Chapter 178: The Cow's Tongue Was Cut

Tang Lu is most worried about the destruction of the relationship, not the problem of the cow, it is the problem of the people, if the cow fights, it doesn't matter if one dies and one is injured, and if the person is sad, it will be troublesome.

There is also a cow that admits death, and a strong bull means that the most strong in the world is a cow.

Tang Lu said: "You have a good relationship, and if you destroy it, it will be very troublesome." It will be very difficult to repair, but the two of you are negligent for a while, too careless, too confident, let the cattle fight against each other, and do not pull the cattle away, however, the bull that is angry is difficult to fight, you are all responsible, if it is a loss, everyone has to share it to be fair and reasonable. This case is not called a case, and since it has been sued to the county government, it must also be given an explanation. Your friendship lasts forever, don't let a small thing be a big one. This official advises you to reconcile with your words, abandon your previous suspicions, and reconcile as before. ”

The two looked at each other, not knowing how to reply.

Tang Lu saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he wrote with a pen: "

The two oxen do not give in to each other,

dead or alive and wounded,

Live cattle plough two fields together,

Dead cattle share handy. ”

After Tang Lu finished writing, he said to the two: "This is the verdict." Do you two understand? If you don't know it, you can sue again, and the yamen will open to the south, and you will come in if you have a reason. Don't be unreasonable, go home and have a good time. ”

Sha Dong and Shi Xi listened to the verdict, felt that it was okay, it was fair and reasonable, so they thanked Tang Lu, the two of them were still small, and returned to the state before the cattle arrived at the horns before the complaint, went out of the court, and went back to divide the beef, everyone was very happy, during the spring ploughing, there was a beautiful beef to enjoy, and Shixi's cattle were a year old, and they couldn't fight anymore, only the life of being eaten.

This ox is the lifeblood of the peasants, and if there are no cattle in the countryside, people will suffer. The farm work is heavy, and without cattle, it is not possible at all.

Or Li Zhuang.

Shanan is a farmer in the village, and Shadong is a cousin. In the morning, he went to the cattle pen to lead the cow, to work in the field, and saw that the big yellow cow in the field actually vomited blood, and his mouth was full of blood, and the ground in the cattle pen was full of blood, and it seemed that the life of the big yellow cow was hanging by a thread, and it was very dangerous.

He took a closer look, the cow's tongue was cut off by a sharp knife, he was very distressed, his heart was like a knife, he cried and cried, tears flowed down his face, his voice changed, he choked up and found someone to write a complaint, and then he went to the county office, beat the drum to complain, and asked to solve the case and track down the murderer.

Tang Lu looked at the situation and thought, this is really rare, I have only heard that there are cattle thieves, I have never seen the cattle stolen, and as long as the thief of the cow's tongue is really rare in the world, this thief may like to eat the cow's tongue, but this is also too lacking in morality, the cow has no tongue, it will bleed to death, and the loss is also very large, this is worse than stealing the whole cow, the key is that the psychology is unhealthy, it is perverted, a good and strong cow, without a tongue, it is very painful, and then let the cow die slowly, such a person is very hateful, it is a tumor in society, it must be removed, Otherwise, society will get sick. Eventually, they will die.

Tang Lu had a brilliant mind and immediately thought of a way.

So, he said to Shanan: "It seems that this sturdy big yellow cow will not survive, and will die soon, rather than this, it is better to slaughter it as soon as possible, sell the beef as soon as possible, and the county government will support you with a little more money, and after you take the money, go and buy another cow, because now is a good time to use the ox to work in the field, and if you miss the good season, it will affect the income of the year." Hurry up, come here, and give Shanan ten taels of silver. ”

Shanan wiped his tears, touched his ears again, almost didn't believe what he saw and heard, since ancient times, complaints have been made with silver, but I didn't expect that now the complaint will not use silver, but will get silver, what's going on?

Suspicion is suspicion, and it is indeed interesting that someone has obtained a heavy amount of silver.

Shanan went back to deal with his big scalper.

