Chapter 157: The Li Family's Dilemma (Part II)
Seeing Li Chengji walk out of the court behind Li Chenggang, Yang Chen's heart was full of unwillingness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This was an excellent opportunity to hit the Li family, but I didn't want to have such twists and turns, so I could only watch them go away proudly.
Yang Zhen also saw his brother's unwillingness, so he explained in a low voice: "Big brother doesn't have to be discouraged, at least we have made a good start." After this incident, the people in the county will know that the original Li family can't cover the sky with one hand, as long as everyone has this idea, there is still a chance. ”
Yang Chen changed his color slightly: "What Erlang said is that the Li family has been rooted in the county for a hundred years, and we really shouldn't be in a hurry if we want to deal with them." But then, he frowned again: "But this time the matter is too strange, how can Huiniang and other suspects be willing to bear all the charges?" They're changing too quickly, aren't they? ”
"Just now, when you were talking to Li Chenggang, eldest brother, I saw a figure very similar to Master Jiang's back passing by, I think he should have done something to make those people bear the blame." Yang Zhen gave his own judgment. In the middle of the night, he was the only one who could recognize the identities of the people passing by outside the hall from the brightly lit public hall.
Yang Chen still trusts his brother's eyesight, and this is also the statement that can best explain the reason for the matter, which makes him can't help but feel angry in his heart: "It's him again!" It seems that leaving him in the county government is a disaster after all. ”
Yang Zhen heard the thoughts in his brother's heart, so he persuaded: "Big brother, in fact, he can do this because of the Li family's deterrent power in everyone's hearts. So what we should do is still want to attack the Li family, if we don't succeed once, we will always succeed one day. At that time, Jiang Chong will naturally no longer be a problem. ”
"Yes, since we can take Li Chengji to the county government today, he can bring Li Chenggang one day, and at that time, see who can save him!" Encouraged by his brother, Yang Chen's confidence finally recovered a little.
At the same time, the Li family brothers could not work together like the Yang family brothers.
After Li Chengji stepped out of the gate of the county government, he couldn't help but turn around and spit at the county government fiercely: "What broke the official mansion and broke the king's law, didn't it just let Lao Tzu come out without injury and pain?" After walking for a while, he smiled at his brother: "Big brother, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise I would have to endure all night in this place......"
Before he could finish his words, Li Chenggang's right hand waved over heavily, and shook Li Chengji's big ear scraper with a snap. This blow was extremely heavy, and five red fingerprints suddenly appeared on Li Chengji's face, and he was obviously blinded by this blow, only looking at his brother in a daze, speechless for a long time.
When Li Chengji came back to his senses, he covered his numb and aching cheeks and couldn't help but shout: "Big brother, what are you doing beating me?" Brother was arrested in the county government this time because of the way of people, but he didn't do anything wrong! ”
"Hmph, it's light to hit you!" Li Chengji's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, pointed at his brother's nose and scolded: "How many times have I reminded you before, don't do that thing, can our soft red mansion only rely on some kind of Qingqi people to attract guests?" Even if you do, you should find a secret place so that you don't get involved in yourself. It's good that you actually took my words as a deaf ear, and left so many witnesses and physical evidence in the building, do you really dare to do anything to the government with us? Don't say that the current Yang County Order is not easy to deal with, it is the previous ones, don't look at them being eaten to death by us, but as long as we show a little flaw, they can still make our Li family unable to eat and walk around! ”
Li Chengji was full of grievances and anger at the beginning because his brother beat him, but now when he heard him say this, he suddenly panicked. After all, my brother did persuade himself several times before, but he ignored him. But he was a little unimpressed by Li Chenggang's last words: "Big brother, are you too serious?" If those county commanders really had the ability and courage to do this, they wouldn't be ......."
"That's because we didn't show the same flaws as we do today, or else, huh! The county order that destroyed the door, the order that broke the family, this is not a joke. Li Chenggang said, showing a worried look again: "Don't look at today, you can calmly get away with it, but today's incident is immeasurable to our Li family." This time, the county government made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to be difficult with our Li family, and this time they showed their means. I'm afraid that in the future, our life will not be easy. ”
"Ah......" Li Chengji didn't expect things to have such an adverse impact, and he suddenly panicked even more, and even the anger that he had just received was left behind by him: "Big brother, what you said is true?" ”
"Of course. Just watch, in a few days, when today's events spread in the county, trouble will continue to come to the door. Don't open the door of your soft red mansion for a while, I'm afraid there will be more things there. After Li Chenggang said this, his steps walked faster, as if he wanted to escape the next trouble.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. In fact, it didn't take a few days, and by the next morning, the soft red building of the Li family was raided by the county government, and the rumors that the third master of the Li family was taken to the county government for questioning had spread all over the county.
