My country is dead again [Rebirth]

The next day, when Bai Yue and others went to the commander of the guards, they saw Pei Yunfeng who had come back last night. After greeting him, he raised his eyebrows and watched Wang Jinyao close the door.

Wang Jinyao invited them to sit down, summoned several soldiers to carry out two large boxes, and placed them in front of them.

They had a premonition of what it was, and asked in a dazed manner, "What do you mean, my lords?"

Pei Yunfeng signaled his servants to open the box, revealing the neatly stacked silver ingots inside, and said with a smile, "Everyone has come from a long distance, the journey is hard, and we have to exhaust everyone to investigate the drought and turmoil. We are really sorry. The frontier is bitter and cold. There is nothing to entertain the business, just be careful, and please accept it with a smile."

This move was expected by them, Bai Yue and Wen Chonghui looked at each other, smiled meaningfully, and asked Jin Yiwei to carry the box down without saying a word.

Wang Jinyao was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking that Pei Yunfeng's words were rough and reasonable, there is really no such thing as money in this world, if not, then there is not enough money.

"Business, you see, this investigation..." Wang Jinyao ordered another pot of good tea, and said meaningfully, "I don't know how the mission plans to investigate?"

"We have seen many places along the way, and the area around Yulin is really calm." Bai Yue gave a comforting look, "Don't worry, my lord, we have the final say on how to investigate. For some things, the court will not know the truth."

Wang Jinyao was still beating drums in his heart, but Pei Yunfeng was overjoyed. He stood up and said, "I'm going to rest in the posthouse these days. If you need anything, just tell us."

Bai Yue smiled and said nothing, and together with Wen Chonghui led everyone away from the Commander of the Guards.

"What do you think?" After going out, Bai Yue asked Wen Chonghui, "Are they really unguarded?"

Wen Chonghui shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, maybe the bribery is just to try. They are old people in the officialdom, how can they be so careless? I'm afraid they have already suspected the students' movements and went out to find someone."

After returning to the post house, Bai Yue ordered Jin Yiwei to count the amount of the two boxes of silver and seal it up. The Pei family had already been charged with bribing the imperial envoy, and no one touched the silver.

"I don't know what's going on with Ye Huaishan and the others." Wen Chonghui said worriedly, "Your Majesty and Lord Du are also big-hearted, and they dare to hand over such a dangerous matter to a few helpless students. It's over now." , The Pei family may be searching for people everywhere, and they may die if they are not careful."

But Bai Yue looked at it very openly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Lord Du have their reasons for making such an arrangement. It is precisely because you and I have such and such concerns that we cannot do this. Besides, we will not be able to do this without the Commander of the Guards. It's too conspicuous. It's really best to leave this matter to the students. Don't worry too much. If His Majesty says it's okay, then it must be okay. If the Pei family wants to find them, they have to find them. It's been so long. They didn't even dig out Wu Xianrong's people, but it's not so easy to find people."

This is the same thing, Wen Chonghui thought for a while, and nodded: "Wu Xianrong has a big appetite and wants to make a fortune, but the chance of bringing down the Pei family is fleeting. Maybe it's only this time. It will also be watertight. No matter what, the students will still be secretly protected by Wu Xianrong's people, so nothing will happen."

The students they were worried about were separated from the officials and Jinyiwei when they entered the Cangzhou boundary, took off their clean and tidy Confucian uniforms, changed into coarse linen clothes, messed up their hair, and plunged into the mountains near Yulin.

Originally, the rioting guards in Cangzhou were relatively scattered. Later, the guards near Yulin got Wu Xianrong's secret support, just like the gang occupying the top of the mountain, their strength increased greatly, and they stopped Pei Yuankai several times. During the siege, soldiers from Fu'an, Yuncheng and other places all ran to Yu Lin to seek shelter. Therefore, the rioting military households in this area have formed allies with Yu Lin as the center, hiding in the mountains together, and fighting against Pei Yuankai's desire to quietly A silent strangulation that erases traces.

Wu Xianrong has always been in contact with these military households, and often secretly sent some money and food to this place. Even though the Pei family already knew that Wu Xianrong was secretly stirring up trouble, they had intercepted Wu Xianrong's people several times, but they couldn't catch them all. After a period of time, Pei Yuankai sneaked into Cangzhou, and Pei Yuankai didn't dare to send a large group of troops to clean up. It would be too conspicuous. He didn't report the truth to the imperial court, and sent a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the guard army. superior.

