Chapter 929: more and more outrageous
Chapter 929 The more you talk, the more outrageous
"Of course, stop dawdling, we also want to let the court collect a little more autumn tax next year and contribute to the court, don't say we are insatiable. By the way, we will not give you the money for the time being, we have to wait for next year's rice and wheat After the harvest. You have always regarded us as unpleasant. If you give us fake grain seeds, and after a few months, the high-yielding grains will not grow, wouldn’t we have suffered a big loss?”
Li Zheng saw that the more they talked, the more outrageous they were, and he shouted loudly: "What nonsense are you two talking about? Keep talking, be careful that you have another prison disaster!"
Mr. Gao curled his lips in disdain, and said disdainfully, "Lizheng, don't scare me, I know you've been standing with Murong's house, and I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. You can abuse your power and send me to jail."
Li was righteous: "He is not abusing his power. If you keep talking, he can send you in justifiably."
Gao was taken aback, "Why?"
Murong Lingran smiled and said: "Aunt Gao, I know that someone behind you must give you advice this time. For the sake of a village, let me explain to you that officials treated the people unequally and caused losses to the court. Neglect, but my dad didn't do anything."
"I am the daughter who is responsible for the high-yield seeds. Everyone in Lihua Village knows this. I won't sell it to you, it's none of his business, it's all my idea."
"As for what you said about starving to death, the head of Aunt Gao works in the city and has a stable income, so it's impossible for their family. As for Aunt Gao, your family, I know it's impossible, because your family got a fortune last year. The windfall has not been spent yet, and your family is far better off than most of the families who got high-yielding rice seeds."
Mr. Gao was stunned for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "You..."
"You want to ask how I know, right?" Murong interrupted her, smiling, "You have to ask your good grandson, I heard that he has been showing off with the children in the same village recently. He has money in his family, and said he heard his uncle Mo Ershan say that he had a fortune when his aunt Qiu Xiaoru fell down last time."
"His family is now the richest family apart from my family and Lizheng's family. Let the children take him as the boss and listen to him, otherwise he will not give them anything to eat. During this time Your grandson asks for pocket money more frequently than before, you probably didn't notice anything, did you?"
Mr. Gao's face suddenly turned ashen, Mo Xiaochun dared to say this outside, was he going to kill her!
Murong Lingran continued: "You and I both know Du Ming where the money Mo Xiaochun said came from. I won't settle this account with you for the time being."
After finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Gao again: "Aunt Xiao Gao, you said that if our family doesn't sell you seeds, the imperial court will collect one less autumn tax next year, right?"
"Isn't it right?"
Murong Lingran smiled and said: "Of course it's not right, the seeds in my hand are not unlimited, I won't plant them for you, I can plant them myself, isn't it the same if I pay the autumn tax. You know, my family's There are many fields, and I still don’t know if I can fully plant the fields of my house.”
Xiao Gao was instantly overjoyed, as if he had caught the loophole in her words again, and exclaimed: "Your father is an official, and there is no need to pay taxes for the 100 acres of land under his name."
