There were three people who entered, one older and two younger. Saitama looked at them, and the clothes on them were very shabby and patched. The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, and his two cheekbones stood high. The two young men also looked yellow and thin. At first glance, you can tell that their lives are not good. Saitama asked the butler to bring the head of the village in. As soon as the man came in, he knelt down and walked to Saitama.

"Young grandma, don't believe their nonsense, climbing and biting people indiscriminately. Saitama said coldly.

"Shut up. As soon as the man saw Saitama's cold expression, and saw the tenants standing next to him, he swallowed the injustice he wanted to shout out back into his stomach.

"What's your name, you're the oldest here, tell me what's going on?" Saitama said to the older tenant.

As soon as the old man heard Saitama point at him, he immediately fell to his knees.

"The little old man's name is Pan Shun. Young grandma, we really can't survive anymore, so we made this decision. As he spoke, he was already crying. Saitama didn't speak, but looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.

"There was a drought in the summer this autumn, and in the autumn there was a lot of rain, so there was no grain in many fields, and there was no food in the house. Other Zhuangzi have given out some relief grain from the government, but we don't have anything here. Many people have to pull out the weeds in the field to eat. ”

"That's right, we don't have any food from the government in our house. Because the minister said that there is still a lot of grain in the Zhuangzi, and he is ready to exempt you from rent for a year this year. ”

"Don't be obedient, why haven't we seen a single grain in this case, this guy also told us yesterday that we will increase the rent this year. A young man in a brown shirt next to the old man said indignantly.

"Yes, a few days ago, Zhuangtou led people to collect rent from house to house, and we all said that we couldn't even eat, so where could we have the money to pay rent. But he didn't care about it, and when he got home, he took whatever he saw. Another man in blue also chimed in.

The housekeeper was very angry when he heard this, and began to think that this person really didn't know what to do, and the young grandmother said such disrespectful things to them. Later, I heard that the head of the village actually increased the rent without permission. Even more angry,

"You lard-blinded fellow, you dare to fight such an idea. The butler also sensed the root of the matter, and kicked the head of the village.

Saitama's voice also became stern. This kind of behavior simply ruined Li Yi's reputation, and asked the head of the village:

"What's going on?"

"This ......" The head of the village did not dare to deny it at this time, after all, the housekeeper came to inform him personally, so he lowered his head.

When the tenants saw everything in front of them, they realized that they had been deceived by the head of the village. Saitama looked at the tenants again and said:

"But even so. You can't come to the door like this, shouting to beat people to death, if someone dies, things will become complicated, after all, there is still a royal law, this reasonable will not become unreasonable. ”

"Young grandma, you don't know, you don't know......" The old man who called himself Pan Shun couldn't speak in a choked voice.

"Uncle Pan, let me tell you for you. The man in brown clothes said, and Pan Shun nodded.

"Young grandmother, villain Tang Yong. Here's the thing. Uncle Pan has a granddaughter, Xiaoying, who is thirteen years old this year. This Zhuangtou went to Uncle Pan's house yesterday to collect rent, and Uncle Pan's house really couldn't get anything, and the Zhuangtou said that if there was no thing, he would take someone to pay the rent. Uncle Pan naturally disagreed, but who knew that the head of the village actually brought a few people to kidnap that Xiaoying at night. This morning, we all found out about it, and we couldn't get angry......"

"How can there be such a thing?" Saitama couldn't believe her ears when she heard it, she didn't expect that there would be such a thing, a small village head would be so fearless to rob the people's daughter.

"What about the girl?" asked Saitama sharply.

"In. Locked in the firewood room. Zhuang Tou stammered. At this time, he regretted that he might not be able to work long in this Zhuangzi just because Li Yi showed his distrust of him as soon as he took over Zhuangzi. He just wanted to take advantage of Li Yi's absence. Secretly collected the rent and ran away. Who knew that his brain was confused, and when he fell in love with that little girl, he wanted to take it with him, but he didn't expect that this group of honest tenants would actually rebel together.

The housekeeper hurriedly ordered someone to bring out the girl who was locked in the firewood room. That Pan Shun saw his granddaughter. So he knelt down for Saitama.

"Thank you for your kindness, little old man is grateful. Saitama saw an old man kneeling in front of him like this, and he was also a little unaccustomed, and said in a loud voice:

"Hurry up, get up. That Pan Shuncai stood up with the support of two young people.

Saitama saw that the child, thin and small, with tears and dust on her face, she couldn't see what it looked like for a long time, and the clothes on her body were also tattered, and she could hardly see her original color, so she told Liang'er to take her down to clean up.

