Chapter 49: Nonsense
"Then they will be chased around by officers and soldiers, and if they are caught, they may be put in prison and tortured. Maybe we won't be given food or water......"
Xue Ji originally wanted to tell Lin Xiaochen that there would be no problem with him, but seeing Lin Xiaochen's swelling appearance, he wanted to deliberately scare her.
Sure enough, Xue Ji obviously felt Lin Xiaochen's nervousness and fear, because Xue Ji's hand that Lin Xiaochen was dragging was tight and tight, obviously scared.
"No, Ke, I trust you. Lin Xiaochen hurriedly curryed favor with Xue Ji at this time, although she was also a top agent in her previous life, and she was also strong when she first crossed over, but after being pampered for such a long time, where can she still see the sturdy Lin Xiaochen at the beginning?
Lin Xiaochen sighed in his heart, he had to strengthen his exercise!
"Shh
Xue Ji reminded Lin Xiaochen in a low voice, and then slowly moved a few tiles from the roof, so that Lin Xiaochen could clearly see the people in the house.
"What's the matter with Zhang Yuanwai, come to me so late. "It should be the local county magistrate who spoke, and the person standing next to him should be Zhang Yuanwai.
"My lord, you have to be the master for me! You don't know how strong that Wang Meng's martial arts are, he actually beat several soldiers who were patrolling to protect the safety of the people to the ground at once, if this is not care, then the people of our whole village will not be able to live in peace!"
That Zhang Yuanwai talked about his troubles with emotion, and talked nonsense with "righteous words".
What kind of king hit them, it was obviously Xue Ji and Lin Xiaoyue! What else was patrolling and protecting the safety of the people, what a bunch of nonsense!
Lin Xiaochen listened to Zhang Yuanwai's "complaints" on the roof, and scolded secretly in his heart, eager to go up and give him two slaps, so that he dared to talk nonsense.
And just when Zhang Yuanwai finished talking about his grievances, he took out a stack of paper from his cuffs, no, it should be said that it was a silver ticket.
I saw that the county order showed that it was difficult, and when I saw the silver ticket, I suddenly sat upright, and then I gave a look to the master next to me.
The master immediately understood the meaning of the county order, so he said with great righteousness, "What do you mean by this? Is this how you look at the county order, the county order has always been honest and honest, serious and honest, how can you do something unjust for the sake of your mere property!"
Zhang Yuanwai listened to it, but he didn't look scared or wanted to retreat, but said directly.
"Master misunderstood the meaning of the villain, what Wang Meng did was really a threat to the villain's life and safety! And that Wang Meng dared to injure the official, which is obviously a contempt for the adult! I hope the adult will see it. ”
"Ahem, Zhang Yuanwai is the most respected person in the village, and what he says is naturally trustworthy, and he must not be wronged by this. Someone is coming! The official ordered Wang Meng to be arrested and brought to justice quickly, and this person could not stay in the people and harm the people. ”
The county order ordered someone to arrest Wang Meng, Lin Xiaochen was excited to stop it, but was pulled by Xue Ji.
"Guoguo, look!" Xue Ji raised his head and asked Lin Xiaochen to see the collusion between the county order and Zhang Yuanwai.
I saw Zhang Yuanwai hand over the silver ticket in his hand again, and said, "It is a blessing for the people that the adults can relieve the worries of the people. ”
"Zhang Yuanwai is polite, it is the blessing of the official to benefit the people, since Zhang Yuanwai is so polite, then the official is not polite, master, take away the good students and send Zhang Yuanwai out. ”
As soon as Zhang Yuanwai went out, the county magistrate took out the silver ticket and stared at him with big eyes, golden eyes, and an obscene look on his face, as if he had seen some treasure.
Lin Xiaochen, who was watching it, felt sick in his heart, is this the parent official of the people? In this way, he blatantly colluded with the local officials, regarded human life as a mustard, and announced personal vendettas.
There is also Zhang Yuanwai bribing court officials, which is really a heinous crime! This is just what they overheard, but I am afraid that there is a bigger conspiracy.
"Okay, Guoguo, let's go back first, and the rest will depend on Lin Xiaoyue and them. ”
Xue Ji took Lin Xiaochen back first, in fact, these things are not too surprising, since ancient times, there have never been 100% honest and honest officials, and what they have to do is to minimize the degree of their corruption.
This is also in line with his and Lin Xiaochen's original purpose, to travel the rivers and lakes, travel thousands of mountains and rivers, but more importantly, to help the poor people and contribute to the bright future of Nanshan Country.
"Wang Meng, hurry up, you have been arrested by the government. Lin Xiaoyue was tired of being on the tree with Lin Xiaochen, they thought that no one would come again, but suddenly they heard someone shouting Wang Meng loudly, Lin Xiaoyue was startled, and hurriedly took the opportunity to hug Weiwei and asked her not to move.
