Li Tai is not indiscriminate, except for the Zhuang Ding who was killed when he attacked the manor, after entering the village, he only killed the Lei family and the Zhuang Ding who had killed the members of the Dushui family.

It's just that the Lei family is prosperous, and there are more than 20 people left in the village, plus more than a dozen murderers who were recognized by the villagers, so this pile of corpses looks a bit cruel.

Li Tai no longer had the arrogance of standing on the wall and shouting, and saluted Yang Shaochang, and then said in a deep voice: "I didn't dare to publicize the crime in public before, just because there was still a secret because the subordinates were killed. There was a breakthrough before, and several people had entered the county government to report an emergency, but they were escorted by the county officials and were killed.

This matter is all the evidence, I don't dare to ask the details of the county personnel, but the evil is not exhausted, the heart is still full of indignation, I implore Yang to make Jun can return this unjust death to justice, I will be the capital of the water group must remember the kindness of the king! ”

When Yang Shao heard this, his face changed again, and he didn't care about reprimanding Li Tai for killing too much, but said in a deep voice: "Quickly attract all the witnesses!" No, no, I'll interrogate you! ”

After Li Tai heard this, he cleaned a spare room in the village, invited Yang Shao to sit down, and asked people to summon the villager.

Yang Shao summoned more than a dozen Zhuang people in a row, and after a long while, he came out with a heavy face, bowed to Li Taishen, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Li Lang for my reputation, it is indeed extremely evil for the villagers to collude with the county officials and commit violence in the township!" If Li Lang believes me, please leave this matter to me, and never let your subordinates die in vain! ”

"If I don't trust the envoy, I won't ride into the county lightly, and I will go to Xingcheng first to take advantage of the situation. The country thief is arrogant, how can this be the case? I also know that this matter cannot be attributed to the king, the situation in the township is twisted and secretly woven, covered up inside and outside, who can see clearly if it is not a person in this net? ”

When Li Tai heard this, he said that he was also shocked when he learned the news from Zhuang's mouth.

Although he didn't plan to give up, he also knew that he couldn't go directly to the county magistrate.

Yang Shao is not innocent, and he doesn't know, but after all, he is a county guard selected by the imperial court, and he is also from Guan Longhaoqiang, so he will not be in the same stream as a township tyrant, so he decided to fight for Yang Shao.

"Alas, I'm really ashamed, I didn't expect to condone evil in the county for a few years!"

It is not a decent thing for subordinate officials to collude with Haoqiang, and it is not a decent thing to be discovered until they are denounced by others, Yang Shao sighed with shame again: "There are indeed many obstacles in governing here, and in addition to the treacherous and evil in the township, there are still Jihu who frequently disturb the realm. Morale is useless, and sometimes they have to rely on the township force to assist in defense, so they dare not observe. ”

He turned his eyes to the side, motioned for Li Tai to go to a remote place, and then said: "This thief Lei is a Qiang person who lives in this realm, and another clan lives in Jingzhou.

Later, he often made Jun turn to the town of Wuyuan, and the army was garrisoned in Yanchi, and many Qiang disciples followed. Due to the urgency of the northern defense army, he asked for a visit to the wealthy clan of Neizhou County, and this Lei was also introduced by the same clan and listed as a permanent envoy. Since then, he has been losing materials to help the army, and he has become more and more rebellious in the township......"

"Xi'an Prefecture is far to the north, so it can transfer the material resources of Beihuazhou?"

Li Tai was a little strange when he heard this, although Chang Shan is the opening of the mansion, you Beihua Prefecture is not nothing, so you tolerate him stepping on the line?

After Yang Shao heard this, he sighed again: "Li Lang, you live in a lot of land, and you don't know much about the affairs of Chaozhou County. All the states and counties in the north are just convenient names that have been roughly listed by orders. Wherever it is governed, except for this city defense, most of the realm is a wasteland, and there is no order at all.

What the blade points to, the sound can reach, and the king's flag is not covered, which is the outside. Where there is governance, the household is hastily organized, and the governor of the state and county only raises soldiers to prevent thieves. The people depend on it, and there is no nationality and reliability at all. The armaments of the states are not prosperous, and only with the help of the surrounding countries can they be autonomous and ......"

Li Tai's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Last year, a number of envoys from North China Prefecture attacked Jihu and won bravely?" ”

Yang Shao couldn't find anyone to talk to for a long time, and when he heard Li Tai's question, he began to introduce the situation in detail again.

At present, the biggest problem plaguing the rule of northern Shaanxi is mainly Jihu.

There are many Jihu ethnic groups, widely distributed on the plateau of northern Shaanxi, because they belong to the mixed genus, so they are often named after their settlements and activities. Just around Fucheng County, there are Jihu tribes such as the withered Yin Hu, the Heishui Hu, and the Beishan Hu.

These Jihu tribes are widely distributed among the mountains, forests and ravines of the northern Shaanxi Plateau, and the small ones are a tribe of dozens or hundreds of people, and the large ones gather tens of thousands. These Jihu are usually half-farming and half-pastoral, and are very good at dabbling, and often plunder people and materials.

The core of the Western Wei was only in the Guanzhong Plain, and because it was often at war with the Eastern Wei in the Heluo area, the main military forces were also deployed along this route. Therefore, for the northern plateau and mountain ranges, the dominating power that can be invested is not large.

In addition, the Eastern Wei Dynasty failed to occupy a geographical advantage in the Hedong region, and the Jinyang region of its ruling core was close to the Hetao region of northern Shaanxi, so it often fanned the Jihu tribes in the realm to cause rebellion.

