Chapter 126: The Impact of Gambling
After more than ten days of spreading, the Song family has done a lot of good deeds for a hundred years just to buy a name, and it soon spread to their hometown in Fengxin County, Jiangxi.
The bureaucrats and gentry of Fengxin County were in an uproar, but they were also happy.
In today's officialdom, it has become a norm, and which official is not corrupt has become an alternative, and he will be excluded by his colleagues, after all, there is no collusion.
If you don't embezzle, you are an outlier, not to mention the scholarly family of the Song family in Shanjitang, who repairs bridges, paves roads, gives porridge, and provides disaster relief, is simply a thorn in the side of the bureaucrats and gentry of Fengxin County.
The Song family of Shanjitang has done so many good deeds, doesn't it seem that the other bureaucrats and squires in Fengxin County are a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the local heroes are strong, and they have long thought about how to collapse the Song family.
Now this news, for the bureaucratic squires of Fengxin County, is no less than the high school champion of their own family.
Among them, the Eryoutang Yin family is the most enthusiastic about this matter, the Eryoutang Yin family is also a scholarly family in Fengxin County, and the ancestor had a music and rhythm family in the previous dynasty.
It's a pity that there is no successor, and he is slowly lonely, and among the many squire clans in Fengxin County, he can barely maintain the fourth position.
The scholarly family in front of the Yin family of Eryoutang is the Song family of Shanjitang.
Yin Chengde, the eldest son of the long house, has always wanted to pull the Song family off the horse, so that his family can become the top three in Fengxin County, and when he learned of this once-in-a-lifetime good news, he rode a little donkey to Cai's house as soon as possible.
As the first squire in Fengxin County, the Cai family ranks first in power, but its reputation is much inferior to the Song family, which ranks third, and has always been regarded as a great shame by the Cai family in Jiufengtang.
In addition, the Cai family has long coveted the feng shui treasure of the ancestral tomb of the Song family, and they wish to completely destroy the Song family.
If you want to completely destroy the Song family, it is simple, you have to start from the Song family's century-old reputation, as long as you destroy the most cherished things of the Song family, the entire Song family will collapse.
Yin Chengde came to the door of Cai's house, and was immediately taken to the main hall of Cai's house by the porter, and the Cai family's son had already prepared Mingqian tea and waited for Yin Chengde to come to the door.
Yin Chengde's figure and appearance are very ordinary, the only thing that is more eye-catching, the whole person's temperament looks gloomy, like a villain who sits at home all day long and calculates others.
Born from the heart, Yin Chengde's temperament is also relatively gloomy, he walked into the main hall and said straight to the point: "Brother Cai, the opportunity to destroy the Song family has come, and I also ask Brother Cai to invite our squire with a head and face in Fengxin County to come over." ”
The Cai family has already begun to arrange this matter, and the squires from various townships in Fengxin County have also rushed to the county seat one after another, and there is only one person left to take the lead.
The Cai family has a special habit, he likes to play with bone tools, and he also likes to ask monks to carve Buddhist scriptures on bone tools, gently rub the Buddhist scriptures and bones in his hand, and nod and said: "This matter needs to be led by Brother Yin Xian, and it will be up to Brother Yin Xian tomorrow." ”
Yin Chengde knows that there are no pastries to eat for free in the world, and if he wants to bring down the Song family, he needs to use the power of the Cai family, and the person who takes the lead can only be himself.
Yin Chengde arched his hand: "Brother Cai, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
The Cai family played with the Buddhist scriptures and bone tools in his hand, and his face gradually showed a hint of relaxation.
The Song family can finally be eradicated, and the Song family, a mountain of kindness, has been pressed on the head of the Cai family for decades, which has brought great pressure to the Cai family.
Under pressure, the Cai family could only take out two or three hundred taels of silver that they had finally scavenged to help those ordinary people who were like animals.
That's two or three hundred taels of silver, which is enough for the Cai family to raise another concubine.
The next day.
Song Family School, under the plane tree.
Song Yingsheng, the son of the Song family, wore a right-hand robe and held a volume of "Twenty-four Filial Piety" to teach the young children of the clan to read.
Just when he read Lying Bing begging for carp, a Song family disciple ran in in a panic: "Big brother, it's not good!" ”
The son of the Song family turned to look at the child of the Song family, put down the scroll in his hand, took out a hand towel from the bookcase that often wiped the saliva of the children, and handed it over: "Ninth brother, why are you in such a hurry." ”
The old nine of the Song family wiped the sweat from his head indiscriminately, and said anxiously: "Yin Chengde, that dog thing, colluded with all the squires in the county. ”
"It is said that the ancestral grave of the Song family has hindered the water conservancy in the county, and we want to dig up our ancestral grave."
