I am the county magistrate in Daming

Chapter 15 So Fragrant!Mu Qingtian said so

After overcoming the first difficulty, Mu Qingtian began his journey of "private visits on micro-services".Door visits are necessary, but he is now penniless, only a useless emerald cabbage.It was the first time he came to the door empty-handed, and Mu Qingtian was still a little nervous.

After thinking about it again and again, he still decided to let Yao Qin visit with him.Both he and Wu Tingyun are not locals, and they don't know much about local customs. If they offend others, they will put the cart before the horse.

"My lord, we'd better go in the next year." Yao Qin suggested after hearing Mu Qingtian's plan.

"Why?"

When Youshi was approaching sunset, he could only visit two households at most before returning.You can't live in someone else's house when you meet for the first time, eating and drinking.

"When the rooster crows, everyone will go to the fields to cultivate. This is the rule set by Mr. Zhang. They eat early at Chenshi, and most people don't go home. They eat the dry food they brought directly on the field."

Mu Qingtian nodded, and then asked: "What about before and after Shen Shi, just avoid the time for eating."

Yao Qin smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the common people who leased the land from Mr. Zhang have to work from sunrise to sunset. Even if it's evening food, they can't go home, but gather together and wait for Zhang's release." meal."

"Seven hours?!" Mu Qingtian was surprised, and silently converted it into hours in his heart, that is, a full fourteen hours without a break!

Yao Qin didn't continue talking, leaving Mu Qingtian to think for himself.

Zhang Fu and Li Canshi jointly embezzled the land of the people, and then pretended to be merciful and hired them to work in the fields.Although there is monthly money, most of these monthly money are used to pay the land rent, and what the people can actually get is less than ten dollars a month.

The most important thing is that everyone worked so hard, but none of the food in the field belonged to them, and all of it belonged to Zhang Fu.

Yao Qin saw these things in his eyes, he pitied the people in Zimingli, but never thought of helping them.Everyone has their own destiny, Master's death is destiny, and the people in Zimingli are oppressed by Zhang Fu, this is also destiny.

If it wasn't for Mu Qingtian's arrival, he would still be muddled and muddling along like before.

Mu Qingtian gave him the goal of living - to repay his kindness.The master picked him up, and he finally collected the body for the master, and this kindness is over.When Mu Qingtian no longer needs him one day in the future, he will remember this kindness in his heart.

"Then Youshi." The more Mu Qingtian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and decided to listen to Yao Qin first, and quietly understand the situation before talking.

"Are you going today, my lord?"

"En." Mu Qingtian nodded, "I don't know much about the situation of each household in Zimingli. Which one does Yao Qin think is better to go first?"

"There is a fairly well-to-do family in the east of the village, surnamed He. There are five members in the family and they have their own fields. You might as well start with this family, so that Lord Shen Shiqian can go there." Qin still considerately chose a family for Mu Qingtian, which is not so difficult to deal with.

"it is good."

Wu Tingyun is very strange, it is already Shen Shi, and Mu Qingtian should have knocked on the bowl at this time and asked him to eat, why didn't he even see a shadow today?

He walked to the study room, turned around but saw no one, went to the front hall again, but still didn't see Mu Qingtian and Yao Qin.The matter has not been found out yet, he must keep an eye on Mu Qingtian all the time.

Fu Bao was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, Wu Tingyun walked up and asked, "Where is your lord?"

"Young Master and Yao Qin have gone out."

Wu Tingyun frowned slightly when he heard Yao Qin's name, and asked again: "Where did you go?"

Maybe it was because Wu Tingyun's tone was too aggressive, as if he was interrogating, Fu Bao was also a little unhappy, and said, "You don't need to report to us wherever you go, young master."

The troubles of the past few days made Wu Tingyun hold a breath in his chest, and he couldn't vent to Mu Qingtian, but he was not generous enough to let him climb on his head and act wild to mere Fubao.

Wu Tingyun gave Fu Bao a contemptuous look, turned around and left.He deliberately exerted force under his feet, bringing up a gust of wind, and blowing up all the leaves that Fu Bao had just swept into a pile.

"You! You!" Fu Bao stood on the spot and hopped, fearing Wu Tingyun's aura and kung fu, so he didn't dare to confront him head-on.

"You wait, I'll tell the young master!"

Wu Tingyun sneered, but began to look forward to how Mu Qingtian would judge this matter after hearing about it.Is it caring, or justice?After all, it was Fu Bao who made the first insult, not him.

At this time, Mu Qingtian was at He's house, and didn't know that there was a "fire" in the backyard.

Mu Qingtian looked serious, and every once in a while she had to tidy up her clothes and smooth out the wrinkles.

"Yao Qin, do you see that my clothes are not reversed?"

Yao Qin let out a chuckle, and felt that something was wrong, he suppressed his smile and went to Mu Qingtian's side and said, "My lord, this is the sixth time you've asked Cao Min this question. Don't worry, my lord, you are well dressed. It’s not wrong, and it’s not wrong.”

Mu Qingtian looked sideways at Yao Qin sadly, and said, "Six times?"

"No." Yao Qin is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

When it came to the door, Mu Qingtian flinched, and stood there for almost a quarter of an hour without daring to knock on the door.The people in Zimingli don't like him, and now he still comes uninvited, without bringing any souvenirs, and if he is beaten out with a broom later, it will be embarrassing!

