Chapter 59, the whole family served in the service of catching the thief, and the whole village was worried and hurried
The angry villagers took a stone to smash Li Sanzhu, this stone does not have eyes, and the villagers are not accurate, not only Li Sanzhu who smashed it, but also Cao's family, Li Daniu, Li Erzhu, and even Zhaocai and his mother were not spared.
Li Sanzhu was smashed a few times, and his body hurt, but his heart became sober, shouting, "It was the hands and feet of the village that were made, this thing was planted by the village for me, and I have never done it." ”
Li Sanzhu shouted, and the villagers stopped, but the villager with the evidence stopped doing it, but he took it out from the beam, and the village didn't even touch it.
"Li Sanzhu, you, I took this thing down, and the four or five people in the room looked at it as real, and the village didn't even touch a hair. You're black-hearted, you're all like this, and you want to ruin other people's reputations, you turtle calf thing that isn't a thing, I'll kill you! "This person doesn't want to get involved in this matter, and he has to do it if he is in a hurry.
Li Sanzhu was stupid, he didn't expect that this village was doing things without leakage, and he didn't break at all now. anxiously looked at Cao's and wanted his mother to come forward for him, but at this time, Cao's was already stupid, how could he still get an idea.
Li Zhaocai just dodged a few steps, he was a little far away from his third uncle at this time, his brain was spinning fast, this third uncle couldn't keep it, but he couldn't let this person ruin his reputation, so he shouted out what he thought in his heart, "Third uncle, why are you so confused, you don't make a mistake at this time, just admit it, Shiro is a big fate, you can pay for medicine again, that Shiro is your own nephew, can you still take your life?" ”
It sounded like a persuasion to Li Sanzhu, but Situ Yan knew that he wanted to show himself and take himself out, so he couldn't help laughing. This Li Zhaocai is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, if he doesn't make a sound, Li Sanzhu may not be able to pull him in, this voice is destined to make this Li Zhaocai unable to run away.
Li Sanzhu originally thought that this nephew would help him speak, but he didn't expect that in order to clear himself, he pushed him into the fire. Gritting his teeth angrily and glaring at him, he didn't care if he kissed or not, he shook out all the things that Li Erzhu was doing for him and Li Zhaocai helping to come up with ideas.
Li Zhaocai looked at such a lifeless third uncle, and his heart was also anxious, how could he forget, this third uncle was already anxious, he was lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot. The Li family was happy, and Erlang rushed over with Shiro on his back.
"Shiro, you're awake." Muramasa was the first to see Jiro with Shiro on his back and helped Shiro off Jiro's body.
"Uncle Muramasa, I just woke up." Shiro was instructed by Saburo to know what to say and what not to say.
"It's the third uncle who beat me. Third uncle, how can you be so ruthless, you don't say a word when you see me, pick up the stick and smash it. Although we have broken off our relatives, we are not enemies! Shiro said excitedly, his pale face, and the white cloth wrapped around his head, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.
There are those good-hearted aunts, who shed tears, and Aunt Niu angrily pointed at a few people from Li Daniu's family and scolded, "A few boys were kicked out of the house by you at the beginning, and in this big winter, you are ruthless and don't even give you stuttering." The whole village who does not know. Now that a few babies have a house to live in, and now there is no food for the winter, how can you still steal their things? Your hearts have been hung by wolves, can't you? ”
Aunt Fu was even more angry, Xiao Yang'er supported her mother, gritted her teeth with hatred, and squeezed out two words from her throat, "Report to the official." ”
He usually doesn't say much, but these two words go straight to the point, Situ Yan wants to report to the official, but it depends on the meaning of Li Dalang.
"Don't report to the official, Shiro! That's your own uncle, how can you be so ruthless! As soon as the Cao family heard that he was going to report to the official, he also sobered up, and first cried and threw himself at Shiro's feet, and he didn't forget to threaten Shiro at this time.
"Milk, it's not the fourth little one who is ruthless, it's the third uncle who wants our lives." Saburo can see it clearly, and his mind is finer than Shiro's, of course, he can see that his milk is threatening.
Seeing that it didn't make sense here, Cao Shi climbed a few steps and knelt in front of Da Lang, "Da Lang, I will kowtow to you, for the sake of my old bones, please don't report to the official, I am old and old, but my family is ruined, even if your father is alive, I can't stand it!" ”
Li Dalang felt uncomfortable, Shiro was his relative, but this grandmother was his father's mother, what should he do.
