"Village chief, do you know why the people of Xiaoliu Village can get paid?" Zhou Cang Road.

These days, he is in Xiaoyang Village, and he plans to go to Xiaoliu Village to have a look after asking the old village chief.

The old village chief said: "This is not clear, the wages of the people of Xiaoliu Village are directly sent to their village by officials. ”

The old village chief has difficulty moving, so he basically stays in the village every day, and the most he can do is to walk to the head and end of the village to see the green fields.

For Xiaoliu Village, the old village chief only listened to the people in the village. What is known is limited.

The treatment of the two villages is completely different, is it really just the bad luck of Xiaoyang Village?

The old village chief said: "But I still know one thing, it was many years ago, there seems to be a scholar in Xiaoliu Village, and he also entered the county government to do things, I don't know how it has been in the past few years." ”

A few years ago, the people of Koyanagi Village were very proud.

During that time, there were often people who came to their Xiaoyang Village to show off.

In Xiaoyang Village, there is not even a master, and the villagers are illiterate.

The old village chief recognized a few words.

The report letter in Liu San's hand was still written by someone at a cost.

Zhou Cang nodded, this is a very important information.

There are people in the county government, and it is easy to understand that Xiaoliu Village and Xiaoyang Village are treated differently.

Zhou Cang asked some more about the situation of Xiaoliu Village, and then before noon, he rode a horse and rushed to Xiaoliu Village.

Zhou Cang didn't bring anyone else, just went alone.

The two villages were only twenty miles apart, and Zhou Cang rode a horse and arrived in less than half an hour.

The two villages are connected by a single path, but the path is crooked but smooth. Between the high and low, there are also stone steps.

Entering Xiaoliu Village, Zhou Cang obviously felt that the life of the villagers in Xiaoliu Village was better than that of Xiaoyang Village.

The villagers' houses are all renovated, and most of the children running in the village have shoes on their feet.

Zhou Cang didn't ask anyone, and the people in the village would take a few more glances when they saw him, an outsider.

After all, Zhou Cang was masked in broad daylight, which was too attention-grabbing.

As soon as the child saw Zhou Cang, he immediately ran away, and no one from the adults came to take care of Zhou Cang, they all watched from afar.

Zhou Cang gave them a very dangerous feeling.

They didn't know that Zhou Cang had been to Xiaoyang Village, just looking at Zhou Cang's current dress, the villagers of Xiaoliu Village guessed in their hearts that Zhou Cang was a nearby bandit, and now they are eyeing Xiaoliu Village, this is to step on the point.

It's just that if it's really a bandit, how can you step on it with such a mask.

How can they disguise themselves as merchants, or come at night?

As Zhou Cang is now, instead of telling the people of Xiaoliu Village openly, you all give me caution, it's best to hide outside these days.

"Who is this man? The bag is strict and solid, not a thief, and definitely a vicious person, do you want to report to the county office? ”

"Quite possibly, it just escaped from prison."

The villagers of Xiaoliu Village are all guessing Zhou Cang's identity, but no one can guess correctly.

Although the two villages are only twenty miles apart, if there is nothing to do, the two villages do not communicate.

At the beginning, it was also for the matter of water sources, and the two villages fought several times.

The relationship between the two sides is not good.

And Zhou Cang went to Xiaoyang Village to ask the villagers not to leak his news.

lest they be known by the people of the county government, they will be prepared.

Zhou Cang came this time, not only to give the wages owed to Xiaoyang Village, but also to deal with the corrupt officials.

After walking around Xiaoyang Village, Zhou Cang finally found two villagers to question.

But he didn't reveal his identity, and covered his face, and the two villagers who were stopped by Zhou Cang didn't answer Zhao Hui positively.

Either it's inconsequential, or you say you don't know.

Zhou Cang asked them if they could get the wages for building the road, and the two shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Either you don't have it, or you just got it, where is there something you don't know.

However, from their hesitant expressions, Zhou Cang was basically able to make a judgment.

"I heard that there is a person in your village who works as an errand in the county government, I don't know which family?" Zhou Cang asked.

The two of them glanced at each other subconsciously, and then shook their heads in unison and said, "I don't know, we don't know that there is someone who works on an errand in the county office." ”

Then the two didn't care if Zhou Cang had anything to ask, so they ran away.

Although the two didn't say anything, Zhou Cang already knew which family it was.

This family is very conspicuous in Xiaoliu Village, not only covering the largest area, but also having three courtyards.

The land in the village is not valuable, but if you want to build a large mansion, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Most of them were just mud walls, with a small courtyard and two or three rooms in the middle.

If there is a well in the yard, it means that the family is in good condition.

Most of the people still have to go to the river to fetch water.

As soon as Zhou Cang entered the village, he had already noticed this house, and he just asked the two villagers, just to confirm it.

So he deliberately chose a place where he could see the house and stopped two villagers.

Before he could ask, the two villagers subconsciously glanced at this side.

Zhou Cang walked straight to this best house, three into the courtyard, there are more than a dozen rooms.

Naturally, it can't be compared with the mansions of those families, but in this small village, this is a mansion, and the courtyard wall is actually made of bricks and stones.

The vermilion gate with a dozen large nails on it.

Zhou Cang stepped forward, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked hard a few times.

Soon, a crack opened in the door.

A little guy poked his head out and said, "Who are you?" ”

Looking at the masked Zhou Cang, the little guy was not afraid.

Their family walks sideways in Xiaoliu Village.

The lord of his own family is also the village chief of Xialiu Village.

"I want to meet your master."

Zhou Cang's voice was very hoarse, and in the fire that day, he was not only seriously burned, but his throat was also burned.

"Who are you, show your face, my lord doesn't see strangers."

Listening to Zhou Cang's voice, the little guy trembled in his heart for no reason, but he still didn't give up his position.

This is after becoming a subordinate of the mansion here, he also has confidence in his heart, and he is used to it on weekdays.

Always facing the simple people in the village, even if he himself is just a subordinate, he feels superior to those people.

There is an advantage in the heart, and the voice will be different.

"Get out of the way."

Zhou Cang directly squeezed the little guy away, and then walked in.

Although Zhou Cang's strength is not as good as before, he has retired from the battlefield after all.

No matter how weak Zhou Cang is, it is not something that a small guy can stop.

Zhou Cang's body is not as good as before, but his kung fu is still there.

This squeezed and pushed, and the little guy behind the door screamed, and then sat on the ground.

"You, you're looking for death."
