Mulberry Town.
Zhao Yunlin specially arranged it for this signing, and there was a lot of white money piled on the signing table next to it, which was extremely tempting.
But at this moment, his face was extremely gloomy.
It was already late, but the scene was sparse, and there were not a few silkworm farmers in sight, and most of them were just waiting and watching.
Chen Musen on the side also looked livid, "These thieves are simply going against the grain."
Zhao Yunlin said coldly: "Chang Li, if the silkworm farmers want to set up a silkworm farmer association, don't you even care about it?"
Although the association is beneficial to Buzhuang, the leader is the Su family. If anything happens, it is definitely not what Zhao Yunlin wants to see if the three major Buzhuangs are squeezed out.
Even if this point is put aside, the price of silkworm cocoons will be in the hands of the Su family in the future, which is even more unacceptable, so...
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, they are just a bunch of rabble-rousers with their own delusions."
Chen Musen's eyes were full of disdain, "Chen has already reported it. I believe people from the Yamen are already on the way. That uncle of the Su family made him rampant and a great talent. Now he is dead."
Chen Musen is very confident because there are people behind him.
The benefits in this are beyond what he, a village chief, can capture. Behind him are many officials, gentry and squires. The other party is poking a hornet's nest and seeking death.
Zhao Yunlin smiled coldly, "If we wait any longer, I'm afraid everyone will run away."
"That's right! Let's arrest him first. This son of a bitch wants to ruin our brothers' jobs. We can't take advantage of him."
"right!"
Several minions behind Chen Musen shouted.
"good!"
Chen Musen couldn't help it anymore and raised his arms, "Follow me to arrest people in Weijia Village."
The group of people immediately headed towards Weijiacun in a mighty manner.
Weijia Village.
At this moment, Su Lingyue couldn't sit still, "Brother-in-law, are we just going to wait like this?"
According to the little girl's idea, of course she wanted to do something big. Since she was going to set up some kind of silkworm farmers' association, why sit at home?
Moreover, Wei Jin had just come to report, and silkworm farmers from all over the country responded positively, and many people were rushing to Sangye Town.
She couldn't sit still even more.
Lin Bai rolled his eyes at her, "Wait patiently and see if anyone comes to cause trouble."
"Uncle, will someone come to cause trouble?"
Zhuiyue said worriedly.
Just as he was talking, Wei Jin ran in again, "Brother Lin, the chief and others are here with their men, threatening to arrest you."
"They dare!"
The little girl stood up immediately.
Zhuiyue didn’t agree either.
Wei Jin quickly said: "Second Miss, please don't worry. Before Wei finished speaking, they were here, but before they entered Weijia Village, they were driven back by the next village."
"Not only that, the roads leading to Weijia Village are blocked by villagers from other villages, so no one can get in."
Su Lingyue asked puzzledly: "Why block it?"
Zhuiyue said: "Second Miss, they are protecting my uncle, they are afraid that someone will do harm to my uncle."
These are the simplest silkworm farmers. As long as someone treats them sincerely, they will repay it tenfold, regardless of the consequences.
Lin Bai was a little touched, but this was not enough, and he quickly told him: "Forget it, the mayor, he has no right to arrest people. If someone comes from the Yamen, please don't cause trouble."
This is no fun.
Lin Bai just wanted to win some benefits for the silkworm farmers. If even the people from the yamen were driven away, it would be a big deal.
Wei Jin is not stupid either. "Brother Lin, don't worry. Wei has already explained that they know the seriousness. I will go and see it myself now."
"Brother-in-law, what if someone comes from the Yamen?"
After Wei Jin left, the little girl couldn't help but ask.
Lin Bai shrugged, "What else can I do? Just go with them."
Zhuiyue asked with concern: "Will something happen?"
Lin Bai said: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, and my uncle didn't do anything. He will be detained for a few days at most, but in that case, the matter will probably not be accomplished."
The reason why the time is set on the third day is also due to this concern.
This is the feudal era, so we can't be too aggressive.
With two days as a buffer, it is also good to see if any of those officials really want to do things for the people. If so, then give it a try.
If not, stop immediately.
It's impossible to be tough. It doesn't taste good to eat soft rice, so why seek death.
Time goes by like this.
Until sunset, no one from the yamen was seen.
The little girl couldn't wait to ask: "Does the absence of anyone from the Yamen mean that they don't care? Is the Silkworm Farmers Association going to succeed?"
Chaiyue also looked at it expectantly.
"What are you thinking about!"
Lin Bai curled his lips and said, "However, this shows that someone is supporting us, which is good news, but whether it will happen or not depends on tomorrow."
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the yamen is too lazy to bother and just waits to arrest people directly tomorrow. If that is the case, it will be a bit difficult to handle.
And this was what Lin Bai was most worried about.
If someone from the Yamen comes today, the matter will end early and be over.
But tomorrow, the third day, there will be so many silkworm farmers, who knows what will happen by then. If one of them is not good, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
never mind! This is already the case.
For my wife's big plan and for the silkworm farmers, I gave it a try and turned my bicycle into a motorcycle.
…
That night.
In a house, Chen Musen was bowing, and sitting on the Grand Master's chair in front of him was Chen Yongfeng, the magistrate of Fuguo County.
In addition, there are some local rural gentlemen and families, all of whom are full of fat heads.
"Master Chen, why haven't the Yamen arrested anyone yet?"
someone asked.
"That's right! These unscrupulous people are so audacious that they must be caught and given some authority."
Everyone was filled with indignation.
Chen Yongfeng sighed and said, "She is the daughter of the magistrate. She went to the Yamen to make trouble today, saying that Lin Qingfeng is hers."
What?
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
"What do you mean, Mr. Chen? Is this what the prefect meant?"
"Don't be so nervous."
Chen Yongfeng reassured, "This county has already asked Master Shangfang. This matter is not Master Qin's intention, but is just Miss Qin's personal behavior."
"However, despite this, Miss Qin must give her face."
Everyone frowned, and someone asked: "Then what should we do? Should we just leave it alone?"
This is not possible. If the Sericulture Farmers Association is established, they will gain nothing.
"Of course it's impossible."
Chen Yongfeng said, "Miss Qin may just have a whim, and she may not be there tomorrow. We will do whatever we have to do."
"It doesn't matter even if she is present, someone will naturally come forward."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qin Kexin was the prefect's daughter, as long as it was not the prefect's intention, it would not matter much to a rich lady without an official status.
What's more, even the prefect cannot cover the sky with one hand, and cannot insist on going his own way regardless of the opposition of all officials.
There is more than just the prefect in Jiangzhou.
The local officials, big and small, have been operating with the gentry and families in various townships for countless years, and their interests are intertwined and they have long been integrated.
"That's very good. We will arrest them directly tomorrow and completely crush their illusions in front of these unscrupulous people, so as to save them from overthinking."
