Chapter 700 The old minister of Nabeshima

After saying goodbye to the grateful young couple, Zhengliang and others came down at the entrance of the village to where the village usually leads people to discuss matters.

"Meet the lord!" More than 20 boy scouts have been waiting here to salute Zhengliang at the same time.

"Huh?" Zhengliang was stunned. Although Zhengliang asked his subordinates to reveal the identity of their people to the village entrance, he just told them that they were officials from the Interior Affairs Office and did not reveal their true identities at all. However, these boy scouts now clearly knew their true identities.

The retainers and guards around Zhengliang were immediately alert when they heard this, and they obviously realized the problem.

"This? Lord... Lord..." The village head that had been with Zhengliang at this time also felt inappropriate. He did not know Zhengliang's true identity before. Now he suddenly heard these boy scouts calling Zhengliang this way, and he really doubted Zhengliang's identity.

Masayoshi reached out to stop the village head's words, but instead stared at the scouts and asked, "How did you know my identity?"

"Please look at the lord." The child who was in charge of guarding outside the village took out a scroll directly from behind. This scroll was sent by the Inner Political Department Pavilion to the boy scouts in various villages. The painting inside was Zhengliang himself, so that these boy scouts could see the scroll during their daily study and training, and then know who their lord was and who they were fighting for.

Masara took the scroll in the child's hand and opened it and looked at it. When he looked at it, he was a little stunned. The picture inside was quite similar to the appearance after he disguised himself. No wonder these boy scouts recognized him so quickly. This is a coincidence, and it is also painted too much like the appearance of Masarara before disguised. It seems that the painter responsible for painting is not good at painting. There is also the Black Hawk who is responsible for disguising Masara. Damn, I really doubt whether the Black Hawk who disguised him was the painter. Thinking of this, Masara directly collected the scroll and handed it to Heiji Togo on the side.

The latter didn't know why Zhengliang handed him the scroll so quickly. After taking the scroll, he opened it and looked. After looking at it, he immediately knew why Zhengliang handed him the thing. He immediately blamed the internal affairs cabinet for what he had done. The painter he invited was too awesome, and he would definitely hold him accountable after he went back.

"Lord, please inspect our drill." The child who was originally responsible for the warning at the village head spoke again at this time.

"Oh? OK!" Masayoshi also shouted happily as he looked at the boy scouts with his chest raised.

From the eyes of these scouts, Zhengliang saw their admiration for themselves and their pursuit of status. In the Luo family, being a soldier is the easiest to improve their status and get rich. Even if they are unfortunately injured or killed in battle, their family members will receive considerable pensions and their status will be improved (the taxes required to be paid are much less). Therefore, being a soldier is the most popular profession in the Luo family territory. Moreover, in the Luo family, as long as people are prepared, the equipment and food are prepared by Daming (other wealthy families have to prepare themselves). They naturally flock to such a good job.

But since you can enjoy such good treatment, you will naturally be subject to severe constraints. Therefore, there are as many as hundreds of military regulations on the Luo family's military power, with detailed regulations from daily life to combat, and the punishment is also quite serious. For example, lifting the veil of a woman on the street to see what the woman looks like. Such actions will be punished. Although you will not be cut off your head, you will also be demoted to a slave and work hard in the slave camp. Moreover, the treatment of your family has been affected, at least from then on, you will lose the treatment you enjoyed when someone from the family was in the army (those you enjoyed before can be retained).

After obtaining Zhengliang's permission, the boy scouts immediately began to spontaneously arrange the array at Zhengliang, and then practiced the movements of the queues to the left to the right, step by step, etc. These are actions that emphasize discipline, with the purpose of training these children to train the military foundation and prepare for their future growth to become a regular preparation for the Luo family. At the same time, through such a subtle training method, they can consciously regard themselves as part of the Luo family and become the basis for the Luo family's rule.

"Lord!" After Zhengliang reviewed these scouts, the village head behind him immediately came to salute. From the conversation between Zhengliang and these scouts just now, the village head had confirmed that the person in front of him was Zhengliang, the Luo family, so he hurried over to apologize.

"Well, this time we are visiting privately. Don't make any noise." After Zhengliang accepted the salute from the village head, Zhengliang immediately reminded him.

"Yes. I will definitely make sure that the lord has been here today will not be promoted." The village head wiped a cold sweat from his forehead and nodded quickly. There is no way. As Masayoshi has been in a high position for a long time, the power naturally emitted from his body will make ordinary people feel uncomfortable.

"I heard that the lord here forcibly robbed the villagers of this village, is there any such thing?" After comforting the village head for a while, Zhengliang asked again. This was his main purpose for coming here today. Although he had already reported from his retainers, he still thought it would be better to confirm it personally.

"Yes, lord." The village head said immediately. He thought that these big names who were suddenly introduced by the head were officials from the Interior Affairs Office who came to deal with the local lord's attempt to rob a civilian woman, but he did not expect that the person who came was the largest boss in the Luo family's territory. This really surprised him a little.

"We will go through all the details." Zhengliang immediately ordered.

"Yes." Then the village head told the whole thing in detail.

"Well, I will immediately send someone to investigate the matter after I go back, especially to investigate the local Interior Cabinet officials who are responsible for handling the matter. If there are corruption and abuse of power, they will deprive all their official positions and be demoted to slaves. As a typical case, they will patrol all parts of the territory and finally enter the slave camp. They will not be allowed to leave the camp within ten years." When I learned that the village head was worried that the local lord would bring people to rob them again, I had already reported the matter to the local Interior Cabinet. However, until today, the Interior Cabinet has not sent anyone to deal with it. As a last resort, he had to send someone to the largest nearby town, to invite the head of the town to discuss the solution. However, he did not expect that the sent people finally invited Masara and others to the situation, Masara immediately ordered Hiroki Togo, who had not spoken aside.

Zhengliang was angry. Once the Internal Affairs Cabinet delayed the handling of this matter and the unlucky tyrant who was unfortunately encountered by Zhengliang succeeded again, it not only caused extremely bad influence in the local area and then triggered civil unrest, but also made the territorial people question the prestige of the territorial laws. This result was unacceptable to Zhengliang. Moreover, with the continuous development of the territory, some corruption and abuse of power gradually appeared. It seems that supervision of these territorial officials should be strengthened.

Everyone around could see that Masayoro was very annoyed. Heiji Togo on the side was also very annoyed because the internal affairs cabinet that had the accident happened in the country where he was directly under the jurisdiction of Hiraki. This made Heiji Togo feel very embarrassed and thought that after returning, he would severely punish the local internal affairs cabinet officials.

"You are not the village head that has returned from the Luo family's army?" After giving the order, Zhengliang asked again at the village head.

Zhengliang has two reasons for this judgment. First, if the village head in charge of the village where the matter is handled by the Luo family army, they will definitely directly arrest the rich clan who attempts to forcibly rob the civilian women and then send it directly to the Inner Government Pavilion, and ask the Inner Government Pavilion to severely punish the wealthy clan. Second, the village head is very organized and familiar with the methods of negotiating with the wealthy clan. Obviously, it is not from the military's village head (because the number of retired personnel in the military is limited, and not all retired soldiers are suitable for being the village head, so many village heads in the territory are elected by local lords).

"Lord Aijian, my subordinates originally settled in Narito village near Guoshima Town, Saga County." The village head was stunned at first when he heard this, and then immediately reported the truth.

"Zenfu Village near Korshima Town, Saga County? That's the one that was transferred here? Do you know Nakamo Shigean in that village?" Masayoro suddenly realized, then his eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
