Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

Of course, the villagers who came to Liu Jinbei temporarily were glad that they were not fooled, but the family members of the men who had joined the army began to worry.

Although they didn't see the scars on Liu Jinbei's body with their own eyes, there are so many villagers at the scene who can speak well.

"I didn't see Liu Jinbei's middle finger, so I felt something was wrong. I've only been away for a few days, why is he missing a finger? In my opinion, he didn't go to serve in the army at all." Aunt Li described in an exaggerated tone Looking at the situation of Liu Jinbei.

"Aunt Li, you weren't there at the time, how do you make it seem real?"

"Why am I not here? I was just watching at the gate of the yard! I thought that my youngest son was about the same age. If Liu Jinbei took other people away, I would go in and tell him to let him take my precious Jinpiao as well." Take it away. Fortunately, God bless you, this is also the good fortune of my golden bump, and it can be regarded as escaping a catastrophe."

Liu Jiuzhu came down from the mountain with medicinal materials on his back.

"Zhuzi, Zhuzi, you silly girl, what kind of medicine are you picking at this time, something serious happened!" Aunt Li shouted to Liu Jiuzhu, "Come here quickly, something happened to your man."

Liu Jiuzhu went up the mountain early in the morning, not knowing what happened in the village.Hearing Mrs. Li mention her man, she came over with a basket on her back.

She was in such a hurry that she almost stepped into a mud puddle.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jiuzhu asked.

"Liu Jinbei didn't join the army at all, but was kidnapped and abducted by the bad guys. Just now they tore off his clothes, and he was beaten terribly with the scars on his body. I heard people said that someone cheated him before. People from the same country went out, saying they wanted to make a lot of money, but ended up being kidnapped. The people from the same country didn’t want to, so they were tortured in various ways. Eating shit was easy, and they broke their arms and legs, cut off their tongues and threw them outside. beggars begging for money."

"The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes." The person next to him looked terrified, "They are different from that one. They went after reading the notice from the yamen. Besides, they also followed the people from the government when they signed up."

"Maybe those government officials are also fake."

"impossible."

Liu Jiuzhu heard them talking incoherently, interrupted their dispute, and asked, "Where is Liu Jinbei?"

"I ran away early." Aunt Li said, "Several people in the village went to catch him. At this time, he is like a loach, not slippery."

"I'll go home first." Liu Jiuzhu went back with a basket on his back.

The villagers looked at Liu Jiuzhu's back, and faint gossip came into her ears.When those aunts and aunts get together, they talk to each other and talk to each other, and they only say a few words about her, such as life and death.

Yang Qingsi ran over from the field ridge, saw Liu Jiuzhu, and said anxiously: "Zhuzi, have you heard? Your cheap brother is covered in injuries. He looks like he was whipped, not from training."

Liu Jiuzhu nodded lightly: "I heard about it just now."

"Yang Xiaoyu inquired about the news from the village next door, saying that those who signed up to join the army did not go to the barracks for training at all, but went to other places. As for the place, that person didn't say. Now the village next door is rioting, saying I want to send that person to the government to ask what happened to the people in the government. Ten people went to the next village, eight people went to our village, and there are other villages. It’s impossible for so many people to disappear out of thin air, right?”

"What did the village chief say?"

"I passed by the village chief's house just now, and I heard the elders inside were also talking about this matter. They said to go to the yamen to inquire first, so as not to cause any misunderstandings, and then say that our village is causing trouble."

"We'll follow along to see."

Liu Jiuzhu put the things back and went to the village chief's house with Yang Qingsi.

The village chief saw the two girls and refused to let them follow him.

"Village Chief, my husband is gone, I have to figure out what's going on." Liu Jiuzhu insisted.

"What are you going to do with me, a little girl? There are so many people in the village, do you still need to be your leader? We don't know the situation yet, and if there is a trouble, we will take care of you. Don't go, we will figure it out. The village head said, "Let's go to the next village to ask later. If they also go, we will go together. If there are more people and more confidence, it is better than this three melons and two dates!"

The village chief refused to let him go, so Liu Jiuzhu and Yang Qingsi planned to follow secretly to have a look.

Yang Xiaoyu was willing to help them, and ran to his uncle's house to borrow the ox cart.

The bullock cart of Zhong Shugen's family was requisitioned by the village chief.Mrs. Zhong still wanted to collect money, and the village chief was so angry that he asked her directly whether she wanted a son or how much money. If Zhong Shugen felt that Zhong Shugen was not worth a few cents, then he would be ignored.

How dare Mrs. Zhong ignore her son?

Although the eldest son was sent to the retirement age, she also raised the second son hard. Seeing that there is an extra strong laborer, if she just disappears like this, she will have no place to cry.So, the bullock cart was used by them.

yamen.The county magistrate was very angry after listening to his subordinates' report.

