Chapter 123: Impersonation
Zeng Liang picked up a handful of "grass" under his feet, and when he entered the mansion, he picked it up, just to make a court evidence in the mansion.
He presented the "grass" to the old lady, repeated what Fang had just said outside the mansion, and then said sincerely: "Old lady, the little one doesn't want to make trouble, it's just that this fact is too pitiful, and we have nearly a thousand acres of fertile land in the east of the city, so because of planting this thing, all our tenant farmers are miserable." In the past, even if you planted ordinary grains, it was two seasons a year, and as long as you worked hard and paid the rent, you could still get by. But this year......"
Speaking of this, the burly man's eyes couldn't help but redden, turned his head, and sighed heavily.
The old lady looked at the tenant farmers below, and indeed as Zeng Liang said, these tenant farmers were all yellow and thin, with ragged clothes, and the good ones had several patches, and the bad ones were full of holes one after another, and they didn't use cloth to make up for them. The old lady could not help but be gloomy, she remembered that when she was a housekeeper many years ago, she had occasionally visited those farms, and she had never seen poverty like this.
The eldest lord suddenly said at this time: "Old lady, don't I remember that our house sent 800 wen to each of them?"
He didn't say anything, but when he said this, the anger of everyone was instantly ignited again. Zeng Liang said angrily: "What's the use of eight hundred wen, is it enough for us to survive the days of no food for half a year?"
The old lady glanced at the old man, who knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and retreated to the back in frustration.
The old lady picked up the handful of "grass" on the table and looked at it. threw it back again, thought for a while, and said, "Zeng Liang, be honest." This matter is the fault of our Yuanning Hou Mansion, because of a moment of negligence, we fell into the hands of the people from the Western Regions, bought back inferior grain seeds, and planted them in the field for everyone, delaying everyone's harvest......"
Before the old lady finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zeng Liang in a loud voice: "Old lady." It's not like that. ”
The old lady frowned: "Isn't that what it looks like?
The eldest lord couldn't help but be anxious, he vaguely guessed what was going on, and he was going to give up some silver. appeased these people, sent them back, and calmed down the situation, but unexpectedly, the old lady actually went to trouble. He knew that he was in front of the old lady. It is extremely bad for their big house. immediately said: "There is nothing that does not look like it, the whole thing is the negligence of our Hou Mansion, so that it has deceived everyone." In this way, I will pay for my own money, compensate for everyone's losses, and help everyone survive this half a year, what do you think?"
Although the second lady's brain is not very bright, her eyes are extremely sharp. Seeing that the eldest man looked flustered, sweat was oozing from the corners of his forehead. I think there's a doorway. Anyway, during this time, she was in a panic, and suppressing the big house was something she was happy to do, so she raised her delicate willow eyebrows and said, "Master, don't be in a hurry to sprinkle money, and listen to what these tenant farmers have to say." Besides, these tenant farmers have come to ask for justice, not any money. ”
The eldest old man glared at the second lady angrily, as soon as he saw the second lady appear in front of the old lady, he knew that something bad was going to happen, maybe the second lady did it.
He was annoyed in his heart, wiped a handful of sweat beads from his head, and looked at the second lady: "Second brother and sister, then what do you think, is our Yuanning Hou Mansion a loss of justice?"
The second lady smiled slightly, ignored the eldest master, turned her head to the old lady and said, "Old lady, in my opinion, these tenant farmers are honest farmers, no, and they don't have the courage to do anything to frame our Yuanning Marquis Mansion." So, there must be something strange in this. ”
The old lady looked at the two people on the left and right, and said impatiently: "Okay, stop arguing, if you are noisy in front of outsiders, what kind of system will you become, and you are not afraid of losing the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion!"
The second lady pursed her lips, smiled indifferently, and did not forget to glance at the eldest master defiantly. Of course, the eldest master's mouth was not as good as the second lady, and when he saw that the old lady was angry, he had to hold back his mouth and shut his mouth.
The old lady glanced at Zeng Liang in front of her: "If there is anything to say, I, an old woman, will support you." ”
Zeng Liang nodded and glanced at the handful of "grass" on the table: "Old lady, this problem lies in this crystal rice." ”
The old lady was a little impatient: "I know this is an inferior grain. ”
Zeng Liang shook his head: "Old lady, this is not an inferior grain seed, this is not crystal rice at all." ”
"What!" Not only the old lady, but also the eldest and second lady involuntarily opened their eyes wide, looking at the handful of "grass", trying to see what it was.
You must know that in business, if you encounter some profiteers who are shoddy, it is also an occasional thing, and you can only consider yourself unlucky. But if another commodity is passed off as another commodity, it is absolutely nothing, and the nature of this kind of thing is bad, and the punishment of Jokhang for this serious fraud is also quite severe, so all along, those profiteers are at most shoddy, and the thing of impersonation has really not happened.
"What do you mean by that?" the old lady steadied herself and looked at Zeng Liang, "Where can you tell that this is fake?"
Zeng Liang obviously came prepared, and immediately took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to the old lady: "Old lady, please take a look, this is an appraisal made by a director of the Ministry of Industry who is begged by the villain, he is well versed in agricultural affairs, and he is also quite good at studying all kinds of grains. He could see at a glance that this was not the crystal rice of the Western Regions at all, but the worthless Danqiao Mai!"
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help frowning, Dan Qiaomai, what is this, she has never heard of it!
Zeng Liang continued: "We don't know what this Danqiao wheat is, how it looks so similar to the crystal rice in the Western Regions. The director of the Ministry of Industry said that this kind of Danqiao watch is produced in the Western Regions, which is extremely barren and easy to survive, and it looks similar to the newly developed crystal rice in the Western Regions, so it is easy to be used by those with bad intentions to deceive everyone and seek huge profits. ”
The old lady looked at the paper paper, and sure enough, what was written on it was exactly the same as what Zeng Liang said, and the paper was also stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Industry. She suddenly said: "The hateful people of the Western Regions even want to cheat about this, and they really want to solve their hatred with a thousand cuts!"
Zeng Liang said again in an astonishing voice: "Old lady, this is not a fake made by people from the Western Regions!"
"What, not from the Western Regions?" the old lady was shocked again, she felt that she had lived her whole life, and she had never encountered such a thing, "Then you say, who did this?"
"We are from the Central Plains. Zeng Liang had already prepared, turned to the two young men behind him and said, "Xiao Shu, Huzi, you two go outside and bring that person in." ”
The two young men answered in unison, turned and went out, and in a few moments pushed in a large man who was tied up like a brown man.
The man was dressed as a big cannibal, covered by a black robe, wearing a large black cloak, and his face was also covered with a black cloth, making a "squeak" sound, presumably his mouth was blocked by Zeng Liang's tenant farmers with rags.
The man was very big and kept struggling, and Xiao Bolt and Huzi worked hard together to barely restrain him. Zeng Liang stepped forward and kicked him in the crook of the leg, and he knelt on the ground as soon as he stepped forward.
Zeng Liang tore off the black cloth he covered his face, and when everyone looked at it, they saw that this person looked quite weird, not quite like a person from the Central Plains. But after pulling out the rag stuffed in his mouth, the first thing he burst out of the sentence was: "Spare your life, I say I will do anything!"
The voice is pure, and he is really authentic from the Central Plains. (To be continued......)
