Chapter 179
The two stood in the shed and looked up at the bright starry sky, imagining their future life, full of expectations.

With anticipation, the days can be better and better.

only--

The next day, when Song Qingge and Xiao Jinyi were busy turning over the ground in the shed, there was a noisy sound outside the yard. When they opened the window, a group of people broke in from outside.

"Xiao Dabao, Song Qingge, Lizheng sent someone here, you come out quickly."

Song Qingge took Xiao Jinyi out, and a dozen men crowded into the shrunk yard, while Xiao Xiaocui stood at the front, shouting proudly.

"Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"

Song Qingge's face was ugly. She knew that the Xiao family would have a follow-up, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Let us go out? Song Qingge, look at them with wide-eyed eyes. These are all upright people who eat public food. Do you want to fight against the Yamen?" Xiao Xiaocui didn't have the slightest fear, and she was very airy.

The imperial power does not come down to the county, and the lowest official is Jiupin County Cheng, and for the convenience of management, there are also pavilion chiefs and Li Zheng below.

The head of the pavilion is equivalent to the head of the township, and the head of the village is equivalent to the head of the village, but some lizhengs also manage several villages, which is similar to the head of the township.

The pavilion chief and Lizheng are almost all rich local families, assisting the court in supervising taxes and so on.

Many villages are too far away from the county seat, and the emperor who is high on the mountain is far away, the Lizheng and the pavilion chief are the emperors, and they have the final say on the affairs of the village and town.

The Lizheng of Niutou Village is not in this village, but in the next-door village. Liu Xiaomi told Song Qingge that his family has a hundred acres of fertile land, which is really rich. I heard that there is a shop in the town, and there are a lot of them in the family. Servants, thugs.

It is said that a simple court was set up, and he really regarded himself as an official.

Song Qingge glanced at these people in the yard and knew their origins.

"Public food?" Song Qingge sneered, even Li Zheng and the head of the pavilion are not considered people who eat public food, what kind of shit are they?
"Why? Don't you believe it? Brother Zhang works in the yamen." Xiao Xiaocui raised her head high, her face full of satisfaction, "Brother Zhang, show her the sign, a village woman in the mountains, she has never seen the world."

After Xiao Xiaocui finished speaking, a man stood beside her. He was not tall and looked a bit fierce. He also had the same haughty face and waved a sign.

Yamen!From the county.

Song Qingge frowned, thinking about Xiao Xiaocui's purpose for coming here.

In fact, the yamen servants do not eat public food. The subsidy given by the government government is very small every year, but they are not short of money.

These people show off their power, and in mountain villages and towns, they are more powerful than officials.

The yamen servants are generally in charge of standing in the hall, and they are also responsible for collecting grain. Now this season, another year of grain collection has started. The reason why this yamen servant came to Niutou Village is probably because of this.

Song Qingge had read in books before that these yamen servants and arresters couldn't get money in the yamen, and they had to find ways to collect it by themselves, such as framing rich and powerful families, and using their positions to ask for money from the people... …

If someone refuses to give or resists, they will be tied to the yamen and locked up in a prison cell without interrogation, and they will be sentenced directly to punishment. When the other party is subdued and given money and food, it will be counted as giving up.

Hades is easy to see, but imps are hard to deal with.

Being targeted by these people is not a good day.

The Xiao family actually knew people from the yamen!
"Song Qingge, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you haven't divided your households yet, and all the money you earn should be handed over to grandma. Hurry up and take it all out now!"
