The street ahead is not wide because it is not the main road. Now that there are so many people over there, it's even more troublesome to want to get there.

But this can't be difficult for those teenagers who want to go to Yu Rou's side.

Some forced their way into the crowd, some drove through other directions, and some even climbed onto the rooftops......

Yu Rou smiled, took the vendors' things with her own hands, and thanked everyone.

As a distant relative of the city lord, there are many people like her, there are many in the city lord's mansion. When everyone was brought here, they thought that they had flown up the branches and become dragons and phoenixes, but the reality was that they were just playmates called by Yu Sheng, the only son of the city lord. The man is nominally a young master, but in fact he is just Yu Sheng's lackey. The women are even more unbearable, and most of them have become Yu Sheng's playthings. She didn't want that.

Fortunately, when she was a child, she didn't look good-looking, and did not attract Yu Sheng's attention, she studied hard, from history and literature to handyman encyclopedias, proficient in everything, but also from time to time to the people, care for the city, send some grains, rice and herbs to those who are in need, and seek justice for those who have been wronged and humiliated. Therefore, the city lord also praised her very much and was very satisfied with her, until now when she grew up, Yu Sheng did not dare to act presumptuously towards her.

But she knew that this was only temporary, because she knew that the city lord was planning to marry herself to Yu Sheng. She didn't want to give her life to this scumbag. She has to find a good way out for her future, but in this huge Huaizhou, the city lord's family has all hands and eyes, and she can't find any way to escape, and even if she can, what should her parents do in the countryside?

When she was worried, she casually picked up those messy gifts, a special thing attracted her attention, it was a lifelike small wood carving, she didn't care, there are a lot of carpentry boys in the city, every time the gift received there are some wood carvings, but the carving is so good is rare, not to mention the careful look, it seems that she first came to Huaizhou, so she can't help but think of the little boy who gave her a wood carving many years ago. Could it be him?

Looking left and right, I don't know who it is, but he was dressed in brocade clothes at the beginning, and now these people in front of him are just poor boys. Alas, if he really fell so far, then it doesn't matter if he is not him. After receiving these small gifts, she got into a carriage and went back to the city lord's mansion, because many peasant households complained to her that the grain official had withheld a large amount of their grain, and she had to go and find out what the city lord meant.

There are still some disappointments in the poor road, but this disappointment is expected. But more of a chagrin, he had a lot of things to say, but he couldn't say a word when he really saw it, his whole head was blank, and in the situation just now, she probably couldn't hear what he said.

In his frustration, a soft little hand held his hand, which turned out to be Xiaohua.

Xiaohua: "You like that woman!" But people don't seem to like you! Let's go eat more. So saying, he dragged him towards the bustling market.

Poor Tu helped the girl wipe the red rock candy from her mouth and smiled: "What do you know about a little kid who hasn't grown up." After laughing, I was a little lonely, since my father left, the poor road has come out of the heart of the original teenager. I already know my current situation clearly, and the difference between me and her, this gift can be regarded as a break for my young budding love.

The girl pouted and hugged his arm and rubbed, "Hmph! Who said I didn't grow up. Don't call me a little brat. ”

Desperately broke away and said: "In broad daylight, men and women can't kiss!" ”

The girl glanced at her mouth: "But I live in your house now." Haven't we all done what husbands and wives should do? Do you want to be irresponsible? ”

Desperately covered her mouth: "What have you learned in the past few days!" Don't talk nonsense, being heard by others really thinks that I have done something to you. ”

The girl broke his hand and cried out, "But we all slept together!" ”

The voice spread far away, and the people around him tacitly snickered.

I don't know when the poor mother who arrived here exclaimed: "Tu'er, you, you have already put people..."

I can't tell you if you really have a mouth.

In fact, the poor mother is also very satisfied with this girl named Xiaohua, she is beautiful, and she is young, convex and upturned, although the amount of food is a little large, but she will definitely be a good child in the future. The poor mother said happily: "Then wait a few days, when your father's funeral period is over, let's set a date to handle the marriage of the two of you. ”

Poor and the girl looked at each other, and the poor thought that although the girl was very good, very good, but he already had someone in his heart, although he also understood that it was impossible, but he didn't want to be with other women for a while. The girl thought, although her spiritual wisdom was first opened in the human world, but there seems to be a prohibition between different races in the demon path that prohibits love between different races, but if she does that, it seems to be a maverick goblin, oops, it's good, after all, the old Taoist priest said that he was different.