The students sighed all the way, if it wasn't for Pei Yuankai asking too much, how could the imperial court insist on breaking with him and make a fight to the death, if the appetite is smaller, mutual benefit and reciprocity can be achieved, the imperial court pretends to be confused, even if you have There are countless crimes of copying and beheading, and the court will not come to trouble you.

Whether the emperor has irreconcilable conflicts with civil servants or military commanders, it depends on whether the conflict crosses the line. The competition between power and power is so cruel. The ambitious young emperor will not allow an uncontrollable force in northern Xinjiang Provocations and threats are destined to cut off its minions, grind away its sharp teeth, and take the power of northern Xinjiang into its own hands.

It's not that the imperial court can't find a reason to clean up the Pei family, it's just that there is no best time to investigate the dirty things behind the scenes. A breakthrough, taking the opportunity to crucify the other party for a crime, can logically shake out other things.

A dozen or so students were headed by Ye Huaishan. He was relatively old and had traveled to many places before. He understood the world and how to survive in the wild better than others, so it went smoothly when he took everyone to find the mountains.

According to the appointed time, they joined Wu Xianrong's people who transported money, food and weapons, and went into the mountain together. They saw this group of nearly ten thousand guard troops, and their leader, a hundred households of Yu Linwei's command envoy. Lin Zhaolun.

This mountain is the highest mountain in Cangzhou, and the mountain road is steep. Few people come up on weekdays, even woodcutters are reluctant to come. I heard that many people have fallen to their deaths, but this place is obviously beneficial to Tibetans. Going to the mountain Once you hide, you will run when you hear the wind and grass. It is not so easy to find it.

The conditions in the mountains were not good. Ye Huaishan and others walked all the way and saw that even with the help of Wu Xianrong, the sergeants were still pale and emaciated. It is the fleeing victims that are more convincing.

Ye Huaishan is a person who has traveled and studied, and is used to traveling all over the world. He can not only compete with his classmates in the forum, but also chat with all kinds of people. He naturally got into the sergeants and chatted with them. homely.

The other students were at a loss at first, but later they saw that the sergeants were very friendly to them. They heard that they were sent by the imperial court and offered to share food with them. Unload food and manage weapons.

After nightfall, they stayed on the mountain, and the two lived in the same tent. Ren Chu called Ye Huaishan who came back, and whispered: "How did the chat go?"

They helped out and didn't talk much with the sergeants, and handed over all the dealings to Ye Huaishan, and the students gathered around to look at Ye Huaishan when they saw this.

"I asked them to find someone who can write and write down all the causes and consequences for us. It can be used as evidence. Lin Zhaolun agreed, and he was already writing at night." Ye Huaishan squatted next to the tent with everyone. On the open space, the land at the feet was cracked into pieces due to the drought, "Pei Yuankai's memorandum was originally a lie to the court. These days, Cangzhou has been in disarray. There was a drought last year, and the relief food issued by Pei Yuankai They didn't see a single grain of rice, but the few grains of silver were stripped layer by layer by the officers above, especially the two sons of Pei Yuankai, who insisted on taking another [-]% of the grain silver, which they had already eaten last winter. I don’t have enough food. The situation will get worse after the spring, and the food will not survive, and I don’t know how long it will take for the Pei family to find out about the relief food, and everyone will starve to death.”

"In the beginning, some soldiers under Yu Lin followed Lin Zhaolun to the Commander of the Guards to discuss an explanation. You Feng and Wang Jinyao played Tai Chi with them. They were also very angry, and they took part of the food from the Commander of the Guards and left. As soon as there was a disturbance, Pei Yunfeng went back to complain to his father. The Pei family sent the Cangzhou army. They didn't say anything, and they killed people directly. Lin Zhaolun only escaped with five or six soldiers, knowing that the Pei family wanted to kill someone. Shut up, suppress this matter, just keep doing nothing, and fight to the end with the Pei family. With them leading, places like Fu'an and Yuncheng also started to riot. Pei Yuankai reported to the court that some people were dissatisfied with the court. They fought in self-defense, and there were a few casualties, but they were not serious. But according to Lin Zhaolun and other sergeants, 5000 to [-] people died, and the Pei family didn’t report it. They dug a hole and buried a group of people.”

