On a cold winter night, the cold wind has no chirps and insects, and the sound is more poignant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe old door of a thatched hut in the west of Beigou Village "squeaked" muffled, and the old yellow dog curled up in the grass nest in the courtyard looked up, whined twice and retracted his head.

The tall, thin black shadow with the burden on his back walked briskly out of the fence gate and glanced back. Today is the twenty-seventh, there is no moon, the stars in the sky are shivering and hiding in the clouds, the small courtyard of the hut is swallowed up by darkness, and the eyes are wide and can only distinguish the general outline. The black shadow clenched his fists hard, exhaled a breath of white air hatefully, and resolutely turned around and walked towards the mountain road out of the village.

"Wow!" The old yellow dog craned his neck and barked twice, wondering how his master could go out so late.

"Ahh A few crows came, and the black shadow paused, spat on the ground, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, it's so unlucky!"

In response to the sentence "The crow crows, the disaster is coming", another black shadow suddenly flashed on the mountain road, "Leather monkey, where are you going with the black light?" ”

The tall and thin black shadow was frightened, and his mouth was still neat, "Lao Tzu can go wherever he wants, can you control it!" ”

lit the torch with a fire fold, illuminating the fat man's angry face, "If others want to go out, Lao Tzu can't care, if you want to go out of the village, you can't!" Lao Tzu knows that you will definitely run tonight, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

"Phew! The thick skin doesn't know how to blush, and Hengkuan thinks he's a character! Who do you think you are, if you don't let Lao Tzu out of the village, Lao Tzu won't come out, Lao Tzu will leave tonight. As soon as the leather monkey shook off the burden on his body, he leaned over and rushed forward.

The fat man threw the torch, and suddenly stretched out a flat shoulder next to him, and hit the leather monkey's leg with the whirring wind, the leather monkey fell with a dog and gnawed, and wore thick clothes in winter, and it didn't hurt much when he carried it down, and the leather monkey rolled over to the side, holding the burden and running.

Zhao Liangxiu and Niu Xiuyao, who were lying in ambush next to them, rushed out and held down the shoulders of the leather monkey to tie him up. This movement startled the dogs of several nearby families to bark, and the old yellow dog of the leather monkey family suddenly burst out of the fence, bared his teeth and ran over, opening his mouth to bite Niu Xiuyao's leg. The fat man, who had been prepared for a long time, threw the torch on the ground, shook off the noose in his hand, put it around the dog's neck and tightened it, and then knocked the dog unconscious with a stick.

The skin monkey had red eyes, shook his arms and shouted, "What kind of ability is it to bully a four-legged beast if you have the ability to come at Lao Tzu!" ”

Several nearby families opened the door and came out with sticks to see the leather monkey that was suppressed, and understood that it was related to the stolen vegetables of the fat man's family, and the eyes of the leather monkey became very sharp.

Zhao Liangxiu shouted, "Let's go back to sleep, the monkey will be locked up first, and the bell will be interrogated tomorrow morning." ”

The fat man opened the fence door of the monkey's house, dragged the old yellow dog inside, untied the noose, looked up at the closed hut door, and turned to leave.

"Fat brother, amazing!" Niu Xiuyao patted the soil on his trouser leg, "Few people can compare to your dog's skills." ”

The fat man puffed up his chest proudly, "Although it is not as good as last Tuesday's brother's ability to kill a tiger with one punch, but this set of dogs' unique skills, I am the number one in our village." ”

The onlookers knocked on the crutches, "You kid still has a face!" Say, was my big black dog tricked by you? ”

The fat man's momentum suddenly disappeared, "Of course not, Fourth Grandpa, you should go back and rest on this cold day." ”

"It's not you who have ghosts, eight out of ten dogs lost in our village were taken away by you boys!" Old man Zhao said angrily, "It's a pity, my family eats less and can take care ......of the house."

Old man Zhao couldn't stop talking, the fat man lowered his head, Old Man Zhao's dog was indeed set by him, Zhao Zhongxuan's stuffy stick, and the wind of the monkey was released...... After they were caught, they secretly sold them to the city, and after exchanging money, the three of them bought a set of bows and arrows in the city.

At that time, the three of them were as good as one person, and the fat man turned his head to look at the leather monkey who was suppressed and did not speak, and his heart ached.

It's obviously a good brother who grew up with bare farts, how did he get to this point.

Early the next morning, ten bells rang to call a meeting of all the villagers. More than 200 people from 63 households in Beigou Village are successively gathered under the old locust trees in the village. Because there were too many people, the newly built village office could not accommodate so many people, so tables and chairs were set up under the locust tree as usual, and Zhao Lizheng sat down with the elders of each family and the fat man's grandmother, and the old people of each family were also helped out by their children, sitting on the bench and chatting and sighing in a low voice.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen such a scene for more than ten years, right?"

