Feiyun asked: "Who is that hall master?"
Gao Jiedushi replied: "He is a man named Lu Yuan."
Feiyun remembered that Lu Yuan was injured and was killed by Qin, and said: "Is he unrepentant or has he awakened?"
Gao Jiedushi said: "This person is quite cooperative and answers whatever I ask. However, his knowledge is limited and he did not give out any useful information."
Feiyun said: "If he wants to repent, please let him live." Feiyun had a good impression of this man, so he wanted to help him.
Gao Jiedushi asked strangely: "Do you have any connection with him? If you insist on letting him go, I will give you face."
Feiyun said: "Thank you so much, sir. Then please bring him here, and we can ask him together?"
After a while, Lu Yuan was taken away. Feiyun saw that his face was haggard and listless, so he said, "Hallmaster Lu, you are fine."
Lu Yuan was startled. He looked up and saw that it was Feiyun and said, "Master, please stop teasing me. I have already said everything I know."
Feiyun asked: "Then are you willing to change your ways?" Lu Yuan hurriedly replied that of course he was. Bai Lu said that he still had a wife and children.
Lu Yuan hurriedly asked the adults to release him. He wasn't really evil, he was just being used.
Gao Jiedushi said: "Today, for Mr. Lin's sake, I will let you go once. If you don't repent, I will die."
Lu Yuan hurriedly kowtowed in thanks and said: "I don't dare, I will be an honest man from now on. I will definitely not be involved in the Jianghu. I live in Tanzhou, and there are seniors and juniors, so I can't escape." Lu Yuan finished. , and kowtowed to Feiyun a few more times. Feiyun said: "Don't do evil again in the future. If you only repent superficially, no one will be able to save you by then."
Lu Yuan said: "This little guy understands. Thank you so much, Master, for saving me."
Feiyun said to Gao Jiedushi: "Then thank you for your help!"
Gao Jiedushi said: "Since you came to plead for mercy, let him leave with you, and I will return to the capital. If you arrive in the capital, you can come to me."
Feiyun said: "If you get to the capital, you must go and see the Lord. I'll say goodbye." Then he and Lu Yuan left the government office. Lu Yuan said: "Thank you very much, Master, for saving me. Please let Lu Yuan follow you from now on."
Feiyun smiled and said, "That's unnecessary. I don't have money to hire a bodyguard. You have to support your family, so there's no point in following me. Just say goodbye." Lu Yuan had no choice but to leave.
At this time, Liangchen and Meimei came over and asked, "Master, why is he out?"
Feiyun said: "I am begging you, sir, to spare him once. This man is not bad in nature. Let's give him a chance. Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go shopping?"
Liangchen said: "We want to go shopping, and you have to accompany us."
Feiyun and Liu Shui said: "That's fine, I have nothing to do today anyway, so let's go shopping with the two beauties." The three of them walked slowly.
Feiyun, Liangchen and Meimei didn't go shopping for long when Liangchen said he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. Feiyun felt strange. Normally she was quite capable of wandering around. Then he asked: "Liangchen, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? You're getting tired so quickly today."
Liangchen smiled and said: "Master, I have no strength. Why don't you carry me on your back?"
Feiyun smiled and said: "Are you still a child? You still have to carry it, and you are not shy."
Meimei said: "She wants the young master to give her some of his inner strength."
Liangchen said: "Beautiful Beauty still knows my thoughts, and Beautiful Beauty also wants it, right?"
Feiyun smiled and said: "Do you think I am a basin for gathering internal energy?"
The good time and the beautiful scenery said in unison: "Young Master is biased."
Feiyun asked strangely: "Why do you say that?"
Liangchen said: "Master, do we really want to take Sister Lan Xing to the capital?"
Feiyun said: "That's right. I have finished my work here, so there is no need to stay in Tanzhou. As for Lanxing's matter, there is no way to solve it without going to the capital!" Liangchen and Meimei heard that they could talk to him Naturally, I was very happy to go to the capital.
While the three of them were talking, they returned to the inn. Liu Shui immediately told Tianxiang and others that everyone would leave tomorrow. Everyone knows what happened in Xiangmen, so Feiyun naturally wants to escort Lan Xing to Beijing.
Naturally, everyone had no objections and went to prepare separately. Xu Xuzhitang and others had long wanted to leave Tanzhou and send Lan Xing to Luoyang as soon as possible. They haven't been home for a long time, so naturally they want to go home.
Feiyun was about to go to rest, but heard endless noise outside. He hurriedly walked out of the door and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounding a place in the distance. He walked over and saw clearly that it was Zhang Dahu who had led people to surround hundreds of people. After Xu Qiong's death, Gao Jiedu promoted Zhang Dahu to commander.
