Chapter 85: The Complaint

Mizhi County, suburbs.

More than 30,000 people gathered here, all relocated from the town, crowded into makeshift tents like a prisoner camp.

Not only here, within a radius of 100 miles, Belin set up a total of more than ten resettlement sites, each of which was guarded by 3,000 battalions of soldiers, and tens of thousands of people who did not know the truth were forced to move out of the town, and they were angry for a while.

During this period, Jiang Wenke, the prefect of Yulin, personally came to check on the situation.

In his opinion, just based on a false guess, it is necessary to make such a big move, working the people and losing money, isn't this nonsense?

As a result, before he finished two sentences, he was scolded by Belin.

Jiang Wenke was so angry that when he returned to Yulin, he immediately wrote a letter to impeach Belin, and sent 600 li to expedite it.

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.

Since ancient times, people have rarely been willing to leave their homes.

What's more, it's snowing now, and it's freezing cold.

However, Li Yan, the magistrate of the county, didn't think so, because he would really lose his head.

He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the murderous aura emanating from those sergeants.

Therefore, seeing that the county magistrate was playing with his life, the errand officer below had no choice but to show his vicious side, almost breaking into the house, and being extremely rude.

Only then did the people reluctantly walk out of the door, carry their burdens, and follow the officials out of the city to take refuge.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of people gathered in the suburbs, and everywhere they were crying for their fathers and mothers, and the soldiers were like bandits.

In particular, some large households have suffered the most.

Ordinary people, it can be said that they have no long things, and they will hide for a while if they hide for a while, after all, the government also promised relief food.

But big families, after all, have a large population, so many mansions and fields are thrown here?

God knows if it's gone, it's empty, and no one will be mindful of it.

If in the past, Li Yan, the magistrate of the county, also had to give the local gentry a few thin noodles, but now it is not possible, life and face are more important!

Therefore, the servants all launched a ruthless attack, directly broke the door, and pulled people away.

But whenever there was resistance, 3,000 battalions came up.

The gentry were terrified.

I've never seen it so ruthless!

The trembling gentry had to be obediently guarded by the government and taken to a temporary shelter in the suburbs.

In a tent that looked quite spacious, dozens of gentry gathered in one place and whispered, venting their dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

In fact, ordinary natural disasters do not have much impact on them.

After all, they are landlords, and the landlord's family has surplus grain, and even if there is a real earth movement, they can completely cope with it.

Not only that, but after the disaster, the price of grain tends to rise, and although they have no harvest this year, the price of grain in previous years has been several times higher, or even more than ten times.

Ordinary small people, as soon as the disaster year will go bankrupt, in order to survive, they have to borrow, this is a loan with rolling interest, lend out a bucket of rice, children and grandchildren to pay back, but I am afraid that they will not be able to pay it off.

In a year of calamity, it is much easier to annex land when you have food and silver in your hands.

"Hey, this is the official forcing the people to rebel!"

The person who spoke was called Liu Jiangwu, who was a Jinshi in Yongle for five years, and he was quite prestigious in this place.

The other gentry looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Liu Jiangwu shook his head and said: "The old man has lived for most of his life, and he has never heard of the fact that there is still land movement on the yellow earth?" The government suddenly moved us here, what is this going to do? It is said that the current emperor is a good emperor, how can there be such a will? We are all law-abiding people, and we have suffered such an unwarranted disaster, eh, this day ...... But how can I get by, the old man's house, no one is taking care of it now, God knows if there will be any thieves who are worried about it, cough cough ......"

The more Liu Jiangwu spoke, the more excited he became, and he coughed desperately.

"Mr. Liu, that's it, the government has always been to bully the people, and now it is the emperor's personal decree, what can we do?"

The crowd was silent.

The man was speechless, shuddered, and did not continue.

It's still a lot of noise outside.

The county sent people to put porridge, but the victims scolded again, because everything was too urgent, and the county could not bring much food.

