The Scenery of Farmgate

Five yamen came, and Yang Qiaoer's brother Yang Shan was among them. Yang Shan also recognized Yang Shu and the others, but he was not polite, and even knocked on their table, "Pine the silver, two coins, quickly take it out." , otherwise follow us to the yamen."

Yang Shu curled the corner of his mouth, "No problem, Master Shi, you will lead the way, and I will go to the Yamen with you."

Apparently, Yang Shu's answer was not within the expectations of the yamen servants. After all, when people heard that they were going to the yamen, they either hurriedly paid for money or cried and begged for mercy.

Yang Shan was also taken aback by Yang Shu's answer, he shouted to take someone to the yamen, but they really did, and it was not easy for you to handle the matter.

The leading Yachai gave Yang Shan a dissatisfied look, and shouted at a small stall, how many can be given out.

He turned his head and glanced at the person on his left again, and asked him to go forward to talk to Yang Shu and the others. The servant on the left stepped forward ferociously, and poked Yang Shu's chest with the saber in his hand, "Boy, toast If you don’t want to eat fine wine, right? If you are sensible, hand over the fine money quickly, otherwise don’t blame grandpa for not being good at knives.”

Yang Shu's expression remained unchanged, he stopped Tangning who was trying to block him, and said, "Then what is this poor man trying to do to me? Is he planning to cut off my arms and legs, or is he planning to cut off my head?"

Yang Shu also saw that these people just wanted money, as to whether they really came to punish the money or were entrusted by others, it is not yet known.

"You! What a villain, you have the guts to contradict me," the Yacha was unhappy, and drew out the knife directly.

Yang Shu still didn't blink, and didn't show any fear at all, "It's not that I won't give you money if you ask for it, let alone two dollars, as long as you are legal, I will behead your head and make it up for you. I just want to ask Ask a few bad guys, why are you fined money, is it because the county has an express regulation that stalls are not allowed, or do you need to pay a stall fee."

"You don't care about so much, don't talk nonsense, you have to take the money if I ask you, otherwise I will ruin your business now!" Yachai continued to threaten fiercely.

Yang Shu ignored him, but looked at the leading yamen behind him, "Is this what this janitor means? Several janitors walk around the county at will, and fine anyone who doesn't like it." ?”

"It's also strange. The magistrate of this county didn't give an order, and the poor masters dared to ask for fines at will. Could it be that the poor masters are now making decisions in this county?"

The clerk who poked Yang Shu with a saber wanted to speak, but was pushed away by the boss behind him, "He is sharp-tongued, no wonder the business started after a short period of time."

"But today I have to ask you what you plan to do if you want this fine money?"

Yang Shu said calmly, "Naturally, a villain will not refuse to give it to a reasonable and legal person, but if he takes it randomly without a reason, I'm sorry that a villain cannot accept it."

"The villain is also curious. Does the poor man want to collect this fine money or the county magistrate wants to collect it? After collecting it, is he going to use it to benefit the people or to scrape the people's fat and people's anointing for pleasure? Please think carefully before answering."

The leading yacha sneered, "He's a bold guy with a sharp mouth, but it's a pity, I just want to charge you some money today because I don't like you, if you don't want to give it," he pointed at the stall, " Hit me!"

As soon as the words came out, the four yamen servants who followed him were about to make a move immediately, and Aunt Zhu and others who were watching from the side quickly pleaded for Yang Shu, "If you have something to say, don't do it, we little people It's not easy to set up a stall and do some business, so please forgive them."

"That's right, there are stalls all over the county. I've never heard that the magistrate of the county will charge any fines. Even if there are, you can't open your mouth for two coins. Isn't this killing people?"

"It's not easy for the younger brother of the Yang family. When I first set up the stall, I heard that the family was still in debt. If it weren't for the helplessness, who would want to set up this stall in spite of the wind and the sun."

"Then what can be done? It's good that people can survive in this world. The people above just have a mouth, so they don't care about the life and death of our people."

Everyone said one sentence to another, but instead of begging for mercy, it turned into complaints, and there were many onlookers, which made the officials afraid to smash the stall.

Among other things, today's sages are wise, and they don't like the practice of lower-ranking officials taking away the fat and anointing of the people. Since he took the throne, he has cut off the heads of many corrupt officials.

The county magistrate of Qingfeng County is getting older and cares too much about many things, which makes the yamen servants like to dominate the people.But if there is a hard stubble, the yacha will not dare to move at will.

This person has always been barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, but he is afraid of death if he is horizontal.

Yang Shu thanked Aunt Zhu and the others, "Aunts needless to say, the poor master is determined to move my stall, and everyone can't stop it. If you want to smash it, let them smash it. Now they are kings in Qingfeng County. Fa, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one will care if you smash a stall and take the lives of a few untouchables."

After Yang Shu finished speaking, he dragged Tang Ning and Yang Erlang out from behind the stall, and gave way to the yamen's servants.