"Poor aunt, you are here, eh, you are also in the poor road, wow, this is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, she is really beautiful, you kid is really good!" A black-faced teenager came in a hurry, his name was Li Er, the second in the family, and he also lost his father due to the last snake disaster.

Poor Road: "Li Er, do you have something to do?" ”

Li Eryi patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm a fool, you don't know, our grain was seized by the grain officer." ”

Desperate wondered: "What kind of food?" Our rice hasn't been harvested yet, right? ”

Li Er shouted: "You don't know, the official family said that it was because the farmers suffered a snake attack this time, and there were heavy casualties, and they were afraid of affecting the harvest time, so the official family specially invited a Taoist master to help us harvest the rice and transport it to the official granary with a spell, and now we are asked to receive the grain, but it stands to reason that my family's harvest this year is at least 1,000 catties, but only 200 catties were given, which is not enough for my own family to eat now." ”

Poor Tu said angrily: "They are so bullying! ”

Li Er: "So, we farmers discussed going together to seek justice, and everyone else went, and I just went to your house and didn't see you, so I came to look for you." ”

When the poor people arrived at the door of the grain officer's house, they found that the peasant households were all stopped by the guards and were not allowed to enter, and one person shouted at the door: "If you have not received the grain, go and queue up to register to receive the grain of your family, otherwise those who do not receive it today will not be able to receive it again." The man ignored the protests of the peasants below and repeated the phrase over and over again.

"Miss Yu Rou has arrived." I saw a sedan chair under the maid next to him shouting loudly.

Yu Rou stepped down from the sedan chair and comforted everyone: "Don't worry, wait for me to ask the grain officer." ”

The people who had been calling at the door to queue up to receive food saw that the city lord's lady was coming, and they hurriedly went to inform them.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly fluttered and rushed over, it was the grain officer, he bowed his hand to Yu Rou and said, "My subordinates don't know that Miss has arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Yu Rou asked, "I heard that you withheld the grain of the farmers?" ”

The grain officer shouted with an innocent face: "Even if your subordinates have ten thousand guts, they don't dare!" ”

Yu Ju said: "Then why can you produce thousands of catties of land but only a few hundred catties of grain, isn't it because you have filled your pockets?" ”

The grain officer shouted: "Miss, don't you know, the crops that have been ruined by the snakes can't be harvested much, and the master who invited them also has to give money, so that the hundreds of catties given to them are still partly from the granary." ”

Yu Rou snorted: "I know your abacus, show me the account book." ”

The grain officer's fat face wrinkled: "This, the account book is not with me." ”

Yu Rou asked, "Where are you here?" ”

"My good sister, here I am." A long-fronted, white-faced man walked out of the inner hall with a ledger. He handed the ledger to Yu Rou and leaned into her ear and said, "My good Rou sister, you look at the ledger and see what is wrong, if it is not right, my brother will immediately kill this dog for you." ”

Yu Rou took the account book, turned away from Yu Sheng, and said to the farmers below: "All households, please listen carefully." ”

Just as she was about to start reading, she found that the grain intake of each household was indeed more than 1,000 catties, but to her surprise, more than half of them were sent to the city lord's mansion, and she didn't hear that the city lord needed a lot of food, so it must be Yu Sheng. Looking at the guards with sharp weapons in their hands, if they tell the actual situation, there will inevitably be conflicts, resulting in deaths and injuries, and the important thing is that the city lord has just gone to retreat and cultivate, and he doesn't know when he will see it.

She pondered it for a while and read: "Zhang Caijia, four hundred and fifty catties of grain, and fifty catties of ..... will be deducted" Yu Sheng's face was no longer good-looking, she was so bold that she actually gave each family an extra two hundred catties.

After reading the account book, Yu Rou handed the account book back to Yu Sheng and said with a smile: "Thank you, cousin, I'll go home first." ”

Yu Sheng looked at the sedan chair in the distance fiercely, and said hatefully: "Now that my father relies on you, when you are promised to me, I will definitely abuse you in every way to avenge the many humiliations." ”

The grain officer on the side hurriedly responded and said, "Yes, torture her well." ”

"What do you say! What are you! Is she someone you can talk about? Yu Sheng glared at the grain officer.

The grain officer hurriedly confessed and begged for mercy.

For the people below, they can't control what happened above, and it is already a great thing to receive an extra 200 catties, so they no longer quarrel, persuade each other, and accept their fate to receive food.

It was already evening, and after everyone had gone, the poor man stood there and refused to go, even if the poor mother tried every persuasion to leave. Poor Tu's heart was full of anger, because those whispered complaints and curses were accompanied by helpless sighs, which gradually disappeared, and he didn't understand why he didn't shout out loud when he was dissatisfied, and why he swallowed it in his stomach when he was wronged.

