Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

The coachman pulled the carriage and ran away as if fleeing.

The old couple looked at Qin Mu and Li Er, and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you two gentlemen, we will pay back the money."

Li Er waved his hand and said generously, "Why is there no money? Why are you still going to Chang'an at such an old age?"

"Lang Jun, you don't know..." the old woman opened her mouth and said.

The old man gave him a hand.

Followed by.

The old woman changed her words: "We...we are here to join relatives."

Chapter 1238 Datang People Don't Lie Datang People (1/3)

Qin Mu and Li Er are so smart.

As soon as I heard it, I knew there was something hidden in this matter.

The old couple's eyes dodged, their expressions flustered, and they seemed to have something to hide.

Li Er didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "Old man, auntie, we will just go back to Chang'an City in a while. If you don't mind, come back with us. There is still a long way from Chang'an City."

Hearing this, the old couple looked at each other, thinking naturally in their hearts, but they were afraid to trouble Li Er.

Qin Mu's brows stretched, and he echoed, "Let's go, sir, we just happened to be on the way, no trouble, and people from Datang don't lie to people from Datang."

"This...then I will trouble you two gentlemen." The old man responded, bowing deeply.

Immediately, Li Er and Qin Mu brought the old couple to the shed.

Li Er poured them two bowls of tea and took a plate of pastries, "Old man, auntie, please eat and drink some water, we will leave in a while."

He could tell that the old couple was ragged and unkempt, and they probably didn't have a few full meals along the way.

The old couple was obviously hungry, swallowing, their throats rolling.

However, neither of them did it.

Originally, Li Er and Qin Mu had paid for them and had to take them to Chang'an City, which was troublesome enough.

Now I want to eat other people's things again.

Qin Mu said casually: "Master and aunt, eat it. If we can't finish this thing, we will throw it away."

"Ah?" The old man was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise, "This...such a good thing..."

Li Er pushed forward again, "Hurry up and eat, what he said is right, we can't finish it if you don't eat."

The words fall.

The old couple thanked them again and again, and then started to eat. They didn't gobble it up, but ate slowly.

Although it's not good to say so, it's still letting them eat.

Li Er didn't rush to ask, and drank beer with Qin Mu.

He is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he must take care of this kind of thing and ask.

moment.

The old couple ate and drank enough, their faces were full of satisfaction.

Immediately, Li Er asked: "Old man, we are from Yushitai, if you have any grievances, you can tell us."

Hearing that the old couple stared at Li Er in a daze, their eyes were full of disbelief.

See them like this.

Li Er felt that his estimate was about the same, so he continued: "In recent years, the imperial court has been very concerned about the people, and it has dealt a huge blow to corrupt officials."

"Don't care about the princes and nobles, the relatives of the emperor, as long as they violate the law, we will never tolerate them."

Li Eryi added fuel and vinegar to his words.

The words fall.

poof...

The old couple knelt down on the ground, "My lord, we have a grievance. We sued Jia Pingxu, the mayor of Fenchuan City in Danzhou, and embezzled the hard-earned money of the people in Zhaojia Town, Fenchuan City."

Hearing this, Li Er stepped forward to help them up, and hurriedly said: "Old man, aunt, don't worry, you can talk slowly, I will definitely decide this matter for you."

He really didn't expect that there was really a grievance.

Followed by.

The old man's eyes were moist and he said hastily.

"Responding to my lord, the old man's name is Zhao Shan, and he is from Zhaojia Town, Fenchuan City. We, the old couple, have no children and have been farming for a living."

"Originally, after the imperial government reduced or exempted agricultural taxes and corvee, the lives of the people should be easier."

"When the imperial court collects grain, it divides the grain into three levels: A, B, and C."

"Our Zhaojia Town used to have first-class food, but since Jia Pingxu took office the year before last, he has turned all our town's food into third-class food and deducted people's hard-earned money."

"Someone was going to sue, but his leg was broken halfway."

"We have no children anyway, and we are not afraid of death at this age, but we can no longer let such corrupt officials abuse the common people."

The old man said, mixed with grief and sadness.

Li Er was very angry.

Now the tricks of these corrupt officials are really increasing.

