Chapter 148: Is the County Magistrate Above Heaven?

d would no longer cause him to suddenly lose his memory or faint. Everyone felt relieved.But the new problem is, how can we make Li Zhensheng appear to be suffering from a severe headache, while in re...In a past life, she also went to a certain hot spring town, indulging in food, drink, and entertainment. That wasn't your average spending spree.

If this golden beach could utilize the hot springs, planting fruit trees on both sides of the mountains, building vacation cottages or small courtyards in the valleys, and cultivating large areas of watermelon and grapes on the riverbank outside the mountains.

When the time comes, spring will be a season for admiring flowers, drinking wine, and soaking in hot springs. Summer will be for eating watermelon and soaking in hot springs. Autumn will be for picking grapes and apples while soaking in hot springs. Winter will be for admiring snow and eating hot pot while soaking in hot springs...

Just thinking about it makes me hear the sound of silver pouring in!

The phrase "out of calamity comes blessing" is truly exemplified in this valley.

Everyone tossed and turned until the sky began to lighten, finally managing to get some sleep.

But as if he had just closed his eyes, someone shouted loudly, “Who are you Get out immediately!”

Everyone woke up in a start and scrambled out of their shelters.

At some point, a dozen or so strangers had squeezed into the valley.

Most of them were dressed in blue robes and caps, looking like servants.

And standing at the front was a young master, in silk long robes, with a jade hairpin in his hair and a fan in his hand. He looked like a scholar, but there was also a hint of frivolity about him.

Seeing the villagers crowding forward, this person frowned slightly and fanned their mouth and nose as if disgusted. Then, they raised their hand and beckoned.

A middle-aged supervisor standing behind him quickly stepped forward and asked with a hint of arrogance.

"Who's in charge here Speak up!"

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou immediately stepped forward, their faces cold as they replied, "Who are you This is our village, we don't welcome outsiders, get out of here!"

That official snorted, not taking their words to heart at all, and said dismissively.

"This place, our young master has taken a liking to. You better quickly pack up all this junk and move out!"

"Why This is our village, granted to us by the imperial court! Why should we be forced to move out!"

The villagers were all furious. Before Li Lao Si and Liu Biaotou could speak, they started shouting in protest.

In the blink of an eye, ten more young and middle-aged men squeezed forward, each with wide eyes and fierce expressions.

"What the hell are you, the King of Heaven"

"You just barge in and start chasing people away! Do you think Heaven's Martial Arts is your family property"

The official was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected a group of commoners to be so bold.

He raised his chin even higher and barked, "What are you babbling about I said move, so get out of here! Tianwu doesn't answer to us, but this land belongs to our young master's family! Our lord is the local magistrate, you lowly peasants' masters!"

An official's son The magistrate's son

The villagers all frowned and remained silent for a moment.

But the young master seemed to think they were afraid, or perhaps didn't even consider a bunch of peasants worth his attention.

He was delighted, fanning himself furiously as he watched the cascading hot springs waterfall tumbling down the mountainside.

"Haha, young master is just lucky. I dragged it for two days before going out, and my mother was still urging me. If I had gone earlier, where could I have encountered such a good thing One month, it won't take a month! Young master will make this place turn upside down and become a fairyland on earth. Haha, when the time comes, I'll invite relatives and friends, and find a few more beautiful girls. It can definitely be comparable to the Yaochi of the Queen Mother!"

He intended well, but the villagers became increasingly angry as they listened.

The village head, supporting a villager, stepped forward and said as calmly as possible, "Sir, this is the land allotted to our village by the imperial court. We were delighted yesterday when we unearthed the mountain spring and intend to build it up properly. So, we won't trouble you, sir. Please leave, we don't welcome strangers here."

“How dare you! Have no shame, do you My master is the county magistrate, you lowly peasants! Do you even want to set foot here anymore Don't think I don't know, you are all refugees from the north! Letting you breathe here is a favor from my master.”

The officer glared at them, his expression arrogant. “You say this is your place Who can prove it I could say you’re occupying good mountains and good water! While I’m still in a good mood, get out of here!”

The village head was furious, his face turning ashen. Everyone knew that the hot springs were a good thing. Their sudden excavation would inevitably make some people envious.

But they thought that they would have to wait until after they had finished building it.

To their surprise, on the first day of discovery, someone came to claim it on the second.

When he took out his household registration from his bosom, the petty clerk produced the permit and deed of ownership that he had issued.

"The land deed clearly states that the gold sand beach is located between two mountains on either side, with seventy acres of wasteland outside the beach. These belong to the villagers and are tax-free for two years."

"This is the deed granted to us by the Imperial Court. This is our village, and you have no right to drive us out. Even if the County Magistrate came himself, he would have to listen to the Imperial Court! Could a County Magistrate be greater than the Imperial Court"

The official seemed a little surprised, not expecting the villagers to actually have deeds. He frowned as he took the deed and permit, "Let me see... This is impossible How could land be allotted here It's so remote"

As he spoke, the deed and the permit were handed to him.

Then his face immediately changed, he glanced triumphantly at the villagers, and raised his hand to tear it up!

"No!"

"Stop!"

The villagers' eyes bulged in shock. Thankfully, Li Lao Si was close by. He leaped forward, grabbed the official's wrist, snatched back the land deed and permit, and then, yanking his entire arm, swung him around like a battering ram before flinging him out.

Everything changed so quickly, as if in the blink of an eye. The person in charge suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, leaving everyone speechless for a long moment.

"You wretch! How dare you strike me!"

"Beat him up We dare to kill him!" Li Lao Si shouted, "Brothers, loot his house!"

All the elderly and children quickly retreated, while all the young and middle-aged men grabbed their axes, shovels, and hoes and rushed to the front, standing behind Li Laosi and the village head, forming a solid wall of people.

The young master and his subordinates were startled, their legs turned to jelly as they retreated several steps. Only then did they summon the courage to bluster.

"You lowly dogs, I'm trying to reason with you, but you won't listen. Are you looking for death Bring someone back from the county office!"

Immediately, two little servants ran out of the granary, not knowing where they fetched a horse, and quickly rode away.

Mrs. Cui slept in the carriage last night and was woken up by the crying of her daughter, Jia Yin. Now she stood beside Mrs. Li holding Jia Yin.

She thought for a moment, then called out to Qiong's sister, "Go to the city and ask my brother-in-law for help. Today's matter is likely to be unresolved."

Qiong Sao's horse was ready, she quickly mounted and rode away.

That young master saw that Ms. Qiao was running towards the direction of Xin Du, and his heart skipped a beat.

He could be domineering, but he wasn't stupid. He also knew who not to mess with, so he changed his approach.

“Forget it, forget it. Who cares if I like this place I'm buying up the entire valley. Five hundred taels of silver, take it and go buy another piece of land to settle on. You can't grow crops here anyway, and you wouldn't know how to manage it. It would be a waste in your hands!”

Five hundred taels

The villagers all sneered, hearing this. This was treating them like beggars and dismissing them.h big eyes, her face full of grievance.This shield of hers, it seems like anyone could use it with ease!Li Laoer patted his nose and comforted his niece, "Second Uncle will buy it for you next time, a...
