"When Zhao Xuanyi asked you whether to compensate for money or vegetables, why did you agree to compensate for vegetables? Wouldn't it be better if you just advocated compensation? Everyone is acting like a fool, and you still ask me to compensate? Is your head okay? I took a point from you. Even though I had money, I still ate one of your vegetables? How can you have the nerve to say this? As human beings, you have really embarrassed your parents!" Ye Yaoguo yelled like this, and this group of people were really embarrassed. The farmers were frightened and looked at each other. No one knew what to say!
Just then, a voice came from behind the crowd
"It turns out that the price of vegetables in Ping'an City is so high because Mr. Ye was behind it all. This time I completely understand!" Everyone heard the voice and moved out of the way.
Wang Yunlong and Wang Yunchuan were seen carrying Zhao Xuanyi over, and when they came to Ye Yaoguo, they put Zhao Xuanyi down.
Zhao Xuanyi sat on the chair and looked at Ye Yaoguo with a smile on his face, as if he had caught Ye Yaoguo's handle and was laughing at him!
When Ye Yaoguo saw Zhao Xuanyi, his brain ached, and he thought, why is this guy here? The current situation is really embarrassing. Ye Yaoguo smiled slightly.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhao?"
"Well, it's okay, you're not blind! You still know me! But Mr. Ye, what you did in this matter was not honest, right? I was kind enough to collect vegetables for the imperial army, but you ended up obstructing me here. This is a bit unreasonable. Already?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a strong look.
Being caught red-handed, Ye Yaoguo's face was on fire, but he couldn't admit it even if he lived or died at this time.
"Mr. Zhao, where did you come from? I didn't do anything, so don't frame me!" Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly and pointed at the group of people behind him.
"So many witnesses have come to the door now. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Yes! This is Mr. Ye who told us that if we raise the price, we can sell for more money. Now that things have not worked out, he refuses to admit it!" A man in the crowd shouted loudly.
The man's words were like a bowl of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, causing the scene to explode instantly.
"Yes, it was all his fault. Give us an explanation!"
"Don't even think about running away. All the vegetables in our city cannot be sold because of you. Give us an explanation!" a group of people shouted.
Ye Yaoguo is now surrounded by enemies. He cannot get off the tiger. He cannot admit this matter. Otherwise, he will not lose money, but it will violate the national law. Ye Yaoguo hurriedly gave Ma Long a wink, then turned around and returned to the house, refusing to give in to this group of people. People have spoken!
When the farmers saw that Ye Yaoguo was about to escape, they swarmed up to him, planning to find Ye Yaoguo and demand an explanation. However, Ma Long and his men had already stopped the group of farmers, closed the door, and did not dare to come out!
Seeing Ye Yaoguo fleeing in despair, Zhao Xuanyi showed a satisfied smile, glanced at Shen Wei, and Shen Wei shouted loudly
"Let's take the young master back to his home!"
"Yes!" Wang Yunlong and Wang Yunchuan lifted Zhao Xuanyi and started to leave. At this time, these farmers stopped Zhao Xuanyi one after another.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, please stay!" Zhao Xuanyi was very unhappy when he saw these people blocking his sedan chair.
"What are you doing? Are you suing me again? Are you saying I'm blackmail?"
"Don't you dare, Mr. Zhao, we were confused before, listened to the villain's slander, and wrongly blamed you, Mr. Zhao. We know you are a good person, but seeing that we can't sell all the vegetables we worked hard for a year, we Please buy all our vegetables, please?" the old man in the lead said with a pleading look on his face.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao, can you help us?" A group of people kept pleading. Zhao Xuanyi looked indifferent
"I'm begging you, I don't dare to buy cabbage from your Ping An City. I'm afraid that you will eventually take me to court. You people from Ping An City don't even have integrity. Who dares to buy it? Don't hurt me! "
"Mr. Zhao, please don't. We can lower the price, and we can go to the government to create a document and write the price clearly. We will never dare to deceive you again!"
