154 Beat a rake
Liang Baida also knew that what everyone said was reasonable, but he could watch people in distress, but he couldn't look down on it. Because the whole village cast disapproving glances, he finally had to sigh and wave his hand to let his nephew see the official.
"Chen Qing! You also ate my potatoes when you were a child, how can you be so ruthless at this juncture! Your aunt is still waiting for me to bring rice home to cook...... Chen Qing ...... "Chen Laosan was dragged away, his eyes were bloodshot, and he still turned his head unwillingly to stare at the person who could not be saved.
Chen Qing's heart twitched slightly, and he clenched his fists to stop himself from rushing over to release people. If Uncle Chen consulted with him in private, why did he end up like this? Even Liang Baida couldn't do anything, what could he do?
You don't have to feel guilty, if you feel that you don't want to go, bring some food to his family," Liang Baisong said righteously, and then took the lead to return home.
It wasn't until he saw the tragic situation at home that Chen Qing's slightly uncomfortable mood was finally replaced by anger.
The always tidy house was smashed and dilapidated, no matter how good Liang Baida's heart was, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shout angrily: "Pass it on, the Liang family will not store grain in the future! The tenant rent will also recover sixty percent from this year!"
Liang Baisong rushed into the main hall angrily, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, turned his head and angrily reprimanded, "These beasts!
Liang Baida angrily pushed away the second brother, went in to check in person, lit incense and raised it above his head, kneeling in front of his ancestors to plead guilty. Fortunately, the ancestral tablet is intact, if the spiritual position is smashed, how can he, an unfilial descendant, still have the face to live in the world?
The howling cold wind went straight through the window sash, blowing people's hearts slightly cold, and the room was cold.
The entire oilcloth window paper, all that can be removed has been removed, and those that cannot be removed have also been poked into a hole by a wooden stick and iron pickaxe. Most of the wooden furniture was damaged, and the cups and porcelain plates were shattered to the ground.
"These thieves can't rob the grain, they have to make the Huo Huo at home look bad, they deserve to go to prison!" Li San's daughter-in-law and Liang Jia came to help, and they couldn't help but wipe their tears sadly.
The house should not be destroyed, along with the old clothes are not left, if not hidden in the morning, it is estimated that there will not be even a piece of cloth left.
Chen Qing took out a few clothes and dishes from the cellar and cooked breakfast, who still has the heart to eat and drink at this time?
But the house leak happened to rain overnight, Liang Zizhuang and his entourage went to the county government to beat drums and voice grievances, not only failed to bring a thief to justice, but were instead charged with privately stockpiling grain and raising prices.
A group of thieves were instigated by the master book that night, and they beat a rake, crying that the Liang family had been a disaster in the township for many years, and every time they lent them to tenants at high prices under the pretense of storing grain in disaster years, and used tenant rents as a basis to expropriate and extort money, and wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment.
Liang Zizhuang and the others wondered why they were imprisoned together with them, but when the trial opened on the second day, they learned that their plaintiff was actually framed as a defendant by thieves!
Liang Zizhuang reprimanded He Zhi County for fake public and private affairs, black and white, which provoked the county magistrate to be furious, and he was put in prison with 20 boards, and he was detained until the year after the year.
Framing the Liang family is not the goal, He Zhixian's biggest motive is still to detain Liang Zijun. As long as Liang Zijun does not leave the prison cell for a day, the smuggling case will not change for a day.
There was a letter from the prefect in the past, and the people in the county blocked the door to exchange money, and the yacha who escorted the evidence was delayed in returning. In order to get rid of the crime and overturn the case, it can't be said that the Liang family is behind the scenes.
As long as Liang Zijun is still in his hands, the Liang family has the ability to go through the sky, and they dare not blatantly oppose him. has a handle in hand, are you afraid that Liao Fanzhi can turn the sky upside down?
Even if the net is open and a Liang Zijun runs away, doesn't he still have Liao Fanzhi and Li Shoucai, two sinners. As long as Liang Zijun is controlled, no one can stop him from being promoted.
