Chapter 101: Punishment
As soon as the two words of this official came out, all the villagers surrounding the Gu family were shocked and scattered, and they all looked back at the people on the five tall horses.
"Yo, these are all wearing official uniforms, they are really officials." The villagers whispered while retreating, for fear of colliding with the official.
When the old man Lu heard this, he was also shocked when he saw the old man on the red horse, but he knew only a limited number of county officials, and he didn't know who the old man was, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The old man's surname is Lu, and he is a relative of the county lord." Dare to ask this virtuous brother, where is the official? What do you do? ”
On the horse behind the old man, a middle-aged man wearing a public uniform and a big knife at his waist shouted angrily: "Bold, our county lieutenant is also a grass man who can be called a brother and a brother?" ”
asked Old Man Lu again: "What kind of relatives of the county Cheng Lord, we haven't heard that the county Cheng has any relatives in Dafeng Village, are you afraid that you are not pretending to be a relative of the official." ”
The middle-aged man immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Dare to pretend to be a relative of an official, this is a big crime. Come on, take this old guy and take him to the county government to ask for guilt. ”
Jiang County Lieutenant stopped the middle-aged man, looked at Old Man Lu and said: "This official remembered that Zou Xiancheng does have a family in the countryside, but he is not a serious relative, but he is just a concubine's maiden family. ”
asked Old Man Lu again: "You are the father of the little concubine?" ”
Old Man Lu was ashamed and angry, but he had to admit it and replied: "Yes." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people on the four horses behind Jiang County Lieutenant all burst into laughter: "Haha, it turned out to be a concubine's maiden family, does this concubine also have a maiden family?" As far as I know, all the aunts in Zou County are all born as maids, and they have signed a death contract, and life and death are all from the Zou County Cheng family, where did they come from? Where did Zou Xiancheng come from? ”
The voices of the four of them were the same as those of Jiang County Lieutenant, they were all very loud, and everyone heard these words, and the villagers whispered, and some of the older ones said to the younger ones: "These officials are right, that Lu Meihua used to be the maid of the county lord's family, and later became pregnant and gave birth to a son, so she became an aunt." ”
"What Lu Meihua, I heard that people are now called Li'er, and it is the name given by the county lord himself......"
The villagers talked a lot, and Old Man Lu blushed when he heard it, but the other party was the county lieutenant, not to mention that he couldn't afford to provoke him, even the county lord didn't dare to provoke easily.
This county lieutenant is the same as the county officer, and he is an eight-rank adjutant.
The county is responsible for the county's documents, household registration files, warehouses, grain, and taxes.
The county lieutenant is the division soldier, in charge of the county's soldiers and horses and the three classes of officials, responsible for arrest and public security.
As for the defenders, there were no garrisons in the county, and only on the outskirts of the prefecture were there military camps and garrisons.
And because County Lieutenant Jiang was born in the army and was in charge of the county's soldiers, he has always been a fierce man, and their Lu family did not dare to offend.
Shang Xiucai heard Jiang County's loud voice, walked out to greet him, and waved at Jiang County: "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”
When County Lieutenant Jiang saw Shang Xiucai coming out, he immediately dismounted, helped him weakly, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, has the Lu family given you hardship?" ”
If the Lu family dared to bully his son-in-law, he, Jiang Dahu, would definitely go and tear down the Lu family, and then go to split the gate of the Cheng family in Zou County.
Jiang County Lieutenant is very satisfied with Shang Xiucai's son-in-law. He and Shang Xiucai's father were old friends, and later after his daughter Xue Niang married Shang Xiucai, she was not pregnant for ten years, and Shang Xiucai did not marry Xiao, and comforted Xue Niang, saying that the matter of the heir was not her fault alone, and he was also responsible.
In this life, if they can give birth to their husband and wife, they will give birth, and if they can't give birth, they don't have to force it. If Xue Niang wants to have a child, she can go to the Shang family or the Jiang family to raise one.
When Jiang County Lieutenant heard this, he was so moved, he was originally satisfied with this son-in-law, thinking that he was good at reading and knowledgeable, and since then, he was even more satisfied, and he couldn't wait to treat him as his own son.
