"Call someone? Master, what are you calling someone for? Looking at Yue Yang with a gloomy face, Shun Bao scratched his head suspiciously, it stands to reason that this matter is not to report to the old lady, and then send someone to the yamen to report to the prefect to beat people and wait for the mediation of the yamen?
"What are you doing, of course you're preparing for a fight, can't you invite someone to dinner!" Yue Yang glared at Shunbao.
"What? Fight ......"
This time, not only Shunbao, but even the Linglong sisters were stunned. The three pairs of eyes looked at Yue Yang in unison, before that, it was estimated that they had never expected that the young master of the Yue family, who had always been known for his deference and gentleness, would actually say the word "fight" without changing his face. Is this still the well-known young master of the Yue family who is obedient and gentle and friendly in the entire Wuli Village?
Seeing the three of them looking at him in a daze, Yue Yang touched his nose and asked a little strangely, "What are you looking at me for?" Don't you hear me? Shunbao, hurry up and call someone, Linglong hurry up and help me change clothes, hurry up! ”
"Uh......" Looking at Yue Yang's calm but firm expression, Shun Bao finally knew that his young master was not joking, he swallowed his saliva and immediately pulled his legs and ran, he still had to tell the old lady about this matter first.
After Shunbao left, the Linglong sisters also followed Yue Yang into the house in a panic and began to wash and change clothes for Yue Yang. One of them brought towels and face wash, and the other helped Yue Yang bring clothes. It's just that they all seem to be a little absent-minded, and Yulong even peeks at Yue Yang from time to time, as if she is looking at something rare.
"Yulong, what are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and bring your clothes." Seeing Yulong's beautiful big eyes looking at him stunned, there was an inexplicable blush on her delicate and cute little face, which looked extremely attractive, and her little lips were red and made people can't help but want to kiss it. Yue Yang forcibly held back the ** in his heart, reached out and gently pulled the double pigtails on Yulong's little head.
"Hmm, young master, you are so annoying! My sister has been helping me with my head for a long time. Yulong gave Yue Yang a roll of her eyes dissatisfied, and with her lovely expression and snow-white skin, she looked extremely cute. Since the Linglong sisters were transferred to Yue Yang by the old lady, she served Yueyang for more than ten days, and now Yueyang is really a gentle person as people say, he never beats and scolds his subordinates, especially for the Linglong sisters, he is very easy-going, even if they do something wrong, he rarely scolds people, at most he uses his hands to ** their heads, so Yulong gradually became casual in front of Yue Yang.
Yue Yang finished washing and put on his clothes, and as soon as he walked out of the door of the courtyard, he saw that the old lady was hurrying towards his yard with the support of two maids and Shun Bao and others. Glaring at Shunbao, Yue Yang hurriedly greeted her, for this old man who really cared about him, Yue Yang respected her from the bottom of his heart.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
The old lady stopped, and because she was walking too quickly, she asked while gasping, "Grandson, grandma heard Shunbao say that you want to take someone to the river to confront the people of the Wang family?" ”
"Yes, grandma!" Yue Yang nodded: "The people of the Wang family are too deceitful, the Sanggan River is the lifeblood of our Wuli Village, if we watch the Wang family lead water into the canal, the harvest of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in our Wuli Village will be affected." And don't forget, the Li family and the Lin family are staring at us from the sidelines, if we retreat from this step, Sun Er dares to guarantee that the two of them will immediately pounce and ask for water to be diverted into the canal in the Sanggan River, what should we do then? To say yes or not to agree? If you agree, don't talk about our Yuejiazhuang, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Wuli Village will be harvested, and how many people will starve to death at that time. ”
Seeing Yue Yang say such a tirade endlessly, not only the old lady, but also Shunbao, the Linglong sisters, and the servants and maids around him all looked at him with strange eyes. Is this still the sour Xiucai who only knew how to hold books and endorse books in the past? Is this still the young master of the Yue family who believes in a gentleman and doesn't do anything?
After a long time, the old lady let out a long breath, looked at Yue Yang's eyes with a hint of relief and nodded: "Originally, grandma was worried that your temperament was too weak, and if grandma was not there in the future, you would suffer a big loss, but now grandma has finally grown up and her grandchildren have grown up, and grandma is relieved!" Grandson, you're right, since your father died, the attitude of those three families towards us has been getting worse and worse. In the past few months, it has been even more excessive, and he even offered to buy our Yuejiazhuang's land. These lands have been accumulated by the ancestors of the Yue family for hundreds of years, and if they are sold to others, the old body will not be able to see the ancestors of the Yue family even under the nine springs. Speaking of this, the old lady's angry expression was overflowing, and even her body was trembling slightly.
