As the official of Zhoujia Village, Zhou Laozhang has never seen a few officials throughout the year. Wei Chengshi was the largest official he had ever met in his life. In addition to doing his best to meet the other party's requirements, he did not dare to neglect the yamen runners around him.

But at this time, Mr. Zhou looked at the four yamen runners rolling all over the ground, and his heart was already filled with storms, not to mention the hundreds of ordinary farmers behind him.

"Miss Shangguan, hurry up and stop Qingyan. The one he injured was the official. If Wei was injured again, the prefect would definitely send troops to arrest you." Seeing that Shangguan Feiyan was unmoved, Mr. Zhou was anxious to break free.

But Shangguan Feiyan's soft and erotic seemed to be as heavy as a tremendous amount, "Brother-in-law, since he has taken action, there is no room for maneuver, and you and I can't persuade you."

"Qingyan has always been respectful to the old couple, and he is obviously a good child. Why did he suddenly become like this? If he continues like this, he will be beheaded." Mr. Zhou murmured to himself.

Shangguan Feiyan sighed, "Not to mention the soldiers of Qushui County, he would not frown even in front of the formation of thousands of horses and thousands of troops. If you want to blame, you can only blame the other party for insulting the Huangqi of the Northern Mansion."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he was even more confused. He thought he had heard it wrong. He wanted to ask more details but found that Qingyan had already walked in front of Wei Congshi.

"I can't understand why I'm standing there! Hurry up and take down this thief!" Wei Chengshi could no longer bear the pressure, and his fat body quickly retreated, but he didn't notice the stone behind him and fell to the ground.

"Get back and tell the prefect of Qushui County to let him come and pick up people in person. Remember, I will only give you an hour." Qingyan threw out a black object without looking back.

One of the more courageous yamen runners took him into his hand and saw an iron plate as big as a palm, with a large character [Yan] engraved on the front. After turning it over, I found that there were two characters left.

【side by side】

Although the yamen runners have never seen much, they also know that only one place in Nanzhao and even the whole world deserves these two words. They think that the other party is a man in the royal palace side by side, so they dare not neglect at all. They salute deeply and run around the way.

Although the other yamen runners didn't know the secret of the iron plate when they saw this, they wanted to leave together from the bottom of their hearts. However, Wei was engaged in the other party's hands, and if he left like this, he would definitely settle the score later.

At this time, Qingyan suddenly smashed the back of the axe at Wei Chengshi's chin, and then a tragic wail resounded throughout the fields.

"If you don't get out, this is your end."

The other yamen runners dared not hesitate anymore and ran towards the way they came.

Wei's hands covering his lips were covered with blood, and there was probably not much of the teeth left in his mouth.

"The Huangqi, the Northern Palace, are all warriors who have been fought against each other under the King's command. Every soldier killed countless Hu dogs in his hands, and tasted the enemy's blood to wash his weapons. Even if they mysteriously disappeared for twenty years, how could you, the dog, be humiliated?"

Another axe hit Wei, engaged in the painful conditioned reflex, and his hands were opened, revealing his bloody mouth.

"But feel the pain? Then you might as well ask Mr. Zhou, his two sons disappeared without a title, whether they were dead or alive, or whether they felt his heart hurt?"

When Old Zhou and his wife heard Qingyan's words, their eyes were rosy in an instant, and they forced themselves to prevent tears from falling.

In addition to the severe pain in his mouth, Wei's intestines had already regretted Qing, and used all his strength to turn over and crawl towards Mr. Zhou.

How could Zhiqingyan ask him to kick back, "I want to kowtow now? It's too late!"

"No matter which army my soldiers in Nanzhao are, they are good men who stand upright. Their blood-filled defense line is to protect the people's people's lives and work in peace, rather than letting you take away the fat and nourish the people's fat."

With his hand raised his axe, Wei's right palm no longer belonged to his arm.

The gushing blood dyed the blue-hot Mai's clothes dark red, but her face was still as cold as ice. "I heard what you said just now, I have been doing a lot of thieves and prostitution in the past."

Before he finished speaking, Wei's left palm also had the same consequence. "Drill your teeth and see if you dare to insult the soldiers of Nan Zhao. Cutting your two palms is to avenge the people you have poisoned."

Wei Guanshi looked at the other party cutting off his hands like a vicious evil spirit, and fainted in front of him.

Putting the axe on the ground, Qingyan stood up and walked back slowly.

"Brother-in-law, just bandage these people and don't lose your life. When the prefect of Qushui County comes, you can return it."

Mr. Zhou knew that all the causes were because of himself. He felt guilty and was deeply moved, "Qingyan, take Miss Shangguan and leave quickly. It would be too late if the prefect came with the soldiers!"

"If we leave, the father-in-law will not be able to hand in the prefect, right?"

"The old man has not had a few years of good life. I will bear all the consequences. Don't say too much, let's leave quickly!" Mr. Zhou stepped forward and grabbed Qingyan's arm and looked anxious.

"Didn't you blame me for hurting you Zhoujia Village?" Qing Yan stood still as if he was still.

Mr. Zhou tried his best to pull the other party, but he said helplessly: "You hurt these people for the sake of the old man and the reputation of the Huangqin of the Northern Mansion. How can I blame me? Don't say it's me. Ask all the villagers, which one is not a military household?"

Although the villagers did not answer, they nodded heavily, with a strange look in their eyes, which moved their previous words.