Then, Tang Lu immediately ordered Zhang Bang to announce an announcement:

All residents within the jurisdiction of the county pay attention, in order to ensure the normal and orderly production of spring ploughing, especially remind to protect the cattle, ploughing cattle are very important, spring affects the harvest of the year, ploughing cattle is an important part of spring ploughing, an indispensable part, during the spring ploughing, it is strictly forbidden to slaughter ploughing cattle privately, because the role of ploughing cattle during spring ploughing can not be ignored, and slaughtering ploughing cattle privately is a serious violation. If there is a ploughing cattle sick, it is necessary to ask the cattle doctor to diagnose and treat the diseased cattle, and report the diagnosis and treatment truthfully, if the diagnosis and treatment is ineffective, it needs to be reported to the county government, and after inspection and confirmation, slaughter, if it is not inspected, it is slaughtered without authorization, and it will be severely punished. Whoever slaughters an ox without permission shall be fined ten taels of silver, and if anyone reports and catches the slaughter of cattle without authorization, a reward of fifteen cents shall be given. This cloth. Effective today.

The day after the notice was announced, someone came to receive the reward.

The person who came was none other than Shanan's neighbor, named Shi Mao.

Shi Mao said: "Master, the little one came to report that the neighbor Shanan did not comply with the provisions of the county government notice, and slaughtered his own cattle without authorization during the ban period when the ban was in effect. After the small one was discovered, he immediately came to report it and hoped that the old man would investigate it. ”

Tang Lu took a look, this is worth it!

Didn't Shi Mao know the difficulties encountered by Shanan? His big scalper's tongue was cut, and the villain is still at large! Shanan's family is not a wealthy family, but they are very good at housework. For the big scalper is very attentive, the management is very good, and the big scalper has also made a lot of contributions. He is very hard at cultivating the land, and he is docile and obedient, and he is a good cow. This cattle was bought back from other places in Shanan, and it is a good breed, it is a bull, and in addition to cultivating the land and raking the fields, it can also provide seed services to other cows.

It can be said that the big yellow cow is an excellent breed, very attractive to local farmers, some farmers over the mountains and mountains, not afraid of hard work to come to the cow, looking for Shanan to help, said to help, not in vain, Shanan got a lot of gifts, this makes Shanan very sense of achievement, feel that get the big yellow cattle, equal to their own vision, choose a good cow, has all aspects of the role, admirable.

His big scalper is famous far and wide, and of course there are some jealous people who secretly want his big scalper to die. Shanan is not wealthy, and he does not like to show off, because when he is famous, it is easy to arouse the jealousy of others, and then he will develop hatred, and even kill or injure.

It is common to hate people who are rich and laugh at people who are poor, Tang Lu is very clear about this, the big yellow cow has become a big tree in Shanan, the big tree can attract the wind, and the tree is easy to attract the wind, some people wish that Shanan was poor, and they did not eat the last meal, the poorer they are, the more bitter they are, the happier others are, as long as they live a good life, for example, other people's families do not have ploughing cattle, even if they have, it is not a good ploughing cattle, for Shanan, he not only has ploughing cattle, but also has a kind of cattle, there are big yellow cattle, this in the countryside, it will arouse public anger, although they all have to ask for bulls, however, when they ran out, they began to curse. They wish that Shanan's big scalper died or was crippled, and Shanan ended up living worse than anyone else, which made them happy, and their goal was to eliminate all the rich people in the village, so that everyone could be poor, and everyone would live a poor life together, so that everyone could feel more comfortable. If you see that Shanan is doing well, everyone will be jealous.

Tang Lu thought to himself, didn't this person named Shimao know that the tongue of the Niu Niu of the Shanan family had been cut? If he knew, the little Shanan had a disabled cow in his family, and he was about to die.

Shi Mao should not be nosy, and focus on how to do a good job in spring ploughing, he does not care about spring ploughing, and has a soft spot for reporting others, it seems that he is a lifelong pursuit of the whole work, so the whole person, very interesting, and can continue.

Tang Lu guessed that this idle guy came prepared, he just wanted to bring down Shanan.

What the whole village knew, he didn't know!

Shanan slaughtering cattle is in line with the content of the announcement and is allowed, but Shi Mao came to report it, it seems that he is not a good type and wants to frame a good person. This one clearly has a grudge against Shanan, and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Shanan, or throw Shanan into prison, eat prison food, make him suffer, and then buy off the jailer and kill him in prison to achieve his goal.

Who has such a great enmity?

It's stone hair.

Tang Lu designed that when the wind goes out, it is to find the person who reported or complained, and after finding it, he can detect the person who cut the cow's tongue.

Tang Lu ordered Shi Mao to be taken down, and then interrogated, Shi Mao saw it, panicked, and hurriedly said that it was wrong.

However, it was too late, and he was to be punished for falsely accusing Shanan.

Tang Lu asked, "Do you have anything to confess?" If there is, the punishment can be reduced, and you can be subtracted by beating you forty boards. ”

It's not easy.

