Very magical.
The child who almost lost his breath just now, after smelling these few wisps of green smoke, his silent body suddenly burped, and his stomach also began to rise and fall with breathing. Then he opened his eyes and saw with horrified eyes When she was nine girls, she cried loudly.
"Sister..."
It seems that while she was unconscious, the youngest still knew what happened.
Miss Ninth patted her brother on the back, calming his frightened mood, and let out a long sigh of relief.
She was always in high tension, and she felt a little dizzy when she relaxed, but she, who has always been strong, endured it.
When Chen Yun saw the child waking up, he removed the candle and beads. When he put away the black jealous bead, Miss Ninth had already pulled her brother to his knees.
"Brother Chen Yun, if you hadn't come to the rescue, my brother would have been in trouble.
If my brother is gone, then I don’t want to live anymore. Brother Chen, you saved my family.
Brother, come and kowtow to Brother Chen Yun. You must always remember that this is your savior!
Remember it for the rest of your life! "
Uncle Liu and several neighbors who were watching on the side also nodded. This kind of life-saving kindness was like a reborn parent, kowtow a few times.
Seeing Miss Ninth and her brother kneeling in front of him, Chen Yun was a little uncomfortable and quickly stepped forward to pull them up.
Suddenly, I don't know what I was thinking, but a thought suddenly came to my mind: I saved his life and kowtowed to him, what happened?
Then he watched helplessly as Miss Ninth took her brother and kowtowed to Chen Yun three times.
After Miss Ninth and her brother finished kowtowing, Chen Yun seemed to suddenly wake up and quickly went up to help them up.
"Your brother suffered this disaster and the damage to his body was quite serious. Go back and boil some eggs for him to supplement his nutrition.
Go back first!
never mind! "
Miss Ninth nodded: "Okay, Brother Chen, let's go back first!"
Miss Jiu left and several neighbors followed her, because it was a little far away from the village, and Old Man Zuo was relatively withdrawn and liked to live on the edge of the village.
However, as they walked, the sound of discussion still came from the wind.
"I didn't expect it! The people my uncle picked up couldn't even remember where their home was, but they had the means to subdue these weird things!"
"Tell me, could it be that my uncle taught him this? I remember that when my uncle first came back, he seemed to have killed a ghost."
"Hey, don't tell me, it's possible..."
"Then tell me, if I want to learn this technique from my uncle, will my uncle teach me?"
"Don't even think about it..."
Not far away, the group of them heard the sound of horse hooves faintly in the distance. When they looked up, they saw that it was two men who looked like detectives riding fast horses towards the village.
Seeing that the other party was heading towards the village, Uncle Liu quickly took two steps forward and waited by the roadside.
"It turns out it's Capt. Li and Capt. Wang. I wonder what they are up to when they come here this time?
If you need help, I will summon the villagers to listen and dispatch! "
Uncle Liu is the village chief of this small village. To be honest, there are not many people in this small village, and being the village chief does not show any prestige.
But once something is assigned by the county government, the village chief will have to take the blame if it can't be handled well.
Therefore, Uncle Liu is very respectful to the two people in front of him. Although the two people in front of him are police officers, according to their grades, they are untouchables. They belong to the kind of family where three generations cannot take the imperial examination. But are they unworthy, like Uncle Liu? It doesn't matter to the common people.
The title and position of a police officer can be passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, and then passed down from generation to generation. As long as there are no problems in the dynasty, these Yamen families will basically not change.
This is an iron rice bowl, and ordinary people are quite envious of it.
As for those who look down on government officials and police officers, only those real scholar-bureaucrats, those who have money to study, and those who have the opportunity to take the imperial examination, will look down on these people.
Captain Li and Captain Wang, who knew Uncle Liu, stopped their horses, lowered their heads and asked, "Village Chief Liu, where does Zuo Qianjun from your village live?"
After hearing this, Second Uncle Liu looked up in shock: "Are you two here to see Uncle Zuo?
Uncle Zuo is not at home now and has gone up the mountain to collect herbs. If the matter is not urgent, why don't you two go to my house first and I will serve you good food and tea.
After eating and drinking, it’s time for Uncle Zuo to come back! "
Capt. Li and Capt. Wang quickly looked at the sky, nodded and dismounted: "By the way, there is a woman in your village, Wang Ajiu, who is over fourteen or two years old, right?
Let her know and ask her to pay the taxes she owes!
According to the law of the imperial court, if a woman is over fifteen years old and unmarried, she will be taxed five times, and if she is over sixteen years old and unmarried, she will be married to an official.
Village Chief Liu, there is a woman in your village who is over 15 years old and unmarried. You are derelict in your duty if you don’t report it!
If you villagers hadn't submitted the petition, the county government wouldn't have known that you, Village Chief Liu, were so bold! "
The poll tax for imperial taxes, which used to be twenty cents per person per year, is now doubled to forty cents per year. For women who are over fifteen but unmarried, the forty cents will be doubled five times, which is two hundred cents.
Two years, that’s 400 yuan!
A load of grain is only 120 cash, more or less, 400 cash is about three or four loads of grain.
For ordinary people, four hundred cents, which can buy three or four loads of grain, is a lot of money, and some families even cannot afford it at once.
But what Second Uncle Liu cares about now is not the four hundred coins, but nodding and thanking Capt. Li: "Thank you Capt. Li, come on, I have to go to my house for a meal today.
It happened that our family still had a jar of wine stored at the winery in the village next door, so I asked someone to pick it up.
It was stuffed with glutinous rice for a long time. The geese at home grew too fat and would lose weight if they didn't eat it.
Just kill it and simmer it in a pot for half an hour. It will definitely be delicious.
Make sure you two enjoy it!
After eating, Uncle Zuo will be back soon!
By the time,"
After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the two constables' horses in his hands. The two horses took the lead and led the two constables towards his home.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and shouted to Miss Ninth, who was standing frozen on the roadside holding her younger brother, at a loss.
"Miss Ninth, wait for a while when you get home. I'll bring the money over in a moment. You can help me go to the next village's wine shop to bring back a jar of wine!"
Miss Jiu hugged her younger brother and quickly reacted, saying, "Hey!"
Uncle Liu led the horse into his house and shouted to the woman in the house: "Kill the fattest goose in the house and entertain Mr. Li and Mr. Wang!"
He asked Capt. Li and Capt. Wang to sit down in the main room, poured water and put on a plate of fried beans. Only then did he have time to ask.
"Uncle Zuo is seventy-one years old. I wonder if there is anything else you two need to find him for?
If you are over seventy, even if you commit some crime, but it is not mainly murder, the government will basically ignore it, right? "
Li Captou looked at Uncle Liu with a smile: "Don't worry!
Village Chief Liu, it’s not a bad thing!
The yamen heard that Zuo Qianjun had a nephew who was now practicing the method of slaying demons, so he asked me and the other two to come over and have a chat.
I wanted to ask if I would like to work in the Yamen.
Not a bad thing! "
Hearing Capt. Li say this, Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what happened to Wang Ajiu, is it really a petition filed by the villagers in my village?"
Li Captou nodded: "Although there are laws and regulations on this kind of thing, basically the people don't take it up and the officials don't investigate it.
Moreover, there are very few unmarried women over 14 years old.
If someone hadn't complained, the county magistrate would never have remembered such a thing.
Now it is not only necessary to make up for two years of head tax, but also to verify whether it has exceeded sixteen. If it exceeds sixteen, it will be officially matched.
If a sixteen-year-old girl is really married to an official, she will definitely not be matched with a good family. Most of them will be elderly widows.
well! commit a sin!
After all, the people in your village are still at odds! "
