Chapter 0031 - Grievances between the two surnames
Seeing everyone leave, Zhu Chengjun turned around and stepped into the carriage to continue his journey home.
Crossing the canyon path, I inadvertently noticed a horse-drawn carriage coming from the corner.
Zhu Chengjun saw that the person driving was in a hurry, as if he was being chased by a thief behind him.
In the remote countryside, thieves with some real skills do not want to patronize, unless something important happens.
"Big brother, I know this person, he is the housekeeper of the landlord Li's family in the same village as us." A look of disgust appeared in Chang Song's eyes.
Zhu Chengjun heard Fu Bo mention that Landlord Li's family and his own family would have a quarrel every year before plowing because of irrigation water problems. His father, Zhu Hanmo, was a scholar who didn't like to argue with others, and he could tolerate the tyrannical behavior of the Li landlord's family. As a result, my family missed the farming season and lost a lot of fields.
In the era of small-scale farming with backward water conservancy facilities, there were frequent fights for irrigation water in every village.
Now that spring ploughing is about to start, combined with past grievances, Zhu Chengjun naturally thought of this.
Zhu Chengjun looked at Chang Song and asked, "During the time I was not at home, did something happen?" ”
Chang Song stared at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and replied: "We need a lot of wood to burn charcoal, and the mountains and forests of the eldest brother's family have almost been cut down. The eldest brother has been so busy recently, and the younger brother really doesn't want the eldest brother to be distracted by this matter, so he hasn't told you all the time. ”
This is an old hatred that has not disappeared and a new hatred has been added, and Zhu Chengjun suddenly felt bad.
"Not good! Something may have happened at home! Zhu Chengjun has heard of Landlord Li's strength in picking the door, and with his character of hating and not staying overnight, he will definitely take advantage of Chang Song's lack of manpower to send charcoal out to take revenge.
Zhu Chengjun gave Xu Xiao and Chang Song a look, and commanded in a deep voice: "The road is narrow, and this road can't be let him pass no matter what." After the words fell, Zhu Chengjun turned around and got into the carriage.
Xu Xiao and Chang Song understood, and immediately staggered the long snake convoy, and the two carriages marched in unison.
The road is not very wide, and it is a little reluctant for both cars to run side by side.
In this era, there are no traffic rules and civilized driving, and Zhu Chengjun has no psychological pressure to act as a road tyrant, not to mention that the two families do not deal with each other, and there is a chance to suppress the rival, it would be a pity to miss it.
Seeing that the road was blocked, the coachman turned his head and reported, "Uncle Lu, there is someone blocking the road ahead." ”
Steward Lu lifted the curtain, and when he saw that it was the sworn brother of the young master of the Zhu family, he saw that it was the young master of the Zhu family. When the rivals met, the housekeeper Lu did not dare to make a mistake because of the large number of people on the other side, so he immediately ordered the coachman to pull over.
Steward Lu's turtle-like head was about to retract, but he was drunk by Chang Song on the spot.
"Yo...... Isn't this Steward Lu! "Speaking of finding faults, Chang Song has recently learned a little bit from the market. If you don't have the art, you may be able to give birth to your hands, Chang Song decided to take Steward Lu to practice her hands, and by the way, he also brought out a backlog of nest gas recently.
"Brother Chang, where is this fighting?" Steward Lu stretched his obscene head, poked it out, and it wasn't it when he retracted it.
Chang Song shook his head, raised his chin and said, "Steward Lu is in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”
Steward Lu's eyes dodged, and the beard like his two small eyebrows trembled, and said, "I'm going to the county seat to do things for the master." ”
"It turned out that he went into the city to do something for Master Li?" Chang Song deliberately lengthened his breath and continued to tease: "Steward Lu is in such a hurry, is Master Li ...... Sick dying? ”
"I still hope that Brother Chang will stay in his mouth, my old man is very hard-boned." was ridiculed by Chang Song's cold words and sarcasm about his master, and Steward Lu's face immediately sank.
"It turns out that I'm not sick, what is Steward Nalu doing in such a hurry." Chang Song glanced at Steward Lu and continued: "You have also seen it, it is really inconvenient for us to give way to you with so many things, or you will always let you go back and find a place to flash." It's not that brother, I don't respect the elderly, but I'm really afraid that the horse will suddenly be frightened and crash into your old man's house. ”
Chang Song said that you are old, and Steward Lu was so angry on the spot that he said with a sullen voice: Lao Tzu is not old yet! Mrs. Li's newly admitted concubine, who has only been in the room for three months, is pregnant under our diligent care.
"Brother Chang, don't be too much!" Steward Lu's eyes suddenly burst into flames.
Chang Song immediately straightened his face and said angrily: "Lao Lu! Sitting in the car is my eldest brother, who missed my eldest brother's big event, can you afford it! ”
"Third brother, why did you stop, our father is still waiting for us to go home for dinner, and he should be angry again if he misses the meal. If it's an irrelevant person, quickly throw a few copper plates to get rid of it, and rub it off. Zhu Chengjun's lazy voice came.
How many copper plates are lost? Sent! Who will send a few copper plates!
"U-turn!" Steward Lu was so angry that he retracted into the car.
"Hurry up!" Chang Song shouted, then turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, work hard!" ”
The coachman who was in charge of driving the car for Steward Lu hurriedly beat the horses and said angrily: "Brute! Hugh is lazy! ”
"Brute! Don't hurry up yet! Steward Lu poked his head out and urged sharply.
"Brute, hurry up!"
"Hurry up, brute!"
…………
At Chang Song's signal, everyone behind him shouted in unison.
"Who is that man? So familiar! After driving Steward Lu for three miles, Xu Xiao suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"It's the sixth son!" Chang Song hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran over.
