Chapter 150 Mr. Wen’s perfect opportunity!
The county magistrate saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and quickly expressed his determination again.
“Today is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! If you think the price is not appropriate, we can talk again. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sell it, I won’t buy it, I really won’t buy it!”
The villagers looked a little better, but they were still unwilling to let him go. Who knew if he would try his best to bully them again after he got out of trouble.
After all, this is their territory, and it is not easy for their little arms to twist their thighs.
At this moment, the boy who ran to report the news unexpectedly arrived with more than a dozen police officers.
Looking at their yamen being tied into rice dumplings from a distance, the policemen immediately drew out their swords and ran over shouting.
“Untouchables, let go of our office and spare your life!”
The villagers who were hesitating just now quickly picked up the hatchets, some blocked them in front, and some even picked up the county magistrate and put the knife on his neck.
The county magistrate was so angry that he almost vomited blood and hated these police officers to death.
They didn’t show up when they were supposed to show up, but they jumped out when they weren’t supposed to show up!
He pulled his neck anxiously and shouted, "Stay back, don't come up!"
The police officers were a little confused, and the leader of the team shouted, "Sir, are you being threatened? Don't be afraid, the master already knows and will be here soon!"
The county magistrate wanted to bite him a few times, but it was already too late.
Two dusty carriages came running from a distance, with Wen Hai and Sister-in-law Qiong sitting on the carriage shafts.
Obviously Sister-in-law Qiong went to ask for foreign aid and met Mr. Wen who was rushing back.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage arrived.
Mr. Wen opened the door and jumped down, shouting loudly.
"Who is plundering and oppressing the people in broad daylight? Is there no royal law? It is an honor for the people of Jiangnan that the emperor moved the capital here. Who dares to offend the imperial majesty and ignore the majesty of the court?"
He glared, looking upright, "Let's go to Kyoto and follow me to the emperor to have a good talk! Is the world the emperor's or the Jiangnan family's? I really think of myself as a local emperor. I'm afraid I don't know my neck. How hard it is!”
With this big hat off, the county magistrate's son was completely heartbroken, and the arrester was also confused.
Aren’t the untouchables guilty of the inferior? Why does it involve the Jiangnan wealthy family offending the imperial authority and disobeying the imperial court?
Mr. Wen doesn't care about this. He has made up his mind not to study in the Hanlin Academy. Today is a perfect opportunity.
To expose the dissatisfaction of the local wealthy families in Jiangnan with the imperial court, he would not hesitate to be the sharp sword of the new imperial court.
If he wants to gain power, he must be useful to the emperor and the newly settled court!
He turned around and looked at a middle-aged man wearing an official robe, "Brother Zhou, I want to return to Xindu again, and I will leave this place to you."
The middle-aged official looked at the hot spring waterfall, his eyes were shining, and he was impatient with these trivial matters. He quickly agreed after hearing this, and then went straight to the waterfall.
"Such a hot spring is really rare. Hurry up and get the water to check. Is the sulfur smell strong? I don't think you need to build a fully covered canal to divert the water out. It's so hot that there's no need to worry about heat dissipation."
The middle-aged official ordered the people behind him as he walked, and soon they dispersed and went about their business. Some even climbed up the cliff to check the source of the spring water.
Mr. Wen looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "Junior sister, help the village entertain Mr. Zhou and the others." "Okay, senior brother, go ahead. If you need help, go to Uncle Liu." Mrs. Cui agreed, and went to the waterfall with Jiayin in her arms. went.
Mr. Wen felt relieved and called to the village chief and Li Laosi, "Uncle Village Chief, Lao Si, I want to take these people back to Xindu, and I'm afraid I'll bother you to follow them. If it works this time, I'll do it again in the future." No one dares to steal your golden beach anymore!”
The village chief responded, "If Mr. Wen doesn't come, we plan to go to Xindu to file a complaint. This guy said that the whole world belongs to his family, and the land deeds and road guides given to us by the court are not easy to use. This is simply trying to be a local emperor. ah!"
Mr. Wen became even more happy after hearing this, "Okay, uncle, remember this. When you get to the city, everyone will tell you this."
After saying that, he called Jiaren again, "Let's go to the city together and take you to see the market."
Soon, the county magistrate, whose face was as gray as ashes, was thrown into the carriage. He knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so he could only shout loudly for the arrester, "Go back to my father to report the news!"
“Oh, oh!” The head catcher also knew that he had caused a big trouble, so he turned around and ran away.
Mr. Wen didn’t say anything, and the villagers didn’t stop him.
The village chief, Li Laosi, Li Laoer, and Jiaren, escorted the county magistrate and a few losers, got into the carriage, and followed Mr. Wen into the city again.
The villagers looked at the shadow of the carriage from a distance, feeling worried but happy.
This is the county magistrate. In the past, when they saw him in Junyang, they would kowtow in fear when they saw him.
Now that they have picked up a hatchet and resisted, not only will they be fine, but the county magistrate's son and even the county magistrate will be in trouble.
Sure enough, there is no point in giving in timidly. Whenever you want to take advantage of the situation, you must straighten your back and fight back!
I have to say that in the years to come, Suijintan, which has become famous for hundreds of miles around, because of today's incident, has completely established their village custom of being reasonable in everything and never being bullied!
With people from various villages watching the commotion in the distance, they were scared away when they saw the arresting officer. They didn't dare to stay any longer and dispersed with a blast.
Uncle Zhao and the others came out, organized the villagers to allocate manpower for patrolling and guarding, and also to give a blow to the officials who were busy around the hot springs.
Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and watched with interest as Mr. Zhou poured spring water into a complicated wooden vessel that he couldn't understand.
Then I heard him shouting excitedly, "It's really good. Taking a bath in this spring water will definitely strengthen your body."
The villagers were curious and asked in a low voice, "Sir, this spring water is good. Can we build a hot spring village?"
"Of course," Master Zhou had an easy-going temper and agreed, even jokingly, "I will draw a picture in a while, and you just need to build according to it. In less than a month, this place will become a fairyland on earth. By then, , I want to come and visit and enjoy it for a few days.”
Everyone was happy to hear this, and Uncle Zhao loudly ordered the women, "Take out all the good things from home and entertain the adults for a light meal at noon. Don't let the adults be tired or hungry."
Master Zhou waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you eat, but I want to thank everyone for their trust. If such a good place is built in the future, I will follow suit and it will make my face bright."
“You can come and play when the time comes, but we don’t accept your money.”
Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively for a while.
Jiayin is even more curious about how much money it will cost to build a hot spring villa.
But she is a child, so it is not easy to ask.
Fortunately, Biao Liu was still awake and did not get dizzy with joy like the rest of the villagers.
He stepped forward, saluted, and asked, "Sir, if this hot spring is to be used according to your idea, and Zhuangzi has to build a similar one, how much money will it cost?"
Master Zhou thought for a while, then looked at the ordinary clothes on everyone's faces and the broken thatched hut in the distance. He hesitated and responded, "At least a thousand taels."
One thousand taels!
The villagers gasped when they heard this. This is too expensive. The whole village's money together is probably not even half of it.
