Chapter 153: The show begins
In the second (rì), Liu Niangzi was still dressed plainly and cleanly, and led people out of the city.
Erkun, who was dressed as a beggar, saw her go out of the city, asked people to follow, and advised: "Keep an eye on it, and when you see that Mrs. Lin has begun to gather the displaced people and lease the fields, hurry back and report!" ”
The man replied yes and hurried to follow.
Erkun changed his clothes, entered through the back door of the Hou Mansion, and came to Qin Nianbai's courtyard.
"Madam, the little one has already found out clearly, Lord Qincha who is patrolling will pass through the Sanshen Slope where the displaced people are concentrated at noon today, and at that time, I will definitely be able to see Mrs. Lin's good deeds!" Erkun arched his hand.
Qin Nianbai nodded with satisfaction, He Yan's news can't be wrong, next, just wait to see the Lin family's good show!
"By the way, it's better to get the time right, otherwise you'll be wronged by Mrs. Liu, go ahead!" Qin Nianbai shook the deed of land in his hand and said calmly.
On the title deed, the words "A Baggage Property" are prominently written......
Erkun retreated, went out of the back door of the Hou Mansion, tiptoed into an alley, changed into a beggar's suit in the dilapidated house, and painted his face with mud.
With a stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, he looked like a dirty beggar, who deliberately limped down the street, begging passers-by for money from time to time.
Almost an hour later, the people sent by Erkun replied.
"Boss, Mrs. Lin has gathered more than 300 homeless people, is giving money to the homeless people, and has also issued documents for leasing fields, and the Qincha for inspection has also arrived, and she has not come up from a distance, this is the half-section of the lease documents you ordered!"
The man handed half a deed to Erkun.
Erkun looked at it, folded it into his arms with satisfaction, nodded and said, "This time it's our turn to play, let's go to the Lin Mansion for a trip!" ”
The two came to the door of the Lin Mansion and began to shout loudly that Mrs. Lin was a living Bodhisattva, and the housekeeper who guarded the door only thought that she was stinky and wanted to ask for some benefits, and she lost a few pennies and began to pick people up.
"Don't call here, get the money and get out!"
Their Lin Mansion also wants to lose face, if they beat these beggars, and the beggars go out to smear the Lin family, they can't afford to be slaves.
Erkun crooked his mouth, threw the money on the ground, and said loudly and honestly with a greedy face: "That's it, it's not enough for Lao Tzu to drink!" ”
The family clasped his hands impatiently, "What's the matter, if you want to make trouble, beware of me reporting to the official and arresting you!" ”
Erkun pushed Jiading to the ground at once, and spat at Jiading's face with a fierce momentum, "Phew, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will beat you to death now, quickly call your housekeeper out, be careful of Lao Tzu's fists!" ”
Another family member hurriedly ran in and shouted for someone, and after a while, a fat-headed and big-eared man in dark brown clothes hurriedly came out with a group of small men with sticks.
"Who dares to come to the Lin Mansion to make trouble! Eat the bear's heart and leopard gall! Steward Lin pulled up his sleeves and glared.
Erkun let go of the family who was pressed on the ground, and smiled, "You are the master's family, it's like this, the old lady let people put land outside the city for the homeless people to cultivate, the rent is only one floor, and the rent is not required for the first three years, and a few of us who ask for food also want some benefits, but the gatekeeper only gave a few pennies......
Steward Lin was Mrs. Lin's confidant, and when she heard that something was wrong, she immediately pricked up her ears and was arrogant, "Wait a while, when will our old lady give land to the homeless?" Put your mother's dog stinky (pì) again, and Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”
Erkun still had a smiling face, and pointed to the back, "Oh, how dare you talk nonsense, the flag on the carriage can have a big Lin character written on it, or a document issued by your Mrs. Lin herself, a hundred acres of fertile land, if it weren't for our brothers' snooze and didn't report their names, when they go, they would have been divided!" You see, I only grabbed half of the ......."
Before he finished speaking, half of the paperwork in his hand was snatched away by Steward Lin.
The more Steward Lin looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and he hurriedly ran in.
At this time, Mrs. Lin and Xiao Li were basking in the sun in the yard.
Seeing that Steward Lin came in a panic and accidentally bumped into Xiao Li, she scolded at the top of her throat: "There are no rules, why did you eat gunpowder!" I don't care about the point! ”
"Aunt Li, old lady, it's not good, two beggars came outside, saying that in the name of the old lady, the old lady distributed the land outside the city to the homeless!" Steward Lin said, handing half of the document in his hand to Mrs. Lin.
The old lady's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly picked up the half of the paperwork, looked at it carefully, and saw a few words of the Lin family, and her mouth (xiōng) was already angry.
Let the housekeeper quickly call the two beggars in for questioning!
As soon as Erkun, who was dressed as a beggar, saw Mrs. Lin, he knelt down and kowtowed with a smile, shouting in his mouth Living Bodhisattva, a great benevolent person.
