"Robbership?" Zuo Gui trembled with anger, and pointed at Ni Er: "This field was sent to our Zhong'er by your family, but now you are reversing black and white, you ......!" You ......"

"Dad, don't talk nonsense with him!" Fennel next to her stepped out and grabbed Ni Er's neck, "If you don't get out, believe it or not, I'll throw you lame out!" ”

What Ni Er was most afraid of was this spicy fennel, and shouted nervously: "You, you dare!" - What are you guys doing standing there stupidly? ”

The four servants looked at each other, they were the servants of Huimin Hall, but they were not thugs and bodyguards, and they didn't know what to do for a while. A servant boldly said, "You, let go of our second master......!" ”

Fennel snorted coldly, and was about to speak, the soldiers and croppers outside had long been unaccustomed to seeing it, hearing this, several big men had already stepped in, grabbed their collars, and a few big-eared scrapers pumped up: "You slaves, do you still want to be wild in Guizhitang?" Get lost! He threw several of his servants out of the pharmacy with a push, kick and kick.

Ni Er panicked, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, Guizhitang bullied and crippled ......!" ”

If Ni Er is good and dignified, Fennel will not be polite, but now that his legs are crippled, he feels a little helpless to use force against him at this time. But let him play here and be angry.

Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard a big man in the crowd outside shouting, "Damn it, let me come!" ”

The big man was wearing a military uniform, but he was not wearing armor, he was a head taller than others, his black face, his face was like a mess of grass, he strode over, walked to the soft couch, squatted down, supported the bottom of the soft couch with both hands, and shouted, "Get up!" One person lifted Ni Er up on the soft couch under him and walked out of the pharmacy. The crowd of onlookers laughed and dodged away.

Ni Er was so frightened that he screamed: "Hey, hey! Commander! What are you doing? I'm a cripple! Oh my! Someone! The military master bullied the crippled! …… Ouch! ”

The black-faced and bearded officer threw it hard, threw Ni Er into the middle of the street with a soft couch, fell into a rolling gourd, and lay on the bluestone street and screamed.

The black-faced man pointed at Ni Er and scolded: "Lao Tzu is the leader of the third team of the first regiment of the leopard cavalry. The person who is called 'Fan Black Face' is Lao Tzu! Now that you are relieved and returned to the field, Lao Tzu recognizes your name as Ni Er, two months ago with Lao Tzu in Guizhitang to receive porridge to live, you are a dead lame man who is not grateful to Dade, and he also came to Guizhitang to call for Tian, it is really shameless to do everything! Lao Tzu can't get used to it, this is just a small lesson for you, if you dare to be verbose again, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Fan if you don't break your two hands! ”

Ni Er cried and hissed with a sad face: "You are a military master, you should also be reasonable, my mother sent him a ......"

"I've heard all your! Aren't you going to say miles? Okay, Lao Tzu, no, the official will reason with you! - The land that your family voluntarily gave away to others, and now that the price of land has risen, you regret it and want to return it, not to mention the kindness of others to your family, just say that it is your fault to give it back. You still want to sue the yamen, okay, come on! Sue the official here! Even if you are disabled, the official will beat you fifty times! ”

When Ni Er heard him say that he was the official, he was immediately stunned: "...... you?" You are......? ”

Two people with knives were squeezed out of the crowd, and said coldly: "Ni Er, don't be wild, this is our new county lieutenant Master Fan of Shijing County!" ”

Fan Hei's face was triumphant, his stomach was shy, his hands were behind his back, and his nostrils were facing the sky: "How is it?" Can you hit your board? ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the county lieutenant of the middle county outside the capital was from the nine grades, although the rank was not high, but he held the real power, and was a full-time judicial official, whose duties were not only "arresting thieves and maintaining public order", but also "personally managing general affairs, dividing the public Cao, cutting off the pursuit, and collecting the rate of the tax". In other words, the prefectural lieutenant is responsible for the trial of civil lawsuits such as debt disputes and general criminal cases such as thieves in the local prefecture.

Ni Er wants to sue Guizhitang for the return of the donated land, which is a civil lawsuit and is under the direct jurisdiction of Fan Heimian, the county lieutenant. That's why Fan Hei told Ni Er triumphantly that he was going to the yamen to sue, so he directly ordered to beat him, the ungrateful Diao Min, first.

In ancient times, litigation was not advocated, especially civil litigation. The plaintiff and the defendant are called "two fabricators", that is, troublemakers, so there is an unwritten rule that when the plaintiff sues, some officials can look at the plaintiff uncomfortably and can beat the board before accepting the case. Fan Heimian said this, which is by no means alarmist.

Ni Er heard that this military master is now the county lieutenant in charge of civil and criminal cases in Shijing County, he said so, plus he was already at a loss, where did he dare to be wild, and hurriedly confessed, and at the same time glanced at the servants, and the servants hurriedly ran over and carried him to the soft couch, and carried the ashes away.

