Chapter 125: The Inside Story
Mrs. Liu immediately got up, stopped crying, ran forward, and was about to pull Zhao Fengnian's sleeve, but Zhao Fengnian took a step back to dodge, Zhang Dahe was on the side, and pushed her aside again.
Mrs. Liu's subordinates were empty, so she shouted, "Why go to the mansion, this is my Liu family's mansion, there is no heavenly reason, you robbed the mansion, and you want to frame our family to go to prison..."
Her two sons also stepped forward and stretched out their hands to push Zhao Fengnian, Zhao Fengnian was not in good health, no one in Yunjia Village knew about it, they really let them push it, they were injured or committed old diseases, and the Zhao family moved away in a rage, wouldn't it be a chicken and a flying egg. All the villagers and helpers, as well as the clan elder and Li Zheng, rushed forward to stop them, and Li Zheng shouted one after another, "Quickly tie them up with a rope, they actually ran to Yunjia Village to beat people, and ate the courage of the ambitious leopard." ”
Mrs. Liu's mother and son didn't expect that the people of Yunjia Village would protect the Zhao family so much, a stunned kung fu, the two sons had been tied up, and when Zhang Dahe was about to reach out and tie Mrs. Liu again, she had already knelt down in front of Zhao Fengnian, changed her strategy, and began to cry and beg, "Mr. Zhao, my wife is young and widowed, and she can't even eat with her two sons, so she expects this yard to be sold and marry a daughter-in-law to her son, Mr. Zhao is magnanimous, and rewards the wife with ten taels of silver, and my wife will give you the yard here, Mr. Zhao, your family has a big business, Let me give my wife a way to live..."
Zhao Fengnian was about to speak, when he felt that the clothes behind him were tight, he thought that Rui Xue was soft-hearted, turned his head slightly, and whispered, "Don't be soft-hearted." ”
Rui Xue leaned into his ear and whispered two words, Zhao Fengnian listened, and saw a smile in his eyes, and when he turned around, his face was still flat and cold, and he commanded Qian Heitan in a loud voice, "Set the carriage and go to the city to go to the government." ”
Qian Heitan responded loudly, originally the carriage went into the city in the morning to buy, and when he came back, he unloaded it outside the courtyard, which was very convenient to put on, and he was ready in just three or two clicks.
Li Zheng saw that Zhao Fengnian had made up his mind to go to the lawsuit, and in desperation, he also called a nephew of his family to his house to get the house deed, Zhang Dahe and others were about to go out after taking the Han brothers, Mrs. Liu was really panicked now, jumping to her feet and shouting, "This is not my yard, I am here to visit the door, my wife is crazy, full of nonsense..."
"Since you know that it is not your yard, and you still come to ask for silver, it is blackmail, then you have to go to the government and say."
Zhao Fengnian didn't give in at all, Mrs. Liu was almost in a hurry, and wanted to say something more, but she had been dragged out of the yard, and Li was sitting with Zhao Fengnian, and Mrs. Liu's mother and son were crowded in the back of the car, Zhang Dahe and Qian Heitan sat on the wheel, and the horsewhip flicked out of the village.
Everyone was shocked and stunned for a long time, they didn't know why the Zhao family insisted on going to the government to fight a lawsuit, you must know that the yamen is a ghost gate, and once you go in, whether you are justified or not, you will have to pay dozens of taels of silver up and down, so it is better to give Mrs. Liu ten taels of silver.
There was someone who was familiar with Ruixue on weekdays, so he stepped forward and persuaded, "Zhao Niangzi, why don't you stop Mr., that mansion is not easy to enter." ”
Second Aunt Yun also felt that she was only happy just now, she was afraid that she had caused trouble for the Zhao family, and said with some trepidation, "Then Mrs. Liu's two sons steal chickens and dogs on weekdays, and they don't live in peace, what if..."
Rui Xue chuckled and comforted them, "Mr. has his own ideas, which can be stopped by a woman like me." Besides, there is still Wang Fa in this martial country, and if anyone doesn't open their eyes to make trouble, the government prison won't mind accepting two more people. After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the sun, and said with a smile, "This delay, when the meal is over, the second aunt and a few sisters-in-law, hurry up and help set the table for dinner, everyone must be hungry." ”
When Aunt Yun heard this, she guessed that their husband and wife must have a plan in their hearts, so they took people and busily opened the meal. Everyone gathered together to go to the courtyard of the Zhang family, and the clan elders were also left to sit at a table, and the big steamed buns of the white fat man came up, accompanied by fragrant tofu bone broth, which immediately captured everyone's mouth and nose, and each threw off their cheeks and chewed, shouting delicious one after another, where do you remember whether Mrs. Liu's mother and son are dead or alive?
The fragrance in the yard attracted a few children who had eaten at home, lying at the door and looking, Rui Xue saw that there were still noodles and stuffing left in the pottery pot, so she took everyone to quickly wrap another pot, divided the children into two, even the sister-in-law Qian and Lei Zi's daughter-in-law, they also let people send a plate, and a few busy little daughters-in-law saw it in their eyes, and added three points of envy.
Not to mention the family dinner, how lively, just to say, Zhao Fengnian and a few people sat in a carriage, all the way out of the village seven or eight miles, just before a fork in the road, go straight is to the official road into the city, turn the hill is Jianshanzuizi, the mother-in-law of the Liu family looked at the carriage from the window is really going to the official road, her face was frightened and gray, and she gave her two sons a look.