"Isn't it? What was it for last time? ”

"For the sake of recruitment, the third sister-in-law is really old and confused, it's only been a few years!"

"Thirteen years, my sixth child will be thirteen years away!"

“……”

Zhao Li was knocking on the table in front of him, and after everyone quieted down, he said loudly, "Today's gathering of everyone is for the destruction of the fat man's greenhouse and the theft of vegetables, this matter is very bad, very bad!" The imperial court sent people down to say, and I also told everyone many times that they must not wantonly destroy farmland and destroy crops, otherwise they must be severely punished, ranging from fines and canes to imprisonment and exile ......at worst."

Farming is the foundation of the country, and the Great Zhou attaches great importance to agricultural affairs, encourages farming and land reclamation, and imposes severe penalties on the destruction of farmland and crops. Not to mention destruction, even if the fields are barren due to industrious farming, they will be punished. The villagers are simple and will not steal the crops grown in other people's fields, even the vegetables grown in other people's vegetable gardens, and they will ask for them openly when they want to eat them, and they will not pick them privately. Of course, there are also peasant women who are lazy and lazy, who do not grow vegetables and go to other people's fields to pick vegetables and eat from the branch, but they only pick the uncle's family's family, which can be regarded as their own vegetables. For example, when the daughter-in-law Zhang has no vegetables to eat on Thursday, she will make a fortune on Tuesday or Lan Yi will pick two cucumbers or pull a few green onions in the vegetable garden planted on the hillside, although it is annoying, it is not a big deal.

“...... Giving up the blood to deduct the greenhouse, getting up early and bending over to work in the dark is just to be able to sell a few more money to live a good life, you ask a few families who deduct the greenhouse, which day have slept a good night! Seeing that the vegetable seedlings grew up, they could finally see the money back, but they were stolen. If the thieves stole two vegetables to try them, they stole hundreds of catties of vegetables, and tore the insulated oilcloth, ripped off the insulated grass grid, and let the remaining vegetables freeze to death! The thief's mind is terrifying and angry! Zhao Li was heartbroken, everyone was indignant, and the fat man's grandmother was in tears.

Zhao Lizheng saw that the fire was almost over, and waved his hand to escort the leather monkey out and kneel under the big locust tree. Lan Yi saw that the clothes on his body were stained with mud, but his face was clean, not like he had been beaten, but he was detained all night, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were panicked that could not be hidden.

"The thief who stole the vegetables is the skin monkey, Zhou Jiqing and Hongbo of Xishili Village, Zhou Jiqing and Hongbo were arrested in the county seat yesterday, and the skin monkey escaped and was caught today. The leather monkey is the mastermind of this matter, and the tarpaulin in the greenhouse is what he cut! Zhao Lizheng had already interrogated the monkey last night and asked what happened, "Although he is also from our village, this matter is bad and will not be tolerated, and he will be escorted to the yamen later, and the magistrate will have the final say on whether he should be beaten or punished." ”

"Lizheng, yesterday my mother had already made the decision to divide the family between the two brothers, and the leather monkey was fined silver for stealing things, but it has nothing to do with us." The sister-in-law of the leather monkey stepped forward separately from the crowd, for fear that the matter of the fine would fall on her family, "This is the family separation list, it is clearly written on it, and the patriarch has also signed it." ”

Zhao Lizheng glared at her, turned his head to look at Old Man Zhou, the monkey's surname was Zhou, and he was also from Zhou Weiji's family. Old Man Zhou nodded, his face was very ugly, and he glared at her to retreat. The sister-in-law of the leather monkey pursed her lips, and wanted to distinguish a few words, but was pulled back by her man, glared and whispered, "Dead old lady, say one more word to see if I don't tear your mouth!" The family is the patriarch of the mother's house, and the real evidence is here, what are you shouting. Didn't Uncle Li Zheng say it just now, this matter is very bad, how to punish it is up to the magistrate to have the final say, the magistrate is the lord of the blue sky, and he can't tell the difference between right and wrong. ”

"Yes, yes, or let's make it clear, that's what it's all about." The skin-monkey's sister-in-law whispered and saw that Li Zheng, the patriarch, and the black-faced Zhou Weiji next to him did not refute it, so she nodded again and again, and shrank behind her man with confidence.

Behind the crowd, Zhou Jiqing's mother-in-law, Liu, also hooked her waist and buried her head, eager to hide herself in the soil. (To be continued.) )
