This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 82
The emotions of the victims were not very stable at first. Ma Chang and others were even prepared to see the excitement of another rebellion. However, when Chen De's head was hung outside the camp of the victims, their emotions stabilized.

The victims who usually scream and get scared when they see a broken arm are now spitting at Chen De's head.Seeing that the soldiers were not paying attention, some people urinated on their heads and some hit them with rocks.

Within half a day, Chen De's head turned into a pile of things that no one could recognize, and was eventually eaten by several wild dogs.

"When people encounter disasters and suffer heavy losses, they must be anxious, angry, and even desperate. What is the most important thing to do at this time?"

Li Xian asked.

Wen Yanbo saw a few wild dogs snatching those things, and his throat trembled, "Disciple feels that we should first appease people's hearts."

"There are two ways to appease people's hearts. One is to make the victims convinced that the money and food are enough to resettle them. But this is not enough, so we have to get a few bad apples out, such as people like Chen De. Take them, punish them in public, and let them go. The anger in the hearts of disaster victims.”

Wen Yanbo nodded, but Li Xian couldn't help but smile as he thought of the story about Cao Mengde using the head of a grain and grass officer to appease the morale of the army.

Li Xian walked into the victims, asked them about their food and clothing, asked how their families were doing, and asked them what their plans were for the future...

He was squatting there, talking to an old man, with a smile that reminded him of the young man next door.

He kept a distance from the woman and asked how the child was doing and whether he wanted to go to school.

"Schools everywhere will be expanded in the future." Li Xianxin vowed.

But Wen Yanbo knew that the DPRK had no such plan.

"Lang Jun likes to fool those fools. The more noble they are, the more stupid they are. But Lang Jun never wants to deceive the people." Wang He seemed to know what Wen Yanbo was thinking.

So, sir, do you want to reform the academic system?

Wen Yanbo felt that he could show off his skills in this matter, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

There was a girl who had an unknown illness. She had been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea for several days. She was about to leave now. When she saw Li Xian, she murmured and asked, "Master Marquis, when...when can we have enough to eat?"

Wen Yanbo found that his husband was crying. He turned away and choked with tears.

The girl closed her eyes, and the relatives around her cried loudly.

Li Xian just sat there, wondering what he was thinking.

"Sir." It was late at night, and Wen Yanbo brought the cloak given by the official and put it on Li Xian.

"Where are the people?" Li Xian asked.

"Get ready for burial." Wen Yanbo said.

Li Xian saw that the tomb was not far away... According to his plan, whenever there were disaster victims, they would be buried in one place and not allowed to be moved around.

This is a means of preventing epidemic diseases.

The girl's complexion was pale and yellow, lying on the mat, her hair was blowing in the autumn wind, and along with the fallen leaves, they entered the newly dug pit.

"The lady doesn't even have good clothes, and she won't even close her eyes!" the girl's grandfather wiped away tears.

"Master Hou!" Everyone stepped aside and watched Li Xian walk to the pit.He took off his cloak and gently covered the girl's body.

"I swear, I will make sure the people of Song Dynasty have enough to eat!" He said softly, then reached out and gently wiped it on the girl's eyelids.

He let go of his hand, and the people around him watched intently.

"She's closed!"

"She's closed!"

Everyone looked at Li Xian who stood up in shock. Countless magical legends from the past were all verified one by one in their hearts at this moment.

……

"Eat and drink enough, everyone, let's watch the singing and dancing!"

The Ma family, Ma Chang and several wealthy family heads are enjoying themselves.

Several dancers and musicians came in. After bowing, the musicians played music and the dancers danced. The aroma of powder and powder was accompanied by the smell of wine and meat that had not yet dissipated, and it was a bit fishy.

"Li Xian is with the victims." Ma Chang smiled and said: "At this moment, the letter we are waiting for has arrived in Bianjing. Those people in Bianjing must be ecstatic at this moment. Everyone, Li Xian's good days are numbered."

"For this, shouldn't we celebrate?" Someone raised a glass.

"It's time to celebrate." Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine.

Ma Chang drank comfortably and suddenly coughed, "Have all the land purchase contracts been completed by each family?"

A patriarch of a wealthy family smiled and said contemptuously: "We have everything we need. Everything was a contract signed under the witness of the government. Those idiots are illiterate, and the junior officials threatened them like wolves and tigers with just a few words. I was so scared that I made a mark, hahahaha!”

"In this way, even if Li Xian knew about our annexation of the land, he could only do nothing."

Someone said: "By the way, a small official came here today and said that Li Xian called on the wealthy families in Suanzao County to donate money and food to help the victims."

Ma Chang said coldly: "Did my family's money and food come from the strong wind? Give him ten stones."

"Then I'll give you five stones."

"Just treat it like a beggar!"

"Hahahaha!"

Amid the wild laughter, a dark figure walked quietly from the side.

Entering the backyard from here, the black shadow circled and appeared outside Ma Chang's study.He opened the door easily and sneaked inside.

Bookshelves, boxes... Under the moonlight, the black shadow was rummaging for something.

……

"Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother was still asleep when Luo Chongxun came in and said, "The Imperial City Department has sent an urgent report."

"Say." The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and suddenly thought of what Li Xian said. From another perspective: You have been tossing and turning, who will offer you a pig head in the future?
Without children and grandchildren, everything is in vain!
If she hadn't known that Li Xian was a poor scholar before, the Queen Mother would have really thought that he knew the official's life experience.

