- "Why isn't it ours? Isn't that money what Jin Xuehai and they are going to curry favor with us? Chu Ze was right.

Since it's for him, it's his money.

It makes sense.

Chu Ze looked at Li Xing sincerely.

Li Xing: "......"

I've seen shameless, but it's the first time he's seen such a shameless one.

Li Xing was silent for a moment, gave a thumbs up, and gave Chu Ze a thumbs up.

Chu Ze gladly accepted.

Li Xing: "......"

……

The next day, Li Xing was still staring at the "Jiaping Prince", and Chu Ze began to wander around Fengyang.

Chu Ze was not familiar with this place and planned to find a guide.

Coincidentally, I inquired and asked, and the guide I found happened to be the old man who persuaded Chu Ze to leave quickly yesterday, so as not to get into trouble.

The old man was also surprised to see Chu Ze.

The first thing he said was to ask Chu Ze: "The master is still in Fengyang?!" ”

The old man stared at the round eyes, looked left and right vigilantly, and then said solemnly: "Master, this is not a place to stay for a long time, you ......"

He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Ze with his hand raised.

"Old man, we know you have good intentions, but we are not afraid." Chu Ze smiled confidently.

The old man wanted to say a few more words, but looking at his expression, he sighed heavily, and swallowed the words back.

Thinking of Chu Ze's intention, the old man said: "The master is a good person, what do you command, please say it, what we can do will not be postponed." ”

Since everyone said so, Chu Ze naturally wouldn't be polite to him.

Chu Ze immediately said: "We want to take a turn in Fengyang, let's hear from others that your old man is very familiar with Fengyang, so I want to ask you to help us walk around." Chu Ze took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man, "This is a reward." ”

When the old man saw it, he waved his hand again and again.

"No need, we don't have any money, but we don't want this bit of silver. The lord asked us to lead the way, and we agreed, because the lord is a good person. ”

can offend the powerful for the sake of an inconsequential little girl.

He's an old man, and he's happy to make friends.

And the other party didn't let him do anything terrible, that is, to introduce the local people and customs.

It's not that hard.

The old man readily agreed.

But he resolutely refused to accept the money.

Chu Ze saw that he had made up his mind, and it was not easy to force it, so he could only put away the silver and thanked him.

"Let's go, where do you want to go?"

As soon as the old man closed the door, he planned to follow Chu Ze.

Chu Ze pointed to the door of his house amusefully and said, "Isn't the old man going to lock the door?" ”

The old man waved his hand, not paying much attention.

"There is no need for locks, our house is poor and white, there is nothing. If anyone can move this house, then he can move it. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Chu Ze couldn't help but laugh.

This old man was so free and easy that he was surprised.

"Okay, since you've said so, old man, let's not say anything more. Let's go. ”

Chu Ze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

What Chu Ze wants to see is the terrain and landform of the entire Fengyang, and then determine the location of the railway station.

When the old man heard that he wanted to see the entire Fengyang landform, he was also surprised.

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Ze in surprise.

There was a slight scrutiny in the old man's gaze.

After looking at it for a while, the old man asked, "My lord looks here, don't you want to buy land?" ”

“…… That's right. "But not in his own name.

Chu Ze silently added in his heart.

Seeing Chu Ze nodding, the old man showed an expression that was really like this.

He no longer took Chu Ze around.

Instead, he asked, "I don't know what the master wants to do when he buys the land?" Don't worry, sir, we deliberately inquire about the news, we just want to take the master to see a more suitable place according to the master's purpose. Fengyang's land boundary is very large, and there is a lot of land. Many of them are ownerless wastelands. If the lord wants to ...... As long as you can pass the prefect's level, it will not be a problem. ”

Chu Ze keenly noticed that when talking about Jin Xuehai, the old man's voice paused for a moment.

Although it soon returned to normal.

But Chu Ze still sensed that something was wrong.

Maybe ask.

With this thought, Chu Ze immediately asked.

"Listening to the tone of the old man, do you have an opinion on the Fengyang Prefect?"

The old man's brow furrowed even deeper.

But he only waved his hand and didn't say anything.

Chu Ze said: "Is the old man worried? ”

"Oh, let's say you're an old man, you look like a smart person, why are you so unconscious. Our master's ...... Then since I asked, I won't betray you, if you have anything to say, just say it to our master. And let's tell you, our lord came by heaven, and even the people in the palace know it, if this prefect is really not good, I can change you to another person. Such a great opportunity, why don't you seize it. ”

Zhao Si was beating a side drum on the side.

The old man looked at Chu Ze in surprise.

It seems that he didn't expect Chu Ze to have such a background.

But this also makes sense, why there are so many masters around him.

Why is it so bold, even the son of the Liu family dares to offend.

And after offending people, they are not in a hurry to flee.

It's just that......

"Can you really call the shots for us?" The old man asked uncertainly.

Chu Ze smiled slightly and said, "That's nature." ”

"You won't want to make money, will you?" The old man's face was full of vigilance, and his face showed a little tightness, his voice became sneering, and he said a little embarrassedly, "Don't hide it from the master, let's Fengyang...... Alas, except for those who are rich and those who are officials, everyone else is so poor that they can't open the pot. Those who are young and can move have gone out to beg, and only those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled who can't walk are forced to stay here, where is there any money to dredge up relationships. ”

Even if they know that the prefect is not a good thing.

But what can be done?

The officials above protect each other.

They couldn't see the emperor again, so they could only flee and go.

Those who are left can only suffer.

If you can't stand it one day, you can only die.

Hearing this, Chu Ze looked at the old man in surprise and said, "Then why don't you accept the silver we gave you?" ”

Ten taels of silver is nothing to a rich man.

But for ordinary people, it is nearly half a year's living expenses.

The old man couldn't open the pot, so he didn't even accept it.

When the old man heard this, the bitterness on his face disappeared again, and the free and easy strength of the child came out again.

He waved his hand indifferently and said, "We are just an old man, we will die sooner or later, with this money, we don't want to die." Originally, we were a little poorer now, but we were happy. But once you have the money, you don't have to say whether you can live a long time, and the days to come will become worried. With such a comparison, forget it. ”

The more Chu Ze listened, the more strange his expression became.

Looking at the old man's eyes, he became more and more surprised.

He didn't expect that in such a place, there would be this person who thinks freely. (End of chapter)
