"If I, Murong Kai, had gossiped a little more about you, Mr. Xue Dashan, here today, I'm afraid you, Mr. Xue Dashan, would have found a way to loan usury to my Murong family and bankrupt my family?!"
How could Murong Kai give Xue Dashan such a good look? He even sneered with a gun and a stick.
"Master, this, this..."
Xue Dashan was already in a panic. At this time, Muran was hit by Murong Kai's 'killing stick', which really made him wet his pants. He hurriedly looked at Zhao Bingchun for help.
As a powerful man in Fengcheng, he naturally has many connections with Zhao Bingchun, and he is not afraid that Zhao Bingchun will not help him.
Zhao Bingchun seemed to have everything under control at this time, and said a little erratically:
"Xue Mang, it's not me who is criticizing you, but this matter of yours is really unreasonable. You have also read the books of sages, why are you so harsh on my Mingjiao disciples?"
Although Zhao Bingchun's words seemed to be harshly criticizing Xue Dashan, Xue Mang, how smart was Xue Mang? He immediately realized that Zhao Bingchun was trying to excuse him.
Busy, dripping with cold sweat, said respectfully:
"My parents taught me that it was all the students who were negligent. How could I have thought that the people below would actually do such a heinous thing!"
"Master, my parents."
"You two can rest assured. A despicable villain like Xue An has really insulted our Xue family's family tradition. The students are now going to have him beaten to death as a warning to others!"
During the conversation.
He called his followers outside and asked them to go directly and beat Xue An to death who had just woken up outside.
"snort!"
"A cat cries over a mouse, fake mercy!"
Murong Kai did not buy Xue Mang's blame and sneered:
"You, Mr. Xue Dashan, are truly worthy of being a powerful man in Fengcheng. How can you think that this is the end of the life of a mere slave?"
"Did you know!"
"What is my identity, Brother Li?"
"this……"
Xue Mang was immediately dumbfounded. His slightly fat body was sweating even more, and he quickly looked at Zhao Bingchun pleadingly.
Zhao Bingchun winked at Murong Kai, smiled and said:
"Xue Mang, this matter is indeed your fault. The young master is very angry. Do you know the consequences?"
Although Zhao Bingchun's words seemed harsh, Xue Mang felt relieved in his heart.
With Zhao Bingchun here to take care of everything, he obviously had nothing to worry about. The most he could do was lose money and avoid disaster. He hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Bingchun respectfully:
"Old parents, the student is confused, please give the student a way to survive for the sake of the fact that he has been worrying about me in Fengcheng all these years..."
Zhao Bingchun looked at Li Yuanjing with a smile and said:
"Brother Yuan Jing, I heard that all the fields in your Quanzi Village belong to Xue Mang and his family?"
Li Yuanjing was naturally not stupid, and he immediately understood how Zhao Bingchun was going to settle this matter.
He was worrying about how to get some fields from the Xue family, but he never thought that Zhao Bingchun was so smart...
This also made Li Yuanjing suddenly understand!
The IQ of the ancients was not necessarily worse than that of later generations.
Especially for a veteran official like Zhao Bingchun, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is a human being.
He hurriedly and respectfully said to Zhao Bingchun:
"Old parents clearly see that our Quanzi Village has more than 270 acres of fertile land and more than 400 acres of mountainous land. They are all the property of Mr. Xue Dashan..."
Seeing that Murong Kai's face relaxed a little, Zhao Bingchun smiled under control and said:
"Xue Mang, did you hear that?"
"The sage has a saying, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good!"
"You, Xue Mang, almost ruined my brother Yuan Jingxian's family. Even if there is a misunderstanding, you can't pretend to be confused."
"These fields are compensation for my brother Yuan Jingxian. It will allow my brother Yuan Jingxian to study hard in the future, obtain fame, and serve the country."
"how?"
The matter has reached this point, Xue Mang is about to bite the roots of his teeth and is so distressed that he is bleeding, but he has no power to refute?
I could only hold my nose and say respectfully:
"The parents understand clearly, but the students have no objection."
…
With Zhao Bingchun presiding over the scene, Murong Kai watching from the side, and Xue Mang admitting his fault, how could there be any trouble?
Li Yuanjing was a craftsman with a lowly status and could not own land. However, with a stroke of Zhao Bingchun's hand, he was directly transformed into a "shengyuan" and could legally own land.
