Chapter 12: The House Fight Begins

Zhang Lu fled, and then used all his strength to put the last sentence - one must explain that this is a misunderstanding, and the other is to ask who the big man is, famous or unknown?

That is one of the five generals with a different surname in Cao Ying in the future, who is called a brother and sister to Guan Erye, and finally defeated Guan Yu directly in Jiangling or Fancheng somewhere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If you talk about the value of force, it is estimated that even if you are a little far from Guan Yu, the difference is not too much, and you can go several rounds under him, and finally escape...... Lao Tzu is still very remarkable, although he is defeated, he is still glorious.

However, today is a foot battle, if you really bump into it on the battlefield, Xu Gongming has a spear and a halberd in his hand, and he will ride a good horse under his crotch, and it is estimated that he will lose more...... And you may not be able to escape!

Thinking of this, my head was full of cold sweat, and I didn't dare to stop at all. Xu Huang also asked, "Who are you", Zhang Lu didn't dare to turn back to explain, and if he wanted to open his mouth again, it was estimated that the distance was too far, even if he signed up Xu Huang, he couldn't hear it. Forget it, if we can meet again, it's not too late to sign up at that time, if there is no post-meeting...... Who do you care who I am?

Since he ran away, he simply crossed the forest and crossed the ridge, and walked all the way to the east, bumping into a pedestrian on the road, whether it was good or bad, he went up to make a fool first, and planned to ask about the direction and road. The man was surprised when he saw a man suddenly popping out of the forest, and instinctively pulled out the saber at his waist. Zhang Lu was in a bad mood - he was going to save people, but he was wronged, who would be happy - without saying a word, without waiting for the other party to completely pull out the knife, as soon as his leg was raised, he kicked his chest to the ground, and then the cloth shoes were kicked on his face. The man said miserably: "You have to take the money for yourself, don't kill me!" Zhang Lu didn't talk nonsense with him, but only asked: "Where is Mi County going? How to get there?"

After asking about the road, after walking for most of the day, the surrounding scenery gradually became familiar - in fact, he has been home for many years, and the surrounding areas of Mi County have been warn, and the fields are no longer what they used to be, but the basic mountains and roads are always the same. With his footsteps, he soon found Zhangjiawu in the west of the county.

To say that the Zhang family in Mi County is also one of the largest families in the local area. Zhang Lu's father Zhang De has been a county guard, and it is impossible for these 2,000 stone officials to have no foundation, and even if they are promoted in an instant due to fate, they will inevitably be blessed by the Ze family, and it is impossible for the Zhang family to think about it without scenery. Of course, the Zhang family in Mixian County is definitely not comparable to the wealthy families such as the Yingchuan Xun family and the Runan Yuan family, but it is not the kind of small landowner who only has a few hundred acres of land.

Especially after Zhang De became the Taishou, although he was still honest as an official, the Zhang family took advantage of his position and popularity to quickly bring all the three or four villages in the west of Mi County under his rule, annexed more than 10,000 acres of land, and then built a wall of earth and built the ancestral home into a dock fort. In the troubled times, there were many large and small dock forts in the local area, on the one hand, to protect the clansmen from being attacked by soldiers, and at the same time to suppress the resistance of tenants and slaves. Zhang Lu traveled all the way, arrived at the dock fort, and before he called the door, suddenly two dock soldiers jumped out of nowhere, holding spears in their hands, and asked him: "Where did the guest come from?"

The two Wuding saw that the guy in front of him was dressed very strangely, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Zhang Lu hadn't had time to change into Lang Guan's clothes, and he was still wearing the same clothes as when he was cultivating on the mountain. He discussed this dress with Pei Xuanren, and Pei Xuanren went down the mountain to ask someone to make it, at first glance, it looked no different from the dress of ordinary scholars, but it was different after a closer look. It is mainly for the convenience of movement, and it is also in line with the habits before the crossing, so the sleeves are relatively narrow; the second is that the lower garment is relatively short, only to the calf, and it cannot cover the ankles, and the left and right sides are secretly opened; the third is that there are pants in the bottom, or crotch pants, not the common open crotch pants in this year.

