I'm the best at slapping the face

After a lively year, the merchants began to prepare supplies, horses and rations, and went to other cities for transactions, and the farmers began their spring plowing.

This year's temperature seems to be higher than any other year. The soil that has been frozen for the whole winter has begun to thaw. Spring plowing is related to a year's ration. Going into battle together, the fields and the weeds at the foot of the mountain are harvested, and even the small trees on the mountain are cut down. They are all put into the field, lit with a fire, and the ashes of the burned plants are spread evenly in the field. It is said that this can fertilize the field. This is the empirical discovery of farmers in farming.

The next step is to breed and raise seedlings. Choose a land of about 10 square meters, pour enough water into it, and then scatter the seeds. When the seeds germinate and grow into green seedlings, they will be transplanted into large fields uniformly.

In fact, at this time, many farmers have already discovered that this year's land seems to be very dry, and the water level in the ditch is very low. The water used for raising seedlings cannot be diverted to their own fields like in previous years, but strong farmers are needed. The men picked up bucket after bucket of water.

However, the peasants had a lot of strength, so everyone didn't care, thinking that the rice seedlings had grown, wouldn't it be enough for the next spring rain?

The temperature was too high, and the water in the rice seedling fields evaporated too quickly. The farmers had to transport water from the ditch river pond to irrigate. The water level in the ditch river pond dropped rapidly, and the silt at the bottom could already be seen. The rice seedlings grew up little by little, but they turned blue and yellow, the land in the field was dry and cracked, and the spring rains had not arrived. It seemed that the best planting period was about to be missed, and the farmers were very worried. The old farmers in the village had reached their destiny , Despair flashed across the face of the ravines - this is a drought!

Li Yuan sneaked to Pei's mansion dressed in rags, and when he saw Yan Xi, he smiled wryly and said, "It's messed up, it's completely messed up, the price of food has risen tenfold, and it's hard to buy it with money. I just went all the way." When I came here, I saw that many shops were closed, and there were looters in the clear sky, if I dressed well, I wouldn’t be able to come here at all.”

Yan Xi was silent for a moment, he was forced to do anything, human nature cannot stand the test in troubled times.

Li Yuan put the well-protected jar of pickles on the table, Yan Xi declined, "I don't want it, take it back quickly."

"I know you're worried that we won't have enough to eat. Don't worry. I've stored up a lot of food, enough for our family to feed for a year. If possible, I can donate to some neighbors. This altar of pickled vegetables was made by my father himself. He said Thank you for reminding us, you saved our family's life." Li Yuan grinned and said.

Yan Xi also smiled, "Good people are rewarded with good rewards." The village head and his family are decent.

The atmosphere is a little more relaxed.

Li Yuan talked about two things.

One is that some time ago, when the drought was just spreading among the common people, the Li family was picked up by the county magistrate Zheng. I am afraid that the magistrate Zheng had doubts about what Li Xiaoliu said before, and he did not dare to believe it completely. However, the current outbreak of the drought has proved Li Xiaoliu's ability, and the county magistrate Zheng really looked up to Li Xiaoliu and took his family away to take care of him.

The second thing is about Zhou Fulu, Yanxi also knows about it, after the year after the news, before the drought broke out, a businessman who was tricked into doing business with Zhou Fulu sued Zhou Fulu to the county government, Unexpectedly, the county government was so powerful. Not only did it seek justice for the businessman, but it also directly ransacked Zhou Fulu's house. Zhou Fulu was also sent to prison, and his behavior in prison was even more surprising. Confessed many criminal facts, such as the fact that his silk shop was able to open, and that the original capital was actually obtained by a team of several people from a young master from other places. For example, he once bought two young brothers one after another. , said to the outside world that he died of illness, but in fact he was beaten to death by himself.

For another example, there was a young brother from a farmer who sent the cotton cloth he wove for a whole year to his silk shop for consignment, but the young brother could not read, so he swallowed up all the cotton cloth, and so on, too many to enumerate At this time, the common people were still in the mood to watch the excitement, and they clamored to punish Zhou Fulu. Don't show mercy. Zhou Fulu should have been executed for the crime, so County Magistrate Zheng happily sentenced Zhou Fulu to beheaded.

Moreover, on the day Zhou Fulu was beheaded, he was escorted in a prison van and walked around the street. He heard that countless rotten vegetable leaves and small stones were thrown at him. In short, he was very embarrassed.

If there is no Li Xiaoliu's handwriting, Yan Xi would not believe it. Zhou Fulu must have been tortured to extract a confession in prison. Maybe the businessman who filed the complaint was also arranged by Li Xiaoliu and Zheng County Magistrate.

Chatted with Li Yuan for a while, and told him not to come here again during this time, and to be careful, Yan Xi sent him back while it was still early.

