"Wang Fa? Master Wang actually talked about the royal law with this official? A trace of contempt flashed in Zhao Hengzhi's eyes, and he said, "Okay, then I have to bother Master Wang to hand over this year's public grain first!" ”

When Wang Zhongsheng heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Lao Tzu has never paid any public grain, last year and the year before that, Lao Tzu didn't pay it, why do you have to pay public grain when you come to your side?" ”

"Because those county commanders are afraid of bullying the weak, they were exploited by you people! It's okay if you don't pay it, then I have to bring the refugees to Mr. Wang's place for a light meal! Zhao Hengzhi smiled evilly.

"You, you, you!" Wang Zhongsheng trembled with anger, "you" several times, and couldn't say anything to refute Zhao Hengzhi.

Wang Zhongsheng wanted to let the servant go up and fight, but at this time, the guard Du Yongming ran over and whispered a few words in Wang Zhongsheng's ear.

Wang Zhongsheng's back was cold, he didn't expect Zhao Hengzhi to come this time and bring a master! The martial arts of Chu Xiao, the owner of the Listening Rain Building, are well hidden, and even Du Yongming, who ranks in the top 20 in the rivers and lakes, can't beat Chu Xiao!

So, Wang Zhongsheng weighed the pros and cons, this Zhao Hengzhi's origin was originally mysterious, he was the son of the Hou Ye Zhao Ming, and he had Chu Xiao to help, if it was hard, I was afraid that it would not be easy to live in the future.

Suddenly, Wang Zhongsheng put away his anger, put on a smiling face of a thief, and said: "Hehe, Lord Zhao, in fact, I am not an unreasonable person, and my Wang is also a good citizen!" Since you want me to pay it, then I will pay it. ”

Wang Zhongsheng suddenly switched his painting style, which made Yao Yuran unexpected, could it be that Wang Zhongsheng had other plans? Yao Yuran was quite surprised.

"Come on, go and bring the five bags of grain in the warehouse to Lord Zhao!" Wang Zhongsheng was generous and paid him the grain that the king should have given.

Zhao Hengzhi opened the account book prepared by Li Zhong for him, and the five bags of rice grain were just about the same as the amount in the account book.

Yao Yuran leaned over and glanced at the account book, and then she understood why Wang Zhongsheng was willing to pay the public grain. Because Daye's payment of public grain is calculated according to the number of acres of land, and although the Wang family is rich, most of the sources of property are restaurants, green buildings, etc., and these entertainment venues alone are enough for the Wang family to earn.

Wang Zhongsheng paid the public grain, and he exchanged five bags of rice grain for his ears and roots, so why not.

"My lord, I have paid all the rice grain, you have to let the grass people go!" Wang Zhongsheng said pitifully.

It seems that the person who does a lot of evil is Zhao Hengzhi, and he is a good citizen who abides by the law, Yao Yuran pursed his lips, and the more he looked at this Wang Zhongsheng, the more angry he became.

"Let's go! Let's go somewhere else! Zhao Hengzhi had no choice but to let him go.

The group walked out of the Wang family's mansion, Zhao Hengzhi's brows tightened, this next family is the Fang family, I wonder if the Fang family will be easier to deal with?

When Zhao Hengzhi and the others came to the Fang family's mansion, they found that the door of the Fang family was actually open. There was not a single guard at the door.

"This ...... What is the situation of the Fang family? Do you want to sing about the empty city plan? Yao Yuran raised her eyebrows, she vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

"I'd better go ahead!" Zhao Hengzhi said, raised his feet and walked towards the threshold.

A young woman dressed in yellow walked towards them and said softly, "Hello, Lord Zhao, our master has been waiting for a long time, please follow me in." ”

Zhao Hengzhi ordered Zhang Dafu to wait in the courtyard, and Zhao Hengzhi took Yao Yuran, Ye Junjun, and Chu Xiao to meet Fang Lianqing.

He stepped into the front hall and saw Fang Lianqing, who had a goatee, sitting upright on a chair, waiting for their arrival.

As soon as Fang Lianqing saw Zhao Hengzhi, he hurriedly stood up and said slightly: "Lord Zhao can come to Fang's house, it really makes the cold house shine!" It's a villain's honor! ”

Yao Yuran looked around, there were valuable landscape paintings hanging on the wall, and on the table were the spring vases of jade pots with peony patterns, and even the door couplets on both sides were plated with gold powder...... Just this splendid mansion, this Fang Lianqing still has the face to claim to be a humble house, it's not too fake!

"Come on, come on, Lord Zhao, please take a seat!" Fang Lianqing's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his forehead were a little deeper.

Zhao Hengzhi looked at Fang Lianqing suspiciously, and said lightly with thin lips: "Today, this official is here to pay the public grain......

Fang Lianqing hurriedly smiled flatteringly, and said with a smile: "My lord, please rest assured, the villain has been ready for a long time, but he has been entangled in trivial matters, and he forgot about it when he was busy." ”

As soon as the words fell, sure enough, there were two domestic servants carrying several large bags of rice and grain and placing them on the ground in the front hall.

Yao Yuran finally understood, one of the two families of the Wang Fang sang red face and black face, it seems that they are prepared, these old and cunning guys are really enough chicken thieves.

Zhao Hengzhi saw that Fang Lianqing's attitude was so upright, and it was not easy to say anything cruel to embarrass him.

