It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"I asked my attendant to go back and get it. It should be delivered soon."

Ouyang Zhen nodded and winked at the attendant beside him, who then went out to meet him.

"Master Weng, as long as the contract is there, it is very simple and clear, but it is not easy to handle in practice. If you are timid, it will work if you scare the yamen runners, but if you meet a scoundrel, he will not be fooled. If you retreat in front, he will come back and make you very annoyed."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded. She understood it very well, but she was afraid that this matter would be a bottomless pit, so she didn't dare to reveal it.

"I am speaking as Ouyang Hua's elder brother. Your manor, your land, you can be ruthless in driving them away. You also need to frighten them so that they dare not make trouble again. Young Master Weng is young and kind, but his polite tricks cannot deal with unruly people."

Ouyang Zhen took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Luckily you came to see me. If it was someone else, even if he wasn't blackmailed by the villagers, he would have been blackmailed by the yamen runners."

This made Weng Xiaoxiao break out in a cold sweat. She had indeed thought too simply. Fortunately, she had thought of Ouyang Zhen. Thinking of this, Weng Xiaoxiao hurriedly stood up and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Sir, Master Weng's attendants have brought in the deed." The attendant came in and reported.

"Take him to the master's office to make a report, and then ask Li Tou to select two steady men to go to the farm with Master Weng."

"Yes."

This is such a thorough arrangement, and I have done my best to fulfill my duty as a friend.

"Thank you, sir. When Brother Ouyang comes back, I hope you can do me a favor. I will prepare some wine and thank you in person."

Ouyang Zhen waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. Speaking of which, I am the same age as the prince of the Marquis of Zhongxin, so we are quite familiar with each other. When Master Lin Changqing came to Yangzhou, he invited me to a banquet and asked me to take good care of you, and I accepted it."

It turns out there is this factor. Weng Xiaoxiao felt very warm in her heart, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Three yamen runners came in and asked Ouyang Zhen for instructions.

Ouyang Zhen only said two sentences and they understood what he meant.

Weng Xiaoxiao thanked him again and left. Chunxia followed to handle the formalities, and the group went to the farm together.

Before I got close, I saw several people gathered in front of the workshop.

The situation was similar to what Xiaotian described. The third grandmother sat on the ground, and his son and grandson squatted on both sides.

The tall and strong Captain Li stepped forward first and said, "Why did you drag the old man here to mess with him? If anything goes wrong, I will definitely sue you for being unfilial."

How could the villagers not be afraid of the officials? Since the young master didn't show up, Wang Fang thought he was afraid, but he didn't expect that he had reported to the officials first.

Wang Fang stiffened his neck and said, "Sir, the boss is bullying us. He made so much money with our recipe, but only gave us fifty taels. I don't accept it."

"Whether you accept it or not, we'll talk about it later. Let's send the old man back first! If there is really a bad thing, you will be punished for being unfilial. It has nothing to do with other people's workshops."

Upon hearing that he was going to be punished, the man no longer dared to argue. He and his son helped the old lady to stand up and let his son carry her back.

"Aunt, go with Aunt Liu to see her off." Seeing that the old lady didn't look well, Weng Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would cause trouble again.

Feng Gu nodded in agreement. With Weng Xiaoxiao here, she had nothing to worry about.

Once the old lady left, I no longer had to worry about handling things.

"Do you recognize this deed? It has your signature and seal on it. I registered it with the government office, so it is legal and valid. I discussed this with you many times beforehand, but now you regret it afterwards. It's your fault wherever you go. Captain Li, how many days will people who cause trouble be imprisoned?"

Captain Li cooperated and said, "It depends on the severity of the case. It could take three to five days at the least, or three to five months at the most. Yangzhou is a place where the law is respected. No one can mess around."

Wang Fang just wanted to make a fuss to gain some benefits, but now that the government has intervened, he has already backed off. "Sir, I won't dare to make a fuss anymore."

"Wang Fang, as a landlord I can be kind, but I can never be soft-hearted, and I will never condone or tolerate anything. You have bought land in Zhaozhuang, so move your household registration there. You will no longer be my tenant. I will give you three days to move out of my farm."

"Boss, boss, I was wrong. I won't be able to find a house in three days!" As he said this, he knelt down and moved forward, about to hug Weng Xiaoxiao's legs.

Chunxia was quick to act and directly pulled Weng Xiaoxiao and pulled her aside.

Xiaotian also jumped out and stood in front of Weng Xiaoxiao.

"You are such a fool. It's too late to regret now. The benefits your boss gave you were really wasted." Liu Yuan said angrily. "What kind of life did we all live before the new boss came? Look at us now..."

"That's right. We should not be without conscience. Whose family doesn't have enough food to eat? Whose clothes are still tattered?"

"Let's go. There's no time to regret. The boss is kind enough."

"You don't care whether I live or die, you are really blinded by greed!"

The villagers who rushed over started accusing each other.

Wang Fang was so embarrassed by what he said, but it was too late to say anything now, and he felt a little regretful.

Weng Xiaoxiao was startled by his sudden action, but she calmed down and walked to the front.

"Wang Fang, in front of the officials, I will lend you a bullock cart. Let's move today." Weng Xiaoxiao didn't want to go through all this trouble anymore. What should she do if he refuses to leave after three days?

"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work, brothers."

Captain Li smiled and agreed readily. Since the adults had come forward to help, he should naturally do them a favor.

"Uncle Liu, arrange for someone to harness two ox carts and go now."

Liu Yuan responded, called his second son and left.

"Wang Fang, since you won't give me time, I will give you two taels of silver. Your mud house is worth that much. Take all your things with you. From now on, we are even, and everyone present is a witness."

It's always good to get money. Wang Fang reached out to take it, but Weng Xiaoxiao took it back and said, "I'll give you the money after I move the things."

Looking at the familiar villagers around him, he found that no one helped him. It would be boring to stay any longer. He would have to make others afraid of him if he played tricks on him.

"Wait, if I find out that you sold the formula to other workshops, I will drag you into court. The defendant will be directly detained in prison. If there is no verdict, you will have to stay there for one day. If there is no verdict, you will have to stay there for a year. I can accompany you for as long as you want."

Wang Fang did have this idea. He wanted to sell the formula again and make a profit again, without anyone knowing. Who could do anything to him?

Looking at his expression, Weng Xiaoxiao knew that her guess was correct. This family could no longer stay on the farm.
