Even as he lay dying, his former beloved called him a poor wretch!Looking back……Bah, it's better not to look back."Uncle, do they want a dowry" Yang Lin asked.Zhao Fugui glared at Yang Lin: "What nons...Zhong Tao continued, "But you know this kind of thing isn't so easy to accomplish! Neither my uncle nor I could figure it out, that's why we came back to you to see if you have any ideas."

Yang Lin couldn't help but frown.

This matter is about as he guessed.

But at this moment, Yang Lin did not speak immediately. The corner of his eye still kept an eye on Kong Qiu and his four disciples standing aside.

Immediately, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the four master and apprentices.

Kong Qiu, Chu Jie, and Ma Ru Yun's expressions were just strange and doubtful, while the middle-aged man with a national character face named Yu Zhong had anger on his face!

Seeing the other person's expression, Yang Lin took a deep breath and said, "Alas! There is nothing I can do about this. Who would be willing to go to the front lines when conscripted as a civilian soldier Forcing people leads to families being destroyed, homes in ruin, wives separated from husbands, and children lost. Besides, it's five hundred people! It's impossible!"

Yang Lin waved his hands repeatedly.

"As for ten thousand stone of grain, that's even more difficult!"

“It is hard for the common people, every grain of food is saved by enduring hunger and hardship. Food is not abundant to begin with, taking away these ten thousand bushels will cost them their lives!”

Both Zhao Fugui and Zhong Tao were dumbfounded.

What's the situation

In their minds, no matter what happens, Yang Lin can always find a solution.

Now, how can you even think about it without thinking and just say no

What will they do

Both were stunned.

Just then, Yu Zhong spoke with a cold face: "Little brother, you don't need to probe me and the others. I can indeed help with this matter. The people are suffering, and... I am well aware of it myself! But now that the imperial edict has been issued, even if I can help you and spare your land, I cannot help the people in other regions!"

"If you truly have compassion for the common people, I... have a way. It's rather dangerous, though, and I wonder if you have the courage to take this risk for their sake and perhaps secure a path to survival"

Yu Zhong's deep gaze swept over Yang Lin, his eyes twinkling with cunning.

A light flashed in Yang Lin's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed to Zhong: "On behalf of the common people, I would like to thank you greatly... Mr. Zhong! Please just give your orders, as long as it doesn't require my life, I, Yang Lin, am willing to fight for a path to survival for the people!"

"Good!"

Yu Zhongmi narrowed his eyes and said, "I also know a little about what happened in the south. Now that the rebel king has been trapped within Yong'an County, there is a lack of food supplies in Yong'an City. Without sending a single soldier, within a month or so, the rebel king will surely surrender!"

“This conscription of civilians and grain requisition, the court is unaware, and furthermore, the army along the way has ample supplies of food and provisions, so there's absolutely no need to requisition civilians everywhere. Therefore, I believe that someone is trying to profit from this scheme! They may even have ulterior motives!”

At this point, Yang Lin's eyes lit up.

As for the solution, it's very simple. Currently, Yong'an City's military affairs are still under the jurisdiction of Suizhou Prefecture, and I have some connections with the governor of Suizhou Prefecture. As long as I write a letter of leave, you deliver this letter to the governor of Suizhou Prefecture, requesting him to send back the conscripted laborers and the requisitioned grain. That way, the matter will be resolved.

"That's just it, you messenger are very dangerous!"

Yu Zhong spoke,饒有興趣地看著楊林，似是起了考教之心，隨口問道：“Do you know where the danger lies”

Yang Lin let out a wry smile: "Cutting off someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents! Mr. Yu is a big shot, those corrupt officials who want to take advantage of the situation and line their own pockets can't afford to mess with Mr. Yu, so they had to use me, the messenger, as a scapegoat."

"Besides, this could very well be the work of the governor of Suizhou! Such a major matter involving the movement of troops across three states and dozens of counties - I can't believe he wouldn't know about it! If I go to him with my message, it'll be like slapping him in the face. How could he possibly let me off easy"

This matter definitely involves a lot of powerful people. Since you moved someone's cake, they will naturally hate you deeply.

A look of admiration shone in Yu Zhong's eyes, and he nodded approvingly.

"Not bad! You're a promising young man with a bright future!" However, Yang Lin quickly said, "So Mr. Yu, it's no problem for me to deliver the message, but I need to know, is your face enough"

Yang Lin asked the most important question he had.

What could he do for the poor people

But to die for it... that's a different story!

No matter what, your own life is the most important!

This is not selfishness. If you can't even save yourself, how can you save others

Hahaha!

Yu Zhong let out a hearty laugh, stroked his beard and said: "Little friend, rest assured, my face is definitely enough! Just deliver this letter to the governor, he won't harm you openly at least."

But can you live to come back...

Yu Zhong sighed and shook his head. “It all depends on your fate!”

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The other party knows how deep the water is here, and also knows that the person sending this message will provoke the anger of corrupt officials.

If you go, who knows how many hidden dangers might be waiting for you!

Knowing full well the risk of death…

Yang Lin definitely won't go!

At this point, even Zhong Tao understood the situation. He hurriedly said to his master, "Master, this is too dangerous! You can't go! Leave the task of sending the message to me. My life is cheap. If I can truly save these people, they are welcome to take my life!"

However, as soon as Zhong Tao finished speaking, the two of them flatly refused.

"No!"

"No!"

Yu Zhong sternly said, "This letter is very important. I trust no one else but this young friend with it!"

Yang Lin retorted, "Tao Ge, life is not about high or low status. Everyone's life is equal! I can't risk it, and you shouldn't just throw your life away like this!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yu Zhong's eyes: "So, Brother Yang knows there's danger and doesn't plan on going"

Yang Lin shook his head. "I can certainly go, but I have another way."

"Oh" Yu Zhong asked in confusion, "What other way is there"

"Let's all go together!" Yang Lin said with a smile.

Yu Zhong's face changed color.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Since Mr. Yu has face with the State Governor, instead of bringing a letter, why not have Mr. Yu go himself That would be more persuasive. For the sake of the people, I believe Mr. Yu wouldn't refuse, right"

Yu Zhong furrowed his brow.

The reason he wanted Yang Lin to deliver the message was because he knew that even if he went himself, there would be danger!

He can disregard life and death, but as a teacher, how can he take such risks

Yu Zhongzheng wanted to refuse, but Kong Qiu beside him burst into laughter: “Good! What a good point, little brother. Human life is equal, it’s better not to kill people.”

"Xiaozhong, since we are traveling the world, our goal is to journey thousands of miles and see all that it has to offer! Yong'an City is quite bustling right now, so we might as well take a trip there!"nelt on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.Some people knelt, and the remaining momentum vanished in an instant. The rest of them also dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.Seeing...
