After being turned into cannon fodder, I made the emperor cry with anger

"What?" That week's housekeeper seemed to have heard a fantasy, and he laughed bloody: "Old Liutou! Are you sure?"

The village chief grabbed his straw hat nervously: "What? Can't you not sell it? Can you still buy it and sell it by force?"

That week, the housekeeper glanced sideways at Di Hanxin and his party, and asked, "Have other buyers come? Do they also want to buy melons?"

"They don't want to buy melons! They are just passing by! They are thirsty on the way and they just want a melon to eat." Village Chief Liu said.

Min Yiyi: "??"

That week the housekeeper stared at them with threatening and malicious eyes, then turned to the village chief and said: "Old Shitou! Do you know who our officials are? Don't toast without eating." I’ll be punished with alcohol. When the time comes, it’s useless to cry for father and mother!”

The old village chief was obviously frightened: "That's still the same three cents as last year! Just take all three cents away. Two cents is not enough! It's really not possible! It's too low! We have no way to survive!"

Butler Zhou: "Go and ask around. The price in Wangjia Village and Liujia Village is the same, both are two cents! Why do you only want three cents? Your face is bigger than theirs, isn't it?"

"We won't sell it for two cents!" Village Chief Na Shi also had a temper. He turned around and left: "You go buy melons elsewhere!"

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper Zhou actually raised his foot and kicked Village Chief Shi on the back. Village Chief Shi suddenly fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Qin Qiong shouted, and several people walked over. Qin Qiong and Di Hanxin blocked the group of people, while Min Yiyi and Min Zhongze helped the village chief up.

Village Chief Shi's face changed in pain, and he was probably very angry. His face was red and his eyes were about to burst.

"The important land on the outskirts of Beijing is at the feet of the Emperor." Di Han said in a cold voice, "Do you really dare to buy and sell by force?"

Although he was wearing ordinary clothes and a mask, his innate aura of superiority could not be concealed. The housekeeper looked at them and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where are you from? Tell me your name?"

Di Hanxin said: "We are passers-by who have seen injustice on the road! Just now at the city market, we heard the cry of selling watermelon for 3 Wen per catty, and there were many people buying it. The wholesale price should be cheaper. But it’s too cheap for you, what’s the difference between it and robbing money?”

"That's right!" Min Yiyi was filled with indignation, "Not only did you steal money, but you also beat people? Is there any more royal law?"

"Hahahaha!" Butler Zhou laughed arrogantly and presumptuously, "Wang Fa? Let me tell you this, in this world, our Zhou family is Wang Fa! If it is a tiger, you have to lie down for me, and if it is a dragon, you have to help me. I’m curled up! Do you understand?”

Min Yiyi looked at Di Hanxin: "Dragon? He said dragon? Doesn't the dragon represent the emperor? He means that even if the emperor comes here, he has to curl up obediently and be his grandson. Does he mean this? Wrong?"

Di Hanxin did not speak, but the look in his eyes became much colder, and he said: "Village Chief Shi, I have collected all the watermelons in your village, the price is two cents per catty! Do you want to sell them?"

Village Chief Shi shook his head sadly: "No! I won't sell to anyone. You all can leave!"

"Hmph!" Housekeeper Zhou sneered, "You know what you are doing! Lao Shi, we are acquaintances who have been dealing with each other for several years. Don't blame me for not reminding you. At your age, peace is a blessing! Be careful and you will lose your life if you have money!"

Village Chief Na Shi clenched his fists and dared not speak out in anger.

"The same words will be returned to you." Min Yiyi was furious and said: "You will not live long if you have a black heart! Of course someone will come to take you in!"

"You little bitch!" Housekeeper Zhou stretched out his hand to pinch Min Yiyi's chin. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by Di Hanxin. With a "click", his arm was removed directly and turned into a Nestled forward at a weird angle.

"Ahhhh!" Butler Zhou screamed in pain, "My shoulder! My shoulder!" His followers came forward to greet him one after another, but none of them could do anything.

"Get out of here!" Qin Qiong said, "If you don't leave, I will remove your legs altogether!"

The housekeeper was in terrible pain that week and had no intention of dwelling on it anymore. He said, "Just wait for me!" Then he quickly turned around, mounted his horse, and went back to find the doctor.

Di Hanxin turned around and asked Village Chief Shi: "Village Chief, are you okay?"

Village Chief Shi waved his hands in pain and desolation: "You should leave quickly! Don't wait for him to bring people back! I'm afraid he won't be able to be kind!"

Di Hanxin helped him sit down and said, "Village Chief Shi, can you tell me who they are? How many years have they been oppressing you like this?"

But Village Chief Shi shook his head: "Don't ask! Leave quickly! Leave quickly! They are outnumbered and not ordinary people! Even if they beat people to death, they can still be at ease. The best way is not to provoke them ! The housekeeper was very stingy that week. If you hurt him, he will definitely want to seek revenge from you! So you should leave quickly!"

Di Hanxin was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, we are the emperor's imperial envoys! The emperor received a complaint accusing Zhou Rubin of coercing the villagers to take away watermelons at low prices for a long time and taking them to the market to make huge profits. The emperor sent us here Investigate the authenticity. Village chief, can you tell us something?"

The village chief had a look of disbelief on his face: "The emperor sent you here? The emperor who is above us?"

Di Hanxin said: "Village Chief Shi, the emperor sits high in the temple, but he only wants his subjects to live a happy and stable life. It's just that due to the many affairs, it is difficult to visit the people. In addition, there are also some treacherous ministers and villains among them. You lied to the people, tell me about the Zhou family, and the Emperor will definitely help you remove this cancer!"

Village Chief Shi looked at Di Hanxin and began to doubt it: "Is it true?"

Di Hanxin nodded.

So, Village Chief Shi told them that five years ago, the Zhou family began to come to their area to harvest watermelons.

At the beginning, the Zhou family's price for harvesting watermelons was quite fair. They paid ten cents for the big ones, eight cents for the medium ones, and six cents for the small ones. They were taken away by boat. They also encouraged the villagers to plant a large number of watermelons, saying they wanted as much as they wanted.

However, when all the villagers planted watermelons, he lowered the price significantly. The villagers were not happy and unwilling to sell to them. Some of them were injured, maimed, and some had their families wiped out.

Now, they have stepped up their efforts and offered even lower prices...

"I saw at the entrance of the village that this is Gong Shi's hometown." Min Yiyi asked at this time, "You should still have contact with their family, right? Have you told them?"

Village Chief Shi nodded: "I have looked for him, but there has been no reply."

Min Yiyi glanced at Di Hanxin: "Oh..."

When they left, Village Chief Shi used his ox cart to send them a cart of watermelons to the dock.

Di Hanxin couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

On the way back from the village, Di Hanxin's face remained solemn and he didn't speak. He didn't know what he was thinking.
