Porridge and side dishes [farming]
Chapter 112 Solving 2 Shovels
The corners of the house have been tidied up again and again, trying to make room for more things.
Recently, I even cook a lot more every day, especially the dishes that take up a lot of space. I just want to eat them as soon as possible, so as to make room for the things sent by the county magistrate.
Now Li Ji has experienced the troubles of being rich.
In the past, when I was poor and had nothing, not even a decent bowl, I wanted everything I saw, and I couldn't wait to move it into my home when I saw something good.What now?
Of course, I can't wait to have a big yard like the county magistrate, and I can put as much as I want.
How many good things can we be afraid of?
I first put the things that there is really no place for the other party to put on the ground in the house.Underneath was a blanket from the old home.This blanket was placed a year ago, Er Gouzi and Li Ji were only willing to take it out during the hottest days in the summer. They were reluctant to lay the kang, let alone being touched by someone, and now they are directly laid on the floor. Save the good things sent by the county magistrate.
Li Ji squatted on the ground and stretched his neck to look over one by one.
After watching for a while, I sat down and decided.
"Er Gouzi, why don't we dig the ground." Li Ji said.
Er Gouzi didn't understand, tilted his head to look at him and asked with his eyes.
Li Jidao: "We really have no place to put our things. We can't build a big house at this time because we are afraid of people's suspicion. Why don't we just dig an underground house, dig as much as we want, and put as much as we want."
Er Gouzi nodded, deeply feeling that this method is feasible.
With such an idea, Li Ji immediately stood up, went out to find Ge Er, and told him what he thought.
Since you don't want outsiders to know, you can only close the door and dig quietly.How much to dig is decided by the four people in the house.
Hearing this suggestion, Ge Er first thought that Li Ji was smart, and then he also felt that Li Ji's head was active, and he felt everything.
In fact, in the village, cellars are very common.However, they are generally very small, and are generally used to store things that are durable, such as radishes and potatoes.Because the ground is cooler, it can be kept longer.
Unless wars need to be avoided, in times of peace and prosperity, who would think of digging a big cellar to store things?
"It's easy to dig this cellar, but we have few people. If we want to dig a big one, we need pillars for support, otherwise it will easily collapse. The easiest way is to use wood. But unless the wood is made of good wood, it will rot within a few years It's terrible. It's better to use stones or turn heads. But in that case, it will be troublesome to make love. If there are only four of us, even if it is just a cellar as big as our yard, it will take at least one or two years. Kung Fu. Of course, if there are too many people, it should not be discussed.”
Ge Er has more experience, so Li Ji also felt that he was whimsical.It's really that easy there.
"Then let's dig a smaller one first..." Li Ji thought about it, and then said, "Then let's dig a cave on the mountain? The cave on the mother's side has already put a lot of things. Er Gouzi's original cave seems a bit Far away. We can go deeper into the mountain and dig a cave where no one goes in. Digging a cave should be much safer than digging a cellar. Even if we need to make pillars in the cave, we still have time to do it slowly, or simply from a farther place Hire someone to come and make it, and you won’t be afraid that the villagers will find out.”
Ge Er still shook his head: "Small caves are feasible, and the four of us can dig them alternately. But it is unrealistic for larger caves. If you go outside to hire someone, someone who is good will become strangers just because of the money." How can the materials for pillars be transported into the mountains? There are no roads in the mountains, and it is inconvenient for vehicles and horses to travel, so they can only be carried in by people. No matter what It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to move in bit by bit if you turn around the stone.”
Ge Er's words can be said to be very pertinent.
Li Ji just had a flash of spirituality, and he didn't have time to think too carefully.But thanks to Ge Er's quick thinking, he explained this to himself bit by bit.
Li Ji was a little disappointed, and said: "You're right, I didn't think about it. But there's still room for these things... If the county magistrate brings things over again, they won't be able to fit them in the house, so they probably need to be spread on the floor gone."
"Isn't our newly built warehouse usable?" Ge Er asked.
Li Ji nodded: "It can be used, but there is only a broken wooden door, which is not safe. I went back to the city to find a store and ordered an iron one, but at least it will take half a month to get it back."
