Niu Tong is right, just after Yanhui's mother and son left Beijing, the prince was born. Long Yansi was very happy and canonized Long Xingrong as the crown prince in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. Li Ke, as the uncle of the country and the country, is quite benevolent, and has become the prince and the prince. What the ministers didn't expect was that Li Ke, who had always been at odds with Yan Chengyu, actually tried his best to protect Yan Chengyu as the crown prince, of course, it was just a false title. Everyone guessed in their hearts that this must have been discussed between Li Ke and Long Yansi, and the suppression was almost over, so it was time to win it over.

Long Yansi's suggestion to Li Ke is, of course, an edict. At the same time, he also issued a holy decree to find the child born at the same time as the crown prince. Special money was given to show the celebration of the whole world and to accumulate blessings for the crown prince.

This decree was carried out well in the capital and the state capitals around the capital. But far away from the capital, it suffered. In addition to officials at all levels, eunuchs were also sent from the palace to carry out this will. They are responsible for giving out the rewards, which is a fat difference. The eunuchs in the palace who were close to Gao Ping, Li Ke, and Sikong Fu sharpened their heads and competed to do this errand, in order to be able to get money.

The method of picking up money is simple. They found the child's house in the name of the emperor, and first touted it. Why is your child born rich and promising, why don't you go into the palace with our family to serve the prince or something. Those big families understand what is going on, and if they are stuffed with real money, they should be ruined and spared. They are scared when they come across those small households. If your child was born on the same day as the crown prince, and you have committed a great taboo, hurry up and hand over the child to us and take it into the palace as a eunuch, so as to avoid your family's sin.

Ordinary people have never seen this, they are so frightened that they are like sifting chaff, and they are even more reluctant to let their relatives become eunuchs. No way, spend the money. This time, there are many people who sell houses and land, and go bankrupt. And the people who really can't afford it. Seeing the child being taken away, it is not uncommon for a moment to wipe the neck and hang himself, hit the wall and jump into the river.

Those upright officials saw it in their eyes and hated it in their hearts, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I had to close my eyes and let these eunuchs mess around. Those who tend to be inflammatory, in order to climb the high branches, help the abuse. For a time, the people in the remote state capital were panicked. The people are all in danger. Hide the children, change the birthday, and try to avoid this disaster.

In fact, the real purpose of Long Siye's will is to find Yan Hui. Speaking of which, this Snow Wolf Guard's operation is really a heavy loss. In order to kill Yan Hui, the Snow Wolf Guard's elite losses were as high as sixty percent. Just like that, I haven't caught Zhuo Yujiao's mother and son. Sikong Fu was quite smart, and estimated that Zhuo Yujiao might have hidden Yan Hui, so he gave Long Yansi such a trick. The things on the face are done by the eunuchs. In private, the remaining elites of the Snow Wolf Guard were all scattered out and followed these eunuchs to find Yan Hui.

This time, the Snow Wolf Guard is understaffed. There was really no way, Li Ke made a suggestion to Long Yansi. Let those who were left by the Emperor before the Emperor and who took refuge in their Leng Fengwei also participate in this operation. By the way, test their faithfulness.

Niu Tong hurried to the county seat and found the head of the county yading team. After the two of them ran to the Qinglou and drank all day, they came out of the Qinglou drunk and went to do their own errands.

Ding Bantou had just walked into the county office. Niu Shan and Niu Dazhuang were sent out of the side gate of the county government by a man wearing an official uniform.

Niu Shan: "You don't have to send it to the main book, the old man will go back." Another day, I will also invite the master to drink my grandson's full moon wine. You should definitely come. ”

Yu in the main book: "It must be certain, the village is walking slowly, and it will not be sent far." ”

While the two were talking, Niu Dazhuang stuffed a cloth bag into the sleeve of the main book. Yu Zhushu shook his sleeves and laughed, turned around and went back to the county office. Niu Dazhuang and Niu Shan got on the ox cart and went out of the city to go home.

