Team leader Zhou showed great enthusiasm and greeted the mother and daughter. He had never treated his biological father so well in his life.
The woman felt like she was in a dream. Before this, she didn't know the name "Qin Feng" at all.
It wasn't until he was arrested and brought to the county town that he learned from Wu Qi that there was someone like Qin Feng in the world.
The first prince of the Liang Kingdom, the lord of the northern border, defeated the commander of the Da Di army head-on, defended Da Qingshan and escaped...
All kinds of honors, for women, are like hearing from heaven.
A woman who has spent half her life struggling to "survive" cannot understand what these honors mean with her limited knowledge.
But one thing she understood was that this man named Qin Feng was a powerful figure that even His Majesty was afraid of.
For women, His Majesty is the sky, and Qin Feng is the mountain that has touched the sky.
For such a big man to actually care about the life and death of an untouchable, this simply overturned the woman's outlook on life.
The other people present were not much better. They looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.
For a time, whispers at the scene started one after another.
"Am I right? Qin Feng actually asked the mother and daughter to go to the county government office to take shelter?"
"Did Wu Qi say something wrong? How could Qin Feng be as vicious as he said?"
"That is, although he is a foreign envoy, he actually treats the people more diligently than our own officials..."
"Humph, it turns out that rumors can't be trusted!"
Qin Feng ignored the discussion at the scene, glanced at the crowd gathered outside the county government office, and found that there were many women present.
Sure enough, all the heroic and heroic squires in the world have the same virtue. When exploiting the people, they do not even blink an eyelid.
Qin Feng called Liu Ming to his side and whispered a few words.
Under everyone's nervous and confused gazes, Liu Ming moved a stool, raised his legs and stood on it, and asked loudly: "All the women present, who did not come voluntarily, come out and line up again in the west."
"Volunteer to do hard work, but those who have children and old people at home who need care and support can also come out."
At first, everyone did not dare to come forward because they were nervous.
But looking at the mother and daughter huddled in the Yamen to keep warm, and then looking at Qin Feng who always had a faint smile on his face, the tension in everyone's hearts was not so strong.
When the first woman walked out of the crowd, the remaining women no longer had any psychological burden. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty women appeared in Qin Feng's sight.
The youngest of these women is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the oldest one is over forty years old.
Any woman who has raised children and can still do menial work is considered strong.
Compared to the women, the men at the scene were particularly nervous. After all, these women were their family members. If something went wrong, their families would be destroyed.
Under Qin Feng's instruction, Liu Ming called all the more than fifty women in front of him and lined them up one by one.
At the same time, he stuffed a chair behind Qin Feng and took out a charcoal brazier from the Yamen to keep Qin Feng warm.
In fact, with Qin Feng's physical fitness, there is no need to make such a fuss. He is not exhausted, and he can still bear the cold.
However, since it was the kindness of his subordinates, Qin Feng did not refuse. He looked at the women in front of him whose cheeks were red from the cold, and started asking questions one by one from the beginning.
"May I have your name?"
The woman in her thirties lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Qin Feng. She clenched her fists nervously: "The grass woman has no name. She takes her husband's surname. People in the village call me Zhang's wife..."
Qin Feng nodded: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, were you captured by the Wu family, or did you voluntarily work as a coolie?"
As soon as she heard this, the Zhang family's daughter-in-law couldn't help but shed tears and sobbed: "The grass woman was fine at home. When the Wu family came, they arrested the grass woman indiscriminately. She also said that she met a pie in the sky. It's a good thing, as long as you go to the royal capital, you can receive one hundred and fifty coins or one stone of food every month to survive the winter."
"But... but... the grass woman has three children at home. The eldest is only six years old, and the younger is not yet one year old."
"If the grass woman and her husband leave, all three children will starve to death."
Speaking of this, the Zhang family's daughter-in-law became so emotional that she knelt on the ground and started crying: "Please Lord Qin to make the decision."
The reason why Qin Feng went to Changshui County in person was because he was worried that there would be squires exploiting the people, but he really guessed it.
I spent money on myself and did a lot of evil things, which was such a loss.
Before Qin Feng could answer, Liu Ming on the side had already comforted her softly: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you don't have to worry. Mr. Hou personally came to Changshui County to make decisions for you."
After hearing this, Zhang's wife stopped crying and looked up at Qin Feng. Although she knew that the man in front of her was different from those powerful and famous people who eat people without spitting out their bones, he would really help a pariah like her make the decision. ? The Zhang family’s daughter-in-law still couldn’t believe it.
Qin Feng did not rush to reply to Zhang's wife, but glanced at the pile of men and asked casually: "Who is her man?"
A lean man in the crowd couldn't stand it anymore. He ran to Qin Feng in a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed. As for what he was kowtowing for, he didn't even know.
Qin Feng made a look and signaled Liu Ming to drag the lean man up from the ground.
"Although these evil things were all done by the Wu family, I am the financial backer after all, and I should bear certain responsibilities."
"May I have your name?"
The lean man quickly replied: "Zhang Erniu, a common man."
Qin Feng nodded, took out the money bag from his sleeve, and took out a broken piece of silver, which was less than one tael.
Everyone present was muttering in their hearts.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a big shot like Qin Feng could actually use broken pieces of silver. You know, even the wealthy gentry in the county would throw away a few taels of silver, which was outrageous.
Qin Feng's money didn't come from strong winds, and with his current mentality, he had already lost interest in "spending money for enjoyment".
"Bring the Wu family here."
Wu Heng, who had been clamoring in the distance, originally planned to regain his position and let Qin Feng know who has the final say in Changshui County.
As a result, he screamed for a long time, but no one paid attention to him. Following Qin Feng's understatement, Ning Hu rushed forward and was punched in the nose before Wu Heng could react.
After this punch, tears and nosebleeds flowed from his eyes.
Wu Heng whimpered in pain, and the knife in his hand was kicked away by Ning Hu. Then he was grabbed by the back of his neck and slipped directly in front of Qin Feng.
All Wu Zhai's nursing staff present were dumbfounded.