"It doesn't matter if you put it in first. The warehouse is not used yet, and it is empty for the villagers. Except for some children who go back there to play, who will pay attention to it? It is even less likely that someone will put the empty warehouse. The wooden door was smashed in. Originally, it was only necessary to lock the gates and small doors, but right now, it is safer than a warehouse full of grass.”
A word to wake up the dreamer, Li Ji felt it.
Lian smiled and said: "Why didn't I think of it? I'm still thinking of other ways, isn't there a good way right in front of my eyes? Let's double it in a while and move those that are not really needed in the short term. Go. It won’t work during the day, let’s move tonight.”
Now that he has figured it out, Li Ji won't worry anymore.I hurriedly pulled Er Gouzi to study those things that we don't need.Those that may not be needed for hundreds of years should be moved there first, and those that will not be needed for half a year or several months should also be moved there.Like cotton clothes and quilts, you don’t need them until winter.
Looking at it this way, a lot of space was immediately vacated in the yard.
Just wait for the night, and move over in one go.In the future, the magistrate of the county will not be in a hurry to send anything over.
After working for a long time, I had dinner at night, and no one slept.Drinking tea hangs the spirit.Just waiting for the moon outside to hang in mid-air, and writing can be seen outside, but when there is no light in the village, a group of people packed all the packed things and went out with a wheelbarrow to the new warehouse hide things.
After arriving at the place after a while, Li Ji opened the small door, and a group of people began to move inside.Everyone is careful and try not to make any noise.
Just quietly moved a wheelbarrow into the new warehouse, Er Gouzi stopped suddenly when he was about to go back.
Li Ji was the first to notice Er Gouzi's movements, and holding Er Gouzi's sleeve, he silently asked what was wrong with Er Gouzi.
Er Gouzi put down the handle of the unicycle, and made a silent motion to the other three.
Then turned around and took two steps lightly.
When everyone was quiet and stood there, everyone heard the sound.
Someone is walking, and the sound of the soles rubbing against the ground is a bit loud, which means that this person likes to walk on the ground and cannot lift his feet.
Er Gouzi walked by lightly and hardly made any sound. After being hungry for a while, he heard two low curses, as if he was cursing something, and then heard a few violent metal collisions.
Li Ji heard it immediately, it was someone smashing the lock.
Li Ji was about to speak when he was stopped by Ge Er.Looking at Ge Er blankly, Ge Er shook his head and looked at Er Gouzi.Probably he wanted to tell Li Ji to trust Er Gouzi.
Li Ji nodded, stopped talking, and looked at Er Gouzi intently.
Looking at people under the moonlight is not particularly clear.Er Gouzi looked at the firmness from the back, and he was particularly powerful and reliable at first glance.
Er Gouzi stood in front of everyone as he should, and went to check the unknown things.
Not long after, the lock should have been smashed open.The door opened and people went in.
That was the hay storage warehouse that was built before, and there were only some dry firewood in it. Li Ji couldn't think of anything else to steal, so he ran over in the middle of the night.
It was such a coincidence that Li Ji's family of four came to move things and bumped into each other.
Er Gouzi disappeared when he walked to the delivery place, and Li Ji was still waiting here.
Then he heard the sound of dragging. The man obviously had no strength, and his breathing was a little rough, but he could hear it clearly.
After a while, because it was separated by a warehouse, it happened that I didn't know where it was.The three of Li Ji didn't dare to move easily, for fear that they wouldn't be able to catch them except to scare people away with movement.
Er Gouzi is also patient and curious about what this man wants to do.
The sound of the man dragging did not end, and it seemed that he had walked back and forth a few times, moving the hay out of the warehouse.
Li Ji still couldn't figure out what he was going to do.Those are grass, things that can be seen everywhere on the mountain, what's the use of stealing this?
After waiting for a while, the man was already a little out of breath, and Li Ji finally caught sight of some flames.
The next second, a scream came to mind, and Er Gouzi's voice came.
"who is it!"
Hearing the sound, he knew he was catching someone.
