    Twenty sticks were solidly beaten.

    But it¡¯s not over yet.

    I saw the tribesmen stuffing him into a bamboo cage and carrying him out of the courtyard.

    "There won't be anyone killed, right?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this.

    "It's rare for a young master to be immersed in a pig cage after being beaten." Tang Youde said, "Those who have committed serious crimes will be directly stuffed into rocks and drowned. Those who have committed minor crimes can still have their heads above the water."

    After a pause, he chuckled and said, "It's just a show, we will let him go as soon as we leave."

    "Oh." Zhao Hao nodded, feeling relieved.  I secretly thought, I am really a kind-hearted young man.

    The leader of the Tang Society cursed the clan members again and drove them all away. Then he accompanied Xing Xing to the young man riding the donkey and said, "Young Master, please calm down."

    "The anger is gone. But there are some things that we still have to talk about." Zhao Hao said expressionlessly: "Just now this lady said that you changed other people's land. Is this the case?"

    "Yes, it's because my ears are too soft and I can't hold on." Tangshe gave himself a slap in the face and said, "I'll change it for them later."

    "Thank you for your generous help, sir, but don't bother me." Tang Siya suddenly said: "We are going to move away and will not return to Tangjiaxu!"

    "That's just right." Zhao Hao said with a smile, stroking his hands: "The head of the Tang Society can purchase the property and house at a price and give it to you and your wife as settlement expenses."

    "It must be based on the original price of the land!" Tang Youde quickly reminded.

    "No problem" Mr. Tang doesn't have to worry about purchasing Siya's property. Once he takes in the property at a low price, he can easily make a small profit by reselling it in the future.

    "It's just that all the villain's belongings have been turned into raw silk. I can't get any money at the moment. I have to ask Siya and his wife to wait for a few days"

    "No need to wait, just deduct it from the money from selling silk." Zhao Hao is such a smart person, can he take advantage of this loophole?

    Zhao Hao asked Si Ya how many fields he had, and then calculated with his fingers: "One acre of good paddy field in Nanzhili is twenty taels and one mu, and mulberry fields are ten taels and one mu. Si Ya's family has a total of one and a half acres of paddy fields, two and a half acres."  Sang Tian, ??a total of fifty-five taels."

    He looked at the shabby yard again and said, "This house isn't worth much, so don't worry about it. Just give it a total of sixty taels."

    "Young Master is very fair." Tang Youde gave a thumbs up.

    "Sir, are you talking about the land price in Suzhou?" The head of the Tang club said with a sad face: "In our small place, you can choose from twelve acres of paddy fields, but now the mulberry fields are even less valuable!"

    This house is worth five taels, but the wool comes from the sheep, and the total loss will make his liver hurt.

    In his opinion, giving Si Ya thirty taels would be enough to break the bank.

    "I haven't finished the calculation yet, why are you in a hurry?" Zhao Hao coughed, glanced at the head of the soup club dissatisfied, and then said: "There is also twenty taels for my brother Wu's soup and medicine expenses. There are still ten taels left.  Brothers, can't this trip be in vain? It's twenty taels at least."

    As he spoke, he looked at Tang Youde and said, "Old Tang, how much money do you want for running errands?"

    "I'll forget it." Tang Youde felt tempted when he saw the head of the soup community jumping into the river, so he waved his hand and didn't join in the fun.

    "Then my mediation fee will be waived." Zhao Hao waved his hand generously and smiled at the soup club leader: "It's just a hundred taels, not much at all, right?"

    "It's really not much. Young Master is kind." Tang Youde nodded, thinking that the timing and propriety were just right, and he didn't have to worry about Tang being disobedient.

    ???????? If Chief Tang doesn¡¯t agree, won¡¯t his brother¡¯s beating be in vain?

    But Mr. Tang still wanted to try harder, but just as he was about to negotiate the price, Zhao Hao raised his hand and said: "By the way, I am used to a fixed price. You just say nonsense, add a hundred taels, and finish the two thousand kilograms of thread."

    The head of Tang Club suddenly closed his mouth and began to calculate silently.  The price of silk is five cents of silver per catty, and he can sell two thousand catties of silk for one thousand taels of silver.  After deducting these one hundred taels, he still had nine hundred taels, which was equivalent to selling a pound of silk for four and a half cents.

