Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 291
Dow also came out of the house when he heard the movement.

She glanced at Meng Gao, and then said to Zhao Luoyang: "I invited him in, but he refused, insisting on waiting in the yard."

It is naturally impossible for Dow to let Meng Gao enter the main house. She is a woman at home and always wants to avoid suspicion. She asks Meng Gao to sit in the kitchen, but Meng Gao also shirks, as if he is afraid of damaging his family's things.

That's how Meng Gao thought about it. Since he came to ask for help, he had to think carefully.

"Miss Zhao," Meng Gao bowed to Zhao Luoyang, holding the clay pot in his hand a little awkwardly, "Can you sell me some more of that whey from before?"

Meng Gao lifted the bucket from the ground as he spoke: "I brought grain, look, it's all new rice."

In fact, Meng Gao didn't know whether the whey he took back was useful or not. The days of drinking it for Daniel were still short, but he saw with his own eyes that the children in the West Village were getting better and better. When he came over, several children were playing in the yard. All the cheeks were flushed, not like when they just landed.

The girl from the Zhao family said that there was no milk, only whey, and he bought some without hesitation. He felt that these migrants were different from what Gao Lizheng said.

Now that he has made a choice, he cannot hesitate.

For the whole village, he took this foot first. Although it was for his big cattle, he thought it was a good thing from the bottom of his heart. At least these people had the ability to kill bandits, instead of supporting those animals with money.

Zhao Luoyang said: "How is the child? Did you feel unwell after eating?"

Meng Gao shook his head and said, "No, he also said that this whey is a bit sweet, and he likes to drink it very much."

Zhao Luoyang said: "I just brought back some whey today, and I'll sell it to you. I'll give you two big cans for a bucket of rice, but this whey can't be kept for too long, so you take one can back first. When you're done drinking, come get a new one."

Meng Gao didn't know how the whey came from, but from what the Zhao family girl said, he could tell that it was for their sake.

Meng Gao immediately bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, lady. Just do what the lady said, and I'll take a can away today."

Zhao Luoyang said: "If you are worried, you can give me half a bucket of rice first."

"No," Meng Gao refused, "There's nothing to worry about. I'm already very grateful that the girl can sell me such a good thing. Besides, you don't want these things from me."

That being the case, needless to say, it happened that Zhao Xueli and others unloaded the whey from the donkey cart, and Zhao Luoyang shared a can with Meng Gao.

Meng Gao thanked again and again.

Zhao Xueli said: "When I came over, I saw people coming in and out of the East Village. I'll help you watch after a while, and go back while there is no one."

There was a grateful expression in Meng Gao's eyes, he didn't leave immediately, but thought for a while and said: "This bandit incident may have something to do with Gao Lizheng's family, that group has long been hiding in the mountains, we have already I know that I have been to the village before, killed people and robbed things."

"Later, Lizheng from several villages came forward to resolve this matter. Lizheng asked us to hand over some grain, so that the bandits would not come to our door again if they collected it."

Zhao Xueli said: "How often do I have to pay?"

Meng Gao thought of three points, and his expression became a little cold: "The autumn harvest is the most given, and most of them are paid every three months on weekdays, but there are also times when they are paid once a month."

Zhao Xuejing frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this raising bandits?"

"Yes," Meng Gao said, "there were no more than 40 or [-] of them in total, but now there are so many people and horses, I don't know how many there are."

Forcibly cultivate bandits like this.Everyone has grievances in their hearts. The most important thing is that the Lizhengs colluded with the bandits and oppressed them openly and secretly.

"Someone in our village was killed by bandits when he left the village because he refused to accept Li Zheng." Meng Gao took a deep breath, "so everyone in the East Village is afraid of him. There was movement here that night, we heard Arrived, but we dared not go out."

It's hard to say this, but Meng Gao said it anyway, don't these sixteen households know about it?They all knew it very well, but they could still sell the whey to him. If he continued to hide it, he would really feel uncomfortable, and he would have no face to let his children drink the whey.

Meng Gao continued: "In Fengxia Village, there are many people with the surname Gao, and 23 households with foreign surnames. They have been used to listening to Gao Lizheng's words over the years. If it weren't for my child, I might not dare to take this step."

Although there are bandits and Gao Lizheng, aren't everyone still alive?As long as they can survive, no one dares to risk the whole family being killed to resist.

This is the mind of 23 households.

That's all Meng Gao knew: "If the government office needs my statement, I'm willing to tell the government office what I just said, but my husband and the child have to leave the East Village."

He has accumulated all his life, only his wife and children are around him, no matter what, he doesn't want anything to happen to them.

Zhao Xueli didn't speak, Zhao Luoyang said: "Don't worry, we won't say anything casually."

Meng Gao thanked him again and left, Zhao Xueli went to see him off.

Zhao Xuejing sighed: "Then Gao Lizheng and his family should be sent to the government office."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Master Zhao is watching, as long as you get the evidence, you will not be able to run away from them." This is not about Gao Lizheng's family, this is the case in several villages.

It's useless to take down one, you have to kill them like bandits.

Shi Jiu said: "Sun Ji is the first, and Lizheng in these villages have followed suit. They raise bandits, and they also benefit from it."

Zhao Luoyang said: "Sun Ji still has to collect money and hand it over to Feng's family. Layer after layer of exploitation, all have to be paid out of the common people. Therefore, the number of farmers in Taozhou has decreased over the years, and the imperial court thought of relocating people."

"Relocation is not a bad thing, but it also gave the Feng family and Sun Ji a chance to make some money from it."

Shi Jiu said indifferently: "This kind of life should come to an end."

These things are what Zhao Luoyang has to think about. The sixteen households don't need to think about these things, they just think about the tasks in front of them.

Luo Zhenniang and Widow Xie tidied up a room in the house and kept it for fur coats.

With a lot of hands and ready-made leathers, everyone made them very quickly. When fifteen pieces were collected, Zhao Luoyang followed Zhao Xuejing, Feng Laosan and Shi Ping to the city to sell them.

There were a lot of people in the market in the city, and Feng Laosan and Shi Ping had already figured out the surrounding area, and quickly found a lively place to set up a stall.

Before the New Year's Eve, everyone wanted to buy something if they had spare money, and it was so cold now. When they saw the fur jacket, everyone immediately gathered around to ask.

Not far away, Tao Erzhu, Tao's uncle, saw Zhao Xuejing, and he immediately grabbed Mrs. Zhang: "Look, isn't that Chunya's man over there?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "The third child of the Zhao family? What are they doing here? Shopping in the city?"

Tao Erzhu said: "Why does it look like I'm here to sell things? Is it hard to survive and want to exchange things for rations? Let's go and have a look."
