The weather in Huainan is extremely splendid, with a spring breeze and warm sunshine, a golden beauty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Obviously the time is right, but the crops are in a miserable situation, from time to time there are tenants mourning, looking at the crops with heavy losses, their eyes are full of distress.

Several men sat directly on the ground, dejected.

"Why are you so depressed?"

A kind voice came in, and several men raised their heads weakly and looked at the comer.

"Butler, it's you."

Hu Hai's arrival did not make them half happy, the eldest lady of the owner was so tough, Hu Hai was just a little steward, and he couldn't change anything at all.

"Butler, what do you say should be done about this? If the eldest lady doesn't get oil and salt, we have no other way, if there is no harvest, we will be starved to death this year, but if we leave the Xia family, how can we afford to pay a hundred taels of silver. ”

All the tenants were so sad that they could only find someone to talk to.

When Hu Hai heard this, he also frowned slightly.

"Eh, the eldest lady insists on this, and we have no other way."

"Didn't the old lady manage it before? Can we ......?"

"Nope."

Before the man's words were finished, he was rejected by Hu Hai.

"Not to mention that Huainan is far away from the capital, from the perspective of relationship, do you think the old lady is willing to believe her granddaughter, or believe in us people?"

Hu Hai's words made these people speechless for a while.

"Are we going to wait to starve to death?" There are men who are unwilling.

"Steward Hu, you know a lot of people, can you help us find a way out?"

Someone asked tentatively, Hu Hai raised his eyebrows, his eyes were embarrassed, and when several men saw his slightly tangled appearance, they knew that things might take a turn for the better, and each of them had bright eyes.

"Butler, you can help us."

At the request of the crowd, the Hu steward finally loosened his expression.

"If you want to find another way, it's not impossible."

"You say!"

A group of men looked at him with burning eyes, but only one man standing at the end was frowning, quietly looking at the one in front of him.

The peasant woman beside him kept tugging at him.

Whispered beside him, "You should go over quickly, there will be no such shop in this village after that!" ”

This peasant woman was the same woman that Xia Nan had inquired about before.

She pulled the man, but the man was unmoved, the woman was helpless, the man was extremely rigid, and she could only watch Hu Hai tell the others the way out.

And the man's eyes were embarrassed, and then he seemed to have made some decision and quietly left the crowd.

"The Jiang family recently intends to develop a field in the east, and there is a shortage of manpower, and I was also told by a friend who works in the Jiang family, if you think so......"

"Think about it!"

Several men looked delighted, and then hesitated.

"Yes...... On the Xia family's side, what about our contract? ”

Hu Hai smiled knowingly.

"The Jiang family has been short of people recently, if you pass, the money to compensate the Xia family will be paid by the Jiang family, not only that, but the Jiang family only collects 30% of the rent a year, and the rest will be handed over to you."

Hearing this, the eyes of the people present lit up, "Careless, what you said is true?" Is the Jiang family really willing to help us compensate for the one hundred taels of silver, and only charge thirty percent of the rent? ”

"Absolutely."

Hu Hai's words undoubtedly gave them a booster, and someone immediately said.

"If that's the case, why are we still staying in the Xia family and being angry with this eldest lady, the Xia family's anger is exhausted, and they are still desperate to detain us, and if we stay any longer, we will not starve people to death, everyone, I Zhang San has decided, go to the Jiang family, I still have a family to take care of, I'm sorry everyone!"

Zhang San's words caused a burst of embarrassment, everyone present was a little hesitant, some people just wanted to vent, but they didn't expect Hu Hai to really make a suggestion, and Zhang Sandang readily agreed.

A few men hesitated for a moment, and then another man stepped forward.

"I, Li Si, am also willing to go to Jiang's house, I don't want to stay here anymore and be exploited by this eldest lady!"

Zhang San and Li Siyi took the lead, and immediately several people also procrastinated and agreed.

Hu Haizheng nodded in satisfaction, but heard a delicate voice behind him.

"It turns out that Hu is so familiar with the affairs of the Jiang family?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly stunned, and when they looked at the people who came, a group of people who were still talking like a river just now instantly deflated, especially Zhang Sanli Si's complexion became the most ugly.

