I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

So many children came out of the haystack?

This scene scared the guards enough.Guerjia's guards hurriedly stood in front of the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, and at the same time sent six guards to check.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense instantly.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen held Yinzhen without a trace, and at the same time looked up and down vigilantly at the five children in front of him: no matter from their clothes, age or appearance, these five children looked like children from ordinary families.

But why such a coincidence?

The area of ​​this county is small, and there are almost no pedestrians on the road when the imperial court cars and horses pass by today.How could several children avoid their families and come out?How could he just hide in the haystack near Yinzhen?The worried Yinzhen decided not to get close until the guard inspection was over.

On the contrary, the five children were calm and composed.

The oldest was a black and skinny boy who came out first, followed by a pudgy boy, then a pair of twin boys, and the youngest was a little girl with braids.

Perhaps because Yinzhen admitted that they were the ones who caught the corrupt officials, these children have a very high degree of affection for Yinzhen and his party.Facing the vigilant guards, they did not fear or resist, and even obediently raised their hands when the guards came up to check one by one.

This is really quite strange.

The six guards checked it from top to bottom, but found nothing abnormal.After looking at each other, the leading guard made a gesture towards Guerjia's guard: the guard is lifted.

Guard Guerjia breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he was not completely relieved, so he whispered to a few cronies around him to check the surroundings carefully - how many children can be hidden in this haystack, what if they hide in other haystacks at this moment?

After the surroundings were confirmed to be correct, Guerjia's guard finally felt relieved.The black and skinny boy muttered a little bored: "You city people are so timid!"

Guard of Guarja: ...

He rolled his eyes to the sky speechlessly, too lazy to say a word to this ignorant brat.

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes.

He tried his best to hold back his smile, and stared at them with a straight face: "Aren't you afraid that we are bad people?"

"He who can catch the dog officer is a good man!" the slightly fat little boy shouted loudly.His words resonated with several children, and they all nodded and grinned loudly: "That's it!"

"...Is this county magistrate very bad?"

"Yeah! Super bad! Wuya's elder sister was arrested by him to be his aunt, but she died within half a year!" The black and thin young man at the beginning stood with his arms around his chest, talking angrily about the county magistrate's bad deeds.

"Yes! He even rushed in and arrested Liangzi's family, saying that they blocked the construction of the road and imprisoned them! It is clear that this dog official has embezzled the money himself, and he wants to force people to do things for free." The twin boys also brushed their faces. opening.

"And Master—" The youngest girl grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands.As soon as she opened her mouth, tears began to roll in her eyes: "Master, he..."

The atmosphere in the arena instantly became heavy.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Yinzhen were keenly aware of the sadness on the faces of the five children in front of them, and their hearts jumped heavily.The fourth elder brother Yinzhen asked in a deep voice: "Who are you talking about as the master?"

"The master is the master! It was the master who discovered the auspicious ears of rice!" Several children replied in unison.

The hearts of fourth elder brothers Yinzhen and Yinzhen sank suddenly.

Thinking of the fat pig county magistrate who presented the auspicious ears of rice, and thinking of the heartbroken children in front of them, the two of them could almost imagine the fate of this 'master'.

Yinzhen gradually clenched her hands that were by her side.

His voice was hoarse and weak: "... your master...is he dead?"

"No."

"It's a pity... hey?" Yinzhen opened his eyes wide suddenly: "Your master is not dead? Then why are you crying...?"

"Can we not cry?"

The black and thin boy replied without hesitation: "Our master is a very good man. He is a master who went from Jiangnan to the capital to catch the exam. But when he passed by us, he suddenly became seriously ill and missed the exam, so he decided to stay here for us. Teaching. We are all children of peasant households, and we also know that education is expensive, and those who can learn to read are the young masters of wealthy businessmen and officials..."

After a pause, the black and skinny boy continued sullenly: "More than that, even the auspicious ears of rice were discovered by the master, and he rushed to the yamen to tell the dog officer! But the dog officer not only forcibly removed the ears of rice from the ground, Pull it up, and... and..."

Yinzhen stared at the black and thin boy intently.

He was restless like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously wanting to know the current situation of this master.Seeing that the black and thin boy held back for a long time without saying a word, he hurriedly urged: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly! Ben...I'm going to die of anxiety!"

"Master's leg was broken by the yamen servant sent by the dog official, and half of his face was injured when he rolled down the hill." Hei thin young man replied in a youthful voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat boy immediately said: "My father said that the master will not be able to take the exam and become an official!"

"Yes! It doesn't matter if the master comforts us like this... He said that he will go to the imperial examination after recovering from his injuries, and that he can meet the emperor to punish this dog official if he gets the Jinshi exam...but..." the black and thin boy said sullenly.

"My parents also said that the master can't be an official anymore."

"Obviously the master is so good...that big villain can be an official, but a good man like the master can't be, it's too unfair!"

A few children said each sentence to each other.

The more they talked, the more depressed they became, and they didn't notice the shock on the faces of the people in front of them for a while.

There was a bit of bitterness in the mouths of Yinzhen and Yinzhen.

Thinking that someone knew the importance of this auspicious ear of rice in the first place, and thinking that someone planned to report the matter of this ear of rice in the first place... The two of them could only wish to cut this fat pig magistrate into pieces!

"...It's a pity." Yinzhen sighed.

