Although it is not a long way to go to the capital, it is also a long way to go to the capital, but it is also a journey to the mountains and rivers along the way, and in the southwest province, Ling Yan's departure made the officials of both Hezhou and Yunzhou in the southwest province breathe a sigh of relief, as if they heard that even Lord Yin Tian Xintian of Yunzhou had set up several exquisite family banquets at home after Lord Qincha left, saying that it was to celebrate that there was no longer a murderous knife hanging on his head at all times.
At this time, the southwest province, even if the Yang family, which had occupied the southwest province for many years, was destroyed, it did not change the phenomenon that there were more local officials than foreign officials, as long as the Taizheng Emperor did not speak, then the southwest province was in a state of self-destruction, that is to say, only the taxes of the imperial court need to be completed on time every year, as for the territory of Anping, unless there is a huge disaster, otherwise this barren southwest will probably no longer be able to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor.
The day before Lord Qincha left, Yang Xiao and Yang Yingfeng of the Yang family were officially executed, and the two Yang families, who had been majestic in the southwest province for one or two decades, were destroyed because of the difference between Yang Xiao and Yang Yingfeng.
However, no one on the court that day blatantly scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Yang family, even if everyone wanted to scold, they only dared to scold in their hearts, because there were two officials standing in front of them and among the top officials in the Southwest Road, for some reason there were still two in the Yang family, one was Yang Feng who took over the position of General Yao Bai Chongwu in Zhenyuan City, and the eight thousand soldiers in Zhenyuan City became Yang Feng's command, and the other person, although he did not have such a high deterrent power as Yang Feng, it was not bad, Huang Nan County guard, this is also a real four-grade official, Countless scholars who studied poetry and books could not reach such a position even until they died.
Yang Feng stood still in the torrent of the collapse of the Yang family, because he had Qin Fei standing behind him, but the other one was just a long history of Huang Nan County in the past, and he didn't have any big backers behind him, but such a person still rose from the torrent of the Yang family, which made the Yunzhou officialdom strange.
Huangnan County is not a rich county, everyone is not talking about not tolerating a county guard of Hezhou, but how could such a Yang Jiajie who should have been silent shine at this time, they have heard that the current Hezhou Ling Yin Supo and Yang Lin have a very good relationship, maybe Yang Lin can have today, it should be Su Po to mediate.
Whatever it may be, Southwest Province is now the time for local officials to call the shots.
Outside, Ling Yan, who was returning to Beijing, was sitting in the carriage, feeling the bumps and feeling that the only carriage in the empire was really comfortable, but it was a pity that it was the emperor's grace, although he had made some contributions to the empire, it was still much worse than the chief of the department, just like heaven and earth.
However, the minister's convoy was not too cold, the scenery along the way was beautiful, and it was dizzying, because the decree did not say when it was necessary to arrive in Beijing, so Ling Yan asked Zhu Si to order the team to go down slowly so that there was no need to hurry, Zhu Si was naturally happy to do this, so he immediately told the people below, this huge team is a scenery of the official road, and the officials along the way probably heard about who was sitting in the convoy, so they all rushed here to give gifts.
When he came, Ling Yan received gifts all the way, and since when he went to the southwest province, this Lord Qincha couldn't have returned empty-handed when he returned to Beijing, not to mention that this is also a point that officials need to learn, since Lord Ling has taken things, then when everyone needs to take care of and help in the future, they can only talk about it, this is probably the so-called stepping stone.
For these officials who came to give gifts everywhere, Ling Yan accepted them all, and when he came, he was attacked by many officials in the capital, but what are these officials who have long been overwhelmed by the four divisions to fear.
However, Ling Yan saw that in addition to the willows on the road, there were also groups of ragged wandering people, most of these people were bloodless, and among the many people he could see with his own eyes, all of them were weak, as if they were going to die, and the vigorous willows and green trees on both sides of the road were too old in comparison.
Riding on horseback, there was fear and hatred in the eyes of these people when they looked towards this side, Ling Yan looked at the left side of himself and the others, there were thousands of men, women, and children carrying each other rushing towards this side, and each of them looked like they were so thoughtless.
"My lord, I think we should get out of this place first, if these outcasts lose their minds and rush towards us, it will be a big trouble."
