Chapter 247: Refusal

Here Li Gao's quarrel everyone has a headache, but on the other side, Wang Ping has hit a wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the head of a village, although it is only a small village, he has come to the yamen many times, and he usually has the opportunity to go to the yamen two or three times a year.

This year alone, he has made two trips for the Jin family.

One trip was for Xianghan's household registration, and the other trip was for the Jin family to buy land.

Not to mention anything else, at least the master of Yuanli Town can recognize him well, he is just a small village chief, naturally he can't see their parents, the official county commander, and every time he receives it, it is Master Wu.

When you see the previous side, you naturally have to be filial and filial, although it is not much, but you can't lose your courtesy.

Fortunately, the people in the village are also real, every time they ask him to do something, they will give him something, he can not only borrow flowers to offer Buddha to honor the master, but sometimes he will fall behind.

And today, he is at a loss.

Wang Ping felt that today was full of black clouds, and he was unlucky.

When he left the village, he knew that today's events were not going to turn out, and when he went out, he took a lot of money at home, in addition to paying the medicine expenses to the villagers, but also to pay filial piety to the people of the yamen.

The master alone is naturally not enough, and those officials who accompanied them back to the village to fight wild beasts, those are also ruthless characters.

also counted on the official messenger to return their village to a peaceful place, so they naturally had to live and wait, and it was inevitable to be filial, otherwise people would go around the village, and they would go home regardless of whether they hit a wild beast or not, and it would not be impossible for them to happen.

Wang Ping also knew that today's things were not easy to do, so he was very ruthless, so he was willing to spend this money.

In the end, he is still reluctant to take this position as the chief, otherwise he will definitely give up.

But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't give away any money now.

Wang Ping was a little dumbfounded, he trembled slightly and said: "Master Wu, I can't do it now, the beasts in the back mountains are fierce, and there is nothing to be done by relying on the men in our village alone." ”

As he spoke, he reached over and tried to quietly pass the money bag over.

Even if there were just the two of them in the room now, he didn't dare to do it too brightly.

But unexpectedly, before the hand was handed halfway, it was blocked back, Master Wu's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Chief, what are you doing, how can the old man be such a person who sees money, but now the yamen is understaffed, and there is no one to come for the time being. ”

You can't ask for the silver you gave away, how can Master Wu feel good in his heart.

But it was precisely the limelight that he had to be more cautious.

The words in his mouth are not false, a group of strangers came to the yamen the day before yesterday, but their identities shocked everyone, and the county magistrate told them again and again, those people are in Yuanli Town for a day, and they are all cautious for a day.

The yamen already had a small number of people, and now they had to arrange guards to protect those people, and they had to strengthen the patrols in the town, so they were worried that someone would make trouble at this juncture.

Where did you get the effort to take care of the affairs of a small village?

"But, master."

Wang Ping wanted to say more, but Master Wu raised his hand to stop him, his face showed a trace of impatience, and said: "Okay, Wang Lichang, the old man of Sanhe Village will definitely keep in mind, you can rest assured to go home and wait for the news." ”

If I go back now, maybe tomorrow the beasts will descend again, and at that time, I don't think it will be as easy as a few injuries.

The beasts are cunning, and they can't please today, but they will definitely take revenge in the future.

Wang Ping was suddenly sweating profusely, and his heart was even colder, and he was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.

Master Wu won't waste time with him, and he will send off the guest with the teacup.

I didn't feel embarrassed to be kicked out, I just felt a chill on my back, and I was more worried.

The herd of beasts was none other than several ferocious wolves.

Wild wolves are mainly in groups, and there are only less than ten horses coming down the mountain this time, but what about next time?

Just a few years ago, someone once happened to encounter a wild wolf pack on the back mountain, and he didn't know whether they were full or in a hurry, but they swept with those fierce eyes, and the wolves left.

The wild wolves are extremely vindictive, unless they are scared, otherwise there will definitely be a second time to descend the mountain.

If you really have to wait until that time, Sanhe Village will be finished.

Wang Ping turned his head sideways, he had a thick pleading, but Master Wu held the teacup with both hands, not giving a trace of a look.

There was an entourage outside, and when they saw the people inside coming out, they took them out of the yamen.

Along the way, Wang Ping was a little confused, he walked down the stairs, looked at the villagers who came up, and could only shake his head in disappointment.

One of them said angrily: "What kind of parent official is this, isn't it enough to wait for all the people in our village to die?" ”

"Silence." Wang Ping raised his head sharply and scolded.

Even if he thought so in his heart, he shouldn't have said such a thing at the door of the yamen, even if he wanted to say it, he had to say it quietly somewhere.

Although the man's face was uneven, he snorted lightly and did not speak again.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, since the official doesn't care, we can only rely on ourselves." The old village chief said, he was frightened all the way, and now he retreats softly, but fortunately, there is someone behind him to support him, otherwise he will not be able to stand even with a cane.

"Wild wolves, how can they be so easy to deal with, even if we want to, how can we fight them with sticks and hoes at hand." Wang Ping sighed, his mind was like a mess, and he had no idea at all.

"Isn't Uncle Jin's family an iron shop, it's a big deal that we can scrape together some silver to build weapons from him."

"Nonsense, although there is no source of the weapons above, but the number of them still has to be filed in the yamen, do you think the yamen is so registered for us?"

Naturally, it is impossible, otherwise how to write it when filing? Write that because the officials can't make a move, they can only do it by the people in their village?

Although this is the case, if you think about it a little, you know that the county decree will never let such a result appear on the official document of the yamen.

"Forget it, the female dependents in the village, as well as the older elders, it's best to move out first and come back when they are stable." Wang Ping said, if he wasn't the lieutenant chief, he would definitely hide out as soon as possible, he knew the horror of the beast, so he naturally didn't dare to go hard.

But after enjoying the delicious food brought by the governor for so many years, it's time to pay off the bill.

"For the rest of the people, we will live in the ancestral hall first, and then slowly figure out a way." Wang Ping explained sentence by sentence.

It's not that they don't want to run, but Sanhe Village is their only home, and where can they run, the only thing they can do is to protect it. (To be continued.) )
