Chapter 17: Erniu is in prison
The inner city of Fang County!
There is a large house with an extremely large area near the wall of the Malan River, and a black plaque is hung at the door of the house, on which are written two large gilded characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: Chen Mansion!
Although it was built on the same side of the Malan River, the mansion that Liu Yuanshan bought was much different from the Chen family's mansion, not only the area of the courtyard was different, but also the buildings and gardens inside, including the number of people who lived in it, were very different.

The most important thing is that Liu Yuanshan's courtyard is outside the city, while Chen's mansion is in the inner city.
On a small wooden building in the east courtyard of Chen's mansion, Chen Chenglu is taking his five or six-year-old child Xiaohu to learn to read and write.
Although he was born as a soap official, his family's wealth was not even inferior to that of those who were officials in the court, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, where the literati ruled the world, the status of the scribe was extremely low, not only was he spurned by the scholars and did not want to be with him, but even his children and grandchildren were restricted from participating in the imperial examination.
But even so, Chen Chenglu still hopes that his son can get ahead and be able to read and write.
Anyway, what the family has is silver, and when the time comes, it is the same to make some money to foster his son to a relative's house, as long as he can participate in the imperial examination, as long as he can gain fame, the lintel of the old Chen family will be high.
"Dad, I don't want to read, I will be a scribe in the future!" When Xiaohu saw the book, his head was big.
"Confused!" Chen Chenglu's temper was very good in the face of his only son, not only did he not lose his temper and reprimand, but also enlightened: "If you want to be a scholar, do you know that Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is a scholar?" ā
"Being a scribe earns money!" Xiaohu was not happy.
"Study hard, I'll give you the food of Erniu Restaurant every day!" Chen Chenglu smiled and seduced.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of anxious footsteps going upstairs in the stairs, and then, the crying voice of the concubine Hu also followed.
"It's my mother!" Little Tiger has the most intelligent ears.
Chen Chenglu frowned, thinking that it was a few concubines who were jealous together.
"Master......" After Hu Shi saw Chen Chenglu, he threw himself into his arms with tears on his face, and cried: "Master, you, you want to avenge me!" ā
"Don't cry!" Chen Chenglu pulled the Hu family up, but still gave a certain amount of respect, after all, although the Hu family is a little old now, she is the mother of her only son.
"What's wrong?"
"My brother!" Hu Shi sobbed, stopped crying, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, it's my brother, someone beat my brother!" ā
"Huh?" Chen Chenglu furrowed his eyebrows and said, "It's impossible, who dares to provoke him?" ā
"Who else? It's the Erniu Restaurant, they beat my brother, master, you don't know, my brother couldn't get up after being beaten by them, he was lying down and went into the house to ask for help. ā
"Just let him find someone to call back, this kind of trivial matter also bothers me, Hu Sanlai has been getting more and more useless recently!" Chen Chenglu knew very well that his brother-in-law must have gone to collect protection money when he saw that the business of the Erniu Restaurant was good, and the two sides had a conflict on this.
"No, sir, sir, go down and take a look, my brother's leg is broken!" Hu said while crying.
When Chen Chenglu heard this, he stood up suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
I thought it was a conflict between the restaurant and my brother-in-law, but now it seems that the matter should be much more serious.
He couldn't take care of his son and concubine, so he hurried downstairs to his living room, and sure enough, he saw Hu Sanlai lying on a simple stretcher, his face was pale and trembling.
"Sister...... Ah, brother-in-law......"
Hu Sanlai groaned weakly.
Chen Chenglu hurriedly walked over and said, "What's the matter?" ā
"Lift!"
Suddenly, someone took away the white cloth covering Hu Sanlai's legs, the flesh and blood on his knees were blurred, and the whole joint was swollen like steamed buns, which looked extremely miserable.
"Who did it?" Chen Chenglu took a deep breath and his eyes fell on Hu Sanlai.
"Two, two cow restaurants, of, little beasts!" Hu Sanlai gritted his teeth with hatred, trembling in pain.
"That little brute surnamed Liu?"
Chen Chenglu asked again.
"Yes, that's him!"
Chen Chenglu asked some details and experiences at the moment, and his brows became more and more wrinkled!
If it was an ordinary ordinary person, it would be easy for him to solve it, but Liu Yuanshan had a regiment of 300 people under his hands, and he knew about the current group training.
It is not easy for such people to threaten, intimidate, or beat them with dirty methods in private.
It can only be solved with the power of the prefecture!
"Brother-in-law, you must, get justice for me!"
Hu Sanlai's leg pain was unbearable.
"Don't worry, I'll solve this matter!" Chen Chenglu flicked his sleeves, "Send Hu Sanye to the best Langzhong in Fang County for treatment." ā
After Chen Chenglu gave the order, he went straight out of the door.
No matter what the reason, whether it is right or wrong, he dares to knock his brother-in-law's kneecap on this acre of three-point land in Fang County, this kind of thing must be solved, and he must solve it strongly.
Otherwise, when the surname Liu is knocked, it will not be Hu Sanlai's kneecap, but his Chen Chenglu's skull!
ā¦ā¦
The matter of smashing the restaurant was over, Liu Yuanshan didn't dare to relax, and when the restaurant closed at night, he called everyone to the riverside house.
Although Hu Sanlai was beaten up today, this matter does not mean that it is over.
Hu Sanlai has been rampant and domineering in Fang County for many years, and he is not without an umbrella, and it is impossible for him to have only about 20 people under him. Liu Yuanshan wanted to prevent them from shooting black guns behind their backs.
His subordinates are fine, but there are more than a dozen new children in the house, and it will be troublesome if Hu Sanlai attacks those children, so he summoned all the people back to the house, and only Erniu and his son are left in the hotel.
Originally, Liu Yuanshan also planned to get Erniu's father and son back together, but Old Man Ge was afraid of losing things and resolutely refused to come back, and Erniu couldn't rest assured that his father would stay.
Liu Yuanshan thought that the restaurant was more prosperous on the street in the inner city, so he agreed that there should be no chaos.
However, what he didn't expect was.
That night, a team leader dressed in black forcibly entered the restaurant with more than 30 yamen catchers and took Er Niu, the nominal shopkeeper, away.
Erniu's father escaped the search and was not arrested because he lived in the kitchen, so he quietly left and ran to Liu Yuanshan's house to report in one go.
Fortunately, the gate of Fangxian City is dilapidated and the curfew is not strict, otherwise it will be really difficult for Old Man Ge to go out of the city.
"This Huang Xiong actually backtracked against me!" After Liu Yuanshan heard Old Man Ge's report, his brows tightened.
Lord Huang received the money, why did he send someone to Erniu Restaurant to arrest people?
"No, it's not Lord Huang!" Old man Ge waved his hand and said: "Young master, the arrester is Zheng Bantou from the fast shift in the yamen, young master, you don't know, this Zheng Bantou has a good relationship with Master Chen, and Lord Chen is Hu Sanlai's brother-in-law." ā
"Young master, you must save Erniu, Erniu, his mother went early, and now he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law," Old man Ge said, kneeling down in front ......of Liu Yuanshan, tears in his eyes.
