"It seems that everyone has no objection, so take this opportunity to talk about other things.

Before, I heard from Al that there are many elderly people in our city who are in the army, but the pension was not paid after death. Is this true?

Those families are the families of fallen soldiers, come and take a look!"

Then, more than a dozen people were brought up one after another, including old men and old ladies and children.

Although several children are now orphans.

The soldiers who died in battle were their father, brother, or uncle.

Most of the elderly are lonely and widowed people who have no choice but to go to the battlefield to make achievements and then go home to honor their parents.

But who knew that he had caught himself in.

Not only that, even the pension for death in battle was swallowed by the people above.

"Sir, there are still two who haven't come..."

Facing the dozen people in front of him, Al seemed a little hesitant.

“Why?”

"Die... I starved to death early... an orphan and an old lady who was unattended, about three months ago..."

This is a heavy topic.

Everyone's faces were filled with helplessness.

"Who will take care of the payment of this pension?"

"The Qiancheng to the south is logically the responsibility of their city lord."

"Why should my Yuecheng's pension be handled by his city?"

"I don't know that Yuecheng is in a remote terrain and the officials above want to make it convenient, so they simply gave all the pensions in this area to Qiancheng.

In order to ask the Lord of Qiancheng to help send it to the surrounding cities."

"And he swallowed it?"

"This...probably, Qiancheng's uncle works in the official position and is said to be the godson of the great master.

So no one moved him."

“It’s so disgusting…”

"Yes, I feel so too. The great master is so old and he is about to be so. Maybe he will ruin his godson's hands if he is not safe in his later years."

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Let's do this, you guys go with me to Qiancheng tomorrow, and I'll meet that guy!"

"yes!"

The eldest and second brothers and others were all excited. To be honest, after staying in this city for a long time, they inevitably wanted to go to the outside world.

Al tried to raise his hand and said that he also wanted to go and see the fun.

But when he thought that someone would have to supervise the city, Hei Jiu would definitely not let him go, so he gave up his thoughts very sensible.

After making plans for the pension, Heijiu said to Al again:

"After the house is repaired, residents like these who do not have family members should pay more attention to visiting and take care of themselves."

"Yes, it must be!"

At this time, a middle-aged man behind him spoke:

"Sir, our Yuecheng will definitely get better and better in the future. What should we do if outsiders want to settle down here when they come here?

Do you still have to pay for him to buy houses, furniture, etc.?”

"Am I crazy?"

Hei Jiu gave the man a blank look, and Al slapped the man in the forehead:

"That's right, do you treat your own city lord as a fool?"

It caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Then Hei Jiu added:

"Outsiders are outsiders after all, not indigenous people of our Yuecheng.

Anyway, I only repaired the house this time, and I have no money to repair it again.

If any outsiders plan to settle in our city in the future, they have to buy or repair the house themselves.

I'm not in the mood to make people lose their temper."

As he was talking, Al as if he suddenly remembered something, he attached himself to Hei Jiu's ear and said:

"By the way, sir, the princess came to see you a few days ago, but because you were not here, I sent her away."

"Bai Ling?"

"Well, yes! Our country is only one princess."

"So... did she say anything?"

"I didn't say anything, I just felt depressed when I saw you weren't here."

"I guess I'm bored at school, forget it, I won't mention this."

——

The next day, Heijiu took the eldest and second brothers and even the sixth and sixth men to Qiancheng on horseback.

Qiancheng is different from Yuecheng. Although the scale is the same, it is much more prosperous.

However, not far from the city gate, I saw a large group of worn-out people pulling banners outside the city.

All they could hear was shouting:

"Give back our soldiers' hard-earned money, and back our soldiers' hard-earned money."

At this time, the city gate was surrounded by the people, and opposite the people were a row of officers and soldiers holding weapons, responsible for blocking them outside the city.

"It seems that this money city has not only cheated us, but also cheated money from other small cities."

The boss touched his beard, then called an old man passing by and asked:

"My fellow villager, what's going on over there?"

The boss pointed to the people at the city gate and asked.

The old man originally wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw that the group of people who were asking him seemed to be officials, and he immediately stuttered:

"No, I don't know, don't ask me!"

The boss and Hei Jiu looked at each other, and then Hei Jiu nodded, and the boss then asked:

"My fellow villager, don't worry, we came from Yuecheng, this is our city lord, we are here for the pension of the people in the city.

But seeing the situation ahead, it seems that it is not that easy to deal with..."

When he heard that he was coming to ask for the pension, the old man immediately felt energetic:

"So that's how it is... I was shocked. I thought you had a good relationship with the city lord Qiancheng..."

"Did the fellow villager think I'll report you? Haha, it won't be."

"Oh, it doesn't matter..."

The old man sighed and then told the truth.

In fact, he also came to Qiancheng to make a pension.

The old man had two sons, all of whom died in battle, but the pension was not received for a long time.

He actually came with the group of people in front of him, but this protest has continued several times, and the Lord of Qiancheng did not even miss them.

Because of this, the old man was disheartened and had to give up his plan to go home.

There have been more than one such person like him who has left nothing and completely given up during this period.

I guess the city lord of Qiancheng wanted to continue to drag this way, so that the group of people outside the city could not be exhausted and went home.

Anyway, he didn't have to worry about someone from above checking him. After all, he had someone in the palace. As long as his uncle covered him a little, he could rest assured.

——

This is roughly the case. Heijiu is not very interested in other cities. He only wants to get back the pension from his Yuecheng.

But the boss and the others had a different idea.

In their opinion, the city lord can definitely mention this group of people to stand up.

In this way, it is equivalent to indirectly buying people's hearts, which will definitely be no harm in the future.

Therefore, the six people suggested that the Hei Jiu Gang help them.

Heijiu felt it didn't matter, so he simply agreed.

When the old man heard that Hei Jiu could stand up for them, he rushed to the people who were protesting ahead.
