Liu Yu pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the governor's mansion. The onlookers instinctively wanted to turn around and yell, but when they saw that Liu Yu, a big man with a thick body, broke in, no matter whether they knew him or not, they all
They all gave way.
The gate of the county government, which was originally blocked, naturally opened a passage, allowing Liu Yu to squeeze in alone.
It wasn't until his tall and tall body disappeared from the door that the passage was closed again, and the people watching the excitement also made a lot of comments.
"Who is this man? He looks like a strong man. What do you want to do in there?"
"Hey, Lao Li, don't you even know this person? This is the famous Li Zheng Liu Yu of Suanshan Township."
"What? Is it the Jingkou Liu Da who is known as the tyrant with fists and legs? The one who was the three-time military leader?"
"Yes, that's him! Last year I saw him leading the villagers to fight with the villagers of Jiulipo. He beat down seventeen or eight strong men on his own. He was really powerful."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I've heard of Liu Jinu's name, but is he really that powerful? I don't believe it."
"Shh, be careful, don't call him by his nickname, otherwise he might get beaten. The last time Bai Laosan from Baijiagou called him that from behind, he punched him so hard that he fainted and almost went blind.
Woolen cloth!"
Liu Yu had no intention of listening to the discussions behind him. His face was as dark as water, and with clenched fists, he walked straight into the courtyard. Outside the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, there was a wide courtyard, more than a hundred steps wide, with two sides.
There are side rooms for handling various official documents, and there is a large open space in the center.
This open space can be used for horse racing and archery. More than ten arrow targets on one side have been moved to the corner, and the middle is crowded with densely packed northern refugees.
More than a hundred state and county officials and Diao family guards were trying their best to push these people around and yell at them to obey order.
Liu Yu, who was engaged in Liu Yi in the state he met in the morning, was directing his men to maintain order, while Wei Yongzhi, Tan Pingzhi and Meng Chang were standing at the front, with more than a dozen other people.
The people from the north were all arguing with him over something with red faces.
In the lobby, Mr. Diao, whose face was covered with white powder and whose face was cold, knelt on the governor's seat and looked coldly at everything that happened in the courtyard.
Diao Mao was fanning Young Master Diao with a flattering look on his face. There was a sound of footsteps. Young Master Diao raised his head and saw Liu Yu walking straight into the courtyard. His face changed slightly, and an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
.
I only heard Liu Yi saying loudly: "You exiles from the north are so unreasonable that the imperial court is willing to take you in. Do you still have to bargain with the imperial court? To tell you the truth, if you don't become a child guest of the Diao family, you will fend for yourself."
Bar."
Liu Yu's expression changed. He looked at these disheveled and disheveled northern refugees being pushed around by the soldiers. Several children were crying loudly. He felt sad in his heart.
Shouted loudly: "Stop!"
Liu Yi turned his head and was stunned when he saw Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, what are you doing here?"
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yi, pointed at Mr. Diao who was sitting in the hall, and said loudly: "Liu Yi, you are an official in the state, but here you are helping a person who is not even a governor to bully the northern refugees and violate the court's rules. What exactly does national policy mean?”
The quarrel between the two sides gradually subsided with Liu Yu's loud shout. The refugees from the north, headed by the three families they met today, all looked at Liu Yu with gratitude and expectation. , only Meng Chang stood aside expressionlessly, saying nothing.
Liu Yi curled his lips and said coldly: "Liu Yu, I advise you to mind your own business. This is not something you can ask as an honest person! Besides, how can we bully these northern refugees?"
Tan Pingzhi looked at Liu Yu and said excitedly: "Liu Lizheng, you have to make the decision for us! We have gone through countless hardships, life and death, and finally came to Jiangdong from the north. This loyalty can be learned from the sun! But Don’t bully us into treating us as child servants and slaves when we come from afar and have no power!”
Wei Yongzhi's three hare lips kept opening and closing: "Yes, didn't it say that the imperial court would provide land to resettle the displaced people? Didn't it say that there are large areas of unowned wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River that can be given to us? Why not give it to us now?"
Liu Yu frowned, looked at Liu Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't what these people said the truth? If you acted in accordance with the laws, would you still be arguing like this!?"
"We in Jingkou are the prefectures and counties established by overseas Chinese. We have plenty of land that can be distributed to them. Why can't we get it out?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at the young master Diao who was watching coldly in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "And this young master Diao, you clearly know that he is not the governor, but just a family member of the governor, why do you let him sit on the governor's seat in such a grand manner? Liu Yi, if you want to cling to the powerful, you can't blatantly violate the law, right?"
Several gentle claps sounded from the hall. Liu Yu looked into the hall and saw Mr. Diao slowly rising from the couch while clapping his hands. (There was no tall furniture in the Han and Jin Dynasties. They were all kneeling on the couch), walked out of the hall, and said slowly: "Listen carefully, I am the king's law here!"
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he said loudly: "Who gave you the power to surpass Wang Fa?"
The noble prince laughed and touched his nose: "Do you recognize this thing?!"
As he spoke, he pointed to his side. Diao Mao proudly held an object and walked out of the hall. Liu Yu took a closer look at the object and saw that it was a staff, a bamboo staff with a series of yaks on it. At the end, Liu Yu counted, and there were three. Although he was not highly educated, as an upright person, he still knew some basic rules and regulations. He took a breath of air and said in surprise: "A scepter?"
Diao Mao laughed proudly, and the sharp and sharp voice echoed throughout the courtyard: "Boy, do you see clearly? This is a scepter! Anyone with this scepter is called a scepter, do you understand? See you. If you see the emperor, you bunch of country bumpkins still don't kneel down when you see the scepter, do you want to rebel?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and knelt down, and everyone around him, whether they were northern refugees or officials and government servants in the courtyard, also knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
The noble prince sneered and said: "Liu Yu, I know that you are a local hero and a scholar, so I will forgive you more! Don't you really think that I am afraid of you? I know you, can you recognize me?"
Liu Yu stood up, looked at the noble master, and said in a deep voice: "I know you are the younger brother of Diao Governor, but I don't know your name. Moreover, you are not the governor, why do you have the emperor's scepter? Can you give me Jingkou?
Can you give me an explanation?"
The noble prince looked at Liu Yu, and the white powder on his face shone in the setting sun: "Listen well, I am Diao Hong, and my brother is the new governor of this state, Diao Kui."
"The Qin Dynasty intends to invade, and the land of Jingkou is here to defend the capital. Therefore, the emperor has issued a special edict to make my brother Zhijie the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in Jingkou. My brother still has government affairs to hand over, so I have been specially ordered to take charge of the affairs of this state first, understand the people's sentiments, and do things conveniently.
, if there are those who commit crimes and disobey orders, they can be beheaded, do you know?"
