Xu Xiangxiong had already gone completely crazy, tearing and biting like a mad dog, standing beside Xiao Yueming, the county lord who was as well-behaved as a child, immediately scolded loudly:

"Xu Xiangxiong, who gave you the courage to dare to rush into the adult!

In an instant, just because Xiao Yueming's identity was made public, the situation suddenly reversed, and the invincible Xu Xiangxiong became a prisoner, and the scheming county master could just put all the blame on him and pick himself clean, and Xu Xiangxiong became the saddest person present.

"Xu Xiangxiong slandered good people, did many evils, did evil things on weekdays, and even threatened witnesses to give false testimony, which is simply an unforgivable crime, and the lower officials will definitely severely punish this person. ”

Xiao Yueming waved her hand and said indifferently:

"Since this Xu Xiangxiong is from Jiyang County, it is naturally under your control, these miscellaneous things, I have no interest in it, and now that the person has been rescued, it is inconvenient to bother more. ”

Xiao Yueming didn't care about the mistakes, the county lord was happy in his heart, what kind of character is Xiao Yueming, not only has excellent painting skills, but also is a friend of the top royal family, if he wants to care, all the officials in Juyang County will be buried together.

The hearts of many people can be described as mixed, Xu Xiangxiong, who has been arrogant for several years, finally met the behemoth, and planted his head, everyone looked at Xu Xiangxiong with a stunned and confused look, and felt like a dream.

Nodding to Er Mazi, just as the three of them were about to leave, they heard a cry full of misery coming from the crowd.

"Ask Lord Xiao to be the master of the grass people!"

In the crowded crowd, a clearing was dispersed, an old man with gray hair, wearing tattered clothes, knelt on the ground, and the county lord standing behind Xiao Yueming couldn't help but tremble when he saw this old man, and scolded secretly:

"Damn, this dead old man is a living pariah!

Xiao Yueming's figure was stunned, and she sighed secretly, knowing that this was a person who had nowhere to redress her grievances, and complained to herself.

The people around him were quiet, and many people knew what had happened to the old man, and when he saw the gray-haired old man, two tears flowed on the old man's face, and he loudly told his grievances:

"Lord Xiao, the county magistrate of Jiyang County, knew that the daughter of the grass people was outstanding, so he ordered his officers and soldiers to forcibly take him home and become concubines. ”

The county master was panicked, and hurriedly bowed down and hurriedly explained:

"Lord Xiao, don't listen to one-sided words, Xia Guan and her are in love with each other, how can you force the abduction, Xia Guan is really wronged. ”

These dirty and filthy acts are really countless, Xiao Yueming really didn't have this idea, and forcibly stopped these responsibilities that did not belong to him, and many people saw that someone had started, and they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said their grievances.

"The three houses of the grass people were forcibly occupied by the government half a year ago, and now the grass people are a family of three, and they can only sleep on the streets. ”

"The patrol officer innocently broke my father's legs, and he can only be paralyzed in bed until now, please let Lord Xiao call the shots!"

The whole scene was chaotic, and the grievances of many years all broke out at this moment, and the county lord trembled and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve robe, but he really didn't know how to justify.

Looking sideways at the county lord who was at a loss, Xiao Yueming said calmly:

"Lord County Commander, it seems that the people are dissatisfied with you, the county official. ”

The county magistrate immediately knelt on his knees, and said in a trembling tone:

"Yes, it's the subordinate who is incompetent, please punish Lord Xiao. ”

waved his robe, Xiao Yueming did not intend to help these so-called innocent people to get back justice, he was not a person in the court, he was just a chivalrous man, he did not have this duty, besides, if one or two people had grievances, Xiao Yueming could still consider it, but now the hundreds of people kneeling in front of the county government have to complain, so how can Xiao Yueming help?

Xiao Yueming frowned tightly, he didn't expect it to be such trouble, not to mention being calculated, these people still had to entangle themselves and couldn't get out, suddenly, a somewhat special grievance came into Xiao Yueming's ears.

Xiao Yueming, as an ordinary second-rate martial artist, naturally has extraordinary hearing, and under the worried face of the county master, he muttered for a moment, Xiao Yueming pressed his palm, and used his internal force to say loudly:

"Quiet ......"

Xiao Yueming's voice was strong and powerful, and the people who were gossiping about their grievances all stopped, and the entire county government became silent.

Xiao Yueming looked around at all the people kneeling on the ground, and then slowly spoke:

"Some of you say that the agricultural tax in Jiyang County has been raised to fifty percent, but is there such a thing?"

