Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 145 Capture 2
Seeing this, Uncle Lin hurried forward to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "My lord."

After the official got off his horse, he stepped forward to give Uncle Lin a hand and said, "Mr. Lin, don't be too polite."

Uncle Lin also laughed fearfully: "It's absolutely necessary, etiquette is indispensable."

Seeing that Uncle Lin was so polite, the officer naturally liked him even more.

Originally, they were troubled by the refugee issue, but this Lihua village solved their troubles again and again, so naturally they had to treat each other politely.

"Everyone is here, right?" the official asked as he walked under the old banyan tree and inspected the tightly bound refugees.

His gaze swept over the villagers of Lihua Village, and he couldn't help but make them flinch.

Some family members were bitten, and they unconsciously and quietly blocked it with their bodies, and their hearts were pounding.

"Yes, it's all here." Uncle Lin who was following behind him replied.

The crazy woman over there was struggling and screaming, the officer frowned, and then gave the men who followed behind him a look, and then someone stepped forward again and roughly blocked the woman's mouth.

Then the official smiled and praised Uncle Lin again: "If the village chiefs in every village are as capable as Village Chief Lin, then we will have peace of mind."

You must know that other villages were not injured by refugees here, and some people covered up their injuries, causing the plague to spread rampantly in their villages, and the number of people increased, so they threw the mess to their yamen.

Otherwise, the food was robbed, and they went to the yamen every day to cry and complain, making their yamen very busy.

However, Lihua Village not only paid the food tax on time, but also arrested refugees when they were attacked by refugees. Uncle Lin, the village head, deserved this praise.

Immediately, Uncle Lin replied shyly, "Don't dare to act, dare not act."

Thinking of the injured villagers in the village, he couldn't help interceding: "It's just that my lord, there are dozens of people in our village who have been bitten. Can I trouble you to take care of it?"

Uncle Lin smiled and continued: "Of course, they are all kind-hearted, and they were injured just now to catch these refugees."

Uncle Lin first said that he was begging for favors, and then he said: "Of course, I will send them to you in a short while for their meal money."

When everyone heard that Uncle Lin spoke for them, they also mentioned it in their hearts, and they all looked nervously at the official's statement.

When the officer heard this, he hurriedly interrupted: "Don't."

Everyone's heart sank, before the tears from the corners of the women's eyes fell, they heard the official say again:

"You still don't understand? You've made meritorious service! You don't need to pay money in advance, not only don't you need it, maybe there will be rewards!"

These words shocked everyone.

what! ?Not only do your infected relatives not need to be dealt with, but there will be rewards?

Although the people were excited, they didn't dare to yell and looked at the officer quietly.

"This..." Uncle Lin was also taken aback.

"I'm here to congratulate you first. Our adults are thinking about you in Lihua Village. When we receive the news, we plan to report it for you and ask for rewards. It just so happens that the higher-ups also intend to encourage everyone to protect themselves and resist, but in the end it is your kindness. This doesn’t require us to bother to say it, and it has helped us a lot, so naturally it should be rewarded.”

The officer laughed.

Only then did Uncle Lin come to his senses, excited in his heart, he leaned over and cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you so much sir."

The official only helped him again, and said: "You deserve it. As for the injured villagers in your village, you don't need to worry about it. We will take care of it properly. The doctor over there is also waiting, and nothing will happen to them. As for if there are casualties, you can report the list later, and we will report it up, and we can also get a sum of appeasement money, which is more or less money, and you can wait for the news with peace of mind."

Immediately, he looked at the sky again and said: "It's getting late, I have to rush back to report to my order, so I won't disturb you any more, get everything ready and set off immediately."

Seeing that the officer explained everything clearly, everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and all smiled.

Uncle Lin also nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

The officer here began to order his men to arrest the refugees, and Uncle Lin also asked Lin Feng to go back and quickly record the list of casualties, and let them take them away soon.

Things were going on in an orderly manner, and after a while, the soldiers tied up the refugees with long thick hemp ropes and secured them.

The refugees were severely beaten by the people in Lihua Village. At the beginning, some people couldn't get up at all, and were threatened by the soldiers.

If they didn't leave by themselves, they would be tied up and dragged by horses. However, when they went to the yamen, they couldn't guarantee whether they still had a piece of good meat on them, or if they were directly ground into a skeleton.

Not to mention the shrewdness of the refugee who got up with difficulty, even the people in Lihua Village were also frightened and did not dare to breathe.

Just now, the men in Lihua Village did not take lightly. These refugees walked to the Yamen with injuries, and that feeling could make them feel better.

As for the injured villagers, Lin Li took people to find the bullock cart, placed them on the bullock cart, and Lin Feng took them to the Yamen.

First stay for one night, if you don't have a high fever, you will come back, if you have a high fever and contract the plague, you can only be isolated.

When the official was ready, he clasped his fists with Uncle Lin and said, "There is no need for Village Chief Lin to send it off, we will leave now."

Uncle Lin also clasped his hands and replied: "Master, go slowly."

The officer got on his horse, nodded after sitting firmly, and said kindly: "Okay, you can rest assured to wait for the news, there is no need to send each other."

As soon as the words fell, there was an excuse, and he took the lead, and the soldiers behind drove the refugees who were strung together.

Lin Feng waited at the entrance of the village with the injured villagers who were not sure whether they were infected or the refugees who were tied up and had the plague. After a while, he joined the soldiers and went to the town's yamen.

It took a while before the figure of the last soldier disappeared at the end of the path, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When they came back to their senses, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, fleeing for their lives and beating refugees. Their highly tense spirits relaxed, and the women couldn't help crying.

Uncle Lin looked at the crowd, and he was exhausted, but he still comforted him: "Go back and rest, the adults will make decisions for us, and those who have to do the funeral will do it. They are all from the same village. Help me, if you encounter difficulties, come to me."

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.

"Uncle Lin, you have worked hard enough, go back and rest."

"Yeah, this day's toss, go to the meeting, we can do other things."

Only then did Uncle Lin pinch his brows, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he glanced around, from Lin Fansheng and You Ran bandaging the wound, to Na Deng's bone setting, and then to Lin Li supporting a girl.

Seeing this, Uncle Lin couldn't help but frowned again, but he didn't make a sound after all.

Seeing Uncle Lin looking around for something, a young man couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"

Uncle Lin then asked, "Did you see your aunt?"

Just now, he didn't see his wife, so he was thinking about it.

A woman was picking up a stool on the ground when she heard that she raised her head and said, "Aunt Jiang went to Da Zhou's house. Her little daughter-in-law was knocked down just now, and the baby in her stomach may be born prematurely."
