Chapter 229: Friend or Foe

"When you return, you will read the rock cultivation with a negative staff."

"The source water looks at the flowers, and the secluded forest picks medicine.

"The savages ask each other their surnames, and the mountain birds call themselves by their names."

"Go to Duwule and be ashamed of this life."

This is a poem by Song Zhiwen, a famous minister of Wu Zhou, called "Luhun Villa".

Although Song Zhiwen has been in the officialdom all his life and has never returned to seclusion, his love of mountains and rivers is very sincere.

Lantian Gongchuan Beiye has been sold to Wang Wei today, and even the poetry Buddha from Taiyuan Wang's family is also complacent about this, and has written several poems, which shows that this Beiye Villa is extraordinary.

Xue Bai had been to Pei Kuan's Qingxu Farewell Industry on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and at that time he already felt that the other industry had mountains and rivers and a vast area, but compared with Luhun Villa, it was a small thing, after all, the land on the outskirts of Chang'an City was not easy to obtain, and Lantian and Yanshi had a lot of mountains and forests.

The day after he met Song Mian, Xue Bai followed him to Luhun Villa as a guest, rode a horse to the northwest, and when he went out of the city gate, he saw the mountain lying in the sky from a distance, and walked for a long time, and the mountain was still far away.

There are fields on both sides of the road, and now that the harvest has passed, you can see farmers from time to time planting wheat stalks, and their movements are powerful, not like they have been starved.

Xue Bai suddenly turned over and dismounted, walked over to the farmer, and asked, "Uncle, is this year's harvest good?" ”

Remember https://m in a second.

The old peasant only turned his head to look, and then lowered his head again to work, and did not stop moving his hands, and did not answer.

At first glance, he didn't even know how to speak, and he didn't have much intelligence, but when Xue Bai asked a few more words, he suddenly replied stiffly.

"I don't have to pay for food!

After that, the old peasant walked away with the wheat stalks on his shoulders, and there were no shoes on his feet, and his swarthy bare feet walked fast on the frozen soil. Obviously, he was sharp-eyed, and he could see that these were people from the government in front of him.

Xue Bai suddenly remembered the situation when he and Yan Zhenqing went to Qingxu to chase the fugitive household, and knew that this must be a slave tenant of a large family.

If he hadn't had that experience, he would not have been able to see the strangeness in the fields of Yanshi County if he had seen it with his naked eyes...... Because the rest of the way, all I saw was a peaceful and peaceful scene.

The closer you get to the mountain, the more like a paradise. The chickens and dogs smell each other, the houses on the edge of the fields are like children, and the peasant women weave cloth, talking and laughing, and the smoke curls up.

"Presumably this is Luhun Villa?" Xue Bai drove forward immediately and walked side by side with Song Mian.

"It's still far away." Song Mian raised his whip and said with a smile: "The villa is naturally in the mountains." ”

Luhun Villa is located in Shouyang Mountain.

Shouyang Mountain is the highest peak of the Bishan Mountain Range, named after "the beginning of the sunrise, the light must come first", and "Shouyang Qingxiao" is one of the eight views of Yanshi. Just listen to these, you will know the wonderful scenery of Luhun Mountain Villa.

Entering from the mountain pass, facing the "Yichuan Pass", the mountains on both sides are high and steep, passing through the long mountain pass, the road can be seen everywhere green mountains, peaks and peaks. For a long time, the face suddenly opened up, there is another world, there is a valley on the back, it is a good place to live in seclusion, the valley is planted with peach trees, plum trees, plum trees, etc., there are flowers in all seasons.

No wonder Song Zhiwen wrote the poem "Danbei River Bridge Willow Wind, Lying Yichuan Peach Jiyue at Sunset".

Strange flowers and wild vines are all over the valley, waterfalls and streams can be seen everywhere, and as we continue to walk, more elaborate farmhouses are built in the valley, where the peasants, both men and women, are white and clean, with good faces, and children chase and recite poems aloud.

"Under the mulberry moon, before planting apricots in the spring breeze. Returning to Lifu, Tao Lingxian is known.

