Chapter 1185 Shock

"Er Gou? Where did you go, Er Gou? Go home quickly, or the second sister will roast you." Brother Cheng searched around the end of the village. After he didn't see Er Gou, he could only run out of the end of the village and continue looking. .

When passing by the big millstone in the middle of the village, Brother Cheng was stopped by a group of women in the village: "Brother Cheng, hey, Brother Cheng, you are out. Come here quickly. Do the aunts have anything to ask you?"

When Brother Cheng heard this, Danfeng glanced at them and said as if he was endorsing: "My eldest brother has sworn a vicious oath. He will not say goodbye until he is admitted to the imperial examination."

So youd better give up on this idea and stop saying that my eldest brother is a good match for your nieces and nephews. Youre tired of hearing it.

Who knew that the woman in the village had changed her tactics and ran over to grab his arm and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The village chief has taught us a lesson, how could we still try to take advantage of your elder brother? Aunts are I want to ask you, when does your cousin plan to propose marriage? You have to say it quickly, otherwise you will be too old."

Brother Cheng continued to endorse: "Cousin Ming made an even more vicious oath, saying that he would not marry her until he was admitted to the Juren Examination."

As he spoke, he calmly withdrew his grabbed arm.

The woman was very upset after hearing this: "What's going on in your family? In addition to reporting to the official, why do you also like to swear poison?"

Aren't you afraid that if it comes true, you will be struck to death by lightning?

"Mother Axe, don't ask him. This guy is just a nerd. What does he know? If you want to know, why not spend five cents to ask Gu Dewang? That guy knows a lot and loves to sell information." He As Yanshou's mother spoke, her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey, Gu Dewang is almost thirteen. Hey, he's a young man now and can marry a wife! His family is getting richer and richer, my cousin. He is still a scholar, if anyone can marry Gu Dewang, that would be great too."

Brother Cheng:

Well, your minds have changed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, you have set your sights on Wang Geer, but can you win? Brother Wang is so shrewd, aren't you afraid of being tricked by him?

Brother Cheng ignored them and continued to look for Ergouzi, finally finding him in the big kitchen of the workshop house.

"Er Gouzi, you are so worthless. The big dog goes to hunt rabbits, but you come here to steal meat. Isn't it embarrassing? You are a wolf, not a dog." Brother Cheng picked up Er Gouzi. , go find Gu Dashan, wait for Gu Dashan to finish his work, and follow him home.

Old man Yang was speechless because of the rebuke, but he picked up the food very quickly and didn't delay his meal at all.

Mr. Ouyang laughed so hard when he saw this. The peasants looked vulgar, but it was extremely interesting.

Why are you laughing? Eat quickly. If you just smile, will the food go into your mouth? Old Yang glared at Mr. Ouyang, and then continued to eat.

After hearing this, Mr. Ouyang imitated them and ate the food quickly, and he was quite happy with it.

Other villagers who came to eat the flowing water banquet were also very happy. Not only did they have a full meal full of meat and vegetables, but they also received a box of untouched meat and vegetables before leaving. They were very happy.

However, they were only happy for one day. The next day, something happened that made them cry loudly.

Magistrate Zheng came back and sent officials and clerks to the village to tell them about the tax increase.

After hearing this, the villagers were all shocked: "What? Not only will the grain tax and poll tax be doubled, but we will also have to pay the war tax, and we will have to pay one tael of silver. Hey, this is going to cost us our lives." , we have so much money for you!

Because the Emperor of Chu wants to raise taxes, the whole Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Zhili and other places are in chaos. The farmers are crying and crying, saying that they have no money, but the government can't do anything. This is the order of the Emperor himself. Order.

When Gu Jinli heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost went crazy. Is Emperor Chu crazy? Are you crazy? If he wasn't crazy, how could a normal person do such a thing?

Each person who resists the military tax costs one tael of silver. Does the emperor think that everyone in Chu is worth a hundred taels of silver?

She immediately found Gu Jinan: "Brother, go talk to Mr. Ouyang and see if he can unite the noble families in the capital to get the emperor to take back his life? Otherwise, there will be a river of blood."

Gu Jinan's face was dark, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a moment, he said: "Look after your home, I will go find Mr. Ouyang immediately."

He did not take the mule cart, but asked Luowu to borrow a horse and rode to the town.

Ouyang Ming also heard about this and was discussing with Mr. Ouyang what to do?
