Chapter 1374 The tricks in Zhuangzi 1
Liu Zhi opened the curtain and saw the man standing at the gate of the archway with a hoe frowning: "It's him!"

This man yelled, and immediately three or five big men came out, everyone was holding weapons, sharpened sickles and hoes, and looked at Liu Xinghe and Ah Hu very warily.

Liu Mianmian frowned: This is not quite right.

The Liu family also has Zhuangzi, and she went there with her grandmother when she was in the boudoir.

She went there to play in the mountains and rivers, and her grandmother took her to be her grandfather and asked her to see what was going on with these farmers.

When she gets married in the future, these things will always be taken care of, and there is no harm in getting in touch with her in advance.

Zhuangzi is outside the city of Ye, bigger than the current Wangjiazhuang, and the archway is more than three feet high.

There are about [-] people living in the village, and they are very wealthy. Although some of the households are cunning, they are by no means as wary of outsiders as these men are.

With that eye movement, it seemed that if Liu Xinghe said something wrong, he would drive them out immediately.

Liu Xinghe glanced at the weapons in their hands, his eyes were slightly fixed, but there was a smile on his face: "Don't panic, we are your masters!"

Liu Zhi opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, and smiled at the burly man in the lead: "Brother Wang, do you still remember me, I received the letter you sent a few days ago!"

This Brother Wang is Zhuangtou's son, he is ranked fourth in the family, country people are not so particular, everyone calls him Wang Si on weekdays.

Wang Si looked Liu Zhi up and down, and after recognizing her, a flustered look appeared on his face: "Why do you come here?"

Liu Zhi has also been in the palace for many years, so he still has some insight.

But she acted as if she didn't notice anything, and said cheerfully: "You came back to deliver the letter, and my lady left before she had time to ask you carefully. Since she took over this village, she hasn't been here once!"

"This time I'm here to see everyone, and get to know Zhuangzi by the way!"

That being said, the few men present knew that it was a lie that they were familiar with Zhuangzi, and that it was true that they had doubts about their delay in paying the rent.

Wang Si squeezed the hoe tightly in his hand, and smiled sarcastically: "Our village is small and remote. The lady in charge is a girl from the city. I'm afraid she's not used to it. The road is also narrow, and I'm afraid it's impossible for a carriage to get in!"

"Please don't worry about renting the house. In two months, the rice will fall to the ground, and we will definitely make up for what we owe!"

Liu Xinghe was holding a whip in his hand, and while he was circling casually, he laughed when he heard this: "See what you mean, do you not want us to enter Zhuangzi?"

His eyes fell behind Wang Si, his face full of interest: "Could it be that there are some secrets in this village?"

Wang Si's smile froze, and the complexions of the men also changed suddenly.

After a long time, Wang Sicai said: "Master, you are joking, we are also worried that you and Miss are not used to it! From this archway to the village, there is still more than ten miles of land!"

"You can't get in a carriage!"

After all, I still don't want Liu Mianmian and others to go in.

Liu Xinghe took a good rest, with a smile on his face, but his voice was cold: "Then why are you standing around stupidly, quickly get a sedan chair or a sliding pole."

Wang Si and the others showed melancholy expressions on their faces.

Liu Zhi grimaced: "Why, it's embarrassing for you to get a sedan chair for the master's house, don't you want to plant this land?"

"Otherwise, after planting this season, you will go find another house?"

Rice production in Rongcheng is divided into two seasons: morning and evening. There are about two months left before the early rice matures. After harvesting, the late rice can be planted within a month.

The Zhuangzi that Su Luo gave to Liu Mianmian was originally collected by Shen Cong from the creditors to pay off the debts a few years ago.

In the past few years since Shen Cong took over, he has never raised the rent of these tenants. During the festivals, he will send them some pastries and prepare some small gifts for the children.

Among the Zhuangzi in this area, their rent is the lowest.

These tenants have lived in this village for generations. If the owner says they won't rent to them, how will they make a living in the future?
As soon as these words came out, Wang Si and the others didn't dare to shirk, and hurried back to Zhuangzi to prepare the sedan chair and other things.

When these people were far away, Liu Mianmian got out of the car, put on the veiled hat that Liu Zhi had prepared for her, and covered her face.

Liu Xinghe glanced at it, then nodded: "This veil is very good, my sister will walk outside in the future, it's better to cover it up!"

"The sun is poisonous right now, it won't be good if you get sunburned!"

Ah Hu silently rolled his eyes.

Are you worried about Miss Liu's sunburn?You are worried that others will covet her for looking good.

But even if he understood everything, Ah Hu just ate melons in the front row silently, and didn't open his mouth to expose them.

Liu Zhi took a look at the road leading to Zhuangzi, which was not too wide because it rained yesterday and was slightly muddy. She frowned and said, "Miss, there is something wrong with this Zhuangzi!"

Liu Mianmian nodded: "Yes, I know!"

Liu Xinghe got another branch from somewhere, twirled it in his hands, and asked lazily: "Then tell me, what's wrong?"

Liu Zhi muttered in a low voice: Can't you see this?

She said quickly: "Just now that Wang Si said that this archway is about ten miles away from Zhuangzili. Even a strong man will take half an hour to go back and forth!"

"It's understandable to send one person here. It's the busy season of farming. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for these four or five big men to stay here?"

"Country people work all year round. Why do they do it?"

Liu Xinghe raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Liu Mianmian added: "And I saw that when they heard that we were going to the Zhuangzi just now, they were extra vigilant and kept trying to push us out, saying that they would make up for the gap when the rice crops came down this season. word!"

Luliu's expression froze: "Since that's the case, let's just enter the Zhuangzi with just a few people. There are about three hundred people here. It's a bit dangerous. Miss, why don't we go back!"

This harvest is still not as important as a small life.

Liu Mianmian frowned and shook her head.

They've already arrived here, and it's not her style to go back without finding out.

And if she goes back this time, the tenants in these villages will probably hold her in the future, and it will be even more difficult to control her in the future.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Liu Xinghe: "Brother, what do you think we should do now?"

The corners of Liu Xinghe's mouth twitched, and he replied: "Don't panic, I'll let Ah Hu go to the village to call a dozen brothers over, and it will take a few hours to go back and forth. When we enter Zhuangzi, stay put and don't reveal anything. No sense of danger."

"We pretend we don't know anything, and they probably won't do it in advance!"

"Ergou and the others all have real kung fu skills. We have more than a dozen people, and these people in Zhuangzi are not to be feared!"
