The old man's little grandson, about five or six years old, has very bright eyes, and is very chubby and cute. The little guy was a little afraid of the living, and looked at Wang Lang curiously, but he didn't dare to come over.

"What's your name? Tell my brother that he will buy you candy to eat. Wang Lang teased the little guy, when Wang Lang said to buy candy to eat, the little guy's throat obviously swallowed saliva, seeing this, Wang Lang took out a piece of silver and handed it to the little guy's hand.

"This one will buy you candy to eat, and tell my brother what your name is."

The little guy looked at the silver in his hand, but he didn't know what it was, but he knew that it was not candy and couldn't be eaten, so he said with some disappointment, "I'm Xiaobao, big brother, what's the use of this thing." ”

"This thing is useful, it can buy you a bunch of candy to eat for a month." Wang Lang said happily.

When the little guy heard that the things in his hand could make him eat sugar for a month, he immediately grabbed it tightly, looked at Wang Lang and asked, "Big brother, don't lie to me, can this really be exchanged for a month's sugar?" ”

"Big brother doesn't lie to Xiaobao, don't lose what you have in your hand, you can eat at least a month's worth of sugar, it's still very good." Wang Lang said with a smile.

At this time, the old man walked into the house, saw the silver in Xiaobao's hand, immediately grabbed it, handed it to Wang Lang's hand and said, "Childe, how can I still ask for your silver." ”

When Xiaobao saw that the sugar for a month was gone, his little face suddenly blushed, and the water droplets in his big eyes began to turn, and there was a tendency to snatch out of his eyes.

"Uncle. Don't worry, buy Xiaobao something to eat. Xiaobao, take it, don't lose it. Wang Lang stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiaobao and said with a smile.

"Uncle's surname?" Wang Lang asked.

"The old man's surname is Liu, just call me Liu Laohan, a kind and honorable person like Gongzi doesn't dislike it, and he calls me uncle, which can torment the old man." Liu Laohan said. "Childe, Wang Wu said, the bean cake was given to you, and he resolutely did not accept the cash."

"Then give it to you, uncle, I really want to meet this fifth brother Wang, he is a cheerful person when he hears it." Wang Lang said with a smile.

"Childe, Wang Wu is also a poor man, and he doesn't accept your money, probably because he has already saved his will to die, and he thinks these things are useless." Liu Laohan picked up a bench and walked in front of Wang Lang and said.

"What the hell is going on, uncle, just tell me. If I can help, I can help. Wang Lang said.

"Childe is really kind-hearted, but this kind of thing, we are all powerless." Liu Laohan raised his body, sighed and said, "The parents of the five brothers left early, in their early thirties, and only then did they say that they had a daughter-in-law, who was very handsome and had a gentle and kind personality. If they were somewhere else, the couple would be able to live a good little life. It's a pity that in this ghost place, robbers are rampant, and after all, they are the way to cause trouble. Not a month ago, Wang Wu went out, and the robbers of Heiyunzhai entered the village to collect offerings, and when they saw the beauty of Wang Wu's daughter-in-law, they snatched it away. ”

Wang Lang listened to what Liu Laohan said, and thought in his heart, in this frontier, the rear of Lianyun's army was so rampant with bandits, and it seemed that Lianyun was also suffering from internal and external troubles. At this moment, Wufu said angrily, "Robbers are so rampant here, and the government doesn't care about it?" ”

Liu Laohan sneered, "Tube." He dared to care, the local county magistrate only cared about the hat on his head, and did not care about the life or death of these untouchables. ”

"The prefectural order doesn't matter. Doesn't anyone else care? Wang Lang asked.

Liu Laohan looked at Wang Lang and said, "Don't hide it from the son, there were people who were in charge of it before, the county lieutenant of this county, a good man who can capture the tiger alive, can't stand the bandits raging, and is determined to eradicate this group of people." But he didn't want to, his whereabouts were known in advance by the robbers, and he set up an ambush, and the Jiang County Lieutenant was besieged by hundreds of people, and finally he was killed by exhaustion, and his head was thrown in front of the county office. After that, no one dared to care about this gang of robbers, and the new county lieutenant would tremble his legs as soon as he heard about Heiyunzhai. ”

"In this way, Heiyun Village is already a disaster, and the local area has no ability to eradicate it, but you can request support from above. Not to mention anything else, General Zhenyuan's Mansion is not far from here, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command, so it should be easy to eradicate these thieves. Wang Lang thought for a while and said, Wufu echoed on the side, that's exactly the case.

Liu Laohan's expression became excited, and his face turned red and said, "If it is really like what Gongzi said, it is also very simple, I don't believe that Heiyunzhai can be more powerful than General Zhenyuan." However, the local county commander was afraid that bandits would be rampant under his rule and affect his career, so he did not report to the higher authorities at all. But we people have suffered, not only have to suffer the humiliation of robbers, but the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are heavier than before, and there are more bandits. ”

When Wufu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "This dog official, I can't wait to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin." ”

Wang Lang looked at Wufu and said, "Since the local county order doesn't matter, why don't you skip the level and file a complaint." ”

"Why not? I went back and forth more than a dozen times, and in the end, it said that there was no local county order, and the process was not clear, so I sent people back directly. In the end, these people ended up miserable, and the county magistrate hated these people, because these people who complained would ruin his future, so he treated these people in every way, and pulled them into the yamen for interrogation at two ends in three days, and often ate boards. Saying this, Liu Laohan coughed violently.

After a pause, Liu Laohan continued, "Heiyunzhai hates these people even more, and has killed more than a dozen people in a row, and no one dares to mention the matter of suing from now on." ”

When Wang Lang heard this, he only felt that his chest was tight, although he was a killer who was not in the stream before, and his hands were not clean, but he still had principles and never oppressed the good. For him, killing is a job, the only difference is that the butcher kills pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, he kills people.

"If the local county decree is like this, the people will suffer." Wang Lang said with a sigh.

"Who said it wasn't, don't talk about Wang Wu, even I wasn't like that, Xiaobao's father was afraid that Xiaobao's mother would be harmed by Heiyun Village, and finally took his mother away from home, and he didn't dare to come back at all, so he could only find acquaintances to bring some silver money back to our ancestors and grandchildren." When Liu Laohan said this, his eyes were already red, and he sighed.

Wang Lang looked at Liu Laohan and said in his heart how he could help them, but there was no good way for a while.

"Young master, you can help them, the people here are too pitiful." Wufu's chest rose and fell, his eyes were slightly red, and his nose gasped. In his eyes, his young master is also a capable person now, and there should be a way.

Wang Lang thought in his heart, this matter is a local matter, and he can't intervene at all, and even if he takes action himself, it will be too late in time, and he will have to go back. It seems that the only way to get the military to take action directly is to directly suppress this group of people in the name of training.

Thinking of this, Wang Lang looked at Liu Laohan and said, "Uncle Liu, you have paper and pen at home, I want to write a few letters." ”
