August day, in the later life is the height of summer, but in the Xiaoice River period of the Great Song Dynasty, it is already an autumn tiger, the last heat of the earth is radiating, and soon the weather will turn cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially for the northern region, both the rich and the miserable must be like ants, and now they start to prepare for the "coming winter", which will really freeze to death one by one.

Fortunately, the city is okay, as long as there is still some ability, even if it is a corrupt official, he will try his best to allocate some charcoal to help the poor and prevent them from freezing to death. Without him, corrupt officials don't care about their lives or deaths, but if there are too many dead people, there will be no political achievements, and these officials will be criticized by Uncle Zhang at night. This is the role of a good prime minister, officials really don't have good things, but many times, the prime minister determines the ideas and actions of officials in the world.

For example, they are saying that the Song people are cowardly, and Hanwa will not fight, but that is, once Yue Fei becomes the main general, Hanwa will also be shaped in cowardice, and no one can question the combat power of the Yue family army throughout the ages. So the "big brother who takes the lead" is really important, he can decide the soul of a unit like an army.

Far from it.

It is said that the autumn harvest is nearing the end, and Gao Lian is busy directing various matters, and by the way, he takes the thugs to help the emperor collect protection money. Gao Tang is not a big harvest this year, but the grain output is slightly better than last year, so Gao Lian is very happy, watching the truckload of grain moved into the county government's treasury, he feels more down-to-earth than ever.

The so-called east is not bright and the west is bright, in fact, people walk in the world that are not stabbed, and moths should be available at any time, which is the norm. However, Gao Tang seems to be in a good situation now, everyone is happy, the Chai family is also unusually low-key, and there is almost no news of them in the market, all of which makes Gao Fangping, a treacherous conspiracy theorist, very unaccustomed to it, and always feels that this is the calm before the storm.

As a shark, Gao Fangping treats people with the heart of a villain, and does not believe that there are too many good people in the world. Gao Fangping was stunned and did not return to Yuncheng to preside over the autumn harvest and autumn tax.

"I'm going to wait here like a poisonous snake for the Chai family to make trouble, and then bite them to death. This Gao Tang doesn't come, since he came, seeing that the Gao family is in danger and Gao Lian doesn't know anything, I just can't understand my thoughts. Gao Fangping muttered to himself in the room.

Liang Hongying sighed, touched his skull, and persuaded him not to be so angry, not to be so insidious.

Gao Xiuqing's eyes were red when she heard this, and she felt that this grandson was a good man who was very affectionate and took care of his family. The aunt and grandmother wishfully believe that Xiao Gao is complaining about his own affairs, and then retaliates against the Chai family for using his power.

Gao Xiuqing took Gao Fangping's hand, put it on her heart, and said movingly: "The only one who knows my heart is his eldest grandson, what you have done, my aunt and grandmother will remember it in my heart for a lifetime." ”

"Auntie, don't make a mess, go and rest, Abu's child is still young, you can't sleep without her." Gao Fangping pulled his hand back in embarrassment.

Then she was driven away by Sister Liang......

Almost Gao Fangping also washed and slept. Liang Hongying always sat in the room, with the lights on, until late at night.

During this process, the plainclothes sergeants of the Tiger Head Battalion came to report: everything is as usual.

These people were all separated to collect information from all over the city and spy on the Chai family.

Everything was as usual, which made Liang Hongying frown. After following Xiao Gao for a long time, she has also become a conspiracy theorist. She stubbornly thinks that if Xiao Gao Xianggong said that there is a problem, then there must be a real problem, but she can't find the problem for a while, which inevitably makes people anxious......

There was a knock on the door late at night, and Han Shizhong's voice said outside: "There is something important, wake up Xiao Gao Xianggong." ”

Liang Hongying said in the room: "Be quieter, come in and tell me, let him sleep more." ”

Han Shizhong outside had a black line on his face, thinking: It's okay for a girl to give birth to a baby full-time, what is the big thing to interfere with, I won't tell you.

So Xiao Han didn't say anything obscenely, and always asked to wake up Gao Fangping.

"Grandma Hui Yuncheng will beat your master to death, you should be careful." After Liang Hongying was angry and threatened, she woke up Gao Fangping.

"The last general, Han Shizhong, see Xianggong." Han Shizhong is the most obscene person in the Yongle Army, and he is also the one who does the most superficial work. His master Lin Chong is really the opposite of him everywhere, for the sake of this kid, a master like Lin Chong has really been beaten by a tough girl.

Gao Fangping straightened his hat and said: "You'd better have dry goods, if you dare to give me nonsense in the middle of the night, I'll teach you to be a man, get up, sit down and say." ”

Han Shizhong got up and sat down and went straight to the point: "I mixed in with them in disguise and found something unusual. At present, the mood of the fugitives is very unstable, there are calls to scold the government and the emperor, and there are rumors everywhere that the land of Yanyun is a paradise for the Han people, the Liao State treats the Han people preferentially, and the government is clean and honest. ”

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes, Shaoqing got up and took steps with his hands behind his back, and muttered, "It looks like something is going to happen." But I can't find the problem, it's not strange to scold the government and the emperor, there are all dynasties and generations, and the people in the city who have a better life than them also scold, so this seems to be a problem, but it is the norm. ”

