Chapter 28 Who the hell is targeting them?
"Sister-in-law, I'm going out for a walk."

"Okay, be safe and come back early for dinner."

"Do not worry."

After speaking, Jiang Zhao took Wei Xiang and Simubai out.

Jiang Zhao and the others were walking on the small road in the field. On both sides of the road were large fields of crops. Now that it has entered autumn, it is the harvest season.

There are golden ears of wheat in the crop fields, and some old and weak farmers are harvesting in the field with their fronts facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.

They have to race against the sky, the weather is going to be cold soon, and after harvesting, they will start to sow cold-resistant grain.

If you look closely, you can see that most of the farmers in Tianzhong are elderly farmers, and there are only a handful of young and strong young men.

Even some old and weak women came out to work on the farm.

They were sweating profusely, their lips were chapped, but they didn't stop for a sip of water.

Although it was autumn at this time, the sun was shining directly down without any shelter, and the baked skin was still a little hot.

Wei Xiang thoughtfully held up an umbrella for Jiang Zhao, keeping the scorching heat out of the umbrella.

Jiang Zhao walked over field by field.

I found some people sitting on the ridges of the fields, like her, holding umbrellas and watching the farmers in the fields working.

Thinking about it, these people should be supervisors sent by the landlord, and those farmers in the field are tenants.

It's just that these tenants are busy all year round and don't even have time to rest. How much food will they get in the end?

Jiang Zhao randomly picked an open space and sat down, Si Mubai sat down with her, and asked, "What else are you thinking about?"

Jiang Zhao looked up into the distance and replied, "I'm thinking about the imperial examination."

Si Mubai also imitated her by looking into the distance, and asked, "What do you think about the palace examination?"

"The topic of the palace examination is not known yet, what can I think?" She was just thinking about what the topic of the palace examination will be.

"Then what do you think about the topic of the palace examination?"

"I think it will be about aristocratic families or vassal kings." The last time the exam was about persuading students, it surprised a large number of candidates.

The questions of the palace examination should be in line with common sense.

Si Mubai nodded, this time Jiang Zhao's bet was the same as his.

After sitting in the field for half an hour, he went back with Si Mubai and the others.

Back at Zhang Yougen's house, before entering the door, he heard voices coming from inside.

"Just now, Master Wu called me over and said that the field our family planted will no longer be leased to us."

"What? Why did the master suddenly want to take back the land?"

"What's going on here, why did the master suddenly take back the field?"

"Without fields, how can we afford the taxes?"

"What should we do? Did we offend Mr. Wu?"

……

Outside the door, Jiang Zhao, Si Mubai and the others looked at each other while listening to the voices of Zhang Yougen, his wife and their parents inside.

Both of them frowned tightly, their expressions dignified.

They never believed that the so-called Master Wu would take back the leased land for no reason.

But Zhang Yougen and his wife are usually honest and responsible, live their lives in a down-to-earth manner, and never do anything out of the ordinary.

Master Wu took back the field for no reason, probably because of the four of them.

Jiang Zhao never expected that the people behind him would not let go of Zhang Yougen and his wife.

The person behind ordered the merchants throughout the process not to provide them with houses or sell them anything.

It's just that they want to force them out of Huaijing City.

At first, Jiang Zhao suspected that it was Chen Lianghan, but now Jiang Zhao understood that it was definitely not Chen Lianghan who was targeting them. Chen Lianghan did not have such great power that he could mobilize the entire force to target them.

But Jiang Zhao couldn't figure out who he had offended and why that person targeted them.

And he is still such a man with all-hands and eyes.

The biggest person Jiang Zhao has come into contact with so far is Gu Hongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who came to give her a golden flower post that day.

But she didn't offend Gu Hongyuan, and Gu Hongyuan had no reason to target her.

Who will it be?
Jiang Zhao stood outside the door and thought for a long time, but he didn't know who it would be.

Si Mubai and Wei Xiang stood quietly behind her without saying a word to disturb her.

After standing outside the door for a long time, Jiang Zhao stepped into the door.

Seeing them coming back, Zhang Yougen and his wife immediately stopped discussing.

Sanniang came over and said, "Young Master Jiang, you are back."

"It must be very hot outside. I boiled some mung bean soup and put it in the well. Here it is for you."

After that, he turned around and went out to serve mung bean soup.

Zhang Yougen also asked: "You have been out for so long, are you hungry, what do you want to eat tonight, I will let Sanniang do it."

After all, I just want to go out and arrange today's dinner.

Jiang Zhao reached out to stop him: "Brother Dagen, we heard what you just said."

"Well, it's okay, isn't it that Mr. Wu took the land back? My family also has land, so we can plant our own land."

Zhang Yougen is still comforting them now, which makes Jiang Zhao feel even more guilty.

Jiang Zhao didn't want to hide it from them: "Brother Dagen, Master Wu's taking back the land you leased to your family may have something to do with us."

"It's related to you? What's going on?" Zhang Yougen didn't know why, how could Jiang Zhao say that, how could his family's land be related to Jiang Zhao and the others?

"Brother Dagen, we should have offended someone and made you suffer."

"But don't worry, we'll leave right away, and when we leave, we won't embarrass you any more."

Zhang Yougen and his wife are good people, Jiang Zhao doesn't have the heart to hurt them.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yougen was very firm in his opposition: "No, you can't leave!"

Hearing his words, Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai looked at each other, wondering why Zhang Yougen objected.

Shouldn't it be hoped that the sooner they leave, the better?
Save yourself from getting into trouble.

Zhang Yougen then continued: "You said before that all the inns in the city are unwilling to receive you. Where can you stay after you leave my house."

"Don't worry, even if there is no land, I can support our family, so you can live here with peace of mind."

After speaking, without giving them a chance to refuse, he walked out and went out to arrange dinner.

At this time, Sanniang came in with a few bowls of mung bean soup for them, and then went out to make dinner together.

Jiang Zhao looked at their busy figures and sighed.

Just now Zhang Yougen said that their own family also has a field. Since they have a field, they still want to rent the land of Mr. Wu's family. It must be because the field and the water source are too far away, and it is not easy to fetch water, so they panic there.

It suddenly occurred to Jiang Zhao's mind that there was one thing that could help them.
