Chapter 245: Righteous Rescue
The people who were saved really made those guys shut up. Originally, all these things that happened, he heard it clearly, and knew that this time he was really going to be killed by that Ma Fenglin, in despair, he just thought about the elderly mother at home, thinking that he died so inexplicably, no one would know, and when he was heartbroken and felt that there was no hope of survival, he was miraculously saved by someone.
At this time, the black cloth on his head was removed, and he could finally see the surrounding environment and the two life-saving benefactors standing in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that by the moonlight, the first thing he saw was a face that was not as beautiful as a mortal person.
Seeing that the other party was staring at him curiously and was stunned, Zong Jiyuan thought that he hadn't woken up from the fright, so he couldn't help laughing, and pulled out the thing that was stuck in his mouth, saying,
"What a daze, you're already saved, you won't die."
"Ah......h
This person still looks very young, no more than thirty years old at most, after listening to Zong Jiyuan's words, he first hesitated, and then looked at Qi Qingyun, who was untying the rope for him, and then asked,
"But, who are you two? Why did you come to my rescue? β
"Do you think we're here to save you?"
Qi Qingyun chuckled as he untied the rope from his body,
"Our uncle and nephew saw that Ma Fenglin was doing a lot of evil, and I wanted to teach him a lesson, but I happened to encounter this incident and saved you by the way."
"Yes, yes......"
The young man looked at them both curiously, and asked,
"But do you know who I am? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble if you save me? β
"Hey, I'm talking about this big brother,"
Zong Jiyuan was angry and funny by his "cautious" question, and said impatiently,
"Didn't you listen to my uncle just now, we were originally going to come to find trouble with Ma Fenglin, how could we be afraid of causing trouble? We don't care who you are, judging by that guy's hell-bent on hurting you, you shouldn't be too bad. β
"I see, it seems that I am really lucky today, and I was able to meet a knight, so ......"
Speaking of which, this young man, who had just basically regained his freedom, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them.
"The two benevolent fathers are above, and they are more thankful for the rain in Xiatian."
"Oh my God,"
Zong Jiyuan was very uncomfortable by his worship, and immediately jumped to the side and said with a smile,
"I said this, Brother Tian, our uncle and nephew just passed by here and happened to encounter an injustice, so they rescued you easily, why do you need to make such a big gift, don't you lose my little brother's life."
"No, no, no,"
This young man named Tian Yugen waved his hand again and again,
"In this bow, not only for myself, but also for my mother. Because I lost my father since I was a child, there are only two people in the family, my mother and me, who have depended on each other for so many years, if I die here unjustly and unknowingly today, my mother and her old man will definitely not be able to live. Therefore, the two fathers not only saved me alone, but saved the lives of our mother and son! β
"I see,"
Qi Qingyun stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground and said,
"In that case, you should take more care of yourself, shouldn't you, why did you get to such a point?"
"Aren't you forced by that overlord village?"
Tian Yu smiled bitterly and said,
"Who will have a stable life and not go to get into trouble, let alone this kind of murder."
At this moment, it seems that this young man really does not look like a reckless and impulsive person, although he has just passed the terrifying moment between life and death, but in this short moment, he has completely stabilized his emotions, and the tone of his words seems to be very calm.
Zong Jiyuan listened to his words, and saw that he was so calm, his heart couldn't help but move, thinking that he could learn more about other situations about Bawangzhuang, and if possible, he could be regarded as knowing another person who also hated that place, maybe it would be helpful to him in the future, so he asked,
"Brother Tian, what did the Overlord Zhuang do to you? Although the younger brother has also heard that they oppress the people and run rampant in the township, but the specifics are not too clear, can you tell me? β
"You two are my lifesavers, what can't I say?"
Tian Yu smiled and said.
At this time, Qi Qingyun's attention was on the iron chain locked at his ankle, so he pulled him to the side of the road, found a stone for him to sit down, and thought about how to untie this.
Tian Yu lowered his head and looked at the iron lock that was still "clanging", his expression did not look too anxious, but he still remembered Zong Jiyuan's question, and said in a very deep tone,
"I don't know if you've heard of this little Engong, that Bawangzhuang is expanding its power everywhere and swallowing up many villages and towns?"
"Well, I've heard about it, so what's the matter?"
Zong Jiyuan still continued to pretend, not particularly clear about this,
"Could it be that the village where Brother Tian lives has also been included in their sphere of influence, and you don't like to be annexed by them, do you?"
"It's not a question of whether I like it or not,"
After she asked, Tian Yu looked a little crying and laughing, and said,
"In fact, whether it was annexed by someone or not, whether it changed the name of the village or not, it doesn't have much to do with us ordinary people, but since our Tianjiawa returned to Bawangzhuang, we have added a lot of taxes, and in addition to the part handed over to the government every year, we have to pay another part to Bawangzhuang. How much grain can we lay down all year round, and they tossed it like this, and let them take it away out of ten, and the small part left for us is only to drink gruel every day, which is not enough to eat for two months, alasββ"
"So, didn't you go to the government and sue them?"
Qi Qingyun listened to what he said, couldn't help but glance at Zong Jiyuan, and asked again.
This time, Tian Yu even laughed out loud and said,
"Official? We went instead, and when we went to the county to complain, the county said that Bawangzhuang was not under their control, so we went to the state capital yamen to report. But when I got to the state office, it was even more interesting, and before I even entered the door, I had to be scolded with a cane, and then said, This is a matter of civil contract, let us solve it ourselves. Tell me, "Is there still a way for our poor people to live?" So, in a fit of anger, I took the villagers to fight with those people in Bawangzhuang, no, they were finally caught here, if it weren't for the two benevolent fathers to come to the rescue, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost today. β
