Lu Zilin was executed by family law.

It means a different thing.

Who is Lu Zilin?

It is regarded as the contemporary head of the Lu family.

It's still a township covenant, a person in the government.

Lu Zilin's identity would not have been beaten. Bai Jiaxuan didn't think about doing anything to Lu Zilin.

However, Lu Zilin became the dogleg of the government, bullied his neighbors, and his reputation was bad for several years. Everyone doesn't have a good impression of Lu Zilin, they are all disgusted.

In this case, Lu Zilin took the lead in gambling and doing all kinds of bad things, which caused public outrage.

When Zhou Qiang came forward and demanded that Lu Zilin be severely punished, the villagers finally couldn't help but break out.

It's not just people with the surname Bai who demand punishment for Lu Zilin, but also people with the surname Lu.

Lu Zilin was insatiable and offended all the villagers in Bailu Village. Except for a few doglegs and concubines.

"No, Bai Jiaxuan, you can't use the family method on me!" In Lu Zilin's shouting, several men held Lu Zilin and crackled and beat him.

"Ah, it hurts me!"

"You are presumptuous! I'm a villager! ”

"I'm the Patriarch!"

"Whoever beats me, I'll kill him!"

Lu Zilin kept talking cruelly.

Not only did it not work, but it was counterproductive.

The one who started it, the one who started it, the one

Lu Zilin's back, the flesh and blood of the beating were blurred.

Not only that, but there are also hands, Lu Zilin's hands were also beaten.

Because Lu Zilin gambled, he was a thug.

If you say anything, Bai Jiaxuan's subordinates were merciful and did not feed Lu Zilin feces.

In the ancestral hall, Lu Taiheng was not there.

After the Lu family's reputation became infamous, Lu Taiheng basically did not come to the ancestral hall for meetings.

If Lu Taiheng is here, maybe Lu Zilin won't be beaten.

After beating Lu Zilin, he dispersed.

Bai Xing'er and a few people carried Lu Zilin home.

Along the way, Lu Zilin was still scolding, "Bai Jiaxuan, you wait for me, I will report to the official to arrest you!" ”

Lu Zilin only dared to retaliate against Bai Jiaxuan, not Zhou Qiang.

In recent years, Zhou Qiang's reputation has become more and more famous.

The tree attracted bandits.

Several bandits came to the plains and attacked Zhou Qiang.

The result?

The bandits were all shot and killed.

One by one, the bodies were dragged to mass graves and buried.

Lu Zilin saw it with his own eyes.

Seeing those corpses, Lu Zilin couldn't hold back and urinated.

Lu Zilin is a coward, and when it comes to a critical time, it will not work.

can also bully and bully women.

From then on, Lu Zilin no longer dared to provoke Zhou Qiang.

Behind, there are also smart bandits who ambush Zhou Qiang halfway.

However, the bandits in ambush were discovered early, and Zhou Qiang sent people to quietly touch them, and they were all shot and killed.

Since then, no bandits in the vicinity of Bailuyuan have dared to provoke Zhou Qiang.

Lu Zilin was carried home.

"How did this happen?" Lu Taiheng and Lu He panicked.

Bai Xing'er and a few people added fuel and vinegar and said a lot of bad things about Bai Jiaxuan.

But Lu Taiheng was not confused, he understood that Lu Zilin had done too much, and under the excitement of the crowd, Bai Jiaxuan had to use family law against Lu Zilin.

However, it is clear that Lu Taiheng still hates Bai Jiaxuan, and is thinking that there is a suitable opportunity to clean up Bai Jiaxuan.

The ancestral hall held a meeting.

It was getting late, and Zhou Qiang went home.

After walking for a while, I suddenly felt a fierce aura and came to the vicinity of the village.

Zhou Qiang pinched his fingers and knew that this was the white wolf.

"White Deer Plain", writing about white deer and white wolf, is referential.

The white deer represents a bumper harvest of grains and auspiciousness.

And the white wolf represents the disaster of blood and light, representing the coming of the disaster.

Whether it is a white deer or a white wolf, in it, it refers to the luck of Bailu Village.

If the villagers of Bailu Village are friendly to their neighbors, the people are simple, they help each other, and they are peaceful, then the luck of Bailu Village is a white deer that symbolizes 'beauty'.

