Chapter 61: The Way of the People Returns
Chapter 61: The way of the person returns to his own life
The Mi Dong family felt that they would definitely be the winner today. They wanted to look at Song Jinggong condescendingly, but found that he was a little shorter than Song Jinggong. They could only give up this plan and replied with a smile:
"What did Mr. Song say? It's because I'm late and I'm so anxious. This is the money I brought. Mr. Song asks me to count it. This time I finally know that Mr. Song and the Zhang family village are both great charity people, and they actually started a business of losing money."
As Mi Dong's family was talking, someone had already lifted the box in the car behind him, but they didn't know how they made it. The box was opened, and there was a lot of copper coins and a small part of the factor, except for silver and some cloth. Everyone then realized that no wonder there was only one person coming out of the car behind him, and it turned out that there were so many things.
Not only the car behind, but also the car in front and the car Mi Dong’s family was riding, this time I bought 9,000 s of old grain, which totaled more than 600 taels of money.
Song Jinggong was not polite, so he asked someone to count it on the spot, and the sound of counting came from time to time. This situation made Mi Dong's face look a little ugly. He didn't say that he could find a place to rest, and just ordered the money. Could it be that he would be gone? He could still be worse if the number you ordered there was wrong? It was obvious that he didn't believe it here.
Not only did he think so, but the people watching around him also had this idea. Young Master Song had never done this before when he was trading with others. For those of them, the people who had dealt with Song Jinggong, they also became suspicious of those who Song Jinggong did not believe.
Just as the money was counting, the people arranged by Liu Zhitan also began to spread news among the crowd.
"Have you heard that? This time the people in the Zhang family were a little confused and actually did such a thing." A man said to the person next to him. The people next to him were together.
The man immediately continued, "Who said no, he actually exchanged new grain for old grain. Are they all stupid? Alas, I can't believe them anymore. If we bring us like this one day, how can we live without being as rich as them?"
"You don't know, right? I heard that the Zhangjiazhuang's grain cannot be used as seeds at all, and it does not have such a high yield. I bought grain outside just to prevent others from guessing that their grain was shipped from other places, so I specially used the guise of changing grain for others."
Another person from the same team also spoke. The three of them deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, but the sounds could be heard deliberately, but it was not small at all, so that the people around them could hear them clearly.
"No, I think their place is pretty good. Look, the people in the county come to them to buy cold peels, and they all make some money to subsidize their household income. I heard that they didn't make much."
A commoner from Sanshui County retorted a little unhappy when he heard this. The three of them laughed secretly. Finally, someone answered the conversation. The person who started talking continued:
"What do you know? Not to mention the high yield, even the auspiciousness is a lie. The county magistrate knows it now, right? It will be transferred away soon and go to another place to be a master's magistrate. From the county magistrate to the master's magistrate, isn't it being demoted? Zhangjiazhuangzi is over this time. I won't buy their things in the future, otherwise I will be unlucky."
"Yes, yes, I won't buy it anymore. I bought two portions of cold skin last time. After eating it, my stomach hurts. Someone who knew it said that there were a lot of dirty things in it, otherwise how could it be sold so cheaply? And that vegetarian oil was made from the soybeans. It's scary to think about it. Beans, too much eating will make you feel a little bit bigger."
Another person followed suit and wanted to fundamentally eliminate the Zhangjiazhuang business, while the remaining third person was looking at the dock and shook his head.
"I heard that when this wharf was built, a big snake appeared. It was a mountain god. They dug up other people's place. Now they see that it's okay. I don't know how many people will be unlucky in the future. I would rather buy things from other places that are delivered by carriages and horses than buy them on this wharf."
When he spoke, he deliberately made his voice tremble a little. The people around him felt sweaty on their bodies, and they didn't know who to believe. There was indeed a case of digging out snakes, and some even saw it with their own eyes. Looking back now, I feel that they are really a mountain god.
There are many people who are responsible for promoting such things. Not only many people know about it, but also those who are doing business also listened to it and became suspicious.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?" County Magistrate Cheng stood on the boat, and some people on the boat rowing by him told him the matter.
The entourage knew that he was asking him, but he didn't know that, so he had to call a small boat to jump on it, come to the shore, find Song Jinggong who was waiting for someone to count the money, and said to him:
"Young Master Song seems to be in trouble. There are many rumors coming, which are not good for Zhangjiazhuang. Do you know what's going on? Think of a solution quickly."
