Chapter 432
The middle-aged men looked at them one by one, and then the one in the lead stood up and said, "Take me to see your rice."
Boss Lu thought that this was the old man in the capital, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said, "Master, you come with me." The
eldest lord followed Boss Lu to the outside of the house and saw the rice pulled by more than a dozen ox carts.
He touched his beard and asked, "How can you two small farmers have so much rice?"
Boss Lu was a little weak-hearted, touched the back of his head, and couldn't speak for a long time.
At this time, his second brother came over and said, "These are all entrusted by the villagers to sell them, and when we receive the silver, we will give them some money."
The eldest man squinted his eyes and smiled: "You are really kind, but why haven't you seen the other villagers?"
His second brother continued to reply: "Now that the villagers are resting at night, they sent us to deliver rice."
The eldest lord continued: "When I passed by Cheng'an County, I heard that the rice in your village has always been sold to the Zhou family, how could you suddenly think of selling it to other people?"
His second brother slandered seriously: "The female shopkeeper of the Zhou family is a black-hearted trader, and the rice we have worked so hard to grow has been deducted by them, and they have not given us silver, so we have no choice but to find another way to live." The
eldest man touched his beard and glanced at the broken temple, and said meaningfully: "I didn't expect it, it turns out that the shopkeeper of the Zhou family is actually such a person."
At this time, the entourage of the eldest lord coughed lightly and came over and said, "Let's check their rice quickly." The
eldest lord looked sideways at Boss Lu, raised his hand and said, "Take me to see the rice." Boss
Lu bent down to show them the way, lifted the straw on the ox cart, then poked open the burlap bag, took out a handful of white rice inside, and handed it to the eldest lord.
The eldest master sniffed it, and then smiled: "It is indeed the good rice of the Zhou family!" Boss
Lu was uncomfortable when he heard this, and his body stiffened slightly.
At this time, the eldest brother of the Ding family came over and said, "Master, where is our silver?"
The eldest lord waved his hand to the attendant behind him, "Take the silver." "
Eight hundred taels of silver is a rare high price.
Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family were carried away, waiting for them to take out the silver.
At this time, the attendants carried a large wooden box from the ruined temple.
"The silver is here. The
eldest master smiled at them, and as soon as his words fell, Lu Laoda rushed over with a smile.
"Silver, our silver, haha!" he
said, hurriedly opening the large wooden box.
However, the moment he saw what was inside, he was stunned.
The eldest brother of the Ding family and his second brother strode over, "What's the matter, Brother Lu?"
Boss Lu pointed to the inside of the box, his eyes were dull and said, "Where is the silver?
"Stones, why are they all
stones?" The eldest brother of the Ding family suddenly looked up at the eldest lord who was walking towards the broken temple, and he strode after
him, "What about the silver? What about the silver you are talking about? Why are there only stones?" The eldest lord stopped at the gate of the broken temple and turned back to him and smiled: "You steal the rice from the village to sell, and you only deserve these stones."
He finished speaking, and bowed down to the ruined temple, "Shopkeeper Du, you can come out."
Du Bangchun slowly walked out from behind the stone statue of the broken temple.
She has been here since Boss Lu and the eldest brother of the Ding family entered the door, heard all their conversations, and saw all their greedy looks.
"Shopkeeper Du, why are you?" The
eldest brother of the Ding family turned pale, his eyes widened and he was stunned in place.
Others were even more shocked and panicked.