On the contrary, it is the white wolf.

Now, the white wolf is here, which means that the peaceful atmosphere in Bailu Village is gone, and it means that Bailu Village is about to be calamitized.

Zhou Qiang walked in the direction of the white wolf, he wanted to see what the white wolf was like.

Outside the village.

It was pitch black.

A pair of green eyes were staring at Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang looked indifferent and walked over casually.

The white wolf bared its teeth and seemed to threaten Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang is still approaching step by step.

The white wolf suddenly howled and ran away.

"What a timid little white wolf." The white wolf is not small, it is bigger than an ordinary wolf, but Zhou Qiang feels that the white wolf is too small.

Too lazy to chase, Zhou Qiang went home directly.

Next.

Bai Jiaxuan called Zhou Qiang and went to the provincial capital together.

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to see what Zhou Qiang said about the new primary school.

"Patriarch, there are great changes outside now, not only there are new-style primary schools, but also big schools, and hospitals opened by foreigners, I heard that there are trains over there in Wusong" Zhou Qiang casually said about the changes outside.

Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were dumbfounded when they heard this.

They know almost nothing about the changes out there.

"Patriarch, do you remember that little note that Mr. Zhu left before? The feet are enlarged, the hair hinges are short, and the nails are often cut and the pockets should be shallow. ”

"Remember."

"Now the people outside, the men's pigtails are cut, and the women's feet are no longer tied.

Nails or something, they don't stay that long.

The men in our village, except for the old ones with long hair, the young people all shaved their heads.

However, the bad habit of women binding their feet is still there.

Patriarch, in our village, foot binding should be abolished. ”

"Cancel foot binding?" As for whether it should be bound to feet, Bai Jiaxuan was a little confused.

Although Mr. Zhu left a message to cancel foot binding, he didn't know how many years of foot binding, maybe it had been thousands of years.

Now, slamming it out to stop binding your feet is hard to get used to.

"Patriarch, none of the women outside now have bound their feet.

In the future, only women who do not bind their feet can get married, and if they are entangled, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry. ”

Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San didn't speak, they were both a little unconvinced.

"Patriarch, take a good look at the provincial capital, none of the girls who are in elementary school now have bound their feet."

Bai Jiaxuan nodded, still didn't say anything. He wanted to see what the girls in the provincial city looked like.

Arrived in the provincial capital.

They went to Zhou Qiang's wine and butcher shop first.

"Patriarch, third brother, come, let's eat and drink casually, and then go to the nearby elementary school to have a look." Zhou Qiang asked people to cut some cooked food and make a pot of wine.

"Xiaoqiang, how much money can you make in this shop?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.

"It's not much, if you throw away the expenses a month, it's only twenty or thirty oceans."

"That's a lot!" Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were both a little surprised.

"It's okay. This shop was bought in the year when the Qing soldiers were besieging the city.

I bought two shops.

This shop earns less.

There is also a shop that sells foreign goods.

That shop can earn hundreds of oceans a month. "Selling foreign goods is a good deal, and you can earn a lot of money.

"Hundreds of oceans?" At this moment, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San were both surprised and couldn't close their mouths.

"Yes, come, eat meat, let's have a drink." Zhou Qiang didn't say anything about other shops.

Zhou Qiang's shop is more than these two.

In the past few years, he has bought several shops, the largest of which sells French fries. A month's net profit, five or six hundred oceans.

Of course, to earn so much, you need to do a little bit.

Zhou Qiang also made friends with some powerful people.

Zhou Qiang, the county magistrate of Zishui County, is also very familiar with him, and he also does business with the county magistrate's eldest brother.

Governor Zhang's brother-in-law, Zhou Qiang, also joined in to do business.

After eating and drinking, a few people went to a nearby new-style elementary school.

Zhou Qiang told the doorman and let them in.

Classrooms, desks and chairs, students, teachers, schedules, textbooks, and so on, all opened Bai Jiaxuan's eyes.

Everything about the new elementary school has changed a lot compared to the private school of the past.

Although some of the private school courses have been retained, the teaching methods and other aspects have changed.

Teachers have also changed, not only showing off their talents and lifting people, but also foreigners, international students, graduates of normal schools, and other new types of intellectuals.

"Xiaoqiang, why did this elementary school become like this?" Bai Jiaxuan was a little difficult to accept.