    This price still has to make money, and it also has the real estate field of Siya.

    If you hesitate any longer, you won¡¯t be able to sell any silk!

    Thinking about it this way, how can you lose a lot because of a small thing?

    Before Zhao Hao could show his impatience, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "I'll make the young master a friend!"

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao glanced at Tang Youde.

    Tang Youde scratched his cheek in embarrassment and secretly vowed never to say this again.

    ??~~

    After negotiating the terms, Zhao Hao deliberately wanted Tanglaoer to soak for a while, then he cried out that he was hungry on the donkey's back.

    "Quickly kill a chicken and shoot it"A piece of fish, treat the young master and Boss Tang to dinner.  "The head of the Tang club was relieved. Why should he care about his younger brother's life and death? He immediately ordered to go down and arrange food and drinks for the group.

    Seeing that Tangjiawei was successful in selling silk, the other leaders of the society were so anxious that they couldn't even think about eating. They pulled Tang You aside and muttered, and after a long while they went away contentedly.

    Zhao Hao said he didn¡¯t care about selling silk, so naturally he didn¡¯t ask a single question.

    He was even more impatient to fight with a bunch of old men Mr. Zhao had obviously forgotten how shamelessly he tried to please his old brother.

    Then he asked Gao Wu to carry the food to the polder wall.  He sat there and sipped the hot chicken soup while looking at Tang Lao Er, who had only his head above the water.

    Tang Laoer let the river water soak and he woke up early. He grabbed the bamboo cage with both hands and looked angrily at the young man who was deliberately greedy for him.

    Zhao Hao ate up a chicken leg and threw the bones towards the bamboo cage, hitting Tang Laoer on the head.

    "I heard that this chicken can still be killed by your family. I didn't expect that you are such a bad person, but you raise chickens pretty well."

    When Tang Laoer heard this, he was furious and wanted to curse, so Gao Wu loosened the rope tied to the wall.

    Tang Laoer was knocked down immediately. It took Gao Wu a while before he lifted up the bamboo cage again.

    "Ahem" Tang Laoer's mouth and nose were dripping with water. He didn't dare to talk nonsense. He just hoped that this man who had killed a thousand swords would leave quickly.

    ¡°This chicken tastes good. I¡¯ll catch a few and take them back later to help my dad¡¯s brain.¡± Zhao Hao teased him from above.

    But he saw Tang Laoer huddled in the cage obediently and said nothing.

    Zhao Hao then lost interest in continuing to tease him. After drinking the chicken soup, he went down to the polder wall.

    I met Yu Peng and others, helping Wu Yu and his wife pack their belongings, and carried them out of the yard with their hands on their shoulders.

    "Don't you have a carriage?" Zhao Hao said dissatisfiedly to a member of the Tang family: "A donkey cart is also fine."

    "Sir, all the carts in Weizi have gone to transport silk" The tribesman replied timidly and retreated towards the wall in small steps.  In the eyes of the Tang family, this child was simply scarier than the official who went to the countryside to collect rent.

    Zhao Hao then let him go and turned to look at Wu Yu and his wife who were walking over.

    The couple knelt in front of him, crying and thanking him.

    "If it weren't for Young Master, I don't know what trouble would have happened this time."

    "Thank you, Master, for making the decision for us, helping us vent our anger, and asking for so much money"

    "That's serious." Zhao Hao hurriedly helped the two of them up and said with a sincere smile: "You two are heroes in the fight against Japan. Even if you are not Brother Gao's friend, I will help you with this."

    While talking, Yu Peng brought over the little donkey and carried four big fat chickens in his other hand.

    "You really went?" Zhao Hao said with a smile as he got on the donkey.

    "How dare you disobey the master's orders?" Yu Peng smiled and raised the four chickens, waving to Tang Laoer in the distance.

    The distressed Tang Laoer choked on his water again, but he didn't dare to say any nonsense.

    He was seen holding the bamboo cage with both hands, stretching his neck and looking at the young man riding the donkey. It was not until the figure of the other person disappeared in the sunset that he shed tears of release.

    "My chicken"
