Chapter 631 The cause!
If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Wu Youde knew about the incident that the spy was left to observe around the survivor's house, but he really did not expect that the inner guards with less than a few hundred people in front of him could have such combat power.
Especially the unknown "General Qin", a pair of bright silver maces, who played so beautifully, with a long mace and a short mace to defend themselves. From this, he must have been born in the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion. Who in the world knows Qin Qiong's unique skills?
According to the spies' reward, the people who were hijacked were taken to a villa fifteen miles outside Linchuan County. This villa is said to have been built by a merchant surnamed Liu three years ago. Because the location is relatively remote and there are no people living there, the county government did not include it as the investigation target during the investigation.
Wu Youde blamed himself for this negligence. Therefore, after returning to the county yard, he summoned all three yamen runners and handed them all over to Wu Deng, who was going to encircle and suppress them. He repeatedly instructed them to rescue all the people as much as possible and not let them follow the footsteps of the former.
The county yamen main hall, Changsun Chong, "Qin Ming", and Wu Youde were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and drinking tea, while discussing the action tonight. It is indeed a pity that the "final battle" cannot be visited in person, but there is no way. They have to protect Changsun Chong, the imperial envoy, the emperor's son-in-law, the emperor's Dongshui prince-consort!
Just when the three were bored, a group of men in black rushed into the lobby with bright knives. More than a dozen guards left behind drew out their weapons and protected Changsun Chong and the other two behind, confronting the visitor with a nervous expression.
Seeing that they didn't do anything, Changsun rushed behind and shouted loudly: "Since they are all here, why are you still thinking of a turtle with your head? Show your face! Even if you want to die, you can't be a fool!"
Papa... Just after Changsun Chong's words fell, a very elegant middle-aged man walked in in a black cloak. This person was no one else - Zhang Wanfu, the largest gentry in the county.
"Several officials, I didn't expect that you will be counting and sending out all the powers at hand, but the one who was rushing was an empty village, which made me empty, making me take advantage of the loophole. This is really a fate to make people!" After saying that, Zhang Wanfu sat down and drank it on his own.
"Brother Zhang, I really didn't expect that the real murderer behind the scenes would be you. No wonder, who would have thought that the gentle and gentleman Zhang could do such a crazy act! He has come, can you ask Brother Zhang to teach you how to be a person? Why do you do this?" Li Chengqian sat down openly, touching the ground with a long mace, putting his short mace on his legs, and asked with a faint smile.
Hahaha..., "General Qin, you are smart and capable, and you have killed all the people I sent to ambush. It is indeed a rare talent, but you are wrong with following your boss who thought he was stupid, otherwise you would not have fallen into this field. Well, for the sake of being friendly when we met, I will satisfy your curiosity today!"
After saying that, Zhang Wanfu took a sip of tea, sighed a long sigh, and spoke slowly with a look of memories. The cause of the incident was that in the fourth year of Wude, the Tang general Yang Shilin and Tian Zan defeated Zhu Can, the traitor who had been treasonous and surrendered, and classified Nanyang as Tang territory. The King of Nanyang ran to Luoyang and defected to Wang Shichong, and the people who were deeply raped by Zhu Jie were relieved.
After the Tang army entered the country, they immediately issued a notice of relief, reducing rent and interest rates, and those who came back were all restored to their positions and divided the fields. This made the people who survived the war in Nanyang very grateful, and the people's hearts settled down. After Nanyang's return, the people who fled abroad because of Zhu Jie's tyranny and fled abroad all began to return to their hometown. They would rather love the land of their hometown than love the ten thousand taels of gold in a foreign land. It is not easy to make a living outside. The fallen leaves are the right way to return to the roots, so the people who fled to the nearby prefectures also embarked on the way to counter the countryside in groups.
In all dynasties, famines have been migrated by a village or village group. Few families escaped famine independently. The reason is very simple. People do not hurt the tiger's heart, and tigers are of the best. People's hearts are unreliable. People's people's hearts can not only help each other, but also play a role in safety and insurance. Therefore, over time, it has become a rural custom.
This is a good thing and a serious business. When we come together, we naturally have to go back together. Both men, women, young and old have made sufficient preparations to head from the country road or the mountains towards Nanyang. Some people may ask, why do we have to walk on the winding and rugged path without leaving the road well?
That's because other places were not in the Tang territory at that time, and the anti-kings there would not allow the people in their jurisdiction to pay tribute to the enemy and pay grain, so they set up Lukas on the road, which forced the people to take risks and shuttle between the mountains and forests. The people in Wang Village were no exception. Since Zhu Jie came, they fled south with their families. After receiving the news, they also set off and embarked on the road to anti-village. Zhang Wanfu and his mother were also one of them.
Years of war, the countryside was deserted, and layered exploitation by anti-kings and corrupt officials, which left everyone without much savings, so the food they carried was very limited. The mountain roads in the mountains were rugged, and women, children, young and old were slow to move, so the small amount of food was quickly exhausted.
The returning team began to die of illness and starvation. Every day, everyone buried some familiar relatives and friends, and the sadness of rabbits and foxes filled the rectification team. At this time, the hunters in the team played a life-saving role. They used their skills to capture animals, gained meat for everyone, and also gained the right to speak in the team.
But meat is limited after all, and it is impossible for everyone to eat. Looking at the children, the elderly are almost hungry. Some women have to give up their shame and exchange their bodies for some food in order to make their families live. People are poor and have short ambitions, thin and long hair, and they are about to starve to death. They still have enough face to see. Those men with wives have also agreed to their wives' behavior.
Zhang Wanfu was a half-aged child at that time, and when he was growing up, he was not enough to eat anything. In order to make him survive, his mother kept losing the Zhang family's incense, so she had to put down her ladies and lick her face to ask those hunters who were inconspicuous on weekdays.
Hunters who have received the sweetness naturally do not want such good days to end too early, so they communicate with each other and only get a small portion of the meat every day. Whoever looks beautiful and whoever can serve them comfortably will get food to make themselves and their families survive.
