Yue Rong says:

"If you have any questions about Lord Xie and Lord Lin, you can just ask Ah Qian."

"Although he hasn't been in the garrison for a long time, he knows a little bit, and it would be great if he could help you, even if he can't help you, you always need someone familiar with the vicinity of Zhangning to help you when you act here."

Xie Yuan saw Yue Rong's politeness, and after glancing at Lin Gang, Xie Yuan said with a smile: "It's still that Uncle Yue is thoughtful, it's better to let someone send some tea." ”

"It's freezing outside, I'm afraid you're also suffering from the cold wind when you come here, drink some tea to warm up, how about we talk while drinking?"

Yue Rong and Yue Qian had no objections, and Lin Gang knew that the two people in front of him could help him understand the case, so naturally he would not refuse.

Several people went to the back hall of the government together, where a charcoal fire was lit, and when they entered, they were surrounded by warmth.

After they sat down, Xie Yuan ordered his entourage to go down and boil tea and send it over.

After the hot tea was placed in front of a few people, Xie Yuan said, "Brother Yue, you said that you know some things about Min Chengyuan, but it has something to do with the matter of the Bo family's soldiers?" ”

Yue Qian shook his head and said: "I don't know if it has anything to do with it, I just know that there was a lot of money in the garrison at the beginning." ”

"And Min Chengyuan was also secretly involved in the slave business at that time, he once bought a large number of ten-year-old children with slave traders in Zhangning City, both male and female, and when Jingnan was hit by the disaster two years ago, Min Chengyuan and Fang Xuzhou, the governor of Zhangning Prefecture, also opened the city gate to collect a large number of refugees."

After Lin Gang heard Yue Qian's words, his eyes widened: "You mean, when Jingnan was in drought, Zhang Ning took in refugees who fled Jingnan?" ”

Yue Qian nodded: "Yes." ”

"At that time, I was still in the garrison, and I was ordered to count the number of refugees, and there were tens of thousands of them."

"At that time, there was not so much food in the official treasury of Zhangning, and the food and grass of the garrison was not enough to appease those refugees, but Min Chengyuan and Fang Xuzhou opened the city gate and did not refuse the refugees who came."

"Not only that, but Min Chengyuan also included many of those refugees in the army."

Xie Yuan frowned when he heard this, and said: "Zhang Ning lives in a remote place, although it is close to the sea, it has never been prosperous, and the people here are not very good, and it is also very far away from Jingnan. ”

"Even if the refugees over there have nowhere to go, it stands to reason that they won't come here over the mountains, right?"

Yue Qian pursed her lips and said: "Ordinary circumstances are naturally impossible, but at that time, Min Chengyuan and they sent people to the vicinity of Jingnan to attract refugees, and they also once let people spread the news that as long as those people come to Zhangning, they can be resettled, and Zhangning will not refuse any refugees who come to defect." ”

Xie Yuan and Lin Gang both looked surprised when they heard this.

The number of refugees in Jingnan was not only tens of thousands, but also Jingnan was originally a border place, very close to the Southern Wei Dynasty, and although the population gathered there was not as large as the rich Jiangnan area, it was by no means a small number.

There was no rain in Jingnan for several months, and countless people starved to death, and at that time, all the prefectures and counties near Jingnan were closed with city gates, and they were afraid that these refugees in Jingnan would flee to their side, and there would be nowhere to settle in the city.

But this Zhangning actually did the opposite, not only willing to accept those victims, but even let people go to guide the way, let those people come, and Zhangning's own financial taxes must not be able to afford it.

Lin Gang frowned and said, "Do you want to tell us that those soldiers in Bojiatun are the large number of refugees who came from Jingnan at the beginning?" ”

Yue Qian replied in a low voice: "I can't be sure of the specifics, but it should be related." ”

"At the beginning, I was ordered to count the rebels who came to defect, among them young and middle-aged men who were healthy and had no diseases, and some young and ignorant children were all registered separately and placed by Min Chengyuan alone, while those old people and those women were all left in the city."

"Lord Lin and Master Xie want to know why I left the garrison in the first place?"

Xie Yuan and Lin Gang both looked at Yue Qian.

Yue Qian tugged at the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "It's because I found out at that time that the women among the refugees who came to defect disappeared one after another, and those old people were locked up in a specific good hall in the city, and they 'died' of illness because of their weak health. ”

"I realized that something was wrong at the time, so I went to track it down, but it ruined Min Chengyuan's good deeds, and broke the fact that he sold those women as slaves to others, Min Chengyuan couldn't tolerate me, so I left the garrison to save my life."

Xie Yuan's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, Min Chengyuan took those men and young children into the army, while those women and old people were enslaved and abandoned?" ”

Yue Qian nodded: "Yes." ”

Xie Yuan's face suddenly sank: "Then since you know what Min Chengyuan did, why didn't you tell the imperial court?" ”

"Even if you are worried about Min Chengyuan's revenge, since you can save your life after breaking Min Chengyuan's matter, you must be holding something in your hand that can make Min Chengyuan jealous."

"If you don't dare to tell the court, Uncle Yue has contacted my mother several times in the past two years, why don't you mention it in your heart? Do you know how much is involved? ”

"At the beginning, countless people died in the drought in Jingnan, and those refugees finally survived, but they were treated like this by Min Chengyuan, do you know that if you conceal these things, how many people will die in vain, and how many wives will be separated and their families will be ruined?!"

Yue Qian's eyes showed a look of anger when he heard this, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "Then did Master Xie know that I also broke people for those people?" ”

Xie Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Yue Rong pulled Yue Qian on the side.

Yue Qian closed his mouth and sat there, looking gloomy and not speaking.

And Yue Rong said on the side: "Master Xie, after Ah Qian knew what Min Chengyuan did two years ago, he wanted to send the news to the capital without telling me, and he tried his best to save those refugees, but ......"

Yue Rong pursed his lips, and his voice was a little lower:

"But Ah Qian saved those people, but his wife and children were injured by the refugees he rescued, and finally died."

Xie Yuan and Lin Gang had shocked expressions on their faces.

Lin Gang said: "His wife and children ......"

Yue Qian said in a cold voice:

"My wife is good-natured, and when she first learned what happened to those women, she felt great pity for them."

"After I rescued those people, I hid them in a secret place, and my wife took people to bring them food and water every day, but who knew that those people ended up ungrateful and hurt my wife, leaving her to die a tragic death with the child in her womb."

After Yue Qian finished speaking, his voice was indifferent:

"The thing I regret the most in my life is that I saved those people in the first place."

"If it weren't for the friendship between my father and Mrs. Xie, I wouldn't have come to see you today, let alone mention Min Chengyuan to you."
