Chapter 204 Insidious and Shameless
The big red envelopes were given to Li Zhenghe and the two patriarchs, and the small red envelopes were given to the elders and those who could speak in the village.
Steward Mao was full of energy, and patted his chest to accept the task.
And secretly decided to take this opportunity to regain face and let out a bad breath in his heart.
This is fifty taels of silver!
He didn't think the people in Zaihu Village would refuse at all.
Those muddy legs probably haven't seen such a huge sum of money in several lifetimes, and they are so happy and crazy.
Besides, it’s just to keep them from helping the Zhao family. The sugarcane garden is in the hands of the young master, so it doesn’t delay them from working and making money.
It is equal to a huge sum of money for nothing.
Butler Mao never expected that not only Li Zheng, but also the two patriarchs would not buy it at all, and drove him away without hesitation.
"This silver is hot, take it and roll it!"
"We are not rare!"
Steward Mao was in such a mess that he left Zaihu Village in despair.
Steward Mao bit the bullet and went back to report. Not surprisingly, he was kicked and scolded.
Until this time, Mao Dexing finally really faced up to this matter.
If this matter cannot be done, he will really lose all face.
At the beginning, he didn't take this matter seriously at all, thinking that as long as he said a word, would the family of exiles like the Zhao family dare to say no? Why don't you obediently offer it up honestly?
But he never expected. He encountered the first thorn in his life.
He did not appoint Zhao Liya to meet Zhao Liya at Wangchun Restaurant that day, but he instinctively thought that the little girl's family was more likely to be threatened and intimidated.
He didn't seriously understand what kind of person Zhao Liya was. He didn't bother with it, and he didn't think it was necessary. Where can a little girl be so powerful?
Even if she has a share of the credit for the Zhao family's property, it's just that the Zhao family has no one to use, forcing her, a little girl, to do it herself.
He didn't expect that as soon as she came out, he would be in trouble.
This **** girl can't handle it.
Afterwards, a series of mistakes, a little too many mistakes, both hidden losses and obvious losses, I was so aggrieved to death!
He thought this matter was easy to grasp, so he didn't cover it up. Although he didn't exaggerate it, the people in Gaolian County basically knew everything they should know.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at him now!
If he succeeds in taking over the sugar cane garden, not only will he have a lot of income, but he can also make friends with the big boss behind him, which will be of great benefit.
Just right, it will also allow him to show off his abilities in the circle.
Imagining the admiration and admiration of all the merchants, country gentry, and dudes, Mao Dexing felt ecstatic.
But he never expected that he would suffer losses one after another.
He suffered losses one after another, and everyone saw it!
This is **** **** up!
Uncle can't bear it!
Mao Dexing didn't dare to go to see his brother-in-law, firstly because he felt ashamed, and secondly because he was afraid of being scolded.
Since the brother-in-law said that he would not use the name of the government to deal with the Zhao family, he certainly would not.
However, he can borrow the name of his brother-in-law.
If the Zhao family dares, it is tantamount to rebellion, one by one, go to jail.
Mao Dexing cursed viciously, called two servants, and ordered them to take a few people to Yancun.
"Twenty hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum? Within ten days? Is this a joke?"
Zhao Xiang usually has a good temper, so he couldn't help getting angry.
As soon as the request came out, everyone knew it well: it must be another good thing that Mao Dexing did.
The guard accepted Mao Dexing's benefits and was happy to do his best for the county magistrate's brother-in-law. He rolled his eyes and snorted arrogantly: "Bold! Do what you are told to do honestly! Who is kidding you? Be careful, If you can't pay within ten days, hum, then go to the Yamen to beat the board! Punish a crime of contempt for the court!"
Zhao Liya: "Is this really a tribute from the government?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you ask!"
"Please calm down, if you don't ask clearly, how can we handle things? Since it is a request from the government, how about asking the messenger to show us the official document?"
"What do you mean?" The officer looked cold and stern, and said with a sneer, "If you don't look for it, oh, then don't go! There is no official document!"
Zhao Liya smiled slightly: "How could there be no official documents for such an important matter? Please be accommodating. I'm sorry, we have been deceived not once or twice. Since we don't have official documents, how dare we listen? What if what we want is not Twenty plants instead of thirty or forty plants? What if I make a mistake? Everyone is trying to get things done and contribute to the court, right? Just let us take a look, and everyone can rest assured."
Where is the official document? It is impossible to take it out.
However, I will never admit that there is no such thing.
Some are just bluffing and stern.
"What's the matter? Can I still deceive you? In short, I put the words aside today and come back in ten days. If you can't get them out by then, you can go to jail! No less! One hundred years, even one year less!"
Everyone dared not speak out in anger.
Twenty plants are too much, how about a year less?
This kind of thing is originally estimated, who can accurately calculate how many years it is?
Mao Dexing's character will definitely make the examining doctor insist on the bad year.
All in all, this is a trap, whether they jump or not, they will be trapped.
Seeing that they had nothing to say, the officer sneered and walked away with his men.
"Father, this is for us! I really want to blow their heads off!"
Zhao Liya said: "Father, let's go to County Magistrate Yin, it's better to break up and talk about it."
It's not that they didn't save face for Mao Dexing and County Magistrate Yin. Mao Dexing was so unscrupulous that they couldn't retreat.
Unless he obediently lets Mao Dexing drink blood and eat meat.
But how is this possible?
This is their own family business, and no one can take it away easily!
Zhao Xiang nodded: "Aya is right, since that's the case, let's go to the county government together."
The Zhao family did not involve the villagers. Uncle Luo and Uncle Lin all came to the house and said that they could go to the county government together.
The guard talked about the tribute, and Uncle Luo and the others felt uneasy.
If you can find the Zhao family in this way, sooner or later you will be able to find another family.
Everyone is a grasshopper on a vine. Helping the Zhao family today is actually the same as helping yourself.
Zhao Xiang politely declined.
Not so far.
Going to Zhao's house was to reason and show weakness, at least to save some face for County Magistrate Yin. If you take the villagers with you, it will be coercion, and it may anger County Magistrate Yin.
At that time, the commotion will become more and more tense, and there will be no way to end it. It will be impossible not to invite Zhong Jing.
