Chapter 240 Looking forward to it
It was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that this group of villagers stopped coming.
Steward Mao breathed a sigh of relief, his voice was already hoarse, and he looked extremely haggard from the torture.
Master Mao did not show up from the beginning to the end.
However, not showing up doesn't mean he doesn't know anything.
He was also annoyed by the group of villagers coming.
These mud-legged people dared to run into his mansion so arrogantly, this was something he had never thought of before. Are they worthy of standing in his home?
He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen one day!
These pushovers!
However, he can't drive people out when people come, otherwise who would he be?
What Young Master Mao didn't know was that at this time, the outside world had gradually spread, and the "mud legs" he looked down on helped him spread the word, while complaining that Butler Mao looked down on people, rolled his eyes at big guys, black faces, and impatient, While eagerly looking forward to Master Mao leading everyone to make a fortune.
Master Mao took the initiative to leave the Zhao family behind, he must have had a good idea, so of course everyone is looking forward to it.
Speaking of which, the Zhao family has already cooperated with so many villages, so they may not have the energy to manage their own village. Master Mao is better, more reliable!
Master Mao also found several helpers, Gu Laosan from Yancun, Lu family brothers, and the father of a concubine of Master Mao, well, that must be more reliable. It shows that Master Mao is very caring. But the strange thing is, why are they all from Yancun? Isn't Yancun an exile? Are all the people unreliable? This can't be justified.
What exactly is Master Mao thinking?
His family was visited by groups of villagers, and he couldn't go out at all. The next morning, he couldn't wait to go to the county government to file a complaint, and he insisted that it was the Zhao family who persuaded the villagers to come to the door.
"The Zhao family deliberately avoided seeing them, and they said they were away because they had something to do. They only sent an irrelevant person to beat people in my house. Brother-in-law, they are really lawless!"
County magistrate Yin glanced at him, very surprised: "Someone dares to beat someone in your house? You didn't care?"
Has the sun come out from the west?
Mao Dexing was at a loss for words immediately.
So what is he going to say? Said that the other party overthrew several servants in his house by himself? And easily captured him as a hostage?
Needless to say, when he thought about it, he felt that no one would believe him.
Mao Dexing had no choice but to be vague, and said: "Brother-in-law, other families in Yancun obey the order, but their Zhao family does not listen, so they cannot be lightly spared!"
County Magistrate Yin was also annoyed, "You're useless! I'm afraid you don't know what's going on outside?"
He said a few words casually, and Mao Dexing's face became more and more ugly.
Can you continue to look for the Zhao family? Doesn't that really mean you don't want any face? The Zhao family is not an official of the court, and has no responsibility to help the common people get rich. This is what people do as a business. If they don't want to do business, do they still have to press their heads? What's more, they have already cooperated with several villages. How dare they catch a sheep to grow wool?
Then, the county magistrate of Gaolian County is really going to become a joke!
However, Zhao Xiang is fully capable of spreading this joke in the officialdom.
County Magistrate Yin didn't know that those rumors were the Zhao family's resistance.
As the county magistrate, Mao Dexing repeatedly made troubles, which angered the Zhao family.
Mao Dexing sneered: "Just find an excuse to arrest Zhao Xiang! I don't believe that the Zhao family is not in a hurry! Brother-in-law, isn't it a joke for us to admit defeat now?"
County Magistrate Yin stared at Mao Dexing a little angrily.
He didn't admit it, he regretted it a little.
He shouldn't have competed with the Zhao family in the first place. As a result, it's better now, and it's hard to get off the tiger.
"You provoked this matter, you solve it yourself! I don't care what method you use, in short, you come out yourself!"
The Zhao family is indeed too much. They either avoid seeing them, or they can't come if they have something to do. Just find someone to say a few words and it's over? And deliberately let people spread those rumors, do they still have themselves as the county magistrate in their eyes?
If he couldn't breathe, he was afraid that he would suffocate to death!
Mao Dexing left aggrieved, and when he returned, he scolded Butler Mao head and face.
Butler Mao was obedient, but Luo Shuyu had another idea, "Since the young master doesn't want to show up, let the Gu family and the Lu family go to the Zhao family. They are all from the same village, maybe it's better to talk?"
Mao Dexing's heart moved, he couldn't help but smile, and touched Luo Shuyu's smooth face: "Well, I didn't love you for nothing, that's a good idea."
No, since the brother-in-law can throw the question to him, then it is different for him to throw it to others?
So the next morning, Steward Mao went to Yan Village again.
And Lizheng and the villagers who came here yesterday came to Mao's house again and again: When will Master Mao go to the village to take a look, so that he can give everyone some advice as soon as possible? Young Master Mao is rich and capable, so he can't lose to the Zhao family.
Butler Mao is not here, the villagers received by the other little stewards. Impatient soon, the two sides finally broke out in conflict, first a quarrel, and then a fight.
A villager came out of Mao’s house bleeding from the beating, and ran to the Yamen angrily to complain.
In the past, they would never dare to go to the Yamen to file a complaint, but now, it is different. The county magistrate's brother-in-law is about to lead them to make a fortune, and they have even been to Mao's house, so why can't they go to the county government?
The brother-in-law of the county magistrate is about equal to the county magistrate, and even made their inherent impression of the county magistrate less scary.
Besides, the land of Lingnan is already tough, and there is not much fear of the government. After all, more than 30 years ago, when the people here rioted, they dared to rush into the yamen and beat up the county magistrate.
You were beaten today, how could you not seek justice?
County magistrate Yin is called a smoke from seven orifices!
This **** Mao Dexing, what else can he do besides causing trouble for him?
Help the villagers get rich? It's all about beating people, how can you help people get rich!
The evidence is solid, County Magistrate Yin can't ignore it, otherwise these villagers will go back and shout angrily, God knows if the yamen will be blocked tomorrow.
Several stewards of the Mao family were arrested and punished in public, and the Mao family was ordered to pay for medical expenses.
The villagers felt very happy, "My lord, when will Master Mao visit our village?", "That's right, it's too inconvenient to do things like this?", "He is much worse than the Zhao family. Ah!", "He drove away the Zhao family and ignored us, why?"
County magistrate Yin's scalp became numb again and again, and he said tentatively: "I didn't drive away the Zhao family, it was just angry words."
A villager shouted: "Young Master Mao drove away the Zhao family, we saw it with our own eyes! The housekeeper of the Mao family is fierce, that must not be an angry word!"
