Chapter 144: Reorganizing the Family

That night, the king of Tangyin County, by the way, found a letter from Liangshan from Li Wengui's mansion in the county seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Brother Wengui has supported Liangshan's great cause of money and food for many years, and his younger brother is very grateful, Liangshan has already been waiting for a vacant seat, and hopes that his brother will sell his property and gather with his brother in Liangshan as soon as possible, and jointly raise the great cause of Tianxingdao, and then Liangshan has an increase in people. The food is insufficient, I hope that my brother can raise 3,000 stone of grain and money as soon as possible, this matter is very urgent, I hope that my brother will have good news, and my brother will personally escort the boat to ........'

This letter was written with more than 100 words, and the final signature was 'Liangshan Song Jiang', just one month before Li Wengui sold grain.

Jiang Dadao was shocked and angry, and slapped the table heavily, "Bring Li Wengui to me!" ”

After a while, Li Wengui, who was wearing a heavy flail, was brought up, and Li Wengui knelt down and shouted: "The small people are wronged, wronged!" ”

"Wronged?"

Jiang Dadao waved the letter in his hand, "This is a letter from your study, you colluded with bandits, the evidence is conclusive, and you don't want to recruit this official quickly!" ”

"Xiaomin did not collude with bandits, this is a frame-up!"

Jiang Dadao sneered, "It seems that I don't cry when I don't see the coffin!" ”

He pulled out a skewer and threw it on the ground, "Give me a great punishment!" ”

........

The next morning, in the Qingfu Restaurant, Li Yanqing poured Mo Jun a full glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Is the case decided?" ”

Mo Jun nodded, "It's basically settled, last night the county magistrate interrogated all night, under the heavy punishment, Li Wengui had to confess, in order to monopolize the land of Xiaohonglin, he used Song Jiang to assassinate Zhang Junbao, his two sons also confessed that Li Wengui has always been in contact with Song Jiang, and the human and material evidence is complete, Li Wengui has been put on death row, Jiang Zhixian has sent someone to report to Tong Taiwei overnight, and the possibility of reversing the situation is basically gone." ”

Mo Jun really admired Li Yanqing's planning, which was strict and thoughtful, and did not leak, and really brought Li Wengui and the thief Song Jiang together.

In particular, Li Yanqing suggested that Jiang Dadao should report the case to Mrs. Tong as soon as possible, this trick is the most vicious, even if something is found wrong afterwards, Jiang Dadao will do everything possible to conceal it and make this case a death case.

I don't know how Li Wengui offended him and was treated so miserably.

Li Yanqing picked up the wine glass and said lightly: "In order to seek the family industry, he did not hesitate to kill his own brother, and he was innocent of death." ”

"Is the little official talking about Li Wenyou?"

"Exactly!"

Li Yanqing simply told Mo Jun about Li Wenyou's death, and Mo Jun suddenly sighed: "He actually bought the three males of the Bai family to kill his brother, his heart is so vicious, if he doesn't die, there is really no heavenly reason!" ”

Li Yanqing stood up and saluted, "No matter what, Mr. Mo's great help this time, Li Yanqing will remember it." ”

"I'm just for myself, if I ask for a small official in the future, I hope that the junior official will help."

Li Yanqing nodded, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!" ”

........

The next afternoon, Li Yanqing returned to Li Wen Village with Magpie and Sister-in-law Ju, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve in two days.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw that the roadside was full of Li Wen Village and Qianshan Village Li Clansmen, and everyone rushed up together, excitedly thanking Li Yanqing, and talking nonsense.

At this time, Li Zhen explained with a smile: "This morning, a scribe came to the county office, saying that the county has ruled that the thousands of acres of fertile land in Xiaohonglin belong to the people of Li Wen Village and Qianshan Village, let us draft a plan, and everyone unanimously agreed to hang the land in the name of the small official." ”

Li Yanqing waved his hand and said, "This is not a place for discussion, go to my house to discuss!" ”

Everyone flocked to Li Yanqing to the house, and soon the yard was full, because it involved the distribution of benefits, and many housewives also came.

Li Yanqing said to everyone: "Let me first tell you about Li Wengui's case, Li Wengui's case has basically been decided, he is involved in three crimes, the first is planning to attack the clansmen, resulting in the unfortunate death of Huzi, he will be convicted as a co-main offender; the second was unevenly divided, hired a murderer, and he had confessed that Zhang Junbao's death was killed by someone he hired; The third conviction is for sponsoring bandits for many years, and Li Wengui has now been convicted of a capital crime by the magistrate and is now on death row, and his two sons will be sentenced to exile and confiscation of family property......."

There was a whisper in the courtyard, Li Wengui lost his life for greedy family property, but few people sympathized with him, if it wasn't for Li Yanqing to invite the magistrate, I am afraid that thousands of acres of family land over there in Xiaohonglin were sold and swallowed by Li Wengui.

At this time, Li Yanqing said loudly: "Regarding the land over there in Xiaohonglin, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have thought of three treatment plans, I hope you will consider it." ”

"Brother Qing'er, say it quickly!" The crowd urged him.

"The first plan, continue to maintain the status quo, the land of Xiaohonglin as family property, the income is owned by everyone, the second plan, the land is divided equally according to the capitation, we have a total of 28 households, about each family can get more than 30 acres of land; In the third plan, we sell the land at the market price, and the proceeds go to the south to buy another estate, leaving us a way back in the future. ”

At this time, Li Hong asked puzzledly: "Brother Qing'er, why did you go to the south to buy land?" ”

This is also everyone's question, and everyone asks, "Yes!" Why go to the South to buy land? ”

"You may not know yet, but I have already got the exact news, now the Khitan barbarians are fighting with the Jurchen barbarians, the Jurchen barbarians are a fierce army that has just risen, ten times more fierce than the Khitan barbarians, they have beaten the Khitan barbarians to the ground, and in a few years they will destroy the Liao State, and then they will inevitably go south, and Xiangzhou will inevitably be trampled on with iron hooves."

