Chapter 136: The consequences are severe
Early in the morning, Jiang Long practiced several trips of Xingyiquan three-body standing pile method in a secluded corner of the printing factory.
Picked up the wool cloth and wiped the sweat on his forehead, because his body had recovered, so Jiang Long just sat down and rested a little, and his physical strength had recovered again, and he could clearly feel that the liliang of his body had increased.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is the time to grow his strength.
In addition, he practiced martial arts and drank a decoction made from ancient prescriptions.
After another punch, Jiang Long returned to the house where he temporarily lived, and the maid ring specially arranged by Chai Shirong helped him wash his face and hands, and then sat down for breakfast.
The breakfast was plentiful, six dishes and one soup.
After eating, Jiang Long was going to look for Chai Shirong.
Speaking of Chai Shirong is really a person with a strong sense of dedication, since he firmly controlled the printing house and the study in various places, he is full of energy, busy from morning to night every day, and only sleeps for two or three hours at most at night.
If there are too many things, or even just a break for an hour, get up and do things.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Chai Shirong should have gotten up early.
Maybe it's because I've been suppressed for too long and can't see any hope, so I cherish the rare opportunity so much.
Jiang Long had such a conjecture in his heart.
When he came to the place where he was dealing with affairs, Chai Shirong was really already doing things.
Jiang Long walked over and sat at the table, and a guy brought tea.
"Jiang Long, I didn't say you, there are so many things at hand, but you push them all to me, you are enjoying yourself." Although Chai Shirong complained in his mouth, he got up early and went to bed late every day, but his spirit and mood were very good.
"Brother Chai, you also know that I have a lot of things on hand, so I can't always stay here at the printing house."
"So you arrested me to be a strong man?"
"That can't be helped, who made you willing." Jiang Long spread his hands.
When Chai Shirong heard this, he glanced at Jiang Long angrily.
The two were talking and laughing, when they heard the guy report outside the door, and there were Jingfu guards asking to see him.
Jiang Long asked a guard to bring back the news yesterday, thinking that Mrs. Jing had something to say, and these words were secret and could not be passed on, so he walked out, but when he saw the guard he asked to see, he was a little curious, why it wasn't yesterday.
Then he took the Jingfu guards back to where he lived.
"You went to the farm with me?" Jiang Long looked at this guard with some familiarity.
The guard hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Yes, the little one came to see the little master this time...... Next, the guard quickly explained the reason for coming to see him in detail.
After Jiang Long heard this, his face gradually turned cold.
Seeing that Jiang Long's face was not good-looking, the guards were also careful.
"You go back to the farm first, tell the young lady, and I'll arrive later." Jiang Long was angry in his chest.
It turned out that it was time to water the fields, and a few tenant farmers went to the river to dig ditches, but they were beaten by the people in the Anle Hou Mansion, and the other party was quite ruthless.
Not only were several tenant farmers bleeding, but an elderly tenant farmer had his leg broken.
If that's all it takes, it won't make Jiang Long too angry.
But whoever has planted farmland, which of the neighboring families will not make a little awkward?
The order of watering, you first or me first?
stepped on the field or seedlings, and if you don't see who stepped on it, you will also point to the mulberry and scold the acacia, who is blind?
and the boundaries of farmland are not clear, etc., a few words of discord, will pick up a shovel, and the sticks will rush up to stage a full martial arts.
For this reason, the broken head and broken arm can often be heard and seen.
But the guards spoke in detail, saying that in the past few years, five tenant farmers had died at the hands of the other party.
It's just hurting, that's nothing.
Sit down and discuss, how to deal with it, pay some money for the injury, apologize or something, and it will be solved.
But there was a human life...... Human life is at stake!
Although in the eyes of some nobles, the lives of servants are not valuable, but Jiang Long crossed over from another shijie.
In his eyes, the lives of the tenant farmers were just as valuable.
And judging from the other party's methods, he directly hit his tenant farmer with a heavy hand and broke his head and blood and broke his leg, and he died a few years ago, which is not putting Jingfu in his eyes at all.
Otherwise, the people in the Anle Hou Mansion went to the tenant farmers in the farms under the jurisdiction of King Huai to give it a try?
Borrow him ten guts, and he will not dare.
If it was just a trivial matter, and the tenant farmers on his side were bullied, Jiang Long would definitely go back to the farm immediately to support the tenant farmers, and let the guards in the house beat each other to give their tenant farmers a beating, and then ask for more money for the injury medicine The matter would be over.
But now that a tenant farmer has been killed, and Jiang Long is angry, then the consequences will be serious.
The guards didn't know what Jiang Long's plans were, and after answering, they retreated.
Then get on your horse and head straight in the direction of the farmstead.
Jiang Long got up and walked to Chai Shirong's room, Chai Shirong was discussing things with the previous manager of the printing house, and then raised his head, and saw that Jiang Long's face was not very good-looking, so he immediately asked with concern: "What, is there something going on in the house?" ”
"Something happened to the farm I took over."
Jiang Long did not hide it, and roughly explained the situation reported by the guards.
