Fang Ming chatted with He Yuqing for a few more words, and heard that he was just talking about the customs and lands of the world and never mentioned his recruitment. He knew that the head of such aristocratic family was arrogant and a little embarrassed, so he seemed to be resistant.

However, how can such talents be let go? Besides, if there is no obvious rejection, there is still hope. Fang Ming decided to pay attention and would rather invite him back. He would always change his mind when he asks for benefits day and night in the future.

Then he ordered to set off again, and this time it became much more harmonious. Everyone became their own people, and even Xie Jin's face became a little more gentle.

Fang Ming was halfway through the way and suddenly felt that Li Dazhuang, who asked to use the magical raid in Qingyu Village Temple, was shocked, but he still sent out his divine power and ordered to speed up.

As soon as I returned to the head of Qingyu Village, a figure rushed up and cried, "Lord! You are back, so I'm worried that I'll make my subordinates wait!"

When Fang Ming saw that it was He Dong, he asked in confusion: "I have only entered the mountain for more than half a day, what big thing happened?"

He Dong cried and bowed to the lower house, saying, "... Shortly after the lord left in the morning, a large family from the Zhang family from Qingxi Township came. His family was a landlord, and there were more than 100 acres of land in Qingyu Village, and more than a dozen tenants. Originally, the wheat harvest was good, so it was reasonable to collect the land rent, but they adjusted the land rent very high, which almost forced the tenants to destroy the family. Only then did they say that as long as they persuaded the village and destroyed the land temple, it would be reduced to 50%. Otherwise, they would follow this constitution in the future..."

Time goes back to last night.

The Zhang family is a big surname in Qingxi Township, but if you want to talk about the Zhang family, it is just a reference to Zhang Huaizheng and Zhang Dahu family. Zhang Huai is the head of the Zhang family, Lizheng and Qingxi Township ancestor Zhang Qingyun is his great-grandfather.

Zhang Qingyun had been a ninth-rank Gongcao, but he saved some of his family business and passed it down. He also served his descendants to his descendants to serve as the chief position in Qingxi Township, and was able to pass on his family. After his death, he was sacrificed and became an ancestor spirit to protect Qingxi Township. Naturally, he took care of his own lineage and gave him a lot of protection. The descendants of the Zhang family were also considered successful and managed the family business well. In Qingxi Township alone, there were 500 acres of land, which was considered a big family.

That night, Zhang Huaizheng was restless. Even the fourth concubine he had just asked for did not arouse his interest. However, he spent a lot of money to redeem the flower viewing building in the county town. He played and sang, and was very good at serving people. He usually spent the night with her. The concubine relied on her favor and refused to give up. Zhang Huaizheng became angry and slapped her to calm down.

At this time, the butler who had been looking at his face came up and asked, "Master, should you give me a bowl of lotus seed tea to clear heat and remove fire, it is effective."

The housekeeper has been with him for decades. If nothing unexpected happens, his son is also the housekeeper of the Zhang family. Zhang Huaizheng suppressed his anger a little and said, "I am in a state of uneasy tonight and always feel something is wrong."

The housekeeper rolled his eyes and said, "It's been a harvest recently. I have to go to the village to collect rent. Are you worried that the village below is not safe? After all, Qingyu Village was almost destroyed last time. The master has the protection of his ancestors, so there must be nothing wrong, but a gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall. The master can send people down."

Although the Zhang family is a big family, the rent is the top priority. In previous years, Zhang Huaizheng had to go to the village himself to supervise the collection of rent. However, the butler said this a little selfish. If the owner couldn't go down, he would ask his servants to collect the rent. Naturally, he could get more money. He also had a share of the butler.

Zhang Huai narrowed his eyes, grabbed something, and said, "What did you say just now, say it again!"

The old butler's eyes lit up, and there was a way to do this: "The old slave said, will someone else be sent to the village to collect rent?"

"It's not this sentence, the previous sentence."

The old housekeeper was really confused and said, "... The master is protected by his ancestors, so there must be nothing wrong..."

Zhang Huaizheng clapped his hands, "That's it. I'm restless tonight, I'm afraid it's my ancestors' warning!"

