Chapter 15 The True Purpose of Burning Paper in Front of the Door

So Murong Xiaoxuan didn't say anything more, and followed Zhang Mutian to buy meat and went home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhang Dahai even though he ate fragrant pork in his mouth, he still didn't give them two good faces.

Zhang's mother knew that her eldest son had started to make money in business, and she was happy. It's not good to get up early in the morning to make breakfast for him, and it's better to go out early to earn money after eating early.

"Zhang Mutian, the county lord will ask you. Come with us. Just when Zhang Mutian was about to go out to do business after breakfast, four officials walked in and blocked his way.

"Lord Cha, are you mistaken, our family Mutian hasn't done anything recently!" Zhang's mother, who was washing dishes in the house, heard that she was here to catch her son, so she quickly ran over from the stove.

"Zhangjiacun, Zhang Mutian. He's right! Boss Zhu, who sold incense and candles, sued you and Zhang Laifu, saying that you owed him the money for incense and candles and did not pay it back. An official once again confirmed Zhang Mutian's identity and briefly said what the case was.

In fact, they are also afraid of catching the wrong person. There are too many people with the same name and surname, and last time there was a guy, who carelessly caught the wrong person, and was directly criticized by the county master, and his salary was deducted.

"Oh, that's it! Mother, it's okay, I'll go to the county lord with me to testify. I'll be back soon, remember to cook me dinner! As soon as Zhang Mutian heard that the official said that this was the case, he was not in a hurry. He comforted Zhang's mother with a knowing face.

In fact, for Zhang Mutian, if he doesn't eat a meal, it won't be like this. The reason why he said this to Zhang's mother was also to reassure Zhang's mother. He's fine, don't worry about him, he'll be back for dinner soon.

As soon as the four officials heard Zhang Mutian's words, they knew that they had not found the wrong person. Secretly relieved, the four of them walked out with Zhang Mutian in front and back, left and right.

According to the regulations, there are only two messengers who need to go to the church. But Boss Zhu and Zhang Laifu's father and son both said that Zhang Mutian is infinitely powerful, and usually, few people in the village dare to provoke him. If he wants to flee and doesn't come, ordinary people really can't stop him.

As soon as the brothers discussed, they decided to come with a few more people. lest you miss an errand when you get it, you will not be approved by the county lord, and you will be fined monthly money.

The four officials looked up at the fiery sun and sweated. looked at Zhang Mutian, who walked in the middle and obediently cooperated. In my heart, Boss Zhu and Zhang Laifu father and son were scolded.

If it weren't for the alarmism they were there, they would still be standing in the shady public hall to watch the play. What use is it to suffer this sin?

Boss Zhu and Zhang Laifu, who were kneeling in the public hall waiting for the county lord to judge justice, didn't know that several of them had been remembered by this group of officials.

Zhang Mutian followed the four officials all the way to the county office, and shouted to the county lord sitting under the "honest and honest" plaque: "Zhang Mutian, grass people in Zhangjia Village, knock on the Qingtian lord!" ”

The county lord was shocked: "Zhang Mutian, do you owe Zhu Lao four or five catties of incense paper money?" ”

"Wronged! From Qingtian to Master, I have never owed Boss Zhu money! Zhang Mutian knelt up straight, looked at Zhu Laosi next to him, and replied.

"How to say this, don't go into detail!" The county lord looked impatient, if it weren't for Zhu Laosi's drumming and complaining. At this moment, he is in the back hall of the county government, eating chilled watermelon.

"Back to Master Qingtian, three days ago, I did go to Boss Zhu's store to get five catties of incense paper on credit. But at that time, I told Boss Zhu that the five catties of incense paper were on credit for Zhang Lichun, and I wanted money to go to his house; If Zhang Lichun is unwilling to give money, he will ask them to return five catties of incense paper, and I will give Boss Zhu five dollars for the loss. After speaking, Zhang Mutian looked at Zhu Laosi on the side and asked, "Boss Zhu, do I have half a lie?" ”

The county lord secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, twisted his body, and tried to separate the sweaty clothes from his body a little distance: "Zhu Laosi, is what he said wrong?" ”

"Yes...... He's right! But when I went to Zhang Lichun's house, they didn't admit it, and said that if they wanted money, they would go to Zhang Mutian! didn't return the five catties of incense paper, and the grass people had no choice but to sue the official. Zhu Laosi was also very helpless, he shouldn't have listened to Zhang Mutian's words at that time, let alone been greedy.

