This time, Shen Fang really understood what it meant to live like a year.

Although it was only two hours from the time of the incident to the end of the afternoon, he still felt that time was passing too slowly, so why didn't the county government rescue soldiers come yet?

During this period, some villagers even climbed the wall and almost jumped in from the wall, but fortunately, a few domestic slaves reacted quickly enough to rush over and finally force them down the wall. But Master Shen, who was taken aback, secretly made up his mind in his heart, after this time, he must increase the height of his courtyard wall, and he could not let the same thing happen to him again.

After waiting for more than two hours in such a tormented way, there was a shout outside, and then the noisy shouting was silenced, and the sound of banging on the door was replaced by a polite knock: "Master Shen, please open the door, we are the people of the county government." ”

However, the frightened Shen family did not dare to take it lightly, and some people first took a closer look through the crack in the door, until they confirmed that it was indeed a yamen man in soap clothes standing outside the door, and there were no noisy villagers around, and they opened the door with Shen Fang's consent.

It's just that when he opened the door and saw the situation outside, the hearts of the Shen family and others still sank. Because not far away, those villagers were still gathered there, and many of them were still looking in with disgruntled faces, as if they were ready to rush over and make a move at any time.

And what made Shen Fang even more frightened was the identity of the person who was the leader. This person is Zhang Xian, the household warden who suffered a loss in front of him two days ago and went away in a huff! And the latter was also looking at him with a gaze full of meaning at this time, and he saw that Master Shen's heart was furious.

Even if he was uneasy, he had to show his attitude, and after stabilizing his mind, Shen Fang greeted him, and thanked him first: "Thank you Zhang Dianguan for bringing people to rescue me in time, otherwise my Shen family will be in danger." ”

"Master Shen is serious, you are a big man in my county, and I can't afford to wait for the little officials if something happens, so I naturally have to rush to help as soon as possible." Zhang Xianluo hugged his fist, but this mouth was good, but the tone was quite stiff.

"I also invite the official Zhang to come in and talk, and have a cup of tea first, so that I can chat and express my gratitude." Shen Fang only didn't understand, but said very politely. According to the unspoken rules in the officialdom, of course, today's tea drinking is not just about drinking tea, people have helped them out of the siege, and the Shen family naturally wants to express it.

What is surprising is that Zhang Xian, who should have been greedy for money this time, was not moved at all, and still stood outside the door and said lightly: "This is not necessary." ”

"Isn't that okay? If it spreads, it will make people feel that the Han family does not know the etiquette. Shen Fang insisted with a smile. Of course, he did not only say it, but also because the villagers were still there, and he had to take advantage of the prestige of the people in the yamen to try to scare them away.

But Zhang Xian's words after him made him dare not insist: "If the villain enters the door, I'm afraid that the villagers behind him will make trouble again, but it will be difficult to clean up." ”

"Ah......" Shen Fang changed color again: "Dian Zhang, isn't this matter over?" ”

Isn't this nonsense? None of them have dispersed, which of course indicates that the matter has not been resolved. Zhang Xian secretly said in his heart, but said in his mouth: "There is no way, these villagers have to come to this point out of helplessness, even if we are from the county government, we can't be unreasonable." ”

"This ......" Shen Fang had already understood at this time, obviously the other party was not here to save his own family, but had other plans!

Zhang Xian didn't hide it, and then said: "When I stopped these villagers just now, I asked them, and they had to make this scene because they were forced to do so by the county government. And the reason why they targeted Master Shen and your family is not because their food is in your hands. Master Shen, whether this matter can be solved or not is not up to me, but to you. ”

"You...... You are ......" The sentence of robbery while the fire was almost spewed out of Shen Fang's mouth. It was only then that he thought of his own situation and had to rely on the protection of the people in the county government, so he didn't really say these words, but his face had become extremely ugly.

"Master Shen, don't blame the villain for speaking directly, we are really helpless. The county commander has issued a strict order for this matter, chasing it every three days, and comparing it every five days, even if it is the villain, there is still a stick wound now. If Master Shen refuses to even help with this little thing, my brother is afraid that there is nothing he can do. Zhang Xian said, looking at the back pointedly.

Seeing him threaten himself so bluntly, Shen Yi was annoyed. But in the face of the current situation, there seems to be no better way to go than to cooperate with it.