"Marquis Dingyuan beheaded Chen De, the magistrate of Suanzao County."

The Queen Mother said, "Why?"

"It was said that Chen De and the jujube officials embezzled the money and food for the disaster relief and forced the victims to rebel. After Dingyuan Hou arrived at the jujube officials, Chen De bewitched the jujube officials and resisted the inspection." The Queen Mother covered her forehead, "What a bastard! He is trying to establish his authority. ! But if you kill a county magistrate without permission, how many officials will endanger themselves? Suppress it first."

However, Luo Chongxun inadvertently noticed that the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth were slightly raised.

On the second day, the news couldn't be suppressed anymore. There were so many memorials to impeach Li Xian that it was a headache.

"They're all in the same group." The official sneered, but the Queen Mother dismissed him, and then he looked at the memorial with a low eyebrow.

The ministers and ministers had different opinions. Wang Qinruo and others insisted on bringing Li Xian back to deal with it, and then sent people to Suanzao to investigate the matter.But Wang Zeng strongly opposed it, saying that it should start well and end well, and let Li Xian wait until Jujube dealt with the disaster.And since he was given the right to make immediate decisions, he shouldn't question it.

Some people ridiculed Wang Zeng, saying that if Marquis Dingyuan were allowed to stay in Suanzao for a while, all traces would be wiped away by him.

Wang Zeng roared at the court and rolled up his sleeves to take action. The Queen Mother, who had a headache, waved her hands and dismissed the court!

Returning to the harem, the Queen Mother ordered: "Tell Marquis Dingyuan that if you don't clean up your hands, I will have to deal with him with tears."

When the Queen Mother saw the official curling her lips, she sneered, "What's wrong?"

"Appropriate." Zhao Zhen praised: "However, I know that Li Xian's actions sometimes seem reckless, but in fact there is a calculation inside. I am thinking that someone is going to be unlucky."

……

Under the same sky, the lights of the county government office suddenly gathered together in the lobby.

All officials were asked to arrive immediately, otherwise they would be punished for corruption.

Thinking of what happened to Chen De, the officials ran quickly.

Someone was riding a horse, and the sound of horse hooves shocked the night. Many people murmured, does the Marquis of Dingyuan still want to kill someone?
In the county government office, when the officials arrived, they saw the lobby was brightly lit, and the Marquis was sitting in it, looking at them coldly.

"I have seen Hou Ye!"

People salute.

Li Xian said: "People have a sense of luck, and they always feel that they can escape. Today is the last chance I give you. Who knows the evidence of the powerful annexation of fields in violation of laws in the county? Tell me. , I will protect his future and his safety!"

He waved his hand, several sergeants blew out the candles, and the hall fell silent.

Only Li Xian's voice came, "If anyone feels it's hard to speak up, just clap your hands."

The lobby was very quiet. After a long time, someone lit a candle.

Li Xian smiled and said: "I won't cry until I see the coffin! Do you think you can escape this way? Come on!"

"Master Hou!"

The accompanying generals stepped forward.

"Assemble the soldiers and raid the house!" Li Xian stood up and took off his robe, revealing that he was wearing armor underneath.

"Ma family, Yang family, Zhou family!"

"Leader!"

The general strode out, and then Li Xian led the people out of the hall.

"These people are really stubborn!" Wang He sighed.

"If they become prisoners of Beiliao or Dangxiang people, they will vomit everything they know without even being tortured."

Wen Yanbo said disdainfully.

Wang He laughed and said, "A scholar understands a scholar. No wonder Lang Jun often said that when people slaughter dogs with righteousness, they are mostly scholars who betray their hearts."

Seeing Wen Yanbo's expression remained unchanged, Wang He disagreed, "Is Mr. Wen not angry?"

Wen Yanbo said calmly: "Is Mr. Wen an ordinary scholar?"

"Then what kind of scholar are you?"

"Be a scholar like Zaifu!"

Li Xian went to Ma's house, and Ma Chang came out with people after hearing the news.

"Master Hou, this is..." Ma Chang looked at the murderous men and horses in astonishment.

"Ma Chang, your plan to annex land has happened." Li Xian sneered, "My last question is, are you willing to surrender?"

Ma Chang drank and said in a daze, "Get out!"

"Look." Li Xian did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "I have always wanted to tell you what leniency is for those who confess and severity for those who resist. Today I will catch a typical example. Come and search your home!"

"You dare!" Ma Chang stood in front.

Li Xian drew his sword, urged his horse forward, and then swung his sword.

"Help!" Amid the screams, Ma Chang fell to the ground and rolled rapidly, so fast that it was staggering.

The sergeants rushed into Ma's house and immediately made a discovery.

"Mr. Lang, all the heads of the families are here. They sleep like pigs with their arms around women."

Li Xian smiled and said: "It's very convenient for me. Check it out!"

"Marquis Dingyuan, if you break into a private residence without permission, I will definitely go to Bianjing to sue you!"

"Marquis Dingyuan, I have a thirteen-year-old daughter at home, and she is the most beautiful. I am willing to marry her."

"Marquis Dingyuan, I am willing to share half of my family property, no, [-]%, [-]%..."

"Found the document!" Inside, Wen Yanbo held the document and smiled at Ma Chang: "Mr. Ma, why are you so arrogant in front of you and respectful in the back?"

Pfft!
Ma Chang knelt down and kowtowed.

"The little man is willing to work as an ox or a horse for the Marquis! The Marquis, the Marquis..."
