    Jia Yun looked at the sky and said, "Pingyi Village in Fengyi Town is forty miles away from here. Even if we go there at this time, it will be dark. Why don't uncle rest at the county government office for the night and leave early tomorrow morning?"

    Jia Lian waved his hand: "No need, I have a fast horse. We can go to the town first to get a feel for the situation. We will start digging early tomorrow morning. The Holy Spirit is waiting for me to announce the good news."

    When Jia Yun heard this, she did not dare to hesitate. She ordered the government servants to pull the cart and drive the three elders slowly, while she rode ahead with Jia Lian.

    Jia Lian, Jia Yun and the three little leopards rode fast and whipped their horses, and at the first moment of Youshi, they arrived at Pingyi Village, Fengyi Town.

    Jia Lian saw large fields of sweet potatoes on both sides of the road, and someone was cutting sweet potato seedlings in the fields.

    Jia Lian and the other three dismounted, pretended to be passers-by and approached him to chat: "Excuse me, uncle, what are you doing?"

    The old farmer is about fifty, with gray hair on his temples, but he is in good spirits.  Seeing that Jia Lian and others were polite, he put down his sickle and cupped his hands: "Several guests are polite. May I ask if you are looking for relatives or visiting friends?"

    Jia Lian replied: "We were passing by here and saw the crops growing luxuriantly, so we asked."

    The old farmer was very happy when he heard this: "Our county grandpa has sent word that he will come to our village tomorrow to inspect the farming and dig on the spot in the old man's field. He said that he is collecting data and reporting it to the emperor. The old man was very happy after hearing the news.  No, I will bring my son here to clean up, so as not to delay the master's errand tomorrow."

    When Jia Lian saw Jia Yun, he raised his hands and asked, "Have you always known the county magistrate?"

    The old farmer waved his hand: "Look what you said, how can this old man be so lucky? The county magistrate is busy."

    Jia Lian asked again: "May I ask how your county magistrate is like?"

    The old farmer immediately beamed: "If you ask our county magistrate, there is nothing he can say, just 'good'!"

    Jia Lian smiled and asked, "Dare I ask what's good about him?"

    The old farmer said: "Have you ever heard of the two tyrants in our county? In the past, the county magistrates often had fierce fights with the Qin and Wang families as soon as they came here, and they joined forces to dominate and dominate. Those government officials came down to arrest them casually.  Man, you can't get away without blackmailing you for a few taels of silver. This is not the case with this newly appointed grand master. As soon as he came, he dismissed the two yamen officials of the Qin family and the Wang family.

    It has been half a year since he took office, and the government officials have never gone to the countryside to disturb the people.  Not only that, my grandfather also used the property confiscated from the Qin family and the Wang family to buy grain and distribute it to needy households. He also distributed sweet potato seeds for us to plant for free. This year we are also exempt from tax.

    How many years have I met such a great master of Qingtian? I will tell my children and grandchildren that they have caught up with the good times, the Japanese pirates have also been beaten away, the master of the sky has also given food to eat, the weather is good, and I have met such a good parent and official, it is just right.  These are the three greatest joys in life!  "

    Jia Lian was happy to hear this. He felt that this man was talkative and insightful, so he paid attention and went to his house to stay for the night. Then he raised his hands and asked, "May I ask the old man how long he will live?"

    The old farmer handed over his hand and said, "I don't dare to live long. This old man is fifty-three this year."

    Jia Lian was full of compliments: "You are so energetic, I can't tell it at all. Are these two your sons?"

    The old man nodded: "Yes." After saying this, he greeted his two sons who were immersed in work: "Come here to greet the guests."

    The two sons seemed a little cautious. They just stopped the waiter, bent down and handed over to Jia Lian, and then went back to work with their heads down.

    The old man smiled and said: "My sons have never seen the world, so they can only laugh."

    Jia Lian asked: "You seem to have read books?"

    The old man nodded: "Our family used to open a shop in Shuntai County. That year, the shop was destroyed by Japanese pirates. Everything in the shop was robbed. My father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and all the guys died, and the shop was burned down. It was a great loss.  I was selling goods outside, so I escaped.

    From where, I was also cold. I took the goods in my hand and set up the clothes for my father and mother. I bought a few acres of land with the remaining money and settled in the house.  These two sons are also under my control too tightly, so they might not have been to the county seat. I am afraid that my old Tian family cannot be cut off.  "

    Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's better now, the Japanese pirates have been driven away."

    The old man felt the same way: "Yes, I have ten acres of land of my own, and I harvested a season of wheat in the spring. Thanks to the governor for his kindness, the old man rented thirty acres of fertile land and twenty acres of hillside land from the government. This year he  It¡¯s tax-free, and I¡¯m going to send my two eldest grandsons to the town¡¯s annex. I can¡¯t imitate them anymore, they¡¯ve become stupid under my supervision.¡±

    Jia Lian felt very happy when he was praised in person, and decided to tell the story of this family to the new emperor, so he glanced at Jia Yun and suggested that he record it.

    Jia Yun understood the idea and took out a pen and paper.

    Jia Lian smiled and asked: "YouHe keeps a low profile. Although his family has plenty of money, he retreats to the countryside. His son doesn't even dare to read.

    But it turned out that he was afraid of the Wang family and Yu Huali.

    Jia Lian was overjoyed. He was worried about rectifying Yu Huali, the troublemaker behind the scenes, so God sent Old Man Tian and his family to his door for no reason.

