Chapter 133 Yong'an Village, Wei Chengyi's People

Yong'an Village is not very remote. The entrance of the village is only an incense stick's distance away from the official road, and it only takes half an hour to walk to the county town. However, they are very poor. The villagers all live in low mud and thatched houses. Even the village chief wears shorts and trousers that are washed white and patched up, and their original appearance can no longer be recognized.

"These are the exiled commoners assigned to your village. There are four households in total. According to the old rules, each household will be allocated half an acre of residential land and two acres of wasteland."

Ignoring Wei Jingluan, Zhang Yang pointed at Wei Chengyi and others as he spoke, saying that many people were exiled to Chenzhou every year, not to mention the officials like them, even the village heads under them were able to handle such matters with ease.

"Another exile of commoners?"

Hearing this, Zhao Dashan could not help but frown. If possible, he wanted to refuse. In recent years, there have been exiled commoners assigned to their village. At first, he thought that they were once officials and scholars, and everyone treated them with courtesy. However, he did not expect that most of them did not have the character of scholars. Not only did they like to make trouble, but they also stole things. Gradually, everyone became very disgusted with the exiled commoners.

"What? Do you have any opinions?"

Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Yang asked with a fierce look on his face, it's not that they didn't know some things, but with such arrangements from above, let alone a small village chief, even they, the yamen runners, had no choice but to accept it obediently.

"No, I don't dare. But why are there so many this time?"

There are four households in total, and it looks like there are at least twenty or thirty people. I'm afraid the village is going to be in turmoil again.

Zhao Dashan couldn't help but feel a buzzing pain in his head just thinking about it.

"It's not just your village. The rest are all from the neighboring Yongning Village and Yongping Village."

As he spoke, Zhang Yang stepped back slightly to let him see the people left on the ox cart.

"Ugh···"

Seeing that there were quite a few of them, Zhao Dashan let out a long breath.

"Okay, I've handed the person over to you, you can handle the rest."

Not wanting to waste any more time talking to him, Zhang Yang quickly jumped onto the ox cart. Not long after, he drove away with the other yamen runners.

Ok?
Not sure if it was her illusion, but Shen Xiangwan always felt that when Zhang Yang left, he seemed to glance at Wei Chengyi obscurely. Thinking of those Dragon Shadow Guards last night, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes. No matter how many minions the dog emperor had, she would make sure they never returned!
As if he had noticed her thoughts, Wei Chengyi tightened his clasped hands with hers and smiled gently when she turned her head. His smile dazzled her eyes in an instant. Shen Xiangwan suddenly felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat, and her mind was filled with lustful thoughts.

"Just follow me..."

After watching the officials walk away, Zhao Dashan couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to turn around, several tall and handsome men came quickly and knelt on one knee in front of Wei Chengyi. "Greetings, Second Master, Madam, Old Madam, Third Master, Miss, and Young Master."

They were none other than the guards Wei Chengyi had sent to Chenzhou in advance. As early as an hour ago, when the brothers who had accompanied him returned, they knew that the Second Master had arrived, and had been hiding nearby waiting.

Wei Chengyi’s people?
Everyone, including Zhao Yuping and her son, stared in disbelief, especially Shen Xiangyue. When she thought Wei Chengyi was already powerful enough, she didn't expect him to be even more powerful. How many people did he have? How much preparation did he make in secret? Did he know that the palace would be raided? How is it possible?

In his previous life, he clearly...
Could it be that he, like her, was reborn?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Xiangyue broke out in a cold sweat. If Wei Chengyi was really reborn, then he must know that she was the one who married him in his previous life. Is this why he doesn't like her? No, it's impossible. If he was really reborn, why didn't he stop the palace from being exiled? Yes, she must have thought too much. How could such a magical thing as rebirth happen to others?
It has to be said that Shen Xiangyue accidentally guessed part of the facts, but Wei Chengyi was not reborn from the first life, but the second life after her rebirth changed the plot. In his cognition, from the beginning to the end, the person who married him was Shen Xiangwan, and she had nothing to do with it at all.

"Chengyi, they..."

Coming back to her senses, Zhao Yuping looked at her son in confusion. She knew that he had heard the news a long time ago, knew that they would be exiled, and had made some preparations. She thought that at most he had gathered Qingying and the others and hidden some valuables, but she had no idea...how many things had he done in secret?
"They are also guards."

Wei Chengyi responded to his mother casually and waved his hand: "How are you doing with what I asked you to do?" "Don't worry, Second Master, it has been done."

Standing up, the guards made a gesture of invitation: "Second Master, please."

"Ah."

Nodding, Wei Chengyi took Shen Xiangwan's hand and said, "Mom, let's go back first."

"go back?"

Zhao Yuping was a little confused and couldn't react.

"Yes, go back."

Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he saw his mother lose her composure like this.

"Okay, mom, we just follow you."

Glancing at someone unhappily, Shen Xiangwan broke free from his hand, walked over, and pushed Zhao Yuping's shoulder forward.

Wei Chenghe and his sister looked at each other, then silently followed, leading the little cub. As for their donkey cart, it was pulled by their guards.

"No, you guys are together?"

Coming back to his senses, Zhao Dashan pointed at the guards and asked, they had come to their village about two months ago, and as soon as they arrived, they bought all the land from the end of the village to the foot of the mountain. Later, they hired villagers to help build houses, and the wages were very generous. The villagers were very happy, and even though they didn't say much, they had a good impression of them.

"Well, I'll have to trouble the village chief to take care of me in the future."

Holding Zhao Yuping's shoulders, Shen Xiangwan smiled and said that the village chief looked very simple and should be an honest person, and she was very happy to deal with him.

"Well, what's the point of caring for me? We farmers don't have to be so particular. We are from the same village from now on. If you have any questions, just let me know."

Waving his hand grandly, Zhao Dashan became more enthusiastic. It was not because they were rich, bought a lot of land, and built big brick and tile houses, but because they were willing to employ villagers so that everyone could make money. The land in the village was too thin and could not produce much food. After paying taxes, there was almost nothing left, and sometimes they even had to pay out of their own pockets.

During the slack season, strong laborers have to go out to work, but no matter whether it is the landlords or the gatekeepers, they all like to withhold their wages. After working hard for a month, it is good to get half a month's wages. However, the villagers work for them, not only are they paid in cash every day, but they also never withhold their wages. He represents the villagers to sincerely welcome them.

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Uncle Zhao anymore."

Shen Xiangwan liked to associate with such straightforward people, so he naturally changed his address from village chief to Uncle Zhao. After the meeting, he casually pointed to a guard and said, "You go and divide the land with Uncle Zhao. We will go back and take a look first."

"Yes."

They had already learned from the brothers who had returned earlier that the Second Master loved Madam Chong very much, and her orders were equivalent to the Second Master's orders, so they just had to obey them.
