Chapter 91: Twists and turns
The person who came was Hong Lizheng, who was running all over the place and panting, which shows the urgency of the situation.
"Grandpa Lizheng, what's wrong?" Jiang Changan was also taken aback, didn't the three-room family sell ice? Now that he is being escorted to Baishi Mountain, is it related to saltpeter?
"And Jadeite." Li Shushen reminded in a low voice.
Ah, yes, there is not only saltpeter in Baishi Mountain, but also the jade in the cave!
However, Chen Xianling is looking for the sky, don't think about finding the jade again, because it is all included in Jiang Changan's space, and he doesn't dare to blatantly look for it, who makes those jadeites look for the light.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, there is a teacher." Li Shushen can be said to be confident.
Jiang Changan thought, It seems that it is also, Master Song is the former regent, and he is definitely not afraid of a small county order, but it is inevitable that there will be cannon fodder in the process of struggle, and he can't let the people in the third room have trouble, otherwise his three brothers will be pitiful.
Here, Jiang Changan and Li Shushen have already guessed the matter, and Hong Lizheng over there is also anxious and anxious.
Finally began, the political struggle, the saltpeter thing can only be made into ice and has little use value, but the formula for making salt is rare, and if one is not handled properly, the whole village will suffer.
Hong Lizheng didn't know the identity of Master Song, otherwise he would definitely not be so worried; I don't know about Jadeite, otherwise even Master Song may not be able to save their village.
Hong Li is in a hurry to find Old Man Jiang to save people, in his opinion, even if the family is separated, Jiang Laosan is still his son, "Chang'an, where is your grandfather? Let him go and see, Your third uncle and third aunt were sent to Baishi Mountain by the Yamen, and it was a big deal. ”
The Jiang family doesn't know whether it touched a god or a ghost recently, when it is unlucky, it is miserable, when it is lucky, it is that it makes money, and the blessings and misfortunes depend on the Jiang family to be vividly reflected.
Jiang Changan also felt embarrassed for Sanfang's luck, but he was really going to die unjustly, Jiang Laosan and the Jiang family just wanted to support their families, who did they provoke? was used by the county order to open the knife.
"Grandpa is in the backyard, what did the third uncle do? Was it to be taken to Baishi Mountain to be beheaded? "There is a mass grave there, and I was escorted by the government, how big is the shadow in my heart?
"Oh, you look for your master first" 100,000 urgent, Hong Lizheng didn't want to say so much, not to mention that it was useless to find Jiang Changan as a child.
But there is no need to look for it, the old man Jiang and the others were attracted by Hong Lizheng's eager voice, and they just heard Jiang Changan's sentence "Third Uncle.. to be beheaded'.
Suddenly, his body shook, and he almost didn't faint.
But Mrs. Jiang didn't have that much psychological capacity, she couldn't help it, and she fell down as soon as she rolled her eyes.
"Mother?! Mother, don't worry, you heard it wrong, the third child hasn't been beheaded yet. Jiang Lao Er hurriedly hugged his mother, and it was better not to say the comfort, it was really distracted.
Jiang Changan shrunk his neck, looking like he had done something wrong, she didn't mean it, really, just to set Hong Lizheng's words, who knew that the old lady would come so quickly.
"Help your mother into the house, the second daughter-in-law is watching, the second one, you go with your father to see, where is the boss?" Is the boss at home? At the most crisis, Old Man Jiang still hoped to get help from his son.
"Brother Jiang, don't panic, Master Song followed, he will definitely not let the third child of your family have anything to do." Hong Lizheng hurriedly comforted, because Master Song also said the same thing to him.
and asked Hong Lizheng to come to Jiang's house in person to report the news.
At this time, Jiang Jiarong limped back, covered in mud, very embarrassed, "Master, uncle is drinking at the patriarch's house, do you want me to call him back?" ”
Jiang Jiarong heard Old Man Jiang's words from afar, and of course he knew that his parents were arrested by officers and soldiers, and he also went home to rescue the soldiers.
After hearing this, Master Jiang felt even worse, and waved his hand weakly, "That's it, let's hurry to Baishi Mountain." ”
If there is such a big movement, Boss Jiang will definitely receive the news, and it depends on him if he can't help it, and if he can't force it, he will admit that the thief is his father's heart.
The group hurried to Baishi Mountain, and met many villagers on the way, all of whom were arrested and hurried up the mountain, and the county ordered to die, and all the residents had to go up the mountain to watch.
But this time, people's faces are obviously not as numb as they were at the beginning, and most of them are worried about the Jiang family, and there are also many people who comfort the old man Jiang, and the Jiang family has a certain centripetal force in the mountain village unconsciously.
On Baishi Mountain, Jiang Laosan and his wife were tied with their hands tied and knelt on the ground with a disgraced face, but behind them there was Master Song standing there, as if defending the couple.
Chen Xianling, on the other hand, was farther away, his eyes frequently scanning the surrounding situation, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A lot of arresters and even the guards guarding the city came, and they were all scattered around to check the situation.
Such a big battle made the villagers panic and did not dare to approach.
Until the arrival of Old Man Jiang and Hong Lizheng, they brought a group of villagers who supported the Jiang family, such as Landlord Shen, Blacksmith Jiang and Zhang Orion, etc.
