Chapter 0187: Saving People

Jiang Wanhe reacted, got up from the ground with a bone, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, save people, save people"

As he spoke, he crawled to the ground and ran towards Lu Fei who was lying on the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shun and the others didn't run too far, but just found a hidden place to look at it from a distance, and when they saw the county master injured and fell to the ground, Li Shun was also frightened and screamed, just like this stick was hitting him, he couldn't care about anything else, just die, and rushed out in a hurry.

Jiang Wanhe lifted Lu Fei's upper body, shook it, and said in a trembling voice with a crying voice, "Adult, adult, wake up, you can't die."

Li Shun also arrived at this time, although he was anxious, but he was still there, most of the scholars in ancient times were familiar with medical knowledge, Li Shun checked the injuries of the county master, touched the pulse again, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, you, who are you?" Li Shun looked at Jiang Wanhe.

Steward Hu hurriedly said, "This is the chief here, Jiang Wanhe, Brother Jiang, this is the county master's right-hand man, Master Li."

When Jiang Wanhe heard that it was someone from the county, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Master Li, you came just in time, the county master injured himself himself, but I don't have anything to do."

Jiang Wanhe got together, Lu Fei's upper body that was supported by him fell back to the ground, Li Shun hurriedly helped him up again, he didn't have the face to say that Jiang Wanhe was not, when the county master was beaten, he picked up his tail and ran away, and said, "What's the use of talking about this now, quick, carry the adults back, find Lang Zhong, bandage it, don't cause tetanus."

Jiang Wanhe nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, the cold house is not far from here, you can send it to me first, Steward Hu, you know the way, you take them over, I will go to the set to invite Langzhong"

In order to apologize, they rolled up their sleeves, looked for all the materials, and made a simple stretcher temporarily, led by Steward Hu, and carried Lu Fei to Jiang Wanhe's home.

At this time, in the deep grass not far away, two shadows also got up and left.

The two sisters, covered with silk scarves, Ling Ning's eyes were moist, and she said leisurely, "Sister, do you think this adult is a good official?" ”

Ling Dan was also a little confused by Lu Fei's actions, but in her eyes, none of the people who helped Zhao Fu to collect fishing rent were good things, she said, "There is a good thing in the official, this is just a means for him to protect himself, I will kill him tonight to see who dares to come to collect fishing rent again in the future."

Ling Ning was in a hurry, and stopped in front of his sister, panicking, his eyes were full of willingness, "Sister, you, don't kill him, he is a good person, how can a bad official beat himself"

Ling Dan smiled coldly, and reached out to wipe away the tears that had not yet dripped from the corners of his sister's eyes, "My good sister, people are not as simple as you think, look at you, look at you and cry, I really don't know what your heart is made of, okay, I will meet him again in the evening, if he is the same as that Wang Xiancheng, I will not be merciful."

Ling Ning crooked his mouth and walked forward, saying as he walked, "Then you may have asked clearly, you can't kill a good person by mistake"

Ling Dan stopped and wondered, "Why do you care so much about him, you can't like him, right?" ”

Ling Ningqiao's face turned red, but fortunately, there was a silk scarf across it, and she hurriedly explained, "Sister, how can there be!" ”

Ling Dan chuckled, "You still said no, look at your ears are red"

The remnant sun slopes westward, reflecting the lake surface red.

Lu Fei was lying on a cool bed in the courtyard of Jiang Wanhe's house, through the courtyard door, he quietly looked at the evening scene in the lake in the distance, motionless, it seemed that the picturesque scenery was deeply attracted to him, the mountains here, the water here, in this evening, is so quiet, the sound of dogs barking in the village comes and goes, as if welcoming the family members who are resting at sunset, the birds fly happily on the branches after returning to the nest, and the house swallows that go out also sweep over Lu Fei's head with food, and fall under the eaves of the Jiang family, attracting a few small swallows in the nest to open their mouths wideTwittering......

"Ouch! Lang Zhong, you tap" Lu Fei suddenly shrank his head back, twisting his face.

Lang Zhong, who was squatting next to Lu Fei, stood up, rubbed his hands, and smiled, "Okay, my lord, you can move now, the wound has been bandaged, it's not in the way, my lord is relieved."

Li Shun, Jiang Wanhe, and Steward Hu, who were gathered around, also came over.

