The Reborn Wife is Farming

Jiang Ze chuckled, "Oh, it turned out to be the magistrate, sorry for my clumsy eyesight, I really didn't see it all at once, my little eyes looked back, and these eyes were stuck on the person behind you. Forgive me for not seeing you for a while."

Saying please forgive me, but didn't even get off the horse, and waved directly: "Boys, open your eyes and take a closer look, is the man in the yamen behind the magistrate, is it a money tree collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country?"

Qian Shu was shocked, and sat down on the ground, pleading: "I didn't collude with the enemy, I didn't." Then he hugged Wu Shancai's thigh and cried: "My lord, my lord, I didn't collude with the enemy, I did." You are timid, you just lost the city and fled, you really did not betray your country, you must save me, I am the uncle of the young master."

Wu Shancai's face turned pale and white, and he scolded: "What are you yelling about? Go away." Turning his head and looking at Jiang Ze with anger on his face, "Jiang Ze, you are not worthy of talking to me. Let your general come. Qian Shu is The local officials are under the jurisdiction of the officials, and it is not your turn to send them down."

Jiang Ze's face slowly darkened, he looked at Wu Shancai coldly, and said slowly: "Master Wu, the money tree is under your control, but he allowed the Jin soldiers to enter the city, and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country involves the Ministry of War. We adults have the right to inquire. Now the money tree didn't go anywhere, and fled to you. I remember that when General Qi returned to the city for rescue, he was locked outside the city gate by the magistrate. I'm afraid that Xingzhou Mansion will also be captured by Jin soldiers?"

Master Huang couldn't help closing his eyes, the thing he was most worried about happened.

Qi Xiuyuan failed to protect the prefectures and counties due to his dereliction of duty, but it is also a fact that he was locked out of the city gate and missed the opportunity. The court most likely would not convict him, and Wu Zhifu, who ordered the city gate to be closed to prevent anyone from entering the city, was suspended.

In addition, Qian Shu is Wu Shancai's favorite student, and he abandoned the city and fled. Qian Shu's concubine sister is now the third aunt in the family, so it shouldn't be too easy to frame her.

Cold sweat also broke out on Wu Shancai's forehead, but he couldn't say that he was ordered by others. Once he said this, he was guilty even if he was not guilty. Now he can only push the matter to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Come here, take Qian Shu back for interrogation, Mr. Wu, if you have any questions, just come to Xiying and ask."

The soldiers rushed up and pulled out Qian Shu who was hiding behind Wu Shancai. Qian Shu hugged Wu Shancai's thigh tightly and cried, "My lord, save this officer. I was wronged. I really did Innocent……"

"Haven't you eaten? You have been arresting everyone for a long time, and you have torn the clothes of the prefect of Wu, why don't you quickly pull them out for me."

The two soldiers who came here looked at each other, and with great force, they not only pulled out the money tree, but also tore the clothes of the prefect Wu.

Jiang Ze looked at Wu Zhifu's embarrassed appearance with satisfaction.

Qian Shu was dragged to the West Camp, and when he saw the covetous soldiers, he bowed with a bitter face, "The lower officials really did not collude with the enemy and betray the country, really not."

Qi Xiuyuan paced over, walked around him three times, and said with a smile: "Of course I know that you can't collude with the enemy and betray the country. You don't have the skills yet, but you need to live in Xiying for a while. By the way, the clothes of our soldiers are just right. There is a shortage of people to wash, before beheading, you should contribute to us."

Qian Shu's legs trembled slightly, and his voice trembled, "Chop...behead?"

Qi Xiuyuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Why, do you think you can still live? If you run away from the city, if you escape without a trace, change your name and surname and no one will know, that's all. You just ran to the prefect of Wu Now, you should be glad that I didn't force you to admit the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, which is a crime against the nine clans."

Qian Shu fell to his knees with a "plop", feeling infinite regret in his heart.

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, turned around and left, and told Jiang Ze, "Take him down, and do whatever dirty work you have recently."

Jiang Ze responded, watched Qi Xiuyuan leave, squatted in front of Qian Shu, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you know how many people died in Mingshui County?"

Qian Shu stared at him blankly.

"In the three townships, the number of people who survived in the end was less than two-thirds of the previous township, especially in Qili Township. Almost all the villages were burned by the golden soldiers. If you hadn't fled with most of the government servants in the end , they could have been spared, just half an hour, just hold on for another half an hour and our reinforcements will arrive, tell me, should you kill them or not?"

Qian Shu murmured: "I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just don't want to die..."

Jiang Ze got up, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "No one wants to die, but because of you, so many people died, you should kill, and you should contribute to us before you die."

In fact, in Jiang Ze's view, not only Qian Shu should be killed, but Wu Shancai should be killed too. If he hadn't locked the general outside the city gate, they wouldn't be so passive. Why did it take so long for reinforcements to be dispatched?

Wu Shancai panicked, looked at the victims surrounded outside the government office, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master Huang, why don't we take out some food to help the victims? It doesn't matter if they are always surrounded outside."

Ever since Mu Yangling broke the grain relief depot, those disaster victims refused to mortgage their land deeds, but they gradually surrounded the government office, and they couldn't be driven away no matter how hard they tried.

Surrounded by a group of hungry victims outside, Wu Shancai couldn't sleep well at night, and couldn't stand it after only two days.

Master Huang knew the plan of the prefect Wu and the squires. After hearing the words, he thought about it and said: "I'm afraid they will have opinions..."

"I still have an opinion. The disaster victims don't surround their homes," Wu Zhifu circled around. "If you ask me, they are ruthless. The interest they set is higher than usury. As long as they are not stupid, who would borrow food from them?"

"Either starve to death, or borrow food, as long as they are hungry, they will naturally resign."

Wu Zhifu sneered, "In addition to being soft, they will also riot. We who live behind the government office will be the first to suffer."

"Your Excellency, why not mention it to General Qi and let him send troops to protect him."

Wu Zhifu rolled his eyes and said: "We are both enemies of life and death, do you think he will agree?"

"Your Excellency didn't mention it, how do you know he won't agree?" Master Huang pointedly said: "My Lord will cooperate with General Qi for a long time in the future, and next year's military salary will have to be raised by you."

Wu Zhifu pondered, and asked: "Do you really think it's feasible?"

Master Huang nodded slowly, "But you can give it a try."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Wu Zhifu said, "Go ask someone to prepare the sedan chair, we will go to Xiying right now."

"My lord, it's better to go in a carriage. There are disaster victims on this road, so it's safer to take a carriage."

Wu Zhifu nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, take the carriage, go and prepare the carriage."

At this time, Mu Yangling was taking out the last piece of silver to Mu Shi, and sighed: "Well, don't talk about paying back the medicine, now we don't lend them money and it's fine."

Mu Shi collected the money and said nonchalantly, "We can always make money while we're alive. The most important thing now is to buy more food, so that the villagers don't survive the knife of the barbarians and starve to death instead." gone."

Shu Wanniang took out a silver hairpin, "Take this too, if you can buy more."

Mu Shi stopped, "It's not bad for you. I bought it for you when we got married. Unless it's for the children, I won't allow you to use it."

Shu Wanniang lowered her head and smiled shyly, "You can just buy it for me in the future, isn't it difficult now?"

Seeing his parents showing affection, Mu Yangling felt that his teeth were sore, covered his eyes and said, "Oh, the eye of a needle is about to grow."
