Starting from Orion, kill a Martial Saint

Chapter 54 Xiaotang Village (Thanks to book friend Feng Shengcun for two monthly passes!)
"It turns out to be Mr. Wei! He is indeed very handsome!"

At the entrance of the village, under the stunned and envious eyes of the villagers, the originally aloof official actually saluted Wei Zheng in front of him with a respectful look.

"Sir, it's really hard work. You have to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you have to come to Xiaotang Village so far away. You can really be called a parent officer."

Wei Zheng smiled softly and took out two shiny silver ingots from his pocket.

"But you can see it now, sir. This little Tang Village is so poor that nothing can be collected. Keep these silver coins first. You can't let your trip go in vain."

Looking at the white money, the clerk's eyes widened. With so much money, he could plunder the poor man's harvest for a month, how could he not be happy?
"Then I would be disrespectful." The clerk laughed loudly and waved to the followers behind him. "Xiaotang Village is so poor, why should we accept it? Let's go!"

Hearing one or two words from Wei Zheng actually made these small officials who came with a mission call for gold and withdraw their troops. These villagers, even if they were usually talkative, were as dumb as chickens at this time. .

The women in the village, who were dressed in coarse linen clothes, stared closely at Bai Ling'er, who had fair skin and wore a light green skirt. She seemed to be dignified and quiet.

A few months ago, Bai Ling'er was just like them, chopping firewood and doing laundry in the village, but now when she saw her, she turned into a noble lady!

This almost made them cry with envy.

Why aren’t the men in my family so useful?

There were even a few good-looking village girls with eyes rolling around, not knowing what they were thinking.

Wei Zheng was also filled with emotion.

Just one word, and a little money that he didn't like, actually decided the fate of a villager like this?

He knew in his heart that after harvesting this amount of grain, many people in the village were afraid that they would have to borrow money to survive the winter.

No wonder power is the best spring bite...
Just when a few clerks were saying auspicious words and packing their things to get out, Wei Zheng's eyes scanned the crowd, his pupils narrowed slightly.

Wei Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Hey, sir, I suddenly remembered that this village is not that poor."

After saying that, Wei Zheng pointed at an old woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth among the crowd, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth like a cat playing with a mouse.

As for the old woman, when she looked into Wei Zheng's eyes, her wrinkled face became panicked, she turned around and wanted to run away from the crowd.

However, Wei Zheng did not give her a chance to escape.

"Matchmaker Li in our village, I heard that she still has a lot of surplus food at home."

"Oh?" The clerk has been immersed in the bottom class for many years, but he still can't figure out what this means?He nodded knowingly, and his face instantly turned serious.

"Young Master Wei said that! I just remembered that during the autumn tax season last year, Matchmaker Li didn't pay it for an excuse! Plus the penalty and interest will be paid together!"

After saying that, several petty officials swarmed up and held down the frightened Matchmaker Li, then led the way to her house and started searching around.

The sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks was heard, and even the food that Matchmaker Li kept for the winter, a spindle of money, and even the door frame of the house were torn down.

Wei Zheng sneered in his heart when he saw Matchmaker Li slumped on the ground, crying loudly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to beg him to spare her.

This beast, doesn't he know that she and Zhao Qi want to harm Bai Ling'er?

I have never taken the time to play with her, so I didn't expect that she would dare to appear in Xiaotang Village?

court death!

If you don't leave any food for her, look how she will starve to death here this winter!
Seeing that his actions, rolling around, and begging for mercy and kowtowing were in vain, Matchmaker Li stared at Wei Zheng with her triangular eyes filled with resentment, and her voice became as sharp as a rooster's crow.

"Master! I'll expose it! The one who killed Niu Er was Wei Zheng! And! Liu Tao and his son also died at the hands of Wei Zheng! He was a murderer! He was a murderer!"

The clerk looked sideways at Wei Zheng and blinked. "real?"

"Of course it's fake." Wei Zheng laughed.

"Damn it, this old scoundrel dares to file a false official report!" The clerk sneered, then took out the iron ruler from his waist and slapped Mrs. Li's mouth hard!
Snapped!Amid the crisp sound, Mrs. Li's mouth visibly swelled.

"Brother Wei, it stands to reason that slandering others, according to our laws, requires thirty years of fighting, but this wife... Hehe, I'm afraid she will return to the West if she can't win three times. Brother Wei, if I can trust you, I will be on my own." Deal with it.”

The clerk smiled and held up his hands to Wei Zheng, then led a few brothers and walked out of the village carrying rice, noodles, pots and bowls.

They still had to have a good meal while the Juxiang Tower was open. An old woman would not lose any money in exchange for her friendship with Master Wei.

"Chen Sheng." After sending away several petty officials, Wei Zheng casually summoned Chen Sheng from the crowd.

After a month of training, this kid's injuries have healed to a great extent.

At this moment, Chen Sheng's admiration for Wei Zheng had reached its peak.

My eldest brother is so majestic!
Even these little officials who eat people without spitting out their bones can be dealt with!

When will I become so majestic?
"Brother Wei, leave that mother-in-law to me." Chen Sheng glanced at Mother Li on the ground, her eyes already seemed to be looking at a dead person.

"By the way, why isn't Uncle Biao here?" Wei Zheng glanced around and didn't even see Uncle Biao.

Logically speaking, if he knew he was coming, Uncle Biao should have been here long ago, right?

"Hey, Uncle Biao went to the mountains to collect herbs a few days ago. He fell down and his legs are still lame now."

Chen Sheng scratched his head.

Wei Zheng soon followed his memory and came to the earthen house of Uncle Biao's house.

A large number of villagers followed behind, and a group of women surrounded Bai Ling'er. They all praised Bai Ling'er for being so lucky and beautiful. Some even asked Wei Zheng if he wanted to take a concubine now. Even if you don't accept it, you can just accept a slave!
Pushing open the wooden door, what hits your face is the strong smell of medicine.

Uncle Biao was lying on the dirt bed coughing, his dark old face grimacing in pain.

Aunt Li looked haggard and was sitting by the bed, feeding Uncle Biao some decoction.

Seeing Wei Zheng coming over, Uncle Biao first had a look of disbelief on his face, and then as if he had reacted, he braced himself and tried to get up to pick up the guests, but was held down by Wei Zheng who rushed over.

"Hey, it's nothing big. I just broke my leg. This guy Chen Sheng carried me to the hospital on his back!"

"Well, the legs are broken, so it's not a big deal." Wei Zheng couldn't laugh or cry. He lifted the quilt and accurately touched the location of the broken bone, his expression became a little unhappy.

"Since you have gone to the county to find a medical center, why don't you come to me?"

"You bitch!" Uncle Biao lost his temper in a rare moment and pushed the bowl of soup and medicine away from Aunt Li's hand.

"Did you tell Zhengzi!? I told you! Don't bother Zhengzi! You just don't listen!"

"Look at it, Zhengzi, your Uncle Biao has such a bad temper. Where can I tell Zhengzi?"

Aunt Li looked aggrieved.

Wei Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Aunt Li.

"Auntie, what's going on? Could it be that Uncle Biao's injury was caused by someone?"
