"Old Master Han?"
Hearing County Magistrate Wang address Han Tianhu in such a respectful manner, Liu Shiren's heart sank even more!
Obviously, County Magistrate Wang knew Han Tianhu's identity. Then, County Magistrate Wang would be even less likely to help him!
Heaven really wanted to destroy him!
"County Magistrate Wang, this Liu Shiren was the landlord of the manor that I previously lived in. He and his son usually relied on their status to run rampant in the village, causing the local people to boil with anger. Later, the villagers couldn't bear it anymore and joined forces to drive them out of the manor. I didn't expect that they would escape here!"
Han Li cupped his hands and said to County Magistrate Wang.
"Hmm? There's such a thing? "
County Magistrate Wang didn't suspect him. He squinted his eyes and turned to look at Liu Shiren. His expression instantly turned cold.
Liu Shiren's legs went soft and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground. "County Magistrate, I'm innocent, I'm innocent! I did do a lot of evil in the past, but ever since I came to Yifang County, I've been abiding by the law and doing good deeds! I beg County Magistrate for your judgment! "
The two men who had followed Liu Shiren out earlier saw that Liu Shiren had knelt down and begged for mercy before they could even say a few words. They couldn't help but shudder with fear as they looked at Han Tianhu, secretly praying that the other party wouldn't find trouble with them!
"Hmph! Zhao Hu! "
County Magistrate Wang snorted and shouted.
"Yes!"
"Quickly go to the village and ask the villagers if Liu Shiren bullied them or did anything illegal!"
"Yes! Sir! "
The yamen runner hurriedly left to carry out the order.
Liu Shiren, who was kneeling on the ground, turned even paler. He hurriedly raised his head and begged for mercy.
"Don't, don't, don't! Don't investigate, County Magistrate, I plead guilty! I plead guilty! I shouldn't have bullied the villagers and taken advantage of them. I beg County Magistrate to be lenient! "
Now that the enemy was at his doorstep, even if he did not take the initiative to confess, Wang Chengxing would still punish him for his crimes after he learned the truth from the people. Furthermore, his crimes would be even more severe. Rather than that, he might as well take the initiative to confess. At that time, he could still ask for "leniency."
"Hmm? Bastard! You actually dare to force yourself on a common woman? Guards, take Liu Shiren back to the county yamen immediately and bring him back to the manor. Rescue the woman he raped! "
Wang Chengxing was furious when he heard this. How could such a thing happen under his rule? It might even affect the annual official assessment of the Ministry of Personnel!
"Yes!"
Two bailiffs stepped forward and easily captured Liu Shiren. The other two bailiffs rushed into the manor and soon came out with two slender, delicate, and pretty girls. Seeing this, Wang Chengxing was even more enraged. He cupped his hands to Han Tianhu and said, "Brother Han Tianhu, please forgive me for my insolence.
"Old Master Han, I still have some work to do in the county yamen, so I won't accompany you any longer. You can talk to the two of them slowly. When you're done, you can go to the county yamen to register!"
Han Tianhu nodded and said, "County Magistrate Wang, please go ahead. Official business is more important. I have nothing for you to worry about!"
Wang Chengxing nodded. He turned around and waved at the surrounding bailiffs. The group of people left in a hurry.
"Father! Father! Someone kidnapped your concubine! "
At this time, Liu Haojian's shout came from the yard.
Was this child still living in a dream? Only now did he realize it!
…
"Old Master Zhang, Old Master Sun, are you willing to sell the land in Nanping Village and Kaiyang Village?"
After Wang Chengxing left, Han Tianhu had to bring the other two landlords to the willow tree at the entrance of Willow Village and began to discuss the matter of buying land.
Old Master Zhang and Old Master Sun looked at each other and quickly nodded at the same time, "Yes, yes!"
Although they did not know Han Tianhu's identity, based on County Magistrate Wang's attitude just now, Han Tianhu's identity was definitely not ordinary. Moreover, Liu Shiren was taken back to the county yamen for questioning after a few words. This made Old Master Zhang and Old Master Sun tremble with fear. They were afraid that they would be arrested as well. After all, which one of them had not done one or two bad things? They would not be able to withstand an investigation!
Han Tianhu asked again, "Then how much do the two masters intend to ask for?"
"Whatever you say!"
Old Master Sun and Old Master Zhang almost did not think and immediately replied.
Han Tianhu was speechless for a while. At this time, he also saw that the two were frightened by the scene just now, so he could not help but say, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Wang is honest and upright. As long as you have not done anything against the law, he will not trouble you for no reason!"
When the two heard this, they could not help but smile bitterly in their hearts, "Aren't you talking nonsense? If we really have a clear conscience, why would we be so afraid of you? "
"Old Master Han is right! County Magistrate Wang is a good official! "
Old Master Zhang sighed with embarrassment and then said, "To be honest, Old Master Sun and my ancestral home is in Bingzhou. Recently, we plan to move back, so we are anxious to sell the land here. So, if Old Master Han really wants it, the price is all negotiable!"
In order to slip away as soon as possible, this old man just opened his mouth and lied.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's right, that's right! If Old Master Han really wants it, we can negotiate the price. Please name a price first! "
Old Master Sun's eyes lit up and quickly agreed.
Han Tianhu frowned and looked at the two suspiciously, then said, "As far as this old man knows, Nanping Village and Kaiyang Village have a total of four thousand mu of fertile land. I wonder if Old Master Zhang and Old Master Sun are willing to buy all the land at once for 20 strings of coins per mu of land?"
This price was not high for Tang Chu during this period of time, but it was also not low. It could be considered a relatively fair price.
"Yes, yes!"
"Tomorrow, this old man will take the land deed and follow Old Master Han to the county office to register and handover!"
As soon as his voice fell, the two rich old men immediately agreed.
…
"Hey! Little Ke, so much money, and you just put it in the dormitory? "
Yanhuang College.
Cheng Chumo, Sun Zifan, Yuchi Baolin, Zhangsun Chong, and the others had just helped Li Tai move the copper coins and had to help Li Ke. Cheng Chumo was a little confused. What did these two brothers mean? Did they like to pile up copper coins in the dormitory to show off their wealth? Were they kidding?
Li Ke was carrying a big box alone and replied, "If not in the dormitory, where should I put it? Back to the palace? Then when the academy needs money in the future, I will go back to Chang 'an to get money? How troublesome! "
The academy's food expenses were not cheap for the students who lived in luxury. Although Li Ke had just put four hundred strings of coins in the dormitory, it was estimated that it was only enough for two to three months. Therefore, he chose to put the scholarship of four hundred strings of coins directly in the dormitory.