"Patriarch, times are different.

These changes are all brought about by foreigners.

Foreigners have foreign guns and cannons, but we don't.

Therefore, I fought with foreigners before and kept losing.

That old lady Cixi, isn't she still hiding in our Chang'an City.

Foreigners still have cars and trains, but we don't have either.

If we want to build guns and cannons, cars and trains, we have to learn the knowledge of foreigners, so there are new schools. Zhou Qiang said casually.

"The emperor is gone, and the old woman is dead. The world has really changed. Bai Jiaxuan sighed. Without the emperor, Bai Jiaxuan has always been a little at a loss.

"Yes, patriarch, our village is also going to change, don't let the girls get their feet tangled first."

"Then why don't you bind your feet? Doesn't a foreigner girl tie her feet? Bai Jiaxuan saw it just now, all the girls in the elementary school did not bind their feet.

"Patriarch, foot binding is a bad habit, a means of persecuting women, and it should have been abolished a long time ago." What Zhou Qiang said made Bai Jiaxuan silent.

Several people left the elementary school.

Zhou Qiang took Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San around.

"Look, that's a car.

Foreigners are man-made, and they run fast.

It's gasoline-burning. ”

"There's a photo studio over there."

"It's a foreigner's hospital."

"That's a big school. Now reading has changed, and I don't take the imperial examination. However, after graduating from school, you can go to the government to find a job. ”

"Patriarch, times are different. It's time for our village to change. ”

After turning for a long time, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San opened their eyes.

Bai Jiaxuan took the time to go to a relative's house, but he didn't stay long, and he also knew that the girl's baby from the relative's house was not bound to her feet.

At night, they stayed at Zhou Qiang's house.

Zhou Qiang asked people to prepare a table of banquets.

"This is the gourd chicken of Chang'an Restaurant, the gourd head of spring, the dumplings of Defa Chang, and the aged old wine of Zhouji Wine Shop."

"What? I've heard of these foods, but why haven't I heard of this wine? Bai Jiaxuan looked curious.

"Haha, patriarch, this wine is from my wine shop, it's very beautiful, drink it." Zhou Qiang's wine is very delicious, and now it has a certain reputation.

Chang'an City, many people know, the old wine of Zhouji Wine Shop.

"It's your wine! Your wine is delicious. Bai Jiaxuan often exchanged wine with Zhou Qiang.

"Come, patriarch, third brother, I will toast you."

The next day.

Several people got up early.

Feel free to take a bite.

And he hurried back.

On the way back, Bai Jiaxuan and Lu San kept talking about something.

"That foreigner looks like a ghost, and it looks scary." Lu San felt that foreigners were not people.

"Then the car can drive all the time, and you don't have to feed food."

"The foreigner's hospital is not a herbal medicine, it's a small pill. Those foreign doctors, why are they dressed in white, just like filial piety clothes. Lu San felt that nothing was right.

"What an eye-opener this time!" Bai Jiaxuan sighed a little.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, society has been undergoing drastic changes.

It is difficult for ordinary people who don't understand anything to adapt.

"Patriarch, after you go back, you should tell everyone, don't let the girl get her feet tangled. Otherwise, when the girl in our village grows up, she won't be able to get married. Zhou Qiang talked about foot binding again.

"It's time to do away with foot binding." Bai Jiaxuan agreed, and after knowing what the situation was in the provincial capital, Bai Jiaxuan also felt that the village should have changed, "Xiaoqiang, how can we build this new primary school?" ”

"I have already discussed with the magistrate of Zishui County, and the magistrate of He agreed to build a primary school.

However, due to lack of funds, I need to pay for it. ”

"You pay?" Bai Jiaxuan hesitated.

"Patriarch, money is nothing. I'm worried that the big guys won't want to come to the new elementary school. Zhou Qiang has become a successful person in the village, and he also wants to do something beneficial to Bailu Village.

"It's easy to do. I'll go back and talk to the big guys, so that the children in our village can go to a new primary school. ”

At this time, Lu San interjected: "Lu Zhaopeng's Lu Zilin family also went to the private school in the next village." ”

"Private schools are outdated." Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, "Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Heiwa, I won't go to a private school, I want to go to a new-style elementary school." ”

Bai Jiaxuan finally made a change.

