Cheng Yu's eyes moved, and he took a few steps forward, not knowing how to answer.

In the past, Cheng Yu followed Huangfu Jian to run around, just to conquer the rebels, and he had no time to think about it.

But with the entry of Huangfu Jianchang into Beijing, especially with the special status of Huangfu Jianchang, he knew a lot of things, especially about the government.

He deeply understood how much His Majesty in front of him longed for Zhongxing Dahan, and he couldn't wait for the next moment.

Whether it is from the various 'new policies' implemented at the beginning of the succession to the throne, to the huge and complex 'five-year governance outline for Jian'an', especially the promotion of the courtiers, it is nothing more than to get rid of bad governance, reassure the people and strengthen the country, and rejuvenate the Han dynasty.

Just by understanding part of it, Cheng Yu can understand how painstaking and painstaking His Majesty in front of him is.

He felt a little sorry for His Majesty in front of him, so much so that he couldn't bear to speak.

Yes, he is distressed, unbearable, unlike other people's fears, fears.

Cheng Yu couldn't bear to tell this majesty, who had grown up in the deep palace since he was a child and had a passionate revenge, how cruel the reality was.

He doesn't say, someone says.

Dian Wei stood behind Liu Wei, munching on soup cakes, and said in an urn voice: "Your Majesty, there are many, everywhere, I used to be a miscellaneous servant in the village, I did everything, carried water and farmed, cleaned the yard, collected grain and transported grain, I can lose more than 30 catties a month......"

Liu Wei frowned, looked thoughtful, and said, "Cheng Yu, based on your inference, how much of my big man's land is accounted for in this situation?" It's not a big deal to make a bold estimate, so I let it go. ”

Cheng Yu lowered his head, his heart was tense, and he said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no way to deduce, but with what the minister has seen and heard in Yanzhou, at least more than sixty percent." ”

"Sixty percent?"

Liu Wei nodded slightly, sat back, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and said to himself: "Those people in Shangshutai refuse to talk to me, and your Imperial City Mansion also refuses to talk to me, I just want to hear a few words of truth, is it so difficult?" ”

Cheng Yu's face changed suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "The minister is guilty!" ”

Zhao Yun, Huangfu Jian glanced at him, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Even Dian Wei, whose mouth was gnawing on the soup cake, stopped.

He's rough, but not stupid.

Liu Wei casually grabbed a few chopsticks, put them in a bowl, slowly stirred them, and said, "You said this, I quickly heard the cocoon." Those people in the court, as long as they ask for guilt, are to throw the blame and throw all the right and wrong to me. No, that's mediocrity and incompetence, and it has nothing to do with them. By the way, that's their virtue, and it has nothing to do with me. Inside and out, they are not responsible. In peacetime, you can still throw off the jade pendant, return to your hometown, and fight for a reputation of integrity. In this time of chaos, when he struggled for power and profit, he spoke generously, and when he was killed, he kept silent and asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment. Those who are hidden but do not come out, those who sit and watch the direction of the wind, those who wait for the opportunity, those who make the wind and rain...... There are also some people who are impassioned and empty talk on weekdays, incompetent and useless, and finally die to repay the king, and their reputation has been passed down through the ages...... They have left a reputation, but what is the use of the country and the family? The country is broken, the society is in decline, the bones are like mountains, and the blood is like a river, for them, it is insignificant in life, let alone ...... after death."

Cheng Yu knelt on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his cheeks.

These words are too damning!

"Minister, minister......" Cheng Yu wanted to defend a few words, but he couldn't find a word for a long time.

Liu Wei stirred the bowl, glanced back at him, saw him trembling, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'm just feeling emotional for a while, get up." ”

Cheng Yu was dripping with cold sweat on his head, Xie En forgot about it, and got up cautiously.

Liu Wei took a bite of food and said, "Give you a task, go to Jizhou, and feel the situation in Jizhou." I want to be real. ”

Cheng Yu's expression was straight, and he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Weichen commands!" ”

Liu Wei snorted, feeling that this meal was tasteless, so he simply said: "Enter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." Zhao Yun responded.

Liu Wei waved his hand and flipped through the account book in front of him.

It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this account book, and Liu Wei still wants to see something from it.

Huangfu was strong, and Zhao Yun quietly withdrew, leaving only Dian Wei.

Liu Wei looked at the account books, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.

Judging from these account books, the output of the land has been exploited to the extreme, and the people may not be able to satisfy half of their stomachs after a year of hard work!

This is a small and inconspicuous estate, where at least thousands of people farm. It seems to be the relationship between the landlord and the tenant, but in fact, these thousands of people have been reduced to the slaves of the manor, and they have no power to resist.

