Fifteen years of Jianning, January

On the third day, the people of Gangneung rioted, killed the county commander, and was suppressed by the county soldiers.

On the 8th, the people in Changsha rioted, killing the county lieutenant and the servants.

On the 15th, the people of Chaisang rioted, and more than 10 people were injured by the thieves.

On the 17th...

In order to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, Xing Ziang sent elite sailors and Yangzhou soldiers to garrison everywhere, and many officials in the south were a little worried, and they didn't even dare to go out.

When the news reached Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was furious, and the Son of Heaven had the heart to investigate the affairs of the south, but for a while he could not find a minister who could be sent.

Can't send Sikong, the rest of the Wang Fu, Yuan Feng is also burdened with heavy responsibilities, and can't easily leave Luoyang, but Taiwei Zhang Wen has always proposed to lead the southern army to the south, the Son of Heaven did not agree, if he went to the south, I am afraid that it will cause a greater civil uprising, we must send a high hope, deep admiration of the people of the official rushed to the south, after thinking for a long time, finally there is a candidate, send Cai Yong to.

Cai Yong, himself is a great Confucian in the world, and has participated in the Book of Stones, and even when He Gong compiled the enlightenment chapter back then, Cai Yong was also involved, such as today's great Confucian, Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong are equally famous, Cai Yong himself has good ability, therefore, it is most appropriate to send him to the south to inspect, the Son of Heaven directly ordered him to lead a battalion of northern soldiers and horses to the south to inspect, the main reason is to find out the main reason for the southern civil uprising.

Officials from all over the country have played to tell the Son of Heaven the reason for the incident, however, the Son of Heaven still doesn't trust these people very much, and wants to send henchmen to take a look in person to understand the real facts, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, although there are occasional civil unrest in various places, but there have never been such frequent changes, the Son of Heaven is a little worried, but the ministers of the court and the central government think that this is completely Wang Fu's fault.

They found that most of these officials who were killed and wounded were officials who served through the system of scientific merit and assessment, and these talented and unvirtuous officials served as parents in various places, which caused the anger of the people, isn't it normal? The Son of Heaven often heard such a statement, but he couldn't figure it out, if it was because of the immorality of these officials, then what about the land of Yangzhou, Yangzhou was first managed by Wang Fu, and then into the hands of Xing Ziang.

It stands to reason that with Xing Ziang there, the officials have made mistakes, and he should be able to find out.

After Xing Ziang began to participate, the assassins in various places also hurriedly made some coercive measures to make these frequent civil uprisings no longer happen, Cai Yong also hurried to Jingzhou, and the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials paid close attention to the affairs in the south.

In February, the official opening of foreign trade, the Hanzhong businessmen who had long been ready to go, drove the carriages and horses, to Liangzhou, under the escort of the accompanying soldiers, all the way to Guishuang, there were elite soldiers to protect them, and no thieves dared to endanger their safety, according to the road map formulated by Zheng Xuan, there were guard towers along the way, at any time to protect their normal passage.

Around the guard tower, looking at the endless convoy in front of him, the soldiers on both sides were a little puzzled, and a strong man with a tiger's back turned his head sideways and asked: "Yuan Junhou, why do you want me to wait for some businessmen to do some guards, businessmen are cheap, isn't this an insult to the prestige of our army?" ”

"Heh, what do you know, they are going to Kushan Trade, and the money they earn on this trip can at least feed 30,000 soldiers, do you understand?"

"Thirty thousand??" Hua Xiong's eyes widened and he swallowed.

"What, you want to rob it?"

"Hahaha, as a Han army, how can I rob my own caravan?"

"Even you want to rob it, that's why we have to protect them, the more frequent they come and go, the better our food will be..."Yuan Shu said with a smile, it has been two years since he came to the Biansai area, during this period, he has participated in countless battles, and there are many scars on his face and body, and only Hua Xiong has survived until now, from a soldier to the official position of a military marquis, he relies on his own ability, not his background.

Hua Xiong looked at the caravan in front of him, licked his lips, and laughed, if these businessmen can really improve their own food, hey, it is not a problem to protect themselves, he looked at the military marquis beside him, many people in the garrison said in private, this military marquis is from a big family, or He Zi's personal disciple, but no matter how Hua Xiong looks at it, he can't see that he has the slightest bit of family spirit.

Over the years, whether it is the war Qiang people, the war thief Kou, this military marquis is the first to charge, many times, he is a little afraid and can't open his legs, this one seems to be afraid at all, I have never seen him afraid or retreat, such a person can make a family of people? Even if it is, it must be a concubine who is not taken seriously, Hua Xiong looked at Yuan Shu with some pity, but he was thinking about the rumored stories of the concubine being oppressed by his son-in-law in various ways, and finally being forced out of the house and joining the army alone.

Thinking of the exciting place, Hua Xiong couldn't help but wipe his tears and stared at Yuan Shu beside him with some affection.

Looking at his strange gaze, Yuan Shu was also a little furious in his heart.

"Hua Xiong! If you dare to stare at me like this again, and see that I don't cut off your head and feed it to the wolves! ”

"Marquis, it's okay, in the future, when you become a captain, I will command the army for you, we will return to Luoyang, and I will personally throw the head of the captured man on your brother's body!"

"Bastard! I'm my son-in-law! Sister-in-law! ”

"Alas, I understand, Marquis, alas, I understand.... It's okay, you are the son-in-law, you are the real sister-in-law of the Yuan family! Hua Xiong's eyes were sincere, he looked at Yuan Shu, clenched his fists, and said solemnly.

The caravan was escorted by many soldiers, slowly walking towards Guishan, and Guishan also sent soldiers to meet them, in order to protect their safety, the business of the Kushan Empire was extremely developed, for merchants, they were not as hostile as the Han, in Guishan, rich people can be greatly respected, and they can even buy the corresponding noble status, therefore, many merchants in Guishan regard the noble status as the goal of their lives and strive for it.

At the same time, Cai Yong also rushed to Jingzhou, he did not look for local officials, but directly sent soldiers to control the local Taishou and many officials, personally rushed to the countryside, asked the people, here, he felt a different atmosphere from other places, these people after seeing the officials, not only did not respect, but was a little hostile, which in Cai Yong's view, is unimaginable.

However, when he told the people of his identity, they immediately bowed and wept loudly.

Cai Yong listened carefully, his brows already furrowed.
