The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 899 Why did the court want to encircle and suppress us
The corners of Shen Mumian's mouth trembled, "You are enough!"

The leopard here used to sprinkle the powder on the surrounding weeds, and Xinxin lit the place where he had sprinkled the powder. After the fire burned for a quarter of an hour, the people in Shenjiazhuang slowly woke up.

Shen Hong was the first to wake up.

"Kapian, what's going on with Lanfeng?" Shen Hong was in a panic, "Why did the court want to encircle and suppress us?"

Shen Kapok and Shen Lanfeng looked at each other, and Shen Lanfeng nodded.

Shen Mumian said to Shen Hong, "Let's talk about Uncle Hong in the village."

All the people in this meeting are outside the village, and it is really not a good place to talk, so Shen Hong said, "Okay."

Gu Jiu took away all the people brought by Shen Lanfeng for the time being, only Gu San's group and the group brought out by Leopard were still there.

This will also follow into the village.

"Leopard, let them all go back to the base, it will be dawn now."

Xinxin turned her head and glanced at everyone, then said.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them, and let them send the horse back by the way."

The leopard ran back and said a few words to a child, and saw the child raised his hand, and the others quickly mounted their horses, and then disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Don't mention how wonderful the expressions of Gu San and the others are, it's just a group of children, there's really no need to make such a cool posture on the horse!
Shen Hong naturally saw it too, "Where did this group of children come from?"

"Don't ask Hongbo."

Shen Kapok said lightly.

Tell them what they should know, and don't ask them what they shouldn't know.

Soon after entering the village, Shen Mumian raised his hand, "I won't go to the ancestral hall, let's talk here."

"Then you said, our Shenjiazhuang is doing well, why did someone come to encircle and suppress it again, did you invite it again? Last time our house was burned down, although you didn't admit it, but we all knew that it was related to you. Can the house still be built? Now, let’s not talk about it, what about this time? Those people are going to kill us, it’s human life, and if we die, we can’t be saved!”

The pork three took the lead in yelling, and raised the butcher's knife in his hand high, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes..."

He took the lead in saying this, and the others also shouted.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Shen Mumian yelled, "If you want to know why, then shut up! If you don't want to know, pack up your things and get out!"

"Calm down and listen to what Kapok and the others have to say."

Shen Hong then raised his hands to appease everyone.

After a while everyone quieted down.

Shen Mumian glanced at everyone, and said, "You guessed right, this matter is related to us. But it's not entirely caused by us, and part of the reason is our Shen family heirloom!"

"Last year, the imperial court sent an imperial decree, you know? It looks like glory, but then the imperial court wrote three times asking me and Lan Feng for money. Do you know why?"

She didn't say anything about it. The last time was at the beginning of March. After Gu Jiu cut off the 3 taels, the emperor asked someone to open his mouth again. She handed over the drawings of the brick machine.

She didn't want to give the 10 taels, so she had no choice but to order someone to intercept the [-] taels of silver again in the same way.

Why did the imperial court come here again and again, asking for more each time? Didn't they think that the Shen family is rich and they are direct descendants of the Shen family?
"It is because many years ago that Shen Jiazhuang was born and donated several 10 taels of silver to the imperial court, making them think that our Shen family has not donated all the money, and our Shen family even has family heirlooms!"
