Those who fall into bandits are generally strong young men. They ran away, but their parents, brothers, wives and children still stayed at the foot of the mountain. They could not contact them blatantly. They could only sneak back in the middle of the night and send some money and food. If the government investigates closely, maybe they won't see each other for three to five years.

Isn't the reason why they put their heads on their belts and do these shady jobs so that their relatives can live a good life? However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't withstand the oppression and exploitation of local officials. When natural disasters came, they filled their pockets with relief money and resold food at high prices. The people had only two options: drowning or starving to death.

Therefore, there was a tragedy in which the officials of all counties in Lishui Prefecture were wiped out by bandits, but no one came to commit crimes in Suichang. Because the bandits used to be good citizens, and they had relatives and friends. Seeing their relatives and friends fleeing to Suichang one after another and finding a way to survive, how could they be unhappy and grateful?

Later, the magistrate of Suichang County was in charge of disaster relief throughout Lishui Prefecture, but within a month, the displaced people had their homes and the submerged villages were rebuilt. They often stand on the top of the mountain and look at their hometown. Seeing the calm and peaceful scene below, the cattle are slowly moving, the rice seedlings are green, and the smoke is curling up, and they have mixed feelings in their hearts.

They really want to lay down their weapons, pick up their hoes, and return to their hometown to reunite with their relatives, but they are afraid that their past experience will be found out by the government and their innocent people will be implicated, so they have to stay on the mountain. However, their love for their loved ones cannot die, their wish for a better life cannot be extinguished, and their respect and love for Xiao Zhao County Magistrate are also indispensable.

The bandit dressed as a Confucian scholar was originally a scholar, and he had a good impression of scholars, not to mention that his ancestral home was Lishui, his parents, wife and children survived safely with the help of the county magistrate Xiao Zhao, and the tens of acres of fertile land taken away by the house slaves of the prefect Wang had also disappeared. Return, just need to operate seriously for a few years, and the good days will come again. He admired Xiao Zhao county magistrate very much, and often publicized his deeds to a group of brothers, making them both yearn and sigh.

Now, the legendary Bodhisattva-like figure is in front of them, how can they not be surprised? Immediately, everyone gathered around and took a good look.

The first impression is that he is thin and thin, but his appearance is as gentle as the breeze, and everything is rained down. He was a top student in high school at the age of 11. The third impression is simplicity, and all the luggage is not worth a lot of money. It is said that he donated all his wealth to resettle the victims, which seems to be true.

These bandits have been rampant in the mountains for many years. What kind of people have never seen them? Not to mention wealthy businessmen, there are not a few officials who have been robbed by them, and the gold and silver treasures found can be piled up into a small mountain. But it was the first time I saw an official like Xiaozhao county magistrate who had such a clean sleeve.

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, and seeing it is better than hearing a hundred times!" The Confucian scholar put away the official seal, bowed to You Shuna. He never expected that this young man who would fall when the wind blows is actually the blue sky above the heads of the people of Lishui, and the sun and the moon in their hearts. There is no need to check, just look at him and his luggage, and you will know that none of the rumors in the market are lies, and none of them are exaggerated praises. He is far more honest and impartial than they imagined.
