Chapter 367: Deal!
The official of the mansion leaned his head out curiously, and someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "We are the accomplices who were summoned by Master Li, don't worry, uncle!" ”
The doorman sighed, and as expected, he retracted his head again.
Li You kicked the door hard and turned around helplessly. The princes of the imperial court are far away in Beijing, and they may believe in the fact that his son was abducted some time ago, but Yang Futai is stationed in Xuyi, how can he not have any doubts about what is happening under his nose? It's probably just that it can't be confirmed that he directed and acted himself.
Now retribution is coming... Although facing danger, Li You knew that Xuyi had gathered more than 20,000 Sizhou people who had fled, and he was worried that the conflict would intensify and cause even greater chaos, so he did not let the guards move their swords at first.
But the situation became worse, and a group of a dozen or so people were tightly surrounded near the porch. His personal safety was threatened, and Li You couldn't care much about it, so he ordered the guards to draw their swords, intending to deter the other party.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people are naturally afraid when they encounter the official army, and it is not impossible for the official army to fight too little. But this time it doesn't seem to be the case, and even if you are ruthless, you can't break up and scare the other party away.
There are too many people on the other side, and there are many people with sticks, and even a few armed people are pressing the formation, and they all seem to be holding their breath, not a mass of loose sand that can be easily repulsed.
At this time, the calm and composed-minded Li Dacai was really anxious, and if he continued to be entangled like this, he would definitely fall into the hands of the other party. Even if Shangzhi County got the news to save him, he would have to suffer a few times first. If the other party really wants his life, then the game will be over.
The passing year is not good! Li You cursed in his heart, the number of dangers he encountered in his life was not as much as that in Xuyi, Sizhou! If he can get out safely this time, he will definitely not stay in Xuyi for one more day, and he will never come to the Huaisi area again in this life! No wonder the saying is that Dao Ning is a peace dog, not a mess and leaves!
Lord Li is still very strange, even if the people of Sizhou are fierce, how can they be so angry? Now that there are rations, Xuyi is also very generous in opening and closing the position for disaster relief, and he can still barely make ends meet without starvation, so before the most critical moment, how can he make trouble desperately? Aren't you afraid of being seen as a robber and rebelling! It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the people of the country are not the most tolerant... In fact, it is only a few breaths to be besieged, and it is estimated that in a few breaths, Master Li will fall into the hands of thieves.
Two guards have already fallen, and gaps are gradually appearing in the protective ring around Li You... He felt even more faintly that today's incident was a little unusual, judging from the ruthlessness of these people, it was not like the people gathering to beat up and retaliate against the officials, but more like directly killing the officials.
It is said that there are at least 20,000 people who fled from Sizhou to Xuyi, which is called the group of displaced people in the history books. Groups of displaced people from Sizhou gathered in a small area in the west and north of Xuyi City, and there were also people wandering in the city, and some of them spread quickly.
In particular, issues related to the survival of ethnic groups in the future are the most sensitive for the displaced people. Of course, these are also the most worrying issues of the imperial court, so Li You's abduction can be treated so leniently, on the one hand, Li You himself took the initiative to intercede, and on the other hand, there is probably also a consideration to avoid intensifying the emotions of the displaced people.
As mentioned above, after Jiashen, the imperial court has always attached great importance to the people's changes and civil unrest, and when encountering things, the general attitude is divided into two types: leniency and severity.
Specific to the Sizhou refugees this time, the attitude revealed in the imperial edict just now is obviously to appease, and the veterans of officialdom can see it, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Futai dares to let Li You encounter a dilemma and ignore it. If you look back and be blamed, you can justify that this is to use Master Li to appease people's hearts.
The words were far away, but it was said that some news among the homeless people spread quickly. For example, there was a recent incident in which people from Yujia Village, west of Sizhou City, kidnapped Lord Li, the chief river officer on the south bank of Honghu Lake during the flood season!
This makes the people of Sizhou very relieved, then Master Li is not a thing! Although I heard that Wang Zhizhou's head was caught by the door to pick up the embankment of the ancestral tomb, Li Dacai was forced to flood Sizhou to discharge the flood. But as long as Sizhou was drowned by his order, it was not a thing!
However, what the displaced people in Sizhou didn't expect was that Yujia Village didn't get into trouble with the government, because they married the beautiful women in the clan to Lord Li as concubines and became relatives with Lord Li! What's more, I heard that Master Li was willing to help settle Yujia Village properly!
This makes other village groups very envious. When the patriarchs and elders who were worried about the future survival of their family township heard the news, they all looked at the good luck of Yujia Village. Knowing this, they took the lead in solving the problem, so why not!
Facing the loess all year round with their backs to the sky, how much truth can farmers who have no disasters to farm and flee from disasters understand? I just think I can't do it in Yujiacun?
The ancients said well, the initiator, there is no aftermath?
During this time, Lord Li stared at the governor with his eyes turned to the sky and looked at the court, full of calculations and scheming, but he did not look down. Besides, it was not his duty to resettle the displaced people, so he did not take the displaced people to heart and did not pay attention to them.
