Chapter 64: The Mine
The pain in Li Zhang's eyes was even greater, and after thinking for a long time, he asked with difficulty: "Then ...... Is he still bullying you? ”
“……?” Li Jingshan didn't know how to define the word "bullying", and said that she was "bullied" a lot by the profiteer. It's just that these things ...... It's not good to sue in front of the big brother, right?
So I had to smile and say, "No, the young master is very good to me." When he said it, he felt that it was quite ambiguous, and hurriedly made up for it: "I mean, he is very good to his men." If you go, he will not do you any wrong. ”
Li Zhang's temperament is loyal and kind, and when Li Jingshan was so divergent, his lips moved a few times, and he didn't know what to say, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "It's good if he doesn't bully you, you follow him...... Don't grieve yourself. ”
This was said earnestly, and Li Jingshan hurriedly said: "Thank you, big brother, I have no grievances." ”
The two gossiped a few words, and Li Jingshan explained again and again before turning around and leaving.
Li Zhang looked at her back, and the hand that had been holding tightly on her side slowly let go.
"Brother, Miss Li is gone?" Li Xiaomei poked her head out from behind, "You don't leave her to talk for a while?" ”
Li Zhang turned around and walked back into the courtyard, patting Li Xiaomei on the head as he passed by, "I'll leave after saying something, what's there to talk about." ”
Li Xiaomei rubbed her head and sighed, her brother is too stupid, so he doesn't know how to please the girl, what is the way!

At the beginning of June, the weather was already very hot, and the trees were screaming.
Li Zhixuan looked at the accounts in Si Zhenfang, and the more he looked at it, the more upset he became. The sales and income have not been high for several months, and some of the directors have already complained.
He was troubled by the noise outside the door. I simply pushed the pen and paper and walked to the store casually to take a look.
And when he had just gone out of the door, he saw some rough servants who were doing odd jobs gathered together, and they were looking at something.
"Oh, that's it, my mother-in-law said it looks good and cheap."
The old king who sprinkled the sweep was frowning and said, "You see, the stones on it are also novel. ”
Li Zhixuan walked over, "What are you looking at?" ”
The subordinates stood up, called "Master", and saluted respectfully. Lao Wang stepped forward and replied: "Master, it is this begonia bead flower that is shaking."
Andy said that he wanted to buy him a piece of jewelry as a gift, and I recommended this to him. ”
Li Zhixuan took the step shake and looked at it carefully, his face became solemn, "Where did you buy this step shake?" ”
"The new style of the Treasure Hunt. What is it called...... 'goddess spirit', saying that the colored stone on it is the spirit of the goddess. Lao Wang smiled: "Andy, this name is good, just for you to coax the girl." ”
"Is this jewelry very popular now?"
"Pleased! The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law like it," Lao Wang is vigorously recommending to Andy, adding more and more oil and vinegar, "Look at that stone, how transparent it is." I heard that it was picked in the mountains behind our county. How could I think of the gray stone, so beautiful to cut! ”
Li Zhixuan grabbed Lao Wang's hand and asked sharply, "Where did you say?" ”
"It's the Tongshan in our county," Lao Wang didn't know what he said wrong, and hurriedly said: "There is a quarry there, and the people nearby have been recruited to do work." ”
Before he finished speaking, Lao Wang saw Li Zhixuan striding out, he touched the back of his head, and said, "Master, is this a fire room?" Go in such a hurry. ”
Li Zhixuan hurriedly went to Xunma County to order the county, and first went to the Jingbao Pavilion to buy a crystal inlaid pearl hairpin. When I arrived at the Yamen, I saw that Ma Xianling was rushing out with a pair of officials.
Li Zhixuan hurriedly stopped and asked, "My lord, are you going to the office?" ”
"You're just in time." Ma Xian Ling walked towards the sedan chair and said to him: "Someone reported that Ruan Mingyu of Jingbao Pavilion bought the mountain, not to plant the Nalaoshzi tree at all, but to dig stones!" The official is about to arrest him and punish him. ”
Ma Xian Ling stood still, turned his head to look at Li Zhixuan, raised a vicious smile, and asked, "Do you want to go with your in-laws, and look at the excitement." ”
Li Zhixuan took two steps and bowed, "The grass people are also here for this. He took out the crystal hairpin and said with a smile: "Look, I even brought the evidence." ”
Ma Xianling laughed and said, "Okay! Let's see how that kid can quibble! ”
The group marched towards the Tongshan Stone Field.
Li Zhang happened to be on an errand in the quarry today, he
On the mountain, I saw people from the official government coming over, and when I took a closer look, I saw that Li Zhixuan was also walking next to the official sedan chair, and the secret road was not good, so he was busy asking people to report to Jingbao Pavilion from other mountain roads. I found a few familiar workers and stopped at the gate of the quarry to wait.
Sure enough, Ma Xian ordered the sedan chair and shouted: "Who is in charge here?" This is illegal mining, the government came to seal it up, and the steward came with me! ”
Li Zhang stood up and replied: "Back to the master, the small one is the steward here, this quarry is the property of the Treasure Pavilion, and we all work for the Treasure Pavilion."
It's not illegal mining. ”
Li Zhixuan jumped out and pointed at Li Zhang, "Li Zhang, why are you here?" You, actually helping Jingbao Pavilion on an errand? He angrily scolded: "You this, this eats things inside and outside!" ”
Li Zhang said calmly, "Master Li is angry. Although I belong to the Li family, there is no rule in the clan that I am not allowed to go out to work.
