Everyone discussed again at Huang's house, focusing on where the land was close to water sources and where the soil was fertile.
The more he talked, the more excited everyone became.
It was as if he had already taken all the good fields in Hailing County into his pocket with his small and vast power.
Just like that, at noon, a group of people drank some more wine, and then came out of Huang's house drunk.
Yuan He was sitting outside in a small sedan with two people, singing a ditty proudly along the way.
Just like that, I wandered to my home in the north of the city.
As soon as he entered the house, he said loudly: "Where is the person? Bring me a cup of tea."
At this time, a person rushed out from the main room of his house, came to him and whispered: "Dad, County Magistrate Hu is here!"
Hearing his son mention Lao Hu, He Yuanwai suddenly became half drunk.
"The eldest brother is talking to him inside!" the son added.
He Yuanwai frowned and said, "What is he here for?"
The youngest son shook his head: "After I came here, I told you that I would wait for you to come back. I didn't say anything, and I wasn't allowed to ask anyone to invite you. I drank the tea and turned it into water. I just won't leave!"
He Yuanwai smacked his lips, thought for a while and said: "Old Hu is usually a very elegant and clear person, and he gets along well with wealthy families like us! Do you think he is crying out for poverty when he comes this time?"
The youngest son touched the stubble of his beard, nodded and said, "That's probably true!"
He Yuanwai snorted coldly and said: "Haha, if it were something else, for the sake of the past, I could still give him some face, but this kind of thing..."
After saying that, he made up his mind, even if Hu County Cheng was kneeling on the ground today, he would never waver.
With this in mind, he came to the hall with light and firm steps.
Just after crossing the high threshold, He Yuanwai raised his hands and said with a warm smile: "Brother Hu, why didn't you notify me when you came back so that I could take care of you? What did the Caosi Yamen say? Is there any news about the food supply? ?”
He said all this with a shy smile. He thought that Hu Xian Cheng, who came to ask for food, would respond enthusiastically.
Unexpectedly, when Hu County Cheng, who used to smile like a Buddha, saw him coming back, he didn't even move his buttocks, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.
But he didn't show any anger or anger.
It means that the ancient well does not wave, that is, it is implicit but not exposed.
This time, He Yuanwai, who was pretending to be enthusiastic, couldn't figure out what he was doing, so he had to laugh dryly and sit aside.
After a long while, Hu Xian Cheng finally made a move. He was holding a teacup, pretending to take a sip of water, and then with a "pop" sound, he spit out the tea leaves in his mouth in front of the He family and his son. On the blue brick floor of the main room.
This made the He family, father and son even more panicked. Yes, they were planning to get along with the county, but they didn't want to completely offend these parents.
Yuan He turned his head and cursed in a pretentious manner: "Didn't you order the blind thing? Didn't you see that Mr. Hu's tea cup is about to be replaced with tea leaves?"
Hearing this, the two sons of the He family quickly stood up and confessed, and the eldest son even got up directly to go to Duanhu County Cheng's tea cup.
Hu Xian Cheng finally moved at this time. He stretched out his hand to stop the eldest son of the He family, but turned around and smiled at Yuan He: "Old He, what a trick!"
This nonsense sentence made He Yuanwai suddenly sweat on his forehead: "Hu Xiancheng, how did you say this?"
Seeing the smiling face of Mr. He outside, Huxian Cheng said: "Besides the Xu family and the Huang family, the big family in the county is your He family. In the countryside in the north of the city, when you open the fish scale book, it's all your He family's name! Why? ? Is it so difficult for the great master to ask you to borrow some food?"
When He Yuanwai heard this, he immediately felt calm. After waiting for a long time, why don't you come to ask me to borrow food?
He smiled, it was a bitter smile, and he looked at Hu Xiancheng and said with a mournful face: "Second Master, you have really wronged me. The flood doesn't care what the surname of the farmhouse is. If other people's houses are flooded, why should our house be flooded?" Is it okay? I don’t dare to go against the wishes of the great master, but everyone has their own skills..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hu Xian Cheng's sneer: "Old He, what's going on in your family? It's okay to deceive others, but can you deceive me?"
As soon as he finished saying this, He Yuanwai was completely speechless.
Yes, what does Hu County Cheng care about?
