Chapter 141: Perseverance should change

Xu Heng had just returned from Wang Ningzhi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Unlike others, Wang Ningzhi gave him a lot of freedom, and although he still didn't give him any position, he gave him a task after he reported on the movements of the past few days...... That's right, Xu Heng has freedom, he can move around at will, it seems that Wang Ningzhi doesn't care about him at all, but in fact, he is restricted everywhere: his wife wants to be cured; The whole family wants housing; Once he broke away from Wang Ningzhi, he also had to face taxes - it was impossible to escape.

Fortunately, he didn't have the heart to leave.

"Has Brother Wei Yi come over?" As soon as he settled down, Xu Heng asked the maid at home.

The maid shook her head, saying that no one came, not that she didn't know who was called Wei Yi, after all, in the past few days, Wei Yi, who was dressed as a homeless person, often came over, and as slaves and maids, it was impossible for them to ask, even so, it can also be concluded from the conversation between Xu Heng and Wei Yi that Wei Yi was a soldier under Xu Heng's command. 态

After learning about this, even these maidservants became close to Wei Yi.

"The Taoist came over and treated his wife for a while, and then his wife drank the medicine and is now asleep." It seemed that seeing the confusion on Xu Heng's face, the maidservant hurriedly explained, "The Taoist said that if you drink the medicine, you will get drowsy, which is a normal manifestation. ā€

"Well, you take care of Madame......"

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, as if a group of people were crowding over, so that Xu Heng raised his head suddenly, and when he heard the voice of a familiar person, he waved his hand to let the maid leave, and when he walked out of the room, he saw a group of refugees coming towards him.

The small house is not big, but after a few days of tidying up, it has become clean and tidy, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard have been pruned and placed in a staggered manner, which is very beautiful.

In the courtyard, Wei Yi, who was worried about Xu Heng, fell to the ground, looking embarrassed, constantly talking in his mouth, as if he was justifying, surrounded by a group of people, dressed in refugee clothes, it seemed that they were refugees who built houses nearby, but now they were viciously surrounded around Wei Yi.

"What's going on?" Xu Heng, who saw this scene, hurriedly walked over, and did not rush to help Wei Yi up, but frowned and stared at the people around him, "You actually came here to make trouble!" ā€

"He insulted the idol of the king!"

"Not to mention the water needed to knock down the whole village, it even knocked down the idol of the god."

"The idol of the prince of the palace was broken by him!"

……

A group of people were talking nonsense, with anger on their faces, that is, they didn't even give Xu Heng's face, which was abnormal, they didn't know Xu Heng's specific identity, but judging from his performance and this house, at least it was not something they could afford to provoke, but they still didn't give up, and they didn't let him help Wei Yi up, and even more, they didn't listen to Wei Yi's defense at all, and kicked Wei Yi fiercely, making Wei Yi's body convulsive violently.

"I ...... I really didn't mean to, I just slipped my foot and accidentally hit the barrel......" Wei Yi curled up, held his head, and said intermittently, "Big brother, save me......"

"Enough!" Xu Heng suddenly raised his voice, his eyes were cold, "Stop it!" ā€

The person who was beating Wei Yi froze, glanced at Xu Heng, was frightened by his murderous gaze, and slowly withdrew his fists and feet.

After such a distraction, Xu Heng almost understood what he meant, pointed at Wei Yi and said to the refugees: "He has already admitted that he didn't mean it, you still beat him, can you make up for your mistakes by beating him to death...... And what about those soldiers, who don't care about anything? ā€

"The adults aren't there." One of the refugees replied, "It's okay to knock down the bucket, but we knocked down all the idols we made for the king, and broke a leg...... This, isn't this cursing the prince of the mansion, and his heart should be punished! ā€

"That's right, his heart should be punished, if he didn't mean it, how could he just knock down the statue."

"But the sin is not unto death, but it is a mistake...... The prince you are talking about is Erlang of the Wang family, you should know that I am working under Erlang now, if you tell Erlang about this, presumably Erlang will not use lynching like this. Xu Heng said lightly, "I once heard a Taoist say, respect for faith in gods is not in things, if Erlang is really the reincarnation of an immortal as you say, then how can you care that a small god statue is broken leg?" ā€

"Well, that's always going to have an impact." It is impossible for refugees to be persuaded by Xu Heng's words.

"There is a small punishment that has an impact, the Taoist talks about the number of fate, the matter has come to this point, and it is linked to Erlang, it is also fate, but Erlang Furen has his own blessing, we don't have to worry about it......" Seeing that those people stopped moving, Xu Heng walked over and helped Wei Yi up, signaling him not to speak, and then said to these people, "Since he made a mistake, then deduct his rations for two days, if the wood for making the statue is gone, I can provide it." ā€

The refugees discussed with each other, and one of them took the lead and said, "This is the only way, we will report it to the soldiers...... Wei Yi, remember to go back. ā€

After that, they refused the guidance of the maidservant, and the group walked out of the house, leaving Wei Yi and Xu Heng in the courtyard.

Wei Yi's face was a little lost, with a hint of fear, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else, so he cautiously asked Xu Heng: "Big brother, have you thought about what I said that day?" ā€

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Yi carefully, and said after a while: "Wang Erlang's decree is good, if you do it in a down-to-earth manner, you only need to survive the second half of the year, and you can settle down in Huiji in the future, so, are you still dissatisfied?" ā€

"It's not a grievance." Wei Yi hurriedly said, but his hand subconsciously touched the wound on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "If he can stay in office, it's fine, but big brother, have you ever seen an official who can always hold an official position?" What's more, there are rumors outside that the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court are not much, and it doesn't matter if it drags on for a while, but it will definitely not be able to cope with it for half a year. Will it change in the future...... But there is no way to know. ā€

"Do you think Wang Erlang will change his mind? When you're settled, you're going to re-impose a lot of taxes? ā€

"I hope he won't do it, but ...... In the past, there were also such things, and there were not a few officials who changed their fortunes, and now they draw land and live, and everyone lives in a fixed area, making it easier to collect taxes...... No one can escape. The more Wei Yi spoke, the more excited he became, and he stretched out his hand to grab Xu Heng firmly, "Big brother, what is my situation here, you have also seen it, what about you...... The former homeless marshal had a relationship with Taishou and Assassin Shi, but now he has ended up in such a situation that even refugees dare to come to the house to make trouble......"

Xu Heng raised his hand to stop Wei Yi's speech, his expression kept changing, frowning, and his eyes were deep and restrained.

"Big brother, you think carefully about ...... exam"

"Shut up." Xu Heng narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Is the method you said reliable?" ā€