Father Zuo Gui was pleasantly surprised, greeted him out, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Master Fan for his ascension!" ”

Fan Hei's face laughed, and he stroked his black beard: "If you hadn't helped me and my brothers during the famine, we would have starved to death in this Hezhou city, and we could still be a fart county lieutenant." I came here a few days ago, and I have been busy with the handover, so I don't have time to visit, and I heard from my brothers that you Guizhitang is looking for someone to farm, so I brought my brothers here. I didn't expect to run into this fly buzzing here, and I was angry. ”

Zuo Gui's father hurriedly put him in the house, Fan said with a black face: "Don't sit, I see that there are a lot of people who come to rent tenant land here, and other people also rent it, but I haven't seen this scene, presumably these are people who have received the favor of your family before to repay the favor, hehe, busy with business first, I will tell you, these military households outside, some of them are my original brothers, some are not, but they are all in your house to receive porridge and survive, and a few are injured, treated in your house, and cured for Xiaolangzhong, all come to rent land." - By the way, why don't you see Xiao Langzhong? ”

Zuo Gui's father said: "A few days ago, there were few people in Hezhou, there were not many patients, there were a few tricky cases in Longzhou, and the old shopkeeper of Hengchang Pharmaceutical Company came to recommend Zhong'er to treat the disease, and he has been there for two months. The letter said that there are a lot of treatments over there, and they won't be able to come back for a while. I have already sent another letter to tell him that the fields have been divided here, and many people have migrated, but I am afraid that the pharmacy will be busy, so let him come back. ”

"That's good. Then I won't delay you busy, and my yamen also has a lot of chores, so I'll go first. These brothers are all good, although they have divided the land, but when they heard that your family is short of people to cultivate the land, they would rather have their own land wasted than come and plant your family's land. Anyway, if there is grain harvest, it is not what is planted. Besides, your tenant rent is less than others, it's very cost-effective, hehe, it's quite righteous, you look at it! - Say hello if there is anything in the future, my life was saved by your family, and this kindness will never be repaid for a lifetime! ”

"Where, Master Fan is serious, if you hadn't recommended Zhong'er's matter at the beginning, where would the general be kind to our Guizhitang, and how could he turn a blind eye to the alms and porridge in Guizhitang during the famine? How can we get so much fertile land now? ”

Fan Hei smiled proudly: "I'm just routinely reporting to it, who would have thought that the general would be like this?" In the final analysis, it is your Xiaolangzhong's ability, if it weren't for him sacrificing his life to treat the wounded and bravely killing the enemy, I would have nothing to report it. Hehe. - Okay, I won't delay you in renting the fields, there are a lot of messy things waiting for me to deal with in the yamen, I'm leaving! Another day, Xiaolangzhong is back, and I'll come again. ”

After that, Fan Hei arched his hand and left with two catchers.

Liang had already seen Sang Mu and others in front of the crowd, and that night Sang Mu had been pestering her son Zuo Shaoyang to talk about the tea shop, saying that they had worked hard to earn this family business in their early years, and they returned to the Zuo family overnight, only changing a few buckets of rice, etc., which sounded very suffocating, and the purpose was very clear, that is, they wanted to go back to the tea shop.

How can he always meet such people, Liang regrets a little, he knew this, he should have ignored them ruthlessly and let them starve to death.

But the Liang family is kind, not that ruthless person, although he is very uncomfortable with the Sang family, he still accompanies him to greet him with a smile: "The sister-in-law of the Sang family is here!" Is there something wrong? ”

Sang Mu also smirked: "Nothing else, I originally wanted to come for a follow-up visit, but seeing that you are busy, Gaga, I won't bother, my edema is almost better, just go back and take medicine, Gaga." ”

"Oh" Liang wished she had left early, and didn't even say anything politely to stay, "Then let's come back tomorrow, I'm a little busy today, and many people come to rent land." ”

"yes? By the way, I heard that your Zhong'er divided seven or eight hundred acres of land this time, which is really capable! Congratulations! ”

As soon as Liang mentioned this incident, he couldn't hide his pride, and his smile was a little more genuine: "Thank you, it was the last time that the general canonized Zhong'er as a 'model for supporting the army', and Zhong'er has military merits, so he divided so much land." ”

"There is so much land, how can you plant it?"

"Yes, yes, that's why I'm anxious, I posted a notice, I didn't think of so many kind-hearted tenants, so I don't have to worry about it now."

"If it weren't for so many people coming to rent your land, you wouldn't have been able to pay the land tax alone, and you wouldn't have to die of sorrow! This is also thanks to the merit of giving medicine porridge when your family is in famine! ”

Speaking of this, the Liang family felt even more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Yes, alas, the bitterness is over, now the imperial court has reduced taxes, and does not collect taxes according to the amount of land, just look at Ding Nan, our family only pays taxes on six acres of land a year, and the rest are our own family, this good thing is just ahead!" ”

Mulberry's mother was full of sour water, but her swollen face was not revealed: "Zhong'er, this child has a good heart and good medical skills, and now he has divided so many fields, and he is getting better day by day, our little sister will be an aunt after passing the door, and this will be better, and her father and I will be relieved." ”
