160. Wonju bandits

It is said that Li Pojun and others are anxious about the disaster in Yuanzhou, and Zhao Yan is also anxious like ants on the hot pot, just because the old mother and sister are still in Yuanzhou, although according to the price of Yuanzhou City that Zhu Cheng said, the reward he sent back every month is enough for the mother and daughter to live, but he is still worried, after all, it is two old and weak women and children, and Yuanzhou is an important place in the northwest, and the people are fierce.

Therefore, Zhao Yan was anxious along the way, and Li Pojun was also comforted by kind words along the way.

The group was galloping at this time, but they had to slow down after a while, there was no way, there was a carriage behind them, on which there were all the armor and necessary supplies.

They didn't go out of the city from time to time, at this time it was past three quarters of the hour, all the way to two hours, at this time everyone was already trembling, the horse was also snoring, as if the next moment would not be able to hold on, Li Pojun was also about to fall apart, the inner thighs were also hot and painful, the worn skin and flesh were rubbed and washed by sweat at this time, it was called a heart-piercing pain, as if it had been splashed with salt water, so Li Pojun ordered to rest on the grounds of cherishing the soldiers and being considerate of the soldiers, and he was grateful to Dade.

Looking for a small forest with a back to the sun resting, several people were frowning, Zhao Yan couldn't bear to move around, and Li Pojun couldn't persuade anything, after all, he let him rest, and people were worried about the old family.

It's just that at this time, Zhu Cheng didn't have long eyes and said: "Hey, Yuanzhou City used to be a border town, and it was also a prosperous and luxurious place, but now it is full of devastation, young Zhuang wanders in the idle streets, and the old children beg along the road, so the former governor can only be ruthless."

Li Pojun saw that someone picked up the conversation, and he also listened carefully, uh...... It's just that how did you say this, what you said about Yuanzhou now seems to have gone through chaos and hell on earth, Li Pojun raised his head violently, and sure enough, Zhao Yan looked at Zhu Cheng with a pair of big eyes, and asked urgently: "Brother Zhu, is Yuanzhou very chaotic?"

Zhu Cheng was stunned when he heard it, uh...... This seems to make people worry again, I am alone now, and the owner of the vote is okay to say, but I am just worried about the plight of the hometown of Yuanzhou, but people are not, people are still old mothers and young sisters in Yuanzhou, don't you make people more worried, don't you see the comfort of the county king and good words all the way. You're good, one sentence makes people almost don't worry about dying.

Looking at Zhao Yan, who was staring at him, Zhu Cheng was still young after all, and immediately smiled with shame, just wanting to comfort him.

Who knew that Zhao Yan directly stared at him with big eyes, and said with a serious face: "What is going on in Yuanzhou City, I hope that Brother Zhu will tell me truthfully, don't fool a certain family and comfort a certain family."

Zhu Cheng's face froze, and he looked at Li Pojun, who also glared at him, and then turned his face to the side, Cut, you provoked it yourself, see what I do.

Zhu Cheng had to roll his eyes and said honestly: "The great wilderness has no harvest, many idle idle men and gangsters have also come out, and a group of bandits have accumulated on the rice tank mountain fifty miles outside the city, led by only the surname Xiong, and blind in one eye, everyone calls him a bear blind, there are more than 200 people under his hand, specializing in hijacking the surrounding villages and past merchants, the former governor also does not care, the price of Yuanzhou has risen due to the famine, and at this time, because there are bandits outside the city, robbing the passing merchants, causing the merchants to detour Yuanzhou, As a result, there are very few itinerant vendors in the city, and the prices of goods are even more fluctuating, hey, it is very hateful."

Everyone was speechless when they heard it, and there was a group of bandits only fifty miles outside the city, which could be said to be guarding the gateway of Wonju, and was choked by someone, and the lack of past traders in Wonju was caused by this, but the governor of Wonju was speechless.

Li Pojun was also surprised, he was not surprised by the bandits, and surprised that Zhu Cheng actually knew the importance of merchants at a young age, and also knew that the price fluctuations in the city were also due to the lack of vendors.

It's just that at this time, when I tell others this, people don't understand, after all, the shameful impression of businessmen chasing profit and getting something for nothing is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to change it, you have to take it slowly, and you can't be in a hurry for a while, but Zhu Cheng can cultivate it well, and he will also be a big assistant in the future.

Not to mention the bandits, Li Pojun is very curious about the inaction of the governor of Yuanzhou, it is said that it has been nine years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's political achievements are okay, he can be regarded as a Ming Jun and benevolent monarch, and the performance assessment of officials is also very strict, and the Ministry of Officials Examination Department is in charge of the assessment of the official examination class. The place where the Tang Dynasty was founded was the establishment of the examination method, and there is a provision in the "Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty": "The examination of the position of the meritorious man is the examination of the civil and military officials inside and outside." "There are performance evaluations every year and every four years during the term of office, and those who fail to meet the requirements have relevant punishments, since the former governor is so inactive, how did he sit in this position, and he is so stable, no one has impeached him, and no one from the central government has reported it.

"Who is the history of the assassin in Yuanzhou, but what is the origin? But for some reason no one was impeached." Li Pojun thought about it for a while, probably there might be some origin of Niu B in that assassination history, so he dared to be so arrogant, he wanted to see it, could it be that it was the people of those families, Li Pojun really guessed right.

Zhu Cheng also sneered when he heard this, "That assassin is a person from the Taiyuan Wang family, doesn't he have a big background?"

Li Pojun listened to it and understood, sure enough, it was just ...... is such a coincidence, and he is from the Wang family, but he still remembers the son of Wang Yuanhua who said that he was "a villain is a stinky king".

At this time, Zhao Yan couldn't bear it anymore, seeing that His Royal Highness finished asking, he also frowned, and said straightly: "I didn't ask how it was outside the city, I only asked you how it was outside the city, can you still live in the city?"

Zhao Yan asked, Li Pojun understood, it turned out that Zhu Cheng was afraid that Zhao Yan would be worried, so he deliberately went to talk about the bandits outside the city, without mentioning the situation in the city, under the pretext of changing the topic and diverting Zhao Yan's attention, but Zhao Yan was worried, but he couldn't transfer it, Li Pojun looked at Zhu Cheng and smiled with appreciation.

When Zhu Cheng heard this, he had to make a bitter face, and said with a sigh in Zhao Yan's fixed eyes: "Hey, don't hide it from my brother, there is no rest in Yuanzhou City, those lazy people are splashing their skins, they are disturbing the neighborhood, stealing and robbing, and doing all kinds of evil, but the assassin is still ignorant of it."

When Zhao Yan heard this, his heart was like numbness, and his eyes widened, "What about the poor people of the Yamen, why don't you arrest those pickles?" ”

"Hehe, the messengers can't even take care of themselves, how can they care about them, and how dare they care, I even heard that there are still people in the yamen who have some collusion with the blind bear on the rice tank mountain, otherwise there will be no kidnapping and ransom in the city."

Zhao Yan was both hateful and anxious when he heard it, and those street gangsters also knew, they had taught them a lot of lessons when they were parents before, but now he Zhao Yan is gone, there are only two old and weak women and children in the family, and what is even more tempting is that there is gold and silver, which can hardly guarantee that those ruffians and hooligans will do any evil things.
