"Miss Tang, we are sure to get an answer today!" The old man said.

"You are deceiving people too much!" Zhao Liu shouted angrily.

"The Tang family has a big business, it is the richest man in our Suizhou, they all say that it is taken from the people, used for the people, it should have been built for every township, and now the road is slippery on rainy days, and our old bones are becoming more and more unbearable, if we fall down one day, we will suffer!"

"Yes, there are still a lot of old people in the village, if the daughters-in-law of every family go out to work, then who will serve them? Where is the Tang family's accumulation of virtue and doing good, it is simply to sow discord, make people's hearts scattered, and the family is ruined! The other squire followed.

"Humph! Are you really a bully of my Tang family! Don't take those high-sounding words here, Miss Ben, my Tang family's opening of a factory to recruit workers was originally a good thing for the benefit of the people, but in your mouth, it has become a destruction of people's families! It's ridiculous! Tang Chu's face was full of anger,

"Humph! Isn't the Tang family rich, I'll leave it here, if you don't build roads in our township, then don't think about recruiting workers in the township! One of the squires said.

At this time, the white-haired old man at the head smiled and stopped the words of the previous squires, "Don't say that, it's as if we are persecuting Miss Tang, this matter should be considered by the Tang family themselves!" ”

This person's words are even more speechless, typical of getting cheap and selling well, being a bitch and setting up a chastity archway!

Although Zou Shiyan hasn't been in for a long time, he probably knows what's going on after listening to the conversations of a few people?

He stepped forward and said, "How many are the squires?" ”

"Not bad!" The old man replied, with a little panic in his eyes, after all, it was the first time to face the person who led the troops to fight, and he was also guessing in his heart, what is the relationship between this person and the Tang family?

"Yes, it's easy to say, they all say that the squire should be a person with both ability and political integrity, but I don't think it's like a few!" Zou Shiyan said lightly.

Luo Dali's eyes widened behind him, it was the first time he had seen General Zou stand up for others and say so many things.

The squires were unhappy when they heard Zou Shiyan's words, especially the white-haired old man who was the leader.

Between him, he blew his beard and glared and said, "Why, Your Excellency wants to fight for the Tang family, that's really sorry, you can't help it, we are squires recognized by the government, whether it is in the township or the state government, there are records, if the Tang family recruits female workers in the township, it will naturally have to be approved by us, otherwise, no woman dares to go out!" ”

Speaking of this, the white-haired old man smiled proudly, which clearly made Tang Chu decide.

Who knows, Zou Shiyan said twice at this time.

"What are you laughing at?" The old man asked.

Zou Shiyan said proudly, "Since my squire is recognized by the government, the government can naturally be exempted!" With the actions of a few of you, are you worthy of this status? ”

"It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not!" The person who spoke didn't know Zou Shiyan, and he was extremely angry when he heard the other party's words.

"Don't you know that the laws of the court have changed now?" Zou Shiyan continued.

And Tang Chu's gaze also turned to Zou Shiyan.

This is the first time in his life that Zou Shiyan did not use force to deter others, and it was also the first time Tang Chu saw Zou Shiyan come forward with words.

Then, Zou Shiyan began to talk about the latest laws of the imperial court.

"The local squires used to be elected, and from this month onwards they were appointed by the imperial court, and everything had to go through 10,000 letters."

The so-called 10,000-person book, Zou Shiyan began to tell it.

"Every villager writes his or her own name and the name of the person nominated by him, so that it can be integrated by the government!"

"In addition to having a good background, every squire should also have good deeds for the benefit of the township! You are here to persecute the Tang family today, is it because of this? ”

Although Zou Shiyan was a questioning word, it was already an affirmative tone.

Anyone can hear the accusation in his words, which is clearly saying that today, because these squires know the laws of the imperial court, they will appear in the Tang family and persecute Tang Chu to complete their good deeds, which is simply to use Tang Chu and the Tang family as a pedal to pave the way for themselves!

As for how Zou Shiyan knew these things, before he left the capital, he accompanied the general Zhao Zhilong to participate in other people's banquets, at this kind of banquet, the civil and military generals liked to say some things in the court that had nothing to do with them, and it happened that this matter was heard by Zou Shiyan.

Therefore, when he saw these people appear in the Tang Mansion, Zou Shiyan already had some vague guesses in his heart, and when he heard about their persecution, he was even more determined.

Amusing! As a squire, he has a certain right to speak in the township, but he chose to be persecuted because of the kindness of the Tang family, which is really eye-opening!

Zou Shiyan didn't know about this before, but now that he knows about it, he naturally can't be regarded as invisible.

What's more, his return this time is not just as simple as visiting relatives.

After several squires heard Zou Shiyan's words, they were almost red-faced, and they wanted to come forward to argue with bad words.

However, how could they be presumptuous in front of Zou Shiyan!

As soon as I heard the sound of someone insulting Zou Shiyan, a group of people suddenly came in outside, and all of these people took out their swords and unsheathed.

Zou Shiyan watched coldly, this kind of moment when his subordinates stood out for him, there was no need to care.

The squires originally wanted to overwhelm Zou Shiyan through words, and if they couldn't be reasonable, they would be sophistry, but who knew that a soldier walked in and showed his sword at them!

"You, you can't do this! As a military general, it is not allowed to use force against ordinary people, this is the law of the imperial court! A squire puffed up his chest and said, as if this made him even more confident.

"It can't be like this, why can't we be like this, besides, are you ordinary people?" A soldier asked.

Then, other soldiers also said, "Where can ordinary people wear such silk!" There was contempt in the words.

"Humph!" The squire at the head flicked his sleeves, as if he had something to say.

But at this time, Luo Dali took the initiative to step forward and said, "Our general is a second-grade general personally appointed by the emperor, and his official position is larger than the county order of Suizhou, and the scope of this position is still the capital, before leaving the capital, the emperor has an edict, and the general can directly govern the state capital after returning to his hometown!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, I immediately saw that everyone in the room had their eyes widened, and Zhao Liu and Tang Shan, who had brought Zou Shiyan into the mansion before, also had an unbelievable expression.
