Chang'an, a place where Sun Xiangfu must set foot in, in order to live a safer and more comfortable life in this world.

Hu Cai's reaction after seeing this canopy boat was a little strange, it was a jealous and narrow-minded person, otherwise, with the existing resources in the village, it would not be so miserable, more than a year, sixty or seventy people died, including Sun Xiangfu's parents in this world, to say that there is no reason for Hu Cai, Sun Xiangfu does not believe it.

Thinking about it, Sun Xiangfu fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already midnight, and he was awakened by mosquito bites.

Sitting up and looking around, Sun Xiangfu found that there was actually a light in the village.

"It's Hu Cai's family."

Sun Xiangfu was already suspicious of Hu Cai before going to bed, in the middle of the night, Hu Cai's house was actually lit up, there must be something, thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu went ashore, lightly crossed the fence courtyard of the Hu family, approached the house, and listened to the people in the house.

"Big Mouth, remember where they put the fish cage?" This is Hu Cai's voice.

"Remember, each of their fish cages is nailed to the shore with bamboo stakes, and today I went to the lower reaches of the creek to see it, and there is one every dozen or so steps along the river." This is the voice of villager Li Dazui.

"Well, now you take my eldest lang and second lang to take the fish cages and put them in the river in the neighboring village, if they find out in two days, you will say that these fish cages are imitated by yourself, anyway, they are all made of bamboo in our village, even if they report to the official, we can make them difficult to distinguish."

"Well, I see, it's just the fish that came up later?" Li Dazui deliberately hesitated.

"You take 30%." Hu Cai said with some coldness in his tone.

"It's only three percent?"

"Thirty percent is a lot, you see how much benefit the Sun family kid has gained in the past few days, buy grain, buy pots, and buy a boat today, you take thirty percent of the fish, enough for the family to eat and drink."

"That's it, that's fine! Let's go now, those people get up early, let's go now, and by the time they go to collect the fish in the morning, we'll all go home and go to bed. ”

"Well, go and come back quickly, don't leave any of them."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly hid his body in the dark in the corner, and after a while, he saw three people coming out of the house, it was the village's bachelor Li Dazui and the eldest and second eldest of Hu Cai's family, this Hu Cai can really give birth, has five sons and two daughters, it seems that he usually has nothing to do when he is full, and he interacts more with his wife.

After Li Dazui and the three left, the lights in the house were still not extinguished, and after a while, a woman's voice came.

"In charge, why do you have to do it so desperately, the boy of the Sun family has invited the children of the whole village to drink several fish soups in the past few days, and our little four and five and two girls have gone to drink it, you do this, is it a little too much." This is the voice of Hu Cai's wife.

"Hmph, you are a woman, you know a fart, I am the village chief, why can I only drink gruel, but that kid can eat fish and meat every day, and he also sent some fish offal in a fake way, and I am also killed, I think that kid must have a grudge against me because of the death of his parents, and he asked me for it, so he made such a come."

"What does the death of his parents have to do with you?"

"Let's just say that you are a woman who doesn't understand anything! If it weren't for the deduction of some grain and rice donated by the imperial court to our relocated households, do you think our family of nine would be able to drink porridge every day! The two members of his grandson family did not receive food from me last year, and they were hungry and died of illness. ”

"Ahh And what do you want now? ”

"If the kid is cut off from food, he will starve to death in a few days, and then the land and grain he grows will be ours······"

There are more disgusting words in the back, Sun Xiangfu really can't listen to it, at this time, his fists have been clenched, and his knuckles are white, I can't imagine that the death of this body's parents has something to do with Hu Cai, and the fields of the people in the village who are almost extinct are probably all under Hu Cai's name, and Hu Cai is still using this method to trap people and plunder other people's property by the way, which is really unbearable for uncles and aunts.

However, Sun Xiangfu was angry and angry, but he was not carried away by anger, he was a person who knew the law and understood the law in later generations, even if Hu Cai was a heinous crime, he should be dealt with by the people of the government, if he was angry for a while, he would beat Hu Cai to death, and when he saw the official, he would become unreasonable.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu chose to endure for the time being, quietly came out of the fence yard, and walked quickly in the direction of his house.

"Vigorously, get up, I'm looking for something for you."

