The second (rì) Gu Zhao just learned about this, and immediately slapped the table angrily, but he didn't expect that he, a dignified ninety-five honor, was actually tricked by a group of Diao people!

  "Presumptuous, simply too presumptuous! I just listened to Miss Su's words, I have made too many improvements in the past few years, and I am too good to these Diao people, so I will allow them to kick their noses and face like this! This must be punished severely, or more will follow suit in the future. ”

  Su Mian rarely saw Gu Zhao angry, and even if he was occasionally angry in Ping (rì), he looked like he was fierce (nǎi) fierce. It's just a blink of an eye, and the time of knowing each other is not long, but I always feel that Gu Zhao has really grown up, and now that he has started a fire, Su Mian can't help but tremble.

  Gu Zhixing was just silent and didn't rush to say anything, Su Mian gritted his teeth, and still wanted to ask for help (qíng) for those who had made mistakes first.

  "No, I want to check this time (qíng) again. And even if it's their mistakes, almost all of them have reached the age of sixties, and if they really get jailed, I'm afraid they won't last a few days. In this way, I feel uneasy to think about the people who were killed for the sake of those grains. ”

  Su Mian was a little entangled and said this, of course she is not a good person, others bully her like this, and she has to defend it everywhere. It's just that when he thought that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, Su Mian couldn't give up his mind after all.

  Gu Zhao was also angry, and he was about to accuse Su Mian, saying that he was a woman, but seeing that his imperial uncle was not very good on the side, Gu Zhao naturally wanted to give the imperial uncle this face, but he just took the table to vent his anger, and gave the table a heavy circle.

  "But if this is not punished severely, do you want to implement your farming reform after that? If the first time it was successful, but it was met with a thief, then what is the point of such an improvement if everyone insists on stealing and refuses to hand over the grain to the treasury? ”

  Faced with such a question, Su Mian herself thought about it all night, so now even if Gu Zhao asks like this, Su Mian can try to answer it hard.

  "Let me go, I know that Lu Zhe has already done it, but when I caught the villagers, I wanted to go to Niujia Village to ask what was going on. If we just punish them all this time, what if the people don't really want to do things for us in the future? ”

  Su Mian and Gu Zhao's concerns have their own reasons, Gu Zhixing saw that the two of them were arguing in front of him for the first time, as if they were coaxing two children, so he could only pull Su Mian to his (shēn) side first and temporarily separate the two.

  "Ah Mian is right, but what the emperor is worried about is exactly what the king is worried about. Fortunately, along the way, I saw more people with conscience than these white-eyed wolves, since the emperor wants to become a Ming monarch, he must believe in his own people, even if the people make mistakes, they are also your people. ”

  Unexpectedly, the imperial uncle, who was even more severe than himself and more decisive than himself, would now say that he would be lenient to the people of Liming, Gu Zhao was a little surprised for a while, but more of a person was holding his breath in his heart, so he twisted his head to the other side and stopped looking at the two of them.

  "Anyway, the two of you are in a group, and now that you don't agree, I really can't help it. Then let's do it, if you want to go to Niujia Village, it's best to ask why, and find a way to solve the problems I mentioned before. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to promote secondary planting in the future. ”

  Gu Zhao didn't say angry words, thinking that he and Su Mian had put in a lot of effort to come all the way, if it was really in vain like this, he would not feel comfortable in his heart.

  Su Mian listened to him agree, and was relieved on the surface, but he became more and more worried in his heart. It wasn't until he returned to the palace that he waited for only two (rì) days, and the news came from Lu Zhe's side, and Su Mian rushed to Niujia Village non-stop.

  As Lu Zhe had planned before, he had sent someone to quietly transport the grain and grass away overnight. After all, they are all practitioners, and the other party is just a group of elderly and defenseless villagers, as long as they are careful enough, although they are not aware of ghosts, they can also transfer most of the food without them noticing (qíng).

  After squatting for a few (rì), they waited for the villagers to transfer the remaining grain. I think it was because they had to discuss it clearly with the steward, so they waited for two more times before they were finally able to catch this group of thieves on the spot.

  "What else do you have to explain now, do you think that General Ben and the prince don't know the truth? It's just that I want everyone to get the stolen goods, so that you can be convinced, and you can't justify it anymore, so you wait until today (rì) to make a move! ”

  Lu Zhe looked at the few people who were controlled, all of them were elderly people, although he was so angry, he couldn't be rude, so he could only curse a few words first.

  Su Mian came in a panic, and even because he was too anxious to apply powder, he ran all the way at this time, his hair was a little messy, and he looked slightly embarrassed, as if he was the one who had committed the crime now.

