Chapter 616:

分别 Since being separated from the disaster, Wei also started the training alone.
Like Jiu, in the short period of half a year, she also made "heavy achievements".
She went up to the incompetent little lunatics, up to noble officials, and she was arrested for everything that was illegal, and then thrown into the local police. Due to Wei ’s identity, these people were all dealt with.
I thought of this, thought the village chief.
Speaking of this village chief, he was obviously the lowest-ranking official in the empire, not even a nobleman, but the faction in the village was regarded by ordinary noblemen as excessive.
The village chief, who once controlled all aspects of the village, went from business to down to what the people do every day, he had to step in.
Such a person, Wei naturally will not let go, and many of the other party's actions did violate the laws of the empire.
Xun Wei sent the village head to prison.
This is what happened when Jie and Wei just separated.
I was half a year, and I visited the old land again. Not far away, it was the small village she passed by.
With a different mood, Wei speeded up her pace.
But after entering the village, Wei felt something was wrong.
how to say?
相比 Compared with half a year ago, the village seems to have been deserted a lot.
There are very few villagers on the road, and the fields are a bit deserted. Not only that, it's obviously evening, but there are few houses in the village that raise smoke.
And what made Wei feel most surprised was that the children who saw by chance had thin and yellow muscles, and they didn't have the vibrancy that a child should have.
When the child saw Wei, he was obviously afraid, hiding behind the big tree.
Seeing this, Wu Wei quickly took out the dry food from the luggage she was carrying, and motioned to the child who had protruded his head.
Although the child's face was still scared, he was obviously drooling.
In the end, the desire for food finally overcame timidity, ran out from the back of the tree, picked up the dry food in his hands and began to bite wildly.
"Slow down, slow down, no one will grab you."
Xun Wei was comforting aside, but the child was still eating fast.
Seeing this, Wu Wei immediately took out some more.
"If it's not enough, I still have it."
The child just swallowed the dry food in his hands, and after grabbing Wei's hands, grabbed it again, but this time, he was not anxious to swallow the dry food into his stomach, even though his eyes were still full of longing.
"What is your name?"
"Gullah."
"Gula? Good name. I have a friend called Gulagas. Your names are alike."
Maybe it was because of Wei ’s joke, or because of the dry food just now, the anxiety on the boy ’s face was obviously relieved a lot.
在 At this moment, the boy's stomach murmured as if to remind him to continue eating.
"Continue eating?"
"No."
为什么 "Why? Didn't I give you some more? I won't starve when I eat it."
"I want to stay until tomorrow, I can't finish it all at once."
The boy showed restraint far beyond his age, but this made Wei feel a little more confused.
Although Wei Wei wasn't born in a wealthy family, she was also a worry-free food and clothing child. Her parents also treated her very well.
After I grew up a little, Wei entered the Superhero Academy. Although I experienced a lot of storms, I didn't have any hardships.
So, she couldn't imagine what the day would be like.
Of course, this does not mean that Wei will look down on the little boy. On the contrary, the boy's performance aroused Wei's desire for protection.
Yun Wei wanted to help the boy, but before that, she had to figure out some things.
"Where are your parents?"
他们 "They passed away very early. I was raised and looked after by people in the village from a young age."
既然 "That being the case, why are you hungry? Do these villagers abuse you?"
"No!" The boy's tone became a little excited when Wei You accused the villagers: "They have always been good to me."
"Why are you hungry then?"
Yun Wei's expression was obviously unbelieving.
"Because the village is poor, everyone is running out of food." The boy's voice became low.
Now, it's Wei's turn not to believe.
As said before, Wei visited this village half a year ago.
The village at the time, although oppressed by the village chief for a long time, life was not bad.
Although 称 is not wealthy, it is considered to be well-fed, at least far from being able to afford to eat.
Why is the village leader who has troubled the village caught now, but the village is poor?
Wu Wei feels that this is just an excuse made by the villagers not to continue raising the boy, and the simple child is just blinded.
But after entering the village, Wei realized that things seemed completely different from what she thought.
The ruins of Qiang Village are heavier than the surrounding area, and some of the old people we have seen, like Gula, are obviously malnourished.
说 Did it say that during this half year, what terrible accident happened, so that the village was quickly ruined?
解除 In order to relieve the doubts in his heart, Wei chatted with a healthy old man in the village.
But did not expect that this conversation, she became the culprit leading to the decline of the village!
"Our village, it was very good six months ago. Although the head of the village was active and capable, the villagers under his leadership finally had a full meal, but he did not expect that he offended the noble and was sent in. Prison, since then our village has suffered! "
Although Xun Wei had been to the village, she hadn't seen many people. The old man was obviously not there, and she recognized it.
But it is this way that Wei can hear the true words of the other party.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, when the old man mentioned the word
noble
, he was obviously angry and apparently pushed all the problems facing the village to Wei.
I was a little unconvinced by this.
"I heard that your village chief did a lot of illegal things at the time. The nobleman you said was also sent to prison because the village chief violated the laws of the empire."
"This lady, you seem to be familiar with the situation in our village?" The old man glanced at Wei with a clear expression of surprise.
After all, their village is very small and inconspicuous in the empire. The village chief was arrested for such a trivial matter that he could not spread to the outside, right?
"I also just heard Gula said." Wei apologized to Gura silently, then took him out as a shield.
"Children know something." The old man poked, but didn't seem to mean too much blame.
即便 But even so, Wei still refuses to accept.
"Is there anything wrong? The village chief violated the law and received sanctions. Isn't this justified?"
