The room with the window open, because there was no light, still looked dark under the only little moonlight.

The blind man sat at the table, and there were a lot of documents on the table, useful and useless, a lot of them, which he needed to sort out and classify.

Suddenly,

Her body trembled slightly,

There was a solemn look on his face.

A strong killing intent suddenly appeared from the location of the back house, and although it was well controlled, it was still sensed by the blind man Bei, who had the ability to explore mental power.

However, in the blink of an eye, this killing intent quickly annihilated and disappeared completely.

At the first time, the blind man Bei could tell who the owner of the killing intent was.

But he didn't know if this killing intent was captured by himself or deliberately...... leaked to yourself.

It's also not clear,

This killing intent,

In the end, to yourself,

Or to him...... Old father.

…

…

early morning

The first rays of corrupt sunlight shone into the room,

subsequently

It is corruptly dressed, corruptly washed, corruptly eaten,

Even when you have walked out of the room and into the courtyard,

Zheng Fan could still smell the residual smell of corruption on his body.

Today's teaching is about to start, and when I think of Liang Cheng's nails yesterday, I suddenly feel that the whole person is not good.

"Ahh

Zheng Fan sneezed, his eyes a little astringent.

I sniffed my nose and felt the smell of fire in the air, and when I looked up, I could see the ashes swirling in the sky.

Is this burning stubble?

Not to mention that the season is not right now, even if it is burned, it is impossible to pile it up in the city to burn, right?

It just so happened that Zheng Fan saw Fangcao walking in front of him with a cloth in his hand, and when he stopped to salute him, Zheng Fan opened his mouth and asked:

"What's burning outside?"

Fangcao was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and replied:

"Back to the master, it's a lot of families outside who are burning paper money."

"Qingming Festival is not here, could it be a specific festival here?"

In this world, at least in the eastern region, the cultural customs are no different from the world where Zheng Fan was before, but if there is an extra festival similar to the Qingming Festival in a year, it doesn't seem too strange.

"No, master, it's the people who were sent out to transport the baggage last time have returned."

Zheng Fan's mouth opened, and the picture of the barbarian cavalry rushing into the baggage camp that night resurfaced in his mind, all of this seemed to happen yesterday, but in fact, it had been a long time since the night attack ended.

"It's back...... How many came back? ”

"It seems that there are only two or three hundred people, so starting this morning, many families in the city have started to hold funerals."

"Oh, well, okay, you go get busy."

"Yes, master, you have something to command."

Fangcao blessed Zheng Fan slightly, hugged the things and left.

Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, last time the Zhenbei Hou Mansion requisitioned two or three thousand people from Hutou City, and only one tenth of them could come back;

It is conceivable that at this time, how many families in Hutou City are mourning.

Moreover, the pillars of the family have not returned, even in modern times, the main labor force of the economic pillar of a family is gone, and it is not easy for the remaining women to support a family, not to mention the current environment, which is equivalent to the collapse of the family.

"Lord?"

Siniang's voice came from behind Zheng Fan.

"Whew...... It scared me. ”

"The slave family is abrupt, but the slave family has already shouted the master several times, and the master himself is thinking about it, and he didn't hear it."

"Well, I was thinking about it just now."

"Lord, have you taken a fancy to the herbs?" Siniang suddenly asked.

"Hmm...... What? ”

Zheng Fan's brain circuits can't keep up with Siniang's speed.

"Yes, didn't the Lord just see the grass and froze, Lord, if you want, Siniang will arrange it for you tonight, and let her wait for the Lord in the quilt by herself."

"Isn't she Ah Ming's person? I heard that she has a good relationship with Ah Ming. ”

"It's good, the revenge of killing my father."

"Forehead ............"

"Besides, Ah Ming won't care about these things, he is not interested in women, as long as the Lord wants to, Fangcao himself must be willing.

The slave family is very accurate in looking at people, she is a master who wants to climb up, give her a chance, she may be able to be a Wu Meiniang or Zhen Huan.

In her heart, she may indeed be a little interesting to Ah Ming, but Ah Ming has no feelings, and estimates that in the future, she will successfully go to the bed of the Lord and become the mother of the master, and she will love and hate Ah Ming.

At night, while trying to please the Lord, during the day, in front of Ah Ming, he looked dignified and watched Ah Ming perform the motherly salute to himself.

Then Xue San and the others said some rumors on the side, which happened to reach the ears of the Lord, and the Lord had an opinion on Ah Ming, and specially sent Ah Ming to carry out dangerous tasks;

Yerba grass will be very aggrieved, will be very painful, will complain in front of you, and will become thinner and thinner;

But you still ignore her, and even secretly order the blind man to go north to kill Fangcao.

Then, on the day when the blind man made his move, his mental power was used as a B-ultrasound, and he found that Fangcao had a ...... in his stomach."

"............" Zheng Fan.

As if she felt that she was talking too much, Siniang immediately waved her hand, gently slapped herself a few times, and said:

"The slave's mouth is broken, and the master is not to blame. The scenes in the harem drama, aren't they all coming like this, thinking about it makes the slave family excited, oh hehehe......"

Zheng Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Siniang,

Road:

"You think too much, I just learned that there are many families out there who are mourning."

"Oh, this matter, it's like this, Lord, you and Ah Ming returned to the city late at night, and they came back directly after being given an official position after making meritorious service.

The remaining folk husbands seemed to be waiting for the Zhenbei army to destroy the Shatuo tribe and then be responsible for escorting the spoils of war, and only after everything was over, they were able to return on their journey, and the lord You are all riding horses, so they came back a few days earlier than them.

Moreover, the news was actually controlled above Hutou City before, although there were some gossip that there were many people who died this time, but as long as there was no definite news coming, everyone still had a little luck and hope in their hearts.

