Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 32 This land is my family!!
"Confirmed?" Lan Wang asked Li Changting.
"That's absolutely right, it's this land, and this landlord's old wealth is also called Tian Chengfu!" Director Li replied without hesitation.
At this moment, the two traversers were standing in a reception room in the Wenjia Workshop, carefully studying the "List of Shen Clan Properties" that Lan Wang had brought over. After repeated confirmations, the director of the Ministry of Chemical Industry can already be sure that this bully, who took advantage of the danger of others to embezzle the Shen family's property and occupy Mrs. Shen, is the landlord surnamed Tian who owns the land that the traverser wants.
"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more time here." Young Master Lan closed the book with a "snap", "Let's go now, the land in the afternoon will be ours!" ”
"There just happened to be one more thing, I found out that Shen Hanlin, who is still in a coma and recuperating, is likely to have passed through, and you can also help me pay more attention to him in the past two days."
"No problem. Be careful when you go! ”
"Don't worry, I've got rid of a gang that monopolizes Caoyun, are you still afraid that he will be a rich man?!"
......
Although our Young Master Lan had also gone out of the city to the surrounding countryside to have a look, but at those times, it was just to understand the situation briefly, and it was more of a quick look than investigation and research. But this time it was different - Lan Wang not only had to solve the problem of the landlord surnamed Tian occupying the land and persecuting the Shen family, but also had to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation of this high-quality land plot that was about to be built into the first industrial zone in the cost plane. This kind of thing is naturally sloppy, but our eldest young master of the Lan family doesn't want to be too public, and he doesn't want his family to know about it. So, he didn't even go home, he went out of the Wenjia Workshop alone, walked out of Qiaojiang Street, turned two more intersections, and came to the main road from Yangguan Town to the north of the city.
Our young master stopped an ox cart. Because this official road out of the city happened to pass through the market in Yangguan Town in the south of the city, and the morning market in the city happened to have just ended at this time, many farmers who came to the city to catch up with the market to buy and sell goods were just about to go out of the city and return to the countryside.
The car that drove the young master Lan was an old farmer who had just finished selling goods - it was an old farmer, in fact, Lan Wang could see that his age was not old, that is, he was in his forties, but due to long-term high-intensity labor, his back was slightly hunched, the hair on his calves had all faded, his skin was dark and rough, his hands and feet were covered with thick calluses, his nails and hand lines were also covered with heavy, indelible mud, and the wrinkles on his face were like knives and axes.
All in all, the first impression of this driver to Lan Wang was that he was an extremely honest farmer, and the whole person was even a little wooden.
"This old man, is it convenient to take a ride? The juniors are going to go outside the city! Our Young Master Lan pushed the brim of his straw hat up, raised his immature smile and asked.
The old farmer didn't see the face of the person who stopped the car clearly at first, but he thought it was a relatively short person, but when he looked closer, it was a little boy who looked like he was just ten years old and nodded!
We can't blame our old farmers for that. After all, a demon of the level of Young Master Lan, I'm afraid that no matter what plane it is, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to produce one!
"You little doll, why don't you stay around adults, what are you doing here?!" The old farmer said angrily to Lan Wang, but there was obviously a kind of pity on his face for the elders, "What about your father?" Hey, I don't know which family is so careless to let such a little fart child come out and wander around alone! ”
The old man's voice revealed kindness, but there was also a sense of vicissitudes that could not be concealed.
"Uncle, don't worry, my father and mother know that I am coming out and know where I am going!" Young Master Lan tried his best to put on a harmless smile from humans and animals, and tried his best to make himself look less like a demon, "You can rest assured, the place I'm going to is not far, it's in Tianjiazhuang in the north of the city, I don't know if you're stopping by?" “
Although Lan Wang had already had a general idea of the infamous reputation of this landlord surnamed Tian before, he was still startled when he saw that the kind old man in front of him immediately lowered his face as soon as he heard the words "Tianjiazhuang", and his whole person was as cold as ice, and he turned his head without saying a word and shook his whip to drive away.
"Hey! Uncle! Elderly! What's wrong with you, don't go! Lan Wang didn't react for a moment, and fell to his feet and shouted.
The old man didn't look back, and continued to drive forward.
Seeing that the ox cart was running farther and farther, and there was no other car on the road, Young Master Lan, who didn't want to walk more than ten miles on foot, could only resort to the killer weapon - the silver bullet offensive.
"Old man!" Lan Wang trotted all the way to catch up, trying his best to get closer to the moving ox cart, "You can give me a ride!" I'll give you a gold! Ah no, ten gold! “
The old man still didn't even glance at Lan Wang, but continued to catch the car.
"One hundred gold!" Our Young Master Lan gritted his teeth. In order to get the plot done in one day, Lan Wang had long been prepared for heavy bleeding, but unfortunately when he really spent so much money just to get a car, he still had a little pain in his flesh. "Hey, the medical fee for a small wealthy businessman one morning is gone!" He lamented to himself.
