1086. The Injustice of Caohu

Next to the food shop, Li Pojun frowned, Yangzhou... Corrupt officials...... Caohu, according to Li Pojun's knowledge, these Caohu are responsible for Cao Yun, the imperial court water transport needs a large number of personnel to dredge the river, repair the Cao canal, these people are called Cao Hu, generally Cao Hu are fixed, but also family heirloom, generations to the imperial court Cao Yun Yamen work, is considered a "state-owned enterprise" personnel, generally speaking, it is an iron rice bowl, the Yamen will pay their wages, which is much better than the farmers who live by watching the year.

But why do these people cry out here, corrupt officials exploit and gangsters bully...... Li Pojun thought of it a lot in an instant.

At this time, Zhang Wenqian also frowned and looked at the group of Caohu beggars and said: "Lang Jun, according to the clear provisions of the "Wude Law", those who skip the level of the appellant must first eat forty lashes, and this group of Caohu begging along the road will also go to Beijing to appeal, which is a great grievance."

Liang Ze also said bluntly: "Forty whips, tsk, if it weren't for the great grievances, it is estimated that he would not be so deadly."

"Forty lashes is nothing when they can't even live, and I see despair in their eyes." Chen Kang also shook his head and sighed on the side.

Li Pojun looked at Zhang Wenjun, Zhang Wenjun also nodded vaguely, Li Pojun took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Hey, those guys are slow."

The elder beggar was stunned, looked around, and then pointed at himself hesitantly and looked at Li Pojun and said, "This Langjun, are you calling me again?" ”

"Come here, there is food here, take it and eat it." Li Pojun pushed the plate of hemp balls in his hand and smiled.

Several beggars were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly came over to thank them, gobbling up the hot hemp balls, which made Li Pojun's heart congested for a while.

Several beggars were eating in the wind, and the older beggar was more steady, and thanked him while eating: "Thank you Langjun, you are really a good person, thank you Langjun ......." The old man choked as he spoke.

"Don't talk yet, you eat slowly" Seeing that the two plates of hemp balls were soon gone, Li Pojun stretched out his hand and said, "Shop, fry five more plates."

"Eat slowly, it's still after eating." Li Pojun said directly to the white-haired old man.

"Lang Jun broke the bill, we, we are full, don't break the bill anymore." The white-haired old man swallowed the last mouthful of hemp balls, swallowed saliva and said directly.

Li Pojun nodded secretly, the old man was kind-hearted, and waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Hey, it's not in the way, it's just a few hemp balls, I can't eat poor."

Tears mixed with the old man's cheeks, and the furrows on his face showed the vicissitudes of the old man's hard work, and it could be seen that Li Pojun and the others were either rich or expensive, and they didn't talk much, and they didn't eat the hot hemp balls without fear of being hot.

Li Pojun then asked: "Dare to ask where the old man is from?" What do you call it? ”。

The old man said: "If you return to Langjun, we are from Yangzhou, you can call me Lu Lao Er, these people are all from my village."

Li Pojun bowed his head and asked with concern: "I just heard from you that despite the forty lashes that overstepped the appeal, you have to go all the way to Beijing to file a complaint, so there must be a great grievance, right?" ”

When Uncle Lu heard this, he looked sad and nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the great grievances, who would go to an unfamiliar place to complain."

"I don't know what grievances you have, and who you are accusing." Li Pojun asked again and again. Anyway, a few of them shouted and complained along the street, and they were not afraid that people would know, and it was not a secret.

Uncle Lu said: "Good teacher Langjun knows, we are suing Yangzhou Caoyun Yamen."

Li Pojun was taken aback, and glanced at Zhang Wenjun, "Caoyun Yamen? ”

"Yes, we are Caohu on both sides of the canal, responsible for dredging the river, and also ordered to tug boats as slender men, we have no fields to cultivate, and we have lived on the protection salary issued by the imperial court for generations, but you don't know, Caoyun Yamen is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and we haven't seen a lot of money in the protection salary allocated by the imperial court. We who depend on the pension for a living are completely unable to live." Uncle Lu wept sadly and said, "We Caohu people have been making a living on the canal for several lifetimes, there is no field, and there are no farm tools, and now we are not even paid for this hygienic work, how can we live......

Zhang Wenqian heard it with great hatred, and said bluntly: "Then why don't you go to Yangzhou Assassin Mansion to report it?" ”

"Hey, why didn't you go, our whole village went, but the government said that we were a mob, it was the Diao people who wanted to rebel, and they used knives and guns against us, and they also killed two descendants of our village, saying that it was a riot of the Diao people, and they were killed to set an example, woo, they were wronged, they were honest all their lives, and in the end they were killed by the government...... Saying that, the old man couldn't cry anymore.

With a bang, Li Pojun smashed his fist on the desk, "It's really hateful" After saying that, he looked at the old man and said kindly: "Do you have a paper?" ”

"Yes, yes, our whole village pooled money to hire a teacher to write a pleading." Uncle Lu hurriedly responded and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Li Pojun took it and looked at it, he was already trembling with anger, "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials should be killed, they should be killed."

Then he handed it to Zhang Wenjun, "Zhigui, take a look."

Liang Ze looked at him in a daze, looking at Li Pojun's eyes a little incomprehensible, Li Pojun's anger really scared him, and he didn't do anything else with such grievances, why did he be so angry, Liang Ze was a little puzzled.

Zhang Wenqian looked at it, thought about it for a while, and was about to speak, but he looked at Liang Ze and stopped talking.

Liang Ze was also stunned, what does this mean, and you have to avoid me.

Li Pojun pressed his hand and said straightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I know some honest officials, and they can accept your complaints."

Uncle Lu was stunned when he heard this, looked back, and several people behind him also looked surprised and delighted in disbelief, Zhang Wenqian said with relief: "Since my family Langjun has spoken, your affairs will be taken care of, so don't worry." After that, he whispered a few times in the ear of the old man.

"Thank you Lang Jun, thank you Lang Jun for your great kindness, I'll wait ......." Old Uncle Lu was stunned for a while, and with tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of Li Pojun and bowed, and several Cao Hu behind him also followed to thank him.

Li Pojun got up blankly and helped his father-in-law up, "Don't worry, everyone, please get up, I will take care of this matter, and I will hand your paper to the relevant department." As he spoke, he took out a few grains of silver barley from his arms and stuffed them into the old man's hand, "You will take these plates and go back to your hometown first, and then someone will go to you to collect evidence and investigate."