Han Shizhong said: "In order not to startle the snake, there is no excessive interference and probing under the mark, because my Guanzhong accent and it is difficult to explain why I came here to escape in a short time." So I just kept watching, and at some point I noticed that something was wrong, that there were some people like me mixed up in the runaways? ”

Gao Fangping said: "What do you mean?" ”

Han Shizhong nodded and said, "Yes, it is obvious that those people who have a heart are not fleeing, but pretending to be fleeing." Look at the way they walk, the posture they sit, that is, the moment they lie down, and the stick is also placed in the most convenient position to pick up at the first time, they are people with martial arts foundation, and this kind of person is the least likely to be a runaway, and will become the dog-legged family of the powerful families, or become a ranger, or fall into the grass. ”

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the approximate number of such people?" ”

Han Shizhong shook his head and said, "I don't know at the moment, there should be a lot." In addition, the group of fugitives in Gaotang is different from Yuncheng, the concentration is not large, a group in the east and a cluster in the west, and the number of fugitives is initially estimated to be more than 1,000 from the news summary of the brothers in the Hutou Battalion scattered out. The group I surveyed was the largest group, numbering about six or seven hundred. ”

Gao Fangping's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and murmured: "Three people become tigers, winter is coming." Gao Lian dares to do porcelain work without diamonds? At any time, those who have nothing to eat are unreasonable, and they just disperse. But gathering together, and he is cheap and has no ability to strictly control it, and let it gather around the county seat, this is the way to die, once it is deliberately guided and brought up by the rhythm, it does not need to incite people to be too brainy, and it can cause a big disaster! ”

As he spoke, Gao Fangping patted the case and got up, with a blue face!

Liang Hongying was stunned when she heard it, thinking about it makes sense, and then she understood why Gao Fangping was so desperate to strictly control public opinion in Yuncheng at that time, when nearly 4,000 fugitives outside the city gathered, even if the little girl said the wrong word, she would be whipped, especially for stealing and robbing, and once the behavior of subverting the order appeared, it would be immediately decided.

Now that I think about it, Liang Hongying feels cold in her heart, to say that there were no Liangshan spies among the thousands of escapees at that time, it is really impossible to say, once you can't control the rhythm and order, it will really be a catastrophe. Thousands of fugitives did not have the reverence for the laws of imperial power in their hearts, and were led to attack the county seat, which was the rhythm of tens of thousands of people to die.

At this point, Han Shizhong was stunned and said: "Saying that Gao Lian did not act, the minister misunderstood, in fact, your brother Gao Lian was also trying to disperse the fugitives, and also sent people to chase and kill, I saw with my own eyes that there were people who went to whip, trying to disperse the fugitives, and then used a knife in the friction, killed a fugitive, and cut more than ten people." ”

Gao Fangping changed his color and said: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"Yes, the reason is that they illegally gathered people and flouted the imperial power." Han Shizhong said.

Gao Fangping got up sharply and said, "Oops, something is really going to happen, come with me and go to Gao Lian to confront him." I don't believe he'd do that, but I'm asking for proof. ”

So Liang Hongying and Han Shizhong followed.

"Gao Lian, you come out for me!"

Gao Fangping knocked on the door outside in the middle of the night, and the sister-in-law's frightened voice came out, as if complaining about her husband: "Look at the good things you did, tell you not to offend your uncle, he is angry, and now he is guilty." ”

Soon after, the door opened. Gao Liantie blushed and said, "Is your brain in water?" ”

Gao Fangping shook his head and said, "Have you sent someone to clear and disperse the fugitives outside the city?" ”

Gao Lian couldn't help but pout, shook his head and said, "I don't know, is there such a thing?" ”

"It's true, Han Shizhong, a subordinate of my Yongle Army, saw it with his own eyes, and he killed someone." Gao Fangping Road.

Gao Lian frowned, and then said, "Come with me, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Fortunately, he is still diligent and is not in a hurry to go to sleep.

went to the study and sat down, and said cheaply: "Brother Wei knows that you have always been worried about running away, this kind of kindness is the first to come from Yuncheng, and Brother Wei is emulating you to put it bluntly." I haven't given the order, but it is the law of the country to clear the fugitive households, and some county officials do not understand the policy of their own officials for a while, and if they go to implement it, it is not wrong, and it can be eliminated in the future, so Fang Ping, you don't have to ask your brother for this late at night. ”

Gao Fangping shook his head and said: "Brother's fallacy, of course, it is the law of the country to clear and flee households, but with skills, they can only be cleared and driven away in peacetime, because at that time they were timid, scattered, unified, and easy to deter. In fact, one of the purposes of the national law to clear the fugitives is to prevent them from gathering together and forming a torrent. That's the bottom line. Therefore, it is okay to settle the payment in normal times, but the ruling is not immutable, once the fugitives have gathered due to some objective reasons, the settlement policy is not applied, because it is to pull hatred, on the contrary, let them communicate with each other and pass on the poisonous idea of 'hating officials and hating the rich'. Therefore, in principle, once the families flee and gather, the first thing is to accept them, and secondly, to strictly control the order, let them know that they are protected by the government, so that they have a sense of belonging and reverence for the law, and not let them further hate the government. It seems to be a trivial matter, but in a practical sense, there is an essential difference. My brother, Gao Tang is going to have an accident, you know? (To be continued.) )