"Brother-in-law, there is no need to say anything. We just need to wait for the arrival of the prefect of Qushui County. I am really curious whether his subordinates know whether he knows this or not."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

Sitting on the only two wooden chairs, Qingyan felt very uncomfortable when he saw Mr. Zhou sitting on pins and needles.

"Brother-in-law, I want to know how many times Zhoujia Village has to pay every year, how much silver taels each time, and how about corvee labor?"

Mr. Zhou had already vaguely guessed that Qing Yan's identity was unusual, otherwise he would not have been so calm after hurting the prefect and engaged in the four yamen runners. What he asked now would be even more illusory.

"Previous years were better. Only two taxes were paid in the end of a year, but since last year, Wei worked in charge of taxes every quarter, and it was heavier than once." Zhou Laozhang sighed: "Because Zhoujia Village is a military household, it does not need to bear corvee service, but because of this complicated heavy tax, every household is suffering."

Qingyan pondered for a moment and asked again: "Is the same happening to other villages in Qushui County?"

"I don't know anything about the others, but this is true for the villages within a hundred miles of Zhoujia Village, and it is not a military household and has to bear heavy labor."

After sighing deeply, Qingyan remembered what Zhao Jing said by the lakeside of Luoxi Lake. At that time, he thought he had said a little too much, but then he realized that Nan Zhao would be difficult to return if he continued like this.

On the earthen kang in the west room, Shangguan Feiyan accompanied Grandma Zhou and spoke.

"Miss Shangguan, tell the truth to your mother-in-law, is Qingyan behind the door?"

Shangguan Feiyan was shocked when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the old man's eyes were so vicious that he guessed his identity very much.

Looking at the other party's red and swollen eyes, Shangguan Feiyan did not answer, but just nodded gently.

Grandma Zhou shed tears again when she saw this, "No wonder, no wonder, that Qingyan's child is so young but can say such words. It's only possible that it is the child of a general. Girl, you have never been a mother, you will not understand that your two children have disappeared without a name and no separation for twenty years without knowing life and death. This kind of pain is really unbearable..."

Shangguan Feiyan quickly sat next to the other party and held his old hand and advised: "Mother-in-law, don't be sad. Although there has been no news about the Huangqin in the North Mansion for so many years, their weight in the hearts of the people of Nan Zhao is irreplaceable. Everyone knows that the Huangqin soldiers of the North Mansion are heroes who stand tall."

"Mother-in-law is not sad, but she burst into tears happily. Unexpectedly, the descendants of the generals can also speak out for Dalang Erlang. This is the happiest day in 20 years." Grandma Zhou wiped her tears, "Good child, since Qingyan can stand up for the unfairness of strangers and not afraid of the government, it can be seen that he is a responsible man. If you marry him in the future, you will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

Shangguan Feiyan was thinking about how to comfort the other party a moment ago, but unexpectedly, Grandma Zhou’s words made her laugh and cry.

"Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. I am just a friend and I have not decided for life. Besides, I don't like him." Shangguan Feiyan explained.

"But you didn't tell him your intentions? You can't hide the look you looked at Qingyan privately. If you were not moved by him at all, you would never show such a look." Grandma Zhou held Shangguan Feiyan's hand instead, "Listen to my mother-in-law's advice, don't hesitate if you really like it. A child as outstanding as Qingyan is rare."

Shangguan Feiyan was stunned and did not answer when she heard this, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Qingyan learned about the situation in Zhoujia Village in detail for several years, the outside of the yard suddenly became noisy.

"It seems that our prefect has arrived. My father and I will meet him." Qing Yan stood up and walked out with a smile.

The villagers outside the yard seemed to have never left and gathered around the fence, and a large number of soldiers appeared behind the crowd to drive the villagers.

When he saw a middle-aged official walking quickly, Qingyan sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Yue Bei, the prefect of Qushui County, met His Highness. He did not know that the prince was standing side by side and was in trouble to welcome him. I hope that the prince would forgive him for his crimes." Yue Bei bowed and saluted.

"Both! Side by side with the prince!!"

Not only the old couple of Zhou's family, all the villagers exclaimed. They thought Qingyan was at most an official disciple, but they didn't expect that he was the son of the prince who stood side by side!

"Premier Yue, when I hear your tone, I seem a little unhappy. Is this prince who hurt your people and makes you go far away?"

Yue Bei saluted again and said, "The officials dare not."

Although he was very respectful on his face, Yue Bei was indeed a little unhappy as Qingyan said. He thought to himself that even if the celebrity around His Majesty was a prince, he would not be able to take care of Yizhou thousands of miles away from Jinling? As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. If his engaging in the work was seriously injured, he would not be able to raise his head in the officialdom of Yizhou.

But fearing the other party's identity, he left the gums of the newly married concubine and came to this place where the bird would not shit as quickly as possible.

"Since I don't dare, then I will order you to take your subordinates to get out of Zhoujia Village and walk in again. If I let the prince see the act of driving away the villagers, get out and walk again, will you hear clearly?"

When Yue Bei heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he looked up at the other person's smile, he realized that there was nothing wrong with his ears.

Just as he was about to kill the young prince, he suddenly saw the other party take out something from his arms and said behind his one hand: "This prince's patience is limited, and it doesn't matter if Lord Yue is really reluctant. This prince lets the governor of Yizhou take you away in person."
