Gong, I'll protect you

Chapter 160 The Truth Revealed

Ding Page looked at an aunt standing at the end and asked with a faint smile, "Aunt, how many acres of land did your family rent?"

The aunt was dull for a moment and then replied, "My family also planted two mu of land, not too much."

Ding Page asked with a faint smile, "How about this year's output? If you take two loads of rent, will you have a good time in the coming year? Will the harvest be less than in previous years?

The aunt quickly shouted, "In the words of the young lady, this year's year is good and the grain harvest is bumper. Even if you collect two loads of rent, there will be more grain left than in previous years. The next year's days will definitely be better than this year."

Although the aunt's words were happy, there was no happy look on her face.

Ding Page became more and more confused and always felt that there was something wrong.

Not long after, the man who had gone out to chase Li came back and called Wang Taili aside. He didn't know what he said in his ear. Wang Taili's expression was not right in an instant, and his face was very ugly.

Ding Page asked directly, "Village Chief Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Taili was thrilled when he heard this. If Hao Fu knew about this, he would not be able to eat it and leave. At first, he thought that Hao Fu would not ask too many small things, so he directly let the young lady appear all of a sudden, so that he could use this to suppress those who were against him. Unexpectedly, he picked up a stone and hit himself in the foot. Now that the person has also been lost, he can only hope that the stew manager Li can't ask anything. At least his prestige in the village in the past few years is still there.

Wang Taili hurried to the front of Ding Page and replied with a smile, "Mrs. Hui, it's all some family affairs of the villain. It's not enough to talk to the young lady."

Since it is said to be a family matter, it is not easy for Ding to continue to ask. Then Ding Page randomly asked about the harvest of some farmers and how they reacted to the rent collection. After asking again and again, of course, it was all a good voice praising Hao Fu. Ding Nianzi understood it very well and would not have any sense of vanity. The reason why she did this was just to buy time for Mr. Li. I hope he could find out something.

Just when Ding Page had almost asked the farmers in the yard, and even planned to ask those people outside to come in to ask, Mr. Li finally rushed back, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he walked to Ding Page with a gloomy face.

Ding Page subconsciously looked at Wang Taili, but saw his face ashes. He knew in his heart that there was indeed a ghost in it, otherwise Wang Taili would not have reacted like this.

"Young lady," steward Li saluted Ding Page with his fist and said, "I just visited the village and knew something. I don't know if I should tell the young lady."

Ding Page said in a low voice, "If you have anything, just let me know."

stewister Li gave Wang Taili a fierce look and said in a loud voice, "I would like to report to the young lady, the total land rented by Haofu to Zhangwang Village is 360 mu. There are a total of 90 households in Zhangwang Village, among which 72 households rent the land of Haofu. The master has always thought that it is not easy for the Zhuang households to farm, so the rents are all It was the least, but unexpectedly, these saved rents fell into the mouth of the hungry wolf! Unexpectedly, someone pretended to be the order of Hao Fu and collected the rent at will in the Zhuang family's house! According to his subordinates, the master originally said that he only received one load of rent per mu of land, and the rest was the labor income of the farmers, but some people actually acted according to the rent collection method of others, and all the overcharged rent was kept by themselves.

Ding Page was angry, stunned his eyes, and shouted harshly, "How can such a thing happen?"

Manager Li answered in a low voice, "Yes, please ask the young lady to investigate and give justice to those farmers."

Ding Page stared at Wang Taili angrily, but saw his legs trembling and his body trembling. He didn't care about him. Ding Page only looked at the villagers who had just answered her question in front of him and asked heavily, "My friends, how did you answer me when I asked you just now? Is it possible for you to take these losses willingly? Is your blood and sweat so worthless? Why do you want those vampires to take advantage of you? Hao Fu is thinking of you with all his heart, and how do you think about yourself?

After a few words, the farmers in front of them lowered their heads deeply, but no one spoke. It was thought that they had been oppressed by Wang Taili for too long.

Ding Yizi snorted angrily, went straight to Wang Taili, shook his hand, slapped him, and scolded, "The moth! How dare you do such a thing behind Hao's back? I'm sure you'll spit out what you swallow, otherwise you won't be able to eat it.

What Ding Page hates most in his life is this kind of bully master. Wang Taili actually took the opportunity to take so much wealth in his hand. No wonder his little life is so popular. The blood and sweat of dozens of farmers supply him with consumption alone. Can his little life not be prosperous?

