"If you go back to Gongzi, you are all the eunuchs of the West Factory who killed a thousand knives!" The old man couldn't cry.

West Factory?

Chen and the others looked at each other and turned their gaze to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was silent, his eyes were like a deep pool.

The old man continued: "Xiao Lao'er's family was originally attached to a large family, helping them farm and take care of their fields, and their lives were still passable. ”

"And then?" Hong Kui was anxious, and asked questions without waiting for the old man to finish speaking.

"Then the group of eunuchs from the West Factory came, saying that they had to pay additional taxes, and the huge amount was simply jaw-dropping!"

The old man couldn't cry directly when he said this: "Under such a harsh exploitation of the main family, I can't survive anymore, so I can only dismiss us." ”

"But we have been farmers for generations, what can we do when we go out? cough cough cough ......"

When Chen heard this, he returned to the carriage and took out some dry food, sent it to the old man, and ordered the guards to bring a pot of water.

"Don't worry, man, speak slowly."

The old man drank a little water, ate some more things, and then under Chen's encouraging eyes, he sent all these things to the people behind him.

"Come on, eat slowly, don't choke."

The women in the team patiently grinded the dry food into powder by hand and mixed it with water for the children to consume.

The old man slowed down for a while, and then said: "The young man in the family couldn't stand this anger, so he went to them to theorize, and the result was ...... As a result, they were beaten to death! ”

Woowoo......

Speaking of this, the women and children behind him all began to cry.

"The injuries on the children's bodies were also injured by the minions of the gelding dogs of the West Factory during the escape!" The old man looked at the ignorant little girl, and the pain on his face was overflowing.

"Uncle, then why don't you go to the rest of the big families?" Lu Yun was puzzled.

Qingzhou is a large agricultural state, and there are countless fertile fields that can be cultivated, so it stands to reason that this family will not come to this point.

"This son, you don't know anything! Those eunuchs in the West Factory are greedy, and the slightly wealthy people are all targeted by them, except for those with backgrounds, no one else can escape! ”

The old man beat his chest and said.

Lu Yun took a deep breath, he understood that the boundary of Qingzhou, especially the eastern part of Qingzhou, was very problematic, what did the third prince have to do?

This is true of the wealthy, let alone the poor peasants.

Those with a bit of background will definitely pass on these costs, and this scene has happened countless times in the vast history of previous lives.

Lu Yun gave some coils to the old man, and treated the wounds of the injured child a little, so that he said goodbye to the family.

Along the way, the convoy was silent.

As Tianchen Villa got closer and closer, Chen's eyes became more and more anxious.

On the one hand, it is more timid to be close to home, and on the other hand, it is worried about the recent situation of Tianchen Villa.

After a few more days, Tianchen Villa was finally close at hand.

It is said to be a village, but in fact, it can also be called a small town.

"Madame, we're almost there!" Hong Kui looked into the distance, raised his whip and laughed.

"Hmm."

Chen nodded heavily, and at this moment, the joy in his eyes still overshadowed the worry.

"Mother! Are we coming? Wu Xian and Wu Yu rushed out of the carriage together.

After receiving an affirmative answer, they wept with excitement for a while.

"It's finally over!"

"Lao Tzu has had enough of these days, and he will not live such a day again when he dies!"

The two brothers of Wufu jumped out of the car excitedly, seeing that hope was ahead, their hearts were full of momentum for a while.

The convoy slowly began to approach the city.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from Tianchen Villa, Lu Yun saw the scenery in front of him from a distance. On the wide flat land, patches of farmland are evenly distributed.

The official road is getting wider and wider, and the road surface is gradually becoming paved with thick stone slabs.

On both sides, there are trees of unknown varieties planted in proportion, and the shade of the trees hangs down, which can be used by many passers-by to stop and take a break in the shade.

Looking at the clothes of those passers-by, Lu Yun's eyes gradually narrowed slightly.

The face is white and beardless, and who should be dressed up, who should be if he is not a factory member of the West Factory?

"I've seen Captain Lu."

Seeing Lu Yun and others coming, these factory servants who were waiting outside the city gate stood up one after another and bowed.

Lu Yun walked over without squinting and put these factory servants aside.

"Miss is back!"

When the guards on duty at the city gate saw Chen coming, they shouted with joy, and one of them immediately went back to report it.

"Everybody's worked hard." Chen greeted the men with a smile.

Lu Yun and the others entered the city smoothly.

He took a deep breath and sniffed out the apparently more moisture in the air, faintly salty.

On the flat ground on both sides, more buildings began to appear. Most of the houses are residential houses, and most of the buildings are inns and restaurants.

It's just that many of them are closed, and the few that are limited to business are also closed.

As the distance gets closer, the surrounding roads converge to form a road that can be walked side by side by four horses.

"How did Tianchen Villa become what it is now?" Chen muttered.

The Tianchen in her impression has always been lively and lively, but now that it has become this situation, those West Factory workers are "indispensable"!

"Little Yunzi."

Thinking of this, Chen grabbed Lu Yun's hand tightly.

"Madame, don't worry." Lu Yun held the back of her hand and gave her an affirmative look.

Chen was relieved.

"Sister, you're back." A large crowd of people came from the end of the official road, and the guard at the city gate before was among them.

"Third brother!"

Seeing his relatives, Chen's eyes suddenly turned red and he hurriedly ran forward.

"Where's Big Brother? Why didn't the eldest brother come. Chen looked left and right in the crowd and did not find a familiar figure.

"Big brother went to personally supervise the fishing on the beach, there is no way, they want too much."

Chen's third brother is named Chen Changze, with a simple face, and a robe woven of brocade and satin can hardly hide his richness when worn on his body.

Speaking of this, Chen Changze also looked around twice to make sure that no one was keeping up.

"Second sister, didn't my brother-in-law come back with you?" Chen Changze asked.

"He's so busy with official business that he can't spare time. Moreover, in the affairs of the West Factory, as a member of the imperial court, it is not good for him to meddle rashly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the saints, which you should also understand. Chen said earnestly.

After speaking, she also glanced at Lu Yun's side.

Chen Changze, as one of the people who spoke in Tianchen Villa, quickly realized something, he hurriedly arched his hand, put on a humble posture and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Chen grabbed ahead of Lu Yun and replied: "This is the captain of Xichang, Lu Yun and Lu Gonggong." ”
