Chapter 340
"The wheat in Guanzhong has been seriously infested by insects this autumn. Does the governor know about it?"

"of course I know!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Yunyang County is very troubled!"

Chang County Magistrate sighed and said: "Our Huazhou and Tongzhou are the same. The autumn harvest has been reduced by nearly [-]%, and the farmers are also very dissatisfied. After the farmers in Yunyang County made troubles, our farmers also began to gather in large numbers. I go to the countryside every day to appease the farmers. , the imperial court will definitely take measures to stabilize their emotions, and finally they were appeased, and the peasants did not make a fuss."

"Could it be that there is trouble in Heyang County?"

County Magistrate Chang shook his head, "It's not as simple as making a fuss. I heard that farmers from several townships went to the county town to petition, and County Magistrate Li led people to intercept them, but for some reason, a fight broke out. It is said that the farmers were killed. There are more than [-] people, and the county magistrate Li blocked the news, but the news can't be blocked at all, even I know it, and I heard that the Tongzhou prefectural government has reported to the court, but there is no result yet."

Li Ye was really shocked. More than 60 people died, so wouldn't more than 100 people be injured? This is the real massacre, the indiscriminate killing of innocents!
It's not the first time Li Yu has been an official, so he shouldn't be so confused!
"What does Magistrate Chang think of this?"

The county magistrate Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your official thinks there is something strange about it!"

"What's so strange?"

"The headhunters brought by the county magistrate are generally locals. The locals will never kill their own countrymen, otherwise they will not be able to face the elders. At most, they will be driven away with sticks. This is common sense, and even if a person accidentally kills , and it is impossible for all the police officers to make mistakes. Besides killing more than 60 people, how could dozens of police officers do it?
Usually when one or two people die, all the peasants will run away in fright. Only when there is a sudden outbreak of killings and the peasants have no time to escape, will so many people die all at once. "

"So you think there's someone else?"

County magistrate Chang shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know, and I can't make random guesses. I just think that Li County magistrate should never block the news. Once he blocks the news, he will die if he jumps into the Yellow River." I don't know."

Li Ye said coldly: "You better tell me what you know, otherwise I'll make you hungry!"

Li Ye's sudden change of face made County Magistrate Chang timid. He bowed his head for a while and said, "I also heard from some villagers involved. They fled to Huayin County and told me something about it."

"Say!" Li Ye stared at the other party coldly.

The county magistrate Chang trembled in fright, and said in a low voice: "They also helped collect the corpse, and found that the corpse was full of crossbow arrows, but the police in the county are not equipped with crossbows, most of them don't even have bows and arrows, only a few archer."

"You are indeed a crossbow arrow, not an ordinary arrow?"

"It's a crossbow arrow. Arrows and arrows are common sense, and anyone can tell the difference."

Li Ye stared at him for a long while, his eyes softened, he said haha ​​and changed the subject: "He is still too young, only in his twenties, and has never been a magistrate before, so he doesn't know how to deal with such things. When he became the county magistrate, it completely harmed him!"

The county magistrate Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded: "The governor is right. He is indeed too young. I have already said that young people are really unreliable!"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh, how old does this county magistrate think he is?

In fact, Li Ye also guessed it. It was obvious that Li Yu was blamed. Instead of reporting to the court urgently, he blocked the news. Did he really think he did it?
The massacre of peasants is a major event that cannot be tolerated in any dynasty. The officials involved range from being dismissed from office to being exiled to death.

Li Yu is the eldest grandson!Someone is obviously taking revenge on the grandfather, who could it be?

A family suddenly popped up in Li Ye's mind, the Yuwen family, which was very in line with the characteristics of the Yuwen family, cruel, vicious, and decisive.

But that guy Li Yu actually blocked the news, even the gods couldn't save him.

Whether Li Yu is dead or alive, Li Ye doesn't care at all, he just worries that his grandfather can't take this blow anymore.

This father and son are really more stupid than the other.

Historically, after Li Linfu's death, the whole family was liquidated, and the eldest son Li Xiu did not play any role, which shows that he is mediocre.

In Li's mansion, Li Linfu finally spoke. He requested that the Li family be divided into two, and then divided into east and west houses.

Everyone was stunned and objected one after another, but Li Linfu's attitude was firm and no objection was allowed. If anyone objected again, he would cancel his title and confiscate his family property.