No, the rest, that is, the survivors, have returned, and those who have not come back ......"

"That's right." Zheng Fan nodded thoughtfully.

"It is estimated that after a while, Hutou City will open its household registration again."

"Open Household Registration?"

Zheng Fan remembered that he and the people under him had household registration books in Hutou City, and they all belonged to the sequence of the "old Zheng family".

"Yes, my lord, because of the Yan State system, the local population land, especially the border counties like Beifeng County, the population and land controlled by the monarch are not as much as those gate lords.

This time, too many people have died, and Hutou City should absorb a group of displaced people to make a register like the last time it treated us, otherwise there will be no way to guarantee the tax on labor in the future. ”

Perhaps, the people of later generations have become accustomed to the state of state power controlling and intervening in everything, but in this world, especially under the system of Yan Kingdom, where the monarch is more like the leader of the gate lord, he has to face the embarrassing situation of sharing the country with the gate valve.

This is why the Yan State obviously has the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, which is feared by the other three major countries, and at the same time, it also has a good external environment where the desert barbarians are scattered, but it still has no way to launch a war for hegemony from north to south.

These gate valves, their foundation and years of existence, are even older than the royal family of Yan Kingdom, and if there is really a day when Yan Kingdom does not exist, they may continue to stand strong.

In the ancient times of the world that Zheng Fan was familiar with, during the Wuhu Chaohua period, the court of the Jin Dynasty had already crossed eastward in disgrace, and the Hu people sang and I took the stage and wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, but under the rule of the Hu people, there are still many gate valves, they still live their lives behind closed doors, the court wants to beat the Hu people, they don't care, the court was beaten away by the Hu people, they don't care, on the contrary, those Hu people want to rule a good place, and they have to use the power of these gate valves, and the days are still nourishing.

For Hutou City, there is a good thing here, that is, the land of Beifeng County is not fertile, and there is not much fertile land, so the local gate valve demand for population is not as great as that of the mainland, and at the same time, Hutou City has developed industry and commerce because of business and trade, so every year, many displaced people will gather here to eat.

There is no group of people, and another group of people are accepted, and the mode of cutting leeks has not changed, but the eating is too direct.

"Lord."

At this time, Liang Cheng walked in through the front door.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Fan asked.

"A guard has just come to spread the news, asking the lord to gather in the yamen before noon, saying that it is an order from the county order."

"Is there something wrong?" Zheng Fan frowned slightly.

Originally, the chubby envoy had given him ten days off, but now there were still a few days left.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, Zheng Fan could only change into a more serious clothes, find out some identity documents and prepare, and then accompanied by Liang Cheng, the two rode to the gate of the county office.

Liang Cheng naturally couldn't get in, and Zheng Fan took out his identity documents and gave them to the two guards for inspection, and was introduced into the yamen hall.

After entering, Zheng Fan realized that he seemed to be a late compatriot, because the hall was already full of people.

Some people are wearing armor, some people are wearing homely casual clothes like Zheng Fan, and some are pot-bellied, looking like a rich man.

But these people present all have the official body of a school captain.

Some are real differences, and some are false titles.

More than half of them are still the heads of the house in the dock fort near Hutou City.

In short, Zheng Fan didn't know any of these fellow captains, and the only one who knew him before and could call out his name also died outside the city two days ago.

Oh, by the way, for Wang Lijia's funeral, the blind man Bei also sent the foundation gold in the name of Zheng Fan.

The rebuke has come to the lord,

When the greeting envoy came in,

Only then did you realize that

Yo, the old county order is also here.

Because the solicitation made the adult too fat, he walked in front and completely covered the old county order.

Zheng Fan couldn't help but think in his heart, if he suddenly rebelled and killed people at this time, he must hide behind the envoy, such a large piece of human flesh shield, there is no need to use it in vain.

After seeing Zheng Fan standing on the outermost side, he smiled at Zheng Fan, and then stepped into the hall.

The two adults sat down in the first place, and the lieutenants below were all standing, without chairs.

After the lord sat down, he began to look at his nose and nose, as if an old monk had settled down and gone out of the world.

The old county commander coughed a few times first, and a smile appeared on his face,

Road:

"I summoned everyone here this time because I have good things to tell you."

"My lord, but the reward from the imperial court has come down?"

"But the imperial court's food and salary this year have arrived?"

"My lord, I didn't get much food last year, and I can't go on this day, so I must not be left behind this time, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the people below when I go back."

"Yes, my lord, you must not miss me this year, the soldiers under my command are almost unable to eat."

"Don't panic, don't rush, don't hurry."

The old county commander pressed his hands down and continued very kindly:

"This is a good thing, everyone has a share, everyone has a share."

"My lord, what the hell is going on?"

"That's the case, isn't this a war a while ago, our Hutou City was ordered by the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and thousands of people were requisitioned to help transport the baggage, but the troops were dangerous, and many good sons and daughters were not on the battlefield, alas, as soon as I thought of this, the official's heart was panicked."

It's a politically correct topic,

Everyone present, including the envoy who sat on the top seat and traveled outside the world, also wiped the eye feces from the corners of their eyes, and cooperated with the county order to finish the rhythm of this bitter love scene.

"The men in the family are gone, and some families will not be able to hold on, and the good hall in our Hutou City has received nearly 300 dolls from nursing to seven or eight years old in one day.

These are all orphans, some of them are no one at home, and some of them are because their mother wants to remarry or the family can't afford to support them, and their husbands are gone, so they send the baby over.

It is expected that the day after tomorrow will send more dolls.

Therefore, this is for this purpose.

We Yan people have always believed in many sons and many blessings, this official, this time I should send Guanyin again.

You say,

Isn't that a great thing?

This official has sent a baby to everyone, so that you can be a father. ”

"............" the audience.
