Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Taoist Priest Presents

It turned out that throughout the day, the third uncle was organizing farmers and tenants to discuss the matter of sowing seeds in the spring of the next year, until he returned to his current temporary residence - a small courtyard next to the fourth uncle's mansion, and learned that Gantang had come to the county, so he hurriedly cleaned his hands and came over.

Compared with the fourth uncle, who is a government official, the third uncle, who has only been seen for two months, is blue and black, his face is dull, his clothes are as cold as ice, and he has lost a lot of weight.

It can be seen that these two months of rushing.

Gan Tang saluted him, and the third uncle bowed slightly in return, "After returning home, I heard that Tang'er went to see your lobby brother, and ordered someone to go to Yan Longcheng to bring medicinal materials to your lobby brother, the third uncle is really grateful." ”

"The third uncle is outside, and I also hope that Brother Lobby will get better soon, don't miss next year's spring." Gan Tang said modestly.

When it came to Chunqiu, the third uncle felt guilty, on the day of the family law, he wanted to do it himself, but his eldest son said that his son was an adult, and he should share his father's worries, so he took down a few rattans with murderous intent.

Originally, the third uncle still had awe and forbearance for his parents, but those rattans interrupted the last love between them.

He has already decided that even if he enters the Netherworld in the future, he will be punished by the judge for being accused of unfilial piety and being flayed, he will split up.

"Tang'er, in the land of Huapingan, I invited Dr. Nongsang, a well-known doctor in the court, to be guided, he said, that land has paddy fields, dry land, growing rice, wheat, sweet potatoes ......"

"Third uncle, you and I are uncles and nephews, not the master of the family and in charge, there is no need to talk about this matter at home, just know in your heart, at the end of next year, according to the contract, I will be paid what I should give, and it will be done." Gan Tang didn't want to ask more about that side.

She originally wanted to ask, but during the day, she heard Sui'er tearfully talk about a bunch of difficulties for her third uncle during this time, so she didn't want to ask more.

I will believe in the Gan family again, and I will believe in the person who spoke for her back then.

The third uncle was moved in his heart, since the accident at home, he was worried that Gantang would be troublesome and take back the right to manage the field.

This night, Gan Tang did not resist the enthusiasm of the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle, and rested at the fourth uncle's house.

On the second day, she was about to say goodbye and go back to Yan Long.

As soon as she boarded the carriage and sat down, she heard a commotion at the door of the third uncle's house next door.

The fourth uncle apparently knew what was going on, and he said, "I'm afraid that the tenants of that field will make trouble again." ”

"Why is there a fuss?"

"It happened to your eighth uncle, he was one step ahead of your third uncle and said to those tenants that as long as he continued to grow crops such as tobacco and apricot pears, he would not make money, and he also compensated at a discount, and your eighth uncle even found a Taoist priest to tell fortunes, and you also know that everyone believed in this."

After ascending the throne, he majored in a Taoist temple, and he had to summon Taoist priests several times a year, and when he went up and down, people believed in Taoism very much, and when he encountered something undecided, he would go to ask for divination.

Gan Tang almost immediately thought of the fact that he was falsely accused by a white-eyed Taoist priest of having an unknown background, but that he was a big lonely and terrible person, and that he would kill his parents and siblings.

At that time, she almost wanted to die immediately, wanted to go to the underworld to complain to her parents immediately, and wanted to be with them forever.

"It's really not the old trick, it's effective." Gan Tang snorted coldly.

In fact, nowadays it is not a Taoist priest without immortal wind bones, but those people have long been untainted with the world, so they have given some people who are lustful for profit the opportunity to exploit loopholes.

Gan Tang got out of the carriage and walked to the courtyard of the third uncle's house.

There are no waiters in the third uncle's family now, so dozens of tenants and the men of the third uncle's family personally came forward to stop them.

But a group of pampered radish men in their early teens are no match for the imposing farmers who work in the fields all year round.

Gan Tang just walked to the door of the third uncle's house, and when he went to the third uncle's house that day, the little cousin he saw who was not yet six years old was pushed to the ground by a tenant farmer.

Gan Tang's thin lips opened lightly, and he ordered the government soldiers to control the tenants.

At first, this group of tenants saw that there were not many men in the third uncle's family, and they were all like swallowing mountains and rivers, as if they wanted to split them into their stomachs, but now they saw dozens of tall and mighty government soldiers suddenly rushing out, busy pleading for mercy.

It's good to know the current affairs, and it's good to know the current affairs.

Gan Tang walked from the two roads of the government soldiers to the front of the people.

"Are you tenant farmers of the land in Huapingan?"

The weather was cold, and Gantang's coat was gorgeous and thick, her small head was also covered by a hat, and most of her delicate face was hidden under the hat.

Her voice was cold, and with such weather, there was a bit of unkindness in the coldness.

