Mozun boss is working as an aunt in farming

Chapter 260 Sacrifice Me

Suddenly hearing that the pheasant that my aunt caught in the mountains before was actually a tribute to the emperor from a foreign country that was stolen before, can everyone not be frightened?
What if people from the government came and directly decided that they were thieves?

This is the crime of beheading!
"Dali, is it dawn outside?" Mrs. Liu coughed a few times, opened her eyes weakly, and saw her son Liu Dali dressed and sitting beside the bed.

"No, it's only five watch, and it's still early before dawn."

When Mrs. Liu heard the words, she said oh, and after a long silence, she said, "When the people from the government come, remember, you must insist that the peacock was brought back by you as a gift to your aunt."

"Mother, I know." Liu Dali sat on the edge of the bed, his face was covered with stubble, making him look haggard.

He turned his head to look at his mother, his cheeks were sunken, his whole body was very thin, and his eye circles were sunken.

Mrs. Liu looked at such a son, her eyes were reddened unbearably, and she raised her hand to touch her son's face.

With tears in her voice, she said: "Mother is sorry for you. The Si family has treated us with great kindness. My aunt is still so young, so I can only let you take the blame."

Liu Dali pursed his lips and shook his head: "Mom, what are you talking about? This is all right. If I sacrificed myself, it would be worthwhile to save my aunt and help the village tide over this difficulty."

"Dali, my son..." Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it anymore, she burst into tears, hugged him, and burst into tears.

The wind was howling outside, and the sky was dark, as if it would never light up again.

I heard the watchman outside shouting "It's five watch".

County magistrate Zhao hurriedly got up from the bed, cleaned up, and rushed to Dajia Village with Xing Wu and two cronies.

At this moment, he was really impatient.

The case of the theft of the tribute made the emperor Longyan furious. He felt that the reason why the tribute was stolen in Jinzhou must be the incompetence of Jinzhou officials and lax governance, which led to banditry.

Directly ordered to recover the tribute within three months, otherwise all dismissed from office and questioned.

The officials in Jinzhou were also wronged. It was not necessarily the work of Jinzhou people who were stolen in Jinzhou?
What can be done?Today's sage is stupid, he does things according to his preferences, he does whatever he says, and his subordinates can only accept it.

Now the whole Jinzhou is looking for tributes, and Yang County is remote, so it has not been affected too much, but if the tributes are still not found after three months, the county magistrate Zhao will also be implicated.

So yesterday when Xing Wu said that a peacock was found in Dajia Village, County Magistrate Zhao was so excited that he almost stayed up all night. He counted the hours and waited for the next day to arrive and rushed to Dajia Village.

In order to hurry up, Zhao County Magistrate also specially rode a horse.

It was still dark in this winter, and there was a strong wind. His ears almost froze off during the journey, but it still didn't stop his excitement.

In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer, and he happened to see someone lighting a fire on the side of the road to keep warm, so he stopped, got off his horse, and ran to the fire to warm himself.

Seeing that the person who lit the fire was a young man, he couldn't help but strike up a conversation with him: "Little brother, it's so early in the morning, are you going to the county town or going home?"

"Go home." Xiao Yifeng's eyes were lowered, his voice was as clear as a cold spring hitting a stone, and his jade-like face was bright and dark in the dancing firelight.

Holding a wooden stick in his slender hand, he poked the fire from time to time.

Hearing this voice, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but look up at him, and saw that his face was extremely handsome, with delicate outlines, and his brows looked familiar.

He was about to ask him if I saw him somewhere.
