Some people are saved, while others are falling into the Nine Nether Hell.

Old man Gao used a wooden crawler to carefully turn over the millet that was sunburned on the bamboo mat. Looking at the plump millets under the sun, his eyes were filled with a look of doting.

This year's year is actually good. At least God is very friendly to these farmers and has good weather. As a self-cultivated farmer, the income this year is very good.

He calculated that after paying all the taxes this year, the remaining food was enough for the family to live. Although life was very hard, he would not be hungry.

Seeing his two-year-old grandson crawling on the ground and about to climb onto the drying mat, he immediately shouted loudly. Seeing that his grandson was giggling at him while continuing to climb on the drying mat, Old Man Gao walked over helplessly and picked up his grandson.

The grain is expensive. If this guy pissed it on, it would be white again in the past half day. The tutor from the county who was collecting taxes in the village was very slippery. If the grain didn't dry, he would have broken the moisture hard. A few people who wanted to get sloppy in the past had a sad face when they came back.

Old Man Gao didn't want to suffer this loss. He dried the millet so that they could not find any mistakes.

Seeing the sun set, Old Man Gao picked up a handful of millet and rubbed it in his hand. He confirmed that there was no problem. Then he collected the millet and put it in large pockets, then placed it on the shelf cart, pushed the shelf cart, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

At this time, there were less than a few people in Gaojia Village who were paying oral taxes in the village.

"Gao Chunsheng." A yamen runner called out at the last name above Bozi.

Old Man Gao quickly agreed and accompanied him to laugh and pushed the food on the cart. "The official, I just put it away and it was very dry."

The yamen runner didn't even look at it and said directly: "The water is large, 20% off, and the above is worth it!"

Old Man Gao was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to defend himself, the Qianliang Master who was shaking a fan next to him came over, holding an iron drill in his hand and poking and pulling it. The hollow space of the iron drill brought out a lot of grain, poured it out and rubbed it in his hand, and said, "Old Man Gao is a honest man. Unlike those traitors, the millet is extremely dry and there is no need to break the moisture, and it is directly weighed."

The yamen runners are also a person who understands things. Since the master said that, there must be a story here, so he nodded repeatedly. After saying that, there was still plenty of food brought by Old Man Gao.

Originally, Old Man Gao wanted to make them lose 10% of the water, but unexpectedly, he had a result and looked at the master stupidly.

"Your son is called Gao Shiping!" Master Qian Liang shook his head and fanned, and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Old Man Gao nodded repeatedly.

"You have a good son. You were promoted to the county troupe training a few days ago! The lieutenant Le from the Observer Mansion likes him very much! The future is bright and the future is bright." Master Qian Liang laughed with a hint.

Old Man Gao suddenly realized that it was not because of his master's kindness, but because of his son who had been removed for more than a year, he actually had a promising future? This dead boy didn't know how to bring a message to his family!

"What should be collected should be collected. How many pairs of eyes are staring at it!" The master lowered his voice, covered the two of them with a fan, and said, "When it gets dark, come over and drag you back. He doesn't care about your little bit, right?"

When the old man Gao heard this, he was surprised and happy and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, lord."

"No need to thank you. Gaoshou and I are also acquaintances. What's this little thing?" The master smiled and turned around and walked away. When he put down the fan, his face turned cold and frosty.

Old man Gao returned home like a sleepwalking, dragging the remaining bag of food. When he told his son about his wife and daughter-in-law, the family was very happy.

Speaking of which, Old Man Gao's family is a single resident, so there was no need to get a gentry, but more than a year ago, the government did not care about it, and every family had to get a gentry. Old Man Gao wanted to go by himself, but was despised as old. His son was taken away. After leaving, there was no news for more than a year. He didn't want to be outside but became an official.

It’s good to be an official, and there will be hope for the future.

During dinner, Old Man Gao specially asked his wife to cook a dry meal, and then took out a piece of bacon that existed in the jar, carefully cut a small piece of it and baked it. The remaining half was prepared, and he was about to ask the master to take it to the county town to give it to his son.

The family was happily eating and full.

It was finally dark, so Gao Laobo pushed the cart and sneaked to the village entrance. The servants were loading the food they received. When they saw Old Man Gao coming, they didn't say much. At the master's instructions, the two servants carried a few bags of food and put it on his cart, but they were even more than he had handed over.

