Wen Ji was waiting anxiously, but he heard that there was silence outside the door for a while, and it became noisy again, so he didn't care, just paced in the inner hall.
At this time, Wen Chou was in a dilemma, firstly, he was a rank in Shahe Township, and he should be responsible for the villagers under his jurisdiction, and secondly, he was also the patriarch of the Wen clan and was responsible for the Wen clan! But the two are now in conflict. Although Wen Chou has already made up his mind and is a villager by pressing Wen Ji, he must also pay attention to methods, not only to make other Wen members resentful, but also to ensure the vital interests of the villagers!
"How is it, what does Wen Jun think?" Jiang Xuan pressed step by step.
"Today, some people are hoarding goods and bullying others, and they want to discipline one or two, but this method of discipline has not yet been determined, and I ask Jiang Jun to teach me." Wen Chou frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Oh, to me, this crime is the most dangerous and the oppression of the villagers is a heinous crime! When the report is reported to the county king, bring him to justice! Jiang Xuan was not polite and said bluntly.
"Jiang Jun's words are wrong, you don't know the way of government, you should be lenient, not to mention that Wen Ji's matter has not caused major losses to the people now, that is, there have been bought at a low price, sold at a high price, and ordered to pay it back with one and two times, how can you apply the crime of decapitation at every turn?" Wen scandal said, pondered for a moment, Fang Dao.
Joke, if he really beheaded Wen Ji, wouldn't it make everyone who followed him frightened, where else could he be in the future?
"What does Wen Jun mean ......?" Jiang Xuan shook his sleeves and said unhappily.
Wen Chou first turned to the onlookers and said: "I want to order Wen Ji to sell the farm tools that were forcibly collected at a low price in advance, and compensate the victimized villagers with some money." ”
After a pause, he said: "As for other farm tools that originally belonged to the Wen family, the price is determined by the Wen family, there is no need to say much about this, I will also try to suppress one or two." ”
"In short, it is to let the villagers have farm tools to use when they are busy with wheat harvesting, which is the top priority at the moment!" Wen Chou finally concluded.
"Whether this method is feasible or not, I have to ask the vast number of people in Qianshou, as long as they have no opinions, I have nothing to say." Jiang Xuan pondered what Wen Chou said, and then waved his hand. I thought to myself: "This article is not comparable to ordinary martial artists!" Even if you are not tempted by my words, you can also grasp the main contradiction of the matter, and you can think carefully about what my father said, if nothing else, he will be a masterpiece in the future! ”
Wen Chou called two or three villagers and explained what he had said before, so that it spread all over the noisy scene. After a while, the ugly words spread throughout the crowd, people talked about it, and the scene became even more noisy, which can be described as extremely noisy!
At this time, Yan Liang, Liu Zhong, Wen Ba and others also arrived on horseback, all of them were short-dressed and holding knives, and they came to help Wen Chou.
"Let's go, let's go!" Yan Liang saw that there were three layers inside and three layers outside the people in front of him, and he didn't see where Wen Chou was, so he thought that he was in the middle, and couldn't help shouting.
Because of Yan Liang's thunderous roar and Wen Ba's echoing bonus in the back, the noisy voices in the market were quiet, and they got out of the way, and then there was a lively discussion!
Wen Chou saw Yan Liang and them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Yan Liang, Liu Zhong and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Wen Chou was safe and sound, and they were waiting to ask what was going on. But it was Wen Chou who took the first step and pointed to Wen Ba and Liu Zhong and said to Jiang Xuan on his side: "Jiang Jun, these people are all from their hometown, so I don't think I need to introduce them." ”
"Naturally, Wen's Wenba, Ranger Liu Zhong, who doesn't know in this Sand River?" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.
Wen Chou pulled Yan Liang's hand and said: "This is the third son of the third old Jiang Gong, Jiang Xuan Jiang Jun." ”
Yan Liang bowed to Jiang Xuan.
He said to Jiang again: "This is my righteous brother, Yan Liangyan Gongji." ”
"But the fierce general who fought alone against hundreds of Black Mountain thieves?" Jiang Xuan lost his voice.
"Exactly."
"I have been looking up for a long time, I want to fight alone for hundreds of horses that day, and I am fascinated!" Jiang Xuan hurriedly bowed his hand to Yan Liang and said politely. Jiang Xuan, as a scholar, although he looks down on the township light men who gather without doing anything, he still has enough respect for the fierce generals who really serve the people.
