Coming out of Zhou Gui's house, the two of them investigated around Qingzi Lane again, this Qingzi Lane is really dilapidated, and the air seems to be filled with a smell of decay and decay.

Following this vague taste, the two really found a place where the beggars lived.

This is the largest mansion in Qingzi Lane, and the door plaque is gone, but Wen Zhesang vaguely remembers that the former residence of Xiucai who died under the knife of the mountain bandit in Qingzi Lane is this mansion.

In the blue sky and white day, there were several people lying in the mansion, both men and women, all of them in ragged clothes and unkempt. When they saw Wen Zhesang and Xie Yikou, two brightly dressed people with no vicissitudes of life, their eyes almost lit up, as if they had seen a fat sheep.

"Ouch, noble! Noble people, give some money! ”

"I beg the noble man to do well, and to do well......"

"Dog, don't kowtow to the nobleman yet!"

The beggars gathered in front of Wen Zhesang and the others, Wen Zhesang frowned and avoided two steps back, and then Xie Yikou stepped forward and protected her tightly.

"This is the county magistrate, they all speak well, and they are all talking nonsense." Xie Yikou's cold face was still very deceptive, at least those beggars didn't dare to entangle themselves indiscriminately. They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that the famous county order would appear in such a small place.

But they finally quieted down.

Wen Zhesang only then had time to take a good look at them, although these people were dressed in dirty clothes, seeing them lying on the ground regardless of them, they didn't care about any decency. But these people clearly have hands and feet, and they are in good health, and there are even a few young adults, who should be looking for a job to live in the past, but they are here.

Wen Zhesang didn't know what mood to face these people, but she still had to speak, "Qingfeng County is very different now, everything is waiting to be rebuilt, as long as you are willing to work, you don't have to beg for a living." ”

The beggars didn't seem to expect her to say such a thing, and the crowd looked at each other, and no one dared to make a bird. However, the adults have a plan, but the children are straightforward, and the seven or eight-year-old boy who was called "dog" by the woman said: "You are an official, and A-Niang said that those who are officials are all bad things!" They took over my fields and asked my father to work for them for nothing, without paying them wages or food...... It's worse than a beggar! ”

The child's voice should have been crisp, but the dog's voice was hoarse, as if he had been injured in some way. Without waiting for Wen Zhesang to speak, the dog mother hugged the dog and said cowardly: "Adults and adults are forgiving, children are unscrupulous, children don't know anything, adults must not take his words to heart." ”

Of course, Wen Zhesang would not care about a child, and most of what this child said was the truth.

She thought for a moment and asked a different question, "Do you know that I have returned the fields in the northern suburbs to the people?" ”

Beggars are all over the streets and alleys, and they are often the most well-informed, Wen Zhesang has this question, and sure enough, he also saw them nodding.

"But then I found out that some of the fields had not been claimed, so I wondered if these people had left Qingfeng County, or if some of them were no longer alive," she added. ”

"Your Excellency...... What is the meaning? Seeing that Wen Zhesang had been speaking softly, the dog mother gradually felt at ease, "Do you think that some of us beggars may have been the owners of the fields in the northern suburbs?" ”

Wen Zhesang was noncommittal.

The dog girl sobbed twice and understood what she meant, "It's gone, it's long gone." Our group of people originally lived near the northern suburbs, and later ...... Later, the field was gone, and the dog and his father worked for the Xie family and died of exhaustion. A lot of people died, a lot of people. Those who survived no longer dared to approach the northern suburbs, there was no land, no place to live, go to work for the rich, and a few more died of exhaustion! You say, what can you do without being a beggar? ”

What is in the past, in those pasts, there is clearly blood. The dog clumsily wiped his mother's tears, and several of the beggars also secretly wiped their tears. The men had red eyes, but there was nothing they could do.

"If I say ......," Wen Zhisang said softly, "you don't have to be a beggar in the future, you can still be fed, clothed, and clothed, and you will have no worries about food and clothing, will you still choose the life you have now?" ”

"Of course not!" A man's eyes were red, "Who wants to be a beggar if it weren't for the sake of living?" If so、If it is an adult, it can really make us ...... We will do whatever adults want us to do! ”

Several others did the same.

Wen Zhesang nodded with satisfaction, these people still have hope for life, which is good. "I am planning to prepare a charity hall to take in the infirm, sick and disabled without people. Of course, those who do not work are not allowed to eat. There is no need to rebuild the temple, just repair the house. ”

The beggars were stunned when they heard this, but they understood anyway - they don't have to live in secret!

"First things first, then." Wen Zhesang's gaze slowly crossed everyone's faces, "Someone has reported that the beggars in Qingzi Lane are rampant, stealing, robbing and robbing. Who did these things? "Even a child as young as Xiao Zhen didn't let go, which shows how hateful the beggars are.

"My lord, that's—that's not what we did." The dog girl was a little bolder, "It's all Ma San's group!" ”

At this time, Wen Zhesang learned the whole truth.

