Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"My lord, please forgive me, the little old man did not offend you..."

Knowing that the old man regarded them as bandits, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and stepped forward to help the old man:

"Don't be afraid, old people, we are not bad people, we just want to inquire about something."

The old man looked at Zhu Youjian, looked at Qinglong and the others, and then at those people on the ground, and then said cautiously after a while:

"Who are you... all of them? Just ask if you have anything to say, I will tell you everything the little old man knows, please don't hurt the little old man, there is a granddaughter in my family who has not been adopted."

Zhu Youjian patted the old man on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Master, do you think we look like bad guys?"

The old man nodded, then shook his head again.

To be honest, in this troubled world, among officials and gangsters, he couldn't tell who was good from who was bad. Even though he saw bad people being killed, he still didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Seeing that the old man dared not speak, Zhu Youjian was not impatient. He guessed that the old man didn't trust anyone now, whether it was the government or bandits.Mobile terminal../

"Master, to tell you the truth, we are imperial envoys sent by the imperial court to investigate corrupt officials and oppress the people. You must tell the truth, otherwise the imperial court will have no way to decide for you ordinary people..."

After Zhu Youjian's painstaking comfort, the old man finally said:

"Are you really imperial envoys sent by the imperial court? Can you beat the officials from the emperor's hometown? If not, please don't ask again, lest everyone will be implicated."

The old man's words made Zhu Youjian's heart sink. He knew that the officials and guards in Zhongdu were very corrupt, but from what the old man said, the degree of corruption here seemed to be far beyond his imagination.

Zhu Youjian said decisively:

"Yes, we will definitely defeat them. Don't worry, old man, they will soon be punished, and the court will definitely return the common people to a bright future."

"Really? Then the little old man told the truth..."

The old man seemed moved by Zhu Youjian's tone, and finally told Zhu Youjian everything he knew.

The place where they are now is still under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture, but it borders Liu'an Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Fengyang, the central capital.

The gang that robbed just now was composed of the remnants of Lu'an Prefecture's rogues and some soldiers from the guards. They occupied the fields and harassed the border people all the year round.

Don't look at these fields in Henan, but they are all occupied by them. The people on the border are all tenants who work for them, and the county government of Henan Province dare not manage them at all.

Everyone knows that the rogues on the mountain belonged to the private soldiers of the Fengyang Guards, and the land they occupied was actually to increase the income of the officers of the Guards.

"Fuck, it's so rampant, no wonder the land reform can't be implemented in Zhongdu, it seems that Zhongdu can be cancelled."

After hearing what the old man said, Zhu Youjian couldn't help being furious. He went up to grab a robber himself, and slapped him awake twice in a row.

"Say, who are you?"

Although the robber just woke up, his mouth was very firm:

"I... we are all ordinary people..."

"Crack..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youjian twisted his neck. At this time, the other person beside him trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was pretending to be dizzy. He was frightened by Zhu Youjian just now.

Zhu Youjian raised his foot and stepped between his legs:

"Boom..."

There was a soft explosion sound, and the boy suddenly screamed like a pig:

"Oh, it hurts me to death, I said... We are the guards of the Central Capital, you will regret it if you do this..."

"Crack..."

When he was about to die, he dared to threaten Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian punched his head hard.

The old man witnessed Zhu Youjian killing two people in succession with his own eyes. At that time, his face was pale and limp on the ground. He was worried that he would retaliate against Tucun, and those guard soldiers were more fierce than bandits.

Of course Zhu Youjian was not worried about revenge, and waved to Qinglong:

"Qinglong, none of these people will stay."

"obey"

Qinglong immediately brought a basin of water from the carriage to wake up all these people.

Under their horrified eyes, in front of their companions, one by one, they chopped off their heads.

Chapter 247 The Emperor

Although the old man hated these soldiers and bandits, he was just an ordinary citizen after all.

Seeing the heads being chopped off one by one, he was already limp on the ground, and kept muttering:

"They will take revenge, they will take revenge, massacre the village, definitely massacre the village..."

Seeing that the old man suddenly seemed crazy, Zhu Youjian squatted beside the old man and comforted him:

"Master, don't worry, they don't dare to kill people and massacre the village. As imperial envoys, we will handle this matter well. Take us to the village to have a look!"

The old man was taken aback:

"What are you going to do in the village? The village is very poor and has nothing, and all the young people have fled, leaving only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, and reached out to help the old man:

"Let's go, take us to have a look."

The old man had no choice but to get up and take everyone back to the village. The journey is not very far, just pass through a forest.

There are not many families in the village, about twenty households, all of which are crooked mud houses.

Seeing a group of strangers entering the village, several children immediately surrounded them. They were thin and thin, and they were still wearing thin clothes. They looked at Zhu Youjian and others curiously.

These are the people of Daming. Seeing their appearance, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel a little sad. It seems that there is a long way to go for Daming to make the country prosperous and the people strong.

"Grandpa, haven't you been allocated any land?"

"Hey, what's the difference between being allocated and not being allocated? They have been taken over by those people, and now the whole village is working for them, barely surviving without being starved to death."

After the old man finished speaking, Zhu Youjian nodded, and immediately called Qinglong:

"Qinglong, hurry up and go to Lu'an Prefecture, and tell them clearly that in the future, guards and bandits from Lu'an Prefecture will enter Guangzhou to commit crimes, and let all the officials and generals in Lu'an Prefecture go home to farm. The serious ones will be wiped out. Three clans, you don't have to hurry back, we will meet at Li Dakai's garrison in Fengyang."