"Wang Taili, tell me from the truth. How long has this been going on? How much money did you cheat the farmers?

Ding Xiaozi usually looks very talkative, like a good gentleman, but once it is bad, it is definitely at the level of the Lord of Hell. Thinking that she dares to pick up a kitchen knife and cut people, how can she not look scary?

Seeing Ding Niazi's appearance that he wanted to eat him, Wang Taili was so scared that he knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly, "Young lady, young lady, forgive me. The villain just made the mistake of this year. There is nothing else, really nothing."

Ding Xiaozi sneered and said, "Wang Taili, you dare to tell me lies again! Just one year this year? This year's rent has not been collected yet. Where did you get so much money? It's just that the head of a small village has saved such a rich and noble family. Don't you think others are all fools?

Ding Xiaozi's voice just fell. I don't know where a woman who was about 40 years old came. She knelt down in front of Ding Xiaozi, clutched her clothes tightly, and prayed repeatedly, "Young lady, please forgive our family. He is just confused for a moment. If you blame me, you can blame me. It's all from me. It's a bad idea. Please forgive our family.

There is no doubt that the one who can defend Wang Taili like this must be Wang Taili's wife.

Ding Page frowned, looked at Aunt Tao, and said in a low voice, "Aun Aunt Tao, please pull her aside."

Aunt Tao answered and hurried forward to pull the woman.

Aunt Tao is thick and strong, unlike the woman who is thin. She hasn't done much work in the past, so her strength is also very small. Under Aunt Tao's pull, the woman was quickly pulled aside by Aunt Tao.

At this time, it is not the benevolent time for women. Wang Taili has sucked the blood of the farmers for so many years. How can a woman cry a few times?

Ding Page looked at Wang Taili with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Wang Taili, do you want to tell the truth, or shall I hand you over to the government for disposal?"

Wang Taili kowtowed twice to Ding's page on the ground and begged, "Young lady, the villain has really only done this for two years. The villain has always been loyal to Hao's family and has been working for Hao's family. It's a sincere heart, young lady, give the villain another chance."

Wang Taili has been rampant in the countryside for so many years. How many years has he not begged for a person in such a low voice? If it hadn't been for the high status of the person in front of him, he really couldn't deal with it. He would have asked his men to pick up the stinky woman in front of him! Let her mind his own business and let her bury him like this. Humph... It really made him lose face. How can he stay in Zhangwang Village in the future?

When he was angry, Wang Taili was still begging for the forgiveness of Ding Page. He repeatedly said that he was just a first offender, and repeatedly showed his loyalty to Hao's house, and everything was for Hao's sake.

Ding Yizi took a step to the side, far away from Wang Taili, and shouted coldly, "It's really a joke. You wantonly accumulate money outside behind Hao Fu and lost Hao Fu's face. How can you say that you are thinking of Hao Fu? I'll give you one last chance. Should I be frank and lenient, or wait for the government to arrest you?

Ding Page is not worried at all that Wang Taili will bribe the people of the government. As long as he goes to the prison of the government, he will have to get rid of his skin even if he does not die! Because the county magistrate of Taihe County is Hao Ling's uncle. With this relationship, it is impossible for the county magistrate to defend Wang Taili for a little money.

Wang Taili is not so easy to admit his mistake, and he is still crying and begging for forgiveness.

Ding Page is impatient to listen to what he is talking about here. The facts are already very clear here. What's the use if he doesn't admit it? If he doesn't admit it, go straight to the court and talk about it! Humph... Bullying in the countryside must make him get the punishment he deserves.

"Tao Bo, stew manager Li, let's go. The rent in Zhang Wangcun will not be accepted for the time being, except for this big pest!"

After saying that, Ding Page walked out of the door of the courtyard, but he didn't know where a three- or four-year-old baby appeared. He hugged Ding Page's leg and begged in a soft and cowardly voice, "Young lady, please forgive my grandfather. My grandfather is a good man. Grandpa often buys good things for me to eat. Play with me."

Ding Xiaozi looked at such a small child hugging his legs and really felt that he was pitiful, but as soon as he heard what he said, he suddenly laughed. In the eyes of children, it is so simple to judge whether a person is a good person or not. It just depends on whether he treats the child or not. From the perspective of this little doll, Wang Taili is indeed a good grandfather, but he can't be said to be a good person. He let his grandson live a happy childhood, but how many other children's childhoods were exchanged for?
