Chapter 358: After several twists and turns

Just when Yecheng was holding the celebration banquet of the Yuan family, Sima Yi on the other side of Wancheng was being brutally ravaged by Pu Yuan.

Wancheng, Qingfeng Array, on the edge of the undeveloped field, Sima Yi is like a ploughing ox, working hard.

"That side, that side, that side of the ground is not deep enough, use a little force, you didn't eat breakfast!" Pu Yuan was lying under the shade of the tree, holding a bellflower in his mouth, as if he had no intention, but in fact he had been staring at Sima Yi's every move.

"I didn't eat it in the first place!" Sima Yi slammed the hoe to the ground, turned around and howled at Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan picked his nostrils, and his expression was very leisurely: "Nonsense, I stole four chickens from the old man and packed two geese, but I was embarrassed to say that I didn't eat?" How embarrassed you to say it! ”

When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into tears.

"Pu Yuangong, Mr. Pu Yuan, it was three days ago to eat four chickens, and those two geese have also been looted back by you, I haven't dripped, just working on the land, you can do well, that is, in the spirit of being able to continue to squeeze me, can you also give me two mouthfuls of food? In case I am tired and falls, who will plough this land for you, and who will loosen this soil for you? Who will return the four chickens in the future? Someone once said to me that officials should not only focus on immediate interests, but also focus on sustainable development. ”

Hearing this, Pu Yuan touched his chin and nodded, "Sustainable development? Does that make sense? Says who? ”

"A dog calf surnamed Yuan."

"You still scolded him if you told you such a reasonable thing, you are really not a good cake! I wanted to give you two bites... Seeing that you are so inhumane, forget it and continue to plow the land! Dig deeper! Don't do a good leather whip to serve! ”

Sima Yi: "........................"

From morning to night, from day to night, it is the rice grains that have not entered, and the water has not been touched, when the hoe is put down. Sima Yi was already tired and dizzy, and his waist couldn't stand up.

Pu Yuan was still holding a bellflower in his mouth, walking around, watching the results of Sima Yi's ploughing, nodding as he walked, and secretly admired.

"Yes, it's really good, I can't see that this kid is a good ploughman, better than my family's ploughing ox! If you train well for a few months, you can keep it a good seedling......."

"Village Chief! Chief~~! ”

With a roar. But seeing a tall and broad man running towards him, Pu Yuan turned his head and saw the farmer running sweating profusely, obviously having something important to report, then raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" Running in such a hurry? ”

"Village Chief, we're going to be in trouble!"

Pu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said strangely: "What's the matter?" What's the trouble, talk slowly. ”

The big man gasped. Then he whispered to Pu Yuan: "Village Chief, it's not good, the subordinate officials of Wancheng Taishou sent someone to the village just now, saying that it was three days later." This season's tax grain will be levied, so let's prepare as soon as possible, if the preparation is not complete, the strong man will be levied according to the method of three out of three. Village Chief, what can I do now! ”

Pu Yuan's face changed, and he said, "The day of the expropriation." There are still more than two months left, how can it suddenly be advanced? ”

The peasant man shook his head and said: "I don't know what to do, but it is said that because Jingzhou has just fought two tough battles with Dongwu, Hebei Yuan Shang and other major powers, and there are some losses, Liu Jingzhou ordered the local government to make up for it within a time limit, and the local officials are incompetent and cannot deliver it within a time limit, so they can only blackmail ......... from the people."

Pu Yuan stomped his foot heavily and said hatefully: "These stupid thieves and officials, they are incompetent, but they are harming our people for no reason!" ”

Dahan's face was anxious: "Village chief, it's too late to say anything now, the deadline is three days, let's ...... How to prepare for it? Do you really want to use a strong man to make up for it? There are already few men in the village, and if this happens, our lives will be even more difficult for the next year's taxes! ”

Pu Yuan nodded when he heard this, touched his chin and pondered for a long time, and then slowly shifted his gaze to Sima Yi, who was tired on the cultivated land.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

When the peasant man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Village Chief, what are you going to do?" ”

"Just hand over that kid and hand it over to Wancheng Taishou, I believe it will be enough to pay my village's taxes for a year."

"Him?" The peasant man was suddenly surprised when he heard this, obviously not believing Pu Yuan's words: "Can he pay taxes for a year?" Really? ”

Pu Yuan laughed and said in a low voice: "Three days ago, when I captured this kid back to the village, I deliberately carefully observed his belongings, and found that there was a set of silver armor and a Xichuan Shu brocade robe, although it was a bit embarrassing, but they were all valuable things, and those who could afford to wear them were by no means ordinary generals, and they must be the main core figures in a certain army!" ”

"Hiss-" The peasant man gasped, thought for a moment and said, "Then he... Who will be the important person? ”

Pu Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter which army he is an important general, the important thing is that he is not a general in our Jingzhou." ”

Da Hanqi said: "How can you be so sure of the village chief? ”

"If he is a high-ranking official and general in our Jingzhou, when he is arrested that day, he will directly report his identity, that is, why is he chirping crookedly fighting against us, and he is still compromising to cultivate the land for us here? If he is a member of the Jingzhou Army, if Xiu Dao eats our four chickens, he will eat all the chickens in the whole village, and we all have to be with him! Isn't it? ”

When the peasant man heard this, he was stunned.

