Section 251 Autumn Fu (16)
The activities of the second network and Huang Yukun's secret finally dried up to the high and dark, and the confusion stopped to **. Finally, there was violence. A grain household was harassed and blackmailed many times due to poor food. Finally knocked the other party out of the door.
Of course, violence is a common occurrence in the annual grain requisition, and the poor people sometimes beat people. Sometimes beaten. It's not a big deal. Chen Minggang heard that his subordinates had been beaten, and he was secretly happy in his heart
Violent resistance. This is more than haode charges. In the past, the county did not dare to offend you. Now Australians don't eat it.
At that time, he took care of the people and wrote off the grain that the family had paid, and counted it as a household that had not paid the grain arrears for the rice consumption.
This is ten days. The richer the county, the more disturbed they became. It is rumored that Chen Mingwang colluded with fashionable thieves. I'm going to take a few big houses. Kill chickens and make monkeys. There are also legends that Chen Mingwang is completely "falsely preaching the holy decree" for a while, and all kinds of real and fake news are flying all over the sky, making it impossible to distinguish between them
Because they don't know what the outcome of the negotiation will be, the big families are nervously preparing: some people hide their belongings, and some send away their wives and children. There are also those who are reinforcing the wall. In order to buy people's hearts, many large families also exempted and reduced the rent of tenants, and increased the wages of long-term workers and domestic servants.
Some families don't even live in their own homes. Stay in a well-fortified village with friends and relatives. The tension gradually reached its peak.
Zou De according to the return of all aspects. Knowing that Huang Yukun had completed the collection of the joint stickers, and was ready to officially go to the management office building in Dongmen City three days later to hand it over to the local aborigines could not enter Bairen City. This place does have some of the characteristics of the yamen. For example, various dispute mediation, land lease, and arrest.
As for Chen Mingwang and his gang, they are also ready to deal with it. According to Chen Mingwang's instructions, three people have been found from the county as the guilty. Said yes, if the Australians were going to kill someone. It is according to the three hundred and twenty-one bereavement pension, if it is a labor camp. If you stay in it for a month, you will be given five taels of silver.
The family members will pay 30 taels for settling-in. In case Australians are not subject to this. Pulled the wool over your eyes. The big families refused to let it go, and insisted that he hand over his backbone. Chen Mingwang also thought about it, so he handed over Zhou Qi as his eldest apprentice. Enough to keep everyone satisfied. He was tired of this apprentice. Not only did he make small moves behind his back, but also because of the rumors about Zhou Qi and Qiu Hong that were widely circulated in the county.
So-called rumors can also kill. Originally, it was a non-existent thing. Chen Mingwang also knew that there was no adultery between the two, but this story was spread too widely and vividly. It's been a long time, but it seems to be true, so that he can't hold his face.
Zhou Qi seemed to work very hard, going to the countryside every day, and going there for several days. It's just that every time I come back, my face looks heavy. Even Chen Mingwang didn't dare to meet in person, because things didn't go well.
"It's really a waste, a Chen Mingwang secretly scolded. About this unsuccessful apprentice has taken a large amount of benefits from others, and now he has not come out, and it will be difficult to speak again. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that his decision to throw Zhou Qi out as a substitute for the dead ghost was correct.
The day has finally arrived. Huang Yukun and Li Xiaopeng originally planned to mobilize the students of the county school and Caiboxxuan Academy to go to school together. But this matter was persuaded by Wang Ci, and he thought: This matter should not be made big.
"Yukun. You and Mr. Liu, just go together. If there are too many people to go, there will be many people. Maybe if you say something inappropriate, then the people of Aoyuan will be annoyed and angry, and if you want to do this, you can't do it
"Show them the bones of the Lingao scholars."
"Yukun!" Wang Ci stopped his high-minded talk, "Don't be rash! The Australians are armed with swords. It's an outsider again. It's rare that they have some hearts now, so they can only slowly figure it out. You're taking the students to make trouble like this. If you annoy them, you can't come back to life! ”
Huang Yukun calmly thought that Wang Ci's words were right, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. taught yes." ”
"It's rare for Mr. Liu to come out and administer justice in this matter. You just need to accompany Mr. Liu with filial piety and a few people. Australians have a lot of respect for Mr. Liu. With him in his presence, things can always turn around
Huang Yukun is only promised. In his opinion: Australian people are insatiable. Liu Dashuang came forward. The other party must be a false response to the accident and make some concessions symbolically. The essence of aggregation will not change.
Judging from his many years of experience in following his father to suppress bandits, whether it is a bandit or a pirate, the root is food. The great crowd that had gathered was in chaos without food. Hipsters are no exception. Now that they have control of Lingao, they will not let go of this opportunity to collect a large amount of food.
