Rebirth of First Daughter - Chapter 2268
When Jane wakes up, she will go back to the county. They can’t leave their husbands behind when they are killed.
Yuxi asked a word: “you go back now, how many children do you have?” You know, the youngest child is only five years old. If you lose your father, if you lose your mother again, it’s uncertain whether you can grow up.
Man Niang looked at her crying mother and said with hatred: “let’s go back, too. It’s a big deal. I’ll die with him. ”
Yuxi shook his head slightly and said, “just a few of you, it’s not enough to plug his teeth. Ma Zhu sacrificed himself to let you escape. If you go back and fall into the hands of Dai yanwang, Ma Zhu will die in vain. ”
After hearing this, Jane put her arms around her little son and cried, “father, father, what should I do?” It’s not right to go back. If she didn’t go back, her heart would hurt as if she were pricked by thousands of needles.
Man Niang several people, also cry together.
Yu Xi sighed and said, “you’ll be patient for a while. I’ll take you to the city in two days.”
Ma’s Dalao asked uneasily: “old lady, will this implicate you?” He was afraid that his family would be implicated in this kind old man.
Yuxi shook his head and said, “don’t worry, he can’t help me. Your father is gone, and your family will depend on you for support. You have to shoulder your responsibilities. ”
Ma Dalang nodded and said, “I know. Thank you for saving our family, old lady I was so shocked yesterday that I forgot to thank my benefactor. If it were not for the old lady, their family would have been poisoned.
After returning to the house, Qiyou asked anxiously, “mother, shall we go to the city in the future?”
Seeing him like this, Yuxi asked, “what’s the matter?”
“Now the county magistrate is concerned, the county government in Gucheng county has the final say. I’m afraid I’ll suffer if this Dai yanwang jumps over the wall to attack us. ” Although Lin Kuo’s skills are good and they can block ten by one, it’s also very dangerous for Dai yanwang to fight with them.
Qiyou himself is not afraid, but Yuxi is too old to be frightened, so he does not dare to take risks.
Yuxi said with a smile, “I haven’t seen any big waves, but a local ruffian can scare me.” She waited for Yu Zhi to come back to the city. She was not afraid of Dai Yan, but didn’t want to cause unnecessary casualties.
Qiyou said: “Niang, why don’t we go to Jiangcheng and send some people over?” The magistrate of Xiangyang, Zhizhou, was unreliable, so he wanted to transfer people to Jiangcheng.
Yuxi shook his head and said, “once troops are transferred from Jiangcheng, Xiangyang officials will soon know. If Xiangyang officials really get the benefit of Dai yanwang, they will certainly respond to the news. In time, we may not be able to cure them. ”
Yuxi didn’t take care of Cao Ren’s affairs at that time because it was not illegal to take concubines. However, the nature of this incident is different. There is such a heinous thing in Gucheng County. Not to mention the Xiangyang Prefecture magistrate, the governor of Hubei Province and the political emissary all have unshirkable responsibilities. Therefore, for their own interests, they will also inform Xiangyang officials. In this way, we can shirk our responsibility.
Qiyou was a little annoyed: “I knew that. I should have brought more people at that time.” This time, there were only 16 people, including the female guards. Looking at a lot of people, but it’s not enough for those who have a bad heart!
Yuxi said with a smile: “don’t worry, the sky can’t fall down. Well, I’ll make moon cakes later. Would you like to help me? ” I’ve bought all the materials. I’ll do it later.
Qiyou has always been very quiet.
August 15 is the festival of family reunion. When something happened to the Ma family, Yuxi didn’t ask them to come out for dinner. Just like the previous two days, let the cook send food in.
The food cooked by the imperial chef is not so good. It’s a pity that Ma’s mother and son have no appetite at all. No matter how delicious the food is, it’s tasteless.
On the evening of August 15, Yuxi and Qixuan are watching the moon in the courtyard.
Yuxi sat on a stool and said to Qixuan brothers, “I remember when you were young, once you asked me why my father didn’t spend the Mid Autumn Festival with me.”
Qiyou has no impression, after all, in the past 50 years: “dad must have gone to war at that time, right?” Unless it’s a war, Yunqing will stay at home.
He asked himself that he was a good man, but there was still a gap between him and his father, because he could not follow his wife in everything. But also so, can let his mother die in peace.
