At the foot of the barren mountains in Binh Duong County, from a distance, a few thatched huts made of wood stand alone on the side.

In front of the thatched house, a fence made of bamboo slices is so rotten that only a few bare bamboo poles remain. There are a few vegetables planted in the fence, and they are also skinny.

At this moment, a young man with an angry face rushed out of it, carrying a pair of halberds in his hand, but was desperately held by a woman in the thatched house.

"Son, you can't go, if you go, your life is gone." The woman shouted.

"Mom! Even if I die, I'm going to die to death his dog-raised minions! The young man struggled violently, but he did not dare to use his strength lest he hurt the woman.

At this time, a man dressed as a common man came forward, saluted the woman, and said, "Sister-in-law, excuse me! I don't know what grievances the little brother has, can you talk to me? ”

The woman wiped away her tears, but she was embarrassed, and said again and again: "There is no grievance, we are just fighting." ”

But the young man scolded: "Grievances? This Pingyang County is controlled by Su County, my family originally had three acres of land, but it was forcibly robbed by the Su family, my father was beaten to death, my mother was about to starve to death, and this small vegetable garden was left, and she even had to pay taxes! ”

The young man was so angry that he threw the halberd to the ground, "We can't survive, I'll go to them and fight hard, kill one is enough, kill two and I will take revenge." ”

Passers-by smiled and said: "Little brother, now there is good news, you can buy two acres of land for two pennies, and you don't need to pay taxes this year." Are you willing to buy it? ”

The young man was surprised and asked, "Is this true?" Don't lie to me, I don't recognize people with my halberd! ”

The passer-by did not change his face, and said solemnly: "How can I deceive people, I don't believe you,"

As he spoke, the passer-by took out a wooden sign from his waist, which was engraved with four words: "The black-clothed guard" glanced at the young man, and then withdrew it from his waist.

"The Black Praetorian Guard? Someone in the palace? But the young man also knew a few words, and when he saw this card, he believed a little and asked, "This big brother, are you the person in front of the emperor?" Where is the field that can be bought for two pennies? ”

The passer-by nodded with a smile and said: "The field is in the Xiao family in Pingyang County, the Xiao family was arrested because they committed a big crime, and the rest escaped from Pingyang County." The emperor sent us to visit the destitute people, and as long as two pennies could buy two acres of fertile land for the Xiao family. ”

"Never lie to me?" The young man asked.

Passers-by also replied solemnly: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

The young man laughed and said, "Mother! I, Dian Wei, not only have to buy two acres of land, but also follow this eldest brother to be a janissary guard and defend this good emperor! ”

As he spoke, the young man Dian Wei picked all the vegetables in the vegetable garden; Not long after going up the mountain, I hunted a pheasant, boiled the vegetables with the pheasant, and after a while, a large pot was stewed.

The young man Dian Wei forcibly pressed the woman to the main seat, served a large pot of dishes, and the three of them were satisfied. Then, Dian Wei packed two bags, carried a pair of halberds, lit the thatched hut with a fire, and followed the black-clothed guard laughing.

......

Three days are fast approaching.

Liu Na took two thousand black-clothed guards to guard the entire garrison majestically.

Emperor Ling bathed and changed clothes, changed into the emperor's formal clothes, and sat in the big tent.

Su Dazhi and Master also arrived here with more than a thousand people dressed in tatters.

Emperor Ling walked out of the big tent, everyone knelt down when they saw this, and shouted long live, Emperor Ling had begun to get used to such a scene, he stretched out his hand, and after everyone was flattened, he came to Su Dazhi.

"Master Su, are these people destitute?" The Spirit Emperor asked quietly.

"Back to Your Majesty," Su Dazhi said respectfully, "These are people who have no land and no houses around Pingyang County. The formalities are complete and well documented. ”

"Oh! Is it? Emperor Ling took Yang Feng and Wang Yue and slowly walked among these tattered crowds, and Su Dazhi and his master were anxiously accompanying him.

