Chapter 46: Policy (2)

In the Han County of Dongguang, many families wore white cloth to mourn. The battle with the rebels ended in victory, but people lost their closest relatives. A sad atmosphere enveloped Yucheng, and everyone was very sympathetic to the people who died in battle to defend their homes. Yucheng ordered Wang Jiong to be a member of the fallen, and the Wang family held a grand funeral for him. The court posthumously named Wang Jiong as a county magistrate, which had no meaning to the dead, but at least it was a kind of honor.

According to the memorial of Li Bo, the governor of Han County in Dongguang, there were 736 officials in this rebellion, 1,329 people died, and more than 3,000 injured. Among the counties, the most severe injuries were caused by the county. There were also many casualties in Hanjia, but most of the people were thugs and servants raised by noble families. For such people who were not listed in the national household registration, the court only gave verbal praise without substantial compensation.

The king and Li of Hanjia fought against the clans in his third year of high school, and the people were excited to participate in the quelling of the rebellion. The people in the three major families had many retired officers and veterans, with rich combat experience and minor injuries. The people all fought with passion and courage, lacking organization and command, so they suffered heavy casualties. The rebels also knew how to pick on the weak and often attacked the side of the people's defense, which was also one of the reasons why the people suffered a lot of casualties.

The family members are responsible for the pension, and everyone receives certain compensation and benefits. Compared with the grief of losing their son and losing their husbands, this amount of money is nothing. Look at your own family and look outside, and there is a balance. Each household in the imperial court provides one hundred and fifty cents of pension, one stone of rice, and one year's tax is exempted. This is the edict issued by Your Majesty himself, and the money and rice are allocated by the treasury of each county. This news is only circulated among the gentry with status, and the people of Qi County do not know it, and the government has no announcement. There is still a compensation for the loss of relatives. If you think it is too little, then look at the common people outside.

The agent Wang Changwen had already returned to the central government to re-elect his post. The position of the emperor was temporarily under the leadership of Li Bo, the county magistrate of Dongguanghan. At sunrise, outside the county magistrate, a green-clothed scholar, kept beating the drum. The literati quickly passed by the hammer. The more he knocked, the more powerful heavier he felt, and there seemed to be endless anger in his heart. Soon, a gap appeared at the gate of the government office, and a servant looked at the Qing-clothed scholar, yawning and yawning.

"Why are you again? Didn't you tell you all that you were shocked and your head was cut off!" the officer leaned over and shouted.

The literati in green turned a blind eye to the drum beat. The officer had no choice but to step out of the gate and came over to grab the drumsticks. The literati naturally refused to let him go, so the two started arguing.

"The master has already bypassed you, why bother to come again? Aren't you afraid of death?" the officer whispered.

The literati in green was only over 20 years old. He looked handsome and righteous, and said indignantly: "The court clearly ordered all counties to pay mercy to the people. I would like to ask for orders on behalf of the people of Qi County, so why should I beg you?" After saying that, he got rid of the servants and beat the drums on his own.

Seeing that the officer could not take the drumsticks, he stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the genius in green and whispered: "Brother Liu is avenging the people, and I admire him in private. But my master is the county magistrate of Dongguanghan. The guy was spared last time and it will be difficult to escape this time!"

"It is not a patriot! This Han country is not a slut! How can a slut be abused by a slut!" The genius in green ignored the differences and said loudly.

At this time, many people had gathered on the street. Many people had heard that a few days ago a young scholar made a big fuss in the county government office, saying that the court issued pension money and rice, questioning the county magistrate Li Bo in public. Li Bo was not allowed to be slandered, so he wanted to throw him into prison. Later, he heard that the young man seemed to have an extraordinary family background, so he was released. Today, he came again, and the people kept talking and surrounded the streets.

While the officer and the Qing-style literati were arguing, the gate of the government office opened again, and a group of yamen ran out of both sides, surrounding the Qing-style literati. Then a middle-aged official walked out of the mansion with a big belly, followed by several minor officials. The officer who was arguing with the scholar hurriedly knelt down and said, "You are the master, this man is here to beat the drum again. The young man can't stop persuading me, please punish me!" The middle-aged official snorted and waved his hand to retreat. The officer peeked at the Qing-style literati, and sighed and retreated aside.

"Liu Ziyuan! I respect your ancestors for their virtues and let you go! I didn't expect to cause trouble again. Are you impatient to live!" the middle-aged official shouted.

"Li Wenxiao! How many people in this county are kept in the dark by you? You still don't know that the court issued an order to suffice the people. If you are not allowed to resist the order, are you impatient?" The literati in green shouted loudly with a righteous look on his face.

"Bold! What is your identity? You dare to insult the imperial officials!" A scar-faced official stood up behind Li Bo.

"I have come from Fei Wenping. Wang Zhongyuan has confirmed that the court has indeed had an edict. Are you corrupt and abused the law, and dare to say that the court has appointed officials?"

Although the imperial edict was only circulated among the gentry, many businessmen or wealthy families still knew about it through various channels. Especially the people and travelers in other counties often brought some new news. The onlookers had already believed it. Seeing Li Bo and others looking panicked, they believed that what the genius in blue said was true.

The crowd was restless, and Li Bo knew that he could not delay and hurriedly shouted, "I won't take it down!" The yamen runners stepped forward and waited to capture the genius in green. The genius pulled out a dagger from his sleeve to protect his body, turned his head and shouted to the crowd, "The court has an order, each household will be 150 yuan, each meter is one stone, and tax is exempted for one year!"