Xue Bai listened to it and said, "This poem is really good." ”

Song Mian said: "It is Wang Wei's poem, called "Sending the Sixth Uncle to Lu Hun". ”

"Oh? Mr. Maha and Mr. Song are also related? ”

"Distant relatives." Song Mian smiled, "I'll mention a few more people, Xue Lang must know each other."

He turned over and dismounted, asked Xue Bai to walk with him, and at the same time stroked his beard and said: "The first month is half now, and the flowers and trees are blooming." When you go out of the customs and see the grass, spring is coming from the east...... Xue Lang guessed, who wrote this poem? ”

"I really can't guess.

"Cen Shen, he and my brother-in-law Du Zuo are close friends."

"I see, go around and around, everyone is friends."

said: "Back then, Du Fu passed through Yanshi County, and we waited for the wine to talk happily...... Yan Xian said that it was the happiest day he came to Yanshi.

"But that's not all, Du Zuo and Du Fu are brothers, and their friendship has always been deep." Song Mian said, feeling emotional, sighing Xue Bai turned his head to look, only to see Song Mian's eyes red again, and his eyes were sentimental.

A group of children came running and giggled around them.

"Liulang is back, we will all recite the Tao Te Ching, give us candy to eat."

"Turn around and carry it again, I have a guest." Song Mian smiled, reached out and touched a boy's head, and said, "Take them there, read more, help my grandmother do more things, and make trouble all day long." ”

oh

The children turned their heads and ran away, Song Mian laughed at himself, and said, "Xue Lang smiled, it is also cumbersome for us to run this villa.....

"The mountain dwelling is quiet, how can there be a tedious reason?

"Please.

More than 20 miles long valley, people live in the middle, farming, animal husbandry, fishing, wood, flowers, fruit trees, cattle, sheep, fish and pigs, everything, comfortable and content.

And one of the pavilions and pavilions is the residence of the owners.

Now the Song family has the highest seniority, is Song Zhiwen's younger brother Song Zhiyi, who has served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, Taiyuan Yin, with the right feather Lin Wei General Zhishi, living in seclusion in Luhun Villa, now must be seventy or eighty years old, and he did not come forward to see Xue Bai today.

Only a few children of the Song family came out to greet for a while, and Song Mian entertained Xue Bai to drink and watch the sunset on the Yueyan Pavilion on the mountain.

Yueyan Pavilion is said to be a pavilion, in fact, it is a pavilion built on the top of Shouyang Mountain, standing on the upper floor and looking into the distance, the scenery is simply incomparable.

Looking north, the farthest can see the Taihang Mountain, the towering high mountain is like being born out of thin air, the Yellow River is surging under the mountain, pouring thousands of miles, and the spirit is majestic; Looking east, you can overlook the Central Plains, the mountains between the Liang and Song dynasties; Looking west, you can vaguely see the magnificent pattern of Luoyang City;

Looking south, the peaks of Songshan Mountain go straight into the clouds, and Luoshui and Yishui converge in Yanshi.

"When you get here, you don't have to worry about the wall having ears, you can talk to Xue Lang about what you want."

The guest and host sat down, Song Mian poured a glass of wine, and said: "In this Yanshi County, Lu Linghao, Gao Chong, and Guo Lian are embarrassed and deceived and concealed. Guo Wanjin, Guo Yuanliang and his son matched the bridge and followed this waterway to Henan Mansion to catch Linghu Tao and Zhou Milling.

As he spoke, he got up, first raised his hand and pointed to Luoshui, which was far away to the south, and then turned to the other side of the pavilion, pointing to the Yellow River in the far north.

"Along the Yellow River, Shaanxi County guards Dou Tingzhi, and the water and land transport envoy Wang Suo, these are their comrades."

Xue Bai said: "Although it is an obvious thing, it is necessary to prove it after all. At least there must be a book, otherwise we can't even tell how many fields they swallowed or how many taxes they stole. ”

Song Mian said: "Yes, Yan Xian secretly searched for evidence, and he originally wanted to present this evidence to the government Yin Weigong. As far as I know, on the night he was killed, his retinue Wang Yi should have escaped, and the evidence should be in his hands.

Xue Bai asked, "How did Wang Yi escape?" ”

"This ..... is unknown."

"Then Mr. Song, does you know how County Lieutenant Wang was killed?"

"I'm ashamed of Yan Xian."