Yanhui's household registration has been implemented with the help of the master book. The day of birth was set three days ago, that is, the day Niu Dazhuang picked up Yanhui. The household registration is clearly written: Niu Dazhuang, a farmer in Woniu Village, married a wife Chunniang, and the eldest son Niu Tianci. Born on the tenth day of the first month of the winter of the third year of Suzheng.

According to the Dayan system, the ten acres of Dingkou field allocated by the government to Niu Tianci, as well as the title deeds of 20 acres of mountain land newly purchased by Niu Dazhuang, were also properly put into Niu Dazhuang's arms. Originally, when Niu Dazhuang and his family discussed yesterday, they were going to buy hundreds of acres of land at once. I am also going to buy the land of the mountain temple. As a result, as soon as Niu Dazhuang said his thoughts, Yan Hui felt that it was inappropriate.

has offended Niu Tong's family at the banquet, this villain will definitely hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Niu Dazhuang's family. In addition, after the old lady of the Wang family secretly came to tell Da Zhuang and his son about the plan of Niu Tong yesterday, Yan Hui felt that he could not buy land with great fanfare.

You must know that in Woniu Village, even the land of Cunzheng Niushan and his two sons together does not have a hundred acres. Niu Dazhuang bought a hundred acres of land at once, which was too eye-catching. The cowboy and his family can't figure out how to be jealous. Other people in the village may also have gossip, so it's better to keep a low profile at this time. Thinking of this, Yan Hui spoke out to stop Niu Dazhuang and his family, and the method was to cry. He can't speak yet, what if he doesn't cry.

Seeing his son crying, Niu Dazhuang and his family immediately panicked. At first, they thought that Yan Hui was hungry, so they hurriedly got meat porridge, but Yan Hui just didn't eat it. The two of them were confused for a while, and it wasn't until Yan Hui pointed to the money with his little finger and pointed to the family's title deed that Niu Dazhuang understood.

"Chunniang, what does my son mean to let us not buy land?" Chun Niang naturally didn't understand, and looked at Yan Hui with inquiring eyes, Yan Hui shook his head.

"Son, then you still want to buy land?" Yan Hui nodded.

"How much do you buy?" Yan Hui stretched out his chubby scissor hand and shook it.

"Twenty acres?" Yan Hui nodded and began to drink porridge.

Niu Dazhuang is stupid, why don't you buy more land at once when you have money? He really couldn't figure it out. At this time, Yan Hui pointed out the window, and his little hand stretched out four fingers. Niu Dazhuang and his family suddenly understood. It turned out that the son was telling them to guard against the cowboy.

Niu Dazhuang completely understood. As the old saying goes, wealth is not exposed, and people's hearts are unpredictable. When simple-minded people like herself and Chun Niang saw that large sum of money, they couldn't help but be moved. How much more of those who are greedy. Besides, we all know the bad intentions of the two Niu Tong, and there really shouldn't be any more extraneous branches at this time. The land can be bought slowly and little by little, and it is not obvious. Let the villagers also have an adaptation process. The most important thing is to deal with the trouble caused by the cowboy first, which is the top priority. Niu Dazhuang looked at Chun Niang, Chun Niang was focused on her son at this time, basically her son did whatever she asked.

Chunniang nodded at Niu Dazhuang and said, "Well, just listen to my son." My son is smarter than both of us. ”

Niu Dazhuang also felt that his son was indeed very smart, but his son could think of things that he couldn't think of. It seems that the son was really sent by Grandpa Mountain God, otherwise how could he be so smart. A child the age of his own son. Now I am either breastfeeding in my mother's arms, or sleeping in the bed. No one is as smart as his son. He can understand all the words of the adults, and he will give the adults ideas, which is not sent by the gods. Niu Dazhuang hated to hold his son and go out to show off, but forget it if you think about it. It makes sense for the son to keep a low profile, but it's better to hide it now, lest the villagers see his son as a monster. It seems that in the future, I will have to discuss the affairs of the family with my son.

