Chapter 597

Sima Lang immediately understood Zhang Xiu's inquiry. Previously, the reason why Zhang Xiu did not ask and agreed to the award was that there were too many people and too many mouths. Once Zhang Xiu expressed her doubts, it was very likely that there would be rumors.

After thinking about it, Sima Lang replied, "does the Lord think that the news about the killing of Huang Tiandao in Xin'an County is false?"

"It's possible!"

Zhang Xiu asked, "what do you think?"

Sima Lang replied, "the magistrate of Xin'an County is called Xun Si. This person comes from the Xunzi family in Yingchuan. Although he is not the lineage of the Xunzi family, he is also a member of the Xunzi family. "I have the ability to promote myself."

After a pause, Sima Lang continued: "when he was in charge of Xin'an County, the government was in harmony with the people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He is a man of considerable ability. Such a man will not lie about military intelligence. "

"It is his ability that makes him suspicious."

Seeing that his elder brother could not find out the problem, Sima Yi sighed in his heart and explained: "since Xun Si is so capable, the government of Xin'an County under his rule is harmonious and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Under such a premise, even if there is a severe drought, how can Huang Tiandao suddenly attack the official yamen? "

"Huang Tiandao has no support from the common people, no believers, what strength does he have?"

"In the final analysis, the supernatural organizations like Huang Tiandao rely on the people's dissatisfaction with the government to gather believers. Just like the old Taiping Road. "

Sima Yi said: "Huang Tiandao appeared in Xin'an County without any reason, and then attacked the government. This is suspicious. It's even more suspicious that he killed more than 300 Huang Tiandao thieves in one go. "

After Sima Lang heard this, he fell into silence. He didn't believe the person he was promoted to, and it turned out to be a lie. If it's a lie, what's the matter with these 300 people?

The situation is complicated.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "you still praise Xun Si. I'm afraid there are some problems in today's Hongnong county. You still do your business, Huang Tiandao's business, leave it to me. "

"Here it is

Sima Lang answered directly.

He still believed in Xun Si, but he didn't want to believe that Xun Si would lie.

After arranging Xun Si's affairs, Zhang Xiu stayed in Hongnong County for one day, then set out again, all the way west, straight to Xin'an County. Along the way, Zhang Xiu arranged for the royal guards of Wang Yue to inquire about the news.

Be sure to find out the situation before Zhang Xiu arrives.

All the way to the county, there is no trouble, there is no so-called huangtiandao. Such a situation further confirms that Huang Tiandao has a problem. It's impossible for a supernatural organization like Huang Tiandao to pass around in only one place.

Although it is still dry along the way, the people's life is still passable. After all, the weather was good all year round last year, the people had a good harvest and some surplus food at home. Even if there is a drought, the government is also providing relief and diverting water, so it can survive.

Just like this, Zhang Xiu is more and more suspicious of the so-called Xun Si's killing more than 300 people of Huang Tiandao. All parts of the country are living and working in peace and contentment. How did Huang Tiandao come out?

When Zhang Xiu was on the way, she received a message from the royal guards. Zhang Xiu looks at the letter in her hand, but her expression is getting colder and colder.

This scene surprised Sima Yi.

Something's wrong!

This was Sima Yi's first feeling. He immediately asked, "Lord, what's the matter?"

"See for yourself!"

Zhang Xiu hands the letter to Sima Yi, and her eyes are hard to hide.

Sima Yi took over and quickly browsed. When he finished, he was shocked. Unexpectedly, the situation in Xin'an County turned out to be like this. Xun Si instigated everything.

Huang Tiandao does exist.

After the drought, there were preachers in Xin'an County, intending to attract believers.

In fact, not many people believe in it.

On the contrary, after the drought, some poor people in Xin'an County gathered around the county government, about 300 people. These people look for Xun Si, hoping that Xun Si can give them a way to live. However, Xuns directly mobilized soldiers to suppress and arrest all these people.

On the spot, Xun Si didn't kill anyone.

But now it seems that Xun Si must have killed all the three hundred poor people. In particular, Xunsi also arrested Huang Tiandao in Xin'an County and killed a few of Huang Tiandao's people.

Everything is planted on Huang Tiandao.

In the end, not only the common people were killed, but also they were reduced to Xun Si's tools to ask for help. It can be said that even if he is dead, he will be used by Xuns.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said, "Lord, Xun Si is so hateful that he deserves to die. But it's a big deal. What are you going to do with Xuns? "

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "next, we hide our tracks and rush to Xin'an County secretly. Xun Si dares to commit such a crime and kill Liang. I don't know if there is anyone behind him? If there is no one, it has no influence. If Xun Si's back is actually someone, our rash going is tantamount to frightening the snake. "Sima Yi said: "my Lord is wise!"

For Huang Tiandao, Zhang Xiu is very alert. Such a ghost organization, especially Huang Tiandao and Taiping Dao, is not much different. Under such a premise, Zhang Xiu subconsciously believes that Huang Tiandao intends to make trouble.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu is very cautious.

Zhang Xiu and his party were on their way quickly.

At the end of June, Zhang Xiu quietly entered Xin'an County. So far, it hasn't rained, and the drought is still going on. In the fields, the land has dried up, the ponds have dried up, and the ground has cracked.

All the seedlings are dry.

At this time, the focus is no longer to protect the grain planted, but to ensure drinking water for people and animals.

Everyone, we need to survive.

Zhang Xiu also obviously felt the hardship of life. Especially after entering Xin'an County, Zhang Xiu found that people seldom dig wells to store water, and even no ditches to draw water from the river.

As a sheriff, Sima Lang had already carried out the order issued by Chang'an, requiring all counties to build ditches to divert water from the river, and even required the people to dig wells to collect water and store water, so as to pass the disaster years.

But in Xin'an County, there are few.

Is this the official?

Zhang Xiuyue went to the county seat of Xin'an County, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Sima Yi follows Zhang Xiu and obviously feels that Zhang Xiu's anger is surging. In his heart, he even secretly scolded his elder brother, appointed officials, and didn't know the following situation, so that there was such a mess.

Fortunately, the same situation did not appear in the other counties. If this is the case in all the other counties, Sima Lang must have been planted.

When arriving in the county, Zhang Xiu and his party quietly entered and found an inn in the city to have a rest.

In the room, people take their seats.

Sima Yi looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Lord, how can we break the situation now? I'm afraid it's going to frighten the snake if you directly tell me your identity. "

Zhang Xiu looked calm and said in a deep voice: "it's OK, there are royal guards here."

After a pause, Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and said, "Wang Yue, mobilize the royal guards under your command. I'll give you a day to bring Xuns to the inn before midnight tonight. "

"Here it is

Wang Yue responded directly.

For the royal guards, it's not difficult to capture Xun Si secretly.

Zhang Xiu arranges to arrest Xun Si. Instead of staying in the inn, she takes Sima Yi around the city and inquires about Xun Si's official voice.
