Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The village to the north was already empty.

Li Yi'an looked at the surrounding environment, it looked very desolate, even the things in the house were looted, the valuable things were taken away, and the worthless things were scattered and floating on the water.

The people who were following him to catch the corvee felt guilty, and they all felt terrified, because they were the ones who caused this scene.

As for the people from that village just now, they carefully followed around and watched them.

"Are you catching corvees, or bandits entering the village to loot?"

Li Yi'an looked at the messy scene in the village, and then looked back at the leader.

"Shangguan, these... I don't know why this happened. It should be that the people below can't control their hands. I will punish them severely when I go back!"

The leader said in fear.

Although he didn't know who Li Yi'an was, but with this momentum, he was surrounded by a group of people wearing Mo Dao and full of iron and blood. His identity was definitely not simple. He didn't dare to offend or be convicted by them.

Li Yi'an didn't speak, but his cold gaze swept across them, making them tremble uncontrollably in fright.

"Sir, come here and have a look!"

Li Dejian hurried over and pointed in one of the directions.

There is a small bamboo forest over there. Although it is in a relatively high place, most of it is also flooded.

When Li Yi'an came here, he found a corpse lying here. It was the corpse of a three or four-year-old girl. It had already soaked and turned white. The corpse had just started to smell. Some aquatic insects smelled the smell and climbed onto the pale skin. Start nibbling.

"Sir, he should have died last night."

Cheng Chumo said: "I guess the adults here were forcibly taken away, and she had to stay when she was too young. There was no food, there was flooding, and it was still raining outside. That's it, alas!"

If they could have come yesterday, the little girl might not have died, but unfortunately there is no if.

"No wonder I seemed to hear yesterday that there were still intermittent crying in the rain. It turns out that I heard correctly."

"I heard it too, because floods often drown people. I thought it was haunted, so I didn't dare to go out."

"What a poor girl!"

When the few villagers outside met, they talked a lot, and their expressions were full of helplessness.

If it weren't for Li Yi'an's presence today, the fate of their village would probably be similar to this.

Li Yi'an took off his coir raincoat, lightly covered the little girl's body, and said, "Two people, take them down for burial."

Immediately afterwards, his gaze fell on the leader again, and he said, "Is this all caused by you?"

The man in the lead could feel the killing intent, his back felt cold, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, the stagnant water was soaking into his heart, and he said quickly: "Shangguan calm down, I don't know what happened, don't you?" know why it happens."

He has a little impression of this little girl, he took her mother away with his own hands, and then met Li Yi'an's eyes, his body trembled with fear, how could he dare to tell the truth.

The little girl is about the same age as Wanshun, and she should be living happily, but she has become like this.

It hurts just to look at it.

"What do you say should be done?"

Li Yian asked.

"me……"

The man faltered and couldn't say anything.

"Then pay for it!"

Swish!

A knife light flashed.

The man covered his neck with his hands, but he couldn't cover the blood splattered out, and finally fell straight on the ground.

The bright red color of blood seemed to be the only bright color in this dark world.

This sudden cut scared everyone except Cheng Chumo and them.

"Killed!"

The villagers yelled.

Those people in the Governor's Mansion panicked at the same time, they took up their weapons and were about to strike.

"Kill them all!"

After Li Yi'an finished speaking, he turned and left. After a while, screams came from behind him.

"Fang Cheng!"

Li Yian said again.

"Sir, please order!"

Fang Cheng was also taken aback by Li Yi'an, it was the first time he saw Mr. in this state after following him for so long.

"Find someone to count the people affected by the disaster, and take out the surplus food in our shops and give them relief as much as possible."

Li Yi'an felt that since Liu Tongfang could disregard the lives of these common people, then the disaster relief must not be in place.

The grain in the granary in Hangzhou may fall into the pockets of those aristocratic families, and ordinary people will get nothing.

He felt very guilty, this time his calculation was wrong, he shouldn't have let Liu Tongfang make trouble, leading to this result.

"Yes!"

Fang Cheng immediately took people down to make arrangements.

As for the villagers who came after seeing this, they were stunned when they heard these words, and finally felt that Li Yi'an was a good person.

"Go to the Governor's Mansion!"

Li Yian said again.

After returning to the city, Li Yi'an changed into a coir raincoat and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Yi'an heard bursts of laughter coming from inside, and his blood pressure soared, but he endured it and strode in, no one dared to stop him.

"Li Zhan, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhide saw Li Yi'an first, and even though his leg was not healed, he limped out and hurriedly said, "It's raining so heavily, why doesn't Li Zhan take a carriage? Come in and drink some warm wine to warm your stomach." .”

Liu Tongfang also ran out, and said with a smile, "Li Zhan, what's your order?"

In addition to Liu Tongfang, Zhao Zhide and others, there are also a group of heads of other aristocratic families in Hangzhou, eating and drinking together, very lively and cheerful.

Li Yi'an walked up to them, picked up a small bottle of wine and said, "You guys are so elegant, it's raining heavily outside, and the common people are struggling to fight the flood, Liu Shijun, you, as officials of the court, don't even care about ordinary people? I remember I told you to To fight the flood, do you just sit here and fight? I have already walked outside the city just now, has Mr. Liu ever left the city?"

Liu Tongfang finally understood that Li Yi'an was here to pursue responsibility.

But he has never been out of the city. For things like flood fighting, where he needs to be present in person, it is enough to order the people below to do it.

"As for Li Zhan, even if Liu Shijun has never been outside the city, he has done a very good job in fighting the flood."

A member of an aristocratic family stood up and said, "All of our fertile land should be preserved. Li Zhan is too demanding of you."

With the beginning of this person, another member of the family also echoed: "That's right, Mr. Liu helped us keep the land, but his hard work was questioned. I ask Li Zhan to investigate clearly, and then blame Mr. Liu."

Listening to them all speaking for themselves, Liu Tongfang felt vain in his heart, and said with a smile: "Li Zhanshi just came to Hangzhou, and he doesn't understand many things, so it's normal to think so."

Li Yi'an sneered coldly: "The anti-flood that Mr. Liu said probably meant enlisting all the people as corvees to protect the family's land with all their strength?"

"Otherwise!"

The person from that family just now said: "Ordinary people are nothing more than untouchables. Our family is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Most of the court's taxes are given by our family. What can ordinary people give? They can't give anything."

People from many aristocratic families in the field listened to this person's words and nodded in agreement.

In this era, the aristocratic family is really superior.
