231 Second Parent
Xia Haisheng smiled bitterly.
"We want to report it! However, the officials did not listen to us at all. Those officials had long been bribed by the landlords. They were colluding. Once we dare to resist, the officials will come looking for us. We're just a bunch of civilians. What can we do ? As long as we still have a little hope, we won't have given up on a peaceful life and become bandits!"
Towards the end, he and his two cousins could not help but tear up. They were clearly desperate and disillusioned.
Yu Niaoniao asked, "Then what about the conscription you mentioned?"
Xia Haisheng calmed down before speaking.
"I'm not sure exactly. All I know is that the Eastern Expedition Army is recruiting. They want a lot of manpower."
Yu Niaoniao looked thoughtful. It was the Eastern Expedition Army again. First, they raised taxes, then annexed large amounts of land. These were all to hoard money and food.
Not only that, they were recruiting.
This was clearly a big move!
Lu Yao clenched his fists.
"What's the name of your local magistrate?"
Xia Haisheng looked puzzled. "I'm just a commoner. How would I know the county magistrate's name? I only know that his surname is Li. Why are you asking this?"
Lu Yao did not answer.
He held his breath.
He had thought that under his father's governance, Liaodong County would prosper.
Unexpectedly, the officials below actually dared to deceive their superiors and collude with the local gentry!
When he returned home, he would definitely tell his father what had happened here and let his father punish those corrupt officials!
The villagers of Xia Village returned quickly.
They placed the patients they had brought in the shade.
Dang Gui and Yu Niaoniao brought over a small table. Lo Pingsha sat on the ground behind it and checked the patients' pulses one by one.
Probably because Lo Pingsha had a baby face and looked like a half-grown child, those patients had some doubts about his medical skills.
It was not until Lo Pingsha told them their condition by taking their pulses that they believed that the young man in front of them was really capable.
Lo Pingsha spent an hour seeing all the patients.
He wrote a prescription for everyone and used herbs that were cheaper and more common.
The patients held the prescriptions as if they were treasures.
Regarding this, Xia Haisheng was both happy and sad. He was happy that the villagers' illness was finally treatable. He was sad that they had no money and could not get medicine.
Taking a step back, even if they obtained the medicine and cured the villagers, how would they live in the future? Would they have to continue to live by robbing?
Yu Niaoniao took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Xia Haisheng.
"I can see that you're an opinionated person. Take this money to get medicine for the villagers and buy some food."
"In the future, if you have nowhere to go, you can leave Liaodong County and go to Wangsong City to find the local Magistrate Liu."
Then she took out another letter.
