Chapter 100: county lieutenant

Chapter 100 County Captain

Last time his father took the initiative to sell a few old houses at the end of the village to the Qin Guluotian family, Mr. Lu sent Shuan Da to their house and scolded his father.

Na Shuanda was just a servant of the Lu family. Not only did he scold his father, but he also warned his father that if he dared to make any arbitrary decisions next time, his family would not be able to sign up for the imperial examination in the future.

Village Chief He had been oppressed by the Lu family for so many years and wanted to stand up, so he supported his eldest grandson He Jinsheng to study. He thought that in a few years, when Jinsheng's knowledge would improve more, he would let Jinsheng take the examination for merit.

 But the Lu family passed such words to their family, which really cut off their way of turning the He family around.

He Dacang thought of his son He Jinsheng, and advised Village Chief He with some embarrassment: "Dad, you have to think about Jinsheng."

Jin Sheng has studied for so many years and has good knowledge. If he is really manipulated by the Lu family and cannot take the exam, his life will be over.

Village Chief He was also very embarrassed when he thought about his eldest grandson Jinsheng. Although he didn't want to work as a thug for the Lu family, the He family was just a bunch of bastards, and the most promising person in the family was him, the village chief. Apart from him, every one of the He family was foraging in the fields, and there was no way they could go against the Lu family.

"Alas..." Village Chief He sighed, folded his cotton-padded jacket, and said, "Wait a little longer."

 Let’s delay for half an hour.

He Dacang heard what Village Chief He said and didn't urge him any further. Their family often used the word drag, and although the Lu family was angry, as long as their family finally settled the matter, the Lu family would not be able to find any fault.

 …

At Gu Jinli's house, the villagers of Dafeng Village were still crowding around their yard to watch the excitement. The old house was noisy. Lu Laosan was **** hand and foot and sat back to back with the servants and a few gangsters on the ground.

Lu Laosan felt embarrassed, but he was still not afraid. Instead, he stared at several families with disdain. In his eyes, Qin Guluotian and his family were already dead if they dared to kidnap him.

Two servants of the Lu family even scratched their necks and cursed at several families: "You Diaomin, you are finished. When the county police officer comes, you will be **** and sent to prison."

 Gu Jinli sneered when he heard this: "Cool people? Two servants with slave status actually called good people unruly people. It's really funny. You are not even citizens."

She was not polite to them either. She and Qin Sanlang raised their sticks and beat the two scolding servants with a few bangs until they screamed. After the painful beatings, they became more honest.

He Dacai and the others originally wanted to start a scolding with the Lu family's servants, but when they saw Gu Jin and Qin Sanlang fighting, they were afraid and did not dare to curse.

Lu Laosan was very angry when he saw it, and yelled loudly: "You still dare to hit people! OK, OK, wait, you wait for me, when the county government officials come, I, the Lu family, will make sure you look good!"

Gu Jinli said: "If you come to rob a good citizen's property without any reason, I'll hit you lightly."

Shang Xiucai was not a pedantic person. Hearing Gu Jinli's words, he did not scold him, but nodded and said: "My little benefactor is right. According to the criminal law of Dachu, anyone who comes to rob a good citizen's property without any reason can be regarded as a bandit and can be killed by the common people. "

When Lu Laosan heard what Shang Xiucai said, he became even more angry and continued to ask Shang Xiucai: "Xiucai, who is your last name? Why do you want to help these unruly people?"

Shang Xiucai knew that Lu Laosan was trying to find out his identity, so he ignored Lu Laosan and only said: "Sages have taught you that people who read should ask for orders for the people and should not associate with bullies and villains."

"Bah! Bullshit saint." Lu Laosan was completely angry: "You are the poor scholar who forced me to do this. When the county government officials come, they will arrest you too."

Ah Jiu was angry when he heard this and wanted to talk back, but was stopped by Shang Xiucai: "There is no need to waste words with such a villain."

Lu Laosan was very angry: "Poor scholar, who do you think is a villain?!"

 “Hey, the government officials are here, the government officials are here!”