Yuxi nodded: “yes! When you were young, he used to fight outside. ” At that time, their husband and wife really got together less and left more, but they didn’t separate much after entering the capital.
At this point, Yuxi sighed: “your father is alone below, I don’t know how lonely he is!” It’s also the children who won’t let her. Otherwise, she would have gone down to accompany the old man.
Qi you’s heart leaped and said, “mother, how can father be alone! You see Uncle Feng and uncle Cui are all down here. With their company, my father must be very happy. ”
Yuxi takes a look at him. How can this brother compare with his wife and children. However, seeing the sadness in Qiyou’s eyes, she didn’t continue this topic.
The next day, Yuxi talked to the village head. In this chat, Yuxi was surprised to find that the taxes and corvee here were extremely heavy. Especially the corvee, the common people have to do it twice a year.
The village head used to read books and speak Mandarin, so there is no need to translate: “even if the young and middle-aged people are strong, they have to take a good rest every time they come back from corvee service. If you’re a little weak, you’ll get sick. ” It is also forced to be helpless. If not, the common people would not be willing to do corvee.
The common people had to do corvee, but the imperial court stipulated that they should do it once a year. Thrifty work ensures satiety in three meals a day. For the heavy and physical work, not only the food is good, but also each person has ten Wen to get every day. In Gucheng County, these people not only served corvee once more, but also did not have enough to eat. As for the salary, there is no more.
Qiyou’s face is black.
As for taxes, in addition to the regulations of the imperial court, there is also a levy of 4% silver per mu of land. In addition, the government did not collect grain and asked the people to pay taxes with money. But when the harvest came, the price of grain was depressed again. As a result, the common people suffered a lot.
Yuxi asked a lot of questions, but Li Chang said everything he knew.
Until noon, Yuxi and Qiyou went back.
The elder’s daughter-in-law complained: “old man, what do you do when you talk so much to a stranger? If the people in the Yamen know that you can’t work here for a long time, it’s a small matter. What if these people retaliate? ” The stranger patted his ass and left them with bad luck.
“What do you know? These people are not ordinary people. We in Gucheng County can’t say that we can see the light again. ” If we only saved the Ma family, we can only say that they were kind-hearted. But these people asked about taxes and corvee. How could ordinary people care about them.
Li Chang’s daughter-in-law was stunned, and then asked, “do you mean these noble people will take care of our Gucheng County?” A few years ago, taxes and corvee were only half of what they are now. But I didn’t expect that since the county magistrate came to power, their life has become more and more difficult.
“It’s just my guess. Don’t go out and mumble. If not, it will be a disaster for my family. ” The reason why he dared to say those words was that he expected that Yuxi and others would not say them. At that time, the Yamen people will really bite to death.
Li Chang’s daughter-in-law said, “am I such a person who doesn’t know the weight?” Even for her children and grandchildren, she did not dare to talk nonsense.
Qi you said calmly, “Niang, the situation in Gucheng County is more serious than I thought.” He originally thought that Daiyan was a local ruffian, such scum he could easily twist to death. But now I find that the government in Gucheng County is rotten.
Yuxi said faintly, “it’s only 60 years since the Ming Dynasty was established. It’s so shocking. If it goes on like this, it won’t take a hundred years for the country to change its owner. ” Yuxi is very clear that this world can not always be the cloud family. But I didn’t expect that in her lifetime, the government would be corrupt to this extent.
Qiyou is afraid that Yuxi will be inflamed and comforts him: “Niang, Gucheng County is special. Other places are very good.” They also went through a lot of places, and the officials were still clean.
“Don’t think that Gucheng County is a special place. It’s a thousand miles away from the ant colony. If we don’t pay attention this time, the people of 20 years old will have to rise up. ” If the common people could not survive, they naturally rebelled.
Qiyou said: “mother, I’ll write to elder brother later. Let him send Imperial Envoys to inspect the world. ”
“What can we find out if we make a big inspection? If you want to find out, you have to find out in secret. ” Once the news gets out, the officials are ready. What we found out in the end were all smashed and peaceful things.
Qiyou nodded.
Back to the place where they lived, they saw Jane’s mother and son six people anxiously beating around in the yard.
Seeing Yuxi, Jane stepped forward and asked, “old lady, when are we going to the city?” She wants to go to the city now, but there are scruples in Yuxi’s words.
