Xu Wenchang took a discordant trick to yin Liu Liangfu, and almost at the same time, Qin Lin, the deputy Qincha who attracted most of the attention of the dark pile, drank tea and listened to books in the teahouse, drinking all kinds of refreshments and hot fragrant tea, which was so comfortable that it bubbled.

Some people are in heaven, and some people are in hell.

The scouts of the dark pile led by Boss Wu are miserable, and those who pretend to be tea customers and sneak into the teahouse are regarded as people who burned high incense in their previous lives, and people who pretended to be hawkers, called Huazi, and Lifu scattered in all directions, were almost blown into popsicles by the cold wind, and ice ballasts were formed from head to toe!

Hell is eighteen, one layer is more powerful than the other, if the subordinates who are shivering from the cold are only in hell, Boss Wu and another subordinate dressed as Hanako are definitely in the eighteenth layer of hell.

The head and face were scalded red by the boiling water splashed down by Qin Lin, although they were rubbed with badger oil to treat burns, the pain did not decrease much, and when the cold wind blew it, it felt as if the whole face was not their own, and it was uncomfortable, it was not much worse than death.

It was almost noon, Qin Lin carried the hem of his clothes, staggered down from the second floor of the teahouse, and took Lu and Niu with him, not knowing where to go.

Boss Wu and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.

Qin Lin looked around, wandering around idlely, and slowly walked to the gate of Miyun County.

The eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is a brick wall on the left and right sides of the gate of the county yamen that spreads diagonally forward, and it is in the shape of a figure-of-eight, which is the eight-character wall that sticks the holy oracle and sticks the proclamation.

In addition to the first month of the year and the end of the year in December, every month through the two first counties of Jingshi Daxing and Wanping, a holy edict was promulgated to the common people of the whole country, and it was pasted on the eight-character wall of each county office.

Qin Lin was very interested in reading the monthly oracles, some of which asked the common people to read more and be kind, those who advised not to be idle, and those who warned not to harbor thieves.

In addition, there are many people who talk about the benefits of the New Deal, saying that a whip law will no longer be levied and increased, and the tax amount per mu of Qingzhang land will be evenly shared, and so on are all in line with the New Deal, which does not look like Emperor Wanli did, and the tone is like what Zhang Juzheng said.

This is the first month, the latest oracle posted on the eight-character wall or last year, that is, the oracle of November of the seventh year of Wanli, Qin Lin read word by word: "Say that with the people, it is winter, the weather is dry, and you must be careful to prevent fire." ”

Before the candle word was finished, the drum sounded, and someone beat the drum at the entrance of the yamen to cry out the grievances.

I saw an old man in shabby clothes with a seven or eight-year-old boy, stumbling at the gate of the yamen and shouting wronged: "My family's field is obviously dedicated to Wang Shenxian, how can the government occupy it?" Jizhou didn't accept the case, and asked me to come to Miyun to sue, no matter how powerful Governor Yang is, he can't occupy the land that my family dedicated to Wang Shenxian! ”

Several officials stuck out their tongues when they heard Qi Qi, the meaning of this old man's words was clearly that Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, occupied his family's land, can this lawsuit be fought in Miyun? Borrow a leopard gall from our Cui County Order, and don't dare to go to Yang Zhao to swatt flies on the top of his head.

The official at the head thought about it, and saw that the old man had a dark face but strong muscles and bones, and he was shouting with his neck straight, like an old man and a strong man, so he made up his mind to grind with him: "Old man, what is your surname?" I ask you, where is your field? ”

"Don't give your surname Zhou, they all call me Zhou Laohan," the old man shouted again: "You ask my family's field, of course it is in Jizhou, originally I went to Jizhou Yamen to complain, they said that the governor of Jiliao was in Miyun Kaifu, and let the old man come here to sue, so he brought his grandson over, heh, this way is amazing...... Hey, you guys took the form first, old man, I spent eighty copper plates to find Mr. Scrivener to write! ”

The official smiled, and suddenly turned his face blank: "Alas, this matter can only be helped, your land is in Jizhou, and Governor Yang's Zhuangzi who occupies your field is also in Jizhou, so you can only go to Jizhou Yamen to report this matter, as for the Jiliao Governor's Mansion is opened in our Miyun, if Governor Yang opens a mansion in Lingao County, Qiongzhou Mansion, you still go to Lingao to sue him?" ”

That Lingao County is almost in the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, and of course it is impossible for Zhou Laohan to go there to complain from Miyun, the northernmost part.