The son of the Song family thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Yin Chengde is not so bold, the mastermind behind the scenes should be Cai Dongge." ”
"Ninth brother, you immediately go and gather all the children of the Song family, remember, this time you must take the bamboo gun hidden in the cellar of the Song family."
"Since the news of slandering the reputation of the Song family came from the capital, I was worried that one day, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it seems that this time it can't be good."
The anxious Song family Lao Jiu looked at the eldest brother, calm, and dealt with this matter step by step in an orderly manner, and his heart was not so flustered: "I know the eldest brother." ”
The ancestral tomb of the Song family.
A large number of children from various families armed with bamboo guns and iron knives gathered, as many as 1,000 people.
The successive dynasties governed the locality, and it has always been the government decree not to go to the countryside, the township is autonomous, and if there are disputes and contradictions, the squires will come forward to solve them, which has caused a headache for the dynasties.
Clan fighting.
The children of the Song family followed the sons of the Song family to the ancestral tomb, and when they saw this formation, they were immediately stupid, there were only twenty or thirty men in the Song family, and there were thousands of people on the other side, how could they have beaten them.
The son of the Song family asked the children of the Song family to stand still and not move, and walked over from the thousands of people with a calm demeanor, step by step, with a calm demeanor.
This group of fierce and vicious children originally thought that the Song family would be scared, but they didn't expect the Song family to be so calm, and they were calmed by the Song family's temperament on the spot, and automatically got out of the way.
Yin Chengde couldn't get used to the Song family's eternal demeanor, and he also smiled calmly: "In the past, because of the reputation of the Song family, the people in the county would still help you." ”
"Now that the reputation of the Song family has been completely ruined, and there are no ordinary people to help the Song family, I advise you to get out of the way as soon as possible, so as not to die in the clan fight."
When it comes to the Song family's reputation ruined, the squires are indescribably happy.
"Haha, Brother Yin is right, let you build bridges and pave roads for relief and soup kitchen, now lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot."
"That's it, that's it, don't say it's Fengxin County now, who in the whole world doesn't know that the Song family is all fame and reputation, and they do good deeds just to buy fame."
"But no, a hypocrite like the Song family might as well die."
The Song family did not ask for anything in return, and did a hundred years of good deeds, but in the end they ended up being infamous as a hypocrite.
The son of the Song family felt a great grief in his heart, and almost shed tears, and his mood was a little low: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. ”
"Hypocrite!"
"Hypocrite!"
"Hypocrite!"
Those children of various families who were instigated angrily shouted out the word hypocrite, and thousands of people shouted it together, gathering into a mountain and shouting a tsunami, impacting the hearts of the children of the Song family over and over again.
suffered such a great grievance for no reason, and the tears of the children of the Song family flowed instantly.
Who in the world doesn't want to live a good life, they don't hesitate to give up their lives of fine clothes and food, and eat brown rice and vegetables every day, just to let more villagers live.
Unexpectedly, in exchange for a hypocrite.
The tears of the Song family's sons kept rolling in their eyes, but as the eldest son of the long house, he must be strong and never let the tears fall.
Pursed his lips tightly, suppressed the sadness in his heart and said: "I advise you to go back, this county hall respects people upright, if someone from the Song family dies here, no one can escape the blame." ”
Yin Chengde saw the miserable appearance of the Song family, and almost laughed with joy: "The parents and officials of this county used to admire the reputation of the Song family, and often helped the Song family. ”
"Do you think you will still help the Song family now?"
The son of the Song family opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he was still silent.
Yin Chengde seemed to want to completely defeat the Song family, and continued: "The county and the master will not come. ”
"It is estimated that I am scolding hypocrites now, but I didn't expect the Song family, who has admired them for so many years, to have such a face."
Yin Chengde walked over, stared at the depressed Song family, and laughed: "Let me tell you clearly, we have dug up the ancestral grave of the Song family." ”
"From today onwards, the Song family of Shanjitang is also destined to become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them."
Although the Song family was reluctant to admit it, they knew in their hearts that this had become a fact, an unchangeable fact.
The greatest wish in this life is to stand under the plane tree and watch the children of the Song family grow up from generation to generation, and he is completely desperate.
Could it be that the ancestral tomb of the Song family is going to be destroyed in his own hands.
"Mr. Yingsheng, don't be afraid, we're here!"
With a sound of no fear, many villagers dressed in coarse linen rushed out of the green fields, holding hoes, rakes, and sickles, and surrounded the squires of Fengxin County in the middle.
Thousands of them are scattered all over the mountains.
Yin Chengde never thought that at this time, these ignorant villagers would still help the Song family, turned around and walked over and shouted: "The Song family has done good deeds for so many years, just to buy fame." ”
"You have all been used, and you have also been deceived by the Song family."
