"It turned out to be the lieutenant chief, I am the prefect of Lin'an who just came to take office, I don't know why you don't cultivate the fields in the village well, and you want to come here to stop the official?" Ye Chen asked with a straight face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ye Chen is no longer a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything when he first arrives, although there are some deviations in history, there are many things that have not changed.

The so-called lieutenant chief, that is, the meaning of the village chief, is generally done by some highly respected people, who are somewhat educated, although there is no grade, but they are more or less people from the imperial court.

"Well, the prefect really doesn't know, why are we besieging you here?" The old man asked a little embarrassed, I don't know what Ye Chen wants to do.

"What do you mean by this, can I still ask knowingly, hurry up and tell me the reason." Ye Chen replied.

The old man also sensed that something was wrong, and said: "In this case, please also ask your Excellency to be clear, we are here because we have been bewitched, this year is a year of great drought, it is April, and the ground is still bare, and the big guy can't afford to eat." ”

"But the magistrate suddenly came down half a month ago, saying that the new prefect took office, so this year's tax revenue has doubled, and then someone told us that you are passing by here today, so we are..."

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes inadvertently glanced at the middle-aged man who was struggling on the ground, when the middle-aged man proposed to come here to surround the officers and soldiers, he just didn't agree, but the people below didn't listen to his obstruction at all, so there was the current thing.

"Hmm... Hmm..."

The middle-aged man shouted there when he heard the old man's words, but unfortunately his mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak at all.

After listening to this, Ye Chen understood, it seems that this is a disadvantage for him, and he actually knows that he will let the people do it.

If he takes a detour today, even if he does not encounter others who continue to block the road, I am afraid that he will lose the support of the people, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be riots.

At that time, he was a newly appointed prefect, and there was no way to die well without money and no one.

Or if he didn't take a good look at his subordinates and injured a few villagers, then I am afraid that this corrupt official's hat will never be taken off.

Although this has no effect for a while, as long as time passes, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Lin'an Mansion at all.

"I see, but it's not a secret, I just came from Zhenyuan Mansion, not to mention raising taxes, even Lin'an Mansion has never been there, how can I make the magistrate here move." Ye Chen said.

"The old man naturally believes in the prefect, but today's incident is because we mistakenly believed the words of this villain, they don't know, and I hope the adults don't blame." The old man replied.

Although he is old, he is not confused, and he knows that today's matter must be soft for them, otherwise, even if this matter is really Ye Chen's failure to admit it, then they will only have a dead end.

"The old man can rest assured, this matter is also my negligence, I didn't come over in time to take office, so there was such a disclosure, but... Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid it's not just those you just said, is there something else hidden? Ye Chen asked.

If they were just bewitched, then they would just have come here to stop the trouble, but now this group of people are all ragged, yellow and thin, obviously because they haven't eaten enough for a long time.

"My lord knows that although there will be no harvest in this year's drought, the villagers' families still have some grain in store over the years, which is enough for us to survive this year, but these grain stocks have been sent by the county magistrate to collect them, so we will do such stupid things here." The old man said angrily.

"When the grain is collected, is it still in my name?" Ye Chen said with the anger in his heart.

"Yes, they said that you used this food to recruit new soldiers, and a few people didn't want to give it, and they couldn't afford it on the spot." The old man cried as he spoke.

The nearby villagers were also quiet at this time, although they didn't know if Ye Chen really didn't know, or if he was deliberately fooling them, but when they thought of the dead people, they couldn't help but cry.

"Qin Feng, you go and ask the soldiers below to take out all their food and distribute it to these villagers, and when you get to Lin'an Mansion, I will naturally compensate you." Ye Chen's captain Qin Feng said.

"Yes, sir." Qin Feng agreed, without any hesitation.

Before he came, Qin Feng received Yang Bin's order, and Ye Chen's words were his orders, just do it.

What's more, they also brought very sufficient military rations, which is not bad.

"Thank you, thank you, Lin'an Mansion will definitely get better and better with you." The old man knelt down and thanked him.

Everyone watching outside also knelt down to thank Ye Chen, but they didn't expect that Ye Chen not only did not punish them, but also distributed military rations to them.

"Everyone, hurry up, this is my business, I haven't arrived in Lin'an City yet, so I can only do this for the time being, and when I arrive, I will definitely give everyone justice." Ye Chen helped the old man up and said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Hundreds of people shouted in unison.

Ye Chen looked at the hundreds of people in front of him, sighed, and said in his heart: "This is just one village, and some people have already died tragically because of this, and there are hundreds of villages in Lin'an Mansion, and I don't know how many people have died because of this." ”

"Yang Zhi, give this person to Hu Guang, he knows how to do it." Ye Chen looked at the middle-aged man on the ground with disgust.

He didn't even bother to find out who was making trouble behind this now, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that what he was worried about was whether the current security in Lin'an Mansion was okay.

If it's really the same everywhere as here, I'm afraid that by the time he arrives in Lin'an City, there will be bandits and robbers everywhere.

"Brother, you are so kind, Qian'er was just like them at the beginning, and then she was saved by her brother, but those bad people are so hateful that they use their brother's reputation to do bad things." Zhang Qian said.

Ye Chen turned his head and found that not only Zhang Qian, but also Hongxiang and Wan Yu were not far behind him, looking at this scene with a serious expression.

"It's so hateful that there are still such people in this world, they don't treat the common people as human beings at all, Brother Ye, you must not let go of the culprit." Wan Yu also said angrily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he thought of something again, and continued to speak: "By the way, I will send someone to Lan Mu Mansion to deliver a message now, and ask them to send grain and grass here to help the emergency." ”

Ye Chen showed joy and said, "Then I will thank Brother Wan, with the help of the Wan family, it must not be long before this matter will be dealt with." ”

"Young Master Qiyu, that person has recruited all, there are six counties in Lin'an Mansion that are similar to the situation here, and the person who instructed them is Fang Guoqiang." Hu Guang walked over and said. (To be continued.) )
