Chapter 229 Friend and Enemy

 "Returning with foreign feelings, carrying a stick to read rock farming. Complete version 520.????"

"Look at the flowers coming from the source water, and collect herbs in the secluded forest."

"The savages ask each other by their last names, and the mountain birds call each other by their names.'

"Go and enjoy yourself alone, no regrets in this life."

This is a poem written by Song Zhiwen, a famous minister of Wuzhou, and is called "Luhun Villa".

Although Song Zhiwen was involved in official circles throughout his life and never returned to seclusion, his love for landscapes was very sincere. He built Wangchuan Villa outside Chang'an and Luhun Villa outside Luoyang.

Lan Youwangchuan villa has now been sold to Wang Wei. Even the poet Buddha who was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan was very proud of it and wrote several poems. It can be seen that this villa is extraordinary. Xue Bai once visited Pei Kuan's Qing Dynasty in the suburbs of Chang'an.

When talking about Bieye, I already felt that Bieye had mountains, rivers, and a vast area. Compared with Luhun Villa, it was insignificant. After all, land on the outskirts of Chang'an was not easy to come by, and only Lanyou and Yanshi had it.

A vast forest.

The day after he met Song Mian, Xue Bai went with him to Luhun Villa as a guest. He rode to the northwest. When he left the city gate, he saw Bu Mountain lying on the horizon in the distance. After walking for a long time, Bu Mountain was still far away.

.

There are fields on both sides of the road. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, farmers can be seen pulling wheat straw from time to time. Their movements are vigorous, and they don't look like they have been hungry.

Xue Bai suddenly got off his horse, walked towards the farmer, and asked, "Old man, how good is the harvest this year?"

The old farmer only turned his head and glanced, then lowered his head and went back to work, moving his hands non-stop and not answering.

At first glance, it seemed that he was not very good at speaking and had little intelligence, but after Xue Bai asked a few more questions, he suddenly answered stiffly.

"I don't need to pay for food!"

After that, the old farmer carried the wheat straw and walked away. He had no shoes on his feet. His black bare feet were walking very fast on the frozen soil. He was obviously very sharp-eyed and realized that these people in front of him were government officials.

Xue Bai suddenly remembered the time when he and Yan Zhenqing went to Qingxu to chase a fugitive household, knowing that this must be a slave tenant of a wealthy family.

If he hadn't had that experience, no matter how he looked with his naked eyes, he would never have been able to tell that Yanshi County had come from something strange in the ground... because all he saw along the way was a peaceful and peaceful scene.

The closer you get to Bushan, the more it feels like a paradise. The streets are connected, chickens and dogs hear each other, and the side houses are like houses. Children chasing cats and dogs giggle, and peasant women are weaving cloth, talking and laughing, and the smoke is crackling.

"This must be the Luhun Villa?"

Luhun Villa is located in Shouyang Mountain.

Shouyang Mountain is the highest peak of the Bushan Mountains. It is named because "at the beginning of the sunrise, the light must reach it first". "Shouyang Qingxiao" is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanshi. Just listen to these and you will know that Luhun Villa

The scenery is wonderful.

Entering from the mountain pass, you are facing the "Yichuan Col", with high mountains on both sides. After passing through the long mountain col, you can see green mountains and peaks everywhere on the road. After a while, the front suddenly opened up, and there is another world. It turns out that there is a valley on the back.

It is a good place to live in seclusion. Peach trees, plum trees, plum trees, etc. are planted in the valley, and there are flowers in all seasons.

No wonder Song Zhiwen wrote a poem: "Farewell to the willow wind at the river bridge at night, and lying under the peach and plum moon in Yichuan at night."

Strange flowers and wild vines are all over the valley, and waterfalls and streams can be seen everywhere. As you continue to move forward, more exquisite farmhouses are built in the valley. The farmers here, regardless of gender, are all fair and bright-faced. Children chase them while reciting poems aloud.

"Under the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month, I plant apricots in front of the spring breeze. I drink sweet wine and go back, and we all know Tao Lingxian."

Xue Bai listened and said: "This poem is really good."

Song Miandao: "It's a poem by Wang Wei, called "Send Off the Sixth Uncle to Return to Luhun"."

