Seeing Gu Tianya nodding, Sun Zhao casually threw away the leather whip.

The son of the family slowly put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Rules are rules." As the head of a county, this son can save the poor by treating the people, but Sun Qi can't, he is my Sun's slave......"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Sun Qi dared to take out seventeen yuan to you without permission, but he broke the rules set by the Miyun Sun family, so after hearing about it, this son personally came to beat him, and waited until you passed through here to start beating him......"

These words have two meanings.

First, he is a county magistrate, and he is committed to the duties of his parents' officials, and he may be able to provide relief to the poor in the future. But Sun Qi is a house slave, and paying money to others privately violates the bottom line of the family.

Second, he specifically beat Sun Qi in the place where Gu Tianya went, this was telling Gu Tianya that the poor have to be honest, Sun Qi gave you money, and you dared to take it...... Since you have forgotten the dignity of being a mud-legged person, then I will give you a reminder by beating Sun Qi. As for why I didn't just beat you with a whip, you can understand that a poor man with mud legs is not qualified to be beaten by me.

is not even qualified to be beaten by him, which shows how arrogant this son of the family is.

Sun Zhao suddenly said: "You still need to pay attention to one thing, this son never wore an official uniform when he beat someone. ”

Gu Tianya nodded and said, "You are telling us that when you beat Sun Qi, you used the identity of the son of the Sun family. The reason why you don't wear official clothes is because you want to show public and private degrees. ”

Sun Zhao nodded and said lightly: "It's good that you understand." Do you know what to do next? ”

Gu Tianya also nodded, and suddenly said to the women in Gujia Village: "Which sister-in-law helped and took out the money bag in my arms." ”

Because he was carrying the body of his fourth sister-in-law with both hands, he couldn't reach into his arms and dig out things.

The sisters-in-law glanced at Sun Zhao with a cowardly face, and one of them reached out and took out the money bag from Gu Tianya's arms.

Gu Tianya spoke again and said in a deep voice: "Count out the seventeen dollars and return it to the Miyun Sun family." ”

Seventeen yuan is exactly the amount of money that Sun Qi gave him privately.

The sisters-in-law lowered their heads, carefully counted out seventeen yuan, and were about to send it back to Sun Zhao, but they saw Sun Zhao waving his hand indifferently.

I only heard Sun Zhao smile faintly, and said leisurely: "No need, keep it." ”

Gu Tianya looked at him, as if he wanted to hear what was going on.

Sun Zhao took his hand behind his back, his tone was still light, and he said again: "This son asked you to return the copper coins because you didn't abide by the rules of the Sun family, since you are now taking out the money and preparing to return it, that is already knowing the mistakes you have made." But these seventeen coins are not in the eyes of this son, so this son is now rewarded to you as a county order. ”

When he said this, his tone was very generous, but unfortunately Gu Tianya still looked at the sister-in-law who was holding the money bag, and said in a deep voice: "Seventeen yuan, return it to the Sun family." ”

The sister-in-law held on to her courage and sent the money over with a shaver. She didn't dare to hand the money directly to Sun Zhao, who was standing in her hands, but only dared to carefully stuff it into the hands of Sun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground.

Sun Zhao's face was obviously stiff, and a displeased color appeared in his eyes.

It's a pity that Gu Tianya didn't see it, and just asked softly: "Dare to ask Lord County, we can go." ”

Sun Zhao's eyes were angry, as if he felt that being provoked by a poor man would damage his majesty, but he held his own identity, and finally waved his hand, pretending to be magnanimous: "As a parent official, this son will naturally not be difficult to govern the people. ”

Gu Tianya didn't even have the heart to talk.

He just silently glanced at Sun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and then raised his feet and strode with the body of the fourth sister-in-law on his back.

Several women in Gujia Village hurriedly followed behind and helped Gu Tianya continue to hold the body of the fourth sister-in-law.

The night wind was very cold, and Sun Zhao suddenly waved at Sun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I beat you today, not just because of the rules. ”

As for other reasons, Sun Zhao did not explain to Sun Qi.

He just looked at Gu Tianya, staring at Gu Tianya's figure and moving away, and suddenly slowly spoke, spit out three words: "Gujia Village." ”

As the county magistrate of this place, no government affairs in Miyun County could bypass him, and he already knew the inside story of the court's approval of the establishment of a new type of post station five days ago.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was something that only top bosses could mix, but this morning he suddenly received a bird message from Chang'an, and he knew that Gujia Village would set up a specially approved new post station.

In this specially approved post station, the head of the post is also a seven-rank official.

On the seventh grade, he is at the same level as him.

How can you keep up with each other in the same county?

Although he didn't know who this post chief was, it didn't prevent him from being vigilant about this place in Gujia Village, it just so happened that Sun Qi made a mistake by paying money privately, and the party who received the money was the poor man of Gujia Village......

This made him immediately feel that it was a good opportunity to knock the people of Gujia Village.

He continued to look at Gu Tianya's back, as if recalling whether this young man was afraid of his beating, but unfortunately he thought about it again and again, and seemed to only recall Gu Tianya's humble repayment.

So Sun Zhao faintly felt that the young man did not accept his beating.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice from the depths of the night, which was the loud scream of the young man, as if calling for the dead woman's soul to follow him home.

But why does it sound wrong?

I only listened to the hoarse voice of the call, but it seemed to be about to reach into the sky, reckless, like crying:

"Humility is inferior to others in every way from reincarnation. Pride is born from the bones, and the knee is not bent in all difficulties. Anger swings in the throat, and evil grows to the side of the gall. Why are those who are poor and persecuted suffer from this? Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone. Fourth sister-in-law, you have to follow well, even if our poor people die, the fallen leaves must pay attention to the roots, you have to follow well, my brother will take you home......"

Obviously he is calling for the souls of the dead, and when he is calling, he seems to be grieving for the lives of the poor, and he is obviously screaming that everything is fate, and he is crying to the sky and crying out to the sky......

But why is it that when I listen to this scream, there is a faint sense that I am not convinced?

Sun Zhao looked straight into the depths of the night, as if he wanted to see the back of the young man who had long since disappeared.

After a long time passed, a cold wind blew, and the order of a county from a family suddenly shuddered, and he didn't know if it was because the cold wind was very cold or because of something else, he gently repeated Gu Tianya's screams in his mouth, especially one or two of them......

Humility is inferior to others in every way from reincarnation.

Pride is born from the bones, and the knee is not bent in all difficulties.

Sun Zhao suddenly looked at Sun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You stand up and tell me, why did you pay money privately and give it to this young man in Gujiacun?" ”

Sun Qi got up from the ground cautiously, and after getting up, he first saluted him respectfully, and then whispered: "Hui Gongzi, he has read." ”
