This kind of thing is not uncommon in the late Ming Dynasty. It is not surprising that some tenants banded together to pay less or even no rent, taking the land as their own, and asking the landlords to bear the court taxes. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty,

In the context of an era where the legal order is on the verge of collapse, it will be difficult to avoid similar things if the master's force is insufficient and his heart is not filled with hatred.

I didn't expect that the tiger didn't show its power and thought I was a sick cat! A few scoundrels actually bullied me! Liu Baiyu's face became worse and worse, but when he looked up, Lu Tiansheng was walking slowly and slowly.

Come up - there is no sign of superiority or inferiority, it seems to be an equal negotiation.

For such scoundrels, there is no way to speak without a killing spirit. Liu Baiyu snorted coldly, and the two guards, Daniel and Niu, rushed forward and pushed Lu Tiansheng to his knees.

When I tried to stand up, I was kicked by the two bulls on the back of my left and right knees respectively, and finally I was able to kneel down.

"Master Liu! They say you are a kind man, but why do you treat others like this? It is true that we are your tenants, but we are also free!"

Liu Baiyu clapped his hands expressionlessly, interrupting Lu Tiansheng's question: "You're right, you're free! You're right, but since you're free, you can eat my rice and wear my clothes these days.

But you don’t want a penny! Do you mean that these rice and clothes are all lent to you by the master, and you will pay them back later?”

Liu Baiyu's words are very powerful. After all, in this era, landlords gave usury loans to farmers, usury was the norm, but there was no such thing as interest-free loans, and these tenants who paid the price accepted Liu Baiyu's rice, grain, and clothing.

They were already almost in poverty, but people had to eat, so as soon as Liu Baiyu said this, the tenants' expressions changed, and regardless of the temperature of the sun at noon, they knelt down to a large area with seven mouths.

Ba Tongue's begging for mercy was nothing more than asking for Liu Baiyu's grace, grace, mercy and mercy.

"The master is kind, and we naturally repay the favor. This time it was because of the dirty talk of the indentured slaves that the quarrel broke out. Of course I didn't say it to the master..."

It’s the same thing again! Why have similar excuses been used to cause trouble at home and abroad in ancient and modern times? It’s not directed at the emperor [Master], but at the corrupt officials and eunuchs under the emperor? Liu Baiyu curled his lips:

"You also know that things are taken from the hands of the indentured slaves, so you don't know that the indentured slaves are not yours, even the clothes they wear. They are all mine! Take it without asking, this is not

What is a thief? Huh?"

"I won't send you to the official, nor will I beat you or punish you. I really can't afford such a tenant, so I'd better find another job! Guards, give it away!"

Liu Baiyu didn't want to get entangled in such trivial matters as who was scolding whom, so he just cut the knot quickly, and then said to Lu Tiansheng:

"And you, Mr. Lu, are eloquent. It's too unfair to be my tenant, so please find another job!"

Liu Baiyu sounds nice, but this is a real matter of seizing tenants! Especially now is not the time after the autumn harvest, when there is no harvest, there is no food left at home, and there are refugees everywhere who work for money, and then become a tenant.

How difficult is it? Especially when you meet a good boss like Liu Baiyu who is willing to provide food, rice and clothes?

So the two families who had robbed the tools of the indentured servants, men, women, old and young, all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. They refused to leave, but they were pulled out by the wolf-like guards. The whole family was tied to a cart and pushed away.

, As for the indentured slaves, they helped happily. At the same time, they felt that they had surpassed the so-called free tenants and were now the third class in the village. Their faces could not help but glow red, as if they had taken some powerful tonic.

Pill.

Lu Tiansheng snorted coldly, stood up on his own, and shouted angrily:

"Master Liu is right to drive the thief out of the house, but I, Lu Tiansheng, have not stolen a single stitch from you. I will seize the tenants if I seize them. But your reasonableness will give me, Lu Tiansheng, some dignity!"

