Chapter 253

"Auntie, excuse me!"

In a village outside Fengyang City, an eldest lady was washing clothes by the pond, and the eldest lady was in rags, completely ignoring the icy pond water.

At this time, four people walked into the village, and they all looked at the eldest lady with a smile, and one of the middle-aged people asked.

The eldest lady looked up at the people who came, and saw that these people were dressed very carefully and did not look like poor people, so she looked around vigilantly, and then continued to wash her clothes, ignoring them.

It was Zhu Youzhen, Li Dakai, Qinglong and A Qing who came, in order not to attract the attention of some people, they didn't bring many people.

Seeing that the eldest lady ignored them, Zhu Youjian Ah Qing made a look, Ah Qing immediately understood, walked to the eldest mother's side, and smiled sweetly:

"Auntie, don't be afraid, we're not bad people."

Ah Qing said and took out a piece of silver and put it in the eldest mother's wooden basin.

The eldest lady looked down and saw that there were three taels of silver ingots, and she showed a smiling face at that time, and three taels of silver could make their whole family not starve for two months.

"Girl, put away the money, although the eldest mother is very poor, she will not ask for other people's silver casually."

Although the eldest lady said so, her eyes were fixed on the silver.

Don't say that people are poor and short-minded, it was normal for people to starve to death at that time, in order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, the eldest lady did not have a handful of silver to pack, which was already considered a good control.

Zhu Youzhen also stepped forward at this time and said with a smile:

"Auntie, put away the money, we have no bad intentions, we just want to inquire about something."

The eldest lady still confiscated the money, but her attitude was much better:

"What do my old women know, just say anything, and the old woman will tell you what she knows."

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"Auntie, there seem to be very few people in the village, there are so many fertile fields in front of me that are not planted, where have they gone?"

The eldest lady sighed:

"Alas, no matter how much land there is, it has nothing to do with us, it is all military field, which belongs to the officers of the guard, and they at first preferred to waste it than to plant it for us, and now we would rather ask for food than plant.

Our family is also a military household, and our son died in the battle against the rogues, and later the military land was occupied by them, and they couldn't even eat enough to work for them.

The food distributed by each family is only enough to eat for two months, and at other times they all rely on begging for food, and the people in the village have gone to other places to beg for food, of course, there are not many people to see. ”

The eldest mother's words suddenly made Zhu Youzhen feel as if he had been pricked by a needle, and in order to figure out the situation, he still asked:

"Auntie, do you mean that the military family also escaped?"

Ma'am:

"Well, my own land has been encroached upon, and I still have to farm for them, and I don't give them much food, I can't let my family starve to death, many military families have fled with their families, and it would be good if a guard post could now have a small half of the people in the past."

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to ask any more, and if he continued to ask, he would kill someone.

Sure enough, it is similar to the historical record, the military households are gone, and they apply for a lot of military salaries, and they can eat so many empty salaries.

Pretending to grope in his sleeves, Zhu Youzhen took out ten taels of silver from the system warehouse and put it in the wooden basin of the eldest lady:

"Auntie, thank you for telling us so much, and thank you for your son's contribution to defending Fengyang, you can use this silver to support your family.

In addition, inform the village that those who are begging for food can come back, and you will soon have your own fields.

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he got up and left without waiting for the eldest lady to react.

After a while, the eldest lady came back to her senses, looking at the dozen taels of silver in the wooden basin, her tears flowed down her cheeks, and her knees fell to the ground against Zhu Youzhen's back.

"Good man, it's the first time I've met such a good person when I'm so old, my wife will kowtow to you."

The eldest mother said, kowtowing three times in a row, expressing her gratitude to Zhu Youzhen and them, their family will not starve this year, thinking of the old man who starved to death last month, tears slipped again.

"Old man, if you leave a few days late, you won't starve, woo woo ......"

After getting on the horse at the entrance of the village and walking for a while, Zhu Youzhen stopped next to a large piece of fertile land.

Wheat is still grown in the fields, and all the canals around the fields are badly damaged and dilapidated, and even if there is a small river not far away, there is no water to use when there is a shortage of water.

Zhu Youzhen was in a heavy mood, and he didn't say a word and got on his horse and hurried away, but as soon as he entered the city gate, he encountered something again, and saw a wedding team being intercepted.

The bride in the sedan chair was actually pulled down by a group of people, no matter how much she cried and screamed, it was useless, and she was still stuffed into a sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago.

The welcoming team stepped forward to stop it, wanting to snatch back the bride, but it turned out that it was not anyone's opponent, and they were all knocked to the ground, and Zhu Youzhen's anger broke out at this moment.

"Drive!"

He urged the war horse to gallop to block the robbery of the bride, and then Ah Qing Qinglong and Li Dakai also followed, completely blocking the way of those people.

Seeing that someone was blocking the way, a young man stepped forward to Zhu Youzhen's horse, looked at Zhu Youzhen and the others coldly, and snorted coldly:

"Don't look at what you are, a few local chickens and dogs dare to block the young master's way, call me."

"Bang Bang Bang"

As soon as he typed, the gang of thugs had not yet come up, and Zhu Youzhen suddenly raised his horsewhip and slapped him on the head several times.

The boy was whipped and rolled on the ground, and his good-looking old face immediately turned into a pig's head, and he lay on the ground and wailed.

"It's amazing, you dare to beat the young master, brothers, beat him to death, and the governor doesn't dare to treat the young master like this."

The group of people drew their swords and pounced on Zhu Youzhen.

As a big tomorrow, Zhu Youzhen will not make a move easily now, and this kid should be unlucky, Zhu Youzhen was also in a bad mood just now, so he took this kid out of anger.

Seeing a group of people rushing over, Li Dakai and Qingqing Qinglong jumped off the war horse, blocked in front of Zhu Youzhen, and showed his fist and beat him fatly.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

It's okay for these people to bully the common people, how can they be compared with the three of them, although Li Dakai is not a martial arts master, but he is also a fierce general, and he immediately knocked several people away with his iron fist.

Ah Qing and Qinglong did their hands and feet casually, but these people couldn't resist it, and for more than ten breaths, these people all lay on the ground and wailed.

At this time, the groom limped to Zhu Youzhen and them, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed three times before getting up.

"Thank you for the rescue, you guys go quickly, this person is the son of the prince, we can't afford to offend."

The bride was helped off the sedan chair with tears on her face, and gave Zhu Youzhen and the four of them a blessing:

"Thank you for saving me, you go quickly, and I will thank you again if you have the opportunity in the future......"

Then a group of people hurried away from the scene, apparently fearful of these wrongdoers.

Li Dakai didn't care who they were, he went up and kicked the young master a few times and scolded:

"Boy, listen to Lao Tzu, if you dare to take revenge on the girl just now, no matter who your son is, Lao Tzu will crush your balls."

The kid was already dizzy from being whipped by Zhu Youzhen, and was kicked a few times by Li Dakai, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.

Zhu Youzhen almost burst out laughing, a dignified general actually spoke so rudely, and Ah Qing was blushing and a little embarrassed.
