Glorious Summoner

The officials and entourages in the Provincial Governor Mansion who came to welcome Xia Pingan didn’t expect Xia Pingan to kill people as soon as they arrived in Dao Province, and they still killed people in the public. Of course What they did not expect was that in such a short time, the city gate gathered so many people, and Xia Pingan would make the people of Dao Province so excited.

The black crowd knelt on the ground, all asking Xia Pingan to call them the shots.

The people in Dao Province have been struggling for a long time, and finally ushered in an official who dared to be the master of the people. Everyone was excited.

“Everyone get up…” Xia Pingan looked at the black people kneeling on the ground, walked directly to the carriage and stood on the carriage hill, so that everyone could see him and hear him. He said, “Since I am the Dao Province Provincial Governor in Yangcheng, I will never allow anyone in Dao Province to harm my Dao Province people. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, I’ll make the decision for everyone!”

When Xia Pingan said this, the people around the city gate became more agitated.

A gray-haired old man stood up tremblingly, facing Xia Pingan cupped the hands, and said, “My lord, the most painful thing for the people of Dao Province is this tribute to the Imperial Court. From Sui Yang to today, in the past hundred years, I don’t know how many people in Dao Province have lost their families and wives, and whose relatives, friends, and ancestors have never encountered such a thing.

Ordinary people’s homes, all of them live trembling with fear, anyone who is pregnant with a child dare not let anyone know, or they can only quietly retreat to another country, just because they are afraid that the born child will be captured by the government and change The dwarf pays tribute to the Imperial Court. The officials in the yamen are like wolves and tigers. Every year, they go to Dao Province to check their household books. When they see the children of the poor, they will be taken away directly in the name of the government. Who dares To block is to be an enemy of the Imperial Court and disrespect the emperor. Every year in my Dao Province, there are at least a dozen or so households, but as many as hundreds of households. The worst thing in the world is this. I also ask the adults to do it for me. The people of Dao Province are the masters!”

“Last year our Qian Family who made tofu next door, because the child was taken away, the Qian Family’s wife committed suicide and the Qian Family men went crazy. It’s too miserable…” someone next to him said.

“That is, all the pregnant women in our village ran into the mountains and lived in the wood house in the mountains. They dare not return to the village…”

“The one in Fangyuan Hutong The mother-in-law, the child who became mad after being snatched away, she would breastfeed someone when she saw someone…”

The surrounding Dao Province people began to speak of which.

So many families do this every year? Xia Pingan’s heart was slightly trembled…

Although it was known that the people of Dao Province had a miserable life, there would be children of the people who would be taken by the government and trained as dwarfs to give tribute to the Imperial Court, but Xia Pingan didn’t expect Dao The people of Province will be so miserable, so many families suffer every year.

This is the true state of the people in Dao Province who are living in what they are called the “Great Tang Prosperity”. For these people in Dao Province, they can’t feel the “Great Tang Prosperity”. Over the past 100 years, the greatest hope of the people in Dao Province is that the child in the family will not be taken away and turned into a dwarf.

And such human tragedies have happened time and time again in Dao Province, and it has become something that Dao Province officials acquiesced in tacit consent.

“The child from the poor family will be taken away by the government officials, how about the child from the rich family?” Xia Pingan asked directly.

“The rich and the wealthy are also trembling with fear. When an official comes to check the household population, they can only use gold and silver to serve them, delicious and delicious, so that the children in the family can be saved from a catastrophe, the poor If the family has no money to manage, they can only let the government take the child away!” The old man replied.

“Where did those people take the children of the Dao Province people?” Xia Pingan asked.

“The children who were taken away are in Changyun Villa outside the city!”

“Are all the children there?”

“Yes, All the children are there. They trained the robbed children to be dwarfs at Changyun Villa!”

“Where is Changyun Mountain Villa?”

“My lord, Changyun The villa is on Changyun Mountain, five miles away from here!”

Xia Pingan looked around for a week, loudly said, “Okay, today, when the official came to Dao Province for the first time, I went to the Changyun Mountain Villa to have a look. See what kind of dragon’s pool and tiger’s den that Changyun Villa is like, dare to devour my Dao Province every year. There are no hundreds of people, and all the squads will lead the way. Let’s go to Changyun Villa to have a look!”

“My lord, we know where the Changyun Mountain Villa is, and we will lead the way for the adults!”

The surrounding people started enthusiastically.

Xia Pingan instructed Zheng Wei and Xue Yue to bring the woman who had been suing the road to the carriage. He walked and turned around with the people. Instead of returning to the Provincial Governor’s government office, he moved directly. towards Changyun Villa outside the city.

The officials from the Provincial Governor’s government office who greeted Xia Pingan, seeing this situation, can only follow Xia Pingan to Changyun Mountain Villa.

The team is grandiose, the people in the team are excited one by one, and the officials who followed Xia Pingan all the way have a hunch that today, there will be a major event in Dao Province.

