Chapter 695: The People Handed Over to the Peasants
Seeing that Zhe Zhaoqiao's face turned white, Mu Wan hurriedly added: "But my uncle is blessed with a great life, and he is safe and sound under the protection of Tong Qing and Ning Zhen, and he has now returned to Baode County." ”
When Zhi Zhao heard this, he put his mind at ease, thought about it for a while, and resolutely ordered: "Xiaowan, immediately notify the guard battalion and follow Ben Shuai to Baode County." ”
"Huh? Governor, leave now? Mu Wan was suddenly surprised.
Zhi Zhao nodded affirmatively, hugged his fist at Liu Wangping and said: "Liu Assassin History, Zunfu was assassinated, Ben Shuai really can't let go, don't let go, wait for the matter of Baode County, and then come to Hequ." "Anyway, bypassing the long case, the stride meteor went out like a whirlwind.
Looking at the back of Zhe Zhao leaving in a hurry, Liu Wangping couldn't help but sigh, and secretly thought: To be able to make the Governor of Zhe so concerned, this Cui Wenqing is really a god!
The morning glow was full of sky, the morning breeze was warm, Cui Wenqing got up and moved his body in the courtyard for a while, and then began to deal with the official business piled up by Baode County.
Yesterday was attacked and killed by assassins, and martial law was already under martial law inside and outside the county office.
Tong Qing organized all the officials in the county government to guard every key position to ensure Cui Wenqing's safety.
And Ning Zhen is waiting around Cui Wenqing all the time, and it can be said that she will never leave.
In terms of Cui Wenqing's complaint to Su Shi, he would really follow him when he went to the toilet, although it was still through the curtain, but it still made Master Cui feel quite uncomfortable when he peed.
In addition to the strict control in the county office, the entire Baode County is also under martial law.
All the martial marquis went to the streets to inspect and investigate, and the city gate guarded by the Xiang army was very carefully checked, especially for those unknown people, if there was no clear way, these people were not allowed to enter the city at all.
In the afternoon, groups of people suddenly gathered from all directions, just like black clouds approaching the city gate.
These people, all carrying farm tools, walked through the fields and meadows like a tide, and soon gathered into a stream of people, like a black cloud destroying the city.
Seeing this, the little colonel guarding the city gate was shocked, and at the same time as the county government was sent to the county government, he hurriedly closed the city gate, and organized dozens of troops to go up to the city tower, draw bows and arrows, and be on strict alert.
After a while, the flow of people gradually gathered under the city gate, and it was noisy and boiling, almost obliterating all the sounds in the sky.
Looking at the crowd of black pressure below, Colonel Xiang Jun sweated on his forehead, and tried to raise his voice and tore open his throat and asked: "Dare to ask all the fathers and fellow villagers, why are you blocking the city gate?" ”
The words fell halfway, and a graceful woman walked out, wearing a pale green skirt just like a touch of spring on the field, and her ordinary appearance still couldn't stop the heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
The woman walked to the city gate and saluted the city tower, although her voice was neither high nor low, but it had a penetrating power, and clear words were transmitted to the city tower word by word: "Baode County ignores the suffering of the peasants and forces the people resettled in other places to stay in Suizhou, the peasants are indignant and excited, and now Lu Ruoxuan, the head of the Lu clan, led more than 15,000 people to Baode County to hand over the peasants to protest. ”
"What? Jiaonong? The soldiers on the castle tower looked at each other, and they all realized the seriousness of the problem.
The so-called handover of peasants refers to the peasants gathering together to hand over agricultural tools in order to resist the tyranny of the government, as a sign of dissatisfaction with the court or their parents.
If a large number of peasants are handed over to the peasants, it will be tantamount to shaking the foundation of the imperial court's rule in the local area, so the peasants will not be easily activated, but if they are enabled, it means that something big has happened.
When Lu Ruoxuan's words fell, several old men who looked like elders raised their arms and roared: "Fathers and fellow villagers, hand over the farmer!" ”
Sure enough, when the people heard the noise, they all threw their farm tools in front of the city gate, and soon a mountain of farm tools was piled up in front of the city gate, almost blocking the entire city gate.
At this time, Cui Wenqing and Su Shi hurried to the city tower, and when they saw the situation outside the city, Cui Wenqing naturally changed color, and asked the little school: "What happened outside the city?" Why do you gather with so many farmers? ”
Colonel Xiangjun was already sweating profusely in a hurry, and arched his hand: "Master Cui, these people who have been resettled in other places have all come to the city gate to come to the foreign farmers, and the general will not be able to dissuade them, and the current situation is a little out of control." ”
Hearing this, Su Shi frowned deeply, and said: "Brother Wenqing, it is not a trivial matter for farmers to hand over farmers, if it is caused by the imperial court, the faces of the officials and the ministers are very unsightly, so we have to deal with it carefully." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded, and asked again: "Do you know who organized Jiaonong this time?" ”
Junior Colonel Xiang Jun replied, "It seems to be Lu Ruoxuan, the patriarch of the Jiangdong Lu clan. ”
"This stinky little lady is really shameless!" Annoyed, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but curse, hurriedly walked to the battlement of the city tower, and said loudly: "This official is the inspector of the school to appease Cui Wenqing, where is Lu Ruoxuan, come out and reply quickly!" ”
Hearing Cui Wenqing's tone, Lu Ruoxuan knew that she had completely annoyed the minister, but for the sake of her brother's condition, she couldn't allow her to back down, stepped forward and walked out of the crowd, and saluted: "The little girl is here, dare to ask Master Cui for any advice?!" ”
Staring at the green figure under the city tower, Cui Wenqing's eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Patriarch Lu, could it be that this is your method of dealing with me?" ”
Lu Ruoxuan bowed apologetically, and said in a light tone: "The little woman has to be in love, please forgive me." ”
"Huh?! Do you have to do it?! Cui Wenqing's voice was high-pitched and sharp, and the questioning voice smashed towards Lu Ruoxuan like thunderbolt, "You have to behave in love, that is, to bewitch these people who don't know the truth, come to the county town to gather all the people in chaos, and even mobilize them to hand over the farmers?" Lu Ruoxuan, Lu Ruoxuan, originally I respected you as a woman, and women were not allowed to shave their eyebrows, but I didn't expect you to use such a method, which is really despicable and shameful! ”
Hearing these words, Lu Ruoxuan's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and her breathing couldn't help but become short, but for her younger brother, she could only sigh a few times to try to calm her mood, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Cui, we are originally the people of Jiangnan Road, and we really don't like the climate and customs of Xuzhou, so we want to return to Jiangnan Road to live. ”
Cui Wenqing replied with a sneer: "Lu Ruoxuan, the official has made it very clear, the people will leave if they want to, and the official will not force him to stay." ”
Lu Ruoxuan sighed lightly: "My lord, the people don't even have a tangle on the road, how can they return to Jiangnan?" Therefore, although you agree, you are actually forcing the people to die! ”
