The other party ignored the boiling heat of the millet porridge and drank it in a daze.

Putting the bowl on the stool next to him, he stood up and limped to Ning Daguang and knelt down in front of Ning Daguang. At Ning Dayou's signal, the family had already gone out with their things and closed the door, leaving space for them. .

"I haven't asked about your identity yet." The other party did not directly express his grievances, but asked first.

Ning Daguang solemnly introduced: "I am a student of the Emperor's School and an intern in Taixi County, Ning Dongyu."

Ning Dayou also said: "Ning Dayou, the government official of Taixi County."

The other party asked again: "Are you a fellow countryman of Lord Ning, a high official in the imperial court?"

Ning Daguang said: "Exactly."

The other party couldn't hold back his emotions any longer, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's unjust! Lord Ning, please help us make the decision, we are almost dying! Lord Ning, please make the decision!"

Only then did Ning Daguang see clearly that the other person seemed to have only one arm. No wonder he looked a little awkward at that time.

He hurriedly helped the other person up, "Get up quickly. Let's talk clearly about anything first. If you are really wronged, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"So that you may know, I am the head of Wuli Village in Chang County, Yuzhou. Our village is dying!"

After hearing what the other party said, Ning Daguang's heart lit up with fire.

The villagers in Wuli Village were forced to sell their sons and daughters. The local officials colluded and continuously arranged corvee labor for them during the busy farming season, asking them to work for free for the wealthy gentry. During last year's autumn harvest, they were forced to sign contracts because the grain they collected was not up to standard. After a series of unequal debts, Cao Beihai, the village chief of Wuli Village, was assigned from the Veteran Cadre School. He led the villagers to resist continuously. At first, it was somewhat effective, but later the officials became more and more excessive.

He wanted to appeal to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate slapped him a few times and drove them away. He thought that the county magistrate would ignore him and went to sue a bigger official. When he wanted to go out, he found that they were under control. Their village was not allowed to leave Chang County at all.

The incident in Wuli Village was quite big, and several people even died because of the conflict. If the people above really wanted to take care of it, it was impossible for them to not know about it at all. Cao Beihai had been to the cadre school, and he also knew a little bit about Wanwan inside. Daodao gave up the idea of ​​asking for help.

He thought of Taizhou Taixi County next door. After all the hardships and at the cost of a leg injury, he fled to Taixi County. When he was about to enter the city, he found that there were people guarding him. After asking around, he chose to find Ning Changrong. He asked for help, but he couldn't contact Ning Changrong, so he wanted to ask for help through Ning Changrong's fellow villagers.

Village Chief Ning was his chosen target, but there were people following Village Chief Ning when he came in and out, so he couldn't get close at all.

The appearance of Ning Daguang made him overjoyed. He kept guarding the area and finally took the opportunity to see Ning Daguang before he died.

The other party suddenly kowtowed heavily to Ning Daguang, "Please, sir, you must make the decision for us villagers in Wuli Village!"

Ning Dayou's face was also a little complicated and sympathetic, thinking of the past when he was bullied when he was a commoner in Shengdou.

"Daguang, what do you decide to do?"

Ning Daguang took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I must sue them! Lawlessness, simply lawlessness! How long has it been since there was a native emperor!? According to this statement, the country has not yet been founded. They were so rampant before! Uncle Ning told me before I came here that as long as I have a clear conscience, I can just go ahead and do it, but I must take care of this matter to the end!"

After hearing this, the other party thanked him profusely, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Ning Daguang quickly supported the other party, "This old man, if you continue to kowtow, you will disgrace me. If you don't serve the people as an official, why should you be an official? What happened to me has already made me feel guilty and uneasy. Where can I be?" I deserve your gratitude." The other party is still a retired veteran. How heartbreaking would it be if other people knew about it?
"This matter is none of your business, it was clearly done by those bastards and beasts." Cao Beihai said quickly.

While Ning Daguang was talking to Cao Beihai, Ning Dayou winked at Ning Daguang.

After Ning Daguang received it, he comforted Cao Beihai, and the two came to discuss outside the room. "You can't control this matter." Ning Dayou said bluntly.

Ning Daguang stood upright, like a birch tree swaying in the wind. No matter how windy or rainy you were, I remained unmoved.

"I know, but I will definitely find out. Although I tend to believe Cao Beihai on this matter, I can't just listen to his family's words."

Ning Dayou's expression relaxed a lot, "That's good. I'm afraid that you are young and immature and act impulsively. I have understood the situation in the past few years as a county government. Different people say different words. Meaning, the most taboo thing is to listen and believe."

Ning Daguang said, "Don't worry, Uncle Dayou, I know the severity."

"Then what are you going to do? You can't go to Chang County, how can you check the situation there?"

"Uncle Dayou, have you forgotten?" Ning Daguang said: "I can't go to Chang County, but there are also my classmates in Chang County. I will write a letter to trust them to help investigate."

Ning Dayou hesitated, "Is it reliable?"

Ning Daguang's eyes were full of affirmation, "If it were anyone else, I might not be worried. The person who went to Chang County is a classmate and friend of mine. I know his character very well, and he is most upright."

"Okay, then you go check it out first. Do you want me to ask the county magistrate for help? For Changrong's sake, he will probably help."

Ning Daguang hurriedly refused, "Don't, Uncle Dayou," he reminded: "Don't spread today's events to other people's ears. As long as you and I know about it."

"If the other side really follows what Cao Beihai said, then there is definitely something wrong with their county magistrate. Even the local governor can't escape the connection. Although our Taixi County is a bit far away, it's impossible not to hear any sound."

Ning Dayou's face suddenly turned ugly, "Are you saying that the county magistrate might also know about this?"

Ning Daguang said, "It cannot be ruled out, at least not for now."

……

County government.

"Sir, this is a gift from the magistrate of Chang County." The county lieutenant brought a box to him.

Magistrate Taixi frowned and said, "Go back. Now that I have accepted his gift, who knows what demands he will make tomorrow. We can't leave the matter in the hands of others. Let's not get involved in the bad things they do."

The county captain also nodded in agreement, "Your Excellency is right, I will go back later. I don't know if they are looking for someone these days. The Nanchang County Magistrate has sent many people to our city in civilian clothes. Watch everywhere."

The county magistrate frowned and asked: "What do they want to do? They are not hindering the people in the city, are they?"

"That's not true. It's just that the official noticed that they seemed to pay more attention to Mr. Ning's fellow countrymen."

The people in the county suddenly stood up, "Are they going to attack Master Ning's fellow countrymen?!"

The county captain hurriedly reassured, "Sir, you don't need to be so worried. I have sent many people to watch them in the past few days. They don't want to attack Lord Ning's fellow villagers, but I don't know why, but they seem to be monitoring the relationship with Lord Ning." People who travel from the same hometown."
