After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Jiang Chen's words not only made the villagers and A-chan listen with great yearning, but also Fan Yao who was standing beside him listened with gusto.

He said to Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, I'm fascinated by what you said. If all the people in the world can live a good life like you said, that would be such a great merit."

Jiang Chen looked back at Fan Yao and said:

"What, don't you believe what I say? I think all this will come true."

Fan Yao shook his head and said:

"I really hope what you said is true. Unfortunately, I see that only those with power can afford to live in such a house, and only their children and grandchildren can receive a good education. These common people It’s so difficult to get ahead.”

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Liu Huaian shook his head in disbelief and said:

"Jiang Chen, your wish is good. I also hope that all the children from poor families can go to school, but behind these, there needs to be an economic foundation. Looking at the current situation of the Xuanwu Dynasty, domestic affairs and diplomacy alone have already It makes them miserable. They don't think about these poor families."

Jiang Chen nodded and said:

"Don't worry, everything will come true, but our top priority now is not the time to discuss this issue. Let's think about the problems we have to face now."

While they were talking, the woman in the kitchen had already put the food on the table.

Everyone saw that although it was simple, it was a rich meal in front of them.

This meal was their second meal today, and their stomachs were already hungry.Ah Fu was also busy, and seeing everyone eating so deliciously made him happier than anyone else.

After all the enthusiastic villagers left, Ah Fu's sister-in-law, according to Ah Fu's words, had already arranged rooms for them in the main house.

Jiang Chen felt really tired that day and fell asleep soon after lying down.

I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Chen, who had always been a light sleeper, was suddenly woken up by the crackling sound outside the window, and his nose smelled the smell of something burning.

He opened his eyes suddenly and saw flames shooting into the sky outside the window.He hurriedly woke up Liu Huaian and Fan Yao beside him:

"Brother Liu and Brother Fan, wake up quickly, there's a fire outside."

The two of them suddenly woke up from their beds. Jiang Chen had already arrived at the window.Seeing the flames blazing outside, the fire was about to burn into the house.

He shouted to Liu Huaian and Fan Yao:

"The fire is coming in, run out quickly."

After saying that, he quickly came to the door, and when he opened it, it was locked.He took a step back and kicked the door. With a crash, the door was kicked open by him.

Then he shouted at the two of them to run quickly or it would be too late.

As soon as he rushed out, he saw several people attacking him. He responded while shouting into the room.

"It's on fire, come out quickly."

At this time, what he cared about most was Liu Yiyi.He ran towards Liu Yiyi's room desperately.

Until he saw Liu Yiyi and Achan running out of the room.He grabbed her clothes and didn't feel relieved until he saw that she was safe.

Ah Fu's father saw that his house was on fire. He was so anxious that he took out a washbasin and banged it.

Seeing that something was not going well, those few people turned around and ran away. Jiang Chen wanted to chase them out, but he was worried about the safety of Liu Yiyi and everyone, and the fire burning in front of him.I could only watch as they escaped.

At this time, the villagers who came after hearing the news rushed into the yard.

People were busy carrying water to put out the fire. They were busy until almost dawn before they put out the fire.

Ah Fu's father and brother looked at the burned house in front of them and sat on the ground crying.

Ah Fu came to Jiang Chen and said worriedly:

"Master, the house has been burned down, what should we do?"

Jiang Chen looked at Ah Fu and said:

"It's a pity that those thieves escaped. It must have been the fault of Steward Ma who sent someone to do it. Ah Fu, ride your horse and go to the government office to report the case. Just say that there are bandits in the house, and ask the magistrate to come and handle the case."

After Ah Fu heard this, he rushed to the county government office without stopping.

Not long after, the magistrate arrived at the scene with his government officials.

When he saw that the house in front of him was burned to a shambles, he said angrily:

"It's really lawless. These gangsters dared to break into people's houses and set fire to them. They were so brave. It's a pity that they escaped. Otherwise, they would have been severely punished if they were caught."

Jiang Chen raised his head, looked at the magistrate and said:

"Sir, you have also seen it. You said how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive. Who do you think might have done this?"

The magistrate shook his head and said:

"Young Master has not arrested anyone, so it is not easy for me to jump to conclusions."

Ah Fu's father and eldest brother.With a black face, he came to the magistrate, knelt down and said:

"Sir, you have to make the decision for us. Our house has been burned down. How do you think we should live in the future?"

The villagers held buckets and basins in their hands. They also came to the magistrate and said;

"Sir, this must be someone sent by Manager Ma, otherwise they would attack us sooner rather than later. This is obviously a warning to us."

Jiang Chen looked at everyone, luckily there were no casualties, he took a long breath, and then said to the magistrate;

"Sir, what do you think about this matter?"

The county magistrate also sighed and said to Jiang Chen:

"Now that I have no evidence or certificate, I can't make a decision. So, I will send someone to call the manager Ma. Let's hear what he says first. What do you think?"

As soon as the magistrate finished speaking, he heard Steward Ma's voice coming from outside the door:

"Sir, there is no need to call. I came here uninvited."

Everyone looked up and saw Manager Ma striding in with his men.

His eyes glanced at the burned house, and then he pretended to be surprised and said:

"Sir, what happened to this house? Why was it burned to this state?"

The magistrate glanced at him and said:

"Thugs broke into my house last night and they set it on fire."

As the magistrate spoke, he looked at Manager Ma's face, wanting to see his reaction.

At this time, Ah Fu’s father came forward and grabbed the steward’s clothes and said:

"Guanshi Ma, what are you pretending to be? Did you instigate someone to set my house on fire? You bastard, why are you so cruel? I will fight with you today."

As he said that, Ah Fu's father hit him with his head.

Manager Ma was knocked back two steps, and he cursed at him:

"You old guy, why are you so crazy? Your house was burned down. What does it matter to me? Don't even think about relying on me. Just go away and don't let me see you again."

Jiang Chen came over to help Dad Afu who fell on the ground, stood up and said to Manager Ma:

"Guanshi Ma, do you dare to swear to God that this incident has nothing to do with you? You really don't regard the villagers as human beings. You can do such immoral things. Is there anything else you dare not do? Tell me. , did you follow Prime Minister Hu’s order, or did you arrange it yourself?”
