Chapter 080: Catching Thieves and Conquering the State

Listened to the words of Emperor Chengde.

Qiu Shi'an couldn't help but praise, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"What's so wise about this?"

Emperor Chengde waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a clear plan, Uncle Zhongyong swept the face of the Emperor Taishang in front of the Gyeonggi camp that day, this is to make up for it!"

But Uncle Zhong Yong really has to be glad, glad that I am not the lord of suspicion by nature, so that this discord plan is useless!"

Listening to Emperor Chengde's words, Qiu Shi'an couldn't help but shrink his neck.

His Majesty the Emperor of his own family is really out of sight, and he arranges the Emperor Taishang to listen to himself in person!

Is this something that a little eunuch can listen to?

Not to mention Qiu Shi's peace of mind, he trembled.

Dragon chair.

Emperor Chengde thought about it, and then ordered Qiu Shi'an to say: "I don't need anyone to serve me here for the time being, Qiu Companion is idle, so go to the palace gate to take a turn, don't let my loyal and brave uncle think nonsense!"

"Commandment!"

Qiu Shi'an complied.

While breathing a sigh of relief in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh that Emperor Chengde valued and loved Jia Cong.

This is Jane in the emperor's heart!

…………

Meanwhile.

Just when the Shenjing City was happily preparing to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Bazhou in the south of Shuntian Mansion was about to have a big event......

In the first month, the north wind of the call sign makes the weather in early spring even colder and more unbearable.

In a nameless cottage.

The cold wind for days made the already simple nameless cottage more and more unbearable.

On the rugged path in the mountains, a tall and thin figure wearing a broken felt hat was rushing into the cottage with a deep foot and a shallow foot in the biting cold wind.

The old jacket that has been mended and mended on his body seems to be of no use in the howling north wind......

I finally came to the door of the cottage.

Looking at the gate made of wooden sticks thick with a small arm, this man raised his leg and kicked it over, and the wooden door, which was already rough and rotten, where could it withstand such a kick?

Just listen to the "bang" after that.

The wooden door was kicked open and slammed against the nearby fence wall.

Without bothering to close the wooden door again, the man dragged his already frozen body and quickly got into a small cabin in front of him.

In the cottage.

Several destroyed and marked horses were leaning together to keep warm, and the strong smell of horse manure lingered for a long time.

In the middle of the house was a huge tile basin, and the fire was blazing inside, trying to warm the small wooden house that was leaking from all sides.

On the earthen kang by the window.

Five or six bearded men sat around with a few quilts stained with black blood, enjoying a rare touch of warmth in the cold wind.

"Bang!"

The tall and thin figure hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Sixth brother and seventh brother, it's not good!"

The figure went straight to the two people led by him, and said, "The supervising imperial history sent by the Dog Imperial Court arrested the two elder brothers' family rolls last night, and also released a rumor, saying that they want to tell you to quickly confess your sins and surrender the law!"

"What?!"

An exclamation.

Several people in the room all set their eyes on the innermost man.

The man was only in his early thirties this year, but his old face and wrinkles made him look like a young man in his forties.

At this moment, when the "little old man" heard the news of Jia Juan being arrested, his face couldn't help but show a little pain and sadness.

The face of the person next to him changed greatly, Huo Ran got up and said, "How dare the dog officials? Do you really think that the big knife in Grandpa Liu Chen's hand is unfavorable?!"

"Why wouldn't they dare?"

The "little old man" had a gloomy face, "This is because we are not well-informed about our brothers during the New Year's Festival, so we dare to act presumptuously and detain the family to blackmail us!"

Liu Chen's mind suddenly moved.

He suggested, "Big brother, since it's that dog

Hand first, let's just go into the city, tie up a few dignitaries, and ask them to exchange people, how about it?"

"It's not good, since people dare to do it, they must be prepared not to let us into the city, and rushing to go can only give him the merit of giving him the head."

"What then?"