    Jia Lian told the little leopard: "Go and invite Mr. Tian!"

    Little Leopard went to the open living room of Tian¡¯s house. Old man Tian¡¯s family was there, and there were seven other people, two boys, two girls, and three children.

    When Old Man Tian saw the little leopard, his face was full of shame: "It's the old man's fault for alarming the guests."

    The little leopard handed over his hand: "It's okay, our master, please lend me a step to talk!"

    Old man Tian nodded: "Excuse me, brother!"

    Jia Lian here greeted Mr. Tian, ??invited him to take a seat, and then bowed: "Please forgive me, Mr. Tian, ??for we are not just businessmen passing by, but have come to see you, a veteran farmer."

    Mr. Tian was busy returning the gift: "Could it be the county magistrate in person."

    Jia Lian pushed Jia Yun forward: "This is the magistrate of Shuntai County."

    Mr. Tian was so happy that he picked up a county magistrate. What a blessing.

    He bowed his head and said, "I don't know if I'm in front of you, but I'm being rude."

    Jia Yun smiled and raised her hand: "Old man, please rise. It's me, Meng Lang."

    Mr. Tian stood up and bowed respectfully: "Unknown, what do you want me to do in exchange for this old man?"

    Jia Lian said: "Our great-grandfather would like to know why your family is shouting in the middle of the night? But are you encountering difficulties? If there are any difficulties that cannot be solved, please feel free to ask. Maybe our great-grandfather can help you share some of the trouble."

    Hearing this, Mr. Tian sighed: "It's not that I don't know how to praise, it's really because I'm afraid of injuring my master. This matter has a big background"

    Jia Lian said: "Maybe the old man doesn't know. Our great-grandfather has a good background. As you know, he is our great-uncle, and the emperor can speak to him."

    Old man Tian was shocked when he heard this: "Is this Mr. Wang who once served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang?"

    Jia Lian nodded: "Exactly!"

    Mr. Tian knelt down again and told how his family suffered a disaster, how they were robbed by the Wang family, how he went to the county government to argue, how the county magistrate was partial, etc.  "

    Finally, the old man also told a new story. The old man was engaged to be engaged, but later the betrothed met the son of the Wang family and regretted the engagement.

    Jia Lian exclaimed: "The Wang family is an internal agent of the Japanese pirates. Your family has a grudge against the Wang family. Wasn't the robbery of the building planned by the Wang family?"

    Mr. Tian nodded: "I didn't think so at first. Only when I learned about the Wang family's heel in May did I realize that all my family members were implicated by me. I really hate it when I think of this."  , her family wanted to marry someone else, and I didn¡¯t stop her, but who knew they would actually do this."

    Jia Lian immediately figured out the key point: "You once said that someone gave you advice. Could it be that that person is related to the Wang family?"

    Mr. Tian nodded and showed a smile: "But it is my betrothed cousin, who is now my father-in-law. Speaking of which, I have to thank the governor for his kindness. If the Wang family's matter happened last year, the little old man  The whole family is also involved.¡±

    Jia Lian was shocked. It seemed that the original order to kill his relatives was a bit harsh.  However, there is no way to use heavy codes in troubled times.  Suddenly remembering his intention, he asked, "Why did that family come that I haven't asked yet?"

    Mr. Tian also talked about the second wife of the chief envoy who was born in the Wang family: "It's not that the little old man is ruthless. Firstly, he doesn't dare to harbor the Japanese family members. Secondly, speaking of it, the Wang family is the little old man's extermination.  Although I can't avenge my enemy, I can't help him commit evil and protect his enemy."

    Jia Lian smiled when he heard this: "As long as my father-in-law is willing, the hatred of destroying the family may not be unavoidable!"

    When Mr. Tian was young, he ran on sea ships and had some knowledge. Hearing Jia Lian's words here, he knelt down with a pop and kowtowed three times: "If I can help the little old man to avenge his family's destruction, Mr. Tian  , Grandma and my family are willing to serve the master as slaves and maids!"

    Jia Yun wanted to reveal Jia Lian's identity, but was stopped by Jia Lian.

    Because Jia Lian is ready to let the prince free his face to fight Yu Huali.  Because Yu Huali falsely accused Jia Lian, if Jia Lian came forward, the new emperor would definitely think that Jia Lian was avenging his personal revenge.

    Jia Yun said: "If I want to redress my grievances, I am willing to introduce Mr. Wang to you. However, for now, we should stabilize those few people. Tomorrow, when your sweet potatoes are dug, if the yield of a certain acre is indeed three thousand kilograms,  You will go with me to the county government office to exchange planting experience with other farmers. At that time, I will use the pretext of celebrating the victory and invite Mr. Wang to come. You will always report at the celebration banquet that the chief envoy Yu Huali is harboring Japanese criminals."

    " Mr. Tian has some knowledge, and he hesitated: "As far as I know, once the report is successful, the officials handling the case will also be implicated. Mr"

    Jia Yun waved her hand: "Don't worry, the official handling the case was deceived at the beginning and did not accept the property. He deliberately indulged himself. It was Yu Huali who connived with his family members to 'kill the white duck'. He committed the crime knowingly and intentionally, and his crime was increased to one level."

    Old man Tian bowed and saluted: "Everything depends on the master!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Come here, you will always report at the celebration banquet that the chief envoy Yu Huali is harboring Japanese criminals.  "
