"Yes! My lord! ”

The officer's face was flushed with excitement, he glanced at the big men who were arrogant just now, but at this time they were a little uneasy, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord, there has been a war with the Burmese in Yunnan recently, and a large number of military supplies need to be transported through this county. These people are all members of the family who serve to build roads. ”

Ye Xiaotian had already vaguely guessed something when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Dead people?" ”

The official said, "Yes! Two days ago, there was a lot of landslide, burying more than 10 people. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Serving conscription is the obligation of every citizen. It is unfortunate to die because of this, and the official is also very sympathetic, but the imperial court has its own bereavement regulations, which are all precedents, and the officials and the people abide by them, why is it like this? ”

Before the official could speak, suddenly a woman cried out angrily, "My lord, the people should serve as servants, and the people naturally know about it." However, my man has already worked four times, and he has been working for more than a month and a half. According to the rules, my family originally only served once a year in spring and autumn, and each time it served for half a month. ”

At this time, it was the dead people in the family who came forward to speak, not the big men who were the most clamoring for it. They are not the family members of the workers who caused the accident, but they are bribed by people with intentions to make trouble, and if they had not fanned the flames, these ordinary people might not have the courage to block the yamen.

However, as soon as Ye Xiaotian came, they became dumb. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, this classic history has even killed Uncle Qi Muqi, who is not afraid of such a ruthless character?

Although the classic history of the defeat of Qi Mu was called Ai Feng, there are more and more people who know that Ye Xiaotian is Ai Feng, and this is an open secret in Hu County. These big men followed Qi Mu back then, and when they saw Ye Xiaotian, they saw their nemesis, and they instinctively became afraid.

Ye Xiaotian stepped forward and gently picked up the woman, he didn't have an official attitude towards this peasant woman, he sympathized with this woman very much, but this was the obligation of every people. As for the accident, the government also does not want it to happen. Ye Xiaotian persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't you understand the unusual truth in wartime? If you really want to call the Burmese in, or even enter Guizhou, what will it be like then? Accidents, no one wants. ”

The woman sobbed: "However, my neighbor Chen Er only served one conscription, and Chen Er should have gone this time, if the government could do things fairly, my husband would not have died." ”

"Someone took bribes. Help Chen Er escape from forced labor! ”

This thought flashed through Ye Xiaotian's mind in an instant, this kind of thing is very possible, the small people who follow the rules can only be at the mercy of the powerful, and it is better to serve one more conscription than to fight on the basis of reason, and since then, they have often been targeted by people in the government, so most of them swallowed their anger.

In this case, if Chen Er didn't want to endure hardships and spent money to buy off some public officials, then his conscription would easily be forced to be distributed to those people who were easy to bully. If this is the case, this person will only have half a month's work, but if he dies, the people who can endure it will not be able to endure it.

Ye Xiaotian turned his head. Her eyes were as sharp as knives: "What this sister-in-law said, but is it true?" ”

"Yes...... It's true. ”

The official was a little embarrassed, he hesitated and agreed, and came to Ye Xiaotian's side. He whispered, "My lord, but I can't help it." Never before have conscripts been so frequently drafted, nor had so many people been recruited at the same time. The books of the household department are a mess, and the statistics are not clear at all. Xu Xiancheng was in a hurry again, so he had to order people indiscriminately, which led to the fact that some people served more conscription and some people missed it. ”

"Xu Xiancheng?" Ye Xiaotian's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said slowly: "They all came to Xu Xiancheng to ask questions?" ”

The servant smiled bitterly, "No, they ...... It was to ask for justice from the magistrate. ”

Ye Xiaotian suddenly said, "Not bad!" In any case, the magistrate of the county is the official seal of the county, the supreme of Baili, such a big matter, the principal is Xu Xiancheng, and he can only seek justice from the magistrate. ”

The official showed a strange look on his face, and said, "That's not the case, my lord. Xu County Cheng is only responsible for ensuring the maintenance of the post road, the scheduling of transportation, the arrangement of mules and horses, and the required logistics such as manpower for chariots and horses, all of which are in charge of the county magistrate. ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned. Seeing Ye Xiaotian's strange aura, the official called tentatively: "My lord! My lord? ”

Ye Xiaotian took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "People lead donkeys and you pull out the peg, the county magistrate is really getting more and more promising." ”

The official said, "That's ...... Ahem! A word slipped through his mouth, and he quickly hooked his chin and retreated.

Ye Xiaotian already understood that Xu Xiancheng had snatched the thing that seemed to be the most responsible in his own hands, and for Hua Zhixian, who had never liked to take responsibility, this was exactly what he couldn't ask for. However, it is likely that he did not expect it at the time, and Xu Xiancheng did not remind him, that after Xu Xiancheng undertook the repair, scheduling and arrangement of the entire post road, all the logistics and supply affairs were all pressed on his Hua Qingfeng.

At this time, Hua Qingfeng woke up and regretted it too late. Originally, there was a king's book in the county, and he should be in charge of these things, but with the slippery head of the king's book, he would take over? With the courage of Huazhi County, does he have the ability to let the king take over?

Not to mention that Master Wang and Xu Xiancheng have long been in collusion, and under their mutual care, I am afraid that before Hua Qingfeng can figure out the joints, Master Wang will pick himself out clearly. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "What about the king's book?" Are you sick, visiting relatives, or going on the post road with Xu Xiancheng? ”

The official said admiringly: "Your Excellency is wise! Wang Zhushu first went to the post road with Xu Xiancheng, and then because of old age and frailty, he traveled too much, and became seriously ill, and now he is recuperating at home. ”

Ye Xiaotian sighed again when he heard this. This is good, if the court wins a big victory in the battle of Yun-Burma, and rewards for meritorious deeds, Xu Boyi must be the first to ensure the transportation of baggage in Huxian County, and the Wang Zhushu, who has always liked to be low-key, has the experience of going on the post road first, recovering and seriously ill, and he can't run a second time, even if Hua Qingfeng, who is the seal of Huxian County, ranks third, it is difficult to be noticed.