Song Mian's eyes showed sadness, poured the wine in the cup on the ground, and paid tribute to Wang Yanxian.

"He was ready to hand over the evidence to Wei Gong, but he had to investigate more deeply, and we made an appointment to meet at Shouyang Academy that night, when it was raining heavily, I waited all night, only to get the news of his death the next day.

"Who is the murderer?

"It was Lu Linghao and Gao Chong who instigated the head of the canal on the Cao River to move."

"Qutou? Which drain head? ”

"Although this person has a surname, few people mention it, and even the county officials only call him 'Qutou'."

"Why?" Xue Bai asked, "Afraid of him?"

"Not really, his surname is Li, ranked third, he was called 'Li San'er' in the early years, and now he is called 'Qutou' and 'Qu Shuai', there are many gangs on the Cao River, but in this section of Luoshui, there is no one to cover his limelight. ”

Song Mian is from a famous family, and obviously looks down on this kind of reckless scoundrel, but he seems to be a little jealous.

"Although this canal does not enter the stream, it is indeed a bit ruthless, and it is a master who kills people without blinking. Let's put it this way, Lu Linghao is greedy for taxes per mu with the power of the county order, Gao Chong is in charge of the smuggling of taxes in this county, and Guo Lian is the recorder to make profits for the big families in the county.

However, it is inevitable that there will be some river and foreign thieves in the territory, or people who resist taxes, and these people will not do it themselves. Over the years, the responsibility of the county lieutenant has actually been done by this canal.

Xue Baiwan said: "I am a fake county lieutenant in name, and he is the real county lieutenant in secret."

"My best friend died at his hands, and I will bring him to justice and avenge his hatred."

"Is there a way for Mr. Song?

"The officials in the county will only bully some farmers, and they don't dare to touch these scoundrels who lick the blood with their knives; The city garrison has not been in war for many years, and it has long been rotten and rotten. But a scoundrel is just a scoundrel after all, as long as the Henan Prefecture mobilizes hundreds of soldiers and horses

Come, and it will be gone.

Xue Bai asked, "Can Wei Fu Yin do this?" ”

Song Mian nodded and sighed, "Gong Wei also needs evidence to be justified. After all, these people have deep backgrounds.

Lu Linghao even has a close relationship with the palace attendants.

"I'm afraid that the evidence has been destroyed by them? Wang Yi has fled, but I'm afraid she won't come back? ”

Guo Wanjin...... It would be a breakthrough. Song Mian said: "After the incident, I thought about it for a long time. Among these colluders, Guo Wanjin is the easiest to win. ”

"I heard that he is a relative of the Taiyuan Guo family, King Yong's biological mother Guo Shunyi."

"It's fake, it's just a relative from a hundred years ago." Song Mian said: "Xue Lang can know that there are six huge riches in the Tang Dynasty, Ren Lingfang, Ren Zong, Yang Chongyi, Wang Yuanbao, Guo Wanjin, and Guo Xingxian. ”

Xue Bai said: "I've heard of Yang Chongyi. ”

Yang Chongyi is a huge rich man in Chang'an, and his wife Liu, who is beautiful and fragrant, has an affair with a young man Li Yi, and the two of them collaborated to kill Yang Chongyi and buried him in a dry well. After Yang Chongyi's disappearance, Jingzhao Mansion visited day and night, tortured hundreds of people in the Yang family, and had no clues. Later, Jingzhao Mansion went to Yangjia to check the workshop, and there was a parrot in the hall shouting "the one who kills the master of the house, Liu's and Li Yiye", which alarmed Li Longji, and raised this parrot in the palace and named it "The Green Messenger", and the then Prime Minister Zhang Shuo wrote the "Biography of the Green Messenger" to describe this incident.

In order to relieve Li Longji's boredom, Yang Guozhong learned from Xue Bai to write stories, and found many literati to write "The Continuation of the Green Messenger", which tells the story of this parrot flying out of the palace, breaking adultery everywhere, and assisting officials to solve cases. Xue Bai also watched it.

I don't know, after Yang Chongyi's death, hundreds of people in the Yang family were tortured, and in the end, countless family wealth fell into whose hands?