Hu Hai turned around and pulled a stiff smile on his face, "Miss." ”

"Steward Hu, I heard that you are very close to the Jiang family? Looking for a new owner for my tenants? ”

Xia Nan still had a smile on his face, but this smile made everyone present frightened.

"Miss, you may have heard something, I just analyzed some of the Jiang family's farming strategies for them."

Xia Nan walked to Hu Hai's side, glanced him up and down, and then walked around to Zhang San, Li Si and the others.

When she returned to Mr. Tong, her face was lowered.

"Steward Hu, you are the steward of this area, my Xia family treats you well, but you 'lead by example' and take my people to join the Jiang family, what are your intentions?"

"Miss, wronged, Hu definitely doesn't, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhang San and Li Si."

"Yes, yes, Steward Hu definitely didn't do this, Miss, you have to believe us."

Xu was caught, and all the people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Oh? So what is it? ”

Xia Nan had a dark green piece of wood in his palm, the wood was shiny, and the surface was as smooth as a firefly in the sun, and the eye-catching word 'sea' instantly stabbed Hu Hai's eyes.

"Butler, you don't recognize this thing."

"Hu Hai, you didn't expect it, in the end, it would be me who exposed you with my own hands!"

Ah Heng stared at Hu Hai.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, he continued, "When you forced my mother to give birth to me, you should have thought of the scene now, I still can't forget how she died tragically, do you think I don't know that you did it?" I've stayed with you all these years so that one day I can avenge my mother! A man like you, who looks like a dog and has a hypocritical face, is actually a devil's heart! ”

"This ...... Isn't Ah Heng the right-hand man next to Steward Hu? ”

Some people are not surprised.

Ah Heng's words made the people present stunned, and before many people could react, he continued.

"You people, do you really think that this beast with a beast face and a heart is really good for you? What kind of Jiang family will pay compensation for you, and only charge 30% of the rent, it is all a lie made up by him, this person has long been attached to the Jiang family, if it weren't for this person, there would not have been any locust plague last year, how could the crops have suffered heavy losses, and how could you not solve the problem of food and clothing! ”

Ah Heng's accusations fell heavily on everyone's hearts, and some people were shocked in their hearts, still disbelief.

"What proof do you have?!"

"Steward Hu is definitely not such a person!"

"With this in the eldest lady's hand, you won't know that everyone in the Jiang family has a piece of wood that belongs to him, and this piece engraved with the word 'sea' is Hu Hai's!"

After Ah Heng finished speaking, some people were still stunned, and when they turned their eyes to Hu Guan, they were full of disbelief.

"Nonsense, right?" Xia Nan's thin lips opened lightly, and a voice without any emotion came from her lips, cold and delicate.

Hu Hai didn't speak, but his eyes looked at Ah Heng behind Xia Nan, looking at his gaze, full of hatred.

"You...... Is it really that kid back then? ”

Ah Heng sneered, and the gaze that looked at him changed from hatred at the beginning to full of disgust.

He didn't even recognize him.

It's really a merciless person.

If he hadn't used force on his mother and ordered his mother to be tortured to death in order to maintain his good reputation for kindness, he might not have hated him so much.

The facts were already in front of them, and the men present had no other expressions except for shock, and they were almost flustered and didn't dare to look at Xia Nan again.

"Nonsense, I think, we need to have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about, as you said, I'm from the Jiang family." was ripped off his mask, and Hu Hai no longer disguised.

"I want to work hard for the Xia family for so many years, but what has the Xia family given me? How much can you get each year by guarding this crop? Scold. ”

Xia Nan was silent.

"Miss, the Xia family...... It can't be long-term, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no matter how powerful the Xiaweihou Mansion is, your hand can't stretch out so long, you don't have to sit on the battle of trapped beasts anymore, and honestly hand over this land to the Jiang family, so that you can still get out of the way. ”

After Hu Hai said this, he took a deep look at Ah Heng, turned around and left.

Xia Nan frowned.

What does Hu Hai's words mean?

What is the battle of trapped beasts, if you don't hand over the land to the Jiang family, you can't get out of it?

She didn't have time to think, so she confronted the group below.

"You have also seen that Hu Hai is a member of the Jiang family, if any of you want to go with him, I will never keep him, and the Xia family will never ask you for any compensation, and I should compensate you."

