Although Liang Xiao felt that the prisoner was too serious, he did not dare to slack off. After all, his opponent was the famous gentleman of Guangling City. Don't look at him like a nobleman now, who knows how low his bottom line is. When it comes to his own life, he can't be too cautious.

In this day and age, killing people is not unusual. When someone kills, it is not the government that should be worried about - find a place to hide for a while, and wait for the amnesty of the world to come out again, so that the government will not bother to take care of the old accounts - but the victim's family. If he kills Hu Lai, there are a lot of people who will avenge Hu Lai. If he is killed by Hu Lai, and only the old lady is left, will he let the old lady and a woman avenge him?

Therefore, Liang Xiao still followed the prisoner's instructions, first went to reconnoiter the terrain, and then found a way to find out the purpose of Hu Lai.

A good man with three gangs, Liang Xiao naturally thought of his sworn friend.

Tuniu'er is being beaten again.

Tu Niu'er covered her face, the ghost cried wolf, and wept tears: "Don't fight, don't fight, it's not that I'm going to duel, I'm just passing on a word." ”

"It doesn't work to pass the word." Aunt Shi pinched the waist of the bucket with one hand and a green bamboo with the other, and greeted the cow vigorously. "Because you passed on a few words, the Hu family refused to ask for our land. If the land can't be sold, where will you get the money to buy a dowry for your sister? Your sister is eighteen years old, and if she doesn't marry out again, she will empty her family, what will she give you to marry a daughter-in-law in the future? ”

"Mother, what do you say, as if I am eating and drinking for nothing at home......" Tu Niu'er's sister Tu Hua'er rushed out of the house, pinching her waist with one hand and waving a broom with the other, and stopped in front of Aunt Shi. Mother, you have to make it clear today, or I won't follow. ”

"Well, I said flowers, so don't join in the fun. When did I blame you, didn't I blame your brother? ”

"My brother is a fool, what does he know?" The flowers are not relenting. "You obviously said this to me."

"You're a fool." Tu Niu'er was anxious, and scolded loudly: "You are stupid because no one wants it, stay at home and eat and drink for nothing, alas, you crazy woman, how can you beat people......"

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry. He originally wanted to ask Tu Niu'er for help, but now that the Tu family is making trouble because of good things, he is embarrassed to go in. Tu Niu'er's old lady said that Tu Niu'er's sister Tu Hua'er is a spicy woman, and she sprinkles it, and even Tu Niu'er has to give three points.

Most women in the Han Dynasty married relatively early, generally married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and some even went out at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Tuhuaer is eighteen this year, according to custom, this is the eldest girl, and there is a possibility of becoming a leftover girl. What she hates the most is that others say that she can't get married, which is almost her reverse scale, and it will explode at a moment. Liang Xiao goes in now, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be beaten by her.

Liang Xiao was helpless, so he had to put his hands to his mouth and learn a cuckoo call. There was a bang at the door of the Tu family, and a figure rushed out, without waiting for Liang Xiao to speak, he split his head and covered his face with two brooms, and scolded in his mouth: "Where did you come from, stupid boy, I don't look at the months, and I still learn to call cuckoos." ”

Liang Xiao saw that the big thing was not good, so he turned around and ran. Tuhua'er picked up the broom and chased after her, scolding while chasing: "Bastard thing, last time you peeked at me, I haven't looked for you yet, and I came to fool my brother again, see if I don't smoke you to death." ”

Liang Xiao was embarrassed. And what's going on? The original Liang Xiao's grade was not very high.

