Chapter 206 "The Attacking Xiliang People"

Ji Fushou's expression was gentle and his tone was flat, "I was wandering around the village today, and I accidentally met Xiao An at the end of the village slashing with a wooden knife. He asked my guard to teach him how to kill people with a knife. Later, I learned from this child. Li learned that his father had been killed by the defenders."

The old man put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, wiped his face, let out a breath, and showed a look of pain on his face, "Actually, this matter is not a secret, my son-in-law is not the first civilian killed by the defenders. "

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows, and straightened his expression, "Old man, you mean that the defenders not only killed Xiaoan's father, but also other civilians? Why did the defenders kill people?"

The old man's expression was dull, and there was a strong resentment and depression in his voice, "We are located in the frontier, and there are always small groups of Xiliang people attacking the border. But that group of defenders is a bunch of wimps. The cavalry came to the small village and walked around, and they came after the plundering was over.

Those Xiliang people almost regarded these small villages as their own private plots, and they came and left whenever they wanted.We are suffering. The men in the village want to organize a rebellion, but we only have hoes in our hands. What can we do?Those who dared to resist were killed by Xiliang people.

We had hoped that the defenders would protect us, but later we found out that these people are simply evil spirits, even more terrifying evil spirits than Xiliang people.Anyway, Xiliang people come, as long as they don't resist, they will leave after grabbing the things.The Xiliang people did not kill us, but were killed by their own people. "

Ji Fushou felt strange, and his brows formed a small wrinkle, "But the imperial court often reports good news about the suppression of a small group of Xiliang cavalry who came to attack from the frontier."

Yes, in the past few years, every year, we can receive good news from the frontier to the imperial court, saying that the defenders wiped out several groups of Xiliang people who attacked, and the Xiliang people could not get beyond the defense of the defenders. .

It was precisely because of this that when she guessed that Xiliang might attack the border, Sibo and even the Fourth Prince didn't believe it at first.

The defense of the defenders is so strict, and the Xiliang people can't get good from the defenders, how can the people of Xiliang dare to attack the border?
At the beginning, she guessed that the Xiliang people would violate the border, but she never thought that the defenders would lose Dingxiang City so quickly. In her guess, even if the Xiliang people really attacked, the defenders could rely on Dingxiang City to defend themselves. Resistance until the imperial court sent additional reinforcements, instead of the current situation, Dingxiang City fell directly into the hands of Xiliang people.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Ji Fushou's words, the old man suddenly laughed out loud, tears streaming down his face, and slapped his thigh fiercely, "Yes, of course there is good news, the defenders killed the Xiliang people Well, who escaped from Dingxiang City doesn't know that people from Xiliang look like people from Daqi?"

These words went through Ji Fushou's mind again, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her tone was tinged with shock, "Old man, you mean that the defenders killed the common people and used the heads of the common people as Xiliang The head of a person, is this the truth that every year there are good news from the frontier?"

Even Su and the others gasped and looked at the old man in shock.

You must know that the appearance of the Xiliang people is completely different from that of the Daqi people, and it is impossible to be mistaken. The old man just said that the Xiliang people killed by the defenders look like the Daqi people. Doesn’t it mean that the defenders killed the Daqi people?

Reminiscent of Xiaoan's father being beheaded by the defenders.
A cold light gradually appeared in Ji Fushou's eyes, and his voice subconsciously cooled down, "Could it be that Xiao'an's father is those so-called Xiliang people who committed crimes?"

The old man was trembling slightly, his laughter gradually disappeared, and he wiped his face with his hands, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the tears of grief, and replied with a choked voice:
"Master guessed it right. The defenders couldn't deal with the Xiliang people, so they thought of a way to make them look like they had meritorious service. As long as the small villages visited by Xiliang people every time, after the Xiliang people left, the defenders would When they arrive, they will chop off the heads of some males and use them as the heads of Xiliang people.

According to them, Xiliang people have never crossed the border, because Xiliang people dare not come because of their presence.Yes, Xiliang people dare not come hahahaha, look, this is retribution, Dingxiang City will not be guaranteed, this is all retribution! "

The old man's words were full of resentment towards the defenders and the court, but Ji Fushou couldn't blame him. If it was her, a good son-in-law would be beheaded by the defenders, and a good family would be broken up like this. Let her daughter become a widow, and her grandson lose her father, and she will also resent the defenders and the court.

Ji Fushou took a deep breath, his expression was ugly, and he asked in a calm voice: "The defenders killed the common people, and used the heads of the common people as the heads of Xiliang people, so no one of you will report to the officials?"

The old man wiped his tears fiercely, and said in a muffled voice, "I reported it, why didn't I report it, but the official word is two words, all those who reported to the official have been imprisoned, and they will be useless when they come out. Who would dare to report?" Go sue. Those who are alive will live on after all.”

Ji Fushou almost laughed angrily, and the anger in his heart grew stronger, "The local officials didn't care about it, and they worked hand in hand with the defenders. In this way, even the military officials who came to the frontier to review their military achievements should also be bribed."

Daqi's military merits need to be confirmed by the military record officer in charge of reviewing the military merits of the Ministry of War. After being correct, they will be reported to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will play Qi Chengdi and reward them on merit.

When the military secretary came to the frontier, he saw a leader who looked completely different from the people from Xiliang, but there was no news about it. Even good news was reported to the imperial court year after year. There is no doubt that the military secretary must be in the same boat.

The old man glanced at Ji Fushou in surprise. He didn't expect that she even knew about the military clerk, and then he said in a dark voice: "Several knowledgeable people told us that the Ministry of War will send people to the frontier to review military achievements. Let us Go and intercept the official who came from the capital, hoping that the official can uphold justice for us.

Later, someone went to intercept it, and the official said it well to his face, saying that he would thoroughly investigate this matter and uphold justice for us.We were full of hope that those executioners would pay for their lives. We waited and waited for a long time, but instead of waiting for justice, we waited for the defenders with big knives.

Those who went to stop the official at the beginning were all beheaded by the defenders, and became the "Xiliang people who attacked".Since then, we have never dared to seek justice for those innocent people who died in vain.We can only pray that Xiliang people will not patronize our village, otherwise the young people in our village will have to be added to the dead. "

The old man's words left Ji Fushou, Su and the others silent. There was anger in their hearts, but they didn't know how to vent it, and they deeply felt the despair and helplessness in the old man.

Living in the land of Daqi, he didn't die at the hands of Xiliang people, but he died at the hands of those black-hearted people, and he couldn't complain about his suffering.
