Chapter Forty-Seven: Uncle Guo

Although the villagers were fighting for food, they also saw Wen Lin go to the village chief to treat them, and saw that they were dressed well, and at first glance, they were all sons, but they did not dislike them. Wen Lin hurriedly helped the villagers who took the lead and knelt down.

"Everyone, hurry up. We didn't do anything, but can you tell us what's going on over there. A few of us have just arrived here from Luoyan City, why are we not far apart, and you are in such a situation here. ”

Hearing Wen Lin's words, the villagers wiped their tears, and some even cried, but the woman replied at first

"This boy doesn't know that this situation has been going on for more than half a year, and we villagers have been farming the fields for a living for generations," the woman cried as she spoke.

"Auntie. I think the nearby fields have been desolate for a long time, so why don't you farm them?"

But the group of officials did not let us plant, we planted many times, they would find a way to make the crops die, and later, whoever dared to grow food, they would send someone to drive the family out of the village, and also arrested a lot of middle-aged men and teenagers, my eldest son... The woman sobbed again for a few more moments before she subsided.

I haven't seen my eldest son for a long time, and I don't know if he's alive or dead. At the beginning, every family still had surplus grain, and they would also give a little subsidy, but for the past six months, we were not allowed to grow our own food, and there was no subsidy.

We are left with only the old and the young, the women and children, the son and grandson of the village chief have been taken away, and so is the eldest son of my family. For half a year, no one was born, no one died, and no corpse was seen. ”

"Why don't you sue the official, the county magistrate of Luoyan County is a well-known clean official and a good official."

I only heard the woman cry and said, "Who said no, Gongzi, who doesn't know that this Luoyan City is the fief of King Wen today, and the emperor's favorite is this four princes, who were crowned kings and fiefs at a young age, and no official dares to offend the four princes for our group of people."

Moreover, the city lord of Luoyan City is the uncle of the four princes. If it weren't for the instructions of the four princes, he would dare to do such a black-hearted bastard, we also know that the Lin County Order of Luoyan County is a good official, and at the beginning, some of us ran out to sue the official, but after so many people went out, none of them came back alive.

Later, when they came to warn us, if we dared to run out again, the whole village would be buried with us, and he was going to kill us, and the woman began to cry even louder. The other villagers also wept and cried."

Wen Lin was shocked and puzzled when he heard this, although Brother Xin has been the king for a long time, he has never left Beijing because of his body.

Usually, he would not have the energy to manage the fiefdom, but now there are people who are doing evil under his guise, Wen Lin decided to find out this black sheep, and the province will be known by the people in the capital when the time comes, and I don't know what crime to give Brother Xin'an.

"As far as I know, King Wen has been crowned king for ten years. How have you spent all these years?"

"We were doing well in previous years, but last year, we were suddenly not allowed to grow food.

Anyone who disobeyed their orders was beaten at least or killed at worst, but we didn't listen at first, and when they saw that we had planted rice and grain, they did everything they could to waste it.

The brutes, he asked the men of our family to help him with the work, 500 copper plates a month for us to eat and drink, and we received silver money for the first few months.

Later, none of us could see it, and the 500 copper plates that we should have gotten have not been obtained for a long time. We can't help it. When the surplus food at home is exhausted, we can only look for wild vegetables and weeds, and after a long time, the weeds are not eaten, so we can only dig wild grass roots to eat, how can these things be wrapped in the stomach.

So gradually some people began to get sick, and the woman paused here. With some unconcealable sadness and panic in his eyes, he paused and continued, many people died, many people died. They fell right before us,"

As she spoke, the woman's mood began to collapse, and Wen Lin was afraid that it would irritate her too much, so she had to change the topic. "Auntie, is this the case in other places on our side besides your village, and in what name does he levy middle-aged men?"

The woman replied honestly, "I don't know, I just said that the government needs manpower, we men have never come back since we went out, this money is also suitable, we didn't say anything, and then he didn't give the money, we also asked the group of people, at first they would say a few vague words, and then they asked too much and began to beat people, we are all old and weak, women and children are hungry, and gradually we don't dare to ask."

When the surplus food in our family was exhausted, we began to eat weeds, and when the weeds were exhausted, we began to dig up weed roots, and the soup boiled from weeds roots was bitter and astringent, and now many adults only drink soup once every few days, and the children's bodies can't stand it at all, and many children have starved to death."

The woman's tears began to fall silently again. At this time, Uncle Li also came back with a carriage, and Wen Lin began to distribute food after calming the woman.

"Now everyone is lined up to come to my side to get food, and I hope you can help me find two cauldrons."

When the villagers heard that there was food to be gained, their eyes lit up. They all lined up energetically. When everyone got a lot of food, a rare smile appeared on their faces. What followed was a whisper: "We have a little food for good luck this time, but what should we do after these sons are gone." ”

When Wen Lin heard this, he replied, "Rest assured, aunts, King Wen will not ignore you, the city lord who said that he was King Wen's uncle is fake, and I will write a letter to expose him when I go back."

Wait for tomorrow. I'll have people go somewhere else to distribute food, and now I need your aunts to tell me who has a huge iron pot."

Hearing Wen Lin's words, some people were excited, and some people wondered, "Could it be that a few sons are the sons of the official master's family?" It is said that the officials and officials will protect each other, will we..."Thinking like this, someone asked Wen Lin, "Son, don't you know King Wen."

"No, no, there are just some ways to do it, it's not early today, and I'm bothering you aunts to borrow me two pots. Also, ladies and gentlemen, you go home and take your own bowls, and after a while, the medicine will be boiled out, and adults and children will need to drink some. ”

"Okay, okay, I have it at home, come with me."

"Uncle Li, you follow," and Wen Lin looked at Ling Yuanchen, who had been silent,

Ling Shao, if you don't want to help, you should also help. Ling Yuanchen looked around and saw that there was no danger, nodded and followed the aunt who spoke.
