"Ladies and gentlemen of Nanguan Village, do you remember me, Zhao Junchen?"

Seeing Zhao Junchen's face and hearing Zhao Junchen's voice, the people who were still a little noisy on the wall suddenly quieted down, as if they had encountered something incredible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Last year, Zhao Junchen killed locusts with the people of Nanguan Village almost every day, and most of the people in Nanguan Village recognized Zhao Junchen's appearance.

Therefore, they quickly confirmed Zhao Junchen's identity.

"It's really Lord Zhao!"

As the sound rang out, the wall became lively again, and everyone was shouting loudly, full of surprise and excitement.

"Lord Zhao is here! Lord Zhao is here! ”

"Folks, Lord Zhao has not forgotten our Nanguan Village, Lord Zhao has come to visit us!"

"Zhao Qingtian! It's Zhao Qingtian! ”

"What are you still doing! Why don't you go and put down the hanging door, please come in! ”

"Everyone, go and greet Lord Zhao! Lord Zhao is here! ”

For a while, all the people of Nanguan Village were excited and inexplicable, and they all shouted loudly, as if they had encountered some great joy!

Seeing the reaction of the people in Nanguan Village, Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed with a trace of complicated and incomprehensible emotions, both relieved and guilty - both relieved that the people here had not forgotten themselves, and guilty that everything he had done at the beginning was largely just using them.

The movement on the wall also fell into the eyes of Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong, Mao Jiadong and others, making them all shocked in their hearts, only to feel that the scene in front of them completely subverted their inherent concepts!

Is this the reaction of the people to a notorious corrupt official? Why are you so excited? And why are you so happy? Why did the people who were still on guard just now put down the hanging door and let their team enter the village without asking a question after seeing Zhao Junchen? What kind of trust is this?

Is all this the ignorance of the people? Still is...... Zhao Junchen is not a real corrupt official?

For a while, such a question flashed in everyone's hearts.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen had already suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, turned his horse's head and returned to everyone.

Then, Zhao Junchen stared at Hong Gaogong with a serious expression, and said slowly: "Command those brocade guards under you, after entering the village, be polite to the people, and never harm the people!" If anyone dares to harm the people here, the official will directly kill him with a cane, and he will not be merciful! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's voice slowed down, and he added: "Convey the meaning of this official clearly!" Remember, the officer's attitude is serious! ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's attitude, Hong Gaogong did not dare to slack off, and quickly turned the horse's head and personally conveyed Zhao Junchen's instructions to the Jinyi guards.

Soon, the hanging door of Nanguan Village was lowered.

Then, under the leadership of the elders and big families in the village, the people of Nanguan Village rushed out, and the number was huge, no less than seven or eight hundred, and there were many old and weak women and children, but they came out to welcome the village.

Zhao Junchen led three hundred people, most of them were soldiers with sharp blades, if they encountered such a team on weekdays, the people of Nanguan Village would never let them enter the village, but because of Zhao Junchen, the people of Nanguan Village did not have any vigilance, and directly put down the hanging door to welcome everyone into the village, obviously thinking that Zhao Junchen's people would never hurt them.

After Zhao Junchen saw the people of Nanguan Village appearing, he turned over and dismounted and stepped forward to greet him.

After Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong, Mao Jiadong and others saw Zhao Junchen's movements, they hesitated for a moment, and they also turned over and dismounted one after another, following behind Zhao Junchen.

After a while, the people of Nanguan Village had already come to Zhao Junchen's side, and then they knelt down and saluted in unison, all with excited expressions and mixed voices to welcome.

"Lord Zhao!"

"Welcome Lord Zhao!"

"Lord Zhao, you have finally returned to Lu'an!"

Zhao Junchen nodded and smiled, but turned his gaze to the first two.

The first person is about forty years old, his clothes are quite exquisite, his skin is clean, it seems that he has read poetry and books for a few days, he should be a big landlord in Nanguan Village, but the second old man is an acquaintance of Zhao Junchen, it is Wang Laozhang! Unexpectedly, he has been elected by the people of Nanguan Village as the elder in the village, and his status is very different from last year, I am afraid that the change in the status of Mr. Wang is also because of Zhao Junchen, for the people of Nanguan Village, Mr. Wang and Zhao Junchen have some friendship, and this alone is enough to make him the leader of the village.

At this time, the two also bowed to Zhao Junchen.

