After crossing, I spoil my husband

Chapter 134 [134] The bully rich man

The old Burton paused for a moment, shook his head, sighed leisurely, and said, "No, the waterwheel is not broken, it was just moved away by Lao Cai, a landlord in our village."

That thing is not fixed. After the other party moves away, sometimes they need to pick some water from a farther place for irrigation.

Hearing this, Fu Mingyou and others couldn't help but frowned: "Then why didn't you report to the officials?"

This thing is not for private use, but for people in a village. If the landlord, Lao Cai, takes the water tanker away, everyone can report it to the government.

"There is someone on the other side."

The old man smiled helplessly, and immediately looked at the crowd with a smile, and said, "Fortunately, there is another one in the village. You can go and have a look."

Fortunately, there is still a waterwheel in the village, otherwise all the land would need to carry water for irrigation as before.

Everyone looked at each other and followed the old man to the waterwheel.

While they were walking, the old man suddenly noticed that the waterwheel was very noisy. He stepped forward and looked anxiously: "Dahei, what are they doing here again?"

"Father, they want to move this waterwheel away."

Dahei is the son of the old man, and when he saw his father, he immediately said angrily.

The old man looked at the crowd, and then at a group of people not far away, and immediately said: "You have already moved one of them away before, and you can't give this to us. The other farmland in the village still needs to be irrigated."

Now that the weather is a little dry, the seedlings in the field need to be watered, otherwise the harvest may be affected.

"On your few acres of land, what kind of waterwheel do you need?"

The leading servant snorted coldly, and continued: "Master Zhou looked at your water truck. It is your blessing. If you don't give this water truck today, you have to give it."

Their master is the largest landowner in the neighborhood, with thousands of acres of fertile land, and the weather is dry now, so there is not enough water for that waterwheel, so everyone paid attention to this waterwheel.

Fu Mingyou stood not far away, his face so dark that it was frightening. If a few craftsmen hadn't come to him and came out today to take a look, would they not have seen this situation?

It never occurred to him that after the waterwheel was taken out, it would be stolen by the landlord.

"As far as I know, this waterwheel was distributed to the common people by Jinshang Ren'ai. Who are you and why did you come to rob it?"

Fu Mingyou stood up directly and said to the crowd.

The servants of Landlord Zhou's family looked at Fu Mingyou and his party, sneered directly, and said, "What does it have to do with you? Our master can use it if he wants to. It is the blessing of this village to be able to use the waterwheel in this village. "

Fu Mingyou narrowed his eyes: "Is it possible that your master's fortune is better than today's?"

"This waterwheel was originally made for the villagers. If your master dares to snatch it, aren't you afraid that we will report it to the government?"

Hearing this, the servants of rich man Zhou's family all laughed.

"Report to the official?" The leader looked at Fu Mingyou and sneered, "Our master is a relative of Cen Shangshu's family, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, do those people dare to arrest him?"

Fu Mingyou sneered, straightened his sleeves, and said: "I'm not talented, I worked with Cen Shangshu for a while, how could I not know that Cen Shangshu has such bad-tempered and bad-behaved relatives?"

Hearing this, the people on the opposite side paused for a moment, then looked at Fu Mingyou, and said, "Boy, don't be arrogant, you are pretending to be an official of the imperial court, this is against the law."

Fu Mingyou looked at the other party's appearance, and then laughed angrily, shook his head, and said: "It doesn't matter whether I am an official or not, but I know that you are all breaking the law when you are in front of the yamen."

These people also know that it is against the law to pretend to be court officials, so why don't they think about whether it is against the law to rob the common people.

"Heizi, please invite someone from Jing Zhaoyin."

Jing Zhaoyin is the yamen of the capital city, and Fu Mingyou doesn't want the people above to know for the time being, if the rich man Zhou is stubborn, then don't blame him for being rude.

As soon as Heizi heard this, he immediately took the token of his eldest young master in his hand, and was about to leave when he was stopped by the servants of the Zhou family.

"Heh, come and go if you want?"

The leader squinted his eyes slightly, showing a fierce look, "Since you want to ruin my master's business, don't blame us for being rude, even if you call the governor of Jing Zhaoyin, you still have to look at us Who is the master?"

"Your master is a landlord and rich man. If you want fame but no fame, and you are not a high-ranking official in the capital, is it possible that you are a land rich man and can be higher than the landlord and rich man?"

Fu Mingyou snorted coldly, then looked at Heizi: "Go."

Heizi nodded directly, knocked down the person who was blocking him, and quickly ran towards the carriage.

Fortunately, when they came, Heizi was riding a horse, and it took only a quarter of an hour from the outskirts of Beijing to the inside of the capital.

"Come here, chase me quickly, then he will stop me."

Seeing that Heizi had actually left, the leader shrank his pupils and said immediately.

