Liu Che walked sideways slightly, listening to Yang Feng's report.

In Yang Feng's description, a picture of the life of the low-level peasants in the early Han Dynasty slowly unfolded in front of Liu Che's eyes.

Yang Feng was ordered to travel this time, from Hangu Pass, all the way to the east, across several counties, traveling hundreds of miles, according to Liu Che's instructions, he really went deep into the grassroots, into the most remote and poor villages, and brought back a lot of important first-hand information to Liu Che.

And this person is also very careful, and everything he saw and heard along the way was recorded by him one by one.

These documents alone filled a whole box of blank paper, almost a hundred thousand words.

Liu Che stood up and took the papers presented by Yang Feng that recorded the living and production conditions of the toiling masses at the bottom and the form of social structure in this era.

The paper was stained with blood.

The brown blood stung Liu Che's eyes.

Yang Feng was already crying, he crawled on the ground, and reported: "The ministers were ordered to go east, when they arrived in Henan County, they stayed overnight in a farmhouse in Qiliting, Dongxiang, Xincheng County, and the ministers obeyed the orders of the family, and did not enter the county, pretending to be a businessman, and when staying at the farmer's house at night, they suddenly encountered the county urging to calculate the endowment, and their officials were like wolves and tigers, and they were rampant in the township, and forced the farmers to accept the endowment...... Even if the subordinates reveal their identities, they will incur the disaster of killing......"

As he spoke, Yang Feng cried even more, and he sobbed: "When I left Beijing." The family sent three strong men to protect the ministers, and the result was ...... They all died at the hands of evil officials...... After the minister escaped. went to Henan County to guard the yamen to complain, but as a result, he was beaten with a stick......"

Liu Che listened, and his brows were also tightened.

Henan County!

What a big guts!

"Who is the county guard of Henan County?" Liu Che asked softly.

Zhang Tang next to him bowed his head and reported: "Back to the house, the surname of Henan County is Dou Mingquan, the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the cousin of the general......"

The corners of Liu Che's eyes twitched twice.

Seemingly. This hornet's nest is really not small!

"Get up first!" Liu Che helped Yang Feng up, and Haosheng comforted him twice.

Dynasties and dynasties. The most difficult person to deal with is none other than the emperor's relatives!

The first emperor forced Bo Zhao to death, and he has been criticized to this day.

Yes, since. Liu's family for the Queen Mother. They are all able to not move, try not to move, the strictest punishment is at most a fine, and there has never been any punishment.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the relatives of Bo Dou's two generations of descendants are cautious and do not make waves.

It's just that when the forest is big, there can be any birds!

What's more, it's a relative of the emperor?

The Dou family has a few scum scum. It's not something unimaginable.

However, Liu Che is now focusing on the focus. It's not this, he is not timid enough, when he heard the name of the Dou family, he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to do it!

The people who killed him, the courtiers who beat him, this thing, if you want to forget it, where is it possible?

It's just that, looking at the words recorded on the paper and listening to Yang Feng's description, Liu Che's keen sense of smell made him smell the smell.

A familiar smell!

Liu Che looked at Yang Feng, who was crying, and asked, "Qing said, Henan County sent officials to the countryside in the first month to urge the calculation of endowments?" ”

Liu Che looked back at Zhang Tang and asked, "Isn't the calculation levy levied in October?" What's going on with the officials of Henan County? ”

Zhang Tanggong fell prostrate on the ground, not daring to answer.

Zhang Tang's silence made Liu Che laugh.

He laughed a little tremblingly, as if he were standing on a volcanic crater. Incomparably frightened and scared!

That's the key!

This is the reason why the local officials of Henan County actually dare to kill people!

Liu Che stopped laughing, looked at Zhang Tang, and asked, "Qing knows what the situation is, right?" ”

He looked at Yang Feng again and asked, "Qing didn't know what the situation was, so he stood up to obstruct the officials, right?" ”

Yang Feng kowtowed and said, "The minister is stupid! ”

"Hey, hey!" Liu Che laughed dryly.

He took the white paper that Yang Feng recorded what he saw and heard along the way, and held it tightly in his hand.

He already knows why!

The reason for a qiē, Liu Che's heart is as clear as a mirror at the moment.

This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, including the Celestial Empire in later generations.

In the depths of Liu Che's memory, he still remembers very clearly what he saw and heard in his childhood in the Celestial Empire.

The howling sirens, the cadres who are like wolves and tigers, and the villagers who are mobilized to resist taxes when the devil enters the village.

Apportionment, apportionment, apportionment!

The three mountains of the new era, including the overall fund, the retention fund, and the agricultural tax, overwhelmed the peasants at that time.

It was not until the new millennium, when the central government of the Celestial Empire abolished a qiē agricultural tax, that such a situation no longer happened.

Liu Che's eyes swept over the bloodstained words on the white paper, two thousand years later, it is still like that, let alone now?

When Liu Che was studying in the Celestial Empire, he once heard a joke during the Republic of China, saying that it was an official in a certain place who had received all the taxes for decades!

And in this pre-AD Han dynasty, this is not a joke, it is a fact that really happened in some areas!

It's just that the bureaucrats have always deceived their superiors and subordinates, the officials are rampant, and the people are ignorant and uneducated, so they can only accept it.

This Yang Feng is a stunned young man, he has just entered the officialdom, and he was born in Guanzhong, and everything he hears and sees is the way officials in Guanzhong do things.

Where to know the darkness of the outside world.

Young people, the sense of justice is always strong!

But what about Zhang Tang?

Hehe, the dignified criminal officer Cao Ling, who has been at the grassroots level for a long time before.

These are greasy, he must know.

Why didn't he say it, and didn't report it?

Now he brought Yang Feng to meet him and give Yang Feng a head?

The stuff here is worth playing!

But Liu Che didn't bother to think about Zhang Tang's psychology!

After something like this happened, Liu Che knew that he had to react immediately and quickly!

Otherwise, the face of the Liu family will be lost.

"Go and invite Tingwei, Imperial Doctor, and Zhonglang General, and come to see Gu immediately!" Liu Che instructed lightly, and at the same time, he instructed Wang Dao: "Go, take Lone's seal letter, go to Zhangwu Hou's Mansion, meet Zhang Wuhou, and say that Lone will visit the Mansion tonight, and at the same time, let people inform the Pavilion Tao Chief Princess Mansion, out of Zhangwu Hou Mansion, Lone will go to the Pavilion Tao Chief Princess Mansion!" ”

If you want to kill the people of the Dou family, you must report to Zhang Wuhou and the Empress Dowager Dou.

Zhang Wu waited for Dou Guangguo's pass, Liu Che was better, Dou Guangguo was not the kind of person who could protect calves to be unreasonable, and he could explain clearly if he reasoned with him.

Back then, this prince gave up even the prime minister's position by himself!

But Empress Dowager Dou is not a reasonable person!

If you want to convince the Empress Dowager Dou, it is useless to reason and talk about the law!

I can only talk to her about human feelings and sophistication, be coquettish and cute, and ask for her permission!

After instructing these things, Liu Che sat down and carefully looked at the words that Yang Feng had recorded on those papers. (To be continued......)
