After entering the cottage, Lian Guoshi shook his square steps while looking around with his eyes. Patrol the royal vision, these fiery eyes must be used well. I saw that a smooth dirt road was built behind the main gate of the cottage, which extended to the meeting hall at the top of the village, and there was no plaque such as "walking for the sky" in front of the meeting hall.

This is a relatively rare thing, all the thieves who occupy the mountain as the king, they have to hang a plaque such as "walking for the heavens" or some kind of "righteous hall", because this can show that they are a group of righteous thieves, and it is convenient to recruit new thieves to join the gang. But this cottage seems to be very simple, and there are no arrogant things.

Lian Guoshi couldn't help but ask Zhu Yuanzhang beside him: "Zhu Ba, why didn't you hang a flag or put up a plaque in your village?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled secretly in his heart: You don't need money to make a plaque? Not to mention the waste of wood, but also the craftsmanship of carpentry, I don't like to engage in those false heads.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a thrifty person all his life, never liked to play false, and was very pragmatic. He thought so, but said in a tone of sincere fear: "How can that thing stand? Isn't it clear that those flags and plaques are set up to oppose the imperial court? We occupy this mountain just to find a place to settle down, and we don't want to go against the court. ”

The Ming Dynasty is the country established by Zhu Yuanzhang, to say that he does not want to go against this country, there may be no one in the world who is more sincere than Zhu Yuanzhang, he said "I don't want to go against the court" did not have the slightest hypocrisy, but let go of his own heart, so this sentence is very sincere, listening to the practice of state affairs can not help but be moved.

"This man...... It seems that the rebellion was really forced to rebel! Lian Guoshi sighed secretly in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Alas, how can anyone in this world be willing to give up a comfortable life and run out to fight for life and death? It's not all forced by natural disasters and corrupt officials. ”

As soon as he said this, a large number of villagers who followed behind couldn't help but speak together: "Yes, how can we have the heart to rebel, we are all forced to rebel by this great drought and corrupt officials." ”

Everyone said this together, but the momentum was quite strong, and Lian Guoshi, as an upright literati, deeply agreed with this sentence. You must know that the scholars are not completely stupid, they probably know why the peasants rebelled, and even the court officials, Emperor Chongzhen himself, how could they not know the truth about the peasants' rebellion? It's just that they know this problem, and they can't solve it.

"They are all good citizens!" Lian Guo sighed: "Don't worry, this natural disaster, let's find a way to carry it together, as for the persecution of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, hum!" I'm a patrol of imperial history, and I specialize in arresting corrupt officials. ”

The villagers on both sides of the mountain road knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Lord Qingtian is our master!" ”

This scene is really full of performance, and I can't help but have a few tears overflowing from the corners of my eyes when practicing state affairs. He walked along the mountain road all the way forward, and there were villagers on both sides of the road rushing over, kneeling on the side of the road, and after a while, he knelt down to a ten-mile long street to welcome the Qing officials.

Only Yang Hong followed behind with a black face, his eyes shot a vigilant light, he didn't believe that Zhu Ba would talk so well, all this must be acting! It must have been negotiated in advance by the thieves. He had such an idea, and then looked at the villagers kneeling on the side of the road, and sure enough, he saw that there were some people with bad acting skills who were shouting "Lord Qingtian is our master", and there was actually a hint of laughter on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Hong couldn't help but pull the sleeve of Lian Guo's affairs, and whispered in his ear: "Lord Yushi, don't be deceived by these cunning thieves, their intentions are not sincere at all. ”

"Stop talking nonsense here, alarmist!" Lian Guoshi glanced at Yang Hong dissatisfiedly: "Why are these people not sincere?" I see that they are all good citizens, and they are all good people of my Ming Dynasty, and I have made up my mind to save them from the dire situation. ”

This scholar and literati are most afraid of being stupid, once the dementia occurs, it is really eight horses that can't pull it back, Yang Hong sighed, speechless.

Soon, the long mountain road was over, and Lian Guoshi came to the main hall of the cottage, only to see that there was already a group of leaders of the cottage waiting for him in the main hall, and everyone invited him to the first seat to sit down. Lian Guoshi spoke: "If you have any grievances, you can raise them with me now, and after this official considers them, report your grievances to Wu Yushi and Governor Yang, as long as the court can redress your grievances, it will definitely be done." ”

This is the low stake under the court, although it is talking about redress of grievances, but people who are not blocked in their hearts can understand it, which means: put forward conditions, how much silver do you want? How many rewards? What official position does the leader want? Just list it, if the court can solve it, it will be solved for you, and then you will obediently be good citizens and stop being a thief.