"Righteousness? Is it true that we are hungry?" The old man's tone also became a little excited, saying, "It is true that when the village chief was overbearing, he did some things that were mixed, but he could It is guaranteed that each of us can fill our stomachs. For this reason, the old man will think of his goodness, and the old man believes that this is the case for most people in the village. "
"It's impossible to say." Wei muttered in a grumpy, feeling that he was totally denied.
"What's wrong, lady, look at our village. How many people are there now?"
Wu Wei looked around and asked curiously, "It's true that there are very few people. Where have these people gone?"
什么 "Where? Of course I went to the city to find the owner."
"The village is ruined. It is indeed necessary to ask the Lord of the City for help. There must be a way for the Lord of the Lord ..."
"Fart!" In addition to the excitement, the old man made a swear word, and then continued: "They all asked the Lord Lord to put the village head back."
Wu Wei felt that her brain was not enough.
She has seen the domineering of the village chief, and she has also seen the villagers' resentment against the village chief. How has it changed for half a year?
"Old man, don't you really hate the village chief at all? I've heard that he even forced you to buy your grain before."
"So what? The village head let us have enough food, and the village head bought grain, but to negotiate prices with the grain merchants in the city to get a better price."
The old man uttered rhetoric, but Wei did not believe it, at least not all of them.
Before she started, Wei also repeatedly verified the count of the village chief.
According to her investigation, the village head is not as concerned about the villagers as the old man said.
利用 The village chief used the power in his hands to forcibly purchase the grain of the villagers, and some of them violated. The village chief and his minions went directly to the door and even injured people.
After the death, he did negotiate with the grain merchants to raise the price of grain, but the villagers did not get any benefit from it.
Because the premium was all swallowed by the village head, not even a copper coin fell into the pocket of the villager.
After checking this matter, Wei facilitated the use of her influence to let the city chief send someone to arrest the village head. After that, she even found out a series of evil acts by the village head and finally convicted him.
Although these crimes did not kill the village chief, they were enough to shut him down for ten years.
Therefore, Wei felt that she should explain to the elderly and not let the other party continue to be blinded by the former village chief.
"Old man, listen to me, your former village chief bought your food and sold it at a high price. All the money you earned went into his own pocket and gave you nothing at all."
"So what? This is what the village chief deserves."
Xun Wei felt that her three views would be subverted.
She Mingming is the master of the people. How did she come to the end, the captured wicked person was supported by the village name, but she became a villain?
"Let's continue to talk about other things in the village. After the village chief is arrested, you can directly cooperate with the grain merchants. Shouldn't you make more money? How can you be poorer than before?"
"Otherwise it is said that the money should be taken by the village head." The old man's tone was full of emotion, saying: "We are just ordinary people in the countryside. We can only plant all kinds of land on weekdays. It ’s just the village head, where are the rivals of the grain merchants in the city. Since the village chief was arrested, the grain merchants have not only raised the price of grain purchases. On the contrary, they are 40% lower than before, so the village can't survive.

"How can they do this? Does the owner of the city care?"
"What to do? They didn't violate the laws of the Empire. They just bought them at a low price, but they didn't force us to sell them, and the city's main government couldn't control it."
"Why did your village chief sell for a high price? As long as you unite, you can definitely deal with these traitors."
"The village chief has his own relationship, and his knowledge is not comparable to those of us shanks. Naturally, he has his own way. After the village chief is put in prison, where do these businessmen put us in their eyes? Just slaughter? "
"You can sell to others!"
"Who to sell to? All the food merchants are in collusion. They are not slack at all. The road to the village is rugged. We have no way to send the food out. We can only wait for the food merchants to collect it. In the end, what they said was what . "
"So if you don't sell it, you can stay and eat it yourself, don't you get hungry?"
Wu Wei felt that she was going crazy, and proposing this method was also a broken jar.
"Where do n’t you sell the money? Usually you need money to buy the oil, salt and vinegar. We do n’t pay taxes every year. The city ’s government will not collect our food. They only recognize gold coins. If we do n’t pay taxes, it ’s a violation. The law of the empire, the masters in the city can make us unable to live. "
"What do you mean, the city main mansion is also with the grain merchants?"
"Where do you know this, but every year the city's main government receives gold coins, never received food, we also asked, and then the master of the city's main government took out the law of the empire and told us that it did ask for cash."
While this is the case ~ EbookFREE.me ~, Wei Nengben felt that there must be a shadow of the main city behind this incident.
Otherwise, these grain merchants did not dare to be so presumptuous, and dared to squash the people in a village.
After all, even if the local grain merchants are madly collusion because of their dejected interests, what about the grain merchants in other places?
Only the city's main government can make grain merchants from other places dare not step into this village.
But even if he guessed, Wei didn't help.
After all, in the operation of the whole thing, the city's main government did not violate the laws of the empire.
The old man also said before.
Grain is
freely bought and sold
. Grain merchants are simply lowering prices and have not forced villagers to buy.
However, the city's main government also refused to offset the tax with grain in accordance with the provisions of the empire law.
Although it sounds unfriendly, it does conform to the rules.
As far as foreign grain merchants are concerned, the city's main government does not have to show up in person, as long as there is a hint of secret, those profitable businessmen will not offend a city owner because of the food in a village.
I think so, this is a dead end.
Now, Wei finally understood why most of the villagers in the village went to the city's main government to try to rescue the village chief who was in jail.
But Wei still couldn't figure it out. She obviously acted according to the law, but why did she get the result?
It's completely different from what she thought beforehand.
"The law of shit, as long as we can fill our stomachs, the old man will not care about any law."
Although this sounded a bit irrational, it faintly touched Wei's heartstrings.