The servants were a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "Brother Cai, we didn't come here on horseback."

How can these two-legged ones run faster than four-legged ones?

The man named Brother Cai kicked the opponent's leg fiercely, and angrily said: "Useless guy."

Seeing the direction in which Heizi left, Brother Cai frowned, feeling uneasy all the time.

Fu Mingyou looked at the other party's bluff, sneered, and then looked at the old man beside him: "Old man, can you tell me about the waterwheel?"

"of course can."

The old man and the others looked at Fu Mingyou with a gleam of light in their eyes.

He didn't expect that the young master he met by chance on the road was actually an official. Although Brother Cai didn't believe it, the old man believed it. Just now he caught a glimpse of the sign that the young master gave to his servants, it seemed to be an official badge.

He was lucky enough to have seen such a sign up close before, and it was indeed similar in appearance. Maybe this young master could solve the water problem in their village.

"Who allowed you to go?"

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Brother Cai was extremely angry. He was not doing well in this matter, and he would definitely be reprimanded by the master when he returned. Since these people provoked the matter, then take them back and bear the anger of the master.

Fu Mingyou didn't even look at him. In his opinion, these people are just clowns.He needs to find out about the rich man named Zhou. Since the other party is so domineering, he must have bullied the people nearby a lot on weekdays.

When he came in, Fu Mingyou was worried that he had nothing to do, so he might as well get rid of this bully for the common people.

These days, the affairs of the Hanlin Academy are almost done. He directly handed over the matter of updating the enlightenment textbooks to Xu Youan. They have known each other for so many years, and he taught each other everything he knew. It is slowly being promoted.

"Come on, take them back to me."

Brother Cai looked at Fu Mingyou and said very angrily.

The subordinates who were angered before immediately responded, and now that they have been angered, they must also anger other people.

The other people in the village saw that these people wanted to arrest Fu Mingyou and leave them, so of course they refused to let them go. Just when they picked up the agricultural tools and wanted to fight these people desperately, Fu Mingyou raised his long legs and directly grabbed Fu Mingyou. The person in front kicked aside.

"The kung fu of a three-legged cat, are you ashamed to show off in front of me?"

Fu Mingyou dodged quickly, and then kicked sideways.

There were not many people from the Zhou family, just seven or eight. The original intention of coming here was to carry the water truck, but they didn't expect to encounter obstacles here.

Craftsman Zhou on the side watched Fu Mingyou kicking these people away one by one from right to left, and was almost shocked to death.

"It turns out that Mr. Fu is both civil and military."

"As expected of a talent that several Shangshu lords are vying for, he even knows martial arts."

"My God, it turns out that Mr. Fu knows martial arts, we didn't even know it before."

"Don't tell me, Mr. Fu is really hiding something."

The craftsmen on the side opened their mouths wide and said a few words for a long time.

The old man who was standing not far from them heard this, and said in his heart that sure enough, this young master is really an adult, and these people are calling each other an adult, so he must be an adult.

No wonder the other party seemed to know the adult surnamed Cen in his previous words, but he really did.

After holding Fu Mingyou's token, Heizi rushed straight to Jing Zhaoyin: "I am Fu Mingyou's servant of Mr. Fu, and I want to report to the officials. My lord met a group of savage people in the suburbs of Beijing. Snatch the waterwheel, and let me report to the police."

Fu Mingyou's reputation was so great that even Jing Zhaoyin's governor knew about him. Hearing this, he immediately took people to follow Heizi to the suburbs of Beijing.

When everyone arrived, Fu Mingyou had already surrendered all the servants of the Zhou family, and tied them up by the way.

Well, now that I have a better name, I should be punished thirty times according to the law for beating an official of the imperial court for no reason.

"The weather is relatively dry these days, and this waterwheel can indeed be used."

Fu Mingyou watched the villagers stepping on the waterwheel, and then the waterwheel transported the water to the fields.

"Master."

After Heizi arrived with Jing Zhaoyin's men, he saw his young master sharply, and immediately called out.

Hearing what the other party said, Fu Mingyou smiled, then said something to the people at the side, and walked directly towards Heizi.

"Master Fu."

After Fu Yin saw Fu Mingyou, he immediately bowed his hands and saluted.

Jing Zhaoyin is only a sixth-rank official, but Fu Mingyou is indeed from the fifth rank. In addition, the other party is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and is someone who several ministers are vying for. Of course, Mr. Fu Yin will not think too highly of himself.

"Master Mo, please come here, thank you for your hard work."

Fu Mingyou remembered the other party, and cupped his hands towards him.

Master Mo immediately said: "Master Fu, you are being polite, I don't know what happened?"

Now that the other party has reported to the official, but the other party seems to be fine, just in case, you must ask first to find out the situation of the matter.
