In the third year of Yong'an, Gu Mo led a part of his people to Gusu, the southernmost place, and Gu Mo began to carry out his mission as soon as he arrived.

He summoned the well-loved official here, Lord Tao. Asked about the situation in Gusu, Master Tao just sighed.

"Master Tao, just say that our General Yang is in charge of you. Yang Dirong snorted coldly when he heard it!

"There are four towns in Gusu, namely Mingyi Town, Mingxia Town, Minghuai Town, and Minghong Town. Among them, Mingyi and Mingxia are a pair of brothers, and we all call them in private, Lord Yang. ”

After that, he looked around again and whispered: "The two of them, but they are the prime ministers!" This place is far away from the capital, and the two of them are like the emperor of the soil, bullying the people every day. This capital said that it would collect 20% of the people's tax, but they said that it was 50% of the tax, and the people in his yafu were all the children of rich families who had been hollowed out by wine. Alas~~ Two good towns were destroyed by him, and he took pity on those people. ”

"I don't know if Master Tao knows that if you say too much, you will lose?"

As soon as Lord Tao heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "The mistake of the lower official, please spare the lower official, and the lower official will never say the root of their words again." ”

Gu Mo glanced at him and said: "Master Tao, you are a smart person and a good official, don't tell outsiders this in the future, if you come this time, it's the same person as them, don't talk about your black veil, even your life will be gone." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials understand, the lower officials understand."

"You get up first, I'm just giving you a wake-up call, you tell me about his behavior now, I want to see how powerful he is."

Lord Tao looked at Gu Mo, Yang Dirong also looked at Gu Mo, what Lord Tao thought in his heart: What a good official is here! And Yang Dirong was really thinking: he didn't seem to have done anything wrong in making this decision to follow him.

"When Lord Yang first came, it was fine. At that time, I also knew that he had something to do with the prime minister, and he also relied on this relationship to get a lot of benefits for the people of the two towns. But for some reason, this behavior lasted for two years. In the third year, the two of them began to be harsh on the people, and said that they had given them so many benefits at the beginning, and now they are just asking for some back. You can ask for this, but they still rob people, and the young girls in the village can leave if they can. Either it's a family, go to a relative's house to hide together, alas~~. ”

Gu Mo and Yang Dirong didn't speak, they just sat there and pondered,

"What about the other two?"

"Among them, Minghong Town is what I watched, and Minghuai Town was the territory of one of my colleagues, Master Jiang, and there was no difference between the two of us. If I had to say something, it was that Minghuai Town was close to the border of the barbarians, and I was afraid that someone would rebel. But in this Minghuai Town, there are no strange things and strange people coming and going, but in the two towns I just mentioned, there are strange people coming and going, this..."

"Master Tao has something to say, we'll take it for you."

Tao Guang looked at the two of them and made up his mind and said: "I feel that they are colluding with the barbarians, although I don't have any evidence, but I just think that the two of them are colluding with the barbarians." Because ah! I always see women in and out of their houses. ”

"Is there a woman coming in and out? Didn't you just say that they rob women? ”

"Oops! These women are different from the others, they have deep eye sockets, and they are very well dressed... Very··· Looking a woman who looks a bit like a barbarian, it is not surprising that this barbarian is your woman in charge, but this strange thing is that these people go to their mansions, and the treatment is not small. ”

"Please don't tell anyone what Master Tao said today."

Tao Guang answered yes and went down.
