Datang romantic little landlord

Li Wangyou and Su Changqing also looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't understand that this was a good thing, how could there be such a disturbance in Jiulong County?

Listening to the movement outside, it seems that the whole city is in a commotion.

After waiting in the room for a while, but Niu Wu didn't come back, Li Wangyou couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Zhang Xuan, Henry Zhang, go and see why Niu Erlang hasn't come back yet?"

Before the two brothers of the Zhang family could speak, they saw Niu Wu running back in a hurry, without even caring about etiquette, and directly opened the door.

"Lang Jun, hurry up! Something happened!"

"What happened? Are you so flustered?" Li Wangyou hurriedly got up and asked.

Niu Wu swallowed his saliva: "The Liao people are messing up again, and the Ming government in Jiulong County has ordered people to close the city gate. Let's go now, use your goldfish amulet to open the city gate, and go to Chengdu County! Our horses are fast, and the Liao people cannot catch up with us."

"what?"

When Li Wangyou heard this, his head buzzed and he felt a little dizzy.

He never expected that instead of going to Songzhou to join in the fun, he led Su Changqing and the three of them into a dangerous place.

It is not a trivial matter for bureaucrats to cause chaos.

The Liaoren were a minority ethnic group distributed in Southwest China during the Han and Tang Dynasties.In Shu County, there are more than [-] households in Brazil, Guanghan, Zizhong and other places.

The living conditions of these Liao people are very primitive, and they are still in the stage of slash-and-burn farming.The Liaoren refused to accept the control of the royal power in the Central Plains, so they repeatedly clashed with the Han people.

Most of the bureaucrats in Jiannan lived in Bazhou, Meizhou, Yizhou and other areas where there were many Han people.

Datang gave these bureaucrats preferential treatment.

"Tang Huiyao" records, "The households of barbarians are all subject to half the tax. If floods, droughts and insect damage are disasters, rent will be exempted for ten losses, four will be exempted from rent, six losses will be exempted from adjustment, and seven losses will be exempted from taxation."

It means that the Liao people only pay half of the taxes paid by the Han people.If there is a disaster, the rent will be exempted.

But even so, due to cultural differences and different living customs, and Tang people also had a lot of contempt for the Liao people, conflicts between the Liao people and the Tang people broke out for a long time.

Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, when Bazhou, Meizhou, Hongzhou, and Yazhou were set up in the distribution area of ​​the bureaucrats in Jiannan, some bureaucrats often rose up to resist.

Li Wangyou never imagined that when he, Su Changqing and the others came to see a peony flower, they would encounter such a thing as a bureaucrat making trouble.

Even the Ming Mansion in Jiulong County ordered the city gates to be sealed off. It can be seen that this time the bureaucrats are menacing and must not be underestimated.

If he was the only one, Li Wangyou would not be very worried.

After all, Niu Wu and the Zhang brothers were guarding him, and Jiulong County was not far from Chengdu County. Even if the city was besieged by the Liao people, he did not believe that the Liao people would quickly break through the city walls of the county and kill them. Come to town.

But with Su Changqing and the other three daughters by his side, Li Wangyou didn't want to take such a risk.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if something unexpected happens, although Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers are brave, they may not be able to protect everyone's security.

Therefore, it is the most correct way for a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall, and follow Niu Wu's suggestion to leave the city immediately and flee to Chengdu County.

"Niu Wu, what's the specific situation? Have those Liao people killed outside the city?"

"I don't know, but presumably Jiulong County has not been surrounded yet, and I haven't heard any movement outside the city."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave the city immediately and go to Chengdu County!"

Li Wangyou hurriedly called Su Changqing, Afula, and Pei Lan to leave.

The few people were guarded by Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers. They didn't even have time to pack their packages, so they hurried to the stables of the hostel, took out the horses and rode them towards the south gate of Jiulong County.

Jiulong County is not big, and the crowd quickly rushed to the vicinity of the South Gate, but they were blocked on the street by a raging crowd.

The news of the Liao people's rebellion had already spread throughout the city. Not only the people of Jiulong County wanted to escape from the city, but also the scholars and ladies who came to see the peonies.

As a result, the not-so-broad streets were crowded with people who wanted to escape from the city.

But at this time, the city gate of Jiulong County had already been closed, no matter how the people were crying and making noise, the soldiers guarding the city did not open the city gate at all to let the people go.

In fact, Li Wangyou knew very well that under such circumstances, the city gate would not be opened no matter what.

Who knows if there is an ambush outside the city?

If the city gate was opened and the Liao people took the opportunity to kill in, it would be a bloody disaster.

Originally, Li Wangyou wanted to show his goldfish talisman and force the soldiers to open the city gate, but seeing this situation, he slowly shook his head and dismissed the idea.

Now that the sky is dark, if he forces his soldiers to open the city gate, not to mention whether there will be any danger, the people who are eager to escape from the city will rush out in a swarm.

With so many people crazily crowded, Li Wangyou couldn't even imagine what would happen.

He was about to greet Su Changqing and the others, and when he returned to the hotel first to make plans, he heard a man in Chinese clothes making a noise at the city gate.

"See clearly, this is my goldfish talisman! I am the Sima of the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou! Now, please open the city gate for me. I have something important to do, so I need to rush back to the Governor's Mansion immediately!"

"This..." The soldiers guarding the city confirmed that the goldfish talisman in the man's hand was genuine, but they did not dare to obey his orders: "Return to Sima, if there is no order from the Ming Palace, I will not dare to open the city gate."

"Then go and summon the county magistrate of Jiulong County quickly! Go!"

The soldiers looked at each other in embarrassment. In the end, Huo Chang, the leader, did not dare to delay the identity of the man, so he could only immediately call a soldier and ask him to find the magistrate of Jiulong County...

882 No Old, Only Enmity!

Li Wangyou saw that Sima, the governor of Yizhou, was so arrogant, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Sima of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in charge of military administration and military taxation, and is from the fourth rank.

Although these government soldiers stationed in Jiulong County were not under his control, they did not dare to offend him.

As for the Ming Mansion in Jiulong County, it was just a county magistrate from the seventh rank. If he forced the county magistrate to open the city gate, Li Wangyou really didn't think that the Ming Mansion could withstand such pressure.

Seeing this situation, Li Wangyou, who was about to turn his horse around and go back to the hostel, reined in his horse and planned to wait and see.

If Sima, the governor of Yizhou, regardless of the life and death of the people, insisted on forcing the magistrate of Jiulong County to open the city gate, then Li Wangyou would have to reveal his identity and beat this ignorant Sima.

Not long after, the magistrate of Jiulong County hurried to the city gate after being notified.

"I have seen Sima."

"You are the county magistrate of Jiulong County? That's good. Quickly order someone to open the city gate. I have something important to do. I want to go back to Chengdu County. Don't waste my time!"

Sima looked impatient and signaled the county magistrate to open the city gate.

"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, bowed to Sima, and continued: "Sima, it's getting late today, and there are people making trouble outside. If you open the gate rashly, if you are caught The sneak attack by the Liao people is a great disaster, and as the county magistrate of Jiulong County, I can't bear this responsibility, so I ask Sima to forgive me."

The county magistrate's words did not impress Sima at all, instead he looked impatient.
