My old attack is the snake king

Chapter 75

In the afternoon, Jiang Chu went to the inn and took the workers to Xiaotian Village, and finally arrived at the last household. He didn't know what bloody storm would happen to this household, and the mayor didn't tell him in detail.

The head of Xiaotian Village is different from the other two village heads. He wears cleaner clothes, his face is full of oil, and his waist is as thick as a bucket. He looks richer.

This village is relatively large, and most of the residents are brick houses. Looking at the endless fields beside the village, Jiang Chu felt that this village was much richer than the other two villages.

"Young Master Xiao, I heard that we can go back to the city after finishing our Tian Xiaojia."

Jiang Chu smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes." So I hope this household doesn't make any fools.

The people in this village were cleanly dressed and hospitable. Most of them greeted Jiang Chu and the others to come in and rest. Compared with the previous two villages, they were not as depressed.

Jiang Chu suddenly felt relieved.

Bai Qingheng silently followed him behind him.

However, no matter where Bai Qingheng was, she would always be the focus. No, unmarried girls all poked their heads out secretly, and there were even some girls who deliberately walked past the crowd and "unintentionally" dropped their handkerchiefs.

"Girl, you dropped your handkerchief!" Jiang Chu pulled Bai Qingheng over, bent down to pick it up, and smiled at the girl who turned around pretending to be surprised.

How could he let Bai Qingheng pick it up for her, give up.

The girl seemed to have just seen Jiang Chu as the leader, and her little face turned red.

"Girl, don't drop it next time, no one will pick it up for you."

Saying that, he put the handkerchief in the girl's hand, turned and left.

After a few people walked away, the girl regained her composure and marveled that the people in the city were really good-looking.

Finally arrived at Tian Xiao's house, which turned out to be a thatched cottage, built behind a brick house, and that brick house took up all the light from the thatched cottage.

"Young Master Xiao, look at my house. The house is already crumbling. If it is not rebuilt, my parents and I will sleep on the street."

Tian Xiao came out of the thatched hut, wearing tattered clothes and messy hair, obviously not at the same level as the people in the village.

The man looked to be in his thirties and walked with a limp. It was said that he had injured his leg while farming in his early years.

His father and mother were sitting in the thatched cottage at the moment, they were sitting on the bed, when they saw people coming from the city, they warmly greeted them.

This thatched hut was small, with a pair of tables, chairs and an earthen bed. Walking into the room, Jiang Chu felt the coldness in the room. It was winter and the daylight was occupied.

However, there is a thatched cottage behind the neat brick houses just now, which seems out of place.

"Hello, I am the supervisor sent by the magistrate, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Chu started a new round of self-introduction.

"I want to ask, how many years have you lived here?"

The village chief looked at Jiang Chu puzzled, and replied: "Their ancestors are Xiaotian villagers, and of course they have lived here since birth."

Jiang Chu nodded, thoughtfully.

Then he said: "Village chief, I don't know how your village provides relief to poor households?"

The village chief obviously didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly.

As far as he knew, the first two villages were so impoverished that they didn't ask this question, but their village was a little richer, so they were able to ask this kind of question.

Is it routine?

Seemingly thinking it was possible, the village head laughed dryly: "Murakami sends five catties of rice and ten catties of vegetables to poor households every month."

Seeing that he asked questions unrelated to house repairs, Tian Xiao began to urge: "Mr. Xiao, if you want to discuss those things with the village chief, you can go outside to discuss them. We live in a thatched cottage, so you have to repair it?"

Then he said: "Or you don't need to repair it when you return to the city in a hurry, just give us the silver and let us repair it ourselves."

Tian Xiao's parents quickly agreed.

The Tian family was actually very anxious.

Jiang Chu took a look at Bai Qingheng, then looked at the thatched cottage carefully, and then said, "Do you want to build a new house?"

Several people didn't expect that he could understand what they meant, they nodded repeatedly, Tian Xiaodao: "You see we live in a dilapidated house, who knows that it will collapse one day, we have to flip over and build a new house!"

Jiang Chu hugged his chest and smiled: "Then what kind of new house do you want to build, and where will you build the new house?"

Tian Xiao began to hesitate, "We don't know what kind of new house to build yet, but you can hand over the silver taels to us, we think, this will not delay your return to the city to report to the magistrate."

"You see, it takes a long time to build a house, and it would be bad if it delays your business."

Jiang Chu saw that what Tian Xiaosi said was reasonable, he smiled and said: "If you build a new house, will you build it here?"

Tian Xiao's family nodded, and the village chief also agreed: "Young Master Xiao, you see that their family lives in a thatched cottage, and finally learned that the magistrate helped repair the house, so you can help them."

"Then how much silver do you want?"

Tian Xiaodao: "Not much, 50 taels of silver is enough."

Jiang Chu was slightly surprised, it really was the lion who opened his mouth, what luxury can 50 taels of silver make in Murakami?

"is it?"

The village head then echoed: "Young Master Xiao, 50 taels is actually not much."

Jiang Chu smiled and said, "Not many? The village chief is related to this family, so he's talking so hard?"

