Chapter 113: The county
In this mountain field, in addition to those thugs, there is the leader surnamed Yu, and there are two followers. The surname Yu ran away, but the two followers didn't run, everyone caught these two people and forced them to ask where the money was put in the mountain field.
Finally, from the place where they put the money, they found five hundred taels of silver. Qian Mingyuan was in charge, and distributed the money to these beaten wooden handles, and the three who died, each of whom divided sixty taels of silver, found witnesses, and helped give it to their relatives. The rest was distributed to the wounded people, and then everyone hurried home.
There were a few minor injuries who felt that they had not made any progress when they went home this winter, and that they would have a hard time at that time. So I discussed with Qian Mingyuan and wanted to go to Qian Mingyuan's side. Qian Mingyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was okay, there was a lot of work in the big cabinet this year, and I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, if there were more people, it would be easy to do. So, he agreed to accept these dozen or so people with minor injuries.
Now that the matter has been resolved, everyone has taken their own people back to their respective mountain fields. Qian Mingyuan told everyone to be careful on weekdays, and beware of revenge for those surnamed Yu. Everyone said on the spot that if there is something in the family in the future, the big guys will have to come to help.
Qian Mingyuan took everyone back to his mountain farm, it was already close to dusk, and the big guy simply went back to the house to rest. The dozen or so new arrivals have also been arranged, anyway, there are so many places in the mountain field, and I am not afraid that there will be no place to live.
Yun Xue hurried to cook, and now she has to cook for more than forty people, which is not a small amount, and the rice alone has to be stewed in two pots. Yunlin hurriedly came over to help, and the two sisters and brothers worked together, and after half an hour, the meal was ready.
The big guys are a little tired from this fight today. When I eat at night, I gobble it up one by one, and the one who eats it is called a fragrant one. These newcomers found out that there was a special cooking here, and the food here was really good. In their hearts, there is a feeling of blessing in disguise, and they all cherish this opportunity very much, and it is best to work here safely and steadily.
And the one surnamed Yu stumbled all the way back, where did he dare to stop? What if the wooden handlers find out that he has run away and pick him up again? By the time he ran out of exhaustion to the outside of the county, it was already midnight. The gate was closed, and naturally it was impossible to enter, so he had to wait outside the city tremblingly, until the next morning, when the gate was opened, and he did not enter the city.
Wang Xiancheng was about to go to Yamen, but he heard someone report that Steward Yu had returned. Wang Xiancheng frowned, this Yu Hai, don't work the mountain, what are you doing when you come back? "Let him in."
Yu Hai entered the study, hurriedly came to Wang Xiancheng and knelt down in front of him, and then told all the things on the mountain. "My lord, the small ones are not good, and I ask the adults to punish them." He knelt there and didn't get up.
Wang Xiancheng was furious after hearing this, and stepped forward and kicked out of the sea, "Waste, you are a waste." I asked you to go up and take the lead, but I didn't want you to abuse those wooden handles. If you don't let them eat, can they do a good job for you? Let's just point to them to work in order to earn money, you are like this, who else is willing to work for us in the future? I have made an agreement with others about this batch of timber, and we can make a lot of money. You shit, you're so pissed off at me. Wang Xiancheng sat on the chair angrily.
"Adult, the little one knows that he is wrong, but what should we do now? The wooden handles in the mountain yard must have all run away, and we have no one to work on. Yu Hai knelt on the ground, his body was hit by this, he bared his teeth in pain, but he didn't dare to move.
"You ask me, who do I ask? It was not easy to find so many thirty or forty people, but when is it now, where is there still anyone to work? Wang Xiancheng sat there, also worried, not knowing what to do.
"Master, the eldest young master is here." A kid from outside came in, and then a young man came in from outside, this person was Wang Yuanpeng, who had a conflict with Yun Xue that time.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What's the trouble? Wang Yuanpeng looked at the situation in the room and asked.
Wang Xiancheng said these things, "Peng'er, take a look, help my father think of a way." ”
"Father, this is nothing, I will take people to look for people in a distant village, and thirty or forty people can still find them. However, you can't treat people like this in the future, none of those wooden handles are easy to mess with. Wang Yuanpeng comforted his father.
"Okay, since Peng'er has a way, then I will entrust this matter to you. When you find someone, you can go up and help watch it, this waste, Daddy can't trust him. If we can do it beautifully this time, maybe there will be unexpected benefits in the future. Peng'er has to worry more about her father. Wang Xiancheng is very pleased, although this son is fooling around on the street on weekdays, he is also capable when he is serious.
