Li Feibai said: "The food stamp is true, but what is written on it?" ”

Deng Zhutou's heart tightened, and he was relieved when he thought that Li Feibai couldn't read a few big characters, and thought: "You can't read and write, don't you just say as much as I want?" Said: "It is written on it that Xiapan Village should pay 380 stone of grain, and it is instructed to pay the grain by the end of June." ”

Li Feibai said: "Can you let me take a look?" ”

Deng Zhutou said: "You don't know how to read, what do you seem to do?" ”

Li Feibai smiled and said, "That's right, I'm illiterate, but I can't guarantee that some of my fathers and fellow villagers are literate." He asked the villagers standing behind him, "Are there anyone who can read?" The villagers all shook their heads. He asked the servants, "Are you literate?" ”

A forced servant stepped forward and said, "I've been in a private school for two years, and I recognize a few words!" He usually thinks of himself as a showman, but now he sees that he is the only one literate among the people in the courtyard, and he said secretly: "I didn't expect that I would also show my face one day, and I showed a big face among so many people." There are a few girls in Xiapan Village who are good-looking, and maybe they can ask for a daughter-in-law to go back. Therefore, there is a clear smug in the words.

Jiang Guoxian was taken aback. Although he can't read a few words, he knows that this year's imperial grain has been halved. In order to share the soup and drink from it, he passed a message to each of them with a clear conscience, and this year's imperial grain was paid in full. This is forcing people to die, if this forced servant can understand the content of the food stamp, how can he still mix in the royal house, he is afraid that he will be killed in the middle of the night. He threw the branch of his forearm at the laborer, and scolded, "Which one of the huts did not tie his belt and exposed you." Look at what you can, don't hurry up and get me back. ”

The force soldier was defenseless, was smashed to the ground, and retreated into the crowd with his forehead covered.

Li Feibai was a big myopia before he crossed over, but the eyesight of the person he possessed after crossing was excellent. He was not far from Deng Bantou, although he didn't see what was written on the ticket, but he had seen that the number of words on it was much more than what Deng Bantou said. "I don't know how to read, but I can count!" Or Deng Bantou asked me to count the words on the food stamps to see if there were only the words you said. ”

Deng Bantou was willing to let him count, stuffed the food stamps into the blanket around his waist, and shouted: "Where are there so many things!" I also let you see the food stamps, and I also said the content, if you know each other, hurry up and collect the imperial grain, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind! Come on, take down this evasion for me first! ”

Li Feibai said to the forced labor: "Wait, let me say a few more words, everyone listen to what I say is reasonable!" Deng Bantou didn't dare to let the literate brother look at the food stamps, and he didn't dare to let me count the words on it, could it be that the content of the food stamps was fundamentally different from what he said? The brother also stayed in the county for a few days, serving the lord of Zhenfu, and usually listened to the old man's chatter, saying that Jiajing Ye is really a benevolent monarch, knowing that we have a natural disaster in this realm, and specially exempted the imperial grain. Moreover, my brother Zheng also said that he participated in the errand of the ticket to urge the food stamp, and it was clearly written on the top that Xiapan Village should have paid 360 stone of grain, but because of the severe drought in the province for several years, the people lived in hardship. Today, I am sympathetic to the people, and the special grace is less than half of the imperial grain, and the actual payment is 180 stones! ”

The laborers first heard Li Daning say that this year's imperial grain is less than half, although it is not shown on their faces, they are all looking forward to it in their hearts: "If this is really good, there will be hope for the future." "But they are used to suffering, and they don't believe that the world can really fall into such a good thing. At this time, I heard Li Feibai say it in such detail, and Li Feibai had just rushed back from the county seat, so he couldn't help but believe it a little more, and stood there hesitating.

