When Manager Ma heard what Jiang Chen said, he said a little guiltily:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who sent people to burn down his house? Is his shabby house worth burning down? It's all nonsense."

Jiang Chen looked at his guilty expression and already understood in his heart, so he said to him:

"He has no grudges against others. I can't think of anyone who would do something to an honest person. Their life was already difficult enough, but now they have even destroyed their place to live. What can they do? This kind of person who is inferior to a pig or a dog must be an inhuman thing. Do you think so? I wonder how Manager Ma went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss it. Everyone is waiting for your news. "

The magistrate also said to the manager:

"Yes, Manager Ma, I was just about to ask you how your discussions with the Prime Minister went, and whether you agreed to the conditions proposed by the villagers."

Manager Ma gave a cold cry and said:

"The Prime Minister is busy with the affairs of the government, so he has no time to care about such trivial matters. It is impossible to lower the rent. I advise you not to have illusions and be provoked by those with ulterior motives. Everyone, please do it as soon as possible. Pay it forward as soon as possible, don't end up with the same fate as here."

After hearing what he said, the magistrate stepped forward and said:

"Guanshi Ma, is this the result of your discussion with the Prime Minister? I don't believe that Prime Minister Lian Lian doesn't have such sympathy. He really said that."

Manager Ma said impatiently:

"Didn't I just say that the Prime Minister has no time to take care of these things? It is my responsibility to collect rent and leave everything to me. If you don't pay the rent, I will really take action."

After Jiang Chen heard what he said, he sneered and said to the villagers:

"Everyone must have heard what Manager Ma said just now. He said that the rent would not be lowered at all, and everyone was wondering what to do."

The villagers listened to the discussion for a while, and then someone said:

"Since they won't surrender, then we won't surrender."

"Yes, I won't pay either."

"If you don't pay, no one will pay."

Jiang Chen pointed at the villagers and said to the manager:

"Have you heard the voices of the villagers? Everyone refuses to pay. What can you do? Do you want to send people to burn down all their houses?"

Manager Ma pointed at Jiang Chen and said:

"You...you were the one who instigated them, otherwise none of them would dare to cause trouble. Aren't you deliberately trying to destroy my job? Mr. Magistrate, you are the head of a county. How can you just let these unscrupulous people do it?" Don’t you care about the rebellion here? I think you really don’t want to be an official anymore.”

Jiang Chen sneered contemptuously and said

"I think you are the one who wants to rebel. You yell at your parents and officials over and over again without any respect at all. Your Excellency is an official of the court and a person who works for the people. Why should he listen to you? The command of a slave. You are the murderer who did not hesitate to kill people, set fires, and destroy other people's property to deal with me. Tell me honestly where you hid the gangsters who came over at night. Don't think that if they run away, you will have nothing to do with them. Yes, I must pursue this matter. If I can’t find those people, I won’t give up. And for the property damage here, you must double the compensation to them. Their houses were destroyed, and there is no way you can do it. A place to stay. This loss must be compensated by you, sir, am I right in what I said?"

Ah Fu’s father knelt down in front of the magistrate and cried:

"Master Qingtian, my home has been burned down by Steward Ma. Our family will not even have a place to stay in the future. You must make the decision for me."

Liu Huaian also came to the magistrate and said to him:

"Sir, murder and arson have been unforgivable crimes since ancient times. We can no longer let the people at the bottom get worse and worse without even a place to retreat. They are so pitiful. You have to make the decision for them, my lord."

When Manager Ma saw that everyone was pointing their heads at him, he became even more angry and said to everyone:

"You have no proof and no evidence, so you just frame me up with both words and white teeth. If you can't produce evidence, I will make you walk away in vain."