The group of tenant farmers was afraid of the group of soldiers, but they didn't want to be deterred by Gantang, so they said one after another, "So what? ”

"Even if you are a tenant, you should know that the land belongs to the lord's family, and you don't need to consult with you about the arrangements of the lord's family. The next master who is willing to rent your land has already been found. ”

"What do you little lady know! Although we are tenants, but we also have to earn money to live, sign a deed with the main family for ten years, the first two years are fine, after a few years, the main family suddenly let the tobacco plant, and suddenly let the corn that is about to be harvested be replaced with apricots and pears and other fruit trees, now the fruit trees are easy to bear fruit, he ...... "The tenant farmer who spoke pointed fiercely at the third uncle, "He came again to let people inform us that the fruit trees were cut down, and the period of ten years passed for six years, and the main family gave us two dollars of silver every month, but a large family of people was waiting to eat and drink, how could two dollars of silver be enough?"

In short, today, either we will pay back three times the money we rented according to the deed, or the fruit trees will not be moved, and we will be compensated according to the promise of the lord of the family if they are insufficient. ”

"Six years, you little lady who wears gold and silver knows that after planting corn in the summer and paying enough to the master's family, the remaining rice grain in the family is only enough to eat for two seasons, and when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, if you don't go to the mountains to hunt, someone in the family will starve to death, and there will be people who are sick and can't afford to take medicine?"

"Everyone is human, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you want to come out of one, what about us, we have to fill it with our lives."

Gantang could barely stand.

Gantang's dressing style is considered plain, but the materials used are also high-quality fabrics, and the embroidery is also a delicate embroidery method.

But this group of tenant farmers only had two coins of silver a month, and if they looked carefully at their clothes, they looked thick, but in such cold weather, they didn't seem to be able to resist the frost, and their lips were purple and trembling.

"Third uncle, clean up the empty room and come out, and take them in to avoid the wind." Gan Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

The third uncle looked at Gan Tang's face and saw that her expression was quite normal, so he hurriedly introduced the dozen tenants into the house.

When there were only a few Gantang masters and servants outside the house, Mama Li said distressedly, "Girl, it's not your fault, you haven't lived like that, how do you know that they will have a bad life, you also want to set things right as soon as possible." You're so clever that you'll be able to take care of it. ”

"Mama, it was my ignorance that caused the predicament of today's tenants." Gan Tang blamed herself, her growth environment made her not short of food and clothing, and she was not afraid of a future and no tomorrow.

She had also suffered a great deal at the beginning, and she thought that she had been able to deeply understand the pain and happiness of everyone, and she could grasp the way to get along with them, but she had just ignored the plight of that group of people who had suffered so much.

……

If you know your mistakes, you will be a good child.

Gan Tang was not an aggressive and unreasonable person, she met with the tenants several times with her third uncle in the next few days, and finally came up with a solution that was acceptable to both sides on the fourth day, that is, the penultimate day when Yan Longcheng was going to be locked down.

In addition, she also paid for the tenants on the fertile land to kill chickens and pigs, and cut new clothes, so that they could live more comfortably at the end of the year.

The tenant farmers were all honest and duty-bound, and when they saw that the little lady of the main family knew their predicament, they ran for them and planned for them, which showed their sincerity, so they changed their previous arrogant attitude and became grateful to Gan Tang.

On the day when Gan Tang was going back to Yan Long, they also came to see each other off.

But Gan Tang didn't make it this time.

It's not because the tenants are making trouble again, but because of a Taoist priest.

Previously, the harvest of the fertile land was not good, and the desperate tenants crowdfunded and hired a taxi to resolve the disaster for them, but later, Gan Tang learned about the tenants' plight and actively solved the problem.

The tenants forgot that when they asked the Taoist priest to do the ritual before, the Taoist priest said that he would come back in a few days to do the ritual and keep the fertile land and have a good harvest next year.

On this day, the tenants sent Gantang to each other, and the Taoist priest recognized several of them, and when he saw that they were gathered in the city instead of preparing for the sacrifice at home, he had doubts in his heart, so he stepped forward to ask.

Who knows, his delay collided with Gan Tang.

Gan Tang recognized this Taoist priest at a glance as the fake Taoist priest who poured her to drink talisman water back then, and arrested the person with a cold face on the spot.

When the Taoist priest was arrested, he was still confused, and he didn't think of Gan Tang at all, but Gan Tang was already full of anger and told his inhumane experience back then, and he was also confused and shouted wronged.

Because the fourth uncle, who was a government official, also came forward, this Taoist priest even cited where his teacher came from, how many years he had practiced, and what major rituals he had performed, in order to make sure that what he said was true.

But Gan Tang was sure that he would not admit his mistake, the only difference between this Taoist priest and back then was that he was just a boy back then, and the presiding officer of the eradication ceremony day and night was not him, but his master.

Four years ago, when the fourth uncle raised his sword to find someone, the Taoist priest had already gone to the empty building, but he didn't expect that a few years later, his apprentices would all be out of school.

Out of trust in his family, the fourth uncle asked the yacha to lead the Taoist priest to his base camp to find the Taoist priest who slandered Gantang back then.
