Wang Yuanwai nodded, picked up the tea on the table, and calmed down the mood he had just been frightened by the old man of the Zhou family: "I know, you Zhou Dagu are rich, you have no worries about food and drink!"
"These people outside are different from you! If you study and become a scholar, you can get rid of your military household registration and leave Cai County!"
"You can leave. The rest of the Zhou family are just idiots, but if you don't have this ability, you will have a military household registration for one day and a military household registration for the rest of your life!"
"They can only throw food in the dirt for the rest of their lives! Can you control them for the rest of their lives?"
The moon comes out from the west.
The moonlight shone in the room, and I wanted to see the excitement.
Wang Yuanwai couldn't understand why the old man of the Zhou family had always been like a pig and a dog, wagging his tail in front of him and begging for mercy. Why was he suddenly so tough now!
However, he doesn't need to think about these problems.
Forget it if a common man disobeys!
He is not a member of the royal family, he is from Zhencai County!
It is Mr. Wang who has countless gold and silver and covers half of Cai County. There is no reason why he should not get the girl he wants!
Zhou Dagu stood up and took a step to the left, only to find that everyone's eyes outside the door were focused on him.
In the eyes of the people outside the door, the originally unimportant young man suddenly took control of their lives, and they were helpless.
"Da Gu, otherwise you just agree to Yuan Wang!"
"Yes! Yuan's family's conditions are not bad, and you won't have to endure hardships if you marry her!"
Zhou Dagu was not sad to hear what they said. For thousands of years, people have always been like this. They are kind and treacherous, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!
"It's useless for you to beg me! The land belongs to Wang Yuan's family, and it's useless for you to beg Yuan Wang!"
"Don't you dare!"
"Afraid? Afraid of Mr. Wang?"
Mr. Wang leaned back on his chair proudly: "Wang always does things decently, how can you say you are afraid!"
Zhou Dagu nodded: "That's right. Members are not domineering in their actions. They are definitely not afraid of your character, but they are afraid of your family!"
"Don't be afraid of this!"
The moon shines outside the window.
But the moon was covered by a layer of mist, and there was more and more mist in the sky. Some people with good noses in the crowd exclaimed.
"Smells so good like wheat? No, where is the grain that was burned!"
"Look outside, look there! There's such a big fire there!"
"It's so dry, which family is so careless?" Wang Yuanwai looked at the fire in the distance and gloated.
The Wang family butler stood behind him, frowning at the fire in the distance: "Master, that place looks like our granary!"
"That's right, it's our family's granary. I arranged that place myself!"
"Master, it's our house that's on fire!"
"What?" Wang Yuanwai jumped up from his chair and looked at the servants outside: "Why are you still standing? Our house is on fire. Hurry... go back and put out the fire!"
The old housekeeper led the servants and ran outside. The king, who was huge, could only stand there and sighed anxiously: "What can I do? The food is all allowed to go out. If I can't hand over the food, isn't it the end of me!"
Zhou Dagu sat on the chair and kept smiling: "Wang Yuanwai, don't worry. Wangjia Village is a few miles away from our Zhoujia Village. Wait for them to run back. The fire has already burned all the food!"
"Since it won't help, why worry?" Zhou Dagu was very good at persuading people.
"Could it be that all the grain of the Wang family this year is there? That's really bad. After all, the Wang family is a grain merchant. I heard that they have collected a lot of deposits. If they can't hand over the grain, isn't it ruined?"
The eyes of those watching the excitement outside the door fell on Zhou Dagu, and then on Wang Yuanwai.
If the Wang family goes bankrupt, their land will definitely be returned to their creditors. What's the point of not letting them farm it when the time comes?
If the real estate is changed to the owner, the owner will reduce the rent in order to stabilize the tenants!
Seeing Yuan Wang gain momentum, people's minds changed again.
"Just by burning some food, can the Wang family be ruined?"
"Some? My brother-in-law went to help the Wang family a few days ago. I heard that in order to curry favor with a certain big shot, their family took out all the food in the house and put it together, just to make it easier to transport it away!"
"All the food? You darling! The Wang family is a grain merchant. All the food is gone. How can their family still have money?"
"It's good that we have no money! We have no money and Wang Yuanwai can no longer bully me!"
"Shut up! Who said it, who said it!" Wang Yuanwai stood up from the main room and looked at the people outside who were furious and the food was on fire. His forehead was also furious.
In order to take Zhou Youran away, he took away most of his family members.
Who knew that the granary would catch fire when the manpower was empty!
"My Wang family is powerful, but even if a small fire burns all the food in the family, I can still make a comeback!"
Wang Yuanwai glanced at everyone present: "Don't forget how I started my business!"
Zhou Dagu said in confusion: "Huh? I'm young, I really don't know how Yuanwai started his career!"