Although if we really want to pursue it legally, there must be some flaws, but the village of Quanzi is high in the mountains and the emperor is far away, and Zhao Bingchun, an old parent, personally presides over it, who dares to find fault?
soon.
As Zhao Bingchun personally wrote the land deed and both parties signed and pledged it, all the nearly 700 acres of land in Quanzi Village under Xue Dashan's name were transferred to Li Yuanjing's name and became an asset in Li Yuanjing's name.
Looking at Tian Qi, which smelled of fresh ink, even Li Yuanjing's wrists trembled with excitement for a moment!
Even though he didn't get the ten thousand taels of silver offered by Murong Kai, he obviously didn't lose money this time!
Notice.
In this era, land, especially high-quality assets such as farmland, may not be something you can buy even if you have money.
Especially local tyrants like Xue Dashan and the Xue family!
The family itself is not short of money. Unless it encounters a major change beyond its control, how can it be possible to sell the land?
Notice.
These are all ancestral property.
However at this time.
With Zhao Bingchun in charge and Murong Kai watching over him, no matter how unhappy Xue Dashan was, he could only spit out the property.
In particular, Li Yuanjing's grades were very average when he was in school in the county, but Zhao Bingchun directly defined Li Yuanjing as a "student member".
Next year, Li Yuanjing will skip the child examination and can go directly to take the "Xiucai Gong" examination.
This also gave Li Yuanjing a deeper understanding of how terrible the "two-spoken official character" of this era is!
…
After everything was settled, Murong Kai originally wanted to stay and have a long talk with Li Yuanjing Bingzhu and have a good exchange of literature.
Unfortunately, Zhao Bingchun didn't show off his head after all, so Murong Kai had to leave with him.
after all.
How can the safety of a small village like Quanzi Village, which does not even have a fortress wall, be guaranteed?
Although Murong Kai was very unhappy, Li Yuanjing was there to persuade him. In the end, he had no choice but to agree.
But before leaving, he took Li Yuanjing's hand and said excitedly:
"Brother Li, my family may have to leave Fengcheng within the next three to five days due to some things. I won't say anything more."
"My little brother is waiting for Brother Li in the capital. I wish Brother Li an early title on the gold medal list and become famous all over the world!!!"
Li Yuanjing actually liked Murong Kai's upright temperament at this time, so he couldn't help but shook Murong Kai's hand heavily and said:
"Brother Murong, definitely!"
"A gentleman's word!"
Murong Kai immediately extended his palm to Li Yuanjing.
"Snapped."
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
Li Yuanjing's palm slapped Murong Kai hard, and a crisp sound suddenly came out.
Then both of them couldn't help laughing.
It took a long time.
Li Yuanjing then sent away Murong Kai, Zhao Bingchun and others who were reluctant to leave.
But when Zhao Bingchun left, Xue Dashan, Xue Mang, who had not left here, said with a smile:
"Brother Li Xian, you are so capable. Even Young Master Murong was fooled by you."
The corners of Li Yuanjing's mouth curved slightly, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Xue Dashan was joking. The students just want to read the books of saints and don't want to pay attention to these complicated things."
"snort!"
Xue Mang flicked his sleeves fiercely, not even bothering to look at Li Yuanjing again. He waved to his followers and left quickly, but he did not forget to let Xue An's already dead body be taken away.
Only a large amount of dark red blood stains were left on the muddy ground here.
Looking at their quickly leaving figures, Li Yuanjing's face couldn't help but darken.
Even though he had friendship with Murong Kai and even the Murong family at this time, and had some friendship with Zhao Bingchun, if Xue Dashan really wanted to play some trick——
Li Yuanjing is still having a hard time dealing with it!
But at this time, he saw with his own eyes the side of Xue Dashan, including a little understanding of his nature. Li Yuanjing understood!
There are so many complications, I’m afraid it’s just the beginning!!
"Yuan Jing, what on earth is going on?"
"Why do these noble people come to your home?"
"He beat Xue An to death and took all the fields in our village from Xue Dashan's hands and gave them to you."
At this time.
Seeing that Xue Dashan and the others had already left, the old village chief could no longer bear it and hurriedly came forward to ask Li Yuanjing.
For a while.
Countless villagers who had already rushed over to watch the lively scene for most of the day also looked at Li Yuanjing eagerly.
after all.
From now on.
Li Yuanjing has become the real landlord of their Quanzi Village, and all the villagers in Quanzi Village have become his tenants. This chapter has been completed!