"Yes, we definitely don't dare anymore. Just save us, right?" Zhao Xuanyi snorted coldly.
"Sorry, you may think that I have a good face but a bad heart. In fact, I am exactly the same on the outside. Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted very coldly.
"Yes!" Shen Wei shouted
"Get out of the way, you little people, don't block the way of my family! Get out of the way!" Shen Wei pushed and shouted, squeezing a way through the group of people, and took Zhao Xuanyi away!
The group of farmers looked at each other and felt like crying. The autumn harvest was coming soon and the vegetables could not be sold. How could they survive in this cold winter?
Isn't this fatal?
"What can we do? Doesn't God want us to die?" The old man covered his face and shed tears.
"How about we go to the Yamen and ask Magistrate Zhang to help us?"
"Forget it! You don't know who Magistrate Zhang is? Ask him to help? Can you afford the money?" At this time, a man in the crowd stood up
"Everyone, don't worry, listen to me. I just got the news that a lady from a wealthy family has come to our town. I heard that her family is in business and is very rich. How about we go see if she can Help us?" Upon hearing this, this group of people seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.
"Brother, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, it's at the Wufu Inn. Let's go and take a look first, and then come back to settle the score with Mr. Ye. Sooner or later, we'll make him pay the price!" the man shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, let's prioritize things, let's go!" More than a hundred people left Ye Yaoguo's mansion and rushed to Wufu Inn.
Ye Yaoguo was sitting in the hall and felt very bad. Ma Long ran back from outside.
"Master, those unruly people are gone!" Ye Yaoguo sighed.
"What's going on with these bastards? How did they find us?"
"I don't know. I just heard that they were going to the Wufu Inn. I have already sent people to follow them to see what they are going to do!" Ye Yaoguo took a deep breath.
"How did Zhao Xuanyi find me here? No, this matter is not that simple. Send more people out and keep an eye on Zhao Xuanyi's every move. Report anything at any time!"
"Yes!" Ma Long left in a hurry. This group of people came to Wufu Inn and found out that the young lady from the capital was arranging things in the backyard. A group of people rushed into the backyard. As soon as they arrived in the backyard, they saw what they thought was a beautiful woman wearing a snow-white dress, giving instructions to her family. The servants are busy!
"Hurry up, take everything off the carriage, be careful!" the girl shouted softly, while the maid beside her held an umbrella.
"Yes!" More than a dozen servants agreed. The group of farmers took a look and found that the girl was very beautiful, with a good face, gorgeous clothes, generous manners, and nobility. At first glance, she was not an ordinary girl.
When a group of people saw this girl, they ran over quickly as if they had seen some kind of savior.
Seeing such a group of people rushing over, the girl was frightened and backed away.
"You...what are you doing?" the girl shouted with fear on her face. When a dozen servants saw it, they thought someone was making trouble, so they took out wooden sticks, shovels, etc., and rushed over to surround everyone.
"Who are you? Back off, we won't be polite if you come back!" The farmers took a look and realized, wasn't this a misunderstanding?
"No, no, no, miss, we don't mean any harm, we are here to talk to you about something!" When the girl heard that something was wrong?
Only then can I stand firm
"We don't know each other, what do we have to talk about?" When the farmers took a look, this girl didn't look like a bad person. She was so beautiful and had a gentle personality. She looked like a good person no matter what.
"Girl, we heard that your family is in business?"
"good!"
"Do you want to buy vegetables at home? We have a lot of vegetables and can sell them to you cheaply! What do you think about let's discuss it?" the old man asked with a smile.
When the girl heard this, she immediately laughed
"Master, please stop joking. Now the whole country knows about the vegetables in Ping'an City. They are sky-high prices. Although our family has a lot of money, we can't afford them! And I heard that after buying it, you will go back to the government to report it. This Who dares to buy it? It’s scarier than robbing!” These few words left more than a hundred people at the scene speechless.
