Chapter 97 Suppression by force

Like a heavenly general returning from the clouds, he is unparalleled in dignity and dignity.

Wang Yinchuan couldn't help but stopped and held his breath, fearing that his breath would destroy this beautiful dreamlike scenery. However, he didn't expect that Wei Ting opposite him suddenly turned around, saw her, suddenly raised a smile, and then quickly walked towards her.

come over.

"Madam, it's getting late, it's time to go home." Wei Ting walked up to her and naturally held her hand.

The gods-like figures in the sky seem to have fallen from the clouds and come to the human world.

The hallucination-like scene was shattered by a few words like the reflection on the lake, and ripples appeared in the lake in my heart. Only the warm touch of the fingertips was quite real.

"Just now, what are you looking at?" Wang Yinchuan asked.

Beside the lake is a winding path paved with cobblestones. A little further along the path is the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wei Ting held her hand and walked in front.

He had walked the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion so many times that he hardly needed to look at the road and could lead her to the gate with his eyes closed.

But he still held her tightly, as if he was holding something truly precious, and he didn't dare to neglect her at all.

Wei Ting's voice sounded like the warm sun at dusk, and he said casually, "It's nothing. I have no intention of admiring the scenery by the lake. I'm just wondering when the lady will come out."

Wang Yinchuan blinked and said angrily, "Are you waiting for me for too long and are you impatient?"

Wei Ting looked back at her, with a smile and warmth in his eyes, "No, it's expectation."

"Looking forward to meeting my wife."

Although it was a day off, Wei Ting was pulled by Wang Yun to play chess for a long time. When his father-in-law finally finished eating and was about to rest for a while, Wang Yinchuan went to Wang Baochuan's room again, leaving him alone to watch by the lake.

That tasteless scenery.

Admittedly, he had some complaints in his heart, but when he saw Wang Yinchuan come out, with the gentle smile on his face, all those complaints disappeared.

Wang Yinchuan followed behind him and hummed twice to show that he heard it.

As we walked, we soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where the carriage was already parked.

She asked, "How was your chess game today?"

"It's not good, it's terrible."

Wei Ting helped her into the car. Wang Yinchuan heard his answer and burst out laughing in front of him.

There was a smile in the corner of Wei Ting's eyes, as if he was laughing at himself, or as if he was laughing with her.

"If you can't even beat my father's shabby chess skills, how can you, General Wei, lead your troops and establish your authority in the future?"

Wei Ting said seriously, "There is no way, as the old saying goes, if you don't clean one house, how can you sweep the world. If I win, I won't be able to sort out this family matter."

When Wang Yun plays chess, if he loses, he will lose his temper.

"By the way, when I was playing chess with my father-in-law today, I talked about the refugees outside the city gate. Although those people were all pitiful people, there were also some young and middle-aged people who gathered together and formed gangs. The people inside the city

We are all very scared, and many of them went to Jing Zhaoyin to report this matter. His Majesty recently mentioned this matter and is worried about it."

Wang Yinchuan asked, "The refugees outside the city gate? That group of beggars?"

Wei Ting's voice came from outside the carriage, "Yes, even though they don't do anything bad on weekdays, they always gather together and persecute others when they don't get begging. Over time, the people also develop a sense of fear."

Wang Yinchuan blinked her eyes. She had seen those beggars before.

In the past, when Xue Pinggui had just pacified Qinglong Village, she had been to the Beggar Clan. At that time, Xue Pinggui was the second in command of the Beggar Clan and was very majestic. At that time, those people even chased her away.

The beggar gang outside the city did not have any decent accommodation. They only had thatched houses made of adobe, which were reasonably habitable. Compared with the house where Wang Baochuan lived, it could be said that it was comparable.

Wang Yinchuan said, "I took a cursory look at that group of beggars. Two months ago, there were only about fifty of them, which was not a big deal."

Among the fifty people, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. They were unable to support themselves and had no land, so they became refugees. Otherwise, they would not be oppressed by the people of Qinglong Village and unable to fight back.

"It's been two months now. I heard that there was a drought in the south and there was no harvest. Many refugees gathered and became beggars outside Chang'an City." Wei Ting said.

Wang Yinchuan frowned, "Drought in the south?"

"Yeah, but it's not very serious, so you don't know." Wei heard, "There are not many refugees, but they come from the south and are a bit vicious. Although they have become beggars and do not dare to fight against the imperial guards, they are still

Make the people afraid."

"People in the city have been in panic recently. Some people say that the refugees have three heads and six arms, and are ferocious. They are all monsters that eat people. Your Majesty also has a headache. When my father-in-law told me about this just now, I looked at what he meant, probably

We must mobilize the army and suppress it with force."

What Wei heard came from outside the carriage.

"Most of the refugees are extremely vicious people. I heard that some people have been robbed, which has attracted attention. In recent days, more manpower has been added to the patrol in the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city have been strictly interrogating."

Wang Yinchuan frowned.

She had heard about the drought in the south in her previous life, but as Wei Ting said, it was not serious. The government even opened granaries to provide relief to the victims, and the local state capital solved the drought problem.

As for the refugees who have flowed to the capital's borders, they have even affected the people in the city.

There were no refugees at all in the previous life, so why have they become more serious in this life?

Wang Yinchuan said, "Refugees were once common people, but they just lost their land and had no capital to settle down and live, so they wandered around."

"That's true, but if you gather a small number into a large number and collude with beggars, you must always be on guard against becoming the second Qinglong Village." Wei Ting said.

Qinglong Village was established by vicious refugees from the south. It had been entrenched outside Chang'an City for a long time, causing headaches for the officers and soldiers. Later, it was solved because of Xue Pinggui.

After that incident, the imperial court also became more cautious and feared that the next Qinglong Village would be born, so they planned to eradicate this scourge before it caused a catastrophe.

Wang Yinchuan said, "What my father told you was to mobilize the army and put everyone in prison?"

"I haven't said it clearly yet. My father-in-law only said that His Majesty is very troubled and there are no specific countermeasures. However, I guess that if the government has no good plan, it will be suppressed by force. Although nothing has been done yet, it will be suppressed by force.

, and it is also the safest." Wei Ting said.

Chang'an City is a capital of great hardship. There are many dignitaries and wealthy families in the city. But if the refugees provoke and collide with the nobles, it will be difficult to end the situation. Therefore, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Suppression by force..." Wang Yinchuan chewed these words carefully.
