Chapter 236 The weather is cold, you are finished
"Master Fan, please step aside for a moment." Jiang Ruo said, a sly look flashing in his eyes.
Fan Qijun immediately understood Jiang Ruo's meaning and hid aside with several yamen runners.
Wang Dagui and his companions walked in front, and eight servants of the Wang family followed behind with wooden sticks in their hands, looking aggressive.
Jiang Ruo crossed his arms and waited for the group of "bullies" to come with a smile on his face.
Chen Yan looked at Jiang Ruo, who was smiling, and subconsciously took two steps back.
For some reason, she always felt that this couple was not a good person.
Will I get into trouble if I rashly go there this time?
Wang Dagui came in front of Jiang Ruo and the other man, acting arrogantly.
He looked at Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin with disdain, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Are you the Xiao couple?"
So what if you are the prince?
Wasn't he demoted?
Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo: "......"
This guy is a bit crazy!
Jiang Ruo secretly thought: He is even more crazy than when I first robbed bandits!
Xiao Chengjin snorted coldly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Yes, we are the Xiao couple."
It's been a long time since I've seen such a rampant dog.
It's cold, you're done.
Wang Dagui laughed heartily. "I'm Wang Dagui, a wealthy businessman from Jizhou City. I heard there's some good farmland here, so I came here to take a look today."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Chen Yan, hinting to her with his eyes that it was time for Mrs. Zhou and the other two to take the stage.
Chen Yan received a hint from Wang Dagui's eyes and turned to come to Mrs. Zhou, "Hurry, it's your turn."
Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou looked at each other and said tremblingly, "Yan'er, we were the ones who took the initiative to sell this land to them."
"But how do I open my mouth?"
Shen Yan's expression turned ugly when she heard this.
She scolded unhappily, "Why is it so hard to speak up?"
"Shuo'er, you and I, all eat and live in the Wang family."
"I've finally given you a chance to look good, so hurry up."
Old man Zhou knew very well that when you are under someone's roof, you have to be humble.
He thought to himself: I have been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so long. If it were not for the Zhou family's only grandson, we old couple would never stay with the Wang family no matter what.
"Yan'er, don't be angry, let's ask right away."
After saying this with a helpless look on his face, Old Man Zhou gently tugged at Old Lady Zhou's sleeve.
Shen Yan watched Old Man Zhou and the other man walk up to Jiang Ruo before she breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to get close to Wang Dagui, I put in a lot of effort.
At least she managed to secure the position of step-wife.
Old Zhou and his wife came to Jiang Ruo and said with a guilty look on their faces, "Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, long time no see."
Jiang Ruo looked at Mr. Zhou and the other man, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Long time no see, Mr. Zhou and Madam Zhou."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Zhou quickly waved his hand and said, "Madam Xiao, I'm no longer a wealthy man. Just call me Old Man Zhou!"
Jiang Ruo glanced at Chen Yan beside Wang Dagui and seemed to understand something.
The former Mrs. Zhou has remarried.
Old Man Zhou glanced at the wheat field with an extremely complicated expression.
He stammered, "Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, we came here today to discuss with you about buying back these fertile fields at a high price..."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Wang Dagui's smug face, his face turned stern, and he refused coldly, "We won't sell these fertile fields."
When Old Mrs. Zhou heard this, she became anxious.
She stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master Xiao, if you refuse in a hurry, we will offer a high price."
"After you get the silver, wouldn't it be better to buy some more good farmland?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin shouted, "There are so many fertile fields in Jizhou. Why are you focusing on this one?"
Old Mrs. Zhou shuddered at Xiao Chengjin's aura.
Then she raised her sleeves and pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.
"Master Xiao, we don't have any other intentions. We just have a special interest in this piece of fertile land..."
Jiang Ruo secretly observed their expressions and knew that Wang Dagui was the "mastermind".
The goal is not the fertile land, but the wheat.
She said with an unhappy look: "Okay, stop talking."
"I won't sell these good farmlands of mine."
Wang Dagui, upon seeing this situation, shouted with a swagger, "Seven thousand six hundred taels of silver, will you sell it?"
Originally, you bought it for 6,600 silver coins and made a profit of 1,000 taels by selling it.
"I won't sell it even for 70,000 taels. Get out!" Jiang Ruo said, glancing at Wang Dagui.
Wang Dagui was immediately enraged and said, "You, you'd better quit while you're ahead."
"Otherwise, I will drive you out of Jizhou."
"A demoted...ah..."
An Er appeared in front of Wang Dagui like a ghost and knocked him to the ground with one palm.
Jiang Ruo looked at Wang Dagui lying on the ground and wailing, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...you're too weak to take a beating."
"Someone come, someone has been beaten to death..." Wang Dagui rolled and crawled behind the servants.
The villagers who were watching the fun burst into laughter at this scene.
"Haha, aren't you just asking for a fight?"
"Yeah, why didn't I kill you?"
"You still dare to covet Mr. Xiao's fertile land? Are you tired of living?"
......
Facing the villagers' ridicule, Wang Dagui cursed: "Shut up, all of you! I paid a high price for it, but I don't have Mingqiang."
As he said this, he subconsciously shrank his head.
The guy who just jumped out was so fast that he almost killed him.
This revenge...will be avenged sooner or later!
Shen Yan quietly came to his side and persuaded him: "Husband, how about, let's forget about this!"
"If they don't want to sell, we can't force them to buy."
When Wang Dagui heard this, he became extremely angry.
He cursed at Shen Yan: "Get lost, what do you, a woman, know?"
Fan Qijun watched the excitement from behind and walked out with an angry face.
"Wang Dagui, you actually engaged in forced buying and selling in front of this government."
"Come here, take him back to the government office and give him ten or twenty lashes of the cane to serve as a warning to others."
Wang Dagui and others were stunned when they saw Fan Qijun suddenly appearing.
Why is the prefect here?
He doesn't want to be spanked.
How to argue?
