When Hui Niang went to Li Chang's house, Ning Yu asked Zheng Xiujie to take him back to Feiyu City on horseback. He had a stack of 1000 taels of silver bills in his bag. Ning Yu took out half of the silver bills and took them to the bank to exchange them for silver. .

They returned to Baiyu Village again in the afternoon, and Ning Yu, who was dressed in men's clothes and had two beards stuck to his face, followed Hui Niang to the house of the village head Wang Ming as scheduled.

With his appearance, even if someone had an impression of his appearance in women's clothing before, they would definitely not be able to recognize him now.

Zheng Xiujie and Zhu Li did not go in with them, but waited near the big tree at the entrance of the village.

When Wang Ming saw the noble Ning Yu walking into the door, his eyes were straightened, and he even felt that Ning Yu's eyebrows and eyes were inexplicably familiar, but he still couldn't remember.

Hui Niang put a heavy wooden box on the table, and he quickly realized that he talked to Ning Yu obsequiously.

"Young master, I see you look familiar. I don't know where you come from, how do you call him, where is he from?"

After Hui Niang briefly introduced the two parties, Wang Ming began to secretly ask Ning Yu's identity and background.

Ning Yu casually said that he is from Qinzhou, his surname is... his surname is also Zhu, he is in business, and he met Hui Niang by chance, after all, they belong to the same family.

Then, he didn't say much, and asked Wang Ming directly: "Mr. Wang, is the land deed and lease ready?"

Wang Ming quickly took out the land deed and the lease contract, but he had an extra thought and asked Ning Yu why he wanted to rent this orchard?

Ning Yu didn't speak, stood up, and opened the small wooden box that Hui Niang had just put on the table. Wang Ming looked curiously, and inside was a box of silver ingots neatly stacked.

Wang Ming's expression suddenly became very pleasantly surprised and greedy. The white money was right in front of him. His eyes were wide open, thinking, he is really a person favored by heaven. You can get a box of silver.

Wang Ming, whose eyes were full of silver, didn't care that Ning Yu didn't answer his question just now. He hurried to the wooden box, picked up a silver ingot and weighed it, his voice trembling:

"My lord, these silver taels are you..."

"Wang Lichang, is this money enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough, haha ​​I didn't expect the young master to be so forthright, I really really..."

Wang Ming couldn't speak clearly.

"Wang Lichang, there is something you need to know. I didn't come here to rent land..."

"Son, you..."

Wang Ming looked at Yinzi, then at Ning Yu, without seeking any further understanding.

"I want to buy."

Ning Yu shook his head, indicating that he would not rent, his eyes were clear and firm, he looked at Wang Ming firmly, and said his request loudly, although his face was half a smile, but his attitude was very tough.

He wants to buy the Zheng family's land.

"This……"

At this time, Wang Ming looked a little embarrassed, looked at Ning Yu and then at the silver in his hand, and put down the ingot in his hand with some reluctance.

All the land in Dayu Kingdom belonged to the imperial court, and the imperial court assigned the jurisdiction over the land to each village, and appointed village chiefs to manage the land, household registration and taxes in the villages.

It is Wang Ming's right to rent out the land, but it is only a matter of land sales, how could he be the master without permission?

He said to Ning Yu with some embarrassment, it wasn't that he didn't want to sell.It's just... It's just that he can't sell it by himself, and he may go to jail if he buys and sells the land privately.

Wang Ming said flatteringly, my son, your silver taels are enough to rent for 30 to [-] years, which is no different from buying.

Ning Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Ming who was thinking of him at this time, rolled his eyes, and said: "Li Chang, I have done this land transaction, in this place where the emperor is far away, like As you said, renting is no different from buying, if you sell it to me, if you don’t tell me, no one will know.”

After finishing speaking, Ning Yu took out five bank notes from his pocket, each of which was written with "one thousand taels". He held the bank notes in his hand and waved them in front of Wang Ming's eyes.

"In addition to these, I don't know if you will sell it or not?"

Wang Ming squeezed the bank note in Ning Yu's hand slightly with trembling hands, touching the thick bank note, his heart trembled a few times.

Ning Yu continued to persuade. He said that he had bought land in other villages before, and nothing happened. As long as the head of the village is willing to agree, their deal will be completed immediately.

The skinny old man looked very thin even in a padded jacket. He suddenly thought that his eldest daughter had not yet had sharp hands and was unmarried. I always go to the city to play horses to buy things...

It's just a piece of land, and the boss of the Zheng family kicked his daughter with a horse. It's only natural for him to take the opportunity to confiscate their land, and he is the head of the village, so he is in charge of the land.

Although he didn't know why this young man bought this land, he said that he had already bought land in other places, isn't it all right now?

This is God's favor, how could he not cherish it!

Wang Ming, who had made countless excuses for himself, struggled in his heart for a long time, holding the bank note, he took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Ning Yu;

"Young master, I see that you are also a straightforward person, and I will not procrastinate. I will sell this land!"

After hearing Wang Ming's affirmative answer, Ning Yu's secretly hanging heart relaxed a little. He said,

"Then I would like to trouble you, Wang Lichang, to write a document. We will also sign a copy of this lease, just for show."