Yue Yang hurriedly hugged the old lady ** and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, your old man, grandson will take people to support Master Hu and them, if the Wang family dares to come hard, we are not afraid, if you want to rob us of water, it depends on whether the villagers in Wulizhai agree or not!" As he said this, a violent aura appeared on his face......
The Sanggan River is located in the northeast of Wulizhai, and the mighty river water has not only irrigated tens of thousands of acres of fertile land on both sides of the river for thousands of years, but also divided into several tributaries, feeding hundreds of miles of surrounding fields. Today, on the east bank of the Sanggan River, a few miles away from Wulizhai, thousands of farmers and tenants from Wulizhai are confronting each other with hoes and sticks and hundreds of people from the Hunhe River downstream.
And in the center of the confrontation crowd, a young man wearing a square scarf and a white silk robe with an ordinary face but a sinister look in his eyes from time to time was facing a man in his thirties with a beard and a round waist in the middle and sneered: "Hu Laosan, I will tell you clearly, you promised us to dig this ditch today, and if you don't promise us, we will dig it!" This canal has been dug four times today! ”
"You dare!" The man known as Hu Laosan shouted loudly, as if there was a thunderclap in the sky. I saw him shouting angrily: "Second son Wang, I, Hu Laosan, respect you as the second son of the Wang family today, so I will give you three points, but if you insist on digging a ditch to divert water here, then I have to ask these villagers behind me if they agree!" ”
Wang Ergongzi's face first showed a trace of disdain, and then he shouted loudly: "Hmph, what if you don't agree?" Your Wulizhai occupies the upstream water source of the Sanggan River, so naturally you don't have to worry about running out of water to drink, but have you ever thought about how we, the villagers living downstream, live?
Last month, the water of our Hunhe River has bottomed out, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land have become moribund because of lack of water, and the fields are about to crack and the rice will die. Without the harvest, do you have to watch the villagers starve to death? Dare to ask Hu Laosan, where is your conscience? I, Wang Chenglin, am not talented, and I want to seek justice for you for the villagers today! ”
"Good!"
"What the second son said is so right, we have to live, so this channel must be dug up!"
Wang Chenglin's words mobilized the feelings of more than a dozen family members and hundreds of people behind him, and they all shouted in support of Wang Chenglin.
And Hu Laosan opposite Wang Chenglin was a little stammering, as the head of Yuejiazhuang's courtyard, if he picked up a fight, Hu Laosan had never been afraid of anyone, but if he played with others, where would he be Wang Chenglin's opponent of a scholar. Wang Chenglin was speechless with just a few words. Although he knew that something was wrong with the other party's words, he couldn't tell what was wrong, he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth, and finally only held back a sentence.
"You...... Are you talking nonsense? That...... The river water belongs to our Wuli Village, it is our Yuejiazhuang, and it must not be given to you! ”
"Haha......" Seeing Hu Laosan's stammering words, Wang Chenglin laughed proudly, and took out a folding fan from his sleeve and opened it with a "snap", fanned it twice, and then put it away and pointed at Hu Laosan: "Hu Laosan, Hu Laosan, although you are just a vulgar martial artist who has never read a book, and I don't expect you to understand the righteousness of the sage, but at least you should understand the good and evil, can you watch tens of thousands of acres of fertile land downstream die, and thousands of people starve to death because of lack of food?" How vicious your heart is! ”
"You...... You ......" Hu Laosan was originally not good at words, and at this time, he was even more squeezed by Wang Chenglin's words, and his face was full of purple, and he stammered and couldn't say a word when he had an empty stomach.
"Hahaha......" Wang Chenglin laughed proudly when he saw this, he raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Folks, look at it, they have nothing to say, let's quickly dig a ditch to divert water!" ”
"Folks, come on!"
With Wang Chenglin's words, more than a dozen family members and hundreds of ragged people behind him flocked forward with hoes, shovels and other tools to open the river and lead water into the canal, while Hu Laosan wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Wang Chenglin leading more than a dozen family members.
I saw Wang Chenglin and said to Hu Laosan with a smile: "Hu Laosan, I can sue you, this son is a famous talent, if you dare to touch this son, this son can show the government to arrest you for insulting Sven!" Come on, come on, come and hit me! I'll see which of you dares to touch me! ”
Looking at Wang Chenglin, who was approaching step by step, Hu Laosan really didn't dare to move him, after all, Wang Chenglin was a showman, and a show was privileged. For example, they can receive a small amount of money, exempt individuals from agricultural taxes and forced labor, and they can also take a long sword to wander around the country (called study tours). More importantly, if a civilian attacks a scholar above Xiucai, it is a serious crime, and the yamen will have to sentence him heavily.
Just when Hu Laosan was at a loss, a voice sounded next to him: "I dare to move you!" ”