"This, this ......" The stubborn Zhou Laohan's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

Jizhou said that Governor Yang opened Miyun, we can't control it, you go to Miyun to complain; Miyun County said that we are just the place where Governor Yang opened his mansion, and the matter of your land being seized was in Jizhou, and you should go back to Jizhou to complain.

Although Zhou Laohan's surname is stubborn, after all, he is just a villager in the countryside, where do he know how to play ball and tear up bad accounts in these yamen? I only think that what the Jizhou Yamen said is reasonable, and what the Miyun County Yamen said is reasonable, but the little people whose fields have been taken away by others, where can they be reasonable?

Zhou Laohan looked at the officials pitifully, but the officials just looked at him and sneered - they would not sympathize with these complaining people and foolish people.

Da Leng Tian took his grandson to trek here, Zhou Laohan was all angry in his heart, and when he heard that Miyun didn't take it, that bit of anger collapsed all of a sudden, and the whole person fell to the ground, rolling his eyes and being stunned.

"Grandpa, grandpa," the little boy said straight and straight, but he had very little strength, where could he pull it? Instead, he was brought an upside-down onion and fell on his grandfather.

Zhou Laohan didn't notice anything wrong at first, and struggled to help his grandson up, but when he reached out and touched it, he startled the boss: "Ah, why do you have a fever?" Forehead hot! ”

When I turned the child over again, his face was flushed, his eyes were squinted, and he was drowsy, and the situation was very bad!

Zhou Laohan was dumbfounded, and was so anxious that he slapped himself again and again: "Old thing, why don't you know how to score inches!" Come out with dog eggs on a cold day, is this not subject to the wind chill? ”

The officials couldn't see it, and they all said that since they were sick, they should see the doctor quickly, what is the use of doing it here?

"There's no money," Zhou Laohan lowered his head.

"I don't have the money to go to Huimin Pharmacy!" The officials refused to pay, and it was not difficult to say a word to show the way.

The Ming Dynasty had a fairly complete social welfare system, with a Huimin pharmacy for epidemic prevention and a Tzu Chi home for orphans and orphans.

Zhou Laohan asked the location of Huimin Pharmacy, and was about to run over there with his grandson, and suddenly another official said: "Oh, it's not good, Dr. Gu from Huimin Pharmacy went to Sanhe to visit relatives a few years ago, saying that he could only come back after the Lantern Festival. ”

"W-What can I do about this?" Zhou Laohan was so anxious that his hands trembled, seeing his grandson's cheeks flushed, his forehead getting hotter and hotter, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and regretted that he shouldn't have been reckless, and he took his grandson out to complain on such a cold day, causing him to suffer from the cold.

Qin Lin couldn't look at it, and walked over to take a look: "Old man, although your grandson's illness is critical, as long as it is treated in time, it should not be a big problem, my brother is a doctor from the south, if you don't dislike it, let him treat it." ”

Zhou Laohan raised his head and saw that it was a few foreign guests he didn't know, and instinctively protected his grandson in his arms, but after thinking about it, his grandfather and grandson were penniless, what else could others do with you? He nodded hesitantly.

"Fatty, open the square," Qin Lin directly pushed Lu Yuanzhi out.

This disease of wind chill and cold, if it is a child in such a cold day, it can definitely kill people, but if it is treated in time, it is not a serious illness.

Lu Fatzi was confident: "It's easy for me to cure this disease, old cow, let's go directly to the pharmacy for the child." ”

Niu nodded vigorously, grabbed the big slap of Pu Fan, gently and skillfully held the child in his arms, and walked to the pharmacy with Qin Lin.

Seeing these people walking fast, Zhou Laohan almost thought that he had encountered a kidnapper, and he didn't let go until he finally entered the pharmacy.

