Chapter 1571: Xie Zhiyuan
Next, without Luo Chong asking sentence by sentence, Xie Zhiyuan told the reason why he was forced to be a thief.
To put it simply, he is a person from Wuyuan County in Guangling, and he plans to go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination next year, but Wuyuan County belongs to the second county seat affected by this rebellion, and before he can react, he was captured alive by the thieves and forced to rebel together.
For him, a scholar, the anti-thief still attaches great importance to him, and all kinds of threats and intimidation finally subdued him.
However, this kind of subjugation is also an expedient measure for Xie Zhiyuan, he claims to be not afraid of death, but he is really unwilling to die after studying hard for ten years, and then he mixes in the group of thieves......
"On the surface, I am giving them advice, but in fact, I am also trying to protect as many people as possible, so that they will not be sent to death senselessly. ”
Xie Zhiyuan self-distinguished: "For example, last night's gathering of people to make trouble, I also deliberately provoked it, just to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers in advance and arrest us." I fought for this opportunity to go out alone and take charge of the operation, and I won the trust of the anti-thief leader. ”
There is no need to say more about the suffering, anyway, Luo Chong can see whether what he is telling is the truth. Besides, isn't it just to be an official, and it is impossible for him to willingly participate in the rebellion, unless he hates this court to the core.
Luo Chong didn't doubt it, he just asked him, "Why didn't you say this during the interrogation last night?"
"Wronged, Lord Qianhu!"
Xie Zhiyuan hurriedly explained: "Your soldier is too anxious, there is a thief who confesses to me, and your soldier only asks me that you are together?" I just nodded, and before I could explain, he kicked me down and gagged me, and shouted, next!"
Luo Chong couldn't help laughing, but too, there were too many refugees and not enough manpower, so there was no time to interrogate them in detail. The soldiers are also some rough people, all of them are quite irritable, he is a scholar who speaks and does things slowly, how can the rough head soldiers have so much patience.
Luo Chong didn't care whether Xie Zhiyuan was guilty of being a thief, as long as he was sure that he was not voluntary, he asked, "Are there any relatives in the hands of the thief?"
"Thankfully, no. ”
Xie Zhiyuan replied: "It's also the luck of my parents, I went to Cangzhou two months ago to look for a new home, and I happened to escape the catastrophe." ”
"Moving to Cangzhou?"
Luo Chong asked casually.
"Yes, sir. ”
Xie Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "This is still out of the construction of the next year, predicting that our Guangning is likely to be in disaster in the next few years, it is better to move to Cangzhou, closer to the capital, and it will also be conducive to my imperial examination next year." ”
"Really?"
Hearing him say this, Luo Chong also knew that this guy was not a dead student, and his prediction of the general trend of the world was not worse than that of the old man Song, but he had not yet realized his long-cherished wish to be an official, and he was not as open as the old man Song, and he still had some obsession in his heart.
Moreover, he is not the kind of peg head who admits death, he has the right to follow the thief, and then find a chance to get out, and he can still gain the trust of the thief so quickly, and his ability in all aspects is still relatively outstanding. It's just that Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he ran into those arrogant soldiers under his command, and was almost beheaded and killed.
"That's right, Senho-sama, I think it's ...... below"
Xie Zhiyuan lifted his spirits and analyzed it for a long time below, trying to prove his judgment of the general trend of the world, but as everyone knows, Luo Chong knows better than him and doesn't listen to it at all.
"Okay, okay, I know better than you about the current situation. ”
Luo Chong didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's just that I am a military attaché, and the so-called heroes in troubled times happen to be the most ideal playground for people like me. ”
"Senho-sama!"
Xie Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he could hear it with just the words 'dragon swimming in the sea' that this Qianhu was actually a person with great ambitions. As everyone knows, what ambitions are not big, Luo Chong is just enjoying life.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so ......"
Luo Chong said lightly: "Working under me for two years, I will erase all the stains you once had from thieves, and when the time comes, it will not only give you freedom and fulfill your dream of the imperial examination, but also ensure that your career is smooth." Give you ten breaths, think about it. ”
In just ten breaths, how can you have time to think about it......
But Xie Zhiyuan was really not a fool, he almost didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded: "Thanks to Lord Qianhu's appreciation, I am very grateful." ”
This buddy can be a thief temporarily, so there will be nothing unacceptable to follow Luo Chong for two years, and the most exciting thing for him is that he can completely erase his stain as a thief, and it will not affect his future career.
You must know that although you are forced to be a thief, after all, it is also a stain, and no matter how you say it, it will affect your future.
But now, a magistrate like Luo Chong has arrested him, and he is willing to help him hide it, so naturally it is better. As long as Luo Chong doesn't say it, no one will believe the words of those anti-thieves.
It's a big deal, just take the imperial examination two years later, don't pull down your homework during this period, and you can practice it locally, correct some of the weaknesses that are exaggerated and unrealistic, and maybe your test results will be better at that time.
