It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

It was past 3 p.m., and the people of Dongshan Village were very happy. Zhang Cai and the others hadn't come to the village entrance to sit in silence today, perhaps because they were ready to give up.

Everyone returned home, washed up, and was about to have dinner when they faintly heard Jiang An and Jiang Ning shouting: "Someone is coming - a lot of people are coming -"

Jiang Yan picked up the sickle in the yard and headed straight for the village entrance.

……

At the entrance of Dongshan Village, Zhang Cai and Zhou Lizheng, along with six strong men, were confronting the villagers with knives. Another four strong men were guarding a very exquisite carriage.

Mother Yang lifted the azure curtain slightly with her hands and lowered her head.

There was also a man in green approaching the carriage, seemingly talking to the people inside.

Soon, the man in green walked straight up to the people from Dongshan Village and shouted sternly, "Put down the iron weapons! Do you want to be thrown into the county jail and have a taste of torture?"

Another person who doesn't tell where he comes from.

Jiang Wang narrowed his eyes and carefully identified for a while before he realized that the man in green was Wu Xiancheng who was not wearing official uniform.

County Magistrate Wu was in charge of the tax collection in Rongcheng County. Every year after Dongshan Village transported the tax grain to the government office for verification, they would ask him to sign and seal the document.

However, I only see County Magistrate Wu once a year, and it is difficult to find a memorable feature of his appearance. In addition, he is not wearing the County Magistrate uniform this time, so it is difficult to match him with the person.

Jiang Wang led everyone to put down their iron tools, hold their heads with their hands, squat obediently on one side, and make way for the village.

Zhou Li led four people into the village to search.

Jiang Yan squatted in the back row until his legs and feet became numb, and he accidentally fell to the ground with his buttocks. Zhang Cai and others who were guarding him didn't pay much attention to him, so they sat down to rest.

Jiang Ying heard the noise and moved inconspicuously to block Jiang Yan's position.

About half an hour later, several people came out to report that they had found nothing.

By this time, the people of Dongshan Village were already exhausted and sat in rows with the contemptuous consent of the guards.

Not long after, a girl in a purple dress with a complicated hairstyle and jingling jewelry came out from behind the azure curtain. She was wearing a purple dress with a complicated hairstyle and jingling jewelry.

Ignoring Old Lady Yang's attempts to help her off the carriage, the purple-clad woman stood before it and spoke softly to the people from Dongshan Village, looking down from above: "I apologize for disturbing you by coming here so hastily."

The people of Dongshan Village have returned to their original squatting and head-holding posture, finding it difficult to raise their heads.

Hearing this, Jiang Wang replied respectfully: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. It is a blessing for everyone that you have come to our village."

"My last name is Fu, you can call me Miss Fu from now on."

"But I hope you can call me Master."

The people in Dongshan Village panicked when they heard the word "master".

What does it mean?

Jiang Wang's throat tightened, and he corrected himself in a trembling voice: "Sir, we are all commoners. We haven't sold ourselves, so it's not right to call someone a master."

Mrs. Yang raised her eyes quietly, and against the backdrop of the setting sun, Miss Fu was smiling very charmingly... But at this moment, she only felt her body trembling and was terrified.

Fu Nulang showed no sign of being annoyed by Jiang Wang's tentative rebuttal. She continued in her gentle voice, "It doesn't matter. Just remember, from now on, I am your Fu Zhu."

County Magistrate Wu stepped forward and announced to the villagers of Dongshan their future fate:

"On August 4, the 13th year of the Jianguang reign, a woman surnamed Fu from Heding Prefecture purchased the forests from Xiaoqing Mountain to Canghu Mountain from Rongcheng County.

From that day on, all the things in the mountains belonged to Miss Fu.

Outsiders who enter the mountains without permission are considered thieves.

After investigation, it was found that after August 4, the people of Dongshan Village frequently went into the mountains, stealing trees and hunting wild animals in huge amounts.

In addition, starting from August 6th, they used weapons to prevent Fu's servants from entering the mountains to investigate.

According to the laws of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the villagers of Dongshan Village should be caned forty times, the mastermind Jiang Wang should be caned five times, and they should also be ordered to return the stolen money, totaling 75 taels and 8 coins.

"However, Miss Fu is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the elderly and weak of Dongshan Village suffer," County Magistrate Wu said, changing his tone. "This morning, I have discussed with the county magistrate and have agreed to allow you to sell your bodies to her. The debt and fine will be written off from now on."

"Everyone, why don't you thank me?!"
