Chapter 55: Gathering the Villagers

Uncle Tian ran desperately, but now he has less food and no strength, plus Shen Zhao used light skills, and he was caught up without running a few steps. Shen Zhao slipped Uncle Tian to Shen Man'er like a chicken.

As soon as Uncle Tian was free, he immediately knelt down for Shen Man'er. "Miss, spare me, I don't know anything. I still have a family at home waiting for me to raise, so you can have pity on me and spare me. Uncle Tian was so frightened by this posture that he almost urinated, he was not a three-foot man no matter how he said it, it is estimated that he would faint at this moment.

"Uncle, I just have something I want to ask you, you don't have to be afraid. Come on, I'm the owner of the nearby Shen family's manor, have you rented the Shen family's land?" Shen Man'er thought that this Shen Fu must have been used to acting as a prestige in the past, which made people panic now.

As soon as Uncle Tian heard that this was the owner of the Shen family's manor, he was a little confused. It is true that the Shen family manor is the Shen Mansion in the capital, but it has been managed by Shen Fu in the past few years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Shen Fu's.

"Uncle, can you tell me what happened, why are you working by yourself in this field, and what about the others?" Shen Man'er asked, the Shen family manor has about 5,000 acres of land, but he has been here for so long, and he only saw this old man.

"Hey, it's hard to say..."Then Uncle Tian talked about what had happened in the past few years.

It turned out that Shen Fu was arranged to come over to watch the Shen family's manor eight or nine years ago. At the beginning, Shen Fu was still good, and the fields received more grain, plus the rent collected by Xiangye was less, and after excluding taxes, each family could have a lot left. But as time went by, Shen Fu gradually became dissatisfied with just being a little housekeeper, and while he gave the prime minister's house a regular meal, he increased the tenants' rents and filled his pockets. At the beginning, although the rent was a little more, the harvest was good, and although the days were a little tighter, it was still passable.

However, since three years ago, the weather began to drought, and the grain harvest was affected, except for the exorbitant taxes and rents, there was not much left of the tenants, and the families had tightened their belts to live on the grain they had saved.

But in the past two years, Shen Fu has become more and more excessive, not only did he not reduce the rent, but instead intensified, requiring each family to get a certain amount. Some people, after removing the rent, can have at most 10% of the food left in the house, how can people live.

Many people just quit renting and went out to beg for food. The rented ones also took advantage of the slack time to go out to work and earn some money to get by, and if their son hadn't been sick, they would have gone to beg for food.

Shen Man'er listened to Uncle Tian's words, and felt that it was too light for Shen Fu to just go mining.

The harvest in the past three years is not good, the prime minister knows, and the father also sent a message to reduce the burden of the tenants, so that they only need to pay two achievements. As for Shen Fu, while giving the two transactions to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he complained and made the Prime Minister's Mansion believe his nonsense. Behind the scenes, he did such a big rebellious thing, ninety percent! What kind of concept is that, that is, Shen Fu himself swallowed seventy percent, which is simply more hateful than a vampire.

Bang, Shen Man's anger kicked over a stone at his feet, and the stone rolled for a long time, Shen Zhao looked at it as if it was Shen Fu's head.

"Shen Zhao, did you say that I am still too good to Shen Fu. As soon as Shen Zhao heard Miss ask himself this, he knew that Miss hated Shen Fu even more.

"Miss, there is a kind of poison under my subordinates, and the poisoned person does not react at all during the day, but at night, it will be like thousands of ants gnawing on their bones, which is unbearable. ”

Shen Man'er looked at Shen Zhao's performance in the past two days and felt that Shen Zhao was really getting more and more at his heart.

"Okay, Steward Shen has worked hard before, and the Prime Minister always wants to leave him some souvenirs, so you can send it to him to taste it." After Shen Man'er finished speaking, the people around her had no reaction. They felt that Miss was still light, so she should directly cut off Shen Fu's hands and feet and become an adult. In fact, Shen Man'er just thinks that people are too terrible, and the howl in her ears every day is weird and scary, otherwise she really wants to try.

"Old man, can you take me to a tenant's house nearby? Shen Man'er said as she asked people to take Uncle Tian and walk towards the village.

Uncle Tian took Shen Man'er to turn around the people in the village, Shen Man'er looked at the yellow and thin faces of the family, especially the children who were similar to the hungry children in Africa that he only saw on his mobile phone in his previous life, and the tears in Shen Man'er's eyes couldn't stop flowing. And Zhu'er was already crying, if Shen Zhao hadn't been stopping her, it is estimated that she would have knelt down for Miss a long time ago.

"Miss, they are really pitiful, that Shen Fu is not a thing, you can help them. Zhu'er cried and begged for it, she was also from a poor family, and her family sold herself because she was poor. If it weren't for my own fate, I wouldn't know what would happen to Miss yet.

"They are tenants of the Prime Minister's house, and of course I will help them. Shen Zhao, I remember that there is also a warehouse in the manor, and you brought all the grain in it. Uncle Tian, please call anyone in the village who rents land in the Shen Mansion to your house, and I have something to announce to you. After listening to Shen Man'er's words, Uncle Tian took care of the rest, he had already taken the broken iron basin he picked up from the ground, and while knocking, he ran around the village, until he ran around, and everyone in the village went to find someone if he knew about it.

Shen Man'er followed Uncle Tian to their house. I saw that they were a few dilapidated thatched huts, although they were dilapidated, they were well organized. As soon as Shen Man'er entered the courtyard, she saw Uncle Tian helping a blind old lady to bring them a few stools. Although the stools are of different sizes, they are quite new, and at first glance they are made from the trees on the mountain.

"Miss, the smell in the house is heavy, so let's sit outside for a while. The old lady rubbed her palms together crampedly.

"Auntie, it's okay, you can also sit, the villagers will come over in a while, Uncle Tian is still busy, and he will have to trouble the two of you then." Shen Man'er said that she was still not familiar with the situation here, and she would have to trouble Uncle Tian to introduce her later.

"What Miss said, what do you want us to do, Miss just said. As he spoke, he found a small bench along the wall and sat down, and there was a small stone mill in front of him, but it was empty.

"Auntie, are you the only one in your family and your uncle?" Shen Man'er looked at Uncle Tian as he was old and had a blind daughter-in-law, which was really not easy.

The eldest lady sitting there heard what Shen Man'er said, but she howled and cried, crying so much that she couldn't cry. She didn't say it intermittently until she could speak.

It turned out that this Uncle Tian also had a son and a daughter, the son was called Tian Liang, and the daughter was called Tian Yu. Last year, because of the poor harvest at home, Tian Yu went to work in the manor, because Tian Yu was good-looking and didn't know how to flatter, so he provoked Shen Cuilian. Shen Cuilian first locked her up in the firewood room, and then slandered her for stealing things from the manor, and in the end she was beaten to death by that Shen Cuilian.

His son was not convinced, and went to the manor to find Shen Cuilian theory, but they broke his leg, because there was no money to treat him, his son is still lying in bed, and it is estimated that he will not be able to stand up in this life.
