After Li Chengqian asked the doubts in his heart, the old man in front of him kept explaining the situation in front of him.
He now unconditionally believed in the people in front of him. One was General Hou Junji, whom his son once loyal to and sacrificed his life for, and the other was the prince of the dynasty.
Of course, the existence was proved by General Hou. After looking at the Tang Jun with bright armor and neat military appearance, the old man was completely relieved and told everything he knew.
It turned out that they had never received any order on benevolent government, and they should collect whatever taxes they should, and because they had little information here, no one raised any objections in the six months after the benevolent government was promulgated. The county magistrate went further and gave They have added a lot of rules and regulations, making it increasingly difficult for them to live their lives.
He didn't know what it was like in the distance, he only knew the village where they were now.
Those who could escape have already escaped. As for where they escaped and what the consequences were, it is unknown.
Li Chengqian's originally kind face became uglier the more he listened to what the old man said, and he suddenly turned to look at Hou Junji.
"General Hou."
"The end will be here."
Hou Junji responded decisively, waiting for Li Chengqian's order in front of him, while Li Chengqian looked at him.
"No matter what method you use now, I want you to find out immediately who is in charge of where we are now, what kind of orders he has issued, and whether anyone behind him has benefited. What kind of courage do you have to do this? Case."
After Li Chengqian said this loudly, the old man knelt down in front of Li Chengqian with a bang.
"His Royal Highness, the Holy Ming."
Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to Hou Junji next to him at all, and hurriedly turned around to leave to do things. Instead, he stepped forward and helped the old man in front of him. After being helped up, the old man burst into tears, like a child.
"Finally, we have met a wise monarch who can provide us with justice."
The old man didn't say it was okay, but the more he talked about it, the more confused Li Chengqian became.
"How could it be like this? How could I receive such a courtesy from an old man? Didn't I tell you that? Even if my father sees you at your age, you still have to treat me respectfully as a junior."
The more sincerely Li Chengqian spoke, the more the old man in front of him burst into tears in front of Li Chengqian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and considers me so much, but I have no way to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. I can only hate that I only have a son, and he died in battle. I wish I could serve His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The old man burst into tears, and Li Chengqian looked at him and smiled.
"Why do you need to be like this, old man? Isn't that what I should be doing?"
They talked happily like this, and the sudden appearance of the army in the village made the people in the village anxious as the scholar who met Li Chengqian walked out of the courtyard again.
Looking at the soldiers standing motionless outside, he stepped forward curiously and asked.
"I don't know why you are here, sir. Is there anything you need from us here?"
The soldier in front of him spoke hurriedly after the scholar asked.
"Sir, you are polite. We are here by chance. If I need anything, I will tell you immediately. Just do whatever you need to do. Don't pay too much attention to me."
The teacher of kings.
After the soldier replied, a word popped up in the mind of the scholar Merk. Besides the king's army, who else can command such elite soldiers and horses?
I couldn't help but be even more curious as to why they came. Could it be that they were redressing our grievances?
With such an idea, the scholar's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be filled with hope for the next life.
"Someone has come to uphold justice for us, and someone can let us live a happy life like anywhere else. What a happy feeling!"
Although they are men of letters, they still know a lot of news. Today's men of letters are not blind to what is happening outside the window.
The idiot literati who only read the books of sages are the literati who are proficient in poetry, books, rituals and music, and can do everything with ease.
When Li Chengqian arranged for Hou Junji to go out to collect intelligence, he suddenly clapped his hands.
"Look, I actually forgot what happened now."
When Li Chengqian spoke, the old man in front of him was surprised again. He didn't know what Li Chengqian had forgotten. Then he looked at Li Chengqian curiously, waiting for Li Chengqian's order. Li Chengqian didn't feel embarrassed at all and scratched his head.
"Here comes someone."
As Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
"What is your Highness going to do?"
When everyone came to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian spoke directly.
"Hurry up and mobilize a batch of food and grass for emergency relief. The people in front of you are my subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and they must be treated like my people of the Tang Dynasty.
If the county magistrate here makes things difficult for them, then as the prince, I must uphold justice for them. We haven't found out what happened yet, and I can't let them go hungry. Don't we bring a lot of supplies of food and grass? Give them some of it quickly. "
As Li Chengqian finished speaking, the soldiers clasped their fists and went to prepare the supplies Li Chengqian requested.
Soon, all the supplies were ready. After asking Li Chengqian for instructions, these Tang soldiers divided into pairs and pairs, taking the little supplies Li Chengqian arranged for them, they went door to door to knock on their courtyards.