"Oh? Mr. Mojie is also related to Mr. Song?"

Distant relatives." Song Mian said with a smile, "I will mention a few more people, Xue Lang must know them all.

He turned over and dismounted, asked Xue Bai to walk with him, and at the same time stroked his beard and chanted: "It's almost half of the first month.

The Luhun flowers have not yet bloomed. When you leave the customs, you can see the green grass, and the spring scenery is coming from the east...Xue Lang guesses, who composed this poem?"

"I really can't guess."

"Cen Shen, he and my brother-in-law Du Zuo are close friends."

"I see, after going around and around, everyone is friends."

"But it's not just that. Du Zuo and Du Fu are brothers, and they have always had a close friendship." Song Mian said with emotion in his heart, and sighed: "Back then, when Du Fu visited Yanshi County, we drank and chatted... Yan Siam said

, that was the happiest day he came to Yanshi."

Xue Bai turned around and saw Song Mian's eyes were red again, looking sad.

A group of children ran over and surrounded them with laughter.

‘Liu Lang is back. We all know how to recite the Tao Te Ching. Give us some sweets.

"I'll carry it later, I have a guest." Song Mian smiled and reached out to touch a boy's head.

Said: "Take them there, study more, help my parents with things, and make trouble all day long."

"oh."

The children turned around and ran away. Song Mian laughed at himself and said, "Lang Xue is just kidding. It's very complicated for us to run this villa... it's difficult."

"How can it be complicated to live in peace and tranquility in the mountains?"

"please."

People live in the valley that is more than 20 miles long, farming, herding, fishing, woodcutting, flowers and fruit trees, cattle, sheep and fish houses, everything is available, and they are contented.

One of the pavilions and pavilions is the residence of the owners. Today, the highest-ranking member of the Song family is Song Zhiwen's younger brother, Song Zhiti. He has served successively as the Jiedushi of Jiannan, Yin of Taiyuan, and the right-wing general Lin Wei.

, living in seclusion in Luhun Villa, must be seventy or eighty years old now, and did not come out to see Xue Bai today.??????????.????

Only a few sons of the Song family came out to greet each other, and Song Mian invited Xue Bai to drink at the Yueyan Pavilion on the mountain and watch the sunset.

Yueyan Pavilion is said to be a pavilion, but it is actually a pavilion built on the top of Shouyang Mountain. Standing on the upper floor and looking into the distance, the scenery is simply unparalleled.

Looking to the north, you can see the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi in the farthest distance. The towering mountains are like appearing out of the sky, and the Yellow River at the foot of the mountains is majestic. Looking to the east, you can see the Song Tombs and the undulating mountains overlooking the Central Plains. Looking to the west, Yique is hazy.

Luoyang is vaguely visible; looking to the south, the peaks of Songshan Mountain reach into the night sky.

Luoshui, Yishui Rulian.

"When you get here, you don't have to worry about the walls having ears. You can talk to Xue Lang about what's on your mind.

When the guests and hosts sat down, Song Mian poured a glass of wine and said: "In Yanshi County, Lu Linghao, Gao Chong, and Guo Huan worked together in collusion and deceived the superiors. Guo Fangjin, Guo Yuanliang and his son built a bridge and took the order to Henan Prefecture along this waterway.

Hu Tao, Zhou Xian."

As he said that, he stood up and first pointed to the Luoshui River in the far south, then turned to the other side of the pavilion and pointed to the Yellow River in the far north.

"Going up the Yellow River, Dou Tingzhi, the governor of Shaanxi Province, and the king of water and land transportation are all their accomplices."

Xue Bai said: "Although it is an obvious thing, after all, we need evidence. At least we have to have account books, otherwise we can't even tell you the specific figures of how much land they have swallowed up and how much taxes they have stolen."

Song Mian said: "Yes, Yan Siam secretly searched for evidence. He wanted to present the evidence to the governor Wei Gong. As far as I know, his follower Wang Yi should have escaped on the night he was killed, and the evidence should be in his hands."

Xue Bai asked: "How did Wang Yi escape?"

"This...this is unknown.

"Then Mr. Song, does he know how Wang Xianwei was killed?"

