Seeing the Qin family brothers and sisters swaggering away from them, Ah Da clenched his fists tightly.

Si Mo's tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, suppressing the bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

Now is not the time to make a move on the Qin family...

Yun Shu naturally knew what Si Mo was thinking, she took the initiative to take Si Mo's hand, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Bear with me..."

In the novel, it was precisely because the Qin family deliberately delayed time that the Si family's army would be wiped out.

Si Mo's hatred for the Qin family can be imagined.

Just now, Si Mo couldn't help but not kill them, he already had excellent self-control, okay!

Si Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, held Yun Shu's little hand, and laughed silently.

Naturally, he hasn't seen the two children of the Qin family yet, now is not the time to startle the snakes, and let them live for a while longer...

"How about letting someone Qin be the east today and entertain the prince of Qingzhou and the new county guard?"

Qin Shun turned over and dismounted, and clenched his fists at Wang Qingzhou and Si Mo with enthusiasm on his face.

Wang Qingzhou turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Si Mo, "A certain person is naturally willing, but I don't know what the county guard wants?" ”

Si Mo hooked his lips slightly, neither admitting nor denying Wang Qingzhou's title, "Tired..."

The commander of Wei County is actually from the Qin family, which is interesting...

"Please..."

Qin Shun took the initiative to lead the way, and ordered his subordinates to hurry back and prepare.

Ah Da went back to ask Mr. Zhou, those officials from Wei County to accompany him, and the group soon arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

When Mr. Zhou arrived, the banquet had already begun, and Qin Duwei was raising a glass to greet everyone to drink.

"Hurry up, please!"

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Qin Shun immediately put down his wine glass and got up to greet him personally, which can be said to have given Si Mo enough face.

"Sir came just in time, Lord Gunshou and Prince Qingzhou are mentioning you..."

Hearing Qin Shun's address to the young master, Mr. Zhou's eyes rolled, and he didn't break it, he nodded with a chuckle, "There is Lord Lao Duwei..."

"Hey... Sir, that's what you say! It's all my own family..."

"Come... Mr. Respect! I did it, sir, at will..."

Qin Shun's performance was quite bold, and Mr. Zhou glanced at his young master, and drank the wine in the cup with a smile.

Yun Shu sat next to Si Mo, sharing a table with Si Mo, and at first she showed twelve points of interest in the ancient banquet.

But after a long time, the result of kneeling and sitting began to feedback to the body, and her legs were numb!

Yun Shu moved his body slightly, shifting the center of gravity of his body to make his legs easier.

"But tired?"

Si Mo put down his wine glass and turned his head to look at Yun Shu with concern.

Yun Shu pulled out a smile in embarrassment, "My legs are numb..."

People in this era are accustomed to kneeling, whether it is a banquet or a discussion, they are kneeling at separate tables.

Even the furniture is dominated by low couches and low tables, not to mention how awkward.

Si Mo's eyes rolled, and a smile quickly appeared in his eyes, "Actually, I also have some leg numbness..."

"Really?"

Yun Shu's eyes were shining and he looked at the handsome man in front of him, "I thought you couldn't feel it!" ”

"How can you not feel it?! It's just a strong support! ”

Si Mo didn't lie to her, he sat on a comfortable chair with Yun Shu these days, and he was really uncomfortable sitting on his knees at first glance.

Mr. Zhou also felt the same way.

As the saying goes: it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!

It is really an ordeal for a person who has adapted to the comfortable seat now to return to the uncomfortable way of kneeling.

"Let's go..."

Si Mo hooked his lips and smiled, instantly dazzling Yun Shu's eyes.

"Ahh

Yun Shu let Simo pull him up, watched his mouth close and said goodbye to Qin Shun one by one.

It wasn't until he was pulled out of the banquet hall that Yun Shu came back to his senses.

"Let's just go?"

Yun Shu was put on the back of the dark cloud by Si Mo with a worried face, "Is it okay for Mr. Zhou to be alone?" ”

"Naturally!"

Si Mo was in a good mood and walked towards the street with the dark clouds, "The food in the Duwei Mansion is very unpalatable, I'll take you to eat donkey meat on Chengbei Street..."

"You're so nice..."

Yun Shu immediately narrowed his eyes happily, and he had no other thoughts in his heart.

Si Mo's words can be regarded as saying to Yun Shu's heart, the meals in the Duwei Mansion are all some large meat dishes, and they will soon be cold in this weather.

The cold meat is hung with white fat, which really makes people not have the courage to put down the chopsticks.

In addition to meat, there are also a few plates of delicate pastries, but those pastries are also very greasy and need to be eaten with hot tea.

Yun Shu couldn't get used to eating at all, so he just held on to his rumbling stomach until now.

The donkey butcher shop in the north of the city is deserted, and the door is only half open, and the store does not seem to have any intention of opening.

"Anyway, this is the main street of Xincheng..."

Yun Shu turned his head and glanced around the street, "Why is it so depressed?" ”

Along the way, not only this donkey meat restaurant, but also a few shops are still open on the entire street.

Many stores have locks on them, and even a few stores have wide open doors, but the inside is empty, as if they have been emptied.

Si Mo's face was rarely a little more dignified,

He expected that Wei Jun would be choked by the rebel army and the Seven Princes, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.

"Let's go in..."

Si Mo pushed the door with Yun Shu, and the small storefront was empty, and even some chairs had not been put down.

"Is the store available?"

Si Mo raised his voice and shouted, and without waiting for the store to greet him, he took Yun Shu to find a table and sit down by himself.

"In..."

The shopkeeper's voice came from far and near, and soon a thin man trotted over with his hands wiped his hands.

"I'm really sorry, we didn't prepare donkey meat in our store today, you see..."

Yun Shu pretended to be curious and looked at the store, "Isn't it just to open a store to attract customers?" Why don't you prepare the ingredients in advance? ”

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "Then you have to have it!" ”

"All the livestock that can be slaughtered in the nearby villages were sent to the Seventh Prince by the former county guard in the name of rewarding the army..."

"We really can't find the ingredients, this store will definitely not be able to open..."

Yun Shu's brows furrowed slowly, "Is this the case with the shops on this entire street?" ”

"It's not like that, but it's not far off."

The shopkeeper sighed, "It's not a secret, a while ago, the Seven Princes wantonly looted Wei County, and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were increased by fifty percent..."

"Because of the famine in the Northland, we don't have much food in our hands, how can we stand this!"

The shopkeeper's face became more and more gloomy, "The people who have a way are gone, and those of us who have no way can only wait here to die slowly..."

"Isn't the Seven Princes already gone? Why are you leaving? ”

Yun Shu's fists have won, so what is the Seven Princes is really not a thing.

"Although the Seventh Prince is gone, the tax has not been lowered, so what is the way to live if you stay here..."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but touch a handful of tears when he said, his homeland is hard to leave, who wants to leave his family and business to seek a future elsewhere?

It's not that I'm forced by this world to live...

Yun Shu and Si Mo glanced at each other, "The shopkeeper is relieved, now that the new county guard has taken office, presumably the tax will return to normal in a few days." ”

The county warden is the chief executive of a county and has absolute say in the taxation of the county.

Not to mention the resumption of taxes, it is not difficult to reduce some of them.
