"What's the silver reward? You didn't hear it. It's wages, given in advance! Not only that, 10 acres of land is only %! It's even lower than the tax, so doesn't it mean you get % of it? My God, it's really You’re not being a bitch for nothing.”

"You talk nicer, what a bitch, I am now Manager Li, I am really envious. If I had known that I would not be in a hurry to go home for dinner after I just handed over the food, if I had been waiting by the side, I would have exposed Mr. Sun. "

"It seems that Li Changtao is going to make a fortune. Not only does he only get 10% of the 3 acres of land, but he also gets taels of silver for free every year. No matter how lavishly he spends, he can still save or taels in a year. Isn't it just or taels in ten years? Twelve taels, oh, this doesn’t mean I don’t know, it’s scary to death.”

"If you think about it this way, it's not renting land. It's just like farming your own land. Isn't this equivalent to Landlord Yan giving him ten acres of land? Good guy, he will get 10% a year. As long as the harvest is good, he will be paid. It can be ignored..."

"Sun Duomiao has suffered a huge loss. He offended landlord Yan. I'm afraid he won't be able to rent land with such a small commission next year."

The villagers lowered their heads slightly and looked at Sun Duomiao's family sitting on the ground.

Full of schadenfreude.

Where is the sympathy shown just now?

"No, this is too much. Landlord Yan, please take the money back. There is no reason to collect wages without doing any work."

Li Changtao looked at Yan Xia in disbelief. His muscles became stiff, his body tensed up, and his heart was beating fast. Although he really wanted to rent 10 acres of land and be a manager, after all, he earned three taels of silver a year. , but he can’t get paid before he works.

Yan Xia had raised his hand for quite some time, but he didn't pick it up.

"Okay, just take it if it's given to you. I don't like people who are ink-printed. Now that they have become my stewards, they will stand up straight from now on. If anyone dares to criticize you, you will scold them back! Of course, don't do it to those who didn't rent my land." If you scold me, I will beat you if you are careful, haha, okay, put it away, you will sign and pledge it with me later, and it will be done."

Yan Xia's arms were a little sore, and she placed the money heavily on Li Changtao's palm.

Don’t forget to give me a few words of advice.

She promoted him not to repay the favor of telling the truth, but after this incident, she found that she really thought of people too well. Without rules, there would be no rules. She had to find a loyal and honest manager to look after them, so as not to do it again in the future. What a fuss.

And Li Changtao is the right candidate.

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Changtao can only accept the money.

He put three taels of silver into his chest pocket and pressed it carefully. Seeing how scared he looked, he thought that the silver could fly away with long legs. Li Changtao had a look of indifference on his face, but his dull expression The open mouth and chaotic breath still betrayed his joyful mood.

Sun Duomiao was paralyzed on the ground and her teeth were almost broken. She lowered her head slightly, but her eyes slanted upward. If you look carefully, you can see that her eyes were entirely on Yan Xia, with a pair of cloudy and fierce brown pupils. Li, it's a pity that no one cares about her.

"Mom~ I'm back~"

While everyone was still discussing Yan Xia's generous gesture just now.

Jin Lu led several officials and walked quickly towards them.

Sun Duomiao's face turned pale with fright.

She was just thinking about teaching Li Changtao a lesson, but she forgot to ask her sons to stop this brat.

what to do....

Sun Duomiao wanted to take advantage of the chaos and run away.

But as soon as she stood up and took two steps, she was grabbed by Yan Xia.

"Zuo Yachai - this old woman rented my land and promised to give her 200% of the grain. But she saw that I was not familiar with harvesting grain for the first time, so she tried to deceive me and stole kilograms of rice per acre of land. You Make the decision for me quickly——"

Yan Xia's voice was extremely loud.

The official leader was Zuo Li.

Because they often went to her shop to buy pastries, the two became acquaintances from time to time.

He walked up to Yan Xia and looked at the old woman who was being held by her. She had high cheekbones, sinister eyes, and a pale face.

He is a ruthless person——

"Oh? Shopkeeper Yan said this is indeed the case?"

Zuo Li looks fierce, and he hasn't shaved for several days, so the scars on his face look particularly scary.

This was said to Sun Duomiao.

"It's nothing, Mr. Qingtian, how dare we. My family only produced about 500 kilograms of grain. Maybe I remembered it wrong, so I took less when I handed in the grain. We just made up for it. Obviously this landlord Yan There is no shortage of money, why do you want to harm us like this? We are already suffering enough. The whole family fled here and finally took root. But life is not easy yet. We are framed again and we don’t have a yield of kilograms per mu. It really doesn’t happen!”

Sun Duomiao was secretly glad. Fortunately, the newly dug cellar under her bed was not big, so she could only store five bags of rice. The rest of the grain was stored in the utility room at home. As long as she complained, she would beg for help. Just pretend to be pitiful and make up for the remaining food, and this matter will be over.

And her family can get 500 kilograms of rice for free this year.

"Okay, search home."

People don't talk much.

Zuo Li only glanced at him and ordered his men to escort the family towards Sun Duomiao's house.

Zhang Lizheng had to follow him, after all, he was the person in charge of the village.

If there is a thief in the village, he will not be able to get any favors, and his face will be tarnished to the outside world.

He was seen following the crowd solemnly. Because his legs and feet were not good, he could walk with a limp. Li Changtao couldn't bear it. He continued to carry Li Zheng to Sun Duomiao's house, just like when he came here.

"Master Officer, the remaining rice is in the utility room. We forgot to take it when we handed over the grain. This is not stealing. We didn't steal it. Son, go and move the grain out."

Before Sun Duomiao's son could move, Zuo Li stopped them.

"Second left, third left, fourth left, you three go move out the grain and weigh it."

Yan Xia just brought the scale over and asked Jin Lu to guard the food.

To avoid being stolen.

Zuo Li understood as soon as he saw her holding the scale.

I saw three cold-faced officers entering the utility room of Sun Duomiao's house, taking out fifteen sacks, pouring them one by one into wooden vats and putting them out again. They weighed exactly 1500 kilograms.

Including the 450 kilograms given to Yan Xia, it is almost 2000 kilograms.

That is, the yield per mu is 400 kilograms.

They nodded to Zuoli and returned to stand behind the boss without saying a word.

It looks like an immovable bronze sculpture.

"Master official, we were wronged. Look, the food is all here. The women didn't lie. It's all the landlords who slandered people. They want to make money but they can't harm us poor people. They bribed this villain Li Changtao. Let him talk nonsense, how can there be a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, even if he sells me."

Sun Duomiao breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the ground and slapped her thighs, crying and howling while screaming that she was wronged.

It's like someone in the family dies.

"If you dare to cry and howl again, I will take you back to the Yamen and torture you severely. You three, go search your home! Search carefully for me, don't miss every corner!"

The three 'Bronze Men' took action again.

Sun Duomiao's house was almost turned upside down.

Just as they were about to return without success, the rice cakes held by Sun Duomiao's grandson Wanbao attracted the attention of several officials.