Situ Yan looked at Li Dalang's appearance and knew that this matter could not be reported to the official. But this grandmother knelt in front of her grandson, she couldn't say anything, she hurriedly walked behind Li Dalang, pushed it with her knees, and then pulled her hand, and knelt down for the Cao family with Li Dalang, "Grandma Li, please don't force my eldest brother, do you want to force a few brothers to death?" Our family just wants a place to live, just want to have a chance to live, even you can't get used to this? Please give us a way to live! ”
Erlang also understood at this time, and knelt down with Shiro and kowtowed to Cao.
Although Cao was flustered, she was not confused, she knew that she was the only one who gave up this old face, knelt down for a few grandchildren, and forced them to commit crimes, and maybe she could save the third child. didn't expect Situ Yan to see her mind thoroughly, and didn't give her a chance at all.
These children, wounded, small, cried much more pitifully than she did.
She couldn't even pretend to cry now, and the villagers' scolding spread for several miles, so startled that the chickens and dogs in the village sang along with each other.
"What's going on here?" There was a lot of fun in the yard. Suddenly, a male voice rang out like a bell.
The villagers were shocked and retreated to both sides, leaving a path that could pass people. Situ Yan took the opportunity to help Li Dalang up, on such a cold day, it is not worth kneeling for a long time and then falling into the root of the disease.
Mura Zheng only then noticed that the person who came was dressed in a yacha suit, this person he had not seen before, I thought it should be a new appointment, and I don't know what kind of temperament it is, this suddenly came to Lijia Village and didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Lord Yacha, Xiaomin is the village of Lijia Village, I don't know if the yacha is coming, but there is something important to do, please go to my house to rest first?" ”
"Wait a minute, I was crying and making trouble here, but what happened?" Situ Yan looked at the future at this time, this person looked like he was twenty-eight or nine years old, his face was dark, he had a gauze hat on his head but no hat wings, a short spike horizontal knife at his waist, and he was wearing a navy blue knee-length dress, which was covered with dust, and he could see that the wind and dust had rushed a lot of roads, according to Situ Yan's experience, this person often went out and did not see horses with him.
Situ Yan is not disgusted with this yacha, as long as he can act impartially.
Muramasa explained the whole story carefully, and from the time this person appeared, Cao and Li Sanzhu were already sitting on the ground in fright, and they couldn't even cry. Li Daniu fainted even more, and was supported by Li Erzhu and fell to the side. Erzhu's daughter-in-law hugged Li Zhaocai, she was already stupid, and she couldn't even cry. Sanzhu's daughter-in-law knelt beside Li Sanzhu at this time, and she didn't know what to do. The hearts of the whole family were shocked.
Situ Yan felt that today's drama was singing ups and downs, and she thought that the song was going to end, but she didn't think that there would be another small climax when she came, which was really intriguing.
The yacha has been away all the year round, and he has long been surprised by these things, "You don't know how to be in this village, and when this happens, you take people to the county yamen and send them away, what kind of talk do you have to do with them." ”
"Now that this has happened in this Li family village, I have no face, but this Li Sanzhu's family is involved in the case, and although I have broken off my relationship with the murdered Li Shilang, I still have blood and bones, so I can't help it?" In fact, Muramasa didn't want to make trouble outside and let other villages see the jokes, but now that he was bumped into by the yacha, he knew that he couldn't hide it.
"If you want to solve this matter in the village, it depends on what the bitter master means?" Yacha looked at Li Shilang, thinking that if this bitter master didn't mean that, he would rather have more than one thing than one less thing, originally this errand was just to pass on a word, more of this, and go back to trouble the forbidden son (jailer), if there are too many things, there is no benefit.
It was the first time that Li Shilang was questioned by the Yacha, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, Situ Yan frowned, looked at Muramasa, and knew that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he had a plan in his heart, so he helped to speak.
"This Uncle Yacha, it's cold here, and my brother is still injured, can you go to Uncle Muramasa's house first and then discuss?" When Mura Zheng heard this, he knew that this girl would not make a big deal out of his face, and he was overjoyed, and his impression of Situ Yan was so good that he had nothing to say.
The villagers still dare to speak out at this time, and they all listen quietly to the official's words.
"Are you the sister of the bitter master?"
"Yes, I'm Li Shilang's sister with a different surname." Yacha didn't care, he also rushed a lot of roads, and he was thirsty at this time, so it was of course best to find a place to rest.
