"Back to this adult's words, we are the villagers of Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village, the reason why we came here is that a few days ago, the government levy labor, so we went to the Tianmen River Dam to serve, I dare not obey the government's order, so I packed my bags a little and set off, but I didn't expect that when I came here, the sky suddenly changed."

Li Wei replied truthfully, and when he said this, a hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Then he first glanced at the surrounding Yuzhou Wei, who had just saved them and was exhausted at this time, and then gritted his teeth violently, as if he had made up his mind, and continued:

"Originally, the small people saw that the nearby mountains were unstable, and there was a sudden torrential rain, and there was a flash flood, so they made it clear to the Yacha who was in charge of our labor and other things, and suggested that the route be changed, but the guy not only did not allow it, but also scolded the small people on the grounds that the small people were stealing and slippery in a vain attempt to delay the trip, and then forced us to pass through the old and disrepaired folk road first, and they hid behind from a distance to watch, as a result, we waited to the middle, and the mountain mausoleum directly above suddenly collapsed, forming a mountain flood falling, if you didn't arrive in time, I am afraid that we have been buried alive by the mountain flood."

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around and knelt down violently towards Zhang Shiping, who was not far away with a complicated face for some reason.

"Xiaomin Li Wei is here to thank the general for saving the people."

As he spoke, he ignored the mud on the ground and slammed his head on the ground.

"The adults are very kind and virtuous, and the small people remember it in their hearts, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they will do whatever it takes to repay the general."

It was Zhang Shiping who dug him out of the dirt.

In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, so as not to break out again in the flash flood, Zhang Shiping, the strongest person in Yuzhou Wei, had no choice but to put down his body, take matters into his own hands, and dig up the soil with the soldiers to save people.

Obviously, in order to protect the Yuzhou guards, saving them was just a last resort, but seeing Li Wei kneeling down to him so sincerely, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but feel a complicated and indescribable feeling in his heart.

But after a few moments, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Huh?"

In an instant, he realized what was wrong with him.

"No, it's not that this time the flood control will not be levied and labor, but let me and other people in the army assist Xiao Shangshu to quell the flood? Why are they still ......?"

As soon as he thought of this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Lu Chen.

Then, he noticed that Lu Chen's gaze had cooled down at this time.

In his eyes, there seemed to be a cold ice that could not be dissolved for ten thousand years, which made him feel cold all over his body inexplicably.

The look in his eyes was even colder than when he heard his contemptuous remarks about the people before.

"Where is Fang Yu!"

Fang Yu jumped up, instantly fell in front of Lu Chen, bowed down and said:

"The humble position is here, my lordship, please command."

Lu Chen's left hand was behind him, and his right hand was holding the sword of the Extreme Dao, the hilt of the sword of the human emperor that could "go up and kill the sect, punish the subordinates, cut first and then play, and the imperial power was granted", in the supreme power that the blade quietly exuded, he said indifferently: "This fellow guy just said that he shouldn't have gone far now, go and bring him over to see the official." ”

"Humble command!"

Swish!

The moment the words fell, Fang Yu suddenly disappeared in place like a ghost, and after only two breaths, the surroundings could no longer perceive a trace of his voice.

After instructing Fang Yu, Lu Chen looked at Li Wei again.

"This fellow, are you sure that someone from the government went to your village to levy labor?"

Hearing this, Li Wei suddenly felt a little extraordinary.

The scribe in front of him, who was too young to speak, seemed to have an instinctive awe-inspiring majesty in him, which made him subconsciously look away and not dare to look at him.

It was as if he was the one who could really decide the fate of everyone present.

Li Wei shook his head, suppressed the urge in his heart to bow and worship, and then said with a firm face: "Back to the adult, Xiaomin is sure that it is the labor order issued by the government to us, and the one who came to our village to announce this order that day was the county master who would come over in person every time the county government collected taxes. ”

Thinking of the arrogant and domineering appearance of Master Gao before, and thinking of the fellow villager Fa Xiao who was killed by him with great strength like pinching dead ants, a glint of resentment flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and he couldn't help but tell Lu Chen what happened in the village that day.

Lu Chen didn't say a word, the expression on his face didn't change at all, and he just listened to him quietly.

The people who had just escaped death also recalled the tragic experience of being conscripted into forced labor.

Thinking of such a difficult way in the world, and thinking of relatives and friends who had been oppressed to death, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and hid my face and cried bitterly.

Listening to the grief and sorrow of the people, the original pride and inexplicable joy in the eyes of the Yuzhou guards gradually disappeared without a trace, and then they were collectively silent.

These people, who are also their fathers and fellow villagers, are living so miserably now...

Even though his body was so thin and weak, it was so difficult to even walk, and he couldn't even carry a bundle of firewood, but he had to carry his own rations and travel long distances to the Tianmen River Dam, where the weather was getting worse, to do the work that was countless times heavier than chopping wood and carrying water.

It was hard work that even these strong and brave men felt so hard that they felt so strong!

Isn't this sending them to death?

It's just a matter of careless human life!

At this moment, whether it was the big soldiers at the bottom or the officers of hundreds of households, the rejection of the task of suddenly letting themselves go to the dam area to quell the floods was inexplicably smaller.

There are even those who feel that it is the right thing for them to do these things in the army.

After all, they are human beings, flesh and blood, with seven emotions and six desires, and they do not have an iron heart, but people who can empathize with others.

When Li Wei knelt down and cried again, Lu Chen slowly raised his head.

"I know."

And at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind him.

"Ahh

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of a breaking wind, two fat-headed and big-eared figures dressed in yamen uniforms suddenly fell from mid-air, and finally smashed heavily not far in front of Lu Chen.

At the same time, Fang Yu's figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Chen, just like when he left, coming and going without a trace.

"My lord, I am glad that I am not dishonored!"

Lu Chen glanced at him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Fang Yu bowed again, then stepped aside.

Li Wei quickly reacted, subconsciously looked at the two wailing figures on the ground, and after seeing their faces clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of surprise.

Those two people, who else could it be that they used to bully their laborers and deliberately let them risk their lives to explore the way?

'Actually... Really caught them, and so fast! ’

Li Wei raised his head and looked at Lu Chen.

Under the shocked gaze of Li Wei and the others, Lu Chen slowly stepped forward and looked condescendingly at the two yacha with blue noses and swollen faces and muddy bodies.

The two of them soon noticed the approach of the war horse, and immediately couldn't care about the pain in their bodies, hurriedly got up, and then knelt on the ground, and didn't care about seeing the surrounding situation clearly, and directly begged for mercy: "The king spares his life, and all the heroes spare their lives!" The small family has two hundred taels of silver, and is willing to repair a book to the mother-in-law at home, so that she can take two pieces of silver to give to the king, and it will be able to be sent in three days at most, and the king will not kill the small one! ”

"I'm the same!"

Obviously, the two of them regarded Lu Chen and the others as the king of the mountain in a certain cottage, and wanted to spend money to beg for their lives and avoid disasters.