Jiang Wanhe's waist was bent at ninety degrees, his hands arched, his face was full of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, "The adults are fine, and they are much more at ease in the next place, if the adults have three long and two short, it is really impossible to redeem the death in the next place."

Lu Fei touched the gauze wrapped around his head, and glanced at Jiang Wanhe with slanted eyes, "Jiang Wanhe, Jiang Dali, ah, do you say I want to thank you, or scold you, that's how you educate the people?" It's okay, you want to be beautiful, what about a concussion? Isn't this good if you don't have a thousand eight hundred taels of silver? How cool are you? ”

Jiang Wanhe swallowed his saliva and pointed to the courtyard gate.

"Stay there, I won't speak, don't move" Lu Fei waved his hand.

Li Shun saw that the old man was alive again, and he could count the people, so he was also relieved, but now that this courtyard is a place of right and wrong, the old man is determined to teach Jiang Wanhe a lesson, and it will be his turn, so he will avoid the limelight first, so Li Shun slowly moved his footsteps to the inner room.

"Shrink, shrink, shrink, it's all addicted, come here" Lu Fei turned his head to look at Li Shun.

Li Shun secretly complained, smiled, and ran over, "Master, you are really a lucky person with your own celestial phenomena, it's good to have nothing to do, it's good to have nothing."

Lu Fei picked up the strip of cloth that had just been used to wipe the blood stains on the cool bed, and threw it on Li Shun's face casually, "You can do it, you, talent, Liu Xiang is not as fast as you, dare to let the master play heads-up in that person, do you want to do it, ouch!" As soon as his body moved, Lu Fei felt a wave of nausea.

Li Shunzhen blushed, leaned over and patted the old man on the back, "Master, don't count me down, I regret this intestine, this stick hits you, it's really like it hurts me, if you have an accident, what can I do?"

As Master Li spoke, he was so regretful that he was about to burst into tears.

"You, what are you doing? Don't, don't touch me, what do you want to do? You are a person who has a wife, stay away, stay away from me, stay away, why didn't you see it before, you still have this hobby, ouch, goosebumps on my body" Lu Fei suddenly jumped up from the cool bed, shook his clothes, and looked at Li Shun with a very strange look.

Li Shun looked dazed, "What did the master say?" , I, I, did I say something wrong? ”

Steward Hu also came over, with a smile on his face, and said to Lu Fei, "Lord Lu's actions today are really a beautiful talk, with his body and ambition, a civil uprising was resolved in a breath, and Hu was full of admiration."

When Lu Fei saw Steward Hu, he remembered the civil change just now, from Steward Hu's happy face, it seemed as if he knew that this would happen, otherwise how could he have to go forward when he left Zhao's Mansion, and what did he say to notify him in advance, so that the villagers could welcome it, this welcome scene is really different, could it be that this old boy is secretly playing ghosts? It doesn't make sense, Steward Hu is a person from the Zhao Mansion, how can there be a person who lifts a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Thoughts are ideas, Lu Fei knows a little bit even if he is not sophisticated, this Hu Steward is not under his jurisdiction, and the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion are not the turn of the county master to educate, forget it, give him some face first, and then settle accounts with him when I find out about this matter.

Lu Fei snorted lightly, and then grinned, "TOEFL TOEFL, fortunately, you Steward Hu will take care of it first, otherwise the villagers will have to dismantle me."

Steward Hu sneered, "I'm ashamed, it happened suddenly, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect this group of fishermen to dare to offend the county master, Hu Mou confessed to the adult."

Lu Fei didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and waved his hand, "Forget it, you are the big housekeeper of the county horse mansion, how dare I, the county master, ask you for the crime, that, Li Shun, prepare a sedan chair, go back to the county office"

Jiang Wanhe heard that the county master was leaving, what kind of business, he didn't even have a chance to atone for his sins, so he hurriedly stood by the courtyard gate and arched his hand, "My lord, it's getting late, and the country roads are inconvenient for night walking, so it's better to stay for one night, and go back to the county tomorrow, so as to give the lowly post a chance to make up for it."

Li Shun also said, "Yes, master, you also saw it when you came here, all the way to the mountains and mountains, the road is not safe at night, it is better to leave tomorrow."

Lu Fei remembered the dense pine forest all the way, these years the beasts are rampant, yes, let's go tomorrow, so he nodded and said, "That's okay, Jiang Wanhe, do you have a secluded place here, master, I like to be quiet at night."

