"Gotta order!" the generals of the Zhuang Ding family agreed violently, and cooperated with each other to form a team along both sides of the official road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the blink of an eye, a large array of words that seemed to look like were discharged. The foot soldiers were divided into two phalanxes on the left and right, and the cavalry was lined up in a horizontal phalanx to push forward, and the front center of the whole team was the goatee Liu Boss, as well as a number of village owners and castle owners who were allied with him, heroes, and village sages.

"Hmm-!" Seeing that everyone's movements were so fast, Boss Liu, the goatee, felt very embarrassed. With a satisfied groan in his mouth, he stroked his beard and looked at Shi Shiran in the direction of Luzhou City.

The local officials and troops that poured out of Luzhou City were completely different. For the generals, one by one, the helmets and armor are crooked, and they are angry and corrupt. When the soldiers stumble one by one, you push me. As for Wang Shu, the assassin of Luzhou, and Fang Zheng, the training envoy of the Luzhou regiment, as well as Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Justice, Si Bing, Si Tian and other Cao soldiers who joined the army, they were all distracted and worried.

Everyone understands why these generals of the Zhuang Ding family who are "passing by" today are here! Chang Si, the new Jiedu envoy of Ze and Luzhou, is so bold that he actually issued an order for the collection of grain to all counties and townships within his jurisdiction when he had just taken office for less than three months and did not even bother to receive them from the local village sages! He also didn't think about it carefully, if he could let all the villages, forts, and villages under his rule pay money, grain, and taxes in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, how could there be such a huge amount of arrears on the books of Ze and Lu Prefectures? The history of the two states was not all waste, and who didn't want to make some political achievements to increase the number of officials and knights? But Zelu and Lu were surrounded by either high mountains or big rivers, and there were many bandits and grass like cows. Officials don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and there are constant police reports in the local area all year round. took the initiative to collect debts from the owners of the village and the castle, didn't they force them to take risks?

However, it is clear that none of the civil and military officials in Luzhou will speak out to Chang Si.

First of all, Chang Si is not a reasonable master, since he took office, he has been arrogant and domineering, meddling in all directions, and offended the assassin history, the county order, and the civil and military at all levels.

Secondly, the wicked in this world have their own wicked people, and he often thinks that he doesn't take the local officials seriously, and naturally some people in the local area don't take his festival envoy seriously. It's good for the two sides to touch each other, and they know each other's depths, so it's easier to bargain calmly.

Again, it is the sermon that some people tacitly know, but no one will say. This official is appointed by the imperial court, and he is an official, a regimental training commander, and a capital leader, but he is all native. Although they all live in the city, who is outside the city and does not have a prominent family business? Behind whom, there is not a clan with deep roots and leafy leaves? Do you often think that the strong dragon wants to suppress the head snakes of the earth, and the head snakes of the land, can you not do some consideration for your own family?

What's more, even if there are one or two petty officials and low-level martial artists who are not deeply connected with the local community. After so many years, all kinds of overt "salutes" have long been soft. When they can't figure out how long Chang Si can be a temperance envoy, why should they risk offending their wealth?

So, at this moment, on the official road leading to the southwest of Luzhou City, such a strange scene appeared. Zhuang Ding, which was spontaneously organized by the village sages, had a strict military appearance and high morale. And the local group training where the imperial court paid for it to live was staggered and trembling. Looking at both sides from Ning Xiaofei's hidden position, for a while, it was difficult to distinguish who was the regular army and who was the rabble that had been temporarily pulled out? If there was a conflict between the two sides, they would not dare to know who had exterminated whom!

"No wonder Chang Si has been so anxious in the past two months. If I were to change his position, I would be so anxious that my head would be full of green bags!" The young man did not know the catticity of the local officialdom, and after comparing the two sides, he immediately began to sympathize with Chang Si's situation.

was thinking wildly, but suddenly heard the goatee boss Liu sneering and complaining: "His grandmother's, that shelf surnamed Chang is really big enough! Lao Tzu came to the door in person, he actually only let Wang Mazi and Fang Abacus come out, and he refused to even take pictures with Lao Tzu!"

"Anxious, Brother Liu, the fourth uncle has already said that the surname Chang is a wax head gun. No matter whether he shows up this time or not, after going through this experience, he should also understand who is talking about this place in Luzhou!"

"Just you, Yin Lao Wu has a good memory!" Boss Liu glanced at him and counted in a low voice, "What if the fourth uncle guesses wrong? If you don't force the surname Chang out for a long time, I'm afraid that he will have other crooked thoughts in a few days!"

