Chapter 86 The Truth

"What? Is the banditry here already so serious? Isn't it said that there are only four or five thousand mountain thieves? Why is there something wrong with the nearby counties?

Liu Xia asked in surprise.

When Wu Jiajun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Liu Xia could say four or five thousand words. Obviously, he didn't know the situation here and how bad it was.

"Four or five thousand? This gentleman, look at the appearance of this county. Can four or five thousand mountain thieves make a scene?

Wu Jiajun said disdainfully.

The people of the Tianji Dynasty are fierce, and everyone is martial arts. If the four or five thousand mountain thieves continue to invade, even if the government doesn't care, the people's clans will organize resistance. Otherwise, the people themselves will also resist, which is really not so bad for this person to be in danger.

"The state capital doesn't care? Doesn't the Metropolitan Inspect care? Doesn't the imperial platform care?"

Liu Xia asked again.

When Wu Jiajun heard Liu Xia say this, he looked at Liu Xia again. At this moment, Wu Jiajun seemed to think that Liu Xia was not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people, when they heard that the noise here was so serious, they had already packed up and got out of here.

But Liu Xia asked endlessly here, and from his questions, he could hear his understanding of the imperial system, and he said with one more heart:

"This gentleman, who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I just ask you, why doesn't the state capital care?"

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"State capital? Well, don't mention it. At first, when the bandits quarreled here, the state government reported to the court and sent troops to encircle and suppress it. As a result, the encirclement was carried out several times, but it did not improve. Instead, it became more and more noisy. The emperor removed a few senior officials, and the result was good. After a few times, the masters above simply concealed and did not report for their own black yarn. Even if it is reported, it will be reported as you said, four or five thousand people. Of course, the court will not pay attention to it. Over time, the more the gangsters here are, the more afraid to report. If there is a relationship, they all leave here through the relationship and leave the problem to the next person. When the next person comes, they will be dumped to the next person. They patted their buttocks and left. It's just the people here who are bitter.

Wu Jiajun said here, a little excited. He didn't seem to care that he was also a court official, just like ordinary people, cursing.

When Liu Xia heard this, she couldn't help smiling bitterly.

A lie is like a snowball, and it will naturally get bigger and bigger.

At this point, those state officials did not dare to stretch out any more. They could only report good news but not bad news to keep their own Wusha.

And these bandits are so serious that God knows if they have colluded with local officials?

The emperor is not a god, but a mortal. The officials below have the intention to hide him. How can he know the real situation here in Longdu?

As for the Metropolitan Inspection and Yushitai, there is no need to say more.

Originally, Liu Xia suspected that the situation here was related to Tuoba Lingyun. If he covered it up and didn't report it, the emperor would not want to know.

And the officials of Yushitai have no backbone in the first place. At first glance, if everyone doesn't say anything, they naturally dare not say it. It is reasonable to make such a scene.

"Lord Wu, it is reasonable that the emperor is exempt from taxes here. Although the land here is barren, it should be so serious to make the bandits so serious. Is there any tricks in the middle?"

Liu Xia was silent for a moment and asked again.

"Oh, this gentleman, you don't know anything. Although this place is poor, it is not as far as the land is thousands of miles away. Moreover, this place is rich in resources. Although the grain output is not good, the fishery and animal husbandry can also develop. More than ten years ago, although it could not be said to be rich, the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, since the banditry, the economy here is already fragile, coupled with the annexation of the family's land, and the corruption and incompetence of officials, it has directly collapsed. The people are panicked, so they can only go up the mountain to be robbers. The more robbers there are, the more businesses here will collapse. As a result, the people are getting poorer and poorer. If they don't have enough to eat, they will naturally rebel.

Speaking of this, Wu Jiajun was again excited and said angrily, "What's more annoying is that although the court exempted the tax here, because it has been suppressing bandits for years and the local finances can't make ends meet, so it can only set up a name and collect taxes in disguise. This is to completely cut off the people's way of life. Those who can escape have escaped. Those who can't escape have become robbers. You saw it when you entered the city. A group of beasts."

Hearing this, Liu Xia completely understood.

State government officials dare not report to the court, so the court will not allocate funds to suppress bandits, and the bandits here are so serious that they protect the city in order to protect themselves, right?

Therefore, this expenditure can only be stripped from the people. The more serious the banditry is, the more the local economy will collapse. It is understandable that it is now.

"What's the point of the bandits here?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"The vicinity of Qiu County, Mao County and Shanchuan Town has become the territory of those mountain thieves. In Yuntianling, there are more than 10,000 mountain thieves in Tianlei Village alone. There are at least seven or eight other cottages. It's miscellaneous, at least more than 30,000. This is still on the surface. Some local people are good citizens during the day and gang out to be robbers at night. If you count them again, hum, how come there are 50,000 to 60,000 people?"

Wu Jiajun analyzed with a wry smile.

When Liu Xia heard this, she really took a deep breath.

