Zhang Lin only felt that his face was hot, just now in front of his cousin and Gui Chongyang, he said that someone brought Tian to vote, and he planned to transfer a few acres of land to Gui Chongyang, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face.

Where is this where someone brought the land to invest, it is obvious that Steward Zhao is bullying people and wants to forcibly occupy the land.

This Zhao housekeeper is not an outsider, it is the steward of Zhang Linyue's family, in order to buy land for the Zhao family, he stays in Tongzhou these days.

Now that many powerful people are buying land in Tongzhou, the news of Steward Zhao's forcible occupation of people's land has spread, not only is he not innocent as the magistrate, but even his cousin who recommended him to the magistrate has to be affected.

Zhang Lin suppressed his anger, and did not call Steward Zhao to get up, but said: "This is what you said that someone brought Tian to take refuge?" ”

Steward Zhao was trembling, although his main family, the Zhao family, was also an official family, and the reliable mountain was still the in-law Zhang family.

Especially in Sanhe County, his uncle is now on the county throne, and it is where he can say the final word, so he is a little arrogant, and who knows will let his uncle catch him.

"Uncle, it's all this Du Zhong who is tricky and repeated, and he really doesn't do villain business!" This Steward Zhao hurriedly argued.

Du Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, Xiaomin has already said it, I have only heard that slaves and maids want to redeem themselves as good people, but I have never heard that good people are willing to take refuge as slaves. ”

"You!?" Seeing that Du Li was "falling into the well", Steward Zhao couldn't help but raise his head and glare.

Zhang Lin didn't understand anything, and he didn't ask Steward Zhao to get up, but only said to Du Lizheng: "Are you the one in the village?" How did he threaten you, and why did he come to your house? ”

Someone broke the siege, Du Li was not happy and shocked, but told the truth, saying that his son was dropped out of school for no reason, and the last time he and Steward Zhao met, Steward Zhao's words.

Zhang Lin's face became even more pale, and he directly kicked Steward Zhao, and said, "You went to the county to study?" Under whose banner did you go? ”

Steward Zhao shuddered for a moment and said, "Villain...... The villain ......" but he couldn't speak.

Zhang Lin closed his eyes, where did he still not understand?

The county edict is Jiupin, and Steward Zhao is a slave, and if he can instruct a county scholar, he must be carrying a backer. The Zhao family is a foreign official, and the head of the family is an official in the south, and there is no one else who can be carried out by the Zhao housekeeper except for Zhang Lin and the Zhang family.

Du Lizheng's expression remained unchanged, but he also quietly looked at Zhang Lin.

The new county took office, and Du Lizheng naturally asked people to inquire, but he only knew that he was the son of Xun Gui, and Enmeng was official, could it be the person in front of him? Why is it with the Gui family?

Zhang Lin said to Du Lizheng: "It's because the discipline is not strict, and the Diao slave is outside, and I can't stand you." Don't worry about Ling Lang's study, if it's really because of this slave, then leave it to the next to solve it. ”

Du Li was busy saying: "It's just a misunderstanding, just say it." ”

Saying this, Du Li could almost determine that the person in front of him was the new county honor, otherwise he would not be so light when it came to the county school.

Du Li is thinking in his heart, and Zhang Lin is also paying attention to Du Li Zheng.

Before in the Gui family, Gui Chongyang mentioned this Du Li Zheng with the two of them, and asked the two of them to check the details of Du Li Zheng, Zhang Lin couldn't help but have a preconceived idea, and he was a little wary and scrutinized against Du Li Zheng. In addition, Steward Zhao was domineering before, but Du Li was raising healthy servants here, and he really didn't look like a good person.

Now Duri seems to be humble and submissive, but he is a little weird.

When he saw that not far behind Du Li Zheng, a woman was nervously pulling her son's arm, and the vigilance and jealousy in her eyes were fully revealed, Zhang Lin understood where Du Li was strange.

The woman's reaction was the reaction of Shengdou Xiaomin after being persecuted and bullied, not that Du Li was so confident.

Where does a small landlord in a village get the confidence?

The identity of this Du Li Zheng should indeed be investigated.

Zhang Lin knew it in his heart, and he didn't mean to reveal his identity in front of Du Lizheng.

Those healthy servants of the Du family are indeed not ordinary people in their actions, and they will come over to the three of them today, so naturally they will not test or provoke Du Lizheng here.

As soon as Zhang Lin turned around and wanted to ask his cousin what he meant, he heard someone whisper: "Chongyang!" ”

Everyone looked over and saw that Du Qi had left the Li family at some point and came over.

"Brother Du." Gui Chongyang said lukewarmly.

Du Qi glanced at Xu Boping and Zhang Lin, and whispered, "Chongyang, do you know these two?" Can you help me say something, don't bother, I don't want to go to the county school to study. Today, in order to buy land, the Zhao family asked the teacher to blackmail my father, and if Ming'er can't keep it, he will come out of the Zhang family. I'm not a student, so I just spent money to go in and listen, so if I don't go, I won't go. I want to study at the village school, I want to be with you and Hachi, and I want to be friends with you. ”

The little fat man said it was true, and his faces changed when he heard it. They really don't understand why their fat son recognized Gui Chongyang.

Xu Boping and Zhang Lin were beside him, looking at Du Qi and probing. Is this fat boy real, or is he a traitor in his heart? The relationship between the two families, the two of them also know, but they really don't think these two teenagers can be good friends.

Gui Chongyang glanced at Du Lizheng and said, "Brother Du, I don't dare to be friends with you." I haven't been here before, but now that I see Du Lizheng, the kid is about to ask, does the Gui family offend the honorable driver? Otherwise, why bother, you have to make a note on the summer tax for the Gui family. If it weren't for the 'emperor's grace', the emperor reduced this year's grain tax, then the Gui family would be on the 'tax arrears' list. Except for the first sentence, the latter is said to Du Lizheng.

