The county magistrate saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and quickly expressed his determination again.
"Today is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! If you think the price is not appropriate, we can discuss it again. It doesn't matter if you don't want to sell. I won't buy it. I really won't buy it!"
The villagers' faces became a little better, but they were released. Even if they don't, who knows if he will try his best to bully them again after getting out of trouble.
After all, this is their territory, and it's not easy for their little arms to twist their thighs.
At this time, the boy who ran to report the news unexpectedly arrived with more than a dozen police officers.
Seeing their yamen being tied up into rice dumplings from a distance, the police officers immediately drew out their swords and ran over shouting.
"Untouchables, let go of our yamen and spare your life!"
The villagers who were hesitating just now quickly picked up the hatchets, some blocked them in front, and some even picked up the county magistrate and put the knife to his neck. superior.
The county magistrate was so angry that he almost vomited blood and hated these police officers to death.
They didn't show up when they were supposed to show up, but they jumped out when they weren't supposed to show up!
He pulled his neck anxiously and shouted, "Stay back, don't come up!"
The police officers were a little confused, and the leader of the team shouted, "Sir, are you being threatened? Don't be afraid, my lord has already Got it, I'll be here soon!"
The county magistrate wanted to bite him a few times, but it was already too late.
Two dusty carriages came running from a distance, with Wen Hai and Sister-in-law Qiong sitting on the carriage shafts.
Apparently it was Sister-in-law Qiong who went to invite foreign aid and met Mr. Wen who was rushing back.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage arrived.
Mr. Wen opened the door and jumped down, shouting loudly.
"Who is plundering and oppressing the people in broad daylight? Is there no royal law anymore? It is an honor for the people of Jiangnan that the emperor moved the capital here. Who dares to offend the emperor's majesty and ignore the majesty of the court?"
He glared, looking upright, " Let's go to Kyoto and follow me to the emperor to have a good talk! Is the world the emperor's or the Jiangnan family's? I really think of myself as a local emperor, I'm afraid I don't know how hard my neck is!"
This big hat After being detained, the county magistrate was completely heartbroken, and the head catcher was also confused.
Aren't the untouchables the ones below who commit the crime? Why does it involve the Jiangnan wealthy family offending the imperial authority and disobeying the imperial court?
Mr. Wen doesn't care about this. He has made up his mind not to study in the Hanlin Academy. Today is a perfect opportunity.
To expose the dissatisfaction of the local wealthy families in Jiangnan with the imperial court, he would not hesitate to be the sharp sword of the new imperial court.
If he wants to gain power, he must be useful to the emperor and the newly settled court!
He turned around and looked at a middle-aged man in official robes, "Brother Zhou, I want to return to Xindu again, and I'll leave this place to you."
The middle-aged official looked at the hot spring waterfall, his eyes shining. Impatient with these trivial matters, I quickly agreed upon hearing this and went straight to the waterfall.
"Such a hot spring is really rare. Hurry up and get the water to check. Is the sulfur smell strong? I don't think you need to build a fully covered canal to divert the water. It's so hot that there is no need to worry about heat dissipation."
The middle-aged official ordered the people following him as he walked. Soon they dispersed and got busy, and some even climbed up the cliff to check the source of the spring water.
Mr. Wen looked at Mrs. Cui, "Junior sister, help the village entertain Mr. Zhou and others."
"Okay, senior brother, go ahead. If you need help, go to Uncle Liu." Mrs. Cui agreed, and went to the waterfall with Jiayin in her arms.
Mr. Wen felt relieved and called to the village chief and Li Laosi, "Uncle Village Chief, Lao Si, I want to take these people back to Xindu, and I'm afraid I'll bother you to follow them. If it works this time, I'll do it again in the future." No one dares to snatch your broken gold beach!"
The village chief responded, "If Mr. Wen doesn't come, we are planning to go to Xindu to file a complaint. This guy said that the whole world is his family's territory, and the land deed and the land given to us by the court are The road guides are not easy to use. This is simply to be a local emperor!"
Mr. Wen became more and more happy after hearing this. "Okay, uncle, remember this. When you get to the city, everyone will tell you this."
After that, he said He called Jiaren, "Let's go to the city together and take you to see the market."
Soon, the county magistrate, whose face was as gray as ashes, was thrown into the carriage. He knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so he could only shout loudly for arrest. The head catcher said, "Go back to my father and report the news!"
"Oh, oh!" The head catcher also knew that he was in trouble, so he turned around and ran away.
Mr. Wen didn't say anything, and the villagers didn't stop him.
The village chief, Li Laosi, Li Laoer, Jiaren and others, escorted the county magistrate and a few losers, got into the carriage, and followed Mr. Wen into the city again.
The villagers looked at the shadow of the carriage from a distance, feeling worried but happy.
This is the county magistrate's son. In the past, when they saw him in Junyang, they would all kowtow in fear when they saw him.
Now that they have picked up a hatchet and resisted, not only will they be fine, but the county magistrate's son and even the county magistrate will be in trouble.
Sure enough, it is useless to be timid and give in. Whenever you want to be reasonable, you must straighten your back and fight back!
It has to be said that in the years to come, Broken Gold Beach, which has become famous for hundreds of miles around, because of today's incident, has completely established their village custom of being reasonable in everything and never being bullied!
People from various villages who were watching the excitement from a distance were scared away when they saw the policeman. They did not dare to stay any longer and dispersed with a blast.
Uncle Zhao and the others came out, organized the villagers to assign manpower to patrol and guard, and also to give a blow to the officials who were busy around the hot spring.
Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and watched with interest as Master Zhou poured spring water into a complicated wooden vessel that he couldn't understand.
Then I heard him shouting excitedly, "It's really good. Taking a bath in this spring water will definitely strengthen your body."
The villagers were curious and asked in a low voice, "Sir, this spring water is good, then we can build a hot spring village. ?" "
Of course," Mr. Zhou had an easy-going temper and agreed, even jokingly, "I will draw a picture in a while, and you just need to follow it and build it. In less than a month, this place will become a fairyland on earth. When the time comes, I will come to visit and spend a few days enjoying it."
Everyone was happy to hear this, and Uncle Zhao loudly ordered the women, "Take out all the good things at home and entertain the adults for a simple meal at noon. Don't let the adults We are tired and hungry."
Mr. Zhou waved his hands and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you eat, but I want to thank everyone for their trust. If such a good place is built in the future, I will follow suit and my face will be bright."
" Sir, feel free to come and play when the time comes, but we won't take any money from you."
Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively for a while.
Jiayin is even more curious about how much money it will cost to build a hot spring villa.
But she is a child, so it is not easy to ask.
Fortunately, Biao Liu was still sober and did not get dizzy with joy like the rest of the villagers.
He stepped forward to salute and asked, "Sir, if this hot spring is to be used according to your idea, and Zhuangzi has to build a similar one, how much money will it cost?"
Mr. Zhou thought for a while, and then looked at the ordinary people. He hesitated and replied, "At least a thousand taels."
A thousand taels!
The villagers gasped when they heard this. It was too expensive. I'm afraid that even if all the money is added up, it's not even half of it.
