Chapter 12: Above the Court (Part II)
Wan Yun and Wang Jun stared at Tian Shuwen with pale faces, and when they glanced at each other, they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. What's next?
The young man who had been following Wan Yun and Wang Jun and bowing his head silently suddenly raised his head and said, "In this case, these lands are your Liu family's." ”
The young man walked forward as he spoke, and Wang Jun, Wan Yun and the others naturally made way for him.
Yang Jia saw him from afar and couldn't help laughing: "This kid is hiding behind, I don't know what idea he has planned?" ”
Lu Yun's heart moved, and asked, "Mr. Yang, this person?" ”
"You'll find out soon."
When Liang Xi saw him, he couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that your kid has been hiding behind." ”
Liu Wu was a little flustered, his appearance was probably the kind of weak heart when a thief stole money and then bumped into someone.
"I've seen Taishou-sama. However, this case is not fought by our Zheng family. ”
"Won't fight?" Cool habits are a little hard to believe.
"I really don't fight. Just as this one hundred and sixty-nine acres of land, I accidentally threw it away, and gave it to the Liu family for nothing! ”
Everyone roared and began to discuss more excitedly.
Zheng actually flinched like this? Before, didn't Zheng Sheng categorically declare that he and the Liu family "swore not to stand together"?
"If the Zheng clan retreats like this, it seems to be a very wonderful step to be able to turn enemies into friends with the Nanyang Liu clan." Lu Yun muttered.
Yang Jia nodded.
Liu Wu couldn't help but be happy, and then felt that something was wrong, they won not only more than 100 acres of land without a contract, but also more fields with a contract. Does the Zheng family want to use this more than 100 acres of land to win the "friendship" of the Liu family?
That's too much to underestimate them!
Just when Liu Wu was about to find a way to blackmail more, he only heard Zheng Sheng say again.
"Since this is the case, then all the agreements we made between the Zheng clan and these people before should be canceled! We, the Zheng family, will no longer buy surplus grain from them at market price. ”
"No, you can't! Shizi. The villagers suddenly realized something, "Shizi, we have agreed, how can you go back on it?" ”
"Yes, Shizi, you can't do this! Don't abandon us! ”
Zheng Sheng looked around and said with a smile: "The market price acquisition is a benefit made by me who sympathize with the hard work of the Zheng tenants. Now that you are from the Liu family, of course I won't accept it! ”
"We, the Liu family, also buy the surplus grain in your hands at the market price." Liu Wu hurriedly added.
Hearing this, the faces of the villagers were full of hesitation and hesitation.
"Oh? And besides, you can't use my canal or my waterwheel. The farm tools we provided to the villagers had to be taken back, and the common cars, horses, and livestock could not be used. In short, all the convenience is gone. ”
Liu Wu took a deep breath and continued to comfort: "We will also give you favorable conditions. There will be farm tools, carts, horses, livestock, waterwheels, and canals! ”
Zheng Sheng smiled: "Farm tools, carts, horses, livestock, and waterwheels, you can all imitate me, but what about the canals?" Every river and canal in Wanquan Township is repaired by Zheng Sheng, what do you want to do? ”
"We Liu can also dig a canal." Liu Wu gritted his teeth and insisted.
"The rivers in Wanquan Township are all repaired by me, and if you want to irrigate the land, you must draw water from the river. Unless you're diverting water from a river dozens of miles away. ”
Zheng Sheng watched Liu Wu's face slowly turn purple and blue, and continued to say in a nonchalant tone: "As long as you are not too troublesome, you would rather give up the near and far, get twice the result with half the effort, and be rich and capricious." ”
Liu Wu's eyes widened, and he walked quickly in front of Zheng Sheng, his appearance was obviously a loss of celebrity demeanor, only to see him ask viciously: "Why can't we use the water of the Zhai River, the river water is not your Zheng family's!" ”
"However, it is the Zhai River that I dredged, specifically: Beixi, Mingquan Creek, Beizhai Shui, Nanzhai Shui, and the Zheng Canal that connects them. I have dredged these rivers, and you want to draw water from them? Well...... Should you pay me a fee? Zheng Sheng said seriously.
Liu Wu stopped talking. He was silent, unaware of what he was thinking.
The villagers were even more flustered, and soon after, Tian Shuwen was even more bold to propose: "Shizi, in addition to the more than ten acres of land that was reclaimed last year and have not yet had time to become naturalized, my family also has hundreds of acres of public land and eighty acres of newly opened fields. Decaying ...... Can't do it. So, I'd rather not sign a contract with the Liu family for the land, which of you wants? I'm two for one! ”
The remaining villagers suddenly came to their senses and shouted one after another: "I don't want it, I don't want these lands either!" ”
"Son, we have been fooled and done wrong, please forgive us!"
Liu Wu felt that the change in the situation had exceeded his imagination, and he coldly watched those "foolish people" bow down and plead for Zheng Sheng.
Liang Xi coughed and asked: "Zheng Shizi, is it okay for this matter to end like this?"
Zheng Sheng nodded indifferently.
Liu Wu walked out of the hall without saying a word.
The people outside the hall began to talk in louder voices.
The little maid Jasper was even more excited, in her opinion, it was an incredible thing that Zheng Sheng, who was the same age as them, won the middle-aged Liu Wu.
"Zheng Shizi is amazing! Childe, what do you say?"
Lu Yun just wanted to nod, but saw a man walking up quickly, and he said angrily: "Where did you come from, wild boy, get out of here!" Get out of the way! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and flicked it violently, knocking the two light and soft little girls with Jasper and Lu Yun to the ground.
Then, another one stood in his way.
Liu Wu felt that today was really bad luck. If you lose the lawsuit, you will lose. Walking on the road, there are people who don't have long eyes blocking the road. Although they were two teenagers, didn't they notice that the people next to them had already ducked aside and moved out of the way?
His subordinates drove away the two, and another one appeared, only...... It's an even more troublesome old man.
"Sir, please give way." Liu Wu was very polite.
Yang Jia looked at Zheng Sheng, who had already come out, and suddenly remembered something: "Apologize." Apologize to the son-in-law. ”
Liu Wu didn't want to cause trouble again. And this old man, he can't just drive people away like before.
So, "Sir, please let me go!" Liu Wu repeated what he had just said.
"Are the Liu family all so domineering? Even bullying the old and the young seems to be a matter of course! Zheng Sheng walked over slowly.
He glanced at the two people who fell to the ground, and beckoned Wan Yun, Wang Jun and others behind him: "You go and help the two little brothers up." ”
Lu Yun was dizzy, and after listening to Zheng Sheng's words, he was not very satisfied. She gritted her teeth and ignored Wan Yun and the others who came to help actively, she and Biyu helped each other up.
However, at this time, everyone's attention was no longer on them, but on the people of the Zheng and Liu clans who confronted each other again.
