Leng Ruoya, who was already hungry, smelled the aroma of meat, and rushed to the stove unstoppably to remove the lid of the pot, and there was indeed a large plate of meat cooking in the pot. 【Latest Chapter Reading】

"There's meat—" Leng Ruoya salivated uncontrollably, and reached out to grab a large piece of oily meat and send it to her mouth.

"That's the flesh of an old grandson. An old woman beside her said in a daze: "My little grandson starved to death last night, so I cooked him, oh, the girl is eating now." ”

Leng Ruoya said "wow-", threw away the piece of meat, covered her face and ran out, leaning against the barrier, bending over and vomiting loudly.

Vomiting doesn't stop.

Sheng Xiucai saw it in his eyes and listened to it in his ears, and sighed: "Alas, this place is so barren, what is hateful is that we see that those dog officials in the county town have a big feast every meal, the wine pond and meat forest, dozens of beauties as companions, and the waste of every meal of a seven-grade petty official is at least enough for the five hundred hungry people in front of him to eat for a year, and he really responded to the sentence 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'!"

"Now I can have a bowl of steaming beef porridge, I haven't eaten beef in a long time, it would be better if there was another steamed carp with pork belly. As soon as she thought of eating, Leng Ruoya was unstoppable and said smoothly: "I also want Dongpo elbow, roasted goose, concubine chicken, sauce fat duck, mutton liver soup......"

Ruoya was fascinated and was thinking of her recipe when there was a sudden movement at the entrance of the village.

There was a small group of van troops, about twenty or thirty people, led by a Yu Hou, goose and duck steps, swaggering, so not majestic.

They chose a family, and the leader of the team, Yu Hou, ordered his men to knock on the door vigorously, but when he was a little late to answer the door, he made people bang on the door, and his arrogance was very arrogant.

The family hurriedly opened the door, and the Marquis Yu said loudly: "We are here to urge food on the orders of the Lord Metropolitan Eunuch, come here, search for it, and I will remove all the valuable things and confiscate them." ”

The old couple kowtowed like pounding garlic, knelt down and cried and begged: "Official, Master Gou, didn't you come to have a visit yesterday? Don't embarrass us, we really can't get a grain of rice!"

The surname "Gou" Yu Hou was unmoved and flew up with two feet, kicked away the old couple who hugged his thighs, and his soldiers were even more like wolves and tigers, searching vigorously, and if they found some valuable ornaments, they would take them away immediately, and they would be arrogant and look like robbers entering the house.

There was a baby in the inner room screaming, there was a dog barking outside the door, Gou Yuhou waved his hand, his subordinates immediately started, where the knife fell, "Wang" a rapid short bark, the skinny old yellow dog immediately disappeared.

The old woman cried: "Lao Huang, Ah Huang, you people who have been killed by heaven have killed Lao Huang!"

Hou Gou Yu raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Dead old woman, if you quarrel again, even you will be slaughtered." ”

The old man hurriedly hugged the baby in his arms and covered the baby with his sleeves, fearing that these frenzied officers and soldiers would really kill even children.

Unexpectedly, the Yu Hou surnamed Gou had an idea, snatched the baby over, sharpened the baby's scalp with a sharp knife, and said with a cruel smile: "Fan Baozheng, you are the richest family in this village, tell me quickly, where did you hide your family's money and grain?"

Fan Baozheng knelt down and begged: "Official, official, how can the little old man still have money? My three sons, one for you to arrest Ding, one for you to kill, the remaining one, also scared away, we have no one to plough the field, the stomach is still not enough, please let the uncle release my little grandson, the emperor is above, we really have no money-"

That Gou Yu Hou was evil to the side of the gall, and said with a smile: Your son is gone, don't you still have three daughters! This sister has been staring at Lao Tzu for a long time, and they are all very beautiful, today our brothers are coming in turn, one person does it three or five times, and it is okay to play if you can't do it, what do the brothers say?"

The soldiers under his command laughed lewdly and applauded, and someone rushed into the house and forcibly escaped the three sisters of the Fan family who were hiding inside.

Fighting, crying, pleading, laughing, intimidating, tearing, chaotic.

The baby began to cry again.

Leng Ruoya was shocked when she heard this, and scolded: "!" She was about to rush out.

She only heard Gou Yuhou's roar in her ears, she immediately ran out, Sheng Jintang didn't hold it, so she had to follow her out.

Barren.

Lonely Moon.

Afterscape.

Xiaocun.

I saw Gou Yuhou rolling around on the ground like a pig, and his subordinates were like wolves and tigers, and at this moment they were staggering to the ground, and everyone's faces and hands were full of silver needles

Leng Ruoya was like a lonely cloud, taking Sheng Jintang towards the courtyard.

The ground was covered with a layer of green frost, and an unknown tree protruded from the low wall into the wall, stretching above it. The sparse foliage parted, and a man stood behind him.

A black-robed young woman with a rigid face and long hair and a shawl. In the medicine basket behind her was a medicine hoe and a few herbs that she couldn't name.

