Chapter 9 The world's worst imperial village

The group walked around and spent an hour on the road before coming to Jingxi Huangzhuang.

When they arrived at the address marked on the map, everyone's eyes widened to the limit, and they didn't find Jingxi Huangzhuang. Could it be that the map is out of date, no, such a ridiculous mistake, with Wei Zhongxian's shrewd character, it shouldn't be made.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Cheng, where is Jingxi Huangzhuang." ”

Zhu Cheng looked around and said, "On the mouth." ”

Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Cheng is so good, like Sun Wukong, he can conjure up an imperial village with a blow." ”

Zhu Youzhen is not sarcastic about Zhu Cheng, he is just 1o years old, which is the age when he loves to dream, and he is usually very convinced of Zhu Cheng, so he believes whatever Zhu Cheng says.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's big watery eyes, ready to see himself magic, Zhu Cheng smiled and said: "I don't know any spells, what I'm saying is, ask the farmer here, and you will know where Jingxi Huangzhuang is." ”

Zhu Youzhen was a little disappointed and said, "I thought I could see Brother Cheng show his powers." ”

Seeing an old farmer coming, Zhu Cheng gave a deep salute and said, "Uncle, do you know where Jingxi Huangzhuang is?" ”

When the old farmer saw that Zhu Cheng looked very cute and polite, he was overjoyed, stopped, stroked his beard, and listened to what he asked. When he heard the words "Jingxi Huangzhuang", the old farmer shook his body, waved his hands wildly, and said: "I don't know that place, you can ask others." ”

Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen looked at each other, not understanding why the old farmer reacted so much to the words "Jingxi Huangzhuang".

Zhu Cheng asked several passers-by one after another, but no one dared to answer.

Zhu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you have to force me to come up with a magic weapon." ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes burned, he watched Zhu Cheng touch his waist, and asked, "What magic weapon?" ”

Zhu Cheng took out something shiny silver: "Look, the magic weapon is here!" ”

It really is a silver glittering treasure - nonsense, silver is not silver, what color can it be.

Zhu Youzhen was disappointed again.

Zhu Cheng smiled: "I said it a long time ago, I am not an immortal. When I told you about "Journey to the West", didn't I deliberately say that this story is pure fiction, if there are similarities, it must be a lie? ”

Zhu Cheng saw a young farmer coming over and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Big brother, I want to ask you a question, as long as you answer, this ingot of silver is yours." ”

When the young peasants saw the silver, their eyes straightened. This ingot of silver is about 2 taels, I have worked hard for a year, and God bless me to earn 12 taels of silver, this little boy is the money he can earn in two months.

The young farmer swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "If the little boy has a question, just ask, I will know everything and say everything." ”

As soon as Zhu Cheng said the words "Jingxi Huangzhuang", the young farmer ran away like a rabbit.

Zhu Cheng was stunned and held the ingot, and was stunned: "It is said that money can be channeled, why can't I even get a small answer when I hold the ingots this time?" What is the secret of this Jingxi Huangzhuang that makes people here afraid when they hear it? ”

After a while, the young peasant came back snugly again, he looked around for a while, pointed not far away, and said, "Jingxi Huangzhuang is there." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the ingots in Zhu Cheng's hand and ran. The guards just wanted to chase, but Zhu Cheng shook his head and stopped it, the young farmer should not have lied to him, but he was afraid that he would know that the address of Jingxi Huangzhuang was leaked by him, so he ran away.

The group walked forward for a while, and finally saw Jingxi Huangzhuang.

Seeing Jingxi Huangzhuang, all the people gasped, if this is Huangzhuang, it is simply the worst Huangzhuang in the world: the area is pitifully small, only about ten acres, and some crops are sparsely planted on it; In the middle there is a shaky and dilapidated house that seems to collapse if you blow a breath.

Zhu Cheng and his entourage entered the Huangzhuang, because of the large number of people, and the crops in the Huangzhuang grew really pitiful, like weeds, everyone really couldn't recognize them, so they trampled on a lot.

Suddenly, four peasants with brooms rushed out of the house, shouting, "It's too much of a bully."

Of course, the farmer's combat power is not in the same weight class at all compared to the brocade guard, and these four farmers don't look very strong, so they are put down with three punches and two kicks.

One of the four brocade guards slipped a farmer and fell in front of Zhu Cheng.

