Chapter 035: Didn't you see me being beaten
Early in the morning, the sky was still bright, and hundreds of sturdy men gathered in front of the compound of the Lu Mansion.
They all held sticks in their hands, and when the big housekeeper gave the order, they rushed towards Qujia Village.
Today's Qujia Village is also particularly lively, knowing that the Lu family has recovered the lost snow clam paste, the crisis is lifted, and the villagers are happy.
Li is discussing with everyone that some people will go to Wei's house to help take care of the funeral, and the rest of the vacated people will help Aunt Niu's family build a house.
Although Qu Lao Liu is not a thing, but the orphans and widows who stay at home do not even have a place to live, everyone can't bear to look at them, and no one refuses Lizheng's arrangement.
Wei has always been a warm-hearted person, buried his daughter early, and when he returned to the village, he instructed his neighbors to help Aunt Niu's family build a house, and he took Qu A'a to prepare for home.
Qu A'a was a little relieved that Liu Siniang's mother and son wanted to visit the poor mother and son first.
Wei hesitated to agree to Xiao Douding's request, but before he entered the door of Qu Cong's house, he heard an endless stream of footsteps ringing around.
The mother and daughter looked back and saw a dense crowd of figures rushing in from the narrow entrance of the village.
"It's someone from the Lu family."
Qu A'a saw the annoying butler of the Lu family yesterday in the crowd.
"Ah Niang, do they want to bully Ah Si Sister again?"
Qu A'a asked with a flustered expression.
Wei frowned, and his heart became up.
She knew that it was impossible for so many people to come for a widow, so she hurriedly bent down and whispered, "Aah, you go to Aunt Niu's house to invite Grandpa Lizheng." ”
Qu A'a knew that these villains were definitely not dealt with by Grandpa Lizheng.
She instantly thought of the big sister of the Lu family.
At this time, I'm afraid that only she can help Qujia Village.
Nodding to his mother, Qu Ah Ah told unhurriedly: "Ah Niang, you go to Ah Si Sister's house to hide." ”
Then, he disappeared into the jungle not far away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wei Shi saw that something was wrong, this was not the way to Aunt Niu's house, and he was trying to catch up, but the people of the Lu family had already surrounded him at this time.
"Before sunset today, everyone must be driven out of the village, and no family will be allowed to stay in the village."
Steward Lu waved his hand, and hundreds of strong men immediately scattered.
"Butler Lu, what do you mean, hasn't the snow clam paste that our village owes to the Lu Mansion already made up?"
Wei didn't care about his daughter's advice, and went directly to reason with others.
"Make it up? Did you make up for it in your village? That's what our second young lady found. ”
Steward Lu glanced sideways at the Qu Cong family at the entrance of the village, and said sharply: "Wei Niangzi, don't blame me for not reminding me, you should leave with the pair of orphans and widows inside, and some people will complain that we bullied the orphans and widows when we can save it." ”
"Leave? This is our home, where does the housekeeper want us to go? ”
Wei was dissatisfied, and argued: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Lu family is so blind that they are not afraid of causing the anger of the Son of Heaven by causing the people to be angry?" ”
"You don't scare me with the Son of Heaven."
Steward Lu said angrily: "My Lu family is loyal to the Son of Heaven, if it weren't for you Diao people to get in the way, how could my Lu family even pay tribute to the Son of Heaven." ”
At this moment, Li Zheng and nearby villagers rushed over after hearing the news.
Seeing that Wei was theorizing with the Lu family, Li Zheng staggered to the two of them on crutches, and shouted again and again.
"Steward Lu, why is this so, there are hundreds of families in the village, where do you let everyone settle down like this."
"That's your business."
Steward Lu sneered: "A group of ungrateful things, you ask yourself, if there is no Lu family, how can you have such a comfortable life, and you actually collude with outsiders to be unfavorable to the Lu family, and today's fate is also your own fault." ”
"The snow clam paste is originally from our Qujia Village, and it is our own right to sell it to whomever we want to sell, and it is illegal for you Lu Jiaqiang to buy and sell it."
Qu Mian said indignantly.
"You don't even have a single hair and dare to talk to me about Fadu?"
Steward Lu glared at him, and shouted at the little guys behind him: "Whoever dares to disobey today, will beat me and beat me to death." ”
"Fellow villagers, uncles, this is our own home, how can others spread the wilderness here."
Although Qu Mian is young, he is not afraid of things, and when he saw that the Lu family still wanted to come hard, he immediately encouraged everyone: "The Lu family doesn't give us a way to live, and we must not let them have a good time, we will fight with them today." ”
As soon as the words fell, many light and strong people responded.
The two groups of people suddenly scuffled together.
There are also some people who are watching the excitement and thinking about Qu Guan's words, and the anger in their hearts is also soaring.
Although the snow clams in Qujia Village have been multiplied on a large scale by relying on the Lu family's silver, in the final analysis, this is indeed a thing of Qujia Village, not the private property of the Lu family.
With this in mind, more and more villagers joined the revolt.
Steward Lu originally brought hundreds of people here, but many of them had already dispersed, how could the strong men who stayed at the entrance of the village withstand the torrent of anger, and a moment's effort was washed away.
Qu Mian and several sharp-eyed teenagers looked at the figure of the butler Lu and squeezed in directly, punching and kicking the thief.
"Ouch, hey, you guys don't have long eyes, don't you see that I'm being beaten."
Steward Lu screamed in pain, and struggled to crawl out in the chaos of fists and feet.
Li Zheng looked at this situation and frowned deeply.
The Lu family is the number one imperial merchant in the Dayue Dynasty, subordinate to the palace internal affairs office, and inherits the official title of a first-class Guanglu doctor, and properly fights between the people and the officials.
Not to mention that the snow clam paste paid by the Lu family is originally a filial piety to the Son of Heaven, and with the support of the celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, if you really want to make trouble, the ownership of the snow clam paste is only a matter of the Son of Heaven's words.
On the contrary, today's villagers rebelled against the Lu family, and if it attracted the government, it would be even more unreasonable.
He hurriedly approached Wei's and muttered in a low voice: "Wei Niangzi, I'm afraid it won't end well if this trouble continues, you immediately rush to the Lu family to invite the second young lady to come, and now only she can help our Qujia Village." ”
Wei still hasn't figured out why the young lady of the Lu family is so close to herself and Ah A, she has a feeling of familiarity at first sight, and she is going to trouble her again, she can't erase this feeling.
But seeing that the situation on the field was becoming more and more chaotic, and then thinking back to the direction of Ah A's departure, she was afraid that she also went to the Lu family, she was anxious, so she had to respond to Li Zheng's request, and rushed towards the Lu family in a hurry to find Ah A's footsteps.
......
Qu A'a was not familiar with places outside Qujia Village, and he almost got lost after wandering around in the woods for a long time.
Just when she was at a loss, she saw a familiar figure in the woods.
"Brother Cong."
Qu A'a shouted happily.
Seeing that the two holes on his body had been repaired, and he had changed into clean clothes, the whole person looked much cleaner.
She excitedly moved closer to Qu Cong.
But before he got close, the jade plate on his chest emitted a dazzling golden light.
She was so anxious that she was about to take it off, but Qu Cong hurriedly stopped: "Don't pick it." ”
Qu A'a thought about the words of the eldest sister, and instantly dispelled the thought.
"You follow me, and I'll take you to find your sister."
Qu Cong did not tell her that the young lady of the Lu family was her own sister, but only silently guided her in front.
