Chapter 221
"It seems that they have been exploiting you for a day or two." Lin Heng spoke first, "Haven't you thought about protecting your own interests?"

"My lord, what you think is too simple. Can we sue the officials to protect this matter? Or can we just beat them up?" Zhuang Shi looked helpless, "My lord, you are in a high place, so naturally you can't Understand the life of poor people like us."

The current society is like this, officials and officials protect each other, and the people do not fight with officials.

"What's your name?" Lin Heng asked.

"Little man Zhuang poetry."

"En." Lin Heng nodded, "I heard that you are a chivalrous man, but now I see that you are indeed so."

"Ah...haha..." Zhuang Shi scratched her head in embarrassment, "Who is telling the truth."

"..."

Lin Heng coughed dryly, "What are your future plans?"

"I plan to... marry a daughter-in-law and hold them together for three years." Zhuang Shi looked sincere.

Lin Heng was speechless again, he sighed and asked, "Are you planning to keep selling meat in the future?"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Shi's expression instantly became decadent, and he drooped his head, "I actually want to go back to my hometown, but I have to save money to go back. I have a straight temper, and my words are not pleasant, and no one wants to use me. I can only be in Now this boss..."

"Then what are you going to do when you go home?" Lin Heng continued to ask, "Don't tell me again, marry a wife and have children."

"The family has reserved land, and I can farm it."

"Are you good at martial arts, are you willing to farm for a lifetime?" Lin Heng looked at him with a serious expression.

Zhuang Shi's expression was complicated, he couldn't help turning his head to one side, and sighed, "My family's ancestors have come here for generations, why am I not reconciled?"

"You have good martial arts, and you are in the capital now." Lin Heng said, "Why don't you choose to fight for yourself?"

Zhuang Shi didn't know why he looked at him.

"After you return to your hometown, how will you pay the tax?"

"Hand in half." Zhuang Shi scratched his head, with a little resentment in his eyes,

"Excessive taxation, tyranny, and stupid king." Lin Heng lowered his voice, "Don't you want to change?"

"Your Highness King Qi!" Zhuang Shi's eyes widened in surprise.

"I?"

"Are you rebelling?" Zhuang Shi leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Now, there are two options. One, I can give you a sum of money, enough for you to go home. One, follow me." Lin Heng looked at him and asked quietly, "Then how do you choose? You want to be with me Shall we change these unreasonable policies together?"

Maybe because of the high walls all around, Zhuang Shi inexplicably felt that some biting cold was invading his body.

He bit his lip, and nodded slightly.

"Then you will follow me and protect the safety of me and the princess." Lin Heng said, "I will not treat you badly in the future."

"Ah... what, is there any salary?" Zhuang Shi followed beside him, "After all, there are old and young on my side, so there must be some salary, right?"

"There will be." Lin Heng said, "I can give you a sum right now." After that, he took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is sincerity."

"Haha~ Your lord's sincerity is really great." Zhuang Shi couldn't help biting the silver, and then happily put it away.

Lin Heng pursed his lips, turned and left.

"My lord, wait for me." Zhuang Shi hurriedly followed.

He naturally tried his best to take people's money.

At that moment, Zhuang Shi settled the employment fee with the butcher shop owner, and left with Lin Heng.

Before taking two steps, Zhuang Shi suddenly passed Lin Heng, walked in front of her, and looked left and right.

"Look..." Before Lin Heng could say a word, the person in front of him shot out like an arrow.He opened his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to utter.

He must have found the wrong person, right?
Lin Heng thought for a while, then retreated to the side of the road.

A moment later, Zhuang Shi reappeared in front of him carrying a person.

"Look, my lord, my subordinates have caught a thief. The thief has been spying on you just now!"

The thief was dressed in rags, and was carried by Zhuang Shi like a chicken.

"Thinking." Lin Heng said lightly.

Seeing that the other party has recognized him, You Si had no choice but to greet him with a smile, "My lord."

"What son! This is His Royal Highness King Qi!" Zhuang Shi said fiercely.

Lin Heng felt the temple on his forehead twitch suddenly.

"His Royal Highness King Qi." Yousi smiled awkwardly.

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Heng remained indifferent.

"His Royal Highness, those people... I really don't know what's going on... I did meet a few people who escaped from Jiangzhou City, but it's not them. I don't know..."

"Okay." Lin Heng interrupted him.

Yousi quickly shut his mouth.

"Let him go." Lin Heng said to Zhuang Shi who was beside him.

Zhuang Shi got the order, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he threw Yousi to the ground.

Yousi hurriedly got up from the ground, just about to run away, after thinking about it, he looked at Lin Heng, "My lord, I have heard some things."

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows and gestured for him to say.

"In the imperial city, it seems that the Qianlong Palace where His Majesty lives is flooded." Yousi's voice was unusually low.

Qianlongdian is also gone?This matter has never been heard clearly.

"His Royal Highness King Qi?" Yousi said meanly.

Lin Heng came back to his senses and rewarded him with a few pieces of silver.

After getting the money, Yousi immediately smiled.

"If there is any trouble in the future, the little ones will come to you!" You Si said, and left.

……

"This man is not kind." Zhuang Shi clicked his tongue twice, then looked back at Lin Heng, "The imperial city is flooded, but where the flood occurred, who was injured, the court didn't post it. How did he find out?"

Lin Heng looked at Yousi's back who had gone away, and remained silent.

The thoughtful figure blended into the chaotic crowd and disappeared completely.

Lin Heng looked away, "Let's go."

After he brought Zhuang Shi back to Golden Eagle Division, he left him to have tea in the outer hall while he went to Cheng Muqing's room.

Cheng Muqing was embroidering patterns, she was in good health and could get out of bed now.

After the injury, her body was significantly thinner, and her originally round face was now a little sunken.

"Stop embroidering." Lin Heng felt distressed.

"No embroidery, what will our children wear?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"There will be an embroiderer for sewing." Lin Heng said without any explanation, picked her up and put her on the bed.

"But I want my child to wear clothes made by mother herself." Cheng Muqing touched the embroidered surface.

"You've done enough for him." Lin Heng smiled helplessly.

"Oh~" Cheng Muqing raised his body and wrapped his arms around his neck, "Isn't that enough~"

Lin Heng patted her on the back with a gentle tone, "Be good, be obedient."

"Don't listen~"

Cheng Muqing acted coquettishly for a while before asking him, "What did you do today?"

Lin Heng said, "Accept a person who can become a champion of martial arts, and use it for myself."

"The one who can become the champion of martial arts?" Cheng Muqing frowned.

At that moment, Lin Heng repeated the matter,
After listening, Cheng Muqing was silent for a long time.

After a while, she said, "It's better to release the eagle than tie it to your side."

"Huh?" Lin Heng was puzzled.

"Leave it to me." Cheng Muqing smiled playfully.
