Chapter 122 Black Wind Stronghold Extinct

Don't ask Jiang Erya if her conscience will hurt if she does this.

Will not.

To be honest, if Zhao Wenchang hadn't assured her that every needle and thread seized from Heifeng Village would be used for disaster relief in Qingjiang County, she would have looted the entire Heifeng Village.

Anyway, what she hides, no one else can find it.

Now she only took Wei Zhentian's share, but left all the wealth of other bandits to the disaster victims in Qingjiang County, which is already very kind.

Zhao Wenchang believed in Jiang Erya's words, and specially sent two people to track down Wei Zhentian's whereabouts.

Hundreds of people in Heifengzhai had diarrhea, and the smell was really unpleasant. Jiang Erya didn't want to wait any longer, so she waved to Zhao Wenchang, said goodbye and left.

Zhao Wenchang can't leave yet, he has to watch these yamen servants work, and he has to watch these yamen servants to prevent them from hiding their belongings.

Zhao Wenchang and the third class of yamen were busy until noon the next day before they ransacked Heifengzhai.

When truckloads of belongings were transported into Qingjiang County, the entire Qingjiang County became a sensation.

When the yamen servants escorted a long string of bandits into the city with gongs and drums, the people of Qingjiang County immediately boiled over.

I don't know who yelled "Yes" first, and then everyone yelled.

"Well caught! These bandits are doing all kinds of evil, it's time to be put in the frying pan!"

A scruffy man saw the head of the second head of Heifeng Village, grabbed the butcher's knife from the butcher who sold pork, rushed towards the head and slashed at the head.

The yamen servant in charge of escorting the head was taken aback, thinking that this person came for him.

"what are you doing?"

The man slashed, then stopped, crying and said: "Three years ago, that beast went to our village to see how well my daughter-in-law is growing, and ruined my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law can't bear the humiliation. Abandon me and the children, hang yourself, woo woo woo..."

After hearing this, the yamen servants immediately drove the man aside.

"Okay, okay, you chopped it down, and you got angry, so don't hinder our errands anymore, we have to put those living bandits in the county prison as soon as possible."

Chen Yuanwai and a few other gentry and wealthy households mixed in the crowd looked at each other, trembling with fear.

Member Chen waved and walked towards the tea house on the street.

Other gentry and wealthy households hurriedly followed.

After entering the private room of the teahouse, other people anxiously asked Mr. Chen: "What is the origin of this dog official surnamed Zhao? How dare he have such courage to wipe out Heifengzhai!"

Chen Yuanwai rubbed his forehead and said: "I also just heard Wei Zhentian mention it a few days ago, it turns out that Zhao County Magistrate has a younger brother who is a first-rank official, who is a famous person beside the current emperor.

Zhao County Magistrate's backstage is tough, we'd better behave ourselves with our tails between our legs in the future, and we can't easily go against him anymore. "

A squire said with a sad face: "It's fine, why did the court press such a big Buddha on us? Alas, our future will be difficult!"

With the supervision of the Buddha, they dare not let go to make black-hearted money.How much money do you earn in a serious business all year round?Simply not enough.

Chen Yuanwai also sighed, and then comforted himself and everyone else along the way: "Don't worry, he will stay in Qingjiang County for three years at most. Once the three-year term expires, he will naturally be transferred to another place..."

Someone asked: "It's okay to be a good citizen with your tail between your legs for three years, just be afraid, Mr. Zhao will hold on to the past.

Over the years, we have joined forces with Heifengzhai to do many shady things.

Now that Black Wind Village has been suppressed, hundreds of people have been taken into prison.

If Master Zhao interrogates those things in the past and asks us to be held accountable, what should we do? "

Chen Yuanwai rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's push Zhu Yuanwai. You just need to remember one thing—everything is done by Zhu Yuanwai and has nothing to do with us..."

Soon, what the gentry and wealthy households worried about happened.

Sure enough, Zhao Wenchang obtained a lot of things from those bandits.

The gentry and wealthy households spoke in unison and tried to push the matter to Zhu Yuanwai.

They said that Zhu Yuanwai used to be the biggest landlord in Qingjiang County, the most powerful, and Zhu Yuanwai forced them to do everything, and all the benefits were divided between Zhu Yuanwai and Heifengzhai.

Not only do they not get any benefits, but they have to make offerings to Heifengzhai every year. The offerings are sent to Zhu Yuanwai first, and then Zhu Yuanwai arranges people to send them to Heifengzhai.

Not innocent Zhu Yuanwai: ...

What the hell, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, and the wall falls and everyone pushes it.How flattering these grandchildren were to him at the beginning, how vicious they are now.

Having seen through the coldness of the world, Zhu Yuanwai poured himself a few gulps of spirits, and ran to the county government office to confess his guilt.

He begged Zhao Wenchang to spare his family, but before Zhao Wenchang agreed, he slammed his head into a pillar beside him, apologizing with death.

Zhao Wenchang finally softened his heart. He only confiscated half of the Zhu family's property, and let the Zhu family go lightly.

As soon as the half of Zhu's land property was handed over, Zhao Wenchang sold it to Jiang Erya cheaply, more than 200 mu of land, for only 300 taels.

It happened to be worth the bounty of the five heads.

As soon as the new land was in hand, Jiang Erya excitedly drove her newly bought carriage, took her father and her silly star, and went to inspect the fields together.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, Jiang Erya pointed to the endless fields and said to Jiang Erniu and Silly Xing: "Look! This is the country I just conquered!"

No matter what Jiang Erya said, Jiang Erniu would never think too much about it, and would only agree with it cheerfully.

Sha Xing was stunned when he heard the word "Zhen".This word is so familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere...

Jiang Erya drove the carriage along the path beside the field for a while, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

A seven or eight-year-old girl stood shyly in front of the carriage, raised her arms as hard as she could, and asked Jiang Erniu nervously: "Are you the new landlord?
My family was originally a tenant of Zhu Yuanwai's family, planting five acres of land for Zhu Yuanwai.

But Zhu Yuanwai died, and the five mu of land planted by my family was taken away by the government. Mrs. Zhu returned the land lease contract signed by my family to my father, so that my family can find another way of life.

My parents were afraid that my two younger brothers would starve to death, so they decided to sell me for food.

I want to ask you, do you want to buy someone for your family?
If you want to buy it, can you buy me?
Laundry, cooking, farming, raising children... I can do everything.

I'm not expensive, my parents said, as long as five buckets of grain are enough..."

Jiang Erniu was stunned. Fifty catties of grain can buy a living person?

"Didn't Mr. Zhao do a good job in disaster relief? Why would anyone want to sell their daughter at such a low price?"

Jiang Erya replied: "Her family just lost arable land, and there are several mouths to eat at home. Her parents are in a hurry."

If people are in a hurry, what stupid things can't be done?
Jiang Erniu asked, "Then shall we buy it?"

Jiang Erya smiled and said to the little girl, "Go back first and call your parents..."
