Wanze Zhuang is the Zhuangzi given by the emperor to the East Palace when the emperor is the crown prince. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOriginally, the area was not large, only the size of an ordinary village, and the fields were more than 20 tilts.

But after Zheng Bin took charge, he slowly incorporated the villages around Wanzezhuang, and now it is a behemoth that can't run a day of horses.

Zhang Zhao, who lost money, had run here a few times before to check the confession of Zhuang Min's complaint, otherwise the three of them would have been lost.

Yue Zhang and a few people galloped to Wanzezhuang, and when they walked around Zhuangzi, it was noon.

Yue Zhang had only ridden a horse when he traveled to Inner Mongolia in his previous life, and those little mares for tourists to ride were very well-behaved, which was like a stagecoach under the crotch, he was holding the horse's belly all the way, and at the moment he only felt that his legs were hot, and his thighs were worn out.

A few people had been beating horses and walking all morning, and they were already hungry and thirsty, when they suddenly saw a grass hut next to the path, and an old man was sitting in it with a cigarette bag and pot and napping.

Yue Zhang turned over and dismounted, walked to the old man's side, and bowed and saluted: "Uncle, we are thirsty at the intersection of the road, and I want to ask you for some water to quench your thirst, can the old man make it convenient?" “

The old man didn't get up, put the cigarette pouch lazily aside, and pointed to the big kettle beside him.

Seeing that he didn't want to speak, Yue Zhang thanked him, picked up the kettle to fill the water bladder, and turned around and handed it to Yue Si'er.

After a few people walked on horseback for a morning, they were all sweating profusely, so they squatted in the shade next to the grass hut to rest.

Yue Si'er looked around for a while, and felt that this Zhuangzi was very strange, so he said strangely: "Uncle, you see that there are a lot of fields in the Zhuangzi, but why don't you see anyone waiting?" We walked for a long time, and then we saw this old man alone, which was really strange. “

Yue Zhang also felt strange, it was the middle of summer, when the seedlings were growing, and the weeding and insect control in the field should be busy, but no one was working, didn't he want to harvest?

"Uncle, dare to ask why no one works in this field?"

"Labor? Hum. For whom do you work? I can't eat enough all year round, so how can I be in the mood to work. The old man rolled over and said angrily.

"Doesn't the emperor give a grain distribution? I heard that although the land is owned by the Huangzhuang, the villagers also cultivate the fields according to the harvest, and the Huangzhuang accounts for six, and the villagers account for four, isn't this the case? "Yue Zhang inquired about Huangzhuang before, and also learned about Huangzhuang's business model from the side when he tried Fang Wu. At this time, he just wanted to verify whether what Feng Hua said was true from the old farmer's mouth, so he asked.

Originally, although Huangzhuang had many things to forcibly seize the people's land, although this field was returned to the Huangzhuang, it also needed people to cultivate it, so even if Zheng Bin was arrogant, he did not dare to kill the villagers.

The fields occupied by the Huangzhuang are still cultivated by the villagers, and the farmers produce agricultural tools and seeds, and the harvest is also divided with the villagers, and the villagers can still get some harvests at the end of the year. It's just that from the landlord, he has become a long-term worker in the Huangzhuang.

But now, in order to kill Yue Zhang, Zheng Bin has increased his filial piety several times in his name, seeing that the villagers have no way to live if they continue like this.

The old man didn't listen to it, but when he heard it, he sat up and said angrily: "Bullshit! It turned out that when Zheng Bin was there, although he had done all the evil things, he also knew to leave us a way to live and give us some leftovers. But the captain surnamed Yue is now the master, and before he arrives, he instructed his subordinates to pay filial piety, and he thought that the little thief had defeated Fang Wu and driven away Zheng Bin, he was a moral one, and we could get better. Now it seems that this official is darker than the other! “

Yue Zhang's heart was shocked, and the secret path was really as Feng Hua said, he forcibly held back his anger, and made a gesture to the old man: "Don't hide it from the old man, I am the new Huangzhuang official school Yue Zhang, the old man don't have to be afraid, I heard that someone borrowed my name, cleverly increased the rent and taxes privately, so I came here and will definitely bring the thief to justice." I hope my husband will help me investigate this matter clearly! ”

The cigarette pouch in the old man's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the dark face was a pair of bull-eyed bosses.

The old man's name is Zhang Gensheng, and he lives in the nearby Zhuangzi, which is the village head of this small Zhuangzi, and under the guidance of Zhang Laohan, several people approached his Zhuangzi.

