Su Jian's heart was filled with anger, and the aura around her body became cold: "Fifty taels of silver, according to today's prices, is enough for an ordinary family to eat for half a year. If they are more frugal, it will only last a year."
Absolutely!"
"Madam...don't you want to give it? Do you want to default on the debt?" The peasant woman's face turned pale. After all, Su Jian was the general's wife, so why would she care about five taels of silver. At that time, the peasant woman had forgotten that the general's mansion itself was not rich.
Su Jian raised the corners of her lips mockingly. After seeing Xiong Da start to organize people on the field ridge, and many people on the field ridge went to organize people on nearby field ridges, she did not directly ask the peasant woman, but looked at the people who were coming.
Villager: "Everyone is here?"
"arrive."
Su Jian nodded and waved to Tieniu on the side: "Mr. Tieniu, my voice is not loud enough. Please help me later. If I say something, you can repeat it loudly for me, so that everyone can hear it.
Your voice."
Tieniu hurriedly saluted Su Jian: "Even if you ask me, Madam, I don't dare to trouble you."
Su Jian had no intention of telling Tieniu what he was saying. He only said word by word with a solemn tone: "Some people were not here just now, so they don't know what happened today, but in general, I asked Xiong Da to give this piece of wheat
After testing the medicine, Ergou and his family insisted that Maizi’s death was my handiwork.”
Iron Bull repeated.
The people on the ridge looked at each other and talked in low voices.
"If it was my handiwork, I should compensate. But not only me, but also the villagers Zheng and Tieniu all think that the death of this piece of wheat is man-made. In fact, the cause of death of this piece of wheat is not because of medicine, but because of someone's malicious intent.
All the wheat was pulled up a little, leaving only a few roots in the ground. Imagine that the wheat was already sick, and now it is almost out of the soil. It will die or die!" Su Jian was angry.
Tieniu repeated Su Jian's words. As he spoke, his expression became serious. He ignored etiquette and went to inspect the wheat field again.
Isn't it just like what Su Jian said? The wheat didn't require any force from him at all. With just a gentle lift, the wheat completely broke away from the soil and was pulled up by him.
Tieniu looked at Cunli Zheng with a heavy face, and found that Cunli Zheng was doing the same thing as him, and immediately looked at Ergou with dissatisfaction.
The villagers threw wheat directly at Ergou: "How could you do such a thing?!"
Ergou fell to the ground: "I...I..."
The peasant woman's face turned pale, why was the matter suddenly discovered! They obviously did it very secretly. No! This matter cannot be directly characterized, otherwise how will they stay in the village in the future? She hurriedly dropped her hand
He didn't notice that the lost hoe was quietly taken away by Xiong Er, and the owner of the hoe was also taken away by Xiong Er.
"Uncle Li Zheng, you can't talk nonsense. You men are very strong. Things like wheat will definitely be pulled out if you pull them out."
When the villagers saw that the peasant woman was still stubborn, he became even more angry. He looked around and said to the villagers: "Don't just stand still. You are also growing crops. Go and verify for yourself whether what I say is true!"
"
The villagers were hesitant, but the bolder ones had already jumped into the fields to test the truth and lies of the village's truth.
"This wheat... is too loose. It doesn't look like it was properly planted in the ground."
"Yeah, I didn't even have time to do this. As soon as I jumped down, the wheat fell down." The man said, stepped back, and added: "I didn't touch them."
…
Listening to their words, the villagers still didn't understand: "So, the death of wheat in the wheat field has nothing to do with the general's wife's medicine."
"It doesn't matter, it definitely doesn't matter!"
When the peasant woman heard this, her hands softened. The eyes of the big guys looked at her like knives. She struggled and knelt all the way to Su Jian: "Madam, I have misunderstood you, but I want to help you."
Call the shots, who is this evil person who wants to do this to me and Ergou? He is deliberately not wanting us to live, wuwu..."
At this time, the peasant woman is still making excuses! Does she want to shift the blame to others?
Su Jian gave the peasant woman a disgusted look and stepped back. The peasant woman's behavior was too obvious. If she didn't want everyone to witness it with their own eyes and didn't want them to think she was bullying others, she would have dealt with the peasant woman directly from the beginning!
The peasant woman wanted to get closer to Su Jian, but Xiong Da blocked her way.
Su Jian tugged on Xiong Da's sleeves and signaled Xiong Da to stand aside: "It's illegal to do evil to God, but you can't live if you do it yourself! I just asked Xiong Da to come over to test the medicine on my front legs, and all the wheat fields on my back legs were dead. Originally, at most, there were only
Wheat worth eight hundred cents, you want five taels of silver from me!
No matter how you look at it, you and your family are all plotting against me!"
The words "conspiracy and calculation" made Xiong Da and everyone in the village change their colors instantly.
Xiong Er stared closely at Ergou and his wife, he would not let them go.
"Madam, I was wronged..."
Su Jian sneered, and now she still has the nerve to say that she was wronged! If she doesn't show off her power, do you really think she is a kind-hearted little Bailian? She turned to look at everyone: "Our Su family made its fortune in the beginning by relying on the fields and marrying into the general's mansion.
Finally, I am also dealing with the fields. From a certain level, I love the land very much and I also love the people in my family who protect me. So when you asked me, I agreed to help you without hesitation.
Because essentially, I want everyone to have enough to eat."
The faces of the villagers were relieved, and because of Su Jian's words, they had a favorable impression of Su Jian in their hearts.
"But..." Su Jian's expression changed, and she suddenly became more condensed and stern: "This is not the reason why you treat me like a monkey because of my kindness!"
The village was frightened by Su Jian's sudden anger. Before they had time to speak, they only heard:
"Xiong Er, report to the official! The reason is that the general's wife was plotted and blackmailed by Ergou and his wife, which even caused great physical and mental harm to me." After Su Jian finished speaking, she saw Ergou and his wife falling to the ground:
"If I need evidence, I think all the villagers present will be my witnesses. If the county master needs witnesses, the people present will be willing to testify for me..."
"Madam, we are willing to testify for you! The conscience of Ergou and his family was eaten by dogs! Madam has long said that if the prescription is invalid or the wheat is damaged, compensation will be paid, but they still plan like this!"
"We are farmers, how can we be so cruel to our crops?"
"Yes, and Madam also allows the children in our village to go to the General Academy. She is a person who has been very kind to us. We can't be like Ergou and his wife, being ignorant and ungrateful!"
"That's right, that's right! Let's all go testify to Madam!"
…
The voices helping Su Jian kept coming and going.
Su Jian's expression warmed up slightly after hearing this. She no longer looked at Ergou and his wife, but only looked at Xiong Da. Xiong Da was satisfied and ordered Xiong Er to escort Su Jian back home.
After Su Jian left, Xiong Da walked up to Ergou and his wife and asked, "Should you go to the Yamen by yourself, or should I escort you there myself?"
Ergou and his wife were frightened after Su Jian said the word "reporter". Now Xiong Da wanted to escort them to the Yamen. They were even more panicked and wanted to find someone for help, but at this moment, no one was willing to help them.
.
"Uncle Li Zheng, we were wronged."
"Uncle Li Zheng, help me."
The villagers looked at Ergou and his wife with complicated expressions for a while, and finally hugged the bear with a big fist.
There was a storm brewing in Xiong Da's eyes. If Cunli Zheng dared to intercede for the couple, he would not let Cunli Zheng go.
"I dare not trouble Brother Xiong. We will personally escort these two ungrateful people. At the same time, I will expel them from the village!"