"A few of you are honest and stay at home, if the bitter master does not pursue it, you will pay some money, if the bitter master pursues you, you will wait to be put in prison by the board, if you want to escape, it is the best, I am worried that there is no chance to make meritorious contributions, if I can catch a fugitive with my own hands, I will not be far from being promoted."
Situ Yan had to admire this yacha, and in a few words, several members of Li Daniu's family were nailed to death at home, not to mention leaving the hospital, I am afraid that a few people would not even dare to step out of the door.
"Alright, the rest of the people are gone!"
The matter was inconclusive, and Situ Yan couldn't let Shiro go back to rest, so he asked Da Lang to carry Shiro to Muramasa's house and went directly into Xiao Yang'er's room to rest. It's enough to have her and Muramasa, and if the yacha has something to ask, just call Shiro again.
Aunt Fu served tea to the yacha first, and this tea was specially prepared by the head of the family for these officials, and they didn't drink it on weekdays.
Situ Yan waited for this yacha to drink tea, and then motioned to the village to ask, "Lord Yacha, what are you doing this time?" ”
"This is a notice from the government." The yacha handed the document to the village zheng, "When the day comes, it should be served" change "service, this year is not cold, so this time it is not in this county, but to go to the north of Xinchang County next to Xuansu County to dig a ditch, and send people to the county on the first day of November, if it is late, they will be punished for evasion." ”
"So can we 'live' this year, and how much is 'more'?"
"If you want to 'live', you will pay the silver here, and then go to the county to register, but this 'more' is more than in previous years, and a person will need five taels of silver, I'm afraid there are few who can pay it."
Situ Yan sat on the side, and finally understood the meaning of this, that is, the annual forced labor began, this is a major event in Lijia Village, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought about it, "Li Sanzhu, I want you to know that it is not so easy for people who offend me to die." ”
The two chatted for a while, and the yacha noticed that only a six-year-old baby in the bitter master's family stayed, and he couldn't help but look at it.
"My lord, don't look at this girl's young age, she is in charge of their family. Discuss this matter with her. ”
"Still a girl." Hearing that the baby in men's clothes in front of him was actually a girl, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and his heart was also curious.
Situ Yan briefly talked about her life experience and the four sons of the Li family, of course, she avoided the important and trivial, simple and clear. Yacha didn't care about any of this, but a six-year-old girl spoke more neatly than an adult, which caught his attention.
"Okay, girl, I understand what you are doing, what do you want to do?"
"No matter how bad these people are, they are always my godfather's relatives, although my godfather is gone, but I don't want his old man to live in peace in heaven, I think that even if there is a shortage of people to serve in the county now, it is better to pull several adult males of the Li family to serve, so that they can be regarded as punished, and add people to serve in the county, the best of both worlds, just because they are punished, so they can't 'pass more'."
"That's a good idea." Even Muramasa nodded in appreciation. The people in the village couldn't say anything about this punishment, they could only praise the kindness of the Li family, and only the people in the village knew about it, and he didn't go outside, and he was not ashamed of being a legitimate person in the village. This is not only two good, but four good and five good.
Yacha didn't expect this girl to turn out so much in just a while, originally just a trace of curiosity, but now she likes it a few more times.
"This girl is really like you said, goblin. Okay, I'll do this for you before I leave. But you can't just forget it, at least you have to let them pay for the medical expenses, I see that your fourth brother is injured on the head, and the spirit is okay, it shouldn't be too heavy, then pay two taels of silver! Do you like it? ”
"Everything listens to Uncle Yacha." Situ Yan is not interested in whether to lose money or not.
Things went smoothly, and the village led the yacha to Li Daniu's house again, and told Li Sanzhu that Dalang still remembered family affection and did not want to send them to the official office, as long as they went to serve in the force, they would be punished. The adult males of Li Daniu's family include Li Daniu, Li Erzhu, Li Sanzhu and Li Zhaocai, a total of four people did not escape. asked for two taels of silver from the Cao family, asked for the lock and key of Situ Yan's house back, and asked them to sign a confession document, so the matter was over.
Two taels of silver for the Cao family, it was like asking for her life, but she tightened her belt and saved for a year, so she could be regarded as saving enough for Zhaocai to save a tael of bundles, and now she took it all out, and added the one or two private rooms that Li Sanzhu had saved, so that the fine money could be collected, but there was a government at this time, how could she not give it, she didn't say it, but in her heart she still hated Li Dalang and Situ Yan to the bones.
It's just that Cao's hatred is insignificant to Situ Yan. The days have passed, and relatives have taken care of her, this is her character.
