Lu Wanxing was lying on the bed, and she could guess how the three of them were talking nonsense without looking, if she could, she should really award them an acting award.

After tossing this day, the senses that were somewhat numb by the blood gradually became sleepy. Lu Wanxing turned over and fell asleep.

In Huaishupo, the entire Lu family went through a sleepless night.

Lu Chengding brought Lu Yunian's letter back to the ancestral hall and handed it to Xiucaigong.

Only after unfolding the letter did I know that Lu Yunian had temporarily handed over the position of patriarch to the deputy of Xiucai. What was written in the letter was that they had made up their minds, and they could not drag down the entire Lu family, and they were not allowed to take money to ransom people. also made a special statement to let Xiucai Gong help him take care of Lu Yuan more. The more he did that, the more people felt that they should be able to bring him back.

Lu Yunian actually grasped this point and used the means of wanting to capture and indulge.

Lu Chengding said indignantly: "There is a group of bandits on Niutou Mountain, we should report to the official and let the government help rescue the patriarch." ”

Lu Laoba flattened the corners of his mouth with disdain and said, "Report to the official? That is to push my seventh uncle into the fire pit, you haven't heard how ruthless the people in Niutouzhai are, you see ......" As he spoke, he raised his tightly wrapped hand and said, "I'm just a warning." ”

The last thing Lu Chengding wants to hear is Lu Laoba talking, if it weren't for the four of them, how could these things happen?

Lu Chengding didn't care about the identity of his elders, and scolded: "If it weren't for the fact that the four of you coveted ginseng and were caught by Niutouzhai, how could so many things have happened?" What qualifications do you have to speak at the ancestral hall now? ”

"Lu Chengding, I haven't settled the account with you in Niutouzhai yet, you don't call here." Lu Laoba hugged his fists at Xiucai Gong and said: "Uncle Xiucai, you still have to be reasonable, the injuries on my face were all beaten by your grandson, this is no old or young, you are now the acting patriarch, do you have to give me justice first?" ”

The people in the ancestral hall looked at Lu Laoba's face and were all angry, and they all looked at Xiucai Gong and waited for him to speak.

When Lu Chengding heard Lu Laoba's words, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Grandpa, everyone, what happened in Niutouzhai today was caused by Uncle Eight. He not only betrayed our family for a few ginseng trees, but also deceived Wanxing to Niutou Village in order to survive, in fact, he wanted to give it to the owner of the village to make a small child. Uncle Ben was also dragged by him and fell into the hands of the group of thieves in Niutouzhai. What should you do with the person who betrayed his family and betrayed his people? I beat him, and I confessed to the following crimes, but today the ancestral hall must seek justice for Wanxing and Uncle Ben. ”

The three Lu Jiangshan brothers, who had been standing in the corner, heard Lu Chengding's words. Pulling through the crowd and squeezing to the front, he asked, "Cheng Ding, what you said is true?" He deceived my evening star to the mountain king of Niutouzhai to be small? ”

Lu Chengding nodded.

Lu Laoba immediately smiled and said: "Big brother, it's nothing, Wanxing was fine when we left, saying that he was accepted as a maid, and he didn't suffer at all." ”

As he said this, he received a punch from Lu Jiangshan in the face. Lu Jiangshan scolded:

"You bastard, your own girls can hit this dirty idea. If there are three long and two short in my family, I will kill you. ”

Lu Jiangshan said as he pulled Lu Laoba's collar and kicked it several times.

People pulled them apart with all their hands, and Lu Lao Ba jumped Lao Gao pulled his neck and shouted: "Don't pretend to be people in front of everyone, your family also got eight acres of land, and eight acres of land for a girl, as if your family suffered a loss." ”

"Say it again, Lu Laoba, I have to kill you bastard today." Lu Jiangshan rushed up again, and his two younger brothers hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

"Big brother, big brother, don't be impulsive."

"Cheng Ding, tell me quickly, how is Wuya now?"

Lu Chengding stood in the middle of the two groups of them and said, "When we left, Wanxing was taken in by a leader of Niutouzhai as a maid, and she personally asked me to tell you that she was fine. ”

Lu Laoba was reasonable, and he jumped to his feet and made a noise, "Boss, you heard it, if your five girls enjoy Qingfu in the future, your whole family will be grateful to me." ”

Lu Jiangshan's fiery temper scolded him, "I'm grateful for a ball, you bastard, Wuya is okay is Wuya's life, if it weren't for you bastards, how could Wuya go to Niutou Mountain, you still say thank you, you are not afraid that the ancestors will push open the coffin board and come out to find you." ”

"Okay," Xiucai knocked heavily on the ground with his cane, "You guys are making noise here, and you still don't let your ancestors be at peace?" ”

He is very prestigious on Huaishupo on weekdays, and now he has temporarily replaced the patriarch, and when he spoke, Lu Jiangshan immediately closed his mouth and glanced at Lu Laoba fiercely.

Xiucai Gong said: "Let's not mention the matter of Wanxing and Jiang Ben for the time being, the four of you will also wait for Yu Nian to come back safely before making a decision, the top priority is how to save Yu Nian." Our Lu family can't do without him, don't you say? ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Xiucai Gong said: "There are two conditions for this Niutou Mountain, one is people, and the other is wealth. They fell in love with Lu Yuan, so naturally we can't hand people over. ”

Hearing this, Lu Jiangshan said angrily: "Uncle Xiucai, to be fair, Lu Yuan is the pearl of the Lu family, my family's five girls are straws, and if the five girls of Niutou Mountain can get on, she can't get on it, and this is still to save her own father." ”

Xiucai hurriedly knocked on the ground several times with his cane before saying, "Jiangshan, can you put down the matter of Wuya first." It's impossible to say whether Wuya is a blessing or a curse on the mountain, so we can't send the girl there, understand? ”

The three Lu Jiangshan brothers shook their heads in unison, "I don't understand." ”

Xiucai Gong also had no choice, and then said the second article: "I want five hundred taels of silver, Jiang Cheng, you have been in charge of the accounts of the ancestral hall all these years, whether there is so much silver on the account, you know best, you explain to everyone." ”

Lu Jiangcheng bowed to a circle of people, and said in a proper manner: "This spring, I bought two cows for ten taels, bought two litters of piglets for fifteen taels, and repaired the ancestral hall for five taels ......."

Xiucai Gong didn't want to listen to his running account, so he waved his hand and said, "How much is there in the account?" Just say it. ”

"There are three hundred and seventy or eighty taels."

"Huh? So much worse? Xiucai Gong stroked his beard and began to make trouble.

Lu Chengding hurriedly said with a red face on the side: "Grandpa, what kind of money are you calculating, let's hurry up and report to the official!" ”

"Report to the official, report to the official, what do you know?" Xiucai couldn't help but roar, "That Niutouzhai has been doing evil all these years, and the government has managed it?" When the time comes, we will report to the official, just to urge Yu Nian, you know? If it can be solved with money, it is not a problem. ”

Saying that, Xiucai Gong swept around the crowd and said: "I know that you all have a small treasury in your family, now is an extraordinary time, I hope you can help each other, the money is borrowed from the ancestral hall, and it will be returned with interest in the autumn." ”