At that time, I thought that even if I couldn't sell five catties of incense paper, it didn't matter, and there was still a five-penny running fee. Now it's good, the five catties of incense paper are gone, and the money hasn't been paid.

"Zhang Lichun, did Zhang Mutian take those five catties of incense paper to your house?" The county lord looked at Zhang Lichun with an unkind face, how could there be such a bad man under his rule. If you take the goods, you don't return them, and you don't give money to the merchants, so you want to be punished.

The official who was already holding back his anger, when he saw the black face of the county lord, he couldn't blacken anymore, and the hand holding the killing rod added three points.

"Yes...... But ......" The killing sticks on both sides sounded sharply with the words of the county master, and Zhang Lichun was frightened all of a sudden.

"Then why didn't you pay Zhu Lao four or five catties of incense paper? Don't return the goods to Zhu Laosi?! "If it weren't for the need for the case-handling procedures, the county lord really wanted to give such Diao people a board first, and then detain them for three days. See if he dares to be domineering and unreasonable in the future.

Zhang Laifu saw that his son was already scared stupid, and he couldn't even speak clearly, so he quickly kowtowed to the county lord: "Qingtian to the master, Zhang Mutian took five catties of incense paper to my house, but he burned the five catties of incense paper at the gate of my house!" The house almost caught fire! Please also ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of the grass people! ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Laifu's words, the county lord who was drinking tea to relieve the heat almost didn't squirt. Burning paper in front of someone else's door? That's a big bad luck.

"Zhang Laifu, is your family doing nothing? Who died? Why don't you see the report? "Recently, the county government has not received the death notice of the security chief.

This can be related to the size of the county's population, tax revenue, and so on. It's not careless at all, the county lord put away the carelessness and looked serious.

"Lord Qiqi Qingtian, there are no dead people in the grass people's family, and they are not doing things in vain! It was that Zhang Mutian who was unreasonable, and asked Lord Qingtian to call the shots. Zhang Laifu was also angry, and just took the opportunity to file a lawsuit.

When the county lord heard that there were no dead people, he stopped thinking about the chief of the security department coming over to ask: "Zhang Mutian, why are you burning paper in front of other people's houses for no reason?" Don't you know that this is unlucky? ”

This Zhang Mutian is not a child anymore, I don't know how ruthless water and fire are. How can you casually go to other people's houses to play with fire, or burn people's paper money, it's too nonsense!

"My lord, Zhang Lichun ruined my sister's innocence and refused to marry. The grass people were also helpless, so they made this decision. My sister couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting the wall. Fortunately, the doctor treated him in time, and he is still lying in bed to recuperate. Please also ask the adults to make the decisions for their sisters! ”

It turned out that the real purpose of burning paper in front of Zhang Mutian's door was not to intimidate Zhang Laifu's father and son and force them to marry Murong Xiaoxuan. Of course, if they are afraid, they agree to marry her, which can be regarded as saving Zhang Mutian some trouble; Instead, Boss Zhu sued them for paper money, so as to lead Zhang Lichun to ruin his sister's reputation.

Zhang Mutian also has no choice, his family is too poor to afford to ask his husband to write a complaint, and as a defendant, he doesn't have to think about these at all.

Besides, he didn't want Zhang Lichun to marry Rong'er, and he didn't dare to do it. Such a man is not worthy of his family at all.

The county lord was almost choked to death by Zhang Mutian's words, isn't this just a simple debt not to be repaid? How did it end up involving men and women who hindered morality?
