In the study in the backyard of the Shen family, Shen Fang listened to the account room talking to him about the income and expenditure of the mansion last month, while looking at the account books in his hands and comparing them with each other, and would interject from time to time to ask a few details.

This is a habit he has developed over the years, and in the middle of every month, he will understand the money and food in and out of the previous month, so that he will not be deceived by the people below, and the Shen family can get better and better. When he heard the tent say that there were now more than 30,000 catties of grain in the warehouse, there was a hint of triumph in his eyes. Although nearly 20,000 of them do not belong to their own families, but are collected from the township and will be handed over to the government, as long as there is a variable, maybe he will be able to get rid of this large amount of grain.

At this moment, a noisy noise faintly came in from outside through the door, making Shen Fang's words pause and frown. What he hated most when he was doing serious things was to be disturbed, but then he thought of a little more, although his house is not a deep mansion compound like the sea, it also occupies a lot of land, and the study where he is hidden in the middle of the courtyard, how much noise does he have to make outside to disturb himself?

Shen Fang, who wanted to understand this, couldn't help but tighten his heart, and then couldn't help but put down the account book in his hand, and wanted to go out to see what was going on. And just as he stood up, there was a careful knock on the door, but the knock seemed a little urgent.

"Come in and talk." After taking a short breath, Shen Fang sat down again. After all, he has been reading books for many years, and he still has some qi cultivation skills.

The door opened in response, and the person standing outside was the old housekeeper Laifu, who was full of worry at this time, and said urgently as soon as he entered the door: "Master, there are villagers outside who are gathering to make trouble, and some people even want to rush into the door." ”

"What? What the hell is going on? Rao is Shen Fang was calm enough, but he was still startled when he heard this, and his face changed rapidly.

"They only said that you had embezzled their taxes and grains and wanted the yamen to force them to death, so they came to the lord themselves to ask for justice!" Laifu hurriedly said what those people outside said, of course, he would not relay those scolding words: "Although Shen Yong and a few of them have gone out to stop them, there are too many people making trouble, and I am afraid that they may not be able to resist anything." ”

Speaking of this, it seemed to confirm his statement, and the noise outside was a little louder, and it sounded like it was getting more and more intense, and it was about to turn around and do something. Shen Fang's face, who felt this, suddenly became even more ugly, and he couldn't sit still anymore: "Go, go out with me to see, who are so bold and dare to offend my Shen family in such a blue sky and white day!" After saying that, he walked out with a shake of his hand.

In the eyes of Master Shen, these peasants and people in this village are not worth mentioning, they are like a group of ants who can only obediently farm. So he felt that even if they made trouble, as long as he showed up and reprimanded him, the problem would naturally be solved.

But the facts quickly overturned his wishful thinking, and even gave him two slaps in the face.

When he came to the front door of his house, the situation had become worse and worse, and although Shen Yong and several other nursing homes were usually majestic, they were now facing hundreds of angry peasants holding hoes and rakes high. They had barely finished a few words when they were smashed in the face by the stones flying from the side, and finally they had to stand guard in front of the gate with sticks and confront the villagers.

It was also thanks to the fact that the villagers had been in awe of the Shen family for a long time, not everyone dared to come forward to attack, and only a few shouted and rushed up, so that a few house slaves barely stopped. But these people also suffered a few heavy blows, and they looked like they couldn't support it.

Seeing this scene, Master Shen was furious, and immediately rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, shouting: "You are so bold, you dare to attack my Shen family in broad daylight, is this a rebellion?" ”

When the few villagers who were about to rush forward heard this, they suddenly moved, obviously intimidated by Shen Fang's momentum, and only then did they relieve the siege of those domestic slaves.

But before Shen Fang could exude his domineering aura, a strange voice sounded: "What kind of royal law do you still have the face to talk about surnamed Shen?" If you swallow our food and let the government force us into a corner, we should die? Folks, no matter how powerful his Shen family is, he can't escape a single word! Otherwise, our whole family will be imprisoned for his greed! ”

These words had a rather incendiary effect, and many people immediately responded, and several irascible villagers even waved their weapons directly and beckoned towards Shen Fang and the others.

Master Shen really didn't expect that his threat would have the opposite effect, causing the originally calm crowd to suddenly erupt, which made him feel a little distracted. By this time, a hoe had already smashed towards his shoulder with the sound of whirring wind. If he does it all at once, he can unload his entire arm.

As a scholar, Shen Juren, who had almost never touched anyone, was completely stunned by this moment, and couldn't even dodge the action, so he could only watch the hoe fall.

