Chapter 23: The Earthquake in the Township (2)
Zhuqiao Village, this village is not too big.
acres of land, a total of about 600 acres.
The number of households is also about 100 in total.
A family of about five or six people, a total of five or six hundred people in a small village.
In such a small village, once something happens, it can immediately spread throughout the village.
For example, the horse widow in the west of the village stole people, and this matter was bumped into by the king prawn, and the king prawn immediately spread it all over the village for her.
For another example, the old man Ma in the east of the village fell and fell so much that he couldn't walk for a few days, and he immediately spread all over the village.
Now, Zhou Dafu, a tyrant in the village, has actually fallen!
Such earth-shattering news was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the people in the village were shocked.
"What did you say?" The old man Ma in the east of the village smoked a dry cigarette: "You say, that kid from the He family, remember to call him He Xuan, right, he has only been a soldier for a year, what kind of general banner has he been?
"yes. Wang Da Prawn said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I went to He's house to ask, and they all said that He Xuan became the chief banner, and he was the military attache of the seventh grade." No matter how powerful Zhou Papi is, he is just a bully in the village. Do you still want to compare with the real seven-grade officials? This week, I don't know what to do, but I provoked He Xuan, what happened, as soon as He Xuan went to the county office, the county government immediately came to thoroughly investigate the matter of Zhou Peeling, and immediately found out that he had killed Zhao Xia and Li Liniang. At this moment, Zhou Peel is completely finished. ”
Zhao Xia's mother, when she heard this, couldn't help but cry. In fact, she also knew that her daughter's disappearance had something to do with Zhou Papi.
However, she has no definite evidence, so what can she do if she knows? I heard that Zhou Papi has a relationship with the county government, and it is impossible for her, a poor family, to sue Zhou Papi at all.
Now, He Xuan has taken down Zhou Papi, which can be regarded as avenging her daughter's revenge.
"This soldier, is it really so fast?" said Zhao Da next to him, his parents died early and grew up with his uncle. His uncle and aunt didn't give him much to eat, but he had nothing to do to go to the mountains to hunt, so he had a good skill: "If I had gone to the border to serve as a soldier a year ago, wouldn't I have been able to become a general banner and a general." In this case, wouldn't it be a lot of money? ”
"Big Zhao, you also think too much. It's not that no one in our village has ever been a soldier, and it's so easy to get out of the way. You still want you to be a general. Wang Da Prawn crossed his waist and smiled and opened his big head.
"There are no people in our village and other villages who go to serve as soldiers, and they are mixed into seven-rank military generals. On the contrary, a large number of people died on the border. As a soldier, he stepped into the door of life and death. When the horse widow mentioned this, her eyes burst into tears. She had a good life, but her husband went to serve in the army, and within two years the news of his death came, and she became a widow.
"The He family is really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue, and he couldn't go on anymore, so he had to sell his land, and finally let the second son go to be a soldier, but the second son fought hard to get a background. Old man Ma smoked a dry cigarette and said: "He got rid of Zhou Papi, which is also good for us, without such a skin-sucking blood, our life can be much better." ”
"yes. ”
"He Xuan was raised by us, so he shouldn't bully us. One by one, the villagers had happy smiles on their faces.
Sometimes, they want to be satisfied, it's as simple as that.
......
The east end of Zhuqiao Village.
He family.
The He family is eating.
This time, the He family's food was much higher, and He Xuan went home and bought six catties of meat.
"The meat, it's so fragrant. He Qi took a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, but he didn't eat it for a long time, but put it between his nose and sniffed it, and only took a bite when he smelled about it. Then, a sense of satisfaction bloomed in her eyes: "It's so delicious, this day is like the New Year." ”
This girl, if she has meat to eat, it is the New Year.
However, the He family is still in a good situation, and the family has their own fields. A large number of farmers, in fact, may not be able to afford to eat meat even during the Chinese New Year.
At this moment, a female voice came from outside the hospital: "Excuse me, is He Zongqi at home?"
Everyone in the He family has been quite sensitive to the general flag these days, and as soon as they heard the three words of He Zongqi, they all looked at He Xuan.
He Xuan was waiting for the rice to be imported, and put down the chopsticks helplessly: "Which one?"
As he spoke, he looked out the door.
The houses in the countryside are not very big, and if you sit inside the hall, you can also see the outside.
Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman dressed in blue satin, ordinary in appearance, but with fair skin, obviously no farm work, and a silver hairpin on her head. This person is Zhou Papi's wife, Du Shi.
"Oh, you're looking for me?" He Xuan didn't greet her to sit down at all, and asked straight to the point.
Du Shi nodded: "Zhou Dafu committed the crime of murder and was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, which is also a crime." And our Zhou family, I didn't know the identity of He Zongqi before, and I was really sorry for offending He Zongqi. Therefore, some people in our Zhou family discussed it and decided to compensate He Zongqi. ”
She said, pulling out a large stack of papers.
He Xuan took it and saw that it was all stamped field wedges, and it looked like two hundred acres after a little counting, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Huh, your Zhou family is really willing." You have a total of 500 acres of land, the original compensation to me is 100 acres, and now you will lose 200 acres, and your Zhou family only has 200 acres left. Your Zhou family's loss is great. ”
"We offended the general flag, and this is some apology. Du Shi said respectfully, she also knew that if she didn't get this He Zongqi done, she was afraid that the county government would not let her go. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but scold Zhou Dafu, who was imprisoned in prison, for daring to take the initiative to pick a seven-rank military general of the imperial court, where did he get the courage.
"Your Zhou family is so sincere, so let's forget about it. He Xuan nodded.
Du Shi heard that He Xuan agreed to eliminate this grievance, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he flashed with joy: "Thank you Mr. He, thank you Mr. He." ”
She thanked her for a while, and when she saw that He Xuan was about to start eating again, she immediately retired.
And the top and bottom of the He family watched this scene in amazement.
In the past, they were mixed with each other, and for so many years, not a single acre of land was added, and it was all eight acres of land passed down from their ancestors.
And He Xuan, who just earned a hundred acres of land two days ago, has now changed hands and earned two hundred acres of land. Earning a field, I don't know how easy it is.
Is this the general banner of the seven military generals of the imperial court, the power of this official position?
He Xuan took out 100 acres from the 200 acres of field wedges and handed them to He Ming, his father: "Father, this field wedge is for you, and the other 100 acres are of some use to me." ”
He Ming was still confused now, and of course nodded again and again.
(Something happened yesterday, so I just updated a chapter, sorry.) There will be three new chapters today, and this is the first update. )
