Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 207 is a talent
"If you don't have money, what water do you come out to drink, get out of here—"

Jin Weiyi was startled by the sudden change of face of the tea stand owner.

After a while, a young man in a red brocade robe came striding forward with a whip in his right hand, and behind him were several middle-aged men dressed in uniform, like servants.

The young man in the red robe was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with his head held high and his chest held high, with a look of pride faintly visible on his face, one could see that he was born either rich or noble.

The owner of the tea stall smiled flatteringly: "There is a man who doesn't pay for tea, and I'm going to drive him away."

The red-robed boy nodded, but didn't leave, with an arrogant look on his face.

The owner of the tea stall thought of something, so he ran inside to find his wife and took out a wooden box, then opened it and took out the ten taels of silver bills inside: "Why do you have to come in person for the rent collection this time? You sent someone to come here." , or the small ones can be sent to you.”

"Don't talk nonsense, take it here."

The owner of the tea stall hurriedly handed it over with both hands.

The red-robed boy took it and handed it to the people around him. He put his arms around and asked, "How many bowls of water have you sold this month, and each bowl has four copper coins? You should remember it yourself. Have all the seedlings in the field been planted?"

"It's been planted." The tea stall owner said repeatedly, "As soon as the land was opened, the small ones were planted without stopping, and they didn't dare to delay at all."

The red-robed boy nodded: "Your land has been confiscated this year, follow me later to go through the formalities, and if you have a harvest, I will give you 15 taels of silver."

The owner of the tea stand trembled: "You..."

"What?" The red-robed boy was dissatisfied, "You disagree?"

It's just a trivial matter, and he even condescended to come here in person, how dare these people disagree?
"No, no, I dare not, it's a small honor to be selected by you." The owner of the tea stall laughed bitterly in his heart, and smiled respectfully, and said cautiously, "It's just that I have a three-year-old grandson at home, and my mother has already passed away." At the age of seventy, there is no way to make ends meet just by relying on tea stalls."

The red-robed boy was a little impatient. He seemed to be asking, but he was actually threatening: "Isn't it enough to give you 15 taels?"

The tea stall owner pursed his lips.

Of course it's not enough, what's the use of 15 taels in Linyi where the prices are soaring?

He took a deep breath and smiled: "Enough..."

"not enough!"

The latter sentence was said by Jin Weiyi.

Jin Weiyi, who stood by and listened for a long time, wanted to speak a long time ago, and couldn't help it now.

"You are going too far! The land they planted so hard, you said it would be fine to take it away, but in the end they only gave you 15 taels of silver--do you still ask if it is enough?!"

"You collected twelve taels a month for rent, do you think it's enough?!"

The red-robed boy couldn't believe it: "How dare you contradict me?!"

Although he is the concubine of the family, he is also the concubine of the Xie family, and even the elder brother who was born in the first line has never spoken to him in such a tone!
The owner of the tea stand panicked: "Don't listen to him, he is just dissatisfied with the water I sold him for five copper coins, and deliberately added to the chaos."

"Go quickly." The tea stall owner gritted his teeth and hurriedly pushed Jin Weiyi away.

From the corner of his eye, Jin Weiyi glanced at Jiang Yan, who seemed not to be paying attention here, and stopped the owner of the tea stall from pushing him very neatly, and stepped hard on the soft ground with his feet: "What are you afraid of?! They rely on their family background to Can you do evil?!"

The owner of the tea stall patted his legs: "Hey, you can go."

Stop doing bad things with good intentions.

The purple-robed boy suddenly swung the whip on the ground vigorously, raising a cloud of dust around him: "Did I let him go?!"

The location where the whip came was only a few inches away from Jin Weiyi's feet, Jin Weiyi subconsciously shrank his feet back, and even felt the force of the whip.

But within a second, he immediately straightened his back, quite fearlessly: "Did I say I'm leaving?!"

The purple-robed boy laughed back in anger, and said three "yes" in a row: "Come here—"

Seeing that the scene was about to explode, Jiang Yan, who had heard enough, finally got up and smiled: "Master Xie, I have long admired you."

Looking at the young man with clear eyebrows in front of him, Xie Wangfei was taken aback.

Then he frowned: "Who are you?"

When Jiang Yan took out the jade pendant with the logo of the county magistrate, Xie Wangfei's expression changed, and he looked him up and down.

Linyi came to a new county magistrate, and his father had already told him about it. What his father meant was that it was best to keep it for his own use, and if he couldn't, he would destroy it.

Xie Wangfei sneered, hoping that the person in front of him was someone who knew the times, otherwise he would not be polite.

The owner of the tea stall didn't know a few words, but he could still recognize the logo on the jade pendant.

He opened his mouth and looked at Jin Weiyi... Then who is this big brother?
He just knew that whoever came to Yiyi with nothing to do was looking for trouble!
Jin Weiyi immediately said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, we will make decisions for you!"

Jiang Yan only smiled and said: "The people under him are ignorant, and they have caused trouble for Master Xie."

"I'm ignorant?" Jin Weiyi couldn't believe that the words came from him, and he immediately accused him righteously, "Your Majesty sent you here and has high hopes for you, but now you see them oppressing the people, but you just sit idly by ?!"

Xie Wangfei let out a "heh" when he heard the words: "Which eye of yours saw me oppressing the people?"

"I see with both eyes!"

Xie Wangfei pointed at the tea stall owner: "Ask him, did I bully him?"

What else could the tea stall owner say, against his heart: "No, of course not!"

Is there something you yourself don't know? !
But the new county magistrate had no intention of fighting Xie Wangfei for them, even if he did—whether the new official will be able to compete with the Xie family who has been stationed in Linyi for a hundred years is still unknown.

If he shoots the first bird, he can barely live his life, and he doesn't have the kindness to be the first bird.

Xie Wangfei was proud: "See, they don't want you to meddle in their own business."

Xie Wangfei pointed at Jiang Yan, his eyes were deep and smiling, but he was speaking to Jin Weiyi: "Learn from others, learn some rules, and when you come to Linyi, you must abide by our rules here."

Jin Weiyi's words were impassioned: "There is a saying in the sage's book, is it possible that the land under Putian is the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. Linyi belongs to your majesty, and it belongs to today's emperor—how did it become yours?!"

"Pedantic and old-fashioned." Xie Wangfei snorted, criticizing without hesitation, as if mocking his ignorance.

"I don't know why they are standing here. Could it be that there is no one in the court?"

"You!" Jin Wei was angry, and he was about to step forward with his fists raised, but the owner of the tea stall hurriedly grabbed him.

For the sake of being a fellow villager, the owner of the tea stall lowered his voice and kindly persuaded him: "My lord, don't say a few words."

He knew that Jin Wei wanted to help them, but it was useless to rely on arrogance and quick talk.

Jin Weiyi shook off the tea stall owner, aggrieved: "You just let them bully you so cowardly?"

The tea stall owner sighed and asked in his heart
——What else can I do?
He's just a common man.
