I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 276 Things went wrong (please subscribe)

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ren and Zhang Gui were stunned on the spot and wondered why the governor did not act according to common sense.

Yang Lian didn't wait for their reaction and directly winked at the subordinates beside him.

The subordinate understood immediately and immediately called the two guards behind him to go towards the kneeling villagers of Caotan Village.

Xu Ren and the others wanted to stop them when they saw this, but they saw Yang Lian looking at them indifferently.He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, so he could only let his subordinates go and pick people.

The official had done this kind of thing a lot, so he naturally knew how to select people. He directly turned away the kneeling villager at the front and walked straight inside.

Chen Shitou and others standing at the back couldn't see what was happening in front of them. They just knew that someone seemed to be coming in front. Just when he wanted to see who it was, Uncle Da grabbed him and asked him to lower his head. Look forward.

"You, you, and you, come with me."

Chen Shitou, who was pulled down by Uncle Da and did not dare to look, suddenly heard a sound coming from in front of him. When he looked up, he saw an official standing in front of him, talking to him.

Before Chen Shitou could react, he was grabbed by the guards and walked straight forward. He didn't know what happened at this time.

As he walked, he looked back at Uncle Da, only to see that Uncle Da and the people around him were also confused, watching helplessly as Chen Shitou was taken away.

"Adult, people have brought."

Chen Shitou has not recovered yet, but looking at the officials in red robes and black veils who are surrounded by people, he seems to have guessed that this must be the governor Muramasa mentioned.

"You still don't kneel down when you see the governor."

Liu Shoubei, Xu Ren and others looked at the three people in front of them and secretly thought that something bad was going on. It seemed that the governor was well prepared and knew that they were naughty people.But at this point, he could only resort to tricks.

"Cao, Cao people Liu Wa, Zhang Mu and Chen Shitou pay their respects to your lord."

Yang Lian nodded. Looking at the nervous look of these three people, he probably wasn't familiar with Xu Ren and the others, so he looked at the person named Liu Wa and said:

"Are you from this village or from outside? Where do you live? Do you have land in this village?"

Liu Wa's face looked nervous when she saw the governor asking him like this.

He couldn't answer any of these questions. Where did he have land? He had been sleeping rough in Niuzhuangbao, begging for a living.

I was brought here a few days ago to eat and drink, and my life was very happy. Now I am just waiting for the governor to leave, and then have another good meal.

Looking at Liu Wa, who had been silent and dared not speak, Yang Lian was helpless and said softly:
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, I will spare your innocence."

When Xu Ren heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted loudly:

"Liu Wa, just say whatever you want. When you came to our village last month, didn't the court allocate you ten acres of land in the newly opened Longshang? How come you don't dare to speak when you meet the governor?"

Seeing Xu Ren opening his mouth to come to the rescue, Liu Wa dared to respond:
"Ah, yes, the younger one is a refugee from outside. Last month we recruited people to work in the fields. The younger one signed up and was allocated ten acres of land. Now he finally has hope."

When Yang Lian heard this, he glanced back at Xu Ren. Fortunately, Xu Ren immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

"That's good too. Of course you cherish the fields that those people gave you, and you'll show us the fields when the time comes."

Yang Lian was not in a hurry to expose them. Instead, he looked at Zhang Mu standing in the middle and asked:

"Where are you from? Have you ever had a field?" Zhang Mu seemed to have just passed his twilight years, so his experience was naturally not as good as that of Liu Wa.When the governor asked him, he didn't know the appropriate answer, so he looked at Xu Ren for help.

Seeing this, Xu Ren was just about to speak out when he saw the subordinates standing nearby staring at him and scolding:
"The governor is asking you, if you continue to make noise, take it down immediately."

When Xu Ren heard this, he immediately became as quiet as ice and looked at Liu Shoubei for help. Unexpectedly, Liu Shoubei didn't look at him at all. He seemed to be in a state of mind and didn't care about such things.

"Zhang Mu, the governor is asking you something. I'd like to give you a quick answer, as long as you give a concrete report."

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Zhang Mu immediately panicked, his two legs trembled, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his head.

"Little one, I'm a foreigner. As for what kind of field, I don't know. I was just dragged here a few days ago. I was told that as long as I obeyed the orders, I would have a few good meals. I thought how could such a good thing happen? Just followed."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ren panicked and screamed in his heart that it was over.

Yang Lian was not surprised by Zhang Mu's words, but continued to interrogate him.

"You all came from outside to make up for your losses. Have you heard about the imperial court recruiting people to work in the fields?"

"Tuntian?"

Zhang Mu looked puzzled when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly:

"Yes, yes, I heard that we are recruiting people to farm the land."

When Xu Ren heard this, he felt relieved. It seemed that Zhang Mu was of some use. I just hoped that he would say more nice things and stop talking nonsense.

"Oh, go into details."

Seeing that he finally had someone who could answer, and that the governor was still so interested, Zhang Mu immediately revealed the information he knew like a treasure trove.

"The Li family in Niuzhuangbao is recruiting people. I heard that they recently hired people to farm. I heard others said that they bought a lot of land. Otherwise, how could there be more than 200 people who are good at growing crops? I heard that Caotan Village has them. Shaodi, if I wasn’t too young and inexperienced, I would also want to go.”

Liu Shoubei's face couldn't help but twitch when these words came out, and he cursed Xu Ren for being a loser. Now he was done with it. He couldn't help but resent Yang Lian in his heart, wondering why the governor was so troubled, and what to do now.

He looked back at the old clerk behind him, his eyes showing anxiety.

The old clerk didn't expect such a mistake, so he had no choice but to abandon his car to save the commander. So he pointed Xu Ren at Liu Shoubei. Liu Shoubei immediately understood when he saw this, and he felt calm.

"Is this Li family a wealthy family in Niuzhuang Fort?"

"Of course it is. A lot of the land belongs to their family. The younger ones only heard about them recruiting people to farm the land, and the others didn't know anything about it."

As soon as Zhang Mu saw what he said, the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn. He knew that he had said the wrong thing. He couldn't help but glance at Xu Ren. He saw that Xu Ren's face was livid, and his expression showed panic. He obviously felt a little unaware. At a loss.

"This is actually happening! Xu Ren, you reported to me before that your village has reclaimed ten hectares of wasteland. I think you have made a lot of achievements in reclaiming wasteland, so I wanted to bring the governor over to have a look.

I didn't expect that you would find someone to take your place, and even sell the reclaimed wasteland to the Li family. You are really bold. Someone, come and take down me, Xu Ren. "

Just when Yang Lian was about to continue asking, Liu Shoubei suddenly stood up, yelled at Xu Ren, the village leader of Caotan Village, and ordered someone to take him down.