The black-robed young woman smiled and said, "Miss Cousin Ling Bo is slight, not shocked, this light skill is really admired." ”

When Leng Ruoya saw it, she recognized that the black-robed woman in front of her was her cousin Ruoqian's adoptive father, the guest Qing Mei Chao Crazy Doctor Mei in the Qinggu Mansion, and couldn't help but be happy: "Sister Mei, why are you here?!"

"Many people in the county town have been infected with the epidemic, and the old man's mansion is helpless, so I came out to try my luck by collecting medicine. Mei Chao said with a black face: "I didn't expect to bump into these beasts, under the guise of collecting grain and urging taxes, persecuting the common people, so I taught them a lesson." ”

Leng Ruoya kicked Gou Yuhou's small boots that rolled to her feet, and then smiled: "Sister has taught her a good lesson!"

At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the top of the cliff: "Ignorant Diao people, attacking and wounding officials, assisting the rebellious people, sin and the nine clans, Cai Yaoyang, the commander of the 'Beiliang' soldiers and horses, is here, and he still doesn't restrain his hands to the law?"

Leng Ruoya and the others looked up, and saw a pair of people and horses standing on the stone wall above, drawing their swords and crossbows in the moonlight. The face of the leader is like red sandalwood, the nose is straight like a shave, the eyes are gloomy and arrogant, and the red clothes and black belt on his body are the clothes of the military attache of the ninth rank of the dynasty.

Leng Ruoya covered her ears and said angrily: "It's noisy, won't you speak quietly?"

Cai Yaoyang, the military attache who was the leader, came out of the horse, glanced at Leng Ruoya, and said coldly: "The following crimes, resisting taxes and plotting chaos is a heinous crime, and none of the people present can get out of it. ”

For a while, the people on the mountain road were noisy and violent, but the group of soldiers were also quite jealous in their hearts, although they shouted lively, they didn't really come forward for a while.

Leng Ruoya floated up, came to the crowd, and asked: "You are all court officials, one person does things and one person is in charge, the noble errand is played by this girl, and it has nothing to do with other people, please don't embarrass the villagers here." ”

Cai Yaoyang glanced at Leng Ruoya, and squeezed out a sneer on his extremely thin lips: "Levying grain and levying Ding, this is a military plan set by Xiangye for my lord saint, and it is related to the survival of the court and the life and death of the country." If you injure the tax collector and deacon, you will openly rebel and be tantamount to rebellion! According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, you will punish the nine clans! If the two of you have nothing to do with this matter, please go back with us obediently, and after asking the truth and dealing with the real murderer, you will naturally accompany the two of you, otherwise they will all be guilty of the same crime as the murderer!"

After Cai Yaoyang finished speaking, his eyes looked around, and when he saw that the three of them did not move, he thought that this discord and intimidation had played a role, and glanced at his subordinates.

Leng Ruoya said with a smile: "The official master is really majestic and majestic, there is no need to work hard, this girl is trying to go to the county seat with a few people." ”

Cai Yaoyang sneered: "Of course you can't run, but others must also go back to testify." ”

Sheng Jintang sighed, Mei Chao smiled indifferently, looked at the mountain road in the distance, and said: "That's the best, I'm about to rush back to the city, and I'm tired of a few people to guide the way ahead." ”

Although they were escorting the murderers, one and a half of the three criminals were from the public gate, and the group of soldiers did not dare to really serve with shackles and ropes, so they only let them walk in front, and their own group followed on horseback from a distance. Although Leng Ruoya and her party were guilty of serious crimes, they didn't care at all, chatting all the way, very leisurely.

After walking for half an hour, they came to the city wall, the city gate was closed, there were no officers and soldiers on the city wall, but there were a few soapy clothes to catch the guards, each holding a bow and crossbow; there was a bamboo plaque hanging in it, although it was simple but not dilapidated, there were three large characters on it: "Beiliang County".

Of course, the city walls and plaques here are much smaller than those of the Central Plains Metropolis, but in the bitter cold land of the border plug, it is finally the location of a county administration.

Cai Yaoyang hit his horse and came to the city, and Le Ma shouted: "At what hour, the city gate is closed?

There was no movement in the city gate for a long time, and after a long time, a person poked his head out and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Metropolitan Eunuch." Don't you know that a plague has suddenly broken out in the city, and hundreds of people have died in the city and the villagers near the city. Whether people in the city want to leave the city, or people outside the city want to enter the city, they must have a warrant from the county commander, otherwise they will be killed. Therefore, this gate is not open to you. ”

Cai Yaoyang snorted coldly and said, "How could Master Xi be so faint? Li Dai, it is clear that you are rumors to confuse the public." Half a month ago, General Ben went into the mountains to chase down the anti-tax bandits, and when he set off, everything was safe in the county, where did the plague come from?"

He waved his horsewhip in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The general is now detained as a repeat offender who resists taxes and plots rebellion, if there is an accident, Hugh said that you, even Master Xi can't afford it." Hurry up and open the gates and let me in!"

The long-eyed "careful catch" Li Dai said with a smile: "Lord Metropolitan Eunuch Mingjian, even if he gives nine heads to the lowly position, he doesn't dare to create such rumors. The epidemic in the city is indeed dangerous, my lord, you still take people with you, go to the nearby villages to avoid the limelight first, and when the plague has passed, it is not too late to enter the city to handle the case. ”
