Chapter 187: Something Happened
Aunt Li's family property was taken away.
It was the events of the past two days, the people in the village had already heard about it, but Chen Ping only heard about it after returning home.
"In the county, because Aunt Li is a household, she has to collect more feathers, and Aunt Li can't pay it, so she collects her family's restaurant." Liu hugged the little lady, stood far away at the entrance of the hall, and looked at his eldest son Chen Ping tethered the horse, "The land at home is narrow, and the horse is placed in this courtyard, and the little lady is young, and negligence is dangerous." ”
The horse was castrated, tied to the side of the uneven bars, Chen Ping pulled the reins, pulled a few rice stalks and threw them over, and sent the people from the horse shop out of the courtyard.
"Mother and look at Zhen'er first, and then endure it for a few days, and when the restaurant is completed, let Zhao Gong and others come over and make a two-entry house, and the front and back yards will be wider." The mansion, which was not very spacious, was stuffed with eight livestock, and it was immediately crowded, Chen Ping said with relief, "I have already asked Brother Yuanliang to find a house in the county, and my grandmother will move to the county together in the future." ”
Chen Ping, the mansion in the county, greeted Chen Yuanliang, it is best to be quiet, it is most suitable to lean on the winding alley in the southeast of the city, and it doesn't matter if there is more money.
"With money, you are spending money indiscriminately, buying so many horses and so many donkeys, how can you use it at home, if you buy a cow, you can still use the land." Liu blamed, the little lady in her arms kept squeezing out, and saw Chen Ping coming over, "The little lady is naughty, you have to watch it tightly." ”
hugged Xiao Niang, rubbed her head, Chen Zhen giggled, grabbed Chen Ping's bun with one hand, and pointed to the horse with the other: "Ride, sit, Xiao Niang wants to ride a horse." ”
"Little lady, will you wait for the second brother to come back and ride together?" Chen Ping coaxed, and then hugged him out of the courtyard.
Chen Zhen had more strength in her hand, pulled Chen Ping's bun, patted Chen Ping's face, and didn't follow.
grinning, Chen Ping turned his face sideways and hugged Chen Zhen tightly: "Let's go find Sister Xiaoya, and then ride a horse together, okay?" ”
All the way was coaxed and deceived, and when they arrived at Chen Ya's house, the two teased again, and Chen Zhen wiped her tears and forgot the horse in the courtyard.
"It's self-inflicted." The next few days may not be too peaceful, Chen Ping felt that he still had to grab two masons from Zhao Gui first, set up a stable in the woodland of his own mountain in Liuhe Mountain, and then build a fence, and the right to settle these livestock first.
This night, Baitu Village was not peaceful.
In Aunt Li's house in the village, there were quarrels and scolding at night, accompanied by the crying of the woman, and occasionally the sound of a few clay pots being broken.
"Harsh taxes are fiercer than tigers." With a sigh, Chen Ping covered the quilt and cut off some sounds.
In fact, Chen Ping knew in his heart that with the assets of Aunt Li's family, he would never go bankrupt because of the payment of feathers and fall to the point of quarreling and scolding. This is someone in the county who wants to seize people's assets, and it is just taking advantage of this opportunity to attack at the same time.
has no power and no power, and the person who relies on it has become a man-eating tiger, and Aunt Li's family can only be a mermaid.
In the final analysis, it was the cause that was planted before, and Aunt Li's family was connected with that Xu Youmao. When Xin Zide came to the village to make up for the field, Aunt Li's words were out of proportion, which made Xin Zide annoyed, and Xu Youmao was implicated with him.
Now taking advantage of the opportunity to collect feathers, Xu Youmao wants to completely seize the assets of Aunt Li's family. Originally, he may have had such thoughts, but now that he looked at the gap, Xu Youmao pounced like a jackal.
With tigers, leopards and jackals as companions, after all, you have to bear the risk of this backlash.
After dawn, Chen Ping rode a donkey to the county, asked a few people from Zhao Gui to come over, and went to Zhu Xie's place on the way, and found that the people were not there, so he also turned back.
There was no shortage of money now, so Chen Ping found some more people, and together they built a stable in his own woodland in Liuhe Mountain, and next to it were chicken and duck coops, as well as livestock sheds.
Chen Ping hired two people from the village, and a couple lived in it, and there was nothing to do on weekdays, that is, they were responsible for taking care of the livestock.
One by one plans were being implemented, and on this day, Chen Ping came down from the mountains and heard someone shouting in the village.
"Murdered."
"The officials killed someone, and there was an accident in Aunt Li's house."
Ding Zhuang, a village woman who was busy working in the fields, listened, put down the hoe tool, and walked to the village inquiringly.
Officials kill people, this is a big deal.
Chen Ping's heart sank, and he was busy and quickened his pace, running towards the village. After entering the village, I went straight to Aunt Li's house, and I heard a sad cry from a distance.
There was already a group of villagers in front of Aunt Li's house, the courtyard door was wide open, and there were a few white straights standing inside, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and Xu Youmao was standing aside with his head covered.
The ground was littered with broken clay pots and other objects, and in front of the hall, Chen Dezhi and Aunt Li, two old couples, threw themselves on one person, who was lying on his side on the ground, with sticky blood flowing from the back of his head.
Next to Chen Dezhi and his wife, Chen Shanbao and Chen Shangou were carrying a hoe and a sickle, glaring at Xu Youmao and the others with hatred.
"My son, why are you so stupid, if they want to take away my wealth, let them take it. If you fight with them, where can you fight? Aunt Li howled and cried, turned around and pointed at Xu Youmao and a few people and scolded, "You guys are really not things, you took the money from my family, and now you are here to ask for it, the restaurant has been taken away by you, and now you are beating my son to death, you ...... You are worse than you thieves. ”
Xu Youmao rubbed his head, and only then did Chen Shanhu smash it with half of the green brick, breaking the skin and bleeding a little: "Who wants to take away your family's assets?" That's because you concealed the household, and now the imperial court collects miscellaneous taxes, and it has to make up for the taxes owed in the past. I advise you so much, I told you the day before yesterday that you don't want to come today, but you don't have to prepare money. Dare to sneak attack the official, do you want to rebel? ”
Aunt Li did things in the household, and in the past, it was also through Xu Youmao, but now she asked her to take it out and talk about it. Chen Dezhi's family's restaurant in the county has already arrived, and the deed has also fallen into the hands of Xu Youmao, who doesn't want Xu Youmao to still be dissatisfied, thinking about greedy for Aunt Li's land.
Not only the fields, just yesterday, Chen Shanhu's fishing boat parked in the water was also towed away by Xu Youmao. This is what happened today when Chen Shanhu attacked Xu Youmao with green bricks, but the person was beaten and his life was lost.
"It's really pitiful, these people beat Chen Shanhu to death, the stick is to the head, the hardwood is three fingers wide, and the human head is not beaten with iron, how can it withstand it." Outside the courtyard, the people of a village next to Chen Ping had already heard the sound, and they happened to see Xu Youmao hurting people, and his face was sad, "The imperial court collects taxes, where can our small people resist."