The two brothers of the Han family asked themselves that they were in the village on weekdays, and when they were greedy, they would catch a chicken and goose, and they would kick their feet when they saw that they were not pleasing to the eye, which was also majestic, not to mention the eldest of the day, their second child, at least no one dared to provoke, so, as soon as the old lady said that he was going to blackmail the silver, the two of them went without saying a word, how could they have thought that this time they actually kicked the iron plate, and the Zhao family could spend a hundred and ten taels of silver to send them to prison, and they were not willing to give them ten taels of silver, the two saw the old lady make eyes, they were completely scared, and begged loudly, "Uncle Lizheng, Mr. Zhao, Our brother has a black heart, and he has no silver in his hand for a while, so he has a crooked mind, thinking of blackmailing some money to marry a daughter-in-law, we will never dare to do it in the future, please Mr. and Uncle Lizheng, let us go! ”
"Yes, yes, we will never enter Yunjia Village in the future, and ask Uncle Li Zheng to intercede for us." Mrs. Liu and the second child also begged for mercy one after another.
In the end, he lived next to Jianshanzuizi, it was too stiff, and his feelings were a little unbearable, so Li Zheng wanted to help persuade him.
Zhao Fengnian said lightly, "You are shouting and begging for mercy in your mouth, but you still refuse to say it without telling your heart, is this what it looks like to beg for mercy?" ”
Li Zheng immediately shut up, if he just wanted to give his son a share of the dowry money, it would be nothing for him to help intercede, but if it involved such a reason as the instigation behind the scenes, he would never say much.
When the mother and son of the Liu family heard that Zhao Fengnian finally answered, their faces showed surprise, and they scrambled to say, "We didn't hide it from Mr., we really want a dowry silver!" ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled coldly, "No one instructed you, how do you know that our Zhao family is building a house, how do you know that our family is rich?" ”
The mother and son glanced at each other, Mrs. Liu has lived for decades, and she has accumulated three points of experience in handling things, thinking of the origin of this matter, she immediately slapped her on the thigh, "We are in charge of Zhao Laoer!" ”
The Han brothers don't understand, but Li Zheng and Zhao Fengnian know it. Mrs. Liu said angrily, "I said that Chen Laosan is stingy on weekdays, and he can't wait to get out of the water for a penny, how can he still buy wine and meat, and invite our family to have a banquet, it turned out to be a bridge for Zhao Laoer, that is, Zhao Laoer said that my fourth uncle's yard was occupied by Mr., and said that Mr.'s family is rich and easy to bully, and it is very easy to ask for a hundred and ten taels of silver, so our mother and son came to the door." ”
Zhao Fengnian's lowered eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness very quickly, but his face was still plain and unwavering, with a clear look, "I do have a bit of a holiday with Zhao Laoer." ”
The brothers of the Han family immediately became furious and scolded, "Zhao Laoer, this dog @ mother, take our brother as a fool, see if I don't discount his legs!" ”
Li Zheng also said, "This Zhao Lao Er is too hateful, he shouldn't be soft-hearted that day, if he is driven out of the village, there will be no today." ”
Mrs. Liu also scolded, swore that their family had no grudges against Zhao Fengnian, they were all provoked by bad people, and finally knelt in the middle of the carriage pitifully, begging, "Mr. Zhao, there are a lot of adults, this matter, our family is also instructed by others, and we are obsessed with money, so Mr. will let us orphans and widows go, and the old woman will definitely be a cow and a horse, and repay Mr." ”
Zhao Fengnian frowned and thought about it, instructed Zhang Dahe to stop and open the door, and then helped Mrs. Liu to get up, and said, "Today, you are also deceived by others, so I won't take you to the government, but if you dare to offend our Zhao family again in the future, it will not be so easy to get out." ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xie is magnanimous!"
"Mr. Xie, a lot!"
Mrs. Liu's mother and son were overjoyed, and thanked them one after another, Qian Heitan stepped forward to untie the ropes on their bodies, and the three of them immediately jumped out of the carriage, and their hands and feet were tied for a long time.
Li Zheng frowned and said angrily, "Mr. Zhao, let's go back to the village immediately, Zhao Lao Er is really hateful, open the ancestral hall and drive his family out!" ”
Zhao Fengnian shook his head, "At the beginning, the matter of the Wu family, our husband and wife occasionally think of it and feel uneasy, if we drive Zhao Lao's family out again, even if the world knows that the two of them are at fault, it will inevitably criticize our Yunjia Village for not being harmonious." Besides, today's incident, the family just poured two piles of bricks and stones, and there was no big loss, and the clan elders went to reprimand them, and it was just that. ”
In a year, two families were driven out of the village, and it was really not good to spread the word, but Li Zheng was the supreme ruler of a village, and he could not be unfair, he was naturally conflicted in his heart, at this time, he heard Zhao Fengnian so deeply aware of the righteousness, and praised again and again with gratitude, "Mr. is really magnanimous, everything is for the sake of Yunjia Village, old man, I am here to thank Mr. for the righteousness of all the villagers." ”
"Uncle Li Zheng is polite, our Zhao family is at the foot of Yunjia Village, so naturally we have to think about Yunjia Village." Zhao Fengnian politely said a few words, lifted the curtain and looked at it twice, and said, "There are still ten miles to the city gate, since I have come out, I will bother Uncle Lizheng to follow me into the city, and get the deed on file, and it will be easy to talk about this matter in the future." In addition, this yard is owned by the village, and our husband and wife live now, and it is not good to take advantage of the village in vain, so we will take advantage of the fact that the craftsmen are there, and then pay ten taels of silver to repair and renovate the ancestral hall, which is a little bit of our husband and wife's heart. ”
