Fengzhou, Mingsha City, Peach Blossom Village

The dry weather has lasted for more than half a year, and this year is destined to be another disaster year with countless grains, and the ponds at the entrance of the village are dry, not to mention frogs, loaches, and even earthworms can not be seen.

The cracked earth was blown by the wind, and the yellow sand was rolled up.

Once the most precious peach tree in the village, it is also on the verge of dying, if God does not rain again, there will be no peach trees in this peach blossom village again.

In such a bad environment, an old man returned to the village like a thief, and when he entered the house, he hurriedly closed the door, and when his wife saw the old man, she said with a sad face:

"Where did the officials go, they can't even open the pot at home."

"Don't worry, I brought back rice, it's still good rice." The old man carefully took out a small bag of rice from his bosom and handed it to his wife.

"Ah, this is white rice without sand, and now it costs 150 yuan per catty, how can an official spend this money?" The wife was shocked, this is something that is only eaten during the New Year.

"Mother, I want to eat rice." Hearing the rice, the children in the family cheered and ran out.

"Eat, eat, eat, and know how to eat."

"Go in, don't come out."

The woman raised her eyebrows and drove the child in, but the old man gritted his teeth and said:

"It's okay, our family will eat rice today."

"Official, what's wrong with you, where did this rice come from?"

The woman was terrified as to whether her husband had gone out to steal or robbed.

"I took the fields in the field, borrowed money from the landlord Zhao's family, and bought them."

"From today onwards, our family is also Master Zhao's tenant."

The old man clenched his fists and said viciously.

"Official, have you lost your mind? How can you borrow Master Zhao's money, his family's money can't be borrowed, and he will bite his hand."

The woman was shocked, this Master Zhao is a well-known usury, the most exploitative, and the interest rate is also the highest.

"Official, my father-in-law worked hard and died of exhaustion in the field, so he opened up the wasteland and exchanged a few acres of land at home, how can he be escorted out."

"Our family has our own land, and we didn't owe anyone money before, so it's innocent."

"If you borrow the silver from Master Zhao's family, you won't have to live for generations, and your children and grandchildren will be slaves and maids."

The woman chattered endlessly, saying that land rent and imperial grain were not the heaviest burdens for the peasant households, and what was even more terrible was to borrow money from the landlord for all kinds of large expenses, and from then on he could no longer repay the profits, and was exploited for generations.

Just like the Fei family and the Wang family, their biggest source of income is not land rent, but with the help of controlled land, and then lending.

This money lending transaction is the most profitable business since ancient times, but it requires land to make it.

The old man snorted coldly, as if mocking the woman's short-sightedness.

"Afraid of what?"

"It's better than starving."

"There will always be times when someone can't stand it, and then this land will still be ours."

When the woman heard this, she couldn't turn around, and thought that the old man had lost her mind, and hurriedly pleaded:

"Official, what are these words?"

"This rice can't be eaten, so return it for silver."

The old man put the rice on the table, sat on the rickety chair with a golden sword, and sneered:

"This woman is a man of long hair and short in knowledge."

"Our second uncle is from Taiping Village, and he went back to the village a few days ago, you know why not."

The woman shook her head, not knowing.

"Because there is a good man in Taiping Village, named Yan Wuqi."

"He took the villagers, killed the landlord's house, and killed them up and down."

"I heard that even the youngest son of Master Sun's family didn't let go, and he split it in half with a knife."

"What a hero."

"Then the Sun family is gone, what debts and land deeds do you care?"

「

The land in the village will be divided, and the money owed to Master Sun will not have to be repaid."

The old man said with his hands dancing, as if he personally got on the horse and cut down the people of Old Man Sun's family.

"When will there be a few heroes in our village?" When the woman heard this, she couldn't help asking.

"Yes, our family can't survive, and the others will only be more miserable and miserable."

"There's always someone who can't stand it."

"So this money must not only be borrowed, but also borrowed in large quantities!"

"When someone gets up, let's rush into Master Zhao's house."

