One of these two people has a black-skinned tiger beard, and the other has a red face and long hair, and the two of them arched their hands to Chao Gai and said, "Chao Baozheng, I'm sorry, I know that you have guests here, we shouldn't have come to bother, but the county lord and the envoy are urging urgently, and our Dongxi Village's field book must be cleared." ”

Chao Gai first introduced and said, "Two, these two are the heads of our county, one is called the winged tiger Lei Heng, and the other is called the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong, both of whom are martial arts and are also righteous. The two are both heads, these two are Jiang De, Jiang Xiaolangjun, Xu Guanzhong, and Mr. Xu, both of whom are nobles from the Daimyo's mansion. ”

The four of them saw the ceremony, and Wu Yong stepped forward and asked, "The two heads just said that the county lord is urging, is it the matter of the field again?" ”

Lei Heng stammered, "But... But isn't it, that... The envoy of that killing just .. Handful.. Seal that Liang Shanbo... It's sealed! ”

Zhu Tong saw the effort of Lei Heng's words, so he spoke: "The envoy sealed Liangshan, and the people were not allowed to fish and harvest lotus roots. The people of Shijie Village are unwilling, they have been arrested several times, and now Liangshan Bo is sealed, this envoy has begun to focus on our fields again, and the county lord has ordered that within five days, all villages must collect all the field books and hand them over to the envoy for review, otherwise they will be severely punished! ”

Wu Yong frowned slightly and said, "This field book is easy to hand, but what this field wants is not to check the field, but to ask for our field!" ”

Jiang De asked, "What?" Has the harm done to this point already be done? ”

Chao Gai scratched his head and said to Lei Heng and the others, "They are all brothers, I will tell the truth, I have the field books of Dongxi Village, I am afraid that the envoy and the county will not recognize it, for example, the whole county of Xianyuan was actually investigated all the way to the Zhenguan period, and it is not enough, it was forcibly divided into public land by the whole county, and countless rich families went bankrupt in one day, you say... Will our Yuncheng follow suit? ”

"Immortal Yuan? Where is this? Jiang De also knows the geography of Shandong, but he has never heard of this place, Xu Guanzhong explained, "It is the hometown of Confucius, the original Lu County, also known as Qufu." ”

Jiang De sighed and asked strangely, "Could it be that this envoy has even taken the Kong family's land as public land?" I would like to say that I admire this guts. ”

Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said, "This dynasty highly respects Confucius and Mencius, the Confucian family's field rent in Xianyuan is used for sacrificing Confucius, which is related to the blood and food of the Holy Ancestor, so the harvest year does not increase, and the bad year does not decrease, it is called the rent of ten thousand years, in order to ensure the wealth of the Confucian family, all the public land rents in Xianyuan are given to the Confucian family, so it is not so much that the whole territory of Xianyuan is used as a public land, it is better to say that it is all given to the Confucian family." ”

Jiang De couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach for a while, he said, I don't know how many squires who colluded with each other in the Northern Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, and there are even cultivators and scholars who are in high positions in the officialdom.

Zhu Tong said helplessly, "Chao Baozheng, this matter has come to this point, I think we can only break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, you have to plan your own life, we have to go to other villages to inform it." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly said, "It's not easy to come here, why don't you eat some water and wine before leaving." ”

Lei Heng waved his hand and said, "Our brother... Brothers.. Two people, can't help.. Help you guys say. It's already very.. I'm sorry, but where else... What the.. What kind of face to eat and drink? ”

Saying that, Lei Heng and Zhu Tong left with people, and after Chao Gai sent the two away, he came back and said to Jiang De and the others, "I wanted to drink and talk with the two brothers, but I didn't expect such a bird incident to happen again, it's really..."

Jiang De arched his hand and said, "Since Baozheng has something, it is inconvenient for me to continue to disturb, if Baozheng has something, you can go to the county Yatianzheng Restaurant to find it, if there is any difficulty, you can also write to Tokyo or Neihuang to find me, I will definitely help!" ”

As he spoke, Jiang De clapped his hands, and a warrior stepped forward with a plate of silver, Jiang De said, "I have heard of the people in the fields everywhere, they are all greedy for money, and it is impossible to keep the people's fields without bleeding. ”

Chao Gai was moved in his heart, and was about to say something, Wu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun is so heroic, I can't wait to postpone it, even if Bao Zheng accepts it, we will pay it back slowly in the future." ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "What's it?" We wait for each other, righteousness first, money and land, can be given up, okay, this green mountain does not change, green water flows, I will wait for a period later! ”

Chao Gai arched his hand and said, "In this case, we thank Xiao Langjun very much!" ”

After Jiang De and the others left, Chao Gai and Wu Yong continued to drink, and praised Jiang De's righteousness while talking about how to deal with the government.

At this time, another person arrived panting, he looked at Chao Gai in the courtyard and asked, "Chao Baozheng, is there a little Langjun looking for you?" ”

Chao Gai looked at the man and said in surprise, "Brother Song Jiang? What are you doing here? Are you talking about Jiang De and Jiang Xiaolangjun? ”

Song Jiang was still panting, and said, "It's this person, you've already seen it?" What did this person say? Why did he come to find his brother? ”

Chao Gai helped Song Jiang to sit down and said, "I've seen it, this Jiang De Jiang Xiaolangjun is really loyal and brave, come, I'll tell you slowly." ”

Then, Chao Gai told Jiang Deyi about sending gold and silver, Song Jiang listened and first praised Jiang De's righteousness, and then said, "Chao Baozheng can know the identity of this Jiang De?" ”

Chao Gai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It should be just a rich businessman, is there any other identity?" ”

Song Jiang sighed, "My brother missed the opportunity, as far as I know, this Jiang De is still the godnephew of Liang Zhongshu left behind in the Daimyo Mansion, and the godnephew of Cai Jing, the imperial master, and also has a friendship with the official family, if you can go through his path and let him go and talk to the envoy, won't my brother's field be kept?" That's what I thought about, so I came here. ”

Chao Gai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This matter is not appropriate, since Xiao Langjun did not take the initiative to say it, it means that this matter is not good, I am afraid that if I wait to say it, it will only make Xiao Langjun embarrassed, but it will damage our righteousness." ”

Song Jiang frowned and said, "Since my brother thinks so, it is also reasonable, but the younger brother is a villain in vain." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly said, "Brother Song Jiang is talking about something, it just so happens that there is wine here, I will talk while drinking." ”

Wu Yong got up at this time and said, "Two elder brothers, the younger brother suddenly felt some discomfort in his stomach and wanted to go back and rest." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly said, "I'm afraid I'm a little anxious to drink just now, the pedant hurry up and go back to rest, don't get sick." ”
