Chapter 220 Why is my attitude cold
The villagers stopped immediately when they saw these people.
These days, villagers who can ride horses are not something they can provoke, not to mention the arrogance of the opponent in this battle, which is definitely from the official background.
In an instant, all the villagers who had been vicious towards Wei Ruo just now became submissive, and Village Chief Wang also had a kind and humble smile on his face.
He walked up to the head of the man's horse, and asked respectfully: "My lord, this is Wangcun. Where are you going?"
The man headed by him wore a bamboo hat on his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was tall and straight, and his black robe exuded a sense of mystery.
He ignored Village Chief Wang, but looked in Wei Ruo's direction and asked, "Are you in any trouble?"
Hearing the hoarse voice, Wei Ruo recognized the person.
It was Zhu Zongyu who lived in his Zhuangzi for more than a month.
"I do encounter a little trouble. I don't want to buy the land in their village, and they don't plan to let me go." Wei Ruo replied directly.
"How do you want me to help you deal with these troublemakers?" Zhu Zongyu asked.
"No need, I think Ni's appearance has already solved my problem."
Wei Ruo didn't want to owe Zhu Zongyu a favor. She paid for his medical treatment. If she asked him for help now, she would owe him instead.
Hearing the conversation between Wei Ruo and the mysterious man, Village Chief Wang suddenly panicked.
He dared to be tough on this surnamed Xu just now, because he was just a businessman. If something happened to the government, there are so many farmers in them, and he doesn't need to be a cunning businessman.
But if this person surnamed Xu has an official background, then he would never dare to offend him.
There are also a group of villagers who are also panicked. They were relatively easy to handle when they looked at the young master surnamed Xu, so they dared to help Village Chief Wang to do the forced buying and selling.
So the villagers spoke one after another to disassociate themselves.
"It's none of our business, the village head told us to do this!"
"Yes, yes, we had a good talk, but the village chief was greedy, and he ordered us to do this!"
"We all listen to the village chief!"
"..."
The villagers pushed all the responsibility to Village Chief Wang.
Village Chief Wang came forward to speak kindly to Wei Ruo in a panic: "Mr. Xu, it was a misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding just now."
"Misunderstanding? Do you want me to help you recall what you said?" Wei Ruo said bluntly.
Village Chief Wang's face turned blue and white, very ugly.
Wei Ruo said to the villagers behind: "It's time for you to consider changing the village chief."
The villagers remained silent, with mixed emotions.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo left with Xiumei and Steward Yu.
Seeing this, some villagers who did not give up chased after him and asked, "Then Mr. Xu, the matter of buying mountain land that we talked about earlier..."
"Not buying." Wei Ruohui.
Hearing this, the villagers quickly said good things:
"Let's stick to the original agreed price, we won't raise the price anymore!"
"Yes, yes, we will not increase the price as far as the original price is concerned!"
"The words of the village chief cannot represent us, we are willing to sell it to you at that price!"
"..."
"I'm sorry if some things don't go well at the beginning, I won't continue." Wei Ruo was firm and unwavering.
After speaking, he stopped walking and left Wang Village with Xiumei and Steward Yu without looking back, leaving a group of villagers regretful.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zongyu followed with his own men and horses. When he came to Wei Ruo's side, Zhu Zongyu got off his horse.
"I came here today to ask you to get medicine. The people in Zhuangzi said that you are here, so I will come and have a look." Zhu Zongyu took the initiative to explain the reason for coming here to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo ignored him and walked expressionlessly.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo, and felt that Wei Ruo's attitude towards him at this moment was obviously much colder than before.
"Nothing." Wei Ruo replied indifferently.
"You have something to hide." Zhu Zongyu said firmly.
"Young Master Zhu, don't I need to explain something too clearly? You told me before that you came from a family of merchants, but now I see that your outfit is definitely not something that a member of a merchant family would dare to wear. " Wei Ruo said with a cold face.
Although I have been wary of this person repeatedly, I was still deceived by him after all.
Of course, I can’t blame others for this. If I want to blame, I can blame myself for being soft-hearted and saving others.
Hearing this, Zhu Zongyu's face flashed with guilt and guilt, but Wei Ruo and others couldn't see it because of the bamboo hat.
"Sorry." Zhu Zongyu apologized.
He rarely apologized to others in his life, but this time, he felt that he should sincerely apologize to Mr. Xu.
The situation at the time made him have to conceal his true identity in order to protect himself.
"Forget it, I saved it, and I took the money from you. It's pointless to blame you at this time. It's just that after taking the medicine today, don't communicate any more." Wei Ruo said.
"Why? Is it because of my identity? You don't like officials?" Zhu Zongyu asked puzzled.
"It's not so much that I don't like it, it's better to say that I can't get high. I'm a businessman, and you have a high position and power, so it's not appropriate to have too many contacts." Wei Ruo explained.
"You are not an ordinary merchant. During the plague, you and many doctors in the city risked their lives to save the common people. Your contribution is indispensable."
Xu Heyou's name was written on the public notice of the government office, and Zhu Zongyu had seen it.
"It doesn't matter whether you are an ordinary merchant or not. The relationship between you and me is a doctor-patient relationship, so there is no need to have too many contacts." Wei Ruo said.
After speaking, Wei Ruo left without looking back.
After returning to Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo gave steward Yu the ointment he had just made last night, and asked the steward to take it to Zhu Zongyu at the door.
"If he can't recover after taking the medicine this time, let him send his subordinates to come next time, don't come in person." Wei Ruo said.
"Yes." Manager Yu took the order and left.
At the gate of Zhuangzi, the manager Yu will be handed over to Zhu Zongyu: "Master Zhu, our son said that next time you can get the medicine, you can order the servants to come. You don't have to make this trip yourself. It's your fault."
Zhu Zongyu frowned. He came today to get the medicine and also wanted to meet Xu Heyou. He also guessed that the other party might be a little unhappy, but he definitely did not expect the other party's reaction to be so great.
Is there such a big difference between him and him because he is not a merchant?
Zhu Zongyu chose to leave after looking at Zhuangzi in front of him for a while.
Boss Yu went back to report to Wei Ruo: "Boss, Mr. Zhu has taken the medicine and left."
Wei Ruo: "Yes."
Steward Yu: "Boss, I don't understand something."
Wei Ruo: "Ask."
Guard Yu: "My master has a good relationship with Princess Jingmin. Presumably, he is not a person who dislikes the powerful. Why has there been such a huge change in his attitude towards Young Master Zhu?"
