As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers who were watching the excitement suddenly burst into commotion!

The village head and several old people looked at each other in horror.

"Shang, tribute!? Yes, it is the "tribute" to the emperor! ? "

"Hey! Be careful with your mouth!! There are so many arrests here, you have to call the emperor... right?"

"Whatever it is called, shouldn't the point be that Yang Dalang's family's fruit really went to the palace!?"

"Yes, yes, so many officials and such a big battle, it must be right!! I really can't see that people are so powerful!"

"Hey! Then our village will become a treasure land of mountains and rivers in the future!!"

"Maybe it's true! No, starting this year, my family will also plant a fruit to see..."

After the villagers were shocked, they discussed heatedly, but the village chief and his legs were half weak first!

But Yang Dalang and Miao He were not surprised at all, and they asked and answered a few words with the county magistrate as if they knew it a long time ago.Seeing the magistrate of Su County happily during the whole process, he didn't play any official prestige, and after a few words, he introduced the high official behind him.

"This is Eunuch Fang who sent the plaque from the capital!! Brother Yang, come here and pay a respect!"

"Meet Eunuch Fang."

The old man in a bright red official robe gave a slightly haughty grace, and said with his hands behind his back, "I don't have much to say, and I don't have much time to spend at home, so let's kneel down and accept the order."

When Yang Dalang heard this, he pulled Miao He to his knees. "The grassroots obey!"

And the guards on the side had long since discovered that there were still a bunch of idlers around.It was not easy to interrupt the officer's speech, but at this moment he finally seized the opportunity, picked up the knife and pointed it fiercely at the village chief and his party who stood nearest and were also stunned.

"Who are you!? Why do you still dare to stand when you see the decree!! Hurry up and kneel down!!"

The head of the village was sweating, and with the last sliver of hope, he cupped his hands in disbelief, "Cao, Caomin is the village head of this village, dare to ask my lord, what happened to this..." What is the tribute, what is it? He, the village head, doesn't even know anything about it! ?Such a big event bypassed him, this, this is impossible! !

But before he finished speaking, there was another burst of shouting! "What do you care about!! Are you going to declare the decree if you didn't listen to Eunuch Fang!? What are you doing!? Are you going to punish you for being disrespectful! Only then will you be obedient!!"

The villagers behind were frightened by this, and immediately knelt down!

The village chief's face turned pale, "No, no, we kneel, let's kneel!! The grassroots are short-sighted, don't blame adults, don't blame adults!!"

So they pulled one by one, and they all knelt down deftly!

Only then was Eunuch Fang satisfied, nodded, took a yellow inscription scroll held by someone else, and read it out.

"Bong, the order of the Holy Palace of Dayu! The Dalang of the Yang Mansion in Miaojia Village, Miaoshui Town, Miaoshui County, Miaoshui County, has been blessed by my court. He has inherited the beautiful mountains and rivers, worked hard, cultivated peaches, persimmons, and pears... a special gift The plaque of "House of Tribute" is enshrined in the hall, and it is hoped that there will be no shortage or slack. With the mind of the Holy Grace, it is diligent and diligent, and it is respected.Yu Lizhi, encourage it! "

After the reading was finished, the guards behind quickly brought up a plaque, on which were clearly engraved the four large woodcarved and gilded characters of "Shanggong House"! !

Yang Dalang wanted to take it with both hands, but as soon as he touched the hand, the county magistrate Su who was waiting on the side reminded him kindly, "Brother Yang, just take it. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the plaque. But it’s untouchable, if you want to hang it, I will ask someone to hang it for you.”

That friendly appearance, as if he has known someone for many years.Yang Dalang and Miao He hurriedly led them to the center of the main room.In fact, Xu Huan had sent them a letter half a month ago, saying that the officials had left the capital and would arrive in the near future.Home is ready anytime.

Therefore, the arresting officers carefully hung up the plaque and properly took the "hard work fee" handed over by Miao He.The hot tea, peanuts and cakes prepared by Miaohe's family can be taken out at this time to quench their thirst and fill their stomachs.

Normally speaking, some families would host table treats, but Yang Dalang's family is famous for their fruit, and inviting people with fruit is the highest level of hospitality.Although there are no fresh fruits this season, there is still the peach jam made by Gongguo last year!Make a cake sandwich, it is a fragrant and sweet peach cake!The unique food that can't be eaten anywhere left a deep impression on the two senior officials, and they were amazed.

And because of the large number of people, the government and his party did not squeeze into the main room, and they all rested on the tables and chairs in the backyard.

Just far away from them, more villagers sneaked in while the plaque was hanging, watching curiously.

Of course the village head didn't dare to leave.He, he, he, as the village head, always stays by his side whenever a high official comes.

And when the group of official errands were eating and resting, the cheerful Su County magistrate patted Yang Dalang on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yang has achieved this. I am really happy and gratified. In the future, Brother Yang will If you have any needs or difficulties, or if you need help with farming, don't be polite, come and tell me, I will definitely help you find a way to solve it!"

I don't know if what I said was polite, I thought people just listened to it, but Yang Dalang surrendered directly.

"There is a small matter that I really want to ask the magistrate to decide."

For some reason, the village chief's heart sank.

Eunuch Fang at the side was a little curious and stopped drinking tea.