He ignored the butler's expression and ordered, "Prepare the lanterns quickly, I'm going to the ancestral hall!" The butler was confused, but he still obeyed the instructions respectfully and went down to prepare.

The ancestral hall in the village was built by the Zhang family. It is located in the middle of the village and covers a large area. It has three rooms, which is very grand. Zhang Huaizheng has something to do and his feet are fast, so that even the servants who carry the lantern cannot catch up.

I quickly walked to the main hall of the ancestral hall. The house was a brick and tile house, which was extremely solid and the ground was very clean. However, I didn't pay attention at this time. I saw that the divine lords in the middle were all fine, especially the piece of Zhang Qingyun in the middle was safe and sound, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the person who came in was a servant of the Zhang family, who was responsible for the ancestral hall. He lived in a side room at night. When he heard the host's house coming late at night, he quickly put on his clothes and came to serve him, and asked, "Master, do you want to burn incense?"

Zhang Huaizheng nodded, and saw that the ancestral hall was clean and tidy, and the altars were rich and there were no shortages. There was a cigarette, and he smiled and said, "Zhang San, you are doing a good job. Go to the account to receive the reward tomorrow... Since I am here, of course I will burn incense to my ancestors!"

Zhang San looked happy and quickly prepared the incense offering and brought it up in a moment.

Zhang Huaizheng picked up the incense, bowed respectfully to the ancestral tablet three times, and prayed silently: "Ancestors are above, if there is anything, please inform me!" He inserted the incense and said to Zhang San: "I will sleep in the ancestral hall tonight, you can clean up." He also ordered the lantern servants to go back to report the message.

"...Yes!" Zhang San quickly cleaned up his house and let his master live there. He could only go to the utility room for one night. There were only three rooms in the ancestral hall, one was the main hall, the largest one was the place to worship the ancestors, the left was Zhang San's residence, and the right was the utility room.

At night, Zhang Huaizheng tossed and turned, but he was not sleepy. After all, he finally fell asleep at dawn.

In the dream, Zhang San saw a figure, and he seemed to be his great-grandfather Zhang Qingyun. He was about to bow down and speak, but found that his body could not move anymore, and the same was true in his mouth. Even if there were thousands of words, he could not spit out a word.

At this time, the figure walked in front of him and didn't say anything. He wrote a few words on the ground with his fingers. It seemed to be extremely laborious, the handwriting was blurred and very slowly.

Zhang Huaizheng widened his eyes and finally saw the words "Qingyu...land...dangerous". He wanted to look at it again, but he heard a rooster crow and opened his eyes. It turned out that it was already dawn.

He knew some secrets and understood that the ancestor spirit had the ability to warn him, but there were many restrictions and it was very expensive. It was already quite good that his ancestors could give five words. This was also a great waste of luck. Within ten years, there would be no more dream-holding ability.

If you have this consumption, it is definitely a great thing. I won’t say much. When I get home, I just chew these five words over and over.

When he got home, he saw that he was preparing breakfast. When his wife Zhang saw it, she smiled and said, "I was about to send someone to invite the master, but I came back unexpectedly and just happened to have a meal together."

Zhang Huai was wavering his hand and said, "You use it first. I'll go to the study room. You go and call Lao Zhang. I have something to ask."

Regardless of the wife's surprised expression, he came to the study. Not long after, the housekeeper Lao Zhang arrived. He bowed and said, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Huaizheng said "Yes" and asked: "You are well-informed, do you know what's wrong with Qingyu Village recently? It's related to the land?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and replied: "If you want to talk about a big thing, it must be that the ghosts attacked the village more than a month ago. Almost half of the people died. The master planned to buy some land at that time, but unfortunately, the old man Zhengsu of Xincun refused."

"It's not this, what else?" Zhang Huaizheng thought about it and asked again.

The butler's eyes lit up and said, "At the moment, a ancestral spirit has emerged in Qingyu Village, called the Land God. It is very famous and it is also very effective. It has spread all over the villages. Even the altars have been changed into temples, but I don't know that the ancestral spirit can only guard one place. These fools... Master, are you ridiculous?"

