Eventually, the seller told the land agent that he will not sell the land to the Zhao Family, no matter what.
The Zhao Family was arrogant, and they were the County Magistrate's good friends, but so what? He was leaving the country soon, and he would be out of their control.
The land agent was very angry about the Zhao Family's behavior as well.
The good field was worth eight liang per mu, but Old Master Zhao tried to take it to five liang for one mu. That was blatant robbery!
The land agent had wanted to ask Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan about it and they ran into each other accidentally on the same day. That's how the land became theirs.
Since the Zhao Family was playing a trick, then the land was not going to be sold to them.
The land agent did not have any specific intentions towards Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. Those who could offer the proper price would become the owner. So, he was being totally reasonable.