Zhang Yuanwai said beside him, "Uncle, do those unruly people dare to turn the world upside down? Don't worry about them. If they ask, just say that it's the Ministry of War's business. You are a local official, and you can't control the Ministry of War."

"To put it lightly, if there is a rebellion, you will be responsible?" The county magistrate looked at Zhang Yuanwai, "I tell you to calm down, you haven't caused trouble for me recently, have you?"

"No."

Even if there was, no one dared to make a fuss in the Yamen. Who didn't know that his uncle was the county magistrate?

Isn't it the same as falling into his hands if it comes to the Yamen?Besides, apart from that stinky girl from the Liu family, there was no one who didn't give him face.

That girl from the Liu family...

I heard that the man also joined the army.

If you don't come back, hehe...

"I don't know what's going on over there." The county magistrate said, "A few days ago, I came to inquire about a person called Lu Ze overnight. He said that Captain Xue valued him very much, and he was a talent."

Zhang Yuanwai: "..."

Really haunted.

"You guys go find Liu Jinbei." The county magistrate said to his opponent, "We must control him, and then..."

The magistrate muttered something to his subordinates.

The subordinates hurried to find someone.

Zhang Yuanwai was ridiculous all night and was sleepy.If it wasn't for business, he wouldn't be here to listen to the county magistrate's uncle's reprimand.

"Uncle, since there is a shortage of people in the Ministry of War, why not arrange an errand for me and let me do something."

"You? Just take care of your shop and fields honestly." The county magistrate said, "Don't get involved in this muddy water."

"Uncle, if you don't take care of me for such a good opportunity to make a fortune, are you still my uncle? I can't make much money in business all my life."

The county magistrate said nothing to let Zhang Yuanwai join in.

He didn't mean how much he felt sorry for his nephew, but he was worried about his mind.

A stupid idiot like him, being a bully and still relying on his protection to live until now, if he really got involved in such a big matter, he might not even know how he died.

People from Liujia Village and the three neighboring villages rushed to the county government office, beating drums to complain, and demanding an explanation.

They were ready to make a big disturbance in the court, but the people in the county government did not embarrass them. Even the government servants who had always looked up to the top welcomed them in with a smile, which made the villagers feel uneasy.

After entering the county government office, the servant greeted him with good tea and snacks.

Where have these countrymen seen such a battle?

They plucked up the courage to meet the officials, and even prepared to be punished.However, instead of being boarded, they greeted them so enthusiastically, which made them feel flattered.

The county magistrate didn't keep them waiting and walked out quickly.

The majestic official lord sat at the top and said to the villagers below: "What are you doing standing there? Sit down, sit down."

"My lord." Everyone saluted.

"Okay, I heard, you sit down first." The county magistrate said with a smile, "I've come all the way, I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, eat something first, I will handle it for you, Don't worry."

The magistrate's attitude gave them courage.

"My lord, we just want to meet our family." One of the old men said, "My son has been in the army for more than a month, and he hasn't come back once. I don't know if it's true that I have three taels of silver every month." It’s still fake. Of course, we don’t ask for this money now, we just want them to come back. The land at home is left uncultivated, and I’m afraid we won’t even be able to pay the food tax next year!”

The county magistrate said: "It's a good thing that the child has joined the army. What do you want him to do when he comes back? If he can't pay the grain tax next year, then use silver to pay for it. Three taels of silver a month. Are you afraid that you won't be able to pay the grain tax?"

"My child joined the army secretly, and neither his mother nor I knew about it. Originally, we made an engagement for him, and we could have a big fat grandson when he got married. Now that he's gone, I don't know when he will come back , When can we hug our big fat grandson? My lord, why don't you put my son back first, let him complete the marriage, and then let him go back?"

The country man spoke pitifully, not saying a word about whether there was a problem with the so-called conscription, but every sentence was probing, thinking about whether there was a chance to get his son back. care.

"This is a bit troublesome." The county magistrate sighed softly, "I am a local official, and I can only take care of local affairs. The military department is not under my control. I have to look at the faces of the people there. Don't worry too much." , I’ve only been away for a month, and I’m still a new recruit, so I can’t be released right away. If I’m released at this time, the previous training will be wasted!”

"My lord, we heard some bad things, and we are really worried about our children." The other man was much more honest.If the county magistrate doesn't accept the move, he can only hit a straight ball.Otherwise, when will we get to the point?

"What bad words?"

"Some people say that the conscription is fake." said the man, "Our children have been sold as slaves!"

"What?" The county magistrate slapped the table angrily, "That is an official document posted by the government. If it is fake, what is our government? You don't know a single word, and I don't blame you for believing rumors. But you have to know , The official document posted by the county magistrate must have been instructed by the above, and we dare not recruit troops in private."
