Chapter 333 Openness (Part 2)
After looking at many people for a while, Li Ling turned his eyes back to the main owner: "The white-headed man is worthy of being the leader of the local villages, and his vision is much higher than that of ordinary people. I think you should be able to understand that what you are saying below is not a false threat, right?"
"Hmph, do you want to use Dingxi Army to suppress me?" Bai Xianhe also had a little anger on his face and hummed. Seeing the problem does not mean that he would agree with the other party's statement.
Li Ling quickly waved his hand: "I have no intention of this, and the white-headed people are also a little misunderstood. The safety of the villages I am referring to is not that the Dingxi Army will be detrimental to you, but that there are other enemies."
"Well? What do you want to say? Just say it straight, we are not you Han people, and you always like to go around the corner!" Bai Xianhe felt a little strange, but he couldn't help but go around with it, so he went straight to the point.
Li Ling nodded: "Then I'm sorry to say it bluntly. I wonder if the white-headed man and you have heard that something went wrong in Qianzhou some time ago?"
"Are you referring to the Xunyang Rebellion?" Bai Xianhe said, and glanced at Liu Xu. He had only known this through this person.
Li Ling immediately caught this glance, glanced at this guy who was obviously different from others, and said, "That's right. The Xunyang Rebellion before the New Year has caused chaos in Qianzhou. The Long family, which originally occupied the entire land, has suffered a great damage. As for the barbarians and tribes involved in it, they have paid an extremely tragic price. Not to mention anything else, just attacking Xunyang and attacking various prefectures and counties, they have to suffer a considerable casualties. I wonder what you think?"
Before Bai Xianhe answered, someone sneered on the side: "That's worth the money. Just this little sacrifice can be exchanged for control of the entire Qianzhou. Even if I ask me to choose, I won't hesitate."
Li Ling smiled: "Yes, if you really count this, this transaction is not a loss. But don't forget that whether it is Qianzhou or southern Yunnan, it is still the territory of our Dayue. Perhaps the court can allow the Long family to be a local official in Qianzhou and call for the wind and rain. But if they really feel unjust, especially when they get mixed up with some of the court's confidants, it is impossible to turn a blind eye as before. Everyone, don't just look at the present, but look at it for a long time."
The others just snorted coldly, seemingly disapproving, but Bai Xianhe's expression had changed a little. He obviously understood the meaning of Li Ling's words, and his eyes glanced at Liu Xu and the entanglements between Luo Tian Sect and the government. Of course, he had heard of some of the conflicts.
"Now, let's look at southern Yunnan, I won't talk about it elsewhere. In Kunming, do you really think that this major change in Xunyang can be reproduced? Just relying on a few thousand tribes in Jinning, I want to conquer the city and dominate the other side? I'm afraid that the Dingxi Army has just joined forces. As for the final result, I don't need to say more, right?"
"After all the time, aren't you trying to scare us with the Dingxi Army?" Someone slapped the table with some annoyance and shouted, but his tone was not as tough as before.
"No, I'm just saying a fact that will inevitably happen, without any intimidation." Li Ling shook his head, "In fact, the right to choose this time is still in your hands. Are you willing to live peacefully with the government, and then both sides work hard to live a better life so that the tribe members can have a richer life, or take risks and use the deaths of countless tribes to exchange for an opportunity that does not exist at all?
"I know you will say that there is only one Dingxi Army in southern Yunnan after all, but there are hundreds of your barbarian villages. Once a war breaks out, even if the Dingxi Army comes out in full swing, it will not be able to completely resist it. But you must understand that it is something that will be the case after the situation is expanded in the future. By then, I am afraid that the first batch of people who invade the crime will have already been broken into the village and their heads will be hung above the city. Is this really the result you want to see?
"What's more, even if the Dingxi Army really cannot control the overall situation, can you succeed? The southwest is a territory that the Dayue court will never give up. Once you really dare to rebel, the imperial army to quell the rebellion will inevitably gather in a short period of time.
"Don't think that Qianzhou is blocking there, and there are still 100,000 mountains to support you, which is enough to make you defend yourself. In fact, compared to the Dayue court, the southwest is only a corner after all. When Mount Tai is pressed down, the consequences will inevitably be that all jade and stone will be burned. It's not that I'm talking to scare you, but that day, you will be destroyed by the entire barbarian clan.
"So, now your clan is born or died, exist or dies, and it is only between your thoughts. I think the importance of it is definitely better than an outsider, and you will definitely be able to make the wisest choice."
