After Jane wakes up, she will return to the county seat. The husband was beaten to death and is now unattended, and they can't leave it alone.
Yuxi asked: "You go back now, what about your children?" You know, the youngest child is only five years old this year. After losing his father, it is still unknown whether he can grow up if he loses his mother.
Manniang looked at her mother who was crying so hard, and said with a hate on her face: "We will go back too. The big deal, we will die with him."
Yuxi shook his head slightly and said, "Just you, it is not enough to stuff him between your teeth. Ma Zhu sacrificed himself to let you escape. If you go back and fall into King Dai Yan's hands, Ma Zhu will be dead in vain."
After hearing this, Jane cried with her little son in her arms and said, "The kid is his father, the kid is his father, what should I do?" Going back, it's not appropriate. If she doesn't go back, her heart hurts as if she was pricked by thousands of needles.
Manniang and several others also cried together.
Yuxi sighed and said, "You can bear with me for the time being, and I will take you into the city after two days."
Ma Jiada Lang asked anxiously, "Old lady, will this impinge you?" That Dai Yan Wang killed people without blinking, because he was afraid that his family would implicate 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 in the future. You have to take your own responsibilities."
Ma Dalang nodded and said: "I know. Old lady, thank you for saving our family." Yesterday was shocked, I forgot to thank my benefactor. If it hadn't been for this old lady, their family might have already been dealt a slap in the face.
After returning to the house, Qiyou asked with some worry: "Mother, shall we enter the city in the future?"
Seeing him like this, Yuxi asked, "What's the matter?"
"Now that the county magistrate doesn't care about the matter, the yamen of Gucheng County have the final say. If this Dai Yan dog jumps over the wall to attack us, I am afraid they will suffer." , But it is very dangerous to have Dai Yan Wang risk his life to fight with them.
Qiyou himself was not afraid, but Yuxi couldn't be frightened when he was old, so he didn't dare to take risks.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother, I haven't seen any big winds and waves, but a local ruffian can scare me." She waited for Yu Zhi to come back and enter the city, not because she was afraid of King Dai Yan, but she didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties.
Qiyou said, "Mother, why don't we go to Jiangcheng to transfer some people?" The prefect of Xiangyang was already unreliable, so he wanted to transfer people to Jiangcheng.
Yuxi shook his head and said: "Once the troops are transferred from Jiangcheng, the officials in Xiangyang will know soon. If the officials in Xiangyang really benefit from King Dai, they will definitely respond with the news. At that time, we may not be able to cure them. Sin."
Yuxi didn't care about Cao Ren's affairs at the time, because taking a concubine was not considered a violation of law or discipline. But the nature of this incident was different. There was such a heinous thing in Gucheng County. Not to mention the prefect of Xiangyang, the governor of Hubei and the governor of Hubei have an inescapable responsibility. Therefore, for their own benefit, they will also inform Xiangyang officials. In this way, we can shirk responsibility at that time.
Qiyou was a little upset: "I knew it, I should have brought more people." This time, there were only 16 people including the female guard. I watched a lot, but it's not enough to deal with people who have bad intentions!
Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't frown, the sky won't fall. Okay, I'll make mooncakes later, do you want to help?" I bought all the materials, and I'll do it later.
Qiyou has never spoken without touching his hands.
August 15 is a holiday for the family to reunite. If something like this happened to the Ma family, Yuxi didn't ask them to come out for dinner. Just like the previous two days, let the cook bring in the food.
The dishes made by the imperial kitchen tasted not so good. It's a pity that the six mothers and sons of the Ma family have no appetite at all. No matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like chewing wax.
On the night of August 15th, Yuxi took Qixuan's two brothers in the yard looking at the moon.
Sitting on a stool, Yuxi said with the Qixuan brothers: "I remember when you were young, you asked me once during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why didn't you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your father."
Qiyou has lost his impression, after all, it has been 50 years or so: "Father must have been on the expedition back then?" Yun Qing stayed at home unless he was leading soldiers to fight.
He asked himself to be a good man, but there was still a gap with his dad, because it was impossible for him to follow his wife in everything. But it was the same, so that his mother would fall to the ground.
Yuxi nodded: "Yes! When you were young, he often went to war outside." At that time, their husband and wife were really close together, and they didn't separate much after they entered the capital.
