Apart from this route taken by Pei Wende, the local people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, it is precisely this huge gap that makes Pei Wendegen unable to believe that he is about to enter the Yangzhou boundary.
Yangzhou, however, is famous as the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty.
Once there is a problem here, this short-lived "zhongxing elephant" root will not last long.
"Do you want to do it again?"
Quietly poked his head out of Peiwende’s robe, Xiaoqing whispered softly while spitting a snake letter
Pei Wende specially picked out those chaotic and evil spirits along the way, and took Xiaoqing’s route. I can’t remember how many monsters the other side killed and how many evil spirits they drove along the way.
"I was in Yangzhou, and the similar situation would be slightly better."
There was no positive answer to Xiaoqing’s question. Pei Wende slowly pulled out the Buddhist monk’s knife and watched the cavalry not far away.
"I didn’t expect that even Yangzhou, a rich land like this, would be full of hungry people and bandits."
Pei Wende looked at the score. The cavalry leader was in rags and armed with a machete, just like a road bully robber.
And most of the people running behind him are sallow and emaciated refugees.
Seeing that these refugees are fierce, they are holding a wooden stick, but they seem to be holding a sharp sword. You can see that their hands have touched many lives.
"Haha, I didn’t expect to touch a monk today!"
Moments later, the cavalry leader rushed to Pei Wende first and looked at him with a wild and wild eye.
"Hey, monk, hand over your valuables quickly!"
"Look at the Buddha’s face, maybe I’ll let you go!"
When he said this, the cavalry leader kept his eyes on Pei Wende’s mouth for a long time.
As far as the cavalry leader is concerned, this gap is surrounded by three or five riding bandits, and Peiwende is surrounded.
For those refugees who are still running?
Although they are slower than these riding bandits, it won’t take them long to get there.
"Amitabha donors don’t look like they keep their word."
One hand holding Buddhist monk’s knife and the other hand performing Buddhist rites …
Peiwende corners of the mouth slightly raise eyes but made no secret of the murder.
Because Pei Wende, the cavalry body, saw the blood that had not dried up, and he saw it for a long time and did not dispel his resentment.
Obviously, I met Pei Wende. Not long ago, this group of bandits just robbed and killed people, and even their blood was still warm.
Especially the leader of the first horse team, his resentment is more terrible than many monsters.
God knows how many talents he killed can make the dead resent for years and almost turn evil into evil.
"Cut the crap and tell you to hand it over honestly!"
Before the cavalry leader’s mouth, there was a robber who was also riding a horse and couldn’t help but drink a way.
And as he drank a lot, the horse on his hip also let out a scream, which attracted the bandits around him to be restless
"Amitabha!"
Once again, I recited a Buddhist name, Peiwende choked back my heart and asked for murder.
"Your benefactors dare to ask if this is the boundary?"
"Aren’t you afraid of the government sending soldiers to intercept the official road to kill people like this?"
This is also the biggest question in Pei Wende’s heart. He saw a lot of robbers all the way, but he dared to rob the road near the road and there were only a group of them.
How bad is the official yamen here that even the official road of the court can’t be maintained?
"Ha ha, the scum of the government don’t care about us …"
"They can’t even protect themselves now, not to mention spare strength to arrest us!"
Seems to be surprised by Pei Wende’s performance. The first robber stretched out his hand to stop his hands from fidgeting. There is an almost playful tone that quips.
"If you expect those government lackeys to save you, I advise you not to waste your time."
Pei Wende could hear that the first robber was not lying.
This, on the contrary, makes Pei Wende even more strange-what the hell happened to the government here will make this group of gangsters so arrogant.
…………………………………………
The second chapter evil disorderly, south blaspheme burst its banks
"What is this place? The government will be hard to protect itself? "
Took a deep breath, and when Pei Wende spoke again, there was a faint Sanskrit in his voice.
This Sanskrit group of gangsters suddenly lost their minds and their horses were strangely quiet.
"This is the western suburb of Runzhou, the host of Jiangnan …"
"Since last year, the evil spirits and chaos, and Nandu burst its banks, ruined Runzhou’s one-year harvest."
"It happened that those dog officials in the government colluded with profiteers to drive up prices, and rice was once more expensive than silver."
Can’t help but frowned PeiWenDe heart immediately gave birth to something of consternation.
Runzhou is a marginal area of Yangzhou, which is also called Zhenjiang in later generations.
Nandu, on the other hand, refers to the words of the bandits in the Yangtze River, and it can be simply understood that the Yangtze River dike has led to a rare disaster year in Zhenjiang, a "granary"
"The local government doesn’t, doesn’t the court care?"
Hearing Pei Wende ask again, the gang leader who was in control of his mind actually showed a ray of disdain.
"The court? If the court wants to manage it, it has to be managed. "
"Those dog officials not only colluded with profiteers but also deceived Gen, so they didn’t report Nandu’s breach of the dam."
Yet a PeiWenDe immediately clear.
Let’s put aside the truth of the "collusion between officials and businessmen" in the mouth of the bandits, but it is indeed like their practice that local officials did not report the breach of the dam.
After all, the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne and his local control is not so strong.
Local officials may want to put things off until the end of the day, so as to protect themselves.
"That’s not right. Even if the harvest was destroyed last year, is there no extra food and grass for disaster relief so close to Yangzhou?"
"How dare you rob the government at this point? No matter how stupid the court is, it is impossible not to know it?"
If things are really as the gang leader said, there is no reason why local officials are trying to collude and cheat each other.
It’s the real way to minimize the problem by bringing the extra grain for disaster relief in previous years.
"Haha, those dog officials naturally don’t want things to get so big."
"But heaven doesn’t give them a way out. Nandu burst its banks again this year. Where can they find food and grass to help the disaster?"
He laughed unabashedly, and even if the gangster was in a state of controlled absence, it was still difficult to hide his resentment when he said this.
"Two years in a row?"
Even Xiaoqing couldn’t help poking her head out after knowing the whole story.
"That group of faint officer is how perfunctory? Haven’t they seriously repaired the dam? "
Bowed their heads and glanced at Xiaoqing Peiwende low voice explained
"Maybe it was, but it’s not up to them."
"Combined with the situation that rice is more expensive than silver last year, it should be that someone wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune."
