After Xu Hong gave orders to his subordinates, he quietly pondered in front of the Wang's house.

Two months ago, he had already begged Jingshi for food, and the official documents were sent one by one.

Not a single grain of grain was delivered, and all that was received was that Xu Hong was ordered to do his best to shake the disaster, and no people would starve to death.

It was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she took her people to other states and counties to ask for help.

What Xu Hong didn't expect was that other states and counties were not much stronger than Mizhi County.

Seeing that the situation was not good, many magistrates ran away with food, and the officials were not appropriate, because if they continued, they would be severely punished by the imperial court, and they would not be able to save their heads.

In this way, the people there are even more miserable, and the bark and grass roots have become a luxury.

Xu Hong didn't bring much rations when he went out, and he couldn't see the suffering of the people along the way, so he carefully donated food, and when he returned to Mizhi County, in fact, his group had been hungry for two days.

Xu Hong, who was outside the gate of Wang's house, sighed and clenched the reins again, he didn't know what happened during the time he wasn't in Mizhi County.

As soon as the county Cheng sealed the Wang family's porridge shed, his whereabouts were unknown, making the Wang family bigger.

Thinking like this, Master Wang had already gone and returned, standing in front of Xu Hongma.

Xu Hong took the horsewhip and pointed at Master Wang and said, "You can order the grain." ”

Master Wang looked at Xu Hong, then at the people around him, cleared his throat and said loudly: "My Wang family is willing to give five hundred stones of grain,"

"It's just that the Wang family's porridge still has to be given, not for anything else, just to be able to repay the people, and the Wang family's current achievements are all thanks to the people."

Xu Hong also didn't expect that he would make all kinds of difficulties, and the Wang family would follow.

(One stone is about 150 catties)

The people who were watching from afar also applauded loudly when they heard Master Wang say this.

Looking at the lively people, Xu Hong felt that he had miscalculated, and it was better to drive all the people away.

Xu Hong snorted coldly and said, "With so much grain from the Wang family, give me five hundred stones, how much food is left in the Wang family." ”

Master Wang pondered for a moment and then said: "These five hundred stones are already more than half of the grain of the Wang family, and the origin of the grain is also purchased by the rich families in the city. ”

Xu Hong felt more and more that the Wang family was waiting for him to ask for food, and everything came too smoothly.

Xu Hong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he turned his head to Xu Qiang and said: "Xu Qiang, arrange for someone to bring food back, and leave a team of people to keep an eye on the Wang family, so as not to cause trouble." ”

I still want the food I gave for free.

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and beat the horse away.

When Master Wang saw that Xu Hong had gone so badly, he also sighed and returned to the Wang family in frustration.

……

The county government has been closed since Xu Hong returned.

Lin Yuan and Ai Qing stood in front of the county yamen.

Ai Qing was very scared, he used to study at home, and he had never been here when he was so old.

Lin Yuan looked at the drum of grievances, looking eager to try.

Ai Qing: "Let's go back, it shouldn't be useful for you to find the county order, doesn't he seem to have no way to take the Wang family!" ”

Lin Yuan slapped Ai Qing on the back of the head and said, "Look at your appearance, if you want me to take care of the food, it's not okay to be timid." ”

Lin Yuan, who patted Ai Qing, softened his tone and asked, "Do you know this doorway for the drum of grievances?" ”

Ai Qing said blankly: "I don't know." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know if it's okay, you just knock." ”

Ai Qing gritted his teeth, picked up the drum hammer and knocked it out.

Ai Qing knocked more than a dozen times, feeling that the people inside should have heard it, so he stopped.

Lin Yuan pretended to take a breath and said with a look of admiration: "It's not my little brother, I dare to beat the drum of injustice." ”

"(◦ ̇▽ ̇◦)hahahahahaha~"

Ai Qing felt that something was wrong and was fooled again, so he used a black tiger to dig out his heart.

Lin Yuan dodged and hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble, someone will come out soon." ”

Sure enough, as Lin Yuan said, a few officials opened the door in a moment and ran out depressed.

Seeing that it was two hairy boys, they were also angry, beating the drum and playing?

One of the officials asked, "Why are you beating the drum?" ”

Ai Qing said solemnly: "There are grievances." ”

Officer: "You knocked it?" ”

Ai Qing heard the official asking, and wanted to answer, it was Lin Yuan who knocked it.

But Lin Yuan had already pointed at Ai Qing and said, "He"

…

In this way, Lin Yuan and the others were taken to the county government hall, and there were already two rows of officials standing in the public hall holding water and fire sticks, ready to shout "mighty~" at any time.

There are no onlookers outside, and the people in the city don't have the heart to join in the fun now, and their stomachs are not full, so they have time to join in the fun.

Everything is ready in the court, but the county order is delayed.

Lin Yuan and Ai Qing were asked to wait in the hall.

Ai Qing pulled the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes and whispered, "Why were you so anxious just now that I beat the drum." ”

Lin Yuan said calmly: "I'm afraid of pain!" ”

Ai Qing stared at Lin Yuan with wide eyes, thinking that he had made a mistake and was put on the spot by this kid again.
