When the villagers heard what Hua Cry said, many people nodded in agreement, and began to whisper, seeing that the woman spoke sincerely, not like a lobbyist, but woke them up, they only knew how to work in a daze, but they didn't know, the work of the whole family was not proportional to the harvest, at this moment, it sounded, the words of the woman in front of him were still very reasonable, but it made sense, and it couldn't be treated as if nothing had happened, and the dead were still placed behind!

Sure enough, a few villagers stood up and said, "Although what you said is reasonable, but now that so many people have died, what do you say!" ”

Hua Wei bent his palm and grabbed his sleeve to wipe his tears, this action made the villagers on the side a little unbearable, and pulled the few village neighbors who accused Hua Wei loudly: "Let her finish her words, she doesn't look like a person who is planning to harm us!" ”

Hua weeping and bowed to everyone: "Thank you to the villagers for letting the little girl finish speaking, today's fire is ruthless, let the relatives pass away, the pain of losing relatives The little girl empathizes, this kind of disaster happens, it is the little girl who is not thoughtful, and she recklessly let the villagers go up the mountain to reclaim the famine, the sin is in the little girl's body, this life, just stay in this Qingshui Pavilion, please let the villagers fall, and there will be no complaints if you want to kill......"

Before she finished speaking, she was dragged back by a strong force, Ziyu took her body in front of her, and shouted: "It's none of her business, the decision to reclaim the famine is under the order of my county, and all the blame will be borne by the official, but even the villagers want the life of the official, and now they have to let it go, please let the official properly settle the dead neighbors first, and then let the villagers fall!" ”

This made a group of villagers don't know what to say, some old people began to think, a county parent official, gave their lives to them in a low voice, if this county order is a greedy person, why don't you even want your life and don't run away, but come to the village to clean up the aftermath, this is different from what they thought, moreover, to take the life of this county order, the dead people can't live, but they can't even find a statement to question, thinking of this, the old men stepped forward and signaled the village neighbors not to coax: "In this case, please come up with a way for Lord Ye, Now these dozen lives, what to do! ”

Ziyu turned his head and called the officer, said a few words in his ear, and the officer walked out of the crowd and left.

"Folks, this official has been in Kawaguchi County for less than half a year, but most of the time in the townships and pavilions to experience the people's livelihood and suffering, rarely sit in the county office, about many people here have seen the official walking in the mountains, the official is not a greedy person for money, you can tell, now such a thing, the official has asked the official to return to the city, buy coffins and all the aftermath needs, each family member who died in the fire will be given a pension of 30 taels of silver, and the injured will also be given 5 taels per person, as we all know, there is no money in the county office, these are the private savings of the official, I hope you folks don't have too little! ”

Thirty taels of the dead, five taels of the wounded, this is a lot of silver, the crowd that was quiet just now, restless at the moment, not against it, but disbelievable discussions, this county magistrate actually used his family wealth to pay for it, and the villagers who slandered Ziyu before were to deceive the imperial court to receive help, and instantly felt embarrassed.

"Is Lord Ye serious? Don't fool us grass people! "A few villagers who still don't want to believe it, want to confirm whether this is true.

"What the official said, there is no joke, please rest assured, tonight, the official will be able to rush back to the Qingshui Pavilion, the official will not leave, just wait here with you!" Ziyu threw his hand at everyone again.

Now the villagers are relieved, the county officials are here, as long as they don't run, they will definitely take the silver, the deceased is gone, there is silver to make the living family better, better than nothing, don't you really let the county officials pay for their lives?

"Good! Lord Ye, please go to the grass people's hut and sit down, let's wait together! An old man stood up and said.

Ziyu nodded, pulled the flower behind him and wept, and followed the old man to a dilapidated hut in front.

The old man turned out to be Li Zheng of Qingshui Pavilion, surnamed He Mingfu, speaking of which, Ziyu is still the official of this He Fu, just a group of villagers coaxed, He Fu stood up several times to say justice, so that Ziyu was not attacked by the group.

"Lord Ye is frightened, Caomin He Fu, Li Zheng of Qingshui Pavilion, failed to protect the adult, guilty!" Entering the house, He Fu knelt down and bowed down, originally he didn't know this parent official, after the fire burned people, some people said that the county official was to exchange them for silver, He Fu almost believed, after the confrontation just now, He Fu felt that this county magistrate would not be like the dog officials of the previous fish and meat people, so he stood up and spoke up, in the village, what he was saying was still some prestige.

"It turned out to be He Lizheng, Ziyu thanked He Lizheng!" Ziyu approached He Fu very kindly to help him up, held He Fu's hand, and patted it twice, almost making He Fu cry.

Hua Weeping, who didn't say a word on the side, looked at He Fu a few times, and asked softly recently: "He Lizheng, the little girl is polite, the little girl has some questions she wants to ask Lizheng, I don't know if I can answer one or two?" ”

"Girl, please command, the grass people listen to you!" He Fu hurriedly surrendered his hand, and saw that Hua Xi's identity was not an ordinary folk girl.

