"I see!"

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

"So, how many times does your family eat meat every year?"

"Eat meat?"

Hearing this, Wang Tieshi gave a wry smile, "If the villain is lucky, he can hunt some prey in the mountains and eat some meat. If he can't hunt the prey, he will only be willing to spend twenty pennies every year during the New Year's Eve. Buy some meat in the city to eat!"

"Then what kind of clothes do you wear in winter?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly noticed that Wang Tieshi's worn out burlap clothes with several big holes in front of him.

Then, they fell silent.

Wang Tieshi was not embarrassed about this. He grinned and explained with a smile: "In the past few years, the situation in the villain's house has been getting better and better. Even in winter, the villain can wear several pieces of clothes. It's still warm to sew some rags or feathers and weeds between the two layers of clothes!

If it was placed when the villain was young, some people in the village would often freeze to death in winter. "

Li Chengqian: "..."

"What do you eat every day?"

"Back to my lord, now the villain's family can eat more dross, and every few days, they can have a meal of fine grains!" Wang Tieshi said.

Speaking of this, a sincere smile flashed across his face.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was silent again.

"Gao Ming, I can go to other people's homes to take a look later!"

Cheng Chusi said quickly.

"Alright!"

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

……

Chapter 802 Two Villages Ahead Are Fighting

After half an hour.

More than 20 people in the whole village visited it.

Li Chengqian's heart was even heavier.

It seems that in Xiaohe Village, Wang Tieshi's family is doing well.

"Why are you all so poor?"

At the entrance of the village, Li Chengqian finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"..."

Wang Tieshi was silent for a while, but thinking of the identity of the young gentleman in front of him is not simple, he still replied slowly.

"My lord doesn't know that the life of villains and others has been very good in the past two years. If it was a few years ago, the villains would have no food to eat in winter.

There are no wild vegetables on the mountain, and many people can only eat tree roots and boil bark to satisfy their hunger.

Every year, people die of starvation, I don't know how many people there are.

Now, I wait for the village to make some money by taking advantage of the concrete road on the side.

In addition, the imperial court has food, and the taxes on us are not so heavy.

The people can take a breath so that they can eat enough, and they won't freeze to death in winter.

......"

Following Wang Tieshi's words, Li Chengqian's eyes gradually widened.

This was the first time he had heard of these things.

"Then you are so pitiful!"

Beside Xue Rengui, Li Chenglu couldn't help looking at Wang Tieshi with sympathy.

"Thank you for your concern, Xiao Lang. Now that I can have such a life, the villain and others are already very satisfied!"

Wang Tieshi arched his hands slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"Don't worry, you will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Li Chengqian said solemnly.

"Thank you sir!"

Wang Tieshi bowed his hand again.

"Thanks to the strong man for showing me the situation in Xiaohe Village. This is our little reward. Please don't dislike the strong man!"

With that said, Li Chengqian signaled Cheng Chusi to take out a handful of copper coins from his body and hand them to Wang Tieshi.

Seeing this, Wang Tieshi's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands again and again, "It's a villain who takes the nobleman to understand the situation in the village. Please don't humiliate the villain like this!"

"The elders are so hypocritical. Giving you money is to humiliate you? You took me to check the introduction from door to door, could it be because of your physical strength and knowledge?"

Cheng Chusi's eyes suddenly became the size of a copper bell, and he took Wang Tieshi's hand and put the money in Wang Tieshi's hand.

"Besides, you have been under this general's command for a period of time anyway. You are regarded as this general's pawn. If you don't accept this general's reward, don't you look down on this general?"

Hearing this, Wang Tieshi was startled, and subconsciously took it.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi smiled in satisfaction, and then walked out of the village with Li Chengqian and others.

At the entrance of the village, looking at the crowd of people outside the village, Wang Tieshi seemed to think of something, his eyes gradually widened, his face full of disbelief!

"How are you looking?"

Li Xuan, who was lying on a large clean bluestone, basking in the sun, saw Li Chengqian and the others coming back, and asked with a smile.

"Third Uncle, the people of my Tang Dynasty are extremely poor!"

Li Chengqian said with a sad face.

"anything else?"

Li Xuan continued to ask.

