The sky was already getting slightly brighter. Han Dang and Cheng Pu sent people to look around again to make sure that the remaining people were gone, and then they escorted the two captured people to Gongsun Xun.
By the way, Gongsun Xun had just sat cross-legged on a stone in front of the livestock pen the night before, quite calm, but at this moment, he looked at the two people in front of him who had their buns torn apart, their clothes stripped off, and pressed to the ground.
As a young man, he suddenly became a little anxious and uneasy.
"One of you is called Wei Yue, who is the other?" Lu Fan did not hesitate and stepped forward to interrogate him.
The two young men were pressed on the shoulders and barely looked at each other, but they sneered and said nothing.
"Lu Zuoli is asking you a question!" Han Dang was the first to become impatient. He had always regarded himself as Gongsun Xun's henchman, but the power of the arrow last night left him clueless. Although he later captured one person,
But it was obvious that he was not the one who shot the arrow, so I have been frustrated to this day.
"Forget it." One of the young men suddenly raised his head and looked at Gongsun Xu, revealing his unshaven chin, but he sneered and spoke. "This guy named Gongsun, I have known you to some extent in the past ten days in your camp.
He is a man of magnanimity, if I answer happily, you must promise not to disturb my neighbors!"
The other person turned to look at his companion, but didn't say much. It was as if the two of them were closely related and trusted each other... Come to think of it, they came here to fish for someone in the middle of the night, so how could they not be close to each other?
"Of course." Gongsun Xun agreed before Han Dang could say anything. "From what you said, are you the one who was involved in the immigration and was later arrested?"
"Exactly, Wei Yue and I are both from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County."
"What's your name?"
"Cheng Lian!"
Gongsun Xun frowned slightly: "Wei Yue, Cheng Lian... your name is rare, how successful is it?"
"Exactly."
"One of the people who picked you up last night was good at shooting. Who was he?"
"This man is a son of a wealthy family from the same town who ran away before. He is a life-and-death friend of mine and Wei Yue. We have made an agreement before that he, Wei Yue, and several other brothers will come here the night before we arrive at the Yellow River.
Come and help me escape. But I didn't expect you to be so calm. There was no flaw in the camp. Instead of letting me escape, I lost Wei Yue here. And since he was trapped, how could I hide alone?
I was in the camp, so I wanted to come over to save people... but unexpectedly, I was captured by a companion with my bare hands... As for the specific name of the person who is good at shooting, I dare not say it. After all, the person I asked for is exactly the one you asked for.
It’s about not hurting others.”
"Forget it... If you ask that man and Wei Yue to help you out, where are you going to escape?"
"I'm going to Xihe to see if I can make a living among the Huns."
"Does a Han want to escape and live among the Huns?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.
"There must be no Han soldiers among the Huns who burned crops and demolished houses. There must be no Han soldiers who robbed livestock and sold people to rich families in Yanmen as slaves!" Wei Yue, who had been sneering on the side, suddenly shouted loudly.
He started to protest. "This kid Cheng Lian is also very strong. When we get there, the Huns will naturally ride with him on a horse and use a sword with him! How can we not get there?"
"Who wants to sell whom to a wealthy family in Yanmen to be a domestic slave?" Gongsun Xun suddenly turned cold.
Neither Cheng Lian nor Wei Yue were afraid when they saw each other changing color, and the former couldn't stop laughing: "Wei Yue is a man from a low-income family, and he knows every family living in the autumn wind all day long. As for me, my brother is a garrison soldier, and during the spring this year
I have died at the hands of the Xianbei people, and now I am alone with no worries. Since you promised me that you will not trouble my fellow villagers, if you want to kill me and Wei Yue to establish your authority, you should kill me quickly. You don’t have to do this again.
Sex! You must know that there is no benefit in showing off to the dead!"
"Go to the immigration camp and find out if Cheng Lian has other relatives, such as a widowed sister-in-law, an aunt, etc." Lu Fan, who was standing by, suddenly waved to a soldier, but he gave the order in person.
"You promised me not to trouble my neighbors..." Cheng Lian immediately panicked.
"It's just that my lord agreed." Lu Fan responded with a cold face. "I didn't agree!"