Still, the Silver Bullet Offensive – ah no, the Golden Bullet Offensive – was as effective as ever advertised in literature. As soon as the words "one hundred gold" came out, Young Master Lan saw the old farmer pull the reins violently, strangled the old cow pulling the cart fiercely, and stopped the cart.
Lan Wang understood, immediately hit the snake with the stick, jumped into the old farmer's car lightly, and thanked him busily: "Thank you, uncle!" Thank you, uncle! ”
The old man ignored him, just snorted faintly, and continued to catch the car.
"Hey, you old man still looks down on me!" Lan Wang secretly slandered in his heart, "It is said that everyone has a price in their hearts, and loyalty is only because the benefits of betrayal are not high enough and the costs are not low enough, this time I can be regarded as a teacher!" Just now you ignored me, it's only been a few seconds, it's really fragrant! ”
......
On the way out of the city gate, neither the old nor the young spoke, and the whole ox cart remained silent. The old man still drove the car with a frosty face, and he didn't even look at our young master Lan, and Young Master Lan was naturally happy, so he simply put a straw hat on his face to cover the sun and took a nap - he didn't have to worry about what tricks this old man would play, the moment he stopped the car, Lan Wang was sure that this old man didn't know any martial arts skills, and naturally he was not afraid that this old farmer would have bad intentions and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
In this way, the ox cart rattled along the dirt road by the river outside the city all the way to the north, and the crops on the side of the road were lush; The river breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers and the noisy chirping of cicadas; The sun is still hot, and the silt in the ditches on the dirt road and the wetlands on the river beach are gradually drying up, giving out a unique smell of fermented and rotten countryside; From time to time, there are a few sparse families near and far, and more are the big families of Zhumen, the high-walled, and heavily guarded Haoqiang Grange, and in a few paddy fields, there are even overseers with whips and sticks supervising the work of the serfs in the village.
Lan Wang, who was taking a nap, was naturally not very interested in all this - the land issue and the problem of the excessive power of the powerful landlords needed to be considered after crossing the group. As for now, let's honestly do what is in front of you!
After about half an hour, Lan Wang felt that the speed of the ox cart had slowed down significantly. He knew: he was about to get there.
He took off his straw hat and sat up on the board of the bullock cart. Not far away, a huge circular fortress made of stone strips and blue bricks with an outer wall and a solid rammed earth inner fort stands impressively in a large residential settlement. The whole manor was like a large outer ring with a smaller but more compact inner ring - the large ring was the outermost low wall, and inside were the quarters of serfs, indentured servants, and dependent tenants, as well as some small shops for simple handicrafts; The innermost is the landlord's compound built at no cost. Looking further afield, from this manor to the riverside in the distance, as far as the eye can see, there is a cyan tooth flag with the word "Tian" written on the heads and ridges of all the fields.
Young Master Lan knew that he had arrived at the place: this was the Zhuangzi of the landlord surnamed Tian.
The Lan family took out a hundred gold tickets that had been changed in advance and were intended to be used as pocket money or bribe funds and put it on the ox cart, and were about to turn over and get out of the car, when they heard a slightly tired voice coming from behind:
"Boy, wait a minute!"
Lan Wang looked back. Who else could it be that the old farmer who was driving the car was talking!
"Housheng, you take back this golden ticket. Even if I don't know a basket of words facing the loess with my back to the sky and fighting big, I also know that if I can't carry a car from others, I want them to be able to pay for the harvest of ten acres of paddy fields in ten years! The old man's face was a little complicated, "I didn't pull you before, because I had some festivals with this Tian family decades ago. “
He paused: "It's a deep holiday, the kind that can't be solved in this life." I hate, I want revenge, but my arm is twisted over my thigh? I had to hide, and the farther away I could, the better. At the beginning of today, you didn't pull the car because you were angry, but because you were afraid - afraid of running into all the people and things related to the Tian family! “
"But today I saw that you were generous and didn't dress like a strong child in the countryside, so I thought, you must have your reason for going to the Tian family, why should I not be kind to others and make it convenient for others? Seeing that you are also like a good boy, I also advise you: Don't mess with this Tian family easily! Even if you have a big business, you will be in trouble! “
Lan Wang's heart warmed slightly, and the little dissatisfaction caused by the uncle's "refusal to ride" was gone at this time. From what the old farmer said, he felt a kind of simplicity, simplicity and clarity that he had not seen for a long time.
He just stuffed the golden ticket into his hand: "Uncle, it's hard to chase after a word, I said that it was a hundred gold, so I had to spit and nail!" “
"As for this Tian family...... Hmph, uncle, don't worry, before the sun goes down today, I will let the Tian family spit out all the things that have been eaten over the years, and also let all those who have suffered from the scourge of the Tian family have revenge and revenge! “
"The reason is very simple: this Tian family has robbed my family of a piece of land that they have a crush on! That land should have been mine! “
"Since the Tian family doesn't give it, then the young master has no choice but to get this land back by himself!"
