Hearing Scar say this, someone immediately asked: "How dare they do this with the court's money?" ”

"Hey, there's a lot of Taoism in here!" Scar replied dismissively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing this, Wang Yue asked, "How do you know so much about these things?" ”

At this moment, everyone noticed Wang Yue's arrival and hurriedly saluted.

I saw Scar bow his head and say ashamedly: "Don't tell the adult, our brother was also in the army before he became a bandit." ”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Wang Yue's eyes, he didn't expect that this bandit leader was once a soldier.

"Then why did the old brother go up the mountain and become a bandit?" Someone asked.

Hearing this, Scar lowered his head and said no more.

Seeing this, a hand came out and said, "It's not the group of dog officials in the imperial court who forced it!" The three of us were originally soldiers in the Yue family's army, and Scar was our captain's ....... ”

Hearing this, I saw Yue Yun raise his originally lowered head. But everyone focused their attention on the three Scars, and no one noticed Yue Yun's action.

Scar saw one hand speak, so he interrupted one hand and stated it himself.

"We were originally soldiers under General Yue, but after General Yue was killed by traitors, the generals who took over Yue's army were extremely harsh on us old men. My brother couldn't stand it anymore, so he went home in a fit of rage. General Yue has always rewarded us soldiers who rushed to the front line, so our brothers bought fields after returning to their hometowns, and our lives were good. But I didn't expect ......"

Then Scar seemed to remember something, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, although everyone was very curious about what was going on, they didn't urge Scar to continue. This is the pain of others, and you cannot force others to remember the pain.

Scar twitched for a while and continued: "But I didn't expect that we had a landlord who fell in love with my land and had to buy it, and the price he gave was only half of the market price. You say we live on this land, how can we sell it? ”

"That's not going to sell, half the price, why didn't he grab it!?" Someone said indignantly.

"Yes, it stands to reason that if we don't sell him, we can't help it. But the landlord's family has a way, people took advantage of our absence, a fire burned down several of our families at night, but unfortunately my mother and son were still asleep at home, and they were burned alive at home! Scar's tears were like a river, and the other two leaders were sobbing with tears.

"It's so hateful! Did you go to the government to sue him, you have to let the government take good care of it! ”

"I went, but the government accepted the landlord's money, didn't care about our paper at all, and dragged our brother and wife to make a board. Our brother was desperate, so he took a knife and slaughtered the landlord's house, killing them all. But we couldn't stay there anymore, and finally came to Xingyuan. At first, we didn't think about falling into the grass, but wanted to join the army, but the general of Xingyuan said that to join the army, we had to pay five taels of silver to join the army to buy equipment. ”

Wang Yue was speechless for a long time when he heard this, he didn't expect that the life of the people in this society would be so difficult. At this time, perhaps Wang Yue himself didn't realize that a seed that wanted the people to live a good life had taken root in his heart!

The rest of the sergeants listened to Scar's past and sympathized with his plight, coupled with the fact that they were refused to enter the city today, they couldn't help but scold the Xingyuan defenders.

At this time, the sergeant who Wang Yue patted Xingyuan came over, leaned on Wang Yue's ear and said, "Regiment leader, the prefect is here!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yue was shocked. He sent people to Xingyuan, and he asked the prefect to send an order to the attention of the north gate guard, but he didn't expect the prefect to come in person. So Wang Yue hurriedly went to visit the prefect, this was his big backer in Xingyuan, and he couldn't be lazy.

After entering the camp, Wang Yue said loudly: "The students visit the prefect, and they redeem the students in armor, and they can't salute!" ”

"Haha, Bohu laughed. You have killed thieves for this Xingyuan Mansion, but it is a great achievement, how can this mansion blame you. I didn't expect that what these 5,000 officers and soldiers didn't do was done by more than 1,000 people in you! ”

Hearing this, Wang Yue told the prefect the truth about the last time the officials and troops suppressed the bandits. But unexpectedly, he didn't see a trace of shock on the prefect's face at all, as if he had already known about it.

