"It's just that since the dog official took office, he not only asked us to hand over twice as many seven-colored shells as before, but also asked us to hand over twenty seven-colored beads every year, but the silver given was only thirty percent of the previous one, and the amount he asked for could not be fulfilled.

Because of her son, Aunt Ni is now grateful to Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi and the others, so she naturally knows everything about the questions Xie Yan asked, and she has nothing to say, anyway, they are now mountain bandits, and there is nothing else that can not be said.

Only then did Song Xiaochi really understand what Aunt Ni and Sister-in-law Wang meant by what they said on the night they first went up the mountain.

In fact, they are just ordinary women, although they are not as graceful and subtle as the ladies and ladies in the courtyard of the deep house, but they still have the shame they should have, but since they have become mountain bandits, they don't want to take care of those things anymore, and they have a kind of taste of broken jars.

Just like the man in this cottage, he has to try his best to get rid of the original simplicity and simplicity on his body, and he has a ruthless gangsterism, which seems to be like a real mountain bandit.

Seven-colored shells and colorful beads, Song Xiaochi has heard of them, but he has not seen them, when he was in Kang Yongbo's mansion, there was still a marriage contract between her and Xu Liyao, the second child of the Xu family.

Mrs. Xu once chatted with Mrs. Song in the Song family, and mentioned that Mrs. Tao, the prefect, had a colorful pearl hairpin, and she had the honor to see it once, according to her, the whole house was brilliant because of the colorful pearl.

When Mrs. Xu said at that time, although she tried her best to control her tone and wanted to be more indifferent, Song Xiaochi still saw envy and even jealousy in her eyes.

It is rare to see an official lady like Mrs. Xu, and you can imagine how precious these colorful beads are.

"Colorful beads are the villagers of our entire village, it is difficult to find one a year, we are mainly looking for seven-colored shells, Qizhu Village, there seems to be a secret method to find colorful beads, you can find one in a few months, however, the government requires them to be forty colorful beads a year, for them, this is also a task that cannot be completed at all."

Aunt Ni sighed.

"Then how are the people of Qizhu Village now?" Xie Yan asked.

Aunt Ni shook her head, "Where do you know, we can't hold on anymore, everyone discussed and stomped their feet, and they went up the mountain and fell into the grass, that is, we also have more than a dozen family members in Qicai Village who did not come with us, saying that they want to hold on again, maybe in a few years, change the county order, life will be better, you can't just cut off the back road, and the people who want to come to Qibei Village in Qizhu Village are still struggling to support it." ”

Why is there another Qibei Village? Song Xiaochi was puzzled, but he didn't ask too much.

If you want to come to Qizhu Village, Qibei Village, is the choice of the vast majority of people, such as the villagers of Qicai Village, what they need is not only a ruined boat, but also a brave and resourceful leader, otherwise they will not be able to survive at all.

What's more, under the premise that there are two bandit dens in the Xunlian Mountains and Hujugang and Crawling Wind Village, the villagers of Qicai Village can get a place to settle down and live safely, which should be thanks to the second master of martial arts, Ni Qingyun, the third master of scheming, and Uncle Ni, the wise and shrewd master.

"Your county is Xuan County?" Xie Yan asked.

Sister-in-law Wang on the side couldn't help but be surprised: "How does Gongzi Xie know?" We're in Xuan County. ”

"Xuanxian County is rich in colorful beads and seven-colored shells, which many people know." Xie Yan said.

A lot of people know? Song Xiaochi looked at Xie Yan with some suspicion, although she knew about the colorful beads and seven colored shells, she didn't know where this thing was produced.

Xie Yan's words did not arouse the suspicion of Aunt Ni and Sister-in-law Wang, on the contrary, they were happy that their hometown was known to outsiders, and that pride was overflowing.

"That's not, although there are several other counties in the next county, there are still several other counties, villages and towns can pick colorful beads and seven-color shells, but the seven-color shells and colorful beads in our Xuan County are of the best quality."

Sister-in-law Wang said triumphantly, and when she said this, she suddenly paused, as if she thought of her current situation, and her expression darkened.

"Before this Zhang County Order came, although our life was not considered to be the top of the rich, but every family did not have to worry about eating and drinking, there was no shortage of fish, meat and fish, and there was money for the children to go to school, and the girl could marry and accompany a good makeup, now, alas, ......"

Sister-in-law Wang thought of the kid who interrupted his studies by running around all over the place, and the boy who was about to reach his mother-in-law's house but had no whereabouts, and seemed to be able to marry the daughter of a small mountain bandit in the cottage.

She now prays every day that Zhang Xianling is beheaded, no, beheading is too cheap for him, he has to suffer, all kinds of flesh and skin suffering are enough, and if he is beheaded again, this depression in her heart may be able to dissipate a little.

"The county commander's surname is Zhang, what is his full name, do Aunt Ni and Sister-in-law Wang know?" Xie Yan asked.

Sister-in-law Wang shook her head, "I only know the surname Zhang." ”

But Aunt Ni thought for a while and said, "I heard the old man mention it, it seems to be called Zhang Hemin."

"Zhang Xingmin?" Xie Yan asked.

"Hey...... Yes, yes, it seems to be the name. ”

When Aunt Ni heard this, she nodded hurriedly, and then immediately reacted, "How do you know the name of that dog official?" ”

Aunt Ni looked at Xie Yan suspiciously, and Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't Gongzi Xie know that dog official?"

Sister-in-law Wang's tone was very polite, as if as long as Xie Yan answered "yes", she would be able to turn her face immediately.

Aunt Ni may have been afraid that Xie Yan saved Ni Qingyun, but she could still hold on.

Xie Yan smiled, "I've seen it once, Zhang Xingmin is the leader of Ningkang for ten years, he should be in his thirties at that time, and he looks dignified, I was young at the time, and I followed the elders in the family to watch the new science and technology scholars cross the street on the second floor of the restaurant, he is the eye of the example, and he looks okay, so many big girls threw purses and sachets and handkerchiefs at him, and I took a few more glances at him." ”

Xie Yan briefly talked about the relationship between him and Zhang Xingmin.

"I see, you were a child."

Sister-in-law Wang was relieved now, waved her hand indifferently, thinking of what Xie Yan had just said, she said with some relief: "I heard that those who are admitted to the Jinshi examination, it is best to stay in Yudu as officials, like the champions are all staying in Yudu, and those who can't stay will be assigned to various places, starting with the county order, this Zhang Gou official, who has been an official for ten years, is only a county order, hum, he is so greedy, no wonder he can't be promoted to an official for so many years."