After Li Yuan left, Pei Shaoling called all the people in the Pei Mansion together, and gave orders one by one.

First of all, ask the housekeeper to find someone to close all the front and back doors of the Pei Mansion as quickly as possible. The Pei Mansion has stored enough food. In this year of drought, they can be completely self-sufficient. After all, this is only the town of Pei Mansion. Going to the other courtyard, there are only about 10 people. If a gang of gangsters rush in, none of the people in Pei's house will survive. Under limited conditions, they can only choose to protect themselves.

Secondly, several guards were arranged to be on duty, day and night, and no one was allowed to come in.

In the end, Pei Shaoling asked everyone to move into his yard, so that everyone lived closer together, so that no matter what happened, they would know immediately.

It's officially entering the summer, and the weather is hot like a big furnace. Yan Xi and Pei Shaoling can occasionally hear the movement outside from the outer wall. Apart from the sounds of beating and killing, there are also eleven princes who sent people to the various prefectures and counties. However, it is obvious that the porridge given can not take care of everyone, nor can it make people completely full, so burning, killing and looting often happen.

Pei Mansion has been attacked several times, the most dangerous one, a gang of 50 to [-] criminals, holding weapons and holding torches, rushed directly into the yard where Yanxi and the others lived in the middle of the night. During the time when the gate was closed, Yan Xi led people to dig several traps around the yard. Yan Xi, Pei Shaoling, and all the guards worked together to repel the gangsters in the end.

It's just that most of the courtyard of Pei's mansion was burned down, and the place was in a mess.

Under this kind of panic, summer passed, and autumn ushered in. Autumn was barren as always, and then winter wrapped in silver came. There was no rain in the whole year, but there was a heavy snow , Three days and three nights of heavy snow.

The heavy snow melted, the river was filled up again, and the land became moist again. Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, the drought was finally over!

The Eleventh Prince was very well prepared. During the spring plowing of another year, he organized people to distribute the grain seeds in their hands according to the population of the farmers and their fields.

Seeds, that is hope!

The smiles on the faces of ordinary people climbed up again, the disaster has passed, and a new life is about to begin!

In the face of this natural disaster, the performance of the eleventh prince attracted the attention of the world. The old emperor's body collapsed completely. The eleventh prince fulfilled his wish and ascended to the throne in the hearts of the people, known as Emperor Jing.

And Pei Shaoling once again received a letter from the emperor's family, urging him to go back quickly. At the same time, he also received a letter from Emperor Jing himself, urging him to go back. Now, it's okay not to reply!

Yan Xi looked at Pei Shaoling, who had undergone more than a year and nearly two years of conditioning and polishing, and was extremely fit and energetic, and smiled slightly, "Let's go to Lijia Village to meet an old friend, and then we will leave immediately."

The old people in Lijia Village, besides the village chief's family, of course there is also Li Dashi's family.

After listening to Li Xiaoliu's words, County Magistrate Zheng hoarded a large amount of grain, preparing to show his superiors a show in the drought.

But he didn't expect that the Eleventh Prince had also made preparations, and the preparations were more adequate than him. He even carried out a comprehensive disaster relief work within the coverage of the drought in the entire Daxing Dynasty. In his hands, of course he can still help the common people under his jurisdiction. After all, the common people can't starve to death, but they still can't get enough to eat!

But with the disaster relief of the eleven princes ahead, no matter what Zheng County magistrate does, he can't stand out from the drought. All the food for him was obtained by folding all his family property in exchange for it. He has become a pauper!

Magistrate Zheng doesn't bother to do things that are not beneficial!

So County Magistrate Zheng became angry with Li Xiaoliu, and drove Li Xiaoliu's family out of the county office during the cold winter before the drought was completely over, and did not give them a grain of food.

How could Li Xiaoliu's family obediently not resist?There must be nothing in their old house, and if they go back to Lijia Village with nothing, they will freeze to death if they don’t starve to death!

The Li family has been in the county government office for so long, and Li Xiaoliu was so close to the magistrate Zheng, so he naturally knew where he put the grain, so they started yelling on the street as soon as they were kicked out of the county government office. There are several rooms of grain stored in the back of the yamen, and it is almost moldy." "Magistrate Zheng would rather give the grain to mice than human beings." With these words, the hungry skinny people suddenly exploded!

Almost all the people in the county participated in this excitement. Thousands of ordinary people rushed into the county office, opened the granary, and saw the grains that were randomly placed in several large houses, and their eyes suddenly burned red. The ground of the granary was very wet. The grain on the bottom layer was moldy as rumored!

What kind of shit parent officer!

The common people divided up the grain of Zheng County Magistrate, and a few fierce men who took the lead rushed directly to Zheng County Magistrate's house and tied him up. They were going to kill him with one knife, but after calming down, these people did not act impulsively. , They put Zheng County magistrate still in the firewood room of the county government, let him also taste the taste of starvation and cold.

