Chapter 368: Ungrateful

Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows.

This girl is very violent, this is because she knows that she threw this young man out of the carriage and injured him seriously, and she is going to cut herself?

The young man hurriedly reached out to grab the big girl, but he couldn't catch it, he was so anxious that he got up suddenly, but he didn't stand firmly, and he stumbled to the ground, gritting his teeth so that he didn't scream.

The eldest girl was so frightened that she hurriedly threw away the firewood knife, turned around to help him up, the two of them quarreled a few words in a hurry, the eldest girl stomped her feet hatefully, and suddenly rushed back to the house, and after a while took out a burden, grabbed the young man, and dragged him out.

When passing by the firewood room, Wen Zhen heard the eldest girl say, "Go!" Let's go now! Stay here, wait for Ming'er to be tied up again and sent to assassinate that female pervert old lady? ”

The female pervert old lady stabbed Lord Shi and touched her nineteen-year-old youthful pink face through the window. He laughed a little and fell asleep until he was woken up by the noise of the village.

Wen Zhen hurriedly washed up, ate his own dry food, and opened the door to see that there was a chicken flying and a dog jumping.

There was already a large line of gray-clothed men standing in the open space in the village, who did not look like people in the government, but the clothes were uniform, most of them had big shoulders and round waists, and their expressions were hideous. A strong man in the lead, wearing a black skit, commanded the gray-clothed people to kick open the doors of each house and break in.

An old man accompanied the strong man in black, nodding his head and bowing his waist, with a humble expression.

Cai Sang inquired a few words in the past, and came back and whispered to Wen Zhen: "Miss, that old man is a villager elected by the village, the man in black is a tax package, and those who wear gray clothes are all people under the tax package, and they are here to collect spring rent today." ”

It takes a lot of manpower to go to the countryside to collect taxes, and the government is short of manpower, some states and counties will hire local idle people to collect taxes on their behalf, called package tax, these people say that they are idle people in society, and if they don't sound good, they are local ruffians, and they use these people to collect taxes, and there is also a bit of strong demand in it, so it is inevitable that something will happen, Wen Zhen has heard of this before, but he didn't expect to meet it as soon as he arrived in Huzhou.

She didn't move, nodded, and then heard a wail. The door of a house was kicked open, an old woman was dragged out and put on the ground, and a gray-clothed man carried half a bag of grain, and threw it to the ground angrily: "Your family is a Ding girl, and there should be a ration of 180 liters, you can send this half bag to Huazi!" ”

"Official, there is no, there is really no! Last year's harvest was poor, and the winter was just a generation of melons and vegetables, and there was only so much grain left, and the new grain was not yet on it, so it was really gone! ”

The rice bag was not tied tightly, and the old woman was covered with a spill on the ground, and the old woman did not care to get up, and trembled and picked up one by one in the soil, and the black mud was accumulated between her fingernails.

The golden millet poured from her gray hair, and she hurriedly took off her gown, and the undershirt was tattered, and she couldn't hide her shame like a loofah, but she didn't feel it at all.

No one could feel the shame, the door was constantly slammed open, and the wailing kept ringing, except for the widow's family to complete the task, most of the families in the early spring of this uncultivated wasteland, the grain was not enough to pay the spring rent, so the village was full of howls and wolves.

Wen Zhen had been standing quietly on the side, watching like a qualified passerby, Cai Sang beside her bit her lip, and wanted to rush out several times to look at Wen Zhen, but stopped again.

Cai Sang knew what kind of person his master was, and he had been repeatedly warned by His Highness that he would never dare to make trouble for her on his own.

Just seeing countless people falling into the dust, seeing the old man falling, the woman crying, the child frightened, the man kowtowing, and the pleading and crying of the village, this poor girl also trembled all over, staring at Wen Zhen with her eyes.

The jackdaw's face was indifferent, he lowered his head and didn't say a word, and suddenly turned his head to stare at the corner of the wall, where the cold warbler couldn't help but appear.

Wen Zhen still didn't move.

She is not one of these unworldly girls, she is the master of Huzhou, since she stepped into Huzhou, she may face a huge energy field, and every step must be thought again.

Suddenly there was a scream.

A gray-clothed man carried out the family's rice urn, which may be the last bit of food for the family, and a woman stumbled and stumbled beside the rice urn with her arms outstretched, crying while chasing: "Official! Official! Leave this little millet now! My husband has been sick in bed for half a year, and he can't run out of food! ”

There were people chasing after her, shouting, "Sister-in-law, don't chase!" Don't chase! You watch your belly! ”

This voice was so familiar that Wen Zhen couldn't help but look over in the noise on all sides, and heard the voice of the girl she saved last night, and then looked at the woman chasing the rice urn, and her eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

That's a pregnant woman!