For example, Cao Ni, who was in turmoil in Lingzhou in the early years of the Great Unification, belonged to Cao Erchenghu, the east and west of Jihu. When Cao Ni first rebelled, he was pacified by Li Hu, but the Western Wei court did not kill him, and still kept him in Lingzhou.

In the second year, Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty sent men and horses to directly capture Xiazhou, and Cao Ni also took the opportunity to rebel again, leading his subordinates to surrender directly to the Eastern Wei, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty settled these Jihu subordinates in its territory.

Xiazhou can be said to be the starting point of Yuwentai's hegemony, he led his troops south to take over He Bayue's forces when he was appointed as the assassin of Xiazhou, and became the new overlord of Guanzhong.

As a result, this land of Longxing was once attacked by the Eastern Wei, which shows the weakness of the Western Wei's power in the north. Therefore, he and Gao Huan are a pair of old enemies, he poked people's lung tubes in Hedong, and Gao Huan knocked on his Tianling cover in northern Shaanxi.

It can be said that the Western Wei Dynasty's rule in northern Shaanxi had only a limited number of towns and cities, and in the vast area outside these military strongholds, Jihu was the real master.

But fortunately, these tribes do not have a strong unity of their own, and tend to operate only in their own regions. Some Hui attacked last year as part of the withered Hu that operated in the upper reaches of Luoshui, but the other Jihu tribes have not been greatly affected.

Although the Eastern Wei Dynasty co-opted and fanned a part of the Jihu tribes in northern Shaanxi, its territory itself was not peaceful, and there were also many Jihu tribes to the west of Fenshui. Gao Huan has never been addicted to the emperor in his life, but Jihu Liu Lisheng has been the emperor in Shanxi for more than ten years.

Although the Jihu regime collapsed, the power of Jihu still existed, and the Lishihu and Shilouhu on the west side of Luliang Mountain were all hostile forces operating under Gao Huan's nose.

Many people don't know what Gao Huan was doing after the Battle of Pishan, he was fighting Jihu, and Jihu in Luliang Mountain rebelled again. This problem had to be delayed until the Gaoyang period to be relatively completely solved, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was forced to directly pull up a Great Wall in Shanxi.

In short, the dog skin plaster of Jihu is a tenacious lake between the plateaus and mountains between the Eastern and Western Wei, and it is even longer than the two regimes of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi.

Yuwentai and Gao Huan, the two old enemies, basically except for making an appointment near Heluo, each took the time to do Ji Hu, and by the way, they plotted against Ji Hu in the territory.

After listening to Yang Shao's explanation, Li Tai also felt a little helpless. The more he learned, the more he felt that this joke was really a big trouble. Especially now that he is in charge of Luoshui, half of the Luoshui basin has Jihu activities.

At the moment, he's just listening to the fun, but before long, it's a problem he needs to face directly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be glad that he had killed this Lei family earlier, if he had a deeper understanding of the situation in the north, although he would still kill, but it was inevitable that there would be entanglements, and now at least he felt very cool at that time.

After all, if he wants to continue to develop in the upper reaches of Luoshui, he must cooperate with the local garrison, and a considerable part of these garrisons must be controlled by the Changshan of Xi'an Prefecture, and some of them are simply his soldiers.

Now that everyone has been killed and offended, there is no need to think about those frivolous questions. That Chang Shan can see the best by himself, and if he can't see Lao Tzu, he will deduct your military rations!

What's more, he also reached a cooperation with Li He, a local tyrant in Xiazhou, and he didn't have to worry about going north without assistance, but it was a little difficult to stretch his tentacles to Yanchi in Xi'an.

But other than that, he is not afraid of retaliation from the other party. That Chang Shan will not stay in Xi'an Prefecture forever, and when his power develops to the upper reaches, maybe the other party will be transferred out long ago, after all, the boss is serious about wiping his ass.

"Does Li Lang want to stay here, or do you want to return south?"

Yang Shao asked again, he really didn't want Li Tai to continue to stay, otherwise if Chang Shan asked someone to ask, he would have to be caught in the middle and be a difficult person.

"When I meet with the subordinates of this realm, I will lead the department to return to the office. I'm sorry for the nuisance. ”

Li Tai went north this time to take revenge and save people, and naturally he would not stay for a long time when the goal was achieved, but the personnel in this village still had to be finished, so he said again: "But the evidence of the personnel crimes in this village is collected by the county government, or is it ......."

"Except for the personnel certificates involved in the county affairs, the rest are all issued by Li Lang! Lei Mou is angry about the order of the water department, and he is even more bold to harm the envoys, and the county will never shield this thief! ”

Yang Shao hurriedly said that Li Tai did not expose his subordinates and subordinates for colluding with the villagers, so they naturally had a tacit understanding with each other. What's more, this Lei is still a protégé of Changshan in Xi'an, and he is also causing trouble when he intervenes.

Li Tai didn't think it was a trouble, just after a rough inventory of the manor's treasury, he knew that he had slaughtered a fat sheep, and now the Dushui Guancang was so poor that the rats were in tears, of course, he wanted to transport it back to enrich the treasury.

After agreeing with each other, Yang Shao did not stay for long, and left the manor to arrest the commander of the Nalei clan on the charge of transferring the township regiment without permission, and went to Pushan Temple where the Dushui subordinates were trapped with Li Tai's subordinates to lure people out.

The subordinates went and returned, but told Li Tai that Mao Shijian and others were inconvenient to come to the meeting, because this guy had killed a lot of monks in the temple in the past few days, and if he was taken over by the county government, he was afraid that there would be another twist and turn.
