Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The room with the window open, because there is no light on, still looks dark under the only little moonlight.

    The blind man Bei sat at the table, and there were a lot of documents on the table, useful and useless, a lot, he needed to organize and classify.

    Suddenly,

    Her body trembled slightly,

    There was a solemn look on his face.

    A strong killing intent suddenly appeared from the location of the back house. Although it was well controlled, it was still sensed by the blind Bei who had the ability to detect mental power.

    However, in the blink of an eye, the killing intent was quickly annihilated and disappeared completely.

    Immediately, Blind Bei recognized who the owner of the murderous intent was.

    But he didn't know whether the killing intent was caught by him or if he deliberately leaked it to him.

    I don't know either,

    This killing intent,

    In the end it is to myself,

    Or to his old father

    Early morning,

    The first ray of corrupt sunlight shone into the house,

    Later,

    It is to dress corruptly, to wash corruptly, to eat corruptly,

    Even if you have already walked out of the room and came to the yard,

    Zheng Fan could still smell the lingering corruption on his body.

    Today's teaching is about to start. When I think of Liang Cheng's nails yesterday, I suddenly feel that my whole body is not well.

    "Ah Choo!"

    Zheng Fan sneezed, his eyes were a little dry.

    Sniffing the nose, I felt a burning smell in the air. Looking up, I could still see the swirling ashes in the sky.

    Is this burning straw?

    Not to mention that the season is not right now, even if it is to be burned, it is impossible to pile it up in the city to burn it?

    Just in time, Zheng Fan saw Fangcao walking in front with a piece of cloth in his hand, and when she stopped to salute to him, Zheng Fan asked:

    "What is burning outside?"

    Fangcao froze for a moment, then came to her senses and replied:

    "Returning to the master, many families outside are burning paper money."

    "Tomb-sweeping Day is not at this moment either. Could it be a special festival for you here?"

    In this world, at least in the eastern region, the cultural customs are no different from the world Zheng Fan lived in before, but if there is an extra festival like Qingming Festival in a year, it doesn't seem too strange.

    "No, master, it's the man who was conscripted last time to deliver the luggage and has returned."

    Zheng Fan opened his mouth, and the scene of the barbarian cavalry rushing into the supply camp that night appeared again in his mind. All this seemed to have happened yesterday, but in fact, it has been a long time since the night attack ended.  up.

    "I'm backhow much are you back?"

    "It seems that there are only two or three hundred people, so starting this morning, many families in the city have started to hold funerals."

    "Oh, well, that's all right, you can go to work."

    "Yes, master, I have something to tell you."

    Fangcao greeted Zheng Fan slightly, and left with her things in her arms.

    Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Last time, the Zhenbeihou Mansion conscripted two or three thousand civilian husbands from Hutou City, and only one tenth of them were able to return;

    It is conceivable how many families are attending funerals in Hutou City at this time.

    Moreover, the pillars of the family have not come back. Even in modern times, the mainstay of a family's economic pillar is gone. It is not easy for the remaining women to support a family, let alone the current situation.  This environment is equivalent to the collapse of the family's sky.

    "Master?"

    Si Niang's voice came from behind Zheng Fan.

    "Phew I was taken aback."

    "The servant is being abrupt, but the servant has called the master several times just now, and the master is thinking about this in his own heart, so he didn't hear it."

    "Well, I was really thinking about something just now."

    "My lord, have you taken a fancy to Fang Cao?" Si Niang asked suddenly.

    "Hmm what?"

    Zheng Fan's brain circuits couldn't keep up with Siniang's speed.

    "That's right, didn't the lord froze after seeing Fangcao just now, lord, if you want, Si Niang will arrange it for you tonight, and let her wash herself in bed and wait for the lord."

    "Isn't she from A Ming? I heard that she and A Ming have a very good relationship."

    &For a group of people, the pattern of cutting leeks has not changed, but eating is too straightforward.

