As soon as he told Mr. Jin what he had heard, he made up his mind and went directly to the door to ask the chief of the banquet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, there is a mirror in everyone's heart.

Judging from what I know, the person who sold Jin Qiquan back then is probably the head of the banquet, but what is going on here remains to be understood.

Even if they guessed wrong, the lieutenant chief was in charge of the affairs of Shangjiu Village, and no matter how important the matter of recovering the army was, it was impossible for him not to know the inside story at all.

So, early in the morning of the second day, Old Man Jin came to Shangjiu Village.

When he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of the captain, it was the somewhat hunchbacked chief of the seat.

His cloudy eyes were a little silent, and he said softly, "You're here after all." ”

Whispering, obviously, he recognized Old Man Jin.

Xi Li Chang stepped to the side and said, "Come in." ”

Several people entered one after another, and the courtyard of the inner chief was very politely trimmed, and the ground was even paved with marble, if it were not for the scenery outside the courtyard.

They were still in the courtyard of Yuanli Town at this time.

Moreover, even the houses in the town are rarely comparable to this.

Old Man Jin didn't care about this, he followed into the hall, and said heavily: "Since the chief knows who I am, he must also know the purpose of my coming here, for the sake of being a father, please give me an answer." ”

Xi Li sat on the back of the chair and was silent for a while, before he slowly said: "They are all fathers, and I have to ......be like this."

It turned out that when the army was replenished, no one in Shangjiu Village was willing to let his sons and daughters risk death to go to the battlefield, and the cost of five taels of silver per person could be squeezed out.

When the men and horses of the army came to ask for men, there was only a box of silver, and none of them went.

In fact, this is not impossible, but at that time, the general who came to collect people was a person who admitted death, and insisted that there be three people from their village, otherwise, every family would have someone.

No, he could only return to the village with the news.

But who wants to?

Seeing that the deadline given to him was approaching, the chief of Xili, who was so anxious that he was sweating, heard a suggestion from Shiyou.

Buy people instead.

He thought that he would simply pay for it alone, buy three people to hand over on behalf of the sons and daughters in the village, and once solve the problem, and then his reputation as the chief of the village would become higher and higher.

It sounds like a simple thing, but it's a lot of difficulty in doing it.

It's easy to buy people, but if you want to replace them, you have to open up the relationship in the army, he supported the people who were on crutches and found a subordinate next to the general, but he only bought a place.

Why?

Because it's too expensive, it's not that I can't afford it, but I don't want to give it.

Buying a life is only ten taels of silver, but just one place will cost him three hundred taels before and after.

If it weren't for the property left by his ancestors, he wouldn't have been able to give so much silver.

There is only one place, and he naturally will not give it away easily, but keeps it for himself.

Three days before the deadline, he made a decision in the village.

Among the three places, one person from their family and the other two are determined by lottery.

What can the people in the village do, even if they are reluctant?

He only has two sons, and if one of them is sent to the battlefield, the villagers will only feel his righteousness and will support him more as a lieutenant.

It's just that no one knows that he sent his youngest son to join the army, but in fact, he bought an unconscious person and sent him over.

And his youngest son, with a large sum of silver on his back, went out to play and did not return home until the end of the war.

Although he is not kind, he has never regretted it, the sons of the other two families in the village will never return, if it is not for the purchase of someone to replace, I am afraid that no one will be able to come back.

"It has to be?" Old Man Jin gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, his face turned blue with anger at this time, and he said: "As the head of Shangjiu Village, you are simply the sorrow of the people in this village. ”

But no, for the sake of his honor, for the sake of his son, the whole village was turned around.

Xi Lichang's face was a little distorted, what could he do? If you don't hand over the three sons, there will be one person from every household in the whole village.

And if he doesn't set an example first, no one will stand up, others feel sorry for his son, isn't he distressed?

It just can't.

"Who sold Jin Qiquan to you in the first place?" Jin Yun asked.

Xi Li glanced at her, snorted, and said, "General Jin Qiquan Jin, what a blessing, I don't know if my son would be a general now." ”

How could he not think so, since last year, he saw with his own eyes that the man who was sent to be unconscious, and when he met again, the man who sat on a tall horse and even mighty became his unattainable general for life.

If it was his son who went back then, maybe it would ......

"You're in a demonic barrier." Old Man Jin got up angrily, he rushed forward, grabbed his shirt and lifted him up, and shouted hysterically: "Do you know how much my son has suffered to be like this, do you know how sad he is now thinking that his biological father and mother sold him for ten taels of silver?" On the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and how difficult it is to survive! ”

It's because he knows that he spent so much money.

"What are you doing, let go of my grandfather." Xi Juan listened to the louder and louder quarrels in the back room, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and walked out softly, looking at this scene, she didn't care if she would be discovered, and hurriedly ran forward.

"Juan'er, it's fine." Chief Xi stretched out a hand to block her, and said to Old Man Jin: "I know that I only tell you now, otherwise the officials will protect each other, will you be so easy to investigate back then?" Three hundred taels of silver still worked. ”

"From the moment I saw General Kim, when that man came looking for him a few years ago, I knew that you would definitely find him." The chief of the table waved away the hand that was holding him, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he sat down slowly, and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about who gave me the idea back then, and who sold your son to me for ten taels of silver." ”

The corners of Old Man Jin's mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything, and he was angry to the extreme at this time.

Xi Lichang didn't care, stretched out a finger, and said: "The same person, this friend of mine, although he has been friends with me for many years and has been a companion since childhood, it's just that he is different from me, he is not as blessed as me, there is an ancestor with a rich family, and his life is poor, ten taels of silver is very little in my silver, but in his eyes, it is a lot of money, and you also know this person." ”

Old Man Jin's eyes widened, and he didn't seem to be able to hear any sound for a while, but he heard the next two words very clearly.

"Xu Tang."
