Datang romantic little landlord

As soon as his words came out, all the elders of the Li clan and Li Wangyou were dumbfounded.

"No! This is the property of my Li clan, how can it be resold to others!"

"That's right, the patriarch is willing to exchange a hundred acres of fertile land with you. It's the end of his kindness. The young man of the Li family must not make mistakes!"

Seeing that the old man actually wanted to offer 200 taels of gold, the elders of the Li clan shouted that they would not let him buy it.

Li Wangyou was also a little surprised by the old man's words, so he could only bow to the old man: "Old man, thank you for your love, but the hundred acres of fertile land that the Li clan said was originally owned by my family. The boy is not filial. He promised to return the family property to the clan before. It’s too late to regret. Since the clan is willing to exchange these fields, the boy can only agree to them, and please forgive me.”

After finishing speaking, he said to the members of the Li family: "There is no proof in words, but evidence in writing."

Seeing that Li Wangyou actually agreed to the exchange, the patriarch and elders of the Li clan were overjoyed and hurriedly agreed to his request.

It takes no effort to get such a treasure, how can we not make them happy.The elders of the clan have already pondered in their hearts how to maximize the benefits of these two colorful ropes, so that the Li family in Hu County can become the head of the Tang family.

He found a pen and paper, and made a written statement in front of him, expressing his willingness to exchange Li Wangyou's [-] acres of fertile land for the colorful rope in Li Wangyou's hand.

After the patriarch signed it and handed it to him, Li Wangyou threw the colorful rope in his hand to them.

Seeing that the two parties have completed the exchange, the old man can only sigh helplessly: "Surrender! Xiaolang, why are you doing this? A hundred acres of fertile land is only worth 30 million yuan, and 200 taels of gold is 120 million yuan. You can buy it for five or six hundred yuan. acres of land."

"Hey, old man, people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, and everything in the world will catch the cicada, the boy is content." Li Wangyou said with a smile.

"The man's heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the world is full of things..." The old man was a little surprised. He repeated it several times, and his eyes burst into light: "What a man's heart is not enough to swallow the snake! Xiaolang, the old man is still a young man!" I see you!"

Li Wangyou didn't expect the old man to agree with the common sayings that everyone in the later generations would be used to, his face was slightly red, did he accidentally plagiarize again?

Seeing that the elders of the Li clan gathered around the patriarch to admire the two "magic objects" of multicolored ropes, Li Wangyou smiled brightly, and took out another multicolored rope from his arms and handed it to the old man.

"Old man, there is still a five-colored rope here, so I can give it to the old man. It is a thank you to the old man for protecting it today."

His words were deliberately loud, causing the elders of the Li clan to look up in astonishment and look at the colorful rope in his hand.

And colorful rope?

Is it also a treasure that is invulnerable to water and fire, avoids diseases and eliminates ghosts, does not catch diseases and plagues, and cannot be burned without the three flavors of real fire?

The old man was also stunned, pointing at the colorful rope in Li Wangyou's hand, he was speechless for a long time.

Li Wangyou chuckled, lit the colorful rope with the torch in his hand, and hung it on the door knocker by the roadside.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the colorful rope burned for a long time without breaking.Li Wangyou stepped forward to extinguish the flame, and sure enough, the colorful rope in his hand was still intact.

Another fetish?

When did this fetish become the same as the womb in the field?Also buy one get one free?

Seeing everyone stunned, Li Wangyou took out a handful of colorful ropes from his pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand: "Old man, this is a worthless thing, take it back and burn it for your grandchildren to play with."

023 Li's Complaint

The old man was also confused by Li Wangyou, he couldn't believe it when he saw the colorful rope that Li Wangyou stuffed into his hand: "These are all treasures that are invulnerable to fire and water?"

Li Heng also had a look of astonishment, he couldn't believe why his lord took out so many colorful ropes.As for the elders of the Li clan, they stood there in a daze, speechless.

Li Wangyou chuckled: "Haha, what a treasure, I just bought it from a peddler. It's a worthless gadget. I bought it for a penny."