A man who has read poetry and books wrote thousands of words eloquently, and wrote all the evil deeds of Zheng County Magistrate, and then pasted a few blank papers in front of the county government gate. The white paper was almost dyed red, and a petition to severely punish the county magistrate Zheng was completed in just one day, and then was sent to Fucheng spontaneously by a strong man.

The officials of Fucheng were greatly shocked, and did not dare to delay for a moment to send the petition of the people to the imperial capital. The eleventh prince was furious, and directly sent the imperial envoy to the county government with the Shangfang sword. Take out Shangfang's sword, play its true role, and directly kill the county magistrate Zheng first and then play it!

The Li family was frightened, they just wanted to yell outside, to scare the magistrate Zheng, and magistrate Zheng gave them food and money, so they went back to Li's village obediently!

In the end, they ran back to Lijia Village in fear, only to find that not only their belongings were gone, but their house had also been taken!

Some people lost their families during the drought, and some even took their families to other places to find food when they couldn’t find food in their own villages. Generally, such people are more courageous and fierce. , Lijia Village is not far from the town and the county seat, and it is much more convenient to receive relief porridge, so when the Li family is away, it is normal for their house to be occupied !

The Li family asked the fierce man who occupied their house to return the house, but they refused. There were several adult men in this family, and the Li family couldn't beat them, so they ran to the village chief.

The village head is kind but not a fool. Although the family who occupied the house of Li's house was relatively fierce, they did not do anything to harm the villagers. On the contrary, the situation was not stable at that time, and occasionally outsiders came to kill them. When it comes to robbery, the men of this family are always at the forefront, so the village chief spread his hands, expressing that he is helpless!

As the head of the family, Li Dashi had no choice but to bring his family to the thatched hut where Yanxi once lived, at least there was a shelter.

Li Dashi looked at the thatched hut, thinking of the original owner, and even more of the three children whose father was forced to kill by Jiang. If, if those three children were all men, they should grow up by now and be able to stand up for the family. , Couldn't they grab the house back?

It's all Jiang's sins. He must have done too many sins. He Li Dashi has three children, but the third generation has only two young brothers in total, a thin man!

Therefore, Li Dashi has been pampering Jiang Shi to him, and regretted it for the first time!I am extremely sorry!

He thought that he was not at fault, and all the faults belonged to Jiang Shi, so he made a move on Jiang Shi for the first time!

Jiang Shi was beaten for the first time in her life, it was by Yan Xi in this thatched cottage.

The second time he was beaten was also in this thatched hut, but he was beaten by the head of the family, and in front of everyone in the Li family. The Jiang family, who has been rampant all his life, has no status in this family anymore!

And Li Xiaoliu was also blamed by the whole family!

Especially Li Laosan's husband was full of resentment. He originally married because of the good life of the Li family. He gave birth to the only man in the next generation of the Li family, but he still had no status in the family. Li Xiaoliu, he didn't even have a house to live in, so he screamed, rushed up and rode on Li Xiaoliu, bowed left and right, his face was slapped!

The sharp nails scratched Li Xiaoliu's face. In the current situation, how could the Li family have any money to treat Li Xiaoliu's face, so Li Xiaoliu finally left several long scars on his face!

Li Laosan's husband couldn't bear to suffer from hunger and cold with the Li family, so he asked Li Laosan: "The Li family has these scourges, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up for the rest of my life, I want to go back to my mother's house, will you go? Cover yourself with a tile! If you want to go, I will take Li Xiaobao with me, and the three of us will go together, but from now on, you are not allowed to meddle in the Li family's messy affairs. If you don't go, we will be divorced. "

All three members of the family went to the Yue family and lived by the Yue family. In fact, Li Laosan was considered a door-to-door son-in-law, and the door-to-door son-in-law was incompetent and had no status. However, Li Laosan thought about it and was still firm. agreed.

He didn't have much ability in the first place, and besides, in the Li family, he wasn't considered to have any status. Anyway, he didn't have the chance to intervene in big and small matters. He followed Fulang to Yue's house, and the child was by his side. For the rest of his life, he wouldn't have to fight As a bachelor, he still sleeps in his husband's arms, he is already very satisfied!

So, after the Li family huddled together in the thatched hut for one night, they found out the next day that the three members of Mr. Li's family had disappeared without leaving a single word.

Li and his wife also had a grudge against Li Xiaoliu, thinking that all this was caused by him. The two of them were very close to the Jiang family, so there was no kindness. There are many little brothers, but there are some parents who have a good wish. They hope that the child can live, so they sold the child in tears. Some parents, such as Li and his wife, they But he wanted to sell Li Xiaoliu for money so that he could live a better life.

So the couple quietly found Ren Yazi and sold Li Xiaoliu.