At a glance, the man was dressed a little strangely, but although it was not silky or silky, it was always fine linen - ordinary people could not afford to wear fine linen - and he had a sword under his waist. If you are a flat-headed citizen, you must come up and press it first and then ask, where are you from, why are you spying on my dock fort? Is it the eyeliner of the bandits? Since this seems to be a bit of an identity, it is better not to be reckless, and ask about the origin first.

When Zhang Lu heard this, he smiled faintly and pointed to his nose: "I am not a guest." My father is Zhang Bozhi, and I am Zhang Lu. ”

The Zhang family has produced such a high-ranking official as Zhang De for hundreds of years, so Zhang Lu and the clan are the little young masters, everyone really knows it, and everyone knows it. Problem: When he left home, there was only a little hairy on his lips, but now that his beard has grown roughly full, his appearance has naturally changed; second, these people who are at the bottom of the dock and serve as ordinary guards and patrols are generally not from the Zhang family......

Therefore, when the two dockmen heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and after looking at each other, they respectfully asked Zhang Lu - will you untie the sword and hand it to us first? Zhang Lu didn't think it was wrong, and immediately unsheathed the sword, so one of the dockmen took his sword into the dock to report, and the other person still held a spear and escorted Zhang Lu into the dock.

After entering the dock fort, not far away, a fat old man came over with a cane and panting three steps. Zhang Lu recognized that this was the ancestor of the family, the temporary patriarch, surnamed Zhang Mingwu and the word Kaida, and immediately bowed deeply - he should have been the chief of the house, but he was really not used to the etiquette and habit of kneeling when he saw people at every turn in these years......

Zhang Wu stared at his face for a long time, and then suddenly smiled: "It's Lu'er!" While ordering all the relatives to come out, he asked Zhang Lu: "There was a great chaos in the previous year, and I also sent people to investigate, Du Yunru has been killed by the rebels, how can you return today?"

Zhang Lu replied honestly, saying that I was taken to the mountain by the immortals to cultivate the immortal road, and this time I was ordered by the master to go down the mountain to do errands, so I went home first to have a look.

Zhang Wu was a little unhappy: "The immortal road is ethereal, what is the purpose of cultivation?" My old Zhang family will produce your father's one who is a big official, and I hope that you will inherit your father's career, and also go to get a thousand stones, two thousand stones, glorify the ancestors, and also protect the lintel of the Zhang family, how can you run backwards to cultivate what immortal road? Even if you become an immortal, what good will it do to the family, can you really be like Liu An, the king of Huainan, can't the chicken dog ascend to heaven?

Zhang Luxin couldn't explain what he said a sentence or two, so he simply twisted his eyebrows and put on a helpless face: "Immortals Yunwu have immortal fate, and they should be apprentices - immortals have lives, who dares to disobey? If they are angry, I am afraid that all the people will be turned into powder!"

When Zhang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, but he was a little suspicious -- there are really immortals who have taken a fancy to you? Immortals are really so temperamental? Aren't you deceived by some demon?

So he led Zhang Lu to the main hall, the time was not big, the seven aunts and eight aunts ...... No, it should be the seven uncles and eight uncles, so they all rushed over. To say that the Zhang family is not very large, but the seventh and eighth generations live here, and there are about 20 large and small sects and branches of the main lineage, and there are 60 or 70 men. Most of them, Zhang Lu still has his memory, and he salutes one by one - of course, he doesn't kneel, at most he bows for a long time.

A young man rushed straight to Zhang Lu, bowed his head, and had a lot of tears and snot: "Brother is still here, and my brother is overjoyed." ”

Zhang Lu recognized that this was the younger brother born to his mother, whose surname was Zhang...... When Zhang Lu left home, Zhang Zhi was not yet an adult, so he hadn't taken a word yet, but now looking at his dress, he should have done the crown salute and is considered an adult.