It is said that the county official is not as good as the current management, but now there happens to be a county official who is in charge now, Gui Chongyang has more confidence and asks directly.

Du Qi's face turned red and he was speechless.

The Gui family's arrears of summer taxes were rumored before, and he naturally knew about it. Previously, because the emperor reduced or exempted the grain tax in Tongzhou, the matter of the Gui family's arrears of summer tax was also over, and Du Qi was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect Gui Chongyang to mention it at this time.

Zhang Lin frowned when he heard this, but Xu Boping carefully looked at Du Li Zhenglai.

Zhang Lin was still thinking about what he could do in tax arrears, and at the same time he was depressed for Gui Chongyang. In the end, it is inconvenient to live in the countryside, and a small Lizheng can calculate the Gui family.

Xu Boping remembered the matter of repairing the tomb, and the matter of drawing Ding from Zhili this winter has not yet been announced to the public, does this Du Li know about it? Who the hell is he?

Everyone looked at Du Lizheng, and Du Lizheng showed a bit of a bachelor and said: "Little Chongyang, you don't have to complain about the old man, I'm just prepared." Your uncle and nephew returned to their hometown for a few months, and first they went to the Mei family, and I don't know what handle they had, so they blackmailed the Mei family to take out fifteen acres of land; Then he grabbed the handle of the Li family, made the Li family bleed profusely, and scraped together the money to build the house. Maybe your uncle and nephew are unintentional, but the Mei and Li families are both in-laws of the Du family, I have to wonder if your uncle and nephew will be the next to deal with the Du family! The matter of Xia Tax, it is true that you did not pay it, and it is not that I designed to frame you for anything. ”

If you don't know Gui Chongyang's character and family background, and only listen to Du Lizheng's words, I'm afraid that you will think that the uncle and nephew of the Gui family are unscrupulous people for money.

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "I see, then Duli is misunderstood." The fifteen acres of land of the Mei family are part of the old property of the Mei family's second house, and it is also a law to follow when it is distributed to the two generations of the Mei family as a dowry; As for the Li family's side, it is still Du Li who is in charge, it is the Li family who steals the Yang Mu of the Gui family in front, the human and material evidence is complete, and there is no official delivery, the compensation that the other party is willing to give, could it be that Du Li is forgetting? ”

Du Li Zheng saw that Gui Chongyang was articulate, and said with a lenient appearance that did not argue: "It's good to misunderstand, if it weren't for the yin and yang, the two of you would have been in-laws, hey, it's all time and fate." Speaking of which, he really regretted it in his heart.

Du Li Zheng didn't put the Gui family's uncle and nephew in his eyes before, he knew the details of Gui Wu, but he didn't take it to heart, but he was just friendly with the local snake in Xiji Town, others would be jealous, but he had nothing to fear.

As for Gui Chongyang, an orphan son who has returned home thousands of miles away, he is not even in Du Lizheng's eyes.

I didn't expect it, but I lost my eyes. knew that Gui Chongyang knew the powerful and could not be underestimated, so he should have directly promised the sixth sister to the Gui family, so that he could resolve the previous suspicions.

Now, it doesn't seem too late to think about it.

Du Li Zheng made a decision in his heart, his face became more and more warm, and he did not find fault with Zhang Lin's identity, but said: "I do have a few hectares of land in my name, and I can't take care of it for the time being in the past few years. ”

Zhang Lin was angry about the affairs of the Yue family, where did he still have the heart to buy land, and just as he was about to refuse, he heard his cousin say: "How much is an acre?" ”

Zhang Lin hurriedly swallowed the words of refusal and looked at his cousin.

is also a young man in the year of the crown, Zhang Lin is slightly weak, and Xu Boping is a little more heroic.

Du Lizheng had already seen that among the three people who came with Gui Chongyang, Xu Boping was the main one. It is suspected that the county honorable person is majestic in front of Steward Zhao, but he is still in a subordinate position when he retreats to stand.

In addition, with Steward Zhao's previous words, mentioning that he was related to the royal family, Du Li couldn't help but guess the identity of the person who came, so he deliberately mentioned the sale of land.

With the relocation of the capital, there are not too many powerful people who buy land in Tongzhou. The eight acres of land on his face are also really eye-catching, and he just took the opportunity to change hands.

When the seller is confirmed, he also knows which family the powerful young man who is close to the Gui family comes from.

The young man really took the bait.

Du Li thought for a while and said: "At present, the land price is nine taels of silver per mu, and six hectares is five thousand four hundred taels of silver, and the cash silver paid by the red deed can be reduced by another one hundred taels!" ”

Xu Boping picked the corners of his mouth and said, "You don't need to reduce it, it's only five thousand four hundred taels, can you go to the county government to transfer your account now?" ”

Du Li naturally had no objection and nodded in response.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but be a little anxious, his cousin's identity was really not convenient for him to buy property outside.

Xu Boping didn't look at Zhang Lin, and greeted Gui Chongyang and said, "Chongyang, you go with me!" ”

Zhang Lin's heart was put down again, and he understood Xu Boping's intentions.

If Xu Boping in the Gui family also proposed to help Gui Chongyang buy a property before, Gui Chongyang naturally knew Senior Brother Xu's kindness. But when he went to Beijing this time, he didn't bring much cash, and he spent a lot of money to buy two shops and a house in Xiji Town, as well as to build a house and buy Yang Yinzhu's land before, all of which were a sum of silver.

What should I do if I don't have enough silver?
