As the governor of Nanzhong, Li Hui still has necessary guards.

In addition, the identity of the other party has not yet been determined, so everyone around Li Hui was cautious. As soon as they heard Li Hui calling people, the surrounding officials and the guards outside the door swarmed up and locked down the five people on the spot.

A solid one.

Compared to their nervousness, the five people seemed to have expected it and did not resist at all. Instead, they cooperated very well and were captured by the guards.

"Is this how Governor Li treats guests?"

Although the leader could not move, his face was calm. He raised his head hard and asked.

Li Hui was a little surprised at the visitor's cooperation, then he chuckled again, twitching his beard and said, "When did a rebellious person become a guest of my Governor's Mansion?"

The visitor showed a wry smile and said, "If you don't come in like this, I'm afraid that you'll be chopped into pieces before you see Governor Li, so I have to take this step. I don't have any malicious intentions when I come here, and I ask Governor Li to take a closer look."

.”

As he said that, he found that he was pressed to death and could not move at all, "Director Li, can you let Meng take a breath?"

"You have to be careful when capturing the Meng family's tiger."

Li Hui said with a smile.

"Tiger of the Meng family?"

Wang Ping was stunned and lost his voice, "It's actually the Meng family?"

The Meng family, a wealthy family in Nanzhong, was one of the leading families in this rebellion.

Meng Huo, the head of the Meng family, was one of the leaders of the rebels.

"Yes, this person is Meng Yan, a member of the Menghuo tribe, known as the Tiger of the Meng Family in South China."

Li Hui nodded, then smiled and said to Meng Yan, "We haven't seen each other for many years, how come Brother Ang Xiong is here?"

Meng Yan looked at Li Hui's playful smile and sighed, "I only came here to leave a way for my people to survive in the future."

Li Hui sat down again, pointed at Meng Yan, and said, "Leave this person behind, and take out the rest and tie them up."

"Thank you, Governor Li, for not killing me."

When Meng Yan heard this, he quickly said.

"Don't rush to say thank you. If you don't tell me a reason not to kill you, if you don't kill you now, I will kill you later."

Li Hui said calmly.

Seeing that the bodyguard was still pressing Meng Yan tightly, with worry in his eyes, Li Hui waved his hand and said, "General Wang, stay, the rest of you, all go down."

"But Commander, if this person has evil intentions, wouldn't the Commander be in danger?"

The guard leader said hesitantly.

"Don't worry. I am also the leader of the army, and General Wang has extraordinary martial arts skills. In addition, you are guarding the door. This man is unarmed and there is no way he can hurt me."

When the guards heard what Li Hui said, they let go of Meng Yan and retreated.

"Captain Li is awesome!"

After Meng Yan stood up, he stood at a distance and held his hands, not approaching, to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Tell me, you, Meng Angxiong, are the most important person to Meng Ni. If you don't follow Meng Ni in rebellion, what are you doing here? Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"

Li Hui had a murderous look on his face.

"Yan came here this time with the intention of dying. Governor Li didn't care whether he killed Yan or not. But before he died, Yan wanted to say something. If Governor Li could listen,

, even if you die, there will be no regrets!”

There was no fear on Meng Yan's face.

"What a joke! I am the governor of Nanzhong, and you are the rebels of Nanzhong. We are already at odds with each other. How can I listen to your advice?"

Li Hui shouted sternly, "Quickly tell me your purpose of coming. This governor has never been very patient with you."

Meng Yan sighed, "Not to mention the governor, even the Han officials, how could they ever be patient with the barbarians in Nanzhong? Has the governor ever thought about the reason why Nanzhong is in the situation it is in today?"

"It's because some people harbor evil intentions and intend to stand on their own feet."

"Why did the governor only talk about one and not the other?"

Meng Yan stood up with his head held high and talked eloquently, "Nanzhong was originally a land of barbarians, and our people have grown up here for generations. The Han people came and occupied the plain land, clearing forests and burning wasteland for farming. That's all."

"But why do you look down on my people, deceive them into being ignorant, use treacherous tricks, and take advantage of others? Are there not many such things? After being oppressed by the Han people, is it possible that we are not allowed to resist?"

Li Hui sneered and said, "Are you afraid that it's you who are making treacherous remarks?"

Li Hui pointed at Meng Yan and continued, "At the beginning of the rebellion, some barbarians were dissatisfied with the traitor Yong Kai. If your Meng family hadn't spread rumors that the Han wanted to impose heavy taxes on the barbarians, how would the barbarians in Nanzhong be like this?

If you hate the big man, everyone will rebel?"