Li Xiaoliu would never have dreamed of it, but he was finally destroyed in the hands of his relatives!He wanted too much. If he was reborn, instead of pushing other people into the fire pit, he would forcefully refuse to marry Zhou Fulu and find another man to marry. He might not be able to live a good life.

Li and his wife also quietly disappeared from Lijia Village one night with the money they got from selling Li Xiaoliu.

Since then, only Li Dashi and Jiang's couple remained in the thatched hut in Lijia Village. They probably never dreamed that they raised so many children, but no one would take care of them until their death!

Li Dashi often thought of Boss Li in the second half of his life in poverty, thinking of his kindness, diligence, and filial piety. He became more and more disgusted. In the past, Mrs. Jiang liked to slap the boss Li's family of three at every turn, but now repeating the same mistakes, Li Dashi became angry when he saw him, and slapped him at every turn for no reason.

Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to resist. At such an old age, if he was dismissed and returned home, he would be completely dead, so he endured it. Later, when Yan Xi was in the imperial capital, he received a letter from Li Yuan, the new generation head of Li Family Village. , the same night, Jiang set fire to the thatched cottage, and without knowing where he got the strength, he trapped Li Dashi tightly and did not let him out, and the two died together!

Their corpses were collected by Li Yuan!Li Lao Er and Li Lao San have never returned to Li Family Village since then.

Before leaving, Yan Xi and Pei Shaoling came to Li's Village, said goodbye to Li Yuan and others, and then accompanied them to the thatched cottage.

At this time, Li Laosan's family had already left, Li Xiaoliu had been sold, and Li Laosan and his wife also disappeared, so when Yan Xi came, only Li Dashi and Jiang Shi came out of the house.

Mrs. Jiang had a look of resentment on her face. She didn't know what he was hating. The three members of Mr. Li's family were almost killed by him. His current fate was completely self-inflicted.

Yan Xi looked at Li Dashi with a calm expression, the Li family will come to this point, the root of everything lies in Li Dashi!

"Xiao Yu'er (the original owner's name is Li Xiaoyu), come to Grandpa quickly, let Grandpa take a good look at you, all this is Jiang's fault, otherwise your father, daddy and those children would not ... Don't worry, I won't make it easy for him, I will get it back for you for what he did to you before."

Didn't Li Dashi acquiesce?Ah!

"You didn't know beforehand that Mrs. Jiang asked daddy to abort those children? You didn't know beforehand that Mrs. Jiang forced him to go out to do farm work when my father was exhausted? You didn't know beforehand that Mrs. Jiang ruined my reputation You know? You didn’t know about the fact that Mrs. Jiang drove me away and left me to fend for myself?” There are too many such facts!

Li Dashi was speechless.

"Li Xiaoyu is dead, goodbye." See you forever!

The matter of the original owner's family of three was undoubtedly heavy, Yanxi mourned for them for a few days.

Pei Shaoling thought that Yan Xi couldn't forget the past, so he racked his brains to find delicious food for Yan Xi along the way, and even poured some interesting jokes to Yan Xi, thinking of ways to make him happy, Yan Xi couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only smile happily, and happily walked towards the imperial capital.

When they arrived at the imperial capital, the Pei family had already sent someone to welcome them at the gate of the city. Yan Xi and Pei Shaoling changed into a more comfortable carriage and headed towards Duke Pei's mansion.

That's right, male prince, the Pei family is the most powerful person in the Daxing Dynasty other than the royal family. Pei Shaoling's father is the current Duke of Pei Guo. Frail and sick, he passed away long ago. Later, Duke Pei married a husband, surnamed Zeng and named Lian, and gave birth to a man, the second young master of the Duke's mansion, named Pei Shaoqian.

When they arrived at Duke Pei's mansion, the two got out of the carriage, took a soft sedan chair, and were carried to the low-key and gorgeous reception hall of Duke Pei's mansion.

Oh, the damned aristocratic life!

As soon as they got out of the sedan chair, the two of them received countless gazes, especially Yan Xi, who felt that he had been swept up and down eight hundred times, Yan Xi's face was calm, but his heart was slandering, as if he had never seen a little brother !

"My grandson!" A drawn-out voice shouted excitedly, it was one of the first two elderly people sitting in the main hall, and looking at his clothes, he should belong to Pei Shaoling.

Pei Shaoling seemed to have a good relationship with his Memo, so he was pulled by Memo to look up and down, and seeing his grandson's tall, tall, handsome appearance, he couldn't help wiping away his tears.

It took a lot of time just to talk about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked very weak sitting next to the Duke asked softly, "Who is this country boy?" Who? Shaoling, don’t you want to introduce everyone?”

Yan Xi: It's true that I'm a countryman, but with which eye do you see my country spirit? !Don't make it so obvious to find faults!
