After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 75 The County Magistrate comes in person【2】

Jiang Dalang did not leave, but reminded: "Making dyes requires water, and there are some powerful poisons in the world. They are not fatal to people if they drink them, but they can cause rashes if they come into contact with the skin. So the river and the well are two important places. Please also ask the Xue family to send someone to guard it, otherwise a bad person can ruin the reputation of the dye with a packet of poison, and this business will not be possible."

Xue Feng was startled and said hurriedly: "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me. I will send two people to guard it."

They thought that no one would dare to harm the lives of the whole village, so they did not go to guard the water source, but they forgot that the cloth had to be worn on the upper body. If someone got a rash after wearing it, it would be a big trouble.

Xue Feng immediately sent people to guard the two water sources. When he went to find Jiang Dalang again, he could no longer see anyone. He said, "That's strange. Where did the little brother go?"

The subordinates were also stunned: "They must have gone back."

Xue Feng frowned and asked them again: "When he came, did you hear the footsteps?"

The men shook their heads: "I didn't hear that. It was only after you asked, Brother Feng, that we knew there was someone in the darkness."

After hearing this, Xue Feng felt more and more: "These families are not simple. The girls can make new dyes, and the boys are so skilled that they can come and go silently in front of us practitioners."

No, he has to tell his employer about this tomorrow morning.

Xue Feng and the others kept watch for half the night, but they didn't catch any more thieves. When it got dark, Xue Feng ran to find Xue Dong's house.

Dong Xue was not awake yet, so he closed his eyes and listened to Xue Feng's report... He was not interested at all in catching villagers from neighboring villages, but when he heard that Jiang Dalang could come and go silently in front of Xue Feng, he opened his eyes in shock. , pointed at Xue Feng and said: "You mean, that little brother is better than you? Impossible."

Xue Feng and the others were taught by Old Man Wei.

Old Wei was once a dead soldier. After his master's family was executed, Old Wei became ownerless. Later, he was in danger and was saved by his father, and he became the secret instructor of the Xue family.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xue Feng still nodded and said: "Well, Brother Jiang is indeed better than his subordinates... The subordinates were able to find him because he deliberately made a noise."

Then he said very puzzledly: "I don't know where he learned the footwork. He walked very lightly, lighter than the sound of insects in the mountains and forests. His subordinates failed to discover him in time."

Tsk, Xue Dongjia looked at Xue Feng with disgust: "Then you are so useless. After studying with Old Man Wei for so many years, you are not even as good as a young man."

Xue Feng felt guilty: "It's because my subordinates are not good at academics and let my employer down."

Dong Xue waved his hand: "I don't blame you either."

Old Man Wei said that people who can withstand the training of dead soldiers cannot be used by ordinary people. Once they are used, they may be in danger of being killed by their subordinates to make money.

Therefore, Old Man Wei did not train Xue Feng and the others to be dead soldiers, but only trained them to be guards who were several times more powerful than bodyguards and soldiers.

"Thank you, my boss, for your kindness." Xue Feng asked again: "My boss, what should we do with the villagers in Kaihe Village?"

Xue Dongjia said: "We will take them to the county government now and use them to intimidate the prick-headed villagers from all over the country. After the intimidation is over, we will redeem them to restore the goodwill between the neighbors."

Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family still have to live in a ghost village, so it is not easy to have a big grudge with the nearby villages.

Xue Dongjia added: "The nearby villagers should be here soon. Move the wooden horses out and block the entrance of the village. Don't let them disturb the Qin family."

The girl of the Qin family hates trouble, so he has to keep trouble away from her.

"Yes." Xue Feng went to do it immediately. Soon, the villagers of Kaihe Village were pulled away by carriages.

By the time the head of Kaihe Village arrived, the carriage had already left Taifeng Town.

The head of He Village was so angry that after learning that he was caught by the Xue family, he hurried to see Dong Xue's family.

Dong Xue’s family didn’t see him and asked Manager Xue to deal with it.

Manager Xue said straight to the point: "He Village Chief, our Xue family already knows your purpose of coming, but the Wei Dynasty respects etiquette and anyone who commits a crime must be seen by an official, so please come back."

The head of He Village said anxiously: "Manager Xue, He Baiguan and the others broke into the village in the middle of the night with evil intentions. They were caught and beaten. They all deserved their crimes. However, no one has committed any crime in our Kaihe Village for a hundred years. It is a well-known good village in ten miles and eight towns. Old man We can’t let the village’s good reputation be ruined!”

If the reputation of this village is ruined, people in the village will be looked down upon when they go out to walk, talk about marriage, or do business.

"So please beg Manager Xue to send someone to accompany us to the county government office and bring them back. We can't let them ruin the reputation of the entire village."

He also promised: "When they come out, the old man will definitely take good care of them and won't let them come to the ghost village again!"

After saying that, he handed Guanshi Xue some money.

Guan Xue didn't want to do anything. After scaring Village Chief He enough, he said: "Mr. He, let me tell you everything... The Xue family wants to do business with the Qin family, so they will not let the nearby villagers come to the ghost village to do anything. He Baiguan and the others They hit a knife edge and were caught by our boss to scare the monkeys, so they won't be able to come back within half a month. After half a month, the Xue family will naturally rescue them."

He added: "Their cases will not be brought to court, and your village's reputation will not be affected in any way. Please don't worry, Chief He."

Manager Xue looked at Chief He and said, "So Chief He, stop wasting time on their affairs. If you have that time, you might as well dig more weeds and sell them to the Qin family."

Village Chief He was relieved after knowing that He Baiguan and the others would not be brought to court.

but……

"The Qin family only paid ten cents per catty, but the Yan family, Jia family, Tang family, and Qu family paid fifteen cents per catty." Village Chief He felt that selling to the Qin family was too much of a loss, so he smiled and said: " Manager Xue, do your Xue family collect grass? We sell the grass from Kaihe Village to you for fifteen cents per catty, how about that?"

Manager Xue said: "Our Xue family business's rules for collecting grass are that you need to sell half of the grass roots to the Qin family, otherwise our Xue family will not collect it."

"Isn't this just a disguised price reduction?" Village Chief He was a little unhappy and said with a smile: "The grass roots haven't been dried yet. Let's wait until we dry the grass roots."

He was not happy, but the old village chief Zhou was very happy. He specially brought a group of villagers to the ghost village without entering the village. He only said to the Xue family: "Please tell the Qin family that the grass roots dug in our Zhoujia Village will be sold to Qin." Half of the family would like to thank the Qin family for finding a way for the villagers to make money!"

After hearing this, Dong Xue's family came out in person and said with a smile: "Old village chief Zhou is worthy of being the father of Team Leader Zhou. He has really good vision. He never makes mistakes on big things."

After hearing this, the head of He Village hurriedly ran out and said, "You, you are Dong Xue's family? What do you mean by what you just said? Can you explain it to the old man in detail?"

Old village chief Zhou said: "He Da, you have been stupid for decades. Even if Dong Xue's family explains it clearly to you, you still won't understand... For the sake of our being neighbors for generations, I will give you Wake up, this kind of business is related to the livelihood of the whole county, the county magistrate is watching, don’t be greedy, and don’t take advantage of yourself."

Village Chief He: "What do you mean? Is it the intention of the county magistrate to sell weeds to the Qin family?"