Zhang Dahu was shouting to the people: "Listen, the grain tax must be paid today, otherwise everyone will be thrown into jail." The people cried out that they were wronged. An elder came forward and said: "Master, we have already handed it in as required, why do we have to pay it again?"
Zhang Dahu said: "The imperial court has an urgent need and must comply with it. It doesn't matter what happened last time." When Zhang Dahu took office as a new official, he was eager to make achievements.
The old man said: "We really can't afford to pay." Zhang Dahu shouted: "If you dare to resist, you will be punished."
Everyone shouted: "Does the government not want us to live?" The people were furious and picked up sticks and poles one after another. The officers and soldiers also drew their swords from their scabbards and drew their bows and arrows. The situation was imminent.
Seeing that the people were trying to cause trouble, Zhang Dahu waved his sword and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
Seeing that the situation was critical, Feiyun didn't have time to think about it and quickly shouted: "Stop."
After Feiyun shouted, he raised his inner strength and jumped up. He turned over in the air and landed between the people and the officers and soldiers. He said to Zhang Dahu: "Please give the order immediately and the officers and soldiers retreat. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Dahu saw that it was the government office and waved the officers and soldiers to retreat. He heard about Feiyun's rescue of the princess, and knew that he had extraordinary martial arts skills and was valued by Jiedushi, so naturally he did not dare to offend easily.
Feiyun said coldly: "Master Zhang, what are you going to do? Are you planning to massacre these innocent people?"
Zhang Dahu said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, I have misunderstood. I am just following orders. The Jiedu Envoy has ordered that every household in Tanzhou must pay taxes. They actually resisted, and I can only do this."
Feiyun asked in surprise: "What did you say was the order from Jiedushi?"
Zhang Dahu said: "Of course, the government has posted a notice, Zhang will not dare to falsely pass the order."
The old man said to Feiyun: "There was a notice from the government a few days ago, but we really can't afford it, so we have to gather people to redress our grievances."
Feiyun wondered why the high-ranking military commander issued such an order. Wasn't he trying to force the people to rebel? It seems like I have to go find him and find out.
Feiyun immediately said to Zhang Dahu: "In this case, I won't embarrass you. You evacuate the troops first, and I will take them to see the Jiedushi. Wait for him to give instructions, what do you think?"
Zhang Dahu thought for a while and said, "For the sake of rescuing the princess, I will give you face today." Then he led the people away.
Feiyun turned around and said to the people: "Everyone, please go home first. I will go to the government office to intercede on your behalf. Everyone is waiting for news at home." But everyone refused and wanted to go together. Feiyun had no choice but to agree.
The common people followed Feiyun to the government office. The guards outside the government office were immediately nervous and on full alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The government official said to everyone: "Please sit still, don't make any noise, let alone move rashly. To avoid misunderstanding." He also asked several old men to appease everyone and wait for the good news.
Feiyun then came to the door of the government office and showed the Jiedushi's token. As expected, the guard let him go. Feiyun came to the hall and saw Gao Jiedushi.
When Gao Jiedu saw that it was Feiyun, he said: "You came just in time. I was thinking of someone to find you, but you came by yourself."
Feiyun said hurriedly: "Sir, the common people are here to intercede on behalf of the people outside the door."
Gao Jiedushi said: "Young Master is unaware of something. I was forced to do this because of helplessness."
Recently, the imperial court is preparing to use troops abroad and is in urgent need of money and food. Therefore, the urging was very urgent, and the high-temperature governor had to re-collect taxes to meet the urgent need.
Feiyun said: "Aren't you afraid of getting hurt if you act like this? The people are so angry now. Wouldn't it be worse if it leads to a civil uprising?"
Gao Jiedushi asked: "What do you have in mind?"
Feiyun said: "Please revoke your order to re-impose taxes and calm the people's minds. Feiyun will try to solve the problem of grain and silver. Please tolerate me for a while."
Gao Jiedu hesitated, then Gao Dan walked in with the support of Cheng Yu. After several days of careful treatment and care by Cheng Yu, Gao Dan has improved. Although his internal injuries have not healed, he can barely walk.
Gao Dan said: "Master Lin is right. Please listen to your advice. If there is a civil uprising, my father will be guilty of more sins. Please think again."
Cheng Yu also said: "My lord, you can't catch all the benefits, otherwise there will be endless troubles. My lord, tell the story truthfully. I believe the emperor can understand the sentiments of the people."
Gao Jiedu thought for a moment and said to Feiyun: "I can promise you to postpone the tax increase. But you also have to promise me something."
Feiyun guessed that he was talking about looking for food and silver, so he said, "You have your orders, and you should obey them."
