Tang Yue saw a child hiding behind the tree not far away. The child showed a face and looked at his food eagerly.
What kind of look is that? Tang Yue vowed that he had never been so eager for something in his life.
Tang Yue's heart trembled, he looked around, secretly waved to the child, the other side hesitated for a moment, then walked out from the trunk, step by step carefully close.
Tang Yue saw the child's appearance. He was skinny and black. At first glance, he thought he was an African refugee.
Tang Yue handed him the rest of his food. The other side looked at him for half a sound. Tentatively, he stretched out his hands and then retracted in half. It was like the habits of cats.
"Take it. That's all." Tang Yue sighed and put most of the cake into his arms.
The child's nose moved, showing a satisfied and grateful smile, and then quickly fled back to the village, hands tightly protect the food in his arms.
Tang Yue gazed at his disappearing figure for a long time. When he came back to his mind, he found that there was more than half a cake in front of him. The person who gave him food was looking down at the map in his hand.
"Thank you." Tang Yue is not polite, thanks to continue to eat.
Since he came to this world, he will insist on eating even the worst food. When people face the threat of hunger, he has no right to be picky.
After dinner, Tang Yue came up to Wang zizhao and glanced at the map in his hand. It has to be said that the map of this era is so simple that ordinary people can't understand it.
Wang zizhao pointed to a place like a mountain and a stone and said: "it is speculated that the bandit village is most likely to be in this location."
"Where are we now Tang Yue asked.
Wang zizhao moved back along a line and pointed to a certain position. "Here, it only takes an hour to reach that mountain peak."
"Cough..." After choking on the water and wiping his mouth carelessly, Zhao stood up and went to warm up.
One hour, another hour, he will fight hard with others. How can I do if I'm nervous?
Zhao Sanlang waved his arms and legs at random, and winked at Chaoping. They were not sure what plot they were going to discuss.
Tang Yue couldn't laugh or cry. If the second generation of officials were all of this virtue, I'm afraid the country would not be in chaos. It's so friendly.
"Departure..." At the command of Hu Jinpeng, the team continued to move forward.
Before three steps, someone ran out of the village, shouting: "my lord You can't... "
Tang looked back and saw a white haired old man limping along with a branch, followed by the child he had just seen.
"My Lord, don't move on..."
"What do you mean, old man?" Hu Jinpeng sat on the back of the horse and looked down at the old one.
The two men knelt down on the ground with a plop, and knocked their heads three times. "My Lord, there are bandits in front of me. They kill people without blinking an eye. I dare not refuse to report them."
Hu Jinpeng glanced at Prince Zhao and nodded. He continued to ask, "does the old man know where the bandit is hiding?"
"This..." The old man looked hesitant and fell on the ground.
Tang Yue went over and bent down to help them up. The child saw him with a smile and said something in dialect with his ragged clothes.
The eldest brother immediately knelt down to Tang Yue. Tang Yue's head was as big as an ox, and he pulled him tightly. "Uncle, if you know the hiding place of those thieves, please tell us that we are here to suppress the bandits."
"No You can't... " The old man waved his hand again and again, and the pit pit Baba said, "there are many of them, and there are officials to support them. If you go there, you will die."
“……” The more startled the Tang Dynasty, he was busy looking at Prince Zhao. The gold content of this sentence was too great.
Prince Zhao raised his hand, and the four sedan bearers quickly landed the sedan chair steadily. He came over with his hands on his back and asked with a heavy face, "do you know the number of bandits? And why do they have the government as their backing? "
Wang zizhao's temperament was obviously several grades higher than that of Tang Yue, and he was not so easy-going as Tang Yue.
The old man was so scared that he bent down. If Tang Yue didn't support him, he would kneel down again.
Tang Yue really wants to say that these kneeling etiquette can be avoided, and speaking well can save some time.
"This young master, if I say something I shouldn't say today, we will not be able to survive in our village tomorrow."