Magistrate Su was not angry either, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Let's hear it."

Yang Dalang's calm gaze turned to the village head who was cold-hearted and cold-footed.

"The village chief just came to say that due to personal reasons, it is difficult to take on the important task. Could you please trouble the official to make arrangements for this matter?"

It's over, it's over, people really hold grudges... The village chief's heart trembled.However, how dare he refute, people haven't opened up the matter yet.

"Da, Da Lang, you don't need it, you really don't need it! How can you bother the county magistrate for such a trivial matter..."

County magistrate Su really thought it was a trivial matter, and waved his hand, "What's the problem, I'll die..."

Among the onlookers, a man rushed out at this moment, shouting angrily.

"Yang Dalang! You are simply too insidious!! My second uncle is obviously strong and strong, so there is no such thing as a difficult task! Don't talk nonsense! I know, you must be because you hate your second uncle for letting you rent land. He was the one who framed him like this! Do you still have a conscience!?"

oh.How could such a small village have struggles?

Eunuch Fang and Magistrate Su turned their minds immediately, waiting to hear the follow-up development.

Yang Dalang was unafraid, and said clearly, "Your second uncle colludes with tax officials, threatens me, and insists on forcibly renting my family's land. Such a tyrannical behavior makes it difficult for him to be the village head. What I said before, was there anything wrong? "

Hearing that he was colluding with tax officials, County Magistrate Su's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the table angrily! !

"What!? Colluding with tax officials!? This matter is serious!? Come here! Let's take it down and ask!!"

There were so many arrests present, they all put the village chief up as soon as they rushed forward.

The village chief was scared to death, and immediately told the truth in panic and fear.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!! The little ones are nothing!! The little ones are just scaring people!! Never have them!!"

Magistrate Su nodded for his wisdom and touched his chin.

"Oh, it turned out that it was just scary, so the forced renting of the land should not be false. Well, Yang Dalang, I will approve what you asked! As for you, the village chief, you still have to be tried. Today This officer will take the person away along the way!"

"!? My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!!"

-

After that, the land where Miao He's family grows rice was successfully rented out.Just rent it according to their own ideas.

After all, the news about Gong Guo in Yang Dalang's family and the dismissal and trial of the village chief spread like a wildfire in the village that day!As for how and why the village chief was replaced, thanks to what Miao Guihou said, the reasons behind it were all guessed by the villagers! !Not even one of the old men who were friends with the village chief was missed.

When most people found out, they clapped their hands and cheered! !

"Yes! Sure enough, the village chief has colluded with those families long ago! I have long thought it was wrong!"

"That's right! Every farm work is done first by those companies! There are so many excuses, so it turns out!!"

"Yang Dalang really did a good job!! If it were me, I wouldn't have the guts to ask the county magistrate directly!"

"Is the family's status different now? I didn't see how affectionate the county magistrate is to people."

"That's right. I thought I was rich, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"This is a good thing! Let me tell you, the matchmaker in the town came to my house yesterday and asked if my house grows fruit!"

"In the town? Hey, it must be the light of the tribute fruit, you have to help the third child of your family take a good look!"

"Also, of course!"

Although in the end the village chief was sent back with healthy limbs by the officials.Collusion should be innocent.

But when he came back, he was visibly haggard.He was a little dazed when he asked anything, and his appearance was really lamentable.

So once the incident was over, when the villagers met Yang Dalang or Miao He on the way, their attitudes were very different.It's almost as if the confession is the highest leader, and they speak respectfully.Not to mention those who love to gossip, they keep their mouths shut afterwards, and they don't dare to offend others easily.

Of course, there are also a few rogue boys who want to sneak into the back mountain of Miao He's house, and see what the fruit that the emperor would like to eat looks like.But don't forget, after entering the mountain, besides the valley cut by the stream as a barrier, Yang Dalang also left an extra circle of wild forests around the back of the mountain, and set many traps inside.

Those who come to make trouble not only have to dodge the trap, but also have to avoid the noses of the furry old spirits!They are all dogs raised in the same soil, they are very smart like Dabai, and they are also very sharp and quick-witted.As for the first one to be caught, Yang Dalang didn't give him any kindness, and sent him to the official after twisting people.

This time, going to the government once or twice on official business has made the villagers deeply understand that people are really not easy to mess with.For this reason, some people who were moved to think carefully when they heard the tribute, such as those who bought cheap fruits with the love of their fellow villagers, and then sold them out, basically packed them up.

But Miao He didn't get involved in the thief matter, he was busy paying attention to the planting of winter wheat.

The weather was not so good at the beginning of this year, and there was not much snow this year, so that the winter wheat planted in autumn was not covered with heavy snow to keep warm, and instead suffered from frostbite.It is impossible to replant in spring, and Miao He can't help but care about his own family when he hears his second aunt talk about the situation of other people's houses.Ask everyone.Fortunately, this time they are all improved varieties from the soil, which are more frost-resistant, and according to the people who rented the land, their growth is better than in previous years.

After a little rest assured, April will follow.The family was busy for a while, and they collected pomegranates to make crispy plums.Now there is no need to worry about sales, and there is less pickling in plum vinegar.Only then did he finish his work, and another news from the town came back to the village.

It was Minchun who took the family's money, left Aniang and the man and ran away.
