The concubines of her family all used copper basins to wash themselves, but a bandit, no, a good bandit, actually used a silver basin.
What is even more unbelievable is that it was not the court's brutal suppression that made a notorious mountain bandit turn into a good man, but the overwhelming scapegoat.
To be able to push a group of bandits to such an extent, Su Tang felt a hint of despair towards the imperial court.
Wangzhou relies on the fact that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but as a parent official, he actually does things like this. Even the gangsters can't survive. Then don't the people live in water and fire?
Su Tang knew that what happened to Yun Yi was most likely not the fault of Heishui Village. However, Heishui Village took the blame for the robbery of the Wangzhou prefect. Why didn't Kyoto hear about such a big thing? It was because she was too informed.
Is it blocked?
Su Tang didn't like speculation and said directly, "I'm in Kyoto, haven't I heard that the prefect of Wangzhou was robbed?"
Li Jiyue laughed and said, "How dare Wangzhou Prefect dare to speak out? Not only is he cowardly and greedy, he is also afraid of death, and he has taken away so much money from the people in these years. If word spread, my brother robbed tens of thousands of taels. Not only will he not be able to get the money back,
, I can’t keep the black gauze hat on my head, I can only endure it.”
Now that she has become a good person, Li Jiyue is neither angry nor angry.
In the past, they took the blame, robbed official ships, and robbed the army of pay. Unfortunately, there were only 2,560 people in Heishui Village. However, the prefect of Wangzhou exaggerated the number to thousands, saying that Heishui Village occupies natural dangers and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, and in the end there were countless casualties. He defrauded the imperial court of his pension money, which was extremely black-hearted.
Wangzhou Prefect used the guise of Heishui Village to defraud the imperial court out of money. According to his elder brother, he might also defraud the imperial court's soldiers and horses. After all, he lied about the number of casualties. He couldn't really kill so many soldiers just to defraud the pension money.
.
It's just that the prefect of Wangzhou helped them brag that Heishui Village was famous and no one dared to bully them, which was a good feeling. Moreover, it was the place where they grew up and they didn't want to leave, so they could tolerate it as long as they could, but not this time.
Likewise, they considered the death of the eldest young master of Prince Xin's residence to be the fault of their eldest brother in Blackwater Village.
Prince Xin has devoted his whole life to the court and has only one grandson left. If Heishui Stronghold rejects his queen, Prince Xin will probably personally lead troops to encircle and suppress them.
Do these people trust the old prince enough to kill him?
When her eldest brother found out that something happened to the young master from Prince Xin's residence within ten miles of Heishui Village, he was so angry that he cursed and decided to quit being a bandit at that time!
The robbery is only a drop in the bucket, but a few cows are blamed. If you continue to be a bandit, you will be helping the tyrants.
Then Li Jiyue's eldest brother Li Jiming moved the village to this place at the junction of Suizhou and Wangzhou.
The prefects of Suizhou and Wangzhou didn't have much of a rivalry. Half of the Blackwater Villa belonged to Suizhou and half to Wangzhou. To be legal, they bought hundreds of acres of land on both sides of the hills and at the foot of the mountains. From then on, they made a living by farming.
Here, Su Tang was deliberately guiding, and Li Jiyue rarely found someone to talk to. He knew everything and spoke openly and openly. Over there, Xie Boting was sent to the dungeon of the villa by two conscientious bandits.
As soon as the cell door opened, the little bandit said, "Please."
Xie Boting hesitated for a moment, and then the little bandit pushed him in with an unyielding viciousness.
Clang.
He locked the cell door.
Another young bandit said, "Be polite. If our second lady falls in love with him, he will be the uncle of our Blackwater Village. No, he will be the uncle of our Blackwater Villa. Please be careful to wear small shoes for you."
The little bandit who was pushing was frightened, turned back and lay on the fence and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean it, I just have a weak hand..."
Who is your uncle?!
Xie Boting's face turned dark and he ignored them.
His attention was on the three other men held in the cell.
As he expected, Crown Prince Kang was arrested, along with Qin Huang, the eldest young master of the Zuoxiang Mansion who went to Dongyong with him to celebrate his birthday. The other man was very strange, but judging from his appearance, he did not look like he was from the Ning Dynasty.
Xie Boting's hands were tied. Now that he was in the cell, he moved his hands and the ropes broke free. This chapter has been completed!