When Sizhou City was still there, there was a horse village adjacent to Yujia Village outside the West Gate. At this time, Ma Qianli, the leader of the horse village, the chief and the patriarch, was very troubled. Yes, this horse village is the horse village of the Ma family of Wang Zhizhou's concubine, and the horse village of Ma Dalang and Ma Erlang's brothers.
Compared to other families, the troubles of the horse patriarch are twofold. In addition to the troubles of losing the land and where to go from the former residence, the Ma patriarch is even more troubled by the big trouble that Ma Dalang's family has brought to his clan.
Originally, this family had brought a lot of benefits to the clan, just because they had a daughter who married Wang Zhizhou as a concubine. But who would have thought that they would be so bold as to listen to the ghost words of Zhizhou to dig the embankment of the ancestral tomb.
The digging was dug up, and Master Li, who was sent by the imperial court, found clues, and even Wang Zhizhou was arrested.
Sizhou people who don't know that the ancestral tomb is where the dragon vein is, and it was there that Emperor Taizu's mother went to Fengyang to give birth to the true dragon son after being conceived there. What is the crime of digging the embankment of the ancestral tomb, and the ignorant villagers know that they will kill their heads and raid their homes.
Killing the head and stealing the house is what the Ma Dalang brothers and son deserve, and they deserve it purely for profit. But will it be exterminated? Ma Qianli trembled when he thought about it. I'm afraid that the court will kill and engage in Lianlian, and their whole clan won't be able to escape.
At this time, the news of Yujia Village reached the ears of the Ma patriarch, as if a torch was lit in the dark... What Yujia Village can do, why can't the Ma family do it? There are beauties in Yujia Village, but isn't their Ma family even better? As long as he is broken by Lord Li, he will sue and go to the capital to go to Lord Li and be responsible!
Public opinion is like this in these years, because women want to be three chastity and nine spirits from the beginning, so whether it is passive or active, whoever breaks the body of a woman from a good family will be responsible, and if she is not responsible, she will be condemned by public opinion, unless the woman looks down on the man and does not want the man to be responsible.
This is also the reason why Lord Li respects the woman who has not left the cabinet from a good family, the membrane is too expensive, and if it is broken, it will have to be relied on for a lifetime, and he can't afford to hurt it.
Turning out the medicine configured according to the ancestral secret recipe, Ma Qianli felt more confident in his heart, he was originally for himself, but now he may want to use it on Lord Li... Pour a bag of medicine, and then send a beautiful little lady to serve, even if you are Yanagi Megumi, you will be crazy.
Thinking of this, Ma Qianli smiled slyly.
He judged that Master Li's activity route in Xuyi was nothing more than the wharf, the county government, and the governor's mansion, so he sent a few clansmen, each of whom gave a few pieces of pancake, and sent them to squat everywhere.
Sure enough, on this day, I heard a report that Master Li had gone to the governor's yamen. The patriarch of Ma commanded each house to break into pieces and sneak into the county seat, agreed on a signal, and ambushed separately on the road that must be passed, which did not attract attention, since a large number of Sizhou people poured into Xuyi, it was too common to be in groups. However, the horse patriarch was still a little taboo, and he didn't get too close to the governor's line.
But the truth surprised the horse patriarch... The children of the clan who had been sent to stay near the gate of the mansion ran over panting and shouted, "Uncle! That Master Li was intercepted as soon as he went out! It's in vain here! ”
What the? Ma Qianli was taken aback, this thing can also be cut off? Could it be that there are others who have the same idea as him? He hurriedly led the crowd to the entrance of the alley, and saw the chaotic scene from a distance, and suddenly thought about it and yelled: "That thief, let go of Master Li!" ”
This sentence also reached the ears of Master Li, who was like ants in a hot pot, and when he raised his eyes, he saw dozens of people rushing in from the alley, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, among which a white-faced middle-aged man took the lead.
Suddenly, a new force approached, and the group of people who were surrounding Li You couldn't help but stop their movements, vigilantly paying attention to the newcomers.
After the white-faced middle-aged man approached, he was slightly stunned and smiled: "Who am I, it turns out to be Mu Lao'er!" What do you want to besiege the officials? ”
Someone in the crowd who arrived first snorted coldly: "Ma Qianli, don't meddle in your business." ”
Li You's face was gloomy, listening carefully to the dialogue between the two sides, looking for clues from them.
Ma Qianli no longer paid attention to Mu Laoer, turned his head and saluted Li You: "The little one has seen Lord Li, there is a woman in my Ma clan, and I am willing to have a partial room with the adult!" ”
…… Li You didn't know what to say about this. When the saber was rattling, this brain cramp of this Ma Qianli came out with this sentence?
"As long as the adults don't dislike it, I will help you out of the siege today." Ma Qianli said bluntly.
Depend on! Li You's face is strange, this is taking advantage of the fire to rob and blackmail him! How can he be a spineless person! Hell knows what kind of goods are taken out.
Ma Qianli continued: "Have you ever seen Wang Zhizhou's concubine? Those who are close in appearance to her are cousins of the same ancestors. ”
"Needless to say, deal!" Li You said decisively, how could the eldest husband hesitate to save his life. The beauty in her brain that was as white as fat jade and soft as silk satin flashed.
