I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 344

"The villain Chang Qian is willing to follow Lord Hou—"

Wang Zi'an glanced at him, couldn't help but flashed a look of surprise, but immediately nodded and waved casually to the others.

"Go down, do your job well——"

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Wang Jiacai who had just been slapped in the face not knowing what to do.After hesitating for a long time, Wang Jiacai stomped his feet resentfully, turned around and walked outside Zhuangzi.

"They have made a profit, don't want to sit by and watch!"

Wang Zi'an slapped Wang Jiacai in the face in public, and Wang Jiacai's prestige in the entire farm has fallen to the bottom.No one paid any more attention to this former high-sounding butler. People had already focused their attention on that man named Chang Qian.Many people even regretted secretly, why did they hesitate at that time, and instead let that Chang Qian seize the opportunity.

"Have you practiced martial arts?"

Holding the teacup, Wang Zi'an seemed to ask casually.

Chang Qian's eyes shrank, like a frightened hedgehog, and instantly took a defensive posture.Wang Zi'an glanced at him indifferently, and took a sip of tea leisurely.

"You are not my opponent, tell me about yourself—"

Chang Qian suddenly relaxed like a deflated rubber ball, turned over and knelt down on the ground with a wry smile.

"When Hou Ye asked, the villain dared not hide it-the villain did practice martial arts for a few days, but when he was young, because of his loyalty, he accidentally killed a rich and young man who robbed the women of the people in his hometown, and had to escape. This place. Later, I was recruited to work here by the stewards of the village. They saw that I was strong and healthy, and I had a lot of skills, so they kept me and served as the captain of the village's guard. The villain is willing to plead guilty and obey the law. Lord Hou said—"

Wang Zi'an looked at Chang Qian carefully, and saw that he had broad eyebrows and firm eyes, not like a cunning person, so he couldn't help but believe it.It is impossible to hide such a thing as murder. You only need to inquire about it a little bit to know the whole story.Wang Zi'an waved his hand, signaling him to get up.

"This Marquis has no intention of entangled with your past, so just get up and tell me, what happened to those refugees in this farm?"

Only Wang Zi'an, Haruko and Chang Qian were left in the hall. Wang Zi'an was there and asked directly.Although Wang Jiacai just said that he was recruiting refugees, it was obviously not true.Especially now that my boss has arrived, except for the big and small stewards in the Zhuangzi, none of the tenants in the Zhuangzi have come to visit me. This situation is absolutely abnormal.

"Don't dare to lie to Lord Marquis, there have been no tenants in our farm for many years, only refugees—"

Now that he had decided to take refuge with his boss, Chang Qian also let go, and directly opened the lid on Zhuangzi.The more Wang Zi'an heard it, his face became darker, and there was a surge of hostility in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to kill someone.Even Miss Haruko couldn't help waving her fists, saying that she was hateful.

It turned out that the people who cleared the snow outside the Zhuangzi were the refugees who had just been recruited, but the key to the problem was just these two words.Although Chang'an is the most benevolent place, at the foot of the emperor, natural disasters have been frequent in recent years, and there are many refugees who come to the capital to beg for food every year.As a result, some people set their sights on this group of people, including Wang Jiacai, the chief steward of Zhuangzi.

In the name of attracting tenants, they recruited these people to the village, and only gave them very few living materials, but did the most heavy manual work. They were all expelled under the pretext, and then recruited a new group of refugees.Repeatedly, through this method, they squeezed these refugees almost free, and then took the part of the harvest that should have been distributed to the tenants into their own pockets.

This is the Royal Manor, even if there are refugees who dare to sue in the yamen, who would dare to take the risk of offending the royal family to take care of such a mess inside?Most of the stewards in Zhuangzi have benefited from steward Wang, so naturally they would not tell the outside world, such a thing was actually kept secret like this.

Although Wang Zi'an expected that there would be some filth in this village, he didn't expect the reality to be worse than he imagined. This group of stewards cheated and deceived, to the point where both humans and gods were angry.

"This Marquis can't control what happened in the past, but from now on, this Marquis must not let it go and let such unconscionable things appear on Zhuangzi!"

Wang Zi'an immediately ordered to summon all the tenants of the farm.

A group of refugees in ragged clothes, shivering with their shoulders hugged by the cold, gathered in the courtyard anxiously, their hearts were filled with deep anxiety.They are refugees. If the master knows this status, they will drive them out.

"Ah, it's him—"

When Wang Zi'an came out of the hall, the crowd couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.But the exclamation was quickly blocked back.They didn't expect that the young man in brocade clothes they just met on the road turned out to be the owner of this manor.Wang Zi'an smiled.

"Yes, I am the owner of this farm, Wang Zi'an, Marquis of Chang'an County. I don't care where you came from before, as long as you have never committed any crimes and work here honestly, the Marquis will allow you to farm and live here. The treatment is the same as that of tenants.”

As soon as Wang Zi'an finished speaking, the courtyard fell to his knees.Before, they were afraid that the master would find out their status as refugees and drive them out of the farm. Now that the master has directly admitted their identities, their hearts were immediately put into their stomachs, and some people were even moved to tears. This means that their own Finally, there is a place to stay. Don't worry about being driven out of the farm one day and becoming a homeless refugee again.

Wang Zi'an stepped forward to help several old people up, and then motioned for everyone to get up.

"Later, everyone can withdraw this winter's daily necessities from the account room. Let's get through this winter first—don't worry, I won't give it to you in vain. When you have a harvest in your field, I will slowly collect it from the big guy's harvest. buckle--"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and they gathered around one by one, wanting to kowtow to Wang Zi'an again, but Wang Zi'an persuaded them to go back one by one.

"Live with peace of mind, work with peace of mind, I am poor, but I can't afford to support so many of you—"

Wang Zi'an's half-joking words made the refugees who were moved and wanted to cry burst into laughter.Only then did Wang Zi'an heave a sigh of relief. He was not a saint and savior. He just gave them a chance to barely survive. This kind of gratitude was unbearable.

Wang Jiacai fell, and all the stewards cheered up, fearing that they would become the next steward Wang.Wang Zi'an's order was strictly carried out.The houses where the refugees live have been repaired, and basic living materials have been distributed.Only then did Wang Zi'an let Chang Qian take him to the open space he had left on his account.

"Before the ground is frozen, quickly tie up the shed I want—"
