After the clearing, I was forced to tease the fourth master every day

Chapter 150 Do You Still Have This Ability?

A gentleman's character should be viewed from the perspective of virtue, and it is a bit generalized to only look at how he treats his wife.

Just when she was about to say something, she found that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep.It seemed that he was not sleeping comfortably, and his brows were still tightly furrowed.

Fourth Master lowered his shoulders slightly to make her less tired from lying on her stomach, so he shook his head and laughed noncommittally.

She's just a young girl, why do you tell her about these government affairs?
From this point of view, he is also crazy.

After all, Wen Jiu didn't sleep well. She was woken up by the noise outside the carriage. She opened her eyes in a daze and found that the carriage had stopped: "Master?"

"Yes," Fourth Master replied, and patted Wen Jiu on the back.

Wen Jiu also subconsciously followed Fourth Master's gaze and looked out, his eyes widened instantly: "Master, what's going on?"

When she first entered Jinyang City, Fourth Master sneaked in with her at night. That night, Jinyang City God was like a city without people.

But now, the whole street is full of people.The common people knelt at the gate of the government office densely, kowtowing all the time.

"Please, let us go!"

"Our adults are really good people!"

"My lord, please be kind, our lord is really a good person!"

"Let us go, my lord..."

……

Wen Jiu recalled Si Ye's order in a daze, and asked, "Master, did you make the news spread by Mr. Bu Yan work?"

Fourth Master nodded solemnly: "Master was also a test, I never expected such a result."

He led Wen Jiu out of the carriage, and walked towards an old man in the distance: "Old man, why did you plead for Liu Yu's life?"

The old man glanced at Si Ye: "Who are you? You dress like this, and your accent doesn't look like ours from Jinyang, don't you even know our Master Liu?"

Fourth Master frowned slightly: "Does Liu Yu have any kindness for you?"

The fourth master frowned, it was a bit scary to be honest, the old man beside him took a few steps back in fright: "You, you... what do you do?"

The old man looked at fourth master warily, looking at that appearance, as if he was going to turn around and call for someone in the next second.

Seeing this situation, Wen Jiu went over to pull out Fourth Master, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, old man, my husband is used to staying in the barracks, he is used to such a cold face, he has no malicious intentions.

We are here to visit relatives, and speaking of it, we have some friendship with Mr. Liu, and we are worried if something happened to Mr. Liu, so we asked this question.Can the old man talk to us? "

"Oh," the old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "he looks upright, isn't he just a military man, I'm so confused."

Then he said: "Our lord has encountered a difficult situation. It is said that the lord has embezzled food. Isn't that ridiculous? A few years ago, when it rained heavily, the wall of my tavern collapsed. I had no money that year, and it was still my lord." I filled it up for myself, how could an adult embezzle it?"

Wen Jiu was full of admiration: "So Mr. Liu is really a good official."

The old man nodded immediately when he heard it: "No, there is also Mrs. Li, who has never had a son in her life, and all her daughters have married far away, and we adults have been raising them with money all the time.

A grown-up doesn't necessarily change into a pair of boots all year round. What do you think he can be greedy for?This imperial court, why don't the corrupt officials be arrested, and they only arrest Qingtian masters like us! "

When the fourth master heard this, his eyes widened: "Presumptuous!"

The old man shrank back in fright: "This... this..."

Wen Jiu secretly pinched Fourth Master's arm, motioning him to stop talking.

Wen Jiu turned his head and said to the old man gently: "Don't pay attention to the old man, he is jealous of evil, he is angry with those corrupt officials!"

Fourth Master was stunned by the pinch, hey, this little girl, how dare she fight him!
After all, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, he really stood still behind Wen Jiu for a moment, waiting for her to ask.

The old man patted his chest when he heard this: "But it scared my old man."

Then he said kindly: "If you are relatives of Mr. Liu, I'm afraid you won't be able to find relatives anymore. Mr. Liu is in a disaster right now, so why don't I wait here to plead for Mr. Liu's life?"

Wen Jiu nodded: "Thank you, old man. My husband and I only met him once, so we are not considered acquaintances. However, my family lives in the west of the city. Just now, my husband and I went to his house to have a look, but we didn't see anyone. The things seem to have not been used for many days. Old man, do you know where my relatives have gone?
Since I didn't see anyone, I was really worried. "

"It's all right." The old man reassured: "On the west side of the city, maybe I'll just stay in the Shantang. There have been a lot of bandits recently, and many wealthy households in the city have been hit by disasters. Many people have gone to live in the Shantang. There are officers and soldiers guarding it."

Hearing this, Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm relieved when you say that. However, with so many people, does Shantang have food for everyone?"

The old man continued: "Where is there any food to eat? The price of food is one price a day. Not only has something happened to us in Jinyang, but also the prices of food in the nearby cities are almost skyrocketing. Only the lord's shantang is still there. Drink two bowls of rice porridge.

Everyone has the money to contribute money and strength to contribute, and wait until the snowstorm is over, that's it. "

After Wen Jiu heard this, he immediately took out half an ingot of silver from his cuff: "Old man, this should be the work of my husband and I."

The old man immediately refused: "How can this be accepted?"

Wen Jiu said firmly, "Take it as a wish, please accept it."

Then Wen Jiu asked again: "You just said that there are big corrupt officials around here?"

Speaking of this, the old man turned pale with fright, put his finger on his lips and hissed: "Little madam, don't make too much noise."

Glancing at no one around, the old man said, "How can life be easy with such a governor right in front of you?"

After hearing this, Wen Jiu and Fourth Master looked at each other, then Wen Jiu immediately asked: "Old man, what do you say?"

"You don't know yet, the governor's official was bought with money. Earlier, I had a fellow villager who came here to join him, and his area under the governor's jurisdiction had no way of life. He received so much money all year round. A little bit of food was handed in, and the family of five was so hungry that they couldn’t get enough to eat. Now that there is a disaster, I don’t know what to do.”

After exchanging a few words with the old man, Wen Jiu and Fourth Master left.

The fourth master couldn't help but look at the warm wine: "I can't see that you still have this ability?" It was the first time in his life that he saw someone questioning like this, and the old man even took the two of them as juniors with all his heart. Rare.

"Say a few good words to coax the old man, please don't laugh at me." Wen Jiu frowned immediately: "Master, will this matter become more and more difficult?" The fourth master is only the title of Baylor now, but It may be difficult to deal with the current governor of Shanxi.

Facing Wen Jiu's eyes, Fourth Master smiled, and said: "It won't be difficult, but it will get smoother and smoother. Let's just wait and see, there should be a result today."
