Yang Yi glanced at Dong Yuan suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "When did I turn the people away, regardless of their life and death?" ”

Dong Yuan seemed to be a little excited, and took a step forward, Tie Niu thought that he was going to attack, so he also took a step forward to block Yang Yi.

However, Dong Yuan did not go any further, but stared at Yang Yi, and said with some excitement: "Now thousands of people on Daque Mountain outside Mianzhou Mansion are suffering from hunger, sickness and cold, but you ignore them and drive them to the mountains, what is the difference between this move and those tyrants and dumb officials!" ”

Yang Yi frowned and condensed: "Daque Mountain? ”

Daque Mountain is a huge evidence to block Shuzhong and the outside world, stretching for thousands of miles, not only the mountain is dangerous, the forest is thick, but also the beasts and poisonous insects, the miasma is as much as a cow's hair, even the most experienced old hunters in Shu do not dare to easily step into the Daque Mountain.

The Daque Mountain Range is a real primeval forest, in the eyes of the people of Shuzhong, it is hell, a forbidden place for all human beings, so it is possible that thousands of people will run to the Daque Mountain?

Yang Yi glanced at Dong Yuan, and suddenly remembered what Dong Yuan had just said, and Dong Yuan was not from Shuzhong, and said with some surprise: "The people you said crossed Daque Mountain and entered Shuzhong?" ”

When Dong Yuan heard this, he seemed to be a little sad and angry: "Half a year ago, we heard that the king of Daguang Shu was benevolent in Shuzhong, treated the people well, and in desperation, he had to cross the Daque Mountain in the general demon domain, traveled thousands of miles, and came here after a lot of hardships, but I didn't want to be rejected by you who did not accept the will of non-Shu refugees, and now those people can only die of hunger and cold." ”

After a pause, Dong Yuan's eyes were already bloodshot, and he glared at Yang Yi and said, "That's a living human life, how can you bear to see them suffer so much?" How can you bear it? ”

Yang Yi frowned, turned around to look at the Mianzhou Army officer standing under the high platform, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The officer of the Mianzhou Army paused for a moment and replied: "Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the case, more than a month ago, many refugees from Qianzhou Mansion suddenly came out of Daque Mountain, and we got the order of Lord Assassin Shi Zhao to drive those refugees back to Daque Mountain. ”

Yang Yi nodded, frowned and thought for a moment, then turned back to Dong Yuan and smiled: "Do you want to save those refugees?" ”

Dong Yuan stared at Yang Yi and did not speak.

Yang Yi smiled again: "If you have the guts, come with me." ”

Immediately, Yang Yi no longer paid attention to Dong Yuan, turned around and walked off the high platform, and said to the officer of the Mianzhou Army: "Lead the way in front and go to the Mianzhou Thorn Mansion." ”

The officer got the order and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to escort Yang Yi out of the post office.

Tie Niu and Monkey Jian'er glanced at Dong Yuan, who was standing alone on the high platform, and also smiled and ignored him, turned around and followed Yang Yi out.

Dong Yuan stood in place a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Yang Yi to arrest him, but thinking of what Yang Yi said when he left, Dong Yuan gritted his teeth, his heart was ruthless, and he hurriedly followed, he wanted to see what kind of medicine Yang Yi was selling in the gourd.

Under the escort of the Mianzhou army, Yang Yi and the others walked quickly, through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the Mianzhou Thorn Mansion.

However, just halfway through, a large group of people in front of them greeted them, and it turned out to be Zhao Xiu, the assassin of Mianzhou, who heard the news, and a number of officials from Mianzhou Mansion rushed to greet them.

After a simple salute, Yang Yi saw that this was not the place to speak, so he ordered everyone to go straight to the Thorn History Mansion.

Entering the meeting hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Yang Yi sat on the top seat, and the officials and generals of the Mianzhou Mansion below sat down.

Zhao Xiu, who was at the head of the head, saw everyone sitting down, got up and bowed: "Your Highness is coming to Mianzhou Mansion, and the lower officials are late to greet you, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive your sins." ”

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Lord Zhao is serious, this king is just passing by here, casually strolling, I don't want to disturb, who hasn't thought that I have encountered some small things." ”

Zhao Xiu had already learned about what happened in the post hall along the way, and his face was a little unnatural: "The lower officials are not strictly controlled, so that the thieves have frightened His Royal Highness, and the lower officials must strictly investigate and deal with them." ”

Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "Lord Zhao doesn't need to be like this, it's just a little thing, it's not enough to worry about, and the efficiency of Mianzhou Mansion is still worth affirming." ”

Fang just started from Dong Yuan's big trouble in the post office, whether it was the official or the patrol soldier, they all rushed to the scene of the crime in a short time, if it weren't for Dong Yuan's martial arts too high, the general thief would have been arrested long ago.

Yang Yi paused for a moment, and then asked, "Does Lord Zhao know about the refugees in Qianzhou?" ”

Zhao Xiu was not panicked, and as soon as he arched his hand, he replied slowly: "The lower official knows that more than a month ago, some refugees from unknown places began to pour out of the Daque Mountain, and the number was small at first, so the lower official also ordered these refugees to be put into the yamen. Later, however, more and more refugees came out of the mountains, and the number was as high as thousands, and most of them were famine-faced, and even plague-ridden.

The lower officials did not dare to make their own decisions, so they immediately drove the refugees back to the mountains, and at the same time reported the situation here to the Chengdu Prefecture Government. ”

Zhao Xiu is over fifty years old, has been an official in Shuzhong for many years, and Tao Yong was already Sima of Mianzhou Prefecture when he was in power. This person is a relatively mediocre official, does not covet wealth and power, does not pursue merit and political career too much, does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and belongs to a very conservative old-school official.

In dealing with the refugees in Qianzhou, Zhao Xiu also used an ambiguous method and threw the decision of the matter to the Chengzhou Mansion, even if Yang Yi was not satisfied with his handling method, he couldn't find any reason to be held accountable.

Yang Yi nodded, and did not jump to conclusions, and asked, "Lord Zhao, can you find out why there are so many refugees in Qianzhou?" ”

Zhao Xiu replied: "Back to Your Highness, Xia Guan has also heard a little, this matter should be caused by the immortal sect of Qianzhou Mansion to destroy Qianzhou. ”

"Immortality?" Yang Yi frowned, as soon as he heard this name, he knew that this sect was not a good thing, generally speaking, as long as there was the word "immortal", it would basically be full of fraud.

I only heard Zhao Xiu explain: "The Immortal Sect originated more than a hundred years ago, it was founded by alchemists, and the doctrine believes in peace and immortality. Originally, this religion has been tepid among the many sects in Daguang, and it is extremely difficult to survive in the Central Plains, but later its religion gradually shifted its focus to the barren south of Daguang, but because of the blessing of misfortune, the number of sects has increased exponentially.

Qianzhou Mansion is the most prosperous area of the Immortal Religion, when it was the most prosperous, seven out of ten households in Qianzhou Mansion believed in its religion, and there were more than 300,000 sects, including many officials and generals in Qianzhou Prefecture, who were also their believers.

Therefore, the forces of the Immortal Sect gradually began to affect the political situation and the army of Qianzhou Mansion, until the death of the emperor a few years ago, the world was in chaos, and the Immortal Sect was even more unscrupulous. ”
