Chapter 92
The old man shook his head helplessly, seemed to have paused, and then said: "So many people have died, the folks have no choice but to save their lives first, and agree to be attached to them, but after a few days, the imperial court dispatched Only then did we know that the group of people were originally bandits in the mountains, and they were all rebels who wanted to rebel. The villagers were very happy, thinking that they could finally be saved, but later the suppression was successful. People disappeared for no reason, and the court pinned this crime on us unarmed ordinary people!"

Jiang Youzhi subconsciously said, "Disappeared for no reason?"

The old man nodded: "Yeah, what about more than 100 people? It seemed to evaporate overnight. I have lived for almost 70 years, old man. I have never heard or seen such a thing."

Jiang Youzhi said again: "Then did you see the faces of those people clearly back then?"

The old man thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, because those people are all wearing masks and black cloaks, we can't see them at all."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "And then?"

The old man said: "Afterwards, the government put us in a large prison in the western suburbs. It was lucky to say that when the seventeenth prince was born, auspiciousness came from the sky, and the emperor pardoned the world, we were released home and ordered Consolation payments were issued."

"It's so good." Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but said.

But the old man sighed again, shook his head and said: "At first, the folks thought the same as you, the genius doctor. Don't mention how happy you are, they thought it would be the same as before again, but after waiting for half a year, the folks even comforted you." We didn’t see any sign of the payment, so we discussed going to the county government to ask for it, but when the grandfather heard about our purpose, he became furious, saying that we not only repented, but also that we are lucky not to be beheaded or jailed, but If you dare to ask for some consolation money, after you finished speaking, you clapped your hands and beat all the villagers out, and said that if you dare to make trouble again, we will all be put in prison."

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but frowned: "The consolation money was issued by the imperial court, how dare they deny it!"

The old man was a little excited and said: "Who says it's not! But we ordinary people, how dare we confront those officials head-on, isn't that courting death! When everyone made up their minds, they thought, forget it, since the comfort money is not given, but We won't starve to death, let's just keep farming, and we won't make trouble anymore."

Jiang Youzhi also said: "This is also a way."

"I didn't expect it. That year, the villagers had just planted seeds on the ground, and the government suddenly came and told us that we were not allowed to plant any more. All the villagers' seeds were confiscated by the county government!"

Jiang Youzhi sighed heavily, what kind of parents and officials are there, they are obviously more unreasonable than local ruffians and bullies!
Ah Chang on the side couldn't help but excitedly said: "Why should they take over the land!"

"Yeah, what are they supposed to do! How can we still live like this? The villagers are also furious. They argue with these officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers are not only unreasonable, but also directly beat up several people on blind dates until they are paralyzed!"

Hearing this, Pei Xun put away his fan violently, with a trace of sullenness on his brows, he said: "A small county government can act so boldly, no one will restrain him!"

"You're right, the folks thought the same way at the time, thinking that since we can't beat the magistrate of the county government, we should go to a higher official, find someone who can get justice for us, and ask the teacher in the book Mr. wrote a complaint, nominated more than a dozen people, and went to Beijing to sue."

Speaking of this, the old man's brows deepened, and his eyes were even a little moist: "These dozen or so people went through untold hardships before they met the prime minister of the dynasty, Mr. Zhu Shoukun, because the villagers heard that he personally issued the approval documents and distributed the documents. The consolation money, I wanted to ask him to make sure it would be useful, but I didn't know that Master Zhu said justice in front of everyone, but when he turned around, he sent one of his subordinates, Master Zheng, to meet the folks. Mr. Zheng, he didn't have a good face towards the blind dates, he just tore up the certificate, and put those dozen people..."

The old man suddenly couldn't help crying, and said in great grief: "Convict and kill all those dozen people!"

Jiang Youzhi's eyes widened sharply: "Condemned? It's really a heinous crime, and it's a sanctimonious one!"

The old man wiped away his tears: "Yes, these officials and lords will not let us live at all! We have no land, let alone money, so what are we going to eat! We can't starve to death, just break the jars and make trouble!"

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but said: "What a crime of treason! It's actually settled like this, this world is really sad!"

Pei Xun also spoke at this moment: "Old man, don't worry, I will uphold justice for you in this matter."

The old man looked at Pei Xun with tears in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Your kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the entire Tipan Village!"

That night, because it was getting late, the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, and wild animals often appeared on this road, so it was extremely unsafe, so they stayed at the villagers' homes for the night.

That night, there was a heavy rain, which woke Jiang Youzhi up, she got up and put on her clothes, and walked towards the door. The crackling raindrops outside, occasionally mixed with the howling of unknown beasts, seemed very heavy.

Then with the oil lamp in her hand, she inadvertently saw the stagnant water on the ground, and because of the impact of raindrops, she unintentionally stirred up the sand that had sunk on the ground.

She squatted down curiously, and squeezed a handful of sand in the water with her hands. It was very fine, and she couldn't help but look forward, because the terrain here is relatively low, and the rain said it would stay along. It seems to be flowing down with the rain.

She frowned slightly, how could there be such fine sand here, could it be washed down from the mountain?
The next day, when Jiang Youzhi woke up, the rain had completely stopped. She took a breath of fresh air, and then winked playfully at Pei Xun who came strolling: "My lord, you are interested in accompanying me up the mountain today." a trip?"

But before the training could answer, a villager who rushed over said anxiously: "Hey, genius doctor, you must not go to this mountain!"

Jiang Youzhi was very puzzled by his attitude, so he asked, "Brother, what do you say?"

The young man limped close to Jiang Youzhi, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak, hesitatingly said: "It has just rained, the road is wet and slippery, and the mountain road is rough, it is too dangerous for you to go now..."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, deliberately said: "That's it, it's okay."

Sure enough, the young man said again: "Genius doctor, to tell you the truth, in fact, there are... unclean things on the top of this mountain."

Jiang Youzhi was puzzled and said, "An unclean thing? What is that?"