Zhu Si, who was leading the horse in front, also saw the scene on the left, so he was a little worried, although the government's convoy should be logically no one dared to mess around, let alone a group of unarmed homeless, but the appearance of those homeless people really made Zhu Si look a little scared from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Yan, who was riding on horseback, shook his head, a group of homeless people had not been able to cause much trouble to himself and the others, he thought of where this was the homeless people, who came from the southeast.
At this time, it is the flood season, the three major rivers in the southeast province have not been stable for many years, as if God wants to bring some trouble to the empire to make the empire tired to deal with, although the southeast province is also the same as the southwest province only has two states, but the territory of Huangzhou Liangzhou is much larger than Yunzhou Hezhou, the two states have not been alleviated by flooding, and this group of displaced people fled here from there.
"Zhu Si, how much more do we have to eat?"
"My lord, except for the needs on the road these days, we only have enough food for twenty or thirty people to eat a meal.
My lord, are you going to do it?
” "Yes, distribute all the food to these suffering people, Your Majesty should do the same if you see the people of the empire suffering such a calamity, and I, as Your Majesty's courtiers, should share some of the burden for Your Majesty."
Ling Yan got off the horse and asked Zhu Si to take out the food and gather the refugees over, and then he led the horse himself and looked around.
When the refugees who had wandered here learned that it was clearly a convoy escorted by officials, they shouted: "Here's food, women, children, and the elderly will get it first." ” Hearing that there was food, the refugees who were homeless and could not stay any longer in their hometown flocked to the place when they heard that there was food here, even if Zhu Si and several others shouted "Don't squeeze", "Don't squeeze!"
But such a voice is still too subtle in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, that is, at the end, the officers and soldiers who accompanied him drew their knives and stared, and anyone who dared to cut in line or rob was blasted out, otherwise your hands and feet would be wasted.
And the refugees in the distance rushed here like crazy, Ling Yan frowned, even if this little bit of food is only a small point for each person, it is not enough for so many people, the southeast road is the gateway of the imperial court, although it is not bordered by the sword tomb region, but it is only separated by two big rivers.
Ling Yan rode away on a horse gradually, and after walking for two or three miles, he could still see the wandering refugees, he couldn't say that it was heartache in his heart, but he still had a faint melancholy, and saw a little boy who was only seven or eight years old holding a little girl younger than him, the little girl should only be four or five years old, but both of them were too thin because they had not eaten enough food all year round, and the two children walked slowly, but also because they couldn't go fast if they wanted to, the little boy held the little girl's hand tightly and didn't dare to let go, I'm afraid that once I let go of my sister, I will be lost in this crowd.
"Little brother, little sister, you are walking so slowly, and when you get over there, everyone has finished eating, and you have nothing to eat."
Ling Yan rode his horse to the two children, the two children were obviously taken aback, the people who could ride horses in their hometown were all high-ranking officials, and they were adults who needed to kowtow when they saw them, and now the people who were riding on horses and talking to themselves and their sisters seemed to be riding better horses than the officials in their hometowns, so they should be more powerful.
Therefore, the two children immediately knelt in front of Ling Yan's horse, "Knock on the blue sky", the boy's voice was hoarse, and the little girl's voice was still very nice even if she hadn't eaten for several days.
Ling Yan got off the horse and helped up the two two children who had been thrown far away by the crowd, took out half a cake from his arms and handed it to the two of them, the two looked at each other and actually saluted Ling Yan before taking the half of the cake, the boy did not hesitate to tear off more than half of the half of the cake and gave it to the little girl, he said with a innocent smile: "Sister, eat it, brother is not hungry." ” The little girl shook her little head like a rattle, refusing to take most of the half of the cake, "Brother, you eat more, the girl has a small belly, it's okay to eat less." ” In the end, the two of them gobbled up half a cake when they each took half a cake to eat, such a child of a few years old has borne a lot of suffering, and even the most basic filling of the stomach is a luxury for the two of them, Ling Yan just watched the two children eat and watched it with relish.
"Why is it just the two of you, Daddy?
What's your name?
” Probably because Ling Yan gave the two children food, so they were silent all the way except for the little boy who had spoken to his sister, shook his head, and said to this benefactor: "My name is Wang Gensheng, this is my sister Yaya, my father and mother died on the way to escape, and now only me and my sister are left to rely on each other." ” "Roots?
Yaya?