Deng Bantou was only afraid that if the forced labor believed Li Feibai's words and did not listen to the call, there would be no one available at that time, and the matter of urging food would be in vain, so he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and arrest this person who confuses the public, confronts the government, and tries not to accept the imperial grain." ”

Li Feibai continued to fight for hard labor, and said: "If you don't believe it, come with me to the county government tomorrow and personally ask the county magistrate if this year's imperial grain is less than half." ”

The servants usually have a servant, and they are like mice seeing cats, how dare they go to see the county order. Isn't that the old birthday star hanging, and he thinks his life is long? They all flinched, and under the urging of Jiang Guoxian, they continued to move forward.

Li Feibai said again: "I know that everyone is afraid of seeing officials, so they don't dare to ask." Is this good, I came back this time with Ma Kun Ma Ge, the leader of the officials. Brother Ma has a case in the royal house, and he has gone to handle the case, so he will come to dinner today or early tomorrow morning. Anyway, there is no hurry to urge food, everyone waits, and when Brother Ma comes, just ask him if he is okay! ”

All the servants thought to themselves, "Then wait until tomorrow morning?" If the leader of the government really came, although he didn't dare to ask, the person in front of him dared to ask! No matter what the answer is, you will just listen to it and you won't get into any trouble. So he hesitated again.

Deng Bantou sneered: "There is a case in Wangwu Township, can I still know as the head of the fast team?" Why did my brother Ma come with you, I went to the royal house to investigate the case first, and I will come in a while! Hehe, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. He was even more convinced in his heart that Li Feibai was talking nonsense, he must be serving in the county seat, and when he heard that the imperial grain had been halved, he rushed back and talked nonsense, the purpose of which was to pay less imperial grain and let himself return in vain. Said: "Boy, do you know what it means to say too much and lose it?" What is my brother's identity, and what is your identity, will he come with you? What are you! ”

He turned his head and said to Jiang Guoxian: "I can't even control my own people, I see that you, the lieutenant chief, have also done it, go home and serve your wife and children!" ”

Jiang Guoxian's face was flushed with shame, and he kicked down a forced servant, and said, "What the hell are you doing in a daze, selling your face there?" Don't dare to take him down soon! ”

Suddenly there was a shout outside the door: "I see who dares to do it!" ”

Deng Bantou first confronted Li Daning today, and then was obstructed by Li Feibai. He felt that today was really not going well, and he had already been on fire, and he didn't listen carefully to who the person who was talking, and scolded: "Who thinks that you don't want to live anymore, believe it or not, Lao Tzu hit your head with a bang." As he spoke, he swept his right hand and put it on the head of the person who was going to do it. Before he could hold the head of the visitor, he could see who it was, and the whole person stayed there, not moving.

Ma Kun came at a trot all the way, and he was already out of breath, holding his knees with both hands and bending over to gasp. After he took a breath, he straightened up, looked at the mouth of the black hole in front of him, and said, "Deng Bao, what do you mean by holding this thing, do you want to hit my head with a bang." ”

Deng Bao hurriedly put the gun into his arms and said, "No! Brother Ma, how dare I point a gun at you. ”

Ma Kun stretched out his hand and said, "Don't take it, give it to me!" ”

Deng Bao turned his mouth, held it in both hands, and handed it to Ma Kun very respectfully, saying, "If Brother Ma likes it, I will give it to you." ”

Ma Kun put the gun into his arms, stretched out his hand again, and said, "Hand over the waist knife and waist card too!" ”

Deng Bao didn't know what it meant to hand over the waist knife and waist card, that was to expel his status as a servant, and said, "Brother Ma......"

Ma Kun raised his leg and kicked Deng Bao to the point of staggering, and scolded: "Who the hell is your brother Ma, called the leader of the horse!" ”

Deng Bao stood firm and said, "Horse leader!" ”

Ma Kun stretched out his hand and shouted: "Hand over the waist knife and waist card!" ”

Deng Bao dared not comply, so he had to untie the waist knife and hand it over. Ma Kun accepted it, walked up to Li Feibai, and said, "Brother Feibai, I'm ashamed of you as a brother!" It's all to blame for my brother's lax control, and please don't blame my brother! ”