The man in gray was constantly blocked by the young woman, and he was irritated, and holding the rice urn was a sweep: "Get out!" ”

Wen Zhen: "Leng Ying! ”

In the next moment, Leng Ying appeared in front of the gray-clothed man, kicked him against the wall with a thud, and held the pregnant woman who was about to fall with one hand.

The rice urn smashed into the gray-clothed man's face accurately, smashing him with a long nosebleed, and he screamed: "Murder! ”

This sound immediately alarmed all the gray-clothed people, and everyone rushed to the courtyard, and Huo Ran, who was chatting with Xiangzuo, stopped, and walked over quickly, and said gloomily: "Yo, Xiaoye Village is fat today, and if you can't pay the rent, you dare to beat people!" ”

"Nothing, nothing! Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong! Xiang Zuo was shocked, "What's going on?" Yes? What's going on! ”

The courtyard has already launched a full martial arts, Leng Ying is from the Tianji Mansion, with the ability to stealth and teleportation, and he is not good at martial arts, but it is still more than enough to deal with these hooligans and ruffians, and when the tax package rushes over, the courtyard has fallen to the ground.

The rest of the villagers also rushed over, shocked when even someone said, "It has nothing to do with us!" ”

"We pay the rent honestly, and we don't mean to be disrespectful to the official!"

"Lao Meng's family resists rent is their business! Don't count us on the head, official! ”

Cai Sang couldn't get angry when he heard it, and said angrily: "They are all villagers from the same village, are they in such a hurry to clear up?" Besides, these tax packages are just ruffians, what kind of official are they! ”

"You know what! Those who can do tax packages, which one is a simple origin! It's either related to the government, or it's related to the army, it's your turn to look down on a girl! ”

Cai Sang snorted hatefully, his face turned red, but he didn't speak again.

Wen Zhen glanced at her and thought to herself that this girl was straight-hearted and her temperament was still stable.

The tax package was about to get angry, and suddenly saw Leng Ying's face clearly, and then saw the girl behind him, his eyes lit up, and said: "Lao Tian, these two girls in this family, how can I see that they were selected by your village before and were sent to the county?" ”

Xiang Zuo was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Meng Pearl, you ran away last night, causing everyone to look for you in the middle of the night, it turns out that you ran back and caused trouble, are you going to harm the whole village!" ”

Wen Zhen frowned and looked at the girl named Meng Zhuzhu, who was rescued and didn't run quickly, because there was a sick brother and a pregnant sister-in-law at home, and he had to go back?

Bao Shui Yin smiled compassionately and waved his hand, "Violent resistance to rent, take it away together!" ”

"Wait."

When they turned around, they saw a girl walking out from behind the crowd.

Bao Tax's eyes brightened, and he elbowed and crutched Xiangzuo: "Lao Tian, when did you have so many beauties in your village?" ”

"Official, this seems to be a passing ......"

"Passerby, ah......" Bao Zuo squinted his eyes at Wen Zhen, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Wen Zhen stepped forward with a smile, turned his palm, and a big silver ingot flashed blindly.

This move was the first to catch people, and Bao Zuo's eyes suddenly changed from lustful light to silver light, subconsciously staring at the silver, and said, "What...... What do you mean? ”

"This official." Wen Zhen said sincerely, "This ingot of silver is to ask you for a favor, please dissipate your anger and listen to me a few words first." ”

When the silver arrived in his palm, Bao Shui checked it with satisfaction, and praised Wen Zhen's acquaintance incomparably, and his chin was raised: "Say it." ”

Wen Zhen was not in a hurry to say, his palm turned over again, and another ingot of silver was shining, "This ingot, compensate the brothers for their medical expenses, the maid is reckless, I don't know the severity of the hand, and I also ask the official Haihan." ”

Bao Shui took it with a smile, pointed his finger at Wen Zhen, and his voice was a little surprised and appreciative: "I want it." The official oilman who has been mixed for many years does not have your acquaintance! ”

Wen Zhen smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." That's right. This Xiaoye Village is the village of my benefactor. When my father passed through this place, he met a strong beam, lost his wealth and was injured, and was rescued by the villagers. Now my father is gone, and on his deathbed he told me to come back and repay the favor. The whole village of Xiaoye Village is my benefactor, I naturally can't let the benefactor be sad and miserable, this idea of spring rent, I have it. ”

The whole village was in an uproar, looking at each other in shock, and each of them asked with their mouths: "You saved it?" ”

Wen Zhen smiled and asked Xiang Zuo and a few old people: "A few old people must still remember it, right?" My father's surname is Sui, he is not tall, he is very fair, and he looks like a scholar? ”

Several old men were stunned for a long time, ahhhh ”

"Your dad was young then, and you're so old in the blink of an eye!"

"Back then, he lived in my house for half a month!"

