Green forest hero?
Green Forest Army?
I am also a gangster who has taken over the mountain and become the king!
Feng Xi rubbed her nephew's dog's head and cursed expressionlessly.
While Feng Xi was slandering, Qi Xiao and Li Cifu immediately looked interested and expressed that they wanted to follow him and take a look.
"You can just take a look if you want. They started recruiting people in different places two days ago. But the speed is fast. They won't be able to talk about it until the county magistrate receives the news."
This bull is tall and powerful, and he is obviously a master who is very interested in this.
And looking at the speed at which the people around him were running in that direction, it was obvious that he was not the only one who was interested.
However, Niu Da was obviously more curious about Feng Xi and others than he had been watching the Green Forest Hero for two days.
There's no way, it's just that the four people in this group all look a little too outstanding.
Sister Rong's family is considered to be the best in their county, but even if the family in front of them looks like they have been on the road for many days, people can't help but look at them more.
"Sister Rong, these four are..."
Seeing Niu Da constantly looking at Feng Xi and others, Liu Rong was also afraid of offending the noble man with this rudeness, so she immediately introduced her casually:
"Don't I have a brother-in-law who lives in another county? This is his daughter and son-in-law, as well as the son-in-law's grandfather and nephew. My uncle and aunt left early, and I met them in Fucheng. If it weren't for me Sister, I’m afraid..."
She didn't say directly that she might not be able to come back, but Niu Da, who had some friendship with him, understood.
The story of what happened to the Liu family has spread throughout their county. Some people said a few days ago that Liu Rong went to Fucheng to take revenge.
In short, there were different opinions, and he almost believed it.
"Hey, it'll be nice to come back, it'll be nice to come back..."
Niu was stupid and had nothing to say, so he could only lead Feng Xi and others to the place where the green forest hero was.
During this period, Li Cifu and Qi Xiao often chatted with him. While understanding some of the county's conditions, they also tried to slowly integrate into it.
As the most intelligent people in the world, their accents have gradually synchronized with Niu Da's, and they can even speak some local slang in Qingquan County.
While talking and laughing like this, the group quickly arrived at their destination.
I saw two large wooden boxes stacked in front of a shop. On the box was a man in shabby clothes but a strong figure and very articulate, "talking loudly".
"Dear fellow citizens, this princess is immoral and the court is stupid. She doesn't regard us and the people of Mingzhou as human beings at all! If we don't stand up ourselves, who can help us?"
"You pay taxes every year and do corvee every month. I wonder if you can survive if you pay this tax for another year?"
"We used to have a meal when the weather was good, but now even if it's a good day, we can't have a meal!"
"Everyone should know about our evil monk in Maolin County..."
Mr. Niu walking in front was tall and strong, and Liu Rong was also a well-known person in the county.
So Feng Xi and his party quickly squeezed to the front and got a close look at the forest hero in front of them.
In fact, this is not the first time they have heard the name of the Green Forest Army since they landed in Mingzhou last night.
In fact, just as Feng Xi complained, these so-called Green Forest Army were bandits who had previously been entrenched in Tongzhou and had been wiped out by the imperial court many times, but could not be wiped out due to the complex terrain.
About a month ago, hundreds of people suddenly came to Mingzhou, whether it was a sudden idea or guidance from an expert.
It just so happens that the prefect of Mingzhou, Zhou Zhiyuan, took advantage of Princess Feng Xi's name to exert power, and most of his county magistrates were corrupt and perverted the law. The public resentment under his rule was evident?
According to rumors from the village of Xiakanzi where they had settled yesterday, the magistrate of Maolin County, which was almost becoming a gangster's den, was greedy by nature, fond of drinking, sex and gambling, and had two different views on the wealthy households and poor peasants within his jurisdiction.
This rich man can use money to redeem his crimes. Even if the crime cannot be redeemed, he can change the crime and turn it into something that can be redeemed!
As a result, bullying, domination, rape, and robbery of men and women occurred frequently in the county. However, the people registered in Dazhao were not allowed to move at will, let alone the state was still a princess fiefdom.
As the saying goes, it doesn't die in silence, it breaks out in silence. The cause of the rebellion in Maolin County was an evil monk who took power and actually killed all the men in the family, leaving only the old woman and an infant grandson.
Since this family was still a well-known surname in the village, more than a dozen people went to the Yamen to report to the magistrate, hoping that the county magistrate would give them a fair deal because of their large number of people.
However, the Maolin County Magistrate not only failed to punish the evil monk, but instead beat the old patriarch who took the lead in reporting the crime thirty times, until he was beaten until he could barely breathe.
For a time, the people of Maolin were filled with resentment. It happened that the green forest heroes came to the county from the same state. When they heard about this, they went straight to the county government to rectify the evil official and the evil monk, which instantly won the support of the people of Maolin.
Later, the leader of the Green Forest Army ordered people to clean up the wealthy households who had committed crimes in the county, and finally led his heroes to gain a firm foothold.
The rebellion in one county was not enough, so they united with the three surrounding counties, and now they finally reached out to the clear spring in front of them.
In fact, Qingquan County is closer to Maolin County than Tonghe County. As for why it became the last county to be attracted, Feng Xi thinks it has something to do with the Magistrate Song mentioned by Liu Rong.
Although these are what Feng Xi heard, they are still very different from what she reported to Shengjing before.
Putting aside the fact that the Tongzhou bandits united with the five counties of Mingzhou to rebel, the only county that the bandits can completely control now is actually Maolin. To say that the people rebelled because she, a thief princess, imposed excessive taxes does not fit with what she saw. actual situation.
In this era, most of the people at the bottom are farmers, and they will indeed rebel because they don't have enough to eat, but judging from what she heard from the three Wang brothers today, most of these people can still survive for a while.
In other words, now is not the time for them to rebel because they don't have enough to eat. This matter will have to be postponed until at least the end of the year or even the new year.
It's not that she thinks these people are bloodless, it's that rebels like her are in the minority no matter in modern times or in ancient times.
Most people are still muddle along, trying to take it one day at a time.
Facts have also proved that what drove the people of Maolin to rebel was not excessive taxation, but the more fatal darkness of official circles with no way to seek help.
Obviously such a problem is so clear, including everything that Liu Rong's family has encountered, but the reporter and the Green Forest Army seem to ignore it, only saying that she, the princess, is innocent.
In fact, the upper-level public opinion in Mingzhou also said that the princess was imposing excessive taxes and that the princess came to inspect, and they officials were just following orders...
From the beginning to the end, no one tried to investigate the darkness below. Instead, everyone wanted to drag Feng Xi into the water~
good, very good, excellent!
