Chapter 519: Settle the Score
"Mr. Lu, our well water does not interfere with river water, what are you going to do when you break into my house?"
Lu Ning sneered and said.
"Zhao Facai, don't pretend to be confused, you sent your subordinates to hurt my uncle and aunt, this account should be settled."
Seeing that his thugs had become decorations, Zhao Facai had no arrogant capital, and said tremblingly.
"Mr. Lu, please sit down, you guys, don't hurry up and serve tea, I really don't talk about etiquette at all, how do I usually educate you!"
These subordinates were already frightened, and they went out and poured tea for Lu Ning.
Lu Ning didn't look at it and said.
"You don't need to play any crooked ways, you asked me to pay three thousand taels of silver to buy your family property, and I got my silver, what about your house deed? You marked my family, how should this account be calculated? ”
Zhao Facai said with a smiling face tremblingly.
"I have already asked the bookkeeper to write the contract, and I will sign it as soon as the contract is written, you can taste the pastries at my house first, and then take a sip of tea, this is easy to say."
At this time, the tenants who broke in with him reminded Lu Ning.
"This bastard has the most ideas, be careful that he goes to the county office behind his back to find someone, we are in danger!"
Another guy immediately reminded him.
"Their thug Li Lao Wu is gone, shouldn't he go to the county government to report to the official."
Lu Ning snorted and said.
"The official reported to him, they were unreasonable first, and they injured our people, even if they went to the county office, they should be reasonable."
He didn't speak, carefully identified the taste of the tea leaves, and found that there was no movement in it, so he drank the tea by himself.
After an hour, he suddenly found two officials dressed in soap-colored clothes, holding locks and putting them around his neck.
"The bold Diao people dare to trespass into private houses and oppress the gentry, if you have anything to say now, follow me immediately."
Lu Ning's head flashed sideways, and he said disdainfully: "Are you really going to do this?" ”
The official sneered and said, "Follow me!" ”
Just as he was about to pull, the flying needle in Lu Ning's hand was immediately thrown out, and the two servants were sore, and they collapsed to the ground.
Lu Ning sneered and said.
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, where there are officials and businessmen who collude to frame good people, the common people have the right to drag them to the capital to sue the emperor, and the officials along the way must not make it difficult to stop them, who will come up for me and catch this local tyrant and inferior gentry?"
One of these tenants was named Wang Huzi, who was framed by Zhao Facai for setting up a gambling game a few years ago, causing him to owe usury, so he had to sell his wife to Zhao Facai for a period of three years.
When the time came, he didn't ask people to redeem himself, and now he is still angry at Zhao Facai's house.
He stepped forward, kicked him in the stomach, and slapped him several times.
"You bastard, you framed my family, today Lao Tzu will seek revenge on you, I don't care if you have official power or not, I will beat you today!"
At this time, Zhao Facai's wife Niu Cuihua ran out and pointed at these people and scolded.
"You mud-legged people, don't you want to rebel, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder when you toss like this?"
Before the words fell, he was slapped in the face twice by several other shopkeepers.
At this time, the two men were trapped with hemp rope, and the tenant took his wife out of the back hall.
He forced Zhao Facai to pawn the deed, but the other party was reluctant to take it out, and after being kicked twice, he could be regarded as obedient, so he had to aggrieved and aggrieved to give someone else's deed of sale.
"Mr. Lu, what should I do next?"
Lu Ning sneered and said.
"Zhao Facai, do you want to go to the officials and go to the capital with them to sue the emperor, or do you sign this contract?"
Zhao Facai thought about it carefully, today's emperor hates corrupt officials the most, and the county officials next door were once corrupt, so they were tied up by the common people and stripped of their skins.
Once he was considered an accomplice of a corrupt official, he was afraid that he would have to be tied up, so he had no choice but to beg Lu Ning in a low voice.
"Mr. Lu, my family's property is sold to you, including several pawnshops in the town and county, even if it is three thousand miles in total, I beg you, this matter will be pulled down."
Lu Ning looked at the two officials next to him and said.
"Two poor masters, are you helping Zhao Facai come over to find a venue, or are you here to supervise the implementation of the contract?"
The two guys rolled their eyes and thought to themselves.
"If you really want to arrest Lu Ning, you will be convicted of being instructed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to harm the people, not only will the county master have no good fruit to eat, but even our brothers and sisters will not be able to escape."
So, he said with a smile.
"How can we be, we are under the order of the county magistrate to supervise the implementation of this contract for the sale of land and property. What happened just now was a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart. ”
Lu Ning thought to himself, if it weren't for my fists being hard enough and understanding the law of Da Ming enough, the ghost would believe that this was a misunderstanding.
He just wanted to get the land smoothly, so he didn't care.
The bookkeeper acted as a guarantor and wrote a contract, and both parties pressed their fingerprints, and naturally the money and goods were cleared.
Lu Ning gave all the incriminating evidence of Zhao Facai collected to the two officials and said.
"The two poor masters, this Zhao Facai is rampant and domineering, and he has done a lot of evil, which has aroused public anger, which led to the occurrence of today's incident, I hope the two poor masters will play truthfully."
These two people were also forced into a dead corner, picked up the lock, locked Zhao Facai and his wife to go to the county government for questioning.
At the same time, they asked Lu Ning to testify, and the matter was resolved quite smoothly.
Now under the pressure of the common people, he reluctantly announced that he would beat this inferior gentleman Zhao Facai to the forty boards, and asked them to compensate the old Wang and his wife for their medical expenses.
The couple was disgraced and couldn't get along in the village, so they had no choice but to pack up their gold and silver and run away overnight.