The person who was originally frightened by the sudden appearance of the army in his courtyard suddenly heard a knock on the door and couldn't help but tremble again.
Some young children cuddled up against their parents, who looked outside with sad faces.
"What's going on? Are they here to collect taxes again? We've caught up with the good times. Why are our lives more miserable than before?"
The child in front of him couldn't help but worry, but his parents smiled in front of him.
"Stop thinking about all this mess, let's go and see what's going on. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and the car will have a road before it reaches the mountain. We can't be forced to death by this county magistrate. If this is the case, we will follow suit. Others should go live in a new place, even if they fall into the trap of bandits, it is better than dying of starvation."
"Yes! It doesn't matter if we starve to death, but what about our children?"
The woman said this, and the man who headed the household gritted his teeth for the last time.
"Madam said it's a prosperous time, then I'll go and see if I can delay it for a day. If it really can't be delayed, we have no choice but to leave."
When the man opened the door to see what was going on, the woman even complained about her baby, humming some tunes softly, trying to comfort him so as not to make him too scared, but the man moved forward fearfully. When I went to open the courtyard door, I immediately saw more than ten soldiers standing at the door of the courtyard, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
"Gentlemen, I have done nothing wrong. You...what are you doing?"
Seeing a dozen soldiers standing in front of him, the man who didn't know what to say for a moment stood at the door in fear. However, after the man opened the door, the soldiers did not make it too difficult for him, but instead responded to him. She bowed her hands to him and smiled.
"This brother is polite."
Although I didn't know how to call the man in front of me for a moment, I quickly thought of a good word, brother.
Aren't these brothers?
All the people of the Tang Dynasty deserve to be called brothers.
After the soldier called him brother, he was suddenly greeted by the man in front of him.
"When did this happen? To be called a brother."
Although I didn't know exactly what was going on, I was still there to comply carefully.
"Fellow military lords, I don't deserve to be called my brother. If you have anything to do, just say it. I will definitely know everything and tell you everything."
This confused man was still very worried and didn't know what was going on. He once again lowered his posture in front of these military masters and begged them to tell him anything. want to know them
Come and see yourself.
And these soldiers didn't have any embarrassment and hurriedly started talking in front of him.
"We are here to help you on the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince. The food that Your Highness brought here in a hurry is not much, only this one. I hope you don't mind. When His Highness the Crown Prince investigates what is going on here, he will definitely give you justice. .”
After the soldier said this, the man was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the soldier who was talking to him took a step back and waved, asking the soldier behind him to come forward.
I saw a small basket in his hand, with some food in it.
At this moment, the man burst into tears, crying so heartbreakingly.
"Mother-in-law, come out quickly, mother-in-law, come out quickly, Master Qingtian is here, Master Qingtian is here."
As the man was crying like this, the woman who was holding her child in the courtyard suddenly froze and couldn't help but murmured.
"Where did Mr. Qingtian come from? He just made things difficult for our county magistrate. Just to put it nicely, he gave him the title of Mr. Qingtian. But does Mr. Qingtian also make things so difficult for us?"
But when the man spoke, the woman didn't dare to say anything, so she had to carefully instruct her child.
"Don't say anything later. Don't say anything when you listen to me. You must wait until you are talking to your mother and father before you say anything else. Otherwise, don't say anything else. Otherwise, you will be in trouble for your mother and your father. Father causes trouble."
Although the child in his eyes is still young, he still understands these principles and can understand them quickly.
"Don't worry, mother, if you don't let me speak, I will act like a mute and say nothing."
"Okay, my good son!"
After saying that, the woman kissed her son again and still held her son resolutely to the door. But just as he came over, the man saw the mother-in-law coming and pulled her instantly.
"Kneel down quickly and thank these military masters for sending us food and grass."
"What?"
The woman was stunned and said, "Send us food. How is this possible? The county magistrate has already burned incense without robbing them of food, and he will also arrange for people to deliver food?"
Seeing the woman's incomprehensible look, the man hurriedly spoke.
"This is the team of His Highness the Crown Prince. This is the Crown Prince who came to rescue us. He also said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and give us justice."
This time the mother-in-law always reacted. Then the man knelt at the door.
"I can't thank you enough for your kindness."
As he spoke, he went to buckle his head, which frightened the soldier all of a sudden.
"Please get up quickly, His Highness the Crown Prince does not want you to be like this."
