Three days later, the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion.

"Sir, it's not good. The porter trotted all the way around the shadow wall and headed straight for the antechamber. When he came to the stone steps in front of the front hall, he didn't step on his feet, and fell to the ground with a "plop", and he didn't care how much it hurt to fall, so he got up as soon as he got up, and even climbed into the hall with a roll, and shouted while climbing: "The big lord is not good, in front of the house, in front of the house, in front of the house is going to fight." ”

The eldest lord Gu Hai was talking to a long history of the palace of Wang Zhongjing, a man with a different surname in the court, and when he saw that the old man Wang in the concierge was undressed and climbed down, his face sank by three points, and when he heard the concierge say something like "The eldest man is not good", his face suddenly became angry, and he said angrily: "Okay, you bad old man, don't you see that I have a guest here?

The old man of the porter looked at the old man anxiously, he didn't care who was sitting in the room, he said anxiously: "The old man, the eyebrows are burning, you better go out and have a look, if it's late, maybe someone will die!"

When the old man heard this, his face changed, and he didn't care about reprimanding Old Man Wang for not understanding the rules, so he stood up "openly": "What do you say, what kind of life is not human life, make it clear." ”

Old man Wang took a breath and said, "Master, you better go out and have a look, everything will be clear when you get outside." ”

The long history of the Zhongjing palace is very acquainted, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he got up and said goodbye, the eldest lord thought about it, and hurriedly ordered someone to send him out of the back door, and said a lot of sorry words, and then followed the old man Wang towards the door of the mansion.

At the entrance of the Yuanning Marquis's Mansion, there were about forty or fifty tenant farmers. These poor families were all dressed in brown kudzu clothes. Facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they all have tanned skin and shiny, but their faces are full of anxious and indignant looks.

"You are ......" the lord doesn't care. I don't know any of these tenant farmers.

The porter hurriedly said: "Master, these are the tenant farmers of the Zhuangzi in the east of the city. ”

The eldest lord said "oh", how did he know what was in the east of the city or in the west of the city, anyway, it was the tenant farmers of their Yuanning Hou Mansion, renting the fields of their Yuanning Hou Mansion, and they could hand over the grain on time.

He coughed and picked up his beard, which was very neatly trimmed. "Is there something wrong?"

"Something, of course there's something. A stout man in the crowd stepped forward, "If it's okay." Why are we here in front of your Yuanning Hou Mansion, could it be that we are here to guard the door of your Yuanning Hou Mansion?"

This man spoke a little funny, but no one laughed, and everyone glared at the old man angrily. Looks like you've been deceived.

The eldest lord couldn't help but be a little timid. You must know that you are very likely to suffer a loss if you gather a crowd to make trouble like this. He took a step back, looked around, and saw that his courtyard was surrounded by him, so he guarded his side, and then he was relieved.

These courtyard members are all practitioners, and it is not a problem to deal with a few such people.

"If you have something to say, you have something to say. The old man snapped and opened the fan in his hand and fanned it a few times very elegantly. He asked him to move a wicker chair out and sit on it himself. It looks like a clean official deciding a case.

All the tenant farmers gathered their eyes on the stout man who had just spoken, presumably this man had a few drops of ink in his stomach and understood some truth, so he was pushed out to be a head, to discuss an explanation with the Yuanning Marquis Mansion.

The stout man stepped forward, looked at the old man and said, "My lord, we tenant farmers are all rough people, and we don't speak well, and I hope the big man will bear with me." But we can't be oppressed just because we're coarse people? We people have been working hard in the fields for many years, relying on our own hands to eat, and all we earn is hard-earned money!"

The eldest master's face changed for a moment, didn't he say that he was bullying people in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion? This is remarkable, and this is detrimental to the reputation of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You guys are serious, the Marquis of Yuanning has always been generous to others, how can they oppress the good?"

"Then what do you think this is?" the stout man threw a handful of green but slender seedlings like bean sprouts in front of the old man.

The eldest lord attacked the marquis, his hands were not touched by the spring water, and he had always been pampered, although he often went out with the doormen, but he had ever been concerned about what was planted in the field. He looked at it very seriously and frowned: "This seedling doesn't grow well, wow, it's so weak and small, it's malnourished, right?"

"Phew!" the stout man spouted, "What malnutrition? Since the introduction of this rich rice, our family has been several times more diligent than before, watering and fertilizing, and carefully caring for it. If it had been those ordinary seedlings in the past, they would have grown very well. But look at what this thing is, it won't grow when the time comes, and finally when it sprouts, it grows, but it's like this, how can you let us tenant farmers live?"

The old man couldn't help but shrink his neck, poked his head out to look at the handful of "grass" thrown in front of him, he looked at it for a long time, he really couldn't see it, and his brows were furrowed tightly. Old man Wang couldn't see it, and said in a low voice: "Master, this seems to be ...... It seems to be the crystal rice that the eldest lady sold to the tenant farmers in early spring, right?"

"Hey, this old man has a good eye, yes, it was the crystal rice that the eldest lady sold to us in the Chengdong Farm in the early spring, and it grew into this appearance after half a year. The stout man grunted.

The old man smiled, it turned out that this was the case, he thought something really happened.

He stood up from the rattan chair, paced in front of the stout man, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the case, in fact, this matter is indeed the negligence of our Yuanning Marquis Mansion, so that the person from the Western Regions was deceived, saying that the good is a new variety, but giving us such an inferior breed, of course we can't live." To tell the truth, our Yuanning Hou Mansion also lost nearly a thousand taels of silver. However, since the matter started because of us, and we didn't notice it for a while, our Yuanning Marquis Mansion took responsibility for ourselves, didn't we also waive your grain rent for the first half of the year? Did you also make up 800 wen per person?"

It's okay that Master Gu didn't say anything, as soon as he said this, the crowd that had calmed down suddenly exploded, and they rushed towards him one after another, wanting to judge him. The eldest man was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, sat down on the rattan chair, and saw a yardman standing next to him, and hurriedly pulled it over to block it in front of him, while he shrank his head behind the yardman, and did not dare to look at the angry crowd.

When the old man Wang saw it, he couldn't help frowning, why did the old man wilt first, what should he do about this scene.

There was no way, so he had to stand up and stabilize everyone: "Everyone, be quiet first, and listen to what the little old man has to say." What the eldest man said is the truth, I have also run errands with the little old man, and I still know a little bit about the matter, it is really as the eldest old man said, and he did not deceive everyone, and besides, the Yuanning Hou Mansion also lost a lot of silver because of this incident. ”

The stout man sneered coldly and said, "This old man, you have said something wrong. If it is really because of a momentary negligence, everyone has lost silver, and the Yuanning Marquis Mansion has also made up for part of our losses, and has exempted grain rent and made up money or something, we are not some people who do not know what to do, if this is the case, this matter is fine. However, there is something else to be said about!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the old man Wang was startled, but even the old man was shocked from the rattan chair: "What is the secret?" (to be continued......)