Suddenly, the people echoed their words:

"That's right, Lord Xiao, the tax is fifty percent, and it simply won't let us live. ”

"The tax stipulated by the Qianlong Dynasty is 30%, and the remaining 20% is that it is greedy for ink by the people of the government. ”

"We have worked hard for a year, and we need half of the amount of food, if we unfortunately encounter a drought and have no harvest, not only do we owe money to the government, but we can't even find food, Lord Xiao save us." ”

Fifty percent of the tax is too high, the unified promulgation of the thirty percent of the tax, is by the imperial city of many officials, together with the discussion of the formula, will not let the entire imperial peasants hungry, now the county order of Jiyang County to modify the policy without authorization, to the big picture, is to disobey the emperor's order!

Xiao Yueming didn't look at the county lord who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and his tone was as calm as water:

"Your courage is not small, and you modify the agricultural tax without permission, this is a crime of deception, and you want to exterminate the nine clans!"

The county magistrate saw a flower in front of him, and felt that the sky was about to fall, so he put his forehead on Xiao Yueming's instep, and said in fear:

"Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao, there are still a lot of gold and silver property in the lower official's family, and the lower official is willing to give it all away, just ask Lord Xiao to help me keep it a secret." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people's expressions darkened, and the truth of the protection of officials and officials, these powerless and powerless little people, could not be clearer anymore.

Xiao Yueming carried it with one hand, the breeze blew, and the black robe moved with the wind, indescribably chic and extraordinary:

"There is no official or position in Xia, but a casual chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes can't get justice for you, but the matter of raising agricultural taxes without authorization in Jiyang County is ironclad, and the next will personally report to Hongjun Shou, think about it, and there will be a result soon." ”

Other trivial matters, Xiao Yueming didn't have the heart to care, but he revised the agricultural tax without authorization, since Xiao Yueming had the ability to help, he didn't want to reduce the burden of some people, but it was just a word.

When all the people heard this, they all looked happy, kowtowed to Xiao Yueming fiercely, and said in an excited tone:

"Lord Xie Xiao, Lord Xie Xiao!"

"Lord Xiao is an upright person, but a great and good man!"

"The people of Quanjiyang County are willing to raise money for the statue of Lord Xiao, thank Lord Xiao for his great kindness to us!"

The hard days of the people are about to pass, and the good days of the county lord are coming to an end, the county lord has a dull face, and sits on the ground with a pop, staring back at the dazzling sun at noon, feeling the warmth that belongs to him at the end......

Occupied a carriage from the county government, the three of them sat in the carriage, and left Jiyang County under the grateful eyes of many people, those officers and soldiers who were ordered by Xiao Yueming to the acupoint, after three hours, the acupoint will be untied by itself, as for the one hundred taels of silver, naturally don't want it in vain.

The three of them sat in the carriage, Xiao Yueming closed his eyes, secretly mobilized his internal force, and slowly flowed up and down his whole body according to the specific course of the Nine Turns Convergence Breath Method, as soon as he had free time, Xiao Yueming would step up his cultivation, because he knew that there was not much time left for him, and for every point of cultivation that was strong, the chance of finding the Soul Breaking Poison Solution was a little higher.

Liu Lin leaned his back on the carriage, after Fang Cai's vomiting blood, his spirit was quite sluggish, seeing that he lowered his head deeply, he didn't know what he was thinking, they had already asked from Xu Xiangxiong's mouth, he only investigated the situation of Liu Zhu's family, but before he could send someone, Xiao Yueming went to the county office.

The dirt road has some potholes, not as smooth as the official road, the carriage is swaying all the way, Er Mazi feels that the atmosphere in the carriage is a little frozen and cold, so he didn't dare to speak, the three of them were silent to each other like this, and they came all the way to Tianyun Village.

The carriage that the three of them rode in was the exclusive car of the county magistrate, which was naturally very luxurious, and the village names of Tianyun Village, where had they seen such a luxurious carriage, they all cast surprised eyes, I don't know which big man this is, what to do in this remote small village.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the small courtyard of Er Mazi's house, Xiao Yueming got out of the carriage first, and then helped Er Mazi to help Liu Lin down, but Liu Lin kept his head down, not daring to look at Xiao Yueming.

Pushing open the courtyard door, the yard is quiet and peaceful as usual, the vegetable field with small vegetables, the warm wooden house, and the hemp chicken walking in the garden, who would have thought that this small home has just survived the catastrophe and almost ended up with a broken family.

As if hearing footsteps, the three of them had just walked into the courtyard, and they saw the old man sitting at the door, with a worried face, groping forward with his hands wildly, and hurriedly moving forward, his tone was full of anxiety:

"Is Lin'er back?"

As soon as Liu Lin saw his gray-haired old mother, he immediately shed two lines of tears, limped forward to hold his mother's hands, and said tremblingly:

"Mother, it's Lin Er who is back, Lin Er is sorry for you and made you scared. ”

The wrinkled old face showed a smile for the rest of his life, and the stone in the old man's heart finally fell to the ground, and he sighed when he saw her:

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
