Shu Blossoms

Chapter 464

The green trees are shaded, the summer is long, and the cicadas are singing and the autumn is cool.

Outside the Healthy City, Han Daoyuan was riding a horse. Looking through the Nanli Gate, he seemed to see the busy Changgan Street again. The peddlers on both sides of the street, the young children chasing candied haws, and the old people who followed behind and called them to be careful.

Going further in is the Zhuque Bridge across the Qinhuai River. There are people coming and going on the bridge, many of whom are young men looking forward to meeting their favorite people holding oil-paper umbrellas.

Go straight in, until the end of the road is Simamen, blocking the majestic Jiankang Palace. Now His Majesty the Emperor, who is sitting firmly in Xianyang Palace, is full of calculations on how to get rid of the thorn in the side of the Han family.

He used to be proud that the Han clan was full of military generals, guarding the frontier, making military exploits repeatedly, and firmly keeping the barbarians of the Great Wei out of the country.

He once believed that he was the pillar of the Great Zhou, and he never failed the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou would not fail him. It was unexpected for him to get to where he is today.

It's not that he didn't realize it at all, when the Xie Clan was destroyed, he was also shocked that all the veterans of the Great Zhou died and retreated, and now he is the only one left.

He once thought about the reason behind this, and he only hated himself for being too conceited, and the tired children worked so hard for it.

Let me end all of this now, but I still feel unwilling, leaving only regrets, and I will never see the day when Beidi recuperates.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked around the seemingly calm city of Kyoto, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Since the guy hiding in the dark didn't intend to do anything, he wouldn't accompany him.

Just as he was about to ride his horse into the city, he saw a group of people wearing coarse shorts rushing up behind him, chasing after him and shouting: "Is the general ahead? The general!"

Han Daoyuan stopped when he noticed the movement behind him, and asked Han Yu suspiciously, "Did Da Lang prepare this again?"

Han Yu shook his head, how could he know more about these things than the general, but he looked at the scholars who followed them all the way, thinking that their young masters always take one step and watch three steps It is not surprising that there are other preparations.

Han Daoyuan also felt that his Dalang might have found this again, but he felt that it might be too much to make such a fuss outside the capital, which would only make Emperor Zhou hate him even more.

He planned to leave without paying any attention, and then ordered Han Yu to disperse them, but before he could act, he saw these people kneeling down not far from them, begging bitterly, "Please help me, General, please help me!" The general is in charge of us!"

Seeing this, Han Yu said suspiciously: "General, this doesn't seem right."

"You go over to see what's going on?"

Han Daoyuan ordered, but Han Yu hesitated, "General, it's not safe here, I have to be by your side all the time!"

At this time, the scholars who followed them walked over and volunteered, Cao Kun said: "General, let us go over and ask for you."

Speaking of them, several of them walked over together, and not long after, a scholar hurried back with a serious expression: "General, the matter is a bit serious, it's better for you to intervene in person!"

The person hiding in the dark looked at the situation a little hesitantly, "Your Highness, shall we still do it?"

"Suddenly there are so many more people, if you do it rashly, you will make a big mess, and it will cause panic among the people, and it will not end well!"

King Ling's face was gloomy, he didn't expect Han Daoyuan to come here and get so many people to escort him, making His Majesty and him fight against each other.

However, this is also good, presumably after all their troubles, His Majesty's last sympathy for him has disappeared!
He watched those people kneeling in front of Han Daoyuan and pleading bitterly. He didn't know what they were talking about. He was a little puzzled, and told the people around him: "Send someone over there to find out where these people come from, and they will tell you what?"

"General, we are all from Yangzhou. We are really forced to live. We left our hometown and came to Jiankang just to find a way to survive!"

Under Han Daoyuan's questioning, these people rushed to tell the story, "Relying on the power of King Ling, the wives and brothers of King Ling invaded the fields everywhere and turned them into his private fields, which not only caused us to lose our fields, but also arrested many Girl from a good family has caused many wives to be separated and their families to be destroyed. We really have no way out. King Ling is also the emperor's younger brother, and the adults in Yangzhou dare not control us. Come to the capital. We thought that even if we couldn't see the emperor and couldn't appeal for grievances, we would smash our heads to death on the gate of the Healthy City, and let the people of the world know our grievances!"

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect it, God finally opened my eyes. We just arrived in Ruyin two days ago, and we heard from the people in Ruyin that General Han passed through Ruyin and was about to enter the capital. The general is the most wise and powerful. , will definitely help us bring our grievances to heaven and help us seek justice!"

Those people were either indignant or pitifully complained about their grievances, and everyone could hear their expressions of compassion.

Only Han Daoyuan could hear the clues. Although the leaders of these people looked sallow and dressed in rags, they looked like people who had suffered a disaster, but when they spoke, they spoke carefully and clearly. They not only explained the matter clearly, but also successfully Aroused compassion in the hearts of all.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

Han Daoyuan's face became more and more dignified. Although there may not be Han Shidi's handwriting in it, but judging from the situation here, it is probably true that King Ling's wife and brother invaded the people's fields for private property and persecuted the people.

"Since you want to sue the wife and brother of His Highness the Mausoleum, do you have evidence?"

Seeing that Han Daoyuan's complexion was getting darker and darker but he didn't speak for a long time, Yu Yao asked anxiously.

"Where can we have evidence for this!" The sufferers looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly. Suddenly, someone responded and asked aloud, "Does our land deed and household registration certificate count as evidence?"

"That's right, we have the land deed and household registration certificate issued by the government before, but the steward of the wife's brother-in-law's house said that my field is blocking the watering of the land on his farm, and he can't help but throw a few coins and say he wants to buy my land. But those few acres of land are my family’s only food rations, and we don’t agree, but they said that the land in the government archives is no longer my family’s land.”

"Also. In order to rob my daughter for his cousin, the brother-in-law of King Naling actually changed my family's good status into a slave status. It's really deceiving!"

The scholars were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, and they begged Han Daoyuan angrily: "General, you are still Sikong of the imperial court, you have to take care of this matter!"

"That's right, if it weren't for King Ling's usual acquiescence and connivance, how could his wife, brother and relatives dare to act recklessly like this?"

Everyone looked at Han Daoyuan eagerly, waiting for him to make a decision.

Han Daoyuan took a deep breath, weighed the current situation, and finally made a decision, "Okay, I can bring you to meet His Majesty, but there are too many of you, I can choose ten people to replace you in Beijing, and I will let the others How about people properly placing you in the south of the city, and coming back to join you after these things come to fruition?"

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" Everyone kowtowed to thank each other after looking at each other.

The people sent by the King of Ling to investigate the news also came back, but their expressions were a little scared, and they replied cautiously, "Your Highness, those people seem to have come from Yangzhou, and they said they want to sue your wife and brother for occupying the people's fields and disregarding human lives. "

The soldier spoke halfway, but seeing King Ling's frightening expression, he didn't dare to continue.