As Wang Yue expected, the prefect listened to Wang Yue's words and said, "Do you really think that this government doesn't know about this matter? This mansion has also been the prefect of Xingyuan for a few years, how can I not know what is going on. But now this situation of empty salaries can be said to be the norm in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it is not something that my small prefect can change. Do you know that this Xingyuan is known as 30,000 defenders, but how many are there? ”

"How much?"

"Less than ten thousand!"

Hearing this, Wang Yue was even more shocked, he always thought that this was just the inaction of the officials and soldiers, but he didn't expect that the corruption had reached this point.

The prefect saw the shock on Wang Yue's face, patted Wang Yue's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't worry about these things, it's not something we can change." If you really have the heart, study hard and try to occupy a place in that court, and when the time comes, we will be strengthened and we will be able to make some changes in these things. Now you follow the mansion to the north city gate, and the mansion will let the group of puppies open the door! ”

Wang Yue also knew that the prefect was right, these things were really not something he could manage now. He was about to follow the prefect out of the tent, but suddenly he stopped the prefect as if he remembered something and said, "My lord, the students have something to ask for." ”

"Oh? What's up? As soon as the prefect saw Wang Yue's expression, he knew that Wang Yue was an upright person, and he liked him even more.

"The students want to ask the prefect to save the lives of these bandits!"

"Why?"

Hearing the prefect ask himself, Wang Yue told the prefect about the matter he promised to Scar and the past of Scar. I saw that the prefect said after hearing this: "I didn't expect that the leader of the bandits is still a man who values righteousness, and he is not a subordinate of General Yue!" You take this mansion to see this bandit leader, whether he will spare his life depends on his performance. ”

In the end, the prefect is the number one military and political leader in Xingyuan, and leaving the lives of a few bandits is only a matter of one sentence. But he has to be responsible for the entire people of Xingyuan, and he can't put a group of vicious people back, so he has to investigate this person.

As soon as Wang Yue heard that there was a play, he hurriedly took the prefect to Scar. At this moment, Scar has become one with the ironclad sergeant, noisy and shouting, and there is a lively scene in this barracks.

With the prefect, Wang Yue walked to the front and saw the three of Scar and said, "Scar, the prefect is here, don't hurry up and salute." After saying that, he glanced at Scar.

The three Scars immediately understood and hurriedly saluted. The lives of their brothers are in the hands of the prefect.

"The grass people have seen the prefect."

"The three of you are the leaders of the Tridentals?"

"The grass people are."

"The three of you have caused a lot of trouble for this government, and this government has served as the prefect here for two terms, just because you have not been exterminated, and the evaluation has been delayed."

When the three scars heard the prefect say this, their hearts were half cold. Then Scar said: "My lord, we were forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, but we never robbed the poor, only those rich merchants, and never hurt people's lives." I also hope that the adults will leave the lives of the brothers in this part, as for the three of us, how the adults deal with it, we have no complaints. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

At this moment, he suddenly saw the prefect laughing and said, "Bohu, this person is really a person who values righteousness!" Then the prefect said to Scar: "Well, this house will do your wish!" ”

After hearing this, the three hurriedly thanked the prefect.

After that, the prefect took Wang Yue and his people to the city gate. On the way, the prefect said to Wang Yue: "Bohu, I think those three people are righteous and righteous, and their hearts are not bad, do you have any plans to appease them?" ”

"Take them in?" Wang Yue was a little confused.

"Yes, now your ironclad army has just been established, but no one understands military affairs. These three people have been in the Yue Family Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Yue Family Army is second to none in the entire Great Song Dynasty, they are of great use to you! ”

Wang Yue immediately understood after such a little dial from the prefect, but he still had a question.

"My lord, but if I subdue them, will it have any effect?"

The prefect smiled and said, "What impact can it have?" This recruitment of thieves has always been the national policy of my Great Song Dynasty, and when I report it, I will say that I will send you to surrender, but the credit and rewards will be greatly discounted, I don't know if you are willing, Bohu? ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Who doesn't want to be a fool, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find. Although these three people are not famous generals, they have a great effect on themselves now. Besides, the harvest of his own bandit is much more than any reward.

Hearing Wang Yue's hearty answer, the prefect laughed loudly. In this hearty laughter, the army came to the north gate of Xingyuan.
