of profit! What is the value of a human life in a few hundred days? Pei Min is in the officialdom and mixed in the territory, and he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, but he still has inexplicable anger in his heart.

He has a certain bottom line in dealing with people, just like two armies fighting, even if Tubo kills his entire army and annihilates the Shence army he created. He will only hate himself for his incompetence, but not for Tibet. Because it's a battlefield, a cannibalistic battlefield. But when Tubo invaded Taozhou and dealt with innocent people, even if he only killed more than 100 people, he would be angry and repay it a hundred times.

Killing people and killing soldiers are two different concepts.

For the sake of interests to deal with the Li family brothers, Pei Min disagrees, but it is understandable. The bad root of human nature, no profit, no early rising. But to involve innocent people to slaughter the village for this would touch his personal moral bottom line.

After a little hesitation, Pei Min said: "I want to find out the people behind the scenes, Miss You, Miss Xi, are you willing to help me?" ”

"Of course!" Gongsun Xi was the first to answer.

Gongsun Youye said: "I am willing to listen to orders!" ”

Pei Min touched his chin and said with a smile: "Then I can't go to Jingzhao Mansion with you now, I'll arrange someone to accompany you!" ”

"Why?" Gongsun Xi was puzzled!

Pei Min smiled: "Because, I want to set up a game!" ”
