Mei Xiaoren pondered secretly.

Bachelor's degree

That is the celebrity around His Majesty, who made a special trip to give advice and solve problems for His Majesty, and by the way, think about the good policy of governing the country, so that the staff of the scholar should also be well-informed and knowledgeable.

She refused to give grain and grass because she acted on her emotions, but she vaguely remembered that the law said that she would pay grain to the state government on time, and there was no private collection of military rations, but she didn't know what the impact would be.

It is rare to have such an "officialdom Bai Xiaosheng" in front of him, so he naturally has to inquire.

"Lord Chu"

As soon as these words floated out of her mouth, she looked up and saw that Chu Yu's eyes were not very happy, as if she didn't like her to call her so.

Mei Xiao paused and reluctantly changed her words: "Brother Chu Yu, I have something to ask. ”

Chu Yu nodded and motioned for her.

"Brother Chu Yu also saw it, is it appropriate for me to do that?"

"The Matter of Withholding Military Rations"

The word "Kekou" came into Mei Xiaoren's ears, and she was stunned for a moment, because the meaning behind these two words is not very good, and it is easy to be involved with guilt.

Chu Yu said: "The army's grain and grass have always been regularly allocated by the military department from the armament granary according to the strength of the army, but it can also be collected from the county government of each county. ”

Mei Xiaoren "chuckled" in her heart, saying that it was her duty to give food

She sighed comfortingly: "That's it, anyway, the ones who should be offended and the ones who shouldn't be offended have been offended before, and I don't care about such a mistake." ”

Chu Yu drank tea with heavy eyes and said slowly: "I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Mei Xiaoren was in a fog, and he also reached out and picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, drinking the tea slowly, but his eyes looked at Chu Yu, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"The county government will hand over grain and grass every month, and it is unreasonable to collect grain from the county government, unless the war is urgent, and the military department must sign a document to collect grain from the county government."

Mei Xiaoren's breath was suddenly relieved, and he couldn't help but grab the folding fan and knock it on the stone table, "That's the reason, they eat and drink nonsense, and after eating the food given by the military department, they come to take care of the people, where is there such a cheap thing?"

"Adults have been married to them"

"Oh, don't mention it." Mei Xiaoren sighed again, and she panicked when she talked about that incident. A bandit, a group of arrogant soldiers, even if she is still trapped in a dead end, with no future in sight.

She picked up the teapot and poured tea for Chu Yu, "It's still Brother Chu Yu's official luck, he is in Shangjing, there are no villains in places like Wenhua Palace, and there are no such moths." ”

"No matter which yamen's tea, it has its own unpleasant taste." Chu Yu looked at the teacup in his hand and said lightly.

In fact, Mei Xiaoren could see that Chu Yu was not a Beijing official who was promoted from a small official in Tsing Yi, he was only five years older than her, and he had already served in Beijing.

This is someone else's special experience, she can't envy it, she can only climb up step by step on her own.

The sunset has already filled the sky, and it is time for Chu Yu to set off.

Mei Xiaoren sent Chu Yu out of the mansion and said goodbye: "Brother Chu Yu take care all the way, there will be a period later." ”

"There will be a date later." After Chu Yu returned the salute, he boarded the carriage.

Mei Xiaoren watched Chu Yu's carriage and horses go away, and only then did he let out a long sigh and envy until he couldn't see it.

When and when will she be able to enter Beijing?

Not to mention going to Beijing, now is to let her go to Lao Li to grind ink for Lao Li, she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.

On the outskirts of Yunxian County, the sunset

The light cast through the dilapidated roof faintly illuminated the damp wilderness hut and the rich young master who was tied to a pillar.

The black cloth in front of him was revealed, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was frightened and stupid, because in front of him stood a group of fierce bandits

"Brothers, uncles, you have something to discuss, what is this for?"

Bandit Jia snorted: "Who the hell grandma wants to discuss with you, I heard that you are the young master of the Chu family, it is really not easy to tie you up"

When Chu Zifeng heard that they were still named, he was even more stunned.

Isn't it obvious that the bandits are squatting near his house to arrest him?

No wonder he wandered around for a few days, and as soon as he returned to Yunxian today, he was knocked on a stuffy stick and tied here.

He said with a bitter face: "Masters, we have no grievances and no enemies, why are you kidnapping me?"

Bandit B said: "Of course I kidnapped you for money, I heard that your family is quite rich."

"The brothers just came out of prison, they are hungry, Young Master Chu is not the landlord" Bandit A pondered for a while, but he didn't remember the last two words, and said, "The landlord or something, please give us a full meal and let us bring some silver to go."

Chu Zifeng smiled hippiely, shrunk his head and said, "It's such a coincidence that I just came out of prison and didn't eat."

The bandit picked up the big knife and slashed at the pillar, "You grandma's"

Chu Zifeng looked up tremblingly, and saw that the knife had been slaughtered into the wood above his head, and if it was a little lower, it would be his head

He was completely frightened, his legs trembled, and his voice trembled: "Big brother, my family really has no money, and I have lost all my family property over the years." Otherwise, you will let me go back for a while, and when I marry my daughter-in-law, I will definitely honor my lords."

"Roll the calf" bandit armor pulled out the knife vigorously and rubbed it on Chu Zifeng's face with the knife surface, "If you don't give it, we have to go to the door to get it." ”

"Big brother, there are officials in the county, I was arrested by them a few days ago, how dangerous it is for big brothers to go"

Bandit B snorted: "Heh, how can a few officials take us, the dog official in Qiushui County arrested us last time, how about it, the brothers haven't come out well"

"Qiushui County" Chu Zifeng frowned, and when he remembered the words he had written a few days ago, he suddenly hated his teeth and spit on the ground, "Phew, that's really a dog official."

He raised his head and begged: "Big brother, let me go for the sake of us all hating that dog official."

"Give the silver obediently, and the brothers will let you go, if you don't give it, we have to go into the city management and ask for it." Bandit A held the knife and said slowly, "The knife doesn't have eyes, if it hurts your little daughter-in-law, as well as your seven aunts and eight aunts or something, don't call it." ”

Chu Zifeng knew that the bandits only knew silver, but the old man could still squeeze out the silver somewhere, not to mention that these were bandits, and they had a very big heart, I was afraid that the whole family would not be able to feed them if he sold him.

But if he doesn't give the money, his life hangs in the balance

Why don't you give it a little sweetness

Chu Zifeng quickly thought about what other valuable things were at home, but the valuable things were almost stolen out by him, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be short of money now, so tight that he even started the idea of the tomb.

Chu Zifeng was stunned, and his heart was overjoyed

yes, isn't that place just a little gold mountain?

He didn't let him move, he could take this group of bandits with him, not to mention sharing the spoils, even picking up leaks while they were working was enough for him to spend a while.

Doesn't it mean that a jade brick on the grave is enough for a person to eat for half a lifetime, even if he picks up a missing corner.
