Chapter 56: Failure of Calculation
When Tang Wan returned to the room, she saw that the officials were drinking one by one, but Zhou Huaili didn't have much at all, so he hurriedly arranged for the elders to go home to rest.
Looking at this state of affairs, he must not be able to leave, Xiaobing is still in a normal state, "Village Chief Zhou, now everyone is drinking a little happily, I'm afraid we can't work normally, you look at arranging a place for your brothers, you can't let us sleep in this grass shed." ”
Zhou Huaili was a little embarrassed, although his family was rich, he couldn't live in more than a dozen people.
At this time, Gao Zhaoan trotted over, pulled the village chief, muttered a few words in a low voice, and took some of the people away, Tang Wan guessed that this Gao family probably wanted to climb the relationship with the official mansion.
Zhou Huaili greeted Tang Wan and sent some of the remaining people out of the door, and the house was finally quiet.
Liu Niang was so frightened that she didn't react yet, and Kang Lin scolded angrily, "These bandits really defiled the official uniforms they were wearing." ”
Tang Chen listened, and his little eyes also burst into anger, "Sister said, the world is as black as a crow, these soldiers will collect money if they have nothing to do, and the dog officials above don't have a good thing." ”
When Liu Niang heard this, she quickly covered the child's mouth and patted him, "Nonsense, don't be spoiled by your sister, Wan'er, don't say it in front of your brother next time you speak, the official hasn't left yet, and if you hear it, you're going to cause trouble." ”
"Now the people are living in dire straits, and it is these so-called officials who protect each other, and those who use power for personal gain are tricks to manipulate power, and a few of them will care about the life and death of the people."
"Little ancestor, don't say it, when this comes to the mouth of the official, we can't eat and walk around."
Kang Lin was a little angry when he heard this, "Miss Tang, the imperial court of our Great Liang Kingdom is not only the corrupt officials and powerful ministers you mentioned, but also some righteous and clean officials, such as our Great Liang Kingdom God of War Prince, the Third Prince, and the Ninth Prince, are all loyal ministers for the country and the people." ”
"Lord Wang? What does it have to do with our people, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, even if they are benevolent, treat our hardships and difficulties, and want to lend a hand, but the relief funds they really decentralize, which really fall into the pockets of the people, and if they want to help the poor, they must fundamentally grasp it, not be exploited by them layer by layer. ”
Kang Lin had nothing to say, they pretended to be the people in their hearts and wanted to do something practical for them, but the people below really disappointed them.
In the past few days, living among the people, I have truly experienced that the common people can't get any benefits, just like Tang Wan said, it is the result of the protection of officials and officials.
It is imperative to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
I don't know how long the officers and soldiers slept, but after listening to Kang Lin's return to pray, the officers and soldiers continued to search one by one, and went back to rest before they searched a few houses, and asked people to pass the word and ask Tang Wan to go over and cook dinner for the officers and soldiers.
Qi Jingchen was a little angry, no one was here, why did he go over to cook for them, "Don't go, what's the difference between these scum who wear official clothes and don't do anything and bandits." ”
Tang Wan thought so in her heart, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, who called the people to represent the official family, she didn't dare not go, and they deliberately praised her cooking skills, she had to be.
For the first time, Qi Jingchen felt that Tang Wan's good cooking skills were a mistake, why did this girl cook today, if she didn't have good cooking skills, she didn't have to wait for them.
"I'll go with you, those things are all sanctimonious, and they are definitely not good things."
Tang Wan looked back at him with a serious attitude, knowing that he was really worried about himself, but what was there to worry about his ugly appearance, she gave him a reassuring smile, "Where to go, wait for the medicinal bath at home, and I will give you acupuncture and massage when I come back." ”
"Wan'er, let my mother accompany you!"
"Mother, you look dignified and virtuous, beautiful as a fairy, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, don't go, stay at home with my brother, I look so ugly, who will take a fancy to me, it's okay."
Qi Jingchen knew that no matter how much he insisted on this girl, he would not let himself follow, so he secretly made a plan in his heart.
Tang Wan looked at the sky and knew that these masters were not good at waiting, so she raised her legs and walked to the village chief's house.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the Gao family's compound, he saw the door of his house open, Gao Xiao'e looked at a loss, and walked out of the gate, "Tang Wan, you stop, why did you come when the officials asked you to cook?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Tang Wan was stunned, didn't she send a message to her to cook, how could she be in the Gao family? I wasn't sure, and I really didn't want to step into the Gao family again.
"Sister Xiao'e, Brother Xiaowu said that I was asked to go to the village chief's house to cook, and when I was ready, I would come and ask the officials to eat."
Tang Wan didn't want to entangle with her anymore, so she saw the little soldier next to the leader of the officers and soldiers walking out, "It's you, why did you come so late, hurry up and go in to cook." ”
Tang Wanxin said, if you don't want to go in, you have to go in, she walked in hard, and just after taking two steps, his rhubarb seemed to recognize herself, and she pulled the reins with her teeth and claws to pounce on herself.
Tang Wan glanced at the rhubarb, and suddenly had a plan in her heart, she deliberately pretended to trip and stumble, and dragged the trouser leg of the little soldier for fear of being frightened, and said, "Dog, official, I'm afraid of dogs." ”
Xiao Bing now has a request for her, looking at the Gao family's big dog really scurrying around, as if he has a grudge against Tang Wan, he meowed, saw that this dog was fat and strong, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come on, strangle this dog to death for me to honor our boss." ”
An order was given, so frightened that Gao Xiao'e hurriedly stepped forward to protect Rhubarb, to say that this dog listens to her the most, she is the only loyal dog in the family who is willing to listen to her in her mother's absence.
Gao Zhaoan saw that those people were going to move the dog, and knew that it was the lifeblood of his daughter, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said something small, "Official, official, there are not a few catties of meat on that animal, and there are about 200 catties of pigs at home, I have told your eldest brother that I will kill it immediately." ”
Xiao Bing listened, his eyes lit up, he had been to a few villages before, there was no such lively person as the Gao family to slap the horse, today at noon the boss kept praising the braised pork made by the ugly girl, and he was worried about the next meal, so he sent it to the door himself.
After thinking about it, he couldn't lose a big one because of a small one, so he gave an order and asked the brothers to go on a different route to kill the pigs.
"You should also hurry up, isn't this bolted, it won't bite your peace of mind."
Tang Wan's eyes darkened, this Gao Zhaoan really wanted to climb to the official family, and he was really willing to spend his blood.
I saw Gao Xiao'e looking at herself with angry eyes, let your dog live a little longer, sooner or later I will kill it and eat meat.
How could Gao Xiao'e not know that she was careful in her heart, and when the official left before she stepped forward and whispered, "Tang Wan, don't be clever, you want to take the opportunity to get rid of my rhubarb, wishful thinking." ”
Tang Wan smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Sister Xiao'e, I don't understand what you said, I'm afraid that your rhubarb is not a day or two, why did it become the life of wanting your rhubarb." ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me, you just did it on purpose, don't forget that you framed me, we haven't figured it out yet, you wait for me."