Along the way the team passed, those Dao Province people who saw the team knew that Xia Pingan was going to Changyun Mountain Villa, and they all joined in. Many people directly took hoes, sickles, sticks, etc. As Xia Pingan went to Changyun Mountain Villa with Xia Pingan, there were more and more people in the whole team. In the end, there were thousands of people, which was quite spectacular.

The distance of more than five miles, in fact, is less than three kilometers, and it took more than half an hour to walk, and Changyun Villa has appeared in front of Xia Pingan.

It is a manor house covering an area of ​​tens of acres, with trees lined with trees and a tall courtyard with a large scale.

The people at Changyun Mountain Villa have got the news. When Xia Pingan took the grandiose to the outside of Changyun Mountain Villa, there was already someone waiting for Xia Pingan’s on the road outside Changyun Mountain Villa. Has arrived.

A man in his fifties, wearing a silk suit and a cap, with dozens of strong men with knives, guns and clubs, stood at the intersection.

Seeing that so many people came all of a sudden, the man’s face changed slightly, and the Zhuang Ding behind the man was also a little commotion, but the man was still calm, turned his head and stared fiercely, those The tumultuous Zhuang Ding calmed down.

The man stared at Xia Pingan, who was leading the crowd all the way, with a smile on his face, and he opened his mouth with a loud voice.

“I heard that Lord Yang came to Dao Province today. I don’t know why Lord Yang brought so many people to my Changyun Mountain Villa. I still want to find some time to visit the Lord in the Provincial Governor Mansion. “

The man smiled and said to Xia Pingan, a well-behaved and sensible appearance, but to the people who came here with Xia Pingan, he was not so polite, just in a blink of an eye. , The man had a face-changing game, his face was stern, his eyes flashed cold light, and he yelled at the ordinary imposing manner in an imposing manner, “Why do you untouchables come here, don’t you know us? Changyun Mountain Villa is the city center of Dao Province. Is it the place responsible for paying tribute to the Imperial Court? Your Majesty in Chang’an City is still waiting for the tribute from Changyun Mountain Villa. The tribute is our Dao Province’s first major event. It is our Dao Province city’s opportunity to express loyalty to the Imperial Court and Your Majesty, and it affects Dao Province city’s tribute. Do you deserve it? Do you want to rebel, and don’t hurry up! Dare to make trouble, be careful to let your untouchables die, No one can keep you!”

The person who was imposing manner was like a wolf and a tiger. Many of the people next to Xia Pingan were scared by that person and took a few steps back. Look over to Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan squinted at the man. What the man said to the people just now was actually speaking to herself and threatening herself.

“Who are you?” Xia Pingan asked directly.

As soon as the man turned his face, he looked at Xia Pingan with a smile, and cupped the hands to Xia Pingan, “Master Yang, I am Zhuang Chao, the owner of this Changyun Villa. The squire of Dao Province is also the chief here. Our dealer has rooted in this Dao Province city for more than ten generations, loyal to the emperor and loving the people from generation to generation. Today, if the adults come to me, I wonder if they are deceived by the villains. Our Changyun Villa can Never do anything illegal!”

“Oh, yes, how did I hear that there are many kidnapped children in Dao Province hiding in your Changyun Villa?” Xia Pingan asked .

Zhuang Chao said with a stern face, “What do you mean by this adult? The children in my Changyun Mountain Villa are tributes. They are to cultivate training city dwarf warriors representing Dao Province to pay tribute to the Imperial Court. How do you call hiding? It’s really chilling for the adults to slander us at Changyun Mountain Villa today. The last time I observed, the adults returned to our Changyun Mountain Villa. He encouraged me to wait and asked me to wait for making an all-out effort to complete the Imperial Court order. If we no longer train and train those dwarf drama figurines and delay the major event of Dao Province’s tribute, the Imperial Court and observation make adults blame it, can adults afford this responsibility?”

“What a clever mouth that can speak well, it actually threatens the official!” Xia Pingan laughed heartily, his face turned cold, “Let you be a clever tongue, but the Imperial Court legal system and you can reverse it in a few words, press Imperial Court The laws and decrees and the contributions of the counties are all taken from the local soil, quasi-silk is the price, the tribute shall not exceed 50 horses, and the official goods are used as the market, the tribute is minimal, and the goods are easy to provide, and the sacred dynasty is permanent. Yu Si is here. It is added to this. It also discounts the rent. You don’t need to pay for it. The children in your Changyun Mountain Villa are all privately plundered. Where is the tribute, Sihu Wang Qi has already committed suicide, and you are the original Don’t the officials dare to kill you? If the Imperial Court and the observers want to blame, even if they come, even Pei Yanling dared to impeach you. Don’t you be afraid of your intimidation! You colluded with Wang Qi and concealed and pirated the children. The crime is very heinous. , Damn…” Zhuang Chao complexion changed. Just as he wanted to say something, Xia Pingan had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the Tang knife on Xue Yue’s waist and slashed it out.

Under the gaze of the officials of Dao Province Provincial Governor and thousands of people around, Xia Pingan’s sword was cut directly from Zhuang Chao’s neck, and Zhuang Chao still carried a trace The head with the color of astonishment fell from his neck and fell to the ground…
