Chapter 24 Hidden in the Mountains

Back at the inn, the two reported the truth. Leng Ze let the two go back to rest first, and then thought quietly until dawn before taking a nap.

In the early morning, the morning fog clears, and daylight pierces the clouds to descend on the earth.

Qian Ye was awakened by the sunlight shining into the room, opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment, and only remembered that he was in an inn in Shanyin County for a while. "Bean paste buns?"

"Wang~~" Doushabao, who was obviously in a good mood, wagged her tail and squatted in front of her bed, thinking about how to jump on it.

Qian Ye curled the corners of his mouth, hugged it, and asked with a smile: "I'm hungry, let's go eat in a while." As he spoke, he heard "Knock! There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"The boss said, let you clean up quickly, and you will have to go out in a while."

"I'll be fine right away."

The man heard Qian Ye's answer and turned to leave. When Qian Ye put on his robe, washed up, and went downstairs with the bean paste bag, he saw that the four King Kongs were eating breakfast downstairs. Seeing her coming, he nodded and pointed to the empty seat next to him.

Well, it's more like a free seat than a separate table. This square table is occupied tightly by four people on all sides, and Qian Ye naturally has no place to plug in. Fortunately, she didn't care, and she really didn't want to face a few people, so she sat down with the bean paste bag very happily.

Breakfast is very rich, millet porridge, pickles with meat buns. Qianye ate happily, and the bean paste bun also felt very happy. Especially when she doesn't need to pay for this meal, she feels even more delicious.

After the meal, a few people came to the street, looking like they were bored and wandering, but in fact they were paying attention to the eyes of the dark surveillance. Regarding this point, these four people are very experienced, and Qian Ye naturally doesn't need to work hard.

When they quietly went out of the city and came outside the city, they felt a lot of emotion when they looked at the false prosperity in the city.

Not far from the county seat of San'in, there is a village. The village looks sparsely populated, and there are only a dozen or so families standing at the foot of the hill.

There are farmland and forests in the distance, and there are few pedestrians between the villages, which is far from the prosperity of San'in County.

Leng Ze walked towards the bottom of the hill first, and Qian Ye and the three brothers of the Mo family also followed.

In summer, the smell of plants is wonderful.

The cattle were busy in the fields, the birds were chirping in the branches, and everything seemed to be very ordinary, and it was clearly just a simple and peaceful rural morning. However, when a few people stood on the path in the village, looking at the gloomy looks on the faces of the people passing by, they suddenly realized that all this did not seem to be so simple. Everyone is like a puppet with a string, numb and alive, far less than expected.

There is no expectation of life on their faces, nor is there any expectation of life...... Qian Ye suddenly felt a shuddering feeling, as if everything in front of him was just an illusion, the appearance of several of them had no effect on the things around them, as if everyone couldn't see them.

"Boss, something is wrong!" is so obvious, if Mo Yan can't see it, it will be really stupid.

Leng Ze frowned first, and suppressed Mo Yan's words, "Let's see." ”

As they continued towards the village, they saw only poverty, and even the faces of the children had lost their innocence, crouching under a tree in patched clothes, and occasionally crushing a passing ant to death with their slender fingers.

Under the tree, there was an old man with gray hair resting. Qian Ye thought about it and stepped forward. "Hello, uncle, I want to inquire about something?"

The old man looked up, revealing cloudy eyes. "What's the matter?"

Fortunately, Qian Ye said secretly in his heart, so he said to the old man with a smile: "That's the case, a few of us merchants from Lecheng heard that Shanyin County is rich in land and resources, so we want to come here to collect some mountain goods." But, when I look around this village, it seems—"

"Haha." The old man laughed suddenly, and his voice was so dry that it seemed to come out of his throat. "You guys, let's go quickly, where is this Shanyin County as good as you imagined! It's like hell on earth. ”

Qian Ye showed a very puzzled expression on his face, "Uncle, how can you see it?" ”

I don't know if the old man saw Qianye's good face or something else, so he told the past events over the years. "This Shanyin County was an ordinary county town in the early years, and although the people were not rich, they could also have food and clothing. However, since the new prefectural commander took office, this San'in County has completely changed its appearance. Not only did he build a large number of buildings and completely rebuild the county seat of San'in, but he also built many new houses for people to live in. ”

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Qianye said.

