Chapter 632: Explaining Grievances
The law enforcement guards finished beating the twenty military sticks, and the hundreds of people who were still arrogant before were now lying on the ground like defeated roosters, screaming and wailing. Li Xin ordered someone to escort the general over, and bluntly told him to his face, so that he could leave from here with people, but if there was another traitor, if he was bumped into by the Three Guards, he would still be punished in this way.
Jing Fengwu heard that the other party was under the command of Wei Guogong, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and when he heard that the Marquis of Zhenyu was still unforgiving, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, wouldn't this offend Wei Guogong even more? Hey, after he sighed, he couldn't help but worry about his own owner. He knows the origin of Sun Ji and Li Xin, in a sense, the two of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope, Li Xin offended the Duke of Wei ruthlessly, will it also affect his own proprietor? He was worried, so he didn't care how Li Xin was reprimanding those generals, anyway, the matter had come to this, could the situation be a little worse.
Although his face was still unconvinced, his attitude finally softened, and he endured the severe pain and humiliation on his buttocks, and after listening to Li Xin's reprimand, he greeted him fiercely, and hundreds of officers and soldiers limped away with their own master wolf bรจi, and as for the two water bandits who were captured with all their might, they didn't mention it.
Li Xin had long felt that there must be something strange about these two so-called water bandits, so he asked the Nachen County Order to know the origin of these two water bandits. Unexpectedly, before Li Xin's words landed, the Chen County Order continued to say that he didn't know and didn't know.
This made Li Xin surprised for a while, and he could see from the changes in Chen County's face that this person must know the origin of these two water bandits. He comforted him with good words: "The county lord doesn't have to worry, even if you know what you say, you will never be implicated." โ
Chen Xianling couldn't bear Li Xin's scorching gaze, so he had to sigh and said: "Alas, the lower officials only know a scale and a half claw, these two people are not considered water bandits strictly speaking, their family lives in the local area, and they are famous businessmen, but they didn't know why they hooked up with the Taihu Lake water bandits last year, so they were taken by the official army, and it was an errand personally run by the Governor's Office of the Later Army." This big and small one was lucky to escape a catastrophe by going to relatives, who knows, or was denounced, and then they were arrested again, they met the town captive marquis, I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune! โ
In the end, Chen Xianling's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but no matter how Li Xin asked, he could only spread his hands, saying that he didn't know either, and he had no choice but to do it.
Li Xin was no longer embarrassed by Chen County's order, and immediately told him that he would have to be disturbed more in the coming days, because the Three Guards would still be stationed within his jurisdiction according to Sun Jiao's plan. So, he took out the fire paint official document given to him by Sun Ji and handed it to Chen County.
Chen County's order is like a mourning of the virtues of the concubine, the mood is really depressed to the extreme, and he regrets in his heart, he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and the mildew star is high, not to mention, and the disaster is not a single line. But since this matter has Sun Butang's official document, he will not dare to dismiss this district and county order even if he has 10,000 guts. Besides, he looked at the tens of thousands of Sensen soldiers on the dock, and knew that it would be useless even if he protested. It's just that he knows that soldiers are like bandits, and the soldiers crossing the border are like bandits crossing the border, and it is the people along the way who suffer.
After several hesitations, Chen Xianling finally mustered up the courage and said to Li Xin: "The marquis of Zhenyu still has a ...... affection."
Li Xin asked him to say it directly. Chen Xian Ling wiped his sweat at this time, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said tremblingly: "The people under the rule of the lower officials just suffered from the flood last year, and I hope that the marquis of the town can take care of them, take care of their subordinates, be compassionate, sympathetic to the people......"
Although Chen County's order tried his best to euphemistically wording, if these words fell into the ears of the arrogant and domineering warriors, they had no intention of pointing their noses and scolding. But what he is embarrassed about is that after all, he is a county parent, if he doesn't even adhere to this bottom line, what face does he have to be an official in Longtang.
Li Xin laughed when he heard this, and didn't say a word for a long time. This made the heart of the Chen County Commander can't help but beat a drum, and the heart of the town is the marquis, you are killing or chopping to give a happy word, don't let people suffer in suspense.
"The county is filtered, the three guards dare not guarantee anything else, only the people have not violated this article at all, you and Jiang Xin put it in the stomach, Li Xin dares to pack a ticket with you!"
Looking at the pleasant Li Xin, Chen Xianling stared at him with an unbelievable look, and suddenly he realized that he had lost his temper again, hurriedly apologized, and thanked him again, praising Li Xin for being sympathetic to the people and having the style of the ancients. Since Li Xin gave him this guarantee, Chen Xian ordered a hanging heart to land, so he did not hesitate to praise Li Xin.
But then he became worried again, so he had the courage to ask again: "The lower official still has a sentence that should not be asked, I don't know the grain and grass of the army under the command of the Marquis of Zhenyu...... Where does it come from? Chen Xianling's words were extremely difficult, as if it took a lot of effort to say them.
