"What! Huiji County is cleaning up and exterminating??? Lu Yi was stunned, he couldn't believe what he heard at all: "Is it Xiang Liang's remnants, Ang or what?" ”

Huiji County is in the southeast of the empire, and it is just a coastal area, unlike the counties in the northwest or northern Xinjiang that have a territorial connection with the Hu people, and I have not heard of any turmoil in Huiji County for a long time, but it has developed relatively well in recent years.

Li Zuoche shook his head silently: "It's the mountain man who rushed into the road." ”

What did Huzi say? He told Li Zuoche that his family was a mountain man who had hunted and lived in the mountains, forests, and a village, and that all the people in the village were responsible people who did not cause trouble, and one day suddenly an official came to the village, especially describing the arrogance of those officials, and substituting a few words for the conflict that had been triggered, and the murder became a helpless move, and then talked at length about the villagers being surrounded and suppressed.

So, Huzi is a mountain man after all, and he is a young man with little experience and experience in the world, but he doesn't know that the country really wants to find out what happened to a thing, and if there is a living mouth, it is not difficult to restore the process of the whole thing.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Lu Yi didn't believe that a massacre was taking place in Huiji County, and he said: "A large army is still dispatched to encircle and suppress, when will the civilian officials be able to mobilize the army privately!" ”

There must have been something going on, but what happened is definitely worth discussing and scrutinizing, after all, although the imperial system is a bit chaotic, it has a very strict set of boundaries when it comes to the movement of troops.

Lu Yi wondered, if it was really as serious as Huzi said, Huiji County should have been in full turmoil, and someone should have urgently reported to the person who should have reported it, but not only did the emperor have no news, but the central side did not get similar feedback.

"The former county warden Zhang Cheng was promoted to the center last year to serve as a member of the ruling government because of his meritorious service in civil governance." Lu Yi looked at Li Zuoche and said, "I remember that the county guard of Huiji County is Zhang Er?" ”

Li Zuoche shook his head again. Of course he knows who Zhang Er is, the problem is that he is in the military system. The civilian clique has no way to interfere with the military, and the military clique has no way to interfere with the localities.

It should be said that Li Zuoche and Zhang Er are quite familiar, and the two have been in the same unit for a long time. In Li Zuoche's impression, Zhang Er is a more capable person, but he is a little proud, and his temper is more impulsive to be honest, and he can only talk to his friend Chen Yu. For everyone else, it's a kind of unreasonable look.

It is precisely because of Zhang Er's arrogant personality that he really doesn't have many friends. The pride of his character and the conceit in his mind, he has far more enemies than friends, but these are all personality problems, and the ability is really not bad.

"Your Highness, what should be done with that mountain man?" Li Zuoche was talking about the collision team.

It has always been inappropriate for ordinary people to run into official ranks, and it is not encouraged, after all, if everyone does it. Officials simply don't go out on the streets, and if they really have anything to do, they go to the government office. It's not suitable, and you can't really ignore it when you encounter such a thing, but it's really helpless.

"It's a bit of a big deal." Lu Yi pondered for a moment. said: "But how many levels will it take before it is under my control?" ”

What is Lu Yi? He was the eldest son of the emperor and appointed by the emperor to overseer the state. Before the emperor returned to the imperial capital, he had the responsibility of supervising the empire, but this responsibility was not used to personally manage such things.

"Send some people to Huiji County privately to find out." Lu Yi pondered for a moment: "Then...... That young man to see if he should send it to the imperial capital or to his father's side? ”

The things Huzi described were really too serious. According to him, Zhang Er mobilized a huge army to comprehensively encircle and suppress the mountain people in Huiji County. And it seems, when he recounts. The tone is that the mountain people live and work in peace and contentment, and then Zhang Er is a big bad person, forcing the mountain people to live no longer.

Li Zuoche asked: "The last general has something to say that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Lu Yi glanced at Li Zuoche, he felt that this grandson of Li Mu was really cautious about some things, and he knew in his heart that it was because of the haze brought to this family by Li Mu's unjust death.

