Chapter 460: No Entry to Mang Village
Chapter 460: No Entry to Mang Village
Lin Zhen was just about to say, "I'll go right away," but unexpectedly, the fat man came out from behind and started cursing at the captain.
"Get lost! I'm giving you guys a chance? What status does your master have to invite the prince?"
In front of so many brothers, Cai Bi felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that the burly fat man in front of him was not easy to mess with.
Compared with life and reputation, the latter is more important, so he took two steps back and prepared to bow and say goodbye.
Lin Zhen said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'll tell you a few things. Just go back and report directly. The county magistrate won't make things difficult for you."
Cai Biru was pardoned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Han Lei was killed by Hardemen's men. These people are the accomplices of yesterday's assassin. Take them back for interrogation, so you can explain yourself when your superiors ask about it. Also, tell the county magistrate that although Han Lei is dead, our previous agreement still stands. This prince will leave for Lingshan now, and any ore he digs up will belong to him."
"You understand." Cai Bi clasped his fists and waved to the younger brothers behind him, "Catch them!!"
The people from Hardman were gagged and taken away one by one in a dejected manner.
Lin Zhen, Fatty, Hou Chun and others were standing at the entrance of the post station, watching the backs of the group walking away.
Lin Zhen said, "Fatty, remember, don't make things difficult for the lower class people in the future."
"Why? Fatty worked so hard, finally reincarnated into a government official for three generations, isn't it just to bully people?"
"What's the point of bullying the lower class? If you have the guts, bully the emperor."
The fat man's eyes widened, as if he was saying something very certain: "Didn't the emperor ask you to wear the riding clothes?"
Lin Zhen:......
......
It is called Lingshan, but it is actually just a small hill located in the northeast of Bowang County and is under the jurisdiction of Bowang County.
Muramasa's surname is Hao, and people call him Hao the Bandit.
The reason for this name is that almost all the people in this village are unruly people - of course, this is relative to those in power.
In fact, in this era, there are no completely unruly people. It’s just that the villagers in this village are very united, and if one family has problems, the whole village will help.
No matter how evil your imperial court is, it would not massacre its own people. That is why this village occasionally disobeys the imperial court's orders. It is self-sufficient every year, producing and consuming its own food. It is like a country within a country.
However, because the village was remote, did not produce much, and was located in a buffer zone with the Qian and Qin states, the Korean court left it alone.
Putting more energy into the areas surrounding the capital, making things convenient for those in power and the rich, and creating GDP is better than anything else.
So this is what we often see: the more developed a place is, the more educated people are and the kinder they are.
The more remote the area, the lower the education level of the people, and the lower the speed of the people.
Of course, nothing is absolute, it’s all about proportion.
If someone argues, Lin Zhen will definitely say, you are right.
But now even if Lin Zhen said "You are right", it would be useless because the villagers were holding big knives and would not let him enter the village at all.
At the village gate, the Tiger Guards led by Lin Zhen lined up in a mighty row.
In order to avoid conflicts with the villagers, Lin Zhen deliberately put the fat man, the troublemaker, at the end of the team, and he himself led the team forward.
Lin Zhen looked at the ferocious village guard and smiled friendly: "My dear fellow, we are here to develop Lingshan. Don't worry, I will take extra care of the villagers and will not let you down."
After saying that, Lin Zhen took out a silver ingot from his pocket, which looked to be about five taels, and handed it to him with a smile.
In the morning, in order to ensure that he could bribe the villagers, Lin Zhen specially exchanged the official silver in Bowang County.
But who knew that the son of a bitch village guard would put the silver in his arms and then stiffen his neck again and say, "You can't enter!"
Lin Zhen was stunned. "No... Buddy, you don't understand the rules, do you? Why don't you do the job after you've received the money?"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!"
"Then return the money to me."
"not return!"
"No, you still want to rob the thieves?"
"We don't know what black means, but in our village, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"
"Then let's go into the mountains, shall we?"
"You can enter the mountain from the back, but there are also blockades on the mountain. You are not allowed to enter the village!"
The village guards had their mouths grinning like crazy, but there was no way they could resort to force.
Although Lin Zhen was angry, he did not lose his mind. He waved his hand and ordered the team to retreat.
"let's go!"
The village guard grinned, touched the five taels of silver in his arms, and spat fiercely at Lin Zhen's back.
"Bah! Who dares to enter our Mang Village?"
After retreating ten miles, Lin Zhen ordered the Huben Camp to set up camp and cook.
The fat man rode over from behind and saw Lin Zhen and Hou Chun sitting on a big rock and talking about something.
He jumped off his horse, slapped his butt on the dry grass and said, "Brother, what's going on? Didn't you say you were going to let these poor people go mining?"
Lin Zhen said helplessly: "They don't give me face."
"Fuck! How dare that blind man not give Big Brother Fatty face? You tell me, Fatty will dig up their ancestral graves!"
"Don't be so impulsive. Let me tell you again. Your status and your strength are not used to bully ordinary people."
Lin Zhen looked at Hou Chun and laughed like an owl: "Hehehehe, monkey, did you remember everything I told you?"
"Don't worry, my lord. I have experience in acting."
Thinking of the time when Hou Chun broke into the Gu family and kidnapped Qingzhu, Lin Zhen was very confident in him.
She patted his shoulder and called Huanbi: "Bi'er!"
Huanbi was washing her handkerchief by the stream. When she heard Lin Zhen calling her, she came over, her little hands red from the cold.
Seeing this, the fat man smiled and said, "Sister-in-law."
"Madam." Hou Chun also stood up and greeted her.
Huanbi nodded with a smile and said, "Husband, what's wrong?"
"Bring your bag here."
"Yes."
Soon Huanbi took the package from the carriage and handed it to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen took it and pulled out a lot of gold nuggets from it and handed them to Hou Chun: "Melt it and mix it with the sand. You know what will happen next."
"Yes, Prince, don't worry."
After saying that, Hou Chun took the gold and left. Before going to the county town, he greeted his carefully trained younger brother.
The fat man asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Do you know what the most difficult thing is when we want to mine?"
"Villagers? Laborers?" The fat man waved his hand and said, "For such a small matter, can't we just let the Tiger Guards handle it? I'll be the vanguard."
Huanbi had her period these days and was afraid to sit on the cold stone, so she squatted beside him obediently and peeled chestnuts for him.
Lin Zhen said: "No, it's the tree on the mountain."