In fact, Lu Fei was afraid that those fishermen would come back at night, and if he couldn't leave, he could only find a hidden place to sleep.

Jiang Wanhe immediately turned his worries into joy, and finally had a chance to pat himself on the back, "Yes, although the humble house is simple, but if you want to say that it is remote, there is really such a place, I just don't know if you like it."

Lu Fei turned his head and looked at the Jiang family's house, although it was much better than the ordinary fisherman's house, but it was indeed not a rich family, and there were only a few tiled houses behind him, so it was not remote and unsafe.

Jiang Wanhe seemed to see the county master's thoughts, pointed his hand to the outside of the courtyard, and said, "The humble ancestor has built a dozen acres of water outside this village, and the humble ancestor is usually quiet, so he built a few houses on this small island in the middle of the lake, and when he has time, he can go up and sit, and the adults can rest there at night."

An island in the middle of a lake? Lu Fei couldn't help but be happy, this Jiang Wanhe is really interesting, what is not good to learn, you have to learn from those hermits of idle clouds and wild cranes, what kind of mood is there to play, but when I think of this lake that the ancestor of the Jiang family cultivated, isn't that his family's private property, will this be like that Zhao Junma, it was simply taken by ingenuity.

Lu Fei walked out of the courtyard gate and looked in the direction Jiang Wanhe pointed out by the afterglow of the setting sun, but there were too many trees, and he didn't see the more than ten acres of water he said, so he asked suspiciously, "Jiang Wanhe, the lake that your ancestors cultivated?" I don't think your family is like someone who can dig a lake."

Lu Fei glanced at Li Shun when he asked this, meaning that he was asking him if he knew about it, but Li Shun didn't have any reaction, obviously he didn't know, although Li Shun was from Susong, but he really hadn't been here a few times, even if he came there, he wouldn't care who a small lake was, how big this small lake was, how could there be such a story about the three hundred miles of Great Lake.

Jiang Wanhe smiled, he naturally understood what the county master was worried about, the Zhao family occupied the big lake, which was shameful to the world, and finally forced these fishermen to a dead end, and couldn't bear it, they joined forces, refused to pay the rent and have not gone out of the lake to fish for more than ten consecutive days, anyway, no matter how many fish they catch, it is only enough to pay the high rent tax of the Zhao family.

But the Jiang family's lake is different, it is really private property.

Jiang Wanhe said, "My lord doesn't know, this lake is indeed owned by the Jiang family, and the documents excavated back then are still there, if you don't believe it, you will go and get it."

Looking at Jiang Wan and Chengken's appearance, Lu Fei believed his words a little, so he didn't need to read the paperwork, so he stopped him and asked, "What are your ancestors doing digging this lake?" Fish farming? ”

Jiang Wanhe's face was embarrassed, and said, "No, no, the ancestors of the Jiang family are also a family of good and honest families, but when it comes to the generation of lowly officials, hey, ashamed, the family is in the middle of the road, and it is defeated in the hands of my unfilial descendants, as for the origin of this lake, I have heard my father say one or two, saying that it is the lowly grandfather who chose a place outside the village for a hundred years before his death, not far from this lake, at that time it was still a wasteland, and there is a hill over there, there was a feng shui gentleman at that time, and my grandfather said that it was a yin house, but it was auspicious, The name is called the dragonfly point *** cave field Xuanwu hangs his head, Li Que Xiang dances, the green dragon meanders, the white tiger is tamed, the cave eye hides the wind and gathers qi, if you point to the point*** will be able to be full of descendants, great fortune and wealth, the only deficiency is the water of this water, from there you can't see the big lake at all, too far away, the dragonfly point water is in name only, but the feng shui Mr. said that there is no water can be artificially added, make a water out, grandpa is convinced, spend a lot of money to get the wasteland, before and after half a year, this lake is from this, It is indeed the private property of the Jiang family, and there should be a record in the county on this matter, since the day the lake was formed, there has never been a single fish and shrimp in the lake, and the reason for this is unknown."

Lu Fei didn't expect that this lake would have such a bizarre origin, the ancestors of the Jiang family are really rich, but this Mr. Feng Shui is eighty percent of a half-level, and the Jiang family is now in the middle of the road.

