Yan Xia wanted to laugh a little, but this man was quite straightforward.

"Zhang Lizheng, since I bought this land, I haven't been here very often. Brother Deng praised me so much, saying that the villagers in Shoucheng Village are polite, simple and hard-working. The praise is like a heavenly being." There is nothing on the ground. I believed him, so I didn’t even invite a steward to the tenants of your city guarding the city. I came here to collect grain this time, hoping that they would be more conscious. Even if the difference was seven or eight pounds, I would turn a blind eye. If you close your eyes, just try to improve their food, who knows, hey..."

Yan Xia shook her head helplessly and sighed deeply.

"You villagers in Shoucheng Village are really taking me for granted. Sun Duomiao rented five acres of land from me and the yield per mu is 500 kilograms. However, she tried to lie to me that the yield was not high. She actually told me that her yield per mu was 300 kilograms. You have to harvest 200 kilograms of rice per acre. You are really more corrupt than a corrupt official. To tell you the truth, I am also a landlord for the first time. Naturally, I cannot act like I want to shout and kill the villagers. It’s just that you guys chill me so much. ”

"Today Sun Duomiao stole my food for the first crime, and for blocking my son's carriage and threatening me for the second crime. But the third crime is nothing. How can I, a dignified landowner, be bullied by this tenant farmer? You are here to bear witness today, and in the future I, the Yan family, will not rent any land to the Sun family. Not only that, I will report it to the officials today and ask the county magistrate to cut off the hands of the principal of the Sun family! If you dare to steal, you will have to pay the price!"

The reason why Yan Xia didn't take action was because this was someone else's village after all, and she had no connections with the government. If someone was accidentally seriously injured, she would be at fault. The tenants here are not long-term workers, and they are different from slaves. You can fight and scold as you like, it's just a tenant relationship.

However, the magistrate of Shuangqiao Town was the most just, and Sun could not escape this crime.

"What? Sun Duomiao, how dare you be so bold? If I hadn't seen your family pitiful, I wouldn't have let you set foot in Shoucheng Village at all. Landlord Yan only took 30% of the salary. How could you do such a good deed and steal? , your heart is dark——"

When Zhang Lizheng heard this, his chest heaved violently with anger. He raised his right arm and pointed at Sun Duomiao, his fingertips trembling.

Yan Xia was afraid that he would pass away in anger.

"Oh, how dare I? It's Li Changtao who talks too much. My family's yield per mu is 500, and it's 400. Tell me about you. We're from the same village and you're hurting me like this. What's in it for you? You did her. Is it possible for such a bastard to be allowed to be in charge of other people’s affairs? Bah! You really have no conscience and are cheating your own people!"

Even now, Sun Duomiao's mouth is still very tough.

She tried to shift the conflict onto Li Changtao.

"If you didn't deceive Landlord Yan, would this happen? It's better to be down-to-earth. If you offend Landlord Yan today, let me see where your family will rent land next year. Taohua Village takes 5% of an acre of land. You are greedy today. Grain will be vomited out sooner or later, and bad people will be rewarded, and your family may have to flee again!"

Li Changtao can support a large family, so naturally he is not a vegetarian.

Although he was honest, he was not at all inferior when it came to criticizing others. He almost poked Sun Duomiao in the lungs.

Yan Xia was a little surprised to learn that her commission was the lowest around.

It turns out that Deng Qiu has a good heart.

Landlords are not all bad people.

"You little beast, son, just stand and watch your mother being bullied. Beat him!"

Good guy, the two groups started fighting.

Yan Xia became an outsider watching the show.

Jin Lu, a smart guy, quickly drove an ox cart to the county government office while no one was trying to stop him.

After all, Li Changtao was on his side. Seeing that his family was at a disadvantage, Yan Xia hurriedly went to help, pretending to start a fight, but in fact, he was punching Sun Duomiao's family.

Soon, their whole bodies ached and they were lying on the ground breathing heavily.

"What are you making a fuss about! Stop it!!"

Zhang Lizheng was so angry that the noise of the fight attracted everyone in the village.

Before long, the place was filled with people.

"Mind your own business. Let's see how mean this Li Changtao is. He told Landlord Yan that my family's yield per mu is 500. Damn it. How can my family's production be so high? You all know how miserable my family is. Living here We have to feed so many children in a mud house and eat chaffy vegetables every day. Where can I get food for Landlord Yan? You are trying to drive my family to a dead end. We must be careful of villains like this in the future. When will he stab you in the back? Today he can slander our family just to curry favor with Landlord Yan, and tomorrow he can harm your family for Landlord Wang and Landlord Liu! Drive this kind of people out of the village!!"

Although Sun Duomiao is old and has little experience, she is very good at using public opinion.

The nose and face were bruised and swollen from the beating, but today when I went out, I deliberately put on the most ragged clothes.

How pitiful it is to sit on the ground.

Everyone in the village pointed at Li Changtao.

It seems that he believed her words.

Li Changtao wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. After all, he did tell the truth to Landlord Yan.

"Oh, Chang Tao, you were a very responsible person when you were a child. How did you grow up to be like this? Although Mrs. Sun is not weird on weekdays, she is older than you after all. We are from the same village. How can you still be like this? The elbows are turned outward, look at how hard they are being forced, tsk tsk, I can’t bear to see it.”

"It's just that you are too cruel. Even if you want to curry favor with the landlord, you can't use this harmful trick."

"What's the use of flattering the landlords? Landlords are cannibals of human flesh and blood. Look, Li Changtao's nosebleeds came out. Did the landlord say a word to him? He's just being a bitch. What's the use? Are you still making trouble? The people in the village are at odds with each other.”

"..."

The onlookers criticized Li Changtao one by one, and they did not forget to drag Yan Xia out to provoke him.

Yan Xia was very calm. She patted the clothes that were stained by the fight.

Said loudly.

"Li Changtao, you bravely stood up today to expose Sun Duomiao's lies. Your character is of the highest quality. From today on, I will hand over my hundred acres of land to you to manage. Every autumn harvest is the time to pay your wages." , three taels of silver a year. From now on, you will be responsible for supervising everyone's harvest and recording it in the book to prevent anyone from lying again. The daily use and maintenance of the fields are all under your control. This is three taels of silver. Take it, and pay for it first. Give it to you for one year! The five acres of land rented by Sun Duomiao will also belong to you, and the 10 acres of land will only give you % from next year!"

Yan Xia's words shocked everyone present and became silent. Even the barking of dogs could no longer be heard, as if everything had stopped breathing.

It wasn't until a few moments later that everyone's frozen bodies began to function.

"Hey, this is just a reward of three taels of silver. Oh my god, Landlord Yan is so generous."
