Chapter 465: Anomalies in Lanzhou City
Lanzhou is a second-level prefecture under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou.
Half a year ago, refugees rioted. After the governor and Sima of Yongzhou learned the news, they came to Lanzhou under the pretext of official business to quell the rebellion.
This wait lasted for half a year.
The people of Lanzhou originally thought that the governor came here to solve the problem of the people being displaced, but in the end they didn't expect that they came here to live a life of debauchery and form cliques for personal gain!
He not only supported the Lanzhou County Magistrate's practice of suppressing refugees, but also ordered the county magistrate to intensify the violent suppression, and even classified all those who had helped refugees around Hongxiu Mountain as refugees.
Instead of sending people to resettle these so-called "refugees", they sent troops to drive them away, and then took back all the people's land and transferred it to the close relatives of the Lanzhou magistrate and the governor.
As a result, the number of rioting refugees in Lanzhou increased and could not be suppressed no matter how hard the suppression was done.
"Such a huge riot, the imperial court didn't know about it?"
In a teahouse outside Lanzhou City, Nanqi held Xiao Yier in his arms, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
How come there was such a big riot and no one outside knew anything about it?
The teahouse owner wiped his hands, his face showing both anger and helplessness.
"Didn't you see when you came here? There are people patrolling the area ten miles outside the city at irregular intervals. Moreover, everyone leaving the city must register, and only those on the Lanzhou City Register can leave."
"And if these people go out and spread rumors, their families will be labeled refugees and expelled from Lanzhou. In serious cases, they may even be labeled as collaborators with bandits and their entire family will be executed!"
"Collaborating with bandits? Does that mean Li Yong treats refugees as bandits?!" Nanqi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Well, just know this, but don't spread it around! If someone gets to the governor's ears, you'll be in big trouble!"
Nanqi snorted. He was afraid that he wouldn’t come to find him!
"Sir, Lanzhou City is in chaos right now. If you don't have anything to do, you'd better not go in. Otherwise, you might not be able to get out!"
Nanqi frowned and said, "Not going?"
How can I know what the Governor Li Yong and the Lanzhou County Magistrate Liang Dong are up to if I don’t go?
Shui Ziliu felt that there was something strange and bizarre about this matter, so he asked, "Boss, may I ask, why did those two officials take over so much land?"
The boss shook his head. "I don't know about that. I only know that almost all the refugee riots happened on Hongxiu Mountain, east of Lanzhou."
"Red Rust Mountain?"
"Yes! The mountain is red, like rusted iron, so it's named Red Rust Mountain."
Shui Ziliu asked again, "Have you confirmed the part about the refugee riot at Red Rust Mountain?"
"Yeah! Actually, there's nothing much you can grow on that piece of land. You can only grow some saxaul and cycad trees and sell them. Even though they're not worth much, the mountain people there make their living from saxaul and cycad trees!"
"Now that they have lost their land and their homes, they have become refugees!"
"Ah! Not only have I lost my home, but now I'm being treated as a refugee and suppressed! What kind of world is this?!"
After drinking tea and putting down the money, Nanqi and others left.
Wuwu was temporarily placed in the mountains because it is a wild beast after all, and entering and leaving human living areas will cause disturbances. Yaozhou is the best example.
Nanqi, Shui Ziliu and others returned to the mountains again. Wuwu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to rush out to find Yier.
"I'm going to Lanzhou City. I definitely can't take Wuwu in. You guys stay here and look after Yi'er and Wuwu."
Nanqi instructed Shui Ziliu and others.
He also smelled something strange from this incident.
Red rust mountain, iron tree, and sand date are all characteristics of iron ore!
Could it be that there is an iron mine in Lanzhou City?
But if it really happened, why didn't County Magistrate Liang Dong report it? Or did he report it, but it was intercepted by Li Yong?
Everything is still unknown.
However, since Li Yong was able to stay in Lanzhou for half a year, it meant that there must be some unspeakable secret in Lanzhou!
"I'll go with you!"
The water suddenly began to flow.
Nanqi glanced at him and refused, "No, Yi'er is here, no one is protecting her, what if something happens?"
"Yier has Wuwu. As long as Yier doesn't control Wuwu and prevents it from hurting others, no one in Lanzhou can hurt her!" If there really is someone who can beat this tiger cub, then even if he is there, it will be of no use.
Nanqi was still worried, and he felt more at ease knowing that someone was here to look after Yier.
Shui Ziliu continued, "I know what you want to do. You want to go to the Sima Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, but you are alone after all, so you will always be unable to handle everything. Besides, I am better at gathering information!"
If he went, he might chop off the hands and legs of the governor and the county magistrate, but still not get the information he wanted.
Nanqi stared at him, his eyes full of scrutiny and a hint of surprise. He had not expected that this water flow had such ability!
He didn't say anything, but he saw everything?
At this time, Yi'er saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so she said, "Brother Nan, Uncle Shui, I'll go with you too!"
"no!"
"no!"
Nanqi and Shuiziliu opened at the same time, which was a perfect match.
Yi'er pouted, feeling very aggrieved, with tears welling up in her round eyes. "Do you dislike Yi'er?"
"Yier won't cause any more trouble..."
Nanqi suddenly felt distressed and hurried to comfort her.
Finally, Nanqi agreed to take Yier with him.
Shui Ziliu went to inquire about Hongxiu Mountain and the refugees, while Nanqi took Yier to Sima Mansion.
Shui Ziliu felt something was wrong, but Nanqi didn't give him a chance to object.
He had other considerations.
The three of them were not very conspicuous and entered Lanzhou City smoothly. After entering Lanzhou City, Shui Ziliu and Nanqi acted separately.
In Lanzhou City, the streets of Chiang Rai are bustling with activity.
The city and the outside world seemed like two different worlds. After asking carefully, I learned that the people in the city had no idea about the specific situation outside and thought that the issue of refugees had been resolved long ago.
As night fell, Nanqi brought Yier to the roof of a brightly lit mansion.
This is the temporary residence of Zhang Sizhen, the Sima of Yongzhou.
It seemed that a banquet had just been held in the backyard. The hall in the backyard was still a mess, with wine and food scattered everywhere, which showed how chaotic the scene was!
The host had left the table and the guests also left one after another. Nanqi took Yi'er for another walk around the backyard of Sima Mansion and finally stopped on the roof of the main house in the backyard.
Inside the house, there were children crying in fear.
Nanqi's gloomy face was like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, almost destroying the city!
"Yier, wait for me here."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Yi'er to respond, his body disappeared.
In mid-air, a little girl sat on the roof. A cold wind blew, and although she didn't feel cold, she still shivered uncontrollably.
At this moment, the crying of the children in the house disappeared, and was replaced by a man's frightened and angry curse.
"Who are you? You dare to ruin my good deeds? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
However, after just this one sentence, there was no more sound, only screams.
Yi'er sat on the roof and, out of curiosity, lifted a tile.
However, the scene she saw made her face turn pale, and her bright eyes were filled with half fear, half anger, and some complicated heartache.