As soon as Xia Nan's words came out, everyone looked at each other, and then a few people really stood up, led by Zhang San and Li Si, who had always been looking at Hu Haima.

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously!"

After speaking, a few people really followed Hu Hai's footsteps.

The man at the bottom was also a little throbbing, but he stayed.

These people may not be convinced by Xia Nan, but Xia Nan is still very satisfied with the current situation.

"Guys, I gave you a choice, but you chose to stay, which means that you are in the same boat as me. I assure you that you will be rewarded this year! ”

Someone hesitated.

"But after these tosses and turns, I am afraid that there will be no results in planting rice in this land."

"Who said I was going to grow rice?"

"That's ......"

"Plant lotus roots, plant soybeans!"

As soon as Xia Nan's words came out, the tenants below widened their eyes.

Lotus root and soybeans, they have never planted these things, and they don't know how to plant these things, Xia Nan is not too troublesome, and talked to them in detail.

"Since you trust my Xia family, the Xia family can't let you down, this year there will be no rent, lotus root potatoes can be pulled to the town to sell, and the silver money in exchange will be left for yourself, wait for this land to be raised for two or three years, and then plant back rice."

After solving Hu Hai's affairs, he explained the matter of the crops again, and handed over the rest to Mr. Tong to manage.

Xia Nan and Baoyue returned to the house in the pioneer car.

This mansion was originally built by the Ji family and handed over to the steward here, and over time, it was also named Hu Hai's mansion, Xia Nan this time, it was not so cheap for him.

I thought that entering the door would experience a battle of lips and tongues, but to Xia Nan's surprise, she went exceptionally smoothly all the way, and the little guy guarding the door did not stop her, and entered the hall through the hanging flower gate, but did not see Hu Hai's figure.

Instead, she met someone she didn't expect.

Isn't he already gone? said goodbye that day, and why did he appear here now, Xia Nan didn't ask much, just called him.

"Young Master Yan, can your wounds be healed?"

"It's fine."

His voice was very low and pleasant, Xia Nan raised his eyes, just in front of his gaze, the former was holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup, his right hand was slightly holding the tea lid, and his slender and beautiful fingers were contrasting with the blue and white porcelain, which was particularly good-looking.

"Miss Xia, I may want to bother for a while longer."

Xia Nan was stunned.

What did he say......

"There are some things that have not been resolved, and they are bothered."

Something still hasn't been resolved? Xia Nan suddenly remembered his bloody injury, why Yan Jue appeared here, and how could he have an injury.

But it was clear that these things were not for her to know.

Xia Nan thought that the matter here had probably been resolved, she only needed to stay for a few more days, and when the new steward arrived, she would return to Beijing.

Thinking so, she answered.

"Although Yan Gongzi lives, is it still a wing room there?"

The latter bowed slightly.

The two of them were sitting upright, when suddenly there was a throbbing in the doorway.

"This is my mansion, why don't you let me in!" It was Hu Hai's angry voice.

Hu Hai's face was gloomy, but the little guy at the door had a tense face, and he stopped him from entering.

"Please leave."

Hu Haiqi knotted, these people were all selected by him, and they have been following him for so many years, this is obviously his address, but now, he is not even qualified to go in!

The noise here also startled Xia Nan and them.

Xia Nanxiu raised her eyebrows, and when she walked out of the front hall, she saw Hu Hai with an angry face.

She couldn't help but be suspicious when she saw the two little guys at the door stopping him.

If she remembers correctly, the people in this mansion are all Hu Hai's people, how can they ...... Are these people reversed?

Xia Nan's eyes flickered, and a cold and handsome face suddenly crossed in his mind, and then he thought of the appearance of him drinking tea in the hall just now, and an idea suddenly spread in his mind.

Could it be ...... The people in the house have been tamed by him?

But why did he help her?

Xia Nan was puzzled, but there was no reason for a burst of happiness in her heart.

Xia Nan ignored Hu Hai, who was bouncing outside the door, and happily returned to the house, but Hu Hai couldn't break in, so he could only leave angrily.

Just as he was leaving, a dark shadow followed in his footsteps. (To be continued.) )