Li Chengqian thought for a moment, then said again: "The people are kind and honest."

"fart!"

Li Xuan turned over and lay on his side, and propped himself up with one arm, and with Li Chengqian's surprised expression, he continued: "This is because you have a large number of people, and you are obviously a group of dignitaries.

If only you and Ren Gui walked in, among other things, according to the warm and gorgeous clothes you are wearing, some old farmers who can't stand the cold can be turned over for you and take off your clothes! "

"Master, how could they do such a thing?"

Li Chengqian looked disbelieving.

"Ask Ren Gui yourself!"

Li Xuan didn't want to say more, and lay down again, basking in the sun with his eyes squinted.

After eating at noon, it is easy to feel sleepy.

In addition, basking in such a warm sun, it is even more comfortable to squint.

"Dalang, among all the people, there are kind-hearted and honest people, and there are treacherous people."

Being stared at by Li Chengqian and the three great Confucians beside him, Xue Rengui could only reply honestly.

"Besides, Master's words have another meaning. Many times, all good and evil depend on your strength. As long as you are strong enough, no one can beat you, even if you are walking with a basket of delicious steamed buns among those who are almost hungry. There were many dead victims in front of them, but they didn't dare to snatch them.

And if you are alone, you look powerless, but you are wearing gorgeous clothes, walking in the countryside, some treacherous people will covet you, and they will try their best to make you lose the power to resist. All valuables on your body. "

"They will too?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, then turned to look at the village he just came out of.

"Dalang, if you go in alone, there are two people, even if they won't attack you in the village, they will definitely follow you out!"

Xue Rengui said.

"Why is that so?"

Li Chengqian said helplessly.

"Because they are poor!"

Xue Rengui sighed softly, "When a commoner is so poor that he cannot eat a meal or wear a single piece of clothing for three days, even if they have good hearts in their hearts, they will be forced to do some evil things!"

"But how can these poor people become rich?"

After being silent for a long time, Li Chengqian said helplessly.

"Look more, think more!"

Li Xuan said leisurely.

After that, he got up from the big bluestone and walked to the carriage.

"It's almost time to rest. Pack up and start to set off. Maybe you can reach the next county before dark!"

"Yes, third uncle!"

"Yes, Master..."

After a while of busy work, the group set off again.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, was lying in the carriage covered with cotton pads, with a drowsy face.

……

Two days later, a group of people came to Qingshui County below Longzhou.

"Da Lang, Da Lang, two villages ahead are fighting!"

After lunch, all the people were lying on the ground basking in the sun, when one or two personal guards rushed over.

"The two villages are fighting?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Li Chenglu, and Li Xiaogong all got up with a grunt, and looked at the two guards curiously.

"what happened?"

"Why did the two villages fight?"

"Back to Dalang, gentlemen, when the villain was on guard, he heard the noise from a distance, and looked around with clairvoyance, but found two groups of farmers above the river, holding various farm tools, in the small Fight by the river!"

The guard quickly replied.

"How many people are fighting?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan felt that something was wrong, so he asked directly.

"Back to the proprietor, the number of farmers in the two groups is about the same, adding up to about 100 people!"

Guard Road.

"Come on, come out 200 people, follow me up to persuade the fight!"

Li Xuan shouted directly.

Fights between two villages, especially in this era, would definitely kill each other directly. That was Li Xuan, who didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, so he couldn't turn a blind eye to such a situation!

Chapter 803 The reason

"Yes, proprietor!"

Soon, two hundred guards with steel knives and shields followed Li Xuan, led by the two guards, and went up the river.

As for such a lively event, Li Chengqian, Li Chenglu, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Chusi and other bastards naturally couldn't fall behind.

After the group of people walked for nearly a thousand steps, they heard a cry of killing and the sound of iron objects colliding.

Hearing this, Li Xuan, Xue Rengui and the others couldn't help speeding up their pace once their expressions changed.

Sure enough, after turning a big bend, on the land beside the river in front, the two waves of farmers had already smashed into a pot of rotten porridge.

To Li Xuan's relief, these peasants were quite restrained. The weapons they held in their hands were iron shovels, wooden rakes, shovels, iron pickets, hoes and other agricultural tools, and they did not use machetes.