"I'm ashamed of Yan Siam."

Song Mian's eyes were filled with sadness, and he poured the wine in his glass on the ground to pay homage to Wang Yansiam.

He was ready to submit the evidence to Wei Gong, but he had to go to investigate further. We made an appointment to meet at Shouyang Academy that night. It rained heavily at the time, and I waited all night, only to get the evidence he died the next day.

news."

"Who is the murderer?"

"It must be Lu Linghao, Gao Chong, who instigated the move at the head of the canal on the Cao River."

"The head of the canal? Which canal head?"

"Although this person has a surname, few people mention him. Even the county officials only call him "Qutou"."

"Why?" Xue Bai asked, "Afraid of him?"

"That's not true. His surname is Li, ranking third. In the early years, everyone called him "Li San'er". Nowadays, they call him "Qutou" and "Qushi. There are many gangs on the Caohe River, but in this section of Luoshui,

No one can overshadow him."

Song Mian came from a famous family and obviously looked down upon such a reckless scoundrel, but he seemed to be slightly afraid of him.

Although this canal head is not popular, he is indeed a bit ruthless, and he is a murderer without blinking an eye. Put it this way, Lu Linghao used the power of the county magistrate to covet land taxes, while Gao Chong, the county magistrate, was in charge of tax smuggling.

Guo Huan was appointed to record affairs to make profits for the high-ranking households in the county. However, it was inevitable that there would be some criminal thieves or people who resisted taxes in the territory. These people would not do the catching of thieves with their own hands. In recent years, the responsibilities of the county captain have been

In fact, it’s all this channel head that’s doing it.”

Xue Bai smiled and said: "I am the fake county captain in name, but he is the real county captain secretly.

My best friend died at his hands, and he must be brought to justice and avenged."

"Is there anything Mr. Song can do?"

Officials in the county only bully some farmers and dare not touch these scoundrels who lick blood with their swords. The city guard camp has not been in war for many years, has empty foreheads and registered registrations, and has long been eroded. But scoundrels are just scoundrels after all. As long as the Henan government mobilizes

Hundreds of soldiers and horses came, but they were wiped out in a moment."

Xue Bai asked: "Can Wei Fuyin do this?"

Song Mian nodded and sighed: "Wei Gong also needs evidence to be justified. After all, these people have deep backgrounds, and Lu Linghao even has a close relationship with the palace servants."

"Is it possible that the evidence has been destroyed by them? Since the officiant has escaped, is he afraid that he will not come back?"

Guo Wanjin... will be a breakthrough." Song Mian said: "After the incident, I thought about it for a long time. Among these colluders, Guo Wanjin is the easiest to take down."

I heard that he is a relative of the Taiyuan Guo family and Guo Shunyi, the biological mother of King Yong."

"They are just relatives from a hundred years ago." Song Mian said: "Xue Lang knows that there are six wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty, Ren Lingfang, Ren Zong, Yang Chongyi, Wang Yuanbao, Guo Wanjin, and Guo Xingxian."

Xue Bai said: "I've heard of Yang Chongyi."

Yang Chongyi was a wealthy man in Chang'an. His wife Liu, who was of great beauty, had an affair with a young man named Li Suan. The two of them collaborated to kill Yang Chongyi and buried him in a dry well. After Yang Chongyi disappeared, the Jingzhao Prefecture visited day and night and tortured the Yang family.

There were hundreds of people, but no clues could be found. Later, Jingzhao Mansion went to Yang's house to investigate.

There was a parrot in the hall shouting, "The person who killed the master of the house is Mr. Liu, Li Suanye." This incident alarmed Li Longji.

The parrot goose was raised in the palace and named the "Green Messenger". The prime minister at the time, Zhang Shuo, wrote the "Biography of the Green Messenger" to record the incident.

In order to relieve Li Longji's boredom, Yang Guozhong learned from Xue Bai in writing stories and found many literati to write "The Continuation of the Green Messenger". It tells the story of this parrot flying out of the palace, breaking into adultery everywhere, and assisting officials in solving cases.

The story is charming, strange, and suspenseful.... Xue Bai also watched it.??????.?o

I don’t know, after Yang Chongyi’s death, hundreds of members of the Yang family were tortured, and in the end, to whom did countless family property fall?