Ren Chu's temper flared up again, his gentleness was gone, very much like his appearance on the forum, he clenched his fists and said: "The Pei family is really deceiving people, disregarding human life, the front line is still fighting, Pei Yuankai is in Dayu's Killing one's own people on the site were all innocent soldiers who were killed by him to the point of desperation, how many families have been ruined!"

The other students also scolded the Pei family and Pei Yuankai angrily. Ye Huaishan made a soothing gesture and said, "These sergeants will help us collect evidence for the past two days. They have monthly accounts of grain silver in and out. We After rearranging, we will go to various guards to find the account books to check, and we will know how much money the Pei family has collected over the years. Some family members of the sergeants who were killed are also protected here and in some safe places in the city. Let's go Check it out, ask them about their situation, and integrate it with what Lin Zhaolun wrote. In addition, these sergeants must be safe, they are all witnesses, and they must be used to crucify the Pei family. It means that the Pei family may not be able to wait any longer, and if they want to completely solve the disaster, they may even set fire to the mountain."

Everyone's expressions changed suddenly when they heard that they set fire to the mountain. They were all scholars. How could they have seen this before? Although they had the determination to do great things in their hearts, the news of dying was still very frightening, and they discussed it in a hurry .

After Ren Chu was startled for a moment, he became calm again and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Since Zongbing Wu has made a prediction, there must be a way out of the predicament, and nothing will happen."

Ye Huaishan followed suit and said, "General Wu's men are standing guard at the foot of the mountain. If something goes wrong, someone will report it. Before that, we will complete the task of collecting evidence. If something goes wrong, General Wu will guarantee everyone safety." He glanced around the crowd, "Your Majesty and Lord Du trust us so much that they are willing to leave this matter to the students who have not entered the court. We can't embarrass them. When Lord Du went to investigate the guard There were many difficulties, but he passed it safely, we have to be taught by Mr. Du for a year, and we must not let our teacher down."

After all, the students still have the enthusiasm and impulsiveness of many young people. After hearing Ye Huaishan's words, they discussed how to collect evidence so that the Pei family would never recover. They were so excited that they almost picked up a knife and went to fight Pei Yuankai confronted head-on, and it seemed that he was about to leave his name in history.

Ye Huaishan shook his head amusedly, told everyone some things, and went to sleep amidst the ravages of mosquitoes.

For the next few days, Ye Huaishan took the students on the mountain to ask the sergeants what happened, and occasionally went down the mountain in batches to find the family members of the deceased sergeant. On the third night, there was indeed movement in the Pei family.

Wu Xianrong's people released a messenger pigeon for them, telling them that Pei Yunfeng had brought the Cangzhou army around, and was too lazy to search slowly, and wanted to burn the mountain directly.

They hurriedly packed their things, the most important thing was to transfer and protect all the evidence, but when they were halfway through the packing, thick smoke had already shot up from the mountainside, and there was a faint fire approaching from top to bottom, and today's wind direction helped a lot , The fire took advantage of the wind to meet the dry forest and burned quickly.

Fortunately, Wu Xianrong's men came up to meet them, and Lin Zhaolun was familiar with the mountain, so he led them down the other side of the mountain, with the flames engulfing the vegetation behind them, and they ran in front, narrowly escaped death.

After escaping down the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of their lives. There were too many of them. Most of them followed Wu Xianrong's people and left Cangzhou for the time being. Together, they settled outside Yulin City, where the farmland used to be. After the severe drought, the fields were all abandoned and no one looked after them, leaving only a few simple houses next to them.

Many people choked on the thick smoke. The most serious ones were those who were carried down the mountain. Some people's clothes were burnt to the point of burnt holes, and their faces were blackened by the smoke. Everyone was in a state of distress, especially the students. We really have never encountered such a thing. It is one thing to be afraid after escaping, and it is another thing to feel that you are inexplicably powerful and quite proud.

After nightfall, they received news from Bai Yue and Wen Chonghui in Yulin City. Ye Huaishan let out a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "The Pei family is still hunting us after they burned the mountain. We should be mixed in, and we want to do it too, and it is dangerous for a few adults to delay time in the city. So we can't wait, and we will do it tomorrow."

The author has something to say: Students: Ah, so scared.

Ye Huaishan: You can't embarrass Teacher Du.

Students: You are right!

Mother: Teacher Du has a lot of fans, is this the power of idols?
