Guo Tianyi looked at the people of Qingtian Town, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The people on the road are all yellow and thin, as if they have been malnourished for a long time.

When dealing with the rebellion of the princes in Shanxi Province, I often saw such a situation.

Of course, in the larger cities, the situation of the people is slightly better.

Most of the people in the villages and towns are like this.

In ancient times, it was not like in film and television dramas, where there were peaceful and prosperous times everywhere.

Even if ancient China is up and down for 5,000 years, all the prosperous eras add up to less than 300 years.

And the premise of these prosperous times is also very simple, that is, everyone has clothes to wear and can eat a full stomach.

In Qingtian Town, except for the post station, there are very few tiled houses.

Most of the people's houses are still mud houses, and some of them are newly renovated.

"Childe, do you want to go to the post station to rest?"

The mayor of Qingtian Town looked at Guo Tianyi, rubbed his hands and said enthusiastically.

He saw that Guo Tianyi had an extraordinary temperament, and because Qingtian Town was not far from the capital, there was such a son-in-law in the capital.

Although it is the people's money to serve these sons, many sons are still very generous.

As long as the sycophants are filmed and served, the reward is indispensable.

But if there is a reward, life here can be better for a while.

Especially he, the mayor of the town, can live a good life for a long time.

Guo Tianyi naturally knew it, waved his hand and said, "No need, this son will arrive in Fuyuan County before dark, so don't pass by." ”

After speaking, Guo Tianyi turned the horse's head and prepared to leave.

He won't do anything about eating and drinking at public expense.

Of course, he also knew that the little Jiujiu in the mayor's heart would not be pierced.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

Guo Tianyi understands this truth.

"Ugh..."

"Okay then."

"The old man sent the son."

The mayor was a little lost in his heart, and on the surface, he still pretended to be casual and sent Guo Tianyi out of Qingtian Town.

But when the mayor saw more than 100 horses parked outside the town, he was stunned.

How can an ordinary boy bring so many guards?

Could it be...

When the mayor reacted, he had already seen Guo Tianyi leave with the guards.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, he is His Royal Highness the Prince..."

The mayor trembled with excitement, and hurriedly knelt down in the direction where Guo Tianyi left.

An ordinary boy will definitely not have more than one or twenty guards with guards.

If you come from the capital, it is illegal for a guard group of more than 50 people.

And these people were extraordinary, far surpassing the ordinary guards he had ever seen.

"Mayor Town, you said he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Oh my God, we actually met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Mayor Mare, this can't be fake, right..."

"Mayor Mare..."

The surrounding entourage spoke one after another, and there was an indescribable look of excitement in everyone's eyes.

"Nonsense."

"There can be so many guards."

"And the horses ridden are all Western Regions BMWs, who else can it be besides His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"Don't forget, this is the fief of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and ordinary officials are polite to us..."

As soon as the mayor finished speaking, the rest of the people also knelt down, and they all believed the mayor's words.

And so it is.

This was originally the fiefdom of the Han king.

Ordinary officials and rich sons don't dare to make mistakes when they pass by.

Guo Tianyi's temperament and the number of guards are far beyond ordinary people, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, who else can travel with hundreds of guards?

Not long after, Guo Tianyi approached Fuyuan County.

Although it is a county seat, it is also a small town the size of several Qingtian towns.

Compared to the majestic capital and some prefectures, it is still very small.

The walls are not high, but they have a quaint feel everywhere.

"What's going on up ahead?"

"Marriage in the middle of the night?"

Before Guo Tianyi arrived at the city gate, he saw a team beating gongs and drums on the official road.

Strangely, this team is clearly a team to send relatives.

And the song is not festive, but desolate.

Even the leader had a serious face.

What's even more bizarre is that they beat gongs and drums all the way, and they even sprinkled paper money.

In addition, it is now dark, which makes people feel like they are oozing.

"Your Highness, the last general will go and take a look."

When Fan Xiong heard Guo Tianyi's words, he immediately asked for help.

Guo Tianyi said "um" and said loudly, "Go and go back quickly." ”

"The last will obey."

Fan Xiong bowed his hand, and then rode his horse to the front of the team to send off his relatives.

The team sent off relatives and saw Fan Xiong and the others immediately stopped, the leader of the team did not speak at first, and when he saw Fan Xiong pull out the saber on his waist, he was immediately frightened and bloodless, and knelt down.

When he learned of the situation, Fan Xiong's face was covered with a layer of frost.

Immediately, the bride sitting in the sedan chair was invited out, and was brought to Guo Tianyi by Fan Xiong together with the team leader.

"The folk girl Chen Qiao'er sees the son." The bride is pitiful, only seventeen years old, today is the darkest day of her life, at this moment when she learned that the person in front of her can make decisions for her, as if she had encountered a life-saving straw, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"If you have any grievances, tell my son-in-law." Fan Xiong said majestically, "My son-in-law will definitely be able to help you redress your grievances." ”

"Childe, please save the little girl..."

Chen Qiaoer cried and knelt on the ground to explain the matter one by one.

It turned out that she was originally a woman in the villages around the county seat, but she was chosen by the county magistrate and became the object of the secret marriage.

Half a year ago, the county magistrate's three-year-old son unfortunately died.

The county magistrate missed it too much, and even held a secret marriage for his dead son.

There were many such things in ancient China, especially in the Tang and Song dynasties, and they were less common in the Qing Dynasty.

But what is outrageous is that this county magistrate of Fuyuan County has held six secret marriages.

Today's Chen Qiaoer is the sixth time.

Basically, it is held once a month.

And a woman from a normal family is unwilling to marry a dead person, but the county magistrate coerced and lured, and ordinary peasant people couldn't resist the temptation and would marry their daughters.

In fact, those who marry have become the playthings of the county magistrate.

Chen Qiaoer's sister was the object of the last secret marriage.

But unfortunately, Chen Qiaoer's sister happened to tell Chen Qiaoer about these things.

If the woman refused, she would be severely beaten at least and beaten to death.

All women who have married in the past dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Chen Qiaoer knew the reason, so she washed her face with tears, and her heart was like ashes.

"Nobleman, Qiao'er doesn't want to marry the county master, beg the nobleman to be the master of Qiao'er..."

She knew that if the son in front of her didn't help her, her life would be over.

"Bastard!"

"How can it be?"

Guo Tianyi's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "Fan Xiong, erect a lonely talisman and enter the city!" ”

"No!"

After Fan Xiong received the order, the guards behind him immediately raised the honor guard talisman that he had brought when he left the city.

When they saw the prince's talisman fluttering in the wind, the entire send-off team was stunned.
