Chapter 156: Fishing with a Line
"It's his duty to take care of the grange, and it's not a credit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Besides, the eldest prince wants to change someone to be the head of the village, and it really doesn't have to be a reason, just a matter of one sentence. If you want me to say, any of you are better than him, eldest prince, don't you say? At least you look decent, and you won't lose the face of the palace when you go out. ”
Not to mention, the few people standing there look good and good, unlike this Zhuangtou, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and two handfuls of mouse whiskers, looking treacherous.
This grange is the Zhuangzi that the He family married back then, and the first family in the village is the companion room of the He family, and the rest of the people have come to the village one after another to seek refuge, and some of the original tenants simply sold themselves as slaves after not paying for rent.
In their hearts, the position of the head of the village will never be moved. In Zhuangzi, he is the master, more majestic than the county master. Now I see that the head of the village has kowtowed for a long time, and the eldest prince said that it will be tied, and this is humble...... It's clear at once.
"Our family is in Dongping Village, and I have heard about your village. I couldn't help but talk a lot last night, and I told the eldest prince something. It turns out that many of the things that this village head does are deceived and concealed, and the palace does not know. The eldest prince was hesitating, whether to ask the princess to send another capable person to take charge of the grange, or to promote another one from the grange. ”
"You go back to the village and tell everyone that this person is bullying and ruining the reputation of the palace, and the eldest prince plans to choose a new head of the village, if there is no suitable person here in the past two days, he will write back to the palace to ask the princess to point another one. The first of these new villages must be to understand agricultural affairs, and the second is to win popularity in the village. The best thing is, of course, to be able to choose one of the Zhuangzi, and if you have the ability, you can recommend yourself to the eldest prince. ”
"But this self-recommendation is not just a matter of boasting about yourself, but also having to be said by others. Don't recommend yourself then, the eldest prince sent someone to ask, but no one squeaked. Alright, you guys should go back and inform the guys. ”
After Yuxiu finished speaking, she drove these people back, and a few hesitated and didn't want to leave, Xiaobei picked up his feet to drive people away, and they all left one after another.
The Zhuang Tou lying on the ground listened to Yuxiu's nonsense, and whined anxiously, but he couldn't speak with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
Those few people hesitated to look at the people lying on the ground, their footsteps moved out, and finally, even the person who had interceded for Zhuang Tou just now gritted his teeth and turned away.
Li Chengyun's grange was mixed with fish and dragons, and Yuxiu didn't expect to rely on a few words, and these people would all turn against the water. She just dropped a bait and kept them busy. The position of the head of the village is still very tempting.
That Xiaoxi secretly looked at Yudong, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He looked over again, and just met Shang Yuxiu's gaze at him, he hurriedly lowered his head respectfully.
"Xiaoxi, the eldest prince said that the third master Ding is still in the county seat, you go to the official road to greet him, and let the third master not go back to the village, but come here to pick up the eldest prince back to the village. ”
Xiaoxi looked at Li Chengyun inquiringly, and saw that Li Chengyun nodded to himself in agreement, and then bowed and retired, "Yes, the little one will go." He turned and ran out.
Yuxiu looked at Xiaobei again, and Xiaobei grinned and asked, "What do you have to say?"
"Tie this man to the big tree on the side of the embankment outside the gate. Yuxiu pointed to Zhuang Tou, who was lying on the ground and was about to faint.
On this cold day, the wind by the river is the strongest, and there is still water in this person's clothes, isn't this going to freeze him to death?
The head of the village was about to faint from the cold, but his brain cleared up, and he raised his head vigorously and made a whining sound, probably pleading.
That Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, reached out and grabbed the collar of Zhuang Tou and dragged it out.
Yudong saw that people were going out, and said to Yuxiu hesitantly, "Xiuxiu, what if I freeze to death?"
"Yes, sister, this person is looking at ...... Poor too. Yushu also pleaded.
Although Yuliang didn't speak, looking at Yuxiu's eyes, it was obvious that he was a little pitiful for the head of the village. Only Yan Qingjiang followed Xiaobei out to see the excitement, and he didn't intercede here.
"Brother, since you want to learn martial arts, if you kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future and the enemy begs for mercy, will you spare him?" Yuxiu looked at the three of them and asked solemnly.
Yudong hesitated, Hong Tianxi told him about the war, he couldn't be soft on the battlefield, of course he couldn't be spared, he shook his head, "But ...... But it's not the same thing. ”
"If Yan Qinghong or the Yang family come over and beg us to ignore our past suspicions, will we agree?" Yuxiu looked at the three of them and asked again.
The three of them thought of what Yan Qinghong and the Yang family had done, glanced at each other, and shook their heads together, these people were necrotic, how could they spare them? Especially Yan Qinghong, Yudong and Yuxiu told Yushu and Yuliang what Yan Qinghong wanted to do to them, and even the softest-hearted Yushu shook her head firmly.
"Eldest sister, but Mr. Li said that people should be lenient with others......"
"Little Fourth, the sage also said, 'Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue', if killing one person can live ten people and 100 people, then this person should be killed! Killing this person is the greatest good deed!" Yuxiu spat out firmly.
Yudong has heard Yan Qingshan and the Wang family teach to be kind to others since they were children, and they always practiced this in the past.
Li Chengyun looked at Yuxiu with a solemn face, as if he saw a strict judge, if her words were heard by the scholar Confucian, she would definitely be vicious and revenged, right?
Yuxiu saw that Yudong didn't refute anymore, and pointed out the door, "That Zhuang Tou has never been soft on tenants, brother, you have been walking around these days, have you heard of it?"
"I heard that the tenant had collected five hundred pounds of grain in his field, and he would take four hundred and fifty pounds. If you don't pay it, bring someone to the door to rob ......" Yudong's voice became lower and lower when he talked about this person's evil deeds. When he first heard these things, he still felt that this kind of person was too damned, how could he come to his eyes, and he had just interceded for him?
Yushu and Yuliang shrank their shoulders in fear when they heard that the children of some tenants were starving to death in winter, and they remembered the scene of starvation in Wangjia Village.
Seeing that the three of them understood, Yuxiu didn't continue to ask, but just said, "We are for the people! Moreover, we didn't kill him or beat him, he tied others to a tree and froze, why can't he go to get frozen? ”
This sounds more reasonable, Yudong nodded again and again, and even Li Chengyun felt that they only tied the head of the village to the tree, which was quite tolerant.
They forgot that after Yuxiu poured a scoop of cold water, Zhuang Tou wore that clothes, which was similar to having ice cubes on his body.
When Xiaobei and Yan Qingjiang came back, how could a few people in the house look at him?
"Xiuxiu, just tie him up outside, don't you send him to the official? Yudong felt that he couldn't tie it up, just forget it.
"It's called casting a long line to catch a big fish. Yuxiu said proudly.
