Chapter 12: Civil Suffering

Xu Mo changed into white clothes, and walked with Dai Duyu like two carefree sons who had stepped into the mortal world.

Xu Mo took Dai Duyu to the money bank, this money bank is located at the end of the street, and the imposing gate makes people think that the financial resources of this money bank should not be underestimated.

There were two big men standing at the door, and when they entered, a small guy hurriedly asked, "Do you need to save money or withdraw money?" ”

"Withdraw money." Xu Mo said, and handed a small token to the little guy.

"How much do you need?" The little guy is even more. Asked politely.

"One thousand taels."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Dai Duyu sat down and thought in his heart, this Xu Mo is right, rich, it seems that he has to hug his thighs well. As for who he is...... Find a time to investigate, or you won't know if you've been sold.

"Girl, sit down first and have a sip of tea." Xu Mo said.

"Hmm."

"I wonder where the girl is going to take the money?"

"Find me a shop."

"Shop?"

"Yes, it's the more remote, cheaper one."

"This has to go to the south of the city, after all, the shops here are also expensive."

"Okay, then you can take me there."

"Hmm."

"Two guest officers, here are ten silver tickets."

Dai Duyu opened it, counted it, the number was right, and glanced at Xu Mo again, Xu Mo nodded, and Dai Duyu put the silver ticket in his clothes.

"Thank you." Dai Duyu pulled Xu Mo and left.

"Walk slowly, two." The little guy said politely.

"Xu Mo, do you say that women in Jiangnan like rouge?"

"The average noble woman smears some peach blossom powder or snow cream." Xu Mo pondered for a while before speaking. I don't know much about these women.

Dai Duyu also nodded, chatted with Xu Mo without a word, and walked towards Nancheng.

If she knew that Leng Aohan also lived in Nancheng, she wouldn't go if she was killed, so she didn't have to think about it, he would definitely come to make trouble.

"Help, two sons, help us." A woman suddenly pounced on her and said.

Dai Duyu looked at Xu Mo, and Xu Mo also shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on.

"This lady, what's wrong." Dai Duyu asked calmly.

"Childe, my son was arrested by the government and has to pay a ransom of fifty taels, Childe, I am also desperate, please help me." The woman said sadly.

"Then why was he arrested?" Dai Duyu is not the kind of person who can't be saved when he sees death, but he won't act rashly before he has figured out the situation.

"Childe, yesterday the people from the government came to collect taxes, and my son had a few conflicts with the government yesterday and was arrested. It's really wrong......"

"Collect taxes?" Dai Duyu did hear that taxes were collected in ancient times, but he didn't expect to run into corrupt officials as soon as he came, so if he opened his own shop, would he also be oppressed by corrupt officials?

"Childe, I'm also old, but since this corrupt official came, my family's grain has been expropriated, and my son has come to this street to work in the grocery store and make up for the family."

The woman sobbed a few times, and then said, "Who knew that the shopkeeper of the grocery store said that the business was not good and was going to sublet, so he quit my son, and my family has a little income, and now I can't afford to pay taxes." ”

Dai Duyu also hates those corrupt officials the most, opening his mouth is the national economy and people's livelihood, but as soon as he turns around, he oppresses the people.

"Auntie, you said that the store was subleased?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, girl, don't look at the richness of Jiangnan, but there are many corrupt officials. Look at the sons and ladies of the old man's family, which one of them doesn't wear gold and silver, but it hurts us little people. ”

The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and her eyes darkened, and she fainted.

Dai Duyu immediately reflected, and Xu Mo carried her to a small medical hall, probably because the location is relatively remote, there are not many people here, and there is only one old man in this medical hall.

When they saw Dai Duyu and Xu Mo, they immediately asked them to carry people inside. While pinching people, he observed the pupils of his wife.

After a while, he said to Dai Duyu and them, "Be angry, try not to make her angry in the future, it's easy to fall ill at this age." ”

Dai Duyu hurriedly explained to the old man, the old man felt that he was wrong and his face was a little unbearable, he didn't expect these two sons to be so kind-hearted.

"It's just an old and bad man, please forgive me."

"It's not in the way, but I don't know if this government is really so greedy."

"Alas, that official mansion pays tribute to the court every year countless silk and satin, and the court has always thought that this rich place is safe, but who knows the hardships of the common people, and how much of the grain in those acres of fertile land is in their own hands."

Dai Duyu's heart tightened, these corrupt officials, I can't wait to get rid of them.

However, I can't always go head-to-head with them, so it's not the same as an egg hitting a stone, and after quickly calming down, I have some ideas.

"Doctor, this lady botheres you to take care of it, and our brothers will go back as soon as we go." Dai Duyu said.