They don't know how to collect money, and collect the people's first-class grain according to the third-class grain, and earn the difference.

What the hell is devoid of conscience.

Li Er is trying his best to benefit the people, create happiness, and increase income.

That's fine.

These corrupt officials really did everything they could to discredit him.

I'm afraid that he will be a good emperor, and that the people of Daxia will live a good life.

Followed by.

Li Er looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Do you dare to be responsible for what you said?"

"Of course." The old man couldn't help nodding, "We risked our lives, how dare we deceive adults with such things."

"In a few days, it will be the harvest day, so we are here now, so that the court can find evidence."

Li Er lowered his eyes and said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, and I will take care of it to the end."

Nowadays, Li Er is mainly focusing on the two matters of people's livelihood and business.

If this kind of thing happened to him, he would definitely take care of it.

The words landed.

The eyes of the old man and the old woman were full of excitement, "My lord, is what you said true, my lord?"

Li Erzhong nodded, "Of course."

Followed by.

Li Er called Cheng Yaojin over, and asked someone to find a carriage to take the old couple back to Danzhou.

They went one step ahead and went straight to Zhaojia Town.

......

halfway.

Qin Mu still had a dazed look on his face, so he was abducted by Li Er?

"Your Majesty, at least let me go home and explain."

"It went away without a sound."

"Tsk..." Li Er glared at Qin Mu, "What can I explain? Danzhou is only two days away from Chang'an City, and we will be back in less than five days."

"Furthermore, when you go back, the food will be harvested."

Now, Li Er has nothing to worry about, and he can do what he says.

Qin Mu nodded helplessly, if he is forced to open business, he must be forced to open business.

Danzhou is not too far away.

However, there are really enough methods of these corrupt officials now, and it is impossible to guard against them.

To squeeze out the hard-earned money of the people with good times.

This means that Jia Pingxu is more greedy and directly lowered by two grades. If he lowered [-]% of the people's food to one grade, no one would sue him.

Li Er was thinking in his mind that he would think of some way to prevent such things from happening in the future.

The interests of the people must not be violated.

at the same time.

The old couple boarded the carriage back to Danzhou before reaching Chang'an City.

However, this carriage is extremely luxurious, with everything you need to eat, such as pastries, fruits, etc., and there is also a couch to rest on.

They are estimated to earn a lifetime of money, and they can't even afford this car.

"Old man, do you think that lord will really help us?" The old woman looked at the old man and asked in a low voice.

The old man picked up the futon, put it aside carefully, and sat down on the wooden board, "Don't worry, if it's not a big shot, how could it be possible to send such a carriage to take us back."

"Now the hard-earned money of the big guys doesn't have to worry about being deducted."

Chapter 1239 If you go forward again, he will die! (2/3)

Danzhou.

Fenchuan City, Zhaojia Town.

The wind is sunny and the sky is clear.

After the autumn harvest, the dried wheat has already been piled up in people's homes, and the corn has been sown.

This season is the season for the imperial court to collect grain, some of which are stored in granaries in various places, and some are transported to border stations.

Today, Zhaojia Town was extremely lively, and officials from Fenchuan City came to collect grain.

However, although the people are very busy, their enthusiasm is not high.

There is no way, the first-class grain is sold to the imperial court according to the third-class grain, and the price difference between them is nearly [-]%.

[-]% difference.

How much money do the common people earn for a year of hard work?

With a swipe of their pens, what they swipe away is the blood and sweat of the people.

Li Er hated such corrupt officials the most, and so did Qin Mu.

Li Er and the others have been in Zhaojia Town for three days, and basically have a general understanding of the matter.

The mastermind of this incident was Jia Pingxu, the mayor of Fenchuan City.

at the same time.

Zhaojia Town Square.

Harvest has officially started.

Under the auspices of Fenchuan City Recorder, the common people were reluctant to sell grain.

Zhao Fang, the county magistrate of Zhaojia Town, was watching from the side with a gloomy expression.

As an incompetent county magistrate, he caused the people of Zhaojia Town to suffer for three years.

This year, he asked Zhao Bin and his wife to go to Chang'an City to sue the matter, and he didn't know how the matter was going.

"Grade C, two thousand catties..."
