[Happy Holidays, everyone! 】

The thing is very simple, the town of Heming will repair the road this year, and a new stone bridge will be built in the east of the town. According to the custom, this matter was built by the elders of the town through joint consultation, which was nothing more than asking the qualified people in the town to contribute money and efforts.

Under the social form of the clan, the big clan controls many things, the Chu family is the largest family in Heming Town, and it is also the largest gentry in Heming Town, and of course it has the most right to speak, but when the share of the donation is notified to those donors who have "ability", Chu Huaijin is angry.

This is the grudge of two generations, Chu Yumin of the previous generation has been squeezed by the clan's liliang, which is also the direct reason why Chu Huaijin was succeeded by Chu Yumin. Now that Chu Huaijin is in this generation, Chu Yumin is alive, and the people of the Chu family still know a little bit about restraint, and when this real Chu family dies, everything has become completely worse. This is a clan society, although Chu Huaijin's surname is Chu, he is in Heming Town, but what he lacks is bloodline, in the final analysis, for the Heming Chu clan, he is still an outsider after all.

The share of the donation is high-sounding, and Chu Huai Jinshi is the richest merchant in Heming Town, so he should take out the largest share.

Things are not like that at all, Chu Yumin is considered rich, but there is obviously still a distance from the richest merchants in Heming Town. The grudge with the clan elder back then was because of money, and Chu Yumin's ability as an ordinary cloth merchant would not be very strong, and if he was not strong, he would be the target of blackmail. Chu Yumin has always chosen to resist, and he has resisted all his life. The current Chu Huaijin is an outsider with the name of the Chu family, and he should be completely crushed, this is the truth of the facts.

This was expected by Liu Erjin, he frowned and asked, "Then why don't you report to the official, second brother?" ”

"Report to the officer, is it useful! How dare you! ”

Now is such an era, according to the clan rules and village rules, everyone who lives in the local area must pay a certain amount of money and grain every year according to the rules of the clan and village rules. This is recognized by the local governor, the state. The state relies on officials to control the localities, and who do the officials rely on to control the localities?

It is the gentry, these gentry are the liliang of the clan, the huge liliang of the clan, Chu Huaijin can't resist at all.

In this era, transportation and information are inconvenient, and the clan shili is very influential in the local area, even if it is a powerful local government official, or a military general with heavy troops, the elders of the Yujian clan are generally polite and unwilling to offend easily. The liliang of the clan shili can be seen in general, Chu Huai entering to report to the official is equivalent to fighting against the entire ruling class of this era, and the officials of the official government will definitely not accept such a case, as for the consequences, you can imagine.

Liu Erjin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, the second brother Chu Huaijin did not dare to sue the official, and he couldn't go for the sake of his family, which was normal.

"Then I'll go to the clan elder with my second brother tomorrow and say some good things, maybe I can have less!"

Chu Huaijin shook his head gently: "I have been grudging for a long time, the elders of the Chu clan clearly don't want me to gain a foothold in this Heming Town, it's useless to go, brother, don't worry about it, go back to the river tomorrow!" ”

Looking at the helpless elder brother, it was obvious that he was reluctant to let the family property left by Chu Yumin lose in his own hands, although the second brother was a stepson, the relationship between father and son was obviously very deep. Liu Erjin's heart began to tear and ache, how could he not care, he must take care of it, and he must manage it vigorously.

"There are still three days to go, there is still time to go home, I will go with my second brother tomorrow, I can't delay going home, maybe there is a turnaround?"

At this time, Liu Erjin's sister-in-law Zheng came out of the house: "Uncle is rare to come back, and there is nothing to prepare, the meal is a little simple, uncle will have it!" ”

"Eat, eat, your sister-in-law has good skills, and there is a jar of old wine at home, so let's drink it today!" Hearing his wife's greeting, Chu Huaijin temporarily put aside his worries and began to greet Liu Erjin for dinner.

"Don't drink alcohol, it's strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the army." Liu Erjin decisively refused:

Chu Huaijin smiled: "This is at home, how can there be so many rules, I'll get it!" ”

"No, second brother, this habit is not good, if you want to follow the handsome man to make contributions, this wine can no longer be drunk!"