However, Zhao Hengzhi still sounded a wake-up call to Fang Lianqing: "Master Fang, you are busy, but you must not be contaminated with ill-gotten gains." That Qinglou is a good place, but you can't think about it, and send the innocent daughters of good families to ......."

Fang Lianqing's face was shocked, this Zhao Hengzhi was a reminder to him, the taverns and restaurants of the two Wang Fang families have been served by Zhao Hengzhi, although the Qinglou has not suffered yet, but the girl who was given by Zhao Hengzhi and left a few days ago made them lose a little money. If it is not guaranteed, the Qinglou will also be involved......

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Fang Lianqing's forehead became even more encrypted.

"My lord, please rest assured, our girls in Wanhualou are all voluntary, they are homeless and lonely, if it weren't for Wanhualou to provide them with a warm harbor, they would have been on the street long ago." Fang Lianqing said hurriedly.

Zhao Hengzhi was not in a hurry to argue with Fang Lianqing about this, although he had some evidence on his side, he still couldn't act rashly. Today's main task is to collect all the public grain, and the rest of the things will have to be broken in the future.

"The official has other important matters, so I will leave first." Zhao Hengzhi got up, and before he had taken a sip of the cup of hot tea on the table, he had already turned around and walked out of Fang's house.

"Husband, Junjun......" Yao Yuran hurriedly followed Zhao Hengzhi's footsteps.

Yao Yuran said beside Zhao Hengzhi: "How do I feel that it is too easy to solve this time, this Wang Fang and his family clearly want to exchange a few bags of rice grain for a moment of peace." ”

Zhao Hengzhi tightened his brows and said, "What the lady said is right, but for now, let's solve the matter of public grain first." ”

Yao Yuran nodded, and then, she and Zhao Hengzhi ran to a few more landlords' homes with the refugees, and the matter of paying public grain was also going well.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is full of sunset.

Yao Yuran dragged his tired body and returned to the yamen with Zhao Hengzhi. The yamen was overcrowded, and the refugees and beggars lived in the yamen, even if there was only a place to lie down, at least to block the wind.

However, Yao Yuran felt that this was not a long-term solution, and that he had to build a house as soon as possible.

So, Yao Yuran asked Zhao Hengzhi to convene everyone overnight to have a meeting to discuss.

"Ahem!" Zhao Hengzhi cleared his throat first, he was still a little unaccustomed to speaking in front of so many people.

After a while, Zhao Hengzhi spoke: "Everyone has a very rich harvest today, we have collected a total of 55 bags of public grain, these public grains are our rations, and we have to rely on these public grains to live before we open up the wasteland and farm the land." ”

"Thanks to Lord Zhao leading us! Otherwise we would have starved to death a long time ago! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the credit of Lord Zhao! ”

“……”

Everyone admired Zhao Hengzhi, and they trusted Zhao Hengzhi even more, and regarded Zhao Hengzhi as the savior of Micheng in their hearts.

"Then it's time for us to rebuild our new home! In the midst of floods, we should work together to build houses and cultivate land! Zhao Hengzhi was impassioned.

His words immediately received a warm response from the others, "Okay, follow Lord Zhao!" Rebuild your new home! ”

Yao Yuran was also relieved to see that Zhao Hengzhi could gain the trust of so many people. It is worth all the hard work, and it is the purpose of being an official that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The next day, when the dawn broke, Zhao Hengzhi and Yao Yuran took the refugees to the back mountain, cut down the stumps, and prepared to build a wooden house.

Chu Xiao and Ye Junjun were responsible for leading the beggars to cut the wood into wooden stakes of the same length.

"This one is crooked, we have to move a little over there!" Chu Xiao patiently instructed the beggars to start building the house.

At noon, the dazzling sun shone on the top of their heads, and Chu Xiao's neck began to ooze sweat, Ye Junjun looked back and saw Chu Xiao sweating profusely, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Chu Xiao's sweat.

"Come, I'll wipe your sweat for you." A soft voice sounded, Chu Xiao's heart warmed, he smiled, and let Ye Junjun wipe the sweat from his forehead for him.

"Yo, you're talking about love...... Yao Yuran said with a smile.

Zhao Hengzhi also covered his mouth and snickered, just now on the mountain, Yao Yuran also mentioned this matter to Zhao Hengzhi, saying that Ye Junjun and Chu Xiao were greasy, and Zhao Hengzhi also said that he didn't believe it if he was killed, Chu Xiao would like Ye Junjun. Now, seeing it with my own eyes, I am convinced of what Yao Yuran said.

Sure enough, Chu Xiao is a heavy taste, and he really has a good impression of Ye Junjun!

"Dwarf oil, people just help him wipe his sweat, it's not a big deal." Ye Junjun said shyly, while covering his reddened cheeks with his embroidered handkerchief.

Chu Xiao saw Ye Junjun looking so cowardly, and felt even more cute, he couldn't help but hug Ye Junjun's thin waist like a willow and take a bite on her forehead.

"Wow! What a envy! Yao Yuran let out an exclamation.

After coming to Daye Country for so long, it was the first time I saw someone sprinkling dog food in front of her, after all, this ancient's thinking was pedantic and not exposed, and now, seeing Chu Xiao make such a bold move, it was even more amazing.

"What do you envy, he will, and so will I!" Not to be outdone, Zhao Hengzhi was about to come forward with a salty pig, wanting to learn from Chu Xiao and gently hug the beauty's waist, but who knows, Yao Yuran took a few steps back and successfully avoided Zhao Hengzhi's invasion.
