Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's question, Mu Qing just shook his head and said nothing.
The smell of people is different, especially in this place where there are few people. He could tell clearly that apart from them, there was only one other family left nearby.
Seeing that Mu Qing didn't speak, everyone couldn't ask any more questions.
Fang Wu looked at his aunt and said, "How many people come and go around here? What else does your son do besides working in the fields?"
It is not difficult for them to find people, but it is not easy to contact them or ask them for useful things.
After all, they have been harassed a lot recently, and for some reason, Fang Wu also feels weird lately.
Why did these long-term workers just watch them go by this time? Are they really afraid, or are they no longer needed?
"There are not many people. Everyone who can move has moved away. Only us old and weak people or those who don't care are left." The aunt sighed.
"Do nothing else." The aunt continued.
"Didn't you file a complaint against someone who encircled the land and then oppressed the people?" Fang Wu continued.
She wanted to find out from the people how far the other party had gone, and how many officials in the court had intervened in such matters.
She knew what Tan Sihan meant. No matter how involved this matter was in the end, she would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
She doesn't think there is any problem, she is just afraid of retaliation if the investigation is not clean.
"It has been many years. In the early years, there were still people who complained, but most of those people have been dealt with under various circumstances. Some have completely disappeared," the aunt said.
"What about the ones that walked out?"
"Who would be willing to leave if there was a way?" the aunt continued.
Fang Wu sighed, this Yancheng town is really a headache. The officials cover the sky with only one hand, and the people have no hope for life.
It was at this time,
Someone pushed the door open and came in. When they saw them, they subconsciously picked up the broom at the door and looked at them eagerly: "What are you doing? Bullying an old man is nothing if you can fight."
The man was about thirty years old, tall and thin, and looked very capable. However, his eyes were obviously dull, and his hands were very unevenly white and black.
"We are the government. We are just here to understand some situations and are not planning to do anything."
Fang Wula pulled Bai An away from her and said kindly.
"Son, they really didn't do anything. This girl is quite gentle when talking." At this time, the aunt said, and she stood up and pulled the man away, asking him to put the broom down.
The man snorted, and after settling the aunt, he sat down and looked at Fang Wudao: "Just tell me if you have anything."
Fang Wu looked at the man,
He sat there, looking at her nervously with his eyes, without any embarrassment at all, but just on guard. He put his hands under the table, invisible.
It makes people subconsciously feel that this person has evil intentions.
In fact, what Fang Wu didn't notice was that Mu Qing and the others behind her were looking at the man's bulging arms.
Zhang Xuan looked around, thinking, if there is no one around here, where will the long-term workers live?
Bai An was recording,
"Approximately how many permanent workers are there? Are they all from the town?"
"Yes. There are about two to three hundred of them."
"How many people are watching over you on weekdays?"
"That's a lot. Some people who seem to be doing the same work as us are actually supervising the work inside."
The man said in one sentence.
Hearing this, Fang Wu nodded. No wonder, it turned out that there was a traitor among them who was counter-supervising them.
This can really prevent long-term workers from filing complaints or causing trouble to a certain extent.
"Have you seen these two people?" Fang Wu took out the portraits of Ren Ye and Chang Zi and showed them to him.
But the man shook his head.
"Who is organizing such things as harassing and driving us away?"
"I don't know." The man still said.
"Do you know about Huang Zhong?" "I don't know."
The same thing happened after that, whenever Fang Wu asked about something confidential, the man's answer was these simple three words.
"Then what do you know?"
Fang Wu asked this sentence,
"You took over Ren Ye's office, right? How do you want to exploit us in the future?"
As he spoke, the man suddenly pulled out a sickle from his arms and slashed at Fang Wu.
Seeing the flash of the sword, Fang Wu didn't dare to be careless. She lay down on the ground with a low voice. She only heard a plop sound, and the wooden stool under her butt was rotten. She felt that many wooden thorns had penetrated her clothes.
The man took action again, but as soon as he pounced, he was kicked in the chest and sent flying.
However, before he could stand up again, he was surrounded by a group of government officials, including people from Qin Sihan.
It's just that the latter is not only targeting men, but is also concerned about what's going on outside the yard.
Fang Wu swallowed, stood up, patted himself slightly, and said to Mu Qing, who kicked the man away, "Thank you."
However, Mu Qing did not answer her, only said: "Be careful."
Before Fang Wu could react to the change, he saw a lot of stones flying in from outside the courtyard wall.
She turned around a few times and managed to escape.
"Walk."
Mu Qing pushed Zhang Xuan and asked the three of them to leave first.
But within just a few breaths, I heard the sound of banging on the door outside.
The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong is mixed with,
"Look, look. These damn officials are just like the common people."
The wooden door of my aunt’s house was broken open in just a few clicks.
He pointed at the men surrounded and slandered the officials.
Those voices suppressed the words Fang Wu wanted to explain.
Seeing the man who was about to charge at me with sticks and stones, Zhang Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Get back into the house."
But Mu had already drawn his sword and kicked the table away with his foot. He recognized the sound of footsteps and returned to the door.
"Brother Qing, this..." A subordinate turned around and looked at Mu Qing, who was not panicking at all.
"If you can't escape, go through the window. Let them think we are still resisting and go over there to meet the child."
Mu Qing pushed the wardrobe to block the door and opened the window.
No matter how you look at Mu Qing's series of actions, you won't think that he can't see. He was forced to be blocked here.
Everyone was in a daze, but they still jumped out of the window and climbed over the wall.
When they arrived at the back door, they could still hear the noisy sound behind them.
"Did you guess that he would take action?"
Fang Wu followed behind Mu Qing and asked.
"They have been planning it from the beginning," Mu Qing said,
As he spoke, he slowly sandwiched himself into the crowd, followed their footsteps with his ears and continued to move forward.
After hearing this, Fang Wu thought about it,
Huang Zhong's attitude, as well as the man's attitude, seemed to be diverting attention all the time.
Isn't it enough for them to find out some information from a well-informed top three official and an aunt?
