Mr. Hu worked hard in the fields. At first, he would call for help from his servants and maids to serve him tea and water. After a few days, the servants probably saw that their master was in a worrying situation and that they might not even be able to pay their wages, so they gradually became less willing to obey his orders.
When Rongyu gathered the people together and returned their deeds of sale to them, they had no more worries. Everyone regained their freedom and was no longer under the orders of the Hu family. They held their deeds of sale and stared at Rongyu blankly. Someone knelt down first and called out "Great Lord", and then everyone knelt down, all of them grateful.
This scene was not the first time. Hu Yuanwai's treasure chest contained a large number of land deeds and sales deeds. Rong Yuzhi then distributed the land deeds to the tenants, and the farmland rented by each family became their own land. The faces of the villagers showed the same disbelief, and then they showed the same grateful reaction.
They felt that Mr. Wen was the best kind person in the world. They had failed to help Mr. Wen when he was in trouble, but Mr. Wen did not hold a grudge against them and even gave them land...
For a long time, words of gratitude were heard, mixed with apologies for not saving him when they first saw him. Rong Yu listened without any emotion, and did not answer a word. If Wen Yichu could speak, he would probably say in panic, "You guys get up quickly, we are all fellow villagers, you have difficulties too, I don't blame you" and so on. Rong Yu couldn't recite such lines, and accepted the worship with peace of mind, which was clearly a double standard.
He was born to be a king, above heaven and earth, with all things bowing to him and all living beings submitting to him.
If you want to make him admit defeat, you must first ask his flame.
Some people were sharp-eyed and noticed the shadow on the ground, realizing that Mr. Wen didn't seem to be the ghost that everyone thought he was...
No need for that. No matter whether they are human or ghost, at this moment, Mr. Wen is the god who saves them.
Rong Yu disliked their noise. He didn't mean to save these people, but the land was of no use to him and he didn't know how to farm. He didn't ask anyone to serve him. Those mortals were clumsy, and it was enough for Yan Zhao to take care of him. The deed of sale was just a piece of waste paper.
This would make the Hu family even more miserable. For them, losing their luxurious life with fine clothes, delicious food, and numerous servants, and having to work hard with their own hands but not even growing enough food for themselves, was more painful than losing their lives.
If the current class cannot be shaken, he cannot change the world situation, but he can still cover the sky with one hand in Yuexi Town.
With the Hu family taking the lead, it is easy to follow suit and solve the Jin, Sun, and Wu families at the same time. His methods are simple and crude, but the same routine is extremely effective. No matter how the three families try to resist, if they can't sleep day and night, a ghost or a head will appear in the beam, under the bed, or in the flower pot under the window at any time, and they will be oppressed by ghosts in their dreams... No one can stand it for long.
Within ten days, the Jin family had thrown away their weapons and handed over all their property deeds, such as house deeds and land deeds, with tears and shouts, and were driven away to farm. That night, the Jin family moved into a leaky hut. They had never lived in such a shabby house before, but it was the most peaceful night's sleep they had had in recent days.
They didn't see a ghost.
Five days later, the Sun family also gave up resistance and sent their belongings over, considering it as paying for their lives.
Rong Yu got the property and divided it equally in no time. He distributed the land to the common people and gave freedom to the servants, leaving nothing for himself. With Wen Yichu's personality, it is expected that he would not embezzle anything.
What a fool, Rong Yu thought secretly.
But the people need such fools.
The Wu family was the last to give in. Mr. Wu valued money more than anything else and had originally planned to fight to the end, but when he was frightened by a ghost and fell down the stairs, breaking his leg, he finally gave up.
It was a sunny day with a spring breeze blowing on his face. However, Mr. Wu felt that there were resentful spirits everywhere because of the ghosts that had been haunting him for several days. Even the wind blowing in his face was gloomy. He walked very slowly with a cane.
He had already inquired about the fate of the other three families. Wen Yichu did not kill them all, but let them farm all day, live in a broken house, and eat chaff and vegetables. Wu Yuanwai always felt that such a life was hell, but compared with the haunted house, it seemed like heaven.
Rong Yu happened to be walking outside that day. The sun was shining on the fields, and the farmers working in the fields were sweating profusely. When they saw him, they stopped to say hello. In the eyes of others, he was just a person walking, but in fact, there was a ghost named Yan Zhao beside him.
The road between the fields was narrow, allowing him to run into Mr. Wu head-on.
Wu Yuanwai shuddered and lowered his head, not daring to look. He thought that Wen Yichu was too powerful to appear in broad daylight...
This time he lowered his head and saw the shadow on the ground clearly.
… How can a ghost have a shadow
Mr. Wu immediately looked up: "Are you a human?!"
Rong Yu looked at him casually: "Huh? Did I say I was a ghost?"
Mr. Wu was speechless.
Wen Yichu did not say that he was a ghost. But how could someone crawl out of a sealed coffin? How could someone summon so many little ghosts to cause trouble? How could someone seal off the entire town
They were actually played around by this guy!
Rong Yu's eyes fell on the box in Wu Yuanwai's hand: "It's hard for you to deliver it to me even though you have a lame leg. You don't have to walk the rest of the way. Just bring the things here."
Mr. Wu held the suitcase tightly, with no intention of letting go.
He was the one who resisted the longest among the four, which showed how much he valued his property. He had planned to give up, thinking that humans could not defeat ghosts, and if he continued to be stubborn, he might die, but now he knew... Wen Yichu was a human.
