"Without waiting for Xia Zheng to speak, Hua Hui rushed to say, "I know, I know. As a Lizheng, one must always consider the welfare of the common people."
"And how do you consider their welfare?" Xia Zheng pinched Lin Yuan's little finger and asked nonchalantly.
Hua Hui's throat moved, and he said in a strained voice, "This, considering their welfare, is, is. Oh right, it's protecting them from being bullied by bad people, and, and protecting their silver, yes, not letting others steal their silver."
"It seems that the esteemed Lizheng does not only know how to sell land!" Lin Yuan said with a cold laugh.
Xia Zheng also nodded and said, "Exactly. Actually, these matters should not be of my concern, but since I happen to come across this today, I shall say a few more words. Hua Hui, since you are the Lizheng, you must make the protection of the villagers' property and safety your top priority."
