Chapter 958 Going to Taiping County
"Thank you... Thank you." Under Xie Yuan's gaze, the county magistrate stuttered for a moment and bowed, "I'm the county magistrate Liu Shichang."
Xie Yuan frowned slightly. She knew that this Zhangjiabao could exist and that the county magistrate of this county must not be able to escape from the relationship. But then she thought about it, because of the Queen Mother Bao and His Majesty, she herself tolerated it in various ways.
Why bother with a small county magistrate?
Besides, when His Majesty asked him to come, it was obvious that he would give him a chance to abandon darkness and turn to light.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan let go of his eyebrows and said in a cold voice:
"Mr. Liu County Magistrate, I will leave the matter to you later. Those serfs have to divide the land and have a place to live. These are all matters within the county magistrate's duties, so there should be no difficulties."
County Magistrate Liu nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, yes, yes, the officials must do their best to cook."
"Also, the Zhang family's property is to be confiscated and returned to the official. I have ordered someone to make a book. Go back and click slowly and put it away, and wait for Your Majesty's order to deal with it. I will take the Zhang family's family away, and Your Majesty wants to see you."
"Okay, okay, the official knows."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he took people past Liu County Magistrate and the others. First, her personal soldiers, and then the Zhang family members tied with ropes, strung into a string, and looked miserable from him.
Walk by.

...
"Your Majesty, except for the lord of Zhangjiabao who resisted and refused to surrender and died on the battlefield, the rest of the people were brought here." Xie Yuan said to the imperial chariot.
Emperor Wu Lei looked at the people kneeling on the ground, including old people, women, and a few young men, with the most women and children.
He withdrew his eyes and asked:
"The Castle Lord is dead, who knows the most about him?"
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed, and he turned his face to the side and shouted neatly:
"Zhang Shun!"
Zhang Shun, who was kneeling behind, shivered for a moment and quickly responded:
"Zhang Shun is here, Zhang Shun is here."
Xie Yuan introduced:
"This is the butler of the Fort Lord. At that time, the lord of Zhangjiabao sent him out to speak. It was probably the confidant of the Fort Lord, and he should know clearly."
When Emperor Wu Lei heard this, he glanced at Zhang Shun and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said:
"You go down, thank you for your hard work. Looking back, all the property of Zhangjiabao will be rewarded for military merits in your central camp."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Yuan bowed and responded, but hesitated for a moment without moving.
Emperor Wu Lei asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"Your Majesty... In order to persuade the surrender, I promised that those in the fort could share the land and exempt them from taxes for one year. I don't know if it could be fulfilled."
When Emperor Wu Lei saw Xie Yuan respectfully and as restrained as if he had done something wrong, his deep eyes flashed, and suddenly smiled and said to her cheerfully:
"Of course, the distribution of land itself is the court's policy, and tax exemption is also possible. These are trivial matters. You can demolish the fortress so quickly, even with my wishes. You did a good job."
Xie Yuan then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He turned around and left.
...
Xie Yuan wiped his body behind the screen and changed his clothes. Shen Liuzhen looked at her shadow outside the screen and listened to her talking.
"I am really afraid that Your Majesty will not allow you. Although you persuaded surrender to win and to die less, if you cannot fulfill it, you will be quite ashamed of those poor serfs. Fortunately, Your Majesty agreed and did not blame me.
”
Chen Liuzhen supported his chin, looked at Xie Yuan's shadow stretching his arms outstretched and putting on his clothes. He seemed to be very enjoying and narrowed his eyes slightly, took a sip of tea and said:
"Your Majesty will naturally agree. You can tell what you know, how could he not know?"
Xie Yuan turned out from behind the screen, wrapped his sleeves and looked at Chen Liuzhen and questioned:
"Why do I listen to you? It seems like... is hurting me?"
Chen Liuzhen quickly put on a bright and flattering smile and said, "No..."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he nodded instead, sat down next to Shen Liuzhen, and said honestly:
"But you are right. Your Majesty must be better than me. By the way, what do you think Your Majesty wants to ask the Zhang family? Why do you want to see them?"
The smile on Chen Liuzhen's face became smaller, and he thought about it and said:
"It's just to confirm some things and ask if it really has something to do with Empress Dowager Bao."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he turned his head in surprise and stared at Chen Liuzhen's expression and said:
"Your Majesty... I don't trust you because of the Queen Mother Bao?"
Chen Liuzhen looked up and thought for a while and said:
"That's not the case. He still had a chance of taking the Queen Mother Bao. He hoped that the news would be news, not true, so that he would feel better. Another thing is that the emperor could not listen to it in person. These are all his You should do what you should do. Only by listening to the comments from multiple sources and verifying them from multiple sources can you make the right decisions."
Xie Yuan then breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her wet hair with a cloth towel and said:
"I have learned bad things from you, so I should be more cautious in the future. You should not let Your Majesty think that we are more powerful than we are proficient. If you look back, you will be suspicious again."
Chen Liuzhen snatched the cloth towel from her hand, walked behind her, gently rubbed her hair carefully, and said warmly:
"We A Yuan are right and we all listen to you. Thank you for your hard work this time... and thank you for coming back."
When Xie Yuan heard this, he laughed out loud, turned his head and looked at him and said:
"Why is it so stingy?"
Chen Liuzhen heard that there was a shimmering light in his eyes, with warm joy. He covered Xie Yuan's hair with his hands with a cloth towel, just wrapped around her ears, as if holding her Like a head.
He remained silent and said nothing, bent down slightly, kissed Xie Yuan's forehead gently, taking care of him.
Xie Yuan was looking at him with his chin on his back. He rarely saw his face upside down in his eyes. Under the dim light, Chen Liuzhen's face was very different, and he looked very mature and affectionate. He seemed like a child. It seemed to be held in his palm.
Her eyes flashed for a moment, as if she felt that Chen Liuzhen was a little unfamiliar with this kind of Shen Liuzhen, but soon she leaned over and went over to cooperate with him, and the two kissed each other deeply.
...
...
I don’t know what the emperor asked, but the people from Zhangjiabao were sentenced to death by the emperor that day. Both the elderly and children were killed on the spot.
The next day, they went to Taiping County according to their existing plans.
Taiping County is the fiefdom given to Huashi by the emperor, and the place where Empress Dowager Bao followed her son to retire.
The guard of honor walked on the official road in a mighty manner. Before he could reach the boundary marker of Taiping County, he saw Empress Dowager Bao and many people standing on the official road waiting to welcome him.
She was wearing gorgeous clothes, with maids gathered around her, and some local officials were behind her. Apart from the unregulated imperial items, she was not much worse than the emperor's ceremonial guards.
