    ?

    As soon as Du Qi saw Meng Fu's wry smile, he roughly understood it.

    It is clear why.

    Just a bunch of lazy people.

    To be honest, farming is encouraged in Xia Kingdom today. As long as you are willing to farm steadily, it is not difficult to achieve food and clothing. Not to mention being rich, you can at least earn a living.  In addition, factories have been set up in various places in Xia Kingdom, and many industries are being promoted, as well as other bridges and roads, ditches and ditches, all of which require countless people to work.

    As long as you are willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, it is no problem to make money to support your family.

    Du Qi shook his head and stopped talking.

    Meng Fu could only sit aside in embarrassment. He looked at Moredo's burly and sturdy body, and felt quite regretful at this moment.  Earlier, relying on his large number of people, even if he saw Moredo, he thought he had a chance, so he charged.  Unexpectedly, in the end, the evolution to the present point would be so miserable.

    Time passed little by little, and after about half an hour, I saw a group of people coming from the official road ahead.

    The leader is an old man.

    Du Qi took a look and roughly guessed that this must be the clan elder Meng Fu was talking about.  And behind the old man, although there were many people, they were all a group of women and children, and all of them came in a hurry.

    Not long after, the crowd arrived.

    A group of women and children were chattering, their faces were filled with awe and worry.  When they looked at Du Qi, there was still anger in their eyes.  It doesn't matter right or wrong, these family members of the villagers who were coerced because of Meng Fu will be full of resentment towards Du Qi because of their respective positions.

    The clan elder of Danshan Village is named Meng Qingshan.

    Already in his sixties, he is the oldest person in the village. He has seen too many things and has the most experience.

    Meng Qingshan stepped forward, walked in front of Du Qi, bowed and said, "Master, this time it was the villagers of our Danshan Village who were rude. We made a mistake and provoked you, so you proposed ten pennies, and we will give it to you."  Ten pennies."

    As soon as he beckoned, someone came up with a box.

    That is the collected ten strings of money.

    In fact, the people of each family in the village are not very poor. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two for them to collect tolls on this road. After one or two years, they have already saved a lot of money.  And this time, each household contributed money again.  But even so, there were disputes when collecting money, and some villagers were unwilling to pay.

    Meng Qingshan decided to raise money, because Meng Qingshan thought that as long as there were people, there would be problems, so he finally raised the money.

    Du Qi didn't even look at how much money he had, he asked, "What's the old man's name?"

    Meng Qingshan said: "Little old Meng Qingshan."

    Du Qi said: "I have accepted the ten guan money, and these ordinary villagers can leave. As for the leader, Meng Fu, I will not execute him, but hand him over to the government for disposal. That's all, you all leave."

    When Meng Qingshan heard it, the expression on his old face changed drastically.  The creases all over the face were crowded together, forming ravines, making it look extremely old.  Leaning on crutches, with his back slightly bent, he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, you can report anyone who came with Meng Fu this time, but not Meng Fu."

    Du Qi laughed, and said disdainfully: "Why can others do it, but he can't."

    Meng Qingshan said: "My lord, although Meng Fu and the others collect tolls, it is against the law and discipline, and they are not worthy of sympathy. After all, this kind of forced buying and selling is not considered fair and honest. And if it falls into the hands of your lord, we are also guilty of it."  , and simply gave him ten pennies. But Meng Fu is an upright person, which is admired by all of us. Meng Fu can't leave. Once he leaves, there will be no one to rely on for the more than twenty widowed old people in the village.  gone."

    Du Qidao: "How to say?"

    He was a little curious about how open and aboveboard Meng Fu was.  Of course, judging from Meng Fu's figure alone, Meng Fu's physical strength is also suitable for his age. If he goes out to work and earn money, he can support his family, but he charges tolls.

    Could it be that there is something tricky in it.

    Meng Qingshan explained: "My son, when Meng Fu was young, he was very brave and served in the army. At that time, the Central Plains was still in the Sui Dynasty, and Yizhou also belonged to the Sui Dynasty at that time. Meng Fu and some people were in the army.  They all work for the Sui Dynasty."

    "Later, there was no sound in the Sui Dynasty, especially Yizhou was also in chaos. It happened that the Turks were raging and entered Yizhou. Meng Fu fought with a group of soldiers. In the end, only a few people survived."

    "Meng Fu is one of them."

    "Many of Meng Fu's comrades all died on the battlefield. Many of his comrades were only sons, and these comrades died.??, their parents are lonely and have no one to rely on.  "

    Meng Qingshan coughed twice, and continued: "It would be good if you were a little younger, but it will be difficult for the elderly with poor health, no one to take care of them, it is very miserable."

    "Meng Fu couldn't bear the loneliness of his fellow parents, so he brought these widowed and lonely old people to our Danshan Village, and he supported everyone by himself. At first, no one in the village collected tolls, and later it was our village.  People, they lobbied Meng Fu who didn't want to go, so Meng Fu brought people to go."

    "Speaking of which, every family has made money collecting tolls, but Meng Fu's money has been used to support these old people. He is a good man and should not be arrested and sent to the government. I implore, my son, because Meng Fu is kind and upright  For the sake of it, give him a chance."

    Meng Qingshan said: "We have paid the money, and we will never do this matter of collecting tolls again. Please, my lord, let Meng Fu go. If you want to beat or scold, if you want to vent, these people are at your disposal."

    In his words, there is a defense of Meng Fu.  Meng Fu was raised by Meng Qingshan, so he couldn't be sent to the government like this, otherwise Meng Fu would be abolished.

    Du Qi looked at Meng Fu, a little surprised, but he is a man with a story and a good heart.

    Unfortunately, I did something wrong.

    Du Qi was thoughtful, so he had a plan, so he ordered: "Mo Ledo, let the people behind follow up after firing the arrow."

    "yes!"

    Mo Ledo took out the loud arrow and fired it directly.

    "Phew!"

    The loud arrow lifted off and exploded in the air.

    Following the sound of the arrow bursting in the air, after a while, there was the sound of horseshoes on the official road behind.  Every horse is nailed with horseshoes, and the horseshoes trample on the concrete road, rattling, and the sound is extremely urgent.  It was too late, but it was fast, and more than fifty soldiers from the imperial army appeared soon.  Every soldier of the imperial army is dressed in armor, giving people a great sense of oppression.

    This scene shocked Meng Qingshan, Meng Fu and other villagers.

    Especially since Meng Fu was born in the army, he could see at a glance that this team of cavalry was extraordinary and definitely not owned by ordinary people.

    Mo Ledo said: "Young master, everyone is here."

    Du Qi looked at Guan Zhilan, and ordered: "Guan Zhilan, you take ten cavalrymen, and let the former Meng Laoer lead the way to the village to see if Meng Qingshan's words are true."

    "yes!"

    Guan Zhilan responded immediately.

    He stepped forward as soon as he beckoned, and then let Meng Laoer lead the way, and quickly went to the village of Danshan Village.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
