The cannon fodder female supporting role is about to counterattack again

Chapter 653 Fragrant Road Mission Continues 58
Protecting Qi Wan's siblings and the members of the Hu family is the business of Dark Moon Hall, which is like a job, so Wei Ying never talks to Qi Wan.

Now that Qi Wan asked, Wei Ying replied truthfully: "It's true that it's not peaceful here, but our house will be fine."

Just kidding, all the people in the Dark Moon Hall are trained according to the dead, if the safety of even a house cannot be guaranteed, wouldn't it be too useless?
Qi Wan nodded and felt relieved. Grandma's family is her mother's family, and she must ensure their safety.

Over there, Qi Shengfei and the workers had a short rest, Qi Shengfei said a few words to his son, and then called his daughter over.

"Father." Qi Wan was very obedient in front of Qi Shengfei.

Although Qi Shengfei knew that his daughter was very thoughtful, he still treated her like a child.

Who could have any suspicions against a cute and cute little girl?

"I heard that the streets are not peaceful recently, you and Feier try not to come out." Qi Shengfei was with the workers these days, so he naturally knew the situation in the county.

Qi Wan pondered for a while, and asked, "Father, have you ever thought about why this county is not peaceful?"

"Taxes are too heavy, and people have to live." Qi Shengfei has been eating and living with the common people in the past few years, and he is no longer the prince who is rich and well-clothed but does not eat the fireworks of the world.

He knows how the people live.

"The tax is so heavy, the situation will only get worse, has my father ever thought about playing it?" Qi Wan asked again.

"This..." Qi Shengfei hesitated.

After Qi Shengmian came to the throne, he was strictly forbidden to enter the capital, and even demoted to a commoner.

How can a commoner submit a memorial?
"Father, heavy taxes will only make the people suffer more and more. If you really care about them, you should find a way to make the emperor change the current rules instead of studying in a school."

Qi Shengfei's idea is good, to give children from poor families a skill to make ends meet.

But the problem is, now that the tax is so heavy, no matter what you do, you can't earn any money, and you still can't eat enough in the end.

"Doing it is better than doing nothing. As for the notebook... I don't want to have any interaction with the front hall." Qi Shengfei pondered for a long time, but in the end he still didn't think about the problem according to Qi Wan's thinking.

Probably because he didn't want to continue this topic, Qi Shengfei exchanged some pleasantries, and then went to the workers again.

Qi Wan was really depressed. She originally wanted to remind Qi Shengfei from the taxation incident that if she wanted to change the current situation of the people, she could only take Qi Shengmian's seat and change it fundamentally.

But looking at Qi Shengfei's attitude, he was not even willing to write a memorial, let alone ask him to do anything else.

Qi Wan couldn't hide a loss in her heart.

She really didn't know what happened to her father and mother, one was willing to be an ordinary person like this, while the other not only didn't show up, but even persuaded her to give up.

"Sister, don't be too sad. Mother said that the heights are extremely cold, we just want to be happy together as a family." Qi Fei noticed that his sister was unhappy, so he comforted her.

"Hey--"

Qi Wan sighed softly, stroked Qi Fei's forehead, and said, "This is the only way to go now."

……

That night, not long after the Hu family lay down, there was a sudden noise outside the yard.

Mrs. Hu was awakened by the barking of dogs.

The rest of the Hu family also got up from the bed, and gathered in the front hall with some panic.

"Go back to the old lady, someone delivered a letter outside the door." The housekeeper came in with a letter.

a letter? !
The Hu family members were puzzled. It's just a letter delivery, so it wouldn't be so noisy outside, right?
Hearing the cries and barking of dogs outside, it seemed like there was a war.

However, this night, none of the Hu family members expressed their thoughts, they were all quietly watching the housekeeper hand over the letter to the old lady.

The old lady Hu asked the nanny who was serving beside her to read it, only to see that the nanny's hands trembled after reading it, and then said a few words in the old lady Hu's ear.

In the next second, the teacup that Mrs. Hu just picked up in her hand fell to the ground.

"Old lady, what's the matter?" Mrs. Hu asked anxiously.

Old Madam Hu didn't speak, and gave Qi Shengfei the letter in her hand.

The Hu family came to Jiangcheng, but Hu Hanshan did not come with him because of his official position. Hu Yuanhui is now the nominal boss of Xiangtuju, so it is impossible for him to stay in Jiangcheng County all the time.

So today, Qi Shengfei is the only one in the Hu family who can take matters into his own hands.

"How unreasonable! Is this too much?" Qi Shengfei clenched the letter in his hand into a ball.

Hu held the child in her arms and didn't dare to ask any more questions, but could only watch all this in horror.

Soon the knock on the door appeared again, and before the housekeeper ran to open the door, someone outside shouted: "Open the door immediately, or we will shoot arrows!"

As soon as the words fell, the second arrow landed steadily at the old lady's feet.

Mrs. Hu's face turned pale immediately. Although she didn't scream like her daughter-in-law, she was really frightened.

Qi Shengfei stood up, gritted his teeth and walked out.

Now that the two pillars of the Hu family are gone, if he doesn't stand up, will the old lady or the Hu family stand up?
Qi Shengfei ordered the butler to open the door, and saw that the outside was lit by torches as bright as day, and he didn't know how many people were standing there.

Standing at the head was a masked man in black, with a pair of exposed eyes that were extremely cold.

Qi Shengfei shuddered when he saw this man's eyes.

"What exactly do you want?" Qi Shengfei asked with clenched fists.

"Hand over all the food and silver." The masked man in black replied outside the door.

Qi Shengfei was stunned for a moment, and quickly said angrily: "How can you be so bold? Are you not afraid of us reporting to the police? Lawless!"

"Heh—" the man in black was very disdainful, and even said arrogantly: "How about I ask you to send a servant to report to the city?"

"Okay! Do you dare?" Qi Shengfei hurriedly used the aggressive method.

He felt that these gangsters were all powerful and brainless people, and if he succeeded in mobilizing them, he might be able to change the current situation.

The man in black chuckled again and said, "Okay, let one person go out."

Qi Shengfei immediately explained a few words to the butler, and then asked the butler to lead a horse and leave.

Fearing that the man in black would repent, Qi Shengfei stood at the door and watched the butler's horse disappear before he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he was a little curious and asked, "Are you really going to let him report to the police?"

Shouldn't they be stopped on the road?

The man in black sneered: "Well, I'll wait for him for half an hour. It's very fast from the city."

Although the Hu family lived in the county seat, it was very close to Jiangcheng.

If you come and go on horseback, you can't use a cup of tea.

Half an hour is more than enough time to report to the official.

Qi Shengfei probably didn't expect this gangster to be so generous, and he wasn't sure what he meant.

In the silence, Qi Shengfei tentatively asked, "What if I don't pay the money and food?"

"Then those people outside will be buried with you!" the man in black said ruthlessly.