What is there for him to be afraid of as a weak scholar
"So it's you who's playing tricks!" Wu Yuanwai angrily ordered the servants who followed him, "Catch him for me!"
The servant behind him did not move.
Wu Yuanwai turned around and asked: "What are you doing? Are you not listening to my call?"
The servants bowed their heads silently.
Wu Yuanwai looked at the farmers in the fields on both sides. This piece of land belonged to their family, and these farmers were his tenants. He shouted, "Catch him!"
The farmers held their hoes and no one paid any attention.
Mr. Wu was even more furious: "Didn't you hear me? He is a human being! Why are you afraid of him? If you don't obey me, I will take your land back. And you, you traitors, you still have the land deed in my hands... What are you doing!"
A servant suddenly stood up and snatched the box full of family property from Wu Yuanwai. Wu Yuanwai was leaning on a cane, so it was easy for him to be snatched away. His arms were empty, and before he could react, the servant had already handed the box to Rongyu with both hands: "Mr. Wen, this is for you!"
Wu Yuanwai was shocked and stared at Rong Yu with red eyes: "You bribed my people?"
"I didn't bribe them." Rong Yu took the box very naturally.
Wu Yuanwai didn't believe it: "Then why would they listen to you?"
Rong Yu said, "Oh, then you should ask them why they don't want to listen to you."
"Mr. Wen doesn't need to bribe us." The servant smiled bitterly. "The master always beats and scolds us, doesn't treat us as human beings, and threatens the tenants with confiscating their land without caring about their lives. That's how my sister starved... I've heard that Mr. Wen will give the land to the villagers and set us free. Why does he need to buy people's hearts with money? He is the people's choice!"
If you abandon your conscience, you will also lose the hearts of the people.
People who are blinded by greed will not understand such a simple truth.
That night, the four major landlords who had been committing crimes in Yuexi Town for decades were all destroyed.
The ghosts who participated in the haunting mission gathered together again, their appearance had become much darker and their souls were much purer.
After seeing the miserable end of the four major families, their resentment disappeared, and they all changed from the horrible appearance of evil spirits back to ordinary ghosts. They were all ordinary people in their lives.
Yan Zhao removed the invisible barrier that blocked Yuexi Town and said calmly: "Once your resentment is gone, you can reincarnate on your own."
The ghosts nodded, bowed deeply to Yan Zhaorong, and went to where they were supposed to go.
The resentment of not being able to take revenge has trapped the dead souls for many years, but now the souls on Yuexi Mountain are finally freed.
Two months later, good news came.
"Report!" The herald officer rode a tall horse, held high the imperial edict, and shouted, "Is Mr. Wen here? He has won the first place in the imperial examination!"
The farmers working in the fields left their hoes and gathered together, whispering, "What? Mr. Wen won the first place in the imperial examination?"
"Oh my God, our Yuexi Town has produced a top scholar!"
"Then Mr. Wen is going to the capital to be a high-ranking official?"
The people ran around to tell each other, and everyone's face was filled with joy, as if it was they themselves who won the top spot in the imperial examination instead of Wen Yichu.
Wen Yichu is now a nobleman in the entire Yuexi Town. He won the top spot in the imperial examination, and they are happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.
Some common people hurried to Wendao Academy to tell Rongyu the good news: "Mr. Wen, the court officials are here, and you have won the first place in the imperial examination!"
The man had a blank expression on his face, and even complained that they came too early and disturbed his sleep.
This was already clear in the plot, and there was really no surprise. Besides, it was Wen Yichu who won the first place, not him.
Rongyu: You won the top spot in the imperial examination, are you happy
Wen Yichu shook the candlelight reservedly.
Rong Yu: Don’t pretend you’re not excited. Your core is trembling.
Wen Yichu: …
Since he had been exposed anyway, Flame simply started dancing.
He didn't care about the fame, fortune and wealth that came with it, as this was the first step in realizing his ideal.
In his previous life, Wen Yichu was killed before he could wait for the results of the imperial examination, and he didn't know what his final ranking was. He died before he could realize his ambitions.
Now, he finally heard the good news.
Rong Yu sighed: "You are happy, but I am not."
He murmured, "I really want to rebel... No, I really want to revolt."
Wen Yichu:!!!
What kind of uprising! He is not a traitor!
The king does not meet the king, and Rong Yu didn't want to meet the emperor of this world at all.
The landlord class is the product of feudal society. If you want to fight the landlord, you have to fight the one sitting on the dragon throne. The development of history takes time. The Sheng Dynasty is not the last feudal dynasty in the world. Rong Yu cannot interfere with the historical process without authorization, otherwise the world will collapse in a minute.
The current emperor is a wise ruler, and with Wen Yichu as a wise minister, this powerful combination has created a peaceful and prosperous era, becoming a glorious period on the world's historical stage. Rong Yu cannot kill the emperor in advance, nor can he avoid the court.
But he would never bow down and humble himself.
It's difficult.
"You don't seem very happy." Yan Zhao said, "Isn't it good to be the top scholar?"
Rong Yu was not interested: "You know I am not interested in this."
He is content with eating, drinking and having fun.
Yan Zhao thought, yes, Rongrong is not Wen Yichu.
"It's okay." Yan Zhao comforted, "If there is anything you don't understand in the court, I can help you. If I don't understand it either, I will learn it and help you."
Blood Jade Bracelet: What the Lord God said before this great devil is, if not exactly similar, then it is also very similar.
"Who worries about that? I'm just annoyed by their etiquette of kneeling down." Rong Yu glanced at him with a haughty tone.
"If you accept my gift, even the emperor will have his life shortened."
