Chapter 28 Linzhou Rich Family (2)

The waiter in the shop said unhappily: "How could those officials care about this kind of thing? They wish we could pay more money so that they can live happily!"

Boss Ding supported his waist and sighed: "Look at you two, you must be from other places, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question." He said, "In our Linzhou, the government has been doing nothing for several years."

Regarding this point, Wen Jisheng only heard a little bit, but he didn't know that the situation had evolved to such a serious point.

At that time, he came in a hurry, only inquired about the important news and left, and didn't pay much attention to the rest.He asked, "How do you say that?"

The waiter in the shop said: "You don't know that Linzhou is dominated by rich families. The rich family has the final say on all affairs. Even if there are officials who arrest the rich lackeys who are making trouble, they will be released again in a short time. Continue. oppresses the good."

Boss Ding said: "Those people just now, the leader is called Zhang Laosi, a relative in his family works as a housekeeper in a village of the rich family, so he works with the rich family.

"Although Zhang Lao Si does not directly obey the orders of the rich men, but relying on the power of the rich family, he acts as a domineering everywhere and plunders the people's money. In the name of 'protection', they randomly collect extra money and silver, and they collect all of them. It's been a year!"

Boss Ding felt extremely distressed when he thought of the hard-earned money that had been plundered continuously over the past year.He beat his chest and feet, both helpless and indignant:
"I hate us common people, there is nothing we can do about them! If we don't want to give, they will beat and scold us, and even threaten us to tear down the restaurant where we make a living!"

He is a native of Linzhou, and at his current age, he is almost unable to survive.The child in the family was sick, and the restaurant was about to close down again, and Zhang Laosi would come to remind him for the money every now and then.

Is this day going on?
Boss Ding rubbed his reddened eyes and said, "Forget it, after today's work, it doesn't matter if this restaurant doesn't open. It's better to go back to the village and help the folks plant the land, maybe there is something to eat."

Ban Xiyu: "They oppress the people like this, don't you think about resisting? Report the inaction of the Linzhou government to the governor of a province, or go to Beijing to sue the imperial court?"

The shop waiter said: "Hey, girl, your thinking is too naive. If the court petition is really useful, we don't have to endure it for so long."

"That's right. A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, let alone us. We are just ordinary people with no skills, and we don't know a lot of Chinese characters. What else can we do?" Boss Ding said sadly:
"So what if you resist like you said, girl? They are officers and soldiers, and they can destroy our whole life's hard work with just a flick of a finger."

Saying that, Boss Ding raised his head, looked at Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng apologetically, and said:

"I'm sorry, the two guest officers. It's our fault that I didn't let you have a hot meal today. Forget it, you won't be charged for the food and drinks. I'll ask the people below to get you something to eat later. Come, I hope you two don't feel disgusted."

Wen Jisheng quickly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, how can you dislike it, it's good to have something to eat, how can you pick and choose. Right, Xiyue?"

Wen Jisheng called Lou Xiyue's name, Ban Xiyu didn't realize it for a while, and stood there silently.

"Western Moon?"

Wen Ji called out again.

Ban Xiyu then turned to look at him: "Did you call me?"

Wen Jisheng: "...otherwise?"

Ban Xiyu: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

It's not that she was distracted, it's just that she didn't react when she heard someone call her "Xiyue".

"Is it?"

Wen Jisheng looked at her suspiciously, as if meeting her for the first time.

Seeing this, Ban Xiyu panicked.But it was only for a short while, and she immediately regained her composure.

Recognized?
Impossible.

probably not.

It's just a small mistake, and it won't be seen.Besides——

She thought to herself: Lou Xiyue and I look exactly the same, even if I am myself, I may not be able to tell who is who, let alone Wen Jisheng, an outsider?

In addition, Ban Xiyu thought that she had done a good job of disguising during this period, and there were not many flaws. Even if Wen Jisheng had doubts, she probably wouldn't have discovered it so quickly.

She comforted herself in her heart, even if Wen Jisheng discovered something strange about her, she couldn't find any definite evidence to prove that she was not Lou Xiyue.

So what if he is suspicious?

Could it be possible to guess that Lou Xiyue still has compatriots and sisters in this world?

From Lou Xiyue's introduction and description of Wen Jisheng, Ban Xiyu knew that although he was a bit smart, he was always carefree, unruly, and never cared about small details.

Therefore, Ban Xiyu is sure that she can hide the secret of the sisters' exchange life.

But thinking so, Ban Xiyu always felt a little uneasy.She immediately changed the subject and said, "Then boss, do you want to go back to the countryside within two days?"

Boss Ding said: "It's only two days. I'll clean up and see if I can sell this store."

"Don't wait any longer?" Ban Xiyu said, "Perhaps after a while, the rich family will fall. Just like the Lu family in Que Nanzhuang not long ago."

"The Lu family in Que Nanzhuang? I've also heard about the fact that the Lu family's house was ransacked overnight, but didn't it depend on a clear-eyed old man who was able to bring down the Lu family in Yurou Township?" Ding The boss said:
"Our Linzhou is different. The water in Linzhou is deep. Besides, because of the frequent business contacts between the rich family and the Lu family recently, the Lu family's downfall has caused the rich family to be very angry. At this time, the limelight is in full swing. "

The shop waiter also came over and said: "That's right. I heard yesterday that the rich man was so angry that he went to the doctor because of the incident with the Lu family. But that smelly old man is quite capable.

"The front foot is just sick, and the back foot is looking for a dignified and outstanding girl outside to send to the mansion. Tsk, if you don't forget that thing at this time, just let him die from exhaustion."

Ban Xiyu found it inconceivable: "Fulin is so insane?"

He's really not afraid of killing himself?
At this time, Wen Jisheng secretly looked at her, thinking that she didn't have the slightest twitch when discussing this matter.

Would an ordinary lady be like this?

Ban Xiyu naturally didn't know that he was secretly struggling with this trivial matter.

On the way back to the inn, she kept her head down, thinking about how to bring down the rich family.

Vaguely, she had some clues.

But just after they returned to the inn, the shop waiter suddenly reported that there was a visitor.

Wen Jisheng opened the door and saw a young man in a fine attire standing outside.

The young man turned his head, first sized up Wen Jisheng and Ban Xiyu, and then said, "You are the owner of Wujin Umbrella, Wen Jisheng? I finally found you."
