"Although you are on an errand, look at the age of these people, the old and the young, who has no old people and children? The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tang Hezhang persuaded the officers and soldiers who were escorted.

"The old lady is really compassionate. Do you hear it, you go honestly, don't embarrass us, and we won't embarrass you. Running in the mountains one by one, what to run. The little flag said a few words, then turned to Tang Hezhang and said, "Old lady, get on the sedan chair quickly." ”

Tang Henian was friendly with his boss and was entrusted with important tasks by the above, and this little flag didn't want to offend Tang Hezhang.

For this kind of ruffian, Tang Hezhang had no choice but to sit in the sedan chair first.

The sedan chair walked on the front foot, and there was crying and noise behind it, Tang Hezhang was anxious to see Tang Henian and ask what was going on, urging the sedan chair man to leave quickly.

In Yali, Shanyang County, Tang Henian didn't expect his old father to come at this time. When Steward Tang came to report the news, he was meeting a guest. I heard that my old father was coming, so I had to send off the guests first, stop what I was doing and come out to greet him.

Tang Hezhang sat in a sedan chair and entered the county office, Tang Henian personally greeted him at the gate, took the old father to the inner room of the county office, and just wanted his wife to take his children out to see the ceremony.

Tang Hezhang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about family etiquette first, I have something to ask you." ”

Tang Henian looked at him with a solemn face, and immediately thought of the fact that he had resigned from his official position years ago, could it be that he came to this matter in person?

He was born in two lists, and finally became a magistrate. It has been four years in Shanyang, a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters, and now he finally has the blue eyes of King Teng, and he sees that his career is very good. My father let himself resign at such a time!

Tang Henian didn't think so, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, "Father, do you have anything to say?" ”

"On the way here just now, I saw that there were officers and soldiers on the other side of the dock pulling Zhuang Ding, and they were all old people and children, do you know about this?"

Tang Henian was relieved to see that he was not talking about resigning from the official, but when he heard that he was asking about Lazhuangding, he was a little embarrassed, "Father, this matter ...... This is the ...... of the command"

"Strict?"

"You also know that the flood in Shuzhong last year washed away the road. Now Yundu can't transport grain into it......"

"If you want to transport grain to Yundu, can't you take the waterway?" Tang Hezhang asked strangely, "Besides, I heard those old people say that they have arrested three strong men this year." The imperial court lightly levied the meager endowment, when did it ever levy Ding like this?"

"Shuzhong...... Shuzhong is different from other places, and King Teng is strict. Father, I know the county ......"

Tang Hezhang was an orthodox person, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, "Shuzhong? Isn't Shuzhong under the rule of Yongding? Are you taking the imperial court or King Teng's ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a familiar commotion from outside the county office, "Go out and take a look for yourself, and see what you have arrested?" Sixty or seventy-year-old people, eleven or twelve-year-old children, these people, can these people go to build roads?"

Tang Hezhang stood up and dragged Tang Henian out.

Tang He was trained by the court at a young age, and he was a little afraid of Tang Hezhang, seeing that his father's face was red with anger, he was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly supported him, "Father, listen to me...... Listen to me......"

Tang Hezhang stopped, "Okay, I'll listen to you! Da Lang, I asked you to resign a few years ago, do you know why?"

"You said let me go home and serve ......," Tang Henian said, and the more he said, the lower his voice became......

"Da Lang, for my father, I originally wanted to protect my life. But when you see today's events, you are ashamed of your father...... Do you know that those officers and soldiers are going to be arrested even by me......

"What? Who is so bold!" Tang Henian couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard that someone dared to arrest his father, "Father, are you okay?" Son, this will arrest the one who offended you and give you anger. ”

"I'm not angry in the second," seeing that his son's concern was not a lie, Tang Hezhang comforted in his heart, "Those old people and children, you know when you see it, the situation is pitiful." They go to build roads and move stones, but I'm afraid they won't survive for a few days, how can you bear it?"

"Father, if I can't hand over a thousand strong men, King Teng will punish me for my crimes......"

"King Teng is just a vassal king, but you are an official of the imperial court. Besides, as long as you straighten things out, I will write a letter to Beijing and find a few people who speak fairly, and I can still find a father. ”

Tang Henian only felt bitter in his heart. He didn't want to disobey his father, but he still had to do the errand assigned by King Teng...... "Father, I'll take a look, if it's really the old man and the child who are caught, don't worry, I'll let them go immediately!"

"I'm going with you, I'm going to see it with my own eyes!"

"You've had a long journey......"

"It's not a moment to rest, I watched you do things with my own eyes. Why, I can't even look at it?"

"Okay, naturally, I'm afraid you'll be tired. Tang Henian said, walked to the front of the county office, and met the master on the way, he stopped and said a few words.

He walked outside the county jail, where the officers and soldiers were driving the captured strong men into the prison.

The old man and the child cried.

Tang Hezhang followed behind Tang Henian, saw these, and went to see Tang Henian again.

Tang Henian only felt that his back was roasting like a fire, and he knew that his father was looking at him from behind.

He coughed, and the officers and soldiers who were driving and beating people stopped, seeing that it was the county magistrate who came, and hurriedly saluted.

Tang Henian took a few steps forward, "How do you catch the old man and the child?"

Xiaoqi just now, replied, "Lord Yuxian, these are all found in the mountains. It's hard to find these people hiding in the mountains, but fortunately you taught the little ones to keep an eye on the women and watch them deliver food......

"Ahem, I'll let you arrest the strong men, and you will catch these people to make up the numbers?" he scolded sharply, winking.

Before the little flag could understand what it meant, the master on the side came over, "Confused, the county master is asking you to recruit strong men, you are lazy, and you actually catch the old people and children to make up the numbers!

The little flag saw that the master was talking, and while he was talking behind the county master, he looked at the old man he had seen again, so he had to respond with a sentence of "I understand, little one".

The master took advantage of the situation to pull a small flag and go out, and asked other officers and soldiers to bring people to follow.

Those old people and children dragged out like a string of rice dumplings.

"Father, I let them all go, don't worry. Why don't you go to the back hall and rest?"

Tang Hezhang glanced at him a few times, and then saw that the old people and children were untied, "If King Teng is to blame, ......"

"The prince blames it, and I bear it with all my might. As you said, my son is the county magistrate......"

Tang Henian saw that his father was suspicious, and said with some grievances, "Father, do you not believe your own son?"

Tang Hezhang was a little suspicious in his heart, but he could see that his eldest son looked at him aggrievedly. Thinking that this child is famous, but still filial, he sighed and comforted, "As a father, I naturally believe in you." ”

Tang Henian heard him say that he believed in himself, and happily helped him to the backyard in person, and asked his wife to bring his children out to visit.
