Three Four Four Horseshoe Brings Huai River Water (1)

Wu Weiye sat in the sedan chair, shaking rhythmically, with all kinds of thoughts.

When he came to Luoyang last time, Wu Weiye encountered the biggest setback in his life. He will never forget the original poetry and picturesque king and ministers who were having fun together in the Fu Palace, which instantly brought him a catastrophe. To this day, he has forgotten what the scene was in Luoyang a year ago, and he can often remember the cold and majestic face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day.

This method of completely smashing people and then pile them up is really cruel.

Wu Weiye still felt scared when he thought about it.

However, later he became the prefect and really came into contact with common affairs. Especially this time, he fought with the evil gentry in Huaiqing Mansion, which really made people grow up a lot. At least when he looked back, he regarded the Crown Prince's order as a joke and did not take it seriously that he would be guilty of his own crime. If it were not for the Eastern Palace's rightful employment, it would not be an exaggeration to behead him.

Wu Weiye remembered his past misfortune, and the scene of those evil gentry kneeling in front of him appeared in his mind, and he was still a little excited. He didn't know what Shen Jiaxian would do to these people, nor did he want to know that the thought of the dead would still make him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Master, Luoyang is ahead." Uncle Zhong pointed to the brick wall in front of him, and his calm tone was quite joyful.

It is not an easy task to hurry up these days.

Especially for his age, it is too painful to travel in the middle of winter.

However, from the perspective of mental state, Zhong Bo is much more energetic than Wu Weiye.

Wu Weiye lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw the towering Luoyang city wall. Looking at the people coming and going outside the city, they were all frightened birds, and they felt a little regretful. Somehow they remembered the saying "The rise and fall of Luoyang is the time for the world to be ruled and chaotic."

However, this sadness quickly disappeared. Wu Weiye saw several official signs erected at the city gate, which clearly stated the official title of Liao Xing, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. Although he was not a close friend with Liao Xing, he met at this moment, as if he was reunited with his old friend, and hurriedly ordered people to catch up.

"Okay, Liao Longzhi. His Highness the Crown Prince has an order: Officials at all levels are not allowed to yell gongs and hang signs, and they are yelling to disturb the people. What crime should you be punished if you know the law is broken!" Wu Weiye stepped forward and shouted, with a flush of excitement on his face.

Liao Xing did not look like a prefect at this moment? He was wearing a green Taoist robe and sat on a stool at a small stall at the gate of the city, blowing noodle soup, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated, and looked like he was afraid of being scalded. It was very funny.

Hearing Wu Weiye's voice, Liao Xing turned his head and still did not put down the gap pottery bowl in his hand, saying, "Brother Meicun, don't you get a bowl? This mutton soup is so fragrant!"

Wu Weiye smelled the mutton soup and shook his head and said, "I can't eat the smell of mutton."

"Master. There is also donkey meat soup here!" The vendor who set up a stall looked at Wu Weiye with a smile on his face, grinning with a mouthful of yellow teeth: "I'll have a bowl of it to replenish qi, blood, yin, yang, calm the mind and relieve irritability to ensure that you can rise step by step!"

Wu Weiye almost couldn't help laughing. Seeing Liao Xing waved to him, he simply walked over. He felt that sitting on the stool was indecent, so he just stood there. He asked the vendor to serve a bowl of donkey meat soup. He leaned to his mouth and blew the scallions on it. He felt that the fragrance was fragrant and not too heavy. Just when he was about to drink it, he heard Liao Xing's silence and blew the sound of drinking. Finally, he couldn't help laughing and could no longer drink it.

"Go and ask my family, and give them what they want to drink, and they can also make money." Wu Weiye said to the vendor.

When the vendor saw that there were crowds of people there, there were at least a dozen people. He was overjoyed and said, "Master, you are such a Bodhisattva's heart! Buddhas and Bodhisattvas bless you for generations of ministers!"

Liao Xing put down the bowl, a light layer of sheep oil beside his mouth, and shook his head and said, "Oh, it's a wealthy family after all, tsk tsk, just to make me look like a slim heart."

The north and south of the Ming Dynasty were like two countries. The north was more conservative and paid great attention to respect and inferiority. Even if the Liao family was quite generous to the servants, they would not let the servants eat together with the master's family. At least they had to wait until the master's family had eaten well before it was the servant's turn to eat. More particular families could not even use the pot and stove together.

The atmosphere in the south is much more open. Qian Qianyi married Liu Rushi in broad daylight according to his wife's treatment, but he was only smashed by someone to a ship of broken bricks and tiles. If he was in the north, even the boat might be overturned. As for the family, the treatment of servants was much higher than that of his fellow travelers in the north. Some housewives would even let concubines and even personal maids eat at the same table.

Although Wu Weiye is much more pedantic than Liao Xing, his living habits are more open-minded than Liao Xing.

"Where did you come from this official card?" Wu Weiye was more concerned about these brands that represent identity.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave it to you." Liao Xing said proudly.

"Why are you allowed to use it alone?" Wu Weiye was even more surprised.

