Chapter 2002 The tenant who cannot survive

"is that so?"

The servant of the Cui family scratched the hair on the back of his head with his hand, feeling that something was not right.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the rebel camp outside Xiaosongji has withdrawn its troops.

"What time is it?" After finishing his meal, Cui Guang wiped his mouth with a piece of silk cloth, took out a pipe from his pocket, pinched some tobacco and put it in, took out a fire stick, lit it, and took a deep breath.

White smoke slowly spit out from his mouth.

Tobacco has been around for a long time, but due to transportation and the lack of large-scale promotion, only people in a small number of areas smoke.

However, in recent years, the vigorous promotion of Tiger Character Flag and the characteristics of tobacco have made many people accept tobacco and tools such as tobacco pouches, pots, and pipes made by Tiger Character Flag.

It was only in the past two years that Cui Guang learned to smoke dry tobacco.

Every time when you are in a bad mood, if you take a puff of cigarettes, you will feel much better, and you will gradually become inseparable from it.

"It's still early. The master can't rest now. It's better for the second young master to wait and go back." The servant of the Cui family said with a smile.

Like a mirror in his heart, he knew that the other party did not want to see Mr. Cui.

Cui Guang took a puff from his cigarette holder and said, "Then wait a little longer. I will go back when the old man goes to bed, so that I don't have to look at the old man's stinky face."

The servant of the Cui family who was accompanying him had a sly smile on his face.

When my son scolds me, he, a servant, should just shut up and stop messing around.

"Want a sip?" Cui Guang handed the pipe in his hand to the servant of the Cui family.

The servant of the Cui family quickly shook his head and said, "Young master, I don't know how to do it. Second young master, you'd better smoke it yourself!"

Very few people who don't smoke like the smell of cigarettes. He can't understand why masters and young masters like this kind of thing so much.

"He is also unlucky." Cui Guang took back his pipe, took a big sip, and slowly blew out white smoke from his mouth.

For smokers, smoking is a kind of enjoyment. As for what they enjoy, I'm afraid the smokers themselves don't know.

Seeing that Cui Guang was smoking, Cui Guang was in a much better mood, and he said cautiously from the side: "Second Young Master, after thinking about it, I still feel that something is not right. In the rebel camp, except for one soldier who left during the day,

In addition to the horses, there are still many soldiers and horses left behind, and it doesn’t look like they are retreating and leaving our Xiao Songji.”

"Didn't I say we'll see it tomorrow?" Cui Guang sounded impatient.

In his opinion, although the rebels are not good people, they should have some credibility after accepting the money. The bandits on the mountain also know that they will not attack the passing caravans again after accepting the passing money.

The moon is above the treetops, and the sky is getting later and later.

Here at the fort wall, the tenants huddled together to keep each other warm, with hay spread under their bodies and their clothes tightly wrapped around their bodies. However, Cui's servants and servants were in better conditions, and there was an extra bonfire on the ground.

The bonfire required burning wood, so the tenants naturally did not receive this treatment.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master!" Cui's servant gently shook Cui Guang, who was sleeping soundly, with his hand.

Cui Guang pulled up his robe and said confusedly: "What's wrong? The rebels are coming?"

"The rebels didn't come." The servant of the Cui family shook his head and then said, "It's too late. The second young master should go back early to rest. The master is almost asleep now."

After hearing this, Cui Guang took out his right hand from under his robe, rubbed it hard on his face, then lifted off the robe covering his body and stood up.

"I'll leave this to you. Send someone to tell me immediately if there is any movement from the rebels outside." Cui Guang explained to the servants of the Cui family in front of him.

The servant of the Cui family quickly assured: "Second Young Master, don't worry. The younger one just stayed up all night and kept an eye on the movements of the rebel camp. He will definitely not make any mistakes."

"Well, work hard. When the rebels leave, I will tell the master to reward you." Cui Guang drew a cake for the other party, put on his robe, led the horse, and returned to Cui's house.

It was dark under the fort wall, with only a little light where the long-term workers and servants were.

Someone stirred in the tenant's resting place.

"Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng, are you asleep?" A tenant gently pulled a thin-faced tenant lying on the hay with his hand.

After a few tugs, the thin-faced tenant opened his eyes.

At this time, the man who had woken up the thin-faced tenant waved to him, then turned and walked away.

The thin-faced tenant hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go over and have a look.

Two people left one after another from the crowd of tenant farmers taking a rest.

And just as the two of them left, several other tenants also opened their eyes.

"Is something wrong?" The thin-faced tenant stood behind the other party with his hands folded.

"Do you know the rebels outside Xiao Songji?"

"Are you crazy? You said such a thing." The face of the thin-faced tenant changed and he hurriedly looked around. However, the surrounding area was too dark and he couldn't see too far away, but he could still see clearly within a few steps.

"I'm not crazy."

"I think you are crazy. If what you just said spreads out, the Cui family will never let you go. Even your whole family will be implicated."

"Do the rebels allocate land to every household under their rule?"

"Yes!" The thin-faced tenant nodded.

"If I put the rebels into the earthen fortress, the rebels will allocate land to every household in Xiaosongji, and they will no longer have to be tenants of the Cui family in the future."

The people guarding the west wall of the earthen fort are all tenants of the Cui family.

When the thin-faced tenant heard this, he frowned and said: "The rebels will only divide the fields after they capture our Xiao Song Ji. Now the rebels are still outside the bunker. The Cui family and the Wang family have the final say in Xiao Song Ji.

How could the rebels allocate land to us tenants?"

"I want to put the rebels into the earthen fort and help them capture the earthen fort. If they can't divide the land, I won't ask them for more. I will give me Jia Duofu for as many days as Xiao Songji can share with other people's houses.

Just divide as many fields as you want."

The tenant who brought over the thin-faced tenant was named Jia Duofu, who was also a tenant of the Cui family.

The thin-faced tenant frowned and said: "The rebels outside even have cannons. If they really wanted to attack Xiao Songji, they would have captured it long ago. It has been several days and they have not taken action. It is obvious that the rebels have no intention of attacking."

Collection of Xiaosong."

"That's because there is an earthen fort wall blocking it. As long as I secretly open the fort door and let the rebels in, they can capture Xiao Songji without much effort. They will definitely do such a good thing.

"." Jia Duofu expressed his inner plan.

Hearing this, the thin-faced tenant raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying: "Why don't you understand? It's not that the rebels can't take down Xiao Song Ji, but they don't intend to take down Xiao Song Ji. It's up to you whether to let go of the rebellion or not."

It doesn’t matter if the army marches into the bunker, do you understand?”

"But I want to divide the land!" Jia Duofu stared at the thin-faced tenant and said, "This afternoon, in the name of ensuring the safety of the people in Xiaosongji, the Cui family and the Wang family have begun to ask for food from each household.
