Chapter 250 A Farce
She looked like she had a lot of money just now, but she just gave her a few copper coins.
Ten cents is not enough, I will give you more money.
Two taels is not enough, so I’ll give you three taels, looking like it doesn’t matter.
The moment she turned her head, her words completely changed.
In front of the officers and soldiers, the tall man had no choice but to give up. He opened his mouth and explained in a panic: "It didn't happen at all. She voluntarily gave us money. We didn't ask for that much."
"I give it to you voluntarily?"
Xia Qianqian put down her handkerchief, stamped her feet, and said angrily with a straight face: "You guys came here and didn't do any work. I'll give you a few taels of silver. You think I'm stupid!
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was choked.
Gong Xiaoba looked at Xia Qianqian with strange eyes.
He pulled out the sword from his waist and flashed it into the air. The bright sword suddenly frightened everyone so they didn't dare to say anything. "Who said it was going to be snatched openly? Many soldiers heard it clearly."
Grabbing it openly?
The tall man wanted to slap himself a few times. He just said it casually, but unexpectedly someone took advantage of it.
"Master, she really gave it to us herself." Although the tall man was reluctant, he obediently handed over the money.
According to past practice, if the officers and soldiers caught such a small-scale money fraud, they would just return the money, or at worst, they would take them back and lock them up for a day or two.
However, with so many people participating, the officers and soldiers still thought they would be taken back to occupy their space, so in most cases, they were released directly.
Gong Xiaoba took the silver, weighed it, and said in a deep voice: "Even Gouzi, one person defrauded three taels of silver, and forty people got one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Humph!"
He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Such a huge number of fraud cases has never been seen before. Pull everyone back, carefully investigate the many cases against them, and investigate them one by one. No mercy will be taken lightly."
"Not that much!"
Lian Gouzi immediately called out his name when he saw this unfamiliar official, knowing that he knew his details.
He waved his hands repeatedly, angrily saying, "It's three taels of silver from everyone. Besides, we're not here to cheat, we're here to work."
"Working?" Gong Xiaoba's eyes fell on Xia Qianqian.
She smiled, stood up straight, and said: "Master, I have a plan. Since they admit that they are here to work, let's go to the fields and try to see if they are suitable for work."
?"
"Of course, if they do a good job in the field, I will pay them according to the market price. If they don't do well, it is obvious that they are making trouble and come to me to defraud money."
This idea sounds really good.
Even Gouzi was overjoyed for a moment, and everyone else nodded.
"Okay, I will supervise it myself."
While they were talking, a group of people came to the field.
From afar, I saw ten big oxen on the ground, grazing slowly with their heads lowered.
On the ground next to it, there are five rakes.
The rake is two meters long, with sharp hooks connected to each other at the bottom, which looks complicated and strange.
Geng Zhong and a dozen people were already waiting at the edge of the field.
Xia Qianqian took a closer look and saw that the leader turned out to be Xue Tou.
However, he is not wearing an officer's uniform today, but is dressed like an ordinary farmer.
She instantly understood that those dozen people were probably not ordinary workers.
When Geng Zhong saw Gong Xiaoba running towards him with a group of people, he narrowed his eyes and understood something instantly.
He walked a few steps quickly, came to Xia Qianqian, and whispered: "How is it? I promised to refine three rakes for you, but Xue Tou worked all night and made five of them."
Xia Qianqian smiled and glanced at the person next to her, "What's going on? Does your young master expect someone to make trouble today?"
Geng Zhong smiled narrowly and said, "Young master is very thoughtful and naturally thinks carefully about the girl. This free labor will not be used in vain."
"Then let's begin!"
Xia Qianqian ordered people to put a rake on the ox, and then asked people to go down and pull the ox to plow the ground.
She looked sideways at Lian Gouzi and said loudly: "I am looking for coolies who are good at hoeing and cultivating the land. Since you are all here to apply for the job, you are naturally familiar with the work in the fields, so go ahead."
These people are usually gangsters on the street, specializing in bullying men, bullying women, petty theft, running errands and collecting accounts for others. Where has such work ever been done?
However, if they don't do it now and are taken to prison, they will surely reveal all the things they have done before...
They suddenly remembered their secret Jiang Meng.
He died in prison, in the hands of this woman.
This time, under the instigation of Lian Gouzi, they came to make trouble.
It was just making trouble. He didn't hit or curse anyone. He just came to make a scene and disturb her. There was no crime in the first place.
If the law does not punish the public, what can the court do to them?
Who knows why a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared. At this moment, they are simply riding a tiger.
There is no other way. If you want to leave, you must try to work. As long as you pass this level, even if you don't need money, as long as you can leave, you will be lucky.
So, this group of people, led by Lian Gouzi, bit the bullet and went to the ground.
Next, it is completely a large car accident scene.
Someone just grabbed the reins of the ox, but the ox turned its head and dragged him directly to the ground, where he was thrown to the ground like a dog eating shit.
Someone was responsible for holding the back of the plow, but as soon as the ox took a step forward, he leaned back, and an onion lay upside down on the ground, rolling into a little clay figurine.
Someone was not convinced, picked up a whip on the ground, and beat the scalpers.
These oxen were originally accustomed to living, and they were all temperamental masters. When they picked up the whip, the plow behind them did not penetrate the ground, and the oxen ran away. The people behind them were dragged to the ground, and they ran as hard as they could, and finally they were
I made a somersault and fell directly to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
……
It’s really so ugly that it makes people laugh.
The news that Xia's daughter wanted to plant cotton had already spread throughout the villages.
Recently, the news that Xu Jiang is eager to find someone has spread a lot.
Those who are idle at home in the village not only want to work, but also want to earn some pocket money.
But when they found out that it was the Xia family who was recruiting people, they immediately hesitated.
Why?
None of the villagers know what the Xia family is like.
Three years ago, a man from the Xia family disappeared, and his life and death are still unknown.
The reputation of the Xia family's daughter as being stupid spread far and wide. At the age of eighteen, no one even came to propose marriage. How much credibility can she have?
A family of orphans and widowers. Somehow, the girl of the Xia family fell into the water once, and her brain suddenly became enlightened.
There are also rumors among the villagers about what happened after her brain became enlightened.
But rumors are always rumors. Who would really believe that that silly girl can make things happen just because of some rumors?
While everyone was hesitating, Jiangjia Tea Mountain happened to be recruiting tea pickers, and these people couldn't wait to go to the tea mountain to work.
After all, the Jiang family has a huge business, so who else can lose a little bit of wages?
This morning, on their way to Chashan, they happened to see a group of dark people in the field in front of them, and they couldn't help but run over to watch the fun.
In the field, there are ten big oxen, five huge rakes, and a group of officers and soldiers guarding them. Looking at this whole posture, it is really amazing.
Just imagine, if someone wants to plant some land, they can still invite officers and soldiers to guard it.
