Chapter 281: Zhao'an
Zhao Hanzhang's actions made the rioters panic, and they wanted to rush forward with sticks and hoes, but they didn't dare.
Ji Yuan rode on a horse, and Qiu Wu and others surrounded Zhao Hanzhang left and right to prevent them from rioting.
Ji Yuan said loudly: "Rebellion is a big crime to kill the whole family, you don't want to lay down your weapons quickly!" ”
"We're going to die anyway, and if you pull a few pads before you die, we won't lose!"
"That's right, we're going to starve to death, and it's better to cut off our heads."
"Phew, who said you were going to die?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "I can testify for you, you are because you were killed by the county, so you killed people in righteous anger, not rebellion, the court is fair, I can guarantee that you will not die." ”
"Hahahaha, the court is fair," a person laughed and came out from behind the crowd, he was thin, his cheeks were also sharp, but his eyes were bright, and he stared at Zhao Hanzhang with a big knife in his hand and said, "The court is fair, so where did we get such a heavy tax?" You officials clearly want to force us to death, brothers, don't listen to his nonsense...... Hey? ”
He looked Zhao Hanzhang up and down in surprise, his face darkened, "Where did the female doll pretend to be an official and arrest her for me!" ”
Only then did everyone react, and the person standing in front of them and talking to them seemed to be a girl in armor, and immediately someone became emboldened and rushed towards Zhao Hanzhang.
Qiu Wu wanted to step forward to protect, but Ji Yuan stopped him and let Zhao Hanzhang deal with it himself.
Zhao Hanzhang threw the person he was carrying into the arms of the person who rushed up, and the spear in his hand swept around their waists and legs like a dragon, beating them until they were sore and unable to move.
Seeing Zhao Hanzhang's martial arts, the leader stared, clenched the knife in his hand and was about to make a move, Ji Yuan said in time: "Everyone, my girl is indeed an official, she is the county commander of Xiping County, and she has been admitted by He Tingshi himself." ”
The people's news is lagging behind, and they don't know that the county magistrate of Xiping County is a woman, but there are also well-informed people, such as the one headed by him.
He looked at Zhao Hanzhang in disbelief, "Are you Zhao Sanniang from Xiping County?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang bowed his head, looked him up and down, and asked, "Your Excellency is Chen Wan, right?" ”
"I didn't expect Zhao Xianjun to know about me."
Zhao Hanzhang: "I have admired the name for a long time. ”
She tucked her spear behind her back and asked, "Now can we talk?" ”
Chen Wan raised his head and sighed: "Zhao Xianjun is a good official, but our luck is not good, we didn't meet, and it's too late to talk about it now." ”
"I haven't talked about it, how do you know it's too late?"
"We killed the county government, surrounded the county government, and robbed so many rich households, we can't survive, we can only take advantage of the situation, and we can live a few more days in one breath."
"That's right, one more day is a day, and we will never lay down our arms."
Chen Wan in turn persuaded Zhao Hanzhang, "Zhao Xianjun is a good official, we don't embarrass you, you go, we will never stop you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly: "If I say that I have a way to protect you, and I am willing to give you relief food to help you tide over the difficulties, are you willing to surrender to Voldon?" ”
Chen Wan didn't speak, and the people behind him had already shouted: "The words of the officials are not credible." ”
Zhao Hanzhang only stared at Chen Wan.
Chen Wan was as motionless as a mountain, "Zhao Xianjun is just the county commander of Xiping County, can you manage it to Canyang County?" And we also killed the county, which is a big deal in Runan County. ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I swear in the name of my grandfather. ”
When Chen Wan heard this, she was really moved.
He thought about it for a moment, hesitated, especially with so many people behind him, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his fists clenched tightly, "...... We, besieged Sun Xianling for a day and a night, but I am afraid that he has hated us to death......"
Zhao Hanzhang: "I'll solve it, and the county order of Cangyang County will not be surnamed Sun in the future." ”
Chen Wan's eyes flashed slightly, and he was still hesitating, when a chaotic man covered in blood ran from a distance, crashed directly into Chen Wan's arms, pointed in the direction he came from and shouted: "Big brother, there are a lot of officers and soldiers over there, and they have arrested all of our people......"
Chen Wan immediately looked at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded at him with a smile and said, "That's my brother, I don't have to take it seriously, and I ask Chen Yishi to forgive me." ”
"So, Sanniang is not incapable of quelling the rebellion," Zhao Hanzhang, who had been smiling and persuading just now, suddenly turned straight and glanced at the audience with sharp eyes, "Sanniang came to Canyang last year, when he killed a Liu Wu and seriously injured a Liu Jing, after more than half a year, my soldiers and horses in Xiping are stronger, maybe you think you are three points more powerful than the Hun army?" ”
When everyone heard this, they took two steps back tremblingly.
Chen Wan saw everyone's timidity, he knew that whoever was cowardly first in the battle would lose, and when they came here today, they just didn't surrender, and they couldn't win.
Seeing Chen Wan's vacillation, Zhao Hanzhang said loudly again: "And the reason why I didn't do it, but persuaded me to surrender first, is not to pity my soldiers, but to pity you!" ”
"I know that the taxes issued by the imperial court this year are too heavy, but this is not the original intention of the imperial court, this is the result of the deception of the county and the subordinates." Zhao Hanzhang said: "The imperial court didn't know that my Runan County had been plagued by small disasters in the past two years, so that the people were displaced and the population dropped sharply, so the taxes issued were calculated according to the total population of previous years. ”
"The taxes paid by the previous ten people now need two people to bear them, which is the reason why everyone is overwhelmed, and this is all the fault of the county, so I understand your righteous indignation, so I don't want to face each other."
Zhao Hanzhang sighed deeply and said: "Now that the culprit is dead, I am also willing to guarantee for you, and report to the imperial court to recheck this year's taxes." ”
"I can swear that if I can't correct your name, then I will let you all move to Xiping County and protect you with the Zhao family, how about it?"
The Zhao family is the largest family in Runan County, and it is also the most famous, and its name is much better than Zhao Hanzhang.
In many places, it is normal for the common people to recognize the wealthy family and not the emperor.
Although Chen Wan was not from Runan County, he also knew the prestige of the Zhao family in Runan County, so he glanced back at the people who were excited, and finally nodded.
The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth were lightly raised, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Then please put down your weapons first." ”
Chen Wan thought for a while, threw the big knife in his hand forward, and as soon as he put down his weapon, the people behind him followed suit.
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward, grabbed Chen Wan's hand, and laughed loudly: "Okay, Chen Yishi is worthy of being a righteous man, and I also ask the righteous to go with my guard, so that the righteous soldiers in the city can lay down their weapons and follow our people out of the city to wait, how about it?" ”
Chen Wan squinted, "Out of the city?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang said meaningfully: "Yes, go out of the city, otherwise how can I send Sun Xian Ling away?" ”
