The county lieutenant of Miluo glanced at the county magistrate, seeing that he did not interfere with his intentions, and hurriedly said: "The only way now is to temporarily gather the township warriors and disperse the crowd here."

However, there are thousands of people gathered here, and it is useless if there are few villagers, at least three hundred people must be gathered, and it is a temporary conscription, and it is a festival period, how can one person have to pay ten taels of silver for the hard work, right?

Xu Chang Qingming knew that the price that the county lieutenant said was blackmail, but at this moment, he didn't have the strength to distinguish, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll pay this money, please trouble the county lieutenant to quickly gather the township to disperse the crowd." ”

The Miluo County Lieutenant smiled, and said in his heart: "I will gather thirty township warriors in a while, and one person will give two taels of silver, and the remaining two thousand nine hundred and forty taels will go into his pocket, and today's trip is not in vain." ”

He naturally didn't know that the county magistrate knocked Xu Changqing 500,000 taels at one time, and in the matter of extorting rich households, the pattern of the county lieutenant was much smaller than the county magistrate, he patted his chest and said: "The county magistrate, Xu Yuanwai, you two rest assured, give me two quarters of an hour, and I will be able to disperse this gang of people!"

Seeing Miluo County Lieutenant leaving with high spirits, Xu Changqing felt a little more settled in his heart, and saw Miluo County Ling looking at him with a smile, Xu Changqing felt a little chilling, he knew that today was not so good, and he still needed to prepare some back-ups, just in case.

Xu Changqing hurriedly walked to the distance, called the chief butler of the Xu Mansion and another steward, and instructed the chief steward to go to the Huang Mansion to invite Shantongzi and Huang Xuan, and instructed the steward to inform the eldest prince Xu Heyuan to be sure to trap Xu Changze at home and wait for him to go back.

The chief housekeeper and steward hurriedly walked towards the side door of the ancestral hall, the main entrance of the ancestral hall blocked the people waiting for the zongzi and clothes, and only the side door could barely squeeze out.

Xu Changqing saw the back of the two leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief, although in his heart he was reluctant to invite Shan Tongzi, because the price of asking Shan Tongzi to make a move every time was too great, but in today's situation, if there is no immortal present to suppress it, I don't know what chaos will happen.

At this time, the medicinal effect of the Red Blood Pill finally passed completely, Xu Changqing intuitively sweated like pulp, and there was a feeling of collapse, but the feeling of heart discomfort just now had disappeared for most of the time, and he finally carried this wave over, thinking about the domineering of the Red Blood Pill, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.

The auspicious time is almost here, Xu Changqing didn't have time to change his clothes, so he could only touch his handkerchief and wipe the sweat beads on his forehead and back of his neck, tidy up his appearance a little, and he couldn't behave too embarrassed for a while.

As the saying goes: "Blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not alone!"

Before Xu Changqing could clean up, he saw Tan Da Tan Er, the two masters he had hired with a lot of money, helping Xu Heyuan to walk over quickly, and the steward who had just been sent to inform Xu Heyuan and his second housekeeper were also following behind the three of them.

Xu Changqing only felt dizzy in heaven and earth, could it be that something happened at home?

Xu Heyuan looked very embarrassed, there was a lot of mud and torn places on his outer robe, and there was also a lot of mud and bruises on his face, which was much more embarrassed than when he left Xu's mansion.

Of course, there is an element of his own deliberately pretending to be pitiful here, but in order to squeeze into the side door of the Xu family ancestral hall, he was still squeezed half to death by the crowd, if it wasn't for the two bodyguards who found him and rescued him from the crowd, I'm afraid he is still blocking outside the side door.

Xu Changqing took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice: "Heyuan, why are you here?

Xu Heyuan broke away from the two bodyguards, crawled to his father's feet and said, "Father, I have already stabilized Uncle Nine at home, but he actually sent people to distribute 30,000 rice dumplings and clothes for free outside Tianwen Wharf, our house and the ancestral hall, of course I know the great relationship."

Of course, I want to leave them to deal with the government's questioning, but Uncle Nine's bodyguard is very powerful, I am not an opponent, and I was injured by him, so I had to retreat here to move the rescuers. ”

Xu Changqing had already expected this result, he had already regained his composure at this time, and said in a deep voice: "What ninth uncle? Xu Changze is an old horseman, he had to ignore the interests of the family back then, and he dared to frame our Xu family like this when he came back this time, he really should have broken the corpse into pieces, and the others have already left?"

Xu Heyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "It shouldn't have gone far, it is estimated that they are going to go, and they are also taking the waterway, the waterway is busy today, now go to Tianwen Wharf to intercept it, it should be able to stop them!"

Xu Changqing said: "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Heyuan, there is no need for so many guards here, you take your Eight King Kongs away, and I will send Tan Da Tan Er to you, you must arrest Xu Changze's old horseman back for me, this black pot our Xu family can't carry on his back!"

Xu Heyuan's eyes showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said: "Father, don't worry, I will take people to chase them, and I will definitely not let that old man run away!"

After speaking, Xu Heyuan took Tan Da Tan Er to find his Eight King Kongs, preparing to go back to take revenge.