"What crooked thoughts can he have? On Zhangjiazhuang's side, there have already been juniors who have sent back news from Bianliang, and the surname Chang has fallen out of favor. This seems to be a promotion, but in fact he was snubbed. Otherwise, with his qualifications, how could he not be a privy deputy envoy?" Yin Lao Wu smiled, disdainful of Boss Liu's worries.

Without the title of Privy Vice-Envoy, you are not qualified to mobilize too many troops. And with the addition of this title, once Chang Si gets angry, not only the local soldiers and horses in Zelu and the two states will be at his disposal, but the armies in the neighboring states must also come over at any time to obey orders. So from this point of view, Chang Si is a silver-like wax gun head. It's okay to scare people there, and when you move your real life, your true form is suddenly revealed.

"Isn't it? The surnamed Chang has been in office for so long, and the imperial court has neither sent him reinforcements, nor has it allocated him food, grass and equipment, so that he can recruit troops. Obviously, is he just throwing him here to fend for himself? That is, he has a big heart, and he has become so virtuous, and he still wants to make a difference!"

"Yes, when did the fourth uncle miss it!"

"The surname Chang is so ignorant, let's not get used to him!"

"If you want to take money and food from our masters, just rely on him, and the seven or eight hundred rotten garlic under his hands?

"Since the time of the Great Tang Zhuang Sect, no one dared to stretch out their hands on our heads again. The one surnamed Chang, I'm afraid he wants to regain the emperor's appreciation, and he wants to go crazy!"

“......”

Other castle owners, village owners, village owners, and village sages also spoke one after another, and they all felt that the purpose of completing this trip was a matter of course.

Anyway, it will take a long time for the officers and soldiers in the city to get closer, and everyone is idle, and after belittleing the common thoughts, they began to talk about the situation in Zelu and Luzhou, as well as their views on the future. Most of these views were too wishful thinking, and they smelled like rotting corpses from beginning to end, but listening to the ears of Ning Ziming on the canopy, the latter understood the ins and outs of the army under his feet more and more clearly.

They are here to demonstrate, and the so-called "Shangdang is looking for revenge" is just a high-sounding excuse. In fact, not only the owners, castle owners, and village owners knew the true purpose of everyone's trip, but even the generals and village heads at the bottom were also passed in advance, and they also knew about it.

In their opinion, everyone's trip is absolutely justified and justified. Everyone was originally a good people, but it was the new festival envoy who thought about it and stretched his claws into the bowl of everyone. So everyone must cut off this claw, otherwise, who knows what the dead fat man surnamed Chang will do?!

Everyone must let the surnamed Chang know that some things can be done in other places, but in Zezhou and Luzhou, they don't work. Because Zezhou and Luzhou are the most special places in the world, he often thinks that when he comes here, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down, so don't think about it in any way.

And the so-called special, Ning Ziming combined with what he heard and witnessed some time ago, and compared the rhetoric of the village sages at his feet, he also slowly gained some understanding. First of all, because of the location, and secondly, because of the time.

Long before the Later Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Khitans, the Han king Liu Zhiyuan and the imperial court were on guard against each other, so Zezhou and Luzhou, which are located north of the Yellow River and are known for their complex terrain, became a strategic buffer between Bianliang and Taiyuan.

The imperial court didn't have the energy to take care of this, but Liu Zhiyuan had the energy but deliberately ignored it, and even quietly stumbled and dragged the officials sent by the imperial court. Over time, Zezhou and Luzhou have become what they are now, and the majesty of the government can only be retained in the state capital and a few scattered county seats. The common people were bullied and had no place to complain, so they could only abandon their ancestral farms and houses, and flee to distant places with blankets on their backs.

When the battle between the Later Jin and the Khitans was fierce, in order to let Liu Zhiyuan send troops, Shi Chonggui also issued an order to hand over a large area north of the Yellow River and west of the Taihang Mountain, including Zezhou and Luzhou, to Liu Zhiyuan for governance. But Liu Zhiyuan had already seen that the Later Jin Dynasty was about to die, and he was secretly accumulating strength for the future, so he didn't have the heart to take over this mess at all. After receiving Shi Chonggui's holy decree, he only ostensibly sent people to issue an edict to the state and county seats, announcing that the states and counties would be included in his sphere of influence. But he never sent a single soldier to help the imperial court in the war, and he was not in the mood to waste his precious grain, grass and materials in Ze and Lu Prefectures.

