Chapter 043: An Ignorant Citizen with No Culture
Zhou Peng, as the son of the village of Yin, has always been above the top, and now he is about to have an official position, listening to the obviously unkind shouts outside the hospital, Song Yun couldn't help frowning.
At this time, many villagers who had already been curious in their hearts slowly gathered around when they heard Zhou Peng's shout.
"Hey, it's different when you're about to become an official, everyone has an official accent!"
"I heard that the list of our township officials has been determined, and it will be handed over to Taishou for sealing, and it will only be a matter of two days before Zhou Peng takes office."
"Tut-tut, there are two officials in the Lizheng family, and there is green smoke on the ancestral grave, which is really majestic."
The chattering words of the villagers made Zhou Peng even more angry.
He is only one step away from becoming an official, and there is nothing he will be afraid of.
Zhou Peng cleared his throat and raised his head to scold: "Song Yunjiangxi, didn't you hear Lord Ben calling you?" Why don't you come out and hide in the house and lay eggs—"
Because he was too arrogant and didn't control the volume, this shout was a bit high, Zhou Peng's voice was up at that time, and he couldn't shout out loud if he wanted to say the following words.
He wanted to go in directly to arrest people, but at this time, the courtyard door of Song Yun's house was closed, let alone arresting people, he couldn't even get in.
Zhou Peng hoarsely walked around in front of Song Yun's house, stamping his feet in anger.
In the house, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Song Yun heard Zhou Peng's shouting, and he couldn't get up for a long time, and finally gave up.
And Jiang Xi and Xiaomo Xiaoyu chose to ignore Zhou Peng outside the hospital very uniformly because of the previous incident with Zhou Grape.
The family finished their meal peacefully in the house.
"The uneducated things in the family, obviously heard the shouts of Lord Ben, and no one has come out yet!"
Zhou Peng's voice was hoarse and he couldn't shout, so he began to talk to the surrounding villagers.
"Whatever, I don't pee and take care of it myself, but I dare to put up a stand in front of my lord! The day I take office, the first thing I will do is to drive the family out of Qihe County! ”
"Who is the adult, Uncle Zhou? Have you become an official already? You're amazing. ”
Xiao Mo held a large piece of meat and bones in his hand, gnawed on his mouth full of oil, and then looked at Zhou Peng's crotch back and forth, and said with a face full of incomprehension.
"You just said peeing, Uncle Zhou, did you pee your pants? Don't be afraid, if you pee your pants, just wash them, I used to do this when I peed my pants. ”
“……”
Zhou Peng saw at a glance that the flesh and bones in Xiaomo's hand were greedy, but he didn't expect that this child seemed innocent and harmless, but every word he said made his old face hurt.
But with so many people in the village watching, he couldn't do anything to a child, and he couldn't even cure a child after working for half a day, Zhou Peng suddenly became angry.
", kid! Call out your father and your mother's two shrunken turtles! ”
"Zhou Peng, you can have an argument with a child, was your elder temperament eaten by a dog?"
Jiang Xi finished cleaning up the table, and as soon as he came out, he heard Zhou Peng's barking.
"What kind of senior, you don't come with me to do this! You won't be unaware that the Imperial Court is conscripting! Why, your Song Yun woke up but didn't report it, is this planning to escape? ”
Seeing Jiang Xi appear, the momentum in Zhou Peng's words swelled again.
He hugged his arms and snorted coldly, and said: "According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, those who deliberately evade forced labor will be punished for confiscating all their family property!" ”
Zhou Peng said it seriously, and there was no room for Song Yun to turn around.
The surrounding villagers learned that Zhou Peng was here for conscription, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
"That's right! Why didn't Song Yun go to serve in the conscription? My man is going to be tired there. ”
The scheming village woman quickly echoed Zhou Peng's words.
"I heard that this year's forced labor assigned to every man in our village is a bit heavier than in previous years, is it because Song Yun didn't go and took it for Song Yun?"
The conscription is hard, and no one wants to go, not to mention that it is possible to do it for others, and no one is even more willing to do it.
Zhou Peng saw that Song Yun's failure to serve the conscription had successfully caused dissatisfaction among the villagers, and his face couldn't help but become proud.
Even Song Yun in the room listened to it, and felt as if he had indeed dragged everyone down, and immediately prepared to get out of bed and go out to apologize to everyone.
"Daddy, don't worry, A-Niang said, hearing is not necessarily true, let's listen to what A-Niang says before making a decision."
Sure enough, before the voices of the people outside the courtyard fell, they heard Jiang Xi snort coldly, "Harm others to do more coolies with their own selfishness, this kind of person should indeed be punished for confiscating family property, but this person is not Song Yun." ”
"If it's not Song Yun, who else could it be? Almost all the strong men in the village were arrested, and your Song Yun escaped with a leg injury......"
A village woman whose father-in-law was arrested to serve in forced labor was still eloquent, but when she saw that Jiang Xi's cold eyes had been swirling on Zhou Peng, her voice gradually became quieter.
Yes, in addition to Song Yun's injury, there is also the Li Zheng family in the village, and his family has not come out of a strong man.
There are two officials in the Keli family, and she can't afford to offend.
At this time, not only the village woman, but even the onlookers and Zhou Peng himself slowly sensed that something was wrong from Jiang Xi's eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Facing Jiang Xi's ice-like gaze, Zhou Peng obviously shrank for a moment.
"What do you say?" Jiang Xi squinted slightly, and said disdainfully: "If you want to talk about the law of the Great Jin, I will also talk to you according to the law." Since you are going to be an official, you don't know that someone like Song Yun who has serious injuries in his limbs is exempt from forced labor. ”
"It's you, the official position has not yet been added, who gave you the qualification to be exempted from forced labor?"
"Song Yun just woke up, you just ran over and asked him to serve, it's not enough for the people in the village to work for you for nothing, do you want to let an injured person like Song Yun go to serve the quota for you?"
"Exempt from forced labor? Substitution slots? Is this true? Jiang Xi's words quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"I seem to have heard that the physically disabled can be exempted from forced labor, but if someone like Zhou Peng has not yet sat in an official position, if he does not serve the forced labor and there is no one to replace him, it seems that he will not only be fined and confiscated his family property, but also take off the candidacy title."
“……”
After listening to others' explanations, the villagers who were originally around Zhou Peng immediately took a big step to the side.
If he doesn't become an official, then there will be nothing to talk about, and several people have completely drawn a line with Zhou Peng.
At this time, Song Yun, who was sitting in the hall, was also full of contemplation, it seemed that Jiangxi was really different from before!
Zhou Peng saw that his intention to come today had been exposed, and he was anxious, "Jiangxi! What are you crazy women talking about! It's only been in the past two days that my official position has been added or not, can you think clearly, can you offend Lord Ben as an ignorant citizen?! ”
"Really? Jiang Niangzi can't afford to offend, I don't know if the pavilion master is qualified? This conscription is a conscription for the queen to pray for the temple of the queen, is this Lord Zhou trying to take advantage of the benefits of the township officials to rebel? ”
Not far away, Jian Dichun's two subordinates wore armor and uniforms with scimitars on their waists, and each carried a wooden box in their hands, and walked over slowly.
