The few people looked at each other, startled by his words, murmured together, and looked towards Rongle while talking.

First, a young man said: "This young master doesn't look like a liar." As he spoke, he looked at the other party again. I'm afraid they might not be able to buy the whole Zhuangzi's harvest for a year with this outfit. How can you lie to them?

Another man with a gully between his brows said: "But isn't our Zhuangzi under the name of the Hou Mansion? Why do I remember that it is under the care of Mrs. Hou?"

After all, Mrs. Hou is also a woman, so it can't be such a young master, right?

"Hey, Mrs. Hou has a son too, maybe it's the young master who came to visit the village." A thin and long-faced man pouted, "Look at this young man's outfit, he's definitely not from an ordinary family, maybe he's from some royal family What about relatives?"

Several people discussed for a long time, and felt that what Rongle said should be the truth, mainly because of their style, there was no need to lie to them.

Only then did a few people get out of the way, and saw that the young man was smiling kindly while they were discussing, and he didn't say anything about venting his anger on them, and the guards behind him didn't think they blocked the way and whipped them. The little boy's perception suddenly became much better.

I just think that this young man is not only good-looking, but also kind.

Rong Le didn't leave just like that, but asked the stable elder brother who was the leader among those few people, "This farm is not too big, so there shouldn't be many farmers."

The eldest brother said: "There are not many, there are only a dozen or so families, all of whom are related by marriage and get along well with each other."

Rong Le smiled and said: "Then your family's fields are not too much. How is the harvest? Is it enough for the whole family to eat?"

This time, without waiting for the elder brother to speak, the young man preemptively said: "It was enough, but it's not enough to be skinned by that big Liu head."

This person is young and speaks quickly. Seeing that Rongle looks easy to talk and has a high status, he wants to sue the other party.

As a result, he was slapped on the back of the head by Brother Shen Wen as soon as he finished speaking, "What nickname do you call people? What are you? Chai Da Mouth?"

After training the junior, he said to Rong Le: "Master, don't listen to this little bastard talking nonsense, what does he know as a child?"

This calm elder brother naturally thinks more deeply than young people. After all, the man surnamed Liu is the manager of the farm. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. They will get tired of it after a few days, and when he leaves, they still have to listen to Guan Liu.

It's cool to say bad things about Liu Guanshi now, what if he is put on small shoes in the future?

What's more, looking at the young master's attire that doesn't know the sufferings of the world, I'm afraid it's impossible to stand up for them.The world is as black as crows, Liu Guanshi is not a good guy, how strong can the master behind him be?

This kid Chai Dacheng is just a big fool. He looks smart, but in fact he has one intestine to the bottom. Seeing that the young master looks good, he thinks he is a good person.

Rong Le didn't take it seriously, but asked the young man, "Isn't your harvest bad for a year? Isn't it enough to eat?"

The young man was patted by the elder, and he didn't dare to speak casually anymore, he hesitated for a long time and didn't answer.

Rong Le knew that he couldn't get anything out of the other party's mouth, so he changed the subject and asked what kind of crops are usually grown in the fields here.

Don't look at the rough-looking brother, but his speech is very organized. He will answer whatever Rong Le asks, but once the question is in-depth, he will play Tai Chi with his mind. On the surface, he will say a lot, but in fact one sentence is useful None of them.

When they got to the place where the tenants lived, Rong Le looked at the row of small earthen houses, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Those are all adobe houses, which look dusty, with fences that are half a person's height tied to the outside.Rong Le felt that it didn't look like he could guard against thieves, and there were few people here, and it was in Zhuangzi, so no thieves would dare to come in and steal things.

At this time, all the farmers went to work in the fields, and there were only a few children and an old woman left in the small village.

The calm brother sent people to the field, and he had to take other people to help in the field.

Rong Le got off the horse, looking at this remote village, she didn't know how to settle down.

Although the old woman was old, she was still in good health, and brought him a bowl of water as soon as she came up.

Rong Le took the cracked thick bowl and took a sip without disgust. Li Yuan, who was following behind him, widened his eyes and tried to help his young master take the bowl, but Rong Le refused.

He was holding the bowl, sitting on the pony, talking to the old woman weaving the bamboo baskets.

Seeing that he was well-behaved, the old lady naturally treated him better, and seeing that he was always asking about Zhuangzi's affairs, she told him everything in detail.

After inquiring everything that should be inquired clearly, Rong Le returned the bowl to the old lady, turned and left the yard.

Liu Guanshi, he should change his name to Liu Papi, but it is really cruel, there are only a dozen families, and he has been pawing for so many years, but he still hasn't paved enough.

He pursed his lips, got on his horse, and led the people to run in the direction of Liu Guanshi's house, and happened to meet Liu Guanshi on the way.

This guy was standing with his hands behind his back, standing in front of a few farmers filling large cloves of garlic. The villain was so successful, he wished Rong Le could knock his nose crooked.

There was no need to say anything more, the guards immediately tied up the man with an order.