It turned out that since Wen Zhesang took over the county government and replaced all the people in the yamen with newcomers, Ma San's group of idle second-rate people have all "lost their jobs", have no financial resources, and are all people who spend money lavishly. They first lost all their money, and then they were not satisfied, so they gathered a group of beggars to steal and rob everywhere. It's just that they do it secretly, and the objects they do are soft persimmons, and they don't dare to say anything at the slightest threat.

Qingzi Lane is a place where beggars are entrenched, and naturally, the people near Qingzi Lane have become meat in their eyes. Xiao Zhen was bullied several times, until that time the group of beggars were taught a lesson by Wen Zhi, and then they settled down a little.

After a few days like this, they realized that the limelight had passed, and they began to do bad things again, and their evil deeds accumulated into a lot, until they were reacted to by the yamen.

Moreover, the dog mother also told Wen Zhesang that they lived here with the group of beggars gathered by Ma Sanjiao, and the well water did not interfere with the river water on weekdays, but there were also some frictions.

"Those people are all extremely vicious, the adults came by chance today, fortunately I didn't meet them, otherwise ......" The dog lady was sighing, and she heard something outside.

"Hahaha, I was so lucky today, I got two meat buns from Old Man Zhao!"

"Big brother is just amazing, buddy hasn't tasted meat for a long time!"

"That's it, big brother, my brothers are not just credits but also hard work, can you give us a smell when you eat for a while!"

"Smell! Hahaha smell it! Fragrant! ”

The voice gradually approached, and the dog's face changed suddenly, "My lord, my lord, you quickly hide, these people don't recognize people when they are bastards!" After a while, he asked Wang Shuigen to go to the yamen to move the rescue soldiers...... Why did you only bring one catcher! ”

Regardless of whether she thought of the benefits she could get or not, the anxiety of the dog at this time was sincere.

Xie Yikou couldn't stand it anymore, and patted the saber on his waist to reassure them, "Okay, okay, isn't it just a few little minions, look at it scares you." ”

The dog girl closed her mouth, and a few people outside finally walked in, and they saw Wen Zhisang with a gentle face and a smile on his lips at a glance. The eyes of several people lit up, and before the words of teasing could be spoken, they heard a sound of "poof", Xie Yikou unsheathed his sword, and smiled like an evil god, "Look again, I will gouge out your eyes." ”

Looking at his posture, no one thought he was joking.

The beggars who had just come in swallowed their saliva unconsciously and looked away as if to hide it.

"Who are you? Do you know, do you know whose territory this is? "The one who spoke was the one who was called the eldest brother, he was five big and three thick, but in fact he only had brute strength, and his brain was very weak.

"Who's?" Xie Yikou cocked his thumb and turned a corner to point at Wen Zhisang beside him, "Lord County." When you see the county magistrate, don't you say hello? ”

This, this, this...... This is really a fox and a fake tiger!

Several beggars were dumbfounded, almost mad in their hearts. You're not a county magistrate, what are you doing!

"County order, woman, this is what Third Brother Ma said?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, it looks like it's more beautiful than those sisters."

"Fuck off! Is this the time to say that! Third Brother Ma said, if you meet this person, you will block her first! ”

muttered quietly for a while, "big brother" Wu Beifa was pushed out, he looked at Xie Yikou vigilantly, and the bastard words walked around his mouth, and finally said it.

"I've long heard that the new county order is a lady, and when I look at it today, it's true! Lady, why don't you stay in the boudoir well, but you have to show your face? ”

Wen Zhisang didn't talk.

Xie Yikou suddenly felt a sullen fire in his heart, and he sneered, "Since you can't manage your mouth full of dog teeth, I'll pull it out for you." ”

He suddenly attacked, and in a moment he beat some beggars to beg grandpa to sue grandma.

The dog mother and a few other people were dumbfounded, but they didn't forget to cover the dog's eyes. This is really a real person who doesn't show her face, and she is still worried that this person who lacks the ability to catch fast will be beaten by those bastards who are treated by Wu.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Zhi brought the servants over and tied up the weeping beggars back to the yamen. It's just that Wen Zhi suddenly stopped in front of a big man, just because this person was beaten too badly. Not to mention the bruises on his face, he was still full of blood, Wen Zhi's ears were sensitive, and he vaguely heard a few crying beggars saying something "Big brother's teeth have really been pulled out".

On the other side, Xie Yikou stood next to Wen Zhesang, holding his hands behind his back, hiding his ruthlessness.

The beggars were tied up one by one, and Wen Zhesang discussed some matters in Shantang with the dog and the others. In the end, she looked at Xie Yikou with complicated eyes, and only threw a handkerchief to him for a long time, "Don't hide it, I've seen it a long time ago." ”

Xie Yikou grinned and put away the veil, thinking about hiding it privately, even if the adults asked for him, he wouldn't give it.
