"Boom."

Song Che knocked on the door of the Gangneung Mansion.

After a while, the door slowly opened a crack, and the little family poked his head out and glanced at the two people standing at the door, one wearing a mask and the other holding a sword, and suddenly became vigilant and asked:

"It's getting dark, who are you looking for?"

"Jinghu North Road is a slight envoy, and Uncle Yin Weng of Jiangling Mansion is the same." Song Che said bluntly.

Xiao Jiading secretly muttered again, and suddenly realized: "Isn't he our master...... You, who are you to dare to call my lord by his name! ”

It's no wonder that he is stupid, it is difficult for people to have the opportunity to call their master by his name.

Song Che pulled out the golden dragon tattooed knife pinned to the sheath at his waist and handed it to the little family: "Your lord, when you see this thing, you will welcome me into the house." ”

Xiao Jiading was skeptical, and took the golden knife and said, "Wait." "Close the door.

"What if this Uncle Weng is the same and wears the same pants as the Zhang family?" Lin Yue was faintly worried.

Song Che said confidently: "If he can't even take off his 'pants' all the way, I think he will be able to return to his hometown tomorrow." ”

"The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, and you are not an official, just with a golden knife, you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"

"But I just used this trick to 'pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger' to swallow the king of Anyang, he is a strategic envoy, and he is always better than your prince."

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!"

Conversations.

"Crunch-" The door opened again, and I saw an old man over half a hundred years old, holding a knife in both hands, raising it above his head, and came forward to bow and salute:

"Uncle Weng, see Lord Qincha."

Song Che threw a smug look at Lin Yue, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and using chicken feathers as arrows, isn't it easy to handle?

The dragon golden knife is the emperor's imperial gift, and only the Beijing officials entrusted with important tasks are worthy of possession, and this golden knife can really walk sideways among the people.

Song Che pretended to be clear, hummed lightly, and took back the golden knife, "The old minister doesn't have to be polite, I came to visit in the evening, I disturbed it...... By the way, my surname is Bai. ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, the lower officials have prepared tea, Lord Bai, please come into the house and take a seat."

"Good tea doesn't have to be, just go with me."

Song Che took his hand and stepped into the mansion.

Weng Shutong followed closely, his face cloudy and uncertain, and his expression was full of worry.

After walking for a while, seeing that Song Che didn't open his mouth, Uncle Weng took the initiative to stand side by side and lowered his voice: "Lord Bai suddenly visited Jiangling, what happened?" ”

These big officials who call for wind and rain in the local area, what they are most afraid of are the Qin messengers sent by the Beijing Division, and sometimes a letter from the Qin Messenger can make them unsafe in one sentence.

Qin Cha doesn't have any great skills, but he can say two words in front of the emperor.

Song Che said softly: "I was passing by." ”

Hearing these five words, Uncle Weng took a long breath, and his expression eased a lot.

"But!"

Song Che raised his voice, and Uncle Weng Tong's heart that had just been put down was also raised.

"When I was passing by, I met a few bad people, arrogant, embarrassed and adulterous, murdered for money, bought murderers, and got away with it......"

Song Che told all the crimes committed by Zhang Tong and He Mei in the Lin family, as well as the murder of buying at the tea stall.

After hearing this, Uncle Weng's face changed greatly, and he even knelt down: "It's all because the subordinate officials are not properly governed, so that the murderer endangers Lord Bai——"

Song Che held him up, and said lightly: "The old minister governs all the way, he is busy with official business, and it is normal to be negligent, I will not delve into this matter, as long as the murderer and the protective umbrella behind him are brought to justice." ”

"Lord Bai, please rest assured, I will send someone to arrest the adulterer and adulteress later, and the towns, counties, and prefectures to which Ping'an Town belongs, and the big and small officials who cheat for personal gain will be thoroughly investigated one by one!"

"Also, when I was on the road before, I met a 'scarface' bandit who was very fierce, and when I returned to the post station later, I would draw him and send him to the house, and Lord Weng issued a wanted warrant, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Anyway, it's better to dress up all the way, it's better to eat to the end, after Scarface is wanted, he must be too busy to take care of himself, and there is one less trouble.

Uncle Weng should be the same.

"Oh yes, there is another very important thing, I left Beijing to send an envoy to the southwest this time, and the route is going to pass through the two states of Chen and Li ruled by this road, where it is Xiangxi, there are many aliens, right? Mr. Weng has been taking care of Jinghu North Road for many years, and he should give him a head start. ”

Recently, the Miao Rebellion incident has continued to ferment, and it is precisely this place in Xiangxi that is a gathering place for Miao people, and Song Che is most worried about this.

"Lord Bai is going to the southwest!"

Weng Shutong was surprised and admired: "No wonder the adults can get the golden sword, just this courage makes the lower officials unreachable." ”

The sudden sycophant caught Song Che off guard, and he couldn't help frowning: "How can you say this?" ”

Weng Shutong says:

"If Lord Bai wants to borrow Xiangxi, he doesn't have to worry too much. Although the lower officials are not talented, they have been pacified for many years in Jinghu Beijing, and the group of Miao people in Xiangxi have been domesticated, they are very peaceful, and they will not come out to make trouble, but-

Passing through Xiangxi and entering Kuizhou, you have to pay attention, especially in the area of 'southeast Guizhou' south of Kuizhou, due to geographical reasons, the mountains and mountains are steep, the roads are dangerous, and the government is powerful and not easy to control, resulting in the barbarians there eating the ancient and extremely barbaric;

Presumably Lord Bai also knows that there has been Miao Rebellion since last year, and until this year, Miao slaves have become more and more rampant, killing Liang people when they see them, which is extremely cruel, and many states in the southwest have become terrifying purgatory;

Officials who went to the southwest were either dismissed for misgovernance or brutally murdered by the untouchables;

Lord Bai is not afraid of sacrifice, he is ordered in danger, and he dares to go to the southwest, how can he not provoke the admiration of the lower officials? ”

After listening to Weng Shutong's story, Song Che felt a little more worried in his heart,

This time they went to participate in the Splendid Conference, although they did not go to Guizhou, but a large area was also in the southwest, which invisibly increased the danger.

"Why is Miao Chao not stopping?" He asked with a frown.

Uncle Weng smiled: "Isn't this question exactly what Lord Bai wants to explore?" The subordinate officials have poor knowledge, and the administrative office is not in the southwest, so they don't dare to speculate......"

This old fox......

In fact

Racial contradictions have always been an extremely complex issue.

Throughout the official history, for the southwestern aliens, all dynasties have adopted a suppression system, and even slaughtered.

There are two reasons for this situation-

First, discrimination:

The phrase "if it is not my race, its heart will be different" is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Chinese people who occupy an absolute numerical advantage and the Great Unification Dynasty.

Except for the Chinese people in the Central Plains, they are called "barbarians" in other places, labeled as "untouchables", and are not allowed to do business, intermarriage, imperial examinations, and all kinds of discrimination.

Second, oppression:

If there is discrimination, there must be oppression, occupying the land of the Miao people, squeezing the living space, and labeling the Miao slaves...... When the oppression is so overwhelming, even with bare hands, it will rise up and resist.

Song Che has received modern ideological education, and he will not stand in the perspective of feudal rule when considering problems, in his eyes, in the eyes of all Miao people, the Great Liang Dynasty is a bandit!

But the reality is that under the feudal system, the weak should be plundered and occupied by the strong.

So, where do the Miao people go from here?

Will it be slaughtered, or will it be appeased and co-prosperous?
