Depressed little landlord

"What happened here?"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone panicked, Lin Xuan couldn't help asking strangely, Xu Yang also frowned, but he still carried Douding into the room and put him down, and let him continue to sleep, while the donkey cart was led by Mu Mu .

Butler Hua had a gloomy face, Mother Xu opened her mouth to speak several times, and finally went to the kitchen to boil water for the two of them, leaving Butler Hua alone.

"Grandpa Hua, what's going on?"

Butler Hua frowned, and said angrily and dejectedly: "This God can't see you, young master, living a happy life!"

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang looked at each other, and then suppressed their anxious hearts and waited for him to speak.

Steward Hua looked at them and sighed, and then continued: "As for what happened yesterday, not long after you left, an official came to the door. He originally wanted someone to go to the town to look for you, but the other party said I can't wait, I just said that you are all gone to town... and I think if you call you back without even drinking the wedding wine, it will definitely be a joke, so we just want to wait until you come back today, that Yacha Just give up, who knows..."

Butler Hua became angrier as he talked, and didn't notice that the two of them were getting more and more confused as they listened, and accidentally changed their address again, "Master, you don't know, those people came to the door again this morning, and what's even worse is The conditions are more stringent..."

"Uh, Grandpa Hua, can you wait?" After hearing this passage, the only thing Lin Xuan understood was that an official came to visit them while they were not at home, but the content of what he said was unclear...

"Don't worry, can you tell us what the official said first?"

"..." Steward Hua slapped his forehead suddenly, and he suddenly realized, his face was full of shame, "Look at me, I am so patronizing and angry, I actually forgot the most important thing."

Thinking of the tone of the official officer yesterday, Steward Hua suppressed his anger a little bit, and told the two of them: "That's right, the messenger said that the tax money for our small lake and ten acres of land is due. Moreover, it was changed by the government, if we want to continue planting, we have to pay tax money, and added conditions, we need to buy the two hills around the small lake together."

Lin Xuan nodded to show that he understood.

"...and the top of the mountain is Wenyinqianliang..."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Xu Yang patted the back of his hand to reassure him, and said calmly: "I remember that it was not time for my father to pay? Why do you have to pay another one at this time? Besides, the two mountains are going to have thousands of taels of silver tattooed? Where is the official post?" ?”

"That's right!" Lin Xuan suddenly came to his senses after hearing what he said, and he was stunned when he heard the thousand taels of silver... "Grandpa Hua, did you ask him about the background of the other party? In the town, there is no reason to go to our house directly instead of looking for it, right?"

Hearing this, Steward Hua also frowned. He thought this happened suddenly, but now he thinks it's even more strange. It's the lord of our town, looking at him now, he's a face-to-face, so he shouldn't... But he shouldn't either."

As he said that, he shook his head again and denied it, "As the young master said, if the magistrate is the master, he should send someone to find you directly, so isn't it from us?"

Xu Yang lowered his face slightly and said in a deep voice: "Obvious thing, who in the town doesn't know Lin Er these days..." Seeing Lin Xuan's glance, Lin Xuan smiled: "It doesn't matter, left and right are just the same name."

Xu Yang paused, "Second Uncle's family has a happy event? If it was really an adult looking for it, it would definitely not be so obscene."

Lin Xuan rubbed his chin and said casually: "Not necessarily." Seeing that both of them were looking over, he tapped his index finger on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Think about the content of what I said, if I didn't misunderstand, it's really not true. It’s good to meet us face to face.”

Showing his small canine teeth at the two, "Don't blame me for conspiracy theory, this matter looks weird no matter how you look at it."

"No, this is indeed the case." Xu Yang took the words, his face serious, "It is said that the deadline for father's handover has not yet come, but now he suddenly changed it, and he didn't tell Xiaoxuan face to face, and the person is Grandpa Hua. I feel unfamiliar, if the law has indeed been changed, then why is it so? You can go to Xiaoxuan openly. Did the other party say when they are going to deliver it?"

"Yes." Steward Hua nodded. He always got his words off the rails before, but this time he quickly finished his sentence, "Originally, he wanted us to prepare the money within three days, but this morning he said that we can allow some more time. But the young master must hand over a thousand catties of salt at the end of summer, if not, take back all the land and deal with it as a crime."

"..."

Butler Hua looked at Lin Xuan, with anger and worry on his face. This added condition was simply a blatant way to find fault. If it was so easy, how could the current situation happen?The master and wife will not go early... "Young master? Someone can't see you! If I let this old servant know who it is, I will not spare him!"

Compared with Butler Hua's anger, Lin Xuan seemed calmer and thoughtful. "Grandpa Hua is right. It seems that there are indeed people who don't like me and want to kill me, but..."

"But what?"

"But those who can have grievances with Xiaoxuan, and when it comes time to put the other party to death, calculate it like this..." Xu Yang looked at Lin Xuan and then at Butler Hua, his eyes were cold, "Maybe something happened to my father back then. related."

Steward Hua's expression froze, and he screened out the relevant information in his heart, and his face sank, "It seems that this matter is really related to the master."

"Actually..." Lin Xuan suddenly said, and when the eyes of the two of them focused on him again, he slowly opened his mouth, "Actually, I have always had a question, that is, how did father think of buying that small lake in the first place?" ? Didn’t you buy it after a thorough investigation at that time? And since you have already bought it, why do you still have to pay tax? Is it the same as grain?”

Xu Yang also looked at Steward Hua. After all, he was the one who had been with Master Lin the longest, and Xu Yang came later, so he was not very clear about this matter.

After thinking about it for a while, Steward Hua also shook his head hesitantly, saying that he was not very clear about the details, but he only remembered that the old man rushed back one day and said that he had received good news. It will definitely become the first household in the town in one fell swoop, even surpassing the Qi family.

At first he was dubious, but later he came here with the master to check it out for himself, and saw that the lake was indeed very salty, and the county magistrate at that time also got the news, so he was very interested, and saw that Master Lin was very sincere, but he didn't like it. She was willing to give up her love and gave it to them, and after a few times of arguing, she finally gave it up to them unwillingly, saying that if the salt was produced, the Lin family would definitely become the number one official salt merchant.

Private salt makes huge profits, but it is filled with an official name, so the difference in status is more than a thousand miles?So at that time, both he and Master Lin were so excited beyond words. With that reward in mind, they invested 12 points of energy and material resources. Unfortunately...

"It's all my fault that I didn't try my best to prevent the master from causing the current situation. If I had been more firm, maybe the master and wife would not..."

"Then the previous county magistrate was promoted, right?" Thinking of the county magistrate he had met before, Lin Xuan just remembered that he had just been in office for two years, "Do you know that the previous magistrate was transferred to Where? From what I see now, I don’t think it’s easy here.”

Xu Yang's face was very ugly, butler Hua also stopped blaming himself, his face was dazed for a moment, and then became very ugly.Indeed, judging from what the yaman who didn't know where he came from said these two days, the whole incident can be regarded as a trap for them since Master Lin.

"But..." Steward Hua was frightened and angry, "The master and the young master have no deep hatred with anyone. Why is the other party so vicious and must put the Lin family to death? Does he have to be willing to kill the Lin family?"