He, a representative of feudal thought, has undergone some changes under the influence of Zhou Qiang.

"What? Heiwa goes to a new primary school? Lu San was stunned again. He didn't think about letting Heiwa go to school.

"Yes, Heiwa also has to go to school. Third brother, I'll handle Heiwa's schooling. "Bai Jiaxuan is still good to Lu San, and regards Lu San as a family member.

"No, that kid is not school material." Lu San was a little embarrassed.

Nothing happened all the way.

Bai Jiaxuan and the three returned to Bailu Village.

Immediately, someone surrounded Bai Jiaxuan.

One sentence in the east, one mouth in the west.

After listening to it, I realized that something had happened in the village.

Last night, the white wolf came.

killed Lu Zilin's cattle and mules.

They didn't eat meat, they drank only blood.

This scene directly scared Lu Zilin into fainting.

Lu Zilin's family is in a mess.

Last night, Bai Jiaxuan was not there.

It was Mr. Leng and a few old men who came forward and asked everyone to light a fire and drive away the white wolf.

Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly went to Lu Zilin's house.

Zhou Qiang didn't follow, he went back to Zhou's house.

"Boss, are you back?" An old man in his fifties hurried up to meet him.

He is the housekeeper hired by Zhou Qiang, and he is a lonely old man in Fanjiazhai in Beiyuan.

"Lao Fan, what's wrong?" Zhou Qiang spoke very casually.

However, Zhou Qiang is very strict with his family.

It has always been a stick in one hand and a radish in the other.

These people eat this set very much.

If you are polite, it is not beautiful.

"The owner, a matchmaker came, saying that she had found the woman the owner wanted." Lao Fan's attitude was very respectful and he didn't dare to be careless.

"Oh? There was a letter so soon? Zhou Qiang's eyes lit up and he went to the hall.

Lao Fan hurriedly beckoned the others to serve tea.

They do things with meticulous care.

Usually, he was scolded by Zhou Qiang.

"Boss Zhou, I'm so happy! Let me tell you, I haven't been idle in the past two days, and I've been helping you find a woman from a scholarly family." The chubby matchmaker hurriedly reported the situation to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang quickly heard a few key words, "The one in the Guannei is not from Tianjia Village." ”

"Father is not Xiucai, grandfather is."

"I've just reached twenty-eight."

"Is there a portrait?" Zhou Qiang listened patiently and asked.

Before Zhou Qiang asked the matchmaker to prepare the portrait of the woman.

"Yes, yes, I'll take it." The matchmaker hurriedly took out the portrait.

After looking at it casually, Zhou Qiang was sure that there was no eye edge.

In short, not pretty.

"This won't work." Zhou Qiang said bluntly, "The appearance is still almost." ”

"This." The matchmaker wanted to say a few more words.

But Zhou Qiang didn't give her a chance, "You are the first to reply, and I will reward you with a piece of the ocean."

But next time, I can't just find a random woman and give me an errand. Zhou Qiang trained a few words and rewarded a piece of the ocean.

"Yes, yes, Boss Zhou, I understand, I'll go find it for you again."

"Remember, it's okay to be outside the gate." Zhou Qiang told again.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to go and ask outside the customs."

After the matchmaker left.

Lao Fan reported to Zhou Qiang about the white wolf, "Owner, a white wolf came to the village last night and sucked up the blood of Lu Zilin's cattle and mules."

"It's just a wolf, let the tiger keep a snack. If the white wolf dares to come, he will be shot and killed. ”

"Got it, owner."

Soon, Bai Jiaxuan held a meeting of the whole family.

Three things.

The first is to send people to patrol at night.

The second is to cancel foot binding.

The third is to establish a new type of primary school.

There is no controversy about sending people to patrol, everyone agrees.

However, the abolition of foot binding did not agree with the women.

It's not that the men disagree, it's the women who don't.

Bai Jiaxuan stood in front of everyone and shouted:

"You go to the county seat to take a look, see the female baby in the county seat, and which one is bound to the feet!"

"Yesterday I went to the provincial capital, and in the new-style primary school in the provincial capital, there was not a single girl with her feet bound!"

"The situation outside has changed, and we must follow suit!"

"The cost of building a new primary school is Zhou Qiang's personal expense. When it is completed, everyone has to let the children go to school! ”
