Chapter 768: Intercede for the people
Feiyun asked, "Who is that hall master?" ”
The envoy replied, "It's a man named Lu Yuan." ”
Feiyun remembered that Lu Yuan was injured by Qin at that time, and said, "Is he unrepentant when he dies, or has he woken up?" ”
The envoy said: "This person is quite cooperative, and I will answer whatever I ask." However, he knew so little that he could not give any useful information. ”
Feiyun said, "If he has the intention of repenting, please let him live." Feiyun had a good impression of this person, so he wanted to help him.
The envoy asked curiously, "Do you have any relationship with him?" If you insist on letting him go, I'll give you face. ”
Feiyun said, "Thank you so much, sir. Then ask someone to bring him, and we will ask him together? Then the high-tempering envoy called for the bringing.
After a while, Lu Yuan was taken. Feiyun saw that his face was haggard and listless, so he said, "Don't come here to be harmed. ”
Lu Yuan was startled, looked up and saw that it was Feiyun, and said, "Childe, don't make fun of me." I've already said what I know. ”
Feiyun asked, "Then are you willing to change your ways?" Lu Yuan hurriedly replied, naturally willing. Bai Lu said that he still has a wife and children.
Lu Yuan hurriedly asked the adults to release him. He was not evil, but he was taken advantage of.
The envoy said: "For the sake of Lin Gongzi's face today, I will let you go once." If I don't repent, I'll be dead. ”
Lu Yuan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and said, "The villain doesn't dare, he must be an honest man in the future." There is absolutely no involvement in the rivers and lakes. The villain's family is in Tanzhou, and there are old and young, and they can't run. After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to Feiyun a few more times. Feiyun said: "Don't be evil in the future, if you only repent superficially, no one will be able to save you then." ”
Lu Yuan said: "This villain will take care of it." Thank you Childe for saving me. ”
Feiyun said to Gao Jiedu: "Then thank you for your success!" ”
Gao Jiedu envoy said: "Since you come forward to intercede, then let him leave with you, and I will also return to the capital." If you arrive in the capital, you can come to me. ”
Feiyun said: "If you go to the capital, you must go to meet the adults, and the grass people will say goodbye." So he went out of the palace with Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan said: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me, please let Gongzi follow Lu Yuan in the future." ”
Feiyun smiled: "Then there is no need, I don't have the money to hire a bodyguard." You have to provide for your family, and there is no point in following me. Say goodbye. Lu Yuan had no choice but to leave.
At this time, Liangchen and Meijing came over and asked, "Young Master, why did he come out?" ”
Feiyun said: "It's me who pleaded with the adult to spare him once, this person's nature is not bad, let's give him a chance." Why are you still here, didn't I tell you to go shopping? ”
Liangchen said: "We want to go shopping, and we have to accompany you." ”
Feiyun Liu Shui said: "It's okay, it's okay today anyway, so let's go shopping with the two beauties." The three of them walked slowly.
Feiyun didn't go around for long with Liangchen and the beautiful scenery, and Liangchen said that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. Feiyun thought it was strange, she was usually quite able to wander around. Then he asked, "Liangchen, are you uncomfortable?" I'm tired of being so tired today. ”
Liangchen smiled: "Young master, I have no strength, why don't you carry me on your back?" ”
Feiyun smiled and said, "Are you still a child?" I also have to carry it, and I am not shy. ”
Meijing said: "She wants the young master to lose some internal strength to her." ”
Liangchen said: "Or the beautiful scenery knows my mind, and the beautiful scenery also wants it, right?" ”
Feiyun smiled: "Do you think I am an internal force gathering pot?" ”
Liangchen and Meijing said in unison: "The young master is eccentric." ”
Feiyun asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" ”
Liangchen said: "Young master, do we really want to take Sister Lan Xing to the capital?" ”
Feiyun said: "Not bad. My business here has been completed, so there is no need to stay in Tanzhou. Besides, Lan Xing's matter, if you don't go to the capital, there is no way to solve it! Liangchen and Meijing heard that they could go to the capital with him, and they were naturally overjoyed.
While the three of them were talking, they returned to the inn. Liu Shui immediately told Tianxiang and the others that everyone would leave tomorrow. Everyone knows that the matter in Xiangmen is over, and Feiyun naturally wants to escort Lan Xing into Beijing.
Naturally, everyone had no objections, so they went their separate ways to prepare. Xu Xu Zhitang and others had long wanted to leave Tanzhou and send Lan Xing to Luoyang as soon as possible. They hadn't been home for a long time, so they naturally wanted to go home.
Feiyun was about to go to rest, but he heard a lot of noise outside. He hurriedly walked out of the door and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounding him in the distance. He walked over, only to see that it was Zhang Dahu who led people to surround hundreds of people. After Xu Qiong's death, Gao Jiedu promoted Zhang Dahu to command.
