The sun shines brightly in the Central Plains in early October, and the wheat fields are already ripe, just waiting for the farmer's sickle to harvest. At this time, the Central Plains has high sky and clear clouds, and the fields are green and full of business. On the official road in Luoyang, five cavalrymen trotted all the way, rushing to

Luoyang City.

These five riders are Chen Ziang, Wei Da and others. They returned to Luoyang from the south after a long journey.

In addition to Chen Ziang who was full of thoughts, the two sisters Jiao Huiqing, Wei Da and Zhou Meier were laughing endlessly. They spent more than half a year running around and going through dangers, but finally turned the corner, which was a wonderful and long experience. Now that they have returned to the bustling metropolis, they see familiar scenes again.

Nature is exciting.

The five of them walked through the streets together, but saw a group of people crowding in front of them. Jiao Huiqing squeezed in first, and there was a notice recruiting soldiers, which read: "The war in the northwest is urgent, and our court has been repeatedly violated. The imperial court is urgently recruiting young people.

Those who are strong should join the army and defend the territory. Those who are interested should go to various recruitment offices to sign up."

The onlookers who were determined to go met in groups and said: "Tomorrow we will go to enlist in the army. It is better than eating here for free." Someone responded: "Exactly! Even though the desert is thousands of miles away, they cannot be allowed to invade wantonly.

"Let's go, we'll go tomorrow, the one who doesn't go is the turtle bastard." Several young men made an appointment with each other and went home to make preparations.

Jiao Huiqing smiled and said: "The people in Luoyang have more backbone than the people in Xiangyang, and they are not greedy for life. Lao Jiao admires them." Chen Zi'ang also said: "If the General League had not arranged something important, I would definitely sign up to go to Shanyu Road, and

Qin Bashan fights for three hundred rounds!"

Wei Da pointed to the street in the distance and said: "Look, look!" Everyone looked and saw a team walking in the distance, with two tall horses in front, followed closely by a bamboo sedan, and two tall horses behind the sedan.

, the sedan chair was carried by four sturdy monks with lowered eyes.

The street was originally crowded with people. When they saw the bamboo sedan, everyone stepped out of the middle avenue and let it pass slowly. Some people even knelt down in the street and clasped their hands. The horseman was arrogant, but the people were respectful to the bamboo sedan.

It's as if there is magic in that bamboo sedan chair.

As the sedan approached, people said one after another: "Master Shenxiu is here, it's Master Shenxiu!"

Jiao Huiqing said: "Is it that Shenxiu of the North and the Shenxiu of the Nan Huineng?" Wei Da recalled what he saw and heard on the streets of Luoyang last year and said, "I'm afraid, his martial arts internal strength is very high."

Zhou Meier raised her tongue and said: "Huineng's martial arts are unfathomable. Shenxiu is as famous as him, maybe just as powerful." Chen Ziang said: "It should be that Shenxiu is more famous than Master Huineng, and now he has become the emperor's master again." Zhou Meier sighed.

He said: "Every emperor values ​​him, because he is really capable of equaling the sky."

Suddenly a man dressed as a farmer rushed out from across the street, stopped in front of two big horses clearing the way, leaned down and kowtowed and shouted: "Master Shenxiu, save me, I have a grievance to tell you!" A knight raised his arm and pointed at him.

He opened his eyes and shouted: "If you have any grievances, you can go to the Yamen to file a complaint!"

The farmer shouted: "If there is a place to redress grievances, I will not come here to stop the master! Please make the decision for the little people!" The sedan chair stopped, and a deep voice came from inside, saying: "Please take your time.

Come on, I'm listening."

The farmer leaned on the ground and said: "I am a farmer in the suburbs of Luoyang. Half a month ago, I was falsely accused by the village leader Li Qinghe, saying that my land was his family's land and he wanted to take it away. Please ask Master Shenxiu to make the decision for the people!" The man in the sedan chair

He said slowly: "Oh - do you have the land deed as proof?"

The farmer kowtowed repeatedly and said: "That day I argued with Li Qinghe about the land deed, but he threw it to the dogs, leaving the villain without any proof."

In the early Tang Dynasty, the land equalization system was implemented. According to the number of males in each household, officials and nobles allocated farmland to each household. The court imposed various restrictions on the purchase and sale of land, ensuring the basic living and work of farmers, which was the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

.However, the land equalization system is often undermined by local powerful people. This farmer’s complaint is a typical example.

The curtain was opened, revealing a kind-hearted seventy-year-old monk. Chen Ziang looked at Shenxiu carefully, his face was rosy and he was full of energy. He thought to himself: It seems that Shenxiu is not a cunning person, but he has practiced martial arts to control people's minds.

, it’s really weird.

Shenxiu said: "Okay, I am free today, you take me to find Li Cunzheng, and I will naturally give you an explanation." The farmer leaned on the ground, and after hearing the words, he said repeatedly: "Master can ask about the affairs of the common people.

This is a blessing brought by small people. I will take all the adults there right away."

Shenxiu put down the curtain, the four guards loosened their reins, and the four horses spread their hooves, guarding the bamboo sedan, and followed the farmer to look out of the city. There were many people watching the excitement, so they followed behind and went to the village with Shenxiu.

Jiao Huiqing said: "It's so lively, should I go and see it too?"

Zhou Meier said: "Okay, I also want to see what this imperial master is capable of." The five people followed and walked out of the west of Luoyang City. The land in Luoyang is fertile. In addition to wheat, there are also sesame, soybeans and other crops growing in the land.
