"This young man, I'm practicing for a short time!"

Seeing Shen Mo doing this, the bitch shook her head disdainfully. He spitted at Shen Mo's back with a "smack" and then turned his head and went home without caring.

...

When Shen Mo was walking on the street, he looked at the crowds coming and going on the Tongzhou street market. While walking forward, he exhaled gently!

Now! The culprit was caught by him immediately!

This old man Zhao Ge was in his hometown, relying on his power as an official in the court, and he had reached this level! How could Shen Mo easily spare him?

...

After returning to the front of the state yamen, Shen Mo did not rush in, but sat down in a teahouse opposite the state yamen.

This is the gate of the magistrate's yamen, and it is the most lively and prosperous section of the street in Tongzhou City. Shen Mo asked for a private room on the second floor and immediately called a pot of tea.

He sat at the street entrance by the window and looked down, and saw that people came and went outside the gate of the prefecture, and many people working on the service and Xiao Li from the prefecture yamen were shuttled back and forth inside and outside the gate.

After a while, a doctor of tea came up and knocked on the door of the private room, then came in and placed the tea tray on the table.

Suddenly, a guard next to Shen Mo suddenly took a step to the side!

I saw Shen Mo's guard with a burly figure and a gray beard... This person is Shen Mo's father-in-law Mo Datong!

He is now wearing a guard uniform and is serving as Shen Mo's personal bodyguard. Shen Mo knows that this old man is a solid old man. He must have seen that something is wrong with the doctor of tea who came in to deliver tea!

At this moment, the doctor tea stretched out his hand, and the edge of his palm stretched out like lightning, pressing against Mo Datong's elbow! The movements of the two people's hands stopped in the moment of convergence!

When the tea doctor who was delivering tea raised his head, Shen Mo saw that this person was the little pelican Shi Baoying!

This guy has arrived in Tongzhou almost a month in advance. His responsibility is to help Shen Mo understand the situation here and prepare for the relocation of the brigade at any time.

Before this, Shen Mo was wondering why he had already arrived in Tongzhou, but Shi Baoying did not meet with him as soon as he entered the state yamen.

Unexpectedly, they met here today!

"I'm good at kung fu!" Shi Baoying shook his palm and said to Mo Datong with a smile: "If you see it's me later, I'm afraid I can't take my life!"

Shi Baoying is a very good person. He knew that Mo Datong was Shen Mo's father-in-law, so the flattery just now was just right, and even Mo Datong smiled with him.

So Shen Mo asked another guard next to him to sit down around the table with him.

Shen Mo picked up the teapot and filled the tea for the people himself. Then he handed the teacup to Shi Baoying's hand and asked, "Are you and your brothers okay?"

"Look! My son-in-law is at his level!" After hearing this sentence, Mo Datong couldn't help but secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart!

It was not seen for more than a month that Shen Mo met his subordinates for the first time. He didn't ask how he was doing his job, but asked them about the safety of their people first! From this sentence, we can see that Shen Mo's management level is much higher than that of his escort manager!

"Brothers are all fine, but things are a little unhappy." Shi Baoying took the tea handed over by Shen Mo with both smiles and took a sip to her lips.

"Tell me," Shen Mo leaned on the back of the chair and asked Shi Baoying to speak slowly.

"Before I come, you asked me to buy a large area of ​​land." After thinking about it, Shi Baoying said to Shen Mo with a serious look: "Later, you sent me a message halfway through that we had more than 2,000 more people and needed to add a larger area of ​​arable land."

"But during this period, I have been very unhappy in buying land. I have only purchased about 700 acres, which is almost one-tenth of what you need."

"That's not the price?" Shen Mo said to Shi Baoying with a smile: "What's the reason?"

"There is a wealthy family in the local area, a Ge Lao named Zhao... Haven't you just visited me just now?" When Shi Baoying said this, he raised an eyebrow at Shen Mo with a smile.

"I didn't see you just now, and you're very arrogant..." Shen Mo then smiled and shook his head. "It's their family," Shi Baoying continued, "This old man Zhao is so fucking nothing! It's just a little over ten years after he returned home, almost half of the land in Tongzhou was held in his hands. In order to annex the land, this old guy's methods were simply omnipotent.

Use it at its best!”

"Because of this, even if the local people have land in their hands, no matter how high my money I give, they will not dare to sell it to me."

"Let's talk about it carefully, what methods did he use?" At this time, Shen Mo held the table with his finger and said slowly. "What other methods can he have? It is to use usury loans in the famine, and use large and small buckets and mercury scales to exploit farmers." Shi Baoying continued, "If those farmers can't stand the famine, they borrowed their Hell debts. The donkey rolled in the profits, and they would never be able to make it for the rest of their lives.

Qing! It took less than three or five years to go, and the houses and fields all returned to the Zhao family."

"In addition, he also opened many gambling shops in the two counties of Tongzhou to lure those farmers to come and gamble. After a few times, everyone's family was destroyed..."

"In addition, his servants did all kinds of unethical things. They poisoned other people's oxen and instructed some unscrupulous doctors not to treat them well. Anyway, the farmers near Tongzhou who had some land and the slightly richer little landlords were almost tossed by him."

"That old guy has someone in the court and has soldiers in his hands. Those small farmers can't win the lawsuit even if they fight, and they can't fight to the death. Now he is the biggest harm in the entire Tongzhou!"

When Shi Baoying said this, Shen Mo remembered the tragic situation of starving to death the whole village the day before yesterday. He frowned and nodded slightly.