Zhang Dahu was shouting to the people: "Listen, the grain tax must be paid today, otherwise they will all be put in prison." "The people cried out for injustice. An elder stepped forward and said, "Official, we have already handed it in according to the regulations, why do we have to pay it again?" ”
Zhang Dahu said: "The imperial court has an urgent need, and you must comply with it, regardless of what you did last time." "Zhang Dahu took office as a new official, and he was eager to make contributions.
The old man said, "I really can't afford to pay it. Zhang Dahu shouted: "If you dare to resist, you will be punished." ”
The crowd shouted, "Doesn't the government want us to live?" The people were so angry that they took up sticks and sticks. The officers and men also unsheathed their swords and drew their bows and arrows, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.
Seeing that the people were intent on making trouble, Zhang Dahu waved his sword and shouted: "Archers prepare!" ”
Feiyun saw that the situation was critical, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop." ”
After Feiyun finished shouting, he jumped up with his internal force, turned over in the air, and fell between the people and the officers and soldiers, and said to Zhang Dahu: "Please give the order immediately, the officers and soldiers retreat, otherwise don't blame the ruthlessness." ”
Zhang Dahu saw that it was the government office, and waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers retreat. He heard about Feiyun's rescue of the county lord, and knew that his martial arts were extraordinary, and he had to be valued by the temperance, so he naturally didn't dare to offend easily.
Feiyun said coldly: "Lord Zhang, what are you doing here, are you going to slaughter these innocent people?" ”
Zhang Dahu said with a smile: "Lin Shaoxia, I misunderstood, I am just acting under orders." There is an order for the festival degree, and all households in Tanzhou need to pay taxes. They resisted, and they had to do that. ”
Feiyun was shocked and asked, "What did you say, it was an order from the Jiedu Envoy?" ”
Zhang Dahu said: "Naturally, the government has already posted a notice, and Zhang does not dare to fake the order." ”
The old man said to Feiyun: "There was a notice from the government a few days ago, but we really couldn't afford it, so we had to gather people to redress our grievances. ”
Feiyun pondered, how could this high-level envoy give such an order, didn't he want the officials to force the people to rebel? Looks like we'll have to ask him for clarification.
Feiyun immediately said to Zhang Dahu: "Since this is the case, I won't embarrass you. You withdraw the men and horses first, and I will take them to ask for the envoy of the festival. What do you think of him when he shows me? ”
Zhang Dahu thought for a while and said, "For your sake of rescuing the county lord, I will give you a face today." And he took them with him.
Feiyun turned to the people and said, "Everyone, please go home first, and I will go to the government office to intercede for you." Everyone is waiting for news at home. But they did not agree, but went together. Feiyun had no choice but to agree.
The people followed Feiyun to the mansion, and the guards outside the mansion were suddenly very nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they were on full alert.
The government said to the people, "Please sit quietly, and do not make any noise, let alone act rashly." Lest the other party misunderstand. He asked a few old men to calm everyone and wait for good news.
Feiyun then came to the door of the mansion and showed the token of the Jiedu envoy, and the doorman let him go. Feiyun came to the hall and saw the high knots.
When the envoy saw that it was Feiyun, he said, "You came just in time, I was thinking that someone would come to you, and you came by yourself." ”
Feiyun hurriedly said, "My lord, the grass people are here to intercede for the people outside the door. ”
The envoy said: "Childe doesn't know. I was forced to do so. ”
Recently, the imperial court is preparing to use troops abroad, and it is in urgent need of money and food. Therefore, the urging was very urgent, and the high degree of moderation forced it to re-collect taxes in order to relieve the urgent need.
Feiyun said: "Adults act like this, aren't you afraid of turning elbows and armpits? Now that the people are angry, wouldn't it be worse if there was a civil uprising? ”
The envoy asked, "Then what is your opinion?" ”
Feiyun said: "Please revoke the order to recollect taxes and calm the people." Feiyun managed to settle the grain and silver, please forgive me for some time. ”
Gao Jiedu hesitated, and then Gao Dan walked in with Cheng Yu's support. After a few days of careful treatment and care by Chengyu, Gao Dan has improved, and although his internal injuries have not healed, he can barely walk.
