"Shhh..." someone whispered: "You come to someone else's house and say something like this?"
The young man sighed: "I'm not looking for trouble, I'm just jealous. Why are we not from Shoushan Town..."
Mu Yunhan concentrated on listening to what was being said at the other table.
What was said on the other side was: "I heard that the Qi people won again. They conquered six cities and all north of Baojiang fell. I wonder if General Meng can turn defeat into victory..."
Mu Yunhan stood up, went upstairs quietly, sat at the window and looked outside.
But the previously peaceful crowd suddenly became chaotic, with many people running around and many shops closing their doors.
Immediately afterwards, a group of policemen rushed over ferociously, either grabbing the hawker and scolding him, or breaking into the shop and making a loud noise, but avoided the medicinal food hall.
Mu Yunhan called the shopkeeper: "What's going on?"
The shopkeeper sighed: "The front line is tight, the cost is huge, the treasury is empty, and the government has no choice but to plunder it from the people. But where are there so many people? Business is not easy to do. Isn't this what everyone can do?
?”
Mu Yunhan asked: "Are the Medicinal Food Hall and Shoushan Town not included in this list?"
The shopkeeper said: "It is true that the government has never asked. It seems that someone has made trouble before. The county government said that my wife had a lot of friends in the capital, so we got over it here."
Mu Yunhan did take the lead in handing over a lot of money at the beginning of the tax reform. After there was no food in the capital, she handed over a lot of food. In addition to the previous fire in Pucheng, she also paid a lot of money to appease the people.
Even after doing so much, Mu Yunhan didn't think that anyone would take the initiative to remember her kindness and return these benefits to her and the residents of Shoushan Town.
She first thought that Mu An might have obtained these benefits by intimidating the Liuxian County government and using his power for personal gain.
But then he heard what the shopkeeper said: "Peng County Magistrate has been here for many years. Although he is a bit pedantic, he loves the people like a son and has clear rewards and punishments. If there is nothing we can do now, he will not be so unhappy with everyone.
He still remembers that you spent money to repair the county walls and build bridges and roads. It's a pity that many people can't remember these things you did as time goes by, and they only remember them as unfair."
The situation in the world has always been like this. Mu Yunhan didn't pay too much attention and just said: "Peng Wanli is still here?"
The shopkeeper said: "Exactly."
This made Mu Yunhan strange. Peng Wanli was Meng Xiang's disciple. She thought he had been transferred to other places long ago. Who would have thought that he would stay here all the time?
She had a fierce fight with Meng Xiang at that time, but she didn't expect that Meng Xiang's disciples always upheld justice and remembered her kindness.
"Prepare the gift, follow me to the county government office to pay a visit to the county magistrate." Not long after Mu Yunhan gave the order, the shopkeeper ran upstairs: "My boss, my boss, the county magistrate heard that you are here and came to pay a visit.
not see?"
Mu Yunhan came quietly this time, and even Gao Wenshan's family didn't tell her. Peng Wanli actually knew her whereabouts?
She thought for a moment and guessed Peng Wanli's intention: "Please."
Not long after, heavy footsteps were heard on the stairs.
A dry and thin old man was helped up with his waist hunched over. He took a breath every step of the way. When he reached Mu Yunhan, his chest rose and fell violently like a bellows.
Mu Yunhan frowned: "Why is Mr. Peng's body like this?"
"As I get older, I have to work hard and my body is not up to par." Peng Wanli smiled bitterly and was about to salute her. She held her hand and ordered him to sit down: "You're welcome."