Zhu Cheng asked, "Who are the four of you, and why did you attack this official?" ”

A farmer said angrily: "Our family is born as a Huangzhuang person, and died as a Huangzhuang ghost." You have already robbed a large area of land in Huangzhuang, and you will not even leave us a foothold, and we will not be allowed to resist. Sue you, if you want to get this last bit of land, you have to step over our corpses! ”

Cao Huachun was shocked: "This farmer is actually a father-in-law. ”

Everyone looked carefully, although these four farmers had been doing farm work for a long time and were very tanned, they had no beard on their faces, and they were indeed eunuchs.

Zhu Cheng was shocked, the eunuchs were really miserable, look at these four, their faces were haggard, and their faces were full of gloom.

Zhu Cheng motioned to Jinyiwei to help the four eunuchs up, and said, "The four fathers-in-law may have misunderstood, I was ordered by the emperor to manage this imperial village." ”

After hearing this, the four eunuchs burst into tears, knelt down, hugged Zhu Cheng's legs, and cried: "The emperor finally remembered the slave maid, the slave maid has been suffering all these years." ”

The eunuchs cried very sadly, tears and snot all came out, not bad at all, all smeared on Zhu Cheng's clothes, poor Zhu Cheng's high-end clothes of one or two silver.

Zhu Cheng secretly comforted himself that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the price of becoming someone else's savior is to destroy a piece of clothing.

The four eunuchs cried for a while before they calmed down, and now they wet Zhu Cheng's clothes, and hurriedly wiped them with their hands, but the mud on their hands wiped Zhu Cheng's body, and this dress was completely unwanted.

Zhu Cheng said: "What are the names of the four of you, what happened to this Jingxi Huangzhuang, how could it be so desolate?" ”

A eunuch said: "My name is Gao Qiqian, this one is Du Xun, this one is Wang Yingchao, and this one is Feng Yuansheng. Speaking of this Huangzhuang, alas, it's really hard to put into words......"

Originally, the area of Jingxi Huangzhuang was more than 2,800 hectares, and it was all fertile land, and it was rumored that wheat could grow even if flour was thrown into the soil. Therefore, the management of Jingxi Huangzhuang has become a fat shortage. However, in the late Wanli period, the emperor did not go to court, and some magnates saw that the opportunity was rare, and slowly began to encroach on the land of the imperial village. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the Huangzhuang was haunted again at this time. As long as it is a tenant of Huangzhuang, the family is either evil or a ghost, and these tenants are scared to quit the rent. In the end, the last ten acres of land were left in the Huangzhuang, and the four stewards and eunuchs had no way to do it, and they had no ability to transfer back to the palace, so they had to be farmers and self-sufficient. At this point, those landlords still refused to let them go, and came to make trouble every once in a while, trying to force them to move out.

Hearing this, Qiu Qiu interjected: "Haunted, I think it's almost a troublemaker." The Huangzhuang has the imperial spirit to cover the roof, and the ghosts retreat. How can there be a matter of renting the land of the Huangzhuang and attracting unjust ghosts. It was clear that those people wanted to drive the tenants away and then encroach on the land of the Imperial Village. ”

Zhu Cheng nodded and asked, "Do you know who those people who encroached on the land of Huangzhuang are?" ”

"British Duke Zhang Weixian, Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen, Duke Dingguo Xu Xihao, and some large and small lords."

Hearing these names, Zhu Cheng couldn't help but have a headache, he couldn't imagine that a small imperial village would be so big, three princes, and other marquis and earls.

Zhu Youzhen said: "This is worth it, you dare to rob the emperor's land, Brother Cheng, we led the troops to destroy them." ”

Zhu Cheng shook his head: "Ah Jian, this matter must not be reckless. The first emperor Emperor Shenzong Xian reigned for a long time and had high prestige, so he could shelter us. But now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, his foundation is unstable, and he has to listen to the opinions of ministers on many things. The ministers have long complained about the vast area of the imperial village, and now how can they help us speak. Besides, the British public has recently made a contribution to the establishment, and it is even more untouchable. ”

Zhu Youzhen said indignantly: "Is it just for them to be so domineering? ”

Qiu Qiu smiled flatteringly: "The little one has a way that is not a way, I wonder if the two sons are willing to listen to it?" ”
