Chapter 598

The master and his wife will protect the young lady in heaven and will not let anything happen to the young lady.

"Miss, how could you be taken away? Why didn't you tell us when you went out? What would we do if something happened?"

Shi Sheng: "..." I won't take the blame. It's Ruan Xiaoyang who won't tell you, not her.

Qiu Shui had a lot of questions. From how she was captured to how she escaped from Black Wind Village, she asked them all one by one. In the end, she was so angry that she wanted to report to the official.

"These gangsters are so arrogant that even our young lady dares to arrest them. We must report them to the official."

"They are lawless to begin with." Shi Sheng said calmly.

What is the law of kings to talk to bandits?

Isn't this mentally retarded?

"Miss!" Qiu Shui said angrily, "Why are you still so calm?"

Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows, "What else can we do? Reporting to the official is useful. They have been surrounded and suppressed long ago. Don't waste your efforts."

"Then let's just let this matter go?" Qiu Shui refused to accept it. Their young lady had never suffered any hardship since she was a child. However, she was caught and taken to Black Wind Village this time. How could she swallow this tone of voice?

Shi Sheng was silent. If she told her that she had wiped out the Black Wind Village, would she be frightened and faint?

In order to avoid causing trouble, Shi Sheng decided not to say anything.

Shi Sheng gave Qiu Shui some perfunctory words and kicked her out on the grounds that she was tired.

Qiu Shui stood outside the door, her anger calming down little by little, but she was confused.

Miss, how come...

The previous young lady always had a childish temper. Although she had the temper of a young lady, when something happened, she would be the first to ask her.

This time the lady seems to have a strong opinion.

…

The Ruan Mansion is really rich. Not only does it have land, but it also has shops, and its monthly income is very considerable.

Such a huge fortune seems to have become the heroine's possession after the death of the original owner.

To keep these things safe, you still have to deal with the heroine.

Shi Sheng asked someone to send all the account books to her for review the next day.

Qiu Shui was even more confused, "Miss... didn't you like seeing these things the most before?"

When the master was here, he asked the young lady to look at the account books and learn from them, but she was not willing to do so. Why is she thinking about looking at the account books now?

Shi Sheng flipped through the account book, supported his chin with one hand, and said casually: "I don't want the Ruan Mansion to fall into my hands."

Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, you have grown up."

If she experiences something and makes the young lady grow up, Qiu Shui suddenly feels that it is not a bad thing, at least the young lady is doing well now.

The lady will be better in the future.

Chapter 728 I am a landlord (4)

Ancient accounts are not like modern ones. The system can get the answer as soon as the statistics are collected. You have to read and calculate each account by yourself.

And it was written in capital letters. When Shi Sheng finished reading it, he felt dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Shi Sheng picked out the problematic account books and said to Qiu Shui, "The shopkeepers of these stores have changed."

"Huh?" Qiu Shui was confused, picked up the account book and looked through it, "Miss, the shopkeepers of these stores are all old people. Is there any problem?"

Ruan Xiaoyang was unwilling to learn at first, so Qiu Shui was forced to learn by Ruan's father. She was reading these account books, and she didn't see any problems.

Shi Sheng pointed to several places where there were frauds.

Qiu Shui didn't understand it at first. After reading it a few times, he finally understood it. His face suddenly turned ugly, "Why are they like this? We give them the best treatment. They have been working in the Ruan family for a long time..."

"It's because they are old people that they dare to do this."

Ruan Xiaoyang is young and a girl, so these people dare to do anything.

"Miss, I'm going right away." Qiu Shui took the account book and went out.

He actually dared to lie to his superiors and pretended that their young lady was easy to bully.

The story of these shopkeepers quickly spread among the people below, and some people who wanted to make a fortune no longer dared to have any thoughts after this incident.

The eldest lady left behind by the Ruan family is not that easy to fool.

After sorting out the Ruan family, Shi Sheng had time to pay attention to the heroine.

"Has the rent in Baihe Village not been confiscated yet?" Shi Sheng called Qiu Shui over to ask.

Qiu Shui nodded, "We haven't collected it yet... They made a big fuss before, so we collected the neighboring villages first, but we heard that there were bandits in Baihe Village and all the food was looted, so I'm afraid we won't be able to collect much. Miss, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Shi Sheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go and show off with me."

"Ah?" Qiu Shui didn't understand the word "pretentious" and looked at Shi Sheng confused. What was the lady talking about?

