Chapter 82: Engong's Thoughts
"Stop!"
Hearing this rather majestic and neutral voice, the official's face froze, and he turned around in some horror. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Smack!"
As soon as he turned around, he was unsteady by a loud slap, and the hot pain made him angry, and he glared back at the visitor.
"Boom!"
Before he could react, he was knocked down by the master next to Deng Ai, and his forehead came into close contact with the hard slate, and there was a heart-rending pain.
"Little Captain, dare to despise my hussar general, blind your dog's eyes!"
The lieutenant struggled to get up, still staring at Deng Ai very fiercely, Deng Zhong was angry, and was about to pull out his waist knife, but was stopped by Deng Ai, and said calmly:
"Don't be impulsive, ask the reason before making a decision, hurting people privately is a violation of the law, and the crime is added to one degree!"
"General, you should be merciful and tell that Your Majesty, we really have no way to live!"
The leader peasant man had good eyesight, and knew that Deng Ai was not small, so he hurriedly knelt down and begged bitterly, and the others also fell to their knees in an uproar when they saw this, wailing all over the ground.
"Help!"
“……”
Seeing this plot, although Deng Ai knew it in his heart, his face still pretended not to know, but the tragic situation of the few people who fell to the ground and did not look at it still made him feel very unbearable, so he hurriedly pulled everyone up, and only after comforting him did he turn around and ask coldly:
"What's going on? The collection of grain and herbs is a matter of the imperial court, why did such a dispute arise and lead to casualties? Is there no royal law? ”
Du Wei also knew Deng Ai's origins, but speaking of which, he was a soldier under the account of the Great Sima Zhonghui, and he didn't have much fear of the former, so he just said calmly:
"On the orders of the Great Sima, I will supervise the collection of grain and grass, and if I refuse to pay or even stubbornly resist, I have the right to make a decision! This is a major national matter, and I am also under orders, but the general is obstructing it, and the last general will truthfully report today's events, and ask the court to cut it! ”
The meaning of the words was to sue Deng Ai who had beaten him, and his words were quite arrogant, and he obviously had to explain, so he was calm.
This plan was dedicated to Zhong Hui by Wei Qianjin, in order to prevent Deng Ai from interfering, not to mention arousing public resentment, if Deng Ai spoke or acted arbitrarily to obstruct it, it would be tantamount to offending Zhong Hui, and the two would be separated from morality, and the remnants of Wei would become weaker again.
Although Deng Ai guessed what Zhong Hui meant, he didn't expect that he would dare not argue with him, but Zhong Hui never understood Deng Ai's character, only to see his sword eyebrows raised, and his starry eyes burst out with a fierce light, which was terrifying.
"Come on, take down this thing that cares about people's lives and vain the people's officials, and after the trial is clear, if there is a crime of murder, behead!"
Then two tiger and wolf guards stepped forward to stand up to this big man, and the big man's strength was not weak, and he struggled desperately and shouted:
"Deng Ai, I am Da Sima's person, if you dare to kill me, you will die in the future!"
Seeing that the man was taken away, still roaring unwillingly, Deng Ai smiled coldly and said:
"Ben will only know how to be an official for the people, and he doesn't know who to do for him, and no one can do this when this happens!"
Then he looked at the group of people who were looking at him gratefully, and suddenly a sadness appeared on his face, and then he turned back and ordered:
"The governor of Liangzhou has decreed: The people under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou will be taxed according to five taxes and one tax during the war, but those who levy more will be refunded in full, and those who cause life here will be arrested and brought to justice, and those who are found to have exploited the people will be killed!"
These murderous words made the stunned county soldiers around them tremble, especially the dogs who were vying for meritorious service, and their feet trembled, and someone's crotch began to get wet, and there was a fishy smell, which made the people around him panic and stunned.
On the contrary, the people who were determined to die fell down and cried out as if from hell to heaven:
"Thank you, General, thank you, Engong......"