Yao Qin didn't urge him, and stood with Mu Qingtian until the boss of the He family came back.

"Brother Qin? Why are you here?" The boss of the He family put down the hoe in his hand and came up to him.

Yao Qin saved the life of the younger brother of the He family, so He Shengcai was very friendly to him, and recognized him at a glance just by his back.

"Who is this?" He Shengcai looked at Mu Qingtian and asked.

"Lord Mu, our new Lizheng."

Mu Qingtian was about to say hello to this rough-looking man, when he saw his legs tremble, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".

"My lord, there are old and young among the grassland people, and the whole family relies on these fields to live, please be merciful!"

Mu Qingtian wanted to cry, but almost knelt down.What's going on with the people here, can we still communicate properly!Does he look that scary?He can't bear to be "merciful" and "forgive my lord" at every turn... It is said that kneeling reduces his life by ten years, so if he calculates it, he will not have a few years to live!

"Get up, it's cold on the ground."

Yao Qin observed Mu Qingtian's expression, helped He Shengcai up, and whispered: "He Da, Mr. Mu is different from what we think, you can say what you have to say later, don't kneel, you don't like it. "

He Shengcai glanced at Yao Qin gratefully, nodded and got up, and stood aside with respect and fear.

"How was the vegetable feast a few days ago?" Mu Qingtian slowed down his speech, trying to make himself appear kind.

"Returning to my lord, Caomin's family ate very well." It was also the first time they ate so full.He Shengcai didn't say what happened next.

"I know that I am an outsider, but since I came to Zimingli and served as the Lizheng here, we will be a family from now on."

"Don't dare." He Shengcai said in a low voice.

After chatting at the door, Mu Qingtian felt that the boss of the He family was still very reserved, so he proposed to go to his house for a sit-down, hoping that the boss of the He family could relax a little in the familiar environment.

"Sir, please."

As soon as he entered, Mu Qingtian was attracted by a pile of cabbages piled up in the corner.As soon as He Shengcai turned his head to invite Mu Qingtian to sit down, he was shocked by his wolf-like eyes.Looking at the past along the line of sight, his heart skipped a beat, and it rose to his throat in an instant.

"My lord." He Shengcai smiled awkwardly, "These are the cabbages that were just harvested this morning, and they are going to be stored for the winter."

Zhang Fu sent thugs to destroy his family's field. All the rice was uprooted and most of the soil was destroyed.It was too late to plant again, so he had to go to another field overnight to harvest rapeseed, and planned to take half of it to the county to exchange money for rice, and dry the rest for the winter.

This pile of vegetables is the life of their family and must not be handed over.

"Okay, hehe, okay, cabbage is good." Mu Qingtian looked away reluctantly.

"The humble house is simple, I hope the adults don't mind."

The He family of five huddled together in a dilapidated brick house, with only a few old screens set up as partitions between the rooms.The table was placed in the very center of the room. As soon as Mu Qingtian and Yao Qin entered, the whole room became extremely crowded.

He Shengcai was very restrained at first, until Mu Qingtian saw the child who quietly poked his head out from behind the screen.Mu Qingtian waved, and the child ran out with a small step holding a cloth tiger.

He Shengcai watched his son sit on Mu Qingtian's lap, his horror was no less than seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.Mu Qingtian teased the child in his arms, and successfully gained He Shengcai's trust.He Shengcai told all the good things that Zhang Fu had done in collusion with Li Canshi over the years. When he mentioned his family's field, even though he was a seven-foot man, he couldn't help but blush.

At the end of the application, Mrs. He brought out several bowls of porridge.There was only a thin bowl of bottom rice in the bowl in front of Mu Qingtian, but there was a thick layer in He Shengcai's bowl.

He Shengcai was startled, and looked at his wife reproachfully.Who would have thought Mrs. He didn't care at all, and even gave Mu Qingtian a veiled look.

"My ignorance, my lord, forgive me." He Shengcai repeatedly apologized.

"It's okay." Mu Qingtian is not a small-minded person.

Mu Qingtian didn't intend to take advantage of the common people's meal, but seeing that it was already time for meal, he took Yaoqin and left after a few polite words.The sun had completely set, Mu Qingtian and Yao Qin walked a few hundred steps, and suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him.

"My lord! My lord!" He Shengcai ran over panting.

"Please take it, my lord." He spread out his hand, and a handful of cabbages lay quietly on the palm of his hand.

Mu Qingtian had mixed feelings in his heart.He accepted the cabbage and solemnly made a promise.

"Three months, I will give you an explanation after three months."

Mu Qingtian didn't speak a word along the way, Yao Qin dutifully followed behind him to protect his safety.

Back in his room, Mu Qingtian couldn't wait to call out the system mall, turn to the second page, and select "compressed mask".

[Would you like to use [-] points to exchange for a compressed mask? 】

"Yes."

Mu Qingtian thought it was the most useless thing in the mall, and said whoever bought it was an idiot.

Hey, it smells so good!

Mu Qingtian checked the extra compressed masks in the warehouse with satisfaction, and spoke again.

"On credit."

[Do you want to buy fresh-keeping medicine on credit? 】

"Yes."