Yuxi gave a definite time: “you should be able to enter the city in the future.” The next day, it’s time for Yu Zhi to come back.
Jane couldn’t help crying: “old lady, can you go to the city now? I don’t have anyone in charge of my family. I can’t even have one who is in mourning. ”
Qi you is not happy, and then looked at the crying mother and son, a few people can not help anger up: “that wear dog son is who you don’t know? I didn’t take you into the city. It doesn’t matter if you die. Don’t bother my mother. My mother is too old to be surprised. ”
Jane stepped back two steps before she was roared.
Yuxi took a look at Qiyou, and then said, “you can bear it for a while! If you can’t uproot the Daiyan Gang, you’ll still have no peace in the future. ”
Jane was so shocked that she forgot to cry: “do you want to get rid of Dai yanwang? But he has a lot of people under him, and he has the support of the county magistrate. ”
Yuxi said, “you don’t have to worry about that. Take care of yourself. You’ll have to rely on you for a few children! ”
With these words, Yuxi went back to the house.
Qiyou asked, “mother, what’s the matter with Yuzhi?” His mother was very cautious when she was young, and now she is too old to take risks. So now he is sure that Yu Zhi must be looking for help.
“As you think.”
Jane’s mother helped her into the room. After half a sound, she said, “the old lady said that she would get rid of Dai yanwang. Ma Niang, do you think it’s true?”
Man Niang hesitated and said, “Niang, I don’t think this old lady is a person who speaks fluently.” Ma Niang knows very well that they can’t get revenge. If the old lady can kill Dai yanwang, it’s revenge for his father.
Thinking about the few people around Yuxi, Jane said with a dejected face: “although the people around the old lady are highly skilled in martial arts, how can they bring down Dai yanwang because they are so weak?” The county magistrate, if he can see that Dai yanwang is bullied by a stranger, he can’t.
Man Niang’s in the mind also have no bottom, thought to next say: “Niang, that old lady isn’t say we can enter the city at the latest in the future?”? After two days, we’ll know whether what she said is true or false. ” If I get rid of Dai Yama, she doesn’t have to be afraid. On the contrary, I’m afraid she won’t survive.
By the next night, Yu Zhi finally came back.
The next day, at daybreak, the party went to the city. Jane’s mother and son did not stay, but followed into the city.
Li Chang takes an old and young general Yuxi to the entrance of the village. Looking at the carriage that gradually went away, Li Chang said to himself, “I hope we can really have peace in Gucheng County.”
At the gate of Gucheng County, there are four yamen messengers at the gate.
People who go to the city need to pay two coppers each. Three of the four yamen messengers maintain order and one collects money.
When it was Qi you’s turn, Ya Cha took a look and said, “pay one or two silver for entering the city.”
Qiyou took a few deep breaths, but he didn’t get angry.
Lin Kuo was very aware of the current situation and handed over a silver or two. However, he did not speak. These people are so bold that they dare to let the Empress Dowager pay the entrance fee.
Although the yam Chai was dissatisfied with his attitude, he took the money and let them in.
Who would have expected, just into the city was a ferocious face of the fierce man to stop: “our big boss please.”
Qi you is full of fire, hearing this, his eyes flashed the color of disgust: “roll.”
In this Gucheng County, no one dares not to give him the face of being in charge. However, the great man also knew that Yuxi and his party were from other places. Otherwise, they would not have the courage to fight against them.
The Great Han and Qin five said in a vicious voice: “we invite you in charge, to give you face, don’t toast, don’t drink.” If it wasn’t for the information that the guards he carried were all experts, he would not have talked nonsense and tied people directly.
Qiyou said with a sneer, “I’ll see how you make us drink.”
Qin Wu yelled: “brothers, come out.” Soon, a large group of people sprang out from around.
Qiyou made a visual inspection, and there were at least 100 people.
With a wave of Lin Kuo’s hand, a group of guards immediately drew out their swords and surrounded the carriage.
Looking at the swords in the guard’s hands, and these people’s faces were fearless, I don’t know why Qin Wu felt uneasy.
Looking at it, he even started to move his sword. The people who had been watching the scene were like birds in shock, and they were scattered in an instant.
Jane’s whole body trembled with fright, and she hugged her sister and brother, who were also scared to be green.
