Day by day, it gets colder and colder.

Entering November, the sky seemed to be shrouded in snow. In Xiaohua's impression, it seemed that the snow had never stopped outside in the past few days.But it was cold that she didn't go out of the temple all day long, and she didn't have time to notice if the snow had stopped.

During this period, King Jing went out again. After King Jing left, Xiao Hua learned from the chat of the two little eunuchs who served in the temple that King Jing went out of the house because there was a place under the rule of snow. It was too big and there was a snow disaster. It seemed a bit serious. King Jing went to see the situation in person.

Therefore, Xiaohua came to the conclusion that a King King is a good feudal king.

Xiaohua has never seen what the snow disaster is like.

After she was sold as a child, she wandered around as a girl in every household and couldn't understand the serious situation of the disaster.When I was young, I had seen floods, but the impression was too far away, except for the faces of my parents and my young brother, there was only crying everywhere.

When Xiaohua came to the conclusion that King Jing was a good feudal lord, King Jing was riding a horse outside in the snow, and the guards of the palace suggested that he ride in a carriage.But he felt that the carriage was too slow, so he abandoned it and rode.

Jingzhou has always been a place of bitter cold. The so-called bitter cold means that people are not wealthy because of poor agriculture. Cold means that Jingzhou is located in the north and has always been cold. In winter, the weather is cold and snowy.

Because this piece of fief is very barren, so the current saint is also very generous, the area of ​​Jingzhou is the largest fief among several vassals.

The so-called vast land is nothing more than this.

In fact, King Jing was not used for this trip. There is no reason to manage a snow disaster in a small county town, and a prince would have to come and see in person.However, King Jing has always been serious in his work. In his previous life, he did not manage his fiefs carefully, and the fiefs were always poor.After returning in this life, he spent a lot of thoughts on his fief.

If he is not good at farming, he specifically collected an agricultural talent and promoted many suitable crops according to Jingzhou’s geographical environment, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were newly introduced from Panbang with high yield. In the past two years, he ruled There has hardly been any starvation to death.

The business was not good, so he let his people go to other prosperous state capitals to do business, and even sold good things such as special products such as fur and ginseng outside, and then brought in other things.

King Jing thought very simple, if he could not even manage his fief, how qualified would he say that he could change his destiny?

Over the past few years, the effect has been good. Not only has the tax and money collected under the rule increased, but King King's personal pockets are also very sufficient.

And he came this time out of deterrence, telling the governing officials not to vainly attempt to harshly rule the people under his nose.He didn't need to do anything. He just had to run back and forth for a few days. The result was that the people below didn't dare to ignore it and there would be no freezing and starvation. King Jing thought this was a good deal.

King Jing's ideas have never been different from those of others, but in any case, at least he ruled the people's lives fairly well. In recent years, many people have said that His Royal Highness King Jing is a good feudal king.

There was not much snow when I went out, but when I was halfway down the road, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was swift, and it was hard to see the road conditions ahead.

A guard wearing a ritual guard armor and a black-faced scarlet lining cloak brought the horse closer to King Jing's mount.

"His Royal Highness, there is a village nearby. Let's go there to avoid snow. This snow is too big." As soon as the guard opened his mouth, he was blown away by snow foam.

King Jing didn't react slowly this time, but nodded quickly.

This guard was also familiar with King Jing's disposition, and with a wave of his hand, one guard rode a horse to lead the way.

A group of people galloped for a while, and they saw a village in the distance.

Looking at it, the village is not big, and the houses are even small and simple, but in this weather it makes everyone happy and in a hurry.

Riding a little closer, before entering the village, I followed the wind and heard the faintly screaming cry and screams in the village.

King Jing's mount was at the forefront, he held the reins, the horse galloped, and the guards behind made the same movements.

Not only King Jing heard the abnormal sound, but the guards behind also heard it.The security officer on the side waved, and a few people ran out of the team and rode into the village. King King and his party followed.

As soon as he entered the village, a tragic situation appeared in everyone's eyes.

There is a lot of blood on the snow, and there are three or two corpses on the trails between the villages. They look like villagers in the village.

Seeing the dead, everyone was taken aback, King Jing rarely spoke, "Go and see."

King Jing came out this time with dozens of guards from the palace, no matter what happened, he was not afraid.Hearing King Jing's order, a group of people were well-trained and divided into several groups, chasing the voices, and galloped past.

