Chapter 283

Xu Qing put the child on the Kang, went into the space and milked with a wooden bucket, and finally came out with a bowl of warm milk.

Xu Qing picked up the baby and went to the table to feed him milk. He used small spoons to feed him one by one.

Little guy looks only two months bigger than little dragonfly, but no little Dragonfly looks white and fat, and its voice is small.

The little guy looked at Xu Qing with a pair of eyes and ate sweetly.

After eating more than half of a bowl of milk, Xu Qing picked him up and patted him on the back. After two hiccups, Xu Qing fed him some more until he didn't want to eat.

Taking the bowl and spoon into the space, Xu Qing went out with the child in his arms.

When the woman took over the baby, she smelled a smell of milk, red eyes, and gratefully thanks to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing said: "in the evening, you can take the baby and feed it again."

The woman quickly nodded: "OK, OK."

After the woman left, Li Jinmei asked Xu Qing, "are you ok? Feed the two children Don't force it

Xu Qing waved his hand: "it's not in the way."

Qingfeng town.

As soon as Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang enter the town, they feel an unusual atmosphere. The owners and clerks of the shops on both sides seem normal, but their eyes unconsciously show some calculation and malice.

"My guest, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"My guest, where are you going? Have a meal? "

"My guest, where are you from?"

Surrounded by several guys, Li Changting said calmly: "I used to be from Qingfeng town. I just went home to have a look. Who are you? How come I've never seen it before? "

A few guys listen, one of them said with a smile: "we are also new here to open a shop to do business, the original those people did not come back, but we are regular shops, there are yamen can testify."

"All right, let's go home first and come back for dinner later." Li Changting returned.

"Yes, please. Take your time."

Li Chang ting and Duan Mu Xiang walked all the way to Qingfeng town. After walking around the town, they found that there were seven or eight shops in the main street of Qingfeng town, and other places were still deserted.

They found that they had been followed all the way, but they didn't care. They turned to Yamen.

"Where on earth are you from, and why are you wandering around town all the time?" The constable asked warily and with a bad face.

Li Changting showed his gold medal: "I want to see the county magistrate."

The captor first blinked at the big piece of gold, and then squinted to see the words clearly. He didn't react for a moment. After a while, he suddenly said, "Oh, it's the adults from above. Oh, the little one has eyes and doesn't know the mountain. I'm offended! You two, please come inside. I'll call the county magistrate. "

Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang went in. Duanmu Xiang said with a low smile, "this reaction is a bit strange."

Soon, a man in an official uniform with a long beard came out, saw Li Changting and Duanmu ring, and quickly bowed.

"I'm sorry to hear from you. Please forgive me."

Li Changting felt that the person in front of him was familiar. He frowned and looked at him for a long time, only to find that he was really the magistrate of Qingfeng town, just a "shrunken" magistrate.

Before the magistrate was originally a fat man, thin into this appearance, Li Changting almost did not recognize.

Li Changting didn't do anything wrong and said directly, "why didn't you report to the court after you came back? Who gives you the power to collect three times the taxes of the people? "

On hearing this, the county magistrate quickly explained, "I have submitted the documents to the imperial court, but the imperial court has no intention to collect taxes because there is no food in the granary. The whole yamen has to eat, and the officials have no choice. I still leave a lot of food for the people."

Li Changting's voice was slightly cold: "who said that there was no will? The imperial court stipulated that the government offices in other places should be abolished except for the state cities and designated towns, and the officials of the government offices should also go to the state cities to be reassigned. The news has spread all over DAHAO. Don't you know?"

The magistrate arched his hand and said with a smile: "I really don't know..."

In this way, the Yamen of Qingfeng town has been removed by the imperial court, and his county magistrate is no longer in charge?!

Li Changting: "now you know, I'm going to seal this Yamen and limit you an hour to move out."

The magistrate panicked: "this This... "

Li Changting: "what is this?"

The county magistrate turned his eyes and bowed his head helplessly: "I'll move out."

After the magistrate left, Duanmu ring swept around and said in a low voice, "there are about 30 people. Kill them or put them down?"

"The leader killed the others Just keep a few that work. "

As soon as Li Changting's voice fell, a group of people rushed in with weapons,

within a moment, a large number of people fell around Li Changting and duanmusheng. The county magistrate not far away quietly hid behind the pillar. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned and ran. As a result, he was hit in the back of his head by a flying dart and fell down with a bang.Li Changting and duanmuxiang kill the three leaders, and the remaining ten minions see that they are good at martial arts. They want to escape, but duanmuxiang blocks their way back.

"Spare your life, my Lord!"

The minions quickly lost their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"My Lord, we just robbed some things and never killed anyone!"

"It's all done at the instigation of the county magistrate!"

"Please spare your life, we don't dare any more!"

Li Changting asked some questions, and soon found out the origin of these people and the current situation of Qingfeng town.

These people are a group of bandits. They have been robbing for a living. Recently, the imperial court has been strict with the investigation. They disguised themselves as ordinary people and occupied this area to exploit the people.

Some people in Qingfeng town had come back, but they were scared away by the bandits. Even the peddlers did not dare to go this way.

After inquiring about the situation, Xu Qing asked if they had seen a woman surnamed Xiao come back. As a result, the group said they had never seen a woman come to Qingfeng town.

When Li Changting saw that they didn't seem to be lying, he gave them a chance to commit crimes.

"Which villages did you go to collect taxes?"

One by one, these people want to perform well and rush to reply: "Liujia village, buffalo village, Sifang village, Changxi village, these four villages."

Li Changting asked about the situation of these four villages. It happened that the other three villages were similar to Changxi village. They planted some grain and barely had enough to eat. Among them, there were a little more people in Sifang village, nearly 100 people. "

"Sifang village used to be a wine village, but it also used underground river water to make wine. During the drought, it hid under the ground. The county master took the last two jars of wine there half a month ago, and it was in the house of the county master."
