The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2268

[Chapter 2268 Yuxi Fanwai (17)]

After Jane wakes up, she will go back to the county seat. The husband was beaten to death and now no one cares, they can’t leave it alone.

Oak Xi 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, if he loses his mother again, it is unknown whether he can grow up.

Manniang looked at her mother who was crying to death, and said with a look of hatred, “Let’s go back too. It’s a big deal, we’ll die with him.”

Yuxi shook his head slightly and said, “Just the few of you, it’s not enough to put his teeth in. Ma Zhu sacrificed himself to let you escape. If you go back and fall into the hands of King Dai Yan, Ma Zhu will be dead in vain.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jane hugged her younger son and cried, “My child’s father, my child’s father, what should I do?” It’s not right to go back. If she doesn’t go back, her heart hurts as if pierced by thousands of needles.

Manniang and several others also cried together.

Oak Xi sighed and said, “Just bear with me for a while, and I’ll take you into the city in two days.”

Ma Jia Dalang asked a little uneasily: “Old lady, will this implicate you?” That Dai Yan killed without blinking an eye, he was afraid that his family would implicate this kind old man.

Yuxi shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me. Your father is gone, and your family will be supported by you in the future. You have to take your own responsibilities.”

Ma Dalang nodded and said, “I know. Madam, thank you for saving our family.” Yesterday, he was so shocked that he forgot to thank his benefactor. If it weren’t for this old lady, their family might have been poisoned.

After returning to the house, Qiyou asked worriedly, “Mother, shall we enter the city the day after tomorrow?”

Seeing him like this, Oak-hee asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Now the magistrate doesn’t care, the county magistrate has the final say in the yamen of Gucheng County. If this Dai Yanwang dog jumps over the wall and attacks us, they will be numerous and powerful, and I’m afraid they will suffer.” Although Lin Kuo and the others are good at blocking ten , but it is also very dangerous for Dai Yan Wang to risk his life to fight them.

Qiyou himself was not afraid, but Yuxi was too old to be frightened, so he did not dare to take risks.

Yuxi smiled and said, “Mum, I have never seen a storm, but a local rascal can scare me.” She waited for Yu Zhi to return before entering the city.

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 go to Jiangcheng to transfer people.

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 get the benefits of Dai Yanwang, they will definitely respond when they get the news. At that time, we may not be able to cure them. sin.”

Oak-hee didn’t care about Cao Ren’s affairs at the time, because taking a concubine was not a violation of law or discipline. But the nature of the incident this time is different. Gucheng County has such a heinous thing, not to mention the prefect of Xiangyang, the governor of Hubei and the political envoy all have inescapable responsibilities. Therefore, for their own benefit, they will also tip off officials in Xiangyang. In this way, you can shirk responsibility when the time comes.

Qiyou was a little annoyed: “I knew earlier, I should have brought more people.” This time, there were only sixteen people, including the female guard. Looking at a lot, but it’s not enough to meet people with bad intentions!

Yuxi smiled and said, “Don’t frown, the sky won’t fall. Okay, I’ll make moon cakes later, do you want to help?”

Qiyou has always been silent.

August 15th was a family reunion festival. When something like this happened to the Ma family, Oak-hee didn’t ask them to come out for dinner. Just like the previous two days, let the cook bring the food in.

The food cooked by the royal chef is not so good. It’s a pity that the six Ma family, mother and son, have no appetite at all now. No matter how delicious the food is, it tastes the same.

On the night of August 15th, Yuxi took the Qixuan brothers to watch the moon in the courtyard.

Yuxi sat on a stool and said with the Qixuan brothers, “I remember you once asked me during the Mid-Autumn Festival when you were young, why didn’t my father accompany me to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Qiyou has lost his impression. After all, it has been fifty years or so: “Dad must have gone to war at that time, right?” Unless he was leading troops to fight, Yun Qing stayed at home.

He asked himself that he was a good man, but there was still a gap between him and his father, because it was impossible for him to follow his wife in everything. But that’s what makes his mother utterly heartbroken.

Yuxi nodded: “Yeah! When you were young, he often fought outside.” At that time, their husband and wife really got together less often, and they didn’t separate much when they entered the capital.