Having said this, Yuxi sighed: "Your father is alone, I don't know how lonely!" It was also the children who refused, otherwise she would have gone to accompany the old man.
Qiyou's heart jumped, and he said hurriedly: "Mother, how can Dad be lonely! You see, Uncle Feng and Uncle Cui are underneath. With them, Dad must have a good time."
Yuxi glanced at him, how could this brother compare with his wife and children. However, seeing the worry in Qiyou's eyes, she didn't continue this topic anymore.
On the second day, Yuxi talked to the village chief. During this chat, Yuxi realized that the taxes and corvee here were particularly heavy. Especially for corvee, the common people have to go out twice a year.
The village chief used to read books and speak Mandarin, so there is no need to translate: “Even young adults with strong bodies, every time they come back from military service, they have to take a good rest. Those who are weaker will get sick.” It is also forced. Helpless, if otherwise, the people would not be willing to serve in corvee.
The common people are required to perform corvee, but the court has a rule once a year. Work lightly and ensure you have enough three meals a day. The heavy and physically demanding work not only provides good food, but also has ten labors per person per day. In Gucheng County, these people not only performed one more corvee, but also hadn't enough to eat. As for wages, there is no more.
Qiyou's face went black.
As for taxes, in addition to imperial regulations, four cents of silver was levied on each acre of land. In addition, the government does not collect grain and requires the people to take money to pay taxes. But when the harvest came, the price of food was held down again. As a result, the common people are miserable.
Yuxi asked a lot of questions, and the head of the clerk knew everything without saying anything.
It was not until noon that Yuxi and Qiyou went back.
The daughter-in-law of the resident complained: "Old man, what do you tell a foreigner so much to do? If someone in the yamen knows, it is a trivial matter that you can't do it here. If these people retaliate, what will you do? "The outsiders patted their buttocks and left, leaving them unlucky.
"What do you know? These people are not ordinary people. We people in Gucheng County may not be able to see the sun again." If only the Ma family was saved, they could only be said to be kind. But these people naturally asked about taxation and corvee, how ordinary people would care about this.
The elder daughter-in-law was stunned, and then asked, "You mean, these nobles will take care of our Gucheng County?" I think that the taxation and corveement in the past few years was only half of now, so don't mention how much better life is going on. Unexpectedly, since the county prime minister came to power, their lives have become more and more difficult.
"This is just my guess, don't go out and mumble. If you don't, it will really be a disaster for the family." The reason why he dared to say those things was because he expected that Yuxi and the others would not say it. At that time, the yamen people really wanted to kill them and didn't recognize them.
The eldest daughter-in-law said: "Am I such a person who doesn't know the importance?" She didn't dare to talk nonsense for her children and grandchildren.
Qiyou said with a solemn face: "Mother, the situation in Gucheng County is more serious than I thought." He originally thought King Dai Yan was a rogue, and he could kill such a scum. But now I found out that the government offices in Gucheng County were utterly lousy.
Yuxi said indifferently: "I have only been in the Ming Dynasty for 60 years, and there is such a horrible thing. If this continues, it will not take a hundred years for the country to change hands." Yuxi knows very well that this world cannot be forever. Yun's. But she didn't expect that the government would be corrupted to this point in her lifetime.
Qiyou was afraid that Yuxi would get angry, and said with relief: "Mother, Gucheng County is special, and other places are pretty good." They also walked through many places, and the officials were still clean.
"Don't think that the situation in Gucheng County is special. A thousand miles of mention collapsed in the ant's nest. If you don't pay attention this time, it won't take 20 years for the common people to rise up." The common people can't survive, so they rebelled naturally.
Qiyou said hurriedly: "Mother, I'll write to elder brother later. Let him send imperial envoys to patrol the world."
"What can we find out if we go to patrol with fanfare? If you want to investigate, you have to detect it in secret." Once the news leaked out, the officials were prepared. In the end, what was found was all things that shattered peace.
Qiyou nodded.
When I returned to the place where I lived, I saw the six Jane's mother and son spinning anxiously in the yard.
Seeing Yuxi, Jane stepped forward and asked, "Old lady, when shall we enter the city?" She wished to enter the city now, but because of Yuxi's words, she had scruples.