"It's not a pity." Yinzhen interrupted the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's words.The moment Yinzhen's surprised eyes turned to him, Yinzhen said word by word: "At least this Juren is still there, and let us know that there are people who are working hard as hard as they can among ordinary people."

Yinzhen:……

He couldn't help laughing, and nodded emphatically: "What Brother Nine said is that it's a good thing to know such a far-sighted Juren."

The two brothers looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Yinzhen looked at the five downcast peasant children: "Your master didn't lie to you!"

"……what?"

"Now the imperial court has stipulated that people with disabilities can be officials even if their faces are damaged. Your master can still refer to the imperial examination!" Guerjia guard took a step forward and explained in detail.

A few frowning teenagers were slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes suddenly shone, and the girl with shofar braids jumped forward excitedly, her two little hands tightly grasping the robe of Guerjia's guard: "Uncle, is what you said true?"

"Really, your master should also know that to comfort you like this?" Yinzhen replied with a smile.

Since last year, Kangxi has decreed that people with disabilities can participate in the imperial examination.It’s just that people with acquired disabilities are a minority after all. As for people with congenital disabilities, they are even rarer. The small number of people who participated in the imperial examination made this imperial decree not cause much trouble at all, and many students were very grateful. After all, who knows if it will Is there a natural or man-made disaster?

Even the county magistrate thought that breaking his face and legs would kill a Juren, not to mention the five children from rural farmers and their families. Naturally, he was not aware of the changes in the imperial court's decree in the past two years.

Under the explanations of Yinzhen, Yinzhen and Guerjia's guards in turn, the children finally realized that their master had not lied to them, and that their own worries had been wrong all along.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the children are shining brightly.

They jumped up one after another, cheering and shouting excitedly. The younger twin boys and the shofar girl ran away: "I'm going to find the master!"

"I am coming too!"

"Wait for me--!"

Even if the auspicious ears of rice were not found, even seeing this scene was enough to make Yinzhen, Yinzhen and the guards smile softly on their faces.

"Hey hey hey——Wu Geng, hurry up and watch them!" The black and thin boy was at the back.While yelling at the fat boy to catch up, he turned his head and looked at Yinzhen and his party: "You guys also go with us! There are many auspicious ears of rice, except for the ones that were pulled out by the county magistrate, the others It's all at the master's place!"

Yinzhen's pupils suddenly tightened.

Yinzhen and the guards also showed expressions of horror.

Not just one... auspicious ear of rice?

Immediately, a huge surprise emerged in everyone's heart!

Guerjia's guard's complexion changed slightly.

He stepped forward to stop Brother Jiu who wanted to follow, and whispered in his ear: "Master, will there be... cheating?"

If a pair of ears of rice can be used as auspicious, you can know how rare it is... Is it really possible that there will be many?

"...If there are so many rice with one stalk and two ears, then even if there is a pit ahead, I will jump in and have a look!" Yinzhen said in a deep voice.

Of course, this is with the power potion as its backing.

Yinzhen's straightforward words also shocked Yinzhen, he clenched his fists: "Yes! Guards of Guerjia... you send someone back to inform the second brother of the prince, and immediately send someone to follow up."

If there are really so many rice with one stalk and two ears, it needs to be protected immediately and sent back to the capital.If it's really a trap...he can only give up his life to accompany the ninth brother to break through!

The masters made up their minds.

Guerjia's guards could only bite the bullet and go up.He sent two trusted guards to inform His Royal Highness, and on the other side surrounded by two young masters, followed the black and thin boy to the mountain.

Not long after gone.

The surrounding area has become a towering jungle, looking up, there are only fragments of sunlight falling from the gaps in the leaves, and it is a different world from the country trail just now.

Guarja's guards continued to be vigilant.

He would not be surprised if there were some robbers popping up around such a forest. The guards of Guarja sent several guards to either explore the way ahead or observe on the left and right sides.

The black and thin boy was a little speechless.

He glanced at Yinzhen and Yinzhen in surprise, his lips twitched but he didn't speak.As for the other children who were still young, they didn't notice the guards' every move at all, but ran in front of them laughing and joking.

It took a full cup of tea.

The black and thin boy pointed to the end of the corridor in front of him: "It's here! The master's home is right in front of you!"

Everyone quickened their pace.

The moment they walked out of the woods, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and the open space in front of them filled with sunlight instantly filled everyone's field of vision, making everyone squint their eyes.

Wait until the halo fades.

Yinzhen and the others looked around curiously: what appeared in front of them was a hut with white walls and blue tiles surrounded by a circle of low stone walls.It’s just that it looks good from a distance, but when you look closer, you’ll find that the place has been out of repair for a long time, and the white paint is mottled and the bricks and stones are peeling off. Only the neatly placed objects, vases, tables and chairs can tell that there are still people living here.

A round-headed orange cat was lying lazily on the wall.

The girl with shofar braids leaned over while imitating meowing, stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed the orange cat. The orange cat made a thin purring sound, lazily spread its belly and let the girl rub it.

Of course, after discovering that Yinzhen and his party had also walked over, the orange cat sat up straight in an instant.It shook its fur, walked to the corner with mighty and domineering steps, and stared at Yinzhen intently.

Yinzhen: ...?

He tilted his head subconsciously, and in the next second he saw the chubby orange cat suddenly leaping towards Yinzhen, and it fell straight on his face.

Yinzhen: ...? ? ?

No, I can't breathe! ! !