The three rushed over quickly, and when they turned a corner, they first saw a burning fire on the ground. The flame was not big, but it was very conspicuous in the dark night.
Beside Huozhezi, Er Gouzi was pressing a man hard on the ground.
He picked up the fire folder and walked over, squatted down to look carefully, and asked in surprise, "Second shovel?"
This person is none other than the second shovel that I haven't seen for a long time.
Ever since the second shovel's daughter-in-law was taken away by her natal family, the second shovel has been unable to get a wife again.Er Shozi seldom goes out to meet people.Li Ji seldom went to the village, so he hadn't seen the second shovel for a year or two.
In the middle of the night, what is the second shovel doing here?
The second shovel was still struggling violently, twisting his face away so that Li Ji could not see it, his voice was full of panic, and he said in confusion: "You have admitted the wrong person, you have admitted the wrong person, let me go, I have not done anything!"
Er Gouzi gained more strength in his hands, and Er Shozi wailed a lot louder, and he couldn't even talk.
Er Gouzi's face turned cold, and he spoke angrily, "He's going to burn the livestock pen."
Li Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then took a look around the livestock pen with a fire bag.This livestock pen is next to the warehouse. It was built before, so it is convenient to get hay to feed the rabbits at any time, so it is relatively advanced.
Looking at the gate of the livestock pen, there were indeed several large bales of hay piled up.Although the house is built of bricks, the roof is made of straw, which is extremely flammable.
The rabbit cages inside are all made of wicker, which is also easy to put together.If this fire ignites, none of the rabbits here will be able to escape.
The livestock pen at home has already been fully stocked, so the recently raised animals are all placed here.
If all these rabbits were burned to death, Li Ji would have lost at least half of his property.Not only that, this rabbit is still a rabbit breed.Rabbits give birth to rabbits.If they were all gone, it would be impossible to achieve the plan made with the county magistrate in the next two years to provide meat sources for the yamen and the army.
After thinking about it for a long time, the second shovel seemed even more hateful.
It's easy to say, but Er Chanzi actually burned his livestock pen, which not only cut off Li Ji's personal wealth, but also cut off the army and land in the county.
I figured it out before and after, and Li Ji didn't keep any sympathy anymore.
Immediately said coldly: "Er Gouzi, send the helper directly to the village chief's house. Be careful, this matter is not over!"
As soon as Li Ji remembered that he and Er Gouzi had almost lost half of their hard-earned family property overnight, his anger couldn't be suppressed.
Not only is this matter endless, but it is going to make a big fuss.Where there is a second time from the first time.What's more, it's someone like Er Chanzi.
At the beginning, I just said a few words of justice when his daughter-in-law, Chu, was wrong in his family, and I wanted to ask the villagers to help stop the poor daughter-in-law from leaving by relying on my status as a relative.
Li Ji felt sorry for the daughter-in-law, and said a few words to make the villagers change their minds and let the daughter-in-law leave.
As a result, in the next two years, Er Chan's mother and son both held grudges against him.Before that, there were rumors all over the village that Li Jipo had banned dirty water.
Li Ji has never been familiar with them, unless he is looking for them, Li Ji usually can't think of the two of them.
As a result, in the past year, even though they were not harmonious and beautiful, at least they were in harmony with each other, and they couldn't even talk at ordinary times.
What kind of enmity is this for Er Chanzi to come over in the middle of the night to order the livestock pen at Li Ji's house?
If the second shovel was more frenzied and directly ordered Li Ji's house, how could the family of four still survive?
If you don't pursue it this time, just let it go.Baobuqi, the next time the second shovel is in a bad mood, let's go to Li Ji's house and order it.
The more I think about it, the more scared I become.
Thanks to the kindness of God, they happened to meet each other, and they just waited to seize the opportunity this time, so that they would not be afraid of changing later.
I was glad in my heart that I took a short circuit and gradually woke up from my anger.
These two shovels may not really have any deep hatred with their own family. What they did today was probably because of the previous conflict.
The real reason is that Li Ji's life is getting better and better recently.Otherwise, if he really just wants to vent his anger, Li Ji still has his old house.How could Li Ji's fortune be cut off first?