"In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court investigated illegally minted copper coins and confiscated the wealthy Ren Lingfang, and obtained more than 600,000 yuan, equivalent to one-third of the imperial court's annual rent." Song Mian said: "It can be seen that the imperial court is able to move

, and are willing to touch these businessmen who are rich and unkind."

Xue Bai understood what Song Mian meant. People at that time despised merchants, so he should investigate Guo Wanjin first, which would make it easier to get support from the court, and then implicate Lu Linghao and others through Guo Wanjin.

He nodded and asked: "Mr. Song said that they are rich and unkind, but what do they know?"

Song Miandao said: "Guo Wanjin's branch has been ruined for a long time. He became a monk in his early years. At that time, Empress Wu was still in the imperial court, and Buddhism was at its peak. The imperial court granted temple official land to support orphans. Guo Wanjin started his business by selling orphans from nursing homes.

It would not be an exaggeration to call it full of evil.

I stayed at Luhun Villa for one night and felt the leisure and tranquility of mountain residence. Unfortunately, Xue Bai was not a person who enjoyed the mountains and rivers easily, so he left and returned to Yanshi County the next day.

After all, Song Mian knew everything and said everything he could.

"Mr. Yin, please wait."

Before leaving, Song Mian called Yin Liang again, picked up a scroll from the tray in the servant's hand and handed it over.

"This is?"

"Mr. Zhi Yin likes to collect epigraphic rubbings. This is "Inscriptions on Epigraphy" compiled by my uncle.

Among them are ten rubbings of King Zhou Xuan’s "Hunting Jie"."

"real?!"

The so-called epigraphy is to study the bronzes and stone carvings of the pre-Qin period, to verify the inscriptions and records on them, and to verify the scriptures and supplement the history. Nowadays, this is only a very small hobby.

Yin Liang really likes gold and stone. Every time he sees any ancient ruins, he wants to dig them out. Now that he has arrived in Yanshi, he has been thinking about looking for the ancient ruins of the Shang Dynasty if he has time. Today, Song Mian’s gift is really a gift. It reached his heart.

Xue Bai accepted it without hesitation, but once again looked at the plains at the foot of the mountain, and asked: "By the way, how many fields does Luhun Villa have? Is it a thousand hectares?"

Song Mian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "No, it's just the mountains and fields on the roadside for twenty miles after entering the mountain.

Including some fields at the foot of the mountain, there are more than 200 hectares.

"I see, I was rude.

Xue Bai took the liberty of asking about other people's wealth, which was indeed a bit rude, and Song Mian had to explain a few more words.

The Song family has a good reputation and is different from those high-ranking families who oppress the common people. With more than 200 hectares of land, the tax revenue has never been large, and donations are endless every year. Xue Lang found out after checking it. "

It was already evening when Xue Bai returned to Yanshi County Office from Luhun Villa.

The county officials did not expect that he would come back after staying only one night in the villa, and were caught off guard.

The whole novel ????????????.????

"Zhao Liu."

Just as he was thinking of Liu Cao reporting the news, Zhao Liu, the gatekeeper, heard a shout and stopped helplessly,

With a smile on his face, he said: "The county captain is back?"

"Why did you run when you saw me?"

"No, I didn't see the county captain."

Xue Bai asked: "I didn't see the Seyong Book and Qingmiao Book in Hucao the day before yesterday. Where are they?"

Zhao Liu made a sad face and said: "You have to ask Cao Sun, the chief minister, about this matter. I don't know this."

"Where is Principal Sun?"

“Not at the county office.”

Xue Bai suddenly asked: "Are you literate? It is said that you can also plan, why are you just a janitor?"

Zhao Liu scratched his head and said: "Isn't this young man still young? In terms of seniority, he has to wait until the end."

Even though he is an official, he actually knows how to get out of trouble.

Xue Bai said: "Since I took office, I have hardly seen Mr. Sun. This person's corpse is in a state of plain food. How about you being the chief of household Cao?"

Zhao Liu was startled and said in panic: "The county lieutenant should not joke with the villain. The villain is from Yanshi.

I will have to die in Yanshi."