An old man of ancient age, trembling with the support of his grandson, came over, and interrupted Yin Chengde with fierce words: "Whether the Song family wants to buy a name or use it, we crop men don't understand. ”
"We only know that my grandfather, my father, me, my son, and grandson have all eaten the porridge of the Song family."
"We don't care what the Song family is for, we only know that the Song family has been alive for us from generation to generation."
Maybe he was too excited, the old man of Gu Xi almost knocked the crutch in his hand on Yin Chengde's head: "Today, if anyone dares to touch the Song family, we will knock his head to pieces." ”
The old man Gu Xi also killed the Annan people in the southeast frontier back then, and when he saw blood, he held the crutch as a goose sword as if he was in the army: "The grace of life!" ”
"The Grace of Survival!"
"The Grace of Survival!"
"The Grace of Survival!"
The villagers in Fengxin County and several nearby counties suddenly roared with the old man, holding farm tools in their hands, staring at the squire's children in front of them.
Hearing this louder roar in the wilderness, the son of the Song family immediately lowered his head, and his body trembled slightly.
Everything Grandpa did was worth it.
Yin Chengde retreated again and again in fright, shrinking into the crowd and not daring to speak.
The Cai family stood up, he likes to reserve a back hand for everything, and he has estimated this situation, but the possibility is very small, I didn't expect it to happen.
Seeing that the squires had already retreated, the Cai family said in order to stabilize people's hearts: "Don't worry, I have already greeted Inspector Zhao of the Inspection Department in advance. ”
"Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and when Inspector Zhao comes over with the soldiers of the Inspection Division, these foolish people will automatically disperse."
As soon as he finished saying this, that Zhao Inspector really rushed over with hundreds of inspection soldiers, wearing Fan Yangli, wearing military jackets, and holding spears.
The villagers, numbering several thousand, dispersed in a hurry, as he had expected, except for the old man standing in the middle of the road.
The Cai family's son showed a relaxed smile: "Everyone, I'm not wrong.........
Before he finished speaking, Inspector Zhao led the soldiers over thousands of villagers, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Surround these chaotic ministers and thieves for this official, today this official wants to see who dares to touch the Song family!" ”
The sons and sons of the Cai family and the squires all looked at Zhao Patrol with idiot eyes, this Qiu Ba is crazy, and at this time, he is still protecting the Song family, which is gone.
Soon, they knew why Zhao Inspector did this.
Behind the hundreds of soldiers, there were dozens of errands, but these errands were not holding red tasseled spears, but honor guards.
There are two errand officers at the head of the platoon, holding the Silence card and the evasion card in their hands.
The two errand officers who followed were holding up the honor guard cards in their hands, which respectively read the Ministry of Works, the Servant of the Ministry of Works, and the Hunting on behalf of the Heavens.
It's just that the two servants took it too low, and the Cai family and the squires didn't see it, and they were quickly attracted by the things behind.
In the middle, two officers carry a gong, and next to him is a mallet in his hand, ready to strike the gong.
After that, the officers carried black sheath whips, golden melons, tail guns, black fans, yellow umbrellas and other accompanying honor guards.
The distance was relatively close, and the messenger began to beat the gong.
The gong sounded seven times, and the squires such as the Cai family still had the same flat expressions.
The gong sounded nine times, and the faces of the squires such as the Cai family changed, seven times it was for officials at the county level to travel, and nine times it was for officials at the state government level.
The gong sounded eleven times, and cold sweat broke out on the faces of the squires such as the Cai family, and several squires almost knelt on the ground, which represented the travel of a provincial-level official of the feudal territory.
What scared them to pee their pants was that the gong did not stop, and it struck twice again.
Sound the gong thirteen times.
This time, even the Cai family, who was the most calm and stable, couldn't stand up, which meant that the central level of the Beijing official was coming.
The Cai family and other squires hurriedly poked their heads to look and saw a scarlet official robe embroidered with peacock patches.
Positive three products!
This group of squires in the county, the prefect has never met a few times, let alone the central ministers from the capital, and some squires sat on the ground on the spot.
Xu Guangqi stepped off the official sedan chair, and there were many officials at the county level and many officials at the state capital level around him, carefully accompanying the smiling face.
Xu Guangqi didn't say hello to anyone, walked over with a straight face, and when he walked to Yin Chengde's side, he didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.
It was such a slight shaking of the head, but it made all the officials present remember that in half a month at most, the Yin family will inevitably be ruined.
Xu Guangqi walked to the stunned Song family's son, smiled and nodded lightly, took out a familiar xuan from his arms, and held it above his head: "In order to commend the Song family's good deeds over the past hundred years, the Holy Lord has given a memorial arch." ”
The son of the Song family suddenly raised his head and saw the four big characters on it.
Soon he lowered his head again and cried bitterly.
Second, meritorious service.
