Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu really couldn't understand what Li Zheng meant. He obviously wanted the money in her bag, but his refusal was unambiguous.

"If that's the case, then I'll go to the town to write an official document and come back."

Jiang Lianzhu only hesitated for a while, then left with the bag of copper coins.

She didn't notice the gnashing of teeth and secretly happy expression on Rizheng's face behind her.

Going to town to do errands was time-consuming, so Jiang Lianying didn't leave on the same day, but went the next morning.

She knew nothing about this matter, and Li Zheng had always been vague. She only knew that she had to go to the government to negotiate the matter.

Jiang Lianzhu walked half a circle on the street. While picking things up on the roadside, she chatted with a few vendors and learned about the location of the government office and the basic procedures for doing things.

She walked all the way around and finally stopped outside a magnificent mansion. There were two stone lions standing on both sides, and two soldiers standing guard on each side. It looked like the security was extremely tight.

"who?"

The soldier stopped Jiang Lianzhu as soon as she approached, exuding a strong murderous aura.

"I'm here to buy land from Mr. Guan. I wonder if these guys can be accommodating?"

Jiang Lianzhu had a thick smile on her face, and the few soldiers who looked at her looked a little fascinated. After a few pretentious interrogations, they called someone out from inside and brought her in.

As the summoned Manager Li entered the government office, Jiang Lianzhu had been quietly looking at the surrounding environment.

This mansion obviously spent some money to build it. The decoration inside is full of pride. There are so many maids coming and going, they are estimated to be worth half the village.

Jiang Lianzhu clicked her tongue as she watched. She didn't expect that the government in a town could pretend like this. Wouldn't the people in the county town want to go to heaven?

"Girl, don't look around when you enter. After finishing your work, go out honestly and don't stay in there too long."

Manager Li obviously saw her eyes darting around, and said something in a cold voice, followed by a few sneers, as if he was mocking her for not seeing the world.

"Yes."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't like this person from the bottom of her heart, and she also felt that the atmosphere in the government was weird.

But the focus of her visit this time was to get things done on the ground, not to get involved in those things. There were too many and there was really no need to look at them.

Manager Li took Jiang Lianzhu to the side hall, gave her a few instructions and left her alone to wait for the official to come. He immediately disappeared.

Jiang Lianzhu sat on the chair and waited obediently. After waiting for almost half an hour, she finally saw a man wearing a blue official uniform walking slowly in, followed by a man who looked very strange from a distance. look familiar.

"Are you the one who wants to take over a piece of land?" The official frowned immediately when he saw Jiang Lianzhu.

He originally thought it was some man from the village, but he didn't expect such a frail woman to show up. Her clothes were unremarkable, so she probably didn't come from a wealthy family.

"It's me, not just the official, what do you mean?" Jiang Lianzhu stood up from the chair. She happened to notice the man standing beside her, who happened to be Liao Yunchuan.

It’s really a bad fate.

Jiang Lianzhu immediately turned her head away, but Liao Yunchuan seemed not to notice her emotions at all, and raised his eyebrows particularly comfortably.

"The land to the east of your village has been claimed for a long time, so it's not your turn."

The official replied directly and waved his hand at her as if he was impatient.

"Obviously we haven't heard anything about it before, but now we're saying that someone has already claimed this land?"

Jiang Lianzhu was a little unhappy in her heart. She still maintained her respect on the surface, but she sounded like she was breaking the casserole and asking for the truth.

The official didn't seem to expect that she could continue to ask him questions. His thick eyebrows raised slightly: "This matter is not your responsibility, why do you need to know?"

"This is indeed the truth, but there are regulations in the county that the land in the village can only be leased to people in the village. No family in our village has the intention to lease the land, so what is going on with this land now? What's going on?"

Jiang Lianzhu directly moved out the county's regulations.

What she said was not nonsense, but everything written in black and white.

The official didn't expect this person to be so difficult to deal with. He kicked him on the chair nearby and his expression changed three times.

"Who knows what's going on? Anyway, I have the final say on everything in this town. You are dictating over there. What do you think you are?"

What he said was condescending. When Jiang Lianzhu listened, she felt extremely unhappy, but she couldn't refute a word.

She couldn't just sue the county directly for this matter, not to mention whether it would be dealt with. According to the principle that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, the official had his own capital to be able to act like this. .

She hasn't started her business yet, but she doesn't want to lose it just because of a piece of land.

"Mr. Qin's words are a bit harsh, right? I'm just curious about the situation. Why is it necessary to say that I'm just pointing fingers?" Liao Yunchuan said with a smile on his face.

As soon as the official heard what he said, he immediately became honest, and even his tone of voice immediately became much gentler.

"Yes, I also encountered some troublesome things just now, so my voice was a little louder. Don't be offended, Mr. Liao."

"It doesn't matter." Liao Yunchuan replied calmly, "I just feel that Mr. Qin has wronged a common man, and I feel a little unfair in my heart."

The expression on the official's face was slightly stunned, and his eyes looking at Jiang Lianzhu were full of probing meaning.

Although he was not very clear about Liao Yunchuan's identity, he heard from the spies that he was sent by the superiors to investigate and visit. He could be dismissed from his official position as long as he went back and said a word. As for this woman who came from the country, he didn't care. It's like she has an intersection with him.

"This...what I said just now is a little bit irritating. It's best that the girl doesn't take offense to it."

The official kept a smile on his face. He had always said that this land could not be given away, but now he had a different excuse.

"Actually, it's not that this place can't be given to the girl directly, it's that Baiyao Hall sent people to ask for it early, and even the money has been given... I didn't say it all at once, but now I think about it It’s too late to regret it.”

The official opened his mouth to explain in a forced manner.

He wouldn't say how much he received from Master Qian, and how he promised him to keep this land.