"No wonder a big family can pull up thousands of people, this is still low-key, if they do their best, I'm afraid it's not difficult to tens of thousands......"

Liu Wei's eyes were cold, and he whispered to himself.

He expected this situation, but when he saw it with his own eyes, cold sweat still oozed from his head.

Liu Wei always knew who the real enemy of Zhongxing in the Han Dynasty was and where it was...... But I never thought that they would be so powerful!

"No wonder, Xun Yu and the others trembled and walked on thin ice...... It seems that they know the world better than I do......"

Liu Wei slowly flipped through it, deducing the truth of this manor from the clues.

"Your Majesty,"

Huangfu Jian Chang walked in again, and whispered behind Liu Wei: "More than a dozen corpses were found in the backyard, and I also learned from the mouths of those servants that at least hundreds of people were buried in the back mountain, regardless of men, women, and children, all in the past two years. ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and looked at the account book intently.

The emperor understood for a long time and retreated silently again.

Something is happening quietly in this small-looking manor.

Some are quietly disappearing, some are leaving in the dark.

Early the next morning, after a brief meal, Liu Wei rode his horse and went straight to Chenliu County.

Riding a horse, Liu Wei flipped through the notebook in his hand and asked, "Jingli, do you almost know that I am out of the city?" ”

Huangfu said with a long sigh: "There is no leakage for the time being, but everyone who should know should have guessed it." ”

Liu Wei snorted and continued to flip.

Huangfu Jian waited for a while, and when he saw that Liu Wei had no other instructions, he quietly retreated.

Before he could reach the door, a plainclothes Imperial City Mansion guard hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many torches around the manor, and it seems that someone is approaching here. ”

Huangfu Jianchang's face changed suddenly, and without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, he shouted: "What person? ”

The guard said: "Someone has been sent to investigate, for the time being, it will be a mile away, and it will arrive soon, and it is estimated that there are two or three hundred people." ”

Huangfu Jian's expression was condensed, and he raised his hand towards Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the news has leaked, please immediately send troops to reinforce to protect the safety of the holy driver." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand unconcernedly, and his eyes did not leave the account book.

The emperor understood and withdrew.

Outside in the dark, Zhao Yun began to deploy troops and deploy defenses.

For only two or three hundred people, he didn't pay any attention to them, his expression was calm, his eyes were indifferent, and he looked at the lights.

Around Zhuangzi, the approaching torches gradually became clear, reflecting the approximate number of people coming.

"More than 300 people ......"

Zhao Yun estimated in his heart, and said to the military marquis beside him: "How long will it take?" ”

The military marquis said in a deep voice: "General Hui Zhonglang, five hundred forbidden army cavalry are one mile away, and two thousand five hundred forbidden troops are three miles away, ready to arrive at any time." ”

Zhao Yun didn't speak, rubbing the spear in his hand with his right hand.

For a few years he had not led an army, and the spear was as clean as a wash.

Not long after, the gate of Zhuangzi was rushed open, countless torches poured in, the drums beat like thunder, shouting, and rushed straight to the backyard, where Liu Wei was.

The leader was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in brocade clothes and with a handsome expression, staring at Zhao Yun, then looking at the half-open door, sneering, and said: "I don't care where you come from, what your purpose is, release people, I will let you go, today's incident, I will treat it as if it never happened!" ”

Zhao Yun was not good at words, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the spear in his hand slowly turned.

But there are those who are good at words.

Huangfu Jian laughed, squatted beside Zhao Yun, nibbled on the apple, and said, "Hey, boy, what's your surname?" ”

The young man stared at Huangfu Jian for a few long looks, and said coldly with a disdainful expression: "Are you from the Imperial History Terrace, or which official of Liucao?" No matter where you come from, this is Chenliu County, I can't help you! Let them go, and I will keep you safe. If you are stubborn, there are many pits on the back mountain, and there are no less than a dozen of you! ”

Shi A quietly came behind Huangfu Jianchang and said lightly: "The front and back are surrounded." ”

Huangfu Jian didn't seem to hear it, and his heart was a little tired, and he said: "Boy, I am very unhappy with your expression, when your grandfather was in Luoyang City, you were not born yet." In this way, let your people come to the courtyard and kneel down one by one, and maybe have a chance to live. ”

The young man stood in the firelight, the torches behind him were like dragons, and the strong men were holding blades, steaming fiercely.

