Liu Xin moved his family to Chang'an this time, and did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts. Besides, with such a large group of people, even if he wanted to conceal his whereabouts, it would be difficult. And now that someone dares to attack their camp, they must have bad intentions.
.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin's face changed slightly. She put her left hand to her mouth and whistled. The white horse that was grazing leisurely on the grass immediately raised its head and galloped over. Liu Xin jumped up and flew up.
On horseback, he opened his right hand, and the cicada that was just in his palm flew up into the air with a "squeak".
Over the years, in addition to Liu Xin's own skills, his riding skills have also improved greatly. The saddle on this horse has long been removed, but Liu Xin is still sitting firmly on the smooth horse. If it were him
It was absolutely unimaginable for him to do this during the time he had just traveled through time.
Seeing Liu Xin coming, the soldiers all moved out of the way. The closer they got to the outer defense line, the clearer the noisy sounds could be heard. It was very noisy, with men and women, and bursts of crying. It seemed
They were arguing about something. However, Liu Xin's speed slowed down. He was probably sure that this situation was definitely not caused by people with ulterior motives attacking the camp, but rather like petitioners from later generations.
Sure enough, when Liu Xin came closer, a school captain came over, raised his hands and said: "To report to the lord, there are several people outside shouting grievances and clamoring to see the lord. The general has already told them that there are grievances.
We should go to the county government office instead of making noise here, they just don't listen."
Liu Xin jumped off the horse and asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever done anything to the common people?"
The captain said hurriedly: "My lord has always taught us that the army of the Han Dynasty is the soldiers of the common people, and the common people are our food, clothing and parents. The soldiers did not dare to fight back no matter how impulsive the common people were."
At this time, Liu Xin could see clearly that the captain's clothes and armor were torn, and there was a long finger mark on his face. He couldn't help but patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "You have done a great job in being able to bear the humiliation and bear the burden."
Yes. What's your name? Where are you from?"
Seeing Liu Xin asking about the name of the captain, the surrounding soldiers cast envious glances. The captain himself became excited and puffed out his chest and said: "Back to my lord, the last general, Li Yan, is from Nanyang. Both parents died in
The Yellow Turban general grew up in the Xiangyang Orphanage, so he knows the hardships of the people, and a little hardship is nothing."
Hearing that Li Yan was an orphan, Liu Xin couldn't help but nodded secretly. The original purpose of setting up the orphanage was very simple, just because he couldn't bear to leave these lonely children. Unexpectedly, he had no intention of helping the children. Ten years later, these children who came out of the orphanage
Many have grown up
As adults, some followed Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo to help the world, and some became students in academies. More boys actively joined the army. They were not burdened by family members, and they were grateful for Liu Xin's life. They trained hard and fought bravely.
Quick stealers have become the backbone of all major legions.
Liu Xin was very satisfied with Li Yan's performance. She nodded and said, "Yes, do a good job and don't disgrace the orphanage! Let's go and have a look with me."
Outside the first line of defense, six or seven civilians in civilian clothes were still there pushing against the human wall of soldiers. These civilians were old and young, male and female, and they seemed to come from the same family. The men
Their faces were full of anger, while the women and children were crying.
Liu Xin couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Stop it!"
Just now, the soldiers had been adhering to the principle of not fighting back when hit or scolded. In addition to their earnest persuasion, they could only let those few people push and push them. Now Liu Xin suddenly let out an angry shout, which made those people look stunned and held their hands.
His movements couldn't help but stopped, but he continued to shout: "We want to see Mr. Liu, we want to see Mr. Liu..."
Although Liu Xin likes to take risks, it does not mean that he acts recklessly. What's more, he is no longer the one who has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. From a small perspective, he is responsible for the safety of a large group of wives and children at home. To an adult, he wants to
Guiding millions of people in the Han Dynasty to live a happy and prosperous life. Therefore, Liu Xin was very cautious. He took a closer look and was convinced that these people were just ordinary people. Then he separated from the soldiers lined up in a human wall and stepped forward.
, said: "I am Liu Xin, what do you want from me?"
The old man at the front suddenly fell to his knees and cried loudly: "Sir, you must let the little people make the decision!"
The whole family standing around the old man also knelt down and screamed, as if they had endless grievances. Liu Xin couldn't help but frowned, winked at Li Yan, and said: "Old man, fellow villagers, please come."
Get up and speak."
Li Yan was not only brave in battle, but also very smart, otherwise he would not have been promoted from a soldier to a captain in an army full of talents. Seeing Liu Xin winking at him, Li Yan hurriedly led a few soldiers to move the old man and the common people
They all helped him up.
