Chapter 33: Taking People
Jia Ke asked people to go around outside the village, and when they returned to the entrance of the village, Jia Ke said to Lin Zhixiao: "After entering the village, go directly to the village to find a wide open space and stop." β
Lin Zhixiao asked Jia Ke for instructions: "There is a stage in the village, the front is very wide, and everything in the village is discussed there, why don't you go to that stage?" β
Jia Ke said: "Then go to the stage." β
Lin Zhixiao hurriedly led the way in front, introduced the team into the village, and stopped in front of the stage in the village.
Jia Ke got out of the car and let the pro-soldiers rest in place, and he looked up at the stage. The stage is made of rammed earth, brick and stone edges, square brick paving, is a large platform, surrounded by wooden railings, on all sides of it with four columns, on top of a large square roof, square, open on all sides, there are stairs on both sides for people to go up and down. There is also a couplet on both sides,
Shanglian is: the opening of the party, coming from all sides, watching the world meet the road, and taking the stage like this;
The next link is: Suddenly closing the gong, disappearing in an instant, saving the wealth of the world, and the ending is like this.
The horizontal batch is: Seal Zhengqiankun.
Jia Ke looked at this couplet and felt intriguing, the roles performed on the stage are nothing more than the ugliness of life, benevolence, loyalty, etiquette, and shame. But how many of them take him seriously? But I'm afraid that some people today will know that the world is rich and rich, and the ending is like this.
After Jia Ke finished watching the stage, he went up the stairs to the stage, Lin Zhixiao was busy signaling to Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang was also clever and immediately understood. Dare to hurriedly bring up the stool and plug it clean with his sleeves. Please sit down.
Jia Ke sat on the stool and instructed Lin Zhixiao to say, "You go and call me the village leader." β
After that, he said to Liu Yu: "Send a few people to follow Steward Lin and seal Zhuangtou's home for me." β
Liu Yu immediately sent two soldiers to follow Lin Zhixiao.
Lin Zhixiao took people to the center of the village, a big mansion, this is Li An's house, every time he came before, he was still very envious, this house has three entrances before and after, and there is a small garden behind. More imposing than the average gentry. But now this house can become a ready-made sin for Ang Lee.
Lin Zhixiao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard someone speak inside the door: "Is that the one?" It's so noisy in the afternoon, and I don't want people to rest for a while. β
Lin Zhixiao said outside: "It's me, Lin Zhixiao, who came to find your master for something." β
The people inside knew Lin Zhixiao, knew that he was the steward of Rongguo Mansion, and Lin Zhixiao used to collect rent, and his own master was very respectful to this master. Don't dare to slack off now, open the door immediately.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Zhixiao wave his hand, and immediately a personal soldier stepped forward to push the door open. Two men were guarding the door.
The one who opened the door was stunned on the spot, he had seen such a formation.
Lin Zhixiao ignored him and walked directly into the front hall, and at this time, some servants had already noticed that something was wrong, and they went to the back to report to the master.
Lin Zhixiao came to the front hall and sat on the main seat, and his own soldiers lined up on both sides.
After a while, I heard a chaotic footsteps behind me, and I saw a middle-aged man walking out with two servants. This middle-aged man is so good-looking that this is Ang Lee.
As soon as Li An entered the front hall, he saw Lin Zhixiao sitting on the main seat, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Who opened my way, it turned out to be Lin Da Butler, unwelcome, unwelcome." Please also forgive your sins. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao didn't talk to him, he sat down on the guest seat next to him.
Lin Zhixiao saw him sit down and said to him: "I came here, and I have nothing to do, that is, someone wants to see you." β
Li An said: "I don't know who came, let Brother Lin come to me, there is such a big shelf." β
Lin Zhixiao glanced at him disdainfully: "I heard that Wangjiatun summoned the disaster, and the uncle was uneasy day and night, so he came to comfort the victims in person, and now he is on the stage, waiting for Steward Li to reply." β
Li An heard Lin Zhixiao's tone not good just now, and now he heard that the uncle was coming, and asked Lin Zhixiao to call him, at this time, he didn't know what happened, I'm afraid it will be worse.
Li An immediately got up and went to Lin Zhixiao's side, bowed down, and handed over a silver ticket from his sleeve, and said: "Brother Lin, the younger brother is a little bad this time, but the younger brother can't help it, I hope Brother Lin will say a few kind words in front of the uncle." The younger brother is grateful. β
Lin Zhixiao knew that he couldn't help but hint at him that there was someone behind him, and everyone was fine if he took the money, as long as he lived on it, everything was fine.
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help laughing, this Li An is really naΓ―ve, he dares to threaten him at this time, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Li An saw a smile on Lin Zhixiao's face, thinking that Lin Zhixiao had promised to help, and he was overjoyed. Just about to step forward and confess with Lin Zhixiao. I heard Lin Zhixiao shouting: "What kind of polluting thing, dare to bribe me, and you won't take it down with me." β
As soon as Lin Zhixiao finished drinking, he saw two personal soldiers come up and hold down Li An and press him to his knees.
Ang Lee struggled and shouted. Outside, Li An's servant had already been informed of Li An's family, and she was eavesdropping outside the hall at this time, and then she heard Li An calling for help inside. Immediately rushed in with a few servants to snatch Ang Lee.
Lin Zhixiao was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "You are a woman, you dare to come and mix in the big things in this house, don't die." He immediately ordered his soldiers to drive these servants aside and pull Li An's house away.
Lin Zhixiao scolded Li Anjia: "Ignorant woman, dare to be like this at this time, you really think that Mama Lai is the old lady in charge of Jiafu." β
At this time, Li An's family also knew that things were wrong, so they could only sit on the ground and cry bitterly.
Lin Zhixiao didn't pay attention to her after speaking. Ordered one of the captains who led the team to keep the mansion in prison and not let anyone enter or leave. After instructing him, he took two personal soldiers to suppress Li An, and went to the stage to find Jia Ke to restore his life.
But at this time, Li An was already paralyzed on the ground and couldn't walk, so Lin Zhixiao had to order two personal soldiers to drag Li An away.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao and the others left the house, they were discovered by the villagers.
The villagers were all talking about it, speculating with each other who Li Daguan had offended, and the usual dignified person was dragged away like this, embarrassed. Out of curiosity, he followed Lin Zhixiao all the way to the stage.
As soon as I arrived at the stage, I saw that there were dozens of family members in front of the stage, all of them burly and imposing, standing motionless like pillars.
And on the stage sat a little teenager. At this time, the young man sat on the stage, his face was gloomy, and people were afraid to look at it.
Lin Zhixiao ordered someone to press Li An to the stage, and he went to the stage to report to Jia Ke.
The two pro-soldiers pressed Li An to the stage and pressed him to kneel, Li An knew that the above was the eldest son of the second master, and he didn't dare to resist and kneel obediently. Peeked at Jia Ke's face on the stage, and saw Jia Ke's gloomy face, and knew that it was not good. This is to be the east window incident.
Originally, he didn't want to do this this year, but his uncle said that Jia Ke was young and ignorant, and he grew up in a wealthy family, how could he know the suffering of the world, and they would have the previous five or six years of income if they did it this time. If Jia Ke grows up in a few years, it will not be easy to fool, and it will depend on the past few years to get rich. He listened to the reason and did according to Lai Da's arrangement, and it was quite smooth at first, and the government not only exempted this year's rent, but also put grain and silver taels. He sold the grain and the rent he had collected this year, plus the silver from the house for disaster relief, which amounted to three thousand taels, and he divided nearly one thousand taels. I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect Jia Ke to come with someone. Look at this posture can't be good.
