Chapter 65: Saving People

Feng Zhutou didn't understand why Tan Qi asked the owner of the restaurant.

Tan Qi is a talent showman, and he wants to take the exam, he will definitely not go into business, in this case, there is no need to inquire about the restaurant.

But Feng Zhutou is an experienced person, although he didn't understand it in his heart, he didn't interrupt Tan Qi's questioning.

Xiao Er smiled: "Our owner is amazing, but the owner is a woman, so it's inconvenient to show up, so I can't tell you." ”

Tan Qi nodded: "That's it." ”

He didn't ask about the owner again, but talked to Feng Zhutou about Dashe Village.

"So that Brother Feng knows, I also just learned about the things in the village, and after I knew it, I quickly came to find Brother Feng, this matter is not for the villagers, if I hurt any brother, I will compensate them on their behalf, and I hope that Brother Feng will go around one or two, and release the villagers who are locked up first, as for the lack of summer grain, we can convert it into silver and make up for it?"

Feng Zhutou originally thought that Tan Qi would oppress people with power, and forced him to release people with the power of Gao Shanchang, but he didn't expect Tan Qi to be so soft, he first said soft words, and then promised to make up for the silver, so he had a luster on his face.

"Talking about Xiucai, we Mingren don't say dark words, this matter is really forced to have no choice, you also know that this year's harvest is like this...... Several villages have no way to live, and the harvest in these villages is a little better, and we have to do this in order to make up enough summer grain. ”

Feng Zhutou also told them about their difficulties: "Since you interceded for them, for your sake, I will do this for you." ”

The matter is decided, Tan Qi asked for good wine, good food and Feng Zhutou to eat and drink.

After sending Feng Zhutou away, Tan Qi's face became gloomy.

He came out of the checkout, and Tan Jiao greeted him: "Second brother, the ...... of our village"

Tan Qi walked to the car: "Let's go back first." ”

The two did not return to the village, but first found a place to live in the county.

After settling down, Tan Qi said to Tan Jiao: "Release the people first, and talk about the rest later." ”

Tan Qi waited in the county for a day, and the next day, Feng Zhutou notified him to pick up people.

Tan Qi came with silver.

When he got to prison, he handed over the money and began to release people.

The villagers who were locked up watched as Tan Qi took so much silver to save them.

Others clinged to the door of their cells and refused to come out.

Tan Qi paid the money, and saw several people crying while pulling the cell door to shout grievances, he took a few steps over and slapped him a few times: "What kind of funeral, hurry up, if you don't leave, I'll chop you up and feed the dog." ”

Those people were frightened by Tan Qi and were pulled out by the rest of the people.

As soon as these people left, Tan Qi smiled and said to Feng Zhutou: "Brother Feng, I have written down this love today, there is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and after the autumn season, I will come to have a drink with Brother Feng again." ”

Feng Zhutou was shocked in his heart, and he arched his hand towards Tan Qi: "I'll wait." ”

Tan Qi came out of the prison, there were already several ox carts waiting outside, he sent the villagers to take the ox carts and hurried back to the village, and he himself and Tan Jiao went to Fucheng.

Feng Zhutou looked at Tan Qi's back in a daze.

After a while, he shouted, "It's broken." ”

"What's wrong?" The two servants who came over to release people with Feng Zhutou asked: "We took the silver, and the people also released it, the one who talked about Xiucai just now was also kind, why was it broken?" ”

Feng Zhutou slapped his forehead vigorously: "What is talking about Xiucai, talking about Xiucai, is he an ordinary Xiucai?" That's Xiao Sanyuan, and it's a student of Gao Shan Chang, no accident, Qiu Yu is a must, maybe he can get a big four, if he wins the lift, then, that's amazing. ”

Come to think of it, the county magistrate in this county is just from a human background.

If Tan Qi wins, even if he doesn't participate in next year's Spring Festival, he can get a county magistrate if he walks the way.

Although the county magistrate is only a seventh-grade official, it depends on where he rests?

It is too inconspicuous to be in the capital, but it is also the parent official of a county, who is in charge of the life and death of the people of a county.

If it's really like this, Tan Qi can't think of a way to retaliate back.

Don't look at Tan Qi's smile on the surface, who knows if he is scolding in his heart.

"If he really succeeds, let's ......" The more Feng Zhutou thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He began to regret accepting Tan Qi's silver.

If Tan Qi didn't want money when he was looking for him, and gave Tan Qi a face and released him directly, then Tan Qi had to keep him a favor, and it would be easy to talk when they met in the future.

But now, I'm afraid that not only will I be ruthless, but I will also leave a hate.

In the car, Tan Jiao was very confused: "Second brother, are you too soft to do this?" This is the fault of those errand soldiers, they overcharged taxes and grain privately, and they violated the law of the country, and you gave them back the money, which is really a nest. ”

Tan Qi smiled: "Soft? If you look at it, when have I ever suffered? How well is my silver collected? ”

He patted Tan Jiao and began to teach Tan Jiao.

"Don't think that Feng Zhutou has no official position, but he is just a small official, you look down on people, you know, there is no county master in the local yamen, it's good to say, but without these soap officials, this yamen can't work, the magistrates are all foreigners, but these officials are all native to the hometown, and even some are hereditary, they have deep roots in a place, the network is all over the place, and they can't move easily, if I fight with them, I will naturally not be a nest, and I am particularly relieved, but you also have to know that the people in our village are still in the hands of others. If one of them is unhappy, if nothing else, they are just hungry for a few days, and you say that a few can stand it, not to mention sticks. ”

Tan Jiao was shocked when he heard this: "No, it won't be like this, right?" ”

Tan Qi chuckled: "That's it." ”

"Our purpose is to save people, first rescue the villagers, and then slowly brew with them." Tan Qi carefully explained to Tan Jiao: "I am out of the money, but my money is so easy to take?" ”

The two of them drove out of the city, and they saw the villagers waiting.

Seeing Tan Qi, several descendants came over crying: "Tan Erlang, this time thanks to you." ”

Tan Qi smiled and said: "Okay, just come out, let's be careful in the future, those little officials are rampant, let's not provoke easily, what is there to tolerate in advance in the future, wait for me to find a way." ”

The older one just nodded, "Okay, we've got it." ”

Tan Qi sent the villagers out and watched them disappear before returning.

Back at the residence, Tan Qi asked Tan Jiao to guard in the house, and he went out to walk around by himself.

There are more begging people in the county than in the prefecture, and when Tan Qi walked around the street, he met seven or eight groups of begging for food.

These people are not dressed in tatters, but they are yellow, hungry and thin, and they have weak strength to reach out to people to ask for food and money.

Tan Qi entered an alley, and five or six teenage children followed.

Tan Qi waited for the children to get closer, and then took out a cloth bag from his back.

He opened the cloth bag, and the aroma of food wafted out, and the greedy children drooled.

Several children glanced at each other and began to slowly shrink the encirclement, thinking about how to subdue Tan Qi so as to snatch the food from his hand.

Tan Qi looked calm, with a shallow smile on his face: "Do you want to eat sugar?" Eating steamed buns? ”

Several of the children swallowed louder.

The leading child glared at Tan Qi viciously: "I want to tease your grandfather, but there is no door, hurry up and hand over the things, otherwise grandpa will twitch your tendons." ”