So as soon as he received the words from Lao Luo, and after learning about the relationship between the Lu family and Zou Xiancheng, he knew that the Lu family was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with, so he personally brought people and horses to come.
At this moment, several families knew that this Xiucai was the one they had heard of, with a strange temper, and Shang Xiucai who won the Fugui auspicious lamp in the Fugui Building.
And he is also the son-in-law of the county lieutenant.
That's really ......
The third grandfather was so excited that his hands trembled, now it's okay, he hangs his heart, and he can finally let go.
The third grandfather came to Jiang County Lieutenant with several families and saluted Jiang County Lieutenant: "The grass people knock to see the county lieutenant." ”
Jiang County Lieutenant waved his hand: "Get up, there is something to worship." Who was the benefactor who saved my granddaughter? Come out and show the old man. ”
Shang Xiucai pointed at Gu Jinli and said with a smile: "It's this little benefactor." ”
Gu Jinli stood up and said to Jiang County: "I don't dare to call myself a benefactor, I just passed by and helped a little." ”
When Jiang County Lieutenant heard this, he was originally afraid that the family would beg for retribution, but now he was relieved: "You are not a small busy, Yuan Yuan is the pearl of our Jiang family and the Shang family, you saved Yuan Yuan, that is to save our Jiang and Shang families." ”
Jiang County Lieutenant is a calf protector, and took the opportunity to shout to the villagers present: "Listen to the official, this Gu family is the official's life-saving benefactor, whoever dares to trouble her family, the official will not let him go!" ”
The villagers had long been shocked by Gu Jinli's rescue of the granddaughter of the county lieutenant, and when they heard this again, they were so frightened that they hurriedly said: "No, don't dare to bully...... They are all from the village. ”
County Lieutenant Jiang snorted coldly: "It's better to remember what you said today." ”
As he spoke, the backward group of men and horses arrived.
There were fifty soldiers with guns and knives and quivers on their backs!
When the villagers saw this group of soldiers, they were even more frightened and shrank and did not dare to look up.
Old man Lu was so frightened that he was about to faint, this Jiang County Lieutenant actually came with the county soldiers, and his third son must be escorted to the county this time.
Now he only hopes that his youngest daughter can be more capable, and said that Zou Xiancheng will help their Lu family, otherwise their Lu family is afraid that they will break the family.
Seeing that the people had arrived, County Lieutenant Jiang pointed to the courtyard of the Gu family and said, "Go and escort the prisoners inside to the county for this official." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers responded, rushed into the courtyard of the Gu family, and escorted Lu Laosan and them out of the courtyard.
Lu Laosan was already stupid, only He Dacai and a few bastards were still crying: "Wronged, wronged, official, the Lu family asked us to do it, we just exchanged a few silver coins as thugs......"
The soldiers ignored them and escorted them away.
As for Old Man Lu, County Lieutenant Jiang did not let it go, and the charge given was reasonable: "Dare to take the clansmen to obstruct the official to handle the case, this is a big crime, and the official will be arrested." ”
The rest of the soldiers rushed up again and tied up Old Man Lu and more than 30 members of the Lu family.
These more than 30 members of the Lu family are all men of the Lu family, and such a catch can be described as a catastrophe for the Lu family.
The women of the Lu family cried bitterly and pleaded, but after a few sounds, the soldiers drew their swords, and they were too frightened to speak anymore.
Jiang County Lieutenant said to the third grandfather: "This matter has to be passed through the court, and you families will send a few men to the county with us to solve this matter." ”
The third grandfather discussed with Qin Lao for a while, and then decided that the third grandfather would take Gu Dashan, Gu Damu, and Luo's father to the county, and the others would stay at home and wait for news.
And Jiang County Lieutenant was afraid that the Lu family would trouble the Gu family again, so he left ten soldiers to guard in Dafeng Village, so he escorted Lu Laosan and them away.
Shang Xiucai was worried about his wife and daughter at home, so he didn't follow him to the county, but went home, but he said that he would come back tomorrow, and he could ask him for help if the Gu family had anything.
The ten soldiers did not live at the end of the village, but were arranged by the village chief He and lived in the village chief's house.
Gu Jinli thought that this matter would be troubled for a long time, but in just two days, Lu Laosan was sentenced.