Xu Changqing turned his head to look at the second housekeeper and steward again, and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell the masters of our family that the bodyguards, guards and servants of each family are gathered, and cooperate with the county lieutenant to disperse the crowd outside the ancestral hall, and detain all the people who distribute things to me!"

Tell those uncles again, if you don't want the Xu family to destroy the family today, don't hide your secrets, but if you don't do anything today, I will kill him before Xu Changqing is unlucky!"

The second housekeeper and the steward heard the murderous aura in the old man's tone, and hurriedly turned around and ran over to the group of Changzi old men who were crowded together and laughed, and didn't know that the matter was serious.

Not long after, those old men of the Changzi generation rushed to find their subordinates to arrange the gathering of manpower as if they had blown up the pot, Xu Changqing looked at this group of rabble, and felt sad in his heart.

If Lao Jiu didn't have such a big grudge against the family, judging from his clever means of revenge against the Xu family today, he would definitely be a talent who assisted and far-reaching, but unfortunately now that his face has been torn, there is no more brotherhood to talk about.

After Xu Changqing arranged these, he saw that the auspicious time was approaching, and walked slowly towards the Miluo County Order, there was already so much chaos, and the Dragon Boat Festival memorial activities could not go wrong anymore, he had to keep an eye on it himself.

Everything that happened just now, although the Miluo County Order was not nearby, but he had been watching coldly from a distance, he knew that the Xu family was framed today, but he didn't plan to meddle, and he was grateful to the person he didn't know, because of his reasons, he was able to take the opportunity to knock a large amount of money from the Xu family.

At this time, the auspicious clock rang, Miluo County Ling and Xu Changqing as if nothing had happened just now, and became a model of the official and civilian family, the two entered the main hall of the Xu family ancestral hall together, and other officials and gentry and villagers also entered the main hall of the ancestral hall one after another according to their ranks.

Nearly 160 people entered the main hall of the Xu family ancestral hall, and more people could only line up under the steps outside the hall, they were not qualified to attend the hall, but they could participate in the Dragon Boat Festival memorial activities in the courtyard square of the Xu family ancestral hall, which was also an honor for them.

The market outside the ancestral hall of the Xu family is still noisy, but the leading figures in the square and the main hall have entered the state at this time, and everyone listens to the noise outside and devotes themselves to the ceremony.

Today's memorial process is that the Xu family has improved and enriched the original memorial activities, which is more solemn and magnificent.

It's just that many people in the Xu family, who are half of the main family today, are absent-minded at the moment and don't show much excitement, and everyone has completed the whole process in accordance with the memorial process.

This memorial event ended in a strange and awkward atmosphere, which seemed to have a good effect, but it always gave people a sense of fly in the ointment, and the effect was far lower than everyone's expectations.

As soon as the memorial ceremony was over here, the noisy noise outside had turned into a cry, and the people in the ancestral hall of the Xu family knew that it was the county lieutenant and the Xu family's servant who was dispersing the crowd, and it seemed that the means were a little stronger, so the crying was very loud.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that someone had begun to maintain order, and it seemed that the situation would not deteriorate further today.

At this time, it was almost noon, the sun in Jingxiang in May was already very scorching, and the mood of the people in the Xu family ancestral hall began to improve.

They were waiting for the servants of the Xu family to set up tables and chairs in the main hall of the ancestral hall and the square in the courtyard, and the next highlight was the birthday banquet for the sixtieth birthday of Lord Xu Changqing.

Today's Dragon Boat Festival memorial activities are the leading figures in Miluo County, and they are all guests of the Xuchang Qing Birthday Banquet, and there are no less than 1,500 guests invited to this birthday banquet today.

After all, an event that gathers more than 1,000 people must be reported to the Yuezhou Government for approval before it can be held, and if it is just for a squire's birthday banquet, it will not be approved.

Xuchang Qing sixty sixtieth birthday banquet can gather 1,500 guests at a time, but also the result of taking advantage of the situation, no one can follow this scale of the grand event in the future, this birthday banquet will definitely leave a strong mark on the Miluo County Chronicles.

Xu Changqing seemed a little absent-minded at this time, Shan Tongzi and Huang Xuan had not yet arrived, he felt very anxious, one of these two represented the official power behind the Xu family, and the other represented the mysterious and unpredictable power of cultivation.

It's just that these two people don't come on weekdays, even if the Dragon Boat Festival memorial activities don't come, it won't make people feel abrupt, but if these two people don't appear at Xu Changqing's birthday banquet, it will make people doubt the relationship between them and the Xu family, and it will be a weakening of the Xu family's strength.

The servants of the Xu family naturally don't know what their masters think, they are quick with their hands and feet, and the speed of laying tables and chairs is very fast, these days the servants of the Xu Mansion have trained countless times for this conference, and the results are naturally good.

After the one hundred and sixty tables and chairs were placed neatly, the crying outside the ancestral hall of the Xu family still did not weaken much, Xu Changqing and Miluo County Ling frowned unconsciously, and said in their hearts that these people are really unreliable, and they haven't done it for so long.

Just now, you can ignore the noise outside, but when the birthday banquet is about to start, should all the guests eat with crying?