Hurriedly supported him with both hands, and pulled his rank up: "I am returning home today, it is a happy event, why are you crying?"

The relatives were making a lot of noise for a long time, all of which were superficial articles, and Zhang Lu patiently dealt with them. Finally, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Zhi led Zhang Lu to the side courtyard where he lived. As Zhang Lu walked, he felt that something was wrong and asked Zhang Zhi: "Why don't you live in the ancestral house?"

Zhang De and Zhang Lu are actually not the main sects of the Zhang family - although they are not far away - but Zhang De has not been able to become a taishou yet, and he has just raised filial piety, so he honestly and unceremoniously occupies the main house left by the ancestors. Although this ancestral house is not very large and in disrepair, it is a symbol of status after all, and it is still very close to the ancestral hall - theoretically speaking, if Zhang De dies a few years later, or Zhang Lu can also be an official, it is likely that the small sect will succeed the big sect and snatch the position of the patriarch.

But now Zhang Zhi is leading Zhang Lu to run to the side courtyard, not to mention the ancestral house, where he lives is not even a complete house, and he can be regarded as sharing with other families. Zhang Lu immediately sank his face and asked Zhang Zhi: "Who drove you here?"

Zhang Zhi said that no one drove me, it was a public discussion within the clan, saying that my family was already sparse, my father died again, brother, you went to Luoyang as a lang, and it was not suitable for me and my mother to live in such a big house, so I arranged to be here. Zhang Lu entered the courtyard, looked left and right, and estimated that there were only four or five small houses—including toilets, maybe kitchens, and there was nothing left. He asked Zhang Zhi: "Where is my mother?"

Zhang Lu and Zhang Zhi's mother-in-law died earlier than his father, and Zhang Zhi was raised by his mother-in-law since he was a child - the so-called mother-in-law is Zhang Dena's concubine, who is also a local, and her maiden name is Zeng. Zhang Luxin said that I rushed back from afar, why didn't I see the Zeng family come out to greet me? Theoretically, I am the real head of the family, even if you don't leave the hospital to greet you, you should always wait with the courtyard - when you are still at home, I have a good relationship with you.

Zhang Zhi arched his hand, his expression was a little panicked: "Mother-in-law...... Remarried......"

Through Zhang Zhi's explanation and narration, Zhang Lu understood what had changed in the past few years. It turned out that Zhang Zhi was the crown ceremony just held last year, taking the word Zhongping, not long before that, he and the Zeng family had passed the "clan public discussion" and rushed to live in this side courtyard. Immediately, someone brought it up, saying that since Zhongping is already an adult, it is not very suitable to live with his mother, you must know that the Zeng family is only in his early thirties this year, and he is a young mother and a strong son, and he is afraid that there will be something to discuss when he lives together. Besides, since Zhang Zhi is an adult, he should choose a daughter-in-law for him, and when the three of them live in this courtyard together, it will also be a little crowded......

When Zhang Lu heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Fuck you, if you don't drive the second child here and still live in the ancestral house, how can you be too small?!"

So in the end, it was a "public discussion in the clan" and it was decided to allow the Zeng family to remarry - anyway, there are still many men in the Zhang family who have not begged their daughters-in-law, or have broken the strings, and the resources are always not good to be shelved for a long time, otherwise it will be a waste.

Zhang Lu sneered: "Is it not to remarry the Dong clan?"

The so-called "Dong Clan" refers to Zhang De's second uncle and his family, because they have lived in the east of the ancestral hall for a long time, they are commonly known as the "Dong Clan". Zhang De's second uncle, that is, Zhang Lu's maternal uncle, has already hung up, and the four sons born to Zhang Lu have to be called uncles, and these four sons have a total of six boys......

Zhang Zhi nodded and replied, "Continuing with the second brother." ”

Starting from Zhang De's grandfather and Zhang Lu's great-grandfather, there are eight men in Zhang Lu's generation - those who died early are not counted - in terms of ranking, Zhang Lu is five, Zhang rank is the end, the so-called "second brother" is the second grandson of Zhang Lu's uncle, surnamed Zhang Mingfu and thick characters. Zhang Lu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "I saw the eyes of the middle father......

