That night, the temporary stewards elected by the three surrounding salt farm workers gathered at Kuancha.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that the imperial court only gave them so little food and would not let them leave the salt field.
The reactions of the few young people who followed him were similar to Wang Zhuer's.
But after Lao Zhengtou murmured to everyone, everyone finally calmed down.
Among them, an old man with a white beard from Anfengchang said: "Ms. Xu, if Hailing County sends someone else, it is absolutely impossible for us to agree to this condition. We are all raised by our parents, why should we give this little food? Let us go hungry without going out to find food?”
"There is no such thing as this in this world!"
"However, everything last time was completely reversed by Xianggong Xu, so that everyone would not really go down that dead end! Therefore, we still keep this favor in our hearts!"
Xu He quickly stood up and said to the people around him: "Xu doesn't dare to take credit for what happened last time. In the salt field, it was the face of Uncle Zheng and everyone else. In the court, it was the love and compassion of Zhang Bingxian and County Magistrate Chen." , I’m just mediating, it’s nothing!”
"Hmph, what a compassionate person, what a mediator!" Suddenly, a tall man with a Chinese character face next to the white-bearded old man sneered.
Xu He took a look and found out that he was Liang Duo's manager.
The big man with a Chinese character said: "We have had dozens of battles in Lianghuai, and no one has done anything wrong. We were the only ones in Liangduo who were rushed by officers and soldiers. More than a hundred men, women, and children were arrested. Up to now, more than forty people have been imprisoned." Yangzhou Prefecture, what do you say about this account?"
The white-bearded old man frowned and said: "Hou Si, why are you raising this account at this time? The people in Liangduo were arrested, and you know better than us why."
It was better not to say this. As soon as he said it, the Chinese-character face immediately slapped the case and said: "What? The monster from the White Lotus Sect handed out pancakes, and the three of you on the scene didn't go to get them? If you have the ability, spit it out now! Oh~~~ ~”
He sneered and said: "If something goes wrong, it's us Liangduo people who hold the vat. If nothing happens, you come and eat and drink for free!"
Everyone present in the other three scenes blushed at what he said.
Indeed, everyone's life is hard. I heard that there are people who stutter. No matter what white lotus or black lotus, young people from several fields will sneak away to Liangduo at night as soon as they hear the preaching.
Now that people are taking the opportunity to make trouble, no one really has the nerve to say anything for a while.
Seeing this, Xu He knew that after dealing with the thick black man named Hou Si today, he probably couldn't continue the matter.
He stood up and said seriously: "This Fourth Master Hou is here to invite you! Let me ask, who introduced the White Lotus Sect to Liangduo?"
"Also, if you think Liang Duo has been wronged, fine, you name the culprit. Except for the culprit, I will find a way to get them out of the rest!"
Qiu Hushu tugged at Xu He's lapel, as if to say: "How can you guarantee this kind of thing? Those people are all demons from evil cults. Not to mention you, even the county magistrate will do it." I can’t ask the superiors to let me go!”
However, Xu He didn't care about Qiu Hushu's little moves, he just stared at the big man with his usual expression.
After hearing this, Hou Si struggled for a long time, and discussed with the people behind him for a long time, and then said harshly: "There is no one who is the culprit. Those people came to Liangduo to preach on their own, and no one invited them. How can there be any culprit!"
Xu He smiled: "That's wrong. Those monsters from the White Lotus Sect will never fail to respond. Let's set up a shop in the open space and practice stalls at night!"
People in the other three scenes all laughed after hearing this.
Yes, you, Hou Si, said that no one responded, so these people are not monkey tricks, beating gongs and drums to gain popularity, right?
Xu He was sure that Hou Si would never name the culprit, so he deliberately asked the question.
Why?
Because Hou Si wanted to lead Liang Duo's team, it was impossible to name the culprit.
So why did Xu He use this to block his mouth?
Because negotiation is a matter of rhythm. If you rob me of food or people, if Xu He bargains with Hou Si, it will be endless.
So Xu He opens up a new battlefield, okay, you want to fish out people. For such a big thing, even a pig knows that it is impossible to fish out everyone. So who do you want the court to let go?
Hou Si stopped eating. After hesitating for a long time, he simply said, "We in Liangduo don't care. They are all salt households anyway. Let them all go!"
When Xu He heard this, he slapped the table and glared at Hou Si angrily.
Everyone was shocked by his actions.
Xu He said seriously: "Fourth Master Hou, I am a junior, so I respectfully call you Fourth Master Hou. But if you think that I am young and can be bullied, then there is nothing to say, so please!"
How could Hou Si have imagined that Xu He, with his cheerful and smiling face, would suddenly choose to be tough?
What he did this was because, firstly, the relatives of the arrested Zao Ding were making trouble with him every day, and secondly, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and get more food back.
But Xu He flipped the table directly, which he never expected.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense. The young people in Liangduo glared at Xu He fiercely, as if they were about to tear him apart in the next life.
As for the three-class government officials who followed, they were so frightened that their calves were spinning.
Qiu Hushu was relatively good. He quickly said with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient and patient. Everything can be easily discussed!"
But the salt farm was not under local control. He, a household secretary who was used to being prestigious in Hailing Township, suddenly no one agreed with him.
At this moment, Lao Zheng knocked his head on the table and yelled at the young people in Liangduo: "What are you doing? Do you want to do something here? Get out of here, you bastards!"
The ten fields in Huaizhong are connected by the same spirit, and all the fields are related to each other.
Lao Zhengtou had a high prestige in these ten games. The group of young people had been scolded. Although they had not retreated, their momentum had already weakened by two points.
Old Zheng got angry, patted the table and said, "What? Is it useless for me to say anything?"
Hou Si was also his junior. When he heard this, he gritted his teeth and said to the group of juniors behind him: "You guys get out first!"
Upon seeing this, Lao Zhengtou issued an expulsion order against all irrelevant persons present.
In the end, only the four representatives and Xu He were left in the room.
Now that people are gone, things are easier to talk about.
Xu He said: "There is only so much food now. We all know the situation of each salt farm and distribute it proportionally. There are many people in Anfeng and Zongcha. We will receive more food this time and less in the other two!"
Hou Si heard this and wanted to refute.
But Xu He acted with a public heart, and no one could find fault with him.
Everyone saw this and naturally would not support Hou Si's mischief.
Xu He and others digested the distribution plan just now, and they also knew that Hou Si was already forced into a corner. If he was not given some sweetness, it would be difficult for him to convince the crowd when he returned.
So he took the initiative and said: "Fourth Master Hou, I will write a letter today and ask Yangzhou to release him."
Hou Si said lazily: "How much?"
"all!"
"What?" After hearing this, Hou Si immediately sat up straight and looked at Xu He in surprise.
Xu He nodded at him sincerely: "I have figured it out. If Liang Duo's fathers had not been unable to survive, they would not have been bewitched by the White Lotus Sect!"
Hou Si said happily: "Mr. Xu, your words have touched my heart, Hou Si!"