"What on earth do you want?" Wei Yue on the side also asked angrily. "Cheng Lian does have a widow in the camp, otherwise he would have escaped long ago with his ability! You are also men of seven or eight feet... Why do you have to do it?
Involving a woman who has no power to tie a chicken?"
"I just want to ask!" Gongsun Xun said seriously. "Who wants to sell whom to a wealthy family in Yanmen to be a domestic slave?"
"Aren't you an officer?" Hearing this question again, the more grumpy Wei Yue's face suddenly turned red and he almost roared. Fortunately, two Liaoxi soldiers held him down.
"It's just to trick us into talking about the withdrawal of immigrants. However, there are also large households in the four counties. We have already found out clearly that those who move to Taiyuan will still have a way of survival for those who go to the party. The ordinary households who move to Yanmen will not be deprived by the government.
Wealth and then sell it out like pigs? Cheng Lian and I are also close friends of a wealthy family, so we naturally know about this!"
The expressions of Gongsun Xun, Lu Fan and others all changed drastically.
On the other side, seeing what was said, Cheng Lian also sneered and said: "Actually, if I were a person, I would be sold as a riding slave, or I would have escaped long ago! But before my brother died, he had to
I was entrusted to marry a widowed sister-in-law and treat her well. I was supposed to wait to get married after the autumn harvest, but you burned the crops, demolished the houses, and robbed the livestock. Even my sister-in-law, I am afraid that she will be separated from me after we cross the Yellow River.
Let's sell them out... The wild dogs on the grassland still know how to struggle before they die, not to mention that I, Cheng Lian, killed wild dogs when I was ten years old, and shot and killed Xianbei people when I was fifteen?!"
After the other party finished speaking, Gongsun Xun felt increasingly annoyed, and then suddenly turned back to look at Lu Fan: "Go and get his sister-in-law! Get two more horses!"
Well, when Wei Yue heard the first sentence, he was ready to curse, but when he heard the second sentence, he couldn't help but be as stunned as Cheng Lian on the side, but he still said adamantly: "Don't think so, Cheng Lian and I will be grateful
you!"
"You don't need to be grateful." Gongsun Xun waved his hands a little irritably. "As long as one thing is enough, you two and his sister-in-law can go find your life-and-death acquaintance and go to Taiyuan with him to make a living, but you are not allowed to go
The Huns!"
Wei Yue and Cheng Lian were immediately stunned.
"The companion who captured this guy before and the one who discovered the movement last night should also be rewarded." Gongsun Xun continued to say hastily. "If it is a misdemeanor, I will absolve you of the crime and give you a sentence."
If you commit an unforgivable crime, you will be rewarded with some valuables... It's time to start a fire, it's time to cook, I want to go back and catch up on my sleep!"
After saying this, Gongsun Xun actually got up directly, went back to his tent, disarmed himself, and went to sleep.
Lu Fan and Han looked at each other face to face, but finally did as they were told. They had no choice but to fetch Cheng Lian's sister-in-law, took out two horses, and let the three of them go.
At noon, a group of people crossed the Yellow River again. It was still horses, and the animals went first, and then the people left. However, Gongsun Xun chose to hold off personally.
The water flow was gentle, and the sheepskin raft easily reached the center of the Yellow River. But at this moment, Han Dang suddenly stood up and asked the 'shopkeeper' holding the raft to 'stop' the sheepskin raft in the middle of the river... In other words, this fall
The big raft at the end could originally carry a lot of cargo, but at this time, except for the 'shopkeeper', there were actually only four people, one Han Dang and one Jia Chao, both of whom were holding knives and bows, and two more.
Gongsun Xun and Zhang Bing Cao.
Seeing Han Dang's behavior, Zhang Bingcao, who had already heard about what happened last night and morning, naturally screamed inwardly that something was not good.
"Mr. Zhang!" Gongsun Xun sighed. "You must be the brave brother of that man who is unworthy of all insects. I have been friends with him for a long time, so naturally I will not be rude to you... So, please don't let me
Difficult."
Even if Zhang Bingcao wasn't a distant brother of the 'All Worms Are Unworthy' clan, he was still a smart man, so he immediately sat down on the sheepskin raft in the center of the river, then raised his hands and saluted: "I, Zhang Ze, have a family.
