Poor family mother and son

Chapter 24 Guess It Right

The voice of this brother who would rather die than submit has changed: "You guys already knew?"

Chu Qing smiled: "What do you think?"

"Impossible! How could you know! Impossible!" Brother Ning Si Bu Yi yelled.

"Sister-in-law Yuan, how do you know?" Zhang Mingyu was also confused, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, I just cheated him and guessed." Chu Qing also replied in a low voice: "I heard from your sister that your village raises money to do business with Dong Lun, um, iron products or something. I guess , Dong Lun should want to forge weapons, then they must be short of iron. But, judging by the reaction, I guessed it right!"

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" Brother Ning Si Bu Qu yelled in panic, as if as long as his voice was loud enough, he could erase the clear guess.

Although the villagers watching from a distance couldn't hear their conversation clearly, the shouts made them guess clearly what seemed to be the interrogation.The village chiefs who were relatively closer looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Chu Qing could make progress while they had no results.

Village head Zhang found it even more unbelievable, but he had to be convinced.

He asked his sister in a low voice: "Why do you always have trouble with that woman?"

"Didn't I complain about our Hao'er! Our Hao'er hasn't had enough to eat these days and has lost weight!" San Pang's family was confident.

"Didn't I tell you that our family doesn't take advantage of this?" Village head Zhang was a little angry: "In the past, Hao'er took advantage of it, and it was regarded as a competition between children. We adults can just turn a blind eye. Close your eyes and don't participate. But this matter is clearly stated on the table, we just took the food expenses of other people's family! I am the village head, how do you want me to behave!"

"Then, isn't that troublesome surnamed Yuan? Can others know if she doesn't tell me!" San Pang's family muttered.

"Fart! Do you think others don't know? You didn't hear what Village Chief Li said that day. If you heard it, you would be ashamed to death! He was trying to save me, and he didn't reveal it in person!" Village Chief Zhang wanted to growl , The suppressed scolding made his big neck muscles twitch.

"Listen to me!" Village Chief Zhang taught his younger sister angrily, "Don't cause trouble for me! You are no match for that bitch! She dares to kill people! Stay away from me in the future. When you see her, take a detour! Also, do you think your mother-in-law is blind? She doesn’t know what virtue you have? Today you actually forced him to face me in front of three villagers. She is really my good sister!"

If it wasn't for his own sister, Village Chief Zhang would have wanted to shake his fist.

The fat ladies of San Pang's family suddenly remembered that the bamboo pipe that stabbed the rogues to death had once reached their own necks.Just shivered, and the flesh all over his body trembled.

Here, Chu Qing waited for Brother Ning Shi Bu Qu to stop screaming, and then said slowly: "I can continue to guess, this iron mine, maybe it's in the mountains near us, isn't it?"

Brother Ning Die Than Surrender's complexion turned gray.

Chu Qing turned and walked towards Mr. Xie: "Sir, take a step to speak."

Chu Qing took Mr. Xie away from the crowd, informed the result just now, and suggested: "Now we can hand them over to the county government."

Chu Qing thought for a while and then suggested: "It's best to let Village Chief Wu and Wu Dalang take the wounded in the village to escort them personally, and tell more about the losses in our village."

Mr. Xie smiled: "I will go with them personally. Song Tingshan, the magistrate of Jizhou, is my student. Xu Guangze, the magistrate of Xingtang County, is Song Tingshan's brother-in-law. With me, the credit and rewards will not be swallowed."

Wow!Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie has a strong background!Chu Qing was very surprised.So it seems that 3 horses and 6 knives are just a trifle?

If someone takes over, this matter is clear and will not be bothered anymore.What needs to be done now is: [-]. Rehabilitation; [-]. Strengthening the body.

What happened this time made Chu Qing deeply realize how difficult it is to survive in troubled times.

More important than food and clothing, at least have the ability to save lives.

Thinking back to the dream of the day when she first time traveled, Chu Qing's predecessor escaped from the hands of two strong women, Chu Qing felt a little more at ease.

This body is younger than myself and has strength. It is still possible to exercise and increase the chances of self-protection.

After dinner, Zhang Erni came to the school to find Chu Qing.Tell Chu Qing that the three villages will still gather at the threshing ground after breakfast tomorrow, and that the village head and the others have returned from the county government and they want to tell everyone about the county government's rewards.

Chu Qing liked this girl with an apple face. Although she said she was several years older than herself, in fact, she was a girl much younger than herself.The family is so poor, she will bring eggs for Xiaobao to eat, she is a kind woman.