"Let's go directly to the cinnamon soup," Lu Fatzi told the pharmacy guy with confidence, afraid that he would catch the wrong medicine and said the recipe again: "Three coins of cinnamon branches, three coins of peony, three coins of ginger, twelve jujubes, and two coins of licorice." ”

Qin Lin saw that Zhou Laohan was dressed shabby, and the child clenched his teeth, guessing that the grandfather and grandson hadn't eaten anything on the way, so the child was cold, so after the fat man finished speaking, he added: "Boil it well, add a tael of brown sugar to the decoction to warm his body." ”

The pharmacy has a ready-made stove and crockpot, and after a while, the decoction is boiled, and when it is a little cold, it is poured into the child while it is hot.

The symptoms of the child called the dog egg, there are five points of wind chill and cold, and the other five points are purely caused by hunger and cold on the road, the thick cinnamon branch soup is sweaty, and the brown sugar water replenishes energy, and the spirit immediately improves a lot after drinking, and when he opens his eyes, he looks at Qin Lin and the other people who are a little scared: "Grandpa, where are we?" Who are these uncles and brothers? ”

Uncle brother?

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, and only then did he understand when he looked at the dog's eyes: Niu Dali is big, Lu Fat is fat, these two are uncles, but Qin Lin is a white-faced scholar and has become an "elder brother".

This generation, really...... Lu Fatzi was next to him, almost not laughing his teeth out.

The dog was out of danger, and Qin Lin slowly interrogated Zhou Laohan about what was going on with the complaint.

Zhou Laohan is a native of Jizhou, his son died, his daughter-in-law remarried, and he and his grandson were left to depend on each other.

Zhou Laohan listened to the preachers boasting, and he believed it when he came and went, saying that he could pray for blessings and eliminate disasters by dedicating his property, and he thought about praying for the dog's eggs, so he dedicated his family's five acres of land to Wang Shenxian of Wenxiangmen, and he became a tenant of Wenxiangmen - but he could avoid paying part of the taxes in the local area, and it was not a big deal, and it was almost the same as ordinary "contributions".

Who knew that many of the fields that were dedicated to Wenxiangmen in the local area were all brought to the Zhuangzi of Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, Zhou Laohan was not convinced, and said that we are worshiping the king and immortals, why did we give it to Yang Zhao? And Wang Shenxian only collects 20% of the land rent, because of the reduction of the national tax on the emperor's grain, we don't lose money, this Yang family wants to collect 40% of the rent, is it unreasonable?

I wanted to ask the senior brother who was preaching in Wenxiangmen, but the senior brother was not there, and others advised Zhou Laohan to endure it, he was a strong temper, and he took his grandson to Jizhou first on a cold day, and then went to Miyun to complain.

Qin Lin nodded, Yang Zhao's forcible seizure of military and civilian land, he had insight in Chen Minghao's case, Zhou Laohan's experience was not unusual, but it involved Wenxiangmen, I think it was the local Huidaomen to loot money and bribe officials to seek asylum?

"Old man, go back, Governor Yang...... Hmph, I'm afraid it won't take long to jump, and your field will be returned," Qin Lin comforted Zhou Laohan, and gave him five taels of silver, asking him and Goudan to find an inn to rest for a few days, and then go home when he is sick.

Zhou Laohan accepted the silver and thanked Qin Lin for his kindness.

"Damn, this Yang is so cruel to the people, is it still called a person?" Qin Lin deliberately scolded loudly.

Many of the scouts who were watching him outside were also from poor people, and they lowered their heads when they heard this, quite ashamed.

"This guy is really hateful!" Boss Wu did not repent, and spit on the ground angrily.

Qin Lin said again: "The sins of heaven are forgivable, and you can't live for your own sins, this remnant of the people will succeed, sooner or later the sky will hit five thunders!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly shouted on the street: "It's not good, the governor's palace is on fire!" ”

No way! Boss Wu, who was leaning against the root of the wall, immediately fell on his stomach, and together with all the brothers, Zhou Laohan, and the pharmacy guys, they all looked at Qin Lin in surprise: Dare to love this master is a crow's mouth?