"Brother Qing'er, when will this happen?" Li Zhen's Hun family asked.

"I think it's going to happen within 10 years."

There was a discussion in the courtyard again, and Li Yanqing said loudly: "Let's go back and discuss the three plans first, come here tomorrow morning to vote, and we will implement the plan with the most votes!" ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I estimate that women want to split up their families, and men want to keep their family property, but there should not be many people who want to go to the south to leave a way back, and it is difficult for ordinary people to leave their homeland." ”

"It's okay, everyone just votes."

In fact, Li Yanqing also knows that most of the people in the clan have only been to Tangyin County at the farthest, and it is still too far for them to go to the south, not to mention that ten years later, he is just leaving a foreshadowing for everyone today, and when they have to migrate one day in the future, everyone will remember what he said today.

At this time, Li Zhen said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Lushanfang elected a new patriarch, and they unanimously recommended Li Sai as the new patriarch, and we only found out last night's afternoon. ”

Li Sai is the proprietor of Lushan Tavern and one of the big clans of Lushanfang, but this is not important, the important thing is that Lushanfang elected the patriarch himself, and did not notify Li Wencun, which shows that the Li family is completely divided, but this is also an inevitable trend, everyone has their own interests, and they will go further and further.

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then it's time for us to elect our own patriarch." ”

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why do you think everyone unanimously agreed to put the clan field under your name, because you are Xie Yuan, you don't have to pay more taxes under your name, everyone has this account in their hearts!" ”

Li Yanqing couldn't say a word for a long time, what a lovely clansman!

........

Early the next morning, the Li clan members of Li Wen Village and Qianshan Village officially voted, and 24 votes were in favor of the 1,000 mu of fertile land in Xiaohonglin continuing to be the clan land, three votes were in favor of dividing it into households, and one vote was in favor of going to the south to change land.

Subsequently, everyone got together to elect a new patriarch, the former Li family has been officially divided into three parts, Songhe Fang split out after Li Wenyou's death, elected his own patriarch, built his own ancestral hall, known as the Songhe Li family.

The clansmen of Wencunfang and Qianshanfang were merged into the southern Li clan, and Lushanfang was renamed Lushan Li clan, according to the property division agreement of the three families, in addition to the ten hectares of fertile land in Xiaohonglin, the southern Li clan also received the Li Ji grocery store in Tangyin County and 3,000 guan money.

In the excitement and laughter, Li Yanqing won the unanimous vote, and the clansmen unanimously elected him as the new patriarch, but Li Yanqing still declined, he wanted to study in the capital, and he couldn't take care of family affairs, he recommended Li Zhen to everyone as the new patriarch, and was approved by everyone.

At the same time, Li Dayin and Li Hong were elected as elders, and the three of them were responsible for preparing for the first clan sacrifice two days later.

Li Daqi is preparing to build a business bank in the capital, and this year's Spring Festival will not come back, and the home is slightly deserted, but Sister-in-law Ju and Uncle Zhong still made more than a dozen dishes, Li Dayin sent another altar of good wine, and in the constant sound of firecrackers, the five masters and servants still spent a lively Chinese New Year's Eve.

At the fifth watch, Li Yanqing got up quietly, there were too many things during this time, and it was not normal for him to run, although he felt that stopping running did not have a big impact, but the habit he had developed over the years was difficult to give up for a while, and he still got up at the fifth watch as always.

He cleaned up a little, walked into the courtyard and took a deep breath of cold air, he touched the sleeping big black again, and then opened the courtyard door and ran into the dark night......

An hour later, Li Yanqing ran back steamingly, and when he ran to the entrance of the village, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, "Is it Li Er?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

The person on the other side stopped, sure enough, it was Li Er, they hadn't seen each other for almost a year, Li Er had grown taller, thin and thin, looking like a sorghum tree, in front of Li Yanqing, he looked a little cramped, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "My father asked me to wait for you at the entrance of the village, the clan sacrifice is about to start, and my father will let you go directly." ”

The clan sacrifice is arranged in an empty house in the northwest corner of the village, this is also a clansman's house, after the death of the owner last year, there is no wife and children to inherit the property, the house is abandoned, a month ago Li Zhen took a few descendants to repair the house slightly, here became the temporary ancestral hall of Li Wen Village, and after the New Year, the house will be demolished and rebuilt.

"Li Er, how is Anyang Academy?" As he walked, Li Yanqing asked.

"The accommodation is very good, there are about 300 people, I told them that when Li Jieyuan this year was a clansman who grew up studying with me, everyone was very envious of me, everyone asked me to ask you, what is the secret of being admitted to Xie Yuan?"

After the initial embarrassment, Li Er quickly regained his lively and cheerful personality, and asked Li Yanqing if he had any secrets.

Li Yanqing put his arm on his shoulder and smiled: "Actually, the secret is very simple, that is, tear up the book and eat it in rice, and then you will remember it." ”

"Really?" Li Er asked in surprise and joy.

"Of course it's fake!"

Li Yanqing laughed, Li Er scratched his head, and laughed embarrassedly.

.......

'Boom! When the bell rang, Li Yanqing stood in the first row, kneeling down with dozens of clansmen to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors and ancestors of Li Wen Village and Qianshan Village.

A heavy snow is boiling and falling, and the seventh year of Zhenghe has finally come.
