The middle-aged men looked at them one by one, and then the leader stood up and said, "Take me to see your rice."
Boss Lu thought this was the master from the capital, so he quickly greeted him with a smile and said, "Master, come with me."
The elder followed Mr. Lu outside the house and saw the rice being pulled by more than ten oxcarts.
He touched his beard and asked, "How come you two small farmers have so much rice?"
Boss Lu felt a little guilty and rubbed the back of his head. He couldn't say anything for a long time.
At this time, his second brother came over to smooth things over and said: "The villagers asked us to sell these. After receiving the money, we will distribute some to them."
The elder squinted his eyes and smiled: "You are really kind, but why didn't you see other villagers?"
His second brother continued to reply: "Now the villagers have rested at night, so we were sent to deliver rice."
The elder continued: "When I passed through Cheng'an County, I heard that the rice in your village has always been sold to the Zhou family? Why did you suddenly think of selling it to others?" ?.?????.???
His second brother slandered in a serious tone: "The female shopkeeper of the Zhou family is a black-hearted merchant. They deducted the rice we worked so hard to grow without telling us, and they didn't give us any money. We had no choice but to find another way to make a living."
The elder touched his beard and took a look inside the ruined temple, and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the Zhou family is actually such a person."
At this time, the great master's entourage coughed lightly and came over and said, "It's better to check their rice quickly."
The old man turned his head to look at Mr. Lu, raised his hand and said loudly: "Take me to see the rice."
Mr. Lu bent down to guide them, lifted the straw from the oxcart, then opened the linen bag, took out a handful of white rice and handed it to the old man.
The eldest man smelled it, then smiled and said: "It is indeed a good rice from the Zhou family!"
Boss Lu felt uncomfortable and stiffened slightly.
At this time, the eldest brother of the Ding family came up and said, "Master, where is our money?"
The elder waved his hand towards the attendant behind him and said, "Bring the money here."
Eight hundred taels of silver is a rare high price.
Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family were carried away and waited eagerly for them to take out the money.
At this time, the attendants carried out a large wooden box from the ruined temple.
"The money is here."
The elder smiled at them. As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Lu rushed over with a big smile.
"Silver, our silver, haha!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the big wooden box.
However, when he saw what was inside, he froze in place.
The eldest brother of the Ding family and his second brother strode over, "What's the matter, Brother Lu?"
Boss Lu pointed inside the box, his eyes dull and said: "Where is the silver? Where is our silver?"
The eldest brother of the Ding family and his second brother quickly looked into the box and saw that there was no silver at all, but only stones.
"Stones? Why are they all rocks?"
The eldest brother of the Ding family suddenly raised his head and looked at the elder who was walking towards the ruined temple. He strode after him, "Where is the silver? Where is the silver you mentioned? Why are there only stones?"
The old man stopped at the door of the ruined temple and turned back to smile at him: "You steal rice from the village and sell it, and you only deserve these stones."
After he finished speaking, he bent down and saluted the ruined temple, "Shopkeeper Du, you can come out now."
Du Wanchun slowly walked out from behind the stone statue in the ruined temple.
She has been here since Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family came in. She heard all their conversations and saw all their greedy looks.
"Shopkeeper Du, why is it you?"
The eldest brother of the Ding family turned pale and stood there in shock with his eyes wide open.
Others were even more frightened and panicked.
