Chapter Seventy-Three: Huang Ya
Although Du Juan was temporarily subdued with money, Lin Ya was still not at ease with this money-greedy girl.
You can spend money to buy it, and in the same way, as soon as someone else offers a higher price, Du Juan will immediately turn her face against herself.
I want to send people over as soon as possible to pick a few henchmen!
Before Jiang Long was attacked in the house, he was busy, and Lin Ya was not good at immediately proposing to pick a girl.
Now that things have passed for several days, things in the house have calmed down.
With henchmen, you can spy on Du Juan secretly, and when Du Juan wants to do something, if there is anything going on, it will not be able to escape Lin Ya's eyes.
Glancing at Du Juan again, Lin Ya withdrew her little white jade-like hand and lowered the car curtain.
The curtains blocked the sunlight that shone in, and the interior of the carriage became dark again.
After a full hour, the convoy arrived at Jingfu Farm in Wushi Town.
Steward Hu has been leading the way in front, and today in order to show the poverty of the farm, he came to the house in a carriage, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back, and Jiang Long did not speak just now, so he walked for an hour.
Although Steward Hu is only a slave of Jingfu, on weekdays, he lives a very prosperous life with a large sum of silver taels and the income of the tenant farmers in the farm.
The coarse linen shirt he wore today was specially borrowed by him.
Usually he doesn't farm, and he has a carriage when he goes out, where has he walked for such a long time?
When he walked for half an hour, his tired legs and feet were weak, and his head was full of sweat.
However, most of the guards in Jingfu had heard of the reputation of Steward Hu, so not only did no one sympathize with him, but the guards who walked in the front would urge him to go faster.
Even if he is tired to death, he has to hold on to it, otherwise Jiang Long will be unhappy, even if he is protected by Zhang Jiang's family, it is useless.
After all, Jiang Long is the master of Jingfu!
By the time he arrived at the farm, Steward Hu was already tired and panting, his face was pale, and he felt that his legs were not his own.
His clothes and hair were all wet with sweat, as if they had been rained, and the soles of his thin cloth shoes were also worn out by the fact that he couldn't lift his legs when he walked, and was always dragging on the ground, and the soles of his feet were covered with blisters and blood blisters.
Smelling the place, the vase lifted the curtain.
Jiang Long lowered his head slightly and jumped out of the carriage.
At this time, more than 100 tenant farmers in the farm all stood at the intersection of the farm to greet them.
"The little master is here, everyone hurry up and say hello!"
Although the steward was tired and stuck out his long tongue like a dog, he still had to deal with it mentally.
As long as he survives this hurdle and deliberately expels Jiang Long back to his home, so that Jiang Long dispels the idea of managing the farm, he will be able to live a comfortable life as a foreign master in the future.
On the contrary, if Jiang Long finds out the problem, then he will be finished.
At that time, the position of the head of the village will not only be unprotected, but once Jiang Long wants to implement the family law, his life will be suspended!
Hearing Steward Hu's instructions, more than a dozen men and women, young and old, immediately surrounded him and greeted Jiang Long one after another.
"The little one has seen the little master."
"The little one is saying goodbye to the little master."
"The little young master is tired, please come into the farm!"
When the Jingfu guards stepped forward, they just blocked the front and didn't let these people get too close to Jianglong.
Jiang Long didn't speak, just put his hands behind his back and carefully looked at the people in front of him with his eyes.
I saw that although the first few people in front of me were covered with dust on their faces, if they paid a little attention, they could see that they were deliberately smeared, and these people were all very white-skinned.
Moving his gaze downward, he glanced at the palms of these people, Jiang Long sneered in his heart, tenant farmers have been farming for many years and working in the fields, how can there be no calluses on their hands?
But he remained silent, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for the guards to drive the men to the side.
Jiang Long's gaze shifted to the tenant farmers standing behind.
I saw that some of those people were black and thin, some had yellow faces, and some children and old people were even more skinny.
The clothes are stacked with old patches and new patches.
In an instant, he understood that these people were the ones who really toiled in the fields.
Seeing Jiang Long looking at those people, Steward Hu's heart jumped, and he immediately shouted loudly: "You are blind, why don't you hurry up and come over to say hello to the little young master?" ”
That group of people are all honest, with wooden personalities, stupid mouths, and can't speak.
Hearing the order of the Hu steward, they look at me, I look at you, and it took a while before they stepped forward to salute Jiang Long.
"Plop!"
Unlike the dozen or so people who bent over with enthusiastic smiles and bowed over, they just fell to their knees and fell to their knees.
Jiang Long's heart shook!
This should be simple, right?
"Everybody, get up." Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Long glanced at the dozen or so people standing on the side, and stretched out his hand to help.
Yu Hai and Bao Vase stood beside Jiang Long, and when they saw Jiang Long speak, those people are still you look at me, I look at you, kneeling in place at a loss, they stepped forward to help a few old women.
"Little Master, let you get up."
The vase leaned towards an old woman's arm, her brows furrowed slightly, and then, somehow, watching the old woman grinning toothlessly and smiling gratefully at herself, she suddenly felt her eyes sour.
When the delicate palm touched the old woman's arm, it felt very hard, only bones and no flesh, and there were some burps!
"Yes, don't kneel, you don't have to be afraid, our little master Jianglong treats people very well." Yuchai also opened his mouth again and again to persuade him.
Several guards also stepped forward to help people under Jiang Long's eyes.
The hundreds of tenant farmers got up one by one.
