Chapter 161: Father and Son
Da Bing and Cui Jiu disguised themselves as merchants, and as soon as they walked into Meizhen, they saw that the pedestrians on the street were flocking in one direction like a tide, and something big seemed to have happened there. [Full text reading]
The soldier grabbed one of them and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”
"You don't know yet? The fifth young master of the Huang family wants to burn all the land deeds and account books, this is not going to live, I have to hurry over to see the excitement. When the man had finished speaking, he hurried forward again.
The soldier turned around and exchanged glances with Cui Jiu, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
At that moment, the two were mixed in the crowd, and with the crowd came to the archway at the west end of Meizhen.
Meizhen had a Jinshi in the former Qing Dynasty, and later became a high-ranking official in the ministry, and this archway was built by the former Qing Dynasty court for the Jinshi, but the family where the Jinshi belonged had already fallen.
When the GI and Cui Jiu arrived, they happened to see a young man in a black student uniform directing several guards to pour out baskets of land deeds, land deeds, and account books, and actually stacked them into a hill.
Seeing the land deeds and land deeds stacked like a hill, the soldier's eyes immediately turned red, which reminded him of the prince of his hometown, and the Wang family's land deeds, land deeds and deeds of sale were also loaded in baskets.
Seeing this, Cui Jiu immediately patted the soldier lightly on the shoulder.
"I'm fine." The soldier immediately came to his senses and whispered, "It seems that this Huang family is not a good thing, and it is most likely that it was taken by ingenuity to accumulate such a big business." ”
Cui Jiu smiled, but did not express any opinions.
In this era, bullying landlords are not uncommon, but not all landlords are bullies.
At this time, the young student shouted: "Folks, be quiet, please be quiet!" ”
The noise of the surrounding villagers stopped for a while, and the young student said again: "Fellow villagers, I know that these fields and these lands were taken from you by my father with great effort and means over the years, and I know that these land deeds and land deeds are full of your blood and tears. ”
Hearing this, the surroundings suddenly became silent.
After a pause, the young student's voice became even louder: "Now, I have burned all these land deeds, title deeds, and account books, and from now on, the fields and houses sold to my family by all the pawns will be returned to you free of charge, and the rice and grain rent you borrowed from my family will also be written off, and there is no need to pay them back!" ”
Hearing this, the surrounding villagers immediately applauded and applauded vigorously.
The applause and applause of the villagers gave the young student a great encouragement, and he immediately turned around and said to the nurses behind him: "Burn, burn all this bloody filth for me!" ”
The leader of the courtyard holding the torch hesitated: "Fifth young master, do you really want to burn?" ”
The head of the nursing home can't help but hesitate, these land deeds, title deeds and account books are all money.
"Burn, burn, burn, not a single one!" The young student waved his hand vigorously and said loudly.
The head of the nursing home swallowed his saliva, and could only hold a torch to burn the field deeds, land deeds and account books stacked into a small mountain, no way, because before going out, the old man had specially explained that this year's rent and interest income and expenditure had to listen to the fifth young master, and even the old housekeeper couldn't stop the fifth young master's nonsense, not to mention their nursing homes.
Just when the torch in the hands of the leader of the courtyard was about to burn the pile of land deeds, title deeds and account books, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the street opposite the archway: "Stop, stop for me......"
Young students, a group of nurses, and onlookers turned around one after another.
Cui Jiu and the soldiers also looked back, and saw two old men hurrying along the street, both old men were wearing black homespun coats, and the soles of their feet were also wearing the same black cloth shoes, the only difference was that the melon skin hat on the top of the old man's head was inlaid with an emerald gem, which looked obviously not ordinary.
"Master Huang?!"
"Butler Huang?!"
The villagers around screamed.
The nurses were immediately stupid, not knowing who to listen to.
When the young student saw this, he immediately snatched the torch from the head of the courtyard and threw it on the pile of account books, which immediately smoked and burned.
By the time Steward Huang and Master Huang rushed to the archway out of breath, half of the pile of account books had already been burned.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper Huang Delu did not hesitate to roll his body onto the pile of account books, and while rolling, he shouted hoarsely to order the nursing home standing next to him to extinguish the fire.
Looking at the account books that had burned nearly half of them, Huang Shixun was so angry that he beat his chest and cried.
"Iniquity, iniquity, iniquity." Huang Shixun smashed his chest with his fist, and cried bitterly, "What did I do in my previous life, why did I give birth to such a rebel as you, ahh......h
The young Huang Shou's confidence was full of pride in hunting to save the world and help the people, and said: "Dad, you didn't do any evil in your previous life, but you really did a lot of evil in this life, I am helping you wash away your grievances and help you accumulate virtue." ”
"You're helping me accumulate virtue?" Huang Shixun looked at Huang Shouxin directly, and his tone changed.
