Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort - Chapter 429
The man’s face was ugly and his face was gloomy: “don’t mention it! Those bullies said that our village was useful to them. They also said that they would give us some silver and let us leave. When their great event is successful in the future, we will be grateful. How can we leave the village when we have lived here for generations?” the man said, his eyes red: “They threatened my father. If he didn’t take us away, he would kill my father. My father didn’t mean it, so he was beaten. He also said that he would only give us three days.”
“Oh? You didn’t report to the government?” situ was enchanting and surprised.
“Hey… We’ve always been closed in this village. Even if they report to the government, they don’t want to take care of it. Moreover, these people seem to be officers and soldiers. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Let’s move away. My father also said to avoid it for a while these days. When they leave, we’ll come back. Now it seems that it’s the only way.” The big man said, shaking his head helplessly.
Situ was enchanting and frowned at his speech.
According to what the big man said, I’m afraid something big is going to happen. Although there are occasional businessmen bullying the nearby villages, there has never been any forced buying or selling at the foot of the emperor. What’s more, all the villagers have to move away. What’s more, no one in the capital knows about it. They can do it so strictly and know these villages The people won’t tell. Maybe there are only people in the capital.
The big man said that those people looked like officers and soldiers. I’m afraid they were subordinates of the princes? Situ frowned at the thought. He wanted to go back and tell dantai Wuyue about it. However, Luo qiushen was still in front of him. He had to bear it for a while.
Looking at Luo qiushen, situ was enchanting and decided to solve the problem first.
Situ enchanting and Luo qiushen followed the big man to the big man’s home. The big man’s father was the village head. At this time, the old village head was basking in the sun at the door, leaning on crutches and bruises on his face, which also confirmed that the big man was not lying before.
“Leng Zi, who is this?” the old village head looked at the big man and asked puzzled.
“Daddy, this is miss lian’er we saved before. She’s here to solve our problems.” the big man said excitedly.
“Solve the problem?” the old village head looked at situ enchanting and Luo qiushen in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
“I want to buy your peaches for ten years. 1000 Liang a year. However, it is required that my people come here to pick peaches when they are ripe every year. But I can also guarantee that they will not disturb the tranquility of the village.” situ enchanting didn’t intend to give so much, but he changed his mind looking at the people in the village.
“A thousand liang? That’s too much. Where are the peaches in our village worth so much silver?” the old village head was terrified. Situ was enchanting and smiled: “In my eyes, the peaches in this village are worth so much. These peaches are also very important to me. So as long as the old village head can promise, I will give you the silver for one year first. After five years, I will give you the remaining nine years together.” situ enchanting looked at the people and said.
The old village head heard the speech, thought about it and nodded: “yes, but you have to wait. We plan to move out temporarily. If we can come back in the future, then the business will be done. If the peach tree is gone, the people in our village will be unlucky.”
“OK, it’s a deal.” situ said enchanting.
Seeing situ enchanting and talkative, the old village head also smiled. His gray hair was dazzling in the sun. He said, “lengzi! Hurry, go and inform the people in the village that there are distinguished guests in our village. Have a banquet tonight! Have a banquet!”
“Ah! OK!” the big man ran out excitedly.
After the big man left, the old village head looked at situ enchanting: “this noble man, I don’t think our village can survive. You look like an important person. That’s why I told you.”
“Please, old village head,” situ said enchanting.
“In fact, the reason why our nearby village is here is also because the Imperial Palace was built in those years. We are all descendants of those craftsmen in those years.”
“What?” situ was enchanting and surprised.
“Since ancient times, the craftsmen who built imperial palaces and Huangling tombs were all dead. Because the royal family didn’t want to let the news out. Over time, the craftsmen began to find ways to survive. They wanted to escape the fate of being buried alive.
There are eight villages near the imperial city. The earliest of these eight villages were those craftsmen. Because of the kindness of the ancestor emperor, he ordered them to build tunnels and let them guard here forever.
Thousands of years have passed. Although our ancestors are gone, we still keep it here. And this secret is only known to every generation of village heads. Before, those people came fiercely for this tunnel address. ” The old man looked tired when he said this. Situ was enchanting and shocked at his speech. Unexpectedly, there were so many secrets in this seemingly invincible small village.
If the tunnel is leaked out, isn’t the imperial palace the most dangerous place? The old man said that officers and soldiers came here before, doesn’t it mean that the prince is going to rebel?
Thinking of this, situ was enchanting and couldn’t sit still.
“Hey… I’m an old bone. I didn’t expect to experience this. I really hope I can stay here in the future,” said the old village head. Situ was enchanting and smiled: “be at ease. You will be here all your life. Your descendants can do the same. I promise you.”
“Thank you very much,” said the old village head.
“The village head is a smart man. When I return to the capital tomorrow, I will naturally tell these words to the people who should listen to them. And the village head, as long as I take refuge in peace of mind and come back to do business with me when everything is over.” situ enchanting admires the old village head very much. After all, no one will care about the life and death of the people in the Imperial City in a dangerous time.
“Hey! Thank you, thank you!” the old village head said, and then said, “gentlemen, go in and have a rest. My old man also went to see the people in the village.” the village head said and went out.
“Do you believe his words?” Luo qiushen frowned at situ’s enchanting.
Situ was enchanting and turned to look at him: “Why don’t you believe it? The old village head didn’t mean any harm. In addition, the old village head was only thinking about the village. Now he just hopes to make the village exist longer. If I don’t come, he won’t say. I came here by accident, and he met me by accident. If he has to be suspicious of everything, it’s too tired.”
“But people can’t guarantee that their guess is right. If they are cheated?” the man frowned.
“That’s why I don’t know people clearly.” situ enchanting said. The man was stunned when he heard the speech.
Situ looked at him enchanting and smiled: “What? I’m surprised? It’s actually very simple. You trust others and relax yourself. But you also take the risk of being betrayed. However, as long as you don’t know people clearly, most of this trust will be rewarded. Luo qiushen, you are the young master of the Luo family. You are born high above the top, and the Luo family are businessmen. I want to teach you the first thing , maybe just don’t be cheated? But in my opinion, sometimes it’s better to be cheated once. You have what you want, even if you are cheated. At most, some people think that you don’t know people clearly and are a little stupid. But it’s hard to be confused. Why should you be too smart to live with yourself? ”
“Your words are true, but who can do it?” Luo Qiu sighed deeply.
“If you can’t do it, you should always try, shouldn’t you? At least, I tried.” situ enchanting said, and then went into the room and sat down in a chair to close your eyes. Luo qiushen looked at the leisurely look of the woman, and suddenly had a glimmer of expectation in her heart. If you are like this, can you act recklessly like her? If you can, it’s a good thing to be cheated.
Thinking, the man closed his eyes and imitated situ’s enchanting appearance.
