Chapter 620: Down-and-Out Landlord

Chen Mu thought about it for a while, went back to the room, and wrote a letter to send to the capital, preparing to prepare for the forestry management office.

After the middle-aged man was arrested, Chen Mu immediately sent someone to his home, ransacked his home, and handed over all the silver from cutting down trees to the people who were persecuted by the flood.

Since he was the one who started this incident, it is also appropriate for him to bear this responsibility.

"In addition to this, there is also the origin of those timbers, send someone to investigate carefully, and be sure to find out the identity of the person who bought the timber, the origin of which is unknown."

"The person who bought it should also be able to detect that there is a problem with the timber, and in such a situation, it is also an accomplice to dare to buy timber."

Chen Mu instructed the county magistrate who came to visit, and when the county magistrate heard this, he immediately nodded and responded.

Chen Mu also asked people to clean up the sediment of the river, and dredged the river as soon as possible, and after another two days, the river water finally withdrew from the village.

Chen Mu asked the county magistrate to take the people who had received the disaster relief money back to the village to resettle and help the people rebuild their houses.

At the same time, Chen Mu also heard that when the rich merchant was cutting down trees, he also had his eyes on a forest on the opposite side of the riverbank.

Chen Muren investigated, the woods on the opposite side of the river bank were intact, and there were no woods in the mountain that had been cut down.

"It was the village that was stationed around the woods, and the villagers protected the forest."

There was a small landlord in that village, and it was the small landlord who stepped forward and asked his own children and his own family to drive away the man who had been sent by the rich merchant to cut down trees.

The rich merchant heard that the small landlord was also going to tell the county magistrate of the surrounding city about it.

So he sent someone to break the legs of the head of the small landlord's house and several young men in the house, so that they could no longer afford to work in the fields.

Although the landlord had a lot of grain in his hands, he also hired tenant farmers to cultivate part of the land.

However, his legs were broken and he was inconvenient, and some landlords and wealthy families in the same village heard about what had happened to their family.

They also sent people to take away part of the land in their hands.

"Now they can live their lives, but they are not as rich as before, and the people of their village often go to the landlord's house to visit each other."

"The landlord is also one of the few rich people in their village with a conscience."

"Alas, it's a pity that we have ended up at this point, but fortunately I heard that the rich merchant who cut down the tree has been arrested."

"The landlord's family will be happier when they learn about this."

Some villagers shook their heads helplessly, Chen Mu heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded in response, he frowned, and turned his head to look at Lord Ye.

Lord Ye understood what Chen Mu meant, and immediately responded and hurriedly retreated.

Chen Mu came to the disaster-stricken village with Lord Ye and others to investigate the situation of his villagers rebuilding the village, and accidentally learned about it.

Chen Mu thought about it and wanted to visit the landlord's house, and the landlord could be regarded as suffering from an unwarranted disaster.

But then again, if it weren't for him, the woods on the other side of the river would have been cut down by the rich merchant, and by that time, there would have been a rainstorm, and even more people would have suffered.

Now that the torrential rain has fallen, only a few villages living around the river have been affected.

"The landlord saved the lives of hundreds of people, and the people living on the other side of the forest were not disturbed by the floods, and the people should be grateful to the landlord."

Chen Mu sighed, and the subordinates who followed him also nodded and responded.

Cao Lao also sighed with a sigh on his face.

"This landlord Jiren has his own natural appearance, and now some people have told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when you learn about this, you will definitely not stand by and watch it coldly."

Chen Mu hooked his lips and smiled slightly and nodded.

He understood what Cao Lao meant, and he did intend to stand up for the landlord.

I heard from the people that someone took advantage of the distress of the landlord's family and took away their land......

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, he also asked Lord Ye to investigate the residence of that family, and when he found out the residence, he went to visit the landlord's family.

After walking around the village and sitting at a village chief's house for a while, Lord Ye hurried in and told Chen Mu about the situation of the landlord he had investigated.

"When I went to the house, I saw that although the house was large, it was extremely dilapidated, and I heard that the landlord had sent away his subordinates and householders."

"Because part of the land has been taken away, the rest is now only enough for them to support the tenant farmers, and they have no extra money to support their families and subordinates."

Chen Mu frowned and nodded in response.

He immediately led people to the landlord's house, as Lord Ye said, the landlord's house was indeed a little down.

The courtyard walls of the house are a little detached from the bricks and stones, but no one has repaired them.

Chen Mu took a step forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door, there was a sound of harmony in the door, the sound of wheels turning approached, Chen Mu listened to this sound, and sighed leisurely.

There was a click in the gate of the courtyard, and a young man peered out.

Seeing the people standing outside the courtyard, the young man was stunned, and then a little vigilance appeared in his eyes,

"How many are ......"

"We are people who come here and want to visit the landlord Qian, we heard about what happened to the landlord Qian's family, and we want to visit the landlord and the younger generations in his family."

Lord Ye took the initiative to step forward, arched his hand, and said so.

The young man in the room was stunned, but he didn't open the door immediately, he frowned and stared at the people in front of him.

"Visiting my grandfather? What do you mean by that, and what do you mean by coming here? ”

"Our family is just a group of ordinary people, and we don't have any reputation, you ......"

"It's something related to that Liao Fuhu, so we have heard about the evil things that Liao Fuhu did to your family, and our adults are very grateful to your family."

"That's why I want to visit in person, and besides, we adults have also heard about your land being taken away."

As soon as he heard about Liao Fuhu's name, the young man's face suddenly darkened.

Before Lord Ye finished speaking, he closed the door.

Master Ye was stunned, and turned his head to look in the direction of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, he didn't say much, he took a step forward, raised his hand and patted the door, and then said to the people inside the door.

"This little boy, you don't have to worry, Liao Fuhu has been arrested, and his matter of cutting trees and selling timber has been exposed."

"The county order has put him in a dungeon, and he will be sent to the border in the future."

"You don't have to worry, we are really here for a visit, and there is absolutely no other purpose."

Hearing this voice outside the door, the person inside the door hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door again.

"What you say is true? That Liao Fuhu has really been arrested! ”

"It's so good, watching that thief suffer, I feel relieved."