Youxiao, I really don’t want to be a guest at the bottom of the Yellow River, so Sima just ask, I will tell you everything I know!”
"The man who escaped today said that the households in the four counties that had been relocated would be sold to wealthy families when they arrived at Yanmen... Is this true or false?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously.
"What does this have to do with it?" Zhang Bingcao seemed a little disapproving when he heard this question, and even breathed a sigh of relief. "This group of immigrants must be sent to Pingcheng first and handed over to Gongsun Sima to select the soldiers. It will definitely not
I missed your thing..."
"I'm asking about the past!" Gongsun Xun reminded seriously. "Mr. Zhang just said that he knew everything!"
"In the past..." Zhang Bingcao sighed helplessly. "But this happened."
Gongsun Xun suddenly changed his color: "Who sold it?!"
"Of course it's the prefect!" Zhang Bingcao quickly replied. "Gongsun Sima, you are also a thoughtful person. Why do I need to say these things? It makes sense when you think about it... For a wealthy family, since these common people have been lost
When the land, property, and houses came to the local area, they naturally had thousands of ways to legally take them as apprentices and servants. How could they need to spend money to buy them from the government? And how many of us petty officials have the guts to do this?
The most we can do to raise money is to get some extra money when transferring immigrants! This is just because Zhang Fujun, the prefect of Yanmen, is a little greedy for money. The so-called geese are plucking their hair, and they have a hand in the middle to make money from the big families and these ordinary households.
Just some benefits!”
Gongsun Xun sneered.
Zhang Ze was so laughed that he hurriedly tried to persuade him: "I know what Gongsun Sima meant. After all, you are young and have a compassionate heart, so you feel unhappy. But let me tell you, this matter is really irrelevant...
If you think about it, you will know that those households who moved to Taiyuan and went to the party, as outsiders, have no financial support. Over time, how many of them will not be eaten by the wealthy families? Maybe there are others
Young people are asking for blessings from wealthy families! In the end, it will all be the same!"
"It may be the same in the end, but the experience inside is different after all." Gongsun Xun stopped laughing and replied.
"What's the difference?"
"There is an extra governor who knows the law and breaks the law, and a nosy Sima Qianshi!"
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Ze felt powerless.
"If you don't want to do too much, wait until you get to the other side and ask Mr. Zhang to write these things down with me one by one, and add your official seal, and then we can go on the road again..."
Zhang Ze shook his head repeatedly: "You want to deal with Mr. Zhang Fu?"
"Of course!"
"That's two thousand stones!" Zhang Ze tried his best to persuade. "And you are just a thousand-stone Sima, and you don't belong to each other..."
"Now that I have made up my mind, if I can't bring him down, I, Gongsun Wenqi, will be like this!" As soon as he finished speaking, following Gongsun Xun's signal, Han Dang lowered his head and shot an arrow at his feet, which turned out to be a sheepskin raft.
The one underneath was shot directly.
Zhang Bingcao was stunned by the river water splashing on his face and did not dare to say any more.
"In the early days, (Lü) Fan went from Taizu to the Yanmen military camp and served as an assistant to the sect... Other tribes tried to cross the river in the middle of the county to lead people from Wuyuan to evacuate the town. There were people who escaped at night and they were arrested. They heard that Zhang Qi, the prefect of Yanmen, was selling
The residents came to the county and the powerful people were attached to them. Taizu entered the curtain angrily, and everyone did not dare to say anything. Only Fan and (Han) should pursue them. Taizu said: "We should sue the superiors!" When Taizu covered the tent, Fan asked:
"The country is in dire straits, so there is no need to sell anything. The people who have no property have been taken by the powerful, so what's the point of complaining?" Taizu said seriously, "The people are in dire straits, and we can't bear it!" Fan, everyone should sigh.
Taizu also said: "Come to think of it, I, a Yan man, came to Jin and led an army alone. Everyone above and below me did not treat me right, and I was often sidelined. If I don't remove one or two thousand stones, how can I obey others?" Fan Wenzhi nodded.
When he was about to cross the river, Taizu used Fan's plan and left Yanmen soldiers Cao Rong and Zhang Ze alone on a raft in the middle of the river, forcing him to commit the crime of Zhang Qi, the prefect." - "Xin Yan Shu". Biography of Lu Fan.