After a while, Sun Xiangfu told what he had just heard at Hu's house in front of Sun Dali's house, and Sun Dali, who learned the truth, was about to return to the house to get a firewood knife and chop Hu Cai, because his father also died last year, and Hu Cai was also his enemy, but Sun Xiangfu pulled him back.

"Bear with me, we have a way to clean him up."

So, the two of them picked out the yellow eel loach that usually doubled, went out of the village, and went to the Qin Mansion of Cuiyun Peak.

At dawn, two tired figures appeared in front of the door of Qinfu Villa, no need to knock on the door, the maids and servants in the house were routinely sprinkling and sweeping, and the side door was open.

"Hey, Brother Sun is here to deliver the fish, why is it so early today." The concierge Qin Xiaoliu said unexpectedly.

"There are some things in the past two days, so I sent two days of fish goods, please inform Uncle De." Sun Xiangfu hugged a fist.

After a while, Uncle De came over with four strings of copper coins, looked at the fish in the bucket, and was happy, several nobles in the house have been hungry for this in the past few days, and I heard that there will be guests in these two days, and they just doubled it, which can be used to entertain guests.

"Brother Sun's errand, it's exactly what I want, take this money, it's best to send more tomorrow."

"No, no, no, I don't want this money today, the reason why I came to deliver fish so early today is because I have something to ask for."

"Oh! Come. Uncle De was a little surprised, so he invited the two of them to sit down in the concierge and narrate slowly.

After a while, Uncle De, who was pumping in his chest, cursed, "This Hu is worthy of death, harming people and taking property, and now he has stolen your fishing guy business, and wants to cut off the supply of fish in the house, it is really annoying to me, you can rest assured, I will report to the master, just a message from the master, and the Xinfeng County Ya will be able to deal with it impartially." ”

Uncle De walked towards the inner courtyard in an atmosphere, he was a guest in charge, although he was not as majestic as the chief manager Qin Fu, but he also had the power to report things directly to the master Qin Qiong, and after a while, the strong man who drew a knife to Sun Xiangfu two days ago walked to the concierge under the leadership of Uncle De.

"Brother Sun, this is Qin Hu, the captain of the guard of the Guogong Mansion, he took the master's token, and he will arrive at the Xinfeng County Government in a while, you just have to inform the county order of the matter, and he will handle it impartially."

Sun Xiangfu gratefully saluted the two of them, and Qin Hu, who was tall and tall, stepped forward and said, "Can you two ride horses?" ”

Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali glanced at each other, he didn't know how to ride a horse in his previous life, but Sun Xiangfu in this world is a native of Youzhou, and Sun Dali, who was originally from Bingzhou, has been helping people raise horses and graze since he was a child, and he is very familiar with horseback riding, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"That's very good, you wait with me to ride the fast horse in Fuzhong, and you can get to Xinfeng County in an hour." After that, he led the two to the stable to lead the horses, and after a while, the three horses galloped towards the bottom of Cuiyun Mountain.

The horses of the Qin Mansion are all well-trained and sophisticated war horses, and in the case of light riding, they ran out of fifty or sixty miles in one hour, and Xinfeng County is in sight.

The county magistrate's office, Qin Hu showed the token of the Yiguo Mansion, and soon, he was regarded as a guest, the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the captain of the personal guard like Qin Hu, but a military general with the status of a seven-rank military attaché, and Zheng Peicheng of Xinfeng County was on the same level.

After a salute, Sun Xiangfu told Zheng Peicheng what happened last night, however, Zheng Peicheng did not have any righteous indignation, Sun Xiangfu looked at Zheng Peicheng with a squinting and thinking expression, and his heart was cold, it seems that he has thought about things simply, so many people starved to death in the village, but the court did not send officials to investigate, there was no county order, and even higher-level officials carried around, can this be done?

Besides, he is a foreign farmer, and he dares to embezzle the relief grain of the whole village just because he knows a few words? In case of any wind that is revealed to the governor or the county commander, how many lives does he have to die?

Sure enough, the Zheng County Order seemed to have figured out something, and said to Sun Xiangfu, "Embezzling the imperial court's relief grain is a big case, and there is no conclusive evidence, so this official advises you not to sue easily." ”