At this moment, a group of villagers were slowly moving towards the Jiang family, but they seemed to be a little scared, and they stopped for a while, and the one who walked in front was the old man who appeared during today's trouble.

Jiang Wanhe was afraid that these people would come to make trouble again, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, you go back to the house and sit down for a while, and then deal with it" He didn't dare to let the county master have anything to do now.

Of course, Lu Fei is happy to be relaxed, not to mention that no matter how much he talks with these fishermen, he can't solve the matter of fishing rent, and the problem is not the fishermen, but he has to start from elsewhere.

Li Shun helped Lu Fei into the Jiang family's house, but Steward Hu wanted to see what was going on, so he walked towards the group of people with Jiang Wanhe.

"Old Zhangtou, what else do you want to do? The county magistrate doesn't care about what he did today, what else are you going to do? Do you really want the county magistrate to put you all in prison? Jiang Wanhe said evilly, pointing at Lao Zhang's head.

Lao Zhangtou knew that he had injured the county master, and he regretted it too much, and when he heard that the county master was injured and lived in the chief's house, he brought the troublemakers to apologize to the county master.

Lao Zhangtou said again and again, "Chief, we know that we are wrong, the county lord is a good official, isn't this why we are here to kowtow to the county magistrate, just to ask for his forgiveness"

How could Steward Hu tolerate this kind of affair between the government and the people, without waiting for Jiang Wanhe to speak, his face sank, and he waved his hand and said, "No need, don't want to get close to the county master again, the plot is not tricky."

When Jiang Wanhe heard this, he was annoyed and angry, he would never let these people get close to the county lord again, "Go, leave here, the county lord is blessed, you don't need to kowtow, go back, go back"

Lao Zhangtou didn't dare to insist anymore when he saw these two god-like faces that he would never give in, after all, there were too many crimes committed today, and everyone was apprehensive and didn't dare to make another incident.

"Uncle, if you don't talk about it, it's all here," a person behind Lao Zhangtou reminded softly.

Lao Zhangtou nodded, and said to Jiang Wanhe, "Captain, then, then we won't go in, you say hello to the county master on our behalf, there is one more thing, you see, it hasn't rained for more than 20 days this day, the fields are cracked, and the fish can't be beaten anymore, if the harvest in this field is gone, then there is really no way to live."

Jiang Wanhe was relieved when he heard that they no longer insisted on going in, as long as they didn't go in, then everything was easy to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Open the gate and release the water, okay......"

Before Jiang Wanhe's words were finished, Steward Hu rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to stop him, pulled him aside, and said softly, "Brother Jiang, but take water from your ancestral lake to irrigate their fields?" ”

Jiang Wanhe nodded, "Yes, it has been like this for decades, as soon as the water shortage season arrives, the Jiang family will open the gate to release water, and the villagers can't miss the harvest."

Steward Hu thought for a while, "Who set the rules?" ”

Jiang Wanhe smiled, "What are the rules here, they are all from the villagers, and this water doesn't cost money, and besides, this usually rains in my lake, and if it is not discharged on time, there will be a heavy rain, and the embankment will not be broken."

Hearing this, Steward Hu was overjoyed, and patted Jiang Wanhe's shoulder, "Brother Jiang, from now on, don't drain this water, this is your Jiang family's private property, whether you let it go or not depends on you, even the county master can't force you."

Jiang Wanhe looked puzzled, for a reason, "This, Steward Hu, this is not very good, there are hundreds of acres of fields under this lake, you see that this day does not know when it will rain, what a pity it is to kill the crops, and you must not poke people in the backbone and scold to death when you go out in the future."

Steward Hu had already made up his mind, his eyes widened, and he said in a serious voice, "Is your family short of rations?" Those Diao Min's fields, when they are dry, what are you doing with this heart, listen well, you are not allowed to open the gates, all the food lost by your family will be doubled by the Zhao Mansion to make up for you, do you hear? ”

Jiang Wanhe spread his hands again and again, but he didn't dare to offend Steward Hu, so he turned his head and shook his hand and went back.

Lao Zhangtou waved his arm, trying to follow, "Captain, what's wrong, when will the gate be opened, I can't afford to wait in this field"

Steward Hu stretched out his hand, stopped Lao Zhang's head, and said coldly, "Go back, the Jiang family's lake will not open the gate" After that, he also went back to the house.

