After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 44 Three Months and Three Years
Among the refugees, a few looked relaxed.

Who would want to be a bandit if they were not desperate?
Hu Xubiao frowned when he saw those people hesitatingly looking at the grain under the reef.

"Heh, if the imperial court can manage it, we won't be forced to flee from Jizhou to become bandits here! Jizhou started to rain one month ago, the crops were flooded, and many people died, but we have never seen the imperial court. People come to the rescue!"

Hu Xubiao's scimitar was close to Wei Xingzhi's neck, and he threatened Wei Xingzhi fiercely with his teeth bared, "I used to be an official, so I don't know the twists and turns in your belly."

He shouted loudly, deliberately letting the refugees around him hear, "These imperial envoys are only willing to go to Jizhou for the oil and water here. Do you think that all the disaster relief money given by the imperial court has been used on you?"

"These imperial envoys and local officials don't even know how much corruption they have secretly committed! Officials protect each other, and we are the only ones suffering."

These words passed through the valley and fell into the ears of everyone present.

Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, yo, it's quite inspiring.

From another perspective, this Hu Xubiao is really a talent.

Hearing these words, the hesitant refugees thought about those inaction officials in Jizhou, and hatred appeared on their simple and honest faces.

Tightening the crossbow in his hand, the atmosphere became tense again.

Commander Wu held his saber, looked at the rows of bows and crossbows, and recalled what Uncle He had told him when he came here.

Heartbroken, he yelled, "Dare to kidnap the imperial envoy, kill Wu——!"

"Uh, uh-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Han took a rag and stuffed it in his mouth.

"I have already seen that you want to do something bad." Zhou Han slashed him on the back of the neck with a knife, and threw him aside.

After gesturing to Wei Xingzhi, he turned to look at the soldiers holding their spears high.

"Your Majesty has an order not to harm the people. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law."

He has always been used to hanging out with Wei Xingzhi, and he usually smiles like a cunning.

This suddenly became serious, and the hostility that had been scrambling on the battlefield since childhood suddenly radiated.

Wan Rongxuan, who was always fearless, pursed his lips in fright, and took two steps back.

Wei Xingzhi pursed his lips lightly, playing with the jade pendant Wan Qiqian gave her, "The Wei family in Danyang has been loyal for generations, and will never have corrupt officials. Jizhou is difficult, and His Majesty is worried. You know..."

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son. If the courtiers did not stop him this time, His Majesty would come to Jizhou in person."

"The news of the flood in Jizhou was reported to the court five days ago. His Majesty was furious and sent me to investigate the officials of Jizhou and help the people of Jizhou. If you don't believe me, you can go to Jizhou with me. If I have a little selfishness, This officer will compensate you for this life."

Wei Xingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Hu Xubiao meaningfully, "As for you."

The corners of her lips were slightly bent, her eyes were sinister, "Instigating refugees, hijacking relief money and food, is an unforgivable crime."

Hu Xubiao met those sultry eyes, and pushed forward with the scimitar in his hand.

Wei Xingzhi leaned back and kicked over. The whole movement was smooth and smooth.

"Zhou Han, tie him up for me. I remember that the reward offered by the court is also 200 taels of silver."

Hu Xubiao pretended to be invincible, and hid back, but retreated as an advance, clenched the scimitar in his hand, and hit Wei Xingzhi with lightning speed.

Wei Xingzhi's expression turned cold, and the long sword collided with the scimitar.

The sword was strung together with a scimitar, pointing directly at Hu Xubiao's throat, "Be more honest, and you will suffer less."

Wei Xingzhi held a sword in one hand and a back in the other, hunting in red.

"Everyone, if you really hurt the elite soldiers for disaster relief today, you will really become rogues, bandits. You will be named this for the rest of your life. Your sons and grandsons have never taken part in the scientific examination, and have no chance to succeed. They will be the same as you for the rest of your life .”

Hearing this, an old man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Even if we don't become bandits, we don't have the opportunity to take the scientific examination. People are only worthy of living in the bottom layer for a lifetime."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, and tears rolled down his wrinkled face.

Wei Xingzhi frowned, "Your Majesty has decreed that all the children of officials and eunuchs from aristocratic families will participate in the scientific examination together with the people, and there must be no fraud."

"So what?" The old man, wearing a washed-white Confucian robe with several puddings on it, suddenly raised his head and stared at Wei Xingzhi, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Those officials and officials protect each other. We have no future at all."

When he was young, he won provincial yuan, and it was the kindness of the whole township to send him to school.

But even so, he has no financial background, even if he has the county magistrate to help him, he is still soft-spoken, and he is not comparable to those high-ranking officials.

There was a son of a Taiwei family who forcibly took his place, and his name became Provincial Yuan...

And he returned to his hometown in despair, too ashamed to face the disappointed and mocking eyes of the villagers.

"So what if you have the heart to rule the world, what if you are talented in writing, and full of knowledge? It's not like being robbed of everything..." The old man smiled bitterly.

He wanted to be a teacher in Chuan County, Jizhou, but a flood caused floods and washed away his son, wife, and all his property.

He has nothing.

There are many people around who know the old man, and they are all neighbors in the neighborhood, so there is no one who doesn't know.

A middle-aged woman cried, "In this world, there is no way for us poor people to survive! Even when there was a flood, the officials in Jizhou packed up their things and ran away..."

"Who doesn't want to go home, but we don't even have a home! Who wants to take their children home? Our township is low-lying, and it's full of water now. How can we go back..."

"My man supported us in the water in order to let us go, and he even lost his life..."

Wei Xingzhi looked silent.

It cleared up for several days, and then it rained lightly.

Those icy rainwater hitting them can make them extremely frightened, for fear that everything they have encountered before will have to go through it again.

Suddenly, Wei Xingzhi thrust the long sword into the ground, and the rain dripped down her forehead to her chin.

"Three months." She said, "In three months, I can restore Jizhou to its original state."

Everyone looked shocked, and they couldn't believe it. As long as the water in Jizhou was flooded for a year or so, it would not be slowed down at all.

Qin Changbai in the carriage clenched his hands, lifted the curtain and stood out, looking solemnly at Wei Xingzhi who was standing on the rock.

Wei Xingzhi said again, "Three years."

"I want Nan Xiao to have no corrupt officials and traitors, no wars everywhere, and I want to give you a fairness."

Qin Changbai's breathing was stagnant. Since ancient times, corrupt officials cannot be eradicated, and there has been no Chang'an in the world since ancient times.

How dare she?
Nan Xiao is empty now, not to mention corrupt officials and traitors, but Xishu soldiers are strong and strong, if you choose any country to form an alliance to attack Nan Xiao...

Nan Xiao can easily be scraped off.

How...how did she have the confidence to say such a thing?