Wen Zhen turned to tax package: "It's just that there is so much grain for spring rent, and it takes time to raise it." Therefore, please give me three more days, and you will bring someone to collect the grain after three days. As he spoke, another ingot of silver was delivered.

The tax package is used to bribery, and I have never seen such a happy bribe, and the money is collected softly, and even the color heart is collected - such a large amount, but no one is rich, don't cause trouble.

"Okay, the rent payment deadline has not yet arrived, and it doesn't hurt to wait for you for three days, but after three days, you must pay it all! If it is not paid, the whole village will be punished for rent resistance, and it will be sent to hard labor! ”

"Don't worry, there won't be one less!"

"Let's go!"

In the blink of an eye, the mighty man walked away.

Before being surrounded by the whole village, Wen Zhen flexibly walked out of the encirclement, commanded several subordinates, helped the pregnant woman up, and the yard was in order. I exchanged a few words with the people in the village.

Several old men looked at her with puzzled faces, and only after a long time did they ask tentatively: "Girl, is your father ......?"

"I don't have a father."

"Uh......"

"Folks, rest assured. Wait patiently for three days, and I will definitely help you solve this matter. ”

"But girl, what you mean is that you are lying just now, so why do you want to help our ......village since there is nothing for your father to repay your kindness?"

"Because my road is uneven."

"Girl......"

Wen Zhen had already walked into the house quickly, leaving a courtyard of people looking at each other. After a while, people had to retreat suspiciously, and Wen Zhen heard the villager instruct everyone to clean the granary, barn, and rice jar and prepare to load grain.

She smiled and went to see the brother of the Meng family who was sick in bed, but that person was a disease caused by long-term malnutrition, so she just needed to recuperate. Wen Zhen ordered Leng Ying to go to a nearby town to prescribe some tonic medicine and buy some food and vegetables, and asked Leng Ying to buy some items and food suitable for pregnant women.

The woman was about six or seven months pregnant, and although she was frightened, she was fine, and sat beside her husband, her thin face showing a blush of hope, and the man who was sick in bed slowly stroked her hand, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Wen Zhen stood at the threshold, his hands in his sleeves, and watched motionlessly.

Beside her, the jackdaw suddenly glanced at Wen Zhen in surprise.

She didn't know about Wen Zhen's pregnancy, but most people with special abilities had their intuition, and she intuitively felt that her new master didn't seem to be in a good mood at the moment.

This is a very strange thing, not that the new owner will not be in a bad mood, but she is a real smiling tiger, deep and unfathomable, whether she is in a good mood or not, what is she thinking, no one wants to peek from under that mask of eternal sweetness.

But at this moment, she could feel a faint melancholy like light smoke, diffusing in the afternoon sunshine.

Cai Sang lowered his head and slowly picked his fingers.

Wen Zhen trusts her, she knows that her master is pregnant, so at this moment, there is also her share in the faint melancholy.

is also a pregnant woman, although others are difficult and difficult, but they still have husbands to take care of, lovers to be attached to, and husbands to look forward to the birth of the little life in the womb.

But what about her young lady, she has no leisure for a day after pregnancy, running between the tigers and wolves in the mountains and rivers, not to mention taking care of her, not to mention taking care of her, accompanying her to look forward to caring for that little life, she doesn't even dare to tell him.

Are the powerful destined to take on more?

She's just a nineteen-year-old, first-time pregnant girl.

The jackdaw glanced at Cai Sang again, and somehow his heart moved, turned his head to look Wen Zhen up and down, stopped on Wen Zhen's head, and finally landed on Wen Zhen's stomach.

Her heavenly eyes are clear, and she doesn't dare to casually show it to her master, she looked at it at this time, Wen Zhen immediately noticed it, but the jackdaw didn't hide it, took a serious look, and then said, "Congratulations to the master." ”

Wen Zhen nodded and walked out of the house, she knew that this matter could not be concealed from this Tianyantong, when Yan Sui asked her to choose the Tianji Mansion Ability Girl, this was the reason for choosing Tianyantong.

She needs Tianyan to help her check the development of the fetus in her womb. If there is a problem, you can stop the loss in time.

Since Jackdaw chose to pick out the matter herself, it was a sign of allegiance, and she accepted it.

"Is everything alright?"

"I have seen the fetus for the nobles before, and it is no different to look at the master's womb. It's good to look at. ”

Wen Zhen sighed.

I don't know if it's happy or sad.

She turned her head, and the eldest brother of the Meng family in the house was resting his head on his wife's stomach to listen to the fetal movements.

The sunlight is oblique like a curtain, and in a warm white, the corners of their lips are shining.

Wen Zhen also smiled, turned his head, and stepped out of the hospital.

……

That night, Wen Zhen was still resting at the widow's house.

