Chapter 3: Tampering with government decrees

The old man's face suddenly turned pale after feeling the murderous aura emanating from the black-faced official, and his body couldn't help but bend down.

But the next moment, he forcibly stood up straight, looked at the black-faced official and replied: "Back to the official, Xiaomin used to be a soldier under General Ding, and his name was Li Gang. ”

When he heard the old man's answer, the black-faced official turned pale, and he looked at the old man in surprise, he obviously didn't expect that the old man with white hair in front of him was still a soldier.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at an official behind him who was wearing a golden and black cloud pattern but a silver eagle head medal on his chest, and asked in a slow tone: "Military Affairs Division, check if there is a person named Li Gang in the Dragon and Tiger Battalion of the Western Army." ”

The official wearing the silver eagle head medal nodded slightly after hearing this, and then took out a transparent crystal ball the size of a billiard ball from his arms.

After taking out the crystal ball, the official put the crystal ball on his forehead, and then a magical and strange scene happened.

I saw tiny points of light suddenly appear in the transparent crystal ball, and as time went by, these points of light became more and more, and finally almost filled the entire crystal ball.

Seeing this scene, the child in white couldn't help but look at the crystal ball curiously, and what made him feel strange was that he could vaguely sense that there were words spinning in those points of light in the crystal ball!

"It's still the Military Affairs Department that is powerful, and they can be in charge of accessing all the personnel of the imperial court. ”

"The point is that they are treated much better than us, I heard that the moon is ten stones! more than three times more than us!"

"If you can, you can also go to the Military Affairs Division!"

“............”

Seeing that the officials were talking in a whisper, the black-faced officials turned their eyes and glared at the few people who were talking, and several people were so frightened that they immediately closed their mouths and didn't dare to say a word again.

However, they didn't say anything, but the villagers who were kneeling in the fields and didn't dare to look up exploded.

The monthly salary of an ordinary soldier turned out to be three stones of grain, which was three percent of the annual harvest of a labor force of oneself!

And that military affairs department is even more outrageous, and the harvest of a year's hard work in farming is only enough for a military affairs secretary for a month! Immediately, the villagers' hearts suddenly complained.

But because there are officials here, they don't dare to say it, so they can only hold back.

After all, since ancient times, it has been an iron law that the people do not fight with the officials.

And none of the villagers who fought with the officials had a good end.

After half a ring, the black-faced official frowned, and urged a little impatiently: "Have you found it?"

The official of the Military Affairs Department frowned after hearing this, obviously a little displeased, the Military Affairs Department has a special position, and the information he has is several times more than that of ordinary soldiers, and he is very respected. Now that the black-faced official is urging himself impatiently, how can he be happy?

However, after all, the other party is a military commander, one level higher than himself, although he is from the Military Affairs Department, he is only a soldier and has no official rank, so he pressed the displeasure in his heart and replied: "It's almost over." ”

At this moment, the child in white pointed to the crystal ball and shouted, "Li Gang!"

Hearing the white-clothed child shouting, everyone's faces changed suddenly, especially those officials, who looked at the white-clothed child like an ordinary monster.

The official of the Military Affairs Department was wide-eyed, glanced at the child in white in shock, and then hurriedly looked for the information of Li Gang in a flash.

And the old man's face changed, and he immediately glared at the child in white.

The child in white also realized that he might be causing trouble, so he immediately closed his mouth and looked at his people innocently.

The black-faced official glanced at the white-clothed child in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Can you see the words in the ball?"

The white-clothed child was suddenly a little frightened when the black-faced official looked at him like this, and hid behind the old man Li Gang with a stride.

Just as the black-faced official was about to speak, the official of the Military Affairs Department shouted: "Found it!"

The black-faced official squinted at the military affairs secretary and asked, "What this old man said is the truth?"

The military affairs secretary nodded when he heard this, and said, "There is indeed a soldier named Li Gang under General Ding's command?" Then he glanced at the old man and added: "The age and physical characteristics are all right, it should be right." ”

The old man listened to the words of the military affairs officer, and his tense body suddenly relaxed, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.

The black-faced official raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of the military affairs officer, and then he glanced at the old man up and down, raised his tone, and said coldly: "Since you are General Ding's subordinate, you should dedicate yourself to the soldiers." Then he paused for a moment, turned his head and ordered the official who had read out the order to increase grain: "Change the nine stones of grain payment in Qingquan Village to ten stones!"

The official who read out the order to increase food was stunned when he heard this, as if he was not sure if his ears had heard it wrong, and his eyes looked at the black-faced official in a daze.

And the other officials, even the official of the Military Affairs Department, looked at the black-faced official in surprise, obviously the black-faced official's words were beyond everyone's expectations.

The most shocked is the old man Li Gang and the villagers of Qingquan Village.

I thought that the old village chief Li Gang turned out to be General Ding Huding's old subordinate, and this black-faced official was able to raise his noble hand to reduce the amount of some increased grain, but who knew that the other party not only did not reduce it in the slightest, but increased it by one stone.

This immediately aroused the anger of the villagers, and one by one the villagers immediately stood up angrily and asked the black-faced official: "Why did you increase the number of our grain increase stones?"

There was even a villager who was a little literate and asked angrily: "Official, are you tampering with the decree without permission?"

Hearing this villager say the words of tampering with the decree without permission, everyone at the scene was stunned, and then looked at the villager named Zhou Bing one by one, and then looked at the black-faced official with nervous eyes.

I saw that the black-faced official at this time was pale, and the child in white felt that his face was even darker at this time.

The black-faced official stared straight at Zhou Bing and said arrogantly: "Tampering with the decree without permission? Today, I, Lawson, tampered with the decree without permission, what can you do to me?"
