The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 925 Visit!

It was rumored that in the year of the catastrophe, the people would change their children for food. Li Qingmu and Luyue only heard about it, but never saw it with their own eyes. Hearing the old man say this, they felt very uncomfortable.

Qi Jingyu was even more so. As the king of a country, he was supposed to be the master of all the people, but why did such a tragedy happen under his own rule? What would future historians write?
The incompetent and foolish king, the fish and meat of the people, disregarding the common people in the world, starving and starving on the road, starving...

Thinking of these words, Qi Jingyu's back felt like a pain.

We can't let these country gentry continue to act recklessly, even if he offends the emperor's grandmother because of this, he must eliminate the evil trend of annexing the fields!
Watching the old man take back the scraped bark, Qi Jingyu was going to start from this Bailu Village, and first give them an example.

"Uncle, I have decided!"

Li Qingmu looked at him with a half-smile.

"It's good to be mentally prepared. Bailu Village is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many places that are worse than this."

Knowing that the emperor's uncle understood his intentions, Qi Jingyu walked towards the village with a firm expression.

The best way to find out who has taken away the common people's land is to ask the villagers to understand the situation and find out who is behind the other party.

Regarding this private visit on the micro-service, Ozuyue and Li Qingmu's attitudes were relatively relaxed. Anyway, the emperor Qi Jingyu was worried about everything, and had little to do with their couple.

Obscure Moon held Li Qingmu's arm, and asked him with a smile: "Do you still remember those days when we were in Qingshui Village?"

"How dare you forget, it's a pity that there is no mountain behind Bailu Village, otherwise it would be somewhat similar to Qingshui Village."

Li Qingmu looked around this village that had been eroded by the years, feeling filled with emotion. Qingshui Village was the place where he married Yue'er.

At that time, the family was desolate, and no one in the village looked down on their Li family. Being able to marry Obscure Moon was really like an arrangement of fate, everything was destined in the dark.

Obscure Moon hasn't been out and about for a long time, and when she sees Bailu Village, she thinks of the old house in Qingshui Village. After more than ten years, things must have changed.

The three of them were walking forward when they suddenly saw a large group of people walking dejectedly, many of them were still wrapped in cloth strips, and there were bloodstains on the cloth strips.

No wonder I didn't see many people when I entered the village just now, Qi Jingyu stepped forward to stop a young man on crutches: "What's the matter with your injury?"

"What's none of your business? Go away!" Seeing the three people dressed in gorgeous clothes and with strange faces, the young man pushed Qi Jingyu's arm away, full of impatience.

Obscure Moon saw him limping, stepped forward and asked him: "I know some medical skills, do you want to see it for you?"

Xing Xu saw that Ozuki was a woman and she was beautiful, the young man's expression improved, "Then I will trouble the doctor."

His right leg was dislocated from a beating, and it was not difficult to heal itself. Obscure Moon told him to hold on, and when he twisted it hard, the joint was reset. The young man in pain let out a yelp.

But later he was surprised to find that his leg didn't hurt anymore, so he quickly thanked him.

Obscure Moon signaled Ah Mu and Qi Jingyu not to talk, and started chatting with him.

"Little brother, what happened to your leg? Where did those people go just now?"

"Where else can I go, Zhao Yuanwai's house!" The young man sighed and talked about the situation in Bailu Village.

Bailu Village was originally a very prosperous place, with good weather and good weather, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although the gentry were not benevolent, they did not do anything too wicked.

However, since land annexation started in other places, the gentry formed an alliance in private and began to plunder the villagers' land in various ways, which caused everyone to complain.

Especially last year when there was a plague of locusts, most of the fields were devoured by locusts, and there was no harvest. The villagers had to go to the squire's house to borrow money and food to survive.

Unexpectedly, for the sake of being rich and benevolent, these gentry put forward a harsh condition of paying a liter of rice and repaying a bucket of rice. If they borrowed a bucket of rice from them, they would have to pay back ten times the grain they received in the next year.

In order to fill their stomachs, most villagers can only accept it. They never thought that this year is the season of harvesting grain, and the fields will catch fire again at night.

Many people's land was burned down by the fire, and they were unable to repay their debts. Then Zhao Yuanwai joined forces with the squires and thugs to start door-to-door debt collection.

They colluded with the masters in the county, colluded with officials and businessmen, and if they did not pay back the money and food, they would be arrested and beaten.

In desperation, everyone had to sell the land to pay off the debt.

Now most of the fields in the village are occupied by a few gentry.

However, if there is only a field, no one will cultivate it, and there will be no money and food, so Yuanwai Zhao called the villagers together and forced them to rent his fields.

Dozens of thug guards guarded the house eagerly, and they would be beaten if they didn't sign the signature.

"It's unreasonable! It's really unreasonable!" Qi Jingyu's seven orifices were full of smoke, and this kind of thing happened under his nose. Did he still take him as the emperor in his eyes?
"Take me to find that Zhao Papi, I... I want to see how many heads he has, and how dare he act so recklessly!" Qi Jingyu almost revealed his identity in a rage.

Li Qingmu smiled calmly: "No need, there is more than one Bailu Village in the world. Even if you kill that Zhao Yuanwai, you still can't solve the problem, and there will be Wang Yuanwai and Li Yuanwai."

Miyue also frowned and said: "If you don't get rid of the root cause of the disease, it will recur again, why don't we go and visit that Zhao Yuanwai?"

Qi Jingyu thought about it, what the emperor's uncle and aunt said was not unreasonable, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and went to the Zhao residence together.

Although there were only a few hundred households in Bailu Village, the Zhao Mansion was built in a very grand style. Ten servants at the gate were holding sticks and handles.

Seeing the three well-dressed, not like poor households, a servant hurried over and bowed his waist to salute.

"Three gentlemen and wives, I don't know why you came to my Zhao residence?"

"You just say that Third Master Qi is visiting, and let that Zhao Papi come out to greet him in person!" Qi Jingyu said with a grim expression.

The servant rolled his eyes, looked at the three people who didn't know their origins, and shouted loudly: "The name of my master is something you can just insult?"

He expected that the identities of the three of them were not as good as his own master, so he pretended to be powerful.

On the territory of Bailu Village, his master Zhao Wanqing is the local emperor, and even the other gentry masters can follow his lead, so he is full of confidence.

Qi Jingyu came here with anger, and was about to ask the teacher for his crimes, when Miyue took the first step and said to the servant: "Our third master Qi is a respectable figure in the court, quickly ask your master to come out and greet him."

Hearing that he was a high official in the court, the servant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly trotted in to report.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a bauhinia hat and a bright red satin gown came out with his fists in his hands. While looking at the three of them, he secretly guessed their identities.

"Hehehe, the three of you have come from afar, who are you?"

"The envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Qi Jinggu."

Qi Jingyu had already arranged his identity for himself.

Zhao Wanqing was startled, the envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs was definitely a high-ranking official in his eyes, and asked again: "Uh...Is it Yierqi, or Qi?"

Qi is the surname of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and everyone with this word is related to the emperor, so he can't afford to offend.

Qi Jingyu didn't expect this person to be quite cautious, so he smiled and said, "Live as long as the sky."