Originally, as a county Zhengyin, what credit his subordinates had, he was the first merit, just like Ye Xiaotian diverted water to the mountains to alleviate the drought, this first merit was Hua Qingfeng. Although the people of Huxian County know that this is Ye Dianshi's ability. But the court didn't know.

The imperial court wants to pass through a formal information channel, and this channel is from the Qipin Zhengtang Hua Qingfeng in Huxian County, Guizhou Province all the way up, until the entire official system of the center of the imperial court, you Ye Xiaotian can't bypass Hua Qingfeng, this first merit must be people's, just as in the army, no matter how brave and good you will be in the army, you have to let those old military leaders take up most of the credit.

But it's still easy to get out of the army, as long as you have real skills. Because those high-ranking generals and marshals also know who to rely on to really fight, their appearance is not too ugly. But the local bureaucrats are different, afraid that you will not be able to go to heaven?

However, this time is different. Once the imperial court won the battle, who would write the recount? It's the military! The military and local bureaucrats are two completely different systems, some potential rules will be broken, the military people are in contact with Xu Xiancheng all day long, and the people who are busy and do their best are also Xu Xiancheng, and this credit book will make you Huazhi County greatly touted and put your name in front?

But what if Huxian's security is not strong? It is easy for Xu Xiancheng to attribute the reason to the magistrate, because he is not effective in guaranteeing, and he can't transfer enough manpower or chariots and horses. But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

Such a simple trick. Why can't Huazhi County see through it? Ye Xiaotian was angry and funny in his heart, he originally thought that this was Xu Boyi's responsibility, and he wanted to simply let these people make trouble, but he didn't want to be Hua Qingfeng's fool. This benevolent brother is probably stupid when he reads the Bible. I'm afraid I haven't learned the skills of applying them to the world at all. It is estimated that in the past few years in Huxian County, he has not had much contact with government affairs, no wonder he was exploited by Xu Boyi.

Since the person who is anxious now is Hanachi County, he can't ignore it. Hanachi Prefecture is no longer incompetent. Now he is also his ally, even if Hua Qingfeng is useless, at least his seven-grade Zhengyin signboard can still provide moral help for Ye Xiaotian to fight against the two bosses of the county and the chief bookkeeper.

Ye Xiaotian turned to the women and children who were kneeling in front of the ya. Lang Sheng said: "Folks, the collapse of the post road is something that none of us want to see, but some things are unavoidable. As for the confusion in the household register, which caused some people to not bear their due diligence, the government will try its best to come up with a way to avoid more chaos. Your relatives sacrificed their lives for the country, and the government will give you more compensation, and you will not be left without a livelihood. ”

Ye Xiaotian said, stepped forward to help up the woman who had just spoken, and said kindly: "Sister-in-law, as for saying that Chen Er next door should have undertaken this conscription, don't say anything about it." Life and death depend on fate, this landslide is half a natural disaster and half a man-made disaster, one is the mountain is steep, the soil is too soft in some places, on the other hand, it is also the impatience of the service workers, and some necessary reinforcement measures have not been done. If it was Chen Er who served this time, would it definitely collapse? Your family and neighbors usually get along very well, why do you say this, so why are the people of the Chen family embarrassed? ”

The woman listened to what he said, but she no longer refuted it, but remembered her dead family, and after all, she could not help but mourn and weep lowly.

Ye Xiaotian said: "If you block the yamen, it will inevitably affect the office of the yamen." Nowadays, the soldiers in Yunnan are still bleeding and sacrificing, and the post road transportation must not be affected, otherwise once they suffer defeat, no one can afford this responsibility. Your family has died for the kingdom, and if you are guilty of this, how can their spirits in heaven turn a blind eye? Folks, go home first, the government will definitely deal with this matter properly! ”

Although these words are reasonable, the people in extreme grief may not be willing to accept them. Consciousness? Enlightenment is something, but the person who said this is Ye Xiaotian, and the weight in their hearts is different.

In their hearts, Ye Xiaotian is a real good official, a clean official, and an official who can uphold justice for the people. They believed what Ye Xiaotian said, the deceased was gone, they were sad and resentful, but now they only hoped to get as much compensation as possible, so that the public who did the wrong thing could be punished.

And this qiē, since there is Ye Xiaotian's promise, they believe that Ye Xiaotian will definitely be able to do it. Of course, in addition to trust and reverence, they still have enough awe for Ye Xiaotian, an official, it is not enough to be loved, but also to make people have a sense of awe, which Ye Xiaotian is also not lacking. This classic history has defeated a county prince, and has defeated the powerful Qi Mu, who is better than the county lord, which people dare to challenge his authority.

Ye Xiaotian said: "Folks, go back, the official has agreed with you for a time limit, three days!" Within three days, the yamen will have a satisfactory answer to you! ”

With these words, the people were reassured, they supported each other and slowly stood up, as soon as they saw that these people had the intention of retreating, those big men who were hired to make trouble couldn't help but retreat, they gave each other a look, and wanted to leave in a gloomy way.

Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, he had already understood that they and the families of the deceased were not all the way, and seeing that they were about to slip away quietly, Ye Xiaotian's face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!" You guys, no one can go! ”
