General's Gown

A soldier in the lead had a sad face, and spread his hands helplessly: "It's just that they calm down and explain well, these common people are not willing to move! Look, my mouth is already bubbling—" The leader pointed to the corner of his mouth:

"Now that the Xuanjia army has been transferred by the imperial court, if we want to persuade people to move away, we can't rely on swords, we can only rely on our two thin legs and one tongue. Alas, those poor and clanging people are easy to talk about. For the poor, emigration is nothing more than changing places to beg for food. But those people who have houses, land, and shops are different, and they are reluctant to lose even a little bit!"

"Didn't Master Yan say that compensation will be made according to the property status of each household? Are they still unwilling to move?" He Li asked.

The leader looked around, and cautiously approached He Li's ear: "Master He, do you still believe what Master Yan said?"

He Li glanced at him strangely: "What do you mean? He is a member of the third rank, a prestigious general, I don't listen to him, do I listen to you?!"

"Some time ago, Lord Yan did a lot of good things for us in Qinchuan City. We all saw it, and naturally accepted it. But since Lord Yan came down from Baicang Mountain, he only made this move to emigrate. You didn't even show your face, don't you think it's weird?"

"What's so weird?" He Li said without hesitation: "I just saw Mr. Yan yesterday, and it's clear that he's doing well——"

He Li suddenly stopped.Yan Changqing's pale cheeks reappeared in his mind.

"The reason why Mr. Yan didn't show up is because he was sick. What's the matter, people can't get sick after eating whole grains?" He Li said.

"It seems that everyone is right." The leader muttered in a low voice, covered his mouth and leaned forward and said: "The common people have spread the word in private, saying that after Lord Yan came down from Baicang Mountain, he was not the original Yan. grown up..."

"What do you mean?" He Li stared.

"They all said that Master Yan was possessed by evil spirits on the mountain, that's why they want to drive us all out and occupy Qinchuan City alone!"

"Nonsense!" He Li said angrily, "I haven't heard of any evil spirit possessing me!"

"You have been so busy these two days that you don't touch the ground, how can you have time to listen to us talking about this with you..." The leader complained, and added embellishments:

"That evil spirit is called Hanba, and it goes wherever it goes. Someone in Qinchuan City has been possessed by this ghost before. Once possessed, no water can touch it. Crazy, whoever touches it will be unlucky..."

He Liting's brows twitched.It is not uncommon for him to have heard of a ghost like Hanba that can cause drought.In the past few years, he did occasionally hear that someone was possessed by Hanba and expelled from the city.But He Li didn't believe in the so-called ghosts and gods because he had read a lot of books.

He Li was about to raise his eyebrows to reprimand him, when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of the government yamen in the distance.

At the gate of the Qinchuan County Yamen, hundreds of people were densely surrounded by hundreds of people on the inner, third and outer floors. With a dazed expression, he raised his fist and yelled something along with the crowd around him.If you look closely, there are still seven or eight Taoist priests dressed in gray robes and black hats in the dark crowd, holding dust whisks in their hands, staring at the closed gate of the county government with extremely solemn expressions. Terrible monsters will pop out and devour all living people.

"Get rid of evil spirits, kill Hanba!"

"Get rid of evil spirits, kill Hanba!"

Shouts like thunder.

These people are reversed!

He Li immediately calmed down, tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, and shouted loudly:

"You guys are so brave! The county government is also where you mess around? Hurry up and leave, if you dare to stay for a moment, you will all be arrested!"

Dozens of government soldiers followed behind him, standing in a row in unison, looking quite intimidating.However, the crowd below did not show any sign of retreating, and a shrill voice rang out:

"Hey, I still wonder who it is. It turned out to be a man who settled accounts in the yamen. Now he dares to use his accent to bully our people?!"

When He Li heard the voice, he recognized that the speaker was the richest Zhang Da rich man in Qinchuan City. His family had thousands of acres of fertile land and nearly a hundred cattle.He frowned, and said: "Who bullied you? Don't you pack up your bed and move away quickly, do you want to wait for the earthquake to come again and crush you to death?"

"Earthquake?" Rich Mr. Zhang sneered, stepped forward with his fat body, and said, "I'm afraid only you, a nerd, would believe that evil words. No good land is needed, and the white wolf river is filled to death. What normal person would think of it?" Such an idea?! Only Hanba is evil!"

As soon as rich man Zhang finished speaking, more angrily voices rang out:

"That's right! It's Hanba! Some people were caught by Hanba in the past, and they couldn't see the water. Even if they heard the sound of the river, they would go crazy, crying and shouting to fill the river to death. Later, we drove them to Baicang Mountain to stop. Unexpectedly This dirty thing is back now, and it wants to drive us away and fill the river again, this is clearly revenge!"

"Damn it, it's unlucky for this evil spirit to go anywhere, I have to drive it out again!"

"Get out? Heh, I think it's safest to kill him on the spot, so as to save himself from attaching himself to someone else and harming others next time!"

"That's right, I have to use the peach wood brought by these Taoist priests to burn it. This drought is very evil. If you don't play hard, you will be the one who will be unlucky next time!"

The crowd gathered more and more, there were hundreds of people, many of them were holding knives, sticks and swords, hoes and stones, they obviously came prepared, and with the instigation of several landlords and wealthy businessmen, they approached the county Yamen gate.He Li stabilized his mind, while sending a message to call all the government soldiers, he drew out his long knife, jumped to the highest step, and shouted: "Who dares to attack the county government? Death penalty!"