The expression of the big landlord was sincerely frightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Grass people Zhou Dafu knocked on Lord Zhao!" Unexpectedly, Lord Zhao personally came to Nanguan Village, and the grass people and others were not well entertained, so they turned them away! It's really offensive to Lord Zhao's official authority, and I hope Lord Zhao will forgive me! ”

On the other side, Mr. Wang looked at Zhao Junchen in a daze, because he was emotional, he was completely speechless, but his expression was extremely pious, as if the person in front of him was not Zhao Junchen, but a god who saved the suffering.

Zhao Junchen secretly looked at it for a while, walked quickly to the two of them, helped up Uncle Wang with his own hands, and then raised his voice and said to the people: "Fellow villagers, I, Zhao Junchen, passed by Lu'an Mansion today, and remembered last year's events, so I came to visit everyone, everyone doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly!" ”

After Zhao Junchen shouted twice in a row, the people of Nanguan Village finally stood up one after another, and everyone was still excited and more joyful.

Zhao Junchen, as a member of the imperial court, actually came to visit them, what a great honor is this? Zhao Junchen was busy with the affairs of the imperial court, but he still remembered them, the rural people, what kind of affection was this? With Zhao Junchen's words, the people of Nanguan Village were even more grateful to Zhao Junchen, and only thought that Zhao Junchen was the only Qingtian master in ancient and modern times.

After all the people stood up, Zhao Junchen's eyes turned to Mr. Wang, and said with a kind smile: "I haven't seen him for a year, but Mr. Wang's body is getting healthier!" ”

Mr. Wang nodded excitedly, and finally said, "Lord Zhao's Hongfu!" Thankful for Lord Zhao's blessings! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen smiled and patted the old and rough hands of Mr. Wang, and turned his head to Chow Tai Fook and asked, "Are you a big family in Nanguan Village?" You don't have to be afraid to worry, this is a sensitive time, and the people should be vigilant when they see the cavalry crossing the border, and they have not offended me, and I will not blame you for this. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Chow Tai Fook secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After appeasing Zhou Taifu and Wang Laozhang, Zhao Junchen finally said his request, and said: "Although it is said that it is Lu'an City to walk another twenty or thirty miles, I don't plan to enter the city overnight, and I will spend the night in the village tonight, but I don't know what the two of you want?" Of course, there are more people under my command, and it will inevitably disturb the villagers, but if I only stay for one night, I will also compensate the villagers with some silver, and I will never eat and live in vain. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Mr. Wang shook his head again and again, and said in an excited voice: "Lord Zhao, you are our great benefactor of Lu'an Mansion!" It is also a great benefactor of our Nanguan Village! Now that you have passed by Nanguan Village, let alone spend the night here, even if you didn't mean to stay overnight, we will definitely ask you to stay...... Not to mention a night's stay, you can stay here for three or five years! It just gave me the opportunity to repay you with kindness, where can I ask for your silver! ”

On the other side, Chow Tai Fook and Zhao Junchen were not familiar with each other, and they were even more nervous, so they just nodded again and again and said: "Lord Zhao wants to spend the night, and I am naturally welcome from Nanguan Village!" Yes, welcome! ”

And Mr. Wang had already turned around and shouted to the people of Nanguan Village: "Fellow villagers, Lord Zhao is going to stay in our Nanguan Village tonight!" Let's go back quickly, prepare drinks and meals for Lord Zhao and Lord Zhao's guards, we must treat Lord Zhao well! ”

As Mr. Wang's words fell, the people of Nanguan Village suddenly agreed, all of them were elated, and they didn't feel that Zhao Junchen had disturbed them, but they looked extremely honored, and soon ran back to the village, ready to entertain Zhao Junchen.

Seeing the reaction of the people, Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong, Mao Jiadong and others behind Zhao Junchen were even more dumbfounded!

The people don't need to be forced, just a call, they spontaneously entertain the officials and troops of the court, and the legendary officials and people are like fish and water!

For a while, Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong, Mao Jiadong and others only felt incredible and like a dream.

After Zhao Junchen turned his head to see their reactions, he couldn't help but smile, but he didn't explain anything, just beckoned them to enter Nanguan Village with him.

Last year, Zhao Junchen personally saved the people of Lu'an Mansion from despair, and afterwards asked for a two-year tax exemption from Lu'an Mansion, and the people did not forget this kindness!

