On the way, Lin Xiu said to You Hui: "Lord You, I see that Ge Bai seems to be very dissatisfied with you, and his words are full of reprimands... Could it be that there is something hidden in this? ”

You Hui smiled bitterly at this: "General Lin, don't you know, he Counselor Ge can't be described as 'dissatisfied' with the lower officials, that is completely bad practice, if it weren't for the lower officials' ability to manage politics, I'm afraid he would have thought of kicking the lower officials away!" ”

Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "How do you say this?" ”

You Hui stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said: "At the beginning, the county guard opened the warehouse to release grain, according to the rule of two dry and one thin, the people of the four fields were very good, but then somehow it became one dry and two thin, sometimes even three thin, according to this, within a few days, the people were complaining, and the lower official felt that something was going to happen, so he ordered to ask for instructions, but Lord Ge scolded the lower official, saying that the implementation of the barley tax system needs grain to grow and store grain, and the county guard is busy with official business, so he will not let him be disturbed, but the lower official only knew, Half of the amount of grain delegated to the warehouse was deducted by the officials and gentry in the county government, and he Ge Bai, as a counselor, did not know whether he touched his subordinates, but he didn't want to offend those people and sat down to watch it, but it was really true, and the lower officials were angry, and wanted to directly ask the county guard, but Ge Bai stopped the lower officials again, and took down the official career in the future oppression..."

Speaking of this, You Hui's eyes widened, and he was very angry: "General Lin, tell me what is going on?" Those officials and masters in Licheng have lost the benefits, and they don't care about the miscellaneous things behind, so it's like we, the low-level errand boys, to the ancestors' house, just ask... The people can't eat enough and can't even save their lives, who will abide by the official decrees, and who will pay taxes for them to farm the land? ”

Angry for a while, You Hui's eyes were slightly red, he reached out and wiped his face, blowing out two thick snots, as for Lin Xiu, he had been listening quietly.

"After this matter, the situation in Donghu County began to be chaotic, Hu Dahai, the leader of the Diao people mentioned by the previous Xiaguan, was originally the regimental training team in the county, after the Northern Barbarian War, the food was compact, this man would rather not eat enough, but also save half a bowl of dry rice for his mother to satisfy hunger, a few days of the root of the year, Donghu County was snowing, I was thinking about giving him more, so that his wife could eat enough, don't starve to death in the cold, the result was very unfortunate, was found by the official sent by Lord Ge to deliver food, the old boy scolded the lower official Xiong, He was also dismissed from Hu Dahai's position as a team leader, and for three days in a row, Hu Dahai did not come to receive two thin and one dry rations, but when they met again, it was the disaster that he led people to storm the government to release grain, and later I found out that his mother was starving to death! ”

In this regard, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't feel good in his heart, but he didn't put everything on the front like before, and finally Lin Xiu said: "Lord You, you don't need to be like this, someone will solve the matter, you will know what to do!" ”

And at this time, Lin Huaiping hurried back, he rode forward, and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, as soon as our people entered Liangzigou, they were discovered by the night patrol!" ”

You Hui was shocked when he heard this: "General Lin, I'll just say, these guys have already regarded the government as an enemy, and they are very well guarded..."

Lin Xiu stabilized the anxious You Hui: "Ben will have his own plans, you don't need to be nervous!" Behind him, Li Hu came up with his long-handled stabbing hammer on his shoulder: "Brother Xiu, it's just a few dozen Diao people, either you and Master You stay here, and I'll take a team of brothers to go back and go!" ”

Lin Xiu glanced at Li Hu: "Look at your appearance, are you going to kill them all?" ”

"Isn't it?" Li Hu disagreed: "They have already killed the official messenger, they are sinners, if we don't kill him, once they are in prison, they will die, besides, isn't it suppression for the county guard to let us come?" ”

Although the words are ugly, it can be said that it is reasonable, but Lin Xiu is far from being a rough man born in Li Hu, a butcher, and he has righteousness in his heart, so after a while, Lin Xiu ordered: "Li Hu, you lead a team of people around, without my loud arrow signal, you are absolutely not allowed to impact, even if you impact, you are not allowed to use a knife!" ”

"Ahh What's that for? ”

"Use your head!" Leaving these words, Lin Xiu took You Hui and Lin Huaiping to Liangzigou, and when Li Hu was stunned on the spot, Cai Qiao, a soldier beside him, said: "Brother Hu, the general doesn't let you use a knife, probably because you don't want to hurt the lives of those people!" ”

"I know, but without a knife, you're really going to do it with your head?"

"Not either!" Cai Qiao smiled, his fat face was a little similar to Li Hu, Cai Qiao raised his hand and pointed to the willow sticks in the fork forest on the side of the road and said: "Use these things, they look thin, but they are very strong, and the general waist knife is constantly chopping!" ”

"That's right!" Li Hu came back to his senses and scolded Cai Qiao with a smile: "You kid looks fat and stupid, but I didn't expect it to be quite shrewd, tell the brothers, all of them have a willow stick in their hands, and go to teach those Diao people a lesson!" ”

Liangzigou, the whole village is about 200 households, at this time, the night patrol brothers have already knocked the gong all over the village, that Hu Dahai also copied the waist knife, shouting and shouting, but half a moment of effort, gathered dozens of village men rushed out, guarded in front of the village entrance with wooden piers, chariots built behind the simple horse rejection pile.

When the cavalry in the distance showed their figures, Hu Dahai shouted, dozens of village men drew horn bows, put on feather arrows, and when those cavalry crossed the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, they ran to a distance of about fifty paces.

It's just that Lin Xiu and the Xiaoqi brothers behind him are all people who roll back and forth in life and death, such an unprepared flat shot is really no threat, after the blink of an eye, there is a muffled sound of 'poof', and if you look closely, those feather arrows either fell to the ground due to lack of strength, or were blocked by the skin shield, and even the slightest hair of the mount was not injured.

However, in order to be sure, Lin Xiu ordered the line to stop at the position of 20 steps at the entrance of the village, and Lin Huaiping immediately dispersed in line to make an impact formation.

Lin Xiu looked around with big eyes, and said to You Hui: "This Hu Dahai's actions can be regarded as a filial son, and now the chaos is nothing more than because the old lady starved to death to vent her resentment, as for the people behind him, they are also willful, the crime is not to death, and it is light to rush to kill, but that is not my intention, in this way, you and the general will go to talk and intersect, if you can appease them, you can appease them, after all, they are all people!" ”

Although You Hui was angry at the behavior of the official master of Licheng, but let him risk his life and talk to Diao Minyan? Almost wanted him half his life, in the face of Lin Xiu's proposal, You Hui swallowed hard and said: "General Lin, although Hu Dahai is a filial son, but his mother died, and he attacked the county government several times, and killed more than a dozen officials, and he has gone crazy if he doesn't make trouble, I'm afraid..."