"It's a very common name, Wang Gensheng choked because he was too anxious to eat, Ling Yan took the water bag from the horse, he drank a few big sips, and then asked his sister softly if she drank it, her sister was very easy to be satisfied, just after eating such a small piece of cake, she laughed happily, and then smiled and coquettishly to her brother: "Brother, you feed me to drink." ” Only then did she notice that Yaya still had dimples when she laughed, but unfortunately she couldn't see it at ordinary times because she was too thin, and her brother Wang Gensheng couldn't hand his sister a request to his benefactor, and asked the benefactor to give his sister a sip of water, Ling Yan smiled and nodded, so he agreed, so Wang Gensheng fed his sister water.
After drinking, Wang Gensheng returned the water bag to Ling Yan, smiled and said thank you, Ling Yan hung it back on the horse, squatted down and beckoned to the maid, but this action made his brother Wang Gensheng stand in front of his sister in fear, completely covering his sister behind his back, Ling Yan chuckled, this little guy really didn't want his sister to be in the slightest danger.
"Gensheng, where are you going to take your sister?"
"I don't know, keep going, there should be food to be found there, and no one will hunt us down."
"Chase?"
Ling Yan felt cold in his heart, there were still people chasing and killing a group of homeless refugees?
Who is so bold and so unconscionable?
However, Ling Yan's doubts were quickly revealed, just now in the direction where the refugees ran there was a team of more than 30 cavalry, all of them holding crossbows, and the leader was a captain, this person had a sharp sword hanging on his waist, wearing a helmet with purple feathers, and he was also wearing light armor, as for the cavalry behind him was also wearing armor, Ling Yan squinted, this is not an ordinary official of the government, but a cavalry of the local barracks.
Seeing this group of government cavalry that suddenly appeared on the small hill over there, Wang Gensheng and Yaya subconsciously shouted and then ran forward desperately, the pursuit and killing that the two of them said should be this team.
And when Ling Yan saw their sight, they also saw the situation here, the captain who led the team was from Huangzhou City from the Seven Great Garrisons, although he was only thirty-six years old this year, he was already an old man who had been in the garrison for seven or eight years, and this time he was ordered to recover the refugees who intended to flee from his territory, and the general of the garrison had already ordered that all refugees who did not obey the order were chaotic people and must be killed.
Dong Xiaowei is unwilling to bear the responsibility of poor execution, so he is very hard to recover the refugees who ran away, and those who do not obey are also merciless, and the refugees who died in their hands are almost 20 people, and why not kill them all, this is because Dong Xiaowei wants to see how far these untouchables can run, as long as they have not left the boundary of Huangzhou, they can play with those untouchables like this.

Captain Dong ordered the horse to gallop, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of the knife on the horse's back was noisy in the sky, and the chaotic people who heard the movement didn't care about eating and fled in a hurry, but when Captain Dong was about to continue the game, he found that there was a person who did not retreat but ran towards him and others, and the speed made him a little secretly surprised.
However, it was only a surprise, along the way, there were many martial artists who thought they were very powerful and killed a few of their subordinates, but in the end, they were not killed by more of their own people, and they didn't even leave the whole corpse.
Therefore, if this bold person is in a bad mood, he will be directly cut into meat puree.
Wang Gensheng, who was originally running all the way forward, and his sister Yaya, who was pulling, suddenly stopped, and the two shouted over there: "Benefactor come back quickly, it's too dangerous there." ” And Zhu Si and the others, who heard this shout in the distance, just sneered, with those dozens of people, where would they pose a threat to the little prince, but under Zhu Si's signal, the officers and soldiers who happened to be on the other side of the convoy and then the forest that Captain Dong couldn't see had already drawn their knives out, as long as the little prince ordered his gang to take down the group of "thieves" in front of him who dared to shoot at the minister.
Ling Yan, who was running, then set off bursts of sand and dust in the eyes of everyone in front of him and behind him, Captain Dong's crotch was shaking uneasily, and the rest of the thirty or so horses were the same, as if there were fierce beasts beside him, at this time, Captain Dong suddenly realized that that person was not an ordinary martial artist, he was a tiger who ate meat, he was afraid in his heart, but he still shouted hard: "Attack!"
” But as soon as the voice fell, the majestic Captain Dong was kicked out, and his body flew several feet in the air before slamming on the ground, stirring up smoke and dust, and Captain Dong was embarrassed!