Jiang Laosan finally saw his father, and immediately screamed, "Dad! Father! You're finally here, help me tell the adults, I really didn't do anything bad.
I'm just going to sell rock sugar water, I really don't know that saltpeter is a mine, it belongs to the imperial court, many people in the village make ice, not only me, Dad.
Dad, save me, help me plead with the county magistrate. ”
Sure enough, it's so difficult to make money, he got up early and rushed to the county seat to sell ice water, which was sold well, and he also made a lot of copper plates, who knows that it didn't take long to be arrested by the people of the yamen, and even the county magistrate personally went out.
The key is that he clearly told everything he knew, but he was still beaten and kicked by the people in the yamen, and the Jiang family was also bullied into eating tofu, if it wasn't for the urgency of the county order, it would be a ravaged end.
Both husband and wife were frightened, Jiang Laosan had never felt powerless at such a moment, and he suddenly realized the despair and panic of no one to help when the second child was bullied by Zhang San.
Therefore, Jiang Laosan did not expose the information that the ice-making was from Jiang Chang'an's hands.
Things proved that what he did was right, because Master Song saw Jiang Chang'an's sake, and stood beside him as soon as he came, with the intention of helping.
After hearing this, Old Man Jiang wanted to kneel down towards the county order as soon as his legs softened, but Jiang Changan grabbed him, "Lord County Order, I don't know what crime my third uncle has committed?" Can't saltpeter make ice? ”
Hearing Jiang Chang'an's innocent child's voice, Chen Xianling turned his head to look at the person, but his eyes were very cold, there was no patience in his eyes, and he was so irritable that he wanted to kill someone.
"Who told you how to make ice from saltpeter?" Chen Xianling asked.
"Me, is there a problem? Every summer, I will come here to pick up some saltpeter and go back to make ice, but saltpeter is not a mineral, I don't know what the adults mean by taking in my village? ”
Master Song finally spoke.
Chen Xianling stared at Song Fuzi with heavy eyes, this old man was very kind, but he didn't remember where he had seen it, he not only knew the high-end method of saltpeter ice making. Even his own forces can't find out the origin of this person, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
However, if the things in the cave are gone, it will not work if the king Lao Tzu comes that day.
Baishi Mountain has made such a big move, is his jade still safe? Therefore, when Chen Xianling saw the extra rock sugar water in this summer, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Within a radius of 100 miles from Laichang County, only the mountain village has saltpeter, and his things happened to be placed there, so Chen Xian ordered to gather people as soon as possible and went straight to Baishi Mountain.
And Jiang Laosan is just a reason why he can blatantly go up the mountain to search, if it is not useful, kill it, save these untouchables from jumping to the joy, and even dare to fight the idea of Baishi Mountain.
"Saltpeter is indeed not a mine, but the ownerless things are all owned by the imperial court, and it is illegal for you to mine them privately, and you should be beheaded according to the law."
As soon as Chen County's words fell, Jiang Laosan and his wife were paralyzed with fright, their eyes were wide open, and they would be beheaded if they sold ice? ! What kind of royal law is this, it doesn't give people a way to live at all.
"Heh, Song has never heard of such a law, besides, we didn't mine, we just picked up stones on the ground, could it be that you don't let the villagers go up the mountain to chop firewood, is this the law of the Chen family?"
Song Fuzi is no longer happy, a question, his aura suddenly opens, and his majesty is full of majesty.
Chen Xianling's brows were furrowed, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead in the face of the pressure that came to his face, who is this old man?
"Sir, this is not a borderland, Shushen bought this mountain long ago." Li Shushen smiled sarcastically and took out a title deed in a flash.
Chen Xianling's pupils shrank, and the title deed of Baishi Mountain in the mountain village was his! Bought for the sake of jadeite, recorded in the name of the outer room, why does this kid have his title deed? Or is the one he has in his hand a fake?
Master Song raised his eyebrows and smiled, this kid is hiding deep enough, how can he know the title deed of Baishi Mountain? "In this way, this is not a terra nullius, and the saltpeter that is not part of the ore is the owner's house.
As long as the owner agrees, anyone can mine at will, so what is the crime of the villagers? Song Fuzi took Li Shushen's title deed and opened it, and the most conspicuous thing was the red seal of the official mansion.
Master Song directly handed the title deed to Chen County Order.
After Chen County's order was taken, he could see the authenticity of the title deed at a glance, and even the mark he accidentally made on it was clear, and the title deed was genuine.
But, why did it appear on Li Shushen's body? What else did he know? Chen Xianling was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.
The people in this private school on the mountain are really weirder than the other.
In front of everyone's eyes, Chen County's order did not dare to make a big move, and finally had to return the title deed to Li Shushen obediently.
This wave of twists and turns, Jiang Changan was excited, Li Shushen is smart, when did he get the title deed? Could it be that he copied and made it old again?
Li Shu hooked the corners of his mouth to Jiang Changan proudly, that's right, this title deed is fake, it was imitated by himself, and even Chen Xianling himself couldn't see it.
Who let this title deed belong to him in the previous life, he is not familiar with it.
Of course, after the fall of Chen County, he got it.
