Lu Xiaosi was very relieved of Lu Quan, and he was not afraid that he would make trouble and not pay the imperial grain.

But he forgot that their small Xinzhuang is one, as long as someone makes a fuss and refuses to pay the grain, everyone will be unlucky together.

"Mother...... Mother......"

The sun had just moved west, and Li Cancan ran all the way home crying, "Mother, my father was arrested and sent to prison." ”

"What?" Aunt Li, who was busy in the vegetable field, thought that she had misheard, so she stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed the plum cans. "What did you say?"

Li Cancan's tears and snot made a snot on his face: "My father...... My father was arrested by the official messenger, saying that he did not pay the imperial grain and would go to prison. ”

"How so?"

Qiu Shi also ran from his own vegetable field to the Li family's vegetable field in a panic, and asked as he ran, "Cancan, what about my Xiaoqing and her father?" ”

"All of them were arrested, and the officials arrested everyone." Li Cancan opened his mouth and howled, "Mother, hurry up and pull our family grain to hand over the imperial grain, otherwise my father will be beheaded." ”

"Fart." Aunt Li slapped Li Cancan's head, and regardless of the fact that her most beloved youngest son was beaten and fell to the ground by herself, she hurriedly ran home, "Tantan, Li Tantan, go and see, go and see what happened to your father." ”

The entire Xiaoxinzhuang people were alarmed.

How could he be arrested by an official? Didn't you say to go to a meeting?

Even if you hand over the imperial grain, you have to give everyone time to raise food, how can you say that you will catch it?

Before everyone could run to Zhuangzi in the village, the village was already running panting with a few people: "You guys are ...... Let's find a way to raise food, several of the old and young masters of Xiaoxinzhuang have been arrested by the poor master. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Lu Yangge held the crumbling Qiu clan and looked up at Murazheng, "Uncle Murazheng, how could my father be arrested by the officials?" ”

Mura Zheng gasped heavily: "It was the two people in your village who said that there was no food at home and refused to pay the public grain, and then the poor master arrested several of them." ”

Lu Yangge continued to ask: "Didn't my father say that he wouldn't pay the imperial grain?" ”

"Nope."

Muramasa glanced at the child who was not yet as high as his chest, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he muttered in his heart, is there no adult in this small Xinzhuang, let a child come to ask.

"Your father didn't say that he wouldn't pay it, but because there were two households in your village who were making a fuss about not handing it over, so the words collided, and the official sent everyone who went to Xiaoxinzhuang to the town."

Grandma Chen was on crutches and rushed over with Chen's shaking arm: "Why was you arrested if you didn't say you wouldn't hand it over?" ”

"Isn't that a fuss?" Mura Zheng looked innocent, "I didn't expect the official to arrest people, who knows, just say a few words, those few messengers will arrest people when they come up, we can't stop it!" ”

Lu Yangge clenched Qiu's arm, and his little face sank slightly: "Uncle Murazheng, did you only arrest our Xiaoxinzhuang people, or did other Zhuangzi people also be arrested." ”

Qiu Shi came to his senses and asked, "Yes, did only arrest our Zhuangzi, or did others also arrest?" ”

"Only ......" Muramasa glanced at the few men who came with him with an ugly face, "Only the people who arrested Xiaoxinzhuang." ”

This time, the Qiu family didn't need to be reminded by Lu Yangge, and then asked, "Then have you paid the rest of the imperial grain on the Zhuangzi?" ”

One of the men who followed the village answered honestly: "How is it possible, who knows that we have to pay the emperor's grain, and our family has no food." ”

Qiu pressed step by step: "Then the other Zhuangzi have promised to pay the grain?" ”

Muramasa glared at the man beside him angrily, and then turned his face back to full of anxiety: "No, everyone is either in a meeting to discuss, or to discuss the matter of the river work, as well as the matter of the imperial grain, who knows that the big guy said that the rise, those bad masters will arrive." It just so happens that you Zhuangzi people are shouting that you have no grain to pay taxes, and whoever likes to pay will pay. Just like that, the messenger heard about it, and he arrested them. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yangge couldn't help but sneer: "This is to make an example of chickens and monkeys." ”

Li Cancan asked incomprehensibly: "What kill chickens and monkeys, how can I have time to kill chickens now?" ”

"If you don't have time, you have to kill it, otherwise who knows who will fall on the head of this knife." Lu Yangge ignored Murazheng's ugly face and continued to ask, "Uncle Murazheng, I want to ask, if my family gathers all the grain, will my father be able to release it?" ”

Muramasa was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little helplessly: "Ah...... Should...... I guess I can. ”

"Can you?"

Lu Yangge didn't want to be fooled by this vague answer, "If I can, I'll let my mother go back to raise food now, that is, sell land and houses, and we will pay a lot of this imperial grain." Uncle Muramasa, you have to give me a word of approval, can people come out after this grain is delivered? ”

"I ......"

This time Muramasa also hesitated, and he couldn't guarantee it.

Everyone was anxious when they saw that Muramasa didn't give permission to speak: "Didn't you catch it because you didn't pay the imperial grain, didn't you let go of the grain after it was handed over?"

"Yes, shouting that if you don't pay the food, you really don't pay it, you have to give a deadline. How can we arrest all the masters of Zhuangzi? Now that the heads of the families are not at home, where can we women take a few children to raise food? ”

"Yes, the big guy's food hasn't been paid, why do you arrest our people from Xiaoxinzhuang, don't you see that our newcomers are easy to bully?"

Everyone, you say a word to me, forcing Muramasa to give an accurate word.

The village was surrounded by several women, and they only felt anxious. But after he has been working in the village for more than ten years, he can't be embarrassed by a few women.

Seeing that everyone was looking for him to explain, he was so anxious that he shouted: "I came here to deliver the letter and sent it wrong, you rely on this imperial grain and refuse to pay it, as for the head of your family, if you can come out, you have to ask the yamen, I don't count." ”

Qiu still wanted to ask, but was dragged back by Lu Yangge: "Mother, aunts, don't worry, I'll go to town and find someone to ask for news." ”

"You're going? No way. Qiu subconsciously refused, "I'll go, I'll row back and forth quickly." ”

This time, Xiao Si fell ill, which scared Qiu and Lu Quan half to death, if something happened to this child, how could they explain to Lu Zhuang.

Especially Lu Quan, he swore in front of Lu Yuanshan's spirit card, saying that he would take good care of Xiao Si.

"Mother, I'll go."

Lu Yangge squeezed Qiu's hand hard, and secretly gave her a look, "I'll go to the town, and by the way, let Dr. Xie check my pulse, you first collect the family's grain and copper coins at home, and see how much is still missing, this imperial grain must be paid, otherwise my father and they will definitely not be able to come out." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Mura Zheng didn't dislike Lu Xiaosi now that he was a half-old child, he hurriedly said, "You still have to find a way to get together the imperial grain first, as long as the grain is paid, those poor masters can't help but let go." ”

Lu Yangge knew that there was something strange about this time, and Muramasa might have colluded with those officials and deliberately arrested the family members of Xiaoxinzhuang to make an example of them. But now that several family members have been arrested, it is even more inappropriate to turn against Muramasa at this time.