"Jiang Jun has an overreputation, I am just a martial artist, how can I stand the admiration of you, a scholar!" Yan Liang said with a grin and a wave of his hand when he heard this.
"Big brother, what the hell is going on, is it Wen Ji and he ...... again" Wen Ba said impatiently.
"Well, it was Wen Ji who took advantage of the situation to collect a lot of farm tools in the township before, and now he took the opportunity to resell them at a high price, which aroused the anger of the people! ......" explained the current situation and countermeasures to everyone one by one.
"So why don't we go in and negotiate with Wen Ji?" Liu Zhong asked.
"Isn't this waiting for the villagers present to discuss, if they don't agree, they can only think of another way." Wen Chou glanced at the noisy villagers and smiled bitterly.
There was a moment of silence.
……
"Lord Youzhi, the villain has consulted the opinions of most of the villagers present, saying that he is willing to bother Lord Youzhi to go and discuss one or two, if the price is reasonable, there will be no more chaos." A villager stepped forward and said to Wen Chou Gongjin.
"Okay, Brother Liu, Gongji will go with me, and the others will wait at the door." Wen Scandal Yan thought about it. Not calling Jiang Xuan is to consider Dao Wenji's emotions, and excluding Wenba is to fear that Wenba's emotions will get out of control.
"Hmm." Yan Liang and Liu Zhong responded and came to Wen Chou's side.
Wen Chou bowed his hand to Jiang Xuan and the others, and then walked towards the door of Wen's ironware shop.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Yan Liang took the first step, smashed the door with his hand and shouted: "There is a rank Wenjun who is here to visit, open the door quickly!" ”
"You're here?"
"Youzhi is here! Go to the back hall and report to the head of the house. ”
“……”
Wen Chou faintly heard a panic in the hall outside. Peace returned.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Yan Liang saw that no one answered him, so he knocked for a while, and the entire door frame shook with it, and shouted: "If you don't open it again, you will be unloaded!" ”
"Alas, I said sir, wait a minute, the door will open!" A slightly timid voice came, and the door opened a crack. When this guy was peeking out, Yan Liang pushed the door open, causing the guy to fall backwards on his back, dizzy and in pain for a while.
Yan Liang didn't look at him either, only turned around and said, "Big brother, come in!" ”
"Didn't you tell you to be courteous? How can you be so rude! Seeing this, Wen Chou stepped forward and pointed at Yan Liangdao. and he wanted to stretch out his hand and help the fellow. How dare that guy Lao Wenchou's hand, he hurriedly jumped up and shouted smartly: "I don't know that Lord Rank is here, I haven't greeted you from afar, and I ask your Lord to atone for your sins." The villain is going to prepare a table for you, the adult! ”
"No, where is your head of the family? Also ......"
Before Wen Chou finished asking this sentence, Wen Ji came from the back hall, and saw that there were only Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and Liu Zhong in the hall, and the others had not come, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Zixiao, when did you come?" But it's because my brother is not strict in discipline, so that his subordinates collide with you, is it okay? ”
"Wen Zizhang, only those who came to Shahe Township today have a rank and an ugly Wen Zixiao." Wen Scandal said solemnly. I thought: "When I asked Gongji to knock on the door before, he had already reported the name of rank, and this article was very evasive and did not talk about it, only talking about brothers and relationships, how could he succeed!" ”
"Oh, you're here for business, huh?" Wen Ji's face sank and he said in a condensed voice.
"It's for the people in the city outside the door." Wen Chou pointed to the outside door.
"Just a pariah, can you really make you abandon the interests of your family?" Wen Ji asked in a deep voice.
"What is a pariah, what is a good citizen? The cheap people are nothing more than prostitutes, excellent people, subordinates, and pawns, but everyone outside the door is not among them, even if they are ordinary people, how can they be called untouchables! Wen Chou said solemnly.
"You, you...... Okay, so how are you going to do that? "Wen Ji Qi Ji said.
"It's nothing, just return all the farm tools collected from the villagers, and reduce the price of the rest of the farm tools." Wen Chou didn't have time to argue with Wen Ji, so he made his debut.
"No, resolutely not! I spent money and worked hard to collect the things, and you let me send them all back with a word, the joke is simply a joke in the world! Not to mention any price cuts! Hehe. Wen Ji heard that Qi Ji shook his sleeves and wanted to walk to the back hall, and shouted loudly.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Wen Chou said coldly without moving. Now that he is literary and ugly, and the broad masses of the people are on his side, he has no fear.