"I don't know what kind of village or ...... there are on the mountain in the village" Hua Xi hesitated, wanting to ask if there were bandits hidden on the mountain of this Qingshui Pavilion, and the words felt inappropriate, after all, the situation was embarrassing now, she and Ziyu said that the bad thing is not to hold it hostage here, waiting for the aftermath of the people, if a word accidentally reaches the ears of the villagers outside, it arouses the anger of the people, and it is really taken by the villagers to pay for their lives, it is also difficult to say.

"The girl wants to ask, is there a den of bandits on the mountain of this Qingshui Pavilion?" He Fu lived at this age, and he couldn't stop crying, and he could see it at a glance, and he smiled and said that it was okay.

"Yes, it's not a secret, the little girl has some doubts about the fire out of control, if the little girl guessed right, most of this fire was deliberately led to the outside of the firebreak, the little girl's guess is not groundless, in fact, it is just outside, among the villagers, some are not ordinary people, this, can He Li tell the truth?" Hua Wai's temperament is always uncontrollable, since she is suspicious, she naturally has to ask clearly, investigate clearly, and then kill it easily, not to mention that the righteousness is to avenge the villagers who were killed, at least she and Ziyu have worked hard for so long, and they have been slandered and shamed for the people.

"The girl has good eyesight, since Lord Ye is also here, the old man said bluntly, not only Qingshui Pavilion, but also every township and pavilion, the leader of these people, originally fled from Dongping Country to the refugees, came here and had no livelihood, so he went into the mountains to hide, and went out at night to rob passers-by on the mountain road, and became a bandit, at first there were not many people, and they couldn't rob much property, these people had a good relationship with the woodcutters who often went up the mountain to chop wood, and let the woodcutters bring them to the village, everyone in the village is familiar with it, and it's hard to say anything, after all, it's all about living, but a few days ago, a notice came down in the county, these bandits couldn't sit still, if every household in the village went to the mountains to reclaim the wasteland, not only the young people they recruited would want to leave them and return to the village to farm, but they might also expose their dens when they reclaimed, so they couldn't hide anymore, so, what the girl said, the old man was suddenly enlightened, today's matter, I'm afraid that those thieves did it, and almost let Lord Ye and the girl die, Shame on old decay! ”

When Ziyu heard this, his pupils gathered, his fists clenched, and he secretly said that as a county parent official, he was actually fiddled with by a few bandits, these thieves who have lost their conscience regard human life as a mustard, they really can't stay anymore, they have to be wiped out as soon as possible!

"He Lizheng, is there anyone in the village who is willing to take his official to exterminate those bandits?" Ziyu asked with an awe-inspiring expression.

"This ...... Don't hide it from the adults, if you tell the adults the directions, the young people in the village who originally joined the gang should be willing, if you say that you will personally bring the adults' soldiers and horses, they will probably not dare! "He Fu is a little embarrassed, after all, this county has not been in Kawaguchi County for a long time, it is not clear whether it can be vigorous and effective, in case it is not clean, and then those bandits will come back to the village to take revenge, this is not easy to do!

"Well, what He Lizheng said is indeed the truth, and the official did not think about it, but for the official's ability to suppress bandits, please rest assured that He Lizheng will not let a bandit escape and come back to harm the people!" Ziyu dared to guarantee this because Myeonghyun said that he could solve it without the soldiers and horses of Ziyu County, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Myunghyun.

"There is Lord Ye's words, the old man thanked the adults for the villagers of Qingshui Pavilion first, but this reclamation is about to be released, this happened, before it is completely pacified and the bandits are cleared, it is best not to mention it for the time being, and then the bandits are exterminated and then made public, and this kind of thing will appear in the townships and pavilions in the future, and the people in the village will no longer misunderstand the adults, and the reclamation will be smoothly completed, speaking of which, the reclamation plan of the adults is for the well-being of the people for generations, and they should be grateful, but now they have been distorted, and the old decay is also indignant for the adults!" He Fu bowed deeply to Ziyu.

"Heri is righteous and reasonable, and it is for the benefit of the people." Ziyu had no choice but to help He Fu up.

The matter of suppressing bandits cannot be delayed, Ziyu beckoned to the door, motioned for the official standing outside to come in, and said softly: "Go back to the county seat immediately, go to the post house to find a Ming Gongzi, and say......"

The official carefully remembered Ziyu's explanation, and immediately went out and galloped away on horseback.

The current matter, with He Fu pressing, the villagers should not mess around, the next thing, will be handed over to Minghyun, if it is all dependent on the soldiers and horses of the county government, it really can't be taken care of, the county officials of the entire county are sent to the townships and pavilions to arrange reclamation matters, it will take time to summon them, and none of these county officials can fight, it is okay to bully and bully the common people, and fight with the bandits of the outlaws, I am afraid that it will be vulnerable, since Myeonghyun has guaranteed his strength, it is best for him to solve it at this moment.