The current meaning is that Xue Bai will leave sooner or later, and he will never be won over by Xue Bai.

"What's the point of dying in Yanshi?" Xue Bai asked: "Don't you want to take your old mother and disabled brother to Chang'an to do something?"

"Villain.

Zhao Liu changed his face in shock and ran away in a hurry, fearing that someone would see him murmuring privately with the county captain.

Xue Bai didn't take it seriously. He returned to Weijie and recruited Xue Xin.

Where are the books I brought back the day before yesterday?"

"Brother, they took advantage of your absence and took it away."

"Where's the luck?"

Xue Xin immediately showed a sneaky smile and said: "I secretly followed over and took a look, and there was a big lock on the cabinet."

NN

"mum!"

With a loud noise, Jiang Hai grabbed a sledgehammer, knocked off the lock of the cabinet, and pushed open the door.

Xue Bai didn't care about the two watchmen next to him who were so anxious that they were about to cry, and walked in with Yin Liang.

The cabinet library is right next to the warehouse. There are stacks of books and large boxes containing thousands of volumes. Without more talented people who are proficient in arithmetic, it is obviously impossible for just two people to check them all.

And the really important things will not be placed here.

However, what Xue Bai wants to verify is very simple...

"What is the county lieutenant doing?"

Not long after, Guo Huan was indeed alarmed, but he still had a smile on his face. "If the county lieutenant wants to read the book, just say so. Why bother breaking the lock?'

Since taking office, Xue Bai has been talking about it for half a month, and the staff have made various suggestions. Now he really broke the lock and said, "Just say it."

Xue Bai did not reveal the truth and asked: "I want to check the land area and household registration in the county. Why can't I find the records in recent years?"

"The latest young crops are here."

"This was built in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan and the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan. The county is still collecting taxes based on the acres of land more than twenty years ago and the household registration more than ten years ago? Tang law stipulates that registration should be made every three years."

Guo Huan said: "Yes, but the county lieutenant is responsible for collecting taxes. I'm afraid I should ask the county lieutenant Wang about this matter.

It’s a pity that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.”

Xue Bai then opened the book of young crops from the 15th year of Kaiyuan, and saw that Xingfu Temple and Yaowang Temple each had ten hectares of farmland, and another ten hectares of official farmland were used to support sick foxes.

The number of acres of Luhun Villa is indeed recorded as two hundred hectares.

As long as the property is not registered in the household register, no one can prove that someone has embezzled the property of the people.

"In that case." Xue Bai put down the book in his hand and said, "How about I measure the acres in Yanshi County again?"

The smile on Guo Huan's face froze slightly, and then he agreed directly.

"Okay, the county captain is so dedicated to his official duties, I will fully cooperate...

OR

A watchman hurriedly left the county office, went out to the south to Yingxian, arrived at the dock, and entered a warehouse.

"Where's your handsome guy?"

Several people were gambling money in the warehouse, and one of them, a big one-eyed man, looked at the wheat straw in his mouth and casually responded: "Supervise the goods personally, we will soon reach the Yellow River."

After saying that, he turned around and looked around. There was a dirty child outside looking at a merchant, and he cursed: "You little bird, move one and see!"

"You blind man, stop arguing. I have something to tell you."

"Why don't Mr. Sun come over? I asked you to come."

"My uncle is busy."

"Say it."

"The new county captain is like a dog that has taken pornographic drugs. He keeps going crazy. Teach him a lesson."

The blind man put his whole finger in his nostril and dug it for a while, then put it on his neck and cut it, and said with a smile: "Kill him?"

"Don't make trouble. One person just died, how can another one die? Do you want to rebel? Give him a good beating to break his courage."

"Assaulting an official? What does it mean to assault an official?"

"He will go out of the city to measure the fields starting tomorrow. You should keep an eye on him first, because there is another more important thing."

"Eating dog intestines, why don't you talk about the important things later?

"There are clues to what Qu Shuai wants...

To the south of Yanshi County is Songshan Mountain, and to the southeast is Fuxi Mountain. There are many thieves in the high mountains. Therefore, Xue Bai went out of the city to measure the acres of land in the south, and Guo Huan reminded Xue Bai.