These people were not surprised to see the emperor, and some dared to boldly look at this young emperor.

Emperor Ling approached, took the hands of a "common people", and looked at it carefully. These hands have fine skin and tender flesh, and there is still some ink color and ink fragrance where the brush is held in the right hand.

"Have you read "The Spring and Autumn Biography of Zuo"?" The Spirit Emperor asked unexpectedly.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have read it...... I can't write, I don't know how to read, I haven't read. The man didn't expect the Spirit Emperor to ask him, but the Spirit Emperor asked him that the preface and the back words were incorrect, and cold sweat flowed down.

"Come, invite this destitute man to the big tent." Emperor Ling spoke calmly.

Su Dazhi's face began to sweat.

Emperor Ling came to a tall man again, patted him on the shoulder, touched his strong muscles, smiled at him, and asked:

"How many bowls of rice can you eat in one meal?"

The tall man was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people only eat one meal a day, and they eat a small bowl of rice at one meal. ”

Emperor Ling said: "If you have rice to eat, it's not bad, how often do you eat meat?" ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people have never eaten meat." The strong man replied cautiously.

"Good! What a good citizen of me! Emperor Ling said, "Invite this strong man to the big tent." ”

After a while, Emperor Ling "invited" nearly 300 people out of the more than 1,000 people, all of whom were guarded by black-clothed guards in front of the big tent.

Hearing only a "poof", Su Dazhi knelt on his knees and cried: "Your Majesty spares your life, the minister is ineffective, let these rich people get in, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"What sin are you guilty of? Aren't these people destitute? Emperor Ling asked.

Su Dazhi borrowed the words of Emperor Ling and said casually: "Your Majesty is wise, the criminal ministers really don't know that they are rich and noble people, their procedures are all fake, they have deceived the criminal ministers, and even deceived Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"That's okay, let's do it according to Su Aiqing, come here, arrest all these people who rely on procedures, beat each of them with thirty sticks, and confiscate all their fields." The Spirit Emperor calmly gave orders to the black-clothed guards.

The black-clothed guard howled, grabbed several people with fine skin and tender flesh, pressed them on them, and slapped their buttocks with big sticks, and every time they went down, those people screamed in pain.

The man with ink on his hands was beaten only ten times, and his buttocks were already stained with blood, so painful that he shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, I confess, I confess!" ”

"Say, who told you to forge the formalities?" Emperor Ling asked majestically.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Weichen, the minister is also a filial piety, but he was forced by Lord Su to come here to cheat the emperor's silver."

"Your Majesty, don't believe him!" Su Dazhi hurriedly knelt on the ground at this time, crawled over, hugged Emperor Ling's legs, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, what he said is a lie, I don't know him!" ”

As soon as Emperor Ling raised his hand, a black-clothed guard stepped forward and dragged Su Dazhi, who kept shouting grievances.

The more than 300 people around who were pointed out by Emperor Ling looked at each other, and couldn't help regretting it in their hearts, they were all Su Dazhi's right-hand men, and after the matter was completed, he promised to give them ten taels of silver each.

People die for money, these people think that the Spirit Emperor is just a 13-year-old child, what kind of recognition ability can they have, and they can be deceived casually. Therefore, he agreed to Su Dazhi's request.

Who would have thought that this little emperor would be so wise and decisive.

"Your Majesty, we were all persecuted by Su Dazhi, we were wronged." More than 300 people knelt down together and begged for mercy.

"Huh?" Su Dazhi hadn't figured out how to deal with Emperor Ling's questioning, but these people sold Su Dazhi in an instant.

Su Dazhi's head was dizzy, his eyes rolled white, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

The master beside Su Dazhi sighed heavily and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this matter is all for the criminals to give advice to Master Su, and the responsibility is all borne by the grass people." Please! ”

Emperor Ling asked, "You are the master who gave Su Dazhi a plan?" ”

The master said calmly: "Emperor Qiqi is the sinner. ”