"Today's incident is inseparable from this Zhuangtou, the second master naturally can't get around them when he comes back, and now that your granddaughter has been found, shouldn't you also go back separately and don't gather here." We won't accept everyone's rent this year, and we'll talk to you folks when we go back. Also," Saitama looked at the butler,

"Last time, the second master said that there is still much food in reserve, so let's send it to everyone first. ”

"Yes, young grandma. The housekeeper did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and was about to go down to open the warehouse to release grain, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the head of the village tied on the ground, and said:

"Young grandmother, this village head?"

"Lock it up first, send someone to watch it, and wait for the second master to come back. ”

"Yes. The butler commanded and brought the man down.

As soon as the people in the room left, Saitama's spirit relaxed, and then he felt tired. Qiushuang was distressed, so she spread a thick mattress on the kang and let Saitama lie down to rest for a while, while she gently beat her back on the side.

At this moment, the butler suddenly ran in in a panic,

"Oh no, young grandma, it's not good. When Saitama heard this, the heart that had just been put down lifted.

"What's going on, tell me slowly. ”

"The granary is empty. ”

"What?"

"I went to the granary just now and saw that it had been emptied. ”

"Who did it. ”

"I have already asked the head of the village, and he said that he had sold the grain to the rice shop in the city at a high price before the prince released the grain a few days ago. ”

"It's audacious!" Saitama was furious when she heard this.

"This guy thinks he won't be able to work here for long, and he will run away after getting a ticket. It's a trivial matter to deal with him, but how can the tenants outside get rid of it? Now they are just going to buy food, and they can't make up so much for a while. ”

Saitama also had a hard time for a while. Indeed, since King Fu ordered the government to release grain for disaster relief, the market price of grain has stabilized a lot, but it is still very high, and more importantly, everyone is reluctant to sell. It was a headache where to gather so much food for a while, but she had seen the appearance of the tenants just now, and if she was really hungry because she couldn't fill her stomach, she really couldn't tell what she would do.

After thinking about it, Saitama made up his mind and said to the butler:

"Well, then, take some of the grain from the stock of our house, and buy some from the grain stores in the city, whatever the price, and send them away. ”

"But young grandma, not to mention the fact that we have a lot of money in our house, it would not be good if the surrounding Zhuangzi knew. Because in order to make ends meet, they have driven away many tenants and have less expenses. ”

"Then you can't see death without help. Besides, in the spring of next year, all Zhuangzi will have to find people, and where will they go to find such people at that time, but now they are just some rations, although they can be bought in the end, but if they can't find people, they will miss the agricultural time, and the loss will not be greater. When the housekeeper heard this, he felt that what Saitama said was reasonable, but he didn't expect that his own delicate young grandmother would have such insight, which really can't be underestimated.

So the housekeeper went out and told the tenants what Saitama had said, and the tenants immediately cheered and wanted to come and kowtow to Saitama, but the housekeeper persuaded those people to stop them, but they still couldn't resist the tenants' request, and asked them to send a few people in and kowtow to Saitama.

This time, a total of five people came, in addition to Pan Shun and Tang Yong, there were three people, and one of them was a middle-aged woman.

As soon as the five of them entered, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Saitama three times. Saitama shouted at them to their feet.

"Young grandmother, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva, great compassion saved us. ”

"Speaking of which, we also have it, such a bastard is put here to make everyone feel wronged. But it's all over, and this Zhuangzi will have to rely on everyone in the future, so don't see outside. Saitama said.

At this time, Liang'er took out Pan Shun's granddaughter Xiaoying, and had already changed her clothes, and her hair was simply combed. Only then did Saitama realize that Xiaoying was quite delicate, no wonder Zhuang had evil thoughts.

"Yingzi, don't hurry up and kneel down to thank the young grandmother for saving her life. Pan Shun said. Hearing this, Xiaoying quickly knelt down and thanked Saitama.

"Young grandmother, little old man still has one more thing, I want to beg young grandma. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Saitama was a little strange.

"Little Lao'er wants to ask the young grandmother to take Yingzi back. Xiao Lao'er is old, Yingzi's parents are gone, and she really can't control her, so she can learn something from the young grandmother, and she can find a good family in the future. ”

"This ......" Saitama was still muttering, and this unclear way of bringing someone to the mansion also made her hesitate.

"If the young grandmother is embarrassed, then forget it. Pan Shun's eyes were full of disappointment, and Saitama looked at Yingzi and said:

"Do you want to come with me?"

"The young grandmother saved Yingzi, and Yingzi is willing. Yingzi was reluctant to give up her grandfather, but at this moment she was really grateful to Saitama, it was the fairy-like young grandmother in front of her who saved her from that nightmarish place, but she was reluctant to give up her grandfather.

Saitama looked at Eiko's eyes, revealing sincerity, and said:

"In that case, I'll take you. ”

"Thank you, Grandma. Pan Shun said excitedly. Several other people also praised Saitama Bodhisattva's heart, but no one noticed a trace of disappointment flashing in Tang Yong's eyes. (To be continued.) )
