149, the farmer's mother raised eight sons 73

Although thieves like to shout that thieves catch thieves, they will not be stupid enough to send themselves to the official mansion, after all, if they really find out, they will be in prison, as soon as these words came out, they immediately dispelled the suspicions of some villagers, and felt that Ye Bing might really be innocent, and they all agreed with what she said and asked the lieutenant to take them to the county town to report to the officials, and ask the master Qingtian to call the shots for them, catch the thief, and find the food, a village is about 30 households, more than 200 people, if they all starve to death, it will affect the performance of these officials.

All the villagers thought was that they simply wanted to get back the food and get through the autumn harvest safely, but the chief thought more and farther, and even involved his own rights and interests.

Although the officers and soldiers repeatedly arrested the strong men, but after the consent of the above, it stands to reason that the people must not disobey, but in order to save his son and grandson, he had to bewitch the whole village to go into the mountains to escape the disaster, although this has been illegal, but since ancient times there is a saying that the law does not blame the public, and his family violates the government to investigate, but it is impossible for a village to kill a group in cold blood.

Now that he finally escaped, but he had to go to the official mansion to report to the official, wouldn't he tell the Qingtian Lord that their Zhujia Village openly opposed the imperial court and refused to go to the front line to defend their home and country, and then not only could they not catch the thief and could not find food, but they would also be collectively detained.

"Nope." The villagers of Zhujia Village were confused, but the lieutenant would not follow them to be confused, and in order to save his life, he did not hesitate to refuse the proposal to report to the official.

"Captain, why can't you!" Now that everyone is in a bad mood after losing food, naturally this attitude has begun to be obviously irritable, and they are going to starve to death anyway, and now they don't care about the identity issue.

"You are embarrassed to ask why not, do you want to tell Lord Qingtian when you go to the government now, are you the food you lost to avoid the officers and soldiers catching Ding!" The Li Chang's family not only lost the grain, but also the silver hidden in the wall was also pried away, and he has been holding back and not losing his temper, and now seeing that the villagers' attitude towards him is also angry, what is directly bloody is a roar.

Because of the loss of food, they have neglected the matter of the officers and soldiers catching the strong men and them escaping, and now everyone is very heavy when they mention it again.

As if thinking of something possibility, Ye Bing raised his eyes and looked at the lieutenant chief and said the guess in his heart, "Lieutenant chief, look, did those officers and soldiers snatch our food?" ”

In fact, Li Chang has long thought of this possibility, but if the truth is said, it means that it is really desperate, and there is no way to get everyone's food back, so now that the autumn harvest is still early, how can everyone live without food.

He sighed deeply, and glanced at Ye Bing helplessly, he really hoped that she would take everyone's food, and then he could find it back directly.

The chief's silence is also a kind of acquiescence, the villagers are unwilling to accept it, if this is really the case, they can't report to the official, and they won't return the food, so what will they do in the future, starve to death?

"God, you're going to drive us people to a dead end!" There was an eight-foot peasant man who collapsed directly, squatting on the ground without an image and crying, his family has a total of 12 people, how to live without food, how to have money and not a few copper plates, every year the grain tax is left to eat part, and the rest can not sell much copper plate at all.

Since they can't find the government or the officers and soldiers, they can only find Ye Bing, who is suspected in front of them, to ask for food, "Auntie, you can do it and return our family's food to our family, otherwise our family will starve to death." ”

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, grabbed the only life-saving grass and asked for food, "Old Zhu, please have mercy on us and return the food to us." ”
