Chapter 51: Arrival
The next day, none of the three of them slept well, but they still cheered up and said goodbye to the villagers.
"Mo will pass by here on the way back, and if there are any problems with the waterwheel after the improvement, I will come back to see it." Ink Frost promised them.
Before leaving, the villagers forced a lot of souvenirs into their carriage, and they were not embarrassed to refuse.
After entering the carriage, Mo Shuangyun fell asleep, Fu Xiao and A Shao had a martial arts foundation after all, and they would not be sleepy when they were awake.
Fu Xiao looked at the scattered villages and busy villagers on the side of the road, and thought of the affairs of Qi County, "I think the people are really satisfied, a few acres of fields, made at sunrise and rested at sunset...... What is it that would have forced them to riot? ”
"It's easy for the people to be satisfied, but the appetite of the people above is great." Ah Shao seemed to be moved.
"Yes, so we can't stay for the rest of the journey, Bai Yi and we think so, but most of the others still think that the traitors are in trouble, if most of the emperor's faction is not Bai Yi this time, I'm afraid the simplest idea of the people leading the troops is to use the army to suppress the people." Ink Shuangyun had rested enough, and when she came out to breathe, she just happened to hear their discussion.
Fu Xiao was slightly surprised, "Why don't you investigate the reason?" ”
Ink Shuangyun's smile brought some coldness, "It must be troublesome for them to investigate the reason." ”
He realized that Ah Shao and Fu Xiao were beside him, and hurriedly sneered, "Most of the people's riots are related to agriculture, such as locust plagues, droughts and other natural disasters that lead to bad harvests, of course, there are also man-made disasters, local officials pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes to fill their own pockets, and levy labor, and they can't live anymore, knowing that they are invincible, they can only choose to rebel." ”
"Then let's hurry up and go to Qi County." Fu Xiao was also anxious.
Mo Shuangyun comforted her, "Don't worry, I've told Ah Yi." ”
Bai Yi marched on the main road, he brought a part of the guards of the capital, it is said that the riot was only a few villages, and the people he brought were enough to suppress a town, but ...... Of course, it would be best if he could not use the troops, if this riot was really forced by the officials to rebel against the people, he would not be able to spare those county officials!
But anyway, this time Ah Yun also came. Bai Yi is still very relieved about this operation.
"Lord Bai, the master of Qixian County asks to see you!" Someone came in and preached.
"Let him in." It just so happened that Bai Yi wanted to have a good understanding of the situation in Qi County.
The master of Qixian County came in and saluted Bai Yi first, "Lord Bai, the villain came uninvited, please forgive me." ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing. Bai Yi raised his official tone, "This official also happens to want to know about the situation in Qi County first." ”
The master was overjoyed, "That's great!" ”
Bai Yi raised his hand to interrupt him and continued, this is also Mo Shuangyun's instructions, just like you go out to buy things, if you give the person who sells things the opportunity to speak freely, it will be easy to be swayed by his remarks, so Mo Shuangyun told Bai Yi that when communicating with the county official, he relied on his own judgment and asked what he wanted to know. Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "I ask, you answer." ”
A cold sweat broke out on the master's head, "Yes, yes, Lord Bai, if you ask, the villain must know everything and say everything." ”
"Do you know the cause of the riot?"
The master immediately began to complain, "How does this villain know?" Our county master has been conscientious, who ......"
"If you don't know, you don't know! So much nonsense! "Bai Yi has been an official for so long, and he has learned some of the methods of combining grace and power.
"What is the tax rate in your Qi County?"
"Ten...... Tenth. "Master doesn't know if he was frightened by Bai Yi, and he stumbled when he spoke.
Bai Yi glanced at him with deep meaning, and silently added a sentence in his heart, doubtful.
Bai Yi then asked a few more questions, and immediately asked someone to pull the master out, not wanting to hear him cry about how hard their county master was.
After the master left, Bai Yi began to sort out the information alone, the tax rate was suspicious, and the county order was suspicious...... He eventually gave up.
"This kind of brain-wielding thing should be left to Ah Yun!"
"Ahh
"Couldn't you catch a cold last night?!" Fu Xiao and Ah Shao immediately looked at Mo Shuangyun nervously.
Mo Shuangyun was a little uncomfortable, "It's also possible that Ah Yi is talking about me." ”
Qi County.
As soon as Bai Yi arrived, he was invited to the mansion by the county order.
"Lord Bai, I hope for the stars and the moon, but I can be regarded as waiting for you!"
Bai Yi immediately dodged, and Wu Meng was almost about to pounce on him just now. "Lord Wu, don't worry, the emperor sent this official to solve the matter of Qixian County."
Wu Meng was fat and strong, and he almost wiped his tears when he saw Bai Yi's pitiful appearance, "That's good, that's good, since Lord Bai said so, I'm relieved." ”
"We have been stationed in Qi County during this time, and we have also bothered Lord Wu."
"Lord Bai, don't worry, even if the official takes out his own money, he will definitely let the soldiers eat and drink well!" Wu Meng swore and patted his chest.
Bai Yi frowned slightly, talking to this Wu County Commander always gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
"We brought our own supplies, and Lord Wu's money is useless." Bai Yi said politely.
"There are still a few vacant rooms in my mansion, so Lord Bai might as well stay in ...... temporarily."
"No need." Bai Yi said lightly, "I live with the soldiers. With that, he walked out.
Wu Meng could only trot to keep up with him, and he felt very tired from talking to Bai Yi, "Then when does Lord Bai plan to suppress the traitors?" ”
"Traitors?" Bai Yi stopped and looked at him coldly, "Let's find out whether it's a traitor or not, and then talk about suppression." ”
When Bai Yi left, the master ran to Wu Meng's side tremblingly, "Lord Wu, we ......"
"This is the martial champion of Xinke, doesn't he say that he was born as a civilian? So oil and salt don't enter? Wu Meng said strangely.
The master wiped the sweat from his head, "The villain doesn't know either." ”
"Daddy, are you still worried about those mob things?" A woman in green walked over, her apricot eyes wide and her eyes full of innocence.
"It's Jiaojiao." When Wu Meng saw his beloved daughter, he squeezed out a smile, "Daddy is the parent official of Qi County, of course he has to worry about it." ”
Wu Jiao smiled sweetly, "Well, I know that Daddy has been working hard for the people of Qi County, and those chaotic people are really too much!" ”
"By the way, Daddy, I heard that there are officers and soldiers from the capital who have come to support, can I go and bring them some food?"
Wu Meng thought of the upright Bai Yi, Jiaojiao's husband, of course, if he was a hero of the world, "Jiaojiao remembered that the leading adult was called Bai Yi, and this time the matter would trouble him." ”
"Okay, I'll make one more lotus seed soup for Lord Bai!" Wu Jiao ran away with cheerful steps.