Yuxi gave an exact time: "You should be able to enter the city the next day." The day after tomorrow, Yu Zhi should also be back.
Jane couldn't help crying: "Old lady, can you enter the city now? My head is gone, and I can't even have a piece of linen and filial piety."
Qiyou was feeling upset, and then looked at the crying mother and son and couldn't help but become angry: "Do you not know who is wearing a dog? You didn't prepare to take you into the city. It doesn't matter if you die, don't hurt my mother. My mother is too old to be surprised."
Jane couldn't help taking two steps back without being yelled.
Yuxi glanced at Qiyou, and then said: "You can bear with me for the time being! If you can't uproot Wang Dai Yan and the group, you will still have no peace in the future."
Jane was so shocked that he forgot to cry: "You want to get rid of King Dai Yan? But he has a lot of people, and he is backed by the county prime minister."
Yuxi said, "You don't need to worry about this. You also take care of yourself, how many children will depend on you!"
After saying this, Yuxi went back to the house.
Qiyou asked, "Mother, why the hell did Yu Zhi go?" His mother was very cautious when she was young, and now she will not take risks when she is old. So he is now sure that Yu Zhi must have gone to a helper.
"As you think."
Jane was helped by Manniang into the house, and after a while, he said, "The old lady said that she would get rid of King Dai Yan, Manniang, do you think this is true?"
Manniang hesitated and said, "Mother, I see that this old lady doesn't look like a scornful person." Manniang knew very well that they could not take revenge. If this old lady could kill King Dai Yan, it would be tantamount to avenging his father.
Thinking of the few people around Yuxi, Jane said with a frustrated expression: "Although the people around the old lady have high martial arts, but the few of them outsiders are weak, how could they bring down King Dai Yan!" County Cheng, if you can watch Dai Yan being bullied by a foreigner, you definitely can't.
Manniang didn't know her heart, she thought for a while and said, "Mother, didn't the old lady say that we can enter the city at the latest? After two days, we will know that what she said is true or false." The old lady got rid of King Dai Yan, and she didn't have to be frightened anymore. On the contrary, I am afraid that she will have no way to survive.
By the evening of the second day, Yu Zhi finally returned.
At dawn the next day, the group entered the city. The six Jane's mother and son did not stay, but followed into the city.
The chief took Yuxi and his family to the entrance of the village. Looking at the carriage that was going away, the chief clerk said to himself: "I hope I can really return our peace to Gucheng County..."
When I arrived at the gate of Gucheng County, I saw four government officials at the gate.
Everyone who enters the city needs to pay two copper plates for entering the city. Three of these four offices are left to maintain order, and one collects money.
When it was the turn of Qiyou and the others, Ya Hao glanced at him and said, "Pay the entrance fee of a tael of silver."
Qiyou took a few deep breaths, and then he didn't feel furious.
Lin Kuo knew the current affairs and handed it a couple of silver. However, he was stern and did not speak. These people are so brave that they dare to let the empress dowager pay the city fee.
Although Yacha was dissatisfied with his attitude, he still accepted the money and let them in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by a sturdy man with a fierce face and a horrible face: "Our boss, please."
Qiyou was feeling angry, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes when he heard these words: "Get out."
In this Gucheng County, no one dares not to give him the face of being a master. But this big man also knew that Yuxi and his party were from a foreign country, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to go against them.
Dahan Qin Wu said in a vicious voice: "Our master invites you to give you face, don't toast or eat fine wine." If it weren't for the news that the guards carried by this person were all masters, how could he talk nonsense? , Directly tied the person.
Qiyou sneered and said, "I want to see how you let us eat fine wine."
Qin Wuda shouted, "Brothers, all come out." Soon, a large group of people sprang out from the surroundings.
Qiyou visually observed that there were at least a hundred people.
Lin Kuo waved his hand, and a group of guards immediately pulled out the swords and swords they were wearing to surround the carriage.
Seeing the cold sword glowing in the guard's hand, and these people have no fear on their faces, I don't know why Qin Wu feels uneasy.
The sword was moved as soon as he watched it, and the people who had been watching the excitement around him disappeared in an instant.
Jane's whole body was trembling with fright, and he hugged the five siblings who were also pale in fright.
