Chapter 73: Antipoem

After waiting for about half an hour, a scout followed Rob to report: "Majia Village is empty and no chicken or dog is left ...
"From the various traces, the ordinary people in the village should have been trapped by the pirates. About seven or eight days ago, they wandered to the area of ​​Wulin County ..."
Feng Liao, Su Mingjian and others changed their faces together.
Rogue! Turns out there is a rogue!
Refugees and vagrants, although only one word apart, are essentially two different types of people.
Refugees are ordinary civilians who have to leave their homes and go elsewhere to discuss their lives after the disaster. They are the objects who need sympathy and help.
In an official language that Yong Ruo had heard in previous lives: They were just the affected people.
Rogues will not wait pitifully for others to come to sympathy and relief, they will wander around and live by robbing others.
Where they go, the social order is severely disrupted.
Rogues are building their strength very quickly, because they will ensnare the victims and robbery with them, turning the victims into rogues like them.
In the year of famine and famine, the worst fear is the appearance of rogues.
Once the power of Liu Kou grew, even if it was finally suppressed by the imperial court, blood would flow into the river and corpses traverse the wild within the scope of influence.
If the imperial court can't suppress it, it is a question of changing the dynasty.
At stake in this, Feng Liao and Su Mingjian, who are at the core of imperial power, are very clear in their hearts.
"And ..." the scout hurriedly said, "Most of the houses in the village were burned, except for one yard. Because ... because ..."
Feng Liang stared at him desperately, shouting, "Because of what? Say!"
The scout took a deep breath and said aloud, "Because there is an anti-poem in the main room of that yard!"
"Anti-poem? What is it?" Feng Liao's hands trembled slightly, and her palms became a little damp.
"I don't dare to say that! I invite Wang Ye and the adults to see for themselves!"
Feng Liang glared at him and said, "Go! Go and see!"
He turned to look at Yong Ruo, and said as softly as possible, "You'll be with me after a while! Don't be afraid, we have a lot of guards, and generally we can't help us."
Yong Ruo smiled at him, his face calmly and calmly: "I'm not afraid of anything with Wang Ye."
Feng Liang barely smiled at her, and said, "I'm afraid now!"
Both anxiety and remorse in his heart: Ruoru, I really shouldn't agree to let you follow! I know that anything can happen in the famine, why should I agree with you? Still too arrogant!
With the presence of rogues, he did not dare to let Yong Ruo run wild. I felt deeply that it was safer to take her with me, fortunately, Ruo Ruo's riding and physical strength were very good!
But, what should Taiyi Xu do? How do you clean up those rogues?
Feng Liao turned her thoughts in a chaotic manner, speeding up to Majia Village.
In Yong Ruo's mind, he was thinking of several rebel celebrities in previous history. Like Li Zicheng, like Huang Chao ...
Li Zicheng directly overturned the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Chao was finally suppressed by the official army, but the civilian casualties he caused were incalculable, and the damage to social order was inestimable, which directly accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty and indirectly opened up the chaos of the five generations and ten countries.
Yong Ruo sighed in his heart: To this day, no matter for the people here, or for his own life and political life, Feng Liao has to deal with these bandits as soon as possible.
Even if he knew there was a trap ahead, he had to step on it!
This is likely to be a conspiracy against Feng Liao.
It's still a difficult conspiracy-Yang Mo is stronger than conspiracy: even if Feng Liang sees through the opponent's various plans, he has to drill into the preset battlefield of others because he can't let the rogue grow up.
And Alan's identity and role in this matter is even more confusing.
Looking over the second mountain beam, Yong Ruo saw the destroyed Majia Village.
Judging from the number of houses, there were originally 30 to 40 households in the village. But now, except for one yard, the other houses have been turned into scorched earth, leaving only a piece of wall debris and rubble ash.
Alan had already heard the news from Xiao Linzi.
At this point, after witnessing the situation, she burst into tears again. While crying, she also called the names or titles of various relatives, and then ran madly towards the village.
The two guards in charge of "taking care of" Aran ran quickly behind her.