Such a rambling rampage made Li Xin laugh for a while, and as soon as his mind moved, he changed the rhetoric that had been prepared to be exported.
"Sun Butang said that there are many inconveniences in the grain transfer, and there may be some grain, and you have to rely on Gui County to pay in advance."
After Li Xin finished speaking, he looked at Chen County's expression, and when Chen County's order heard that there was no grain to be paid in advance by Longtan County, his face immediately turned red, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he almost cried. After a long pause, Chen Xian Ling replied as if crying: "It's not that the lower officials are prescribing under the pretext, it's really that there is no surplus grain in the county, and I can't take it out, please, please also ask the marquis of the town to forgive the sins, forgive the sins!" โ
As he spoke, there was a posture of kneeling down and pleading for mercy. Li Xin felt that he was a little too spoofed, so he hurriedly supported the Chen County Order, and bluntly said that he could rest assured that the grain of the Three Guards Army had its own channels for promotion, and he would not use one grain from Longtan County.
After saying that, Li Xin smiled and rushed to interrogate the water bandit brother, leaving only Chen County, who had not yet turned the corner, stunned in a daze. By the time he understood it, Li Xin had already gone far, so he hurriedly trotted up with his robe and clothes, and asked uneasily: "What does the Marquis of Zhenyu mean that the Three Guards take care of their own food?" Don't use our county, our county? โ
Chen Xianling probably felt that he was too verbose, so he closed his mouth again when he said this. Li Xin saw that this Chen County Order was also kind, so he took the trouble to make him feel relieved. It wasn't until the Chen County Order finally had a relieved look that Li Xin no longer paid attention to this person, but he was also secretly amused, the first time he saw such a mother-in-law official.
When the two bandits, one tall and one short, saw Li Xin, they knelt on the ground in unison, kowtowed again and again, and praised him for saving his life. Li Xin didn't seem to be moved, but said with a calm face: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I disposed of those soldiers because they violated military law, not to save you, do you understand?" โ
The two of them couldn't help but tremble when they heard Li Xin's words, but then they quickly kowtowed to show that they understood, Li Xin was really not used to the two people kowtowing in front of him, so he asked his soldiers to help the two people up. I saw that after these two people stood up, they were very restrained, their legs seemed to be uncomfortably tight wherever they stood, and their arms seemed to be unsure of where to put them.
"Chen Xianzun said, your family has been a big businessman for generations, and you live here?"
The two people, one tall and one short, glanced at each other, and quickly nodded repeatedly.
"Your family colluded with the bandits to premeditate, is there such a thing?" Li Xin actually has his own judgment, from a close distance, it is clear that these two people are still sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, even if they collude with the bandits, they can only be their fathers, how much can they have to do with them? Therefore, he already planned to protect these two innocent half-grown children even if he was really accused of colluding with the water bandits. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Xin said this, the two of them knelt down in unison.
"Hou Mingjian, it is true that the villain's family has been in business for generations, and it is also true that he has a small amount of money, but if it is said that his father colluded with the Taihu Lake water bandits, it is really a great wrong! Ask the Marquis of Zhen to uphold justice for his father, who died unjustly...... "It was a man who was a little shorter, but the tall man just echoed it, and then fell to the ground and wept bitterly."
This scene made Lu Jiu and the others even unbearable, Lu Jiu said bluntly: "If you have any grievances, you can only come through the channels, if there are really corrupt officials and bullies who pollute your family, the Hou of Zhenzhen will definitely find out the truth, and you can't avenge your family!" โ
After hearing this, the two raised their heads again and showed surprise, and then a trace of suspicion appeared in their eyes, and they looked at Li Xin, hoping that he could give them a positive answer.
Since Lu Jiu had already pulled a full bow for him, Li Xin had no choice but to nod and say, "If what you say is true, you will definitely give justice to this Lang Lang Qiankun!" โ
After getting Li Xin's promise, the two couldn't help but cry again. Lu Jiu scolded impatiently for a while: "Crying, crying? Can crying clean up grievances? What's more, hurry up and listen to the marquis, if you have time to listen to your noise for a while, it may not be. โ
The two of them stopped crying, and the short man sobbed and said: "The villain brother also knows very little about this matter, only that the father sighed inexplicably a few days before the incident, and asked the villain brother to go to relatives, how do you know that this morning the father was falsely accused of being a bandit, not only the father died in prison, but also the family assets accumulated for several generations were all confiscated." Originally, the villain brothers planned to wait for the rumors to pass and then complain for their father, who knows, who knows that he was accused again, so he had to run all the way. โ
Li Xin was a little confused when he heard what this person said, thinking that it was caused by panic and excitement, but he also understood the cause and effect of this matter. It seems that the two brothers don't seem to know much about the inside story, and as for the inside story, they can only find out from the Houjun Governor's Office, which investigated the case.