Fortunately, he still had his own subordinates by his side, and Shen Yong hurriedly shouted: "Master, be careful!" He raised the stick with one hand and stepped back, pulling Shen Fang with the other. This time he saved Shen Fang and didn't get hit at once, but Shen Yong was hit twice because of this, and he was almost knocked to the ground.

Subsequently, the other family servants reacted, and hurriedly dragged their master back to the yard, and then many of them blocked him, which could be regarded as protecting him.

At this time, Shen Fang was completely frightened. It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thrilling situation, if Shen Yong was half a beat slower, he would have to be disabled. Subsequently, he also clearly realized that the current situation was far more dangerous than he thought, and if it was not good, let the villagers enter the door, I am afraid that the whole family will be finished.

"Quick! Close the door! Shen Fang, who finally came back to his senses, immediately gave a fairly sensible order.

After a period of hard work in the courtyard of a family slave, the people of the Shen family finally repelled this group of villagers and successfully closed the gate. However, the price paid by these house slaves is not small, almost everyone has hung up the lottery, especially Shen Yong's hands and feet have been discounted.

"Master, what can I do about this...... Wow" Only then did everyone look at their master in horror, waiting for him to come up with an idea. This courtyard gate may be strong enough on weekdays, but if it really wants to stop these red-eyed villagers, I am afraid that it will have a limited effect, and it will not be able to stop it for long.

In fact, Shen Fang's situation was not much better than theirs, and now he was just calming down. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Everyone is guarded, don't let them in, otherwise no one will survive." Rifle! ”

The old servant Laifu hurried over. He was old and frail, and it was naturally not his turn to do what he had just done, but he still seemed so loyal.

"Now we have to let the people from the government save us. You hurry up and rush to the county seat to report to the official while they haven't blocked our back door, and ask the county magistrate to quickly send someone to suppress the people's mutiny. Shen Fang immediately commanded.

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but then agreed: "The old slave will leave, you must protect the old man, don't let him be frightened." After instructing the house slaves on the side, Laifu quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

In the public housing of the county magistrate in Qufu County, Lu Zhen was playing against Qiu Changyuan.

However, it is obvious that Lu Jin, a traveler, is not proficient in this black and white way, and it takes a long time for each son to fall, and then after he falls, he finds that the situation has become worse.

However, if you don't look at the chessboard and only look at the faces of the two of them, I'm afraid some people will think that Qiu Changyuan will be at an absolute disadvantage, because he is frowning deeply at this time, looking worried.

Of course, Qiu Xianling was not sad because he was going to play chess with Lu Jin, a stinky chess basket, but because of the move that was going to be implemented today. That was a dangerous move that would change the current situation in the county, which made him really uneasy, for fear of causing an uncontrollable situation.

Seeing that Lu Zhen finally fell behind after thinking for a while, Qiu Changyuan cautiously asked, "My lord, won't there really be any aftermath of this matter?" Once the fake becomes true and provokes a popular uprising, the lower officials really can't afford it. ”

"Qiu County ordered you to put a hundred hearts, it is impossible for the people to really make a mess if they are not forced to a certain extent. Today is just a show, as long as the pressure is enough on those big grain chiefs, they will naturally back down and compromise, and hand over the grain to appease the anger of the people. Lu Zhen smiled and comforted.

"But...... If there really is a ...... in case," Qiu Changyuan said with great anxiety.

"There is no such thing as foolproofness in this world, and you have to take a certain risk in everything, even if you drink saliva, you can choke on it, right? Since what we are trying to do is to suppress the Kong family, it is naturally worth taking this risk. Don't worry too much, we're in control. Lu Zhen said after frowning.

"What the adults have taught me is that the lower officials are too worried." Although he said that, the gloom on Qiu Changyuan's face was still full, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Just when the two of you, one son and one son and one son fell, and Lu Zhen soon fell into a complete disadvantage, and there was no possibility of a reversal, Zhang Xian, the household warden, came to the door excitedly: "My lord, Laifu, the old servant of the Shen family in Yuanxi Village, suddenly came to the county government for help, saying that the local villagers suddenly made a disturbance and besieged the Shen family's house, and I hope that our county government will quickly send someone to rescue and get people!" ”

"Is it coming?" Lu Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Then do what you prepared before, and let Zhang Dianyou take people on this trip." ”

"Yes, little one." As soon as he heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in Zhang Xian's eyes, he could be regarded as having found an opportunity!