He has been cultivating for several years, and now his senses are very keen, don't look at the so many people in the hall just now, there was a lot of noise, everyone's expressions were clearly imprinted in their minds. Some were surprised, some were delighted, needless to say, and some of them had a little cringe on their faces. For example, the "middle father" he said, that is, Zhang Hao, the second son of Zhang De's second uncle, Zhang Fu's father, and the current steward of the Dong clan, the mung bean's small eyes flashed and flashed, obviously not squinting, but he always turned to the side, and he didn't seem to dare to look at himself. Don't ask, there must be a ghost in this man's heart.

After asking carefully, it turned out that not only Zhang Hao, Zhang Fu and his son snatched their father's side room, leaving Zhang Zhi alone in the side courtyard, and even "managed" all the more than 400 acres of watering land under Zhang De's name. Therefore, Zhang Zhi now has no source of livelihood, just like an ordinary idler, relying on the clan to send some brown rice every month to survive. Zhang Lu stretched out his hand: "Is the deed still there?" Zhang Zhi replied with a bitter face: "It's also to beg for it." ”

Nominally, he was in charge of the land before Zhang Zhi got married and started a family, but in fact, he snatched the land deed, so may he have to get it back in the future?

The fire in Zhang Lu's heart jumped up at that time.

Zhang Zhi looked at the eldest brother's expression, and the poor little face became even more deflated, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "It's the younger brother who is incompetent and fails to abide by the ...... of his father's and brother's inheritance."

In fact, although Zhang Lu retains the memory of this life, after all, his soul comes from the afterlife, and he really has no feelings for Zhang Zhi's brother, and he thought about it well when he was originally on the mountain-I will let him die! But when he really met and heard this situation, he couldn't help but fill his chest with anger: This is too bullying! Even if Zhongping's child is not related to him, he has a reason, and he doesn't know it, but now that he knows that this is the case, how can he turn a deaf ear? You must know that even the ancestral house with the land is theoretically not his rank's, but his own! I am going to really die, or I will not go down the mountain for the rest of my life, and I will not go home again, but now that I have returned, how can I allow those little ones to act recklessly?

This is not for Zhang Zhi, but for Lao Tzu's face!

I think I've seen a lot of online house fighting articles in my previous life, how to deal with this situation, my heart is clear. I'm not a wanderer with no foundation and no backing, let's not mention the fairy road, I'm a Lang official after all, and I'm the lowest civil servant, and I must go sideways in the countryside. Don't say that it's my field for you to rob, even if it's your field, I say it's mine, who dares to say the word "no"? Thinking about that Zhang Fu, he can't recognize a basket of big characters, and it is impossible to be an official and a slaughterer in this life, can the clan help him to fight with me?

In the feudal family, what township covenants and clan rules are all false, and they have to rely on strength to speak, and this strength is determined by the position in the feudal system.

If Lao Tzu can't snatch back what should be me, add interest, and then hand it over to Zhang Zhi, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Zhang!

At that moment, he pulled Zhang Zhi with both hands and scolded: "Don't look like such a pus-filled face!" In anger, he even blurted out the "Gu Immortal Language". Zhang Zhi looked at his brother, as if he understood or not, Zhang Lu pointed to his nose and asked, "What do you think, who are we?"

Zhang Zhi said brother, you are naturally wise and martial, and you have the legacy of your father...... Zhang Lu glared, maybe he was a sycophant, you answered my question honestly-as far as you think, what kind of person am I? Zhang Zhi pouted: "Brother is benevolent and kind......"

Zhang Lu said don't talk nonsense-"Benevolence is not wise, and kindness must not be rigid...... "I used to be like you today, I was a litter, but now it is different from the past-"The world is in chaos, benevolence cannot live, and adultery is rich." I would rather be a traitor than seek justice for you!"