Meng Yan looked ashamed after hearing this, "This matter is just because my brother was confused for a moment. But Governor Li, if there hadn't been the Han people's clever plundering of the Yi people in the past, how could the Yi people believe this so easily?"

"In the whole world, everything is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."

Li Hui snorted, "This world belongs to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Can you barbarians stay out of it? The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is kind and virtuous, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is strict. As long as you can obey the discipline, he will not let you suffer."

Wronged."

"But if you don't obey the discipline, how can the big man protect you? You are oppressed because of the rich and powerful family, but you rebelled against the big man. What's the point?"

"But Governor Li, we Yi people have been living in Nanzhong for generations. You Han people, whether it is a wealthy family or ordinary Han people, how could they dare to enter Nanzhong easily if there was not a Han emperor who asked someone to bring troops in?

"

Meng Yan said unconvinced.

"The Han Dynasty has prestige and leads all nations. All the people the sun and the moon shine on are their concubines. Everything the sun and the moon shine on and all the rivers reach are Han. Why don't you accept it?"

Li Hui said calmly.

Meng Yan's face suddenly stiffened.

Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?

After a long time, Meng Yan sighed again, "The Han people are respected in the world, how can a villain dare to disobey?"

"It's just Governor Li. Han Chinese are all born from parents and have children. We Yi people are no different. Everyone has compassion. Can't the Han people let us Yi people live a good life?"

Meng Yan knew that his fists were not as powerful as anyone else's, so he had no choice but to be reasonable.

"If you want to be reasonable, I will reason with you."

Li Hui said slowly, "The Yi people want to live a good life, and the Han people also want to live a good life, but rebellion makes it impossible for anyone to live a good life."

"Go back and tell Meng Huo that Yong Kai and others rebelled for their own wealth and power, not for you barbarians. If you want the barbarians to live a good life, only the Han can give it to you."

Li Hui knocked on the table and emphasized his tone, "In the past, the Han people oppressed the Yi people. Didn't the Yi people themselves bully the Yi people? After all, it was not all the fault of the wealthy families in Nanzhong? It's just that most of the wealthy families were Han people.

, that’s why we say that the Han people bully the Yi people.”

"Although you, Meng Yan, are not Han, you can still be considered a member of a wealthy family in Nanzhong. I don't need to explain the reason. If you really want the Yi people to live a good life, you can take Shuzhong as an example."

"In the past, before the late emperor entered Shu, the wealthy and aristocratic families also acted wantonly and occupied the mountains and invaded the swamps. The people in Shu were also oppressed by them."

"But now if you look at Shu, which wealthy family dares to do this? The Prime Minister enforces the law strictly. If you Yi people are willing to return to the Han Dynasty, I believe the Prime Minister will not let you be wronged again."

As a political figure, Li Hui naturally understood who the barbarians Meng Yan was talking about were.

To put it bluntly, they are all local leaders and the like.

At this time, Nanzhong, in addition to areas close to the Han county, also had tribal villages in many places, still in a primitive society.

The headman has all rights, and much of the population is even considered property divided under the name of the headman.

So Nanzhong is called a barbarian land, not without reason.

It's a pity that the leader is the king and hegemon in his own tribe's village, but when he encounters the more advanced Han tycoons, he can only shrink back and become a bastard.

As I said before, a fist as big as a sandbag will ask you if you are afraid of it?

If you can't defeat someone, you should be a coward, or you'll be dead.

"The villain's brother..." Meng Yan wondered, "The villain is really not sure that I can convince you. But the villain has some reputation among the tribe, and there are still many people who are willing to obey the villain's control."

"So I came here this time just to ask Governor Li to tell me that as long as we can no longer be oppressed by the Han people, I am willing to lead my tribe to join the Han people."

"Haha," Li Huiqiang suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm, "The rule of the Han and barbarians in South China is a national policy decided by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I agree to this?"

"Captain Li controls Nanzhong. I don't dare to intercede for all the barbarians in Nanzhong. I only hope that the governor can protect the villain's tribe for the sake of him leading his tribe to become a Han."

There are many tribes and villages of the Yi people in the south, and Meng Yan's own tribe is one of the larger ones.

He had said so much before, but in the end he just wanted to find a way out for his tribe.

As for other people, how can he control so much?

"Meng Angxiong, since you have said this, I also want to ask. The rebels in the south are making a big fuss now, and you are the most important person of the Meng thieves. Why did you suddenly wake up?

Woolen cloth?"

Li Hui asked slowly.

This matter was of great importance, and Li Hui had to ask clearly.
