Chapter 143 Marrying the second wife (1)
"Returning to the adults, I, I just follow other people's arrangements."

Landlord Cui's words made Yuniang stunned. He meant that he also obeyed other people's arrangements, and did this other person refer to Landlord Wang?

You must know that Landlord Wang is the one who shares weal and woe with him, yet he chooses to abandon his good partner at this time!

Landlord Wang, who had been in fear all this time, suddenly came to his senses, understood what Landlord Cui meant by these words, raised his head suddenly, and then stared at Landlord Cui, "What do you mean by that? I bought this mountain together with you, but people It was you who found it, so why did you obey my arrangement?"

Yu Niang felt a little pain in her liver, are these two people going to shirk their responsibilities?No matter how much they shirk, the responsibility will still fall on themselves!

"It's clearly the one you found." Landlord Cui roared angrily, and then put on a pitiful look and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Master Zhang, you have to find out that I am innocent. I did not find these people." I came back. If I knew that such a thing would kill people, I would definitely not agree to do this favor."

Now it's all right, the original cooperation has become a help.

In her heart, Yu Niang felt that the landlord was at a disadvantage.Sure enough, the catastrophe is imminent and they fly separately!

It was originally agreed to cooperate together, but now something happened to shirk responsibility.This is the most sincere feeling of human beings, right?
Landlord Wang was angry, "What do you mean? Now that something happened, you want to blame me? Let me tell you, Cui Ergou, this matter is not that simple. If you want to push it to me, you can push it to me." Me? It was you who proposed the use of earth cannons to mine mountains and rocks. I said at the beginning that there was a high possibility of death, but you yourself said that those people’s lives are worthless, even if a few people die. They don't care about their safety at all. But now something happened, you put the responsibility on me, what do you mean? I ask you what do you mean?"

Landlord Cui is not a good guy, so he was naturally angry when Landlord Wang said that.Completely forgetting that there were three big figures standing in front of them, he began to retort sharply, "It was your own idea to propose the quarrying of the mountain. If you hadn't come up with such a bad idea, do you think I would be happy?"

"Since you know it's a bad idea, why do you still agree? Don't you see that you can gain benefits from it?"

"Anyway, what happened now is your fault."

Listening to the two people's rebuttals back and forth, Yu Niang's eyes widened. Who said that only women can quarrel, and the quarrel between the two men in front of them is much more exciting than ordinary people.It's just that these two people have forgotten the situation they are in now?Do they know what to say and what not to say?Is it really a good thing to dig into each other's dark history like this?
Just when Yu Niang was extremely puzzled, the two of them woke up and realized what they had done. They hurriedly shut their mouths, lowered their heads in a panic, and dared not speak any more.

"Why aren't you noisy anymore?" Xiaozheng asked in a cold voice.

Yu Niang couldn't help but smile with the corners of her lips curled up.

There was also a faint smile on the corner of Zhiqing's mouth.

"Tell me the truth, how many people died?" Xiao Zhengtai asked with a straight face, the lingering sound in her voice made Landlord Cui and the two of them tremble uncontrollably.

"Yes, there are five people." Landlord Cui finally spoke.

Yu Niang's eyes widened, she didn't expect five people to die in just five days.It turns out that this matter will not subside, but will intensify.In other words, if their quarrying work is allowed to continue, more people will be killed!

"Yes, there are six people." Landlord Wang made a correction at this time.

Landlord Cui's face changed slightly, "It's five."

"Six, don't forget that person from Zhengjia Village." Landlord Wang reminded.

Landlord Cui's expression turned ugly, and he wanted to say something more, but Xiao Zhengtai had already interrupted him, "How many people are there?"

"Six people." Landlord Wang gave an affirmative answer.

Landlord Cui trembled slightly, thought for a while, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, please do me a favor, we have already given them a lot of money. Please forgive us, lord."

When Landlord Wang came to his senses, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"You mean every household paid compensation?" Yuniang asked.

Landlord Cui nodded sharply, "Yes, every household has paid one hundred Wen in compensation."

Yu Niang was so angry that she said that capitalists are cold-blooded animals that suck human blood. Only today did she realize that the real cold-blooded animals that suck human blood are not capitalists, but these landlords in feudal society.

"Do you mean to tell me that a fresh life is only worth a hundred coins?" Yuniang asked coldly.

In fact, Landlord Cui didn't like Yuniang's questioning words very much, but in front of Mrs. Xiaozheng, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He could only reply honestly: "Well, this one hundred coins is already a lot, and they work like that." How can there be so much compensation in a few days?"

Yu Niang almost spurted blood. It turned out that these compensations were obtained from other people's labor.Or it was because of this that the person in Hongyun Xiaogu Village did not receive any compensation.

"The person in Zhengjia Village didn't get compensation?"

Landlord Cui's face became even more ugly, his body began to tremble, and he dared not speak.

"I'm asking you something, tell me quickly." Yuniang shouted.

"He, he doesn't have one at home." Wang Landlord said tremblingly.

"Why did you leave out this one alone?"

"This, this, this, I have to ask him." Landlord Wang couldn't bear such a cold gaze, trembling all over, he couldn't help pointing at Landlord Cui.At the beginning, he mentioned that he would pay compensation together, but Cui Landlord thought it was unnecessary and refused to pay.So he didn't give it.But I didn't expect that something would happen now.

"Why? Give me a reason!" Xiao Zhengtai's face was extremely cold.

Landlord Cui became more and more frightened, and shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know, I, no, I can't say."

Landlord Cui's expression already said everything, someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes!
Yu Niang's heart was beating violently, who did that person offend, to be dealt with like this.But think of a grassroots who is far away from the power of the capital, shouldn't offend some people with such deep scheming!

Mrs. Xiaozheng's complexion changed slightly, and her brows were slightly frowned, but she quickly returned to her original nature. She looked at Landlord Cui with an expression on her face, and her voice was as cold as the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, making people shiver, "I'll give you one last time Chance to tell the truth."

Since it was someone else's order, how could Landlord Cui tell the person behind him?
