Chapter 35: For the rich, not benevolent
Someone next to him accosted him, and his eyes rolled straight up.
"Who knows, let's see what the master of the yamen says. Tsk, half of the cow has been gnawed up, and the rest of the beef doesn't know which grandson's belly is cheaper. ”
"Why don't we discuss it with the bolt master and divide the cow? I haven't seen oil and water at home for a few days. Anyway, the investigation of the case is based on human corpses, and it has nothing to do with cows. ”
Someone next to him was bluffed and hurriedly punched him:
"Are you crazy? Killing cattle in private is a capital offense! ”
The man pursed his lips, aimed at the other people who had the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief, and smacked his lips and said:
"What are you talking about, we didn't kill the cow, and the meat was also eaten by wild animals, what does it have to do with us?"
"If you're afraid, just pull more people and eat meat with the big guys, are you still afraid that the upper authorities will punish so many of us? Just to eat meat? ”
"Besides, now that spring is about to be planted, everyone has been arrested, who will grow grain and pay taxes? When the county magistrate is as stupid as you, he must have turned a blind eye and passed. ”
The others were really moved, and each pulled someone to mutter for a while, and they started together, and cut off most of the meat from the big yellow cow that had been gnawed into a blur of flesh, and the bone rack also removed the small half of the boiled bone broth, took it back to the village, knocked on the door from door to door, and repeatedly told not to leak his mouth.
only missed the annoying Yang family.
These people don't say it on their lips, but in their hearts, they all hope that it is Yang Yanquan's father and mother who don't do anything.
There are few of these two scourges in the village, and there are not enough inches of land left, so that the old and young masters in the village can fool their bellies, so that they will not be forced to sell their sons and daughters, and you sell your house and land to pay back his family's seal money!
It's only been a few years, and most of the land in the village has fallen into the hands of the two who have a black conscience.
Where do they have any land? They are all tenants who use the Yang family as cattle and horses! If you can't pay the rent after the autumn, the Yang family can really pick your skin!
For example, in the past, Lin Chuan's family, when Lin Dad went into the mountains to hunt and asked the big insect to bite off his leg, the blood couldn't be stopped, and he was about to die when he saw people, so he borrowed five taels of silver from the Yang family and pressed his handprint.
As a result, Father Lin's life was counted, and before the person was sent to the town's medical hall, he swallowed his breath halfway.
Lin Chuan's family cried darkly, and hurriedly handled the funeral of Father Lin.
After guarding the spirit all night, the next day there was a secret reminder that he was good with his family, telling him to quickly return the money borrowed from the Yang family, and his family's money was hot.
They all live in the same village, what virtue does the Yang family have, Lin Chuan also knows a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, so he immediately wore a heavy filial piety, took the five taels of silver borrowed from the Yang family, turned his head and went to the Yang family.
Who knew that the Yang family thought he was unlucky, closed the door tightly and didn't call him in, and pretended to comfort him through the door, saying that death is great, and there is no hurry to repay the money, so first handle the aftermath of Daddy Lin, and let the old man go away, and he can also vote for a good family to enjoy happiness in the next life.
Lin Chuan was so moved that he cried bitterly at that time, and when he saw people, he said good things about the Yang family; Whoever wants to say that the Yang family is not good, he will glare at people and get angry with several families.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just died and was pro-Laozi, people would have turned their faces against him;
Even those who were close to his family, who reminded and persuaded them with kind words behind their backs, were pouted back, and a piece of kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Later, no one bothered to persuade him, or gloated or feared that he would suffer in the end.
Sure enough, when Daddy Lin settled in the ground, the Yang family came to ask for debts.
Lin Chuan thanked him for returning the remaining four taels of silver, and sincerely praised the Yang family's benevolence and righteousness, poverty alleviation, and a good person, patting his chest and saying that he would earn and pay back the one or two silver spent on white things.
Yang Yanquan didn't say anything, happily accepted the silver and wrote the receipt, glanced at the eldest girl of the Lin family, smiled, and walked away with his back hand.
Needless to say, Lin Chuan got up early and saved a tael of silver, and Baba ran to return it to the Yang family, but was told that these were not enough money, and there was no way to want an IOU.
Lin Chuan was poured cold on his head, and looked at the white and chubby old man Yang in a daze, and asked him about his daughter, the meaning of the words, telling him to change his daughter in the future, and everything was easy to discuss.
Lin Chuan went home in despair, learned from his daughter-in-law, and then came back to his senses, and the old bastard remembered his daughter!
Lin Chuan was about to hit the Yang family at that time, but was stopped by his daughter-in-law crying and hugging her legs.
Lin Chuan really couldn't swallow this breath, his heart was crossed, and the county government sued Yang Yanquan for being rich and unkind, and defrauding people of their wealth in the fish and meat township.
But Yang Yanquan had an IOU where he pressed his handprint, and he couldn't refuse to admit it when the county magistrate asked, and finally was sentenced to a false accusation, ordered him to repay his debts, and also slapped 20 boards to set an example.
It is said that Lin Chuan is a hunter, his body is strong, and he will suffer a little bit of skin and flesh if he puts on twenty boards, and he will be fine if he raises it for a while.
But how did he know that the board in the yamen was very powerful, there were many doorways inside, if the silver was sufficient, a few boards could be broken inside, and there was no flaw on the face!
There are also thunder and rain, earth-shattering movements, looking at the blurred flesh and blood, in fact, they are all flesh wounds, muscles and bones are not hindered at all, and they are alive and kicking again after two days of smearing gold sore medicine.
Yang Yanquan had bad water, and he started Lin Chuan's daughter's idea, so naturally Yinzi wanted to teach Lin Chuan a lesson, and Lin Chuan suffered a big dumb loss with a meal.
Lin Chuan was carried home and fell unconscious, with a high fever.
The family had no money to buy medicine to treat the disease, so they had to go to Yang Yanquan again.
Yang Yanquan took the opportunity to harm the daughter of the Lin family, leaving a hundred big money, lifting his trouser belt and leaving.
The daughter of the Lin family hanged herself that night, Lin Chuan's daughter-in-law went crazy, Lin Chuan vomited blood and died, the Lin family's house and land all belonged to the Yang family, and in the end they didn't even get a thin coffin, or the kind villagers took the mat and wrapped it casually to bury it.
The Yang family's reputation for being vicious is widely spread, but no one dares to go against his family openly, for fear of becoming the next Lin family, so he has to grit his teeth behind his back and curse his family to die a short life.
It's a pity that the gods and Buddhas don't open their eyes, and they still make the Yang family arrogant, and even the only stupid girl is okay, how unfair!
"It's the Yang family who died, right?"
"Definitely! Retribution is long overdue. ”
The villagers whispered, extremely relieved.
When the village chief led Li Zheng over, he looked at the blood-red piece from a distance, and did not dare to approach, so he called a few villagers and asked him briefly, and then told him to go to the town to report to the official.
"There are so many dead fish in the river!"
The villagers pointed to the river and told the village chief to look at the village, and the ducks and geese did not call down the river.
"Quickly scoop up all the dead fish and see if it's poisonous! Don't eat it by mistake, something big will happen! ”
Li Zheng was well-informed, and hurriedly called someone to catch fish, and piled it up in one place so that people could not look at it.
"But don't make a big mess, it will be troublesome to recruit Jinyiwei again."
Li Zheng's face was full of worry, and he couldn't stop brushing his beard.
"Do you know which family died? What about the bitter master? ”
The village chief touched the dry tobacco pouch pinned to his waist, and the wrinkles on his face were deep.
"It should be Yang Yanquan's family in our village, and he has already called his family to recognize the body."
