Chapter 33 The hearts of the people are united

Without bothering to call 444, the book floating in front of her automatically rose without wind, and the pages of the book clattered and turned, and soon stopped where she needed it.

Mu Xiwen read it hungrily.

She spent the whole afternoon in her room, not even having time for a snack.

The next day, Mu Xiwen got up early in the morning and disguised himself as a man and entered the city.

Donghe Village, Wang's family.

A middle-aged man was sitting at the door, smoking a dry cigarette, and across from him, a girl in a white dress frowned lightly, and said something with a complaining expression.

"Daddy, how can you do such a thing?"

Wang Lizheng glanced at the girl, "What kind of thing?" Am I not following the rules? Peiyun, you're too simple. Mu Xiwen, that little disaster star, has damaged your reputation so much, if you don't give the Mu family a little color, they really forgot who is in charge of this thing River Village! ”

Her mother, Zhao Xia, helped beside her: "You dead girl, who is your father for?" Not for you! ”

"But if this kind of thing is reported by the Mu family......" Wang Peiyun did not hide his worries.

Remembering that since the last large-scale poisoning incident, there were many fewer people who came to the door to ask Wang Peiyun for help with things, Zhao Xia was even more angry, she nodded Wang Peiyun's forehead with her hand, "Didn't you say last time that Mrs. Zhixian recognized you as her goddaughter?" What are you afraid of with your godfather and godmother? ”

"Think about it for yourself, since the little disaster star of the Mu family announced that she would be able to heal, how many people have praised her openly and secretly belittled you? You don't deserve to panic! ”

Wang Peiyun pinched the handkerchief in her hand, yes, since the last poisoning incident, her reputation has not risen but fallen, and she has not risen back to the 50 mark for so long.

Thinking of the title of "beauty and kindness" that was withdrawn, and thinking of the increasingly haggard face she saw every time she looked in the mirror, she felt distressed as if her heart was dripping blood.

If it weren't for Mu Xiwen...... She gritted her teeth and taught her a lesson, so that she could know who was the little lucky star and who was the daughter of destiny!

Mu Xiwen went straight to Zhang's mansion, took out the gardenia candied fruit made a few days ago, and after priing open Zhang Ying'an's mouth, he began to try his best to talk: "Brother Zhang, has your eldest brother already set off on the road with bronze?" ”

Zhang Yingan nodded vaguely while eating, "Mm-hmm." ”

"Alas, I don't know if Brother Zhang has any way, will he return in vain?"

Zhang Ying'an's eyes widened in disapproval, and he didn't even care about the food on the side of his mouth, "How is it possible?" My big brother is amazing! Besides, who doesn't give a few points to my Zhang family's face! ”

Mu Xiwen clenched his fists, "Brother Zhang means that your Zhang family is very powerful?" I don't know who my father is? ”

"Oh, my dad is the new Admiral Xuedao of Yuqing Province."

That's right! That's him! Mu Xiwen's heart was full of excitement. In the Great Wei Dynasty, he was a magistrate of the third grade, and only the highest governor of a province - the governor.

She pressed down her excited heartbeat, and said to Zhang Ying'an seemingly inadvertently: "By the way, Brother Zhang, do you want to go and see the river that dug out the bronze, and analyze what is unique about it, maybe we will encounter this kind of good thing again in the future." ”

Zhang Ying'an blinked, "Okay, it just so happens that I don't have anything to do at home every day." ”

No more nonsense, Mu Xiwen turned Zhang Yingan and left, and followed him to have a luxury trip - a carriage.

Zhang Gongzi traveled, naturally equipped with several nurses and subordinates, and the group came to Zhaozhuang Village in this way.

"Oops!" Mu Xiwen patted his head, "I took a fork in the road and turned to the next village." ”

Zhang Yingan opened the sedan curtain and looked curiously at the people serving in the distance, his round face full of excitement. "It's okay, it's servitude, right, I've never seen it. What are they digging for stones? ”

Mu Xiwen smiled, "Since Brother Zhang is curious, let's take a closer look." ”

The June day was already very hot, the hot wind was blowing on people, and the sun overhead stood diligently, without any intention of dereliction of duty.

"1-2-up-" came the muffled voices of the men in the ditch, gritting their teeth and picking up a basket of heavy stones, leaving a deep mark on their tanned shoulders.

Wei Ziyin lowered his head and loaded the stones, while thinking in his heart.

He noticed the problem on the first day he arrived, and it was definitely not what it should be every three years. But the work they are doing now is not fake, the boulders brought from the quarry are real, and it is also true that they cut the boulders into large stones.

If the stones weren't used to strengthen the levees, where were they transported?

His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden shout from ahead, and when he looked up, he saw an old man of about fifty years old who had fallen into a pile of rubble, and the sharp stone had cut through his palm. The old man's face was painful, and the people around him were just about to reach out to help him, when a sharp long whip broke through the wind.

"Smack-" The flying gravel hit the corner of the old man's eyes, and the old man suddenly covered his face and wailed.

"Get out!" The beating officer had an expression of excitement and anger at the same time, "A bunch of rubbish! Just know to be lazy! The magistrate takes care of you eating and drinking, that's how you work? ”

The people around him pursed their lips, which were already chapped to the point of bleeding, and finally silently took a step back.

Recognizing that the official who beat people was Zhang Er, who had been making things difficult for him, Wei Ziyin's eyes were as cold as ice.

Zhang Er swept around proudly, no one dared to question him, and he suddenly felt proud in his heart. He pinched the long whip, ready to teach the old man in front of him a lesson, so that these untouchables would know how powerful he was Zhang Er!

"Tell you to get out—" The scolding stopped abruptly. A slender hand lay between him and the old man, stopping the swift whip for the old man.

Looking at Wei Ziyin, who dared to stop in front of the old man and stretched out his hand to stop the long whip, the sense of sadism in Zhang Er's heart became stronger and stronger. He smiled and asked, "Wei Ziyin, do you want to be whipped for this old thing?" ”

Wei Ziyin said coldly: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, he is so old, why do you have to be like this?" ”

In the crowd, Zhou Changhe looked at Wei Ziyin anxiously. He is not in his first year of service, so he naturally knows that the most important thing to offend every time he serves is these officials, although they have no real power, they can make you miserable.

In previous years, few of the "blue-eyed" people who received the official service could go back with all their beards and tails. If something happens to Wei Ziyin, how can he participate in the imperial examination, and what will Awen do?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and stood up and walked to Wei Ziyin's side, making a clear posture of "supporting his waist", and dozens of villagers from Xihe Village inside looked at each other and walked out together.

Although I was afraid that I would offend the officials somehow when I was in the service, if the people of a village were not united and did not know how to twist into a rope to fight against the people of the same village, it would be the most terrible.

For a moment, everyone at the embankment stopped what they were doing.