"In the middle of winter, would it be better for the county lieutenant to stay in the city, in case he encounters a thief outside?"

"Is Yanshi not peaceful?"

Guo Huan sighed: "When Wang County Lieutenant was in office, there were several big thieves who were never caught. They went to the mountains to the south and became bandits. Occasionally they killed people and robbed money, which was very vicious."

Xue Bai said: "As a county captain, I have the reputation of catching thieves. How can I be afraid of thieves and not measure the fields?"

"County Lieutenant Gaoyi."

Guo Huan gave the last kind reminder and said no more. He respectfully sent Xue Bai off. His eyes fell on Xue Xin's figure and he thought to himself, what use can a half-year-old child do?

There is no bridge on the Luo River. To go to the south, you need to take a boat.

Xue Bai took more than ten officials to cross the river in three boats, but when he reached the south bank of the Luo River, the other two boats were gone. He looked around and saw that only Yin Liang, Jiang Hai, Xue Xin, and Chai Gouer were left.

, and three other officials.

"Xian, County Lieutenant, they may have been washed downstream... should we go back?" Chai Gou'er asked.

"If you don't come back, keep walking.

The south bank of Luohe River was much more deserted than the north bank. Looking up, one could see Mount Song in the distance. After walking for a while, an official suddenly squatted on the ground and screamed that he had a stomachache. He asked the official to stay and take care of him.

Not long after walking, Shiba Inuer and the other remaining official excused themselves to relieve themselves and ran into the woods but disappeared.

Yin Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Except Mr. Song, there is really no one in Yanshi County who is willing to help the young master."

After hearing this, Xue Bai thought for a moment and said: "Let's go, first measure the land of the nursing home.

It was a large piece of fertile farmland between the Luo River and the Yi River. There were farmhouses beside the farmland, and a small temple near the farmhouse where several monks managed the tenant farmers.

Xue Bailiang revealed his official status and asked who owned the land where these monks came from. He replied that it was the good land of Xingfu Temple. Then he asked how many acres of land Xingfu Temple had, and he answered that it was ten hectares of temple land, plus ten hectares of official land in the nursing home.

A total of twenty hectares.

"Pay taxes?"

"Amitabha, the county captain is joking."

Xue Bai couldn't do anything to them, so he finally confirmed it again and said: "Is it true that only twenty hectares are yours?"

"This... as far as the poor monk knows, it's twenty hectares. I'm afraid I have to ask the host for the rest."

"Then we start measuring?"

Others were stunned. The twenty hectares of fields were endless as far as the eye could see. Lieutenant Xue Xian only brought a scholar, a martial artist, and a child, but he didn't know how to measure it.

In the distance, a large group of people came slowly from the west.

That's someone from Luoyang.

ON

"Ming Mansion, Xue Bai has taken action."

"He really has some tricks up his sleeve."

"Yes, Du Youlin mobilized thirty people to measure the land for him. In fact, there were servants from the Du family and people from Fengweilou, who were good at calculating. In two days, he measured out the land of Xingfu Temple.

It's sixty or seventy hectares, and I'm still measuring it today."

"What did the host say?"

"It doesn't matter if you say so. No matter how much you measure, Kofukuji Temple will not pay taxes and we are not afraid of others measuring it."

Lu Linghao nodded and said, "Is this the third day? Since the Du family sent people from Luoyang, Wang Yi came with the evidence?"

‘Still staring, I haven’t noticed it yet.

Lu Linghao thought deeply and murmured: "It should be good. According to Guo Erlang, Wang Yi took the Du family into hiding and must have come to find Xue Bai. He could only present the clue of the imperial concubine's sworn brother.

, be sure to keep an eye on it."

"Well...

OA

On the fourth day of measuring the fields, Xue Bai was standing by the Yi River, eating Hu biscuits. Another carriage came from the west. Someone got off the carriage and walked towards Xue Bai.

This man was about five feet six inches tall, with a slight limp in his legs. His face was covered, and he looked around cautiously as he walked.

"coming?"

In the pile of wheat straw not far away, several happy tenants were doing farm work. Among them, the two who were least able to hold a hoe stared in Xue Bai's direction and whispered.