"Collect rent." Shi Sheng changed his words.

"It's okay for people below to go to this kind of thing. How can you go?" Qiu Shui disagreed. Places like the village were very dirty and messy. There was no place for a young lady to go.

The most important thing is, how can a young lady, a girl who has not yet left the government, show her face to the public?

"I'm bored at home, so I just happened to go take a look. Let's go." Shi Sheng's tone was indifferent, but it was impossible to refute.

Qiu Shui looked at Shi Sheng with some doubts in her eyes. Why did the young lady become so strange?

She opened her mouth, trying to persuade Shi Sheng, but her eyes suddenly hit Shi Sheng's pupils. Those eyes were as clear as before, but less volatile.

It was a calmness she had never seen before, not containing any half-heartedness.

The intense emotions and the coldness spreading from the depths of his eyes made people feel chilly.

Qiu Shui froze on the spot, what's wrong with Miss?

…

Baihe Village is a bit far away from Baihe County. The carriage wandered for most of the morning before arriving at Baihe Village.

When Shi Sheng got off the carriage, there was farmland on the roadside, and some tenants were harvesting the few rice in the farmland.

As soon as Shi Sheng's carriage appeared, those people noticed it.

There was a sign from the Ruan Mansion hanging on the carriage. Of course they knew that this was someone from the Ruan Mansion, and they were most likely here to collect rent. However, when they saw Shi Sheng, who was wearing silk and satin, getting off the carriage, some people's expressions changed. Sudden changes.

"This is not that day..."

"Why did she get off the Ruan Mansion's carriage?"

Ruan Xiaoyang has never been to Baihe Village. The tenants here only know her name but have never met her.

The last time she came to Baihe Village, she didn't give her name.

Some tenants saw Ruan Xiaoyang being caught by the bandits that day. How could these people not be surprised when they saw her getting off the carriage of Ruan Mansion?

Ruan Mansion is their boss.

The village chief of Baihe Village came over after hearing the news. When he saw the former rent collector standing next to Shi Sheng, his mind turned and he probably understood who this person was.

"Master?" The village chief called tentatively.

"Are you the village chief?" Qiu Shui asked on behalf of Shi Sheng, "Gather all the people in your village and our lady will collect the rent."

He happened to be away on the day the bandits robbed him, so he didn't know there was something going on inside. When he heard Qiu Shui's words, he just felt embarrassed, "This..."

He looked at the villagers behind him and rubbed his hands, "My boss, it's not that we don't fight, it's the bandits from Heifeng Village who came to rob us this time. We don't have any food at home except what's in the fields. Can you please slow down?" , let us finish the winter..."

Qiu Shui looked at the village chief, "The Ruan family doesn't do things to perfection. We also know your difficulties, but you still have to deal with it."

There are so many tenants in these ten miles and eight villages. If those people hear that the people in Baihe Village have not paid their rent, will those people still start a riot?

When Mr. Ruan was here, he was very tolerant to these tenants. If the tenants were not successful this year, they could do it next year, but it was not impossible at all.

There are rules for doing one thing and one thing. Once the rules are broken, it will cause a collapse.

The village chief said sadly: "There is really nothing we can do this year. The whole village only has this little food left in the fields. It is hard to say whether it can survive the winter. Boss, just do your best and be kind, and we will definitely make up for it next year."

Qiu Shui was a little undecided and looked at Shi Sheng, "Miss, what do you think?"

"You said before that you would reduce rent collection?" Shi Sheng looked sideways at the village chief.

The village chief's heart skipped a beat and he said with a grimace: "My boss, the harvest is not as good as the previous year. We have nothing to do. After paying the rent, there won't be much left."

Shi Sheng's lips curved, "But as far as I know, the rents of other families are higher than those of my Ruan family."

The Ruan family only received 40%, while the others received 50%, which was a full 10% less.

The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't know how to answer. In his heart, he couldn't help complaining about the heroine who provoked this matter. What if the owner didn't rent the land to them?

"Ruan Xiaoyang!"

A cooing sound came from the field, and the heroine in coarse linen clothes came up from the field. Her calves were still stained with mud, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Qiu Shui naturally knew Su Hua. He had made trouble with her young lady several times before, but the young lady was kind-hearted and didn't care about her. She even scolded her and looked like she was the most reasonable person.

"Suhua, what do you want to do?" Qiu Shui stood in front of Shi Sheng, "Can you call the lady's name?"
