"We really can't get by, otherwise who will send their mother in, and they are not hard-hearted wolf-hearted dogs, mother, I'm sorry for you, damn it, I shouldn't be blinded by lard for a while, poor family children and little babies have been hungry for several days and haven't eaten enough." Zeng Dazhuang wiped his tears as he spoke, and hugged his mother, who had already cried and wept from the clay pot grave.

Several people around seemed to be infected by their sad atmosphere, their eyes were slightly red or slightly moist, and too much of them were expressionless.

"How can life not go on, now that the harsh taxes and forced labor are not heavy, and it is a good year with good weather and good weather, how can it come to an era that cannot be passed." Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty's harsh taxation and forced labor is the lightest country, with 70% of the farmers, 30% of the state, and 40% of the other two countries, in comparison, it can be imagined.

Unless someone in their family has a problem, this argument is completely untenable.

"Today's holy tax and servitude is not much, we are all thinking of the emperor's grace in our hearts, but what persecuts us is not the harsh tax and servitude, but the dog officials sent down by the above, originally we only need to hand over thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent is enough for our family to live in harmony with the United States, and every household can be prosperous during the New Year, but since the dog official who came to the heavens, we are now unable to keep even one percent of the harvest, not to mention that there is a surplus, even the rice is sometimes not eaten, can only gnaw bark and grass roots for a living, Pity my big treasure, who gets up early every day and works in the dark, but he can't fill that hole. As he spoke, the old man knelt on the ground again, hid his face with his hands, and began to cry.

A pair of old and rough, protruding veins, yellowed nails, full of cracks and wrinkles, overlapping each other with a pair of slightly younger but unmistakable hands.

"We are just ordinary ordinary people, we can't fight the soldiers and we really can't survive, the old ones can only dig their own graves to go into, so as not to drag down the family." Her son Zeng Dazhuang was uncomfortable and crying when he heard this, if it wasn't for the fact that life was really unbearable, how could they force their mother to die for the rations of one more person.

What's more, the Han people value filial piety, and even those who conduct scientific examinations need the word filial piety, otherwise it is difficult to enter the court as an official.

Bai Qingxing frowned when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine that there would be serious corrupt officials and corrupt officials under the condition of such public security, not to mention that the officials were holding official food and official silver.

It can only be said that the heart of a snake is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

"Who is the county magistrate here?" The inky pupils were as deep as night, and the eyes were cold.

"Returning to the son, it's ......." The ingots who reacted first were still thinking about their words, because Bai Qingxing repeatedly ordered them to hide it.

"Say." Bai Qingxing looked at his hesitant expression, and scolded coldly, can he still guess what it is, a pair of dark pain is as deep as ink, bottomless.

"It's the mother's family of today's concubine." It is also Concubine Zhen, who is now a rising ship, and the ingot, who has a slight expression, did not forget to look at Lin Chaoge, who was looking down and didn't know what to think about, and said softly.

"The people of this county order fish and meat, why haven't you heard a little rumor in the capital, why don't you leave or go to other towns to ask God to hear." Bai Qingxing looked away, his eyes were full of anger, and the hand hidden under the cuff clenched into a fist.

"We want to report it too! But what can the officials do to protect us, even if we leave, where can we go, our roots and our fields are here, and on the way, maybe we can still meet the soldiers sent by the dog officials to chase and kill us, and it will be a dead end at that time. As he spoke, he hugged each other and cried.

Lin Chaoge listened to them talking, and he went over to help up the two mothers and sons who were already crying, with high eyebrows, if it weren't for the harsh taxation and forced labor like a tiger, no one would have done such a thing that lost their conscience, and took out the only two pieces of silver in his arms and handed them over to the good life to persuade him; "You can take this money back and live a good life first, and we will find a way to deal with the county order here."

"A few adults can really have a way." The old man's hand trembled and took it, his eyes were red as if tears were flowing out of his eyes, and his hair was wrapped in a gray cloth towel, with only a few traces of silver leaking out.

"Well, you guys go back to life, and we'll settle the matter here." Bai Qingxing glanced back at her and nodded at her, and Lin Chaoge's heart was as calm as taking a tranquilizer.

"It's not a secret, we were sent by the top to investigate the evidence of the crimes of the people of this county."

"It's getting late, so go back early, lest the mountain road be difficult to walk." Lin Chaoge's sharp eyes rolled and said viciously; "But don't let me see the abuse of your mother, or we can do to you how we can deal with the county order." The overcast gaze matched with the cold wind blowing from the mountainside, there was a kind of chill that made people rise from the soles of their feet.

"Yes, yes, the little one will definitely treat his mother well in the future." Zeng Dazhuang said to Lin Chaoge, and they kowtowed several times before helping the white-haired old mother down the mountain.

