Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 156 1 The Distance of the Whip

After Jiang Yizhou received the message from Wei Ke, he handed over the matters in Tianshui to his subordinates and rushed here overnight without stopping, just to settle the matter of the last labor employment.

She had traveled day and night and was now tired, hungry and thirsty. She did not expect that when she was about to reach the farm, these people would stop her and would not let her go.

Jiang Yizhou reiterated loudly: "I, Jiang Yizhou, will keep my word and will seek justice for everyone according to the original agreement. Please believe me. Get out of the way now. You can't solve the problem by blocking me here."

"I don't care, I just want my wages. I'm uneducated, I only care about money, give me the money and I'll leave..."

"That's right. We don't know anything. We don't understand your twists and turns, and we don't have so many tricks. I just want to get my hard-earned money back."

"If you don't give me the money today, I won't leave. You have a horse, you are great, you look down on us muddy people, if you have the guts, just step over us."

"Yes, if you have the guts, just step over us. We are worthless anyway, and all you rich people are the same. Now I have figured it out, and I'm going to give it my all..."

"..."

Jiang Yizhou saw these people talking and stretching, and they seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Haha, now these dozens of people are surrounding me, saying that I am uneducated and weak...

She finally realized that these people did it on purpose.

The truth was made clear, but my patience was gradually worn out by these people.

Jiang Yizhou's good mood gradually faded, his face turned cold, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, it's shameful to block the road. There is no reason to hinder others from passing normally. Let——"

She didn't give these people any face at all at this moment, which made everyone stunned.

After all, in their eyes, the head of the Jiang family was a clay Buddha, so how could he be so cruel to them?

They did it on purpose just now. In the words of their leader, they were making trouble. You are poor people with nothing. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Go ahead and make trouble. She is a woman. Yunshan is her foundation. As long as she wants to continue working here and maintain her reputation as a "good person" and the farm, she dare not do anything to them. She absolutely dare not touch them.

These words gave them peace of mind, allowing them to block the road and cause trouble so unscrupulously.

However, at this moment, when they actually saw the woman's dark face, they still felt a little frightened - after all, the man who had extorted twenty taels of silver last year was beaten half to death in just two days, and turned into a cold corpse in just a few days.

Just when they were hesitant, someone in the crowd started to make a strange comment: "I thought Master Jiang was speaking for common people like us. Tsk tsk, now that he has money and connections, he looks down on us..."

"If we hadn't gotten up early and worked late to build the manor with all our heart and soul, helping her with the work, would the manor be what it is now?"

"Now he doesn't even look at us. It's really chilling..."

A man suddenly fell to the ground: "Oh, help! Where is justice? Master Jiang is rich and looks down on us poor people. He rides his horse and tramples on us."

"Don't leave. If you don't give us an explanation today, what can happen to you even if you are the head of the Jiang family?"

"That's right. I thought she was helping us by guaranteeing us, but it turned out that she was in league with those landlords and gentry, teaming up to bully poor people like us."

"Pay us our hard-earned money, God, please open your eyes, this is just cannibalism."

These people became more and more excited as they talked, and when Jiang Yizhou stopped his horse, they all surrounded him.

They figured that as long as they stepped on the ground, the other party would definitely not dare to trample over it on horseback.

Now seeing that the other party had reined in their horses, some of them followed suit and lay on the ground, crying and accusing Yunshan Farmer and the head of the Jiang family of seeking fame and reputation.

The other part took advantage of the chaos to surround Jiang Yizhou, with the intention of pulling Jiang Yizhou off his horse.

There's something wrong with these people...

Jiang Yizhou looked at the scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but think of something that happened to her in her original world.

The first time she followed her master on a long-distance trip, when passing a place, she saw a ragged woman holding a child lying in the middle of the road, calling for help, "Save her, save the child, she hasn't had anything to eat for many days..."

She thought something had happened to the other party, so she stopped the car to check. Then, dozens of men, women, old and young appeared one after another and surrounded their truck.

That time, not only did they lose all their goods there, they also nearly lost their lives.

From then on, she could not stand people who were dressed in rags, including beggars.

I feel that behind each of these people is an abyss of evil that devours people without leaving any bones.

Wei Ke had previously sent her a letter saying that a major conflict had broken out among the workers who had signed contracts with the landlords, and the conflict then shifted to Yunshan Farm.

She knew that there must be someone fanning the flames. Some of them really wanted to extort money from Yunshan Farm, while others were just fence-sitters who would bully whoever was kind.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

The farm has a porridge shed, which distributes grain porridge and steamed buns to vagrants and beggars every day, so these people can eat and drink while lying here, and at the same time hinder the farm's exchanges with the outside world, thus threatening the farm.

... Jiang Yizhou looked at the situation in front of him, and his unforgettable memory flashed through his mind.

Among these people pretending to be ragged refugees, Jiang Yizhou smelled something different.

Yunshan is her base camp, and both her and Yunshan’s reputations are important.

But fame does not come from these people who raised their whips without hesitation and whipped them.

A figure was blown away, followed by the next one...

People never expected that this woman would dare to...

They put the label of "good person" on her so that she has to cater to their needs and interests.

But I didn't expect that she would attack these unarmed people without hesitation!

"Murder, the hag killed someone——"

The crowd was in an uproar.

From a "good man" to a "female demon", it's only a whip away.

Jiang Yizhou still saw some familiar faces among these shouting people. In the past, these people had knelt in front of Yunshan more than once to express their gratitude because of her protection.

They were filled with gratitude and kept saying, "Master Jiang is a good man," "Master Jiang is a good man and will be rewarded," and "Master Jiang, you will definitely be blessed."

Although she did not take such verbal gratitude to heart at the time, their hypocrisy was as high as that of the man who extorted twenty taels of silver from her that day.

However, at this moment, when these hypocritical people tore off their disguises and called "female demon" with the mouths that called "good people", she still felt a slight pain in her heart.