"Flowers, flowers......" Liang Yuan stood in the distance, raised her hand, and a brocade in her hand sparkled in the afternoon sun. When Tuhua'er saw it, her eyes suddenly straightened, and she immediately gave up Liang Xiao, changed her smiling face, and greeted her, and shouted enthusiastically: "Auntie, you call me?" ”

"This is a fraction left over from last time, and it's useless, so I'll make you a handkerchief." Liang Yuan took Tu Hua'er's hand and touched her face affectionately. "What a handsome girl, I don't know who has this blessing in the future, I can marry you back, and I will give birth to a few fat boys. Hua'er, when will you get married, tell your aunt, and your aunt will give you a belly hug and be a little happy. ”

"Auntie, you're still young." Tuhuaer twisted her waist, took the brocade, and couldn't put it down, and the fierceness on her face suddenly turned into a delicate peach blossom.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. This flower is the queen of the movie, and this expression changes too quickly.

"Look, don't run fast, if you don't run, your family will be ruined again. My sister dreamed of having a double-sided brocade, so she sent it to your house to steal it. The cow jumped in the distance and barked.

Liang Xiao suddenly realized, turned around and ran. The double-sided brocade woven by the old lady Liang Yuan is a must, and it is sold for a horse and a gold on the market, and the small piece of handkerchief for Tuhuaer is worth more than a piece of clothing, and it is not at all affordable for a girl like Tuhuaer. Hugging the belly is a belly pocket, and for Tuhuaer, a piece of double-sided brocade is a xiaxia veil, which is enough for her to stand up in front of the little sisters.

"Why did your family sell land again, and you still have to sell it to the Hu family?"

"If you don't sell the land, what will you give my sister a dowry?" Tu Niu'er said angrily: "It's eighteen, and if I don't marry out, I will have to eat even the money I paid to marry my daughter-in-law." My family's land is about to be surrounded by the Hu family's land, if I don't sell it to the Hu family, who dares to ask for it? ”

"But selling land is to drink water to quench your thirst, if you don't have land, you have no food, if you don't have food, what will you pay rent?"

As far as Liang Xiao knew, the Tian Fu of the Han Dynasty was nominally light, but in fact it was very heavy. Because when harvesting fields, no matter how much land your family actually has, it is collected according to the standard of 100 acres. One hundred and fifty acres will be harvested so much, and fifty acres will be harvested so much, and the less land there is, the heavier the burden of land endowment. Selling land is a vicious circle, as long as it starts, it basically can't be contained, until it is sold out.

The old lady Liang Yuan has always refused to settle down, and she also has this consideration in it. If you don't settle down, you don't need to give land and pay endowments, as long as you fool Lizheng well. If you settle down and become a household, you must grant land, and if you have land, you must pay the tax. Even if you don't get the field at all, this 100 acres of land is inevitable.

The benefits of light endowment in the early Han Dynasty were taken away by those powerful people who occupied a large amount of land. In fact, they didn't even want to hand over the 100 acres of land, and passed it on to the people who had no power or power. Because of this, the annexation of land in the prosperous era of Wenjing has been extremely strict, and the suppression of Haoqiang has also become a political problem that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to face after his accession to the throne.

Tu Niu'er sighed and said with a deep face: "I've thought about it, but it's really not good, I'll just go and rob a few more tombs." I heard that several new tombs were added to the west of the city. ”

Liang Xiao was a little ashamed. "Niu'er, it's me who has caused you trouble."

"Hey, what are you talking about, we're good brothers." Tu Niu'er waved his hand disapprerovingly. "Even if it weren't for you, my family's few pieces of land wouldn't be able to be saved, and sooner or later they would have to be sold out. Alas, it's not Wu Guo now, it's a good time, and our brothers haven't caught up. ”

Liang Xiao was startled and hurriedly covered Tu Niu'er's mouth. Tuniuer broke free from him and looked at him in amazement. "What are you doing, surprised?"

"Can you control your mouth?" Liang Xiao said sternly: "What is it to mention King Wu?" That's a rebellion, someone denounced it, and you cut off the head of the bull. ”

"I'm not the only one who said that." Tu Niu'er shook his head nonchalantly. "I've heard several old people say that being a citizen of this Jiangdu country is really not as good as being a common person of Wu country before. When King Wu was king, Tian Fu didn't have to be paid, and the salt was eaten casually, how good it was. ”