After finishing speaking, Hui Niang at the side even took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone all at once, put them on the table, and began to grind ink.

Wang Ming glanced at Hui Niang, and was a little embarrassed to ask Ning Yu to help him write it. Wang Ming said that he didn't know much about the characters except numbers and his own name.

Ning Yu nodded in understanding, and wrote a contract about the sale and purchase of land in two or three strokes. After Wang Ming signed the contract and the lease with the red seal of his finger, Ning Yu signaled to Wang Ming that this table All the coins on the Internet are his.

Wang Ming happily picked up the wooden box, his face was full of radiance.

He also thanked Hui Niang for finding such a noble person for him, which really solved one of his heart problems.

"Ah, by the way, the head of the village, I still have something to go on a long trip. After that, I have asked Hui Niang's family to take care of this land. Please take care of me in the future."

"sure."

Wang Ming responded respectfully to Ning Yu, and happily sent Ning Yu and Huiniang out of the house.

Wang Dafu, who had been peeking behind the door, also ran out after seeing her dad send off the guests. Looking at the backs of Ning Yu and Hui Niang, she always felt a little familiar.

But when she turned her head and saw her father holding a wooden box, and found that it was full of silver taels, her mung bean-sized eyes immediately opened wide, with an expression of disbelief.

Zheng Xiujie and Zhu Li, who were waiting near the big tree at the entrance of the village, saw that Ning Yu and Hui Niang came out, but they did not go up to greet them immediately, but followed them from a distance, and finally entered Zheng's courtyard one after the other.

Several people discussed it, and Ning Yu handed the lease, land deed and a few bank notes to Huiniang, and then returned to Feiyu City with Zheng Xiujie.

The place they went this time was the City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie both knew that Fu Qing was not in Feiyu City these days.

But the deputy city lord is there.

The deputy city lord of Feiyu City respected Zheng Xiujie, whom Fu Qing admired very much. When he learned that Zheng Xiujie asked him for help, he readily agreed to deliver the two letters to Fu Qing when the city lord Fu Qing came back.

Ning Yu, who was waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion, saw Zheng Xiujie coming out of the gate, and asked, "Has the letter been delivered yet?"

"Well, it's fine."

"Okay, let's go back then."

Now that the letter had been delivered, Ning Yu felt relieved. He walked side by side with Zheng Xiujie on the streets of Feiyu City, and the two walked slowly along the street.

Zheng Xiujie also specially bought some food that he used to love for Ning Yu, and the two of them ate while walking, very relaxing.

Ning Yu, who had taken off his beard, was very happy, because one of his worries was resolved.

In the evening, when they returned to the small courtyard, when Ning Yu was packing the clothes in the bag, a wooden figurine fell out. He gently picked up the wooden figurine, his eyes revealing a trace of longing.

When Zheng Xiujie came in with hot water, he saw Ning Yu was in a daze. He called Ning Yu back and said that the water was ready and he could wash up. Only then did Ning Yu come back to his senses.

"Ning Yu, thank you."

"Third brother?"

After the two washed up, they sat on the edge of the bed and chatted.Suddenly, Zheng Xiujie said this very abruptly.

The third child knew that what Ning Yu did today was to help them. He bought back the Zheng family's land and handed it over to the Zhu family to take care of it, in order to prevent the village head from causing trouble for them again.

The letter sent to the City Lord's Mansion was a handwritten certificate, proving that he had transferred all the land lease and lease to the Zheng family.

Ning Yu took out the land transaction receipt with Wang Ming's signature and fingerprints and handed it to Zheng Xiujie.

"If Wang Ming and the others make things difficult for you in the future, with this, he won't dare to make trouble again."

Because once this matter was exposed, Wang Ming would not be able to be the head of the village.

"Ning Yu, I..."

"Third brother, you don't need to say more. The Zheng family is kind to me, and I do these things willingly. Besides, if brother Zheng didn't send me a letter at that time, he wouldn't have been blackmailed by Wang Ming."

"Then, Ning Yu, what are your plans? Are you planning to go to the north?"

Now Ning Yu has redeemed the land of the orchard for the Zheng family, and asked Hui Niang and her elder brother Zhu Li to help take care of it, and everyone around him has a stable life.

He doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

And he always had a place he wanted to go, someone he wanted to find.

"Ning Yu, no matter where you go, I will be with you!"

"Third brother, what are you talking about? Now that you have been reused by City Lord Fu, you should stay here well."

Zheng Xiujie shook his head, his peach blossom eyes revealed a serious attitude,

"When I went to the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, I also handed another letter to the Deputy City Lord..."

"That is my farewell letter to the city lord."

"Third brother! You... You, alas, we will go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, can we still get it back?"

At this moment, Ning Yu's face was full of confusion, and while he was shocked, he was still thinking about Zheng Xiujie, wondering if he could withdraw the letter.

"Ning Yu, I know you want to find Big Brother."

"Now that the north is in chaos, I don't feel at ease if you go alone. With me here, we can take care of you."

"Many capable people are helping the city lord. I have already presented the method of making preserved fruits to the city lord. You don't have to worry about what my farewell will affect. I have nothing to worry about here now."

"So, let me accompany you."
