Because it was getting late, the few people didn't say anything more, so they went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
The next morning, when Yan Shi got up, Zhao Liang and his wife had already prepared the meal.
At the dinner table, Zhao Liang said: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Hua, we discussed it last night. Since the money for the fertility drug was collected by the county magistrate without permission, we will sue them. But we plan to cooperate with other parties. Husband and wife go to sue together, there are many people and strength is great, what do you two young masters say?" Zhao Liang and his wife seem to have regarded Yan Shi as the backbone.
Yan Shi admired Zhao Liang quite a bit, he didn't act rashly, nor was he timid when things happened.
Yan Shi said, "It's very good."
"It's just that I don't know what the magistrate needs? How should we sue?" Zhao Liang asked again. He has never had any quarrel with anyone in his life, let alone such a big matter as suing the magistrate.
"I'll write a pleading paper for you later, just take the pleading paper and sue." Yan Shi thought for a while and said, "Sang Yu, I will leave it to you, brothers."
Zhao Liang and his wife originally wanted to refuse, but they really had never done such a big thing, so they felt a little uneasy. They had an inexplicable trust in Yan Shi. If they had his followers, they would feel more at ease in their hearts, so they accepted it after being grateful.
After breakfast, Zhao Liang went to borrow a pen and paper, and Wang Meng went to the village to find other couples. Not long after, Zhao Liang borrowed a pen and paper, Zhao Liang spread the paper on the table, Hua Ling was ground for Yan Shi, Yan Shi raised his pen and thought for a while, and wrote a full chapter.
Zhao Liang knew a few characters, and he couldn't stop admiring Yan Shi's writing: "Mr. Yan's handwriting is so beautiful."
Hua Ling saw that Zhao Liang was more and more pleasing to the eye: "My elder brother has been practicing calligraphy since he was three years old, and he has to practice five or six hours a day."
"Starting to write at the age of three? It's amazing." Zhao Liang praised him sincerely.
After Yan Shi wrote the complaint, Zhao Liang carefully put it away after drying.
Nothing happened right now, he and Hua Ling went outside, Zhao Liang's family raised a few hens and ducks, walking back and forth in the yard. There was also a civet cat lying on the fence, lazily basking in the sun.
The little hen is not afraid of people at all, and even ran to her feet to beg for food when she saw someone coming out. Yan Shi looked at it with joy in his heart: "I don't know how many eggs this chicken can lay every day?"
Zhao Liang took a handful of husks, mixed them with water, and put them into the chicken trough. The hens flapped their wings and ran over quickly. When they saw the ducks, they also waddled over and stretched their necks to eat happily. Extremely.
"My family has five hens and one rooster. There are four ducks, all of which are hens." Zhao Liang said, "The chickens and ducks can lay two or three eggs every day. My husband and I can't eat so many, Sometimes when I save a hundred eggs, I pick them up and buy them in the town, and exchange some money to buy some wine and meat.”
Zhao Liang suddenly laughed when he said this: "My husband and I have been married for almost four years. Before, there were few chickens and ducks in this village, and people couldn't have enough to eat. But after the emperor ascended the throne, our life is easier. We can raise some chickens and ducks.”
"Our emperor is the most powerful." Hua Ling likes to say this, "He is so capable at such a young age. He has only been on the throne for a few years, and our life is getting better and better. In the future, our life will be even better , earning more and more silver.”
Zhao Liang agreed with Hua Ling's words: "I think the same way, and to tell you two, I have only dreamed of the current day before."
Hua Ling and Zhao Liang chatted one after another, but Yan Shi couldn't bear to listen, so he went for a walk by himself.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Wang Meng to come back, and there were about seven or eight other men following him.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Hua, these are husbands and wives in the village." Wang Meng introduced to both parties.
These men looked at the two of them up and down, just now Wang Meng went to them and explained the reason for their visit. But Mr. Gao County, I really dare not even think about it. What if I lose my head? They are all honest peasants, how can they win against officials? Although the price of fertility medicine is very expensive, at worst, you can just do some work and save up, it's better than losing your head.
In order to convince everyone, Wang Meng told Yan Shi out. Said that there were two handsome young masters who were well dressed and well-dressed at his house. These young masters came from a big place and were well-informed. And that young master also sent a person to help them, presumably this matter will be done.
Having said that, the couple who originally disagreed hesitated a bit. Wang Meng pushed again, and they decided to follow the two young masters in their mouth, and they didn't lose anything by looking left and right.
But these couples took a look at Yan Shi, and lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look any more. These two people are very good-looking, even more beautiful than the beauties in the paintings.
Yan Shi knew what they were coming for, so he comforted them with words. Yan Shi's voice was nice and reasonable, and after a while the couples who didn't agree at first agreed.
"So, what we need to do now is to find more husbands and wives. Together, we will surely sue the magistrate." Hua Ling made a concluding statement for Yan Shi.