"Okay, then our family has a good meal."

Since the brothers didn't want to drink anymore, Chu Huaijin was no longer reluctant, the house was too hot, a table was moved, and the family began to sit around the courtyard.

The night passed peacefully

The next day, without waiting for Chu Huaijin's clan brother to come over, under Liu Erjin's persuasion and stalking, Chu Huaijin finally decided to try his luck with the clan elder, maybe there is really a turnaround, can bear it or endure, this family is too emotional, Chu Huaijin is really reluctant to sell the property left by his father, and he is reluctant to leave Heming Town.

The patriarch of the Chu family in Heming Town is named Chu Wenxin, who is fifty-three years old this year. He was very satisfied with Chu Huaijin's arrival on the surface, and said a few polite words, as for Liu Erjin who came over, he didn't care at all.

Whether it is touting or begging, there are a lot of good words, and there are a lot of difficulties, Chu Huaijin has all the good words, and he almost grovels and sells himself.

Finally, Chu Wenxin, who was sitting high on the Taishi's chair, spoke: "Huai Jinxian's nephew, you also know that the past two years have been bad, and the grain in the clan has been in deficit, and the silver is even more embarrassing!" As a child of the clan, as the richest businessman in my Heming Town, the virtuous nephew has more, which is the proper meaning. This road and bridge construction is also for the people of the entire Heming Town, and the virtuous nephew is also a member of Heming Town, how can he be so stingy with money, wouldn't it make my fathers and elders of Heming Town feel cold"

High-sounding old-fashioned, Chu Huaijin bowed his head and was silent, this was the first time, he couldn't remember clearly, it didn't seem that the richest businessman in Heming Town should not be him, it should be this patriarch.

"Then may I ask the clan elder, you are an elder, aren't you also very rich? How many shares did you come up with? Liu Erjin finally stopped being patient, and he began to ask questions with burning eyes:

Glancing at Liu Erjin contemptuously, Chu Wenxin was very disdainful, he didn't bother to answer positively at all: "Erjin Xian Nephew is not a member of the Chu family, what we are discussing today is the internal affairs of my Chu family, Erjin Xian's nephew's surname is Liu, what qualifications do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Chu family, the virtuous nephew is a little too lenient!" ”

Liu Erjin was a little angry: "The sun and the moon are clear, the sky has its own public opinion, Chu Huaijin is surnamed Chu, but he is also my Liu Erjin's brother-in-law, and the clan elder is too deceitful!" ”

In the face of Liu Erjin's righteous indignation, Chu Wenxin still didn't care: "Who takes out how much share, this is the result of the public discussion within my Chu family, if Erjin's nephew feels that the internal affairs of the Chu family are unfair, he can go to the official, and the old man will accompany him to the end!" ”

Sue the official - of course it is useless. The officials of the yamen will not offend these squires for a Chu Huaijin, not to mention personal relationships, they still have to rely on these people to levy grain.

Now, Liu Erjin's mind is full of the words that Zhou Huchen said. Since this matter cannot be solved, his brother will never come out, and there is no need to think about the results of being squeezed for such a long time. Now, the only way is to make a big deal about it, and we must make a fuss so that the young marshal has a chance to come forward, therefore

Chu Wenxin was not far from Liu Erjin, so he sat firmly on a Taishi chair opposite Liu Erjin.

In just an instant, Liu Erjin, who was premeditated, had already rushed to Chu Wenxin's approach.

Liu Erjin grabbed Chu Wenxin's neck, a strong professional soldier with the army faced a drooping old man, Chu Wenxin was like a puppet in Liu Erjin's hands, he was easily lifted by Liu Erjin, and then, several old fists smashed the hateful face full of age spots in front of Liu Erjin

In the courtyard, there were a lot of people from the Chu family, Liu Erjin's vinegar-like old fist began to swing desperately, Liu Erjin was too strong, and after a few people in a row, finally, the people of the Chu family flocked up
