Chapter 139 The Yan Family is Here Again

At this time, the other two injured children were also brought in. After Su Hanchu took the spiritual spring water to clean them, the doctor opened the medicine box, took out some medicine to bandage the children, and prescribed some medicine for the children to take.

"Did your village offend some important person? It's no ordinary thing to have the entire village lose its harvest."

Su Hanchu spoke from the side.

"Doctor, some people are born bad. We can't stop them from doing bad things. If we really want to say we have offended someone, it's that a merchant wanted to take over our village's land, and we didn't agree."

The doctor didn't want to get involved after hearing this.

"The child's wound has been cleaned, but it's not very serious. Just change the medicine a few times and drink the decoction I prescribed, and he'll basically be fine. I have something else to do in the pharmacy, so I'll leave first."

Su Hanchu gave Ping'er a look, and Ping'er took out some silver and gave it to the doctor.

The doctor naturally didn't dare to ask for so much money in a hurry.

"You don't need such a large ingot of silver. Just give me one or two ounces of silver..."

Su Hanchu looked at the doctor and spoke.

"Doctor, they say doctors are kindhearted. We ordinary people rely on this little rice to survive. Since you have already discovered that the rice fields have been poisoned, we ask you to bear witness when we report it to the police. Please rest assured, my family will never let you be implicated in this matter."

The doctor has certified that the rice in the rice fields is basically doomed for this year. The villagers are silently shedding tears, and some are even sobbing softly.

The doctor looked around and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'm currently seeing patients at Zhonghe Hall anyway."

Su Hanchu then gave the order.

"Liu Shan, you and Jiang Like take the doctor back."

Jun Moye whispered a few words to Jiang Like.

As soon as the doctor left, Zhou Lizheng spoke anxiously.

"Mo Ye, Han Chu, what should we do next?"

Jun Moye pondered for a moment.

"Uncle Zhou, for the next two days, don't change the water in the fields. Tell everyone not to go to the fields anymore and take good care of the livestock. Also, assign a few people from the village to detain the Zhao family members in the village and don't let them leave. The Zhao family has always wanted to sell the village. If this matter has nothing to do with the Zhao family, I'm afraid it will be unacceptable."

It was only then that everyone realized that although they had called for a gathering, no one from the Zhao family showed up.

Zhou Lizheng spoke with an embarrassed expression.

"Mo Ye, there's no one from the Zhao family at home. I'm afraid you're right. This matter is really related to the Zhao family."

Suddenly, a carriage came slowly, followed by about twenty horsemen.

Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other. Sure enough, the person behind the scenes had come to their door. It was good that someone came. The fear was that the enemy would not move.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped.

Yan Shaofeng got off the carriage with the help of his followers in a proud manner.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Everyone gathered here when I arrived. This saved me the trouble of having to send someone to notify everyone."

Aunt Zhou spoke angrily as soon as she saw Yan Shaofeng.

"Yan, you black-hearted people, did you mess with our rice fields? You did such a heinous thing, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

When Yan Shaofeng heard this, he looked surprised.

"What rice fields, auntie? I don't understand what you are saying."

Aunt Zhou wanted to tear him apart.

"You don't know? How could you not know? The villagers only have a grudge against you. Now someone has poisoned the rice fields, and there's no harvest this year. Who else could it be if not you?"

When Yan Shaofeng heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"It turns out that something happened to the rice. So much rice has withered. It's really a pity to see it. But auntie, don't worry. It doesn't matter if we lose this year's harvest. Don't we still have our Yan family?"

Then he looked at everyone.

"Everyone, it's really unfortunate that we came here today to discuss the purchase of land with you. We originally wanted to give you an extra 1 tael of silver per acre of land.

Since you have suffered this disaster today, our Yan family will give you an additional 1 tael of silver, that is, 10 taels of silver per mu of land. Why don't you sign the contract for the land sale today?"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she started cursing anxiously.

"You black-hearted bastard, you've been eyeing our land. I'm telling you, don't dream on. People like you will never have a good death..."

Su Hanchu reached out and pulled Aunt Zhou's clothes, looking at Yan Shaofeng with cold eyes.

"Master Yan is so courageous! Food is the most important thing for the people, yet he actually treated the people's life so badly. I just wonder if Master Yan can still smile after seeing the officials?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaofeng smiled and took out a piece of paper.

"This is Madam Jun, right? Madam Jun, as merchants, our Yan family has always abided by the laws of Tianyuan. This is documented. We are only here to discuss the sale of land with the villagers. Why do we need to see any officials? Moreover, even if we really need to see an official, our Yan family will leave."

Jun Moye reached out and took the document. Looking at the seal on it, he couldn't help but look at the Yan family again.

"The Yan family is indeed good at this."

Master Yan took the document back with a smile.

"Master Jun, people who do business will have some reasonable methods. This is a document from the county government, it's genuine."

Then he handed the document to Zhou Lizheng.

"Zhou Lizheng, I didn't expect that you would become the Lizheng after meeting you again. Your future is truly limitless. This is the document approved by the government. Now Guanping Village has agreed to collect taxes from my Yan family.

Now that your rice has problems, it means there will be no harvest this year. Life has to go on, so why don't we sign the contract and you take the money? At least you don't have to worry about your life in the future, and we can both get what we need now."

Now many people naturally understand that as soon as the rice problem happened, the people from the Zhao family disappeared, and the people from the Yan family came. It is obvious that this is the work of the Yan and Zhao families.

Zhou Lizheng threw the document to Yan Shaofeng with anger in his eyes and spoke.

"Your Yan family is truly unscrupulous. We will not sell this land, and we will sue your Yan family to compensate us for our losses."

Yan Shaofeng put the documents away, then opened his folding fan and waved it.

"Zhou Lizheng, you're really wronging our Yan family. We only got the paperwork these past two days. We're just here to discuss the land sale. I'm afraid your rice problem might be caused by pests or something. How can you put the blame on our Yan family?"

Su Hanchu spoke in a cold voice.

"Master Yan, we know who is responsible for the withering rice in our village, and so do you. Whether you admit it or not is not the most important thing to us. Once we see the officials, the higher-ups will always investigate thoroughly."
