Chapter 973 If You Don't Accept It, You Also Charge 30% of the Rent

The man on the opposite side didn't even look at him, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the servant behind him, "Get out. Is there a place for you to stand in my hall?"

"The visitor is a guest, Liudong's family doesn't know how to treat guests very well." Fatty beckoned the people around him to go in, and ordered the servants behind him, "Watch out, don't let people in or out until the matter is settled! "

More than 20 servants immediately blocked the entrance of the hall tightly.

Seeing Liu Zhiqiu's complexion darken, the fat man's face was full of complacency.

"Wei Zi, throw them out and block the light." From the innermost part of the hall, a clear male voice suddenly came out.

The tone of voice was obviously gentle and calm, but it was more dreadful than Liu Zhiqiu's toughness.

The group of people looked at it, only to find a corner they hadn't noticed before, the man in purple robe sitting gracefully reclining, his whole body was naturally elegant and luxurious, unparalleled in dignity!

This made the few people who came here suppress their expressions at the same time. In their entire Fangyuan County, they couldn't find such a powerful figure. What are the origins of these people?

And they took a moment to look at the man, and all the thugs who had been ordered to guard the door had been thrown into the courtyard, howling and screaming and unable to get up!

The fat man's face became ugly. When they came, they specially chose the strong nursing home at home, in order to give each other a bad impression first.

Now that he has failed to succeed, he has lost all face!

What's more, they didn't see how the opponent made a move at all. When they turned around, the servant thugs were already lying on the ground, and the only one standing with their hands behind their backs at the door was not theirs!

"What do you want Wei Zi to do? I can knock them down by myself." Liu Zhiqiu looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, very dissatisfied, and he couldn't make a move.

The man raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "You are the master, you don't think it's cheap to fight with a lackey?"

"..." After the price fell, Liu Zhixia walked back to his seat and sat down, looking at the few people who were still standing opposite him, "I released 30% of the rent, the farm is mine, the fields are mine, how do I like to rent?" Just how to rent, what's the matter with you?"

"You!—" The fat man blushed, and when he was about to speak, he was stopped by a man who looked like an official.

The man took two steps, and cupped his hands towards Liu Zhiqiu, Liu Zhixia and Feng Qingbai, "My official is Ji Hong, the magistrate of Fangyuan County, and Chuanjiu Village is also under my jurisdiction. If something unexpected happens, I will come over here." Take a look, I don't know who are the identities of these people, and where are they?"

Liu Yusheng and the others ignored his question. The second brother bought this Zhuangzi, so the second brother took care of it.

"So it's the county magistrate," Liu Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Liu Zhiqiu, an unknown person, I don't know what the surprising thing your lord said. Is it me that Zhuangzi Diantian only charges 30% of the rent? The law of Nanling stipulates that the proprietor Diantian Can’t you decide the rent yourself?”

"Not really."

"Then I'm surprised. Since there is no one, what do you mean by coming to the door aggressively and blocking the hall door of my house? Are you coming hard? If you are too hard, then you will be soft?"

"East Liu's family, don't be too willful!" The fat man's eyes darkened, "East Liu's family is not short of money if you can afford the Zhuangzi, but if you change the rent collection ratio of the tenant farm, that is a bad rule! Looking at the whole In the Nanling Dynasty, there was never any tenant land that only charged 30% rent! If you change it, you are stepping on the shoulders of all of us to climb up! You have gained a good reputation, but let the rest of us be scolded as traitors. The target of public criticism! There is no way to do things like this!"

There are many landlords and more tenants in Nanling. The news of Liu Zhiqiu's rent taking 30% got out, can other tenants sit still? Once trouble breaks out, they are the ones who will be in trouble!

"If you don't accept it, you still charge 30% of the rent." Liu Zhiqiu spread his hands.

"Hmph, there is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake! Is Dong Liu's family going to fight against us?"

"I only do what I want to do, so why don't you insist on treating me as an enemy?"

The two sides are fighting each other, and no one can convince the other.

And because all the manpower they brought were killed in an instant, and the other party would definitely not be an ordinary person who could take the guards out. What a nobody is nothing but deceitful nonsense.

Therefore, Fatty and his party did not dare to act rashly, and the atmosphere was extremely deadlocked.

Outside, Liu Tiao led a group of tenants, and hurried back with sticks to protect the Lord. When he rushed to the yard, he saw that the courtyard was full of people, struggling to get up, and everyone had pain on their faces. What a heavy hand.

At the entrance of the hall stood a man in black, with a chilling aura, as if he was in charge of the gate.

In the backyard, Liugen and Liuzhi, who heard the movement, also rushed to the scene with their two daughters. When they saw this scene, they were filled with anxiety, and suddenly they couldn't get up or down.

They were worrying for nothing.

Sitting in the hall was not only their boss, but also the magistrate of Yunzhou, the king and concubine of Nanling, how could there be no guards around him, they just didn't see it.

"I waited so hastily to come to the door, there is nothing wrong with Dong Liu's anger, I waited abruptly." Another slightly older man in Chinese clothes bowed his hands to the few present, and eased his tone, "We are all from Fangyuan County. The big family in the surrounding towns, my surname is Zhou Mingtong, this is Zhang Yuanwai, and this is the second master of Gaofu in the county. This time, I came here uninvited with Mr. Ji, not to tie the knot with Liu Dong’s family. Regarding the tenancy How about we sit down and have a good talk? After all, the matter is too involved, if we can discuss a proper way with each other, wouldn't it be better to have the best of both worlds?"

Zhou Tong's words were like giving the two parties a step down. As long as Liu Zhiqiu answered, the two parties could sit down and have a good talk, and the atmosphere would ease accordingly.

Outside the door, the Liutiao family and the tenants who rushed over listened to the words inside, unconsciously held their breath, and everyone expressed nervousness.

As long as Liu Dong's family nods, they will be able to make friends with these people in the future, and the matter will not cause any loss to him, and it will also bring him more benefits. Will Liudong's family refuse?

At this moment, the tenants really felt hopeless, they were the people living at the bottom, how could Dong Liu's family take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the local gentry and celebrities, and instead stood by their tenants?

Moreover, although the two parties said that the lease agreement had been signed, the contract had not yet been sealed by the yamen, and the owner could go back on his word at any time.

Liu Gen and Liu Tiao's family looked at each other, their faces all serious and dignified.

They believed in the character of the owner, but at this time they did not dare to promise the tenants that the owner would never compromise.

Once the rent reduction matter broke out, it would cause a big commotion in Nanling. They knew that the Liu family was already half of the court. In order to stabilize the country and appease the dissatisfied big and powerful families in Nanling, it is not impossible to make a retreat in the end.
