after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1088
Chapter 1088
The father and son got the letter and kowtowed respectfully again.

After seeing the major general, they were ecstatic. Not only did they have a full meal, but the people in the fishing village gave them thick jackets, and they both slept peacefully by the stove.

Because of this, the father and son had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

"Young General, Young Madam, Cao Min's surname is Sun, this is Cao Min's second son."

As Father Sun spoke, he couldn't help crying, trembling and speechless.

"Father, it's better for the son to tell."

Sun Xiaoer saw his father's hands trembling at the critical moment, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak, and he was worried.

They came to sue for justice, and it was not easy for these high-ranking big shots to meet. If they couldn't explain why, they would be kicked out, and the opportunity would be missed.

Sun Xiaoer didn't care too much, kowtowed and said: "Young General, Young Madam, Cao Min's family lives in Sunjia Village, twenty miles outside Wuzhou City."

Sunjia Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by hills rich in medicinal materials and game, and the villagers live a prosperous life.

Just two years ago, the ordinary life of the villagers was broken. They received a notice from the government that the river in the village was in danger of flooding, and they persuaded the whole village to move out.

"At first, the villagers disagreed."

Sun Xiaoer tried to make a long story short, the grandparents of their Sun clan lived in Sunjia Village, how can they just move away, but the government has repeatedly issued approvals, saying that once the river floods and submerges the fertile land, it will also be dangerous to the villagers.

"People from the government told the grassroots that they are only temporarily living in the resettlement area, and they will move back after the rainy season, and promised to take care of the livestock at home for the villagers."

When they went to the resettlement room, men and women were separated, and a dozen or 20 people were crowded into one room, and there was no room for livestock.

Officials use reason to understand and move them with emotion. In addition, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, so the villagers had no choice but to agree.

"Cao Min's family has two pigs, a dozen chickens, and a few acres of land."

There are seven or eight members of the Sun family, and these productions plus a dozen taels of silver are all the savings left by the ancestors.

After moving away, the Sunjia Village was taken over by the government. Villagers wanted to go home to get things, but they were all driven away on the grounds of danger.

"The rainy season in Wuzhou is not long, and I have never heard of floods in Wuzhou."

Qi Heng passed through Wuzhou several times and learned about the local people and customs.

Furthermore, before he blows up the mountain to clear the road, he has to appease the people and give him heavy compensation.

The Wuzhou government's arrangements for the villagers are enough to show that they are not doing well.

"The major general is wise."

Sun Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and continued, "If you just move out for a while, the villagers don't understand, but seeing the winter, the rainy season has already passed, and the government still has no conclusion."

The village chief got angry and went to the government many times to inquire, but the officials sent people away at will with vague and perfunctory words.

In the first few months of resettlement, at least someone delivered food on time. After the village head went to the yamen many times, those people became so angry that there was no one to deliver food.

Before the villagers went out, they only brought their family savings, and the daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt were still stored in the village.

The people discussed together, there is no way to go on like this, the government doesn't give permission, and they don't care, they can go back to the village by themselves.

"Unexpectedly, when the grassroots returned to the village, they found that the Sun Family Village had long since ceased to exist."

All the houses in the village were knocked down and surrounded by walls with guards at the door.

The village chief used money, and the guards were willing to tell the truth.

"At the beginning, all the villagers were deceived. It wasn't the government's intention, but Wang Changhao, the prefect's brother-in-law, falsely passed on the orders from the yamen to deceive the villagers."

Wang Changhao threw them near the ruined temple in the city and stayed there for half a year. During the past six months, the villagers were looking forward to returning to the village every day, but the news came that their houses had been demolished, their fertile land had been encroached upon, and they were homeless. return.

The village head was already old, and he died in one breath, and after he was gone, he couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave in Sunjia Village.

The villagers went to the yamen to beat drums to appeal for grievances, but were severely injured by officials, and a group of people were arrested and served in prison.

"General Qi, the magistrate of Wuzhou is so bold that it is impossible not to know about it, otherwise why did he try his best to suppress this matter and not give the grassroots a chance to redress their grievances?"

Half of the hundreds of people in the village have been imprisoned, and the rest of the elderly and children barely have enough to eat and rely on begging for a living.

Sun Xiaoer had long wanted to go to the capital to file a complaint, but he didn't make any money. He was afraid that he would starve to death and freeze to death on the way.

"What does the brother-in-law of the prefect of Wuzhou occupy the good land for?"

Wuzhou is not too far from Yingcheng, and he dared to blatantly bully the people under Qi Heng's nose. The prefect of Wuzhou is really good.

The parent official is the earth emperor, especially if he is far away from the capital, he can cover his mouth immediately if something happens, so that people will not be able to redress their grievances.

Compared with watching memorials in the capital, private visits on microservices are really a good way to understand people's sentiments, and can catch dog officials by surprise.

"Wang Changhao built a horse farm and a hunting ground."

Sun Xiaoer's nasal voice was very heavy, and he held back his tears so that he could not cry out. He aimed at Major General Qi's thigh, wishing he could hug his thigh and cry bitterly.

They have no land, so they can only do odd jobs here and there. Some people know that they are from Sunjia Village, but they dare not use them for work.

There are also kind-hearted people in the city who help them from time to time and warn them not to offend the prefect's brother-in-law. This is not the first time this has happened.

How can a grassroots man fight against officials?For such things, I have to admit that I am unlucky.

"Is the rest of Sun Family Village okay?"

After Lin Yuesha heard this, she felt angry. It was just a small relative of the prefect who was so arrogant that she didn't take Da Qilu seriously. She blatantly bullied the people and searched for their fat.

"not too good."

Sun Xiaoer cried again, and this time it was Old Sun who recovered from his nerves.

In the winter, the government had already cut off their rice and grain assistance, and the money brought by the villagers was not enough to survive the winter, and they couldn't afford firewood, so they had to collect firewood everywhere.

Sun Xiaoer's mother went out to catch up with the heavy snow and lost her way. They went out to find no one, and when the snow stopped the next day, his mother's body had already frozen hard.

Every family in the village was miserable. They thought of many ways, and even ran to other cities to sue the officials. Unfortunately, the officials were protecting each other, and they couldn't find a place to reason.

When they came to Yingcheng Fishing Village, it was the passing merchants who looked at them pitifully and pointed out a clear path. This was the last hope of the father and son on behalf of the people of Sunjia Village.

"Madam hates evil like hatred, don't worry, your husband will definitely do his best in this matter."

Qi Heng is sober and calm, but Lin Yuesha is troubled by subjective emotions, wishing to smash the head of the dog officer's brother-in-law.

If what the Sun family and his son said is true, I have never seen more shameless people. In order to occupy the good land of the common people, they used such shady means to deceive people, and then arrested them and covered their mouths. Did they think that they were in Wuzhou City? Covering the sky with one hand?
