Chapter 76: The Anger of the Crowd Is Untouchable
The villagers are not Wu Qingyuan, they don’t plot as much as he thinks, and whoever dares to burn their grain- they will fight with whomever they want.
Under the leadership of the village chief, the entire Liushu Village rushed to the town overnight with hoes and sticks, regardless of whether their grain was in the warehouse where it was almost burned.
Compared with the last time Wu Qingyuan beat the gong and drum, this time the movement of the villagers in Liushu Village was even greater, so many people ran to the Qian family’s house together to make trouble, and before dawn came in the morning, they woke up the townspeople who were still sleeping in their houses, and everyone ran out in a daze in their clothes to see what was happening and suddenly woke up when seeing the villagers who came to make trouble.
The Qian family, who were sleeping comfortably, were naturally woken up by the sound of knocking and slamming the door outside, and after getting dressed and coming out, before they could speak, they were first surrounded by a group of angry villagers and severely beaten up.
“Beat them up, kill these black-hearted people!”
The villagers usually dare not do this, the money collector is a bad person but he is rich and they instinctively have a feeling of inferiority towards the rich as poor villagers.
But now they are infuriated by the Qian family’s action of wanting to burn their grain, and the villagers can’t manage so much anger anymore, so what if Mr. Qian has money? In the end, in addition to having more silver than them, his identity is not the same as theirs, so why burn their grains?!
What’s more, they still have the support of Boss Wu, the Qian family knows the people in Yamen, and Boss Wu also knows them, they still have evidence that the Qian family has done bad things, and who is helped by the county grandmaster in the public hall is not yet decided, they must first release their grievances.
In anger, the villagers did not show mercy, and finally, the town’s servants got the news and came to stop this matter.
This was no longer a small fight, except for the old people and children, the only people who stayed in the village while the rest of the men and women have come, and the many five or six hundred people can be called a huge group, and the fight is brought to a rich man in the town, so the people of the Yamen naturally cannot leave it alone.
But even if the people from the Yamen came, they couldn’t suppress the anger of the villagers, a group of villagers pushed the Yamen away with angry expressions, and when they caught Old Master Qian, they were going to the county seat, they wanted to go to the official’s mansion to report to the official, and they wanted the Qian family to give them an explanation!
The villagers won’t do this in normal times, the village chief and the villagers are people with low education and do not know much about the law, and ordinary people like them basically settle things privately when something happens, even if it is reasonable, they dare not go to the official’s office, because they have an instinctive fear of the county government in their hearts.

The village chief was originally angry, and after listening to his analysis, he suddenly felt that this was very reasonable, and right, they should send these people to the official’s mansion, can it be that with so many of them, they’ll still dare to protect the Qian family?
Therefore, no matter how the town’s servants stopped him, and how Mr. Qian begged for mercy and said that they can settle this privately, the villagers were not moved, and they tied up the man outside, and took a few witnesses to the county by boat, and everyone was not worried about the boat fare as Wu Qingyuan paid for it in the name of being friends.
The village chief listened to Wu Qingyuan’s words- with how big this matter was, it attracted the attention of many people along the way so that when the hall opened, the gate of the county was full of people.
At the beginning of the poisoning incident, Wu Qingyuan couldn’t take the money alone, but now, with so many villagers who’ve come report together, all eyes are watching, the county master does not dare to mess around anymore, so he has to bite the bullet and open an interrogation.
Finally, in order to appease the angry villagers, the county master sentenced Mr. Qian to prison for three months to reflect on and compensate the victimized villagers in Liushu Village.
In this way, it was obvious that the county master was still helping the Qian family cover up their mess, and the villagers were still a little unhappy in their hearts, but they could only accept it, after all, if there was no real accident, they could not let Mr. Qian lose his life or something.
Since things have gone wrong, Mr. Qian could not deny it, and finally, he could only cover his bruised face and nod to accept, and the villagers waited for Mrs. Qian to send the silver over before returning home with the compensation silver.
However, although they accepted the Qian family’s silver compensation, the anger in the hearts of the villagers did not disappear.
After going back, everyone thought about it, and the next day they took the land deed of renting the Qian family to the town to find Mrs. Qian, and they all said that they would not rent the Qian family’s field, and in addition to the rent paid for the grain collected this year, everyone also sold the remaining grain to Wu Qingyuan, and the Qian family’s grain store did not receive a pound of grain from them!
In short, the Qian family’s action of burning grain this time made all the villagers angry.
There are many times when the harvest is not good and they can still tighten their belts and survive, even if they go to open up the land in the second half of the year and go hungry, everyone does not want to rent the Qian family’s field, besides, Boss Wu told them that in the second half of the year, Boss Wu will buy and increase their family’s field, and when the time comes, they can rent the Wu family’s, and they won’t have to worry about hunger in the second half of the year.