Here King King stopped on a cross road in the village with the remaining ten or so guards, and the guard in a hood said again: "Your Majesty, go down and find a vacant room, go first. Avoid the wind and snow inside."

King Jing nodded, got off his horse, and found a room nearby and walked in.

In fact, they don't need to look for them. They have long seen that many houses are open.Those who practice martial arts have good eyes, and they seem to see dead people inside.

Who is so courageous to slaughter the village?Within sight, they had already seen many dead people.

King King stepped into the hall, and the guard who had entered in advance had already taken care of it.Two people found a place to sit, and two others were dragging their bodies back into other rooms.

The corpse was an old and a young, there was a woman, and a little baby who was a few years old. It could be seen that it was a family of four, all killed by one shot.Unexpectedly, King King randomly picked a room to come in, and there were people in it that died so miserably.

These guards are not afraid of blood or death, but there are people who deal with a group of innocent people like this, which makes people feel resentful and can't help but see.

"It's a son of a bitch, this is such a cruel hand from that bastard!" There are many rude men among the guards, who have become angry and can't help cursing.

King Jing just seemed to have not heard him, sitting there, his eyes that had always been indifferent at this time were very cold.

After a quarter of an hour, the guards sent out gradually returned.

Deputy Commander Lin Qingting, Deputy Commander of the King's Mansion Guard, went out and asked about the situation. After a while, he turned back to report to King King.

It turned out to be Tucun.

When the guards of King Jing's Mansion arrived, the men were slashing with a knife.People were divided into several waves, killing people from house to house from inside out.

"His Royal Highness, there were more than forty perpetrators. During the period when we stepped forward to stop them, someone resisted and killed a few. The rest were tied up and thrown outside."

"Are there any survivors?"

"Yes." Deputy Commander Lin paused, his voice lowered, "There are less than a dozen people, we are a bit late. When those people see someone coming to stop them, they are not afraid not to run, but get the knife faster. The guard has only time to save these ten people."

It seems that everyone in the village gathered outside this room, crying and cursing, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined.

When King Jing went out, he saw a few people dressed up as villagers kicking the assailants who were tied up.

"You depraved and inhuman things, we are guilty of what you are..." An old woman who felt like an old woman kicked her and felt her hatred, and took a stone next to her and threw it on a tied person."You pay back my son and grandson..."

The same situation also happened to a few villagers with disorganized faces nearby, all holding various things to greet the perpetrators.

The guards outside did not stop it, because many of them saw the tragic situation just now, and let others vent their hatred.It was not until he saw Wang Jing and Deputy Commander Lin came out that he stepped forward and pulled the surviving villagers away.

"Which one of you will tell you what the hell is going on? Who knows why these people came to the village to kill?"

The surviving villagers shook their heads blankly. They didn't know why, and even when someone came to kill at first, they didn't know, and they didn't ran out until they heard something wrong outside.

Some people who ran out to watch were hacked to death, and when someone killed someone, everyone ran around in a hurry.But there are too many bad guys, they are all powerless, they have no weapons, and there is no way to resist.

This group of people went from house to house looking for someone to kill. Seeing one kill another, the old and the little ones did not let go.Among them, the grandson of the crying old woman was still in her infancy, and he was thrown to death by these people. It was truly tragic.

These villagers are talking about what you know one sentence by one sentence. It seems that you have said a lot, but they are all useless words.King Jing made a gesture, and Deputy Commander Lin asked his subordinates to take the perpetrators down for questioning.

"If you know what happened, for example, what was unusual in the village before this happened, you can tell it all, so that you can help find the culprit." A guard said.

One of the surviving villagers was a fourteen-five-year-old boy crying and said, "It's useless to say it. The officials in their group are not people, they are all beasts and beasts! You can't help much, no one can help."

The guards around looked at the young man with that extremely weird look, with some silly smiles.But thinking that this village is indeed miserable, it is not easy to show another look.

Deputy Commander Lin said, "This little empress, if you know anything you can say, this is His Royal Highness King Jing. This is King King's fief. Do you think it might not help?"

The young man looked at the man called King King with a surprised look, "Are you His Royal Highness King King?"

King Jing came out this time in casual clothes, but the guards were all wearing the ritual and sanitary clothes of King King's Mansion, but this boy had little knowledge and couldn't recognize it.For any official under Jingzhou's rule, when he saw the guards of King King's Mansion, he knew that even if King King was not on the tour, he was doing things for King King.