The contradiction is just an inducement, the real reason is that the second shovel looks down on Li Ji, but Li Ji's life is getting better and better.Er Chanzi, mother and son tried their best to find a new wife, but Li Ji refused in every possible way, and had no intention of marrying a wife at all.
In this way, the more comfortable Li Ji's life is, the more unpleasant it will be for Er Chanzi and the others.
Li Ji stopped and couldn't help thinking.The second shovel had an excuse to come over to spoil Li Ji.Those people who have no excuses and are still friendly with Li Ji, will they have similar thoughts?
Just thinking about it made Li Ji break out in a cold sweat.
If this fire starts.Are there more people who came to put out the fire temporarily, or did they watch the fire from the other side or even cheered when they fell into trouble?
Li Ji didn't dare to think deeply and stopped. He looked behind him and reached out to stop Ge Er and Ting Lan.
Waiting for Er Gouzi to walk a little further, Li Ji lowered his voice and said to them, "I will wrong you later to pretend to be villains and make troubles with Master Dao. I don't want to make a fuss, but you can."
This matter must be eradicated. No matter how the village handles it, they will forgive it because they think of "my family".At the most, he would be beaten once in a while, and then locked up in the family temple, just like that Ergua.
So if this matter is to be dealt with thoroughly, the county magistrate has to step in.Li Ji can't take the initiative to declare to the customs, because once Li Ji declares to the customs, the limelight in the village may not be helping him, but there will be voices accusing Li Ji of killing them all, regardless of kinship.
It's like the time when the second shovel's daughter-in-law was sentenced.Er Chanzi's daughter-in-law was beaten and had a miscarriage in the first month, and everyone felt pity for her, but if Er Chanzi's daughter-in-law sued her husband and mother-in-law to the yamen, then everyone would say that she was unfilial, and even the Shanghai she received before would take it for granted. Become what it deserves.
Now Li Ji is facing the same situation.If he is not a high-ranking official, the villagers will stand by his side to attack the second shovel.But in line with the principle of staying on the line in everything, he will definitely not be punished too much.
But once Li Ji goes to the customs to make things worse, he will become a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and even what the second shovel did will become "too much bullied", so he will be understood.
Of course Ge Er and Ting Lan understood what Li Ji meant.What came out of the house, to them, this kind of thing is nothing more than pediatrics.
All the way to the village chief's house.
At this time, the village chief and his wife were soundly asleep.Hearing the movement, he put on his clothes and went out, yawning with sleepy eyes and complaining.
"Why? This is in the middle of the night. If there is anything you can't wait until dawn."
Er Gouzi arrived first, seeing that the village chief didn't speak, it was Li Ji who trotted over from behind and explained the matter clearly.
"If it's a small matter, I won't bother you. Look at who this is. Er Shovel. I don't know what kind of heart and dog's lungs I have stored up in the middle of the night. I want to light my livestock pen. Fortunately, I found it early, and I found it later. Most of the rabbits are dead."
The village head is more energetic.In fact, not many people have known how many animals Li Ji's family has. The village chief can only say that he knows more than others.
Li Ji's family has a lot of money now, the village head has a concept, and knows that so much money is saved by selling rabbit skins.This fire to burn the rabbit to death is indeed vicious enough.
"You bastard! Good people don't do such bad things! Go to the family temple first, and I'll go find the elders in the village. This matter can't be over like this, I have to teach you, little bastard." After finishing speaking, the village chief replied. House to change clothes, the second shovel is still struggling.
"I didn't! I just went out for a walk in the middle of the night. I didn't do anything. They buried me! Believe me, I didn't do anything!"
Er Gouzi exerted force on his hands, and in exchange for another wail.
Li Ji said coldly: "Are you sure you're going to keep on sophistry?"
At this time, the second shovel also reacted.His charges must not be substantiated. If people really found out that he went to the livestock pen in the middle of the night, and it belonged to his elders, he would be completely unable to hold his head up in the village in the future.
Not only could he not lift his head, but the punishment in the village was enough for him to lose weight.
