Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing that she had brought the topic back to a distant place, the maid felt entangled in her heart. Just when she was thinking about what kind of excuse she should find to fool her, the pock-marked woman behind her suddenly said:

"Since His Majesty asked, I can only tell the truth."

Seeing the pockmarked woman rescuing her from the siege, the maid was happy at first, but soon became worried.

How can there be any injustice in their profession? Isn’t this all nonsense made by yourself?

But before she could continue to worry, she heard the pockmarked woman continue to say:

"Your Majesty, our family has been wronged!"

"Our family was originally a merchant family in Shangzhou City, and we lived a life of fine clothing and fine food."

"However, not long ago, a group of defeated soldiers from the Tang Dynasty suddenly rushed into Shangzhou City, killing everyone they saw and robbing everything they saw."

"Our family of hundreds was killed overnight, and only a dozen of us were left."

"That's not all. I finally escaped from that ghost cave and entered your great Zhou Dynasty."

"I thought there would be hope in the days to come."

"Don't you know that as soon as he entered the Great Zhou Dynasty and entered the gate of Shaanzhou City, he was stopped directly?"

"Then the local officials asked us to pay a household registration tax of 30 taels each, and that didn't count."

"We finally paid the household registration tax and thought we would be placed in a good place."

"Unexpectedly, the official actually wanted to arrange for our family of more than a dozen old, weak, women and children to go mining in a plain called Leah."

"Conscience of heaven and earth, Your Majesty the Empress, if the refugees from the Tang Dynasty are still treated as slaves and sent to mine after paying a high household registration tax, then who will dare to step into your country from now on?" Weekly half step?"

"We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Although we were under different affiliations before, after we paid the household registration tax, we should be regarded as people of the Zhou Dynasty. Is it unfair to treat us like this?"

Chu Xin was not moved at all by what the pockmarked woman had said before about paying the household registration tax.

After all, she personally arranged this matter.

But the other party said that their group of more than a dozen people, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, would also be sent to Siberia to mine, which made Chu Xin a little annoyed.

Her original intention was not to let the big families who had migrated stay together for warmth, and not to let them continue to harm the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But she is still very generous to these people who are thin and have no power to resist, and will not let them die in vain.

You must know that these populations are important resources. She will not waste them casually if they can contribute to the prosperity of the Great Zhou.

And when she heard that the other party actually said the words of descendants of Yan and Huang, her eyes suddenly lit up. There was no doubt that this group of people was really Chu Mo.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the bearded man next to the pockmarked woman.

Well, no, the face shape is wrong and the body shape is wrong.

Is this person really Chu Mo?

Could it be that after all these years of not seeing him, he has changed so much?

Thinking of this, Chu Xin narrowed her beautiful eyes, stared at the bearded man again and again, and finally turned to look at the pockmarked woman and said:

"You are right. You and I are both descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. After you join our Zhou Dynasty and lose the household registration of my Zhou Dynasty, you are the people of my Zhou Dynasty. The actions of those officials are indeed abominable. I will definitely investigate and recover for you. Fair."

After saying that, he was impatient and prepared to ask the guards to come forward and pull out "Chu Mo" and expose his disguise on the spot.

However, before she could give the order, the pockmarked woman spoke again:

"Your Majesty the Empress, if it was just for this matter, I would not dare to complain. It is true, it is true that along the way, you officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have gone too far."

After hearing this, Chu Xin slowly lowered her raised hand and said with a bad tone:

"What else is there? Just tell me and I will make the decision for you."

After receiving Chu Xin's reply, the pockmarked woman's eyes flashed with joy.

Then he took out a document from his pocket and said:

"Your Majesty, when I paid the household registration tax earlier, the official said that he could allocate a residence for us."

"But along the way, we were alone. The officials along the way saw us as a group of orphans and widowed mothers, and they all wanted to come forward to bully us and take advantage."

"No, what was originally half a month has been dragged down to a month by them."

"The adults in Shaanzhou City only gave us 20 days to migrate. Because we exceeded the migration time, all the gold and silver on our bodies were stripped away by officials along the way, and now we don't even have a place to stay. "

"Because of this incident, my two nieces have become seriously ill and my husband-in-law has been drinking to drown his sorrows all day long. This is why I am rude to Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

These words seemed to be an apology for her family's neglect of her, the empress, but Chu Xin heard clearly that the other party was complaining to her.

However, in order to expose Chu Mo's true face as soon as possible and remove the stinky rat's disguise so that he had nowhere to hide, Chu Xin had no intention of paying attention to the pockmarked woman's tricks.

He immediately waved his hands and said:

"I already know about this, don't worry, I will not let go of any of those officials who have exploited you."

"Besides, you can make a list of the gold and silver that was taken away from you later, and I will give you an answer."

After saying that, he looked around again and saw the common people stretching their necks to listen to his decision, and continued:

"As for the delay in the deadline, I will pardon you. In addition, I will also order someone to help you register your household registration in Luoyang City, and buy you a residence according to the number of people. Are you satisfied with this?"

Hearing Chu Xin's arrangement, the people around him showed envy and jealousy.

The pockmarked woman didn't expect Chu Xin to be so generous.

What she thought at first was just to discredit the officials of Dazhou and make Chu Xin lose face in front of the people, but now it seems that her strategy has no effect.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful for this."

The pockmarked woman bowed to Chu Xin with excitement and thanked her.

Chu Xin gave the other party a cold look and waved her hand directly:

"No need to thank you."

"Now that I have settled the grievances of your group, is it time for me to carefully inspect your carriage... and the identity of your group?"

Chu Xin deliberately lengthened her voice.

As he spoke, he carefully observed the screwball bearded man who was kneeling on the ground, almost burying his face in his arms.

She wanted to see if she would reveal the other person's secrets and the other person would be so frightened that he would pee his pants.
