Chapter 64 Thirty-stone Sweet Dates
"Yes! If Wan is really not greedy for the public money you talk about, I will personally send you to the Yamen today!"
Zhu Chaozhang's sonorous and powerful voice arrived as promised.
With the support of Zhu Jizhong and Jiang Yuan, he walked up to Ye Sangwan, with a look of shame and annoyance on his face: "Liu Goudan, tell me what money Wan is greedy for? Tell the truth!"
Liu Goudan was the man who just asked for two thousand taels of silver. When he heard this, he turned his head aside with guilt and made up nonsense: "These aunts said that Ye Sang dug up treasures in the mountains at night and sold them to make money.
family fortune!
Banyuepo Mountain and Cangshan Mountain are the public property of our village. She dug up treasures from them and sold them for money. Naturally, they belong to the public."
Zhu Chaozhang took a few breaths, suppressed his anger, and closed his eyes in disappointment. His lips trembled and he jumped on his feet and roared: "You are a fool who is worse than a pig or a dog!"
Banyuepo and Cangshan are the public property of the village. Does Wan Yatou make money from digging ginseng from the mountain and it belongs to the public?
The kudzu your mother dug on Banyue Slope two days ago, why don't you say it's public property if you replace it with a copper plate?
And your sister-in-law Lu, yesterday I saw you digging wild onions in the mountains. Why didn't you say they were from the government and take them out to share with everyone?
And Sister-in-law Tian, your Juanzi dug a lot of kudzu roots in the mountains, right?
I heard that the money for your monthly medication comes from here, why don’t you take it out and share it with everyone?”
The more Zhu Chaozhang talked, the angrier he became, so angry that his lips turned purple.
Ye Sangwan quickly took out a heart-saving pill from the space and gave it to him to take, and asked someone to bring him a stool.
"It's true that I was lucky enough to earn two hundred taels of silver from a ginseng plant in Cangshan, but this ginseng grows there, and it grows for decades. Everyone present is older than me, and you can't meet it yourself.
, this becomes mine instead, doesn’t it?
If you are willing to convert the money you have earned from hunting in the mountains over the years, the money you have earned from digging kudzu, and the wild vegetables you have dug back, into silver one by one and distribute it to everyone in the village, I will give you the two hundred taels from selling ginseng.
!”
When self-interest is involved, everyone's eyes become secretive.
Liu Goudan made a sound and said without hesitation: "It cost more than two hundred taels to build your yard, right?"
"I wonder how much money your family spent on building their house?" Ye Sangwan asked.
“How much money does it cost to build my house is none of your business?”
"Then how much money it costs to build my yard does it have anything to do with you?"
"You!" Liu Goudan became angry: "Ye Sangwan, you are very sharp-tongued!
Everyone knows that your money came from a shady source, and you have secretly hid so many treasures in the mountains in exchange for money. Do you think you can get away with it by messing around like this?"
"Oh?" There was a chill in Ye Sangwan's eyes, as if a layer of ice had been quenched: "You regard the medical fees earned from practicing medicine and the money earned from opening a shop as being from a bad source?
Could it be that the money you earned from gambling in the gambling house came from a good source?"
Seeing a group of official servants riding horses and wearing soap uniforms galloping towards the road, Ye Sangwan was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
Ye Sangwan looked calm and his eyes were like autumn water: "Today's matter will be decided by the government."
As soon as she finished speaking, the officer quickly turned over and dismounted after hearing the sound of the horse.
Catcher Yang put his hand on the saber at his waist with a solemn expression.
"Village Chief Zhu, someone reported that someone broke into a house. I'll bring someone to take a look."
Zhu Chaozhang didn't have the slightest intention to protect the villagers. He raised his hand and pointed: "These are the people."
The person accused by Zhu Chaozhang waved his hands repeatedly. The scene of the arrest of Hua Pozi, Miao Miao and others was vivid in his mind. The reputation of Yang Captou had already been spread in Banyuepo Village.
Yang raised his head and raised his hands, and his subordinates took hemp ropes and tied up the ten or so unrepentant villagers, holding them captive and kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Jizhong replaced Zhu Chaozhang and recounted the process without favoring any party.
Yang Captou narrowed his eyes slightly and directly convicted: "You are greedy. You broke into private houses first and slandered others. Today, you will be fined 20 pieces of board to correct the situation!
If he commits the crime again, he will be directly sentenced to exile for robbery! He will be executed immediately!"
"My lord, please spare my life! We don't dare to do this anymore, lord!"
"Sir, we realize our mistake, please spare my life!"
"The women of the common people were tricked by others. Please find out the reason and prove our innocence, sir!"
"..."
Captain Yang acts with force and resoluteness, even if the target is a woman or child who is crying until her buttocks are wet, he will still beat him without mercy.
The constant begging and biting sounds from several people made Zhu Chaozhang more aware of the bad nature of these people. The good soup in Banyuepo Village must not be spoiled by these few mouse droppings!
Zhu Chaozhang clutched his heavy chest and said sadly: "I don't want to see you guys in Banyuepo Village within half a month! If there is any objection, the whole family will leave the village!"
The villagers were frightened by the actions of Yang Captou and Zhu Chaozhang, and looked at Ye Sangwan like poisonous snakes and beasts.
This incident all started because of Ye Sangwan, and ended because Ye Sangwan gave him a handful of sweet dates.
"Today, I, Ye Sangwan, am grateful for the support of my fellow villagers. From tomorrow on, I will lend you 30 shi of food in my name to help you tide over the difficulties, and I will not charge any interest.
Except for the families who just slandered me for no reason!"
Zhu Chaozhang's eyes suddenly widened with relief: "Awan, are you really willing to help everyone?"
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Ye Sangwan promised, and then told Jiang Lu next to him: "Mr. Jiang, please keep an eye on the person to handle this matter. You must not miss anything, and don't forget to write the IOU."
Although this is not free, in this world, for the villagers who have no money and no food, it seems that they grabbed the only life-saving grass before drowning and dying.
The villagers were stunned by this sudden surprise. Their eyes were all red and their whole bodies were shaking with excitement.
Ye Sangwan saw everyone's expressions one by one, her expressions were both happy and sad.
Taoliang also stared at Ye Sangwan in fascination, always feeling that the current master must be hiding something in his heart.
A girl who has not yet had her hair is forced to do this by these people. Master, it must be very hard for her, right?
At this time, Jiang Yuan was pulling out the hair on her head anxiously. She was straight-forward in doing things and couldn't understand why the master would give up thirty dan of food to feed these greedy people even though they had won.
Ye Sangwan frowned and temporarily put aside the chores in his heart. He turned around and looked at Yang Captou: "Thank you so much for your help today, Yang Captou. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to clean myself even if I jumped into the Carrot Lake today."
Already."
Yang Baotou said to her: "Miss Ye, there is no need to be polite. I believe that if Yang doesn't come today, you will have backup plans."
As he spoke, he glanced at Dong Bai with unknown meaning.
Dongbai then stood up and explained: "I met Mr. Yang on his way back."
Ye Sangwan heard the mystery behind the words.
While she introduced Yang Captou into the small garden, she asked: "Yang Captou is busy with official duties, so he made this trip today, but what's the important matter?"
Chapter completed!