Lu Tiansheng's arrogant attitude irritated the guards. Liu Xiong was about to use his fists to teach Lu Tiansheng how to behave, but Liu Baiyu stopped him. He just drove this kind of thing out. I'm afraid that the whole family is a scoundrel, and beating him to death would be trouble.

Very good!

"That's fine! Lu Tiansheng, I will ask the guards to help you move! In case you keep saying that your home is like this or that, and you won't leave!"

Lu Tiansheng nodded stiffly and walked first in the crowd. On the contrary, it seemed that Liu Baiyu and the guards had become his followers, which made Liu Baiyu have the urge to ride a donkey and deceive him, but this Shandong donkey was really

He was too docile and would not threaten anyone at all, but even if Liu Baiyu tried to scare Lu Tiansheng, he didn't even scare him!

Anyway, just kick this kind of thing out. It's not worth getting angry with him. Liu Baiyu was feeling jealous, but he had an increasing urge to kick Lu Tiansheng to death. They say Chinese farmers are honest, but there are also people who are so irritating.

Weird stuff!

The secret tools of those two families had been found, and Liu Baiyu and his party also walked to the door of Lu Tiansheng's house. Lu Tiansheng suddenly turned his head, took out a few pages of paper from his arms, put them on top of his head, and said

Liu Baiyu knelt down upright:

"My Lord is merciful. This is a personal contract between Lu Tiansheng and his family. Our whole family is willing to be the Lord's indentured servants!"

Liu Baiyu's words are so shocking that he is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside: Is this a cheap bone? A good tenant doesn't do it, so he has to teach me a lesson before he becomes my indentured servant? What's more, we already broke up with me just now, what's the use of begging me now, are you crazy?

?

Liu Xiong felt that this kind of thing was cheating and causing trouble, and the so-called becoming a contract slave was just a new trick, so he was about to pull him up, but Lu Tiansheng said in a stern voice:

"How dare you! The master is here, and he hasn't spoken yet. You, a guard, are making the decision without permission. How brave you are! Who gave it to you!?"

Liu Xiong's face turned red with anger and he said to Liu Baiyu:

"Master, I think this guy is cheating and causing trouble again. Every word he says is either sowing discord or scheming. This kind of person should be silenced and kicked out. He shouldn't be allowed to speak!"

Liu Baiyu was interested in playing cat and mouse. Aren't you very arrogant? Why are you giving in now?

"Lu Tiansheng, you want to be my indentured servant, that's fine, but give me a good reason first. I think you are a dark-hearted person with shady methods. How can I dare to accept you?"

"The master is right. I, Lu Tiansheng, am indeed a person with a dark heart and shady methods. However, I am a person who wants to achieve great things. If you don't have someone as cunning as me, I'm afraid that sometimes inexplicable disasters may happen."

!”

"What, you guys want to curse the master!? Liu Baiyu's guards are all deeply benefited by Liu Baiyu, and they are extremely loyal. When they heard Lu Tiansheng said that Liu Baiyu was going to cause disaster, they all became furious.

, took out the iron ruler he carried with him and pointed at Lu Tiansheng. With just a wink from Liu Baiyu, he would beat Lu Tiansheng until his mother didn’t even recognize him!

First, he made me angry with his words, which aroused his interest in cat-and-mouse, and then he made bluffs. This guy Lu Tiansheng has a lot of tricks! So what if you give him a chance to speak?

Liu Baiyu became curious. Anyway, there was loan shark Du Guangjiu in his camp, so what if he added a liar Lu Tiansheng? Moreover, loan shark Du Guangjiu also proved that if these crooked people are used well, they have irreplaceable power.

use!

"Okay! Lu Tiansheng, I will give you a chance to prove your worth. As for whether to accept you or not, and how high the treatment will be for you, it all depends on your performance!" Liu Baiyu stopped the guards' impulse and led him
Chapter completed!