I thought so in my heart, but Niu Dazhuang still didn't hold back. Early this morning, he and Niu Shan quietly told Niu Shan about this on the way to the county seat. Niu Shan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded incessantly.

"Da Zhuang, take good care of God, Uncle thinks that in the future, our old Niu family in Woniu Village will have to rely on God's blessing. Don't tell anyone about this again, remember? ”

Niu Dazhuang nodded again and again in agreement. The two of them didn't stay in the county town much after finishing their errands, and drove the ox cart back to Woniu Village in a hurry, discussing how to deal with the disaster caused by the cowboy while walking.

Two days later, Yu Zhushu led a team of men to Woniu Village. The one who opened the way in front was Ding Bantou, and in the middle of the team was a little eunuch with a white face and beard and triangular eyes. Although Yu Zhushu was full of reluctance, how could the little eunuch bring the holy decree, he couldn't come with it. Along the way, the master bookkeeper scolded the three generations of Ding Bantou's ancestors in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that this Ding Bantou was troublesome, he would not be willing to do this immoral errand in the main book.

The little eunuch was not small. Those eunuchs who were bigger than him were all hiding in the state capital to enjoy. How could he not be angry when he was sent into this poor ravine? The little eunuch couldn't stop squinting at Ding Bantou, thinking that if you don't serve our family well today, our family will make you regret being a man.

A team of people found Niu Shan, Niu Shan didn't say anything else, and led them to Niu Dazhuang's house. As soon as I entered the door, I only heard chickens and dogs barking, and I only saw broken wood and grass all over the yard. Niu Dazhuang stood in the yard with his sleeves caged, how stupid and stupid he looked. When Yu Zhushu saw Niu Dazhuang's bear appearance, he couldn't laugh out loud, and nodded at Niu Dazhuang secretly. The little eunuch simply stood at the door, covered his nose, looked up at the sky, and said nothing. At this time, he had the intention of killing Ding Bantou in his heart. Look at the tattered appearance of this house, what the hell can you get money?

The little eunuch said to Ding Bantou with compassion: "Ding Bantou, you can't be mistaken. Since our family was ordered to leave Beijing, we have seen more of the world. The children of this family you are talking about are so blessed to be the same as the prince? If not, you're guilty of deception. Ding Bantou, you have to think clearly. ”

Ding Bantou was so frightened that he sweated down, and he looked at Yu Zhushu for help. But he could only see the two nostrils of the main book, and the master book was looking up at the sky and didn't say anything.

Ding Bantou knew that he had offended someone. I can't pass this level today, so I can't say if I can be the head of the team, and it's hard to say whether I have a life. As soon as Ding Bantou turned around and saw the cowboy hiding in the crowd, he was angry. Ding Bantou ran over angrily, slipped the cowboy out of the crowd, and threw him in front of the little eunuch.

"Niu Tong, didn't you say that the children of this family are the same as the prince? What the hell is going on with you. ”

Don't look at Niu Tong's usual dog touching in the village, but when facing this little eunuch who is not in the stream, Niu Tong's legs and stomach are spinning, and he can't say a whole sentence after eating. At this moment, Chun Niang, who was wearing a torn cotton jacket, hugged Yanhui wrapped in a torn quilt and staggered out. As soon as the little eunuch saw the two miserable green faces of Chunniang's mother and son, he couldn't spit it out. The heart said, "How hungry must this man be to have such a countenance?"

Chunniang: "Dad, go get some leaves to boil some porridge, our mother is dying of hunger." ”

Niu Dazhuang: "In this winter, where are you going to pick leaves?" It just so happened that the village was coming, and the village and I borrowed some food. After speaking, he took Niu Shan's hand and circled around Niu Shan, wailing to borrow food. Chun Niang also circled around Niu Mountain with the child in her arms, and Yan Hui was also crying at this time, and the yard became more lively for a while.

