Chapter 407 Mr. Chu's Regret
As for Xu and Chu Zhenghai, they were naturally separated in the courtyard to the north.

Such a posture frightened Yu Shi and the others. They all stared blankly at the uniformly dressed guards, and looked at Osmanthus uneasily, as if Osmanthus was their backbone at this moment.

Osmanthus just smiled and shrugged, and then asked Chu Yannian who was still bowing his head to kill the fish, "Brother, how many fish are left?"

Chu Yannian looked at the unpacked fish, then at the packed but unmarinated fish, and then replied: "There are still seven unmarinated fish, add them all up, and there are still a dozen unmarinated fish. "

"Okay, I see." Osmanthus fragrans nodded, walked up to the green vegetables and fresh meat brought in by the guards, bent down to look at it, and then turned to the adults who packed the fish and said, "Dad , Let my fourth uncle clean up the rest of the fish! You and my brother go to fetch some water and come back. Then, mother, let my fourth aunt marinate those fish. Come and help me pick these vegetables, and I will pick them up later. After finishing the meals for the son of the world, let's cook for these officials."

"Hey, hey, good!" The few people who were named hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, as long as someone tells them what to do, no matter what they are asked to do, they can do it immediately, as long as they don't have their backs turned by those guards.

Mrs. Xu had already been supported by Chu Zhenghai. Seeing that those people were completely ignoring her appearance and opening their mouths to scold, but Chu Zhenghai gave her a fierce stare, so she forced herself to hold back.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu would stop yelling, Chu Zhenghai let her go, turned and went back to his room.Seeing the guards standing there like statues, Mrs. Xu swallowed the words that she originally wanted to curse, and could only go back to the house with Chu Zhenghai.

As for Mrs. Lu, she was frightened by those guards and went back to her room.

"Old man, look at those good sons you have raised, all of them have stiff wings, and they don't pay attention to me, the old lady who gave birth to them!"

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Xu couldn't help rambling.

Speaking of which, Chu Zhenghai was also frightened by today's posture. Before Guan Dashan came to the house to beg for food to help the victims, Chu Zhenghai considered that he would alarm the county magistrate.

And his grandson is a scholar, even if the county magistrate comes, his position will not be shaken.

But no one expected that the one who came today and was shocked was the majestic eldest son.

What kind of concept is the son of the world, it is definitely not something that farmers like Chu Zhenghai can fully understand.

Seeing the appearance of the county magistrate trembling with respect to the elder son, Chu Zhenghai knew that the elder son was definitely not something his family could afford, even if his grandson was a scholar, he probably couldn't beat the elder son.

Later, he learned from Guan Dashan that his third son's family had proposed that the government might be exempted from grain taxes.

The food tax is a major matter for the court, how can it be exempted?If the family is also plagued by insects, it would be understandable to ask for a reduction or exemption of food tax.But the house was not infested by insects, and the whole village knew about it.

At this time, I still go to ask for a reduction or exemption of grain tax. Isn't that just looking for trouble, and it's not fun for the county magistrate?
So right away, Chu Zhenghai realized that his third son's family was causing trouble for the big family.