In the face of vital interests, everyone finally agreed to split the family. Several elders came up with a plan, all clan members could choose who to marry, and finally distribute the family property according to the number of descendants.

But there is a non-negotiable one. The current main mansion and ancestral hall belong to the eldest son Li Xiu, and the title also belongs to Li Xiu.

For several days in a row, the Li family lived in quarrels, and the division of property has always been the focus and difficulty of family separation.

That afternoon, Li Ye returned to Chang'an from Huayin County.

When Li Ye returned home, he was startled. There were many guests at home, and Pei Sanniang greeted her happily and said, "Ye'er is back?"

"Mother, who is in the living room!"

"It's your uncles. I only know Xiao He's father, and I don't know the others. It seems that I heard that the family will be separated!"

Li Ye laughed, as expected, the family was going to be separated. This must be what the grandfather meant. The eldest son is unreliable, so he can only rely on the fifth child, but the fifth child has no weight in the family. Is the best way at present.

At this moment, Li Dai came out from the living room and waved to Li Ye, "Ye'er, come and meet some uncles!"

Five clansmen walked out of the living room. Li Ye only knew one person, Li Xun's father, Li Wei, and the rest were probably uncles who were inclined towards his father's faction.

The few clansmen didn't dare to let Li Ye see the salute, they all stepped forward and bowed together, "See the little prince!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite, these uncles are all from your own family!"

Li Dai really admired his son's foresight. Before saying that he was angry about the separation of the family, only a few days later, his father really asked for the separation.

"Ye'er, let's come in and talk together!"

Li Ye nodded, and entered the hall with the others. Eight couches were placed in the hall, four on the left and four on the left and right. The main seat on the front belonged to his father Li Linfu.

Under everyone's insistence, Li Ye had to sit in the first seat on the left. His father was sitting opposite. Li Ye smiled apologetically and said, "The living room is a bit small!"

This sentence immediately resonated with everyone, and everyone said in unison: "Fifth, even the son thinks that the house is too small, we should fight for it, and we can't let them bully us!"

Li Wei explained to Li Ye: "Separation of families has become a consensus. Now it is mainly a matter of property division. The property division is based on the number of people. We will be given one manor and three restaurants, and the property will be nothing. The key is that the two main mansions are It would be unreasonable not to give it.”

Li Ye also knew that his grandfather Li Linfu had two mansions, one was a [-]-acre mansion in Pingkangfang, and the other was a house in Xuanpingfang, covering an area of ​​[-] mu. , the big house belongs to Li Xiu, then the second house should belong to the father.

"Who is responsible for the division now?"

"Now it's the three elders, Li Xiu and your father, a total of five people are negotiating the division, but now it's four to one, and the four of them are united in dealing with your father."

Speaking of this, Li Wei sighed: "It's fine if you don't give me the second house, but the most important step in the separation of the family, we have to build our own ancestral hall, there is no place!"

The ancestral hall is equivalent to the imperial court of the family. With the ancestral hall, order can be established, and there is a place to remember the ancestors. Otherwise, they have to go to the main house to worship, and people will not let them in at all.

Li Ye thought for a while, then said to his father: "Use the old house in Changlefang first, and transform it into a ancestral hall, anyway, it's empty there!"

In fact, Li Dai meant that, but his wife disagreed. The house was bought by his wife, and Li Dai had nothing to do with it, but since his son spoke up, his wife should not object.

Li Dai smiled and said, "Okay! Tomorrow is just the morning break. Let's go to see the old house together and renovate it."

The five brothers were very happy. They all lived in Changlefang. It would be the best place to set up the ancestral hall in Changlefang.

At this time, Li Ye said slowly again: "Uncles, don't worry about being weak and having little property. This is temporary. In a few days, many people from the clan will defect to you."

Everyone was puzzled by what Li Ye meant, and Li Dai asked, "Ye Er, does your grandfather interfere?"

Li Ye shook his head, "It is Li Yu who is about to have an accident. He suppressed the peasants' resistance to rent in Heyang County and killed more than 60 people. Afterwards, he blocked the news and concealed it. I heard the news in Huayin County. I guess the court already knew about it." .”

Everyone looked at each other and slaughtered the peasants. Is this eldest grandson mentally ill?
