Fan Yaochen, as before, didn't reply much, only nodded from time to time.

He didn't tell Fan Jiangshi that the noodles had been soaked in water for a long time, and they were already a little swollen, and they were not very delicious in their mouths, nor did they say that the toppings had been warm in hot water, and after receiving the water, they tasted a little salty.

Fan Jiang sat on the side and chattered while watching him eat, and from time to time he told him to eat more slowly.

Fan Yaochen ate very quickly, and was stared at by his old wife, so he had to chew twice more in his mouth for each bite.

The more you chew, the saltier it gets.

The more you chew, the more unpalatable it becomes.

After eating a bowl of pulp vermicelli, Fan Jiang took matters into his own hands and wanted to add two dishes to him, but before he could get the pulp vermicelli out, a porter came in and could reply.

- It turned out that the staff from the original government had returned.

Fan Yaochen couldn't care about eating anymore, so he quickly stood up and said to Fan Jiang: "I'm full, don't eat, you go and see Zhenniang." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care anymore, and hurriedly went to the study.

The first to come back was the staff who went to Zhangjiazhuang, who was closest to him, and when the other party entered the door, he hurriedly told him what he had heard.

"It is true that dozens of people went to the Yamen, but they were all in the villages and streets, and they went to discuss the quota with the officials, and there were many people in the countryside who had great opinions and complaints about the levy and conscription, but it was not as rumored in the capital."

"I heard that the yamen in various places are not very appropriate, and those who have taken it several times this year have now taken it again and again, and in three or four months, the family has been apportioned three times, and many people are very dissatisfied."

Fan Yaochen nodded when he heard this.

And so it was.

The Chinese book spread the numbers, and the yamen in various places naturally could only follow it, and sometimes it was common to act excessively. He always knew it, and he specially pursued the order later, and this time he was not allowed to recruit servants, and he was not allowed to do excessive methods.

Although there is nothing possible with this proclamation, after all, it is unlikely that ordinary officials will be able to mobilize the people without forcibly recruiting them. However, as long as the notice is found, it can be clarified to some extent that the excesses of the Yamen below are not actually from their own indications.

With one, there are two.

Slowly, the staff and servants who went to Pingxiang, Ligu and other places also came back one after another.

When someone came back, Fan Yaochen crossed out the corresponding name of that place with a cinnabar pen on the page.

Although there were only three or four people who returned that night, Fan Yaochen's heart became more and more numerous.

He had been uneasy that there was really a disturbance below, and now it sounded like some noise, but it was not out of control.

That Wu Yinai relied on the ground and the road was far away, and it was difficult for him to confirm it for a while, so he was exaggerating here.

Fan Yaochen asked a few more questions, and finally gradually put a heart back into his stomach, seeing that it was getting late, he was about to go back to the bedroom to rest, but he could hear the sound of running outside.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door.

"When?" Fan Yaochen asked.

The answer was the old man who took care of the study, and said hurriedly: "Xianggong, Dong Shaoqing's family sent someone to say that he wanted to see him urgently." ”

Taifu Temple Shaoqing Dong Ling is the father-in-law of Fan Yaochen's eldest son, the two families are very close, and although Dong Ling does not have any power, he is very worthy of friendship, and he has always been cautious, if it is not really important, he will not send someone over in the middle of the night.

Although Fan Yaochen didn't know what was going on, he still said, "Bring him in." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward entered the door.

In the middle of the night, it was clear that there was a cool breeze outside, but he was sweating profusely and panting.

He only hastily met Fan Yaochen, and the ceremony was not finished, and he didn't wait for Fan Yaochen to speak, so he said first: "My family officials specially called the villain to talk to the minister, there was a big incident in Gongxian outside the valley of Nasha and Valley, and thousands of people rioted outside the yamen, and they were already bumped into the Yimen, and everyone wanted the yamen to be assigned to serve as servants, only saying that the parents and officials acted in a bad way, and said that the errand servants who went down to the apportion accepted bribes, because the officials and the forbidden army were outside, there was already a conflict, and many people were injured for this, and the ground was a mess......

Fan Yaochen's eyes widened instantly, and he asked urgently, "What?" ”

He was a little incredulous, and then asked, "Where did you hear about this, and is there any evidence?" But others are talking nonsense? ”

The steward said: "This is what the villain has seen with his own eyes, if it weren't for this, my family officials would not be so anxious!" ”

Because he was afraid that Fan Yaochen would not believe it, the person in charge said: "So that the prince can know, the villain was sent by the family to go to the river to sweep and clean up the old house, and when he returned to Beijing, because the mouth of the sand valley was digging a canal, the waterway could not be continued, so he had to change the road through Gong County. ”

"There are a lot of people gathered outside the county government of Nagong County, all of them are farmers from the left, and all of them are crying out to the sky, shouting that Fan Zhi County is acting unfairly, apportioning forced labor, without considering the facts, all of them are acting partially, and saying that the errand servants who go down everywhere and the local people are working together to accept bribes."

Hearing this, cold sweat oozed from Fan Yaochen's face.

He took a deep breath and asked, "When did you see this?" ”

The man in charge spoke of the days.

Fan Yaochen calculated in his heart, and secretly screamed badly.

At that time, it happened to be the day after the letter was sent, and I don't know if Fan Chunming received it or not.

However, regardless of whether the other party receives it or not, the time is so short, I am afraid that it is too late to adjust the action.

He asked again, "How many people are making trouble?" Where do they come from? How many were injured? And how is it disposed of in the end? ”

The steward said embarrassedly: "This is a small disadvantage, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I just took a cursory look, there must be hundreds of people, and it is not surprising that there are thousands of people outside." ”

"Because I didn't know the importance of this matter, I saw the trouble at the time, so I hurriedly walked away, for fear of being swept in, and because I was in a hurry to return to Beijing to make a business, I didn't inquire about the follow-up situation, but I saw that someone came out of it, and I heard the troublemakers calling inside, and I heard someone say, 'Someone died'."

Dong Lingnai is the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, who is a ceremonial official who doesn't care about anything, and the people in his family dare not ask about such a thing, so they hurriedly dodge, which is in line with the rules of his family.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was related to himself, Fan Yaochen would have praised this steward, praising him for not having much trouble and not causing trouble.

Who would have known that what happened on the way would have something to do with Fan Yaochen, who was far away in the capital?

Fan Yaochen's face was ugly, and his heart was also tightened.

No wonder Dong Ling was in a hurry to send people over in the middle of the night.

If Fan Chunming's place really killed someone......

Fan Yaochen looked down at the piece that he had spent a whole day writing, and the content that he had made up after listening to the staff members' reply, only to feel a little chill in his hands and feet.

It's a big problem......