"What am I quibbling about? I didn't do anything and I have a clear conscience! Let me tell you! I know you look down on me, and it's not like you haven't said bad things about me! It's good now, catch me once and give me all the shit. It's on! I went out for a walk at night when I had nothing to do, and you caught me here! I'm not afraid of the shadow, I didn't do anything!"
Anyway, there was no outsider when he was caught, and the second shovel bit him to death and refused to admit it, so Li Ji couldn't do anything to him.So what if there were all those firewood?Let's just say that Li Ji made it on purpose to pay him back.This is not a group of people grabbing the wrist, so there is no absolute evidence, as long as the second shovel does not admit it, it is impossible to punish him.
Li Ji looked at the second shovel from the corner of his eyes, and said contemptuously: "You really think that if you don't admit it, you can pretend it didn't happen?"
Even though Hei Tianqiao didn't know, Er Shozi was still not startled.
"You...how can you accuse a good person without evidence! I am not afraid of the shadow! I did nothing! How can you prove that you are guilty?"
Li Ji sneered and said mockingly: "I want to convict you, but I still need proof."
This is an affirmative sentence, with a tone that cannot be refuted.
Li Ji ignored him and went to the family temple with Er Gouzi.
Tie the second shovel firmly with the rope from the family temple and throw it into the corner.Li Ji and Ge Er Tinglan looked at each other.
Ge Er listened to Lan Xin's understanding, and listened to his shoulders, that is, the eye-catching kung fu. The two of them lost their kindness, and unexpectedly became more cold and sharp.
In a while, there will be a play.Li Ji played the red face, and the two of them played the bad face.
The second shovel was still shouting something, Li Ji just found a rag and stuffed it into his mouth.After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the village chief hurried over with a few elders.
Those who were too old or in poor health didn't dare to disturb them. When they entered the house, there were only three elders in total.The village head had explained everything clearly to them, so there was no need for Li Ji to explain.
They went into the house to see how unlucky the second shovel was on the ground, but in fact they were mostly watching the fun in their hearts.
"I used to think that this kid didn't do good things. How can I be so dark-hearted. It's also thanks to you who happened to block me, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to think about it."
Li Ji quickly entered the role, sighed and said helplessly: "What can I do? To boast, I can be regarded as kind to everyone, and I didn't do anything bad. One thing after another. Old Gao’s Orion, Ergua, and now Ershozi are coming to make trouble again.”
This time Li Ji didn't condemn Ergua straight from the point of view, but wept first, and aroused the pity of others.
"If you have too much money, you will inevitably encounter jealous people. What else can you do? Everyone knows who the second shovel is, and he can do shady things." This time it was Li Shuisheng who spoke.
Li Shuisheng is narrow-minded.Li Shuisheng now remembers how much dirty water Er Chanzi Niang threw in order to marry Li Qiaoer.
"You want to say that I offended him?" Li Ji frowned suspiciously, "I did say a few words about his wife back then. But I'm an unmarried young man, and I'm afraid that I'll get hurt when I get married and complain. Wrong? I lived by myself when I was a child, and spent many years living a poor life of eating bran and swallowing vegetables. Finally, I have some spare money in my pocket. What happened to the second shovel, why don’t I say it?”
Li Ji first broke up the matter of the two people's enmity, as long as they all felt that what Li Ji said at the beginning was correct, since the two started their enmity, it was not Li Ji's fault.The "revenge" of the second shovel after this is naturally even more inappropriate.
Li Shuisheng said: "What's your name? You weren't the only one, but the whole village was talking. Which family with a son didn't close the door and curse twice? So many people caught you alone. I think It's not grudges, it's obviously jealous of your good life, unlike you who are better than playing tricks on you, just find a lame excuse."
As soon as Li Shuisheng said this, the charges against the second shovel were confirmed.
After all the foreshadowing was done, Li Ji said smoothly: "I never imagined that he could hate me to this extent. Even if it's my warehouse, it's easy to say, there are some grass on the left and right. If it's gone, you can buy it again." Take it. I vented my anger on him, and the two families will not communicate in the future. He smashed open the warehouse door, moved the hay inside and piled it outside the animal pen! I am afraid that the animal will not be able to be penned. Most of my animals are raised there. This cut off my money."