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to put forward conditions.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, first glanced at Wang Er and the others next to him, and said, "You can start ripping your skin", and then shook your hand at practicing state affairs, and said seriously: "Xiaomin sees the majesty of Lord Yushi, and I just hope to return to the arms of the imperial court as soon as possible to be a good citizen, so let's agree on the time to be cared for first...... It's better to do it sooner rather than later, the sooner the better. ”

Of course, the sooner the better, this is exactly what he wants to do with state affairs, he quickly nodded and said: "That's right, the sooner the better!" Well...... It's the beginning of May, and I think May 15 is a good day, so why don't you go out of the mountains to be cared for on that day? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was overjoyed, and he seemed to be about to agree, but suddenly, a desperate San Lang walked out next to him, and said loudly: "It's not appropriate!" ”

"What's wrong?" Everyone turned their heads to stare at him.

Desperate Saburo said loudly: "May 15th, there are two fives in this day, five is nothing, and nothing is nothing, which is too unlucky." After we are cared for and return to our hometown, don't we want nothing? No, no, no! I don't agree with this. ”

"Then what do you say?" Lian Guoshi was slightly angry.

"June 6th, of course." Desperately Saburo said matter-of-factly: "The so-called six or six Shun means that everything is going well, let's use this day." ”

When I heard about practicing state affairs, it made sense: "Then June 6 ......"

Before he could finish speaking, someone next to him shouted, "It's not right! ”

It turned out to be two brothers from the poodle, and the two brothers said together: "What six or six Shun, that's a fortune-telling nonsense, our two brothers think it's better to say June 10." ”

"Why?" Everyone asked.

"June 10 is the birth of my two brothers." The lion lord said this as a matter of course, and it was justified.

Everyone was speechless for a while, can they be auspicious in this life?

"I don't think it's appropriate either, I like June 5th!" Wang Er jumped out: "Reason, there is no reason, I like that day." ”

"No, I want June 8!" Ma Xiaotian also came to join in the fun.

The council hall was suddenly in chaos, and all the leaders were biting their own words for a day, and they would not let go of their mouths even if they died, and they quarreled fiercely.

Lian Guo was quarreled with them for a while, which made his head dizzy, and he was angry in his heart, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he was afraid of angering the thieves and making them unwilling to be appeased, so he held the official master's shelf, and didn't say a word, only looked at Zhu Ba with a pair of eyes, which means: You are the leader, you decide.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang decide on this, he just wanted to delay time, so he spread his hands and said to the leaders: "Nonsense, is it up to you to decide which day you will be cared for?" Where did you put the Governor and the Imperial Historian? In my opinion, the matter of which day to be appeased should be decided by the emperor's appointed Chincha, and none of us here have the right to decide. ”

When he heard this, he felt reasonable, but the emperor designated Wu Fu, not him to practice state affairs. Where is Wu Fu now? In Baishui City, guarding the inner money given by the emperor, it is impossible to run to this mountain, how can this be decided?

Zhu Yuanzhang waved at him and said: "Lord Yushi, why don't you repair a book, write down the time mentioned by the leaders on paper, and send the soldiers with fast feet to the city to hand over to Lord Wu Yushi to decide, do you think so?" ”

"It's good!" Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to send a pen and paper, he brushed the ground for a while, and a letter asking when it was better to be cared for was written, and then Lian Guoshi handed the letter to an elite soldier and instructed: "Send it back to Baishui City, go and return quickly." ”

"Yes!" The soldier took the letter and ran away.

It wasn't until the elite soldier ran away that he slapped his head on the practice of state affairs, huh? It's been a long time, and it seems that the bandits haven't started to put forward conditions yet? For a time to be cared for, it was a long time.

He hurriedly straightened his face: "Okay, let's continue talking!" Do you have any grievances? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled secretly in his heart, he gave Ma Xiaotian another look, this guy is the most clever, he immediately understood when he saw this, and walked out and said: "Lord Yushi, before I went up the mountain and fell into the grass, I was a villager in Xigu Village, our village is the poorest village in Baishui, the land in the village is barren, and it is not good to grow crops, I want to ask, after we are good, can you move a land for me...... I heard that the land in Leiya Township is relatively fertile, can we change it to the villagers of Leiya Township? ”

It is not surprising that his request is not surprising, although it is the most reasonable plan for the Liukou to return to their hometown, but when the imperial court appeases the Liukou, it is also common for the Liukou to arrange a new place for the Liukou to take root and sprout. Lian Guoshi didn't feel anything abnormal, so he smiled and said: "Such a trivial matter, the imperial court will not have to solve it at all, and I agreed to your request......

Before Lian Guo's words fell, the two poodle brothers next to him jumped out of the ground and said loudly: "No! Isn't Leiya Township the hometown of our two brothers? There is no extra land in our township to give to Ma Xiaotian...... This guy doesn't love cleanliness, doesn't learn anything, and snores when he sleeps at night, we don't want neighbors like that. ”

Practicing State Affairs: "......"