"In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court investigated the illegal minting of copper coins, confiscated the extremely rich Ren Lingfang, and obtained more than 600,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the annual rent of the imperial court." Song Mian said: "It can be seen that the imperial court is able and willing to move these rich and unkind businessmen.

Xue Bai understood what Song Mian meant, the people of the time despised businessmen, and when Guo Wanjin was investigated first, it was easier to get the support of the imperial court, and then implicated Lu Linghao and others through Guo Wanjin.

He nodded and asked, "Mr. Song said that they are rich and unkind, but what do you know?" ”

Song Mian said: "Guo Wanjin's branch has long been broken, he became a monk in his early years, when he was still a martial queen, the Buddhist incense was prosperous, and the imperial court gave the temple official field to support orphans, Guo Wanjin started by selling orphans in the nursing workshop, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a full of evil........

He nodded and asked, "Mr. Song said that they are rich and unkind, but what do you know?" ”

Song Mian said: "Guo Wanjin's branch has long been broken, he was a monk in his early years, at that time he was still a martial queen, the Buddhist incense was prosperous, the imperial court gave the temple official field to support orphans, Guo Wanjin started by selling orphans in the nursing workshop, it is not ......an exaggeration to call it a full of evil."

After staying in Luhun Villa for one night, I felt the leisurely and quiet of the mountain residence, but unfortunately Xue Bai was not a person who enjoyed the mountains and rivers, so he left and returned to Yanshi County the next day.

After all, Song Mian knew everything and said everything he could say.

Mr. Yin, slowly. ”

At the time of parting, Song Mian called Yin Liang again, picked up a scroll from the tray in the servant boy's hand and handed it over.

"This is?

"Mr. Zhiyin likes to collect gold and stone rubbing, which is the "Jin Shi Luo" compiled by my uncle, which has ten rubbings of King Zhou Xuan's "Hunting Jie".

"Really?

The so-called gold and stone is to study the bronze and stone carvings of the pre-Qin period, and to verify the inscriptions and descriptions on them to prove the scriptures and supplement the history. Nowadays it's just a niche hobby.

Yin Liang really likes gold and stone, and every time he sees any monument, he wants to dig it. Now that I have arrived at Yanshi, I have been thinking that if I have time, I should go to find the monuments of the Shang Dynasty. Today, Song Mian's gift was really sent to his heart.

Xue Bai accepted it informally, but he glanced at the plains below the mountain again, and asked, "By the way, how many fields are there in Luhun Villa?" Is there a thousand? ”

Song Mian was stunned for a moment, shook his hand and said, "No, it's just a twenty-mile roadside mountain field after entering the mountain." Counting some fields at the foot of the mountain, there are more than 200 hectares.

"I see, I was rude."

Xue Bai took the liberty to inquire about other people's wealth, which was indeed a bit rude, so that Song Mian had to explain a few more sentences.

"The Song family is famous, different from those high-ranking families who oppress the people. More than 200 hectares of land, taxes have never been a lot, and there are endless donations every year, Xue Lang will know it when he checks it. ”

It was already evening when Xue Bai returned to the Yanshi County Office from Luhun Villa.

The officials of the county office did not expect him to rush back after only one night in the villa, and he was caught off guard.

"Zhao Liu."

Zhao Liu, the gatekeeper who was thinking of Liucao's report, heard a shout, stopped helplessly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "The county lieutenant is back?"

"Why did you run when you saw me?

"No, the villain didn't see the county lieutenant."

Xue Bai asked: "I didn't see the color service book and the green seedling book in Hucao the day before yesterday, where is it?" ”

Zhao Liu's face was bitter, and he said: "I have to ask Hu Caosun about this matter, and the villain doesn't know." ”

"What about Master Sun?

"Not at the county office."

Xue Bai suddenly asked, "Are you literate?" It is said that you will also calculate why you are just a janitor. ”

Zhao Liu scratched his head and said, "Isn't the villain still young, in terms of seniority, he has to wait for him." ”

is a mixed official, he still knows how to go out.

Xue Bai said: "Since I took office, I have almost never seen Master Sun, this person's corpse is vegetarian, and you are in charge of Cao, such as Zhao Liu was startled, and said in panic: "The county lieutenant Mo joked with the villain, the villain is a Yanshi, and he has to die in Yanshi."

At the moment, Xue Bai will leave sooner or later, and he will never be co-opted by Xue Bai.