Chu Qing gave her the "Spring and Autumn" and "Thousand Characters" that she had just copied.

"Sister, let me tell you what to say!" Zhang Erni's face and eye circles were red with excitement, "If this is in a bookstore in the county town, it will cost a tael of silver!"

In fact, Chu Qing was helping to copy books in the village, and Mr. Xie negotiated a price of 200 characters and [-] Wen with her, and the price for two books was less than [-] Wen.

"I thought Qiusheng of your family could use it. "Thousand Characters" can also be used by a few nephews, and it will be easier for you at home." Chu Qing is very sincere.

Women in ancient times were difficult, not to mention in society, even in their own homes, family status all depended on the influence of their husbands in the family.Her husband is not at home, and the children rely on the family's income to support their education. It is really not easy.

"Sister..." Zhang Erni choked up.Chu Qing patted her on the shoulder and was about to comfort her when there was a knock on the door.

In fact, the door was open, but Zhang Mingyu knocked anyway.In fact, Zhang Mingyu was also worried. He asked Chu Qing for something, but he didn't expect his sister to be here.

His family did not know the identity of Xiaoqi, the Secret Service Division.At the same time, he was glad that his sister was here, otherwise the lonely men and widows would be really afraid of spreading gossip.

"That..." Zhang Mingyu reacted quite quickly, and now he just opened his mouth to make up a reason: "Sister-in-law Yuan, Mr. Xie said that tomorrow is also a holiday."

Zhang Mingyu glanced at Zhang Erni with his eyes as he spoke, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Well... Let me ask you, if you don't need to deliver the school dishes tomorrow, do you want to bring the dishes for you and Xiaobao? I originally wanted my sister to ask, I didn’t know until I went to my sister’s house that she has come to you.”

Chu Qing saw that Zhang Mingyu had something to say to him, and he didn't want Zhang Erni to be there, so he said, "Okay, I see. You came just in time, the basket you delivered food with last time is still in the kitchen, take it back .”

"Okay." Zhang Mingyu went to the kitchen, and soon came a voice asking: "Where do you put the vegetables in the basket?"

Chu Qing asked Zhang Erni to look after Xiaobao and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Mingyu was waiting for her. Seeing her coming, he immediately whispered: "I reported today's matter to Mr. Bai. He asked me to give this to you. If you don't understand anything, I will pass it on to you when I deliver the food later." Give him the note."

After Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Erni left, Chu Qing opened the envelope Zhang Mingyu brought.There is a map inside.

The map, which is invisible to ordinary people.

In ancient times, this was called "map", which symbolized the actual control area of ​​the imperial power, and it was a confidential thing.

For example, why the Jiuding, which symbolizes the highest power in the Central Plains, is regarded as the most important weapon of the country. One of the reasons is that there is a map of China on the Jiuding.

Smart businessmen will draw some simple regional maps, but national maps are not accessible to ordinary people.

The one in Chu Qing's hand can already be considered relatively comprehensive.It not only shows the locations and shapes of the three countries that Mr. Xie made schematically during the day, but also marks the general terrain and some areas outside the borders.

Chu Qing saw the locations of the state capitals of the Daxuan Kingdom on this map, and also learned that in the southwest of the Daxuan Kingdom, there is an ocean outside most of the gourd belly, and there are sporadic islands recorded on it.On the outskirts of the country of Voss are high mountains and mountains, which cannot be seen outside due to the size of the map.At both ends of the long and narrow East Lun Kingdom, there are two small countries with very small areas.

Although the theme of Mr. Xie's speech at the threshing floor was to unite everyone, the unfinished meaning in it cannot be preached.In this era, this kind of behavior can easily be interpreted as inciting the people, creating panic, or discussing the government indiscriminately.

What Mr. Xie did today actually took a big risk.

But the common people are like this. In the era when maps were not popularized, the lack of information and the lack of freedom of speech made it impossible for them to make judgments by linking state affairs with family affairs.Most of them only focus on personal gains and losses.

Yesterday's bandit invasion, together with the lesson at the threshing ground today, gave the villagers a better understanding of the current situation and a deeper understanding of unity.

Besides the map, there is also a note from Bai Hua: What happened yesterday has been reported to the secret investigation department.

Do you report it or not and tell me what to do!Chu Qing felt troubled again.

Affected by novels and TV dramas, she doesn't quite accept her connection with Secret Detective Division.I always feel that intelligence workers in ancient times were very dark and their hearts were distorted.
