At this time, two small soldiers came over with big swords, and the momentum of the two people was menacing, and it was not easy to provoke at first glance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the big men pointed to a few old men: "What are you old people talking about? We came to collect grain on orders from above, and you are not afraid of being arrested and sent to prison?"

The old man in gray was still very angry, and he was about to stand up and reason, but the old man in green cloth next to him grabbed him.

But the little soldier didn't plan to do that, so he drew his sword and said to them, "You dare to disobey the orders from above?"

At this time, Xiao Jin hurriedly took out a few pieces of broken silver, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said to the two little soldiers: "Two officials, don't be angry, this person is old and confused, and what he says can't be counted, you can drink some wine to dissipate your anger." ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and there is still silver, in this village they can't get any oil and water, because there is an order not to forcibly occupy the people's things, this someone sent silver, the two of them are still angry, hurry up to take the silver.

"Even if you know each other, you look a little stumbling, but you understand. You old things, don't talk nonsense, let me hear it next time, I'll have to take you away. The two little soldiers took the silver and bit it in their mouths, and left with a wicked smile on their faces.

The old man in green cloth stood up and waved at Xiao Jin: "Write more about this son to relieve a few of our old men." "This old man in a green shirt looks a bit of a status, and he should be the oldest in terms of age.

Xiao Jin waved his hand politely: "Old man, you are polite, they are all from the same village, how can you let outsiders bully you." ”

The old man in gray was still angry, and this temper was not easy to contain: "That's a good word, this is cowardice, what's the use of giving the money to those brutes?"

The old man in the green shirt pulled the old man in gray: "You old man, you have a bad temper, people have helped you, you don't thank you, but you talk about it." ”

Xiao Jin looked at the two old men and smiled: "Two old men, I understand your feelings, it's just that there is something strange about this matter, the emperor can't help but send someone to investigate, and he will definitely give everyone an explanation when the time comes, just bear it if you can bear it now, don't lose your life in such a daze." ”

The old man in the green shirt was more calm in his heart, and he stroked his beard: "This son is right, our Fengnan Kingdom has always been a country and a peaceful country, and I believe that this matter can be solved." ”

"What's the solution? The emperor is far away in the palace in the capital, how can he know about our little ravine, haven't you seen those officers and soldiers? Aren't they all for the emperor?" This old man in gray is indeed a short-tempered and straightforward person.

"Old man, this officer and soldier are not directly ordered by the emperor, if there is corruption and bribery, or if they come out behind the emperor's back to do evil, doesn't the emperor also need time to investigate?" Xiao Jin can't let this innocent person get hurt, but he can't let them lose confidence in the emperor.

The old man in the green shirt was very polite: "Childe is right, but you said that you are from our Shangling Village, why don't the old people know you?"

"The old man doesn't know if he still remembers Hu Jinshi? I am Hu Xuan, the son of Hu Jinshi, and my sister and I came back to the grave, but I didn't expect to meet this incident. Xiao Jin hurriedly replied.

The old man in the green shirt looked at Xiao Jin's face, and then nodded: "This Hu Jinshi's son is so old, your family has been gone for several years, and there is no news, why did you remember to go back to the village at this time?" Although he also had opinions about the Hu family in his heart, his face was still kind.

Without waiting for Xiao Jin to speak, the gray-clothed old man spat at Xiao Jin and Xuan Miao'er: "The ungrateful family, even the ancestors don't want it, what's the use of coming back and pretending to be a good person at this time?"

The old man in the black-clothed little coat, who had not spoken all the time, also spoke: "I thought that this little boy was a sensible person, but it seems that he is pretending, a person who has forgotten his book, what kind heart can he have." ”

Xiao Jin was speechless at this time, feeling that this Hu family was really bad, but he had to thank their family, if their family hadn't come back for more than ten years, how could he have this identity back?

Xuan Miao'er saw that this situation was unfavorable to Xiao Jin, and quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes and cried: " Several old people don't know, my father got sick when he arrived in the capital, which can't get out of bed at all, and he hasn't officially taken office, he has been saying that he wants to come back, but this body is useless, the year before last he went out of the city in a carriage, but he didn't come up and almost disappeared, my brother has been almost undressed to serve around these years, my father is talking day and night about our good Shangling Village, how can my father be worse this year, I'm afraid I can't get through this winter, so I want us to come back to see my homeland, and bring him a handful of family soil, that's it……”

Speaking of this, Xuan Miaoer hid her face and cried, crying hoarsely, the listener was sad and the listener was crying, crying while talking here, the atmosphere was even more miserable.

Xuan Miaoer and Xiao Jin came out today, and they also wanted to quickly spread the news that Hu Jinshi did not take office, because the words of the people in this village are the fastest, and if it spreads out like this, it will also make those officers and soldiers feel at ease with them, otherwise they know that it is Jinshi's children who come back, then they promise to worry that Hu Jinshi will find out and report to the court, or say something, but if it is a person who has not taken office, has been bedridden all the year round, or even is about to die, it will be fine, and the person will be gone, so how can he care about this.

Xiao Jin didn't expect Xuan Miaoer to have these two moments, he had to believe what he said, and made it very clear that Hu Jinshi did not take office.

The old men were also a little moved, and they stopped talking about the wind and cold.

The old man in the green shirt nodded: "I'll just say that although Hu Jinshi is silent, he is not a cool person, and everyone has blamed him all these years." ”

The old man in gray looked at Xiao Jin's face: "This child's face is still like this, fortunately, he is well-read, otherwise it would be difficult to please his daughter-in-law." "This person is anxious and straight, this is really thinking of what to say, he praises people for this, but it is ugly to say it.

Xiao Jin touched his face and said that he was very innocent, but he also had to accept that he was Hu Xuan now.

The old man in the green shirt and cloth slapped the old man in gray: "Can you say something nice with this mouth, how good this child is, you can't judge people by their appearance." ”

Xiao Jin and Xuan Miao'er still wanted to ask more about the collection of grain, so Xiao Jin hurriedly dragged the topic back: "It's okay, I'm used to my face, it's good not to scare people, by the way, a few old people, do you know that this collection of grain comes to the government of our town?"

"You know, what about the county Cheng is still here?" the old man in gray was still fast-talking. (To be continued.) )