"Little master, these people are all elm heads, stupid, don't be angry." Seeing that everyone couldn't even say a nice word, Steward Hu endured the pain from the blisters and blood blisters on the soles of his feet, moved two steps forward to Jiang Long and said, "Why don't you go and take a look at the small courtyard that you cleaned up for you overnight yesterday, and rest first."
I'll help you scold them later! ”
Hearing Steward Hu's words, the silent group of tenant farmers were panicked.
"Mother, does Hu Zhuangtou want to find an excuse to fine money again?"
Jiang Long still didn't say anything, his face was expressionless, his style has always been to do it without doing anything, as soon as he does it, he will act vigorously and resolutely, and he will always get rid of future troubles, although he can see that there is something wrong with this nonsense, but after all, there is no evidence in his hands now, but at this moment, a little girl suddenly pulled the sleeve of her mother next to her and choked up.
"I don't have any money at home, and I'm hungry."
The little girl was dark and short, thinly dressed, and looked to be only six or seven years old, perhaps because there was no flesh on her little face, and her eyes were very large.
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
At this time, the little girl's mother was already full of panic and covered her daughter's mouth with her palm.
Because of the great strength, the calluses on the palms of the hands grinded the little girl's face into a flush.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Steward Hu's fat face turned red in an instant.
I have to say that the little girl is really smart, and it pierces his mind at once.
If he wanted to keep the position of the head of the village, he had to curry favor with Zhang Jiang, and naturally spent a sum of silver taels.
And the wool is out of the sheep, and he doesn't want to spend this money in vain, so he naturally has to get it back.
The tenant farmers on the farm were his target for money.
"Little Yellow Girl, I, I'm ......" Steward Hu was very uncomfortable stared at by everyone, and he stammered a little for a while.
At this moment, a fat boy in a tattered linen shirt suddenly became furious, and was about to rush at the little girl with a scream.
The little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind her mother, with a pair of big eyes, with deep fear and fear.
The middle-aged woman next to the fat boy was quick and grabbed the fat boy.
But the fat boy struggled with his hands and feet, staring viciously in the direction of the little girl, refusing to be quiet and honest.
"Sister-in-law!"
At this time, an accident happened again, and a guard in his thirties suddenly walked out of the Jingfu guard, this guard first looked excited, and then changed his face to anger, and even in his eyes, there was a trace of disbelief, "Is someone bullying you?" Also, I haven't seen her for three years, how did Xiao Huangya lose weight like this? ”
Seeing this, Jiang Jun frowned slightly, glanced quickly at the body of the guard, and then leaned in front of Jiang Long and whispered, "This guard's name is Yang Haibo, and the mother and daughter are ......."
After listening to the short introduction, Jiang Long knew that Yang Haibo was the living friend of the woman's deceased husband.
And the woman's deceased husband was precisely because he wanted to maintain the face of Jingfu, and he killed a descendant of a nobleman who insulted the prestige of Jingfu on the street, and was sentenced to a summary execution!
Afterwards, Yang Haibo took care of the mother and daughter, but the words were terrifying, he was not married, and the woman was a new widow, he always ran to the mother and daughter's residence, just rumors.
Yang Haibo is a big boss and has nothing to care about, but the woman can't stand it.
took his daughter Xiao Huangya to say goodbye to Yang Haibo and came to this farm to live on some farmland.
Because the woman explained the reason for leaving to Yang Haibo before leaving, Yang Haibo has not visited them again over the years, even if he knows where their mother and daughter live.
It's just that Yang Haibo never imagined that the little niece who was white and tender in his arms back then was actually black and thin today, and she looked hungry for many years!
If it weren't for the deep memory, he almost didn't dare to recognize him.
"No, no one is bullying......" The woman didn't finish her words, and tears just flowed down her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Suddenly, an old man paused heavily on the ground with a stick in his hand, splashed a few pieces of dirt, and opened his mouth angrily, "The tenant farmers in our village help each other and have a harmonious relationship, how can anyone bully their mother and daughter?" ”
"Then how did they get so thin?" Yang Haibo straightened his neck and instinctively tilted his head and shouted.
Yang Haibo is a sergeant who has really been on the battlefield, and he already has a strong murderous aura on his body, and his eyes are red under the anger at this time, as if he is going to draw a knife to kill someone in the next moment, and the old man is scared to breathe.
The old woman standing beside her answered at this time, "They have tenants of the farmland to plant, but they can't serve the crops well, so naturally they will be hungry!" ”
"Fart!" Yang Haibo burst into foul language, "After the death of my eldest brother Cheng Shan, the old lady rewarded me with fifty taels of silver for my sister-in-law Chrysanthemum, how much food can they eat every day?"
Even if you eat meat every day, it's only been three years, and you will definitely not be able to spend the fifty taels of silver! ”
The old woman's face was red and she couldn't answer.
However, at this time, the steward suddenly coughed lightly and said: "If it is just food and clothing, it will naturally not cost so much, but they want to plant the land, and the crops do not sprout, you know, even if there is no harvest in the autumn, the money for the tenant land will still have to be paid."
They have a lot of farmland, and they have lost a lot of money when they come and go. ”
Yang Haibo obviously didn't believe it, so he turned to look at Yang Juhua.
Yang Juhua leaned down and hugged her daughter's thin body tightly, crying and shaking her head, big tears rolled down her face, "It's that I don't know how to farm, I lost all my money, it's none of my business, Haibo, you don't care!" ”
"No way!" Yang Haibo yelled.
"Little master."
Yuchai also saw that there must be something strange in it, and gently pulled Jiang Long's sleeve, wanting him to come forward.