Seeing that Jiang Chu seemed to be joking, the village head nodded: "Oh, to be honest, Tian Xiao is my cousin, seeing how poor his family is, I can't help them." After speaking, he sighed heavily again.

Jiang Chu's smile suddenly disappeared, he turned around, grabbed Bai Qingheng and walked out, several workers saw Jiang Chu leaving, and followed him.

"Young Master Xiao, you don't want to build a house anymore?"

Tian Xiao shouted.

"I'm only in charge of repairing, not flipping, it's none of my business."

After speaking, he left.

Although Tian Xiao walks with a limp, after many years, he runs very fast, which is just a little funny.

"This is not allowed. You were sent from above. You can't do it if you don't overturn the house! Young people just don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and the magistrate's punishment can't be finished with a word."

This person had the same idea as Mrs. Liu and bullied him for being young and ignorant.

Jiang Chu bent down and leaned close to Tian Xiao's ear and whispered: "We all understand, but do you know what crime is to deceive the government?" After speaking, he glanced at his disheveled hair again.

Tian Xiao was startled, froze in place, and then asked again: "Then do you know what crime is for slandering the common people?"

Jiang Chu pulled Bai Qingheng away, followed by the five workers.

"I'm convinced, why is there such a thing?" Jiang Chu stomped his feet, and the workers didn't know what happened.

"Go back to the inn first."

When the worker returned to the inn, he chose to go to the mayor with Bai Qingheng to inquire about Xiaotian Village.

The mayor opened the booklet of poor households in Xiaotian Village, and there was only Tian Xiao's family.

Jiang Chu obviously didn't believe that Tian Xiaohui was a poor household.

People like him just cheat the money from the above, and they are still the kind of lions who open their mouths.

On the way, Jiang Chu was still upset.

"Qingheng, I'm so mad, he must be a liar, how can there be people living in thatched cottage?"

He started to complain to Bai Qingheng again.

"Their family's lighting is occupied and they can still stay in the brick house with peace of mind, but they dare to openly ask the government for money. I'm sure the brick house belongs to his family."

"In that case, let's go and verify."

Bai Qingheng looked at him with a smile.

The advantage of the old snake by his side is that they have confidence in doing things, and they can explore the truth of things together.

At night, they appeared in the thatched hut, which was empty and desolate.

Seeing this, Bai Qingheng immediately took him to the courtyard of the brick house in front, the room was brightly lit, the two began to open the window again, Tian Xiaozheng was eating with his wife, children and parents.

Sure enough, this is his house.

I could only hear the inside saying: "This young man from the city doesn't want to give money, maybe he knows something."

"Never mind him, no one in the village dares to sue, as long as we kill him and refuse to admit it, it will be fine."

Then came the sound of them wanting to deceive the government, Jiang Chu gritted his teeth, and even wanted to go in and expose their ugly faces.

But he still has a sliver of reason.

Back in the inn room, intending to rest, there was a noisy sound outside the room, and Jiang Chu opened the door.

It turned out to be Liu Gen. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Chu angrily.

"Why don't you repair the house for my family? The prefect sent people to act so capriciously. I want to sue you at the prefect."

Jiang Chu folded his arms and looked coldly at the noisy people in front of him.Behind him were four or five young men of about the same age, who seemed to be supporting Liu Gen.

But he is not afraid.

"Go, hurry up," he urged.

A few days ago, I said to file a complaint, but I haven't gone today.

"Ah, the popularity of people from the city is great, regardless of the life or death of ordinary people."

A man behind Liu Gen said.

Hearing such a mocking voice, Jiang Chu became even more speechless, pointing at Liu Gen: "Excuse me, is this person dead?"

"Who did you say died?" Liu Gen was annoyed.

"I'm not eighteen but seventeen. I have hands and feet, and I still have to rely on subsidies from the government to live. Do you think you are alive?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Gen threw his fist towards Jiang Chu's cheek angrily. Bai Qingheng directly pulled Jiang Chu to his side, and by the way, he also waved Liu Gen's fist behind him, who was the man who spoke just now.

"Ah!!!" The man cried out in pain, and a stream of blood flowed out of his nose instantly.

"Pfft!" Jiang Chu covered his mouth and laughed when he saw this.

The man shouted: "Liu Gen, are you blind?"

Liu Gen waved his hands again and again, his face was flustered: "I want to hit him!"

Bai Qingheng directly closed the door, not wanting to look at these people again.

Some human beings are really annoying, they can't even kill to cause trouble for Jiang Chu.

Seeing that the man was bleeding, several people outside the door left in a hurry.Liu Gen was even more at a loss and left.

town clinic

The man's nose stopped bleeding, and Liu Gen didn't have any money to pay for his medical expenses.

The man had to suffer from dumb losses and pay for it himself.

"Liu Gen, anyway, the prefect's mansion in Tanzhou City is only half a day away from the town, why don't you file a complaint there tomorrow!" Someone suggested.

But Liu Gen was wronged, and said: "Then you can hire a carriage for me and take me to the main city."

"What do you hire a horse-drawn cart for? Doesn't the village chief have an ox cart? Go and borrow it." You said humanely.

"Look at the beginning, although you asked him for silver taels, and you were at fault, but now it's not your fault. Look at Liu Fang's nose!"