"Ben The young master will protect you thoroughly. How many people in your village can pack up and move eastward now. When you arrive at Yuxin City, you will have your own arrangements. "
Prince Zhao called a bodyguard, "he is the son of the Lord of Yuxin city. You can rest assured."
Tang Yue opened his mouth and looked at the guard. Unexpectedly, Wang zizhao pulled out a bodyguard at random. All of them were the sons of the city Lord!
Before that, he used to play with these guards, and he felt that he was so approachable that he was condescended to be expensive. He didn't expect that people would give him face. No, Wang zizhao was only willing to take care of him.After hearing this, the old man knelt down again, "thank you for your kindness. On behalf of the villagers, I thank you for your kindness."
"Get up, and now tell me all you know."
"Here it is." The old man stood up, bowed his waist and put his chest in his chest and said, "these thieves were homeless refugees in the neighborhood at first. At first, they only robbed the merchants' money and goods, but did not hurt people.
However, a year ago, these bandits changed their heads. He was vicious. He not only took money, but also killed people. After his bad reputation spread, there were fewer businessmen coming and going. So he started to think of a nearby village.
You can see that our village is now withering. If so, I thought that although I was not enough to eat and not warm to wear, at least the family got together, and life was still going on.
Since the thief visited our village, he robbed the young men and women, and there was no food and money left. We, the old and the weak, were useless to them, so we survived.
I heard that the thief now has a thousand strong soldiers. A few days ago, my little boy came back with injuries. He told us to leave here as soon as possible. The thief will circle this area for a hundred miles as his kingdom, and we will be taken to mine and work for him. "
"The government doesn't care?" Tang Yue thought it was a little inconceivable that such a group of criminals were running around and committing crimes on their own territory. How could the government ignore it?
"It's said that the thief bribed the vice Lord of Qinyang City, so they have been in peace. However, a few days ago, for some reason, the government sent troops to suppress the bandits, but the whole army was destroyed. That's why I want to obstruct all the adults. The bandit's nest is not so easy to suppress."
Wang zizhao frowned slightly, and asked Hu Jinpeng, "how did you write the fold that was played on Qinyang City at the beginning?"
"It is only said that there are hundreds of bandits outside the city who specially rob the passing merchants. Because of the limited forces in the city, several times and three times of sending troops to encircle and suppress the city have failed, and then they have asked for support."
Tang Yue a little dizzy, "if those people collude with is the Deputy City Lord, the city Lord adult does not make a voice?"
"Xiaolang didn't know that the city leader of Qinyang City was a ten year old baby, and the Deputy City Lord made decisions on all matters in the city." Hu Jinpeng answered his doubts.
"What? How did a ten year old kid become a city Lord Tang Yue secretly said: can't even the city master be the rice bowl of his son's inheritance?
The answer is really like this. The Lord of Qinyang City is a loyal and brave Marquis who was personally appointed by the king. He can follow three generations. After the old city Lord died, his son succeeded to the throne. After his son died, his grandson inherited the family property.
When he became the Lord of the city, he was still a baby in his arms. He was born with a golden key, and soon after he was born, he got the status and wealth that other people could not obtain through hard work all their life.
Tang Yue sighed secretly for a while and listened to Hu Jinpeng's analysis: "maybe it was that the bandits' power developed too fast, and the bandit leader was ambitious and violated the interests of the Vice City Lord of Qinyang City. After their cooperation and discussion, they fought each other.
And the Deputy City Lord suddenly realized that the thief is not what he used to be, and he can no longer eliminate it with his fingers. So he had to report the matter to the court and ask for support. "
Tang Yue wanted to clap his hands after listening to it. Brother Xiao Hu's analysis was in place. In a word, an underworld organization attached to a senior official was more and more powerful and had more and more people. So he wanted to get rid of the control of the senior official. The two sides collapsed and the underworld rose and won. So the official was in a hurry.
What should I do if I can't make it? Look for organizations and countries! That's why they came out to suppress the bandits.
What a response to that sentence: if you don't die, you won't die!
In Tang Yue's opinion, the Vice City Lord was totally responsible for his own death.
