Chapter 2109: Summoning the Villagers

"You can go back without anything. I'm older and I'm a little tired after sitting for so long, so I won't keep you." The great master issued an order to expel guests.

Seeing this, several people had to stand up from their seats.

The patriarch respectfully said to the great master: "Grandmaster, please pay more attention to your health, so we will go back first."

"Go back!" The great master waved his hand.

The patriarch led the third master and the fifth master to leave the eldest master's house quickly.

After the butler of the eldest grandfather's house personally sent away a few people, he returned to the eldest grandfather's side.

"Master, the patriarch and others did this with you on their backs. Do you care about what they do? Whether they die or live, they are all troubles themselves." The housekeeper helped the eldest grandfather take off his shoes, put his feet on the bed, and pulled a quilt and covered it on the eldest grandfather's body.

The great master lying on the pillow said, "Who said I want to care about their affairs?"

"Ah!" the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You were not comforting the clan leader before. You told him that the fake thief official came to Xin'an County and had nothing to do with Zhengjia Village."

The eldest grandfather said: "How many families in Zhengjia Village have? A few of them thought they would block the thousands of mouths from Zhengjia Village after they had built a farmer's association and a few peasant soldiers. Do you think this is possible?"

"Master, do you mean that the fake thief officials came from Luoyang City to our Xin'an County, specifically for the things the clan leader and his friends did in Zhengjia Village?" The butler looked shocked.

The eldest grandfather turned his head and looked at the butler beside the bed and asked, "You haven't gotten involved in their affairs!"

"No, no." The butler shook his head repeatedly.

He wanted to participate, but he looked down on him, a housekeeper.

The eldest grandfather withdrew his gaze and said, "It's good if there is no. Don't get involved in their affairs. Do whatever they want. Don't worry about anything. Just watch from the side."

"But," the butler said hesitantly, "The pseudo-thief officials from Luoyang City really came for the matter of our Zhengjia Village. Will something happen to the patriarch and the two patriarchs?"

Hearing this, the eldest grandfather snorted coldly and said, "I have long looked down on me, the eldest grandfather. Why bother to be humble and get on with me? They want to die by themselves, so let them go! It will rain and mother wants to get married, so I will take care of myself!"

"But if something happened to the patriarch and the others, can our family escape? Will the fake thief official clean up our family together?" said the housekeeper worriedly.

I always have a vigilance against thieves like the tiger flag.

Upon hearing this, the great master frowned and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable."

"The young man is also afraid that you will not do anything, but in the end you will be implicated by the patriarch and the others. That would be too unfair." said the housekeeper.

The eldest grandfather sighed and said, "You can only leave it to fate! I hope that the person who came from Luoyang City is a wise man and will not implicate innocent people."

He was also afraid.

The one who came to Xin'an County in Luoyang City would cause trouble in Xin'an County. After all, he was a traitor, so it was not uncommon to do anything.

But he was also unwilling to let him help the clan leader of Zhengjia Village and others.

These people did such things without him, and obviously no longer took him, the eldest magistrate seriously. If these people were really made up, there would be no place for him, the eldest magistrate to be established in Zhengjia Village in the future.

After the Zhengjia Village patriarch and the third master and the fifth master separated, they returned to their home.

The great master's words did not reassure him.

Sitting on the couch at home, he felt uneasy no matter how he thought about it, and called the manager at home and told him: "Take one hundred taels of silver and go to the county town to see the gentleman."

"What did the young man say when he saw him?" asked the manager.

The patriarch twisted his beard and thought for a while, and said, "After meeting him, you told him that if the one from Luoyang City is coming to Zhengjia Village, please stop him, and the other party cannot come to Zhengjia Village."

"Go and go back quickly." The patriarch waved his hand.

"I remember the little one."

The manager should do his job and turned around and left the room.

When the patriarch saw that the person left, he felt a little more at ease and shouted to the outside of the door: "Where are the servants dead? I didn't see the master taking off his shoes. Why don't you call me the master's foot wash water?"

One night passed.

The rooster cried in the early morning, and the people of Zhengjia Village walked out of their homes and began their busy work.

Da! Da! Da! Da!

The bangzi was ringing one after another, and the middle-aged man holding the bangzi in his hand shouted in his mouth: "Each household sends a person to the wooden platform in the middle of the village. A quarter of an hour later, the third master will ask, who dares not to go to the rent this year to increase by 10%."

The middle-aged man who was knocking on the clapper shouted in his mouth as he walked.

Walk from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and shuttle through one alley after another in the village, ensuring that all the villagers in the village can hear it.

"What's this third brother doing? He's going to make a monster early in the morning." The fifth master complained with an unhappy look.

The people in the village did not dare to offend the clan elder, the third master. Even though the villagers were unwilling to do so, they rushed to the Mutai in the village in groups.

The wooden platform was built to establish a farmer's association. Later, the farmer's association was established, and the wooden platform was left behind. Any big and small things in the village would be conveyed through the wooden platform.

The villagers in groups of three or three came to the wooden platform.

Only the clan leader and several clan elders are qualified to stay on the wooden platform, so every time the villagers are convened for a meeting, several seats will be placed on the wooden platform.

Now the villagers have arrived almost, and there are only a few seats on the wooden platform, but the clan leader and clan elders have not arrived.

The villagers under the wooden platform didn't know what was going on, so they asked the people from the same village around them what the third master sent them to call them to do.

After inquiring, no one knew what was going on.

More than a minute passed, and the third master was late.

"Have you all arrived?" The third master asked the middle-aged man who beat the gong to summon the villagers.

The middle-aged man who was asked raised his waist and said with a flattering smile: "All have arrived, all have arrived, and the villains have counted one by one, and each family has sent someone here."

"Okay, let's go on with nothing to do!" The third master waved his hand at him.

The middle-aged man bowed and retreated from the wooden platform.

"It's all quiet, quiet, Master San wants to speak." A strong man standing behind Master San's seat shouted under the wooden platform with a thick voice.

This person is a peasant soldier from the peasant association.

Before becoming a peasant soldier, he was the thug at Master San's house, and he often did things to oppress the villagers for Master San.

The villagers under the wooden platform quickly calmed down.

The third master crossed his legs and looked at the villagers under the wooden platform with a smile and said, "Today I'm going to find you all, I have a good thing to tell you."
