Chapter 1032 Grab the Strong!

After a while, the old head finally came up in one breath, raised his head, and said, "Last night, the county government came again!"

"What? Someone is here again?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, there was an uproar immediately, and a woman stood up, "Elder Gong, someone from the county government is looking for us again, right?"

"quiet!"

The old man beat the ground with the head of his cane a few times, and the scene of nearly a thousand people was immediately held!

It can be seen that in this town, the status and prestige of the elders is still very high.

At this moment, a few more people came out from the ancestral hall. The elders of the three clans surrounded a slightly obese middle-aged man, followed by a few people dressed as soldiers.

The middle-aged man was dressed well, and he seemed to have some power and status. Seeing this man, the villagers were even more afraid to speak, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.

The palace elder just now turned away quickly when he saw this person coming out.

"Fellow folks!"

The middle-aged man stood at the top, puffed out his chest, and said in an official voice, "I think everyone is tired of seeing this county, but there is an order from above, and this county has to come."

As soon as they heard this, everyone knew that there must be nothing good.

"The lord of the country has an order to recruit young and strong men. Our county has nearly 100,000 people. According to the regulations, one out of a hundred will get one thousand people. These days, the county has been busy enough to gather these five thousand strong men. It's so frustrating!"

When the man's voice fell, everyone's faces were ugly, and they knew from the tone that someone was coming.

A bolder old woman said, "Master County, didn't you just come here a few days ago? You took so many people away!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression became a little gloomy.

"Don't blame the county magistrate, women don't understand etiquette!" Seeing that something was wrong, the elder hurriedly said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face was slightly lighter, and he said, "As of today, our Nandao County still has one hundred and three strong men, evenly distributed to nine villages and three towns, and each has to send a dozen people. If your town has a large population, just send out." Ten people!"

"What? Ten people?" Everyone shouted.

"Silence!" Elder Gong shouted.

But this time, everyone seemed to lose their silence, and the old woman yelled again just now, "Lord County Lord, can you tell us what you need so many strong men for?"

"Yeah, there are not many people in our town at all, and if you catch one, you will lose one!"

"What the hell are you going for?"

...

Everyone complained.

Elder Gong shouted for silence a few more times, and then slowly brought the situation under control again.

Immediately, he looked at the middle-aged man, as if he also wanted the middle-aged man to give an explanation.

"You are so bold, you dare to inquire about the matters above?" The middle-aged man immediately scolded, with a lot of authority.

The people below had nothing to say. Although they were not afraid of death, they were afraid of those strange punishments.

At this time, the Elder Gong said, "Honorable County, it is not easy for us. The clan members are getting fewer and fewer. Everyone is anxious. Seeing that the spring plowing is coming soon, the labor force in the town is insufficient. We have awakened some clan members who have been sleeping forever. yes……"

The middle-aged man gave Elder Gong a very unhappy look, and then said to everyone, "You don't have to panic, the young man transferred this time will return in a few days..."

"My lord, you said the same thing last time you came here, but it's been so long, and no one has come back, don't prevaricate us again!"

A voice came from the crowd, and it was unknown who said it.

"Bold!"

The voice of the middle-aged man raised several decibels, and he looked around, "This county is also involuntary, I hope everyone will understand, if the higher-ups want someone, this county has to get someone out, everyone is convenient for me, and I will also be with everyone It's convenient, there are only ten people, not too many for your town!"

Everyone is angry, but they are officials, and they dare not confront them with their courage.

"All males over the age of fifteen, please stand up. The county will choose ten people and leave. I promise that I won't come again in the future!" people.

Everyone rolled their eyes, as if what the county lord said was farting.

But the officials are coercive, and no one dares to disobey. After the palace elder acquiesced, all the men slowly came out.

There were a total of three to four hundred people. After excluding some old people, there were only a hundred people left, and after excluding some thin, sick, and disabled people, after careful selection, there were still about 20 people left.

Du Pont was among them, and like everyone else, he felt miserable. He even felt that he was sad. He just ended his long sleep last night and crawled out of the grave. Today he was arrested as a f***ing young man, which is really unlucky.

God, I hope you don't pick me!

Everyone seems to be praying in this way, including DuPont.

"you you you……"

Sometimes, they come to whatever they are afraid of, and soon, all ten people are picked out by the middle-aged man.

The sad DuPont was indeed selected. He stood out from hundreds of people and became one of the top ten players in Lutou Town. Sadly, he was arrested.

"Okay, just ten of you, and we'll be leaving the county in a while!" The middle-aged man shouted, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.

Everyone can only admit their fate and dare not say more.

"My lord, there are two more here!" At this moment, a soldier called out suddenly.

Crashing, everyone looked for the sound, and there were two people squatting on the big stone at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

DuPont saw it, oh, it's terrible, isn't this Suhang and Haotian?

Let them sleep at home, but they want to follow, this is good, something will happen!

At this moment, Su Hang and Haotian looked at the little soldier pointing at them, feeling a little unhappy. We just came to see the fun, but didn't do anything else.

The county venerable was stunned for a moment, then walked over slowly, looked Su Hang and the two up and down, "You two, why don't you come out?"

His tone was somewhat sullen. When he was selecting the young men just now, these two were not among them.

When Haotian heard this, his eyes widened. The majestic emperor of heaven was scolded by such a mortal. Is there any other law?

Seeing that Haotian was about to run away violently, Su Hang stopped him with his eyes, and immediately suppressed his anger.

Su Hang showed a bit of a smile on his face, "Don't blame me, sir, my ears are not very good, and the distance is too far, so I didn't hear clearly what you are talking about!"

God damn ears are not working well!

After hearing Su Hang's words, the county lord already had a bit of anger on his face, and it was obvious that Su Hang was fooling him.

"What about you? You don't know how to use your ears, don't you?" The magistrate looked at Haotian, with a bit of anger and sarcasm in his words.