They hid in the shadows first and did not come out, but they were just observing the reactions of Wang Meng and the officials, and when the time was ripe, they came out to rescue him.
These Wang Meng were very frightened, and then said to several officials, "A few officials, it's so late, I don't know what happened to come to the villain?"
"This is your complaint, take it to prison and take it!"
The officer, who seemed impatient, shoved a complaint into his hand, and then asked the people around him to take him away.
"Lin Xiaoyue, what can we do about this? Are we going to save him?" Lin Xiaochen watched Wang Meng being taken away by those officials who were more hateful than the ruffians and hooligans, and Lin Xiaoyue went indifferent, so he asked a little anxiously.
"Weiwei, you don't have to worry, since you are taking him to the dungeon, it means that his life is not in danger for the time being, let's go back and tell Xue Ji about this matter first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
Lin Xiaoyue first comforted, and then took Lin Xiaochen back to the inn first. Xue Ji and the others haven't sent him a message so far, which means that they should not act rashly.
The two of them took advantage of the night and quickly returned to the inn. Wang Meng's home returned to tranquility, as if what had just happened had not happened, but was just a dream.
Back at the inn, the four of them came to a room, and then each told everyone about the situation on their own side.
"This Zhang Yuan, in addition to this county order, looks like they are in a mess, colluding with each other, and not letting them pay ten times the price, it is really difficult to understand the hatred in their hearts! They have scooped so many people, they are so cruel that they are so frightened that they dare not come out at night, and they are very mean to loot the people's things, which is really hateful!"
Lin Xiaochen was very angry and very excited after listening to what Lin Xiaoyue said. He originally thought that the peaceful and prosperous era of Nanshan Kingdom depended on the integrity of all officials, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, but he did not expect that under this peaceful and prosperous era, it was an extremely dark rule.
"This Qingshui Village is just a small village, I'm afraid that they dare to do this by the bigger backers above, it's better for us to follow the vine...... Catch all their leaders. ”
Lin Xiaoyue can think the same as Xue Ji, but Xue Ji didn't say it.
After Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, she looked over with a hot gaze and found that Lin Xiaochen was looking at her with admiration, Lin Xiaoyue was very happy in her heart, and she was more confident in saying her thoughts.
"It's just that we don't have an official position around us now, so it's going to be difficult to do anything. ”
This is exactly what Xue Ji thought. They don't have a half-official position, even if Xue Ji says that he is the previous emperor, I'm afraid that he has never seen such a small place, and he won't take their words seriously at all.
This is just a small Qingshui Village, there is such a big tumor hidden, and Nanshan Country is such a big place, maybe they will go to other countries in the future, I don't know what kind of hidden dangers there will be, no one knows.
"Let's go and rest first, I'll have a way tomorrow morning", Xue Ji saw that it was getting late, afraid that everyone would not be able to stay up, so he asked everyone to go back to rest first, and he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
After Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaochen both returned to their bedrooms, Lin Xiaochen pulled Xue Ji to sit on the edge of the bed, and said worriedly, "Ke, have you really thought about it? ”
Xue Ji looked at Lin Xiaochen, obviously he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still wanted to know what he could do, so he coaxed.
"You go to bed first, and I'll tell you when you're asleep. ”
Lin Xiaochen obviously didn't react to what Xue Ji said, you went to sleep obediently.
Xue Ji looked at Lin Xiaochen's sleeping face, and leaned over her forehead and kissed her.
Sleep, it's time to take a good rest. And after Lin Xiaochen fell asleep, he turned around and left the room and disappeared into the night.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaochen stretched his waist on the bed, then turned over to the side, half of his body pressed on the person next to him, and his palm "accidentally" hit Xue Ji's face who was sleeping.
Xue Ji was woken up by a slap from Lin Xiaochen after sleeping for a while, and watching Lin Xiaochen make a gesture, Xue Ji removed her hand with "disgust".
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaochen's hand was not honest, so Xue Ji had no choice but to hug her. Seeing that she was honest, she fell asleep with peace of mind.
Xue Ji was tired from running around all night, and now she was sleeping very soundly, and she didn't realize how sweet the smile on the corner of Lin Xiaochen's mouth was when Xue Ji held her in his arms.
Xue Ji only slept for less than an hour before waking up, and when he woke up, he found that his arms were cold, and there was no Lin Xiaochen, so he hurriedly sat up and wanted to go out, but he saw Lin Xiaochen pushing the door in, holding fragrant food in his hand.
"Wake up, eat something. Lin Xiaochen looked at Xue Ji and wanted to get out of bed and told him. “
"Hmm. ”
"Ke, where did you go last night?" Lin Xiaochen sat opposite Xue Ji, watched Xue Ji eat breakfast, and asked with his head in his hands.
If Lin Xiaochen hadn't talked to Xue Ji, he would have been stunned a long time ago.
