Chapter 229: Stealing
Although they traveled all the way, it was already dark when they arrived at Nanshan Village, and as soon as they entered the village, they heard shouts and shouts of killing.
It turned out that someone colluded with outsiders to steal grain, and this is worth it?
Every autumn harvest in the village, a patrol must be organized to guard the food in the village, but also to prevent wild beasts from attacking the village, but today a group of robbers were caught.
The leader is the Wang family brothers, they have been following the He family, they were originally village tyrants, and now they have a little bit of a look, because He Hu went to Fucheng to explain it deliberately, so they were very attentive at night, no, let them catch it in the end.
The three brothers were all excited, you know, they have made meritorious contributions, and they must be indispensable, so they are quite hardworking.
"Say, who hooked up with you?"
"I know you, it's from Shangwang Village, it's really a good dog who dares to steal to our Nanshan Village."
"Grandpa, catch them and send them to the government."
As soon as his words fell, a group of people rushed up.
When those who came to steal the grain saw it, they were careful to expose it, and secretly scolded Ye Laosi, the king and the eight calves, who pit me, and turned around and ran.
Originally, they had prepared a way and plan to escape smoothly, but they were unlucky, but they didn't expect to run into He Hu who was returning home and the convoy behind him.
Suddenly, he was blocked by a two-sided attack.
Therefore, this group of people was quickly arrested, and under interrogation, it turned out that there was a collusion between the people of the village, and the inside should be outside, so soon the whole family of the colluding person was arrested in the ancestral hall.
Old Madam Ye looked horrified, "What are you doing?" Why are you arresting my family for old age? ”
"Let go, let go---"
Ye Liu also looked frightened, "Who are you?" Why arrest us? We didn't break the law? ”
Then he rushed to Lizheng, "Third grandfather, third grandfather, you must be the master for us, we haven't done anything, we haven't done anything, we have been wronged, wronged." ”
But Li Zheng didn't pay attention to her at all, and was dragged aside by a woman before she could get in front of her, "Phew, don't be shameless, what are you going to pounce on?" ”
"Hmph, whether you are wronged or not, you will only know after the trial."
In ancient times, Li Zheng was a very important position, both as a village official and as the head of the sect, he could make decisions on the affairs of the village, and even had the right to execute the clansmen.
There is a woman who does not abide by women's morals, and she is sentenced to the punishment of sinking in the pond, which is completely okay, so he has the highest status in the village.
Ye Liu cried vigorously, but no one cared about it, and they held torches one by one to watch the excitement.
After a while, Ye Laosi was arrested, and he looked unruly, "What are you doing?" Why arrest me? What law have I violated? ”
After pushing the person to the ground, someone couldn't help but scold: "What law do you say you have violated?" Dare to unite with outsiders to steal the food of your village, you are still not human? ”
"Do you know that you are guilty of stealing? That's to sit through the prison. ”
Ye Laosi was also a little scared when he heard this, but he immediately quibbled: "Who stole it?" Don't frame anyone. ”
"They said I colluded, I colluded, is there any evidence?"
"Saying, why should I steal?"
"The sweet potatoes of the He family belong to my niece, the land was bought by my niece, I am her own uncle, I want sweet potatoes and use to steal them?"
"I tell you, no one wants to touch me."
As soon as his words fell, Mrs. Ye immediately cried and shouted: "My old man is right, what are you doing here?" Unloading the mill and killing the donkey? Lou girl, that's my own granddaughter, you actually want to do something to her granddaughter? ”
"My own grandson-in-law is a man, if you dare to arrest my son, I will let my grandson-in-law send you all to the cell."
"God, there is no reason, you people who have suffered a thousand cuts, let go of my son."
...
Mrs. Ye sat on the ground and began to cry, everyone, look at me, I look at you.
If it was usual, it would be fine, but now Ye Xiaolou's identity is different, she is a lady, and this land was bought by her, and it is also from the Cui family, although the He family is in-law with the Cui family, it is actually similar to the Ye family.
Everyone understands that Ye Xiaolou is of course more towards the He family, after all, it is her mother-in-law's family, and her mother's family treats her badly, but no matter what, it is also her mother's family.
If Ye Laosi was really sentenced by the government in the name of stealing, it would not be good for Ye Xiaolou's reputation, and if her reputation was not good, it would naturally affect Cui Yuanheng, so everyone hesitated.
In the end, He Hu opened his mouth, pressed Ye Laosi first, and waited for him to ask Ye Xiaolou how to deal with it.
The Ye family naturally didn't do it, and they wanted to go to Fucheng all the time.
But how dare the people in the village let them go, they are still counting on Ye Xiaolou to be kind and take everyone to get rich together.
Therefore, the one guarded by the Ye family is called a strict.
He Hu didn't dare to delay, this is just a small fight, what if they come to make a big one?
Therefore, I asked the villagers to help overnight and weighed the sweet potatoes into the car.
But it didn't all take it away, but left a lot of good seeds.
After all, she was born in Yejia Village, so there is no reason not to help, and with the Ye family here, she also needs to be suppressed, so Ye Xiaolou is very generous.
According to each household, it can be divided into 20 stones of sweet potatoes to make good seeds, and there are 50 or 60 households in this village, but in order to get these seeds, they began to divide the families that night, and more than 200 households were forcibly divided.
There are only 30 acres of sweet potatoes in total, and half of them have been reduced all of a sudden, which is also something that everyone does not realize.
However, since Ye Xiaolou said it, he will not break his promise.
The peasant family likes to take advantage, originally a family, but there are many sons in the family, and there are many people who have married daughters-in-law but do not divide the family, and all of them are divided at once.
The normal one may have become three or four copies, and Ye Xiaolou also inadvertently contributed to this kind of good thing.
Because from Ye Xiaolou's point of view, it will be better for women after separation, after all, they can live their own small lives, and they don't have to be angry all day long.
And for those who have special difficulties after the separation, they also left a part for Li Zheng to help these people.
It can be said that Ye Xiaolou is very interesting to Yejia Village.
And a few hundred taels of silver were scattered out like this.
You must know that it is very good for each family to have an interest rate of one or two taels of silver a year, although she now has a lot of silver in her hand, but her wealth is not exposed, everyone knows this truth.
Giving back to the people of Nanshan Village with the harvest in Nanshan Village has been benevolent and righteous, and no one will say that she is not good, only grateful.
She not only donated sweet potatoes, but also donated her own 30 acres of sandy land, to say that this land was not worth much before, but now that such a high-yield sweet potato can be grown, who dares to say that this land is not valuable.
How many people are eager to pay more for the best fields to buy these lands, but Ye Xiaolou doesn't care about this.
She asked He Hu to deal with these things, and then let their family move to the city with the convoy.
Of course, the news of the Ye family was also handed over.
