Chapter 281: Grief
The county guarded the mansion, He Du paced with his hands behind his back, fidgeting, and his anger caused thousands of people to die, even if he didn't leave the mansion, but the smell of blood in the air had stimulated him.
"My lord, now most of the refugees have been driven out of Xiangcheng, and the rest of the hiding ones are searched by the yacha, the catcher, and the patrol guards, and the lower officials estimate that at most, they can drive these moths out of Xiangcheng in one day at most..."
"I don't want to do that, but those refugees really don't open their eyes... In this way, you take someone to collect the decapitated body, let the queen pull it to the east of the city to bury it in Sanmiao Mountain, remember to find a Taoist priest and monk to cross over! β
"The subordinate obeys!"
An Long was also ordered to leave, and Xu Qiuran hurried in: "My lord, Lin Xiu of the Bei'an Army has entered the city and wants to meet you!" β
"What? He didn't stop in Nanpi County, why did he come here suddenly? He Du was so upset that he didn't want to see this young junior at all.
"My lord, I'm afraid I can't see it, when I entered the city, the little school blocked me and was knocked over by him with a whip, that momentum is shocking!"
When the words fell, another county soldier rushed in: "My lord, the Bei'an army has arrived in front of the mansion!" β
"My lord, see me, I won't see you now, it will be difficult to speak in the future!"
Xu Qiuran comforted, seeing that he really couldn't hide, He Du said: "That's it, let him wait in the side hall!" β
"Brother Guan, I want to ask, I heard that there was a civil unrest in Xiangcheng today, what is going on?" Lin Xiu deliberately accosted, but the little official shouldn't have it at all, Lin Xiu asked a lot, and the little official gave up his hand and said: "General, the weather is dry and hot right now, the villain will bring you a cup of tea to moisten your throat!" β
Seeing the meaning of the little official's evasion, Lin Xiu didn't want to force it, and while waiting, Fang Hua came in and whispered in his ear: "General, an hour ago, the Xiangcheng officials expelled the refugees, and I heard that some people who caused chaos had been beheaded, and hundreds of corpses were dragged by ox carts and went out from the north gate..."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but be angry, and immediately slapped on the table, due to the full force, the corner of the table was directly cracked, and this scene happened to be seen by He Du, who came in.
"General Lin, what's wrong? How to vent the tables and chairs of my county government? β
Laughing and asking, Lin Xiu took a breath of relief, and arched his hand: "Fang Cai was going to hear some bad news, so he was irritable and didn't control it, Lord County Guard, please forgive me for the offense!" β
"Forgive me for not daring, you are the commander of the Bei'an Army, and this mansion is just a local county guard, compared with each other, the two are just equal to each other!"
He Du sat down, his proud and majestic posture made Lin Xiu frown, the two sat opposite each other, silent for a while, Xu Qiuran said: "General Lin, I heard that you have gathered more than 100,000 people, and you are coming from the border, can this trip be smooth?" Is there any request for help when I meet the adults this time? Just say it, and we'll do it! β
"Shundang didn't dare to talk about it, at most there was no civil unrest!" Lin Xiu's hard voice made He Du raise his eyebrows and be displeased, but He Du is a senior official and has good self-control ability, he took a sip of tea from his cup, and replied: "General Lin, why are you here?" The official knows it in his heart, but what is the situation in northern Xinjiang? You also know that at present, the cultivation of the barley tax system in the Xiangcheng territory is seventy percent implemented, and in addition, some counties and townships have no tax revenue, and this official has to worry about the hundreds of thousands of people in the Xiangcheng territory, and he is no longer able to take care of it..."
Although the words are vague, He Du's reluctance to meddle in the refugee team has been revealed, this is the opposite of Xu Qiuran, and it is really hypocritical to play, if there is no refugee rebellion in Xiangcheng, Lin Xiu will not deliberately ask for anything, but the bloody matter is in front of him, so how can the resolute Lin Xiu endure it.
"My lord, what is the basis of the country?"
Cold, Lin Xiu asked this, He Du frowned, the hand holding the cup was also hard in the air, after a little thought, He Du did not reply, he got up and said: "General Lin, I heard that you have some relationship with the daughter of the younger generation of your clan..."
"What?" Lin Xiu didn't know what he was saying, his heart was a little confused, He Du smiled: "The younger brother of this official, He Ji's daughter He Tong has some communication with you, and the general is young and talented, if the general has a heart, this official can involve you one or two!" β
"Lord He, the official road and military affairs are foreign affairs, how can it involve the children of the clan!" shouted angrily, so that He Du could no longer grasp his heart: "Lin Xiu, how dare you talk to this official like this?" β
"What did you do, I don't know what I did?" Lin Xiu's heart exploded, Liu Pan and Fang Hua couldn't stop it, the soldiers outside the hall rushed in when they heard the sound, Liu Pan and Fang Hua looked at it, and said angrily: "You dare to be presumptuous!" β
Lin Xiu was angry and glared at him, and said bluntly: "The joint order of the four cities, it is just that the officials and other officials do not benefit the people, why do you order to drive and slaughter those people, is their life to belong to the livestock!" β
"Lin Zhongyi, this official respects you as a talented soldier in the Northern Xinjiang Army, so he met you, if you say good things, this official will immediately allocate 10,000 stone of grain and gather people with you to eat, otherwise, you will immediately get out of Xiangcheng for this official!"
"You dare!"
The roar suppressed the roar, the anger to the anger, and under the confrontation, He Ji and Ling Tong came to the mansion to restore their lives, and when they heard that Bei'an would be angry and guarded, the two immediately led troops to stop it.
"You... You guys...."
In the face of He Du and other official coercion, Lin Xiu hated and had no tears, he couldn't understand why the world was so chaotic, why the official and civilian classes were so far apart, could it be that the ancient remarks taught by Yang Mao's master were all wrong? Unable to understand, Lin Xiu clenched his steel teeth and wanted to refute, but it was also thanks to Liu Pan and Fang Hua who desperately pressed Lin Xiu that he didn't let him draw a knife to do the top.
"Lin Xiu, this official now orders you to leave Xiangcheng immediately... As for your refugee team, go on your own! β
After He Du reprimanded, he turned around and left, Lin Xiu wanted to say more, He Ji stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, don't talk nonsense, otherwise it won't be good for you!" β
The naked persecution made Lin Xiu completely realize the arrogance and darkness of the official career, and for a while, Lin Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "You people... unworthy of a position..."
In this regard, He Ji, Ling Tong and others should not be at all, in their eyes, Lin Xiukong has a talent and martial arts, but his dull and naΓ―ve ideas are like a shell in a dung pit, which will only make people disgusted.
Leaving the county guard's mansion, Lin Xiu looked at the deserted street, he wanted to cry, cry about those sad lives, cry about the injustice of God, behind him, Liu Pan said: "General, let's go!" If these officials repent of their black hands, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the city! β
As a result, Fang Hua said another word: "General, the injustice of the world is all due to the actions of those in power, you are the general of Bei'an, as long as you climb to the highest place in Northern Xinjiang, in the future, all this will be changed by you, won't you find a way to survive for the poor?" β
County Shoufu, He Du returned to his study, due to the suffocation of the nest, he smashed the ink table on the desk out, in front of the door, He Ji raised his arm to resist, but was splashed with black ink, in desperation, He Ji closed the door and said: "Big brother, you have done a little too much!" β