"Yeah?"

"It's really Wang Yi."

"I told the blind man, just watch and wait for them to get what Master Qu wants.'

The man who spoke ran very fast, dropped his hoe and ran towards Luohe River.

The blind man took a nap in a cargo ship. When he was pushed awake, he immediately became energetic.

"How to say?"

"Wang Yi showed up and was taking Xue Bai to Zhai Town."

"Zhai Zhen?"

The blind man was a little confused and didn't understand how the thing Qu Shuai was looking for was there, but he still ordered everyone to go over.

Along the way, people came to report the news.

"Blind man, hurry up, it's right in front, the things have been dug out."

"Grab it!" the blind man yelled, "beat him!"

"Let them go!"

As soon as the whistle blows, the canal workers and tenant slaves move into action.

NN

The evil officials are here to catch the fugitives and collect taxes!

There was a shout from the crowd, and a group of farmers carrying hoes suddenly ran over and surrounded Xue Bai.

From a distance, I could already feel a deep sense of resentment.

Yin Liang shook his head and said: "The young master measured the acres of land in order to give these prostitutes freedom. I didn't expect that they would not appreciate it."

"It's just being cowarded."

After Xue Bai finished speaking, he turned to look at the masked person next to him and said, "Take off the cloth.

"Here."

Quan Fu responded, took off the cloth on his face, threw aside the blank account book in his hand, and stopped in front of Xue Bai.

"It seems that they are really looking for Wang Yi, and he really has evidence in his hand." Xue Bai was still chatting with Yin Liang, and said thoughtfully: "But I don't know where Wang Yi took Du Wulang to."

Yin Liang thought about it and sighed: "It seems that what the young master said is right. Song Mian and these people are also colluding with each other, and they are still doing it for Wang Yi."

Xue Bai followed Yan Zhenqing and captured a fugitive household. Although the fugitive households sold themselves and their children were slaves for generations, their appearance was much better than that of the registered households. Therefore, he could see that the entire land from the north of the county to Shouyang Mountain belonged to wealthy families.

.

Luhun Villa had at least a thousand hectares of land, but only paid a tax of two hundred hectares... This was just one of the clues. Coupled with Wang Yansiam's death, Xue Bai couldn't believe Song Mian, so he tried

Give it a try.

"Drive away the evil officials!"

The farmers wielding hoes were getting closer and closer.

Yin Liang felt more and more disappointed.

Song Mian, the only one in Yanshi County who was willing to help them, was actually an enemy.

He is not afraid of difficulties, but he is afraid of this kind of loneliness.

No one knows how Wang Yi escaped.

suddenly,

"County Lieutenant, run away! They are going to harm you!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the direction of Luohe in the north, and there were several small figures running.

That was Ren Mulan leading several of her companions, running over and shouting to report the news to Xue Bai.

"The blind man is going to hurt you! Run!"

Luoyang.

An old man pushing a dung cart slowly walked into the alley and pushed the dung bucket into a dark hut.

Wang Yi walked over with a lame leg and asked anxiously: "Have you heard about it? How is the green ring?"

"Gouwa is still asking, don't worry."

Du Wulang, who was tied up in the corner, couldn't help but ask: "Who is the green ring?!"

Wang Yi didn't answer and looked at his own steps.

Du Wulang said: "You have to believe me, I may be able to help you save people."

"Believe you?" Wang Yi picked up Du Wulang and scolded: "Do I believe you powerful people?

Didn't you ask me how I escaped? You have met these people who saved me: Lu Huan who was a slave, Lao Wei who sold candied haws, Liu Da who picked up excrement, Gouwa who was a beggar, and Ren Mulan who was a thief.

...I believe them, I don’t believe you!”

Wang Yi is also very tired.

But he can survive until now because there are so many people who have helped him, and he doesn't want to let them down.

Sometimes when he closed his eyes, he could often hear their shouts, trying to save him from death time and time again.

"Go! Run!"

"Run quickly!"

By the Yishui River, Ren Mulan shouted with all her strength, seeing that Xue Bai was still injured and stood there refusing to escape.

He simply roared and charged forward.

"Go up! Don't let the county captain stab the blind man in the dark!"