When the grain officer saw that there were still people with a pestle, he walked over angrily, just as he wanted to teach this boy a lesson.

Desperate Tu picked up the short and fat grain officer, locked his throat, and glared angrily, the originally angry grain officer suddenly weakened his legs, and he stammered: "Strong... What do you command, sir..."

Glance at the soldiers approaching with their weapons in hand. The grain officer hurriedly reprimanded: "A group of rice buckets, quickly retreat... Ahem..."

Desperately choked the grain officer's neck, and the poor mother was anxious to break his hands.

Seeing that the grain officer's face gradually turned blue, he still didn't want to let go, the anger in his heart and the depression for many days made him gradually lose his mind.

Suddenly, a cool feeling burst from his chest and rushed to his mind, and the originally angry Desperation sobered up.

He let go of his hand, and the grain officer fell to his knees with weak legs, coughing loudly.

A pawn who thought he was athletic led the charge, and the rest of the soldiers also surrounded him. Poor did not resist and let them catch.

The grain officer stood up angrily, raised his hand and was about to shake off the man's big ears to vent his hatred.

Exhausted Tu trembled, shook away the few people who suppressed him, blocked the grain officer's hand with one hand, and the backhand was a slap, and the grain officer who smoked directly flew up, fell heavily to the ground, and then remained motionless, it seemed that he was dizzy.

The soldiers who had just been pinned down to the end of the road were terrified. No one dares to move forward anymore.

Poor Tu smiled and said, "The crime of beating the grain officer should not be small, so arrest me and put me in prison." ”

But no one dares to approach the end of the road anymore, they are all meager money, and no one wants to be beaten like a grain official for no reason.

The poor mother was busy pulling the poor road, and said anxiously: "What are you doing!" Let's get out of here. ”

Poor Tu turned to the anxious poor mother and asked, "Mother, didn't you teach me that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people?" Why run away. ”

The poor mother shook her head and sighed, "Alas! Both of you father and son have this temper tantrum. Mother knows that you are complaining. But in this situation, if you go to prison, the grain officer will probably buy you in many ways and torture you in prison. Mother is afraid that when you come out, you will no longer be human. So, we can only leave quickly. “

Stunned for a moment, he said with some disbelief: "How come? Seeing that the poor mother didn't look like I was lying to you, Poor Tu pondered for a while and said, "If this is really unfair here, then when I come out, let's leave here." But this time I wanted to give it a try. After speaking, he walked in the direction of the Great Yamen.

Xiaohua followed and asked, "Brother Tu, where are you going?" ”

"Go and accept the verdict and go to jail."

"What verdict? Is it the thunder of the catastrophe? ”

"Heavenly thunder? No, it's something wrong and you have to be punished. ”

"What did you do wrong?"

"I wounded the man."

"Ahh What is it to hurt someone, the weak eat the strong, isn't it like this in the Three Realms? ”

"I don't know what to say, you better hurry up and go back with my mother."

"I want to follow you." Xiaohua grabbed the hand of the poor road.

Poor Tu had no choice but to stop and smiled at Xiaohua: "Okay, don't be coquettish." I will accompany my mother back first, and I will go back in a few days. ”

The gentle voice made Poor Xiaohua's heart ripple, and the woman's nature made her notice that Poor Tu's words were slightly different, he was talking about his mother, not my mother, so did he mean that his mother was his own mother. Thinking of this, Xiaohua nodded shyly and turned to find the poor mother.

Poor Tu looked at the little flower who ran away with a red face, completely unaware of what was going on, the girl's idea was really strange, Poor Tu thought to himself.

It's getting dark, and night is falling.

Huaizhou Yamen, lobby.

The prefect looked at the young man who had thrown himself into the net, and wondered if he had heard something wrong, so he asked again: "You said that you came to surrender because you injured the grain officer?" ”

Poor nodded his head.

The prefect looked puzzled, is this young man a fool, how can there be a person who beats an official and votes for an official, the word "official protection", even the beggars on the street know it. This person also sent it to the door himself, and he admitted that he was wrong! Now you don't have to find your own reasons.

Wrong! There must be a conspiracy in this, as for what it is, I have to investigate and investigate, so as not to fall into the trap of others and lose this black yarn hat. The prefect thought to himself.

"You can't just say what you say. Someone came, and put him in prison first. ”

After being escorted down, the prefect immediately returned home, called a concubine, and told her to visit the city lord's house, Miss Yu Rou, and deliver the letter.