After Li Ling finished speaking this time, everyone in the hall was no longer in a hurry to threaten or refute, and they all fell into deep thought. They might be a little reckless and straightforward, but they were definitely not fools, otherwise they would not be able to become the leaders of the village. Even if they were illiterate, they would still be no worse than those of the officials of Dayue.
Bai Xianhe looked at Li Ling after pondering for a while: "So you said so much here, just advise us not to be instigated to mess with others?"
"Of course it's not just that." Li Ling was sure of this question, and obviously his words had an effect. "This is just a little bit of his own opinion. His real purpose was to be entrusted by the magistrate of Yin County, Jinning, and wanted to invite the white-headed man to come to the city for a lecture and attend a public trial."
This sudden turn really made everyone unable to keep up with the rhythm. After a moment of stunned silence, someone shouted: "What do you mean? I want my leader to go to the county town and let you take him down and threaten us?"
"No, Xiahe County Magistrate Yin has no intention of being unfavorable to the white-headed people. On the contrary, this is the government who wants to express an attitude to you. Whether it is Han and Barbarians, they are actually my Dayue people, and they are all under the rulers who need to be governed and taken care of by Yin County Magistrate Yin. Although some problems have occurred in the county town recently, they are all instigated by people with ulterior motives. What we need to do now is to resolve these misunderstandings and let Jinning return to peace."
"Hmph, you said it nicely, but who knows what purpose you are doing?" One person raised questions again. Then, others followed up: "Yes, the Han people have always been cunning, especially those who are officials, which are even more unreliable. The leader, we cannot be deceived by them."
"The head man, Bai Zhu died in Jinning City. How could this grudge be forgotten?"
Bai Xianhe, who was already a little moved, became hesitant again, and looked at Li Ling again, waiting for his reply. Li Ling looked directly at him, looking calm: "Blackheads, if we really have evil intentions, we would not have been appointed by the imperial court, but only sent an ordinary servant to pass on the message.
"As for Bai Zhu's death, his body was found outside the city, and when it was discovered, he was with an official and his family in the county government. This matter itself is strange. It is probably what those behind the scenes did to frame it, but it has nothing to do with the government."
"Are you an official in the court?" Bai Xianhe was a little surprised and looked him up and down a few more times. Although this young man looked extraordinary, it was really difficult to get him into contact with officials. After all, he was too young and was too brave. In the past, no court officials dared to run into his village like this.
"If I have a fake replacement, I have jade plaques in the court and related documents to prove it." Li Ling was not vague and immediately lit up the jade plaques in his arms and a document. He always carried these things with him, even if he came here, he had not taken them away.
Bai Xianhe took Li Lingliang's identity certificate and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't tell the reason. After all, he was just the leader of the barbarian village outside the small county in the southwest. After all, he didn't have enough knowledge, so he naturally could not recognize the authenticity of these official documents. But just looking at Li Ling's calm confirmation, he really believed it 80%, and at the same time he had a vague decision in his heart.
Liu Xu had quickly noticed this and was immediately anxious. Who would have thought that he was about to succeed, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly jumped out and wanted to ruin his big business! He could no longer sit idly by and shouted, "Slowly! Baitou, leaders, you really have to be bewitched by him, regardless of the dignity and life and death of the village and tribe members? Then Bai Zhu's death is still in front of him. If he really believes his lies, only more tribe members will be harmed by these cunning Han people in the future!"
His statement really played a role. Many people became suspicious again, and some even whispered: "Yes, you must find out the murder of Bai Zhu. Since he was killed in the county, it must have nothing to do with the government. Even if it was not theirs, it must be done by some Han people!"
Seeing that the situation was getting better and suddenly changed, Li Ling frowned and looked at Liu Xu who was causing trouble: "Who is your lord?"
"Hmph, I don't have to hide it from you, Luo Tian Sect, Liu Xu!" After reporting his identity, he looked at Bai Xianhe again, "Baishou, when I went up the mountain the day before yesterday, I told you that these Han officials are the best at lie, you can't be fooled by them. He says it nicely now, but as long as you believe it, if you really go to the county town, you will definitely be beaten up by them! The death of Bai Zhu is the best proof. I came to inform you immediately after I knew the news in the morning, and it would never hurt you!"
When the leaders heard this, they whispered again. Li Ling felt a headache when he saw this. At this moment, Yang Chen's voice came from behind: "What did you say just now? You were the village you went to the day before yesterday and told the Baitou that Bai Zhu was killed?"