"Zhou Dagu! It's you. I now suspect that you are the one who set fire to my grain depot!"
"Wang Yuanwai, please don't accuse me unjustly. Our family has been surrounded by your servants all day today. How can I have time to run out and burn your family's grain depot! I am a scholar! I will not do such a thing!"
Wang Yuanwai watched the fire in the field getting brighter and brighter: "No way, the grain depot can't burn so fast, it must be the kerosene used! You and I have the deepest hatred, who else besides you?"
Zhou Dagu spread his hands in aggrieved manner: "Master Yuanwai, you can't doubt anyone if you doubt me. I am a poor scholar, how can I get so much money to burn your family's grain depot!"
“There is kerosene in my granary!”
"I haven't been to your house either, so how do I know where your grain depot is?"
Wang Yuanwai suddenly realized: "They know, those three guys know, you betrayed them, and also betrayed this old boy, you really think you can deal with me like this!"
Zhou Dagu retreated aggrievedly: "Everyone knows that I am a scholar, and I want to be a gentleman. How could I be so wronged by a foreign minister? How could I know those strategies!"
The third grandfather of the Zhou family nodded seriously: "Da Gu is a good son of mine, I'm sure he doesn't have such scheming intentions!"
Wang Yuanwai became angry and said: "Old man, shut up!"
"Hmph! Now that our grain depot has been burned down and your Wang family is about to be ruined, how dare you say that to me?"
Zhou Dagu smiled, this step to remove the power of the king has been successful!
Wang Yuanwai took a step forward: "I want your life!"
He was originally in the fourth level and second level, but now even though his body is suffering, his skill has never diminished!
One hand turned into a claw, and the claws roared like a tiger.
"Touch!" Wang Yuan's sharp claw fell, but was blocked by a long knife.
Lieutenant Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at him sideways: "Commissioner, please don't make the mistake of killing someone in front of me. You don't take the law seriously!"
Wang Yuanwai took a step back, smiled, and stepped forward to take out the gold in his arms: "Yes, yes, your Zhang family knows our family's heritage best!"
"It's just that the grain depot is burned down, but my Wang family will not be ruined. Please ask the county captain to lead people to capture these fire-proof thieves!"
County Lieutenant Zhang turned around and the ingot of gold fell to the ground: "As a county lieutenant, I naturally have to abide by the law. How dare you bribe me!"
"Come here, capture the thief Wang Yuanwai!"
Wang Yuanwai's eyes widened and he roared in disbelief: "Zhang Laoer, how dare you bully me like this!"
"Come on, take it down!" Lieutenant Zhang said in a serious tone.
Two teams of policemen came outside the door, and the two leaders turned out to be the heads of the two teams.
Wang Yuanwai took a step back and sat on the chair, and then he realized: "It turns out that you... you are in the same group!"
"Ha! Hahaha! I am the only one named Wang in this room!"
"Zhang Laoer, remember, my plot is not just Cai County, your brother will personally let me out tomorrow!"
"You will get me out of prison!"
Two squads of arresters took Wang Yuanwai away.
When he came, he rode in a sedan chair, and when he left, he rode in a prison car.
No one thought that Wang Yuanwai would end up like this just for a visit to Zhou's house.
Captain Zhang no longer dared to look down on Zhou Dagu at this moment, and bowed his head: "Since there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
Zhou Dagu smiled and nodded: "After the students take the county exam, they will go to the county government office to visit the registrar!"
"Brother said, there is no rush. I just hope that Zhouda Mansion will prepare well for the county examination, strive to get a case certificate, and go to Qingxue Mansion to take the Juren Examination today!"
This is the deal Zhou Dagu made with Master Zhang!
Cai County has not held an election for several years!
Xiangzhou itself has a strong martial arts style, and in Cai County, which is close to Yumen Pass, no one is studying. After all, who has the heart to study, and life is the most important thing.
The academic style is not strong and the number of students in the county school is small.
Even Zhu Fuzi, who studied in the county school, had no choice but to set up a private school in order to make a living.
However, the appearance of Zhou Dagu gave Master Zhang hope. If Zhou Dagu can win the case, he can pass the exam this year!
Chief Zhang, who is in charge of education, has been confirmed to take over as county magistrate. He might even be able to compete for the position of county magistrate!
Zhou Dagu grasped this point and when he went to the county jail yesterday, he found Master Zhang and made a small deal.
This is called taking the fuel out of the cauldron!
Wang Yuanwai's biggest support in Cai County is Master Zhang, so he will take away this support.
First cut off the edge, then cut off the support, and then...
County Lieutenant Zhang took a step forward and was about to go out, then suddenly turned back: "Recently, you'd better move to Master Zhu's place!"
"Wang Yuanwai is right, there is someone above him, we can't hold him for long!"
"When he comes out, he will definitely seek revenge on you!"