Wang Yuanpeng thought about it for a while, anyway, there hasn't been much excitement recently, so it's better to go to the mountains to help a group of fathers. Although he was the eldest son in the family, he was not the best in the family. There are also two younger brothers in the family, born to one of his father's concubines. Those two took the path of studying for the imperial examination, if they were admitted to fame, I am afraid that my father would not look down on him even more in the future. For the sake of future interests, I should help my father do more now.
This Wang Yuanpeng is indeed a mess, but he is not stupid, and he sees many things more thoroughly than others. That's why he helped figure out a way to do this today. "Daddy, don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in his son. Daddy, it's time for you to go to the county office, don't delay the hour. ”
Wang Xiancheng nodded, got up and walked out, "Peng'er, then everything will be entrusted to you." This waste, you can still understand some of the mountain field, if you don't understand anything, just look for him. With that, he left.
Wang Yuanpeng sent his father out, and then took Yu Hai out, they had to find people quickly, otherwise the work in the mountain field would be delayed.
It's just that the time is indeed a little late, and many wooden handles have already been set up with other mountain farms, or have already gone up the mountain. They searched for a long time, that is, they barely found a dozen people.
Sun Changhai twisted his waist and raised it at home for a long time, but the family was a little unhappy. Originally, when Zhengsong was at home, the two of them went out to earn money, and they earned a lot. Sun Changhai's wife, Wu, has developed a habit of eating, drinking, and using flowers, but she refuses to save them. Even the children in the family are the same, especially the two sons who are studying, and they spend a lot of money.
Although Sun Changhai and his son brought back more than 150 taels of silver in the summer, these two sons studied in the county seat. If you have to pay for it, and your food and accommodation are also in the county, the cost is not small. In addition, the two of them are extravagant, and they go out to the restaurant at every turn, which costs money like running water.
On this day, the two brothers hired a carriage and returned home. When the two entered the door, they shouted, "Mother, hurry up and get the money, we hired a car to come back, and the driver is still waiting outside." ”
When Wu saw that the two sons were back, his face smiled, "Ah, it's the second and third children who are back, hurry up, come and sit on the kang." Why did you come back at this time? Still have a car? ”
The second child Zhengbai was a little impatient, "Mother, don't ask me about these things first?" Give me the money first, and I'll send the coachman." ”
When Wu heard this, he hurriedly came out of the house and went outside. I saw a carriage parked in front of my house. This carriage is not a flatbed carriage like a farmer's house, but it has a carport on it. "Ah, these two boys, why did you hire such a good car to come back?" Wu muttered in his heart.
Wu stepped forward and asked the coachman, "Dare to ask the little brother, how much is your fare?" ”
The person driving the car looked at the Wu family, and wondered a little in his heart, just now those two little boys were dressed gorgeously and didn't look like ordinary people, why did they come to the door of such a farmer at this time? And this woman looks like a peasant woman. Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, he still said the price, "This aunt, the two young masters hired my carriage, and we agreed at that time, from the county seat to here, a total of six dollars of silver." ”
When Wu heard this, he almost jumped up, "What? Six coins of silver, why don't you go and grab it. From the county to here, we usually take a car, and one person is only a dozen dollars. Why did you come to you and become six pieces of silver? In Wu's heart, he decided that this person was bullying his son's young age and deceiving his son.
"This aunt, why are you talking so ugly? My car is in the county town, but it is the grandmother of those big families. Look at this, even the stools are covered with brocade, and the bottom is covered with fox skins, even ordinary big families, and there is no carriage like me. Lying in the car in the winter, I don't feel cold at all. The coachman glanced at Wu with contempt.
"If you can't sit still, why didn't you say it in the first place? I explained it to the two young masters, and they said that it was okay and that they would give the money when they came back. From the county seat to here, more than 120 miles, are you willing to come? If it weren't for the fact that the two young masters didn't look like the ones who slammed the door, I wouldn't have come. If you don't want to pay, okay, call those two guys, and I'll just pull them back. The coachman was not used to the Wu family, and shouted at the Wu family.
At this time, Zhengbai also came out of the house, with an impatient face, "Mother, what are you grinding here?" We're all hungry, you hurry up and give people money, and then we can cook for us, and we're starving. ”
