"Yuan'er, if you cause such a big disaster, then Mao Cheng will definitely not let you go, or ...... Or ......"

When Sun Yuan helped his mother into the house, Sun Li cried for a long time and took out the deed of the three acres of paddy fields from his arms.

Sun Yuan shook his head and pushed his mother's hand back: "If we send the deed a few days earlier, maybe it's okay, but today it won't work." This is no longer a matter of pretending to take away our family's property, but also involves the government. Even if we give in, we can't suppress this matter. Moreover, with the character of a villain, I am afraid that I will not only want our land, but also my life. ”

"That's good, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" The mother began to cry again: "Yuan'er, my mother is also confused, when I came to collect taxes with a servant, my mother should have given him the title deed directly." It's just that my mother wants to rely on these three acres of land to marry and have children for you, and continue the incense of our Sun family. If there is no land, our mother and wife will be hired farmers, and which woman will be willing to endure hardships with you. ”

Sun Yuan touched the back of his mother's hand: "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself, the matter has already come out, besides, how can our Sun family's land be cheap and cheap." The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the problem. According to his son, early tomorrow morning, the county magistrate will come to the door to get people, and the matter must be concluded within one day. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Li came to his senses at this time, his face was full of nervousness: "Yuan'er, why don't we escape?" ”

"Escape, how to escape, where to escape?" Sun Yuan frowned and asked rhetorically.

"yes, where to escape, what are we going to do?" The mother was stunned, and tears fell again.

"You can't escape." Sun Yuan quickly dispelled his mother's thoughts: "We are poor people with no long things, and we are afraid that we will starve to death if we can't walk for two days." ”

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict household registration system, not to mention the war-torn north. In the relatively peaceful generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, ordinary people have to go to the government to issue a road guide when they go out for a hundred miles, explaining the reason and date of going out. Otherwise, they will be imprisoned as refugees.

This is still one of them, the key is that their mother and son have nowhere to go when they leave Yangzhou Mansion, and it is difficult to move an inch without money, so is it difficult to let their mother go to be a beggar?

"What if you don't run away?" Sun Li wiped his tears and said, "Yuan'er, you are causing a big disaster. It's not good to offend someone, but you have to offend it. They want to come to us to play tricks, and we can endure it, at most we will let them beat them, and no one will die. Now it's good...... Whining...... Otherwise, we will go to the family overnight and kneel down, and ask him to give us a way to live for the sake of everyone being a villager. ”

"A manly man, there is gold under his knees, how can he kneel that villain." Sun Yuan shook his head: "Mother, don't cry, let your son think about it." ”

With that, he sat down at the table and looked at the flickering lights and pondered.

yes, things are getting troublesome now.

If you are not mistaken, early tomorrow morning, the two officials, one tall and one short, will definitely report their violent tax resistance to the yamen. Regardless of who is right or wrong, he has violated the law. In order to maintain the majesty of the government, the magistrate will inevitably file a case and send someone to arrest him.

In other words, the matter must be resolved before the case is filed, and there is not much time left for yourself.

So, how do you fix it?

If this is Henan or Shaanxi, if such a thing falls on my head, I will beat the official messenger, and it is a big deal to force Liangshan to go to Li Zicheng overnight.

With his own prophetic prescience as a modern person, I am afraid that I will not be able to mix up a person.

However, this is also a matter of thought.

In these years, rebellion is not a good choice, Li Zicheng is a rogue, and it will not work. Moreover, this is Yangzhou, and now Li Zicheng is still far away at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, and Sun Yuan does not think that he and his mother can travel through the two provinces and reach their destination in the troubled times.

Sun Yuan had a headache when he thought about it, and secretly warned himself: You can't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, you have to start from the beginning.

The beginning of the matter was that the Sun family had three acres of fine paddy fields, and Baozheng was relying on his power and wanted to use the power of the government to force the Sun family to give the land with heavy taxes and attach themselves to the impostor family.

The impostor is a well-dressed family with tax-free privileges. Moreover, the Mao family is the first family in Rugao, and most of the children of the disciples hold positions in the local government, so it can be said that they single-handedly control the grassroots organizations of the Ming Dynasty in Rugao County.

In a sense, the reason why Mao Cheng is so rampant in the township is because in the eyes of ordinary people, he, Baozheng, is the representative of the state apparatus. To oppose him is to oppose the court.

If he hadn't been wearing the skin of Baozheng, this guy would just be an ordinary person.

To put it mildly, don't say it's pretty, just that cat and dog can be this chief, even if it was down again, it can be a blessing in an instant.

The reason why Mao Cheng was able to maintain his position was mainly because his surname was Mao and he was a member of the Mao family. Moreover, this person is also an expert in sending grain and dispatches for the county. It can be said that he alone has the final say on who should provide how much grain and what kind of work should be sent. Ordinary people were afraid of his power, and they didn't understand the country's tax laws, so they let him make a decision.

Mao Cheng is a Mao family, Mao Jia is the biggest force in Rugao, he has such a backstage, Sun Yuan, as a helpless people, what can he do with him?

It's hard for me to be tied up like this, if only I had such a big backer behind me. But for a while, I went to look for it from there, and besides, in the entire Rugao County, what force could be greater than the impostor. The head of the Mao family, Mao Qizong, is a big man who even the government will give three points of face, even if Zhou Xiangchun, the magistrate of the county, saw the former court member Mao Qizong, he had to politely call "Mao Deputy Envoy." ”

Zhixian ...... By the way, why didn't I think of this?

At this time, a thought suddenly surged in my heart.

If I can climb the big tree in Zhou Zhi County, the little one should not be able to do anything to my Sun Yuan. However, this is very difficult to do, but it is always unwilling not to try.

It's better than going down the road of being a homeless person.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked his mother, "Mother, how much money is left at home?" ”

Sun Lishi: "There are more than 200 Wen left. ”

"Give it all to me."

"Yes, yes, take the money and run away, you can leave me alone." The mother was mistaken, hurriedly hugged the crockpot from under the bed, and while crying, she took out the copper coins inside, and kept stuffing them into Sun Yuan's arms.

Sun Yuan smiled: "My son won't escape, I'll go to the county seat immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, Yuan'er, you go to your sister's house and hide for a few days. Wait for the limelight to pass, and come back. ”

"I'm going to my sister's house." Sun Yuan smiled and thought: You can't hide, with my brother-in-law's bad temperament, I really went to live at his house, and if I didn't get into the house with the front foot, I was sued by that guy with the back foot.

That guy is not trustworthy.

Of course, it is not easy to say this to my mother.

"Mother is right, when the wind is not so tight, I will go home."

After speaking, he was not in a hurry, so he boiled the water, washed her feet for her mother, and served her to go to bed to rest, then took the door and walked towards the county seat by moonlight.