"What's the point of dying in Yanshi?" Xue Bai asked: "You don't want to take your old mother and crippled brother to Chang'an to do something" villain...

Zhao Liu changed color in shock, and ran away in a hurry, for fear of being seen muttering privately to the county lieutenant.

Xue Bai didn't care, returned to the Wei Corridor, and recruited Xue Xian.

"What about the books I brought back the day before yesterday?

"Brother, they took advantage of your absence and transported it away.

"Where's the luck?

Xue Xian immediately showed a ghostly smile and said, "I secretly followed over to see it, and I put a big lock on the pavilion library." ”

"Boom!

With a loud bang, Jiang Hai picked up the sledgehammer, knocked off the big lock of the pavilion library, and pushed the door open.

Xue Bai didn't care about the two officials next to him who were so anxious to cry, and walked in with Yin Liang.

The cabinet library is on the edge of the warehouse, stacked with books from all over the years, one big box after another, there are thousands of volumes, there are no more people who are proficient in arithmetic, only two people, it is obviously impossible to check it out.

And the things that really matter, they don't put them here.

However, what Xue Bai wanted to verify was very simple.....

"What is this doing, county lieutenant?

After a while, it really alarmed Guo Lian, and it was hard for him to still smile.

"If the county lieutenant wants to read the book, he will say it bluntly, why bother smashing the lock?"

Since taking office, Xue Bai has been talking for half a month, and the officials have all kinds of prevarications, but now they have really smashed the lock, and they have a sentence of "just say it".

Xue Bai didn't reveal it, and asked: "I want to check the fields and acres and household registration in the county, why can't I find the books in recent years?" ”

"The recent seedlings and color service books are here.

"This was made in the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and the twenty-seventh year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. The county is still collecting taxes according to the acres of land more than 20 years ago, and the household registration more than ten years ago has not been successful? Tang Law stipulates that a register is made every three years.

Guo Jian said: "Yes, but the county lieutenant is responsible for collecting taxes, and I am afraid that I should ask the county lieutenant Wang about this matter, but unfortunately he committed suicide in fear of sin."

Xue Bai then opened the book of young seedlings in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, and saw that it was recorded that Xingfu Temple and Yaowang Temple each had ten hectares of land, and another ten hectares of official land were given to the orphans of the Relief Workshop.

And the number of acres of land in Luhun Villa is indeed 200 hectares.

As long as the acres of land and household registration are not registered, no one can prove that someone has embezzled the people's land.

"In that case." Xue Bai put down the booklet in his hand and said, "I'll re-measure the acres of land in Yanshi County, how about it?" ”

The smile on Guo Lian's face condensed slightly, and then he agreed directly.

"Okay, the county lieutenant is so dedicated to his official duties, we should fully cooperate........

A clerk hurriedly left the county office, went out of the south Yingxian Gate, arrived at the wharf, and entered a warehouse.

"What about you?

A few people were throwing dice in the warehouse to gamble money, and one of them was a one-eyed man with wheat straw in his mouth, and casually replied: "Personally supervise the goods, it's almost to the Yellow River." ”

With that, he turned his head to see a dirty child sneakily decorating a merchant outside, and scolded, "Move, take a look!" ”

"Ma blind man, don't be noisy, I have something to tell you.

"Yes."

Why didn't Master Sun come? Let you come. ”

"My uncle is busy.

"Say it.

"The new county lieutenant is like a dog who has taken lewd drugs, endlessly going crazy, and teach him a lesson."

The blind man put his whole finger in his nostrils and dug it for a while, put it on his neck and cut it, and said with a smile: "Killed? ”

"Don't make a fuss, just one died, can you die another? Do you want to rebel? beat him hard, and shocked his courage to "beat the official? What does it mean to beat an officer? ”

Tomorrow he will go out of the city to measure the fields, and you should keep an eye on him, because there is something more important. ”

"Dog intestines, what are you going to say later?"

"There's a clue to what Qu Shuai wants........

The south of Yanshi County is Songshan Mountain, and there is Fuxi Mountain in the southeast, and there are many thieves in the lofty mountains.

Therefore, on this day, Xue Bai went out of the city to the south to measure the acres of fields, and Guo Yang reminded Bibai.

