Chapter 200: Precarious

"Bang!"

It was the sound of something falling to the ground, and everyone was startled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It turned out that Gao Qiming came in with the third basin of water, and he happened to see this scene with a weak hand, the wooden shed fell to the ground, and the water was spilled all over the ground.

"Yo, isn't this the little bastard my son calls it? I heard that it was a fish seller, but I didn't expect it to be yours. Zhao Dachuan grinned, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, "He scared grandpa, this also has to add money!" ”

When Aunt Li heard this, her whole leg became weak. Seeing that I was about to fall to the ground, I quickly stepped forward to help me: "Aunt Li." I looked at her with reassuring eyes.

Aunt Li finally stood up straight again with a white face: "Okay, what Zhao Guanren said is how much." When today's work is over, Ming'er will definitely send all the money to the house. She gritted her teeth and breathed heavily at every word.

Gao Qiming was stunned by this scene, and he didn't expect to go to the backyard to call Uncle Gao.

"That's good, wait for grandpa to go back to the house and calculate it, and let San'er send you a bill when you figure it out." Remember, you can't miss a penny. Otherwise, your bastard will be sent to the battlefield. Zhao Dachuan glanced at Gao Qiming with a smile, and the threat in his tone couldn't be more obvious.

Rely on it! It's almost unbearable.

I held Aunt Li's hand tightly, but I also knew that I couldn't fight hard now, otherwise he and the people behind him would be eyeing the Gao family fish shop. provoked this group of ruffians, and Uncle Gaochang's family would not be able to gain a foothold in this intestinal township.

But now it's not what you can do. After that, there are more things that can be done behind the scenes.

Zhao Dachuan got the result he wanted, and when he left, he kicked over the wooden sign with the name of the store standing at the door. The pedestrians passing by around curiously glanced over here, and when they saw that it was Zhao Dachuan, they hurriedly lowered their heads and hurried away, or turned their heads to look at other shops.

They are so accustomed to such things that they don't dare to say a word, who wants to go to the battlefield for such a fatal thing?

If you want to protect your family and defend the country, you naturally don't need to frown, but it has been more than 80 years since the war of the Seven Kingdoms began. Some people not only died their grandfather on the battlefield, but also their father, and there is nowhere to say about their suffering.

The kings of the seven kingdoms conscripted troops to fight, and it was the same as the rain in June, one after another, as if it all depended on the mood.

Of course, it is also possible that this is not the case. But the thoughts of those who are high up and above, that is what the common people can understand? There were many battles, the people were tired and afraid, and in the years of war, there were frequent fierce beasts to cause chaos, and people were precarious.

Naturally, everyone can hide from afar, but the law of the country is strict, and not everyone is so lucky that they can slip away from the land they are on.

If a deserted person is caught, he will not die, but men, women, and children will not escape the hardship of lifelong service. Women, the elderly, and children were subject to conscription, and men were all required to serve as long as they were fourteen years old and not more than sixty-eight years old.

Like the county to which Wugut Township belongs, except for Wugut Township, which is so remote that even the emperor can't remember the name, the other townships are still conscripted and conscripted, and no one dares to be left behind.

However, the reason why Wugut Township is so "lucky" is because of the relative of the county magistrate. Of course, it was also a relative of Zhao Dachuan, and it is said that in order to avoid the disaster of war, he deliberately moved his family and relatives from other places to Wuguen Township through the back door.

Of course, the part that lives in the capital does not move.

This person must be in power in the court, and with his protection, there will be prosperity in the township. However, it is precisely under his wing that a fanatic like Zhao Dachuan who ignores the royal law will run rampant in the market.

In other places, there are many habitual bandits in troubled times, but they all run away after blocking the road and robbing or robbing homes and houses. How can he rely on people behind him like him, and manipulate people's psychology to avoid war and chaos in the township?

I stared at the back of Zhao Dachuan smiling proudly and leaving, and my angry heart gradually became calculated. Little lady, what storms have I not experienced? It's a desperate way to get an axe in front of me!

"Shallow, this hasn't opened yet, but what can I do!" Aunt Li didn't pay attention for a while, listening to Zhao Dachuan's tone just now. You have to make a good mistake.

Gao Qiming only reacted at this time, his mouth was deflated, and he cried: "Mother...... Let's go back to the village, mother! He cried very sadly, and his eyes looked out from time to time like a frightened rabbit.

"Aunt Li, it's okay. They just said that, and they didn't dare to make much of a fuss. After all, the master behind Zhao Dachuan is still counting on scraping some oil and water in Wugut Township, if it gets bigger, everyone would rather go to the battlefield than give them money, and they won't get anything. They don't want a lose-lose outcome. ”

I freed up one hand to caress Aunt Li's back, but I was thinking about whether to start with Zhao Dachuan or from the side of the gold lord behind him.

"What's going on here?" Uncle Gao Chang in the backyard heard the movement and also came to the front hall, carrying two big fish in his hands.

The uncle was followed by a mouthful full of fishy rhubarb and erhuang, and it seemed that the two guys were eating fish in the backyard just now. I was a little speechless, the two of them were discussing how to protect Gao Qiming just now, but they forgot everything when they saw what they were eating.

But that's okay, with Zhao Dachuan's goose plucking temperament, if these two big yellow dogs rush out and hurt him, maybe he will ask for a price.

When Aunt Li saw him come in, her tears became even more fierce. However, Gao Qiming was silent, just biting his lip and not letting go, and the sobbing sound in his throat overflowed from time to time.

He knew that Daddy didn't like to see him cry. Daddy always said that a man should look like a man, don't always cry like a big girl.

Gao Qiming wiped away his tears and stood up, but he was only a teenager after all. was so frightened, can you stop crying if you want to? The tears that had just been wiped away began to fall again.

However, Uncle Gao Chang's attention was all on Aunt Li's side, and he stuffed the fish in his hand to Gao Qiming without looking, and glanced at the passers-by who were passing by outside the door with obvious expressions that were not quite right.

"the kid, what's going on?" Uncle Gao Chang wiped his hands on the cloth towel on his shoulder, and helped Aunt Li to sit on the straw mat used for temporary rest in the hall with me.

Aunt Li looked at Uncle Gao Chang with a white face: "Just now, that Zhao Dachuan came to collect the protection money for the offering, and said that he would collect more money for a trip in person, and said that he ......" She glanced at Gao Qiming, who was standing pitifully opposite with two fish.

With a sigh of relief, Aunt Li continued: "I also said that our family Qiming scared him and wanted to add money...... If you don't give it, let our enlightenment go to the battlefield to fight. ”

"......" Uncle Gao Chang was so angry that his face turned green when he heard this.