"No, girl, don't listen to the rumors. This time we can go to the government to invite someone to come, write a letter and stamp it with a big seal. Do you think this will make you feel at ease?" When the girl heard this, she did not agree immediately and thought about it for a moment.
"Come here, prepare some tables and chairs so we can sit down and chat!"
"Yes!" We don't have much time, so we prepare a table and a few chairs. The girl sits on the east side, the farmers sit on the west side, and the rest of the people stand behind.
The girl didn't panic, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then looked at the group of people opposite.
"I've also heard about you. I guess not only me but the whole country knows about it. And it's now at this time. I don't think your vegetables can be stored for long, right?" This group of people looked at each other, one by one. Looking sad
"Let's put it this way, Miss, we really have no choice. Just help us. We are all old and young, and we really can't afford to wait!" The old man said with a miserable look on his face. The other farmers They all nodded.
When the girl heard this, she smiled
"In that case, let's talk about the price. Let's agree first. I can buy all your vegetables, but this is just to help you. To put it bluntly, it doesn't seem to be breaking the national law if I don't buy it!"
"Yes, yes, you are right!" Everyone nodded.
"In this way, the price of our vegetables will be based on this figure!" After the girl finished speaking, she stretched out three green onion-like fingers.
When all the farmers saw it, they showed happy expressions
"Girl, is your price a bit high? We don't dare to sell a cabbage for three copper coins. Isn't this bullying you?" the old man said with a smile.
"What?" The girl's face was full of surprise when she heard this
"Uncle, what are you talking about? I mean one copper coin and three cabbages!" The girl's words frightened everyone to take a breath of air-conditioning. Everyone stared with big eyes and small eyes, and they couldn't speak. After a long time, the old man spoke.
"Girl, are you kidding me? One copper plate to buy three cabbages? No matter how cheap our vegetables are, they won't reach this price?" The girl sneered.
"Uncle, we have agreed that I will really help you. In other words, if I don't buy your vegetables, who will dare to buy them? You don't have to sell them! They are all left at home waiting to rot. I won't force you! Then there's no need for us to talk!" After the girl said that, she turned and left.
When the old man saw that the girl was leaving, he panicked instantly
"Wait... Miss Song, wait a minute. Aren't we discussing this? Don't leave yet!" The girl heard the old man's words and sat down again.
"Uncle, I won't hide it from you. Although you may earn less at this price, it is still better than dying at home. And I also have a condition. I can only buy it after you agree!"
"Do you still have conditions?" the old man asked.
"Only one, you have ended up like this because of that Mr. Ye in the capital. Shameless people like him destroyed the supplies of the imperial army. Now there are people who are going to the palace to file a complaint. If necessary, Witnesses, are you willing to testify? Because you are all victims!" The girl looked at the group of farmers and said with a sad face.
The girl's words ignited everyone's anger. Everyone thought that we are in such a miserable state now, who is responsible for it?
Now that someone is helping us to seek justice, what should we fear?
"Girl, if you really take this bastard to court, our vegetables will be sold to you for three coins each! Then as long as you say a word, we will all go and testify!" the old man said.
"Yes, if you don't steam the steamed buns to make a fuss, this Mr. Ye is so abominable. We will go to the government right now and write down the prices of the vegetables we sell. You will have no worries!" The girl was satisfied after hearing their reply. He smiled and looked at the maid aside
"You follow this group of gentlemen to go through the formalities. After the formalities are completed, let the convoy enter the city and start collecting the vegetables. Give them cash. No more than one portion is allowed. I will go upstairs to rest for a while!"
"Yes!" The maid nodded and said
"Everyone, if you want to sell vegetables, come to me to register, and then wait for the official certificate to come, and we will start collecting vegetables!"
"Me, me, me! I want to sell vegetables!"
"I want to sell it too, so register it for me first!"