Gao Huailiang said: "Some people in Shaozhou gathered to make trouble. The local officers and soldiers were unsuccessful in suppressing it, so the court ordered me to go out. After I left, the government office was empty, so I wanted to ask you to come and take charge. When the experts from the capital arrive, I will go look for food and silver for me. .What do you think, Young Master?"
Gao Dan said: "Dad, why are you troubling Mr. Liu Lin?"
Feiyun felt a little surprised, thought for a while and said: "Thanks to your lord's respect, the common people must obey your orders." Then he said to Gao Dan: "Princess, there is no need to be polite, the common people volunteer to serve."
The envoy Gao Jiedu then said: "You can go outside to appease the people first, and I will order a suspension of tax collection."
Feiyun was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, sir. The people of Tanzhou will be even more grateful for your kindness."
Gao Jiedushi said: "You're welcome, please come over early tomorrow."
Feiyun said goodbye to Gao Jiedushi and Gao Dan, greeted Cheng Yu, then came to the door and conveyed Gao Jiedushi's order to the people.
After hearing this, the people burst into cheers. They thanked Liu Shui in unison and kowtowed to the government office. After a long time of commotion, the crowd dispersed.
Feiyun returned to the inn and informed everyone that he had agreed to the request of the high military commander. Meimei hurriedly said: "In this case, the plan to go north to Luoyang this time can only be postponed."
Tianxiang was disgusted with Gao Dan, so she said, "I'm not interested in looking after people's homes. If I want to go to you, I won't go."
Feiyun said hurriedly: "Sister Tianxiang, I'll take Liangchen Meijing with me. Sister Lanxing just needs someone to accompany you, so you can stay in the away battle." Feiyun knew why Tianxiang was hostile to Gao Dan. It was purely for himself, so Tianxiang was not forced.
As soon as the sky dawned, Feiyun, Liangchen and beautiful scenery came to the government office and saw Gao Jiedushi waiting in the main hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he was surprised to see Princess Changping there.
Gao Jiedushi said: "It was my daughter who invited the princess to come as a guest."
When Gao Jiedu saw that Feiyun and Princess Changping had arrived, he told Gao Quan to obey their orders. He immediately sent out the order and sent everyone to the door.
Everyone returned to the main hall. After the last battle, they were all familiar with each other.
Feiyun then asked Gao Dan: "How is the princess injured?"
Gao Dan said: "After careful treatment by Sister Cheng Yu, there is no serious problem. The internal injuries can only be healed slowly. I'm thinking of you, sir."
It turned out that Chengyu was in the battle of Taogong Temple. Although she was rescued, her grandfather Xu Qiong died of his injuries. Seeing that she had become an orphan, Gao Dan took Cheng Yu in, and the two also
Liu Shui asked again: "Linglong, Miss Lingli, how are your injuries?" Although the injuries of Linglong and the two were not as serious as the princess, they were not serious, and they still needed a long time to recover.
Gao Dan said: "Young master will be busy during this period. When the masters from the capital arrive, you can busy yourself with your own affairs." He then said to Liangchen and Meijing, "Thank you for your hard work, two girls. I don't know what Liangchen has thought of recently." ?”
Gao Dan was impressed by Liangchen and was very polite.
Liangchen said: "I suspect that these things are related to one person, but there is no evidence. They should make another move next, so be careful.
Princess Gao said, "Miss Liangchen is just a guess. Don't scare her." Seeing that they wanted to blame Liangchen, Gao Dan hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Liangchen.
After Gao Dan finished speaking, he arranged for Gao Quan to take everyone to familiarize themselves with the government office environment. Feiyun and the others settled down in the government office.
A few days later, Feiyun and others were talking in the hall. The guard at the door came to report that there was a girl named Xi Ge who asked to see Feiyun.
Feiyun was startled and thought to himself, didn't Shige go back to his hometown with Yunmeng? Why did they come to see me? Could it be that they encountered some trouble? Feiyun immediately asked Liangchen to go out and bring Si Ge in. After a while, Si Ge came to the hall with Liangchen and greeted Gao Dan and Feiyun.
Feiyun asked: "Sige, didn't you follow Miss Yunmeng back to your hometown? Why are you here again?"
Xi Ge said: "Reporting to Shaoxia Lin, we were attacked the day before yesterday. Miss Yunmeng felt it was necessary to let you know, so she asked me to come back and tell you."
Feiyun was naturally very worried when he heard that they were attacked, and asked hurriedly: "Is anyone injured?" Si Ge said: "A few guards were slightly injured, but everyone else is safe."
Feiyun became less concerned now. Care took a deep breath and told Xi Ge to sit down and explain the matter slowly. Feiyun thought that Yunmeng's attack might be just a coincidence and he shouldn't take it too seriously. What's more, the opponent obviously has low martial arts skills and will not be a powerful character.
