Chapter 231: The villain Hu Zhixian
Fluttershy even notices a few sturdy-looking male victims, looking greedily at their wheelbarrows.
In this day and age, unicycles were not a property in every household, and at this time, anyone who had one would be of great use, and it would be feasible to carry people, pull things, or exchange food with others.
So now the unicycle in the team has become the most eye-catching thing.
"Dad, go and inform the Geng Nursing Home." Ding Xiaodie secretly pinched her sweat, Don't look at the scrawny people one by one, if someone suddenly rushes up, it is about to explode, and hundreds of victims will rush up.
Grab the wheelbarrow, grab the gourd bottle and cloth bag hanging from their waists, tear them to pieces, in short, no one wants to talk nonsense about human nature to anyone at this time.
When there is humanity, it is because it is not yet hungry to the extreme.
Therefore, it is necessary to contain each other before these people who are ready to move make a move.
How?
Ding Xiaodie whispered: "Tell Geng Nursing Courtyard, let the Lu family's Nursing Courtyard, as well as the men in our village, all have weapons to show up." ”
Ding Gui understood in seconds, and hurriedly bent his waist all the way forward to pass on the news to everyone.
Subsequently, the men in Aozigou, the Lu family's nursing home, and even the sturdier women quietly clenched the kitchen knife in their hands.
Seeing the new arrivals showing their hands and a few of them showing their real swords, the men who had already lifted their butts off the ground and were ready to pounce on them slowly sat back again.
But in their eyes, the light of greed has not been extinguished.
These people are waiting for their time, and if they don't enter the city again, something will happen sooner or later.
At this time, Master Lu, who took his two sons to the city to negotiate with the magistrate, also knew that the situation outside was not optimistic.
In the early years, when the country did not have this turbulent situation, Lord Lu had a lot of assets in Wo County, including today, in this county town where all directions have to pass through here, and Master Lu also has a lot of street frontage.
is the so-called to worship a god in one side of the water and soil, so in the past, this Huzhi County did not eat the benefits of the Lu family.
At this time, seeing the tired father and son of the Lu family, Hu Zhixian naturally hurriedly called someone to serve tea, and said something else: "I also know a thing or two about the situation in the north, Master Lu, the two sons, have suffered and suffered, come on, come on, sit down and rest for a while." ”
Master Lu didn't sit down, hugged his fists: "Master Hu, when we came just now, we saw that the victims were outside the city, why didn't you let them into the city, I see that there are not many people in this city, and it is not a little less desolate than before." ”
Many of the shops on the street are closed, and there are very few people on the street, and some of them come out to make a living and make some small shops, but they don't even have customers.
This is completely incomparable to the previous Waugh County.
However, the city was empty, and Huzhi County did not allow the victims to enter the city.
Hu Zhixian shook his head with knotted brows: "Alas, Master Lu doesn't know, after such a long period of drought, there is no food in the city to distribute to the victims, if they are let into the city, it will be a big disaster, when the time comes, those victims will burn, kill and loot, then this city will not be saved!" ”
Master Lu can understand Hu Zhixian's suffering, since he can't help so many disaster victims to speak, then he will talk about his team, and want to ask Hu Zhixian to let them enter the city first for the sake of his previous friendship.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhixian actually talked to him about business.
"Let me tell you this, Master Lu, not only is there a small number of people in Wo County at the moment, but also because of the disaster, the houses are also a lot empty, there are no less than 100 people in your group, for your sake, I will let you enter the city, and arrange accommodation for them, but you have to promise me one condition."
"Lord Hu, but he said that he was defenseless."
"Once you enter the city, whoever you are, from now on, must be strictly subject to the laws of our country, the military service. The errand servants had to build bridges and pave roads, clean the streets, county offices, and take care of warehouses, but they were not paid, and they should bring their own food, lodging, and clothing. In addition, each household also has to pay taxes, send supplies, tax money is only one of them, and have to pay for fire. If you agree to all this, then the ruler will allow you to enter the city. ”
“……”
What is it called?
According to his Hu Zhi County, after their troops entered the city, they not only had to be honest taxpayers and defend Vaud County, but Vaud County also took care of everything except giving them a wall and a hut to live in.
This is a court official who thinks about the people, and a villain who takes advantage of people's danger.
Master Lu turned his head and glanced at Lu Chenhe, who was also having a seizure.
The two brothers of the Lu family were so angry that they wanted to come forward and beat this Wang Bazhi County, when the country was peaceful in the past, he Hu Zhixian wanted to hold their Lu family in the palm of his hand, but now he used the official authority of his little Zhixian to embarrass people.
After stopping the two brothers, Master Lu suppressed the anger in his heart: "Hu Zhixian, you see how this is, since we borrow Wo County to accommodate ourselves, the errand and military service will definitely do our best, but the tax and silver fire consumption and materials, can we slow down, after all, everyone is a disaster victim who came out to make trouble, even if there is a copper plate that has been exchanged for food, how can there be ready-made silver on the body, if there is, it will not be called a disaster victim, right?" ”
Master Hu smiled: "Those poor people don't have it, but you Master Lu does!" These hundred or so people are only two taels of silver per household, and you can help them pay for it when you open your mouth. ”
"Two taels of silver?"
Grab people!?
Even when the country was at its peak, the people did not have such a heavy tax amount, not to mention that it is now in a mess, the people are running and dying, how can anyone take care of the tax, this surnamed Hu obviously wants to knock on a stroke.
Although this amount of money is indeed not much for the Lu family.
It's hateful to fall into the hands of such villains.
Lu Chenhe and Lu Xingluo reluctantly held back their hearts, and their fingertips were quietly clenched into fists.
Master Lu wanted to save people on his side, so he could only smile reluctantly: "Lord Hu reminded me that yes, then please let them enter the city first, wait for the number of people to be counted, and then how much tax and silver will be converted, and everything will be paid by the Lu family." ”
"Okay, good, Master Lu is really a cheerful person." Lord Hu's eyes instantly smiled into a slit, and he immediately asked someone to take the pen and ink and sign the pledge.
After all the formalities were completed, he said: "But Lord Lu, you also see that there are countless victims outside the city, if I let your team in front of them, those people will inevitably rebel, so I can only ...... like this."
Master Hu said a few words like this, and Master Lu nodded: "Then do as you say." ”
……
Just as Ding Xiaodie and his party and the victims were tense, suddenly the city gate opened, and more than a dozen yamen officials ran out from inside, standing on both sides of their team, and then walked out of the main book.
I saw the master Bo unfold the document in his hand and read it aloud: "You and other victims from Yangliu Town in the north, knowing that the Fujian generals over there bravely resisted the enemy, not only did you not help, but also dared to flee to Wo County. Come on, take it. ”
