Chapter 64
"How much money do you want?" Gu Jin asked subconsciously.

She bought all the spices, and she was really reluctant to part with this recipe. If it is not expensive, she can buy it.

"You can give as much as you want." When the young man said this, his tone was much gentler, and there was even a little hope in his eyes.

Without specific figures, this is difficult to do.

Gu Jin looked at Shen Jingcheng, and Shen Jingcheng glanced at the girl on the boy's back, and asked him, "What's wrong with her?"

"Heatstroke." The boy said with difficulty.

It was just a heatstroke, and it would be good to take a rest, but who knew, that pair of cruel men and women actually forced his sister to work under the scorching sun while he was not at home, making people become like this.

Shen Jingcheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Then I will give her the money she needs for this treatment, is that okay?"

The young man was stunned, and then nodded vigorously, his eyes became moist uncontrollably.

Seeing the young man nodding, Shen Jingcheng immediately asked him to lead the way to the medical clinic. The doctor looked at the young girl and said that he had to save her, but if she could not be saved, it was up to her fate.

The boy's eyes were red when he heard this. While the doctor was making medicine for the girl, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng also knew the names and things about the boy and the girl.

The boy's name is Song Qingming, the girl's name is Song Qingyue, they are brothers and sisters, their parents are merchants, and they have a shop that sells burning incense.Last year, the parents of the two brothers and sisters died unexpectedly when they went to buy spices. The tribe took advantage of the reason of taking care of the two brothers and sisters, and occupied his house, shop, and family property. Seeing that Song Qingming was selling incense recipes everywhere in order to save his younger sister, he immediately drove the two brothers and sisters out of the house in annoyance, and lost even a place to live.

"Why didn't you sue the officials?" Shen Jingcheng frowned and asked Song Qingming.

"They sent money to the government, and I can't win the lawsuit." Song Qingming recalled the experience of the past six months, with grief and indignation in his chest.

Shen Jingcheng was silent for a while when he heard the words, and asked him: "Have you tried to sue the imperial court?"

Song Qingming was dazed when he heard this, and filed a lawsuit against him.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Shen Jingcheng bowed in the direction of the palace, and said to him: "Our emperor is a Ming emperor in the court, and he once said that all grievances who have nowhere to appeal can be heard in heaven. This is the criminal code of the dynasty, as long as you are justified, as long as you have grievances, as long as your statement is true, you can sue without any punishment."

Song Qingming stared blankly at Shen Jingcheng who didn't seem to be lying at all. After a long time, his silent eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really?" Song Qingming asked tremblingly.

"Really." Shen Jingcheng nodded affirmatively.

This is the only thing he is satisfied with today's old emperor. He has no tolerance for corrupt officials, local tyrants and bullies, and oppressing good people.

Song Qingming got a definite answer, and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, Young Master, for pointing out the maze."

Shen Jingcheng didn't have any special feelings about it, he just said what he had to say, it's not a secret, it's just that some people don't know it.

In the evening, Song Qingyue woke up slowly. The doctor said that if people can wake up, there is basically no problem, but they may suffer from weak diseases in the future, and they need to recuperate their bodies for a long time. If they are exposed to heat, they will easily fall ill.

Hearing that Song Qingyue was out of danger, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng left enough money for the two of them to take the medicine, and set off on the journey back again.

It's just that in this way, the money of the two of them is not enough to hire a carriage, and they have to walk back on two feet. Fortunately, they are in good health after practicing kung fu all the year round, and they are not afraid of walking.

But I am not afraid of returning home, but I still can't help but sigh that silver is a good thing, no amount of this thing is too much!

Because they were walking on their legs, the two walked for nearly a month before returning to Shimu Village. When they got home, the crops in the field had already started to turn yellow, and some early-planted millet could even be harvested.

After returning home, the two of them washed up thoroughly and fell asleep. They didn't bother to ask Jiang Zhengshu what happened after they left until they woke up the next day.

Jiang Zhengshu told about Lin Hu's previous visit, and also said that Yang Erniu had tried to borrow cattle and farm tools under the guise of his brother-in-law, but he refused, and everything else was fine.

Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin were not surprised when Lin Hu came over, but it was intriguing for Yang Erniu to come over.

How could he have any face when he came here under the banner of his brother-in-law when he was not at home?

But now it is important to harvest the mature grain first, and Shen Jingcheng has to get familiar with the field conditions of the villages within the management range, so he put this matter aside for the time being.

Going back and forth to the capital, and following Shen Jingcheng around the villages every day, Gu Jin felt that her legs were slipping away. Fortunately, the days of wandering around the villages are not long, otherwise, she would have been wanting to cheat. .

When the autumn harvest really begins, the fruits on the various fruit trees in front of the courtyard are ripening one after another.

Peaches, dates, persimmons, pomegranates, apples, hawthorns, walnuts, red and green fruits hung all over the branches. Gu Jin came together every day, and he could smell the strong fruity aroma in the yard.

At the same time, Gu Jin was delighted to find that the apricot stones she planted in the ground before she left also germinated and grew into seedlings.

As the autumn harvest gradually came to an end, the grain merchants who came to harvest summer grain in summer also came to the door again.

Now they have a total of ten hectares of land, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng only sold half of the harvest, and Gu Jin kept a little of each fruit and sold them all. Use, a total income of two hundred and five taels of silver.

Gu Jin looked at the white money, and finally let go of his heart that had been tense for a year.

This is all hard-earned money, and if God doesn't save face, he may not be able to get it back.

After harvesting the autumn grain, the hired workers continued to plant winter wheat, and Shen Jingcheng began to urge the village chiefs to collect taxes. Since then, the village chiefs have been visiting the courtyard. After more than ten days, most of the village taxes and grains have been paid. When it came to Shen Jingcheng, there was only one village chief who had never been here from the beginning to the end, let alone hand in the taxes and rations of that Lijia.

Shen Jingcheng knew who the head of the village was, the former grain chief, the person who quit the job for some unknown reason and made him suddenly become the grain chief ahead of schedule.

However, in the face of his lack of cooperation, Shen Jingcheng was not annoyed, and only asked Zhou Quan to bring a message, requiring him to pay all the Lijia tax and food that he was responsible for tomorrow, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Take him, dreaming?
Like to pay or not, anyway, the old emperor is a ruthless character, he hates rich households who are domineering and do not pay taxes on time, so no one can blame others for not getting good results when the time comes.

However, the head there didn't know if there was any support, and the tax and grain were still not delivered the next day.

Shen Jingcheng is not a master who is used to others, on the third day, without saying a word, he wrote a complaint and took it to the county to file a complaint with the county magistrate who has only been known for years.