He was in charge of the land, the summer and autumn grain, who had grain in the county, and where the grain was, all in his belly.
The performance I just performed was really a bit deceptive.
When Hu Xian Cheng saw that he was no longer talking, he said earnestly: "Old He, we are all old friends. At this juncture, if you don't give us face, in the future..."
He Yuanwai gritted his molar teeth and thought about it for a long time, but finally shook his head and said: "Our family has no food!"
That's right, if I offend you, County Magistrate Hu and County Magistrate Chen, I will be a coward for a few years at worst. In the future, won't you all, the homeless officials, have to get out? What should I be afraid of?
Besides, it’s not my family. How can a few officials in the county offend all the big families?
Hu Xian Cheng knew that this man would not shed tears without seeing the coffin, so he smiled coldly and said: "Old He, do you know why there are so many big families in the county, but I only come to your house?"
He Yuanwai said coldly: "You think I'm soft-hearted and easy to bully!"
Hu Xian Cheng stood up, took a sip on the ground, and said with a sad expression: "I came to save your family just because you and I get along pretty well on weekdays!"
Hearing this, Yuanwai was suddenly startled and looked at Hu Xian Cheng.
I saw Lao Hu with a sad face and said: "You are about to become a lost dog now and you don't know it. You bark in front of me and I think you are funny. Do you understand?"
He Yuanwai was completely stunned. He said tremblingly: "Second Master, what is the situation? You should tell me directly!"
Hu Xian Cheng sneered and threw a note in his hand in front of him.
He Yuanwai picked up the note and looked at it, and saw that it said "Hailing disaster relief food will be shipped immediately without delay, and the checkpoints along the way will be cleared without any obstruction!" 】
Look at the official seal of the governor of Cao Maliangbi on the note, followed by a guard of the patrol censor, which is only slightly smaller than the governor's guard!
Hu Xian Cheng was not in a hurry and savored He Yuanwai's horrified expression. His grievances and resentments over the past few days were instantly wiped away after appreciating Lao He's expression, which was extremely refreshing.
He Yuanwai's lips trembled and his hands trembled as he looked at Hu County Magistrate and said, "Master County Magistrate, we have an old relationship. Are you... using a pretense to lie to me?"
Hu Xian Cheng smiled: "Is it true? You will know at noon tomorrow. I will be waiting for you at Nanshui Gate!"
He Yuanwai completely believed it this time. He wouldn't lie to others by saying it was such a recent time. After verification, it would be exposed.
That can only mean that the food... has indeed arrived!
But, shouldn’t the bosses in the county government hate their own people?
"Second Master, why do you want to help me?" He Yuanwai asked tremblingly.
Hu Xian Cheng narrowed his eyes and said to Yuan He: "Don't ask what the reason is. In short, I tell you that this is the great master showing you some tolerance. If you make a mistake or tip off the Huang family, then you Just wait to destroy the whole family!"
These words hit He Yuanwai like a gust of wind and rain, making him feel cold all over. Looking at Hu Xian Cheng's stern eyes, his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Lao Hu sneered at this time and said: "Now you know you are afraid? Why did you go there in the first place!"
After threatening, Lao Hu changed the subject and said, "But I'll give you a chance. The county will buy your grain at a price 20% higher than the market price to fill the Yongfeng warehouse!"
He Yuanwai was shocked and said: "What? I bought grain from other places at a high price! Can I lose 20%?"
When Hu Xian Cheng saw that he was seeking death, he immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
He Yuanwai was completely panicked at this time: "Second Master, stay!"
Hu Xian Cheng knew that Lao He was weak even without turning around. He smiled slightly, then turned around solemnly and said: "Go, inform other big family members besides the Huang family that we will discuss it together here tonight! "
"What are we discussing?" the youngest son of the He family asked foolishly.
Hu Xian Cheng grinned and said with a serious smile: "Of course we are planning to trick people!"
"Some people say that you are from a poor family like the "Emperor Master of a Poor Family", how do the Xu family explain it?
What is a poor family?
In ancient times, a poor family refers to a wealthy family that has declined.
Those with land are called common people, those without land are called vagabonds, and those without legitimate occupations are called gangsters.
It’s not me who’s trying to sell dog meat over someone else’s head! "