50,000 to 60,000 people is not a joke. If it is really a rebellion, I'm afraid that even the city of the state capital can't be defended. No wonder those officials dare not report it again. Whoever pokes out this basket, I don't know how many people want to lose their heads.

"Lord Wu, since it's so hard and dangerous here, why do you still stay here? Who else is there in the county government?

Liu Xia couldn't help asking curiously.

"I can't leave. I'm the only one in the county government at present."

"Why?"

"What can it be? I was also born in martial arts. First, I practiced in the southwest border garrison, and then I filled the vacancy here and became a county magistrate. When I came here, the bandits were already serious. At that time, I was still in a good spirit, thinking about the rookie of the king and share my worries for you. Then actively organize people to suppress bandits. As a result, I offended my boss. This is all a trivial matter. Later, in a suppression of bandits, a mountain thief leader was killed. After that, the mountain thieves retaliated crazily. The anti-bandit army I organized did not have supplies. It didn't last long, and the whole army was destroyed.

Speaking of which, Wu Jiajun's eyes were full of tears. Obviously, I thought of something sad.

"Later, I was caught alive by them and humiliated me in all kinds of ways. I was so angry that I begged to die. The result!"

Wu Jiajun immediately clenched his fist and said, "As a result, they let me go back in order to humiliate me. And he said that as long as I leave Qiu County or commit suicide, they will let people come to slaughter the city. It's better to die than to be insulted by a group of robbers. However, whenever I think of the people here, as their parents, I can't do justice for them and keep them safe, but I can't implict them, because I let them suffer again.

"It's too rampant. It's really rampant."

At this moment, Dabao can't listen to it anymore. The degree of rampantness of these mountain thieves is really shocking.

The court officials were bullied into this virtue. I'm afraid that the whole Dragon Soul Continent is unique.

It's Wu Jiajun, a good man who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, but also deserves the three words of parents and officials.

Liu Xia took a deep breath. Now the situation here is far more terrible than she thought.

It is unrealistic to eliminate the bandits here with the help of 3,000 or 4,000 people in Huwei.

Although the court wanted to suppress the bandits, there were only three or four thousand people. According to Liu Xia's speculation, it was only a decree to let the local officials suppress the bandits.

I'm afraid it's the same whether it's suppressing or not.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe what happened here.

For today's plan, we can only report to the emperor in advance before making plans.

Wu Jiajun saw that Liu Xia's face was uncertain, but he had no intention of leaving, so he advised again, "Sir, take your people with you. I beg you."

"Lord Wu, I won't leave."

Say this, and Liu Xia showed his official seal.

Wu Jiajun took a look and was a little confused. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, "Weichen Wu Jiajun, see Prince Weiyuan, Prince Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui."

"Lord Wu, get up quickly."

At this moment, Liu Xia helped him up and said, "To tell you the truth, Lord Wu, I was actually here to suppress bandits this time. Come on, if you don't eliminate the mountain thief, how can you go back to work?

"But the prince, you are just this little person. In case something happens, I can't afford it."

Wu Jiajun is even more anxious at this moment.

"Ha ha, if something really happens to me here, wouldn't it be good to know the secret here?"

"Oh, when is it? The prince's golden body can't make such a joke."

"Don't worry, since I dare to come, I'm not afraid of them. I'm curious, what's wrong with this mountain thief? Let them come here. Just rest assured. If I am here, I can't take a step into Qiu County.

Liu Xia said indifferently.

Wu Jiajun saw that he only had fifty or sixty people. If the mountain thieves really came, how could he resist it?

However, after all, this teenager is a prince, and he dares not say more. He is just worried. In case he provokes the mountain thieves, those mountain thieves enter the city, and it is the people here who suffer.

"Lord Wu, don't be impatient. I'll write a memorial first. I'd like to hear about the situation of the mountain thieves here in detail later.

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.

"Yes."

Wu Jiajun said hurriedly.

When Liu Xia returned to the room, she took out the paper and ink and hurriedly wrote the memorial.

We must tell the emperor about the situation here, the Dragon City.

As long as the court pays enough attention, the mountain thieves here can be wiped out.

Moreover, Liu Xia vaguely felt that the mountain thieves here have made such a scene. I'm afraid it's not just a simple problem as mountain thieves.

It can't be taken lightly any more.

After writing, Liu Xia sealed the memorial and turned around and said, "Dawei, you immediately take this memorial and go back to Longdu. Be sure to give it to Chen Mo in person.

"Yes."

At present, Tong Dawei took over the memorial and turned to leave.

"Wait, you are too dangerous alone. Inform Zhang Zong and let him go on the road with you. Be fast, but be safe."

Liu Xia told him.

"I will understand at the end."

Tong Dawei knew that Liu Xia stayed here and did not leave. He put all his life on him. If this memorial can't be sent to Longdu, God knows what will happen.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be careless. He hurried out of the room, put the golden eagle, and informed Zhang Zong and others to come to Qiu County to gather.
