Pingkangfang.

Qin Lang plays chess with Ma Zhou.

"Now many people report to impeach you." Ma Zhou left a son and spoke to remind Qin Lang.

"I know."

“Is it worth it?”

"If you want to do things, you have to offend people, there is no way." Qin Lang sighed. He didn't know how many people he would blame for such radical actions, but if you want to do things, you can only offend people unless he doesn't do things. But at this critical moment, can Qin Lang refuse to do things in the emperor?

This is not just a matter of official positions and power, but also a matter of life and death among countless people.

Qin Lang has always admired the Confucian scholars and scholars such as Wei Zheng. Although they are sometimes too idealistic and too simple, their original intention is good.

"I really can't sit still and watch. I clearly understand that if I don't care, I can't stand it."

"But you have offended countless people now."

"What if he doesn't matter. After passing this level, I can resign and I can take a break."

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "Do you know how Your Majesty evaluates the chapters and says about you?"

"Don't say, if this is spread, it will be a serious crime." Qin Lang reminded Ma Zhou that the emperor's words cannot be spread randomly, otherwise it would be a leak of the forbidden Chinese language and a death sentence.

"Your Majesty said you can tell you that Your Majesty said that you will definitely offend people when doing things. If you don't offend people, you are actually mediocre people, you are a gourd official. Your Majesty said that you will support you with all your might and you will fight this battle well now, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

"I would like to ask Brother Ma, tell Your Majesty that since I, Qin Lang, have taken on this job, I will do it well, not only to be right in your Majesty, but also to be right in the people."

Retrieving grain from wealthy households is part of the disaster relief. Wei Chang and Ah Huang also reminded Qin Lang before that there is no need to offend the entire Chang'an for the sake of official business.

But in the end, Qin Lang decided to collect the grain.

Because the food shortage is too big and these people have too much food in their hands, he knows that under normal circumstances, even if the disaster is serious, these nobles and wealthy families will at most take out some of the food to serve porridge. Even when the disaster is over, there will still be a lot of hoarded food in their mansion.

They don’t think about saving or overcoming disasters together.

Every time one extra bag of food is collected, one may have to live a family. Qin Lang is not a saint, but in this situation, if he can do it but does not do it, it means that those who could survive but starve to death are actually killed because of him.

Even in later generations, Qin Lang people were slight, but whenever a major disaster occurred in the country, he would do his best to donate money or pray for the disaster area. This is also the great benevolence and love of the Chinese people for thousands of years. It is precisely this kind of rescue in all directions when one side is in trouble. This kind of kindness and love has allowed us, a nation with many disasters, to finally go through five thousand years and always stand tall among the nations of the world.

It’s like no matter how bad the relationship with the neighbor is, once a fire occurs, everyone will still go to rescue without hesitation. Even if they are usually a feud with the neighbor, if they encounter a neighbor’s child falling into the pond, they will jump down and catch it without hesitation.

Human hearts are inherently good.

"Sanlang!"

Silver-faced Wei Tuo and Qin Yong rushed in.

"We have encountered a tough guy. The Duke of Hanyang County injured all the people who went to his house to collect grain. Now, not only have we beaten us, but also put them in his house."

"Who is this Hanyang County Duke?" Qin Lang asked. He didn't expect who this county Duke was for a moment. After all, in addition to those who were actually granted titles, most of the other titles were the Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin ascended the throne last time, he directly awarded all the officials with the fifth rank and above without titles, and all of them were awarded the first-class title.

This is how Wei Zheng's baron came.

Ma Zhou said next to him, "Li Gui, Duke of Hanyang County, and Li Xiaogong, the younger brother of Hejian County, was originally the Prince of Hanyang County. Last time he changed his title to the royal family. Although he did not preserve the prince due to military achievements, he was still demoted to the prince. He served as Weiweiqing, and later went to Jingzhou to replace Xiaogong as the governor. Not long ago, because he beat his subordinate Jingzhou Chief Shi, he was seized by His Majesty and recalled to the capital to reflect on his position."

When it comes to Li Gui, Qin Lang is really unimpressed, but if it comes to Li Xiaogong's brothers, Qin Lang will definitely be impressed.

Li Xiaogong is a famous royal family, so his brothers naturally have a good status. However, because Xiaogong's achievements were too high when he founded the country, he was suppressed by Li Yuan in the later period of Wude. In the battle between Li Shimin and Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong was actually neutral on the surface, but secretly favored Jiancheng.

After all, since he did not fully support Li Shimin, he would definitely be more willing to see Jiancheng become the emperor.

For these reasons, after Li Xiaogong took power, his status became more and more awkward. Prince Zhao was renamed King of Hejian, and he had almost no real power.

His brother Li Gui beat the chief secretary because this chief secretary was sent by Li Shimin, who was obviously going to take over Jingzhou. After the chief secretary took office, he looked for Li Gui everywhere. This made Li Gui burst into trouble and beat the chief secretary directly and threw away his governor.

The Pacification Department found that there were a lot of grain stored in Li Gui's mansion. This was originally a royal prince, with a mansion and a mansion. There were many slaves in the mansion. It was said that there were thousands of slaves, and they were usually very luxurious. They were a luxurious figure and had always stored a lot of grain in the mansion.

The Fufu Department went to collect grain on a routine basis, but this time he encountered Li Gui's bad temper. He was dissatisfied with the two brothers being deposed before, so now he took the opportunity to beat the soldiers of the Fufu Department to vent his anger.

After the fight, he took down the person and asked Qin Lang to go over and apologize before he let him go.