In response to Huangfu Jianchang's words, he only sneered and said, "I know you have a background, but this is not Luoyang!" I'll say it one last time, hand them over, and I'll let you go, or you'll die here without eyes, and no one will know. ”

Huangfu Jian smashed his mouth, glanced at the apple in his hand, threw it directly to the ground, clapped his hands, and said: "Okay, you + the master are not as big as you, if you continue to be verbose, I have to do it first." ”

The young man's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "I didn't want to kill anyone, but since you are looking for death, it's no wonder that I'm not going to blame." ”

As he spoke, he stepped back and said with a cold look in his eyes, "Do it cleanly." Tomorrow this Zhuangzi will go to the water, and there will be no trace left. ”

The first half of the sentence was said to the strong man behind him, and the second half of the sentence was said to Huangfu Jianchang, Zhao Yun listened.

Huangfu clapped his hands and stood up, looked at the strong men who were approaching, and said, "Hey, do you know why I chose you as a Zhuangzi?" ”

The young man who had already retreated behind the servant suddenly raised his hand, walked out again, stared at Huangfu Jian coldly, and said, "Say! ”

Huangfu patted his buttocks, laughed, and said, "Because there are several waves of people in the imperial court, they have disappeared in this realm." ”

"What are your identities?" The young man still wants to know the origin of the emperor's strength.

Huangfu Jian was just about to speak, but Dian Wei suddenly walked out of it, glared, and said in an urn voice: "The son is too little, and he wants to sleep." ”

The young man looked up at the brightly lit room, vaguely saw half a shadow, and suddenly said loudly: "The son in the house, we don't want to offend the court, as long as you leave now, I will act as if nothing happened, otherwise today, you will have to die here!" ”

"Bold!"

Dian Wei suddenly shouted, and from behind the door, he overtook his mace and threw it directly at the young man.

"Master dodge!" The strong man behind the young man was quick and pulled the young man away.

duang~

The mace was embedded in the ground, trembling.

The young man's expression changed in shock, looking at the big stick, knowing that it was difficult to be good today, his face turned fierce, and said, "Then it's no wonder to me!" on, kill them all! ”

When the more than 200 people he brought with him heard this, they showed their swords and guns one after another, and without hesitation, they went to the door to kill.

Woohoo

In the darkness, more than a dozen arrows were fired, hitting the first few people.

A dozen plainclothes men came out, armed with short bows, and fired constantly.

When the young man saw this, he shouted: "There are only twenty of them, all of them are given, but there are dead and wounded, 100,000 yuan each!" ”

The strong men and servants he brought suddenly roared, holding big knives, and killed Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huangfu Jianchang.

The plainclothes guards of the Imperial City Mansion quietly retreated, and the short bow in his hand shot out continuously.

Huangfu Jian was not good at fighting, and quietly retreated to Shi A's side.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei Ke is good at it.

Zhao Yun's spear was like the wind, and he killed him directly.

Dian Wei roared, his fists took turns to kill, snatched the mace, and swept out.

Zhao Yun is like an arrow from the string, unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye, I don't know how many people fell to the ground.

Dian Wei opened and closed widely, waving the big stick, and several people flew away as soon as the stick went down, and under the sweep, more than a dozen people retreated again and again, unable to resist.

Just Zhao Yun and Dian Wei killed these two hundred people, and they didn't dare to come close, so they could only resist.

Huangfu Jian had long known that these two people were fierce, but it was still a little unexpected to be so fierce.

He took out another apple and nibbled on it, "Old Shi, have you beaten them?" ”

Shi A held the sword, guarded by the door, frowned, and said: "Zhao Yun's battle array technique, I am not an opponent on the battlefield." Dian Wei is almost brute force, I can't compare. But if there is a life-and-death struggle, I must be the one who survives. ”

Huangfu chewed on the apple for a long time, whining a few times, not knowing what to say.

But in his heart, he recognized Shi A's words.

Shi Ah practiced swordsmanship, and what he paid attention to was killing.

I don't know when the yard is burning, and there is fire everywhere.

The two hundred people brought by the young man stepped forward and retreated for a while, and they couldn't get close to Liu Wei's door at all.

The young man stood behind, his face growing gloomy.

It's not because he can't kill him, he has people who can be transferred at any time.

It's Dian Wei, Zhao Yun's performance, and those short bows that keep shooting in the shadows, which reveal everywhere that the person in the room is not simple!

'There can't really be any big people running into this backwood, are they?' ’

The young man's eyes were shocked, but his heart was even more ruthless, the bigger the person, the more he couldn't let go!

"Transfer people over, today, one can't be let go!" The young man held up the torch and whispered.

A servant answered and ran out to give orders.

Huangfu Jian saw it clearly, smashed his mouth, and said, "Our people are almost there, right?" ”

Shi Ah closed his eyes, opened them for a moment, and said, "Here we are." ”

When Huangfu Jian heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, took out another apple, sat on the ground, and shouted: "Hey, don't fight, don't fight, let's have a good chat." ”

The young man heard it and followed his men.

He also had to wait for all his people to come and exterminate these uninvited guests in one fell swoop.