Chai Shirong immediately took the case, and roared loudly: "A little Anle Hou Mansion, you dare to bully your head with a virtuous brother, go, let's rush over and teach them a good lesson." ”
Jiang Long narrowed his eyes, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Just beating them lightly or severely, how can you eliminate the anger in my chest?" ”
"Brother Xian, what do you mean?" Chai Shirong was stunned.
"I'm not very familiar with this An Lehou, Brother Chai might as well introduce it to me." Jianglong Road.
"Okay."
Chai Shirong immediately said everything he knew.
An Lehou's surname is Hu, and he is an emerging nobleman, not because of his ancestors' military exploits, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
Hu Deshen is because he has a daughter who is very beautiful, and once he accidentally met the emperor who visited Weifu on the street, but he fell into the eyes of the emperor and was taken to the palace.
The Hu family's female single name is a piano word, it is said that she is good at music and beauty, and she dances a good dance, when she was named the concubine of the moon, the emperor gave Huqin's father an Le Hou.
This marquis is not the same as a title like the Duke of Chengguo, it is not hereditary, that is to say, after the death of the current Marquis of Anle, the title will be withdrawn, unless the emperor decrees again, otherwise Hu Deshen's son is not qualified to succeed the marquis.
Jiang Long sat there and listened quietly, and his expression did not fluctuate because Hu Qin was the concubine of the first palace.
"Brother Xian, although the men of the Hu family are not angry, they are all wine bags and rice bags, but after all, there is a ......concubine in the Anle Hou Mansion" Chai Shirong saw a dangerous light flickering in Jiang Long's eyes, and his heart tightened, if he just beat the subordinates of the other party's family, or even caused a death, it was not a big deal.
But if Jiang Long makes a big fuss, it will be different if he wants to attack a few masters in An Lehou's mansion.
After all, the other party has the title of marquis, and he is a nobleman.
So Chai Shirong wanted to persuade one or two.
But Jiang Long only waved his hand slightly, obviously making up his mind.
At this time, standing aside, the chief steward who used to manage the printing house suddenly opened his mouth, "The little one also knows some things about Anlehou, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
After Chai Gengchen and Chai Shihao sent by Chai Shihao came to the printing house, they vigorously suppressed this steward and almost squeezed him out of the printing house, so after Chai Shirong showed tough means and threw an olive branch to him, this steward happily took his former subordinates to Chai Shirong's camp.
Thanks to the strong assistance of this steward in the past few days, otherwise Chai Shirong would have been busy and would not have time to sleep.
"Say." Jiang Long said.
"Yes." Guan bowed deeply to Jiang Long in advance, and then replied, "The child of a relative's family is a good gambler, and he can't control it, and there are several times when he owes a large amount of money to the gambling house, and his relatives come to the small house to borrow money.
And ask me to go and make peace from it, and reduce the interest a little. ”
Because the steward is a person from the Chengguo Mansion, and he is not an ordinary servant, the gambling house has to give some face.
"The little one went to the gambling house a few times, and I saw An Lehou among them."
Jiang Long touched his chin, "You mean An Lehou is a good gambler?" ”
"In addition, the little one also saw that Young Master Shining was also there, and it seemed that Young Master Shining and An Lehou had a very good relationship."
Hearing this, Jiang Long's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the steward approvingly.
Chai Shirong was still a little puzzled, "What do you mean by saying this?" ”
"Just beating up the people in An Lehou's mansion, Jing Gongzi is angry, but what if he secretly designs a sum of money to pit An Lehou?" The steward raised his hand and stroked the black beard, and said with a smile.
"Wrong."
Jiang Long corrected, "It's not a sum of silver, but a lot of silver!" ”
Gamble, secret design, silver...... When Chai Shirong heard this, he understood a little.
"Brother Chai, what is your relationship with Chai Shining?" Jiang Long asked at this time.
Chai Shirong shook his head lightly, "Shining is the grandson of my fifth grandfather, the third in the family, although my fifth grandfather and my grandfather are brothers of the same mother, but the relationship between the two is not good, our two families rarely interact, so my friendship with Shining is also very ordinary." ”
Originally, the cousins in the same clan and close relatives were all ranked together according to age, but there were too many people in the Chai family, so each family was in its own row.
Speaking of which, he finally reacted completely, "You want to use Shining to trap An Lehou?" ”
"People who are addicted to gambling, once they are crazy about gambling, their eyes are red, and they don't even want their lives, and they have anything to bet on in their hands." Jiang Long has learned gambling skills for several years with the liar master in his previous life, and his gambling skills are extremely clever, and he explained lightly: "I don't know how many people have lost their fortunes because of gambling. ”
At this time, the steward interjected and sighed, "Yes, in the gambling house, I also saw someone staking his wife and children up, and the result was that after losing the game, even his wife and children became someone else's!" Luckily, my relative's child didn't do this, he just lost some money, otherwise he would......"
In this era, the man is the head of the family, and his wife and children can also be said to be his private property.
Can be used as a bet.
But before the steward's words were finished, he was interrupted by Jiang Long waving his hand and speaking, "There are very few people who really lose all their property or their wives and children because of good gambling, and the reason why many people lose their eyes and gamble crazy is because there are villains who are secretly designing!" ”
When the steward heard this, his heart tightened.
"And the people who secretly design may have taken a fancy to the money in their hearts, their family property, or the beautiful wives in their families......"
