Mrs. Chen got some to cook porridge.

Chen Liu grabbed a handful of dry food, rattling, very delicious.

Chen Dashan came over and took the little begonia into his arms and asked, "Do you like to eat this?" ”

Chen Liu said: "This is still very delicious to eat as a snack. ”

Chen Dashan said: "Then we will leave some for snacks to eat." ”

"How's that going to work? Isn't this meant to be sold? ”

"I'll leave some for you to eat first, and I'll get some more on the mountain in two days, there are more on the mountain."

"Okay then."

In the evening, Dr. He stayed at Chen's house for dinner.

He was eating wolfberry porridge, and he felt that Mrs. Chen was quite good at thinking, and she would actually use wolfberries to cook porridge and drink.

It's sweet, soft and glutinous, and it's delicious.

After dinner, he made an appointment with Chen Dashan for tomorrow's departure time and went back.

This time, they are going to the county seat, and they have to walk a long way, so they have to leave early.

On the fifth watch of the next day, Dr. He came to find Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan was also prepared early, and the things were all placed on Xiaobai's back.

As soon as Dr. He came to the door, they set off.

Chen Dashan has never been to the county seat, so he has to be led by Dr. He on the road.

He often goes to the county seat to sell herbs, so he is familiar with the road.

From them to the county seat, you can take the official road.

The official road is relatively wide, and the road is easy to walk, but there are many places to turn and the distance is farther.

If you take a trail, it will be much closer, but the degree of danger is higher.

Whether they take the official road or copy the small road, they have to go to Qingniu Town first.

When they arrived in Qingniu Town, the two began to discuss whether to take the avenue or copy the trail?

Chen Dashan wanted to go early and return early, so he said, "Then let's take the trail." ”

Seeing that he was willing to take the trail, Dr. He didn't say anything.

Just take the trail, anyway, the two of them are much safer than him.

What's more, Chen Dashan is tall and powerful.

Even if you encounter robbers, you can't be sure who will rob whom.

So the two of them took a small road to the county seat.

His luck was good, and he didn't encounter robbers on the way.

walked around and rested, and walked for nearly two hours before arriving at the county seat.

If you take the official road, it will take more than three hours.

The first time he went to the county seat, Chen Dashan was excited.

Along the way, he imagined what the county town would look like, but when he arrived at the county seat, he was a little disappointed.

Because the county seat is completely different from what he imagined.

He thought that the county seat should be bustling with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

In fact, there were not many people coming to the county seat, and there were not many people on the road at all.

There were two people who were on the same road, and they only met when they turned to the official road.

Through the conversation, I learned that one was going to the county town to get medicine, and the other was going to the county town to ask for a doctor because of the difficult birth of his daughter-in-law.

They all sighed and said, "No one wants to come to the county seat unless it is necessary." ”

Speaking of how prosperous the county was before, the situation has become worse and worse since the new county ordinance was changed.

Especially when the bastard named Cao Gou got under the hands of the county magistrate, not only the people in the city were extremely sad, but even the people outside the city were often harassed by them.

They went to the field, saw who had grown good vegetables, and as soon as he saw it, he would pull it up.

When I entered the village, I saw who raised the chicken, grabbed it and left.

These poor people have no place to reason.

The girls of the common people's families never dared to show their heads, and they hid in the house.

I'm afraid that Cao Gou, a dog thief, will see it.

Listening to these passers-by talk casually, Chen Dashan already hated his teeth itching.

He didn't expect that there were such shameless people in the world.

He even thought about what if his girl grew up and met such a bad person?

At this moment, he wanted to kill all the bad guys in this world.

None were left.

As they spoke, they came to the gate of the city, which was guarded by six soldiers.

The gates of the city have been opened.

Doctor He skillfully walked in front of the soldier at the front, took out four cents and handed it over.

The man looked at the money and waved them in.

Everyone who entered the city gate had to pay two pennies.

Chen Dashan didn't know why, and asked softly: "Do you have to pay when you come to the county seat?" ”

Dr. He said, "Yes. ”

Chen Dashan didn't say anything more.

He thought about it in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out, why did he have to pay money when he came to the county seat?

Doctor He knew in his heart that there was no war now, and paying the money was just a means for the county magistrate to loot the people's fat and cream.

The county magistrate of Qinghe County is a greedy and mediocre person.

It has been a year since he came to Qinghe County, and the people of Qinghe County have begun to feel sad.

There are even people who have no money to give gifts, and they are forcibly seized of their family property and beaten by the board, and finally leave a bloody letter and commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

The county magistrate only cares about money and never thinks about the people.

But he didn't tell Chen Dashan about these bad things.

Chen Dashan is very simple, he doesn't want these bad things to stain his eyes.

The two men paid the money and led their horses into the city gate.

Just after the city gate, a soldier guarding the gate stopped them and said, "Stand still, both of you."

Say what about you, you who lead the horses. ”

Dr. He couldn't pretend not to know anymore, so he had to stand still.

The soldier immediately approached and glanced at the horse.

Then he looked at the other person, and the two exchanged glances.

Dr. He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt bad.

Chen Dashan didn't like the way they looked at Xiaobai.

Dr. He hurriedly said, "We have already paid the poll tax. ”

"Paying taxes is paying taxes, what do you do? What is carried on horseback? The soldier asked domineeringly.

Chen Dashan heard the other party speak like this, and his mood suddenly became bad.

They walked well, did they owe him?

Is it necessary to ask in this tone?

Dr. He wanted to calm things down, so he hurriedly took out some money and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, saying:

"These are all medicines sent to Boholdo. Please also ask all the officials to pass through their personal favors and let us go in and deliver the goods. ”

The soldier weighed the money in his hand, and he didn't look down on it at all.

Even if he didn't like it, he didn't return the money to him, but put it in his pocket and said, "The medicine sent to Boholtang?

Boholtang's medicines are all life-saving medicines, and there is no room for error.

Go, go over there and get investigated. ”

Dr. He's face immediately changed, and he said, "It's just some commonly used medicines, which we picked ourselves." ”

As he spoke, he sent him some more money, and said in a low voice: "My lord has worked hard here to protect the people, and this money is filial to everyone to drink tea, hehehe, drink tea." ”

The soldier saw that he had given thirty wen this time, checked it, and thought that it was about the same, so he waved his hand and let them go.

Doctor He hurriedly smiled, took the horse and dragged Chen Dashan away.

He was angry in his heart, and he thought that he would be investigated if he wanted to go to the investigation.

They came from the right way, they didn't steal or rob, there is nothing to say, why give them money?

Why do they take money?