Seeing that he was a little moved, Zhang Xian took another step forward: "Master Shen, just now we were able to persuade these villagers to temporarily retreat, and we relied on them to believe that you can then take out the food to calm their anger." If you don't do this, I'm afraid the villains won't be able to suppress them. ”

I ate another layer of weight in my heart, which made Shen Fang's face become more and more ugly: "Do you know that the Kong family asked us to do this thing?" This is something that offends the Kong family! ”

Hearing that he moved out of Kong's house to pressure himself, Zhang Xian sneered: "Master Shen, you should know much more clearly than the villain that it is difficult to quench your thirst from far water." It's not the Kong family that can save you now. As for how the Kong family reacts after that, it's not up to you and me to decide. ”

These words have been said clearly enough, and it also makes Shen Fang clearly realize that the current county government is not the same as before, and the influence and deterrence of the Confucian family on it have been minimized, and even the two sides have completely stood on opposite sides.

After understanding this and weighing the pros and cons at hand, Shen Fang finally accepted this fact. After a sigh, he nodded, "In that case, then do as you say." Although he did have to sell the face of the Kong family, it was impossible to put his family in danger in order to help him.

Later, he asked again: "It's not easy to return these taxes and grains to the villagers, and you have to follow the numbers in the register, and you can't do it in a few days." ”

"Master Shen, why are you so brainless? Since this grain will eventually be handed over to my county government, why should you bother with it? Wouldn't it be enough to hand over the grain directly to my county government? Even the manpower to transport grain is ready-made, and these villagers must be happy to help your Shen family deliver grain to the county seat! Zhang Xian saw that he had given in, so he also put on a smiling face and said.

"You...... Okay, let's do as the warden wants. After nodding a little heavily, Shen Fang turned to a few stewards beside him and ordered, "Take his people to our treasury to get grain." ”

Of course, those subordinates will not have an opinion, to be honest, now they are eager to send out these grains that have brought disaster to their families as soon as possible, so everyone agreed, and they wanted to take Zhang Xian to the granary.

But Zhang Xian was not in a hurry to follow up, but turned around and walked to the villagers who kept looking this way, and loudly announced Shen Fang's decision to them. As soon as he said this, the villagers immediately let out a burst of cheers, and looked much kinder than before.

After pacifying these people, Zhang Xiancai took two good settlers from his own household and followed the Shen family's house slaves to the warehouse inside. On the side, Shen Fang, whose face was gloomy, was staring at him deeply with a strange gaze. If he didn't see anything else about this matter at this time, it was probably the people in the county government who encouraged the villagers to force him to take out the grain, and he would have lived to be a dog at the age of several decades.

But even so, even if he knew that all this was the other party's calculations, Shen Fang was powerless to change the established facts. He could only cooperate and return the grain that had been hidden for a period of time to the county government. And in this way, it will be difficult for him to explain to the Kong family.

What makes him even more chilling is that I am afraid that this time the county government will not only attack his own family, but this alone can be seen that they are really going to fight the Kong family head-on. And himself, who has already defected, has fallen into an extremely embarrassing position in this matter.

Whether he wants it or not, whether he accepts it or not, the food will no longer be able to be saved. This time, the people in the county government fully exerted their dedication and drive, and in just a few hours, they quickly counted a full amount of grain, and then called in the villagers who were still waiting outside, and asked them to help move the grain that had been packed into sacks out of Shen's house.

At the same time, dozens of grain truckloads were also driven over one after another. The grain that was moved out of the Shen family was immediately loaded, and everything seemed to be so orderly. This kind of planning is enough to make people believe that this matter is a pre-designed bureau!

When the county government officials returned with dozens of carts full of grain, it was already dark. And Shen Fang, who should have been eating, was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl of the Shanghao official kiln in his hand. But at this point, he couldn't do anything except get angry at home, and he didn't even have the courage to go to the Kong family to tell him about it, after all, he had completely betrayed the Kong family by doing so.

When the grain entered the county seat, it drove in front of the eyes of many people in a big way, and finally entered the county office, Qiu County's order, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately rushed over from the back office. After inspecting a few of the packets of grain and confirming that it was correct, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Great, this matter has finally taken a turn for the better." ”

"Well, the official has already said that this method is feasible. And Qiu County can rest assured that things have just begun, and soon, food from other places will be sent one after another. Even those big families who had already sent grain to the Confucian family's compound had to obediently obey their fate this time! "The one who dares to say this, of course, is Lu Jin, who came out of the news.
