After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 114 Burial
Meng Liangchen looked at Mu Ze with complicated eyes. Mu Ze had obviously listened to it for a long time, and said, "Go on."

The woman's mood has stabilized a little, and she continued: "But along the way, I have met too many orphans and widows. My father-in-law is kind, and he and his brothers brought these women, children and some bodies along the way. Inconvenient people with flaws.

We were slower than the blind daters, so we were left behind. When we arrived here in the next year, the government officials would not let us go forward, saying that the imperial court had issued an imperial decree to prevent refugees from entering Beijing, but we had nowhere to go. , I went to the local government, but they ignored us and drove us away. "

Meng Liangchen couldn't help interrupting her and asked, "You mean the local officials prevent you from going to Beijing?"

The woman nodded very positively, and replied: "Yes, but we have traveled ups and downs all the way, and finally got here, and the silver on us has long been exhausted. We had no choice but to go up the mountain. They make a living by hunting in the mountains, but the prey in the mountains is limited, and the local mountain people also hunt for a living, and now they can't hunt any animals.

The adults can hold it, but the children are still young and really can't hold it. Therefore, after my husband and the others received this letter, they made the decision to go down the mountain to rob after several discussions.

They didn't want to hurt people, they just wanted to rob some money and food in exchange for some food! "

Meng Liangchu suddenly remembered that when they first entered the forest, they felt that it was strangely quiet in the forest. There was no sound of birds or animals, so it was because of this.

Meng Liangchen was stunned at the beginning to angry at the end!
Meng Liangchu frowned and looked at the woman, saying: "The imperial court has never issued an order not to allow refugees to enter Beijing!"

The burly third child who was detained on Meng Liangchu's side wanted to break free angrily, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense! We all saw it on the city wall in front, and they clearly posted notices! The local officials also told us the same! "

The burly youngest took a few breaths of excitement, his eyes turned red with anger.

"Drive us out of the city, we have nowhere to go, otherwise, who would want to go up the mountain and become some kind of bandit!"

Meng Liangchen was very puzzled, which joint went wrong?

"The notice issued by the imperial court is obviously a conscription notice, but where is the expulsion order?"

As soon as she said this, all the bandits and women were silent for a moment, and then, like bees that had exploded in their nest, you spoke one after another, all disapproving of Meng Liangchen's words.

Cheng Yuan shouted: "Quiet!"

Everyone fell silent instantly, and he continued: "Listen to me, everyone, we are members of the imperial court. If you really have grievances, we will definitely give you justice."

Mu Ze asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

He was asking the officials from the two places standing beside him. At this moment, the two of them were so frightened that their faces were dripping with cold sweat, and their fat bodies were trembling as they knelt on the sides of Mu Ze. , trembling all over.

"My lord, my lord Mingjian, the officials and others have indeed received an order to prohibit the entry of refugees, and they will never dare to post notices at will, against the will of the Holy Majesty!"

Mu Ze didn't believe what the two said. He came to rescue Meng Liangchen so quickly because he was not in the capital at all.

During this period of time, he went to a nearby town to secretly investigate a major case of corruption and bribery, so he could rush over as soon as he got the news.

Now it seems that this matter may have something to do with the case he wants to investigate.

Mu Ze didn't ask any more questions, and probably couldn't find anything here, but looking at these two fat-headed and big-eared officials, there must be something hidden about them.

"Cheng Yuan, arrest him."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the two fat officials changed immediately. Knowing that they were doomed, they kept begging for mercy until they were gagged and suppressed.

Cheng Yuan glanced at the people in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do with these people?"

Mu Ze stretched out his fingers and tapped on the armrest, saying, "Leave it alone."

After he finished speaking, he got up and left.

Meng Liangchen looked at the crying mother and son and sighed, they are also a group of poor people.

"Brother, give them something to eat."

After Meng Liangchen went back, he talked to Murongshu and Lianyi about the matter, and the two looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for what happened to these fake mountain bandits.

Lianyi asked: "Then what's the problem? The emperor clearly issued a conscription order."

Meng Liangchen shook his head, and said: "I don't know what went wrong, but it must be related to the officials of these two places. I'm afraid someone above wants them to steal peaches for pears."

Lianyi was very angry, frowning and reaching out to slap the table: "This group of people are really too bold! They even dare to obey the orders of the emperor!"

Meng Liangchen couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Although this place is not far from the capital, it's not too far away. I don't know who is so bold to dare to blatantly despise the imperial power.

This person's official position is probably not small!

But she couldn't control these things, Meng Liangchen looked at the two of them.

"What do you two mean? Do you want to pursue it? If you want to pursue it, they will all be arrested and sent to prison."

Ripple was in a bit of trouble, and her sympathy made her unable to have the heart to send them all to prison.

"But they are also victims, it's a bit unfair to go to prison."

Among them, the most injured person was Murong Shu, and Meng Liangchen felt that it was important to ask her for advice.

Murong Shu actually nodded in agreement, and said: "Since we are all fine now, let's forget it."

After finishing speaking, he frowned and said, "But the man behind the scenes who kidnapped us must be found out!"

Meng Liangchen said: "There is no useful evidence at present, but I believe things will always make progress,"

When Meng Liangchen went to find Mu Ze, Mu Ze had just finished writing a letter and handed it to Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan received the letter, saluted Meng Liangchen and went to work.

Meng Liangchen sat across from Mu Ze and asked, "Why did you come to save me so quickly?"

"I was nearby at the time, and rushed over after receiving Tian Yu's message."

After saying this, he looked at Meng Liangchen: "Fortunately, I'm not late."

Meng Liangchen smiled and said, "I thought you would come to save me, but I didn't expect you to come, and I was pleasantly surprised."

Mu Ze sighed, and said with a trace of reproach in his tone: "Why didn't you tell me when you went out, this time I arrived in time, what should I do if something happens?"

Meng Liangchen stuck out his tongue, and said: "I asked Tian Yu, and Tian Yu said that you are not in the capital. I was afraid that you would be distracted when you came out to do business, so I didn't let him tell you."

When she said this, it seemed that she finally remembered that she hadn't seen Tian Yu for so long.