"Isn't it?" Huang Shouxin stretched out his hand and pointed around, and said loudly, "Open your eyes and see, what have become of the villagers in Meizhen who have been harmed by you?" , Our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but the villagers are hungry, do you know what I saw when I went to Xicun to collect rent today, the seventh uncle's house can't open the pot! ”
After a pause, Huang Shouxin said again: "In less than 30 years, more than half of the paddy fields and mountains in Meizhen have fallen under our family's name, and more than half of the 2,000 households in Meizhen are tenants of our family. ”
"I bought it all for real money!" Huang Shixun was furious, "Has there ever been a point that was snatched by ingenuity? ”
After finishing speaking, Huang Shixun turned to the villagers around him and asked loudly: "Fellow villagers, every time you pawn and sell fields, shops and houses, has Huang ever forced to buy and sell?" Which time is not fair trade? ”
"Fair trade?" Huang Shouxin said hungrily, "Every time you borrow a rent, it's a small bucket out, a big bucket in, a small bucket out and a big bucket in, and when you lend it, you also let the fourth brother kick it and wipe the small bucket flat, lest there be an extra grain of rice, but when you come back, you ask others to pile the big bucket sharply, lest you receive one less grain, you also call it fair?" ”
Huang Shixun said angrily: "These are all rules handed down by the elders, and they have been doing this for hundreds of years. ”
"That's why we have to break this damn rule, that's why we have to break this rotten system!" Huang Shouxin said with a rise and raised his arms and shouted, "Only by breaking these old rules and breaking this rotten system can there be no exploitation and oppression, and only then will our country have hope and our nation will have a ...... future."
"Smack!" Huang Shixun couldn't bear it anymore, and finally slapped Huang Shouxin in the face.
"Get out!" Huang Shixun was angry from his heart, and shouted loudly, "If you have hope, our Huang family will have no hope, if you have a future, our old Huang family will have no future, get out, get out, just when I Huang Shixun has never had a son like you, I don't have a son like you, you get out of me, get out of me, get out of me, get out!" ”
Huang Shouxin looked at his father in a daze, and was a little stunned.
Since childhood, Huang Shixun has always been very precious to this child, he has always held it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, Huang Shixun has always been very disgusted with Xinxue, but Huang Shouxin clamored to go to the provincial capital to study Xinxue, Huang Shixun is still from, Huang Shouxin has grown to such a big age, Huang Shixun has never touched a finger of him.
Speaking of which, today is the first time that Huang Shixun has beaten Huang Shouxin.
"Get out, get out of here!" But this time, Huang Shixun was really angry.
Huang Shixun can tolerate Huang Shouxin's nonsense, but this time, he feels that his son is no longer messing around, but asking him to die and digging the foundation of the old Huang family, so he can't bear it anymore, if he has to let him choose between the family business and the most beloved child, he will not hesitate to choose the family and family business.
The older generation has a deep-rooted obsession with the family and the family business.
Huang Shouxin finally came back to his senses from the huge shock, first knelt on the ground and gave Huang Shixun three heavy knocks, and then got up and left without looking back, the old housekeeper Huang Delu came over with a disgraced face, trying to persuade Huang Shouxin, but Huang Shouxin didn't even pay attention to Huang Delu, and after a while, Huang Shouxin walked away from the street without a trace.
Huang Shixun withdrew his gaze from the street and landed on the half-pile of account books that had been burned to ashes.
His facial muscles twitched twice, and Huang Shixun said viciously: "Remake the burned account book, it should be our old Huang family's fields, shops, and houses, and no one wants to take it away!" ”
"Dad, no, Dad, no!"
Before Huang Shixun's words fell, another figure hurriedly ran in from outside the town.
The person who came here is a little similar to Huang Shixun and Huang Shouxin, but he is much younger than Huang Shixun, but he is much more mature than Huang Shouxin, this person is Huang Shixun's fourth son, Huang Shouzhi, who is the captain of the Meizhen security team.
"Dad, it's not good." Huang Shouzhi ran to Huang Shixun and reported breathlessly, "Nan Batian came down the mountain with more than 100 people and came to the town!" ”
"What, Nanbatian is here?"
"My good man, the old Huang family is in trouble now."
"Last time Nan Batian came to town, how much grain did he borrow from the old Huang family?"
"It seems that you borrowed a thousand hundreds of rice, a hundred pigs and ten cows?"
"What to borrow or not to borrow, it is clearly a robbery, Nan Batian is a bandit."
The villagers around whispered, but there was no trace of fear between the words.
The soldier whispered to Cui Jiu: "The people here don't seem to be very afraid of bandits? ”
Cui Jiu nodded and asked a villager beside him: "Fellow countryman, the bandits are coming, and you don't hide?" ”
"Hide, hide." The villagers said nonchalantly, "Nanba Tianzhuan robs big households, and never robs us bitter people, sometimes the year is not good, and Qingniuzhai will open a warehouse to release grain to help us." ”
"What, there are still such bandits in the world?" The GI was surprised, "This is new. ”
"Fresh?" The villager said, "There are fresher ones." ”