King Jing looked at the boy's eyes and nodded.

The young man murmured: "My father said that His Royal Highness King Jing is a good person, how can you prove that you are His Royal Highness?"

A guard next to him cursed: "You kid really doesn't know Mount Tai, so your Highness still needs to lie to you, a hairy kid? Do you know the clothes on my body? This can only be worn by Jing Wangyi's guard."

The young man looked at the large group of guards around him, thinking about seeing them just now with high martial arts, cleaning up those murderous bad guys are all doing things, and seeing King Jing's expression indifferent but full of prestige, he believes eight or nine points. .

But the expression is still very hesitant, "This matter is very important, and I don't know if it is because of this that our village caused this disaster. At first, my father hesitated for a few days before leaving, and then he didn't come back."

King Jing glanced at Deputy Commander Lin, then turned and went into the room. Deputy Commander Lin followed with the boy.

"Say it."

The young man said what he knew.

It turns out that the boy's father is Lizheng in this village. This village is called Shangshan Village. It is a small village with only dozens of families.

The village is backed by Dahei Mountain and is remote. It used to be very poor. It was not until King Jing promoted the cultivation of high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes under the rule of King Jing.

In the village, men farming and women weaving have a hard time, but they are much better than in previous years.There is a good feudal lord who cut taxes on everything from snow disasters in famine years, and everyone's life is getting better.

It was very calm at first, who knew that a villager in the village went up to the mountain to pick up a stone styling pigpen.

As mentioned earlier, this Shangshan Village is backed by Dahei Mountain, which has few trees but many stones.Many villagers built houses or built pig pens and sheep pens, and they went directly to Dahei Mountain to pick up some suitable big rocks.

The stones used to build the pigpen were too big to bear, and too small to work, so he took a lot of thought and picked a basket of stones back.

When I came back to the pigpen, I found that a stone was of the wrong color. How should I say it was silver.Not all silver, but a large area of ​​silver mixed in it.

Why Dahei Mountain is called Dahei Mountain is because most of the rocks on its body are black.This suddenly picked a silver one, which was really amazing.

Many villagers came to watch the excitement, and the boy's father was also watching.

Lizheng looked at it and felt that it was not right, so he took the stone away and said to take it back for a look.

After returning home, he held the stone and wondered why there was silver in the black stone, and it was shining a piece of silver in the candlelight.Later, after not thinking about it enough, he used the most primitive method to smash the stone.

Who knows, after breaking it open, the stone is not silver, but the black stone contains a lot of grainy silver objects.

Those who can act as Lizheng have some knowledge. After hesitating for a long time at home, they still took a stone and went to the county government office in Guanshangshan Village...

In fact, when it comes to this, it is almost obvious.Nothing more, an honest Lizheng discovered something unusual and reported it to the county magistrate.

The magistrate heard Li Zheng's remarks and saw the stone that had been smashed again, so he sent someone to secretly go up the mountain to investigate.The place where I went was the place where I picked up this stone. The prefect also understood people. He brought someone who knew the affairs of the time. When he found out the important things, the prefect knew that this matter should not be neglected, but human nature is greedy. Then there will be the killing of the village behind.

Caibo touches people's hearts, and it takes human lives.

The young man here gave a rough idea of ​​what he knew, and the interrogation of the guard over there ended.Things were similar to what King Jing thought. The people who committed the crime were not ordinary people, but a team of officials from the county government and the county magistrate.

But the young man knew very one-sidedly, including the assailants who were interrogated.Although there was a general guess in his mind, King Jing still did not neglect, and went to Heishan County with his guards.

...

Many things are due to chance, because by chance, the villager picked up a broken stone, because the broken stone triggered a series of things.

What is even more coincidental is that King Jing received a report from someone who had killed someone in a snow disaster somewhere, and the person who reported the snow disaster was the magistrate of Heishan County, the envoy of the village master.

It is estimated that the prefect is thinking about heavy snow outside. It is not uncommon to see snow disasters in Jingzhou. Reporting the dead is also to ambush afterwards, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with so many people suddenly died under the jurisdiction.The front report went up, and the back sent someone to slaughter the village. If King Jing did not come this time, after the blizzard, he might have been told to hide it. Who knew King Jing had actually come.

It can be imagined that the magistrate's fate must be miserable.

A few years later, King Jing recalled this incident again, and it seemed that the only benefit was him.Of course, this is also a story.
