I’m Marquis in Great Tang

When Du Qi saw Meng Fu’s wry smile, he almost understood it.

Clarified the reason.

A bunch of lazy people that’s all.

To be honest, farming is encouraged in Xia Country nowadays. As long as you are willing to work in a down-to-earth manner, it is not difficult to get enough food and clothing, not to mention wealth, at least you can get a living. In addition, factories have been opened all over the territory of Xia Country, many industries are advancing, and the rest of the bridge and paving, trenching and digging require countless people to do things.

As long as you are willing to do things down-to-earth, you can make money to support your family.

Du Qi shook the head and stopped talking.

Meng Fu could only sit awkwardly, and he looked towards the burly and sturdy body of Morado, regretting it at this moment. Earlier, he relied on his large number of people, even if he saw Morado, he thought he had a chance, so he launched a charge. didn’t expect In the end, it evolved to where it is today, it was so miserable.

A little bit of time passed, and after a little one hour, I saw a group of people on the official road ahead.

The leader is an old man.

Du Qi glanced around, and can roughly guess that this must be the elder Meng Fu spoke of. And behind this old man, although there were many people, it was a group of women and children, and everyone hurried over.

Not long after the crowd arrived.

The faces of a group of women and children chirp chirp twitter twitter are full of awe and worry. When they looked towards Du Qi, there was still a hint of anger in their eyes. It doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong. The family members of these villagers who have been intimidated by Mengfu will be full of resentment towards Du Qi because of their respective positions.

The old man in Danshan Village is named Meng Qingshan.

He is sixty years old and is the oldest person in the village. He has seen too many things and has the most experience.

Meng Qingshan stepped forward, walked in front of Du Qi, and bowed and said: “Noble Son, this time is the villager of Danshan Village who was abrupt. We made a mistake and caused Noble Son, so Noble Son proposes ten guan money, we will give ten guan money.”

He waved, someone carried the box up.

That is the ten bucks collected.

In fact, the people in the village are not very poor. After all, they collect tolls on this road. It is not a day or two. After one or two years, they have already saved a lot. money. And this time, it’s all households and households putting together money. But even so, there were disputes when pooling money, and some villagers were unwilling to pay.

Meng Qingshan decided to pool the money, because Meng Qingshan thought that as long as people were there, it was a problem, so he finally collected the money.

Du Qi didn’t even glance at how much money he had. He asked: “What is the name Senior?”

Meng Qingshan said: “Little old man Meng Qingshan.”

Du Qi said: “I accept the ten guan money, and these ordinary villagers can leave. As for Meng Fu, who takes the lead, I will not execute him, and will hand him over to the government. Okay, you all Leave.”

When Meng Qingshan heard this, the expression on his old face changed drastically. The pleats all over his face were all squeezed together to form a ravine, making them look very old. He leaned on crutches, his back was slightly rickety, and he trembled: “Noble Son, whoever comes with Meng Fu this time, you can take it to the official, Meng Fu can’t.”

Du Qi But he laughed and said with disdain: “Why others can, but he can’t.”

Meng Qingshan said: “Noble Son, although Meng Fu and the others charge tolls, it is illegal and disciplined. It is worthy of sympathy. After all, this kind of strong buying and selling is not just and honorable. Moreover, it falls into the hands of Noble Son. We also admit it, and simply give it ten dollars. But Meng Fu’s personality is straightforward and Upright is admired by all of us. Meng Fu can’t leave. Once he leaves, there will be no one to rely on for the more than twenty lonely elderly people in the village.”

Du Qi said: “How do you say ?”

He was a little curious about what straightforward and upright Meng Fu has. Of course, from the perspective of Meng Fu’s figure alone, Meng Fu’s physical strength is also suitable for his age. If he goes out to work and earn money, he can also support his family, but he charges tolls.

Could it be that there is something tricky inside.

Meng Qingshan explained: “Reporting back to Noble Son, when Meng Fu was young, he was very brave and served in the army. Back then, the Central Plains was still in the Sui Dynasty, and then Yizhou was also a big Sui, Meng Fu and some people in the army served for the Sui Dynasty.”

“Later, there was no sound in the Sui Dynasty, especially in Yizhou, which coincided with the Turkic people raging and rushing into Iraq. In the state, Meng Fu fought with a group of soldiers. In the end, only a few people survived.”

“Meng Fu, is one of them.”

“Many of Mengfu’s colleagues, Everyone died on the battlefield. Many of his colleagues were only children. When these colleagues died, their parents were left alone and no one to rely on.”

Meng Qingshan coughed twice. The voice continued: “It would be nice if you were a little younger, but it would be difficult for an elderly person with poor bones to handle it. There is no one to take care of it, which is very miserable.”

” Being lonely with their parents, they brought these widows and lonely old people to our Danshan Village. He supported everyone by himself. Originally at first, no one in the village collected tolls. Later, people from our village lobbied. Mengfu, who didn’t want to go, was the only one who took the people there.”

“Speaking of which, every household who collects tolls has made money, but the money Mengfu earned is used to support these elderly people. He is a good man and should not be arrested and sent off to an official. I beg Noble Son, for Meng Fu’s kindness and uprightness, give him a chance.”

Meng Qingshan said: “We have money If it’s out, we’ll never do anything about charging tolls. I implore Noble Son and let Meng Fu go. You want to beat or scold, you want to vent, these people are at your disposal.”

In his words, there is a defense of Meng Fu. Meng Fu was brought up by Meng Qingshan, and he couldn’t be sent to the government in this way, otherwise Meng Fu would be abandoned.

Du Qi looked towards Meng Fu, some accidents, but a person with a story and a good heart.

Unfortunately, I did something wrong.

Du Qi is meticulous, so he instructed: “Moledo, let the people behind follow me.”

“Yes!”

Moledo took out the ringing arrow and launched it directly.

“xiu!”

The ringing arrow lifted off and exploded in the air.

With the sound of the arrow bursting in the air, in a short while, there was a sound of horseshoes on the official road behind. Every horse is nailed with its horseshoes, and the horseshoes stomped on the concrete road, rattling, and the sound was extremely rapid. It was too late, it was fast, and more than fifty Royal Guards soldiers appeared soon. Every Royal Guards soldier wears armor and gives a great oppression.

This scene shocked the villagers such as Meng Qingshan and Meng Fu.

Especially Meng Fu was born in the army. He saw at a glance that the cavalry team was out of the ordinary, and it was definitely not owned by the ordinary person.

Mole Duo said: “Noble Son, everyone is here.”

Du Qi looked towards Guan Zhilan, instructed: “Guan Zhilan, you take ten cavalry, and let the previous The second Meng Lao led the way to the village to see if Meng Qingshan’s words were true.”

“Yes!”

Guan Zhilan immediately responded.

He stepped forward as soon as he waved his hand, and then let Meng Lao Er lead the way, and quickly went to the village of Danshan Village.