He Zhixian's wishful thinking is fine, but the evidence of the crime is insufficient, and he can't even open a trial if he wants to. In addition to his daily anxiety, he had to repeatedly say that no one would be allowed to visit the prison, and he burned incense and prayed, hoping that the evidence of the crime would be delivered quickly.
Chen Qing didn't see the brothers that day, and he knew that he was going to suffer, so he had to throw down a lot of money to buy the jailer to meet Liang Zijun privately.
There are only three days left before the Chinese New Year, and in just a few days, Xiao is strong heart can't help but be annoyed by the anxious trivial things.
Liang Zijun touched his daughter-in-law, who was getting thinner and thinner, and blamed himself in his heart, if he hadn't been lawless, how could he have dragged the whole family to suffer? If the smuggling incident had not been reported, those thieves would not have dared to openly come to the door to steal grain by virtue of his status as a person.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired of you being offended," Liang Zijun took over and apologized in a gloomy tone.
"What are you talking about now, wait for you to come out, see how I clean you up," Chen Qingyu reprimanded helplessly.
Liang Zijun has been in the middle for a few days, he can't eat or sleep well, and the whole person is a lot of decadence, just this depressed appearance makes Chen Qing feel distressed, how can he still say anything serious?
Eating the meal made by his daughter-in-law, Liang Sanye's pale face flashed a smile, he hadn't seen him for many days, and he thought more and more about his daughter-in-law's goodness, so he smiled flatteringly, "The master really married a skillful daughter-in-law, and this meal is more and more appetizing to the master."
Chen Qingbai glanced at him and said with a dark smile, "Maybe you can't get used to eating coarse food bought outside, so you feel fragrant."
"Nonsense! Obviously, you have raised your lord's appetite!" Liang Zijun devoured it and refuted it with righteous words.
Chen Qing's heart was slightly sour, how could Liang Zijun have suffered like this? At present, the ingredients are limited, and the food he makes indiscriminately can make him feel good, which must be related to the fact that he has not eaten well in this prison.
Then he lifted the chopsticks, took a piece of bacon and handed it to the person's mouth, and the tone was rare and gentle, "Eat more"
Liang Zijun was stunned for a moment, took his mouth in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes with a smirk as he bit his chopsticks.
The aroma of the cold soup on the leftovers soon attracted insects and ants hiding in the shadows.
The rustling sound of rustling, Xiao is Chen Qing, a bold person like Chen Qing can't help but have a numb scalp, and he stopped halfway through the discussion to listen, tugging at Liang Zijun's shirt and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you hear that?"
"It's just a little thing" Liang Zijun smacked his mouth and smiled meaningfully, for fear of scaring his daughter-in-law, so he deliberately replied speciously.
However, Liang Sanye felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, but there were always some eyeless little things running out to scare Chen Qing.
When a heavy rat rushed over the instep, Chen Qing jumped up in shock, climbed up to Liang Zijun's waist and abdomen in the dark, and shouted in disbelief, "What is it?"
"Snakes, insects, rats and ants, don't panic" Liang Zijun patted his daughter-in-law on the back and hurriedly comforted the frightened Chen Qing.
He didn't say that it was okay, but it was not certain based on speculation, and now that he heard that the rustling sound in the room was all made by such filth, no matter how strong his heart was, his scalp would be numb from being bluffed.
In addition, Chen Qing is one of the most afraid in his life - snakes! As soon as Liang Zijun's voice fell, the person who was still nested in Liang Zijun's arms would have already hung on him with his hands and feet, and he refused to come down no matter how Liang Zijun persuaded him, and he held on to the trunk of a tree as a refuge.
Liang Zijun stood on his feet, barely holding on, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Daughter-in-law, you are so heavy!"
"You deserve it!" Chen Qing would still have thoughts about hurting him, if it weren't for the fact that he had lost a lot of weight recently, they would have to fall into the worm pile.
"Uh...... Why didn't I know when you were still afraid?" Liang Zijun reluctantly held his fat buttocks and pinched them informally.
Chen Qing slapped the thief with his hand, and quickly withdrew it, and said with dissatisfaction, "Don't mention snakes to me, I'm most afraid of that thing!"