For a while, there were people in the streets and alleys whispering their opinions on the matter.
“…… I heard that it was the case of forcing good people to become prostitutes in the soft red building, so the county government sent someone to raid it. ”
"Cough, no one in our county knows about this matter, how many years has it been passed on, it's not that no one has asked about it before, and the government doesn't dare to investigate. If you want me to see, this is clearly our Yang County Order to deal with the Li family. ”
"Does he really have what it takes? He has only been in our Zhuji County for a few days, can he fight the Li family? ”
"What's this? Behind him is the entire imperial court, is he really afraid of the Li family? I also heard that yesterday in front of the soft red mansion all started, but the result of the most majestic Yu Lao Wu and a few of them in the past were all beaten down by the people in the county government, doesn't this explain the problem? ”
"So, that's exactly what happened. It's just that Li Sanye finally came out of the yamen in embarrassment, what can you say? ”
"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that the Li family is not thin yet, and the county government has to save some face. However, it is obvious that the county government is going to take the Li family seriously this time. ”
"If that's the case, it's a blessing for the people of Zhuji County. I don't know when the county government will come out like this again, and I feel relieved when I look at it. ”
"That requires someone to sue the Li family for lawlessness. I wonder if your brother has the guts? ”
"I don't have ......"
This incident made the long-dormant county seat of Zhuji alive again. Although most people don't have the courage to go to the county government to report the Li family's lawlessness, just as Li Chenggang worries, a crack has appeared in the "invincible" image they have always maintained.
The reason why the Li family can run rampant in the township makes people dare not provoke them, because even if they commit a crime, the government will not treat them with confidence. When some people who were bullied went to the yamen to complain, most of the results were unsuccessful, and the rest became the defendants.
But what happened in the soft red mansion yesterday announced that the current county government is no longer the protective umbrella to maintain the Li family, but will be the enemy of it, once this signal is played, it is bound to make some people who were deeply oppressed by the Li family have the intention of resisting. Since even the third master of Li will be arrested and sent to the county government if he commits a crime, how can those slaves of the Li family sit idly by and ignore the county government?
Once this idea arises, it is already a great threat to the power of the Li family. And when this idea turned into a real move, the trouble of the Li family followed.
On November 13, the soft red building was confiscated by the county government, and several people in charge of the building were convicted of forcing good people to become prostitutes and killing people's lives, just waiting for the court to make a final verdict.
On November 20, seven days after the accident in the soft red building, someone finally attacked the Li family again. A bitter master who once robbed the Li family of a lot of business because of opening a restaurant, but was beaten by the evil slave of the Li family, and the bitter owner who had worked hard to run the restaurant to a pulp, and even broke one of his legs, sued the county government about the matter.
Yang Chen was not ambiguous, and sent someone to Li's house to ask for the guilt at that time. Although two years have passed, there are still many eyewitnesses to this matter, and the Li family could not give a convincing excuse for a while, and finally the evil slaves who hurt people and smashed the store had to shoulder all the responsibility and were thrown into the county jail.
With this example, the people of the county have fewer worries. On November 25, a landlord who had a land dispute with the Li family and had suffered losses before sued the county government. The county government quickly ascertained everything, judged that the Li family had taken it by skill, and explicitly ordered the Li family to return all the more than 10 acres of land seized to the plaintiff.
On November 29, even the tenants of the Li family, who were far away from the county seat, sued the county government. The Li family was sued for raising the land rent this year, which caused a shortage of food in the tenants' homes, and they could hardly even survive this year.
The county government sent people to investigate again, and after being convinced that what was told was true, they sent Wen Li's family and told them to return the overcharged land rent to the tenants as soon as possible, otherwise they would be investigated.
This time, everyone knew that the Li family had completely lost the protection of the county government, and instead became the enemy targeted by the county government. So after stepping into the wax moon, all kinds of complaints against the Li family did not stop.
What makes people feel a little puzzled is that under such a target, the Li family, a strong place that was rampant in the past and did not even put the county government in their eyes, did not fight back this time, but kept retreating, no matter what the result of the county government was decided, they accepted it silently.
Their performance, of course, greatly encouraged the people of the county, almost everyone wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the Li family, but in Yang Zhen's opinion, there was an unspeakable threat that was slowly approaching.