But that's fine. Huang Yukun thought that he could make the big families who were originally lucky stand firm. It's much easier to do anything later. Second, Huang Yukun and Li Xiaopeng, as well as a few friends and domestic servants, helped to torture Liu Dashuang in the west of Gancheng. It was already full of relatives and friends of the Liu family who had fled from the countryside to ask for help. I heard that Liu Dashuang was going to talk to the Australians about autumn grain in person. Everyone got up early and gathered under the eaves of the porch to see them off.
Liu Dashuang was neatly dressed, and his robe was pushed out of the house by the servants with a clear belt. When everyone saw his heroic and righteous appearance, they praised him: He is indeed a virtuous and noble person.
Huang Yukun and the others saw the ceremony and pushed the wheelchair outside. The three relatives and servants of the Liu family under the corridor, one by one. Stop and watch. There are still people who make bows.
Liu Dashuang sat in a wheelchair, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt impassioned in his chest, and secretly blamed himself for thinking nonsense. Something I want to say. I couldn't think of the right words for a while, so I had to return the favor
Outside the door, a bamboo and rattan sedan chair has been prepared. They lifted him onto the palanquin. Huang Yukun and others neither rode in a sedan chair nor on a horse, but only accompanied them on foot.
The gate of the county government is closed. During the busy farming season, the county government does not announce as usual. The matter of requisitioning grain and fields is too tricky, but fortunately, Liu Dashuang is also good. Huang Yukun didn't come to the county office, Shizhong is still Australian, and they can't afford to provoke any of them, so they are happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"What if something really happens?" Wu Mingjin has a small concern about this matter. When collecting grain, if you make a "troubled grain". His future is over.
The so-called grain disturbance is the large-scale refusal of grain households in the county to pay grain taxes. Of course, this is a major violation of the king's law, but the responsibility of the county order is also very heavy, and the dismissal and resignation of officials are certain.
Wang Zhaomin was very sure, he smiled confidently and said, "Dong Weng! You're afraid of getting into trouble. Aren't Australians afraid? ”
Wu Mingjin bowed slightly, admiring this master very much.
"Just wait and see." Wang Zhaomin pretended to add a profound sentence. Of course, as far as he and the county magistrate are concerned, doing nothing is the best choice.
Liu Dashuang's sedan chair arrived at the management office building in Dongmen City. Send someone to deliver the name post. Dugu's marriage proposal and Xiong Buyou are already waiting in the inside. They received Gao De's instructions to prepare to receive the "petitioners" and to be "courteous and thorough"
"One, the landlords still have to be polite?" Dugu proposed dissatisfied.
"Who called him the only one, Jinshi? I'm going to take advantage of him. Xiong Buyou stood up, dressed up, and greeted Dugu with his marriage proposal
Liu Dashuang is the first time to come to the door of the Australians. It's still the Australian yamen. Very curious to look around. I saw that this was a two-story building made of red bricks, and it was very square and very regular. The windows are large and narrow. inlaid with sparkling glass..."
"It's too extravagant." Liu Dashuang shook his head. I saw that the upper end of the gate was semicircular, and it was very tall.
There was also a black-clad rattan officer standing by the door. This is the so-called "police", and I heard that they are all local natives.
I saw two people coming out of the door. One is tall and one is short, one is fat and one is thin. Complement each other. Both of them wore four blue cloth cardigans, no hats, and their hair was cut like monks. Wear canvas shoes with ropes on your feet. There is no silk on the top and bottom of the body. There are no play-free accessories either.
Liu Dashuang was surprised to see that the leader of the Australians was dressed so plainly. According to what he heard, Australians are good at making money, and they are good at making all kinds of goods with strange and obscene skills, and they should have accumulated a lot of wealth. Look at what they do on a daily basis: build roads and bridges. Run a school and build a big ship. Either one is a business that costs a lot of money. I didn't expect it to be so hard for personal enjoyment! I couldn't help but feel a little respectful in my heart.
Xiong Buyou greeted him, exchanged a few words, and immediately welcomed him and the group to the reception room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the reception room, Liu Dashuang almost didn't laugh. It seems that although Australians are very capable, they are actually very vulgar. A big room. Painted snow-white walls. The floor is also made of haode wood. The autumn sun shines through the glass windows. It's very bright. The furniture inside is not in order.
On the wall, like a stall selling paintings, all kinds of calligraphy and paintings are densely hung. Whether it's a nave, a banner or an interstitial screen, there are even a few fans. Landscapes, flowers and birds, fine brushwork, freehand, splashed ink, green "all kinds of random hanging everywhere. Among them, there are actually a few Suzhou films.
In the corner, there are several large vases at random. There is a feather duster in it, and this kind of big vase is more than half a person high, and it is not needed in industry, and everyone doesn't want this thing to decorate the house, and it's a pity to destroy it, so they just come here to exert their residual heat. Obviously, Australians have a terrible sense of appreciation. To say that they are nouveau riche are lifted. Liu Dashuang shook his head secretly. The rich landowners of this county are of better taste than they are.