When the yamen runners around saw the scholar pulling out their daggers, they pulled out their knives and rushed up. Li Bo was so angry that he shouted: "Cake it quickly, take it quickly!" The sage fought against the crowd, and the dagger in his hand was short, and few of them saw red. All the yamen runners were Li Bo's confidants, and they showed no mercy.

The genius in green knew that he could not escape death. He waved his dagger and forced the yamen runners to retreat. He put the dagger on his chest and said loudly: "This money, rice, taxes, and taxes are gifts from the court. The people sacrificed their lives to fight the thief's deserve! Li Wenxiaoru, a wolf-hearted person, dare to get this kind of money!"

Seeing the genius in green clothes at the end of his journey, Li Bo couldn't help laughing wildly: "Stop talking crazy, even if you die, you will commit suicide fearlessly!"

"How can I, Liu Shao, be seven-foot man, die at the hands of a treacherous slander! Even if blood splashes for five steps, I will kill you, a traitor, to eliminate harm to the people!" Before the genius in green finished speaking, several yamen runners had approached from behind and slashed them straight down.

"Show mercy!" Seeing that Liu Shao was in danger, a scholar rushed out of the crowd and shouted.

Unfortunately, the shouting had no effect on several yamen runners. They saw their waists and saw their backs slashing. Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the slanting thorn, and a bamboo stick hit the back of the yamen runner's hands one after another. The yamen runner couldn't hold the knife, and the waist and swords fell to the ground. Liu Shao reacted and hurriedly avoided the side. The person who came was wearing a thick linen, with a grass ring on his head and a straw sandal, standing dirty. The bamboo stick in his hand was placed on his shoulders, staring at him with a smile.

"What are you going to be! Kill them together!" Li Bo saw that the person who came was very skilled, fearing that he would have many dreams, so he ordered everyone to take action. Dozens of servants rushed out of the government office, surrounding Liu Shao and the dirty young people. Seeing that Liu Shao was spared, the people became excited, and many people angrily scolded Liu Shao for being unjust. Many people had just died in their families. Seeing that Liu Shao was in danger, they shared the same hatred for the enemy, and they had the tendency to rescue Liu Shao.

"Kill!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the scar-faced official behind Li Bo shouted coldly.

Dozens of yamen runners took action together, and they greeted Liu Shao and the others. Liu Shao was about to fight to the death, but he was pushed by the dirty boy, and he took a few steps back and hit the drum platform. The boy slipped and fell into the crowd. Wherever he went, he could only hear the shouts, and seven or eight yamen runners fell to the ground. When the boy fell back to Liu Shao, he took the opportunity to knock down the two yamen runners besieging Liu Shao.

Liu Shao leaned against the drum platform and tried hard to resist the attack of several people. There were a few more blood marks on his body. Seeing that the boy sacrificed his life to save him, he was grateful. He was about to ask the boy's name, but he saw that the boy's back was bleeding and was also very injured.

The middle-aged scholar who had called for his mercy before saw that there were several lives in a blink of an eye, rushed towards Li Bo and said, "You can't stop!"

The scar-faced official behind Li Bo brought a few minor officials to stop him and said, "This is the remnants of the traitors, kill them all!"

The middle-aged scholar's face was as deep as water and shouted coldly: "I am Wen Li, the assistant minister of the Yellow Sect, stop quickly!"

When Li Bo heard Wen Li's identity report, he was shocked and suspicious. The Huangmen Minister was not in the palace to serve His Majesty, so why did he come here? Seeing this person's extraordinary temperament, he seemed to have some identity.

Liu Shao and the dirty boy couldn't resist the melee crowd, and they were in danger for a few more times. The boy shouted, "Is there no chivalrous here!"

When the onlookers saw that they moved, many of them were timid, but they were indignant but did not dare to act. Hearing the boy's shout, more than ten men couldn't help but pick up wooden sticks and bamboo poles and joined the battle group. The servants and yamen runners were not careful and the people behind them really dared to take action. They were caught off guard and were knocked down more than ten people.

"Kill them all!" Li Bo hesitated and the scar-faced official shouted suddenly, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Wen Li.

Wen Li calmed down very much and did not dodge or avoid it. He shouted, "Where is Guan Hu?"

At the same time, Li Bo saw Scarface so recklessly and shouted anxiously: "No!"

I saw a honest young man behind Wen Li didn't see any movement. He had already arrived in front of Wen Li. Before the scar face had cut his sword, he felt a chill in his throat and fell to the ground and could no longer get up.

Someone took the lead in rushing into the battle group, and many people joined the battle with excitement. Li Bo's servants and yamen runners saw that the people were like this, and they dared to fight and fled one after another. Li Bo also wanted to escape, but he couldn't move his legs. The honest young man beside Wen Li looked approachable, but the sword that killed Li Cheng was too fast. Li Cheng was a scar-faced official and a tribe member who had followed him for many years. At this time, hundreds of officers and soldiers came and surrounded the entire street. When the people were angry, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw the sword and war formation.

The generals who led the troops walked into the crowd and bowed to Wenli: "The last general, the infantry captain Wang Jie, visited Lord Wen, General Guan!"

Wang Jie is the garrison of Weicheng and is of the same clan as Wang Changwen. The reason why Wang Changwen can quickly organize the military and civilians to effectively intercept the rebels was mostly due to this person's contribution. Seeing this, Li Bo hurriedly saluted and said nervously: "Li Bo, the governor of Dongguanghan County, visited the two masters. The subordinates were ignorant and collided with the two masters. Please forgive me for your crime!"