Especially the people of Nanguan Village, because Zhao Junchen personally killed locusts with them, they are even more dedicated to Zhao Junchen!

Such feelings, Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong, Mao Jiadong and others may be difficult to understand.

*

Under the leadership of Wang Laozhang and Zhou Taifu, Zhao Junchen's team entered Nanguan Village.

Because of Zhao Junchen's arrival, Nanguan Village at this time was already very lively, the people rushed to kill chickens and fish, and did their best to entertain Zhao Junchen and others, while the idle villagers contributed one after another, or arranged rooms, or prepared horse pile feed, or sent tables, chairs and tea, and the children in the village ran around the team, curious and curious.

When Zhao Junchen walked along the road, every time he passed by a house, he would see the people in the courtyard spontaneously saluting Zhao Junchen again, and the calls of "Qingtian", "Good Official", and "Living Bodhisattva" came and went.

In the end, Zhao Junchen came to the center of the village, there is a large open space, which is where the villagers gather on weekdays, and not far away is Chow Tai Fook's house, under the kind invitation of Chow Tai Fook, Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie, and Hong Gaogong will spend the night in Zhou Tai Fook's house tonight.

In the open space, the villagers have set up many tables and chairs, and Zhao Junchen's position is arranged on a loess platform.

So, Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie, and Hong Gaogong walked on the loess platform and sat down, while Mao Jiadong was busy settling the team.

When Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie, and Hong Gaogong sat down one after another, Wang Laozhang and Zhou Dafu stood aside stiffly, as if they were planning to serve Zhao Junchen and others.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled, and said: "We are just guests, you two are the hosts, how can there be a reason for guests to sit down and stand with the host?" Sit down, both of you, because I have something to ask you! ”

After a moment of hesitation, Uncle Wang knew that Zhao Junchen's words were not polite, so he sat crampedly on a chair, which was next to Hong Gaogong.

After seeing Mr. Wang sitting next to him, a trace of disgust flashed in Hong Gaogong's expression, and he was about to move away from him, but suddenly remembered Zhao Junchen's instructions, so Hong Gaogong hurriedly pressed the disgust in his heart, but he barely held out a kind smile and nodded lightly at Mr. Wang.

On the other side, after Chow Tai Fook saw Wang's movements, he also sat down next to Bao Wenjie.

After Wang Laozhang and Zhou Taifu sat down one after another, Zhao Junchen glanced at the scene under the high platform, and saw that the people moved more and more tables and chairs, and Zhao Junchen's entourage and brocade guards had already sat down to rest one after another.

Perhaps, in addition to Zhao Junchen's order, it was also the initiative and enthusiasm of the people that stunned them as much - as long as they had a little conscience, they must not bear to destroy the harmonious scene in front of them.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to ask Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, it's already the time of the autumn harvest, how is the harvest in Lu'an Mansion this year?" ”

Mr. Wang hurriedly replied: "Back to Lord Zhao's words, there have been natural disasters in Lu'an Mansion in the past few days, last year was a locust plague, this year is a drought, and the harvest is not very good!" Only about half of the previous year's harvest......"

Speaking of the back. Uncle Wang was already shaking his head and sighing.

On the side, Chow Tai Fook wanted to curry favor with Zhao Junchen, but he interjected and said: "However, because of Lord Zhao, Your Majesty has exempted Lu'an Mansion from taxes and grain this year, and the disaster in Lu'an Mansion is not particularly serious, so the people can still eat, all of this is Lord Zhao's kindness!" The other state capitals did not have the protection of Lord Zhao, but it was much more miserable, not only was the disaster serious, but also had to pay the taxes and grain of the imperial court, and now many people have begun to flee the famine! ”

Hearing Chow Tai Fook's statement, Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed slightly, while Bao Wenjie suddenly looked angry!

In order to cope with the successive natural disasters in the northwest provinces, for those state capitals that were more seriously affected, the imperial court also exempted this year's taxes and grain!

But listening to Chow Tai Fook's statement, the northwest provinces are still collecting taxes and grain from the people?

The people have obviously been affected by the disaster, and the officials of the northwestern provinces are not only greedy for ink to withhold the imperial court's disaster relief money and grain, but also further collect taxes from the victims?

This is forcing the people to rebel! How far-sighted and deranged are these local officials?

Suddenly, Zhao Junchen and Bao Wenjie both discovered that the real situation in the northwest provinces was probably even worse than they imagined!