Liu Chen suddenly became a little anxious, "Big brother, our old lady is still in their hands, in case there is a mistake......

"No whatever!"

The "little old man" glared at Liu Chen.

Said: "Arrest people and arrest people, but as long as my Liu Pet does not die for a day, no one will dare to do anything to the old lady, otherwise my brothers and sisters will be ruthless without care, and even the superintendent of the imperial history will not be able to afford it!"

I'll take care of this myself, don't worry."

In the firelight, the "little old man" Liu Pet's expression was gloomy, and his words were loud.

Looked at.

Liu Chen, who had been shouting to kill into the city, suddenly died down, muttered a few times, and said, "Then I'll listen to my eldest brother!"

Hearing this, the messenger hesitated for a while.

Only then did he say in a bitter voice: "So that the two brothers know that when I got the news this morning, I heard that the old man was unbearable in prison last night and had already gone to ......

「……」

Unlike the joyful and peaceful celebration scene in Shenjing City, where there was singing and dancing, this small room was as silent as death at this time.

Long.

Liu Pet, who had been silently roasting the fire, stood up.

"Kill my mother, those dog officials will be ready to pay for blood debts, it seems that we robbed the rich and helped the poor in the past, and we got into the money bags of these officials.

Since they refused to let us live, everyone simply turned against him and killed him upside down!"

When the words fell, the rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and shouted in unison, "That's right, let's do the opposite!" Kill the fucking dog!"

The man who delivered the letter shrank a little and said, "Just a few of us, can we make it?"

Liu Pet said: "The Ma Zheng of the Daqian Imperial Court is harsh and heavy, how many people in our township alone can't survive, and they can only survive by relying on our help?

And the rest of the townships are even worse, there are not a few people who sell men and women to pay fines, just someone needs to climb up and shout!

We only need to put up the banner, and we will inevitably follow the clouds, and what will be the Bazhou at that time? If you can reap the wealth of a lifetime, it is worth dying!"

Outside, the north wind howled, and there was silence in the cabin.

Long.

"Gollum ......"

In the endless firelight, the sound of several people swallowing saliva was clearly audible......

……

To say that this Beizhili area is the important place of the Great Qian Imperial Court.

Since the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure the supply of border horses, the imperial court has been forcing some farmers in the northern Zhili prefectures to act as horse breeders.

That's right, it's a forcible order!

It is important to know that the burden of forced labor on horse breeders is extremely heavy, not only delaying agricultural production, but also compensating for the loss when the horses they raise die or the stallions do not breed enough......

This has caused many impoverished horse households to sell their land and property, men and women, in order to make up for the shortage of horse breeding tasks, which is really miserable!

If it is said that the trouble in the south of the Yangtze River is the most, then the trouble in Hebei is the most horse!

In addition, it is close to Beijing, which is the place where the bureaucrats and landlords abuse, all kinds of land annexation are violent, the exploitation and oppression at the bottom can be called cruel, and it is not uncommon to fall into the grass and even kill officials and rebel.

And so.

The "Imperial History of Catching Thieves", which specializes in suppressing uprisings and exterminating mountain bandits, came into being, and the above-mentioned supervision of the Imperial History is this position.

In order to be effective, these "robbers and royal histories" often use some extremely cruel and high-pressure methods, suppressing massacres and other things are commonplace, and Shiwu has suffered countless casualties under the law.

After the establishment of the Great Qian, due to the endless battles with the Tatars and Warats all the year round, the shortage of war horses increased unabated compared with the previous Ming Dynasty.

So this is a good horse

The system has also been inherited.

In previous years, when the harvest was good, the horse households were still able to bear the heavy burden of forced labor.

However, in recent years, due to the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, the production of fields in various places has begun to be reduced on a large scale, but the task of taxation and horse breeding has not been reduced at all, and the people are miserable.

Coupled with the heavy snowfall in the past two years, these people have been completely forced to a dead end......