Save 30 boards, maybe you can pick up a life.

He said again and again: "Adults, the little ones are willing to confess, are willing to turn themselves in, turn themselves in, and add a confession, you can be exempted from playing the board, right?" ”

"Say, what are you going to turn yourself in?"

"The tongue of the big scalper of the Shanan family is cut small." Shi Mao said.

"Oh, why cut out the tongue of the big scalper? Does Shanan have a grudge against you? Tang Lu asked.

"Yes, my lord, there is a grudge, the big scalper always steals the crops of the small family, and the big scalper always bullies the small one, every time we meet, the big scalper has to reach the small one's bull, every time the small one's bull loses, and never wins once, the little one feels very faceless, every time he asks Shanan to take care of the big scalper, he not only doesn't care, but also scolds the small, the small belly is angry, there is no place to come out, and Shanan fights, always can't fight. The bright ones can't do it, only the dark ones come to the dark, the yang plot can't work, only the conspiracy comes. Shi Mao said.

"These are the little things. Why do you want to do this? Tang Lu asked.

"Adult, in your opinion, it is a small matter, and in the eyes of the small rural people, it is a big thing, and nothing is a small matter, because everything is related to the issue of personal face and dignity. These are all important. Without face, it is difficult to move an inch. Shi Mao said.

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

"Yes. Shanan has made a fortune over the years, he is rich and powerful, but he looks down on people, and the villagers hate him, and he doesn't come to visit long-term and short-term workers during the New Year's holidays. Forget if you don't look at the short-term workers, after all, the time of work is short, there is no big contribution, and the short-term workers don't give their opinions, why don't even the long-term workers come to see? It's not like his father, Lao Sha. His father Lao Sha is not like this. Lao Sha, that is, Shanan's father, used to bring gifts to congratulate the long-term workers on the New Year's holidays, at that time, Shanan also followed, and was influenced by his father at a very young age, and should continue to maintain this habit, but Shanan forgot that this habit that had been followed for many years was abolished. This hurts the heart of the long-term worker. If this continues, the long-term workers will not be able to work well, and the wages will still be paid, and if they are not paid, they will leave immediately. Lao Sha knows the truth of being a man, and he must be extra careful and cautious about these long-term workers, and he must give the benefits he should give, otherwise, the work efficiency cannot be improved to a certain extent. ”

"You mean that Shanan is not good for Changgong, what does this have to do with you?" Tang Lu asked.

"Because the younger uncle is a long-term worker. He often talks about the benefits of Lao Sha, that is, Shanan can't do it, not even one-tenth of Lao Sha. But if Shanan is more compassionate, then things will be much easier, not only will there be no enemies, but many benefactors will be added. ”

"This is a different management method for two generations, and it is understandable, it is a family affair of other people, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Master, the little one knows that this has nothing to do with the small one, but it is related to the small one, which is equivalent to indirectly having something to do with the small one. For those problems, the small one also observed, that is, Shanan looked down on such a person as the small one, since he looked down on it, then look down on it, anyway, the little one had nothing to ask him. It's just that his attitude is annoying, and he has to find a way to get revenge on him. You know, what he feels most distressed about is the big scalper, if he loses his favorite, then it is very likely to hit him hard, and he will no longer be proud. Shi Mao said.

"You too, you have no grievances and no enmity, you take the big scalper out to get angry, and then say how good his father is, how bad he is when he comes to his generation, is it really not as good as the generation? It's all secondary, it's important how to make Lizhuang a really good place. It can really be an outstanding person, a treasure of things. Tang Lu said.

"Adult, the little one has already known that he was wrong, and he regretted cutting the tongue of the big scalper, the big scalper was not wrong, the fault was the master. To be honest, when the little one saw that Shanan was wearing gold and silver, he was envious. However, he immediately began to hate Shanan, and if he did not hate, it was as if the day's work had not begun. People are working in hatred. Especially for those who are rich, everyone hates them, even if the rich do not speak, it is a kind of disdain, they always feel that their money is not clean, and the noble people are not grounded, and they cannot be forgiven by the poor, and the poor have been suspicious of the rich since ancient times, unless the relationship between the two lasts for a hundred years, many people are not willing to be poor, but there are always people who are in trouble and need help. When the poor turn over and have money, they will be hated immediately, unless they don't know it. But those who take revenge are always haunting the rich, and if they are not careful, they will attack the rich, that is, those who are not human, and they will face a lot of accusations. Shi Mao said.