"In other words, he must be an important figure in the foreign army!"

"Yes, such a person, if he bets on the right treasure, he doesn't need to pay taxes and grains, and he can't say that there will be a reward on it."

Dahan was overjoyed when he heard this: "If that's the case, the village chief, let's tie him up tomorrow and send him to the official?" “

"Tie up and send the officer!"

******************************

Poor Sima Yi, after helping Pu Yuan work hard for three days, was beaten by him to exchange taxes for officials, and he was really sold and counted for others.

On the second day, Sima Yi was still in the shack and had the dream of returning to Hebei, Yuan Shang invited him to eat and visit the kiln, and suddenly rushed into a few big men, tied Sima Yi into a ball like a dumpling, and then lifted it up and ran outside.

Sima Yi woke up from his sleep coldly, and suddenly became anxious when he saw this, he struggled vigorously, and shouted at several big men: "What are you doing?" What are you going to do! ”

As if they hadn't listened, several big men just mechanically lifted Sima Yi to a wooden prison car, opened the door, and then "banged" Sima Yi inside, and then locked the door heavily, led by horses, and slowly drove towards the outside of the village.

Sima Yi was stunned when he saw this, he looked left and right, and a very bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Pu Yuan was waiting there, he glanced Sima Yi up and down, then nodded, and said to the crowd: "Let's go, go to Wancheng." ”

It's just that after hearing the words "go to Wancheng", Sima Yi's brain suddenly buzzed, wilting.

"Pu Yuan! Pu Yuan! What do you mean! What do you mean! ”

Pu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Sima Yi quietly, without squeaking.

"Pu Yuan, are you trying to pull me to see the official? Okay you! Didn't you say that you would work for two months, and when you paid off your debts, you would let me go? It's only been a few days, and you're backtracking!? You're a bastard! Unload the mill and kill the donkey, you! ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yi was stunned suddenly, feeling that this metaphor was a little inappropriate, and then changed his words and scolded, no matter how he called, Pu Yuan just didn't say anything, just urged the escort team to Wancheng.

Sima Yi is really anxious now, Wancheng was snatched by Liu Bei from Zhang Xiu, if he really got there, his life would be completely over! Regardless of anything else, just saying that he was one of Yuan Shang's most trusted masterminds, Liu Bei had to scrape it piece by piece with a knife

The escort team came to a fork in the road, where Pu Yuan was looking for a shortcut to Wancheng, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, but saw a Biao army wearing Jingzhou military uniforms hurrying towards here.

Led by a big man dressed in the costume of a school captain, with big shoulders and a round waist, a lion's mouth and a wide nose, a large tuft of beards on his chin, his eyes were as round as Tongling, and his whole body exuded a majesty that gave up on him.

The Jingzhou army led by Dahan rushed to Pu Yuan's team, looked up and down, then looked at the prisoner cart behind them, and spoke at Pu Yuan with a roar like tearing.

"Who are you? What kind of prisoner cart is pressed? Where to go! ”

Pu Yuan saw that the Jingzhou army did not dare to slack off, hurriedly saluted, and said to the big man: "Master Qiqi, this person is a foreigner who was caught in the village the day before yesterday, and he suspected that it was the enemy's meticulous work, and he did not dare to conceal it, so he specially sent it to Wancheng and handed it over to Yu Taishou. ”

When the big man heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "What bullshit! , if you can be caught by a group of peasants, then it can also be regarded as a spy? Then he did too much tricky work! Who are you fooling! ”

Pu Yuan said with a smile: "This military master, how dare you deceive such a big thing, the villain is just a mere integrity, if you really take a fake to fool Taishou, wouldn't the villain be tired and crooked?" This matter is true, there is evidence, and I hope that the military master will be there."

"Alright, alright! Grinding and chirping! ! You give this person to Lao Tzu, and I will send it to Wancheng Taishou for you, and it just so happens that Lao Tzu is also going to see him! ”

When Pu Yuan heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said: "Master Jun, how dare you work for such a trivial matter, I don't think it's necessary."

"Brush!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the steel knife of the big man was already on Pu Yuan's neck.

"Silently chirping, the most annoying thing for Lao Tzu is that you are playing a bitch like a man all the way! Give you three numbers, leave people behind, and get the fuck out of here! (To be continued......)
