No one knows what Yuan Xi said when he entered Wenjiabao that day.

Lu Fang and a group of soldiers were guarding outside, a little worried. Lou Jingshu did not follow into the house. There were only Yuan Xi and a few Wen brothers in the house, and there was a lot of noise inside, and there was even the sound of throwing things.

"My lord! You're targeting us Wenjiabao! ”

Yuan Xi said expressionlessly: "If you think so, I have nothing to say." I have always felt that Wen Jiale is kind and charitable, and he is really an example in the township. ”

"Then you can't cut us down......"

It was the third child Wen Ping who spoke, this big fat man who was usually quite kind, but his neck was red today.

What Yuan Xi demanded was to collect taxes and scrape a large piece of their cake fiercely, which made them really unbearable.

Wen Hui, the distant younger brother of the Wen family, stood quietly on the side, pricking up his ears and listening, and everyone didn't pay attention to him.

"Alright...... Third brother, fifth brother, don't shout, after all, it's Lord Thorn Shi, and everyone is an old friend. ”

Wen Qian waved them quietly, and when he said "old friend", his face turned red. Last time, because of the large number of people, they drove Yuan Xi away in disgrace. It's really a blind sight to see Mount Tai. As the head of the Wen family, Wen Qian has always been polite and makes friends, so why did he make a mistake in this matter.

He had listened to Wen Hui's words before, and his heart had already been touched, and when he heard that Yuan Xi was going to take away this part of the profits, he was not as excited as a few brothers.

The people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that the other party is the second son of the Yuan family, no matter what, the identity is there. There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

Wen Qian made a choice in an instant, without a trace of hesitation, he said: "The conditions that the Lord said, the Wen family has fully agreed, and they will definitely cooperate with the Assassin Mansion to complete it." ”

"Big brother!"

Old Fifth Wen Yong jumped up all of a sudden, shouting, "Why did you give in? Do you know how much that is......

Wen Qian secretly scolded "straw bag" in his heart, stopped him and said, "Shut up, in front of Lord Thorn Shi, what qualifications do you have to speak?" ”

Yuan Xi looked at the brothers with a smile and did not speak.

Wen Qian said again: "Lord Yuan, is it appropriate to deal with this matter like this, and please show me?" ”

Yuan Xi opened his mouth and said: "Boss Wen is Boss Wen after all, and he has the demeanor of the head of the family. I am also very glad that you have been so cooperative with my request. However, in addition to the taxes that should be collected, there is also the land of Zhang San and others, and they have sued me, and I have to give them an explanation. ”

"What?"

Wen Yong almost roared: "You still want us to hand over these lands? Outrageous? ”

Several brothers of the Wen family blushed at this moment, it didn't matter if they paid a little tax, and it didn't matter if Yuan Xi collected heavy taxes from these rich people, it didn't hurt the root at all. But to take away their land would be to cut off a piece of flesh from them, and to set them back for years.

Wen Qian raised his voice: "Lord Yuan, it seems that you are doing this a little too much." ”

Yuan Xi said: "How come? There are transaction vouchers, and if you want to use the transaction method to solve it, we will follow the rules. ”

Last time, Yuan Xi used loan financing, long-term debt and short-term financing to solve the problem of land deeds of Zhang San and others, and it also pointed to the weakness of the Wen brothers. If you come up with these financing means, it is not a problem to get the land back, but it is a little troublesome. Directly by Wen Qian and them to return the land, it seems more intuitive. Therefore, Yuan Xi used the method of "urging" and put forward a request to them.

This made the Wen brothers helpless although their faces were black.

Wen Qian's shoulders collapsed, and he said weakly: "Just follow what the adults said." The other brothers had long since lost their initial arrogance at this time, and one by one they seemed to wilt.

Yuan Xi was very happy to see that the matter was discussed in this way, and said: "In addition, you have collected their fields, and you must compensate them appropriately for the rent for one year this year." ”

Wen Yong yelled: "The surname is Yuan, you have to make inches!" He said excitedly, grabbed a pottery next to him and smashed it directly on the ground, the pottery shards splashed everywhere on the smooth ground, and a few points also hit Yuan Xi's body.

Yuan Xi didn't blink his eyes, and said: "I forgot to say, the taxes on these fields must be collected according to them, and you can't stop collecting taxes just because you return the fields, this doesn't make sense." Conscription is also to be counted according to the capitation, and at the end of the year it is to be made up. ”

"You!"

Wen Yong was completely out of anger.

Wen Qian said: "My lord, there is no need to do things to this extent. Leave a line to see each other. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, I see the efforts made by the Wen family to cooperate with the Assassin Mansion." I won't let you suffer. ”

Wen Qian suddenly felt that talking to Yuan Xi was a waste of tongue, this person was completely cheeky. Cast pearls before swine!

Wen Fang, the second elder of the Wen family, who has always been quiet, said: "My lord, we can cooperate with you in these things." But can you give me some time? After all, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the affairs are complicated. When the autumn harvest is over, we will slowly comb it out. We will never leave the property that should be returned. ”

Wen Qian's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that his second brother had put forward a rather constructive opinion at this juncture.

Procrastination!

As long as the time drags on, when Yuan Xi leaves, the order here will be restored, Yuan Xi is far away in Ji County, and he doesn't know what is going on here. There is a lot of operational space inside, and Ji County can also take care of it.

"You need time, and that's not too much to ask. It just so happens that I want to suppress bandits in this area, and I can't say if I stay here for a year and a half, and then Wenjiabao will be my office headquarters, and we can talk slowly. ”

When the five brothers of the Wen family heard this, they glanced at each other, and they all felt that one head had become two big. If this Buddha stays here for a year and a half, how will the huge Wen family develop? The five brothers are still not allowed to behave properly, and they don't even dare to fart loudly?

Wen Qian hurriedly said, "My lord, how can I trouble you to stay here for our business?" As the chief official of Youzhou, you should return to the Ji County Mansion to sit in the town. This matter is actually difficult to say, simple and simple, as long as you work day and night, send more people, I believe it will be sorted out soon. Before the autumn harvest, I promise that these fields will be returned to Zhang San and others. ”

Yuan Xi squinted his eyes, listened to Wen Qian's words, and said, "It's still Boss Wen who is bold enough, I like it." Hahaha......"

Listening to this piercing laughter, the faces of the Wen brothers turned green. This battle was lost very badly.

Yuan Xi went out and was about to go to find Lu Fang and the others to converge, when suddenly someone pulled his sleeve behind him.

He looked back strangely, and saw that it was a little scholar of the Wen family, who had been standing beside him just now, without any words.

"You're looking for me?"

"Under Wen Hui, the word Mankey. I would like to ask you to take me. ”

Yuan Xi suddenly felt funny, a person surnamed Wen actually wants to follow him?

"Don't you hate me?"

"My lord is in his position, and what he has done has not added a benefit to himself, what do I have to hate?"

"Oh? But I have made your Wen family suffer a lot of losses. ”

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and your Excellency has not directly destroyed Wenjiabao, it is already merciful. It is not a Wenjiabao line, but just a place to stay. I have just seen the thunderbolt methods of adults, and I believe that I will be able to make some achievements under the hands of adults. Please accept me. ”

"What can you do?"

"You can do anything, you are good at settling accounts."

“…… Come with me. ”