"In the middle of winter, is it better for the county lieutenant to stay in the city, in case he encounters thieves outside?"

"Yanshi is not peaceful?

Guo Jian sighed: "When County Lieutenant Wang was in office, there were a few big thieves who were never arrested, and they fell into the grass in the mountains to the south, and occasionally killed people and robbed money, which was very vicious. ”

Xue Bai said: "As a county lieutenant, I have the name of a thief catcher, how can I be afraid of thieves and not measure the fields." ”

"County Lieutenant Gao Yi."

Guo Jian gave the last kind reminder, so he didn't say anything more, sent Xue Bai away, his eyes fell on Xue Xian's figure, and said in his heart, what is the use of a half-old child?

There is no bridge over the Luo River, and to get to the south, you need to take a boat.

Xue Bai took more than a dozen officials to cross the river in three boats, but when they reached the south bank of the Luo River, the other two boats were gone.

He looked around, and there were only Yin Liang, Jiang Hai, Xue Xian, Chai Gou'er, and the other three officials around him.

"County, county lieutenant, they may be washed down...... Downstream, are we going back? Shiba Dog asked.

"Don't go back, keep walking.

The south bank of the Luo River is far more deserted than the north bank, looking up can see the Song Mountain in the distance, walking for a while, there is an official who suddenly squatted on the ground, screaming that his stomach hurts, and an official messenger asked to stay and take care of it.

After walking a short time, Shiba Inu and the other remaining official excused themselves, and ran into the woods and disappeared.

Yin Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "In this Yanshi County, except for Mr. Song, there is really no one who is willing to help Shaofu."

Xue Bai listened, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, measure the fields of the nursing workshop first." ”

It was a large area of fertile land between the two rivers of Luo and Yi, and there was a field house on the edge of the field, and there was a small temple near the field house, and a few monks managed the tenants.

Xue Bai showed his official body and asked who owned the fields of these monks, and replied that it was the good field of Xingfu Temple. When I asked how many acres of land there was in Kofukuji Temple, I replied that there were ten hectares of temple fields, plus ten hectares of official fields in the nursing workshop, a total of 20 hectares.

"Do you pay taxes?

"Amitabha, the county lieutenant laughed."

Xue Bai couldn't help them, and finally confirmed it again, and said, "It's true that only twenty hectares are yours?" ”

"This ..... is twenty hectares as far as the poor monk knows, and I am afraid that I will have to ask the host.

So let's start measuring?

The others were stunned, and the twenty hectares of land were endless, and the county lieutenant Xue only brought a literati, a martial artist, and a child, but he didn't know how to measure it.

Far away, in the west, a large group of men and horses came slowly.

That's a guy from Luoyang.

"Ming Mansion, Xue Bai has made a move."

"He really had a back move.

"Yes, Du Youlin transferred 30 people to measure the acres of land for him, in fact, there are servants of the Du family, and there are guys from Fengweilou, who are good at calculating a lot. In two days, he measured sixty or seventy hectares of fields in Kofukuji Temple, and he is still measuring them today.

"What does the host say?

"It doesn't hurt to say it, no matter how much is measured, Kofukuji doesn't pay taxes, so I'm not afraid of other measures."

Lu Linghao nodded and said, "This is the third day?" Since the Du family sent someone from Luoyang, Wang Yi came with the evidence, "still staring, and has not found it for the time being." ”

Lu Linghao pondered and muttered: "It should be good, according to Guo Erlang, Wang Yi took Du Jiazi to hide, and he must have come to find Xue Bai." He only has the line of the concubine's righteous brother who can present it, so he must keep an eye on it. ”

"Wow.......

On the fourth day of measuring the acres of land, Xue Bai was standing by the Yi River and munching on Hu cakes, when a carriage came from the west, and someone got off the carriage and walked towards Xue Bai.

The man was about five feet six inches tall, with a somewhat lame foot, his face covered, and he looked around cautiously as he walked.

"Coming?

In the wheat straw pile not far away, several tenants of Xingfu Temple were doing farm work, and the two of them who knew not how to hold a hoe were muttering quietly while staring in the direction of Xue Bai.

"Really?

"It's really Wang Yi."

"I told the blind man, you keep an eye on it, wait for them to go and get what Qu Shuai wants."

