Chapter 097: The Visitor
Lu Laosan was very angry when he saw that his mother-in-law did not call the Gu family, and personally brought the two subordinates of the family, as well as He Dacai and He Shanwa, eight bastards, to Gu Jinli's house.
He San's leper didn't come, probably because he was frightened by Gu Jinli and avoided it.
Lu Laosan was a medium-sized man, in his thirties, with no beard on his face, wearing a flamboyant red long jacket and holding a hand warmer in his hand, and came to the courtyard of Gu Jinli's house.
The two subordinates also carried a Taishi chair, put the Taishi chair in the courtyard, and let Lu Laosan sit.
After Lu Laosan sat down, he looked at the few families standing in the courtyard, smiled disdainfully, and said straight to the point: "I heard that how many of you are making tofu?" The adults in the county already know about this, and now the county lord has sent a message and asked you to hand over this tofu recipe and the recipe for seasoning and spices to the county. This is a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and you should be interested. ”
After Lu Laosan finished speaking, a subordinate beside him stepped forward, spread his hand to the third grandfather and said, "Old man of the Gu family, hand over the recipe." ”
Seeing that Lu Laosan was so arrogant, several families were trembling with anger.
Gu Dalin was impulsive, and he couldn't bear it the most, so he knocked off the man's hand and said angrily: "This is our recipe, why do you want us to hand it over to Lord County?" ”
Lu Laosan frowned and corrected him: "This recipe is not for the county lord, it is for the county." The adults in the county think that your recipe is good and can benefit the people, so let you hand it over. ”
Lu Laosan said it righteously, and moved out of all the adults in the county, and Gu Jinli laughed, she stood up and asked: "Since it is the adults in the county who want the prescription, why didn't the county government send a scribe or a servant to get the prescription?" ”
The Chen family took the tofu business very seriously, and was originally afraid of the Lu family, but at this time he couldn't help but shout: "Yes, since the county wants a recipe, why didn't the county send someone here, but the Lu family came to ask for a recipe?" ”
Chen stood on tiptoe and said with a stiff neck: "Is this recipe for the county, or does your Lu family want to grab it?" "Don't pretend, they knew yesterday that it was the Lu family who wanted this recipe.
Lu Laosan didn't expect these families to dare to expose him in person, he was very annoyed, and put down his cruel words: "This recipe is wanted by the adults in the county, my Lu family is related to the county lord, and I am in the same village as you, so the county entrusted this matter to our Lu family." But instead of handing over the prescription, you dare to slander the Lu family, this is a big crime, and our Lu family can send you to the official for investigation! ”
The peasants are afraid of officials, in the past, their Lu family wanted to find something, as long as they used the name of the county lord to scare and scare, the ordinary peasants would be scared half to death, and honestly hand over the things or people that their family fancied.
Lu Laosan thought, although these families are not easy to deal with, but the mud legs in the countryside must also be afraid of officials, such a scare, they will definitely not be able to bear it, and hand over the recipe.
Gu Jinli said: "I have only heard of slandering the emperor's relatives and relatives to be sent to the official for conviction, dare to ask Lu Sanye, are your Lu family relatives and relatives?" "Isn't it an uncle?
The peasants are afraid of officials, but they are even more afraid of the royal family, Lu Laosan does not dare to accept this, if he does, it will be a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.
But he was annoyed that a child in Gu Jinli dared to refute him like this, so he angrily pointed at Gu Jinli and scolded: "A yellow-haired girl, how can you speak here, go aside, this is an adult's business." ”
Qin Sanlang was afraid that Lu Laosan would let his subordinates be rude to Gu Jinli, so he took two steps forward, blocked Gu Jinli, and took the opportunity to say: "Since you said that it was the recipe that the county asked the Lu family to want, then there should be documents, take out the county documents and show them to us." ”
Qin Lao nodded and said, "San Lang is right, Lu Sanye, please bring the county documents to us to see, if it is true, we will discuss it and see if we want to give the recipe to the county." ”
Where does Lu Laosan have any paperwork? It's just to use the name of the county officials to suppress a few of them, so that they can honestly hand over the recipe.
He immediately became angry, slammed the hand warmer in his hand on the ground, and threatened: "A group of Diao people, dare to disobey the orders of the county adults, you are waiting to be jailed by the county!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at He Dacai and the bastards, motioned for them to make a move, and smashed the Gu family.
To put it bluntly, He Dacai and these bastards are the thugs raised by the Lu family, and the Lu family specially uses them to deal with people in the village who don't listen to the Lu family, and He Dacai These bastards are the He family, even if they are caught, for the sake of his own sons and nephews, Village Chief He will not treat He Dacai and them as well.
"Brothers, this Gu family dares to disobey the orders of the adults in the county, this is to bring trouble to our village, let's not be polite, smash this Gu family, and vent anger to the old men in the county."
As soon as He Dacai's words fell, He Shanwa rolled up his sleeves and wanted to smash the Gu family.
Gu Jinli had already drawn out his dagger, intending to slash these bastards, but before the two parties could make a move, a few children's voices came from outside the house: "Those who have fled the famine live here, give us candy quickly." ”
In addition to the sounds of children, there was the sound of a mule cart with a bell.
"These are the people who sold tofu in the town on the day of the Lantern Festival?" A young male voice asked uneasily.
The children said impatiently, "I don't know what tofu you are talking about?" But these families have been carrying the burden to the town to sell things every day recently, and this is their family, give us candy, don't you want to give it, do you want to get rid of it? ”
"Okay, okay, I'll give you candy, one piece for each person."
"Oh, there's candy, there's sugar." A few children got the caramel and ran away happily.
Shaoqing, a young man wearing a blue cotton jacket and about seventeen or eighteen years old came to the courtyard gate of Gu Jinli's house and asked loudly: "Is this the ...... who sells tofu in the town?"
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned when he saw a group of people in the courtyard, and then turned around and ran.
Not long after, the young man and a middle-aged man came to the courtyard of the Gu family again, and after the middle-aged man saw the situation in the courtyard, he immediately asked, "What is the contradiction between you and you?" ”
When Lu Laosan saw this person, he frowned, and the subordinates of the Lu family said: "These families have offended the adults in the county, and we are teaching them a lesson, where did you come from?" Don't meddle with things. ”
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, looked at the third grandfather, and asked, "You have offended the adults in the county?" ”
Chen's mouth was fast, and he immediately shouted: "They are talking nonsense, our family did not offend the adults in the county, it was their Lu family who came to rob our tofu recipe." ”
Grab a recipe?
The middle-aged man's brow furrowed even deeper.
"Where the hell did you come from? Hurry up and get out, don't be nosy, or I'll beat you up! He Dacai raised his fist and threatened.
When the young man heard this, he said angrily: "Our master is a talent in Jingwu for twenty-six years, and he has a meritorious reputation, see which of you dares to fight?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, He Dacai and the bastards were taken aback, this weak middle-aged man turned out to be a showman, that can't be beaten, if he beats a famous showman in vain, he will be arrested and sent to prison.