As a result, the two prefectures of Zelu have become "enclaves" more thoroughly, the court does not care, the king of Han does not ask, and the common people live a precarious life. It is the "famous and capable village sages", one by one, like a fish in water. If you like any piece of land, you will allocate it to your own home, and whoever you like will pull it back to the yard directly, and what you say is the royal law, and stepping on other people's heads and is considered "grace". As long as they do not openly raise flags and rebel and attack county towns and state towns, these "dynamic non-governmental organizations" will be the targets of the government's wooing. Even if they sometimes go out of the ordinary, moving the taxes that should have been paid to the government and moving them to their own homes, the local officials have chosen to turn a blind eye in order to calm the situation.

However, recently, the townsmen and heroes have been a little unsteady in their hearts. Liu Zhiyuan became the emperor, and Zezhou and Luzhou could no longer play a buffer role between Taiyuan and Bianliang. The original assassination and defense envoy suddenly had another Zelu Festival envoy on his head. And it is said that the origin of this festival is not small, it is actually Liu Zhiyuan's brother who knocked his head on the ground, and the six armies are Yu Hou Changsi. But it's strange here, it stands to reason that the king of Han has become the son of heaven, and the old brother has no merit and hard work, so why should he be a prime minister or a general? Why was he sent to Zezhou and Luzhou, two poor places where birds don't?

Obviously, Chang Si was not ascended, but was secretly lowered by the bright ascension. There is no shortage of smart people, especially in chaotic places like Zezhou and Luzhou, where anyone who can become the owner of the fort and prevent the fort where he is located from being swallowed up by the surrounding forces is considered a human spirit. After a little pondering, the village sages speculated the truth behind Chang Si's appointment as the envoy of Zelu Jiedu.

At this moment, many castle owners and village owners immediately blossomed in their hearts. If Chang Si is still valued by Liu Zhiyuan, everyone will naturally have to weigh everything they do, so as not to provoke Chang Si, break the face of the court, and provoke Liu Zhiyuan to send a large army to the local area to support the old brother. But if Chang Si has fallen out of favor, there is no need for everyone to ask for trouble. If you should maintain the authority of the family, you must maintain the authority of the family, and you should punish the people with a hot hand. lest some people have delusions, thinking that if they change the court, they will change the sky.

In major national affairs, the village sages cannot compete with the imperial court. But locally, it must continue to be decided by the village sages. Of course, you should give the festival the "face" of the adult, and everyone will still give it enough. Whether it is a silver ingot with white flowers or a copper coin with yellow and clear flowers, as long as he can say an accurate number, everyone will definitely feed him to a full stomach.

Originally, if Chang Si didn't take the initiative to "make trouble", that is, within ten days and half a month after the summer grain was put into storage, there would be a large amount of "salute" and it would be sent to his mansion in Luzhou City very naturally. Unexpectedly, Chang Si refused to keep to himself, and actually defied the disapproval of the world and issued a tax reminder order to the local government. And not only should the full amount be collected in that year, but also the arrears accumulated in various places in the past were also instructed to find ways to make up for them as soon as possible.

Now, it can be regarded as a hornet's nest in Lu and Ze. Immediately, all the village sages gathered together and decided to give the new Jiedu envoy a little color. And this color must also grasp the scale. It is not allowed to make the imperial court feel that the local gentry are threatened to raise the flag to rebel, and it is also impossible to let the surname Chang not feel the pain, and continue to "do whatever he wants" in the future.

Therefore, the most secure way for the villagers to discuss and discuss is for more than a dozen large-scale forts to take joint action and "pass" by the side of Luzhou City in the name of "fighting wrongdoers". This distance can't be too far, and it won't have the effect of showing strength. This distance can't be too close, otherwise it will be reported to the imperial court by someone adding fuel and vinegar, and Chang Si will definitely get out, and those leaders who are placed in the state government and the regimental training yamen by various families will inevitably have to eat some hanging, and if they don't get it right, they will have to lose their official positions.

"The Assassin and the regimental training envoy, it's really righteous! It's been so long, and I haven't brought the team over, hehe, look, look, you see, the surname Chang has come out, it's out, Chang Si finally couldn't bear it anymore and came out. Alas, the team is quite neat, but the number of people is a little cold!" The sound of discussion came from under his feet, making Ning Ziming's heart cold.

It stands to reason that the goal of the village sages is Chang Si, and the officials who accept bribes are also Liu Zhiyuan's courtiers, whether they have anything to do with him Ning Ziming or Shi Yanbao. However, he still couldn't help but grip the handle of the knife on his waist tighter and tighter!