"Captain Chang...... Composed...... Captain, you're finally back! "It's as if the six sons have seen a savior.
"How's it going at home?" Chang Song asked while tugging at the placket of Liuzi's clothes.
"Go back and help! Landlord Li brought his family to smash our things and beat our people......"
"Bastard! Lao Tzu slaughtered you! Knowing that it was Landlord Li who brought someone to the door to cause trouble, Chang Song was so angry that he immediately stepped forward and pulled Steward Lu out of the car and beat him up.
Zhu Chengjun rushed out with a murderous face, and said angrily: "Third brother! Bring someone back immediately! If they do do do it, you will call me to death! Someone's fate is mine! ”
"A team! Second team! Copy guys! Come with me! ”
Zhu Chengjun looked gloomy, and in a blink of an eye, he commanded Xu Xiao: "Let's hurry up too!" ”
"Everyone, keep up!"
Before Zhu Chengjun and his party reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of killing in the charcoal workshop, and knew that Chang Song had done it with Landlord Li's family. Zhu Chengjun immediately asked the convoy to stop and asked Xu Xiao to rush to support!
"Bang...... Boom...... Call...... The sound of fighting ...... is endless.
"Ah...... Ah......h
The destructive power of the fight, which involved hundreds of people, was extraordinary.
Zhu Chengjun arrived, and when he saw the charcoal workshop that had been destroyed beyond recognition, he had the heart to kill Lao Li's family at this moment.
Landlord Li is the largest landowner in the village, and there are no less than hundreds of family members, nurses, and long-term workers.
Even though Xu Xiao and Chang Song's subordinates were all brave men, the scene still fell into a short stalemate.
Xu Xiao and Chang Song became more and more courageous, and after a hard battle, they finally reversed the situation with their superior combat power.
"Don't fight...... We withdrew ......" The long-term workers of Landlord Li's family saw that the situation was not good, and immediately had the idea of retreating.
"Don't quit! I'll give you more money! Add...... Five hundred texts! No...... Add a tael of silver! ”
No matter how the eldest son of the Li landlord's family shouted, the long-term workers just ignored him.
With the evacuation of the Li landlord and the workers from the scene, the situation was completely one-sided.
"Protect me! Quickly withdraw ......" The defeat has been decided, and the eldest son of the Li landlord's family was so frightened that he fled.
The bully arrived home, how could Zhu Chengjun endure it, and shouted: "Set up the formation!" Fence it off! Don't let any of them go! ”
Although there are many family members, nursing homes, and long-term workers of Landlord Li, after all, they are all a group of rabble, how have they ever seen such professional fighting techniques, and they can't help but think: This is still a family? The combat power of the regular army of the imperial court is probably nothing more than that! When the people of Landlord Li's family saw that the situation was unfavorable to them, they immediately scattered and fled faster than anyone else.
"Don't run!"
"Disarm or kill!"
…………
"Big brother spares his life, spares his life......"
Everyone in Li's landlord's family had no fighting spirit, their legs and feet were weak and they couldn't run, and they were soon made dumplings by Xu Xiao and Chang Song.
"Put your head in your hands! Get down! ”
"Be honest!"
…………
Xu Xiao ordered people to slowly compress the encirclement.
"Third brother, save people!" Zhu Chengjun then shouted: "Those who can still move listen to my orders!" Act now, move wood, erect fences, and trap them! ”
After the cooperation of the three brothers, the scene finally stabilized.
"Big brother! Luckily, we came back in time, and most of our people were unharmed. Chang Song wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.
The inferior side of the brawl of hundreds of people was only a little injured, Zhu Chengjun couldn't believe it a little, and then asked, "How is the landlord Li's house?" ”
"The younger brother and the brothers failed to stop their hands, and killed more than ten people on the spot, maybe a little ......more," Chang Song became more and more frightened the more he spoke. Killing people according to the law pays for life, there are few exceptions since ancient times, and the reincarnation judgment of Bao Qingtian is no different.
"Big brother, it's all done." Xu Xiao came over to report, and when he saw the bloody ground, he couldn't help but vomit slightly.
Zhu Chengjun rubbed his forehead, he was making trouble for this matter, after all, more than a dozen fresh lives were lost like this, and it was even more tricky to report to the official to deal with it. Under the law set by the deceased for the great concern, there were slight casualties on his own side, and even if he was afraid of his own side, it was difficult not to pay any price.
Zhu Chengjun thought about it again and again, and thought that this matter should not be made a big fuss, let alone go to court, if this incident was characterized as a fight caused by hatred between civil clans, it would definitely be better to deal with it, and the hatred between the two surnames, the government would not dare to easily handle it impartially in accordance with the existing laws and regulations.
"Put them all out later! The dead let them carry them away. Zhu Chengjun waved his hand.
"Released?!" Chang Song was extremely surprised.
Zhu Chengjun nodded, and instructed Xu Xiao: "You will personally lead the team to escort them back and forward my handwritten letter to Old Lady Li." ”
Xu Xiao, Chang Song was confused, and didn't understand why the eldest brother had such an arrangement.
"If you still recognize me as a big brother, do it immediately!" Zhu Chengjun reprimanded.
Zhu Chengjun trained Xu Xiao and Chang Song speechlessly, and then ordered: "During the time when my letter was not written, all of you should not be idle, and immediately arrange for people to build fortifications, so as not to retaliate against the Li family afterwards." ”
"I see!" Xu Xiao slapped his thigh, in his cognition, the government generally does not care about the private grievances between the major surnames and clans of the people, even if the case is reported, it is not tried, as long as the game between the two surnames is not completely clear, the government is not good to favor either side, and the case will be closed in the end.