At this moment, among the grain officials, the grain officer also woke up. He angrily ordered to prepare the carriage and prepare to go to the Great Yamen.

Poor family courtyard.

Xiaohua was lying on the bed, turning around, but she couldn't sleep, she looked at the mottled earthen wall in front of her, and thought that there was no end on the other side of the wall, and she couldn't help but feel upset in her heart. So she got up quietly, gently pushed open the window, rolled over and jumped out, she was going to find the end of the road.

Seeing the girl climb over the wall and leave, the poor mother came out from behind the tree and sighed, "This girl is really extraordinary!" It's not a mortal, it's just that her body seems to be shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see her true strength...... Forget it, no matter what, she seems to be sincere to Tu'er, and it shouldn't be bad for Tu'er. ”

In fact, when Poor Tu brought the girl back for the first time, the poor mother already sensed that something was wrong. An ordinary girl would never be able to survive in that swamp that even a Jindan master would not dare to go to easily, but the girl's subsequent performance was no different from that of an ordinary woman, which made her wonder if her judgment was wrong.

The poor mother once hoped that her family could live their lives in peace like ordinary people, but it seemed impossible.

The father and son are jealous and hateful by nature, and they are even more unbearable and unfair, and they will never compromise and seek perfection. Even if it can be suppressed for a while, it can't last forever. Just like that serpent attack. Brother Ming, he finally couldn't help it, maybe he thought it was relief. It's all because I'm too demanding.

Shook his head, no more cranky. The poor mother walked out of the courtyard.

Huaizhou Prison.

"Brother, you are really amazing, you beat the food officer and actually went to prison by yourself." A pawn in charge of escorting the poor said with admiration.

Poor Tu smiled and didn't answer.

City Lord's Mansion, Hanmei Listening to Snow Courtyard.

"So, this one called Poor Road wasn't sent by you, Miss?" A delicately dressed woman was surprised.

Yu Rou frowned and said, "How could your master suspect me?" ”

The woman hurriedly said, "No, no." The lord definitely didn't doubt the young lady's meaning, but there are not many people in Huaizhou who dare to compete with Young Master Yu Sheng, and the lord just sent me to ask, if not, he would 'handle it impartially'. The woman deliberately accentuated the tone of 'impartiality', and then carefully examined Yu Rou's expression.

Yu Rou knew that this impartial handling was equivalent to handing over people to the grain officer, and it was usually either death or injury.

"Who else is in that house called Poor Road?" Yu Rou asked, if there are more family members, then she has to come forward, and if she solves it, she can gather more people's hearts. If it's just a few people, then let that kid suffer a little, after all, the grain official is also easy to control, and she doesn't want to be replaced by a smart person like the prefect.

"Just an old mother, and a lonely girl who I picked up out of nowhere a few days ago." Woman.

Yu Rou looked at the woman, and she knew that this woman was turning a corner to intercede for the young man called Poor. I heard that this woman is also favored by the prefect because of her kindness and intelligence.

"Then don't hurt his life, and don't torture him too much. But some small punishments can be used, so that the grain official can vent his anger, and also let the young man who is not afraid of the tiger understand that it is better to respect those officials. lest he save him this time, and next time he will be stunned and cause trouble. Yu Rou pondered.

The woman thanked her and went back.

Yu Rou was about to rest, when the maid came over: "Miss, someone asked to see her, she claimed to be the owner of Wanhua Building." ”

Yu Rou was shocked, how could it be her? Won't it ......

"Please."

A plainly dressed, plump figure and elegant woman walked in, although it was so simple and elegant, her face was actually that beautiful and flamboyant, because of the makeup, so it looked a little different.

"How is Miss Yu Rou?" She laughed.

"Well, that's good. The owner of Wanhua Mansion, who once turned me away thousands of miles away, why did Yaxing come to visit today? Yu Rou smiled back.

"Haha, I apologize to you for being rude. This time, I came here, but there was something urgent. ”

Yu Rou's heart was happy, it stands to reason that she should not know these dusty women. But by chance, when she learned that Yu Sheng's rampant domineering had no effect at all in Wanhualou, she began to pay attention to Wanhualou. After many investigations, it was still impossible to find out its details, which made Yu Rou curious.

Anyway, what is certain is that if she wants to get rid of the Yu family safely and leave Huaizhou, this Wanhualou will definitely be able to help.

But no matter how she showed favor or threatened, it had no effect on Wanhualou. She had to give up. Now it seems that good luck has come, and this Wanhualou also has a day to ask for itself. I'll have to bargain for it.