  The villagers were silent when they saw that they were now being arrested, but looking at Su Mian who came in a panic, I don't know what they thought, their eyes flashed, and finally they all sighed heavily.

  "Let me come, Lu Zhe, you go and rest first, don't worry, they won't run, and they can't run away if they want to."

  Su Mian gasped for breath and said this. It could be seen that she was really anxious, and she couldn't even take care of her image, so Lu Zhe didn't say anything else, and took his subordinates to withdraw some distance first.

  Seeing that those people with real swords and real guns were far away from them, several team leaders and villagers led by the village chief suddenly trembled and wanted to kneel down for Su Mian. Su Mian was so nervous that she stepped forward to help, but she didn't have so many hands, so she couldn't stop them.

  "Miss Su, I'm sorry for you! We were really desperate to make this decision. Now I don't expect to ask Miss Su for forgiveness, I just hope that Miss Su can accept our apology, we really shouldn't do this, and I'm really sorry for the girl! ”

  Su Mian was also angry, and he also hated that iron could not become steel, but the other party now had a handful of snot and tears, and it didn't seem like it was pretending, it should indeed be (qíng) sincerely, and Su Mian's heart (qíng) was even heavier for a while.

  "What are you doing here? You are all old enough to be my grandfather's person, you were originally my elders, but now I can't stand you like this. Since you have made a mistake, you need to find a way to solve it, not just apologize. ”

  As soon as Su Mian spoke, she was suddenly a little sad, what did she do so diligently? Isn't it just to let these poor people have enough to eat, but in the end, they actually lie to themselves behind their backs, which is really unacceptable.

  After listening to what Su Mian said, the village chief immediately burst into tears, looking at this old man's clothes even if the village chief's clothes were very shabby and skinny, Su Mian knew that his son was not doing well, so he could only grit his teeth and help people up first, and he didn't want to do this life-breaking thing.

  "Don't talk about those useless things now, I just want to know the truth now. Why did you do this, did anyone instruct you? If there is really any injustice (qíng), you tell me, I will definitely redress your grievances, and I will make decisions for you! ”

  Su Mian was a little anxious and said this, if someone really dared to use these old people to go against him, it would be a lightning strike! Su Mian thought of it before he came, and it was very likely that Liu Ce was pouting, so when he said this now, he also gritted his teeth.

  But Su Mian didn't expect his voice to fall, and the village chief lowered his head with shame on his face, and couldn't stop shaking his head, Su Mian would understand, this matter (qíng) really didn't turn around at all.

  "Our Niujia Village was originally a big village with hundreds of families, but later the young people in the village all ran to the imperial city, and gradually, only the old, weak, sick and disabled like me were left in the village. But because there were already a lot of people before, there were hundreds of people like me, and we didn't have the ability to farm, and it was the first time in more than ten years that we had seen so much food......

  The old man's words were vicissitudes and hoarse, and Su Mian listened to him talk like this, as if she could know what he had experienced (qíng), but she couldn't say that she felt empathy (shēn), and her heart became even more uncomfortable for a while.

  "I know that your son is not doing well, so the prince and I will work together with the emperor to improve your son! There are so many people in the world that we can't make everyone live a good life, but we are already trying, and you are the first beneficiaries, so why can't you wait? ”

  Su Mian (qíng) Xu was a little excited, she knew that she had committed the bad mistake of the same (ài) person again, but she really couldn't swallow this breath in her heart. They want to do good things for them, and in the end, they actually do this to themselves, and they will be disappointed in anyone's heart.

  Looking at Su Mian, who was a little excited from afar, Lu Zhe was also a little worried, but fortunately she was facing a group of old people who would not hurt her, so Lu Zhe could only choose to wait in the distance first and let them talk more.

  The village chief had long been embarrassed, and now in the face of such a kind girl in front of him, he really didn't have the face to answer. But since they have already done it, they must dare to admit it, so they can only close their eyes and recruit what they have done truthfully.

  "The girl's kindnessWe know that the emperor has reduced a lot of taxes in recent years, and we are grateful. However, I heard that this year's cold winter will come earlier than usual, and it will be especially cold, if this is the case, if we don't store enough food in advance, then our old fellows will not be able to survive the winter! ”

  Listening to the other party's bitterness, Su Mian's heart became even more bitter, and in the end, she didn't ask the result she wanted. It turned out that it was really the villagers who did this spontaneously, and in a sense, it was also the villagers who spontaneously betrayed themselves.

  She had nothing to say now, and after letting go of the village chief, Lu Zhe's people came forward and took a few people away. Although it was to take away the criminals, it was special enough, and there were no serious words along the way, and they were almost invited away.
