Judging from Zhang Miaozhu's attitude, this was obviously aimed at them.
As for why he targeted... Chen Yang guessed that Zhang Miaozhu just wanted to get some food for himself.
To put it bluntly, I just want to get benefits from it.
Seeing that they could no longer handle the gold and stone, Chen Yang had no choice but to come out and ask Zhang Miaozhu: "Our village is far away from here, and we really can't go back to get another hundred kilograms of grain. How about this? Look,
Is there any other way to remedy this?"
"Yes!" Zhang Miaozhu glanced at Jin Shi and the others with disgust, and then said, "Of course there is a way to remedy it. You can discount the rice price and use money to make up for it."
"How much does it cost?" Chen Yang had already thought of such a thing, so he was not surprised and asked seriously.
"It's not much!" Zhang Miaozhu glanced at Chen Yang approvingly to see that this guy was more interesting, "That's it, you can give me... three dollars."
Three passes!
The faces of those people changed.
He was anxious about gold and stone. It’s not like he didn’t know the price of food. How could it be so much?
Just as he was about to argue, he saw Chen Yang holding him down and not letting him speak. Then he nodded to Zhang Miaozhu and said, "Sanguan, right? Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Chen Yang opened the money bag and took out three pieces of money.
"Well, is this okay?"
Zhang Miaozhu's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Yang's money bag, and he regretted it after seeing the three pieces of money.
If I had known earlier, I would have shouted more, but now I have no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly."
Jinshi and the others quickly drove the bullock cart and went out.
Chen Yang followed them out.
At this time, there were already stars outside.
Everyone said it was a fluke.
If Chen Yang hadn't been here, they wouldn't have known what to do this time.
"He just deliberately stole our money..." One of the villagers couldn't help but say it.
Jin Shi glared at him.
Chen Yang also caught up at this time, glanced at them and said, "That's it for today. By the way, you should leave quickly."
"Thank you!" Jin Shi said gratefully to Chen Yang.
"No need to thank me... By the way, don't leave in a hurry. Come on, I'll treat you to some noodles."
“No, no, no…”
"You have been busy all day, and you just ate a few steamed buns. How can you be full?" Chen Yang insisted, "Let's go, I'll treat you. Besides, this money was given to me by your old patriarch. It stands to reason.
Say, this is your money."
"No, that's what we thank you for..."
"Then don't be polite. Listen to me and come with me to have some noodles and warm yourself up so that you can go on your way. Stop pushing and hurry up!"
Chen Yang was so enthusiastic, and even though everyone had just eaten steamed buns, they still wanted to eat something hot, so they finally agreed.
He took these seven or eight big men to a nearby noodle shop, and Chen Yang ordered a bowl of noodles for each of them.
These people are also farmers and can eat. They finished a bowl of noodles in a short time.
Chen Yang paid them again and bought them some steamed buns.
"Take it, you can fill your stomach when you feel sleepy and tired on the road."
This made Jin Shi and the others sigh with emotion.
"Thank you very much!"
"Thank you!" Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Okay, don't wait here anymore, go quickly."
Those people hugged Chen Yang and left quickly.
Not long after, these people had left the town and headed towards the path.
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until they left that Chen Yang returned to the store again.
Not long after I sat down, a person walked in from outside and walked straight towards Chen Yang.
"Where are the people?" When the man saw that Jin Shi and others had left, he immediately asked Chen Yang.
"Let's go!"
"Why did you leave!" The man was furious, "Do they want to die?"
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "They finished delivering everything and left naturally. Besides, it was Zhang Miaozhu who promised to let them leave at that time."
"Who told them to leave the town? You are also from their village, right? Let me tell you, their food is not up to standard, and the meat is still short of weight. You have to pay for it."
Chen Yang sneered.
Make up money?
"How much do I need to make up?"
"At the very least, you have to pay five guan of money!" the visitor said arrogantly, "otherwise, it will be treated as if I didn't pay this time."
Wu Guan?
There was already a hint of murderous intent in Chen Yang's heart.
Zhang Miaozhu obviously saw his money bag and roughly estimated how much money was left in it, so he made such a request to himself.
Chen Yang already felt guilty after accepting their money.
But at any rate, I saved their lives, and even if I ate, used, and drank, I was still justified.
But who do you think you are?
People provide you with food and drink, but you still want to steal money?
Chen Yang took a deep breath, then looked at this person and said, "Want Wu Guan?"
"This is just a preliminary number. You can go there and discuss it with Zhang Miaozhu. He will decide the specific number."
Chen Yang sneered in his heart, which meant that when he got there, he would become their meat on the chopping block.
But Chen Yang didn't care. On the contrary, the other party came to him, which even made Chen Yang feel a little happy.
It's better if you don't come, but if you come to me, that's just right.
I have a reason too!
"Okay!" So Chen Yang stood up and said, "That's it, let's go together."
"Okay, come with me!" The man happily took Chen Yang over.
At this time, there were still many people queuing in front of the temple.
But the most important thing is that many people's faces are full of fear at this time.
The sound of beatings and scoldings could be heard inside.
"We ask you to pay monthly rations, and each one of you is as if your mother is dead. What's wrong? We maintain your safety so that you can live and work in peace and contentment, so that you can farm with peace of mind. But you are not happy. You have to dig at all the monthly rations.
Sou Sou?”
No one dared to speak out, and even lowered their heads.
"What are you looking at? You are right here!" a voice shouted angrily from the front.
Zhang Miaozhu saw Chen Yang.
"I told you not to leave. What are you doing running so fast? The meat in your village is not right. It is missing. You have to make up for it."
Chen Yang looked at him, "How much?"
At the same time, he glanced at the people on the ground.
Both men had whip marks on their bodies, and it looked like they had just been whipped by Zhang Miaozhu.
But despite this, these people did not dare to say anything. On the contrary, they still looked scared.
"How much? Is it up to you?" Zhang Miaozhu spat, "Ten strokes!"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I don't have that much money."
"No?" Zhang Miaozhu said with a grim smile, "If you don't have one, why don't you use it?"
Chen Yang looked at him, then at the others, and then said, "You said we want to make up for it, but what about them?"
He pointed at the two people who had been beaten with wounds all over their bodies and asked, "Are they missing too?"
"Yes, none of your trouble-free things have enough weight!"