"Because Kaifeng Prefecture has been in full swing in just thirteen days." Liao Xing pretended to be calm and gentle: "The Huangming News has sent interviewers to collect materials. It will be around these two issues, and there will be a large section of special articles."

Wu Weiye felt angry when he heard this and said, "You are slaughtering day and night in Kaifeng, and you can even publish a special article with such a big fanfare?"

"Wrong!" Liao Xing raised his eyes while drinking mutton soup, and said, "The people I kill in Kaifeng are the people who should be killed, and each of them is the only one who is sure of the evidence. Now you go to Kaifeng to see, it is 'men are divided, women are home, widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, orphans, and disabled people have a place to support'! Alas, I said, sit down and talk, making it look like I'm kneeling on you."

When Wu Weiye heard Liao Xing brag about himself, he actually used the words and sentences describing the world of Datong in the Book of Rites to gild himself. He couldn't help but spit and said, "Shameless!"

"Hey, I won't do anything you can't do, so I can do it?" Liao Xing was also not happy.

"I have arrested several criminals in the palace and they have to resist stubbornly. How can you settle the thirty counties in Kaifeng Prefecture be settled within 13 days?" Wu Weiye only thought this was simply a fool and sneered: "How long does it take to travel to thirty counties?!"

"I am the prefect, why do you have to do everything?" Liao Xing also stood up and drank mutton soup and smiled: "I just need to send my subordinate county magistrates to execute the orders. As for those who resist, haha, I'm so embarrassed. Kaifeng is a country of etiquette and culture, and there is really no one!"

"How is that possible!" Wu Weiye shouted: "Have you never had a local tyrant built a fort!"

"Hahaha," Liao Xing laughed, "You are right, but before I arrived in Kaifeng, they had already demolished the village walls."

"Impossible!" Wu Weiye frowned and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Those forts are their homes and are where they can store grain to save lives. I am afraid that they will not be built high or thick enough, so how can I demolish them?"

The defense and determination to resist this kind of fortress are even greater than that of the county town. Because they are the lifeblood of the wealthy families. They don’t care about kneeling down to the Ming Dynasty or Dashun, but they will never allow the government, bandits, or local thieves to touch their life.

"I had issued a notice of peace before," Liao Xing said seriously, "Tell them that the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers were about to achieve great success in their storm. In the future, Kaifeng will be the heart of the Central Plains again, and there will be a royal army to protect the people and be without any danger of thieves. Therefore, any exterior wall of a village that is more than three feet tall can only be used with a bamboo fence. Those who dare to use rammed earth walls will be regarded as a rebellion and resist the Tianshi. The whole village is captured on the spot and entered the hard work camp."

"They broke the wall after reading the notice?" Wu Weiye didn't believe it at all.

"How is that possible!" Liao Xing licked the circle's mouth and said, "But, what is the guerrilla battalion for? His Highness made it clear at the conference that day that the guerrilla battalion is going to open the way for us!"

Using the combat power of the guerrilla camp to pull out Tuzhai Village and Fort is like killing chickens and using a cattle knife. Basically, they shoot one shot from afar and surrender obediently.

Even shells don't have to be put in.

"Those innocent people..."

Liao Xing's face darkened: "Who are innocent people in the land today? If these wealthy gentry who only care about their own family will indeed have innocent people if they kill them, but if two of them kill two of them, they will definitely miss the net."

"I won't argue with you about this," Wu Weiye said again, "You demolish the village guardrail. How can they resist those thieves come?"

"No need to resist." Liao Xing said: "I have avenged them. The local Su Lao came to Kaifeng Prefecture to thank me, calling me 'Liao Qingtian'."

Wu Wei is no longer the simple lecturer of the East Palace that day, he can already see this little trick to play with people's hearts.

The bandits robbed the people's property, then wiped out the bandits, and ate the "stolen goods" cleanly. This is the first benefit.

For the people, the government helped them avenge their revenge and settle their families. The bandits who should have been killed were severely punished. The prefect, the sky is bright and the people are dependent on them. This is the second benefit.

It can be said that two birds with one stone.

Well, it's not right!

And those who wiped out the bandits.

Those people... Wu Weiye guessed it right: it was the villagers who were arrested by the guerrilla camp.

These villagers were just unwilling to carry out a tyranny, so what if they were guilty? But they were thrown into the labor camp to work as laborers, so they were naturally full of despair and sadness. At this time, the shining master of the Mansion was rescued from the fire pit and sent them to clothes and food.

When this re-creation of grace, the mansion master asked them to wipe out the bandits and avenge their fellow villagers... Isn't this a matter of course?

The seemingly cruel and rude techniques are intertwined, but the subtle numbers are closely linked. Even if everyone knows that Kaifeng's "Great Rule" is actually a killer, the white bones are buried, and the Kaifeng Mansion is filled with joy. What is more important than this?

As for the culprit, the "Breaking the Wall Order", who can chew a trace of sin from the righteousness and words?

"What's wrong with Henan Province? This man-made disaster!" Wu Weiye completely turned black, ignored Liao Xing, and turned to the sedan chair.
Chapter completed!