Yu Zhushu's face was raised higher, and his hand pressed his stomach hard. If he doesn't press it, he can't hold it anymore. Niu Shan turned around and said to the master book while pushing Niu Dazhuang: "My lord, what you are looking for is this stupid family." Hey, I knew I wouldn't come, this family can eat or not work, and the poor family will only have three mouths left. I can't usually hide, but you have something to say, Lord Bookkeeper. ”

Yu Zhushu held back his laughter, coughed and said to the little eunuch: "Shangcha, this official told you that there is no baby born in this county with the prince. The child of this family is named Niu Tianci, who was born on the tenth day of the lunar month, or the household registration done by the official himself, there will be no mistake. The errand said that this child is the same as the prince, I think the mess was deceived by someone? ”

The little eunuch said viciously to Ding Bantou: "Ding Tou'er, our family is ordered to do an errand, and now this errand is done like this, it is a disgrace to the emperor." Ding Tou'er, why don't you accompany our family to the state capital? ”

When Ding Bantou heard this, he was already frightened. Even if he was still a little anxious, he raised his leg and kicked on the cowboy's buttocks, and the cowboy who was just about to speak was caught off guard, and was kicked to the ground with an oops.

Ding Bantou: "Boldly Diao Min, you dare to deceive the official and deceive the superior." You keep saying that the children of this family are the same as the prince. But this child is obviously newborn, you must have a grudge against this family, and take this opportunity to take revenge on others. This official is deceived by you, and you are used as a gunman. Hurry up and confess honestly, otherwise the official will lock you up and put you in the class room to punish you for the crime of deception. ”

Ding Bantou is planning to lose the car to protect the handsome, he and Niu Tong don't have a deep friendship, if it weren't for the reward, he wouldn't want to take care of Niu Tong. But now Ding Bantou only thinks about saving himself first, and as for Ding Bantou, who is not dead, he is unwilling to care.

Niu Tong was kicked to the ground, and he was scared too. In order to protect himself, he prepared to splash all the dirty water on Niu Dazhuang's family, and carried Niu Shan into the pit. Niu Tong, who had made up his mind, got up from the ground and was about to frame Niu Shan and Niu Da Zhuang. But just when the cowboy just stood up. With a bang, a gold ingot of more than five taels fell from the cowboy's waist to the ground. All of a sudden, the little eunuch's eyes lit up.

Niu Tong was also fascinated by such a large ingot of gold at this time, and quickly grabbed the gold and put it into his arms. The little eunuch is gone, in this cold winter, why did he come to this broken mountain village in the wind and snow? Isn't it for the money. Seeing that such a large ingot of gold could not be reached, the little eunuch was very unhappy.

Little Eunuch: "Your name is Niu Tong, right?" It seems that your family is good, and there are still rich people like you in this remote mountain village, which is not bad. In the main book, since this Niu Tianci is not the person we are looking for, it is better for us to go to Niu Tong's house to have a look, maybe his family has a child with the prince. Your Majesty is mighty, you can't miss one, isn't it, Lord Yu? ”

Yu in the main book: "What the errand said is very true, why don't we go to the cowboy's house to see, please go on the errand." ”

Niu Tong was stunned. What's going on? Isn't it to toss the Niu Da Zhuang family? Why did you go to my house, how is this good. As the saying goes, people are watching the sky, and if they don't do it, they won't die. Niu Tong only thought about harming others, where did he think that one day he would be unhappy, and he himself would be harmed by people who could harm others more than him.

The ingot of gold was stuffed into the waist of the cowboy by Yan Hui while people were not ready for consciousness, in order to lead the water to the east. People like Niu Tong must use their own way to treat their bodies. He is looking for death himself, and others don't need to pity him.