"It seems that Brother Lin's desire to return to Beijing before the beginning of July is a little difficult." Bai Qingxing looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled who were helping him down the mountain, looking into the distance thoughtfully, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a folding fan in his hand, maybe he would have to shake it gently.

"It's okay, it's more important to deal with the dog officer's affairs." Lin Chaoge shook his head indifferently, then smiled at him, and immediately turned over and urged him; "If we don't go down the mountain, we won't be able to enter the city when the sun goes down, and we may have to sleep in the wilderness."

For the rest of the journey, the atmosphere of the team was very solemn, and even the tea Ge, who had always talked the most, was quiet as a chicken, and what he saw and heard today was too big a blow to him.

After entering the city, they chose an inn to stay in, and Yuan Bao didn't know how to leave after entering the city, and now there are only four of them left in a group of five.

"You've sent the ingots out to deal with this." The two did not eat together in the lobby tonight, but went back to their rooms separately.

Lin Chaoge sat on the edge of the bed, his hands caressed Xiao Hei's smooth back for a while, and Xiao Hei made a comfortable purring sound.

"Brother Lin is smart, he guessed it as soon as he guessed." Bai Qingxing was at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Lin Chaoge couldn't help but roll her eyes, if she didn't even know what someone was going to do when someone suddenly left the team with a token, she would just have a pair of bright tricks and a brain to make decorations, and patted the hand that stroked the top of her hair; "Don't keep touching my head, your hairstyle is going to be messed up."

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Having said that, I don't know when the next time will be.

"I have something to go out, Brother Lin doesn't have to wait for me tonight, go to bed first." Picked up the duck coat hanging next to the bed and went out with a sword.

The pineapple wooden door was gently slammed shut, and the footsteps outside the corridor faded away.

“………。” Whoever has to act as if he doesn't come back, she doesn't say anything, and nods honestly at the moment.

It's like a little daughter-in-law waiting for her husband to return.

In a tavern on the second floor outside the inn, Bai Qingxing sat opposite the ingots who left the team very much in the evening, the box was not big, it was better than elegant and quiet, and it was late at night, and there were fewer and fewer people in the teahouse, not more lively than the day, but also had a taste.

"Your Majesty, even if you can hide your identity from Lin Gongzi for a while, you won't be able to hide it for too long." What's more, Lin Gongzi is such a smart person, maybe he already knew it, but it is not necessary to pretend to be stupid all the way, but these words Yuan Bao only dared to touch and complain in his heart, he didn't dare to say it at all, for fear of provoking the wrath of the saint.

"It's okay, it's a while to be able to hide it." I don't want to last forever, but I want to get along day and night, the two fingers with distinct bones are bent and bent from time to time to make a small sound of knocking on the table, and the eyes are as sharp as knives; "How about Lone asked you to check."

"Back to Your Majesty, the local shogunate order is no different from what the mother and son of the Zeng family we met today." When there is no one in private, Yuan Bao prefers to call him His Majesty rather than his son.

The local shogunate order is called Mu Baolin, and the curtain rose who has risen from the hidden mansion to the concubine Zhen, the relationship between the two is the relationship between cousins and sisters, and the relationship between the two is excellent, and even the family is relatively close to each other.

"We also found out that a large amount of money flows into Beijing every year in Yuanlin County, and the whereabouts are unknown." Presumably, it is the people's anointing and people's fat that is scraped, but it will open up the relationship between superiors and subordinates for themselves.

If it weren't for their coincidence and coming here, this person would not know how to toss this place like hell on earth, and after a few days, the people in Beijing who did not know would have seen that the results were very good, and they did not know where to toss out another human purgatory, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty might have civil strife because of this, and then it would be a headache.

"How big are the people involved in the case, especially ......." Especially implicated in the harem concubine and the uncle of the current country, Yuan Bao honestly spoke, he didn't expect that there were even people in the harem who stretched out their hands, but it is conceivable that it is widely implicated, just like pulling radishes and bringing out the mud, there is more than one radish in a pit.

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so naturally how to deal with it, you are right." A cold light appeared in his dark pupils, and his aura was cold.

All right! That's a lot of good! One by two, they carried him behind his back and made small movements under his nose.

In front of him, he thought that he was far away in the imperial city, and he could cover the sky with one hand in the corner that he couldn't see outside, which was very good.

Bai Qingxing then chatted with Yuan Bao about the county government here, and looked at the sky outside before waving him away.

I sat alone for a while, and went back with a calm mood that I had cleaned up.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the warm breeze is hot on a sunny day, and the green shade/grass is better than the flowers.