Old Madam Lin pointed at him with a blue face and said, "I'll ask you, reply carefully, if there is half a truth, I will let people discount your legs!" ”
"Hey, living Bodhisattva, you just ask, the little one must know everything, if the answer is good, please inform Mrs. Lin, and give our brothers some fields, seeds, and money!" Erkun accompanied the smiling face, with a flattering and flattering face.
"You said that the Lin family gave land to the displaced people outside the city, or did I mean it?" Old Madam Lin asked angrily word by word.
Erkun came up with a smile and rubbed his hands, "Old lady, anyway, it's what you mean, Mrs. will definitely listen to what you say, and our brothers will also need two acres of land, not much!" ”
"Hit out!" Old Madam Lin roared angrily.
A few subordinates pushed and shoved Erkun and the two of them out.
Erkun smiled smoothly, "Let's go, let's go and report the good news to Mrs." ”
Mrs. Lin thought to herself, this daughter-in-law is usually courteous and flattering, but she didn't expect to do such a shameless thing.
She couldn't stand up with her legs and feet weak, and shouted to Xiao Li with a trembling voice: "Help me back to the room......"
The housekeeper also hurriedly helped Mrs. Lin to the house, she panicked and turned out a basin-sized box from the head cabinet (chuáng), took out the key from her neck, opened the box, and turned it over with shaking hands.
"Kill a thousand knives, little (jiàn) people! Hurry up and call my son back! Old Madam Lin cried out, and her face became more and more pale.
Xiao Li ran to the door, and quickly turned back crying, only then did she remember that Lord Lin went to the camp in the western suburbs to inspect today, and now she is going to invite, it is too late!
"Auntie, my cousin is not here......" Xiao Li jumped to his feet in a hurry.
"Your eldest brother is on duty in Xicheng, you quickly call someone to call him to bring more people over, I have to sink this (jiàn) woman into the pond today!" Old Madam Lin covered her mouth (xiōng) and yelled angrily.
At this time, Liu Niangzi had already sent out most of the land lease documents, and the porridge was almost done.
She asked a cart of seeds to be placed in front of her, smiling, "These are all seeds, I will give you all the seeds in a while, you take them down and sow them well, there will be a good harvest in the coming year, for the current stomach, I will send you some scattered silver in a while, try to survive the New Year!" ”
"What a living bodhisattva, a living bodhisattva!" The homeless people knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Niangzi, and at this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the purpose of her trip.
Even if the mother-in-law and the adult's pet (ài) who can't win, she doesn't care!
In the distance, a (shēn) plain clothes Qin Cha touched his long beard with satisfaction, and said to the left and right: "You have all written down such good deeds, and I will definitely ask the emperor for a reward for this Mrs. Lin!" ”
Nodding left and right, admiringly, "That's nature, Mrs. Lin is plainly dressed and generous, which is the blessing of Lord Lin!" ”
"After a while, she is done, and the official will go over to say hello!" Chincha-sama laughed.
Mrs. Lin has already begun to distribute seeds, and the scene is very happy, and after a while, the seeds have been distributed, and everyone is waiting in line to receive the money.
At this moment, everyone saw a group of people and horses in the distance hurrying towards this side, and the leader was wearing the uniform of the captain of the city gate guard.
These people scattered the homeless people in the queue, and the man who took the lead jumped off the horse, shook the short whip in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Everyone, listen to Lao Tzu, and hand over all the rice grain, silver money, and land deeds in your hands, otherwise Lao Tzu wants you to look good!" ”
The homeless people panicked and began to retreat in fear.
Although Liu Niangzi was a little scared, but these were her personal own, she stepped forward boldly, and did not want the one who took the lead to not only be not afraid, but scolded her.
"You still have the face to scold Lao Tzu, if it weren't for my cousin's sake, Lao Tzu would have slashed you, a heartless, ungrateful, and shameless (jiàn) woman! My aunt and sister's carriage is just behind, and watch her old man come, how to peel your skin! ”
Liu Niangzi's heart trembled, she looked at this person and looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
It's him, Li Bing, Aunt Li's brother!
When she became a relative, Aunt Li cried and cried that she dreamed of the first lady and took Master Lin away in the cave room.
Liu Niangzi chased her out at that time, but was stopped by this person, and warned her that if she dared to fight with her sister, she would not let herself have a good time!
"The money, food, and real estate I distribute belong to my Liu family, what does it have to do with you! Aren't you afraid of the laws of the court? ”
Liu Niangzi walked to the front, pointed at the man and said loudly.
"Hmph, the law, Lao Tzu is the law, it's done, my aunt is here!" The man pointed to Liu Niangzi and said triumphantly.
A carriage creaked from behind, the carriage stopped in the middle of the homeless, and out of it came a trembling old woman, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, her face pale!
Behind him came a bejeweled young lady dressed in red satin.
The old woman scolded Liu Niangzi with her head and face.
"(jiàn) woman, I will definitely pick your skin, carry my yang feng (yīn) behind my back, and steal the land deed! If you want to die a dignified death, hurry up and get the land deed! ”
Liu Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and infinite grievances surged in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Lin (rì) came to make trouble today, it must have been instigated by the two brothers and sisters.