Song Jinggong looked around and found that someone was looking at him with a different gaze than usual. There were two or three people walking there in groups. Occasionally stopped to say a few words. Seeing this situation, Song Jinggong smiled and said to the entourage of County Magistrate Cheng:
"It's okay, who else can spread rumors at this time? Of course it's the Mi Dong family. I heard that there was a think tank named Liu around him. I thought he could do something good. It was this. Since that's the case, let's play the same thing as them. Xiaojiu, come here and follow what he said at the beginning."
As Song Jinggong spoke, he ordered someone around him. The man left immediately. The follower really didn't understand and asked again: "Young Master Song, are you thinking of this? What are you going to do? I have to go back and tell the adults."
"I have thought about it for a long time and I have never wanted to use this method. Since the Mi Dong family does not follow the rules, don't blame us for using the same method. Go back and tell the adults that everything is in control, and the masters in the village arranged it before I came."
Song Jinggong said to the entourage of County Magistrate Cheng, and looked at the Mi Dong family walking about ten steps away in front of him. The Mi Dong family also looked over at the same time. Song Jinggong smiled slightly and pointed at the surroundings with his hand, everything was silent.
The Mi Dong family was stunned when they saw Song Jinggong's smile, waiting for him to point him again. The Mi Dong family felt that the heat in their hearts seemed to have been poured into a basin of cold water, and it was immediately extinguished. They looked around worriedly, turned their heads over and ignored Song Jinggong, and said to Liu Zhitan:
"Brother Liu, that Song Jinggong seemed to know that the rumors around us were spreading. He smiled at me just now. What should I do?"
"The boss doesn't have to care. At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you can know that he did it on purpose and wanted us to be scared. Unfortunately, it's too late for him to think of another way. I guess he is in a hurry."
Liu Zhican still looked calm, as if he had even planned to do this. The Mi Dong family felt relieved after hearing his words and wanted to give Song Jinggong a smile, but found that Song Jinggong no longer looked at him.
"Sir, I found out that Young Master Song said it was arranged by the Mi Dong family." The entourage returned to the boat where Prince Cheng was located and said.
County Magistrate Cheng was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. "Of course I know it was arranged by Mi Dong's family. I asked you to ask him if there is any solution."
"Yes, Mr. Song said, don't worry, everything is in control. It is said that when he came, the masters from the Zhang family had already thought that if the Mi Dong family didn't do this, he would not deal with it. This time he arranged someone to do it, and it might be clear in a while." The follower said Song Jinggong's words almost without a word.
"Well, that's fine. I'm so anxious. If you have a master there, what are you afraid of? The master's methods are not something you can understand."
County Magistrate Cheng smiled on his face, changing his anxiety just now.
At this moment, Xiaojiu's movements began. Many people walked into the crowd and stared at the people who spread rumors. Before those people could react, they continued to talk.
"Have you heard that the rice in Zhangjiazhuang does not have that high yield, and they are all lie."
"Who said it? Why don't I know, hey, are you from Sanshui County? Why have you never seen you before? Which farmer? What's your surname? Where were you when I went to collect Chenliang? Do you know what my name is?"
As soon as the man said that, a person here said, and the person who cooperated with him also agreed, "Yes, why haven't I seen you in Sanshui County? And you? Could it be that someone was arranged to make trouble on purpose, right? I heard that Mi Dong's family is so unfaithful and wants to use the collected old grains to put them into the new rice, and then we will sell them to us when the harvest is not easy.
Zhangjiazhuang was afraid that they would make us suffer, so she took the initiative to exchange new grain for it. Where can I get new grain? All the good grains in the surrounding areas were taken away by the one who was named Mi and were sold to Zhangjiazhuang at twice the price."
"Really? I think this is true after hearing what you said. Otherwise, how could his Mi buy more than 9,000 stones of grain? Some of the grains are already moldy. He can't throw them away kindly, right? Then why didn't he deliver the good grain to us directly?"
A cooperating person said.
"No, it's not like this. Master Mi is good. He just wants to buy seeds at a low price, really." The person sent by the Mi Dong family was anxious and told the truth, and the people around him looked clear.
"What's true? Look, you were sent by someone surnamed Mi, right? Grandma! Don't try to argue. You will know after a look at the grain he wants to collect. Don't try to run away, stop, and catch them to the official."
The people sent by Song Jinggong did not expect that someone would tell the truth. Now that I can’t deny it, I can’t help but hold on to the clothes of the two people with my hands, and the people around me also helped angrily. It was so bad, and the one named Mi was so bad.
