Chapter 165 Arrival at Stone Village
Xia Xing'er kicked the man away and smashed him into the wall behind him.
This scene happened so quickly that no one could see how Xia Xing'er made her move.
He hissed and gasped.
Now, no matter whether they are our own people or those who are looking for trouble and talking nonsense, they are all as quiet as chickens.
Xia Xing'er calmly withdrew her foot, glanced at everyone coldly, and finally her eyes fell on Mei Niang.
Mei Niang's face was pale at this moment. She took a few steps back without caring about her image and collapsed to the ground. Her butt just sat on the kitchen knife that appeared first. She felt pain in her butt, but she didn't dare to say a word!
Xia Xing'er walked around the crowd, then signaled Zhang San to lead everyone away.
Zhang San and others saw me and moved quickly.
Wherever they go, they will automatically make way.
Especially where Xia Xing'er passed by, everyone made way for her, wishing they could stay ten meters away from her, fearing that if they were a step slower they would end up on the wall and join that person!
You have to know that it was a wall. It took a lot of strength to kick it in with just one kick!
The man stayed magnificently inside the wall and hasn't come out yet. No one knows whether he is dead or alive!
This is not a delicate and pretty girl at all, she is clearly a female devil!
They were so shocked that they didn't react until Xia Xing'er walked away, and then they went up to see if the man was dead or alive!
The man who was kicked into the wall was eventually rescued. When he was sent to the hospital, he had broken bones all over his body and a concussion. He was lucky to be still alive!
Now the whole Liangzhou City knows that an incredibly beautiful woman has come here, and she is also extremely fierce!
Xia Xing'er no longer paid attention to the follow-up here. They had already followed Zhang San to Yong County.
They traveled for a whole day, from early morning to sunset, before arriving at Shitou Village in Liuyun Town.
It was dinner time, and in the dilapidated village, smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household.
Looking up, there are about a hundred households in the village, and 90% of them are thatched houses.
The Xia family members walked towards the village and met a woman.
The woman was probably in her thirties or forties. Her clothes were patched up with patches, her face was sallow, and her hair, already gray, was wrapped in a blue cloth. She was carrying a basket on her arm and walking hurriedly towards the village entrance.
"Auntie, can I ask you something?"
The woman then looked up and saw a huge crowd of people, with fear in her eyes.
Xia Xing'er hurriedly comforted her, "Auntie, don't be afraid. We were asked by the capital to settle here, and we will live in this village from now on. Can you take us to the village head's house?"
As she spoke, Xia Xing'er stuffed a penny of silver into the woman's hand.
The woman was shocked. She held the silver tightly and cheered in her heart.
"Yes, yes, here is the silver, a whole penny of silver, it's hers..."
The woman smiled and said to Xia Xing'er, "I know, I know. Come on, I'll take you to the village head's house right away."
How could she think of what she was going to do with the basket? The only thing on her mind was the one penny of silver!
On the way to the headman's house, Xia Xing'er also learned about it from the woman.
The woman's surname is Liu and her husband's surname is Chen. Everyone calls her Aunt Chen. She has two sons, both of whom are married.
The village head here is also surnamed Chen. He is forty years old this year and has a son and a daughter. The daughter is the fourth concubine of the magistrate of Yong County, and the son relies on his sister's influence to get a job in the government office.
Now there are only two masters in the house, the head of the village and his wife, in addition there are two servants, two maids and a woman.
The village head's house is also the easiest to find because it is the only large blue brick and tile house in the village.
Soon they arrived at the door of the village headman's house. Looking at the house in front of them and comparing it with the houses of the villagers they had seen along the way, the difference was huge!
Aunt Chen went forward and knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door. Everyone could still hear the dirty curses coming out of that person's mouth!
"Here you are! Why are you knocking? It's so late. Is someone about to die or is he in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Everyone's face turned dark!
The person who opened the door was the village head's servant, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, but the disdain in his eyes was very unpleasant to look at.
Aunt Chen stepped forward and said with a smile, "Daqiao, is Li Zheng at home? This guy came from Fuzhou and settled in our village. I met him at the village entrance and brought him here."
The servant named Daqiao glanced at Xia Xing'er and the others behind Aunt Chen, looked them up and down, and said only one sentence: "Wait, I'll go in and report to our master!"
With a "click" sound, the door closed again!
Aunt Chen's expression remained unchanged. She turned to Xia Xing'er and the others and said, "This wealthy family has many rules. Just get used to them!"
The people behind him: All the village heads have become wealthy families?
It's really like a tiger in trouble being bullied by a dog. Even a servant from a small village head's family dares to give them a hard time.
After waiting for a whole cup of tea, Chen Lizheng finally arrived.
Two servants followed behind him, one was the servant named Daqiao, and the other one's name was unknown.
No one had expected that a village head could afford to wear brocade and silk, and then look at his big belly, he looks so rich.
Xia Chengsheng stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said to Chen Lizheng, "Chen Lizheng, we are exiled from the capital. The prefecture governor has asked us to settle here. Where will we live in the future?"
Chen Lizheng had already known during the day that a group of people exiled from the capital would be coming here today. It was said that they were all high-ranking officials in the past.
So he knew who it was as soon as the servant reported it to him. He was late on purpose to give them a warning and let them know who has the final say in this Stone Village!
No matter how high their official positions were in the capital before, they had to listen to him here.
"You can see what the situation is like in our village. There's no ready-made place to live. I can give you an acre of vacant land and you can build your own house!"
The Xia family members were not surprised to hear what Chen Lizheng said. They had already prepared for the worst before coming.
Xia Chengsheng continued, "The imperial court has decreed that all exiles who settle in their place of exile will be allocated one mu of land. When will our land be distributed?"
Chen Lizheng had a gloomy face and was extremely unhappy!
This group of people are really ungrateful. They just came to the village and haven't even sat down yet, but they actually want to ask for his land. Those fields are all his. If he gives them to them, he will have to harvest less grain and earn less silver. This is simply asking for his life!
The most hateful thing is that this person actually used the court laws to suppress him!
