Chapter 61: Eruption
With Yaren by his side, Chuyue finally felt a lot more relieved.
It's just a wave of unevenness, and as soon as Yaren and Chuyue went back together, they saw someone in the room hurriedly running towards them: "Madame is back?!" Let's go to the pearl field and take a look, something is wrong! β
What can happen to the pearl field?!
This is their lifeblood!
Hatsuki didn't have time to send Yaren back, so she hurriedly took Yaren towards the pearl field.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the pearl field, I heard the noise inside. And looking at the circle of people wearing official uniforms outside, Chu Yue's brows furrowed more and more: Have you already alarmed the people of the official mansion?
Before we got closer, we heard the pearl divers inside shouting: "Although we are not your pearl diving team now, our ancestors have been working in this pearl field for generations, if you don't let us pick, we will cut off our livelihood and will be punished!" β
"Yes! In the past, when the big house was there, this paddy field was never said to be in the hands of the first house. If you don't give a reason today, we have our own officials in charge! β
"Yes, yes, yes! You must not be allowed to handle the three rooms! β
β¦β¦
Chu Yue saw from a distance that Xie Siyun was surrounded by this group of unreasonable people, listening to their unreasonable words.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be a few rooms next to you that are picking up these pearl divers to make trouble.
Those pearl divers and the pearl divers who now belong to their three rooms under Xie An's hands are on opposite sides.
Xie Siyun stood in the middle, as if he was not dealing with such a dirty thing.
Chu Yue stood at the outskirts of the crowd and stopped: she actually wanted to see how Xie Siyun was going to deal with these things.
Yaren also stopped beside Chu Yue, and when she saw Xie Siyun for the first time, she was amazed: "It looks a little sick and weak, but he has his own bones." In the early moon, I only heard them say that the third room of the Xie family was a sick man who was dying, and now I look at it...... It's so much better than I imagined! β
can make a high-sighted girl like Yaren praise like this, this man seems to be really a bit of a backbone.
Standing in the crowd all the time, waiting for them to finish making trouble, Xie Siyun moved slightly: "What you want to say, can you finish it?" β
The person who took the lead in making trouble simply knelt down in front of the head catcher they shouted, and continued to cry: "Please also ask the official to call the shots for us poor people!" β
Naturally, the head catcher was benefited, stepped forward and pressed the knife in his hand, and looked at Xie Siyun viciously: "I have long known that your Xie family's room is not peaceful, but now I have really gained a long experience." Why, these people have been working in your house for so many years, and now that you are in power in the third room, if you say that if you don't give them a way out, you won't give them a way out? When I arrest you and send you to the county government to be tortured, you will know that you have done something wrong, right? β
The abuse of lynching makes people feel that this court is just a pickled place!
Xie Siyun was not in a hurry to argue with him, and only said lightly to the head catcher: "Let me ask you, do you know how much tax we paid to the government just by taking this pearl field?" β
This number almost made them unable to even do the things on the side, and they had to post it upside down.
The catcher was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
Xie Siyun was not picky, and said more and more indifferently: "I only want to say one thing, if this pearl field, others have to come to pearl diving, I have nothing to say." But at that time, it will be equivalent to that the control of this pearl field is not in the hands of my Xie family's third room. At that time, please ask the head catcher to inform the county magistrate, whoever uses my field, you will find someone to collect taxes. Even if they came to me, the fields were not in my hands, and they could not pay a penny. β
He shrugged his shoulders as if he was not afraid of boiling water, and coughed weakly: "Ahem, cough, cough - you won't be able to collect taxes at that time, the big deal is to let the county master take my Xie Siyun's head." Then I still sent you to collect taxes from door to door to door to collect taxes from these pearl divers who shouted bitterly and called them poor, and when you saw whether you could collect it or not, whether the old county magistrate was angry or not. β
Yes, Chu Yue suddenly reacted: it is useless to reason with these people, only by forcing them with the issues that most touch their core interests, they will know which side to stand on.
Sure enough, those catchers all look at you one by one, and you don't know what to do when you look at me.
Xie Siyun stepped forward again and continued to express his attitude: "I'll make it clear here in front of all the big brothers." If anyone wants to come to my pearl paddy field for pearl diving, then I welcome it. It doesn't matter if it's a long-term job, or it's okay to do a day job. As long as you obey the command of my steward, do not hide pearls privately, work hard, and count the money according to the month for long-term labor, and settle the account on the day of daily labor. Of course, daily workers must have less money than long-term workers, but it will never be in vain. If you wish, sign a contract with my steward, and if you do not, disperse quickly, and do not make it difficult for the officials. β
After speaking, Xie Siyun turned his head to look at the head catcher headed by him: "Official, do you say this is the truth?" β
"Ahem, ahemβ"
The head catcher could only hide his embarrassment with a light cough.