Speaking of which, Yuxi sighed, “Your father is alone down here, I don’t know how lonely it is!” It was also because the children would not let her, otherwise she would have gone down to accompany the old man long ago.

Qiyou’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, “Mom, how can Dad be alone! You see Uncle Feng and Uncle Cui are below. With them accompanying, Dad must be very happy.”

Oak Xi glanced at him, how could this brother compare to his wife and children. However, seeing the worry in Qiyou’s eyes, she did not continue the topic.

The next day, Oak-hee chatted with the village chief. During this chat, Yuxi found out that the taxes and corvée here were extremely heavy. Especially for corvée, the common people have to go out twice a year.

The village chief used to read and speak Mandarin, so he didn’t need to translate: “Even a young and middle-aged man with strong body needs to rest for a while every time he returns from corvée. Those who are weaker will get sick again.” Helpless, otherwise, the common people would not be willing to serve corvée.

The common people were to serve corvée, but the imperial court stipulated that it should be done once a year. Light work, to ensure that three meals a day to eat. For the heavy and physically demanding work, not only the food is good, but each person has ten liters of money to receive every day. In Gucheng County, these people not only served one more corvée, but also did not have enough to eat. As for wages, there is no more.

Qiyou’s face turned black.

As for taxation, in addition to the regulations of the imperial court, four per cent of silver should be levied per mu of land. In addition, the government did not accept grain and asked the people to take money to pay taxes. But when the harvest comes, the price of food is reduced again. So that the common people, miserable.

Oak-hee asked a lot of questions, and the rijj knew everything he could say.

It wasn’t until noon that Oak Hee and Qi You went back.

The daughter-in-law of the chief complained: “Old man, what are you talking about with a foreigner? If someone from the yamen finds out, it’s a trivial matter that you can’t do it here. What if these people take revenge? ?” The foreigners patted their butts and left, leaving them unlucky.

“What do you know? These people are not ordinary people. The people of Gucheng County may not be able to see the light of day again.” If they only saved the Ma family, they could only say that they were kind-hearted. But these people asked about taxation and corvée, how could ordinary people care about this.

The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then asked, “You mean, these nobles will take care of our Gucheng County affairs?” Thinking that in the past few years, the tax and corvée were only half of the present, and life was not much better. Unexpectedly, since the county chief came to power, their life has become more and more difficult.

“This is just my guess, don’t go out and talk nonsense. If you don’t, you will be in trouble for the family.” The reason why he dared to say those words was because he expected Yuxi and the others would not say it. At that time, the people of the yamen will really pursue the bite and deny it.

The eldest daughter-in-law said, “Am I such a person who doesn’t know the importance?” Even for her children and grandchildren, she didn’t dare to talk nonsense.

Qiyou said with a sullen face: “Mother, the situation in Gucheng County is more serious than I thought.” He originally thought that King Dai Yan was a local ruffian, and he could easily kill such scum. But now I found out that the government in Gucheng County was rotten.

Yu Xi said lightly: “My Ming Dynasty has only been established for 60 years, and there is such a shocking thing. If it goes on like this, it won’t take a hundred years for the country to change its owner.” Yu Xi is very clear that this world cannot be forever. Cloud’s. But she didn’t expect that the government would be so corrupted in her lifetime.

Qiyou was afraid that Yuxi would get angry, so he comforted: “Mother, Gucheng County is special, other places are pretty good.” They have also traveled to many places, and the officials are still relatively clear.

“Don’t think that what happened in Gucheng County is special. A thousand li has collapsed in the ant’s nest. If you don’t pay attention this time, the common people will have to rise up in twenty years.”

Qiyou hurriedly said, “Mother, I’ll write a letter to my eldest brother later. Let him send an imperial messenger to inspect the world.”

“What can we find out when we go to patrol with great fanfare? If we want to investigate, we have to investigate secretly.” Once the news leaked out, those officials were prepared. In the end, all that were found were things that shattered Taiping.

Qiyou nodded.

When I returned to the place where I lived, I saw Jane’s mother and son circling anxiously in the yard.

Seeing Yuxi, Mrs. Jian stepped forward and asked, “Old Madam, when will we enter the city?” She wished she could enter the city now, but because Yuxi’s words had scruples.