Zhang Huaizheng slapped his thigh and said, "That's it!" He thought about it again and asked, "Will there be people in our countryside who believe?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but later I heard that I could give birth to a child and ensure a good harvest. Several families believed it. They went to carve a wooden statue and worship at home!"

"Nothing!" Zhang Huai's face turned red with anger, "There are ancestors who don't worship, but go to worship such unknown people." This tone made the butler shrink his neck and know that the master was really angry.

At this time, Zhang Huaizheng laughed out loud and said, "You can still send children and ensure a good harvest, haha... I am familiar with the wealthy families in the county and have been to the mansion. I have never heard of any ancestor spirit with this power. The God of Land, hehe..."

He said again: "Go and send me the news, and it is forbidden to worship the land god again. If I find out for me, be careful of family law and serve me!" These words almost burst out from my teeth, which made people feel heartbroken. He had already figured out that what the ancestors warned was this matter. The land god robbed the incense of his ancestors, and he would immediately become a mortal enemy.

The housekeeper also looked pale, and he knew that if he opened a ancestral hall and asked for family law, it would be possible to kill people, and the county generally did not care about this matter.

Just as I was about to quit, I heard Zhang Huaizheng say, "Don't you want to go to Qingyu Village to collect land rent? Go! Take a few more village managers and receive 80% of the rent for me. Tell them that if you still want to plant my Zhang family's land, you will demolish the land temple for me!"

The housekeeper trembled and wanted to kneel down to express his loyalty to the master, saying that he had no intention of this, and wanted to say that this matter was not in accordance with the rules. At this time, when he saw the master's eyes emitting cold light, he suddenly felt cold and swallowed everything. He kowtowed and said, "Yes, I will do this!" He half-beared and carefully retreated.

The housekeeper Lao Zhang was out of the room and thought about it but he didn't know the details, but it must be related to last night. This association was a bit convincing and I felt sure. I first instructed the servants to release the news. Then I then ordered the clerk to go to Qingyu Village.

At this time, the countryside was not peaceful. The wealthy families had Zhuang Dian and Zhang's family. The same was true for this. They didn't farm and their family members were also raised by the Zhang family. They were treated very well. They only patrol the village, and they usually danced with knives and rods, and made muscles and bones. The food was also improved. Zhang Huaizheng also went to the county and asked the martial artist to come down to spend a month's martial arts. At this time, they were all extremely strong and powerful.

When people around him saw it, they didn’t think it was a rent-collecting person, but they seemed to be just trying to make trouble.

The group arrived at Qingyu Village and called the tenants. There were more than a dozen households, accounting for almost half of Qingyu Village. Of course, it was only the poorest half. After all, they had enough land to eat, so who would become a tenant?

There are more than 300 acres of land around Qingyu Village, and the Zhao family accounts for one-third, and they have the right to speak in the village. When the intentions of the future are mentioned, the tenants will be in a big uproar.

Qi Da was also a tenant from the Zhao family. At this time, he came out timidly, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "You are so kind to me, don't you usually charge 50% of the money? We have to pay the imperial taxes, so I really can't afford it. I'll ask the master to give you a way out!"

The housekeeper sneered and said, "Since this place belongs to the Zhang family, the master said that it would be as much as you pay, but if you want to be the same as in previous years, you can do it. The master told me that as long as the land temple is destroyed, 50% of the rent will be restored."

Someone shouted now: "How can that be done? Land Temple saves life..."

The butler smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it just like this when I used an altar? Just destroy the land temple. Keep the altar and you can still protect you!"

Qi Da looked at Zhuang Ding behind the housekeeper, shrank his neck and whispered: "But we are just such a few people, and the rest of the village will not agree..."

The butler's eyes lit up. The man's bones were soft and he knew that he had led the way. As long as he forced Qi Da to take the lead and let him destroy the Land Temple, this was the internal affairs of Qingyu Village. He not only did the job beautifully, but also took out the main relationship from it. After all, he heard that the Land God was very powerful, so he was a little guilty.

At the moment, you were very stern, "You are also a villager in Qingyu. Go and destroy the Land Temple for me. Don't worry, you will be beneficial!"
