Thinking of this possibility, Qin Rushuang thought of Mr. Wu, the "great good man" among the people. What role did this man play in the whole thing?
If it is true as they suspected, I am afraid that the only way to break through is from Mr. Wu.
Xie Xun obviously had the same idea, so he ordered one shadow and two shadows to guard the door.
Finally, he ordered: "Go to the military camp to find some quilts and send them to the people outside."
Qin Rushuang felt warm in her heart. There were all women and children present, and Xie Xun was much more attentive than she thought.
After everyone had retreated, only Qin Rushuang, Xie Xun and Mr. Wu were left in the room.
"The weather in April is not very warm, and the women and children outside can't stand it for a whole day." As soon as Qin Rushuang opened her mouth, the expression of the tied man changed.
Qin Rushuang smiled, this man was indeed not a treacherous and evil person.
"Moreover, sir, isn't he planning in every possible way just to lure us into action?"
If she guessed correctly, everything today was in Mr. Wu's plan. Mr. Wu didn't come to belittle her that day. He should have come to...save her.
Sure enough, the tied man sighed and spoke.
"It would be better if you came earlier."
The chat box opened, and Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun heard a shocking past event.
In the seventeenth year of Tianhe, Kong Xu, the magistrate of Qu County, came to Qu County to take office.
The first thing this parent official did when he came to Qu County was to issue an order. From that year on, the grain tax in Qu County would be increased by 50%.
It's not that no one resisted, but those people disappeared quietly in the end.
Some people also wanted to go to Beijing to complain, but before they could get out of the city gate of Qu County, they turned into corpses.
The people's lives were miserable, but the records handed over to Kyoto were in full swing.
And this Mr. Wu is named Wu Yong.
"My father is a reckless man. When he gave birth to me, he was scolded by a scholar for being illiterate, so he named me Wu Yong. Bai Wuyiyong is a scholar."
Wu Yong had quite a legendary experience when he was young, and his martial arts skills were unmatched by anyone in Qu County.
When the people couldn't stand the oppression of the county magistrate, their first reaction was to ask Wu Yong for help.
Wu Yong agreed, but he alone could not help so many people in the yamen. Although many yamen officials also hated the county magistrate, most of them followed the magistrate and became popular and drank spicy food.
It was also at this time that the master from Qu County found him.
The master told him that he had some friends in the martial arts world, and he recruited some government officials who were dissatisfied with the county magistrate. Together with his friends in the martial arts world, he planned to kill the county magistrate together.
Wu Yong did not agree at first, as this was a capital crime of treason.
Until the nineteenth year of Tianhe.
The heavy rain left the people with no harvest, but the county magistrate's certificate of grain did not decrease.
If there is not enough food, go to people's homes to grab supplies.
"I wonder if the prince has noticed that there are very few elderly people in Qu County?"
Wu Yong smiled, his eyes full of desolation.
"If you go to the other side of the mountain, there will be a small canyon filled with the corpses of old people from Qu County."
There is not enough food to eat, and the old people don’t want to drag down the children at home. The first person to jump off the cliff will have the second, and the third...
Until almost all the old people in Qu County died, the county magistrate finally collected enough food.
It was also at that time that Wu Yong made up his mind to get rid of this county magistrate who had no regard for human life.
Everything went smoothly, and the county magistrate and some unjust government officials were slaughtered by them.
The master pretended to be the county magistrate's note and wrote the letter requesting to stay in office to take care of his parents.
However, the funny thing is that Wu Yong thought he had led the people out of the pit of fire, but he unknowingly dragged everyone into another abyss.
The "jianghu friends" that the master calls them are a group of bandits.
"I was too naive. I thought people could start over in a down-to-earth manner, but everyone has been suffering so hard these years. It's been really hard."
So for the first time, ordinary people followed the bandits and robbed a caravan. After reaping the benefits, more and more ordinary people joined the bandits.
"Sometimes poverty can really kill people. In the years since the county magistrate took office, he has already killed the kindness in many people's hearts."
In the past, the common people worked diligently, but in exchange they were almost forced to death by the government, so this time, many people chose to follow the bandits to commit evil.
And Wu alone cannot change everyone.
What's even more frightening is that he didn't know until later that the county magistrate's increase in grain tax was originally the master's idea.
In this way, the bandits took the men and started a business of killing people and selling goods. The women and children who stayed in Qu County were all "taken care of" by the master.
Men resisted for fear of harming their families, and women feared that their husbands would be harmed if they resisted. Under such a twisted rule, the entire Qu County was sealed.
No one dares to act rashly.
Who doesn’t have a family? Who doesn’t have a husband? Who doesn’t have children?
Dare to act rashly, that is the real confiscation of family and genocide.
Wu Yong chose to lie dormant and become brothers with the bandit leaders, lowering their vigilance.
And that man with inverted triangular eyes that day was the younger brother of the bandit leader, a lecherous villain who did all kinds of evil.
"I let the caravan manager go, and he has been waiting for the imperial army for a long time. That day I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with you, but I was not sure, so I had to let him test it first."
"Then Japan also plans to rescue the lady if she is an ordinary woman. If she is someone from the imperial court... she will just come to end this absurdity."
After hearing the whole story, Qin Rushuang felt not only shocked, but also filled with deep sadness.
She was in Kyoto, but she didn't know that only fifty miles away from him, there were people living such a fiery life.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Qin Rushuang said to Xie Xun.
If this matter was truly reported to the court, few people in Qu County would survive.
Xie Xun nodded, "We can only outsmart him."
Then he asked Wu Yong: "Where is Master now?"
"I live in the former county magistrate's house, but he and the bandits agreed on fireworks as their trumpet. If he releases a new trumpet, the men in the mountains may..."
"It's late. The matter at the inn has caused such a big fuss, so Master must have known about it."
Qin Rushuang nodded: "It was also Mr. Wu's idea to let the women and children guard outside the inn, right? For their safety."
Wu Yong smiled bitterly, "There are only a limited number of people who can come here in a short time. If you can save one by one, it will be safer to stay with the prince."
"What about the others? Master really has so many people in his hands that he can guard all the people at all times?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"This is where he is cunning. The master has a group of people, about three hundred, in the name of helping the people. He will go to different families every day to help. No one knows where these people are today," Wu Yongdao said.
.
In fact, if he didn't care about abandoning these people, he could save most of them, but neither he nor Xie Xun was such a person.
Sure enough, Xie Xun immediately shook his head: "The right and wrong will have to wait until the real bandits are brought to justice. Before that, no common people can give up."
When Wu Yong heard this, he was finally convinced.
In fact, he has always been worried about the court sending people to suppress bandits. No one can guarantee whether the new officials will be good officials.
But when he heard Xie Xun say this, he knew that the Daqi God of War was trustworthy, and that the princess was not a simple character.
He made up his mind and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I know how to get into the bandit's den, but we can only take care of one end, the common people. We ask the Princess and the Prince to come up with a safe plan."
After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed deeply, hoping that this time, the Daqi court would not disappoint the people again.