The little eunuch took a group of people to Niu Tong's house. One can imagine how angry the little eunuch must have been when he saw the miserable situation of Niu Tong's family. All in all, Niu Tong's family, even the children and adults, were taken away in chains. Although Niu Shan hated Niu Tong, the two of them did not do personnel. But children can't follow adults to suffer. Niu Shan begged the little eunuch and begged him to keep the child. But the little eunuch bit it to death and didn't let it go. Helplessly, Niu Shan had to ask for the master book, and the master book sighed and whispered to him: "Sell his house and land." Give me the money, and I'll give it to this father-in-law. Adults can't keep it, see if you can save the child. ”

After the group left, Niu Shan called everyone together to discuss. But no one in this small mountain village can come up with any money. Even if there is, everyone is not willing to buy the house and land of the cow boy's family. People are afraid that the cowboy will come back and toss again. Therefore, despite Niu Shan's painstaking persuasion, no one took this stubble. made Niu Shan sigh uncontrollably, and kept scolding Niu Tong and the two of them for not doing personnel at ordinary times, which chilled the hearts of the villagers.

In the end, Niu Dazhuang softened when he saw Niu Shan's sad appearance. Promised to buy the cowboy's house and land. Niu Tong's land is all in the corners and corners, and it is not worth a few dollars, and the broken house is even less valuable. In the end, Niu Dazhuang gave Niu Shan sixty taels of silver, and this price can buy the best land on the plain of ten acres. Niu Shan and the villagers were very moved, and they all said that Niu Dazhuang was a gentleman regardless of his previous suspicions. The villagers scraped together a hundred taels of silver. Niu Shan and Niu Dahu hurriedly took the money and went to the county seat to find Yu Zhu's book.

In the main book, he did things neatly, and changed the title deed of the cow boy to the name of Niu Dazhuang. He also led Niu Shan and his son to the pavilion to see the little eunuch. The little eunuch accepted the money, but only said, "Go back and wait." And he blasted them out.

There was really no way, Niushan father and son returned to the village and said to the villagers who came to inquire: "You can't live if you do your own evil." If you don't see it, this is the end of not doing good things with a clear conscience. From now on, if there is such a child in our old Niu family, if there is such a child, he will be directly expelled from the clan and blasted out of the village. After death, they are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave of the Niu family, and this article must be written into the family rules. ”

In ancient times, clan rules were the norms of behavior second only to the laws of the state. In a small mountain village like Woniu Village, the clan rules are even wider than those managed by Wang Fa. And the punishment of not being allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death is too severe, the villagers looked at Niu Shan with red eyes, and said that they must discipline their children and grandchildren well, and resolutely will not let them harm their neighbors like Niu Tong again.

In turn, everyone unanimously praised Niu Dazhuang's family. It is said that the two sons of Da Zhuang are benevolent and righteous, and now they have sons to inherit the family business, and the two of them will definitely enjoy a blessed life in the future. escaped the disaster, Niu Dazhuang's family was very happy, and invited the villagers to their home to have a lively time. At the wine table, under the witness of Niu Shan and the villagers, Niu Dazhuang and his wife recognized the old lady of the Wang family as their godmother. And the next day, he took the old lady to his house to make offerings. This time, the villagers praised Niu Dazhuang's family, saying that good people have good rewards, and the old lady Wang has been lonely and widowed for half her life, and she has something to rely on when she is old, which is the reward for her usual good deeds and virtues.

Those who do good will be rewarded, and those who do evil will naturally be rewarded with evil. The little eunuch finally didn't let go of Niu Tong's family. Niu Tong was put on death row, and his wife and children were secretly sold to traffickers by Ding Bantou, and later heard that they were sold to the prairie. The money obtained from the sale of people, Ding Bantou did not fall himself, but instead pasted half of the family property and gave it to the little eunuch. The little eunuch left the county seat and returned to the state capital with satisfaction.

It is said that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and this is not false at all. People gather by like, and things by groups. Will there be good people around the wicked? Naturally, there won't. If you do more evil, there will naturally be more evil people to grind you. Don't look at the wicked man's arrogance for a while, that is, the person who grinds him has not yet arrived. When the man comes, it will be the time for the wicked to be unlucky. This is what the saying goes: good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. When the time comes, good and evil will be rewarded.