So everyone discussed, first mobilize the couples they know, and then gradually expand the scope. Wang Meng discussed with Zhao Liang, let him stay at home with Yan Shi and Hua Ling, and then he went to the neighboring village to mobilize people he knew.
At noon, Zhao Liang deliberately killed the only rooster in order to entertain Yan Shi. Wang Meng didn't come back until it was dark, and said that he had searched all the couples he knew, and at first there were some who disagreed, but after hearing that many couples were involved in this matter, they all agreed.
After three days like this, in the early morning of the fourth day, these husbands and wives all gathered in the yard of Wang Meng's house, some of them went together, and some of them were just a single person.
In order to arrive at the state capital earlier and complete the matter earlier, Wang Meng specially hired several carriages and parked them in a row on the road of Shanghe Village.
Sang Yu rode a horse at the front, followed by a carriage. To say that some people were a little apprehensive at first, but seeing that Sang Yu also followed, their hearts completely fell into their stomachs. Seeing that the man looks majestic and dignified, just like the hero written in a small story book, the storyteller talks about it, he looks very solid and reliable.
Wang Meng went with those couples, Zhao Liang didn't go and stayed at home with Yan Shi and Hua Ling.
However, Yan Shi did not stay in Shanghe Village all the time, the state capital was not too close to this place, so it would take three or four days for them to come back. In the past few days, Yan Shi, accompanied by Zhao Liang, took a look at the surrounding villages and towns.
I also deliberately went to the field to have a look, talked to many people, and learned about the sufferings of the people. These few days have really yielded something, under the faint candlelight, Yan Shi was still writing something on the paper.
Hua Ling hugged him from behind: "Brother, let's sleep."
"Wait a minute, when I finish writing this." Yan Shi smiled and patted Hua Ling's hand, "If Ming Ting is sleepy, go to sleep first."
"If I don't hug you to sleep, I won't be able to sleep." Hua Ling deliberately made his voice soft and sweet, knowing that Yan Shi couldn't stand him like this.
Sure enough, Yan Shi's body moved slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "Then I'll write quickly, but Ming Ting will be troubled and wait for me for a while." He wanted to write down everything he saw and thought of today, lest you forget it later. There are still many disadvantages in the Great Yuan Dynasty, just like no matter how great the sun is, there are places where it can't shine.
Yan Shi could only do his best to eradicate these dark places one by one. In some places, he couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he wrote it down first, and let him think about it later.
Hua Ling moved a chair and sat down next to Yan Shi: "This oil lamp is too dark, and it takes a lot of time for my brother to write. Why don't you tell me, brother, and I'll write for you."
Yan Shi didn't agree: "Let me write it, I won't be prepared for such a short time."
Hua Ling didn't say anything, just moved the chair to Yan Shi's side. In fact, his chair was already touching Yan Shi's, and there was no room to move.
Hua Ling buried her head on Yan Shi's neck, and after hugging him from behind for a while, a bad idea suddenly appeared in her head. Yan Shi had just finished taking a bath, and the tips of his hair were still wet, so he didn't wear a coat, only a lewd garment. this
It was convenient for Hua Ling, who ran around dishonestly with both hands.
Yan Shi was concentrating on the matter and ignored him. Hua Ling became more and more courageous, and moved her body towards Yan Shi again. At this moment, he has already sat on half of Yan Shi's chair.
Yan Shi sometimes stopped to think, and sometimes he was scribbling on the paper. The clothes on his body disappeared without knowing it.
Suddenly, Hua Ling has already occupied all of Yan Shi's chairs. Yan Shi, who was thinking, suddenly got up together, and when he sat down again.
"Um?"
Yan Shi turned his head in surprise, Hua Ling smiled like a cat that had successfully stolen the fish.
"Brother, why are you looking at me? Keep writing, I'm sleepy." A moment later, Hua Ling turned into an innocent face again, blinking her big watery eyes and looking at Yan pitifully. Shit.
Yan Shi clenched the pen in his hand, how can he write this!
"Why are you so..." Before he could say the word rascal, his voice suddenly changed.
Hua Ling raised her hands to show her innocence: "Brother, what happened to me? I didn't do anything."
Yan Shi gritted his teeth, knowing that this person was black, how could he fall for his tricks again and again!
Yan Shi ignored him, he turned his head to look at what he had written, and it was almost finished in a while.
He should, um, should be able to insist on finishing it.
Yan Shi let out a long breath, and decided to finish writing it without any distractions.
It's just that it's really difficult to have no distracting thoughts at this time.
Putting her chin on his shoulder, Hua Ling pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Brother, why didn't you write it anymore? But what kind of problem did you encounter? Tell me and listen to me, and I'll see if I can help you. It's getting late, we all have to go to bed earlier."