Seeing the wind, he stood on Xie Siyun's side again: "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding." Now that I think about it, it was these people who were too greedy, which led to this misunderstanding, and I asked Young Master Si Yun not to take it to heart. β
He cleared his throat and turned to face the troublemakers: "Did you hear that?" Now Young Master Si Yun is willing to make it convenient for you! But if you continue to mess around, we won't be able to control you! Now you have a job to do, and money to take. Think about those helpless homeless people, what else are you making trouble? Let's all disperse! Don't make any more fuss! β
I didn't expect the change of the catchers to be so fast, no matter how many people there were, they didn't dare to resist the knife in the hands of the shutter.
Seeing that they were about to disperse like birds and beasts, Yaren also pulled Chu Yue's sleeve: "Chu Yue, it's okay!" This young master of the Xie family's third room is not as weak as it is said outside, he is clearly a very capable person. I used to worry about you in the mountains, but now I don't have to worry about it. In the early moon, you married a good man. β
Married to a good family?
Chu Yue turned around, but she was a little confused.
Xie Siyun...... Is it a good family?
It's clearly an unreasonable fox!
But it is such an unreasonable fox who can easily solve the current predicament.
Some of the troublemakers have already taken the lead in dispersing, and most of the remaining people who have not been able to make a climate have been driven away by the arrestees.
The three rooms of them won a comprehensive victory, but Chu Yue's brows still did not stretch and said to Yaren: "See? We're leaving now, and you and Xie An will face this mess. If it weren't for my mother-in-law's serious illness, Xie Siyun and I wouldn't have set off immediately. We'll be back in about two or three months, can you handle it? β
Yaren patted his chest and assured Chu Yue: "Although I am not as bold as your family, but don't worry, what is it like here when you leave, and what it looks like when you come back!" β
With her assurance, Chu Yue was also relieved.
When the crowd dispersed, Chu Yue took Yaren to Xie Siyun's side.
But I heard Xie Siyun's smiling voice: "After watching the excitement, I finally know that I have come?" Is it good-looking? β
I couldn't hear what his tone was, and Chu Yue nodded sincerely: "It's good-looking, it's just too short." β
Xie Siyun couldn't laugh or cry a little, and didn't say anything to Chu Yue in the end, but nodded to Yaren beside Chu Yue: "In the days to come, this place will be handed over to you and Xie An." He is already familiar with most of the place, and you can ask him any questions. The main thing is to listen to him, what are you two discussing, is it okay? β
After what happened to Yaren, she had already become Xie Siyun's "fan sister".
At this time, no matter what Xie Siyun said, she just nodded.
Chu Yue didn't know why Xie Siyun trusted himself so much, Yaren so much, and Xie An so much.
What kind of person is this Xie family who is rumored to be so sick and weak that he is about to reach the third room of the Mandate of Heaven?
This question was still lingering in Chu Yue's mind until Chu Yue and Xie Siyun and Xie Shen and Qi Duo embarked on the road to the south together.
Although they have money now, they can't be too extravagant in the end, and the four of them rented a carriage with the things they need for these days, so it was extremely crowded.
Xie Shen's position was naturally more comfortable, Qi Duo was an outsider after all, and he couldn't ignore him too much, so in the end, Chu Yue and Xie Siyun were left crowded together. This is closer than when they shared the same bed, so that Chu Yue could feel the temperature of Xie Siyun's body, and the tip of his nose lingered with the faint smell of medicine on his body, which was always a little uncomfortable.
The road from Donghai to the boy is not close or far, they still have to go to Dongzhou City first, from Dongzhou City to Nanzhou City, and the middle road has to pass through many towns, and it takes about half a month to walk to reach the boy's range.
planned to stay in Dongzhou City for a day, but when he arrived at the inn at night, he unexpectedly saw two people: Yan Zhenzhen and the housekeeper next to Old Man Xie.
Seeing them get out of the carriage, the butler immediately greeted them: "But it's time for the third young master and the third lady!" In a hurry, why did you forget to bring the old slave with you? Fortunately, the old man was considerate, and he was afraid that no one would take care of the third young master and the third young lady during this long journey, so he specially ordered the old slave to take Miss Yan to accompany him all the way. β
What a dog skin plaster!
