Chapter 149 The county prince is taken advantage of
Xing Wu and the two government servants were stunned. Were they regarded as cattle dealers selling cattle?
"Why retreat? Si Zhengping, when will it be your turn to take charge of my cattle?" Si Qing stepped on the carriage rail and glared at Si Zhengping angrily.
"Auntie, these cows are so expensive. One cow costs fifty taels of silver. Three cows cost at least fifteen taels. There is no need for our village to buy so many cows!" Si Zhengping advised.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the villagers in the village who got the news rushed to the entrance of the village.
When they saw the three cows, they all gasped. How much money would this cost?
"Auntie, why did you buy so many cows?"
The one who spoke was Si Shanhe, who had been hiding at home these past few days and did not dare to come out. When he heard Si Xizhu say that his aunt bought three cows from the county, he almost died on the spot.
Not caring about the wounds on his face that were still healed, he ran out.
As a result, he saw these three cows, and at this moment, he felt heartbroken.
The village chief is really unreliable. He promised to take good care of my aunt, but what happened? He just took care of her and got this result?
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have been hiding at home. He should have visited his aunt from time to time. He wouldn't have let her spend so much money buying three cows at once!
As soon as he said this, other people in the village couldn't help it:
"Auntie, we know you feel sorry for us, but how much money will it cost to have so many cows?"
"Auntie, can we take the cow back?"
The villagers started to persuade me with words and words.
Hearing this, Si Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Refund for what? No matter how expensive it is, it doesn't cost us any money. This cow was given as a free gift by the county government!"
"That's not...what? It's for free?" Everyone was shocked.
"We'll talk about this later. First, find a place to put the cattle. Three government officials walked for more than two hours to deliver cattle to the village. You just let them stand at the entrance of the village and wait?" Si Qing didn't want to say more, so he simply
Pull out the Yamen servant to distract everyone.
Sure enough, her words had a great effect.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and subconsciously looked at the Qianniu trio: "Here, is this a government official?"
Why are the yamen servants still doing the job of delivering cattle?
At this time, Si Jinbai said in a low voice with his face covered with shoe marks: "Yes, they are specially sent by the county magistrate."
What? The county magistrate actually sent a government servant to deliver the cow?
The people in the village opened their mouths in shock.
After so many years of living, this was the first time they met a county magistrate who was so friendly to the people. Not only did he give away cattle for free, but he also sent a government servant to give the cattle away?
Oh my god, are they daydreaming?
It was only then that Si Shanhe noticed Xing Wu and quickly squeezed through the crowd to verify with him: "Master Xing Wu, is this cow really a gift from the county magistrate? Didn't our aunt buy it with money?"
"Don't worry, this cow is indeed a gift from our Lord." Xing Wu confirmed Si Qing's answer.
Si Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He couldn't help but sigh: "The county magistrate is such a good man!"
I used to pay money, but now I'm giving away cows. Isn't this just like being taken advantage of?
However, he only thought about this in his mind and did not say it out loud.
Anyway, as long as my aunt doesn’t spend the money, hey, I don’t care if he is taken advantage of!
After Xing Wu finished answering Si Shanhe's words, he felt that his voice sounded familiar, so he raised his head and glanced at Si Shanhe. Seeing that he had a kind face, he couldn't help but wonder: "Have I seen you before?"
"Yes, Mr. Xing Wu, my wife and I were followed in the county before. It was you who caught the person who followed us!" Si Shanhe replied.
"Oh...it's you! Are you the one who was followed by Yuelai Restaurant?" Xing Wu thought for a long time, and finally thought of Si Shanhe and his wife.
