Zhao Hao frowned when he heard this.
Before, the reason why he didn't care about the affairs of the other two manors was that he saw that the two leaders, Li Yong and Kong Weiqing, wanted to confront him.
Although he was respectful to him on the surface, he secretly did not recognize him as his new master.
In this case, let's just leave it alone for now and wait for the right opportunity to deal with it with thundering means.
Now it seems the time has come.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao looked at Luo Bi and asked, "Tell me in detail, what is the current situation of those two manors?"
Luo Bi said with some pain: "Sir, those two farms were originally richer than mine, but the tenant farmers' lives were not much better."
"I'm sure you understand the reason."
"Due to the inaction of Li Yong and Kong Weiqing, at least several thousand tenant farmers died in this severe snowstorm!"
"Moreover, they don't care about these things at all. Now the number of tenant farmers freezing to death or starving to death is still increasing."
Hearing Luo Bi's words, Zhao Hao took a breath with a gloomy expression.
He didn't expect that things would be so serious.
Thinking of the dead tenants, he felt very guilty.
It would have been better to deal with those two guys with thunderous means from the beginning.
With his status, even if someone is dissatisfied behind his back, what can they do to him?
Thousands of lives!
The more Zhao Hao thought about it, the angrier he became, at Li Yong and Kong Weiqing, as well as at himself.
After a long while, he said with a gloomy face: "Lao Luo, bring some people with me to take a look at those two manors!"
Luo Bi was startled: "Sir, it is getting late today. In my opinion, we should wait until tomorrow..."
Zhao Hao waved his hand suddenly to interrupt: "Go now, bring torches, and let your men wear more clothes!"
Seeing the completely unquestionable look on Zhao Hao's face, Luo Bi didn't say anything more. He nodded quickly and went down to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, a group of dozens of people walked out of the manager's mansion and headed towards the other two manors.
Zhao Hao's face was still gloomy. He did not choose to go to the manor's office, but went directly to Dian Village.
At dusk, the group entered the first tenant village.
There are more than 2,000 households in this village, which is generally better than the tenant village in Luobi.
As soon as they entered the village, they heard cries of grief and saw houses collapsed by the heavy snow.
There were even cases where entire groups of houses were crushed.
Zhao Hao's heart tightened and he immediately walked quickly towards the house where crying sounds were coming from.
In the yard of this family, there were twenty or thirty men and women standing, including elderly people, middle-aged people, and a few women.
In the middle of the yard was a cleared space with four rolled-up straw mats placed on the ground.
It was obvious that there were dead bodies wrapped inside the worn straw mats.
A man in his fifties, wearing a tattered singlet with countless patches, his skin turned red and blue from the cold, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.
Zhao Hao led his men into the yard, and everyone looked at them in surprise.
As soon as the villagers saw the way Zhao Hao and his companions were dressed and looked like they were nobles, they knew they were definitely not ordinary people.
An old man walked forward with some fear and bowed respectfully to Zhao Hao, who was in the lead.
"My lord, are you a relative of the Wang family... or are you passing through this village?"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and bowed to the old man in return.
"Old man, where is the head of your village?"
When they heard that they were going to see the village chief, all the villagers were stunned for a moment, and then they looked suddenly enlightened.
The big shot certainly couldn’t be a relative of the Wang family. It turned out that he was here to see the village chief.
The old man said quickly: "The noble man is looking for our village chief. I will find a young man to take the noble man there!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao quickly nodded and expressed his gratitude.
The old man turned around and called a skinny young man in his twenties over, asking him to take Zhao Hao and others to find the village chief.
Zhao Hao nodded and gestured to Luo Bi behind him.
Luo Bi walked to the woman who was kneeling on the ground crying, reached out and took out a few dozen coins and handed them to her.
When everyone saw this scene, they were all stunned.
The crying woman was also obviously shocked, and then she kowtowed to Zhao Hao and Luo Bi repeatedly.
She wanted to speak, but no words came out and only a humming sound came out of her throat.
After Zhao Hao glanced at the skinny young man, the other party immediately took them away.
A quarter of an hour later, the skinny young man stopped near an old locust tree in the center of the village and pointed to a not-so-big yard.
"Sir, that is the village chief's house. Someone died there the other day. Sir, please don't go in. I will call the village chief over."
Having said that, without waiting for Zhao Hao to speak, he quickly ran to call for help.
Not long after, an old man in his sixties with a hunched back followed the young man and walked over quickly.
Seeing the posture of Zhao Hao and others, the old man was also shocked, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and came closer.
"Sir, I am Zhao He, the village chief of this village. What instructions do you have for me?"
Zhao Hao said softly: "Old man, many people died in your village in this snowstorm!"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"A lot of people died, about 700 to 800 people. The snow was really heavy."
Zhao Hao asked, "Is it the same in the other villages?"
The old man sighed again.
"There are even worse places than ours. More than a thousand people have died in the neighboring Shanbei Village!"
Zhao Hao asked, "Doesn't the village care?"
Zhao Hao's words stunned the old man, and he looked at him as if he was a fool.
The skinny young man at the side said: "Sir, why would the manor care about the lives of us lowly people..."
Zhao Hao had a blank expression on his face, and he heard a burst of shrill crying again.
Apparently, someone else died.
The skinny young man and the old man also looked over in the direction of the crying sound.
Then, the old man bowed to Zhao Hao and said, "Sir, if there is nothing important, I will leave first!"
Zhao Hao nodded, and the old man and the skinny young man quickly walked towards the house where the crying sound came from.
Looking at the two people wearing only thin clothes and shoes, hungry and cold, Zhao Hao felt even more guilty and angry.
Originally, he wanted to see the conditions of several tenant villages.
But now, he couldn't stand it anymore.
There is no need to watch it anymore!
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao looked at Luo Bi and said, "Come on, follow me to the office of the headmaster to meet Li Yong!"
Looking at Zhao Hao's murderous eyes, Luo Bi took a breath.
It looks like the lord wants to kill someone.
Li Yong, Li Yong, Kong Weiqing, Kong Weiqing, the good days for you two are finally over!
Even if Prince Yu is standing behind you, you can't save your lives this time.
At the same time, he was also very glad that the person behind him was King Kang, who never tried to gain benefits from the manor.
