Chapter 224: Implicated
Lu Bai had something in his conscience, and suddenly Fan Ming talked to him, a little flustered, his lips trembled, and he was stunned on the spot and didn't react for a while, Fan Ming smiled and didn't care, it seems that the hidden truth can only be understood through other ways first.
After a meal, he was full of wine and food, and Fan Qin's family was a little tired at the end of the day, Fan Ming asked people to help the old lady go back to the room to rest, and then let people remove the table, put tea and pastries, and the sisters and brothers talked in the yard to eliminate food, Shoushun drank a little high, and Fan Ming asked people to arrange some sobering soup, so as not to lose his temper, although Chun Tao complained vigorously, his face was full of smiles, and this rare meal could not be too tight.
Seeing that the family was happy, Lu Bailiang, who was sitting on the side, was always silent, and his face did not have much smile, even with Qiuyue sitting in danger, Chun Tao couldn't look past it, and said to Qiuyue: "Third sister, I remember that you used to make a lot of trouble, and the younger brother and you were the best, why is it that now that the younger brother is out of breath, you have nothing to say." ”
When Chun Tao said this, Qiu Yue's face suddenly became a little unnatural, she looked at Lu Bailiang carefully, and said in a low voice: "Little brother is out, I'm also happy!" ”
Qiu Yue's low eyebrows and lowered eyes, Fan Ming looked a little distressed, although the memory of the past only existed in another soul, but this family affection in the bones can not be erased, from Fan Qin's mouth, I learned that the third sister used to be a lively and cheerful character, but now she has become silent, this is nothing more than two reasons, one is the predicament of the family, and the other is because of the third brother-in-law Lu Bailiang, "Third brother-in-law, but what happened to the family?" ”
As soon as Fan Ming's voice fell, Lu Bailiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly became emotional, his eyes stared at Fan Ming with a sense of indignation for no reason, Fan Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Bailiang to have this kind of reaction, how much grievance does it take to be able to cause!
Seeing that Lu Bailiang still didn't speak, he turned to Qiu Yue and said, "Third sister, say it!" ”
Qiu Yue shook her head and said in a low voice: "Little Wu, there's nothing going on at home, it's good!" ”
Fan Ming frowned, "Third sister, isn't it a family that doesn't enter the door, isn't there anything that is not borne by your own family?" Chun Tao also looked a little wrong, and also helped this and said: "Yes, third sister, if there are any difficulties at home, just tell the little brother, now that the little brother is out, it may not be a matter to say it." ”
Qiu Yue cautiously looked at Lu Bailiang on the side, bit her lip and said, "There was indeed an accident in the family a few days ago, and the elders of the clan said that they would expel the long house from the Lu family ancestral hall. ”
Fan Ming suddenly gasped, needless to say, this long room must be Lu Bailiang's sect, once he is expelled from the sect in this clan system, of course he knows very well, without the sect, it is equivalent to no guarantee of survival, this is very important in this land-based era, but it stands to reason that the Lu family has been in decline for so long, if the clan is to be expelled, it will be expelled long ago, and it will not wait until now.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Bailiang snort coldly, "What's the matter, isn't your Fan family still clear?" As soon as he spoke, Lu Bailiang simply stopped hiding his emotions, and stood up suddenly, his face flushed slightly while his chest rose and fell sharply, "I think that my family was doing their best to you, not to mention exhausting their wealth, even the ancestral house was sold, but now why do you want to kill me completely?" ”
Fan Ming's face sank, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Lu Bailiang didn't speak with a cold face, and Qiu Yue hurriedly explained: "I heard that there is a government messenger who has found the clan and wants the elders of the clan to expel the Changfang lineage from the clan, otherwise in the future, not only will the taxes be doubled, but also more husbands and daughters will be served, and the elders in the clan will also be forced to do so." ”
As soon as Qiu Yue finished speaking, Lu Bailiang's emotions became more and more excited, and his chest rose and fell sharply, "Speaking of which, isn't it all because of your Fan family, if it weren't for your Fan family, how could such a big family business of my Lu family fall into such a field, and you!" Lu Bailiang pointed at Qiuyue, "I haven't even been able to give birth to an egg for so many years, is it still a woman, it's really humiliating." ”
At first, Lu Bailiang's words made Fan Ming feel a little guilty, but what he said later made him a little annoyed, seeing Qiu Yue's tears rolling in his eyes while he was standing aside, his eyes glared at him, and shouted: "Shut up!" ”
was yelled at by Fan Ming, Lu Bailiang's mind also cleared up a little, realizing that his words were indeed a bit excessive, plus now Fan Ming's identity is not ordinary, if he wants to treat him, it can be said that it is a trivial matter, so he couldn't help but take a breath and sit down and stop talking.
Fan Ming also calmed down at this time, stood up, paced back and forth in the courtyard, his mind turned around, thinking of the trouble in the shop today, he seemed to have caught something, these things came too suddenly, it can't be said that it was an accident, his heart moved, and asked Chun Tao: "Sister, do you have something to do?" ”
Chun Tao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "There is really something, two days ago, the head of the household suddenly said that he wanted to send out your eldest brother-in-law's forced labor, and go to Yingtianfu to repair the channel, your eldest brother-in-law has made up the husband's service money, and we can't do it if we beg for it. ”
Listening to what Chun Tao said, Fan Ming also remembered that this matter was indeed mentioned in a requisition document he saw some time ago, which was a requisition document directly issued by Ying Tianfu, which was originally an routine routine to repair the waterway from Bianliang to Ying Tianfu every year, but isn't the scope of this requisition only in the Xiangjun system?
After thinking about it for a long time, Fan Ming could only attribute this matter to someone deliberately, it seems that his identity is not a secret at all, Xie Peinan suffered a loss in the yamen, which is equivalent to losing the face of Bu Xiancheng, of course, he has to use some other means to get back face, and even some unscrupulous means.
If this is the case, this is a warning that Bu Xiancheng has clearly given himself!
It's so deceitful!
At the beginning, he was innocent and could let go of his hands to play with them, but now he can't ignore the two sisters' families, and he is still not mature enough in the end!
Thinking of this, Fan Ming's brows furrowed, how to properly solve the current crisis has become the most urgent issue at the moment, and he can also investigate the matter of the yamen when he returns to the yamen, and it is simple to solve this problem, and it is also a matter of one sentence directly through the magistrate, but if it is really done like this, it will mean that the face will be completely torn, and it is difficult to ensure that Bu County Cheng has any actions behind.