Oak Xi gave an exact time: “The day after tomorrow, I should be able to enter the city.” The day after tomorrow, Yu Zhi should also come back.

Mrs. Jane couldn’t help crying: “Old Madam, can I go to the city now? I’ve lost my boss, so I can’t even have one who wears hemp and filial piety.”

Qiyou’s heart was upset, and then looking at the crying mother and son, they couldn’t help but get angry: “Then you don’t know who Daigouzi is? No preparations were made to bring you into the city. It doesn’t matter if you die, don’t implicate my mother. My mother is getting older, so I can’t be surprised.”

Jane was not so yelled that she could not help but took two steps back.

Yuxi glanced at Qiyou, and then said, “Just be patient for a while! If you can’t uproot Dai Yan and his gang, you will still not have a peaceful life in the future.”

Jane was so shocked that she forgot to cry: “You want to get rid of Dai Yan Wang? But he has a lot of subordinates, and he has the support of the county magistrate.”

Oak-hee said, “You don’t need to worry about that. You also take care of yourself, and the children are still up to you!”

After saying that, Oak-hee went back to the house.

Qiyou asked, “Mother, why did Yu Zhi go?” His mother was very cautious when she was young, and now she will not take risks when she is old. Therefore, he is now certain that Yu Zhi must be looking for help.

“As you think.”

Mrs. Jian was supported by Manniang into the room, and after a while, she said, “The old lady said she wanted to get rid of King Dai Yan, Manniang, do you think this is true?”

Manniang hesitated and said, “Mother, I don’t think this old lady seems to be a liar.” Manniang knew very well that they couldn’t get revenge. If this old lady could kill Dai Yan Wang, it would be equivalent to avenging his father.

Thinking of the number of people around Yuxi, Jane said with a dejected expression, “Although the old lady’s side is highly skilled in martial arts, but a few of them are weak and weak, how could it be possible to overthrow Dai Yan Wang!” The county magistrate must not be able to watch Dai Yan Wang being bullied by a foreigner.

Man Niang didn’t know what to do. She thought about it and said, “Mother, didn’t that old lady say that we can enter the city the next day at the latest? After two days, we will know whether what she said is true or false.” After the old lady got rid of Dai Yanwang, she didn’t have to worry anymore. On the contrary, I am afraid that she will not survive.

On the second night, Yu Zhi finally came back.

At dawn the next day, the group entered the city. Jane’s mother and son did not stay, but followed into the city.

The head of the rib took a family of young generals, Oak Xi, and the others to the entrance of the village. Looking at the carriage that was going away, the mayor said to himself, “I hope we can really bring peace to our Gucheng County.”

When they arrived at the gate of Gucheng County, they saw four yamen at the gate of the city.

People who enter the city need to pay two coins for entering the city. Three of these four yamen maintained order and one received money.

When it was Qiyou’s turn, the yacha glanced at them and said, “Pay a tael of silver for the city entry fee.”

Qiyou took a few deep breaths, and then he didn’t panic.

Lin Kuo was very knowledgeable and handed over a tael of silver. However, he did not speak with a straight face. These people are so daring, they dare to let the Queen Mother pay the city fee.

Although the yachai 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 burly man with a ferocious face and a face full of flesh and blood: “Our boss is invited.”

Qiyou was full of anger, and when he heard this, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes: “Go away.”

In this Gucheng County, no one dared not give him the face of the big boss. However, this big man also knew that Yuxi and his party were from a foreign country, otherwise they would not have the courage to fight against them.

Dahan Qin Wu said in a wicked voice: “Our boss invites you, just to give you face, don’t toast, don’t eat or punish you.” If it wasn’t for the news that the guards this man carried with him were all masters, how could he still talk nonsense , tied the person directly.

Qiyou said with a sneer, “I want to see how you let us eat fine wine.”

Qin Wuda shouted: “Brothers, come out.” Soon, a large group of people rushed out from the surrounding.

Qiyou visually estimated that there were at least one hundred 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 guards’ hands, and these people’s faces were not afraid, I don’t know why Qin Wu felt a sense of unease.

As soon as he saw it, he moved his sword, and the people who had been watching the lively by the side scattered like a bird in shock.

Jane’s whole body was trembling with fear, and she tightly hugged the five siblings who were also blushing with fright.