Li Zuoche was a little uncomfortable by Lu Yi, he laughed at himself in his heart, and still said: "Reporting to the next level has always been a taboo in officialdom, and the last general thinks that the mountain people should be sent back to Huiji County." ”

"No, no." Lu Yi directly dismissed it. He said: "That young man said that Zhang Er was persecuting them, Zhang Er was the highest civil affairs operator in Huiji County, and the people's livelihood criminal case was finally handled by Zhang Er, which was inappropriate." ”

Li Zuoche stopped talking, the procedure is such a procedure, but Lu Yi is quite right, judging his own affairs is very fucked.

As for going to see Huzi? Lu Yi said that this is not a serial routine, it has to be a matter of life and death, otherwise people with too high status casually did not find out a person's details before going to see them, it is not a brave and fearless, nor is it afraid of death, it is irresponsible for themselves and everyone.

What is the situation on the side of Huiji County, as long as Lu Yi transmits the information to the center and the emperor's line, relying on the post station system and the procuratorate system, it may take some time to be too detailed, but the rough information can be found out in about ten days.

After buying things and getting on the ship again, Lu Yi's team had to get off the ship again when they arrived at the boundary of Hengshan County.

The Yangtze River basin needs to be rectified, and some of it is already underway, and some sections of the river are actually no longer able to provide boat navigation during non-traffic hours at this time, and it is precisely when Lu discussed that it belongs to the time period of restricted navigation.

Huzi stayed in the prince's team for two days, and although he was restricted from his freedom of movement, his treatment was generally good. He actually made a fuss and wanted to see Lu Yi, saying that he wanted to sue in person or something. It is conceivable that Lu Yi will not see him until he finds out what is happening in Huiji County, and he will definitely not be able to get close to Lu Yi until his identity is confirmed.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, after a delay of about half a day, Lu Yi's group of friends set off again.

Hengshan County was a relatively early county under the rule of Lu Zhe, because of its proximity to Nanjun, the official was the first to be radiated when building transportation, and the national highway-level avenues were much wider than those that were built with a framework but not widened.

How so? A one-way road is eight meters wide, and there are two on the left and right sides, which means that the left and right roads are 16 meters together. There will also be an avenue in the middle of the national highway that is also eight meters wide. This avenue is called the emperor's special road, but in fact it is a post station system, and the army can walk, and the most frequent use of this avenue is the post station system, after all, the royal family is not likely to wander around frequently, and the military is not frequent.

Huzi had never seen such an exaggerated road, so that the team was directly frightened when they turned into the avenue. He asked the sergeant who was guarding (watching) him: "How many people will die when this kind of road is built?" ”

The sergeant was a sergeant, and he was the one who took ten robes to spy on the tiger along the way, and they didn't have a very good sense of the mountain people who would show hateful eyes and hideous expressions at this moment. It is not that they despise the mountain people, but that their team is different from the ordinary team, and there is the emperor's eldest son in the team. A guy with hatred in the ranks is in itself an uncertain threat.

Of course, Huzi had hatred, and he was extremely resentful of the three little officials who went to their village...... Not? Although the three officials were killed by them, it did not prevent him from continuing to hate, and he thought in his heart that if the three officials did not go to the village, there would be no future.

Regardless of whether it is right or not, there is no need for a reason, in addition to hating the three dead officials, Huzi hates Zhang Er of some initiators even more to the core. In addition, I have to say that he still hates the county soldiers, because his parents died at the hands of the county soldiers. For the forbidden soldiers who are also soldiers. He was just vigilant and defensive, because seeing that the uniforms of the two armies were different, there were really some things in his little head that were not so easy to distinguish.

Does the tiger hate the ruling family of the empire? In fact, he himself was rather confused, and the emperor ended the war. Usually, during some festivals, the local government will go to the mountains to give some gifts in the name of the emperor's reward. As a clever but simple-minded mountain man, he was as grateful as many others for thinking of his emperor. But, whether it's a small official or a Zhang Er. Or the county soldiers, these people are all acting on the orders of the emperor, so he is confused about whether to hate or not.

