Chapter 220 Why are you so cold towards me?
The villagers stopped immediately when they saw these people.
These days, villagers like them are not the ones who can provoke anyone who can ride a horse, not to mention the momentum of the other party in this battle, he must have an official background.
In an instant, all the villagers who had been looking fiercely at Wei Ruo just now became submissive, and Village Chief Wang's face also changed to a kind and humble smile.
He walked up to the leading man's horse and asked respectfully: "My lord, this is Wangcun, where are you going?" The
leading man wore a bamboo hat on his face, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his posture He is tall and straight, and his black robe exudes a sense of mystery.
He ignored Village Chief Wang, but looked in the direction of Wei Ruo and asked, "Are you in any trouble?"
Hearing the hoarse voice, Wei Ruo recognized the person.
It was Zhu Zongyu who had lived in his village for more than a month.
"I did encounter some trouble. I don't want to buy the land in their village, and they don't want to let me leave yet." Wei Ruo replied directly.
"How do you want me to help you deal with this group of unruly people?" Zhu Zongyu asked.
"No need, I think your appearance has helped me solve the problem." Wei
Ruo didn't want to owe Zhu Zongyu any favors. She paid for his medical treatment. Now if she asked him for help, she would owe him instead. of.
Listening to the conversation between Wei Ruo and the mysterious man, Village Chief Wang suddenly panicked.
He just dared to be tough with Xu, because he was just a businessman. If something happened to the government, there were so many farmers, so there was no need to pretend that he was a cunning businessman.
But if this person named Xu had an official background, then he would never dare to offend him.
Also panicked were a group of villagers. They originally looked at the young master named Xu and they were relatively easy to handle, so they dared to help Village Chief Wang to buy and sell by force.
So the villagers spoke one after another to clear up the relationship.
"It's none of our business. It was the village chief who asked us to do this!" "
Yes, yes, we had a good talk. It was the village chief who was greedy and ordered us to do this!" "
We all listened to the village chief. Long!"
"..."
The villagers put all the responsibility on Village Chief Wang.
Village Chief Wang was frightened and came forward to say good things to Wei Ruo: "Mr. Xu, there was a misunderstanding. That was all a misunderstanding." "
Misunderstanding? Do you want me to help you recall what you said?" Wei Ruo said rudely. .
Village Chief Wang's face turned blue and white, looking very ugly.
Wei Ruo said to the villagers behind him: "You should consider changing the village chief."
The villagers were silent and had mixed emotions.
Then Wei Ruo left with Xiumei and Manager Yu.
Seeing this, some unwilling villagers caught up and asked, "Mr. Xu, what we talked about before about buying the mountain land..." "
I won't buy it," Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, the villagers quickly said good things:
"Just keep the price as originally agreed, we won't raise the price, we won't raise the price!" "
Yes, yes, yes, just the original price, we won't raise the price!"
"The village chief's words cannot represent anything. We, we are willing to sell it to you at that price!"
"..."
"Sorry, if some things don't go well at the beginning, I won't continue." Wei Ruo's attitude was firm and unwavering. After saying that, he no longer stopped, took Xiumei and Manager Yu, and left Wang Village without looking back, leaving all the villagers regretful.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zongyu followed with his own men. When he came to Wei Ruo's side, Zhu Zongyu turned over and dismounted.
"I came here today to get medicine from you. The people at Zhuangzi said you were here, so I came over to take a look." Zhu Zongyu took the initiative to explain to Wei Ruo the reason why he came here.
Wei Ruo ignored him and walked expressionlessly.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo and felt that Wei Ruo's attitude towards him was obviously much colder than before.
"Nothing." Wei Ruo replied coldly.
"You have something to hide." Zhu Zongyu said firmly.
"Mr. Zhu, you don't need me to explain some things too clearly, right? You told me before that you come from a merchant family, but what I see now is that your outfit is definitely not something that someone from a merchant family would dare to wear. Wei Ruo said with a cold face.
Although I had been wary of this person repeatedly, I was still deceived by him in the end.
Of course, you can't blame others for this. If you want to blame it, blame yourself for being soft-hearted and saving others.
Hearing this, Zhu Zongyu's face flashed with guilt and guilt, but it was blocked by the bamboo hat and Wei Ruo and others could not see it.
"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 that time forced him to conceal his true identity in order to protect himself.
"Forget it, I saved you and took the money from you. It's pointless to complain about you at this time. But after taking the medicine today, please don't have any more contact with her." Wei Ruodao.
"Why? Is it because of my status? You don't like people who are officials?" Zhu Zongyu asked in confusion.
"It's not so much that I don't like it, but it's more that I can't reach a high level. I'm a merchant, and you have a high position, so it's not appropriate for you to have too many contacts." Wei Ruo explained.
"You are not an ordinary businessman. During the plague, you and many doctors in the city risked your lives to save the people, and your contribution was indispensable."
Xu Heyou's name was written on the government notice, and Zhu Zongyu saw it.
"It doesn't matter whether you are an ordinary businessman or not. There is a doctor-patient relationship between you and me. There is no need to have too much contact." Wei Ruodao.
After saying that, 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 still can't recover after taking the medicine this time, ask him to send his men here next time instead of coming in person." Wei Ruodao.
"Yes." Manager Yu took the order and left.
At the gate of Zhuangzi, Yu was about to hand the manager over to Zhu Zongyu: "Master Zhu, our master said that next time you need to get medicine, you can just ask the servants to come over. You don't have to make this trip yourself. It's too troublesome for you." Zhu Zongyu frowned
. Locking tightly, in addition to getting medicine, he also wanted to see Xu Heyou. He also guessed that the other party might be a little unhappy, but he definitely did not expect that the other party's reaction would be so big.
Does it make such a big difference to him that he is not a merchant?
After Zhu Zongyu looked at Zhuangzi in front of him for a long time, he chose to leave.
Manager Yu went back and told Wei Ruo: "My boss, Mr. Zhu has taken the medicine and left."
Wei Ruo: "Yes."
Manager Yu: "My boss, I have something unclear."
Wei Ruo: "You ask."
Yu Steward: "My boss has a good relationship with Princess Jingmin. I guess she is not someone who dislikes the powerful. Why has there been such a huge change in the attitude towards Mr. Zhu?"