Ah Zhang did something wrong. ”
The people around Li Zhang are also echoing. Li Zhixuan saw that they were all the surrounding hunters, and a few of them were also from the Li clan. Those people are brave in life, and if they are really in a hurry, they don't know who will suffer when they start to move. Li Zhixuan suppressed his anger and snorted heavily.
Ma Xian Ling was too lazy to take care of their clan's internal affairs, and shouted at Li Zhang: "Although Jingbao Pavilion bought this half of the barren mountain, he changed the use without authorization, and he must be punished for his crimes. Seal me here first! ”
Li Zhang hesitated: "Whatever the young owner asks us to do, we will do it." Whether it has changed or not, we don't know. But how to deal with the official, we have to wait for the arrival of the young owner, we don't dare to make up our minds without permission. ”
"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to obstruct the official from performing official duties?!"
Ma Xian Ling has been in the sun for a long time, and he is already sweating, and he just wants to cut through the mess quickly, seal this quarry first, take down these people, and then go back and slowly interrogate.
However, Li Zhang, who was stunned, decided to wait for the young owner to come over to deal with it, but he stopped the officials from going over. The people on both sides are on the same bar, and there is about to clash.
"Stop!"
In the distance, the horse's hooves were rattling, Ruan Mingyu took Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo to gallop on horseback, and did not slow down when they got close, which frightened the officials and hurriedly dodged.
Ruan Mingyu raised his hand and waved his whip, and a whip was whipped towards the most noisy officer, and the official rolled to the ground with a thud. Ruan Mingyu tightened the reins suddenly, Bi Cheng hissed, his front hooves raised high, and he quickly fell, stopping in front of Ma Xianling's palanquin.
Ruan Mingyu did not dismount, but stared at Ma Xian Ling and Li Zhixuan condescendingly, and sneered: "I said who is making trouble in my place, it turns out that the government is also doing the work of robbers!" ”
"Ruan Mingyu, don't be forceful." Ma Xianling said angrily, "When you bought this half of the mountain with this official, you said that it would be used to plant trees. Now it's digging mountains and mining! The magistrate will punish you for the crime of using the land for private purposes, and take back the mountain according to the law. ”
Ma Xian Ling looked up at him, his eyes couldn't open when he was pierced by the sun, and he was dizzy for a while, he said with momentum: "I'm here to seal up your quarry today!" Tell your slaves to get out of the way, and Hugh will interfere with the official business! ”
Ruan Mingyu turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Ma Xian Ling with a playful smile, "What is the basis for the adults to say that I have changed the land privately?" Evidence is required to handle cases. ”
"With the purchase letter you signed that day as proof, what other evidence do you need?!"
Ruan Mingyu laughed, took out a deed from his sleeve, and shook it open in front of Ma Xianling, "I brought you the purchase book you said." You look at it with your eyes wide open, what am I writing above? ”
“…… What is it? Ma Xianling stepped forward to take a closer look, but saw that the words "collecting jewelry materials" were written on the column of the purpose of the subscription.
His face changed drastically, and he suddenly realized that he had been tricked by him.
Ruan Mingyu said with a smile, "When I pick these stones, isn't it just collecting materials for making jewelry?" ”
Ma Xianling trembled with anger, pointed at Ruan Mingyu and said, "Okay, you, you have a good way to steal the day!" You, you mean, treacherous! ”
Li Zhixuan was also busy looking, and finally understood that it had been calculated by Ruan Mingyu, he gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out that you have already dug a pit and are waiting for us to jump." ”
Ruan Mingyu smiled indifferently, "It's easy to say." I would also like to thank Master Ma, if you hadn't had to card me, I wouldn't have been able to take this good quarry at such a cheap price. ”
Ma Xianling thought that he had successfully subscribed for less than half of the price at the beginning, and he was even more angry, and pointed at him with a sharp cough, unable to speak.
Ruan Mingyu put away the application paperwork, raised his eyebrows, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "My lord, do you remember what I told you?" ”
He took two steps closer and whispered to the county commander, "Now, do you regret dying?" ”
"You, you-" Ma Xian Ling was so angry that he coughed even more and was about to lose his breath, and finally the phlegm surged, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Ruan Mingyu pretended to be surprised and said, "Yo, my lord has a heat stroke, hurry up and go back to the city to find a doctor." ”
Li Zhixuan also panicked, hurriedly helped Ma Xian Ling into the sedan chair, and rushed back to the city in embarrassment.
Ruan Mingyu watched coldly as the official errand walked away, and the bright smile on the corner of his mouth turned into a sneer.
After a while, he turned back to Li Zhang and said, "You did a good job. At the end of work today, you take these brothers to the account room to receive two pieces of money each as a reward. ”
Seeing that the young master was so generous, everyone thanked them in surprise.
Ruan Mingyu responded with a smile, but what he thought in his heart was that the eldest brother recommended by Li Jingshan was good and had vision.
Li Zhixuan sent Ma County's order back to the house. Li Jingyao came out of the house to take a look, and hurriedly exclaimed to let the subordinates help the person into the room, and hurriedly went to find the doctor. I finally arranged it properly, and then I asked what happened.
Li Zhixuan sighed and told the story.
"This ...... What a treacherous villain! Li Jingyao gritted her teeth.
Li Zhixuan saw Ma Jirong taking care of his in-laws inside, and looked, his daughter pulled out of the outer room. He raised his eyes to look inside and shook his head, "In the future, Si Zhenfang may have to fight against the Treasure Hunting Pavilion." ”
Li Jingyao was shocked, "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”
