Life is like this sometimes, you never know when the people around you will become famous.
Zhang Tieniu looks like a fool in front of others. It is unexpected that such a guy who can't be beaten with three sticks can actually work for the government.
The fishermen in Qingpu Village hide in their homes and observe every move outside through the window paper.
Good guy, this battle is really big.
They were all inexperienced guys, and they had never thought that one day they would be able to meet so many high-ranking officials.
But when they thought that these officials were probably here to collect taxes, they felt a pang of pain.
"It's difficult...this guy who killed a thousand swords has brought the government here, but what should we do?"
"Bear with it, don't open the door no matter what."
The villagers made up their minds, whether they wanted money or not, they wanted their lives.
They really don’t have any money or food, so how can they have any money?
"Everyone, come out, the imperial envoy is here. The imperial envoy is here to distribute food to us!"
Zhang Tieniu shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Um?"
Are these high officials here to distribute food to them?
real?
And what does this imperial envoy mean?
Why have they never heard of this official name?
Could it be that Zhang Tieniu said this on purpose to lure them out?
Zhang Tieniu murmured in his heart when he saw everyone closing the doors and windows.
He wondered if everyone was afraid that the government was here to collect taxes, right?
But he just explained that the government is here to help everyone.
How can you not believe it?
"What's going on?"
Wan Cishi frowned when he saw this.
"Sir, I'm going to ask."
Zhang Tieniu responded quickly.
He walked to a thatched house, knocked on the door and said, "Old man Li, are you at home?"
There was only silence in response to him.
This time Zhang Tieniu was really a little hairy.
The people he brought to the village today were all big shots. Zhang Tieniu couldn't bear the responsibility of letting these officials wait here and finally failed.
By then, if these high-ranking officials are blamed...
Hiss, Zhang Tieniu didn't dare to think about it, he really didn't dare to think about it.
"Old man Li, please open the door. I am Tieniu, and I have brought you food. The rice is the best rice."
Perhaps the temptation of rice was too great. After a while, the door of Old Man Li's house opened a crack.
Through the crack in the door, Zhang Tieniu could see Old Man Li's somewhat weathered face.
"Old man Li, please open the door. We have brought the food and brought it to your house."
"Tieniu, are you really here to deliver food to us? How could the government be so kind?"
Old Man Li obviously felt a little unbelievable.
"It's the grace of the Imperial Envoy."
Zhang Tieniu swallowed his saliva and replied cautiously: "You open the door first."
Old Man Li hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door.
Zhang Tieniu quickly asked the government officials to bring in the grain.
The yamen servant came in carrying a whole bag of rice and poured the rice directly into the rice vat.
"This... so many meters..."
Seeing that the rice vat that had bottomed out was filled with rice again, Old Man Li swallowed his saliva instinctively.
"You must have been hungry for a long time, Mr. Li. The food that the Imperial Envoy sent you this time is really life-saving food."
"Um…"
Old Man Li's eyes were a little red and he said: "What a good official, what a good official."
Seeing that Old Man Li was so emotional, Zhang Tieniu said quickly: "Don't just sit back and cry, go and help me and tell me. You are highly respected, as long as you speak, they will no longer worry."
People in the Ming Dynasty do not tell secrets, so Zhang Tieniu naturally had nothing to hide in front of Old Man Li and spoke the truth.
"Okay, little old man, let's talk about it now, let's talk about it now..."
Old Man Li said very excitedly.
The head of Qingpu Village went to sea half a month ago and never came back.
Mr. Li is now the oldest person in the entire Qingpu Village.
In this case, as long as he climbs up and shouts, it can indeed have a good effect.
Uncle Li walked tremblingly to the middle of the village and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, come out. Tieniu did bring people from the government to distribute food to everyone. These are all the grace of the imperial envoy."
After what he said, the villagers really let down their guard.
Every house opens its door one after another.
The government officials delivered food to their homes one after another, and the villagers in Qingpu Village were moved for a while.
"God opens his eyes, God really opens his eyes!"
"Tieniu is really promising. He is so close to people in the government."
"There is hope for the days, there is hope."
Zhao Xun is very satisfied with the result. If he wants to get useful information from here, he must first establish a good relationship with the villagers.
Once the relationship between each other becomes familiar, many things will become easier.
"The Imperial Envoy is really a good official who is considerate of the people's sentiments."
Wan Cishi gave him a flattering slap without leaving any trace.
"These are the duties of an official."
Zhao Xun said noncommittally.
Soon all the villagers in the fishing village came out of their houses and came to Zhao Xun. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy, for saving my life. Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy."
Zhao Xun quickly raised his hand and said: "Please get up, everyone. There is no need to thank me. These are what the government should do."
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, you came to Qingpu Village this time not just to distribute food to us, right?"
The respected old man Li was the most experienced. He cleared his throat and asked respectfully.
"Yes, I am here to completely eradicate the stubborn problem that prevents everyone from going to sea."
Zhao Xun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Only when the monsters are eliminated, can everyone go to sea with peace of mind."
"Master Imperial Envoy, this monster comes and goes without a trace. It's not easy for us to catch it."
Old Man Li choked up and said, "Perhaps, we can try, but even if we catch one or two monsters, it won't help."
"This time, I will plow the courtyard and sweep the caves to eradicate the monsters."
Zhao Xun vowed: "Everyone can provide as many clues as possible, and the next matter will be left to me."
Uncle Li saw that although Zhao Xun looked young, he was reliable, so he took a step forward and said, "Well, little old man, let me recite a few words first."
Old Man Li didn't know many clues, only fragmentary ones.
But as soon as he made the beginning, all the villagers in Qingpu Village added to it one after another.
A person's information is fragmented, but when put together, there is something about it.
Zhao Xun was overjoyed when he saw this.
This was far better than he imagined.
Originally, he thought that he would not gain much from coming to Qingpu Village for this purpose, but now it seems that the gain is far more than he originally imagined.
If you continue like this, you will be able to find some clues in a short time, and if you follow the clues, you will definitely find the monster's lair.