"How many people have passed by? Why are they beaten and not detained?"

"A dozen people went there, but I didn't expect that the Duke of Hanyang County was so fierce."

Qin Lang threw the chess piece and said to Ma Zhou, "Sorry, Lao Ma, I have to deal with this matter."

"What is Sanlang going to do?" Ma Zhou asked.

Qin Lang smiled and said, "What else can I do? Since others have already made a move, no matter what, I can only draw my sword to meet the enemy."

"I don't like to take the initiative to find trouble, but I'm never afraid of trouble."

"Sanlang, don't mess around. Li Gui is a royal family and is also a brother of Xiaogong."

"So what? I'm afraid of a bird. At this moment, disaster relief is the first priority. If I let Li Gui be arrogant today, then all my efforts will be wasted. Who will listen to the orders of the Pacification Department in the future?"

"Qin Yong!"

"At." Wei Tuo, the silver-faced face, felt the murderous intent under Qin Lang's smile, and couldn't help but feel energetic.

"Go and invite General Wu Heita. I want to transfer eight hundred cavalrymen to let him transfer people to obey orders immediately."

Qin Yong laughed, "Get order!" He turned around and left.

Ma Zhou owed Qin Lang, "Why do I go and report to Your Majesty now and ask Your Majesty to surrender the order to let Li Gui hand over the grain and release him?"

"I have tens of thousands of people under my command, but I still ask for His Majesty's will everywhere. What else does His Majesty want me to do and what does the sancang do? Even a little Li Gui can't handle it, so I don't have to be the sancang envoy."

Qin Lang had long expected that there would definitely be a bird that would stand out by roaring horses, but he didn't expect that this bird would be Li Gui.

Qin Lang directly changed into the armor given by the emperor, picked up the horse spear, inserted two golden maces on his back, and left the yamen with murderous aura.

On the left is the Black Cloud Long Sword Team, and on the right is the Silver Gun Suburb Festival Team.

With these two personal troops alone, Qin Lang had the confidence to beat Li Gui to call him father, but he was not going to fight, but to kill chickens, so naturally the bigger the situation, the better.

I waited for a while in front of the yamen.

The Duke of Xinxiang County and the General of the Central Guard of the Fushi Department, Wu Heita, ordered 800 cavalrymen to arrive in full armed manner.

"Sanlang, who doesn't open his eyes?"

Qin Lang smiled and said to the person, "Li Gui, Duke of Hanyang County, beat up the soldiers of my tutoring department and detain them. Do you dare to follow me to ask for someone?"

"Li Xiaogong's younger brother?"

"What, don't you dare?"

"I'm afraid he will dare to beat my brother in the tutoring department." Old Wu's fist thumped on the Mingguang armor.

Qin Lang is very satisfied.

"Walk!"

Under the escort of one hundred personal troops, Qin Lang led 800 patrol cavalry to directly attack Li Gui's mansion.

In broad daylight, thousands of fully armed soldiers were galloping on the street, with their iron hooves rumbling, and they were still very powerful. This big move attracted everyone on the street to look at each other.

When the soldiers of the left and right guards of the imperial city heard the news, they quickly blocked the street in front of the imperial city and strengthened the guards of the imperial city gate.

Soon everyone knew that Qin Lang personally took the genius cavalry out.

There was another well-informed person who knew that the Hanyang County Duke had attacked the people who came to collect grain from the Pacification Department.

"There's a good show now."

After hearing this, Zheng Xuanli hurried to Zheng Shanguo's mansion.

"Sir, there's a good show! Li Gui beat Qin Lang's people, and now Qin Lang has taken thousands of cavalry to kill him."

Zheng Shanguo held the Zuo Zhuan, and after hearing this, he just stroked his beard and said, "The show has just begun."

Although Chang'an City is large, it will be quickly reached in front of Li Gui's mansion by riding a horse.

A shout.

The iron cavalry surrounded the palace.

"Please come out of Hanyang County!"

Qin Lang rode on the horse and called in order.

The mansion is closed.

Behind the courtyard wall, someone vaguely looked up with a bow.

It looks like he is resisting to the end.

Qin Lang had a cold face, "If you hit the door, you dare to resist with weapons, behead you!"

Wu Guang and other generals just hesitated for a moment, and then led people off and stepped forward in person.

They rushed forward with a shield. Someone shot arrows in the yard, but there were too few arrows and they did not hurt anyone, or they did not want to hurt others, but just wanted to scare them away.

But Wu Guang personally led the way forward with one hand.

These people were once elite soldiers of a hundred battles. They were originally leopard cavalry affiliated to the guards. They would be fully equipped to fight a house guarded by servants. It would be really a killer to kill chickens.

One thousand men and horses attacked in all directions.

But in a moment, he had already entered the yard.

Wu Guang and others still left room for anything. For those guys who resisted with weapons, they just smashed the sword and shield and tied it up, and did not really start killing.

Soon, Li Gui brought the servants to welcome him in armor and holding a bow and arrow.

Qin Lang rode into the mansion and came to Li Gui.

"Li Gui, do you want to rebel?"

Li Gui is a fat guy, compared with his brother Li Xiaogong's burly. At this time, he was full of alcohol and was angry at Qin Lang who was breaking in, and raised his bow and shot.

An arrow shot, and Qin Lang swept away the spear.

"court death!"

Qin Lang stepped forward and smashed it with a spear. The drunk Li Gui couldn't dodge it and was directly knocked to the ground by Qin Lang's spearhead, and half of his face became swollen.
Chapter completed!