"Boss, is this smashing or not?" The saber was drawn out, and it was very embarrassing not to move, especially since it's not easy for these government servants to dominate the county in the future.But if it is smashed, then it is following the boy's way, and he has truly violated the Qingfeng County's law. These little yamen servants don't dare to bear this charge, they will lose their heads.

The clerk is not stupid, and the leader is even less stupid, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position. He knew that Yang Shu's intention was to keep them from stepping down.

He laughed, his face was a little cold, and he looked at Yang Shu and said, "I didn't think there would be a talent out of a pile of mud legs in Qingfeng County, but it's not a good thing to talk too sharply. I won't move you today, but you'd better not Let me grab the handle, otherwise you will never get out of this Qingfeng county yamen."

After the leader Yacha finished speaking, he made a move to his subordinates, "Let's go!"

Yang Shu cupped his hands towards a group of yamen servants, "Thank you a few servants, you have worked so hard to maintain the law and order in our Qingfeng County, I invite you to eat stinky tofu later."

The confrontation ended, and the common people watched a good show. In a small place, it is rare for ordinary people to dare to confront people in the yamen, let alone win.These people all surrounded Yang Shu to say congratulations.

Yang Shu smiled, and asked Yang Erlang and Tangning to continue to sell things. Yang Erlang was a little worried, "Fourth, if we offend the yamen, we may have a hard time in the future."

Yang Shudao: "Second brother, don't worry, justice is in the hearts of the people of the world, not to mention that the current emperor is a wise monarch, he will not let the servants run amok."

Yang Shu comforted Yang Erlang, patted Tangning's head to let him not worry, then raised a smiley face and began to greet the guests, but he began to think about how to solve this matter.

Because of the trouble caused by the yacha, today's business is better than yesterday, and everything is sold out in a short while.

When the stall was closed, Aunt Zhu and others came to talk to Yang Shu and the others, with a sad expression on their faces, "You guys have offended the yamen, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to set up a stall in the county in the future."

"That's right, if you ask me to tell you, Young Brother Yang, you are too stubborn. If you can bear with it and give me some money, it will save you trouble."

Yang Shu shook his head, "I've been setting up a stall here for a while, but no one came to trouble me before, and none of the yamen's agents collected fines for two cents. This is obviously using me as a raft to vent their anger. , I can’t be cowardly in this situation, otherwise I’d be too soft to be bullied at will.”

"Well said! I just like Boss Yang's temperament, he is straightforward and capable."

The second son of Chu, Chu Gan, always waved his fan and appeared to answer the conversation at the right time, but today besides the servant, there was one more person beside him.Judging by his appearance and attire, he should be the eldest son of the Chu family.

As soon as Chu Gan finished speaking, the fan was taken away and his head was also slapped, "Shut up, if you can't speak, don't speak."

After the training was over, they handed over to Yang Shu and the others, "Chu Heng, this kid's elder brother, hello Boss Yang."

Yang Shu hurriedly replied, "Hello, Mr. Chu."

Before Yang Shu could ask why this guy came, Chu Gan explained, "Yesterday, I went back and told my family that I was going to visit Boss Yang's house today, and my elder brother said that he wanted to be together, so he came with me today."

Chu Heng nodded, "I'm bothering you."

The courteous young man of the Chu family didn't look like he was from a merchant at all, and he didn't look like his middle school second brother. Instead, he looked like a young man raised by an aristocratic family, and he looked extremely comfortable in his gestures.

Naturally, Yang Shu would not feel bothered, and it would be easier to negotiate business if someone called the shots.

After the stall was tidied up, Yang Shu and the others were going to go shopping, and then went to Dongshan Village with the Chu family brothers after shopping.

Chu and Gan were riding in a carriage, but one carriage cannot carry so many people, and they have a wooden cart with a lot of things, so they can only push it back, so the carriage can only go a part and then stop Waiting for others, Chu Gan felt uncomfortable, and finally jumped out of the car to walk with Yang Shu and the others.

On the way, I heard some gossip about the countryside from Yang Shu and the others, and I thought it was much more interesting than riding in a carriage.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it attracted a lot of attention. After all, people in their village had a normal life, but there were not many carriages coming to the village, and children surrounded the carriage to watch the fun.

Knowing that this was going to the old man Yang's house, the villagers even started to discuss, thinking that the old man Yang's house might have gone to some kind of nobleman and was about to get rich.

Yang Shu came home yesterday and informed that Yang's mother led a few daughter-in-laws to clean the house and the outside, and it looked clean, and the children were taught not to run around and jump around, to be good-natured Standing under the eaves and looking at the horses, this made the two Chu brothers feel better.

But facing these two tall and handsome young masters who were dressed in luxurious clothes, the Yang family was still very cramped, and it was hard for them to come out and talk to them.

Yang Shu asked Yang Erlang to help stop the carriage, led the horse and led a group of children to let the horses go, and he greeted the people himself.

He didn't even ask to come in, so he set up a table under the eaves and quickly made two cups of mint syrup and sent them over. Yang Shu rolled up his sleeves, "Later, my lords, I'll cook you a cold dish of snails and rice. Pad your stomachs, and eat the fried skewers with dinner."