"Then you don't have to pay back the money."

The old man's words revealed a bit of wisdom and cunning.

You can't get out of the way, after all, the gun shoots the first bird.

But if someone gets up, the courage to follow him to kill the master is not only there, but also great.

"So if you eat white rice today, you have to eat two bowls."

"When you are full, you have strength."

"Yes, sir." The woman hurriedly answered.

Soon, the old man's house cooked a rare white rice, and the family gathered around the table, drooling while silently picking up the rice.

Fragrant, really fragrant.

If only I could eat it every day.

Whether it is a child or an adult, they refuse to waste a grain of rice.

The door was closed tightly for fear that someone would know.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, which startled the old man and his wife, and they hurriedly put away the rice.

"Who?"

"Brother Song, it's me, Xiao Yi, open the door quickly." Brother Yi outside the door knocked twice.

"Xiao Yi, what's the matter?"

"Something happened to the dog."

"Didn't the dog stay in the martial arts hall in Mingsha City? What could happen to him?" Song Laohan hurriedly put Dong XZ right, and then opened the door, and saw that Xiao Yi was sniffing, as if he smelled the rice fragrance, and hurriedly interrupted.

"What the hell happened to the dog?"

"Gou Yu killed someone, killed Master Zhao's housekeeper!"

"Okay, now?"

"I said that I rushed to Master Zhao's mansion." Xiao Yi's tone was a little excited.

"Then why are you still stunned, copying guys." When Song Laohan heard this, he hurriedly picked up the steel fork and rushed out.

"What if Master Zhao wins?" Brother Xiao Yi was a little worried.

"Stupid, let's rush over and watch, if the dog can kill Master Zhao, let's go help him."

"If we can't win, let's say we're here to protect Master Zhao."

"Cheng, let's protect Master Zhao!"

Brother Xiao Yi hurriedly agreed.

Later, I heard that there was a fire in Zhao's house, and for some reason, no one at home ran out.

Such fires are happening everywhere in the land of Fengzhou, and this pressure cooker has reached the moment to explode.

And Chu Qianqiu, who was far away in Lingzhou, had a new task assigned to him by Liu Dutong.

"Qianqiu, Fengzhou will be in chaos, I'm afraid you will enter Beijing as soon as possible."

"Father, what does that mean?" Chu Qianqiu came to the Demon Suppression Tower, heard his father-in-law's words, and said with some surprise.

He didn't expect that he would be going to Beijing so soon.

He hadn't been in Linghu City for a week.

Although from the governor to the political envoy, the *** in Lingzhou has been finished.

"The Windy State is going to be in chaos, and no one can stop this."

"It's not a bad thing for us, though."

Liu Dutong said lightly, and slowly told his plans and speculations about the King Kong Temple.

Chu Qianqiu's eyes widened as he listened.

"Then the Kongo Temple is too unconscionable."

"For the sake of the Great Sun Nyorai Mantra, this sacrifice is nothing to them."

"No matter how many people die in this windy state, they won't die on their heads

, naturally dare to be ruthless."

"The old man has already written a letter and sent it to the Maha Temple."

"I think this will make Kongoji Temple quiet for a few days."

"But we don't have enough evidence right now for the Maha Temple to investigate."

"So the old man is going to let you go to Beijing."

"If you can find out the relationship between this matter and the Prime Minister, then Lao Gao is sure to remove Wang Ji from power and sabotage his joint policy."

So that's the case, now the Shenwei Army doesn't have enough evidence to leverage the power of the Martial Dao Holy Land.

Once it is found out that Kongoji Temple and the Prime Minister have united with the Taoist Temple, or the Buddha and the Demon, the Maha Temple will not sit idly by.

In this way, the balance of power between the imperial court and the Shenwei army can even be reversed.

And Liu Dutong's reason for deciding to send Chu Qianqiu out was also very simple.

Who had ever seen a thing like this in four or five days in Linghu City?

Chu Qianqiu figured out the source, and immediately nodded and agreed

"Yes, Father."