Liu Xin was not in a hurry to ask about the grievances of these people. Instead, he waved his hand behind and said, "Come here, bring some water and dry food."
Over the years, Liu Xin has always emphasized that officials should govern the Qingming Dynasty. For this reason, he also set up a censor station and appointed the upright Chen Gong as the first supervisory censor. Even so, Liu Xin was still uneasy and hired Qiao Xuan as a civil servant.
Supervisors, and intends to promote this method throughout the country. Officials in various places are also good at doing their best. Crimes and crimes rarely occur, and it is even rarer to come to Liu Xin to redress grievances like today.
Although Liu Xin has been making great fanfare since leaving Xiangyang and his marching speed is not very fast, it is impossible for these people to come over and intercept them halfway after receiving the news. Generally speaking, if these people must seek Liu Xin to redress their grievances
, the most reasonable thing to do is to stay in Xinye City, which is Liu Xin's only way.
This was just a resting point temporarily selected by Liu Xin, not even a main road. But they had just set up camp and before they had time to rest, these people appeared. This can only mean one thing, these people had already obtained
news, and was waiting here very early.
Liu Xin did not immediately ask these people where they heard that they were going to pass by here, but asked someone to bring them some food and drink first. Because Liu Xin had already seen the actions of the soldiers helping these people.
It can be seen that these people are not strong people. If these weak people had been waiting here early in the morning, they would be hungry and thirsty now.
Sure enough, when the common people saw the dry food and drinking water given by the soldiers, they started to gobble them up, and they were not as excited as before.
Liu Xin then asked the old man with a smile: "Old man, you are so old, and it is such a hot day, it would not be good if you get a stroke."
The old man sighed and said: "I'd like to teach Mr. Liu to know that the little old man is already seventy-two this year, and I don't know how many officials in Jingzhou have been replaced. If it is not a last resort, give the little old man ten courages.
I don’t dare to disturb you, sir.”
"Haha, seventy years old is rare in life. It's not easy. It's really not easy." Liu Xin sighed, then suddenly straightened her face and said, "It must be a big deal for a seventy-year-old man to block the road in person and complain.
You are wronged, let’s talk about it and listen to it.”
Seeing that Liu Xin was always approachable, the old man hesitated. He turned around and saw the eager eyes of others, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, the old man's surname is Chen, who is from Xinye County. He has a family full of children and grandchildren.
It was a good life. But a few days ago, one of the old man's granddaughters went shopping on the street, and was spotted by the county magistrate, who took her away. The old man's son went to beg for it, but was beaten up by the government officials and is still bedridden.
.The old man had no way to ask for help, but after receiving some advice from an expert, he came to wait on the road, and he was indeed able to see you today."
After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation and said loudly: "The county magistrate is the official of one parent, and he actually commits the evil act of robbing a man and dominating his daughter. This is unbearable!"
Liu Xin glanced at him and said calmly: "Li Yan, why didn't you ask about this situation just now?"
Li Yan stood up straight in a hurry and said loudly: "Back to my lord, I have been asking them, but they insisted not to tell me, so I don't know that they have this grievance. The identities of these people are unknown, their intentions are unknown, and the general's responsibilities are
, I don’t dare to let them in, and I ask my lord to keep an eye on it.”
Liu Xin was very satisfied with Li Yan's neither humble nor arrogant performance. He nodded and asked the old man: "Uncle Chen, why don't you tell the soldiers your grievances and just argue here? If Liu hadn't happened to hear it, you guys
If you do this, you won't be able to see Liu anyway, and you won't be able to appeal for your grievance no matter how serious it is."
Old man Chen blushed and said sheepishly: "The person who gave advice to the young man once said that even though the soldiers of the Han Dynasty usually help the people to do this and that, they are actually hypocritical. They and those officials
They all wear a pair of trousers. He also told the little old man that he could only speak out his grievances when he saw Mr. Liu, otherwise the little old man's whole family would be in danger."
"Nonsense!" Li Yan immediately jumped up and said sternly, "Our Han soldiers really care about the people. Who is that bullshit expert? I want to confront him!"
Liu Xin's face became solemn. If the old man didn't lie, then this matter was definitely not an ordinary injustice, and the so-called expert must have played a disgraceful role in it. There must be an ulterior conspiracy.
.But no matter what, if the Xinye County magistrate did commit the crime of robbing civilian girls, it would definitely be an unforgivable act.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Li Yan, now is not the time to discuss these things. The top priority is to save people. Pass my order, order a team of personal guards, and go to Xinye County immediately!"