    "My lord."

    At this moment, Liang Cheng walked in through the front door.

    "What's wrong?" Zheng Fan asked.

    "Just now a guard came to convey the news, asking the Lord to gather you in the Yamen before noon, saying that it was an order from the county magistrate."

    "Is something wrong?" Zheng Fan frowned slightly.

    Originally, the fat recruiter gave him ten days off, and now there are still a few days left.

    But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so Zheng Fan could only change into more serious clothes, find out some identity documents and prepare them, and then, accompanied by Liang Cheng, the two rode to the gate of the county government office.

    Naturally, Liang Cheng couldn't get in. After Zheng Fan took out his identity document and checked it with the two guards, he was led into the hall of the yamen.

    After entering, Zheng Fan realized that he seemed to be one of the latecomers, because the hall was already full of people.

    Some are wearing armor, some are wearing casual clothes like Zheng Fan, and some are potbellied, looking like a rich man.

    But these people present all have the official identity of a school lieutenant.

    Some are real titles, some are false titles.

    More than half of them are still the patriarchs in Wubao near Hutou City.

    In short, Zheng Fan didn't know any of these school lieutenant colleagues, and the only one who was able to call out his name before, also died outside the city two days ago.

    Oh, by the way, for the funeral of Wang Li's family, Blind Bei also sent a memorial fund in the name of Zheng Fan.

    ? Your Excellency is here,

    ? After the recruiter walks in,

    Everyone just found out,

    Yo, the old county magistrate is here too.

    Because the recruiter was too fat, he walked in front, completely covering the old county magistrate.

    Zheng Fan couldn't help thinking in his heart, if there was another random army killing people at this time, he must hide behind the envoy, such a large human shield is useless.

    The envoy envoy naturally didn't know what Zheng Fan was thinking in his heart. After seeing Zheng Fan standing at the outermost edge, he smiled at Zheng Fan, and then stepped into the hall.

    The two adults sat down first, and the lieutenants below were all standing without chairs.

    ?After the recruiter sat down, he began to watch his nose, nose, and heart, just like an old monk who had settled down and detached himself.

    The old county magistrate first coughed a few times, with a smile on his face,

    road:

    "I called everyone here this time because I have something good to tell you."

    "My lord, has the court's reward come down?"

    "But the imperial court's rations for this year have arrived?"

    "My lord, my Wubao didn't get much food last year, and I can hardly survive this day. Don't leave me this time, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the people below when I go back."

    "Yes, my lord, you must not miss me this year. The soldiers under your command will hardly be able to eat a meal."

    "Don't panic, don't rush, don't rush."

    The old county magistrate lowered his hands and continued kindly:

    "It's a good thing this time, everyone has a share, and everyone has a share."

    "My lord, what is the matter?"

    "It's like this. Isn't this a war a while ago? Our Hutou City was ordered by the Zhenbeihou Mansion to conscript thousands of civilians to help transport the supplies, but the army was dangerous, and many good men disappeared on the battlefield.  , Alas, once I think of this, I feel panicked in my heart."

    This is a politically correct topic,

    All the people present, including the envoy who was sitting in a high position and wandering in the sky, wiped the eye gum from the corners of his eyes together, and cooperated with the county magistrate to bring the rhythm of this bitter drama to an end.

    "The man in the family is gone, and some families will not be able to survive. Our Shantang in Hutou City has taken in nearly 300 dolls from nurses to seven or eight years old today.  .

    These are all orphans, some because there is no one in the family, and some because their mothers are about to remarry or the family can¡¯t afford to support them, and their husbands left again, so they send their children here.

    It is expected that more dolls will be sent tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

    Therefore, everyone is called this time for this matter.

    We Yan people have always believed in more children and more blessings. My official, this time I will take it as a son-off Guanyin.

    You say,

    Does this count as a great thing?

    ?I have given you a baby for everyone, so that you will be happy to be fathers.  "