"Hey...... One day, I will catch you ten and eight of them, peel them and boil the soup, and you will be allowed to drink and relieve your breath" Liang Zijun shook his legs and said after speaking, and quickly explained the matter before he opened his mouth to discuss, "Daughter-in-law, let's lose weight"
"Puff ......" Chen Qing's untimely laughter came out in the dim, and Liang Zijun, who provoked him, raised his neck and bit hard.
Before leaving, Liang Zijun hugged and kissed someone for a while, and then flattened his mouth and told "take care of yourself and our son"
"Don't worry" Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder, and then reluctantly exited the cell.
Liang Zijun was in front of the fence until the light was far away, then he retracted into the corner gloomily, hugged the quilt and muttered, "It seems that the master is going to break his promise this year......"
Chen Qing returned home and thought about it, but he still couldn't bear Liang Zijun to stay in the dark dungeon, so he carried half a bag of grain and prepared to rush to Chenjiagou.
After dividing the grain into three small bags, Chen Qing drove the ox cart and set off.
As soon as he entered Chenjiagou, the villagers who were still enthusiastic about him all glared at him with cold faces, although they didn't lift the stick to drive him out of the village, but they didn't get any friendly.
Chen Qing has long been accustomed to seeing this kind of battle in Liangjia Village, but when he changes to the village where he grew up, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Ignoring all kinds of ridicule and white eyes all the way, he went straight to the village chief's house, and unloaded the food before he opened his mouth slightly and called "village chief"
"Even if you cut off your relatives, why do you come back?" the old village chief blocked the door of the house in an unkind tone to prevent people from entering.
The life of the village chief's family is not easy, and the family that comes out is all yellow and thin, if it weren't for the sake of food, they would have to open their mouths early in the morning to drive people away.
A village's relatives bring their own lives, even if Chen Laosan doesn't come out again, it is also a relative living in the village. Seeing that something had happened, it was inevitable that the same enemy would have some thoughts about Chen Qing. Especially Chen Qing now eats well and wears warmly, but he can't save his fellow villagers when he sees death, and he hates the rich, and he can say the last sentence in a harmonious voice.
"I want to come to the village chief to know right and wrong, I don't need Chen Qing to explain, I came today to visit Aunt Chen, and second, to find Chen Ping to settle accounts. I don't want to ask the village chief for convenience, I just want to ask Chen Qing what is wrong? Is it reasonable to go to other people's houses to grab grain? That is, if you know that what you are doing is to rob houses and houses, you should be mentally prepared when you are arrested!" Chen Qing asked in a raised voice without shame.
Chen Qing doesn't need to make this matter clear, everyone can also distinguish between right and wrong, but people's hearts have always been like this, the elbow is only bent inward and not outward, and no one can escape the shortcoming.
The old village chief's angry lips trembled for a long time, and then he sighed and brought food into the house, which was regarded as acquiescing to Chen Qing's visit.
Without waiting for Chen Qing to rush to Chen Laosan's house, Aunt Chen, who got the letter, took her son forward and scolded her.
Chen Qing pushed half of the child away, took a step back and shouted, "I'm not here to ask your family for forgiveness! Don't think you're really a bitter master! If you do something wrong, you should be punished, and as for how the county lord judges, it's not up to me to decide."
Aunt Chen sat on the ground and cried, how could she not know the seriousness of the matter? At the beginning, she persuaded the head of the family not to go on this trip to the troubled waters, but he had just sold the baby, and he was bitter, and he sneaked away in the middle of the night while she was not paying attention. But there are several families in the village who went together, why was the third child of his family arrested?
The villagers who should have participated in the looting will all hide behind and watch, to put it bluntly, Chen Qing is not relied upon, but their villagers are not righteous, not only smashed people's houses, but also beat a rake. But when it comes to the end, everyone can't care about sympathy, just thinking about not getting into trouble, how can they say a fair word for Chen Qing?
threw a small bag of grain to Aunt Chen, and he should pity this family.
Chen Qing pulled the ox cart with a dark face and rushed towards the uncle's house, Chen Ping was hiding in the house in a panic when he got the letter, and he didn't dare to go out no matter how Liu Daidi persuaded him.
was already a thief, and was caught by Chen Qing on the spot that day, even if Chen Ping would deny it again, I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of the burden of the thief.
