"No!"

Jin Wansan looked at Situ Xing, who was full of confidence, and couldn't help nodding heavily.

"Your Excellency!"

"The small ones will be arranged, and they will definitely not disappoint the adults!"

Situ Xing looked at Jin Wansan with a solemn face, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. There was a look of encouragement and appreciation in his eyes.

Jin Wansan, who was encouraged by Situ Xing, couldn't help but straighten his body, his muscles and bones were like a big dragon flying into the sky, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Jin Wansan feels that his steps have become a lot lighter.

Tree House Village

The old head of the family sat at the top, young people and middle-aged people according to their age and status.

After everyone arrived, the old patriarch coughed lightly, and the environment that was still a little noisy just now suddenly became silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

"All the men in the village have arrived, right?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, he nodded lightly with satisfaction and asked loudly.

"Patriarch, it's here!"

"The head of the house, it's all here!"

"Clan Elder, you can start!"

"Everyone's here!"

Standing in the courtyard and the hall, the people who seemed to be a little crowded, after a quick look around, said loudly one after another.

"It's time to go!"

"It's all here!"

The gray-headed patriarch nodded slightly, and his eyes showed satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with the gathering of everyone.

"Clan Elder, I have gathered everyone today, but what is important to announce?"

A burly middle-aged man parted from the crowd, came to the old man's approach, and asked loudly. This person obviously has a very high status in the village, and those who were pushed away were not angry, but their eyes were slightly narrowed, their ears were pricked up, and their faces were looking forward to it.

"Ma San, you're back. ”

"The old man still thinks that you are squinted by the world of flowers in the city, and you don't want to go back to this poor country!"

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man, and on his face full of furrows, he suddenly squeezed out a happy smile, and said a little jokingly.

"Clan Elder!"

"Look at what you said, no matter where you go and how much you accomplish, you're all part of the treehouse. ”

"Besides, so-and-so has no interest, but there is a meat stall in the city, and he makes a living from this slaughter!"

Ma San was teased by the old man, and couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile on his face, scratched the back of his head with his thick hand, and said with a smile:

"Come back this time!"

"So-and-so brought some lean meat, and some pigs went into the water. It's going to be stewed in the evening, and everyone is here to open the meat!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

When those sturdy men heard that there was oil and water to eat, their eyes couldn't help but glow, their mouths squirmed subconsciously, and their faces were covetous.

"You... ”

The head of the house who sat at the top smiled and pointed, but he didn't say anything.

"Patriarch, you haven't said yet, why are you gathering everyone today?"

Ma San didn't care either, and asked with a smile.

"Why are you gathering today?"

"It's because the government has a new paperwork, so please come over!"

The patriarch stretched out his palm and pressed it gently, and everyone who was still whispering just now suddenly became quiet.

"New paperwork?"

"Is it a tax increase or a tax increase?"

"This year is a famine year, if we are raising taxes, this is not giving us a way to live!"

"Can't put it!"

"Is it forced labor?"

The people who were still silent just now heard that the clan elder said that the government had issued a new document, and it suddenly seemed to explode the pot, and it was like boiling water, and it suddenly churned.

"It can't be... ”

"The new county lord is very kind, it shouldn't be like this. ”

Ma San, who was stout, looked at the patriarch on the Taishi chair, with a suspicious look in his eyes, and said with some muttering.

"Humph!"

"There is a good thing in an official... ”

"The last county commander Hu Buwei, that was the famous Hu Paopi, and the people privately gave him a nickname called Qingtian Three Feet High!"

"It's not because he judged the case fairly and honestly!"

"But because he was so greedy that he had to scrape off three feet of the ground. ”

"The current county magistrate, although I haven't seen it yet, but I think it's just a raccoon dog!"

A villager next to him seemed to hear Ma San's self-talk, and mocked with some disdain.

"The new adult is not what you said. ”

Ma San glanced at the villagers with disdain on their faces, and said with some unconvinced.

"You said he was different from the previous prefectural order. ”

"Have you seen it?"

The villagers next to him were choked by his words, and they also said with an unconvinced face.

"That's right!"

"I have indeed seen it!"

"Last time, a certain wallet was stolen by a scholar, and after he was caught, not only did he not admit his guilt, but he falsely accused a certain family, or Situ County Zun Mingjing hung high and helped me find the money bag. and punished the Confucian student severely. ”

"Now this matter has long been a household name in Zhibei County. ”

Ma San was provoked, but also to protect the reputation of Situ Xing, and said without any hesitation.

"This!"

The man didn't expect that Ma San had really seen Situ Xing, and that he had such an experience, so he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

The others were also wide-eyed and curious.

"Ahem!"

The patriarch sitting at the top coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention again, and he took a slow sip of the samovar, moistened his throat, and then said:

"Frizz!"

"Frizzy!"

"The old man hasn't said anything, and you've become a mess!"

"Who said the government is going to collect taxes?"

"Who said the government is going to be served?"

"This time, the government not only did not impose additional taxes, but also did not send additional labor. It's quite the opposite!"

"The government wants to distribute one stone of grain to every household this time!"

"Help everyone get through the famine year. ”

The patriarch's face was red, and he suddenly stood up and said excitedly.

"What!"

"Not only do you not ask us for food, but you also ask for taxes, and give us back food?"

"How is this possible?"

"How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"Impossible!"

The man who was arguing with Ma San couldn't help but show a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes, and the expressions of the others were even more exaggerated, as if they had seen a ghost.

"I'll just say, Lord Situ is a rare good official!"

"You don't believe it!"

Ma San saw that everyone's faces showed shock, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he had just won a battle, and said a little proudly.

"Now in the county seat, who doesn't remember the kindness of the county lord?"

"Since the lord took office, the previously unscrupulous wealthy clans, as well as the scholar clans, have become a lot more restrained. ”

"They no longer dare to bully the people at will, as they did before. ”

"You're still skeptical, really... ”

The others were counted down by Ma San, and they didn't dare to talk back, and their faces showed even more ridicule.

"That's it!"

"The government is sending grain this time, and there are conditions. ”

The old master put his dragon-like crutches on the ground and said in a loud voice.

"What conditions?"

Everyone's heads suddenly turned around, looked at the old lady who was on top, and asked curiously.
