Meng Qingshan looked at the leaving army, thinking quickly in his heart. If he hadn't seen the army before, Meng Qingshan just thought that Du Qi was just an ordinary son. Now seeing the army, Meng Qingshan's heart trembled, because it was the official who offended him.
Meng Qingshan knelt down tremblingly, and said: "Young Master, Meng Fu made a mistake, and my Danshan Village made a mistake, and I offended you. Please, my lord, please spare the villagers, they are innocent."
Du Qidao: "Get up, don't kneel."
But Meng Qingshan didn't dare to get up, the identity of the person in front of him was not simple, wouldn't it be rude to get up at this time, if Du Qi was offended, Danshan Village would be lost.
Du Qi said lightly: "Why, I don't understand what I said. Wouldn't you even tell you to get up?"
"Yes Yes!"
Meng Qingshan got up now, bowed and stood aside. His breathing at this time was a little short, and he even lowered his head, not daring to look at Du Qi, because the identity of the person in front of him was not simple.
Meng Fu and Meng Qingshan looked at each other, both of them were guessing in their hearts who Du Qi was. Because the two couldn't figure out who they had offended.
Time goes by little by little.
The atmosphere is still stagnant.
Even these women and children did not dare to speak out, lest they offend Du Qi and be slaughtered. The rest of the people who came with Meng Fu were also cautious at this time.
It didn't take long this time, Guan Zhilan came back with someone. Guan Zhilan hurriedly came to Du Qi's side, and said, "Young master, what Meng Qingshan said is true. His family has indeed supported more than 20 old people who are lonely and widowed. These old people look good, and I went up to chat on purpose to understand Based on the general situation, there has never been a fake."
Du Qi nodded and said: "Meng Fu, I didn't expect that you still have such a heart."
Meng Fu shook his head and said: "My lord, that is my private matter, not worth mentioning. Moreover, I did it voluntarily. This matter has nothing to do with our current toll collection."
The expression on Du Qi's face became softer, and he said seriously: "You are right, it really doesn't matter, but because of this incident, I will give you a chance to reform."
Meng Fu's eyes widened, with an incredulous expression on his face.
Give him a chance.
Do you want him to leave?
Du Qi said: "I won't take your ten pennies, but I will return them to you. This is because you have a pure heart. In addition, I would like to tell you one more thing. From today on, do not collect tolls on the road. Because Next, the entire territory of Yizhou, and even the territory of Xia Kingdom, will be severely cracked down to deal with this kind of road tyrant who collects tolls."
After a pause, Du Qi said again: "This time I will spare you, and the matter will stop here. But next time, once you are caught during the crackdown, you will be imprisoned and imprisoned, or killed directly. Take it as a warning and don¡¯t make mistakes again.¡±
"gone!"
Du Qi gave an order directly.
He turned back to the carriage, and the groom who was driving immediately swung his whip, the carriage set off, and the whole team left quickly. This departure was crisp and neat, without any pause.
This scene shocked Meng Qingshan, Meng Fu and everyone else, feeling incredible. This noble young master's mood was like a June day, suddenly the sun cleared, he didn't deal with him, and he returned all the money.
"My money, I have eighteen hundred dollars in it, I want my money back."
"I have two thousand dollars, don't grab it."
"I have fifteen hundred dollars."
All the women and children rushed up, intending to grab the money directly, but before they rushed over, Meng Qingshan stomped his crutches and shouted to stop. In an instant, everyone stopped, and no one dared to move forward. In such a rural place, although the clan elders were not officials appointed by the imperial court, they actually had great power.
After Meng Qingshan gave the order, everyone didn't dare to mess around, they all waited for Meng Qingshan to speak.
Meng Qingshan snorted, and said slowly: "This box of money is not allowed to be taken casually. How much money each of your households paid is recorded in the register. When you return to the village, you will be refunded one by one. I understand. Yet?"
"Understood!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"I see."
At this moment, Meng Fu suddenly shouted, and a shocked expression appeared on his rough and dark face. Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Meng Fu again, feeling that Meng Fu was startled.
Meng Qingshan said: "Meng Fu, what do you know?"
MengSwallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said, "The person who just passed by was King Xia Du Qi, definitely King Xia Du Qi. The people from Danshan Village robbed King Xia."
Meng Qingshan frowned and said, "Impossible."
Meng Fu continued: "Clan elder, King Xia is in his early twenties. The most important point is that King Xia has a guard by his side. He is about ten feet long with a dark complexion. courage."
"I fought him just now, which just proved one point. Because from the beginning to the end, I didn't even withstand a face-to-face, and was directly taken down by the opponent. Only King Xia and the soldiers around him have this fighting power."
"Because he is King Xia, he dared to say that the whole of Yizhou and even the whole of Xia Kingdom will start to crack down on people who collect tolls on official roads. Clan elders, this matter is absolutely true, I The guess is definitely not wrong."
Meng Fu looked determined.
Hearing this, Meng Qingshan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
King Xia!
That person is King Xia!
However, Meng Qingshan thought about it carefully, and from the previous actions, it seemed to confirm that it was most likely King Xia. Meng Qingshan took a deep breath and said, "Meng Fu, you are so lucky. If you were the rest of the nobles, you would have been executed long ago, and even the people in our village would be affected."
Meng Fudao: "This time, the region has had a great fortune, clan elders, we really can't collect tolls in the future. In addition, the people in our village want to make money, and then they will earn money by themselves. What should be cultivated should be cultivated, and they should go out to work. If you make money, you make money."
Meng Qingshan said: "That's what it means, let's work hard now."
Meng Fu said: "What the clan elders said is true."
On the other side, Du Qi and his group were on their way quickly, and it was almost noon. When the group stopped to prepare for lunch, Guan Zhilan sat beside Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect Meng Fu to have such a humble job." conscience"
Du Qidao: "What happened to Meng Fu was indeed unexpected. If it wasn't for Meng Fu supporting so many people, I would have sent him directly to the government. Such a road tyrant must be punished."
The case of Meng Fuqi can only be an example. The next crackdown is the key, and it must be severely punished. Because only such severe punishment can make the Roadhogs everywhere disappear completely.
Guan Zhilan said: "Your Majesty, the next step is to crack down hard, how to crack down hard?"
Du Qidao: "To put it simply, it is to arrange officials to pretend to be ordinary people fishing. Once they encounter them, they will be executed immediately if the circumstances are serious, and sent to prison if the circumstances are minor. In a word, they must be punished severely. If these things are not completely suppressed Then, there will always be hidden dangers in Xia Kingdom."
Guan Zhilan said: "Your Highness is wise!"
Du Qi and Guan Zhilan chatted first, and after Liu Jian's food was cooked, they took a rest after lunch and continued on their way to Nazhi County. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
