Chapter 210 Farming: Returning the Tenancy
This county magistrate is still smart, bandits were a serious problem to him, but now that the Su family has solved them, he is naturally not stingy with rewards.
This is the first, and the second is that the county magistrate is responsible for solving the bandits, and the imperial court will definitely reward them.
What he got was not just a few bags of grain.
Su Bei caught a cold because of the rain, so he caught a cold the next day.
The whole person was groggy, and his throat was dry and uncomfortable.
He told Su's father to return the rent paid by those tenants in full.
This will not only gain a good reputation, but also the Su family will not suffer.
After all, there are still left.
The precious son spoke, and he naturally agreed.
Father Su notified those tenants to come over.
Su Bei was wrapped in thick clothes and sat in the yard, sniffling.
Those tenants came one after another, but they didn't know what to do.
Because of the bandits, so far only the Su family and the county magistrate know about it.
Su Bei took a glance and saw An Ning.
An Ning looked at Su Bei with some complacency, she had already caught the handle of Su Bei, she was not afraid of Su Bei.
Su Bei coughed twice and said, "I called you here to talk about the rent."
Someone asked: "Is there still a rent increase? We really have nothing to pay."
As soon as the words came out, they started arguing in a hurry, and they all agreed to increase the rent.
Su Bei also coughed badly, so he couldn't stop them from talking.
An Ning stepped forward and said, "Su Bei, you are going too far!"
"Your family is so rich, it's not because of oppressing us people, if you have the ability, don't oppress us!"
"The rent has been raised, and I won't pay even a grain of grain."
Su Bei's cough was piercing, his face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word at all.
An Ning, however, felt that Su Bei was left speechless, and continued: "Don't think I don't know, your Su family colluded with bandits to harm the villagers, don't force me to find the county magistrate!"
Feng Xuanyi frowned fiercely, and stretched out his hand to take Xiaolian's upside-down tea and stuffed it into Su Bei's hand.
Then she looked at An Ning, "Enough!"
An Ning was taken aback by Feng Xuanyi's yelling, and called out in confusion, "Ah Hei?"
Feng Xuanyi said with a cold face: "Su Bei asked you to come to return the rent to you."
Everyone was shocked and asked uncertainly, "Really?"
After Su Bei drank the water, he got better. He said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, you just go to the granary with the servants to get it. As much as you pay, take back as much as you want, and I will give you an extra bucket."
As far as these village names are concerned, a fight is not a small amount.
They couldn't react, how could the Su family be so generous.
An Ning took the lead and said: "Conspiracy! It's clearly a conspiracy! I saw him give food to bandits yesterday! He must want to harm us!"
Then he looked at Feng Xuanyi, "Ah Hei, don't be fooled by him!"
Feng Xuanyi was a little annoyed and calmed down. She used to think she was quite smart, but now she felt a little stupid.
At this time, the county magistrate came, and he held his beard and asked, "Why are you cheating or not?"
An Ning was the first to say: "Master County Magistrate, the daughter of the people has something to say."
The county magistrate frowned slightly, "Say."
The corners of An Ning's lips curled up slightly, "Master County Magistrate, the daughter of the people wants to sue Northern Jiangsu for colluding with bandits!"
Everyone looked at the county magistrate, wondering how he would react.
The county magistrate's face suddenly turned ugly, and he raised his voice and said: "I don't know when the Su family who helped the county government to eliminate bandits became colluded with bandits."