Liu Jiangwu ate this clear soup and almost stomped his feet: "That Li Zhixian has always been respectful to us, but this time, he is ruthless, hum!" ”

"Yes, I wanted to see him several times, but he refused to see him, I don't know what this means."

"This is a harm to the people, I heard that some people refused to leave, and were beaten half to death by the officers."

Liu Jiangwu trembled angrily, and the bowl fell with a clatter, and shards were splashed everywhere.

"The old man doesn't believe it, there is no justice in this world, old man...... The old man is going to sue the royal court! ”

"Look at what you said, the holy decree is the emperor's will, who are you suing?"

Liu Jiangwu thought for a while and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu is a rare virtuous king, so let's do it, the old man has a nephew who is on an errand in the ministry, why don't I wait for me to repair a letter, everyone signed it, and then ordered someone to send it to the capital quickly, so that the old man's nephew can go to find the king of Yu, what do you think?" ”

Suddenly, someone hesitated, no matter how big the king is, he can't be as big as the emperor!

The more Liu Jiangwu thought about it, the more angry he became, ordered someone to take a pen and paper, and looked at the other gentry: "What do you say?" ”

"We ...... We ......"

"This is for the sake of tens of thousands of people, can you stand by and watch?"

"Okay, count me in."

"That'...... Count me in! ”

Seeing that someone responded, Liu Jiangwu said that he would do it, and began to write with a pen.

The crowd seemed to be encouraged, and they stepped forward and looked down at what was written in the letter.

Suddenly, someone said timidly: "This ...... This...... Mr. Liu, this letter is too explicit, can you be tactful? ”

Liu Jiangwu shouted angrily: "What dare you not say, since we have read the book and understand the reason, we need to fight the righteous death......

While scolding, he rubbed the paper and threw it away, and took out a new one.

Everyone sighed: "Mr. Fang is an upright person!" ”

After writing it, he handed the letter to the servant and ordered him to send it to the capital as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although the 3,000 battalion was strictly watched, it was only forbidden to enter the city, and those who went out did not care at all.

At night, the shelter is still in shambles.

I heard that the county town was empty, and some bandits took the opportunity to go and clean up a wave.

I don't know how many people, thinking about home in their hearts, but gathered in this bad place, looking at the snow with tears streaming down their faces, choked up and speechless.

Liu Jiangwu only lived here for more than a day before he fell ill.

In addition to being depressed, more importantly, it is impossible to adapt to these humble conditions.

It was late at night, but he couldn't sleep at all, leaning on the bed, looking at the direction of the county, and couldn't help but cry: "My body, I'm afraid I can't bear it, eh, how can the world become so sinister......"

He sighed as he spoke.

"The emperor is gullible about the traitors around him, the hard days are still to come, don't give us a way to live!"

Many people were scolded by him, and they all lowered their heads and cried.

A soldier of the 3,000th battalion saw that there was a situation and wanted to come forward, but was stopped by another man.

Because Belin had already commanded, here, the people should not be blamed for how they like to scold.

So many pretended to be deaf and dumb and dispersed.

Liu Jiangwu's scolding seemed to have detonated the powder keg, and all kinds of scolding were heard throughout the night.

At dawn, Liu Jiangwu pointed to the dark sky and scolded hoarsely: "Without saying a word, he moved the people and made people wander, is this still a good emperor, the old man has not lived for a few years, and the old man wants to ask, you God, do you still let people live?" ”

Bang!

At this point, all of a sudden, the earth shook!

Everyone froze.

Liu Jiangwu's frightened face turned pale.

The body trembled violently, and then the crutches fell to the ground, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Thundered......

There was another muffled sound, and it seemed that the sky had fallen!

The ground was shaking, and tents were collapsing, but these were temporary structures, and it didn't hurt to hit anyone.

All of a sudden, the camp was surprisingly quiet.

"Quick!"

I only heard Liu Jiangwu shouting like crazy: "Go to someone and chase the letter back!" ”