"It's not your own person who died." The questioning Shi Chang looked indifferent. Asked rhetorically: "Do you know about the military's development to the south?" ”

Huzi shook his head directly and said he didn't know. The information in the mountains is very closed, and if you want to pay attention to something, it is also some news related to yourself, not to mention the villagers in the mountains, in fact, some people in the city will not pay attention to it.

"The military captures aliens, and it is those alien slaves who build roads." Shi Chang was a little bored and replied casually.

Huzi thought to himself: "Is it alien? I heard that bastard named Zhang Er is treating us as aliens, but we are not! ”

"I didn't care much about the lives of other races before, but I heard that I have cared a little more recently." Shi Chang just didn't have anything to say: "I heard that there is a lack of labor in local construction and mines in overseas provinces, and the living aliens are the labor force, so you can't use them all at once, it's always good to use more time." ”

Huzi has the experience of fleeing in Huiji County, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he has heard some things, such as Zhang Er's targeting of mountain people is to immigrate to the border county or something. He lowered his head, and there was a lot of confusion in his heart: "So that's the case?" That is, there is a lack of labor, and then they will want to arrest us and go to the border counties? In that case, would it be useful to complain to the emperor? ”

Shi Chang didn't know what Huzi was thinking, he was just talking to himself, talking about construction and some other things, including some rumors about Huiji County.

It was news in recent days, and it was rumored that Zhang Er of Huiji County was making a big effort to sort out the household registration, and some hidden populations were dug up, and it seemed that they were concentrated together for screening or something, and then a settlement was given, and finally the roster was to be presented to the center to fill the population of the border county.

"The emperor needs someone to go to the border county? He ...... "Huzi only said this, but he found that several sergeants suddenly turned their heads and stared at them with sharp eyes, and instantly felt infinite pressure.

Whether it is a minister or a citizen, you can't directly shout the word "emperor", let alone "he". Subjects should address the emperor with honorific titles such as "Your Majesty" or "Son of Heaven". These are not from Lu Zhe's rules, but some etiquette and humility in Chinese culture, and as long as they are not ignorant, no one feels that there is anything wrong.

Swept away by several pairs of sharp eyes, Huzi had no way to say anything, but he began to doubt his decision at the beginning, not to mention how hesitant he was in his heart.

Lu Yi finally received feedback on the fifth day of sending people, and the people sent to Huiji County didn't need to spend any effort to investigate, all because the entire Huiji County was beaten and killed by a village of mountain people, and after fleeing, it was found that it was a rebellion, and the impact of a series of bloodshed was really too great.

If the villagers who fled only resisted the pursuit of the government, the impact would have an impact, but there may not be people who sympathize with the mountain people, and there are really many sympathizers who are willing to create opportunities for the mountain people to escape, after all, Zhang Er's sudden "combination punch" has affected the interests of too many people.

Sometimes kindness is not necessarily a good thing, such as Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, or the farmer and the snake, and the old lady who fell and the young man who helped her up, and ...... such a thing that caused a huge impact after the escape of the mountain people.

A family kindly gathered a few mountain people who seemed to be in distress, gave them food and drink, and gave them a place to stay, and the reward was that the family of six wiped their necks that night, from the 50-year-old grandmother to the four-year-old baby.

There is no other reason why this group of mountain people did this, that is, they wondered in their hearts why this family was so kind, and happened to see that the male owner of this family had been to the three elders of the village while helping them, and suspected that their deeds were exposed, so they resisted fear and pretended to be nothing, because they guessed and guessed that they killed people out of inexplicable revenge that night, and then continued to flee.

When people are afraid, they either give up resistance completely, or they become vicious and vicious, and it is clear that the mountain people have chosen the last option. Because of their choice, and because they are old and young have not let go, things are really too bad, and there is such a politician ~ governance ~ fight ~ fight expert Zhang Er is in charge at any time, you can imagine what direction it will develop.

When Lu Yi received the news of Huiji County's feedback, he was silent for a long time.

After Li Zuoche finished reading, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and after he retired to Lu Yi, he ran up immediately without taking a few steps, which was to go to the lock and take the tiger.

"There must be an inside ......story," Lu Yi was thinking, "Things won't be that simple." However, things are becoming more and more qualitative. Therefore, there are many times when the poor must have something to hate......" (To be continued.) )