"Okay, Childe, you get busy first."

"Xu Mo, let's go."

Xu Mo didn't know what Dai Duyu was going to do, so he just followed.

"Girl, where are we going?"

"Go to the government!"

"The government has always ignored these, so it's better for the girl not to rush forward." Xu Mo couldn't help but persuade her.

"Who said I went to report to the official, I just went to save people."

"The girl knows someone from the government?"

"I don't know."

Xu Mo silently stopped talking, he couldn't figure out this woman anymore, as long as she was not in danger.

In front of the official house, a handsome man was beating a drum to plead his grievances, and the other was standing on the side, and it didn't take long for people to gather outside the door.

"These two sons are drumming, no one dares to come for a long time."

"That's right, since Li Jiu died last time, alas......"

"Then these two sons are also pitiful, the faint official inside doesn't know how to fix them."

"No, I have to persuade them, I can't let these two sons be slandered in vain." A bearded uncle said hurriedly.

An old man next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Huang Shun, you can't do this, you will hurt them." ”

"Isn't it possible to let these two sons go to their deaths?"

"Alas, but you can't go up like this, go to the market and pull some people, if there are many people, that corrupt official will also be restrained."

When Huang Shun heard it, it made sense, and he roared and went to a crowded place.

Dai Duyu also heard some of the following conversations, this ancient people are really warm-hearted!

"What people!" The two red-clad catchers asked.

"I want to redress my grievances!" Dai Duyu said loudly.

"Do you know what kind of place this is, let's go, don't get in the way of official business." Catch the chase and drive away.

"I'm going to redress my grievances!" Dai Duyu emphasized again.

"Childe, go back quickly." A woman whispered.

Dai Duyu gave her a reassuring look, and continued to beat the drum, and the crowd below couldn't help but live.

There are those who admire Dai Duyu, and there are also those who say that Dai Duyu will be sent to death.

"Master, there are people beating drums outside to plead their grievances." A housekeeper said.

"Who is so arrogant and drove away?"

"Master, there are two sons outside, Liu Si and Liu Wu have already gone out, but those two are not interesting! There are a lot of people outside. ”

"Such a diao, go and arrest people for me." The county lord said angrily.

The housekeeper got the order, and immediately walked outside the yamen, squeezed through the crowd, grabbed the two catchers and said, "The county master has an order, bring people in." ”

The two catchers seemed to be relieved, "Let's go, the county master has allowed you to enter." ”

Dai Duyu pulled Xu Mo's sleeve, and the two walked in, the back was more free and easy, as if they had come to the yamen to sit.

Everyone saw that these two jade-like sons went in, and they also went in to see the excitement.

The corners of Dai Duyu's mouth twitched, how could she feel like she was going to fight in a group......

Walked to this legendary court, it is indeed quite domineering, there is a plaque on it, written "clear inspection" four big characters, elegant block letters give people a feeling of strict self-discipline.

It's a pity that there is a big corrupt official sitting below!

"Who's in the hall!?" The corrupt official picked up and slapped the table.

Dai Duyu bowed and said slowly, "My lord, do you remember a man who was grabbed by you in the yamen a few days ago. ”

The corrupt official's face is dark, he has arrested so many people, where do you remember so much. This little white face is clearly looking for ballast.

"Bold, all the criminals arrested by this official are criminals!"

"Criminals?"

"You are guilty of disturbing the court!" The corrupt official didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he set up a crime for Dai Duyu.

"My lord, I haven't finished speaking, so why are you in a hurry to convict me." Dai Duyu said painlessly.

"That's it, this corrupt official!"

"Ahh

A few of the people in the crowd below watched the excitement, and after a while, the court became lively again.

The corrupt officials didn't expect these two men to be so difficult, and they also brought a group of Diao people.

"Then you say, who are you going to sue?" The corrupt official said disdainfully.

"What's the name of this corrupt official?" Dai Duyu asked in a whisper to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo also twitched the corners of his mouth and said. "Liu Xiu."

"I'm going to sue Liu Xiu!" Dai Duyu said loudly.

When the corrupt official above heard that someone was going to sue him, he was very angry, and the crowd below was also boiling, this boy is so powerful, even this corrupt official dares to offend, amazing!

"Come on, put these two Diao people in prison!" The corrupt official said angrily.

Seeing that Liu Si and Liu Wu were about to come up, Dai Duyu said coldly, "Liu Xiu, are you trying to kill people?" ”

"Kill people? You slander the officials of the imperial court, and this day is enough to imprison you for several years. ”

"So?" Dai Duyu pondered.

"I'm afraid, come on, pull down!"

"Slow down, I'm not done yet."
