"We're not talking nonsense, you're really not our child."

After speaking, the old couple pushed away the bamboo bed where the peacock slept, groped on the floor a little, and lifted the floor with a click, and inside was a floor mezzanine that was sunken inward, and they took out the things inside and displayed them in front of everyone.

Yue Guanchao looked at it, this was a brocade box the size of a bowl, and a piece of jade pendant appeared in it, as well as a piece of cloth that had been folded into squares.

Jin Qinghua took out the jade pendant and displayed it in the sun, this jade pendant is crystal clear throughout, the texture is warm, crisp as glass, the surface has a pale cotton wool pattern, the group-shaped jade pendant is carved as a cow's head, and there are many phoenix tails around it, and the silver wire is carved and nested, showing the cow's head and phoenix flowers clearly.

Tut-tut, see the phoenix flowers again!

Yue Guanchao recalled the past, the last time he saw something related to phoenix flowers was in Wu Coffin Town, the combination of phoenix flowers and ox heads is not at all like the Central Plains style, and the Miao silver border is even more exotic, they unconsciously concentrated, and they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, perhaps, Ren Peacock and Su Shen also have some connections.

Song Siyuan knew the relationship here, so she simply asked: "Jin Xianxian, since the peacock is not your child, then she must have parents." ”

"We don't know her parents, and we don't even know where she came from, but the master brought her to us and stored it here!"

Wow, this sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Ren Peacock so much that he couldn't close his eyes for a long time, broke the cup at a loss, and the ground was instantly sprinkled with tea.

"We don't know about other things for the time being, but we can tell you from beginning to end how we took over and raised you back then!"

Jin Qinghua finished cleaning the broken water cup, pulled Ren Peacock to sit on the bamboo bed, and returned to thirty years ago, recalling the truth of the experience back then.

About 30 years ago, Xiangxi under the leadership of the trial bureau to suppress bandits in full swing, the people only have two roads, either to fall into the grass for the government to confront the government, or to join the army, become a regimental training security soldier, only 35 years old Ren Wude, is the second leader of the Black Blind Mountain in Huayuan County, his subordinates lead a total of no less than 2,000 people, is a well-known bandit.

When the limelight is in full swing, not to mention the people of more than a dozen mountains near Huayuan County, even the prince of Huayuan County has to give face, and he doesn't dare to move his fists to stand up.

There is a saying that rats are afraid of cats and dogs chasing rabbits, there are many things in the world, and any Taoist official in the world is bigger than a bandit, but this sentence is in Xiangxi, just like a dumb artillery battle, it doesn't work.

Here, the most special, even more than 20 counties in Xiangxi, including Huayuan, are all bandit nests established by the remnants of the Taiping Kingdom, and these remnants either directly gather forces to cause trouble, or they play the banner of official arrest and rebellion, and entangle the common people who are not satisfied with the government to fight against the officials.

In short, there is a cottage in ten miles, a bandit village in a hundred miles, hundreds of people in the small bandit village, and tens of thousands of people in the larger bandit village, it is rumored that the largest bandit village in Xiangxi was the Qingtian Gang in Longshan County, and the bandit leader Yang Sucheng and Zhai Bojie had about 30,000 bandits, and when they fought with other bandits, it was common to kill thousands of people.

This is only the number of the largest gang in Longshan County, if you count all the bandits in Xiangxi, the number is not less than one million.

With so many people being bandits, it can almost be said that there are bandits in every family, and if a few poles are pulled into the five suits, a dozen relatives who go up the mountain to become bandits can always be pulled out.

Whenever the trial bureau and the regiment train to suppress bandits, some bandits can always get the news in advance, so that the bandits are not clear to exterminate, and the punishment is inexhaustible, and there is a trial bureau in Xiangxi, if the people can't survive, then they can only go up the mountain and fall into the grass, so that the reputation of "the ancient road does not exist, and the people's hearts are drowning" is well known.

If the local Tusi is still there, it may still be able to manage the chaos of the people, but after the change of land and return to the stream, the power of the Tusi has been greatly reduced, but he has no intention or ability to dare to manage the people.

The burden of assisting in the suppression of bandits finally fell on the rogue officials sent by the former government government!

What is a liuguan?

As early as before the land was changed and returned to the stream, the feudal dynasty would often seal the local family or force that dominated one side as officials, which not only encircled them but also told them to submit to the meaning of obedience, called local officials.

After the land was changed and repatriated, the local officials no longer participated in the local administration, and the liuguan sent by the imperial court to the minority areas often had a term limit, and they had to be transferred when the time came.

In this case, when a county magistrate arrives in a certain county in Xiangxi, it is a foreign household who is not familiar with the place, and the local household is the master of the county government, the account office, the six-room scribe, the Xu official, and the servant, most of these people are from the local area, the brother dies and the brother dies, the father dies and the son succeeds, and sometimes they will marry each other, forming an intricate network of relationships in the county.

When the county magistrate first arrived at the county office, he couldn't even recognize the names of the county officials, and he had to count on the master when he spoke and did things, even if he really wanted to do practical things, he had to weigh whether he had the skill to govern the county with iron and blood, if he didn't have that skill, he could only be forced to live idle, and he could be transferred away at the end of his term.

The only official business that the county magistrate of Xiangdi could not avoid was to assist in the suppression of bandits, and the imperial court sent them for the purpose of helping the regimental training camp to eliminate the bandits.

There is a saying that the court opens its mouth, the county official runs and breaks his leg, and the court hates the bandits, that is the emperor is far away, and he can't threaten their heads, but the county lord is an official in Xiangxi, does he dare to suppress the bandits with great fanfare?

If you want to suppress the bandits today, tomorrow's bandit village will have to be emptied, and after the investigation, the county government master is confused, the officials protect each other, and no one knows who leaked the news.

This is just a timid bandit village, if there is a bandit village that is more arrogant than the county government, and even dare to call the county master a board, before, there was a county master in Qingxi County named Sun Yinglong, this person is a soldier background, after coming to Qingxi County, he saw that the people's customs did not exist, so he was ready to take drastic measures to suppress the bandits.

How do you know, all of his countermeasures have been leaked into the ears of the bandit leader by people with a heart, and the bandits have been suppressed again and again, and in the end, not only did they not suppress the bandits, but also called the bandit leader to threaten them.

That day, he was about to rest, and a dart flew in at the head of the bed, and when he opened the letter, it was his Sun Yinglong's surname and family.

This time, Sun Yinglong was regarded as serving the bandit leader, not only did he not dare to suppress the bandit again, but also specially called the bandit village a brother, and this matter spread to the capital of the former dynasty and became a joke for a while.

is so heavy, and the liuguan also knows that the bandits in Hunan are not easy to provoke, and when they get to the place, they don't dare to mention the matter of suppressing bandits for the sake of this pig's tail head, and they can train and train officials in the county, so that the people will be robbed a few times, and they will already be worthy of the old queen.

Some people died, but not completely......