Feng Liao and others all looked sad.
The road from the mountain beam to the village entrance is steep and narrow, not suitable for horse riding.
Feng Liang and Yong Ruo could only dismount and walk. Their horses were held by eunuchs behind them. Feng Liang took Yong Ruo's hand down the mountain together.
Near the village entrance, Feng Liang pinched Yong Ruo's hand and comforted her very gently: "It's okay! I will always hold your hand."
Yong Ruo squeezed his hand and smiled at him: "Okay! I'll always hold the boy's hand."
In the middle of a sundried field at the village entrance, there are ashes of a campfire; around the campfire, there are tables and chairs, pots and stoves, and many bones of chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep that have been burned, and some broken wine goblets and bowls .
From the ash wreckage of the campfire, not only the firewood was burned, but also some furniture that was chopped off.
Some wine bowls and pieces of wine bowls still had a faint blood stain, as if many people had gathered together to drink blood wine.
Obviously, just a few days ago, a large group of people gathered here, held a campfire party, ate and drank, and shed blood as an alliance.
There are quite a few guys who are rebellious.
Leaving from the Sun Valley, Yong Ruo and Feng Liang went to the only yard in the village that had not been burned.
This is also the best-built yard in the entire village. Although it is only one step forward, it is a brick building and the condition is very new.
The east and west chambers of the yard were damaged to varying degrees.
The windows were removed and the furniture was gone. It may have been burned to the sun-dried farm. There are also traces of peeing in the room.
But the main house of this yard is very well kept and very clean.
There are three main rooms with the main room in the middle. The middle of the hall is for the teachers of heaven and earth.
On the white powder wall on the east side of the house, there was an anti-poem dripping in ink:
I have no feelings of sorrow, no parents, no wealth;
Dirty officials and ghosts kill the land, and reckless heroes gather;
Rich and glorious Hua Tian refused, Jiangshan News Agency seized me;
If he was Ling Yunzhi in his youth, the temple would be opened from this house. ①
The meaning of this poem is very straightforward:
Although he had no parents when he was a child, no money when he grew up, his life was down, and he wandered around, he did not feel very sad;
Now, dirty officials and droughts are killing people, and it is time for the reckless heroes to form an alliance and stand up;
God (or Heavenly Son) didn't give them glory and wealth, so they snatched Jiangshan Club by themselves;
If this ambitious ambition is realized, this room is where his imperial hegemony began.
As a person who knows only a few words about poems, Yong Ruo finds the poem very powerful.
An image of a reckless hero who was bumpy in his childhood but impassioned in his heart, but impoverished but ambitiously, was portrayed vividly.
But after reading the poem, Feng Liao snorted and began to taunt: "The tone is arrogant! Unfortunately, the book is not read well enough, and the poetry is written in the wrong grammar. When it comes to the academic field, this is a well-known Sun Shan and even Xiucai miss Life. "
Yong Ruoxiu asked for advice: "Where is the wrong metric?"
Feng Liao said: "The word" Capture "is in the sound of the seven sounds, and it is a sound of sound. At that position, a plain sound should be used!"
He turned his head to look at the poem on the wall, and said with a sullen expression: "So, he used the word" robber "wrong!"
Yong Ruo felt: Feng Liao's words had a point meaning.
What he really wanted to say was not that the poem was wrong, but that the person who wrote the poem had acted in a way that disturbed the law?
However, at this moment, in this situation, she naturally would not raise her bar with Feng Liang, and debate with him whether the meaning of the poems should be the first or the rhythm first, or the difference between the ancient and standard verses.
She just nodded very sympathetically: "You don't say I haven't found it yet ... this poem is really wrong!"
Feng Liang coughed a little uncomfortably, then turned her head and scanned the poem.
"No wonder the house in the village is full, only this one is intact. Hmm, if you want to open a Taimiao from this house, you have to see if he has this good fortune!"
Feng Liang's tone was cold, and there was a faint, suppressed anger.