He Li usually looks like a cautious and kind scholar, but this time he was in a hurry and showed a bit of a fierce look, but he couldn't bluff people. He was caught in the crowd in an instant, and he started fighting with these people with his bare hands .He Xin secretly complained.

It really happened that the house was leaking and it was raining all night. The day before yesterday happened to be changing defenses at the border of Monan. According to the previous rules, the Xuanjia army outside Qinchuan City was led by Lieutenant General Xiang Yu, and they had to go to the border hundreds of miles away to station.At this time, there were only more than 300 government soldiers scattered throughout the city. Although the number was not small, they were all child soldiers who had just been formed temporarily after the earthquake. Many of the folks and elders they were familiar with, these inexperienced soldiers looked at each other for a while, panicked, and were forced to get involved in the chaotic melee

The "boom, bang, bang" sound of iron objects slamming on the door made people tremble with fear, and the four or five strong men headed by them even wanted to use their majestic bodies to smash the door open.The landlords, rich merchants and a large group of common people below waved their fists in applause and kept shouting:

"Get rid of evil spirits, kill Hanba!"

Amidst the shouts, several strong men took a deep breath, puffed out their purplish red skin, and launched a final blow to the mottled, but not heavy door.However, at the moment when their strong muscles were about to slam into the door, there was a barely audible creaking sound in the noise, and several strong men suddenly bumped into the air, and fell heavily on the hard wall in the threshold of the county office. on the ground.

All the sound of cursing and fighting slowly stopped the moment the door opened.

Supporting a thin figure, Wei Jin walked out firmly but slowly.

Although this figure is wearing a big black hood, only half of his chin is exposed, but the smooth and beautiful jaw line, which does not lack a sense of firmness, makes people look forward to it.

Wei Jin looked at the dark crowd in front of him, tilted his head worriedly and said a few words in a low voice.Yan Changqing shook his head slightly, and broke away from Wei Jin's supporting hand.

Wei Jin felt very sad, but she had no choice but to follow Yan Changqing silently.

The hood slipped off, revealing a picturesque, unspeakably handsome face.

Although he was dressed in black and had black hair, standing in front of the black crowd, he looked like the whitest and cleanest trace of snow on the top of a cliff with jagged rocks and sewage.

Swept by such a pair of sharp, shining eyes, almost everyone fell silent in unison.In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and to isolate the epidemic, Yan Changqing appeared in front of the common people most of the time, with his face half covered.Therefore, most of the people gathered here saw Yan Changqing's true face for the first time. For a moment, they temporarily forgot the purpose of coming to make trouble in their minds, only amazed and shocked.

He Li finally escaped from the crowd's siege and scuffle. With a bruised nose and a swollen face, he ran to Yan Changqing, feeling ashamed and relieved, "Master, you're here!"

Before he finished speaking, He Li suddenly noticed that Yan Changqing's face seemed paler than when he saw him earlier, his thin lips were chapped and bloodless, but the corners of his eyes showed a faint, sickly redness.

"My lord?" He Li's heart sank slightly. Although he still didn't know what kind of illness Yan Changqing was suffering from, he could tell at a glance that Yan Changqing was not seriously ill.

Is it because he stayed up all night for the past few days to review and examine the matter of moving to the city, which made his condition worse?

"Hehe, it's just in time!" Rich Master Zhang clapped his palms and sneered, stepped forward, pointed at Yan Changqing and said loudly: "Look, everyone, this is the evil spirit of the drought man!"

"Bold! You speak wild words and slander the court officials!" Standing in front of Yan Changqing, Wei Jin shouted.

Yan Changqing raised his arm slightly, stopping Wei Jin who wanted to step forward to protect him.The wrapped elbows covered his wounds bitten by the white wolf.Wei Jin's eyes were full of worry.He knew that the wound was still bleeding slowly under the gauze, festering, almost to the bone.

Yan Changqing looked at rich man Zhang with a righteous face in front of him, and felt that his righteous face of killing harm for the people matched with his vulgar and gorgeous clothes and the image of holding a hammer, it was very funny.

Yan Changqing is very familiar with this rich man Zhang.

Facing his attack, Yan Changqing was not surprised either.

"Dare to ask rich man Zhang, how many acres of land have been invaded by the people today?" Yan Changqing's question made rich man Zhang slightly taken aback, and his face changed slightly.He Li immediately understood the reason.

This rich man Zhang was very courageous, and he did not escape during the Qinchuan earthquake. After the earthquake, he took advantage of the chaotic management of the county government and occupied the land left by many people who either died or fled.In less than half a month, the property has more than doubled.Immediately afterwards, he set his sights on encroaching on the fields and land of the plagued people.Not daring to grab it openly, he came up with the trick of reselling the holy medicine of the great witch doctor.After being knocked out by Yan Changqing, he already held a grudge.This is an old grudge.

For the relocation of the city, every commoner in Qinchuan will be compensated with silver taels.The amount of compensation shall be estimated according to the size of the people's original houses and land area.And this rich man Zhang actually wanted Yan Changqing to compensate him according to the area of ​​the land he had illegally occupied so far.In private, rich man Zhang put on a flattering smile, held the bank note and wanted to bribe Yan Changqing, but he didn't expect that Yan Changqing didn't even let him in.Mr. Zhang was even more annoyed, this was his new enmity.

New and old hatred intertwined, the dog jumped the wall in a hurry.

The rich man Zhang was not afraid at all, and said sharply: "Bah! My land is earned bit by bit with blood and sweat. What nonsense are you talking about?" In this world, gossips confuse the crowd, everyone go up together and call me!!!!"
