Xia Haisheng smiled bitterly.

"We want to report it!

But the government doesn't listen to us at all.

Those officials have long been bribed by the landlords, and their officials and businessmen colluded.

Once we dare to resist, officers and soldiers will come to our door.

We are just a bunch of little people, what can we do?

As long as we still have a little hope, we won't let Ansheng's life be nothing but a rogue gangster! "

At the end of the day, he and his two cousins ​​couldn't help but red eyes, obviously despairing of this world.

Yu curled up and asked, "Then what's the matter with the conscription you said?"

Xia Haisheng eased his mood before speaking.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that the Eastern Expedition Army is recruiting, and the number is still quite large."

Yu Weiwei showed a thoughtful look.

It's the Eastern Expedition again.

First, taxes were raised, and then there was a massive annexation of land, all for the purpose of hoarding money and food.

Not only that, but they are also recruiting.

This is obviously a big move!

Lu Yao's hands clenched into fists.

"What's the name of your local county magistrate?"

Xia Haisheng looked inexplicable: "I am a common man, how can I know the name of the county magistrate? I only know his surname Li, what are you asking about this?"

Lu Yao didn't answer.

There was a breath in his heart.

He thought that under his father's governance, Liaodong County should be thriving.

Unexpectedly, the officials below would dare to deceive the top and the bottom, and collude with the squires and fish in the village!

When he returns home, he must tell his father what happened here, and let his father severely punish those corrupt officials!

The villagers of Xiajia Village soon returned.

They placed the patients they brought in under the shade of a tree.

Angelica and Yu curled up a small table, and Luo Pingsha sat on the floor behind the table, diagnosing and treating the patient's pulse.

Probably because Luo Pingsha has a baby face and looks like a half-old child who hasn't grown up, those patients have certain doubts about his medical skills.

It wasn't until Luo Pingsha revealed their condition just by diagnosing the pulse that they believed that the little man in front of him had real skills.

It took Luo Pingsha an hour to read all the patients.

He prescribed prescriptions to everyone, and the medicinal materials he used were all cheap and common.

The patients are holding the prescription like a treasure.

In this regard, Xia Haisheng is both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that the villagers' condition has finally been cured, but the sad thing is that they have no money and can't get medicine.

Take a step back and say that even if they catch the medicine and cure the villagers, how will they live in the future? Do you want to live by robbery all the time?

Yu Curly took out one hundred taels of silver notes and handed it to Xia Haisheng.

"I can see that you have an opinion.

You use this money to get medicine for the villagers and buy some food.

In the future, if you have nowhere to go, you can leave Liaodong County, go to Wangsong City, and find the local magistrate Liu. "

Then she took out another letter.

"After reading this letter, Magistrate Liu will arrange a place for you."

Xia Haisheng was so moved that he immediately knelt down to her.

"Girl's kindness and virtue, we will never forget it!"

Yu curling asked him to stand up and speak.

Xia Haisheng took the bank note and letter with both hands, and his hands were shaking with excitement: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

Yu Huaiwei felt that this was a good opportunity to gain popularity. She wanted to reveal her identity, but she was worried that if her identity was leaked, it would bring threats to herself and the people around her.

After weighing it, she decided to continue to conceal her identity.

"My surname is Yu, my husband's surname is Xiao, as for our identities...

When you arrive at Wangsong City and meet the magistrate Liu, he will naturally tell you. "

Xia Haisheng gave her a deep bow.

"Mrs. Xiao saved our entire Xiajia Village, you are like reborn parents to us.

We keep this kindness in our hearts.

In the future, if you have any use for us, just say a word, even if you go up the mountain and go down to the sea of ​​fire, we will do it! "

Yu curled up and said: "After you arrive at Wangsong City, you must live a good life. If there is a fate in the future, we may meet again."

Xia Haisheng nodded solemnly: "Yeah!"

Lu Yao was still immersed in anger and shock, and he didn't notice what Yu and Xia Haisheng said.

Angelica and Luo Pingsha moved the low table back to the car.

Xia Haisheng led someone to remove the trees in the middle of the road.

There was no obstacle, and the carriage was able to travel smoothly.

The villagers stood on the side of the road and watched the two carriages go away.

Next, they passed through several villages. The situation was almost the same as that of Xiajia Village. All the villagers ran away, leaving only empty houses and large areas of deserted fields that were uncultivated.

Lu Yao became more and more angry.

When he entered the city, he immediately said to the little book boy.

"I have something to do. You go to the inn with the three brothers and sisters of the Yu family first, and I'll go to you after I'm done."

"it is good."

It is evening now.

When Lu Yao found the county office, it was dark.

He knocked on the door, and the yamen who opened the door was very impatient.

"Is there anything you can't wait for tomorrow? Didn't you see that it was getting dark? Hurry up and go! If you don't go, don't blame me for being rude to you?!"

Lu Yao directly took out the seal he carried with him.

"I'm the eldest son of the county governor's office. I'm passing through this place. I have something to talk to the county magistrate."

The yamen dubiously took the letter and looked at it.

But he had never seen what the seal of the county governor looked like, so he couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the seal.

"You wait here for a while, and I'll be back when I go."

The yamen turned around and ran to the master, and showed the seal to the master.

When the master saw the seal, he knew it was true, so he hurried to inform the magistrate, and the two hurried to meet Young Master Lu.

The gate of the county government was open, and Lu Yao was invited in by everyone politely.

The county magistrate ordered someone to set up a banquet and treat the eldest son of Lu well.

Lu Yao was in no mood to eat or drink at the moment.

He opened his mouth.

"I passed several villages along the way, and found that all the people in the villages ran away, and the large fields were uncultivated and turned into wasteland. What's going on?"

He thought the county magistrate would feel guilty and panic.

Who knows, the county magistrate just smiled: "Young master doesn't know, it's those villagers who owe money and hide it by themselves. It has nothing to do with us."

Lu Yao was angry: "It's already this time, you're still talking nonsense?

I have already inquired, those villagers are all for you to force away!

It is you who privately raised taxes and forced the people to live, so they could only sell their fields cheaply. "

The county magistrate hurriedly complained.

"Young master misunderstood!

The lower official is just a seventh-grade sesame official, how can he have the guts to increase taxes without permission?

These are all orders from the county governor, and we all act according to orders. "

Lu Yao couldn't believe it.

"What did you say? My father has always loved the people like a son, how could he do such a thing?!"

The county magistrate said: "We didn't leave a penny of the taxes we collected, and handed them all over to the county governor. If you don't believe me, you can ask the county governor about this."