At first, Guanshi Liu was still clamoring, "In broad daylight, what are you doing? Do you want to rob?"

When Rong Le drove his horse to come to him, he saw Rong Le's attire, and his momentum weakened a little.Although he was not very good, he still had good eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that this young master was not someone he could mess with.

Even though he is still tied up, he can squeeze out a flattering smile, "I don't know why this young master has come to Zhuangzi? If the villain has angered the young master somewhere, you must not be as knowledgeable as I am."

Rong Le sneered, "My surname is Rong, I'm a family member, and I was born in the Marquis of Changxing. Guanshi Liu should be very familiar with it."

When Rong Le said a word, Guanshi Liu trembled, waiting for him to say the whole sentence, Guanshi Liu's back was already soaked in cold sweat.

His legs were trembling badly, but his face remained calm, and he managed to force a smile: "The villain has eyes that don't recognize Taishan, so he didn't recognize the eldest son. You are here to ride a horse in the village?"

Rong Le said: "I'm here to deal with private affairs in the village."

He put back the smile on his face, and his expressionless expression was somewhat similar to Wan Chengzheng's usual indifferent expression.

He directly said "Take away" to the guards, Li Yuan led the way, and the group of people rushed to Guanshi Liu's house without waiting for a moment.

Rong Le was afraid that there would not be enough people, so he specially managed Wan Chengzheng to borrow a lot of people, and when he arrived at the gate of Guanshi Liu's house, he snorted coldly. Fortunately, he brought a lot of people, otherwise, he might really have no way to block the door.

When the boy at the door saw his master being tied up, and saw the group of people being aggressive, he was not easy to mess with, and he didn't dare to open the door at all.

Rong Le waited impatiently, and asked someone to knock the door open.

A few people were left to block the front and rear doors, and the rest went into the mansion to search the house.

He didn't follow him in. Li Yuan went to the house and brought him a chair. He sat in the middle of the courtyard and looked at Guanshi Liu who was tied up.

Guanshi Liu didn't expect this young master to play cards so unconventionally, and to do it directly as soon as he came up.

Seeing that he had said good things for a long time, Rong Le only thought he was a fly buzzing in his ears, instead of feeling happy, he frowned in disgust.

So he rolled his eyes and thought of what he had heard from the third housekeeper.

He coughed, no longer in the low-pitched manner before, but sighed, and said in a strange way: "The young master treats me like this, does he take Mrs. Hou seriously? After all, I was appointed by Mrs. Hou to come here personally Manager, is it inappropriate for you to tie me here without saying a word, and order your subordinates to rummage through my house? This is a serious crime of trespassing."

Rong Le snorted softly, "You know how to break into a private house? Then you should also know that it is not illegal for your master to beat his own servants to death, right? Do you really think that if you become a manager, you will fly on a branch and become a phoenix? Don't forget I hold your body deed in my hand."

Seeing Steward Liu's face turn pale, he sneered and said, "You know exactly how you got here in the first place, if Mrs. Hou really valued you, she wouldn't treat this farm together with you. It was delivered to me. But you are in charge of a hundred-acre farm, do you really think you are some kind of extraordinary person?"

"Finally," Rong Le lifted his chin slightly, and looked at Guanshi Liu with undisguised contempt, "I am the eldest son of the Hou family, and the eldest concubine of the Prince Duan's mansion. I want to trouble you. Is there a reason?"

Liu Guanshi was so flustered that he didn't know what to do, he could see that the person in front of him was not willing to accept anything, and even though this eldest young master was not favored in the Hou's mansion, it would be easy for him to use his status to suppress him.

He thought about seeing Rong Le send an honest middle-aged man over at the very beginning, and he was played around by him, thinking that the other party was a silly young master, thinking that he should take the money out of the other party's hands like this.

Unexpectedly, people have never let go of their guard against him, and they will pack up a big one when he comes.

Thinking of the gold and silver treasures stored in the warehouse, as well as the grain hidden in the cellar, he felt faint for a while.Bean-sized sweat dripped from the forehead and dripped on the slate floor, and it got wet after a while.

The people under Wan Chengzheng were efficient in their work. Rongle sat here for less than half an hour, and these guards had already turned Manager Liu's family upside down.

Guanshi Liu's wife is a cowardly woman. Seeing Guanshi Liu being tied up, these people rushed in directly, and they didn't dare to resist at all. They just held their children in their arms and watched these people fiddle with them tremblingly. .

The remaining concubines, maids, and others didn't dare to move even more, they all collapsed on the spot, and secretly stuffed jewelry into their skirts and bosoms, trying to hide some belongings in the chaos.

Finally, when the investigation report came up, the housekeeper Liu found 700 taels of silver, some valuable jewelry, and dozens of grains in the cellar.

Rong Le complained in his heart. If he counted, this steward might be richer than him. He remembered that his dowry was only 500 taels of silver.He sneered: "You are really a model for plucking wild goose."

Glancing at the slumped Guanshi Liu in disgust, he turned his gaze away and ordered to the others, "Slap [-] boards straight away and drive them out of the farm."