Lao Zhangtou wanted to keep up again, but Steward Hu turned around with a fierce look in his eyes, "What?" Want to die? ”

Everyone in this area knows Steward Hu, and knows that this person is a well-known role of a dead hand behind his back, and Lao Zhangtou doesn't dare to go any further.

Steward Hu returned to the gate of the Jiang family courtyard and instructed several officials standing guard at the door, "Don't let anyone in" After speaking, he turned his head and entered the courtyard, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of pride.

Lao Zhangtou and other villagers refused to leave, this ancestor had been diverting water from Jiangjia Lake for irrigation for generations, so he didn't let it go, but no one dared to go to Jiang's house to ask for this favor, but they all stood not far from the Jiang family's compound, looking forward to it, expecting Jiang Wanhe to change his mind.

Jiang Wanhe's family was busy preparing food for the county lord for the evening, killing chickens and ducks, cutting vegetables and preparing ingredients, clanging, the house was filled with the smell of vegetables, Lu Fei was very unaccustomed to it, so he walked around the Jiang family's house, trying to find a quiet room, but the current Jiang family is not as beautiful as the ancestors, there are only a few red brick houses, but it is still unique in this village.

Jiang Wanhe inherited the position of lieutenant chief with the glory of his ancestors, such a position can only improve the daily living conditions, if he wants to make a fortune, it is unlikely, the several villages under Jiang Wanhe's jurisdiction add up to more than 100 households, and his lieutenant chief is very different from the 100 household chiefs sealed by the imperial court.

Jiang Wanhe's daily work is at most to mediate neighborhood conflicts, household registration, and when the imperial court collects taxes, he comes forward to urge a series of thankless errands, relying on the meager monthly silver from the county every year, fortunately, the Jiang family still has more than ten acres of land, and the living conditions are naturally much stronger than those ordinary people who are half fishing and half farming.

Jiang Wanhe sulked and walked into the house, and when he saw that the county lord was wandering around, he asked curiously, "My lord, what are you looking for?" ”

Lu Fei waved his hand in front of his nose, "Susong's dishes taste good, it's the taste of these ingredients, it's too rushing."

Jiang Wanhe sniffed and didn't smell any pungent smell, but since the adults didn't like it, of course they had to listen to him, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you go to the Huxin hut to rest first, and I'll have someone bring the food to the adults later?" ”

"Great, wonderful, let's go" Lu Fei couldn't ask for it,

Jiang Wanhe made a gesture of invitation, "My lord, please come with your humble position"

Li Shun stuck the folding fan on the back of his neck, held Lu Fei's official hat in one hand, and supported him with the other, "Slow down, adult"

When the three of them came out of the house, Steward Hu came in from the courtyard, and there was a noise of villagers outside the courtyard.

Lu Fei said, "Steward Hu, how is the situation outside?" Why haven't these people left? ”

Steward Hu had a disgusted expression on his face, "This group of villagers is really unreasonable, adults should not worry about these trivial matters, just leave it to Jiang Lichang to deal with, where are you going?" ”

Jiang Wanhe interjected, "Go to the hut in the middle of the lake"

Lu Fei only said that these villagers still didn't leave because of the fishing rent, and they hated it for a while, is it useful to ask the county master? Even if the prefect comes, what can he do, if he can't do Zhao Junma's ideological work, everything is in vain.

As soon as Lu Fei came out of the gate of the Jiang family's courtyard, the group of villagers immediately knelt down and shouted in a gossipy voice, "Elder Qingtian, you are okay, can you help us?" ”

There were many cries for a while, and the scene was very bleak.

Lu Fei stopped and looked at it a few times, and there was a trace of sadness in his heart, the county lord is the umbrella of the people in the county, these people have no power and power, and they have no ability to fight against unfair treatment, in their eyes, the county lord is the bodhisattva who saves the suffering, who else can they count on to help them talk.

Steward Hu waved his hand and said impatiently, "What are you yelling about, the county master knows, don't kneel here, go home and go home."

Steward Hu thinks that this matter has to heat up again, so that the anger in the hearts of the villagers slowly rises, it is best to besiege the county master again for the matter of opening the gate and releasing water, how interesting it is.

"Lord Lu, please, don't pay attention to these people, a group of Diao people" Steward Hu urged, and lost no time glaring at Jiang Wanhe.