Moreover, Luo Chong's ambition that he had just revealed also gave him some touches, and if he could get to know a military attache who made a difference in advance, it would also be of great benefit to his future career.
Although all dynasties and dynasties will have different Cheng dù emphasis on literature and light on military force, but in troubled times, the authority and influence of military attachés are still very large.
Scholars have good brains, and Xie Zhiyuan figured out these situations in the blink of an eye, so he agreed to Luo Chong so happily.
"Not to mention, if you walk around here, you will naturally have more views and ideas. ”
Luo Chong didn't need to brag about himself, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Send Xie Juren down to take good care of him, feed him some soft food and medicinal soup, and take care of his body as much as possible." ”
This guy's physique is too weak, even if he hasn't starved much since the thief, for him, it is not a light toss, and his body is quite weak.
"Xie Zhiyuan, I am grateful to Lord Qianhu!"
Xie Zhiyuan stood up with the support of the two soldiers, and did not forget to bow and salute.
Luo Chong waved his hand and let them go down, and he also left the yamen in a hurry.
This Xie Zhiyuan's brain is quite flexible, which is more in line with Luo Chong's requirements, there must be any kind of person under his hands, and different people do different things.
There will definitely be more and more things in the future, to put it bluntly, Luo Chong is just to be lazy, and he has a subordinate with a good brain, so he can get rid of more cumbersomeness. No matter how much you enjoy life, it will not change the essence of lazy people.
The agreement to work for two years was purely a fool, and after two years, he didn't want to leave. This kind of flickering method, Luo Chong was very good at when he was on Earth. Talent, get it first.
As for the anti-thief information that Xie Zhiyuan has, this is not in a hurry, let him have a good rest first. This gang of thieves claims to be turning the sky upside down, but can they really turn against the sky?
It's just a little thief.
The town was crowded with more than 3,000 sour refugees, and the air became much more muddy.
Luo Chong walked alone on the street, and everywhere he passed, the townspeople were all 'thousands of households' and said hello, and many refugees knelt down on the street, shouting what Qingtian Lord saved our family from starvation......
There are more than 3,000 people, and there are certainly not so many empty houses in the town to accommodate them, so they can only set up tents in open spaces and squares, and a few members of the family, old and young, are crammed into rag tents of no more than two square meters.
Children cry and people are panicked, but some dogs raised by the townspeople can still lie on their stomachs or lie down calmly and leisurely.
When I came to the north gate, I saw that Luo Xiuer was doing some condolences and soup soup with some women such as the mayor's wife, but they all knew that wearing a gauze scarf on their faces could not only cover the dust, prevent infection by germs, but also prevent the strange eyes of some color sticks among the refugees.
Refugees are pitiful, but that doesn't mean they're all good.
Luo Chong watched from afar, not planning to go over, because the gaze of those women looking at him was not much stronger than a color stick, and they were all seducing without concealment.
It's not that it's self-inflicted, if you can seduce the thousand households, their husbands won't say anything, this is the magic of power.
Those who have money can do whatever it takes to climb up the ladder in order to make more money, and those who really care about chastity are the women at the bottom of the people.
However, everything must also be measured, ruining his life for the so-called chastity, it is really stupid from the perspective of modern people, Luo Chong will advocate that the widows in the town should better rebuild their marriages, so that the whole town can also be revitalized, instead of resentful women everywhere.
Over there, Luo Xiu'er felt something, and glanced over here, her eyesight was far from being comparable to Luo Chong, and she could only vaguely see that figure.
She knew that this was because Luo Chong didn't want to disturb this side, so she didn't wave her hand to greet Luo Chong, lowered her head again, and continued to be busy with soup kitchen.
Women's soup kitchens have the special effect of stabilizing people's hearts, because male refugees are embarrassed to be too rude in front of them, but it is worth advocating, although it contains a certain amount of hypocrisy.
Luo Chong went up to the northern wall again to inspect the alert state of the sergeants.
It is said that it is a city wall, the town is much smaller than the county seat, the wall is only two zhang high, that is, more than five meters, and a cloud ladder can be set up casually. The outermost layer is only a thin layer of green bricks, and the inside is all adobe, and a few large stones thrown by the trebuchet can constitute a strict zhòng damage.
The recruits stood on it in three shifts, and for now, there was enough time to rest.
"Senho-sama!"
Seeing Luo Chong coming up, the soldiers straightened their waists and saluted collectively.
"Take a break. ”
In this world, the password for a break is the characteristic of the Luo family, their discipline does not need Luo Chong to worry about, and the grassroots officers brought out by himself are all quite strict, and Luo Chong feels a little perverted.
These days, the soldiers recruited from the refugees are still recuperating their bodies, and the soldiers on the city wall are all natives of Guangling, that is, the real personal soldiers under Luo Chong's hands.
When they stand guard, they are also quietly exhaling, cultivating internal strength, not only diligently, but also relieving fatigue and maintaining enough energy. The price is that all of them are super rice buckets, bottomless pits, and gold-swallowing beasts!
