The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1029 The imperial envoy welcomes you
"Who is the village head of Hecun?" The yamen servant shouted before reaching the restless victims.

The villagers in Hecun are a little confused, the village head of Hecun?Did the imperial envoy find out about the fact that the village chief took them away from the dispute just now?

Could it be to blame them for staying out of the matter and to punish the village chief who took the lead?
"Village head!" Several villagers in He Village were very nervous, and they suddenly mentioned the village head, not knowing what was going on.

"Is the village chief of Hecun here? The Imperial Envoy is here!"

Everyone in Hecun was afraid, that imperial envoy was so vicious, wouldn't asking the village chief to go would be like going to the tiger's mouth?

The village head was dragged by the crowd, so he could only answer with his mouth, "The little old man is Xue Miao, the village head of Hecun. If you dare to ask the envoy, I don't know why the imperial envoy summoned him?"

"You will know when you go, let's go!"

The envoy is very impatient, how does he know what the imperial envoy is thinking?Who is the imperial envoy, why do you need to explain to him what he does?
But in front of these disaster victims, he can't let them see that he lacks confidence, after all, he can't lose his face, can he?
What's more, he was punched several times by some grandson when the victims rioted before, and now he still feels pain!
Therefore, the yamen servants didn't have a good face towards these victims. If it weren't for these people, would the yamen servants have been beaten?
"Hurry up! Don't let the imperial envoy wait too long!"

Xue Miao saw that the visitor's tone was not friendly, so she hurriedly leaned back and said, "Then please ask the messenger to lead the way!"

"Village head!" The villagers in He Village looked at Xue Miao with worried faces. In the past, the village head was fair.

In the following days, no matter what to do, the village chief always made up his mind.

Facts have proved that listening to the village chief can't be wrong!Even though the village head is an outsider, after so many years in the village, the relationship between everyone and the village head is not the same as before.

Everyone couldn't bear it, and recalled that 17 years ago, the village chief came to Hecun to settle down alone with a bundle.

At that time, the old village head happened to be ill and passed away soon.Before his death, Xue Miao was elected to succeed him as village chief.

At that time, many people were dissatisfied. A foreigner never mentioned his family and past. How could such an unknown person become the village head?
However, the old village head resisted all opinions and believed that the village head was literate and sensible, so it was perfect to choose him as the village head.

Because the old village head is a highly respected elder in the village, even if the villagers object, the old village head's last words are not obeyed by everyone.

17 years have passed like this, and everyone has seen the performance of the village chief during this period, and they all recognize his ability very much.

Until the flood happened in Changtian Mansion this year, if there was no village head, they would have died long ago.

I heard that the houses in the village were soaked in water only two days after they left, and they were all glad that they had listened to the words of the village chief.

The imperial envoy was so vicious that he asked the village chief to go over, but he didn't know what he would do to the village chief.If there is no village head, what will they do in the future?
Pairs of earnest and worried eyes made Xue Miao feel very close. It's been 17 years, although when I went to Hecun, I just wanted to find a place to stay.

But people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?

He has been with these villagers day and night for 17 years, and he has integrated into these villagers, and he has integrated into the small village near the river.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset!He lived this kind of life for 17 years, and it was also his most leisurely 17 years.

Perhaps from today on, his days will no longer be peaceful.Those dust-laden past events will eventually be lifted.

"Don't worry! The imperial envoy is here to save us from the fire and water, I will come as soon as I go!"

He was also worried about the purpose of the imperial envoy's summoning him, but what he was worried about was different from that of the villagers in Hecun.

It's just that so many years have passed, this matter should not be brought up again.And since the imperial envoy is so young, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with that incident.

Although the other party looked ruthless, except for that person, they never hurt the lives of the victims at all.

As for that person, it was obviously more than just a disaster victim.This person incited the victims to fight against the court and the government, and he definitely had ulterior motives.

He even said that he was going to tie up the court officials, which is not something that a commoner would dare to do.

Even if the dog is in a hurry, he will jump over the wall, but now the victims are not at the end of their ropes, so why would they take risks?
Because Xue Miao was far away at that time, he had no idea that this person had tried to assassinate Yang Chaoying, otherwise he might have guessed more.

Gu Chengyu sat on the horse, looking down at the old man in front of him.

After looking at the other party, he suddenly found that the other party might not be very old, and he was younger than his father anyway.

He observed this person from a distance before, and found that his back was arched and his hair was also gray. He thought that the person was close to sixty years old.

Taking a closer look at this moment, he found that the other person's skin and face looked like fifty or so at most.

Gu Chengyu can look at Xue Miao unscrupulously, but Xue Miao cannot look directly at Gu Chengyu.

"Craftsman Xue Miao pays homage to the imperial envoy!" Xue Miao knelt down on the ground with a very respectful expression.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu couldn't help raising his eyebrows. The gesture of saluting was very standard, and the movements were very smooth, as if he had been well-bred.

"Xue Miao? But the village head of Hecun?"

The young man's Qingyue and soft voice sounded, which made Xue Miao's tense mood gradually relax.

His heart was pounding just now, and he took a gamble before coming here.Hearing the imperial envoy's question now, his heart was finally relieved.

This imperial envoy is so young, how could he know about this?It has been so long, so long that people have almost forgotten that he doesn't need to kill everything.

"Return to your lord, Cao Min is right!"

Gu Chengyu squinted his eyes slightly, the person's reply and actions were obviously not as simple as a farmer's.Even if the ancestors were rich, it is impossible to know the etiquette so clearly.

"I want to build the embankment in Hangtian Mansion, but the number of river workers is far from enough. I see that you have a lot of prestige among the villagers, so I ask you to organize manpower with the heads of other villages to build the embankment. Note Live! The elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women, children, and children are not allowed, and the disabled are not allowed. We can only choose healthy young and middle-aged people. Take care of three meals in the morning and evening, and the money is fifty yuan a day for the time being!"

The river workers here are not in corvée labor, such high-risk and high-intensity hard work does not cost fifty cents a day, but it is definitely a lot.

Fifty renminbi a day is enough to buy food, so that the food needed by the families of the victims can be regarded as settled.

As long as you bear hardships and stand old, save more money, and rebuild your home in the future, with money in hand, you can live well.

Gu Chengyu felt that this person was quite capable, and if he could complete what he asked, he could stay by his side to do things.
