Chapter Ninety-Two: Saying
In the morning, Jiankang City, on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, is being rebuilt in the ruins of the Bianhuai Liehuan area, and the original rows of mansions and shops have been looted and set on fire by the rebels, and now they have turned into ruins.
Bianhuai Lieshi, which refers to the rows of shops and shops on the side of the Qinhuai River, especially the general name of a series of markets, shops and restaurants on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, which is the most prosperous area of Jiankang City, the distribution center of a large number of materials and commodities, and the place of fun.
Because of the convenience of water transportation, many ships enter the Yangtze River estuary through the Qinhuai River to and from the river and the river, the streets are full of pedestrians on weekdays, and the boats in the river are connected end to end, both water and land are bustling.
Bian Huai not only made a lot of profits for the powerful and tycoons, but also fed a large number of Jiankang people, because most of the residents in the city did not have land and could only rely on selling their labor to earn a meager salary to support their families.
Some people support boats, some people work as coolies, some people help, some people run errands, a large number of ordinary people rely on the Bianhuai column to live, and live in Changganli on the south side of it.
Bian Huai Liexi is being rebuilt, so there are no mansions and shops to open, so naturally there is no business to do, and at this time, there are a large number of officers and soldiers stationed in Changgan, guarding various intersections, prohibiting residents from entering and leaving at will, so there are few people on the streets of Lixiang.
The rebels have now fled out of the city, and the Changganli where they are entrenched has become a hiding place for the remnants, and the government is bound to search for the rebels from house to house, and not only that, but also to recover the property looted by the rebels who looted the Bian Huai Lie.
In order to buy people's hearts, the rebels distributed the looted property to the people in Changganli, and now that the government has put down the rebellion, it is natural to recover the "thieves' stolen goods".
This is a matter of course, many businesses have suffered heavy losses in this chaos, many people have died, people cannot be resurrected, but the looted property can be recovered, if not all of them can be recovered, it is better to recover some than nothing.
The government will not let go of the rebels and the rest of the party who killed people, and those who have taken the stolen goods should hand over their things, but if they really want to do this, it is very likely that they will stir up chaos again.
If the government wants to send troops to search from house to house, and demand that these people hand over the "stolen goods", not to mention how many people will be wronged, it is said that most of the people in Changganli are poor, and if the "stolen goods" on which they depend are taken away, and the family cannot survive, and then they are encouraged to make trouble, it will be a big deal.
However, if the people were allowed to collect "stolen goods" and not hand them over, how could those merchants and officials who suffered huge losses in the rebellion endure this breath, and their residences and properties were plundered by the rebels, and the losses were very heavy.
Not to mention that these people strongly demand that the remnants of the rebels hiding in the people be found out in order to avenge the relatives, clansmen, shopkeepers, and associates who died at the hands of the rebels, but in doing so, with the behavior of the officials, they will definitely take the opportunity to extort ordinary people on the charge of "secretly hiding traitors", and in this way, there will still be accidents.
And the people don't know if the government will liquidate their rebellious behavior, and when the people are panicking, there are rumors spreading everywhere in Changgan, and if they continue like this, there will still be accidents.
People of insight have seen the crisis and have written to the Son of Heaven, hoping that the Son of Heaven will send important ministers to preside over the aftermath, so as not to cause trouble from people with ill intentions, and before that, they will send troops to maintain the existing order in Changganli.
Even if it is surveillance, it also prevents people from going to Changganli to recover stolen goods and seek revenge under various excuses, so it is necessary for the officials and soldiers to maintain order to avoid provoking a popular uprising.
However, if you want to balance the interests of all parties, where is it so easy, the officials who have suffered huge losses, the officials who are worried about provoking the popular uprising, and the officials who have lost their relatives in this turmoil, have been arguing for a long time, and the imperial court has not been able to make a decision.
After the official army put down the rebellion, the rebels fled with their families, and some of the people fled from Jiankang, and the people who stayed behind may have more than a remnant, but most of them were just drifting with the tide before.
When the mutiny broke out, they were also frightened, and later saw that the rebels said that they were going to kill the dog officer, and also distributed money, food, and cloth, so many people joined in, and followed those soldiers to fight against the minions sent by the dog officer.
When the official army put down the rebellion, many people lost the mind of killing the dog officials, but thinking that they did not burn, kill and loot, their home was in Changgan, and they would be helpless when they went elsewhere.
However, the government delayed making a decision, and also sent troops to block various intersections, so that many people living in Changganli gradually became restless, and with the spread of various rumors, everyone gradually felt that their family was about to end.
It is said that the government wants to recover the stolen goods, but the money and food they have allocated have been spent and eaten; It is said that the government wants to arrest the rebels, and many of them follow the rebels to shout slogans, divide money and food, and move things to block the road.
Unease spread in Changganli, and the atmosphere began to become subtle, and at this time, the imperial court took further measures and sent officials to pacify the people in Changganli.
Near noon, a large number of officials and soldiers maintained order in the streets, and many residents walked out of the alleys and came to the streets, gathering on both sides of the Suzaku Royal Road, waiting for the government to give an explanation.
Vermilion Bird Royal Road, starting from the south of Taicheng, to the south through the Vermilion Bird Hang across the Qinhuai River, directly to the Jiankang City outside the Guonan Fence Gate, from Taicheng to the Zhuque Imperial Road section in Changganli, to the people in Changganli to preach the decision of the imperial court, that is, to give an explanation.
There are two big officials, one is Chen Bogu, the king of Xin'an County, and the other is Yuan Xian, a scholar and servant, representing the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, to appease the people in Changganli.
Chen Bogu, the king of Xin'an County, is said to have always been close to the Son of Heaven, and Shang Shufu shot Yuan Xian, and his official reputation was very good.
The two stood on the carriage parked on the royal road, disregarding their personal safety, and preached the decision of the imperial court to the people like frightened birds, Chen Bogu, who was in the prime of life, was the "main speaker", and Yuan Xian, who was gray-haired and over sixty years old, was in charge of supplementing.
The carriage was surrounded by soldiers of the forbidden army, vigilantly looking around to prevent someone from assassinating, and the periphery was full of people surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside, and their eyes were focused on the two people on the carriage.
Even the houses, walls, and trees on the side were crowded with people.
In the face of such a spectacular but hidden scene, Chen Bogu is not stage frightened, he once served as the son of the country to sacrifice wine, and often spoke at length in front of a large number of students, so he spoke in a very orderly manner, in order to avoid the people not understanding, the key was pointed out at the beginning:
"Shengming, the Son of Heaven, knows that everyone is being coerced by traitors, so Ming Gu and Yuan Fu are here to tell everyone a good news: the government only punishes the evildoers, and the accomplices are not prosecuted!"
Afraid that the people would not be able to hear clearly, Chen Bogu also deliberately shouted loudly several times, and it was also thanks to his young and strong confidence that many onlookers could clearly hear what he said.
Knowing that the government "only punishes the evildoers and does not prosecute the accomplices", many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the original nervous mood was alleviated a lot, and more people came to join the onlookers when they heard the news.
Chen Bogu, who was standing in the carriage, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the mood of the people around him had obviously stabilized, he exchanged glances with Yuan Xian, and continued: "So, what kind of person is the first evil? ”