Before Lu Laosan could finish his words, the villagers surrounding the courtyard started shouting and then moved out of the way. After a while, four government officials wearing cyan with red trim, with the word "catching" embroidered on their hearts and backs, wearing black turbans on their heads, and sabers hanging on their waists, rushed into the yard of Gu Jinli's house aggressively.

As soon as Lu Laosan saw the four government officials, he immediately shouted: "Lao Kong, Dasheng, arrest these families quickly. They innocently beat officials and relatives, arrest them quickly and put them in jail." go."

He babbled again and said to Shang Xiucai: "There is also this poor scholar, arrest him too. This scholar didn't know where he came from, but he helped these unscrupulous people to murder me."

Lu Laosan was very happy. He knew all four of these government officials. They were from Silifang in the town. Whenever he saw him, he would address him as Third Master.

Several families were frightened when they heard what Lu Laosan said. Lu Laosan is still acquainted with these government officials, so can these government officials arrest Lu Laosan?

 You won’t turn around and catch them, right?

 But the four government officials ignored Lu Laosan. Instead, they walked up to Shang Xiucai and asked, "I heard from Lao Luo that something happened to you here?"

Shang Xiucai nodded and pointed to Lu Laosan: "The Lu family, in the name of the county's adults, took the gangsters to the good people's houses to **** the prescriptions. I happened to catch them. Let me take care of business."

When the four government officials heard this, they immediately turned around and grabbed Lu Laosan and the others: "Be honest and come with us to the county."

Lu Laosan was shocked. He looked at the four government officials and said, "Lao Kong, Dasheng, are you crazy? Why are you arresting me? Go arrest those unruly people."

The leader, Lao Kong, said: "Master Lu, we are just doing business. If you have anything to say, we can wait until we get to the county government to talk about it."

 Gu Jinli heard what Lao Kong said and knew that Lao Kong was still afraid of Lu Laosan, but it was obvious that the scholar had a greater background, so Lao Kong chose to take Lu Laosan away and hand the matter over to the county government.

Lu Laosan became anxious and shouted: "What did you say? Do you really want to arrest me? Do you know that I am Lu Sanye, the brother-in-law of the county magistrate!"

No matter what Lu Laosan called, Lao Kong and the others still wanted to take them to the county.

The Lu family has been sending people to watch outside the Gu family's yard. When they saw the town government officials coming, they did not arrest the Qin Gu Luotian family, but wanted to arrest Lu Laosan, so they hurriedly went to notify Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu hurriedly brought his ten servants and all the Lu family members, surrounded the courtyard of the Gu family, pointed at Lao Kong and the others and said, "How dare you, please let my third son go!"

The Lu family members started shouting: "Let us Lu family go quickly, otherwise the county magistrate will blame us and you will have to walk around without food."

Although the Lu family is not as large as the He family, there are still about thirty households. Everyone came, and there are more than a hundred people, which is enough to surround the Gu family and prevent the four government officials from leaving.

Village Chief He learned that Mr. Lu had brought the Lu family members to stop the government officials. He was afraid that something would happen and that the Lu family would be blamed, so he hurried over with the He family members.

 For a time, the whole end of the village was in chaos. Not only did the yamen officials leave, but even their voices were drowned out by the shouts of the villagers.

 Lao Kong hurriedly asked Shang Xiucai: "Master Xiu Cai, what should I do if I can't get out?" Even if the four of them went together, they would not be able to defeat hundreds of villagers.

"Let's talk about it first." Shang Xiucai could only ask Lao Kong to **** Lu Laosan and others back to the courtyard of his home.

At the moment when they were in a dilemma, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of neat running suddenly came towards the end of the village.

After a while, five tall horses rushed into the end of the village and stopped directly behind the Lu family and the He family. The leader of the maroon horse was a strong old man wearing a black and red official uniform, official boots, and holding a riding whip. He shouted loudly: He yelled angrily: "Get out of the way, anyone who dares to surround my good son-in-law, I will put him in jail and let him taste what it's like to be in prison!"
