Chapter 286: Being upright is not afraid of slanting shadows
Of course, Lin Zhe's men also noticed something strange about the villagers leading the way. He rolled his eyes speechlessly, wondering if those villagers were thinking too much?
If he killed them, the remaining more than a thousand kilograms of leeks would be in vain. Then how could he complete the errand assigned by the second master? He also wanted to take this opportunity to make amends.
Besides, seeing that the second young master likes this novel wild vegetable very much and asks them to sell it to the magistrate's office if they still have it in the future, I won't have any evil intentions.
Li Zheng and the others came to the cave on the second mountain with anxiety. Lin Zhe's men and a group of guards were shocked when they entered.
They didn't expect that there were so many strong men guarding here. Lin Zhe's men's eyes flashed, and he was a little confused.
From the time their prince launched an army to rebel against the prince and me, the strong labor force in the cities they passed through was pitifully reduced by his prince.
There are more elderly people, women and children in Xinzhou City now, but where did these older men come from?
Lin Zhe then thought about the group of people who said they were all picking leeks in the mountains. Maybe they had been hiding in the mountains.
Forget it, why bother with so much? He just wants to make up for his mistakes quickly and take back the remaining more than a thousand kilograms of leeks. Try to avoid getting a slap in the face.
The men waiting in the cave were also startled. When they saw that the bamboo baskets on the bodies of the dozen or so people inside were gone, a group of people wearing knives followed behind them.
They all felt that the dozen or so people in Li Zheng were robbed by the group of men with knives behind them. When they were about to use their sickles to resist...
Li Zheng smiled and spoke. "The masters of these people have already bought our leeks, so hurry up and give them to them."
"It turns out to be a buyer..." The nervous expressions on the men's faces turned into joy and excitement after hearing this.
Lin Zhe's men watched a group of men opposite putting bamboo baskets filled with chives in front of them, and he suddenly thought of two very important questions.
"You said these leeks weigh a total of 1,800 kilograms, and there is no scale now. What if you lied to us?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng hurriedly explained: "Brother, we didn't say that this leek weighs a total of 1,800 kilograms. I said it was nearly 1,800 kilograms. As for if you are worried that we will lie to you, we can now Well, we have scales."
When Li Dazhuang thought about the scale being carried on his back, he said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have a scale. Look at the scale here."
When Lin Zhe's men saw Li Dazhuang taking out the scale, they said impatiently: "That won't work, who knows whether your weighing is accurate or not. Let's do this. You can help carry these leeks to our house first.
We simply can't carry so many leeks with our few hands. Come to our house and have the leeks weighed again by our steward. I also have an explanation for our young master. "
Li Zheng frowned. He originally wanted to refuse, but he realized that they couldn't afford to offend the officials.
Even the second young master's servant in front of them is equivalent to a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and they cannot mess with him.
Furthermore, they also wanted to buy some daily necessities and food in Xinzhou City, so they nodded and agreed to help deliver leeks.
Lin Zhe's men continued to ask the second question after hearing that Li Zheng was willing to help deliver the leeks. "How to cook these leeks?"
Li Zheng smiled slightly and replied: "The way to eat these leeks is similar to leeks. You can fry them or make dumplings. Anyway, they are delicious no matter how you make them."
……
When the men arrived at the gate of Xinzhou City carrying baskets of leeks on their backs, they alerted the city defenders.
Originally, the city defenders wanted to conduct an interrogation, but Lin Zhe's men took out the ID card of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the city defenders immediately nodded and let him go.
This scene stunned the men who had just come out of the cave.
Li Goudan also asked Li Zheng in a low voice: "Li Zheng, who is that person? Why did the city defenders let him go after just one look at him?"
Li Zheng frowned slightly. "Now is not the time to inquire about this matter. I will tell you when I get back."
I originally thought that Shinshu City would be a prosperous scene, but it turned out to be very depressed. There were not many people on the wide streets. Although the shops on both sides were open, there were no customers.
This situation is the same as what Li Qingxiu said before, but I didn't expect that Xinzhou City would still be so depressed after so long.
A group of people, led by Lin Zhe's men, walked for several streets before finally arriving at the back door of the magistrate's office. There were several boys waiting at the back door, and they all saluted when Lin Zhe's men came over.
When Li Zheng saw this scene, he thought to himself: No wonder this boy is so arrogant, he seems to have quite a status among the servants.
Lin Zhe's men nodded in response, then pointed to Li Zheng and the others behind them and said, "This is a gift of leeks for the second young master. You carry these leeks in and ask the steward to weigh the leeks."
The boys immediately responded when they heard the words. One of the boys turned around and ran to call someone, while the other boys quickly carried baskets of leeks into the magistrate's house.
Li Zheng and the others looked at so many boys carrying leeks, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this is the scene of a crowd of slaves.
When Lin Zhe's men saw that they had finished moving the leeks, they said to Li Zheng, "Some of you come in with me. As long as the weight difference is not too big, you can leave."
The reason why Lin Zhe's men did this was to prevent the difference in weight between pounds.
If there is really too much difference, he will detain the person and wait for the Second Young Master or the culprit, Young Master Zheng, to be punished. Anyway, he cannot let the two masters take out their anger on him.
Li Zheng, who was not afraid of the slanting shadow, said that he could go in alone. Li Lei, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang were afraid that Li Zheng would be in danger, so they followed him in together.
Other men also wanted to go in, but Lin Zhe's men refused and asked them to wait outside the door.
Li Datian was afraid that the men would make trouble, so he told them that this was the backyard of the magistrate's office and asked them not to make trouble, so as not to cause trouble to Li Zheng and others.
When the men heard that this was the back gate of the magistrate's office, they did not dare to make any noise and could only wait at the door with a look of fear on their faces.
At this time, several scales had been set up in the yard, and the steward was asking the servants to put the leeks on the scales, and then personally supervised their weighing.
It was not until half an hour passed that dozens of baskets of leeks were finally weighed, and the conclusion was drawn that the total weight of the leeks was 1,750 kilograms.
When Lin Zhe's men saw that the number was about the same, they let Li Zheng and the others go. As soon as Li Zheng and the others walked out of the door, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that it would not be easy to get out.
The men who were waiting anxiously outside were relieved when they saw that Li Zheng and brothers Li Lei and Li Dazhuang came out safe and sound.
After leaving the magistrate's office, Li Zheng felt that the leek trade had been settled, and the next step was to purchase the items that each household needed urgently.