He lifted his feet and walked outside, and instructed Xiao Guizi casually: "Cut off the wall of the poem. Be careful, don't cut it!" He also ordered Su Mingjian to bring the map.
The two guards removed the tables and chairs from the house and placed them in the yard.
Feng Liang and Su Mingjian sat at the table, studying the map together in the light of the setting sun.
"Wulin County is very dangerous now!" Su Mingjian's finger pointed on the map. "I just estimated with Alan's rhetoric and the number of households here, and this village should have been wrapped by more than 100 people.
"In these seven or eight days, as long as they wrap up a few villages, they can reach the scale of thousands.
"If they go into Wulin County at this time, this small county can not hold thousands of displaced people. If these people take the opportunity to kill the riots in the county and then wrap the people in the county, they can reach thousands or even tens of thousands Human scale. "
"After robbing Wulin County, they can spread to the surrounding Xiushan County, Anning County, Bo County, Xuezhou Government. By then, the situation will be difficult to clean up ..."
Feng Liao also looked intently at the map and gritted her teeth, saying, "This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, or they will be allowed to run like this, and they will soon reach tens of thousands of thousands. By then, more people will be displaced and lost. He died; if the response is not good, the world will be turbulent. After the king returns to Beijing, it is difficult to explain to the emperor ... "
His lips froze fiercely and asked, "Did the scouts go out?"
"Half of the scouts have been assigned to track down the rogue. But this way, the strength of the guards around Wang Ye will weaken some ..."
"Anyway. My King believes that the land of Lunan is still mostly populous ..."
When Feng Liao and Su Mingjian analyzed the situation and discussed countermeasures, Yong Ruodu sat under a tree in the courtyard, answering these questions carefully.
Is there anything suspicious about this? Are there any flaws?
Alan's identity has not been confirmed.
Definitely. Because everyone in the village was taken away, no one could testify for her, and no one could expose her.
It seems normal that there are gangsters in the famine, and people in the village are taken away by them.
It is also normal for the violent gangsters to drink blood wine and have a bonfire party. Without thoroughly fanning people's emotions, who will follow them to do the killing and copying?
It is not surprising that the houses in Manchuria were burned.
If the retreat of the villagers is not completely cut off, how can these villagers follow them in desperation to rob and rob?
It's not surprising that this small yard survived.
The leader of the rogue invaded the poems in the main room of this courtyard. He would "open the Taimiao Temple from now on". Naturally, he could not burn his own "Tai Temple".
Except that everything seemed too coincidental, everything they encountered today and everything they saw was very logical and logical.
Yong Ruo sat there, staring at the gradually dark sky.
She thought: Since you can't find any flaws for the time being, why not jump out of logic and reason and think about it the other way around?
What if the people in the village are still there?
In that case, Alan's identity should be confirmed.
So, did the people in the village disappear so that Alan's identity could not be confirmed or revealed?
If the other party's purpose is just this, why not kill everyone in the village and choose a more complicated and risky one?
Is it really because the leader of the tyrants wants to rebel and become emperor?
She thought of the anti-poem again. Is there anything wrong with that anti-poem?
She tossed it over and over twice, but found nothing wrong. The meaning of that poem is straightforward, there are no obscure allusions and metaphors, much like the writing of a reckless hero who does not read much and is determined to rebel.
Think about it in reverse: If this poem is not intended to express the desire of the leader of the rogue to rebel, then what is the significance of its existence?
Yong Ruo had pain in his head, but he didn't think of it.
Feng Liang and Su Mingjian quarreled again.
Feng Liao wanted to bring the guard to personally clean up the band of bandits in order to concentrate the most advantageous troops and eliminate the hidden dangers as quickly as possible.
Su Mingjian wanted to use a sound strategy.
On the one hand, let Rob lead three-quarters of the escorts, Feng Liao and others to Xiushan County, then turn to Xuezhou Wei, and use Tianzi Sword to dispatch soldiers to destroy the invaders.
On the other hand, he took fifty elite guards and ten scouts himself, and quickly tracked the bandits, and then kept on harassing, waiting for Feng Liao's rescue.