"Thank you, good man......"
Seeing these people's true feelings revealed, Rao is Deng Ai has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and has cultivated a heart of iron and stone, and he was also deeply touched, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but start to moisten.
He Deng Ai came from an ordinary people's family, and lived a hard life since he was a child, especially after experiencing a war-torn childhood, he knew that food was important to the people, and at this time, even if there was no plan, he would take action.
Deng Ai's order, which was very different from the imperial court's order, although many counties and counties were stunned, but when the incident in Lintao came out, especially after Deng Ai personally presided over the killing of the captain, many frightened captains hurriedly wrote to Zhong Hui, saying that Deng Ai's rebellious act hoped to uphold justice for himself!
These lieutenants are all under the account of Zhong Hui, and they have always carried out Zhong Hui's words firmly, and everyone who thinks they are acting under orders can't help but think about their sins.
This tax is too much, so that all over Liangzhou have resistance, and the people who received Zhong Hui's iron-blooded order from the battlefield will naturally not be polite, so Deng Ai took this hand, and actually captured nearly 100 criminals, and together with the tiger head knife, dozens of people who committed the most heinous crimes were cut to death.
Suddenly, Deng Ai rescued hundreds of people in Liangzhou, and the call of "Engong" spread farther and farther, and the benevolent heart and the act of protecting the people swept away, and the prestige was so great that it completely covered the great Sima of Wei, not to mention the puppet Cao Huan.
At this moment, Zhong Hui, who was still excited to be able to immediately cross the knife and point to the country, was suddenly startled, and looked at the stack of books in front of him.
Some people directly complained about his bad intentions, while some people told Deng Ai that he ordered dozens of people to be killed, and the content of his words made Zhong Hui shudder.
He originally planned to wave Chang'an first, and then come back to clean up Deng Ai, even if he couldn't erase it, he would cut off his wings and make it a non-threatening existence.
But Deng Ai's behavior caught him off guard, not only did the military rations fail to be raised as scheduled, according to the secret agent, most of the people are now belittled by Deng, which makes Zhong Hui, who has always regarded himself as the pillar of the court and the savior of the world, feel that his reputation has been damaged.
"Your Majesty, this Deng Ai has ill intentions and obstructs His Majesty's plan to rebel, it is really an unforgivable crime, I beg Your Majesty to cut off his knighthood, I will definitely arrest that guy in front of His Majesty's hall and let him kowtow and admit his mistake!"
Zhong Hui has always been reluctant to deal with Deng Ai before, in addition to being afraid and unwilling to kill each other, but Deng Ai's trip really made him unbearable.
Deng Ai not only returned the over-collected taxes, but also left most of them as food for his own army, and only a small part fell into the hands of Zhong Hui, seeing that hundreds of thousands of troops were about to run out of food, Zhong Hui, who had heard about the food shortage since ancient times, was also angry, and was bound to get rid of this ill-intentioned person.
"Your Majesty, no! A few days ago, the old minister said that the five taxes and three were too tyrannical, and the people were separated from Deshan, but the disputes and conflicts continued.
Now even if General Deng is popular with the people, if the great Sima Xing army crusades, the people of Liangzhou are brave, if he sincerely helps Deng Ai, we are in danger! ”
Wei Qian on the side also hurriedly helped:
"What the prime minister said is reasonable, we must not lose the big because of the small, the way to the rebellion still needs grain and grass equipment, without the support of the people, it is really difficult!"
Zhong Hui on the side was reluctant, Wei Qian had always been on the same list with him, but now he was on Liu Wei's side, which made Zhong Hui feel that he was wrong, but he was a proud person and would not admit his mistakes.
"Why, at this time, you are all worried about the country and the people? Don't forget that my army of more than 100,000 is about to run out of food, and without an army, what can I do to keep me safe, and what to use to restore Sheji? ”
Cao Huan was also quite hesitant, glanced at both sides, and hesitated:
"This ......"