The old man looked sarcastic, "A good thing? You know where the money to build the house comes from, and you know where the hard-earned money of our ordinary people goes! Taxes have increased year after year, and the people are miserable, but the county lord who lives in the city doesn't care about this, he just needs to hold his beautiful concubine and enjoy his life with peace of mind, and what does the rest matter to him! ”

"Then no one cares about this?"

"Tube? Who cares, this county master is the day of this Shanyin, and those who want to go out to report the news have been killed! Poor my grandson has just turned sixteen, and he was beaten to death in front of the county office! He was lucky, for fear that the passing tourists would see the bad of Sanyin, and every time a foreigner entered the city gate, he ordered the surrounding people to pretend. The people didn't dare to be angry or speak, so they could only press in their stomachs and let these words rot. The people of Shanyin County are no longer full of food and clothing, but the county magistrate has not relented, and has increased taxes. Even the ordinary people in this city have to pay one or two pieces of silver every month for the county magistrate's expenses. And this rich man wanted to move out of the county, but he was repeatedly stopped and threatened to be killed if he dared to escape. Haha, our famous benevolent man Wang Da Rich Man in Shanyin County, not only was his home raided, his sons were imprisoned, and his daughters were sold to other places and green buildings, which is really pitiful...... However, our Sanyin County is also very famous! Look at how lively and lively the flower street and willow lane are at night! ! The voice stopped abruptly.

Qian Ye retracted his gaze and turned around to look at Leng Zexian and the others. "Your Excellency, he's dead." Also, how can such an old man endure the loss of his loved ones.

"Let's go, go back to the city!" Leng Ze joined the Six Doors first, but it was the first time he had encountered such a thing. There are not a few cases that usually judge cases, but there are not a few corrupt officials who encounter them, but this Liu Ping is the first time he has encountered it in his life. I don't know where this person's mind came from, but he gave birth to so many injustices, affecting the people around him into suffering. Such a person should be cut with a thousand knives, so that the people can be angry! The words of the old man were extremely ordinary, but who could understand the grief implied in those words! It was the first time that Mr. Leng Zeping was so angry, and he couldn't wait to rush in and punch that Liu Ping to death right now! "God's house next door to his grandmother's house, a seaweed fish skin!"

"Huh?" Qian Ye was standing beside Leng Zexian, and suddenly heard his angry words vaguely carrying an unknown dialect, his eyes widened, and his face was dazed.

The three brothers of the Mo family quietly followed behind the two, and Tong Leng himself opened a short distance himself. They have known each other since childhood, don't look at the tale who looks silent in the six doors on weekdays, but their brothers are very clear, and the boss still has the same gangster spirit in his bones as the bandit leader back then. is worthy of being the leader, this mighty appearance is really admirable!

"What are you doing standing stupidly, don't keep up with it!" When he turned around, he yelled at Qianye.

Qian Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, and was even more convinced in his heart that everyone in the six doors was suffering from schizophrenia. Look at this, it is clearly a cold face paralysis, but it suddenly turned into a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus, which is more than a sentence that can be said smoothly!

The village is gradually left behind, and no one knows what the future of this place will be, but Qian Ye believes that the future here will be happier than the present.

"My lord, what should we do now when we return to Shanyin County?"

"Wait and see what happens. At ten o'clock in the evening, you went to the flower street that the old man said to find out, I want to see what kind of flower street can be so prosperous! ”

Qian Ye secretly pursed the corners of her lips, and said secretly: Could it be that she has been very close to this Qinglou recently, and she is going to Qinglou to explore it again.