The widow's attitude towards her was not better because she had helped the whole village out of siege today, but worse.

Because the widow's family has prepared enough food, and in order to save trouble, it will be the first to be handed over today. As a result, Wen Zhen jumped out and took over the task of the others, and the widow felt that she had suffered a loss, and when she thought of the many nights she had survived for these sacks of grain, she was angry and fell all night.

Another reason why the widow is angry is that the big girl ran away, and did not come back for a day and a night, the widow held a broom and scolded outside the yard for a night, the content is rich and wonderful, the slang is varied, the coarse language is fragrant and direct, the strength is so fierce and powerful, Wen Zhen is breathtaking, and deeply regrets that the starling who is good at dialect stayed in Liushan, otherwise he can become a lifelong confidant with the widow.

It's just that it's too noisy, so the next day, when Xiangsa invited her to live in her own tiled house, she agreed.

On the way to move, Xiang Zuo asked her sideways when the grain would arrive and how much? Wen Zhen smiled but did not answer.

That night, I received a rich meal, and I lived in a clean room with a new futon with black tiles and white walls, and one room was the size of a widow's yard.

During the meal, the villagers came to visit the door one after another, and everyone asked again what kind of food would be sent, and whether the young men from the village needed to pick it up? Wen Zhen diverted the topic again. He also asked the village guys if they would like to go out of the village to work. Xiangzuo is hard to leave the country, and the big guys don't want to go out.

That night, Wen Zhenhou was warmed and lay down soundly. And took down Wen Dandan, because the jackdaw said that Wen Dan Dan probably absorbed too much poison, and the black gas in the body became more and more intense, Wen Zhen was pregnant, and wore it close to his body all day long, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to the body.

Wen Dandan no longer stays on Wen Zhen now, and often wanders around, but he usually doesn't leave Wen Zhen's side too far.

Wen Zhen was sleeping, and everyone was having a meeting in another old villager's house.

"It's the second night, why hasn't there been any movement?"

"How can it be so fast? It takes time to raise all the money, otherwise it will take three days for people to do it. ”

"What if it doesn't come in three days? Isn't that going to kill us? ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, people don't need to lie to us, the three ingots of silver have been given away, what's the benefit of lying to us?"

"Hey, I have a question, you said she didn't have to lie to us, so why did she make up a lie to repay the favor? I've asked, but our village has never saved such a person! ”

"But what's the benefit of her lying to us like that?"

"It's not certain, the people outside are cunning, and besides, the people around her are there, and I haven't seen who she arranged to go out to collect food......"

"Yes, yes, yes, if she colludes with the tax package and wants to trap us to resist rent, then we can confiscate all our family property and pull all the strong men to do hard labor......"

There was silence in the room.

After a while, someone coughed in disguise and said, "It's only the second day, guess what!" Go to sleep! When the three days are up, you won't know! ”

There was another silence, and after a few moments, the sound of bench movement and footsteps shuffled, and the crowd dispersed.

Early in the morning of the third day, people came to ask Wen Zhen, and Wen Zhen smiled and played Tai Chi, so that everyone could calm down, and the matter would definitely be solved.

Some of the young men ran out of the village over and over again to look at it, as if they were expecting to see a large line of grain trucks approaching on the dirt road.

The face of the townsman who took her in was a little unsightly, and his eyes swept over a lot of entourage beside her, and he saw that she was a liar.

Wen Zhen didn't bother to explain. She was waiting for Jiang Xin to come over, she had already sent her own guards to pick him up a few days ago, and she was supposed to arrive. Jiang Xin has always been upright, and he must see the evidence with his own eyes before he can report back to the court. The reason why I had to wait for three days was so that when Jiang Xin arrived, it was just in time for the tax to be paid, and the human and material evidence was complete.

When Jiang Xin arrived, her guards also arrived, and she could safely wipe out all the tax packages.

In the evening, Xiang Zuo asked again, Wen Zhen has been a little lazy these days, he is tired of asking, and his face is a little unsightly, Xiang Zuo was startled, and hurriedly made amends, and killed chickens and sheep to renovate a table of good dishes to apologize, and also gave Wen Zhen wine, Wen Zhen naturally refused.

She has a bad appetite after pregnancy, her mouth is often bitter and pantothenic, and she doesn't like to smell the smell of oil smoke, except when she is by Yan Sui's side, she is too lazy to go down to the kitchen, and when she meets her appetite, she eats two pieces of food, and if she doesn't fit, she just makes do with it.

I slept this night, but I didn't feel very comfortable, sticky, dull, and restrained, as if I was locked in a stuffy jar, and the people around me came and went sneakily, and there were whispering voices like rats, and people were irritable when they heard it.

She opened her eyes.

Then I found that it was bright and bright.

And then I found out that I was really tied up! Mobile phone users please browse and read, and a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
