Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 27 First Arrival in Youzhou
In the open space outside Daliushu Village outside Youzhou City.A group of ragged villagers are cursing:
"This day will not pass."

"Zhao Si, a son of a bitch, took our land, how can we live?"

"Is there still a king's law?"

"What about the king's law? All officials wear a pair of trousers. If I see it the other way around, forget it!"

"Yes, it's the other way around!"

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the villagers who had gathered together to turn against each other immediately dispersed.

After a while, a young man galloped over on a steed. The young man was dressed in purple. Although his face looked immature, his eyes exuded a maturity that did not belong to this age.

The young man was Wang Mang who came all the way from the capital.

At this time, Wang Mang looked blankly at the villagers who had dispersed, and thought: Am I so scary?

Wang Mang finally found an old man who ran the slowest. Wang Mang walked over with a smile and asked, "Old man, why do you run away when you see me?"

The old man stopped when he heard a young man's voice, and said tremblingly: "So you are not an officer and soldier!"

Wang Mang said gently: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

The old man looked at Wang Mang carefully, and then slowly explained the reason.

It turned out that they were villagers from Daliushu Village. The Turks broke through Youzhou City two years ago, sent troops here, robbed all the food, money and goods, and finally asked the villagers to follow them.

At first, when the villagers refused to do it, they killed hundreds of people. In desperation, the villagers had no choice but to follow the Turkic people to go out of the pass.

Unexpectedly, on the way, the imperial army came back again, and the villagers had no choice but to follow the imperial army back again. Unexpectedly, when they came back, they were told that the comfort money issued by the imperial court was gone, and if it was gone, it would be gone. Go home and farm.

But as soon as they returned to the village, they were told by the land security guard Zhao Si that their land had also been confiscated.

The land is the lifeblood of farmers, how can farmers live without land, so the villagers sent more than a dozen representatives to the yamen to ask for an explanation, but the county magistrate stared at them and said they were traitors, so he drove them all away come out.

In the end, in desperation, the villagers asked the dozen or so representatives to go to the state to file a complaint. Unexpectedly, the governor was even more ruthless and directly arrested and wanted to beheaded.

No, the villagers immediately blew up their nests, preparing to rush into the prison and rescue more than a dozen villagers who were arrested, but this scene happened to be encountered by Wang Mang.

When the villagers heard the sound of horseshoes at first, they thought it was the officers and soldiers who were coming to arrest them, so they dispersed in a crowd.

Wang Mang understood it after listening. When Wang Mang heard the old man say that this is Daliushu Village, he already had some guesses.But he didn't expect Wang Mang to have a stronger understanding of the people's livelihood in this era after actually seeing these ragged villagers.

Although Wang Mang was not very rich in his previous life, he lived in modern times without worrying about food and clothing.

And after crossing, with the help of Hu Jinghui, he lived a life of luxury.

I have seen these people on TV before, and the feeling is not too strong.But now that he was on the scene, Wang Mang couldn't help feeling a little compassion.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, the court will not forget you, I was sent by the emperor to make decisions for you, go and call the folks together, I have something to say."

Although Wang Mang looks young, it can be seen from Wang Mang's dressing and manner that he is not an ordinary person.But the old man never expected that it was sent by the emperor, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll call them now."

After a while, the old man took the people from the village to the open space in front of the village. There were about 100 people, and the crowd talked a lot:
"So young, is he really sent by the emperor?"

"I don't think so, but he looks like a rich man."

"What the hell is Zhang Laosi doing? What use can such a brat do?"

"I'd like to see what kind of flower this brat can come up with..."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Mang exhausted his energy and shouted, "Folks, please be quiet first."

Wang Mang's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, as if speaking in his own ear.

The villagers had never seen such a formation before, so they all fell silent.

Seeing this, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The emperor heard about your affairs, so he sent people to help you. The brigade is behind, and I was the first to come here to understand the situation."

Wang Mang looked at the villager's skinny appearance, and said to the old man, "Old man, here is some silver. You can buy some food and clothes first. Don't worry about the villagers who were arrested by the governor. I will go to the city to see the situation, everyone believe me, I will definitely rescue the folks in the prison."

The villagers finally believed Wang Mang's words when they saw Wang Mang handing out the vain silver, so they all thanked him.

Looking at the simple appearance of the villagers, Wang Mang couldn't help moistening his eyes slightly, and asked the old man, "Old man, I haven't asked you for your name yet."

The old man hurriedly said: "The villagers all call me Zhang Laosi, this little brother, what do you call me?"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "I can't reveal my name for the time being. If an old man with a kind face and a chubby figure comes here in the future, you can tell him your situation, and he will make decisions for you."

Zhang Laosi could only nod his head, Wang Mang said: "Then I will go first, you live a good life, the court will not forget you."

After speaking, Wang Mang rode to Youzhou on horseback.

……

At night, in the prison of Youzhou City.

The lights were dim, and the night guards were walking back and forth, their boots rattling.

In a separate cell, an oil lamp was lit on the wall and the floor was covered with weeds.

A man in a prison uniform covered in instruments of torture sat facing a wall, motionless.His long hair hid his face, except for a pair of eyes that showed from time to time.

At this time, there was a burst of footsteps from outside, and with a "clang", the door of the cell was opened, and four sergeants came in. The captain shouted: "Li Er, get up, come with us!" .”

Li Eryi didn't move, the captain got angry, kicked Li Er, and cursed: "Did you hear that?"

Li Er's eyes shone brightly, the captain was startled, and after reacting, he cursed: "His grandma's death is imminent, and he's playing tricks on me."

Li Er stood up and followed the sergeant out of the cell door.

Li Er walked slowly, the captain kicked him and shouted, "Hurry up, Lao Tzu."

Li Er turned around and stared at the captain. The captain pulled out the steel knife from his waist in fright, and said timidly, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Li Er showed a sneer of disdain, and then turned around and walked forward slowly. Seeing this, the captain didn't dare to say any more, and could only walk forward slowly.

When Li Er came to an open space in the execution ground, the four sergeants looked at each other and said, "Okay, stop."

Li Er stopped when he heard the words, and the captain shouted: "Kneel down!"

Li Er was unmoved. Seeing this, the four sergeants kicked Li Er's leg fiercely. Li Er couldn't stand upright and knelt down. The captain smiled triumphantly when he saw this: "Boy, Grandpa will send you to Huangquan Road tonight, I'm afraid you still don't understand why you died, right?"

Li Er raised his head slowly when he heard the words, and only then did he see the captain's face clearly. It was a fat face with a trace of sickness on it. The captain had a smug smile on his fat face: "It seems that you You can only be a fool."

As the captain waved his hand, the executioner first spit on his hand, then rubbed his hands, and finally pulled out the executioner's ghost knife from his back.

Then, the executioner shouted loudly, and chopped off the ghost knife in his hand.