Old Man Gao happily pushed the cart and rushed back.

Not long after leaving, he suddenly heard something behind. He turned around and froze. At the entrance of the village, under the bright light, men in black appeared like ghosts. As the knife fell, several officers screamed and fell.

"There are robbers!" someone shouted at the village head, and the remaining officers drew their swords and started fighting with the men in black who suddenly appeared.

The sound of gongs sounded in the village, and the farmers were holding hoes and steel hairpins in their hands.

Thieves are not uncommon. Whenever they encounter such a thing, everyone in the village will work together to drive the thieves away. Such things will always happen two or three times a year. However, those thieves generally do not choose to be sent by officials, which is a bit strange today.

Old Man Gao quickly pushed the cart aside, but he didn't dare to let the people in the village see what he was doing now, otherwise he would not be able to be a human being in the future. He put the cart aside and touched a stick on the ground, and the villagers who were rushing out all shouted and rushed towards the village head.

However, this time, the situation is obviously different.

There were only dozens of people in black who appeared at the beginning, which were much less than the farmers in the village. In addition, the officials from the county town were very energetic. After many thieves had experienced many experiences, everyone also had experiences. If you were cowardly, he would be very arrogant. If you were cowardly, it would be his turn to be cowardly.

Now everyone is full of hands and courage. Those thieves are not good at seeing each other, so they will definitely escape.

But obviously, they were wrong.

The thief leader saw the villagers rushing out, and grinned. With a whistle, dozens of thieves took off their crossbows from their waists. With the sound of crossbows, the farmers poured down like they were cutting millet. The officials at the top were the first to bear the brunt.

What was coming was not ordinary thieves, but Liu An's troops under Liu Xinda from Jiujiang. Although these people were not elite, they were trained troops after all. And if they did too many such burning, killing, looting, they were all killing without blinking.

The master hiding at the back was very knowledgeable. When he saw these thieves actually used military crossbows, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He quietly retreated without saying a word, untied the horse's reins, turned over the horse, and whipped it hard. The horse neighed and then left, and in a flash, it disappeared into the darkness.

There were only dozens of men in black, but at this moment they were like a god of killing, cutting melons and vegetables to chop the servants and farmers in a pool of blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, Old Man Gao turned around and ran away.

After running for more than ten steps, his heart suddenly became cold. When he looked down, he saw a sharp tip of a knife protruding from his chest. With a strong force coming from his back, he staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground with his face down.

He raised his head with all his might and looked in the direction of home.

The lights in the village were still there, but his eyes became blurry.

How could this happen? Seeing that the days are hopeful, why is it like this?

With a heart full of reluctance, Old Man Gao completely lost his voice.

The people in black followed the fleeing farmers and rushed into the Gaojia Village.

Gaojia Village, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, became Shura Hell overnight.

When the sky was getting brighter, the people in the entire Gaojia Village were almost dead. All the food was stolen, and all the valuable things in the family were collected, and even iron tools such as iron pot, kitchen knives, hoes were not spared.

The women suffered a great disaster. Most of them were humiliated and killed by a knife. Some of them were lucky enough to survive, but they were sitting in the ruins with their bodies exposed and their eyes were dull, as if they were stunned.

A child's cry suddenly rang.

That was the grandson of Old Man Gao. When the bandits rushed into the village to burn, kill and loot, his mother put him in a bucket and hung him into the well in the backyard. The sleeping child had no idea that his mother was raped and killed by the bandits not far from the well.

At this moment, he finally woke up.

His crying became the last ray of vitality in the village.

Master Qianliang fled all the way, and at the time of bright sunshine, he finally rushed to De'an County.

An hour later, an army of about a thousand people was quickly gathered and headed towards Gaojia Village. This was the army stationed in De'an by the Jiangxi Observer, and the leader was a captain named Lewen.

And among his team, a whistleman named Gao Shiping was very anxious at this moment, because the first person to be robbed was his hometown.

Lewen, who was marching on the road, kept receiving warnings from all over the country. The entire De'an County was actually robbed by countless bandits overnight.

He immediately knew something was wrong.

This is not an ordinary bandit, it is obviously an organized and planned behavior.

He immediately stopped the team's advance.

"The whole army returned to the county town!" he shouted loudly.

There are not many people who have such a great force around De'an, but Liu Xinda's troops, who are entrenched in Jiujiang, are definitely one of them.