Gao Dan said: "What Lin Gongzi said is reasonable, please listen to the advice." In case of civil change, Daddy will be a sin on top of a crime. Please think twice. ”
Cheng Yu also said: "My lord, you can't fish with all your might, then there will be endless troubles." The adults played truthfully, presumably the emperor could understand the people's feelings. ”
Gao Jiedu thought for a moment and said to Feiyun, "I can promise you to postpone the tax increase. But you have to promise me something. ”
Feiyun estimated that he was talking about going to find grain and silver, so he said, "Your Excellency has a life, and you should obey it." ”
Gao Huailiang said: "Some people in Shaozhou gathered to make trouble, and the local officers and soldiers were not in a good position to enter and suppress it, and the imperial court ordered me to go on an expedition. After I left, the government was empty, so I wanted you to come and take charge. When the master of the capital arrives, the son will go to find grain and silver for me. What does Childe think? ”
Gao Dan said: "Daddy, how can this trouble Liu Lin Gongzi? ”
Feiyun was a little surprised, thought about it and said, "Thanks to the attention of the adults, the grass people should obey their orders." He said to Gao Dan again: "The county lord doesn't have to be polite, the grass people are willing to serve." ”
The envoy said, "You can go outside the door to appease the people, and I will order the suspension of tax collection." ”
Feiyun was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, the people of Tanzhou will be even more grateful for your kindness." ”
The envoy said, "You're welcome, please come over early tomorrow." ”
Feiyun bid farewell to Gao Jiedu and Gao Dan, greeted Chengyu, and then came to the door and conveyed the orders of Gao Jiedu to the people.
When the people heard this, they thundered with joy. thanked Liu Shui in unison, and kowtowed to the government to thank him, and the noise was long before the crowd dispersed.
Feiyun returned to the inn and informed everyone that he had agreed to the request of the high-caliber envoy. Meijing hurriedly said: "In this case, the plan to go north to Luoyang this time can only be postponed." ”
Tianxiang was disgusted with Gao Dan, so she said, "I'm not interested in going to the nursing home for others." If you want to go, I won't go. ”
Feiyun hurriedly said: "Sister Tianxiang, I'll just take Liangchen Meijing with me." Lan Xing's sister just needs someone to accompany her, so you stay in the away battle. Feiyun knew why Tianxiang was hostile to Gao Dan again, purely for himself, so he didn't force Tianxiang.
As soon as the sky was bright, the flying clouds and the good day and the beautiful scenery came to the palace, and saw that the envoy of the high festival was waiting in the main hall. As soon as I entered the main hall, I unexpectedly saw that Princess Changping was also there.
The envoy said, "It was the little girl who invited the princess to come as a guest. ”
When Gao Jiedu saw that Feiyun and Princess Changping had arrived, he explained that Gao Quan should obey the two of them, and then ordered troops to be dispatched, and everyone was sent to the door.
Everyone returned to the main hall, and after the last battle, they were all familiar with each other.
Feiyun asked Gao Dan, "How is the county lord's injury?" ”
Gao Dan said: "With careful treatment by Sister Chengyu, there is no major problem, and the internal injuries can only be healed slowly." There is Lao Gongzi worried. ”
It turned out that Cheng Yu was in the battle of Taogong Temple, although she was rescued, but her grandfather Xu Qiong died. Gao Dan saw that she had become an orphan, so he took in Chengyu, and the two returned
Liu Shui asked again: "Linglong, clever girl, how are your injuries doing?" "Although the injuries of the two Linglong are not as serious as those of the county lord, they are not light, and they still need to be recuperated for a long time.
Gao Dan said: "During this time, there will be Lao Gongzi. When the master of the capital arrives, Childe can be busy with his own business. He said to Liangchen and Meijing: "It's hard work for the two girls." I don't know if I've thought of anything lately? ”
Gao Dan was already impressed by Liangchen and was very polite.
"I suspect that these things are related to one person, but there is no evidence. They should make another move next, and they should be on guard.
Lord Gao said: "Sister Liangchen is just a guess, don't scare her." Gao Dan saw that they had the intention of blaming Liangchen, so he hurriedly rounded the field for Liangchen.
After Gao Dan finished speaking, he arranged for Gao Quan to take everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment of the government. Feiyun and a few people settled down in the mansion.
A few days later, Feiyun and the others were talking in the hall. The guard at the door came to report that there was a girl named Song who asked to see Feiyun.
Feiyun was startled, and secretly thought that the song didn't go back to his hometown with Yunmeng? How did they come to see themselves, could it be that they were in some trouble? Feiyun immediately let Liangchen go out and brought Ruge in. After a while, the song came to the hall with Liangchen and saluted Gao Dan and Feiyun.
Feiyun asked, "Like a song, didn't you follow Miss Yunmeng back to your hometown?" Why is it here again? ”
Like Song said: "Back to Lin Shaoxia, we were attacked the day before yesterday. Miss Yunmeng felt the need to let you know, so she specially asked me to come back and tell you. ”
When Feiyun heard that they had been attacked, he was naturally very worried and hurriedly asked, "Is anyone hurt?" "A few of the guards were slightly injured, but the others were unharmed. ”
Feiyun was relieved to care. I cared about my tone, and asked Nige not to be in a hurry to sit down first, and slowly explain things clearly. Feiyun thought to himself that Yunmeng's attack might just be a coincidence, and he couldn't care too much about it. What's more, the other party is obviously low in martial arts and will not be a powerful character.