The man who spoke ran very fast, threw down his hoe and ran towards the Luo River.

The blind man was dozing in a cargo ship, and when he was pushed awake, he was immediately refreshed.

"How so?

"Wang Yi has appeared, and he is taking Xue Bai to Zhai Town."

"Zhai Zhen? I don't know how he escaped. ”

The blind man was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand how the things Qu Shuai was looking for were there, but he still ordered all the people to go over.

Along the way, people rushed to report the news.

"Ma blind, quick, just ahead, the thing has been dug up."

"Grab it!" The blind man shouted, "Beat him!" ”

"Let go!

The whistle sounded together, and the laborers and tenants moved....

The evil officials have come to catch the fugitives and force the taxes! ”

With a shout, a group of farmers with hoes suddenly ran over and surrounded Xue Bai.

Far away, I can already feel a deep resentment.

Yin Liang shook his head and said, "Shaofu measured the acres of land, in order to give these people who sold themselves a freedom, but I didn't expect them to appreciate it." ”

"It's just being instigated."

Xue Bai said, turned his head to look at the person with his face covered next to him, and said, "Untie the cloth." ”

"Whoa."

Quan Fu responded, took off the cloth on his face, threw aside the blank account book in his hand, and stopped in front of Xue Bai.

"It seems that they are really looking for Wang Yi, and he really has evidence in his hands." Xue Bai was still chatting with Yin Liang, and muttered:

"But I don't know where Wang Yi took Du Wulang."

Yin Liang thought about it and sighed: "It seems that what Shaofu said is right, Song Mian and these people are also in the same stream, for Wang Yi."

Xue Bai followed Yan Zhenqing to catch the fugitive, although the fugitive family sold his body, and his children have been cheap slaves for generations, but his complexion is much better than that of the household. Therefore, he can see that from the north of the county seat to Shouyang Mountain, the entire land belongs to the high-ranking families.

Luhun Villa has at least 1,000 hectares of land, but only pays 200 hectares of land tax....... this is just one of the clues, coupled with Wang Yanxian's death, Xue Bai can't believe Song Mian, so he gave it a try.

Drive the wicked away!

The hoe-wielding farmers were getting closer.

Yin Liang felt more and more disappointed.

In Yanshi County, Song Mian, the only one who was willing to help them, was also an enemy.

He is not afraid of difficulties, but he is afraid of this loneliness without relatives.

I don't know how Wang Yi escaped.

suddenly

"The county lieutenant runs away! They're going to kill you!

A shout suddenly sounded in the direction of the Luo River in the north, and there were several small figures running.

It was Ren Mulan who was running with a few of her companions, shouting to report to Xue Bai.

"The blind man is going to kill you! Run!

Luoyang.

An old man pushing a dung cart slowly walked into the alley and pushed the dung bucket into a dark hut.

Wang Yi walked over with a lame leg and asked anxiously, "Have you heard?" How's Green Ring? ”

"The dog baby is still inquiring, don't worry.

Tied to the corner, Du Goro couldn't help asking, "Who is the green ring?!" ”

Wang Yi didn't answer, and paced to herself.

Du Wulang said: "If you have to believe me, I may be able to help you save people." ”

"Believe you?" Wang Yi picked up Du Wulang and said, "I believe you magnates? Didn't you ask me how I escaped? You have seen all these people who saved me, the green ring who was a slave, the old guard who sold sugar gourds, Liu Da who dug dung, the dog baby who begg, and Ren Mulan who was a thief...... I believe in them, I don't believe in you! ”

Wang Yi was also very tired.

But he has survived to this day, and there are so many people who have helped him, and he doesn't want to let them down.

Sometimes when he closed his eyes, he could often hear them shouting, saving him again and again.

"Let's go! Run!

"Run!

On the bank of the Yishui River, Ren Mulan shouted with all her might, seeing that Xue Bai was still standing there stupidly and did not escape, she simply roared and rushed forward.

"Go up! Don't let the county lieutenant stab the blind man with a secret knife! ”

Those small figures rushed directly in front of Xue Bai, but they were more imposing than the officials of the Yanshi Yamen.

"Eat dog intestines, this is a county lieutenant, who dares to mess around?! *