Everyone knows that the villagers who rented the Wu family’s fields in the first half of the year made a big profit this harvest, and Wu Qingyuan also gave a full 10 taels of silver to the people who grew the most and the best grain in order to encourage everyone, which can make the remaining villagers in the village envious, with such a good landlord as the Wu family, why should they stay under the Qian family?
The crowd was angry, and Mrs. Qian had no choice but to take back the fields in Liushu Village.
At the same time, the townspeople who know what the Qian family has done are now completely not going to the Qian family’s restaurants, grain shops, cloth villages, and other stores to buy things, and the business has plummeted, compared to the last time Wu Qingyuan’s trouble, this time the whole village of Liushu Village is the real blow to the Qian family!
…………
“….. Master, now the Qian family’s shop basically has no one patronizing them, the Qian family’s field in Liushu Village has also been given back by the villagers, the villagers in other villages are also shaken when they heard the news, in order to appease everyone, Mrs. Qian personally came forward to reduce the rent of the land to those villagers, the Qian family this time can be said to have tried to steal chickens only to lose the rice to lure it, master, your trick is really wonderful, it deserves great admiration.”
Wang Dafu inquired about the outside affairs clearly and reported them clearly, with a relieved and admiring smile on his face, and he couldn’t help but rejoice that he didn’t choose the wrong way this time, but Boss Wu’s means were much deadlier than the Qian family’s.
This time, the Qian family really helped him by driving him out, and if he helped the Qian family against Boss Wu again, he was afraid that he will not know how he will die in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Dafu was afraid in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and continued to speak.
“But master, now that Mrs. Qian is back in charge of the Qian family, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to deal with them in the future, the Qian family’s development to this point is all the credit to Mrs. Qian’s decisions when she was a youth, now we have snatched away all the Qian family’s business farms, Mrs. Qian will not sit still…”
Boss Wu is different from Qian Yuan, it is not enough to just keep on praising the master, he also has to reflect on his role.
“Zhao Haisheng, how did the Qian family deal with him this time?”
Mrs. Qian’s counterattack, Wu Qingyuan was not so worried about it, the current situation was grim, Mrs. Qian no longer has the means to use the backhanded methods, it would be nothing more than trying to find a way to snatch their business back.
Instead, it was Zhao Haisheng who Wu Qingyuan was worried about.
There is not much hatred between him and Zhao Haisheng, but now, it is impossible to solve the grudge, he did not take the Zhao family to heart at the beginning, but he did not expect Zhao Haisheng to write him down in his heart, and when the Qian family repeatedly fought against him- in addition to the grudge of being business rivals, most of which were instigated by Zhao Haisheng.
Just like the last poisoning incident, according to Wang Dafu’s statement, Zhao Haisheng simply made a two-sided scheme- trying to eliminate Wang Dafu and him. Failure meant he could pull Wang Dafu off his horse to let him take the throne, but success meant eliminating them both in one go. This person is really not a small-minded enemy, being targeted by this kind of vengeful villain is more troublesome than confronting a blatant enemy.
“This guy has some skills, Mrs. Qian not only didn’t drive him away but also kept him around, it seems that he has a bit of use still…” Speaking of Zhao Haisheng, the smile on Wang Dafu’s face disappeared, and he was a little worried and a little unwilling.
After Wu Qingyuan listened, he was silent for a while: “It seems that the Qian family and we are destined to be enemies…..”
“The master’s intelligence is matchless, there is no need to worry, the Qian family does not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand in Shiqiao Town, and for Zhao Haisheng, we just have to keep an eye on him!” Wang Dafu immediately complimented the master to show his loyalty, after working under Mr. Qian for years, the habit of always praising the master has yet to disappear.
“No need, I have other things for you to do, starting tomorrow, you will go to the villages around Shiqiao Town and discuss with the village chief about buying fields and mountains.”
“Yes, rest assured, the little one will do it.”
“Remember one thing, discuss the purchase of land and mountains, and when signing the contract, you can buy only the mountains and hills…”
“Huh? Buy only the hills? Master, don’t you grow grain?” Wang Dafu was confused.
“Just do it…”
Wu Qingyuan smiled and did not explain.
Wang Dafu didn’t know why, so he was very curious, but the master didn’t say about it and he couldn’t ask, so he could only suppress the questions in his heart and retreat.
After Wang Dafu retired, Wu Qingyuan took a few cups of tea from the table and tasted it slowly.
While drinking, there was a sudden panicked voice from outside the door.
“Brother Wu, it’s not good, my father is gone, and even my younger brother- my younger brother is no longer here…”
