Zhang Yi took Huang Zhong to inquire around, and there were as many as seven families in the same situation as that sister-in-law. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to devour Chen Yu alive, he swore that he had never hated a person so much, or Chen Yu couldn't be called a human at all, because he was a shameless bastard!

It turned out that in order to repair the city defense of Anyi City, Chen Yu arrested a lot of strong men two years ago, and after those strong men were captured, Chen Yu never gave them a penny, but he gave the families of those strong men enough rations, but those rations were used to feed the bran and black beans of the livestock.

There is no strong man to work at home, and the output of grain in the field is directly reduced by more than half, fortunately, in the last two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the life of the poor can barely live, but today's drought, the harvest in the field is poor, and the people can't survive, but Chen Yu's imperial grain is not less, and if he can't pay the imperial grain, he will send someone to catch people's children to sell, a boy can sell for 20 gold, a girl can sell for 15 gold, as for where it is sold, where the money goes, this is only Chen Yu and God know.

After inquiring about the situation with other people in the village, Zhang Yi had an idea in his heart, he turned around and took Huang Zhong to find the sister-in-law, and called seven other families in the same situation together.

After dealing with the affairs of Mazhuang, Zhang Yi led everyone to continue on the road, but at this time there were more than a dozen people missing from Zhang Yi's team.

After walking for about two hours, Zhang Yi and others arrived at Dongyuan Township, in the market of Dongyuan Township, Zhang Yi saw an extremely bloody scene, a group of scholars, landlords and squires, in order to have fun, actually built a square high platform, the middle of the high platform with a wooden fence to form a circle, let people fight with hungry wolves with their bare hands inside, if people kill the wolf, you can get a bucket of rice, but if the battle is defeated, then he will become the wolf's dinner.

When Zhang Yi and the others came over to look, the battle inside was over, and the hungry wolves were gnawing at the corpses of people, while the squires of the Shi clan, who usually regarded themselves as high, were excitedly shouting and cheering for the wolves, as if it was not people who were gnawed below, but other livestock.

"These bastards!"

Huang Zhong, who was furious, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach those scum a lesson, but was stopped by Zhang Yi.

Secretly shaking his head at Huang Zhong, Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "We will settle this account with them sooner or later, and we can't expose it now." ”

Pulling Huang Zhong out of Dongyuan Township, Zhang Yi didn't want to continue to stay in this dirty place, and he didn't want to rest at all, so everyone continued to hurry after a short rest, according to Zhang Yi's words, he didn't believe that there was no good official in the entire Hedong County, and there was no place where the people could live and work in peace and contentment.

On the way, Zhang Yi has been thinking about how to save the people from fire and water, but after thinking about it, the first thing is to sit in the position of Taishou, but Zhang Yi himself knows that it is not easy to sit in the position of Taishou.

According to Heihu's description, Zhang Yi felt that Chen Yu was both insidious and vicious, he had been a Taishou in Hedong County for many years, and had formed his own power, which could almost be said to be the emperor of Hedong County, according to Heihu's words, even the largest scholar clan in Hedong County, the descendant of Wei Zifu, the former Empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was also in Hedong County and Chen Yu's well water did not violate the river water, and even gave Chen Yu three points of thin noodles, which shows how powerful Chen Yu is in Hedong County.

"I've figured out how to enter the Taishou Mansion, but how to get into the city?" Riding on a horse, Zhang Yi thought hard about how to enter the city as he walked.

Zhang Yi guessed that with Chen Yu's personality, even if he saw Xin Chou, he would definitely check the people entering the city at various city gates at this juncture, maybe one or two people could get in, but if only one or two people were mixed in, there was almost no chance of winning against Chen Yu, but if a large group of people went in, they would have to carry a blade, how could it not make people suspicious? Zhang Yi thought about this for a long time and couldn't come up with a way, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Before sunset, Zhang Yi and they rushed to Pingyuan Village, Pingyuan Village is a small village closest to Anyi City, less than ten miles away from Anyi City, and belongs to the jurisdiction of Xia Xian, the closest to Anyi, Zhang Yi arrived at the periphery of this village, and found that there was cooking smoke rising in the village, which made Zhang Yi overjoyed, he asked most of the soldiers to wait outside, and he took Huang Zhong and two soldiers to prepare to enter the village to ask for some water to drink, and by the way, inquire about the situation of this village.

Walking all the way to the village, Zhang Yi saw that the people in the village were busy preparing their dinners, which Zhang Yi had never seen along the way.

Outside a farmhouse, Zhang Yi saw an aunt washing rice, and ordinary people could actually eat rice, which made Zhang Yi quite excited, he hurriedly got off the horse and almost trotted into the yard.

"You are ......"

Looking at the stranger who appeared in her yard rashly, the aunt was very vigilant.

After calming down his mood, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, I am a passer-by, thirsty and want to beg for a bowl of water to drink." ”

"Oh, wait a minute."

Hearing Zhang Yi say that she wanted to beg for water, the aunt immediately put down the rice trough in her hand and went back to the house to take out a few bowls.

Taking advantage of the aunt's efforts to pour water, Zhang Yi asked tentatively: "Auntie, all I saw along the way were displaced people, but why are you very peaceful here, and you can even eat rice?" ”

The aunt smiled, put down the water scoop and explained: "Other Xian cities, like us, tenants who rent land, fifty percent of the grain that is beaten down in a year will be handed over to the owner, and the remaining fifty percent will be taken out to hand over thirty percent to the imperial grain, so there is not much ration left, and we can only change the refined grain to coarse grain to barely survive, but here, the grain handed over to the imperial grain is 20% of the main family, 20% of the tenants, and the main family only collects 40% of the tenant rent, so we can still get by, although there is a big drought this year, we have a river here, so the impact is not big." , and it is precisely because of the drought that the county ordered the adults to exempt us from the imperial grain, so we are living better than in previous years. ”

The aunt's explanation made Zhang Yi quite pleased, because he finally found an official who was not greedy, and finally met a gentleman who was not stingy.

After taking a sip of water, Zhang Yi asked with a smile: "Auntie, what is the name of your county magistrate?" Who is the owner? ”

"I don't know about this," shaking his head, the aunt said: "I only know that the surname of the Lord of County D is Chen, quite young, as for the situation of the owner, I know a lot, the owner is not a native of the locals, they only moved here a few years ago, it is said that they moved from Chenliu, the lord is called Dian Heng." ”

"Dianheng?" Hearing Dian Heng's name, Zhang Yi smiled: "It's really like stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go." ”

The reason why Zhang Yi said this is because the friend Sima Wei said was the Dianheng in the aunt's mouth.

Zhang Yi was thinking about whether to go to see Dian Heng now, but suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and he turned his head to see that it was Gao Shun, who had been following Zhang Yi and them.