"What?" The old man shook his head: "Then why does the fire keep burning?"

Li Wangyou pointed to the tofu shop by the road, and said with a smile: "After these colorful ropes are soaked in the salt brine used to make tofu in the tofu shop, they will not be afraid of fire for a while. If the old man is interested, he can find a rope to go try."

"This..." The old man and Li Heng were both dumbfounded. The miraculous object before was actually an ordinary rope soaked in brine?

The old man suddenly cast his eyes on the five-colored rope that was still tightly held by the patriarch of the Li clan: "Could it be that Master Zhengdao..."

"Hey, that monk's tricks are pretty good." Li Wangyou looked at the colorful rope in the old patriarch's hand and smiled very happily.

"Trick? Is the Master of the Righteous Path a fake?"

"I don't know if it's a fake monk or not, but his Tathagata palms are really nothing more than tricks."

Hearing Li Wangyou's explanation, the patriarchs of the Li clan were greatly stimulated.Annoyed and ashamed, a clan elder was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out directly.

After panicking and asking the servants to send the fainted clan elder to a doctor, a group of clan elders surrounded Li Wangyou directly.

"You!" The old patriarch of the Li clan pointed at Li Wangyou with trembling fingers, panting heavily: "Since you know that the monk is a fake, why didn't you expose him?"

"Why should I expose him?" Li Wangyou asked strangely: "Am I familiar with you?"

"Okay, what a ruthless young man of the Li family! This old man is going to the county government to sue you! That monk must be working with you to cheat my Li clan!"

"It's so ridiculous. Just now, almost all the people in Hu County saw what happened. Why do you say that I and the monk are in the same boat?"

"You...you just used that broken rope to cheat a hundred acres of land! How dare you deny it?"

Li Wangyou didn't argue, and directly shook the contract in his hand at them.

"When did I deceive you? You forced me to exchange it with you. It's clearly written in black and white. Don't spit on people."

Li Wangyou's words made the patriarchs and elders of the Li clan stunned. Thinking about it carefully, Li Wangyou really didn't say what kind of fetish his colorful rope was, let alone what it was useful for. He just used words to mislead took them.

"What an eloquent tongue! The old man won't argue with you, go, go to the county government to make it clear, and let Yang Mingfu decide!"

After realizing that he had been duped, there was no trace of the monk who claimed to be righteous, so a group of clan elders held onto Li Wangyou and insisted on going to the county government to meet the officials together.

Naturally, Li Wangyou was neither afraid nor resisted, and followed them to the county government.Li Heng was afraid that his husband would be bullied, so he naturally trotted all the way to follow, and soon only the old man and his old servant were left behind.

"Master, are you still going to the county government office?"

"Hehe, of course I'm going. This Xiaolang is interesting, but you can't let those old bastards bully you. Da Yu, bring the ox cart over, and we'll go to the county government."

"Yes."

In the county government of Hu County, Yang Zuan was admiring the poem written by Li Wangyou in the public room.However, the yamen servants came to report that the Li clan in Hu County brought the Li family Xiaolang to sue, saying that Li Wangyou and others defrauded Li's money.

Yang Zuan couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, he only came back from Li's house in the morning, why did this happen not long after noon?

Ask the yamen servant to invite the county magistrate, and Yang Zuan immediately ascends to the hall to question the case.

In the county system of the Tang Dynasty, officials were composed of county magistrates, county magistrates, master books and county lieutenants.The so-called "one order and three assistants" refers to the county magistrate as the main, the county magistrate, the master book and the county lieutenant as assistants.

Needless to say, the county magistrate is equivalent to the county magistrate of later generations, but with greater power.

The county magistrate is the deputy of the county magistrate, which is equivalent to the position of the deputy county magistrate, and the master is roughly equivalent to the secretary general of the modern county office.

The county lieutenant is responsible for governing the officials and hunting down thieves, which is equivalent to the director of the county public security bureau in later generations.

Since the Li family accused Li Wangyou of fraud, it is natural that the county lieutenant is required to participate in the resolution of the case.