The hills outside the Zhuangzi are continuous, and the willow trees on both sides of the path are green, if you don't look at the dilapidated little Zhuangzi in front of you, it is definitely a good scenery.

Yue Zhang observed the surroundings of Zhuangzi, the fields were considered good fields, but they were neglected, the crops in the field were overgrown with weeds, and the seedlings that should have been calf high were less than half a foot tall at the moment.

There are small rivers around Zhuangzi, the land is flat and wet, and Yue Zhang even saw some coal mines exposed on the surface of the road.

Treasure land, if it weren't for the operation of Huangzhuang, the surrounding Zhuangzi would be considered a rich township, right?

Several people followed Zhang Laohan as they walked in the Zhuangzi where he was, their faces heavy - he did not expect that under the imperial city, the lives of these villagers would be so miserable.

As soon as you enter the Zhuangzi, you will be covered with low and dilapidated earthen houses, and occasionally a few brick houses, which are also full of messy rags, and the whole Zhuangzi looks decadent.

"Captain, look, this kid and this cow." A young man pointed not far away, Yue Zhang followed his point, and saw a lame child, leading an old cow with a lame leg, staggering all over his body.

The child looked like he was ten years old, with his left leg twisted abruptly under the rolled up trouser leg, and his calf bones were misaligned as if he had been bent by life.

"Uncle, what's the matter with that kid?"

"Ah, what a wicked man. The three children and their parents all went early, leaving five acres of rice fields and a ploughing cow at home. On weekdays, everyone takes care of some, although his family has no labor, but the cattle are for Zhuangzi. Whoever plows, the three children will lead the oxen to go, and they can carry a big laborer. But the year before last, the son of the head of the Zhuang family married and wanted to slaughter a cow, so he wanted to push the three babies down the hill and fell to death. Broke my calf... That's it. ”

The Ming Dynasty is forbidden to slaughter the cattle for meat, but the old or accidental death of the cattle can be eaten, just want to entertain the guests, then kill the cattle that others rely on for survival, a small village is still like this, how to accompany it, and how to steward?

Yue Zhang clenched his teeth, looked at the man and the cow staggering by, and held back his tears.

At this moment, a burst of beating and scolding came, and Zhang Laohan shook his head when he heard a long sigh.

In a broken courtyard at the head of the village, a **** woman with a top body and whip marks on her back ran out with her hair scattered. Behind her, a thin man chased after her, carrying a flask in one hand and kicking open the door with a whip in the other, grabbing her by the hair and dragging her to the ground, the whip in her hand crackling and falling, whipping her back and forth on the dusty ground.

The woman was obviously in great pain, but she gritted her teeth and let the dust stick to the bleeding whip marks, and said nothing.

"Zhang Zhao! Go take him down for me! ”

Zhang Zhao couldn't hold back his anger for a long time, and when he saw Yue Zhang's words, he stepped forward a few arrows, kicked the man to the ground, took off his coat and draped it over the woman.

"You don't have to stop me, he won't kill me." The woman looked at Yue Zhang with lifeless eyes and said dryly.

"You ****! Haven't you hooked up enough with the people in the Imperial Village! Where did this adulterer come from?! The thin man was pressed to the ground by the young man who came with him, still staring at Yue Zhang with red eyes, shouting hysterically, struggling, and cursing.

"Captain Yue, this Wang Hu has been raped by Huangzhuang Ma Companion since his mother-in-law last year... I lost my heart and went crazy, and from time to time I beat my mother-in-law. . . This is also a hard-working family.,It's good.,The child just turned one year old.。。。 Then Xue's is also a good one, if he didn't have a bad child, I'm afraid he would have cut himself a long time ago. The child has not been weaned yet, and with Wang Hu as he is now, I am afraid that if she dies, the child will not be able to support her. Every once in a while, I have to endure such abuse by my own man.,It's more uncomfortable to live than to die.。。。 ”

Zhang Laohan wiped his tears and recalled the piles and piles in Zhuangzi, all kinds of hard work, and hard work. I just feel that it is not easy for people to live for a lifetime, and God wants to see how much suffering people can bear, so he put Huangzhuang next to his village.

A hand was patted on Zhang Laohan's shoulder, white and slender, but powerful.

Zhang Laohan raised his head and saw a pair of eyes shining with cold stars, looking at himself firmly.

"Don't worry, I, Yue Zhang, promise you, and the whole Zhuangzi people, that the suffering they have suffered will not be repeated in the future. The sins they have suffered will be multiplied back to the sinful. Uncle, I want to take away the three babies and the lady of the Wang family, give me a few days, and I will get back what you have lost for you! ”