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Although these words are exaggerated, but the source of income is the capital for a family to live and work, and only the money can be transferred to support the whole family!Otherwise, without a source of money, wouldn't the whole family starve to death?
All have such a sentence.
The village chief also sighed: "This is too cruel! Although this person is usually greedy, lazy and unpopular, he looks like he has grown up anyway. There are many small problems, but there are no major problems. Why can't I think about it?" This issue!"
The attention of another elder is obviously different from that of others: "From what you said, what he wants is the livestock pen outside your house? How did you find out after this?"
Who would go out to look at the stables in the middle of the night?Er Chanzi did this in the middle of the night because the moon was dark and the wind was high. Li Ji must have fallen asleep, so he went to order the livestock pen.Maybe he never dreamed that he would be blocked by Li Ji and the others.
Li Ji had already thought about his answer, and said: "How do you think my rabbits grow so fast? My money is not easy to come by. The rabbits are growing fast, so I can kill them as soon as possible to buy money. I want them to grow up." If they grow fast, they must eat more grass. But they are fed during the day, and they also sleep when it gets dark at night. So in the middle of the night when there is nothing to do, just disturb them and let them wake up and eat before going to sleep. Not to mention, this method is indeed It works, it's half a month earlier than before."
After Li Ji finished speaking, the topic changed and fell on the second shovel again: "It's also fortunate that we have this habit, and it's also because God loves me that it's not easy to serve those animals day and night, so I happened to meet the second shovel." A shovel. Actually, we came to him first. We hid and watched for a while. We watched him break open the lock and move the bales of hay outside. At first, we thought he was stealing some grass. We didn’t come out because we were afraid that he would embarrass him. He waited for him to leave and pretended he hadn't seen it. How could he have thought that he would take out a torch to light a fire. Fortunately, Er Gouzi was quick and quick, and he would find any slow ignition. Those dry grasses are all ignited when they touch the fire. Do not destroy it."
Li Ji said that when it comes to this, there is no need to say more later.Li Ji's words are obvious, he has exhausted his benevolence, and plans to let the second shovel go.It's the second shovel who doesn't cherish the opportunity and wants to spoil Li Ji.
For any household in the village, not to mention the livestock pen, even the street where a chicken would stand at the door and scold for days if it was trampled to death.
After hearing this, the village chief sighed and said: "It's clear enough. We should decide how to punish. Xiao Ji, you are the elder, and he wants to buy your livestock pen. You come to accept your plan." How to punish."
In fact, this is the last thing Li Ji wants, and most victims don't think it's fair to do so.It seems that letting the victim make his own decision is to let the victim vent his anger, but in fact, the criminal remembers who gave the punishment.
The victim was hated in the first place, and he spoke up about how to punish him.Just waiting for the freedom to commit crimes, why don't we continue to intensify the punishment of the victims?
And how to punish the victim for making a decision, how to say and how to do it, but how to measure this degree?It can't be too heavy, if it is too heavy, not only will you be hated, but others will complain that he is too cruel.
So I can only speak lightly.But if it is light, it will not be relieved at all, it will not be fair, and it will be hated by the crime.
But most people think it's fair to do so, how can Li Ji push it out?
Li Ji thought about it, then sighed and said, "What else can happen? An ancestor, how can you still have life-and-death worries?"
The meaning of Li Ji's words is that he intends to make a big problem smaller.
The second shovel breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone else felt that things could pass like this.
At this time Ting Lan stood up: "Fourth Master Li is kind-hearted."
Ting Lan had no expression on her face, she stood there with her shoulders straight, not angry and pretentious, her face was not easy to get along with or provoke.
Only then did the village head notice this person.Seeing these two people clearly at this moment, I thought about it in my head, and when I remembered it, my head was covered with sweat.
Isn't this a servant from Ergouzi's family?
In this closed small village, the big family is a great person, and the servants who serve the big family are also unattainable.Because he was really offended when he got close to a big shot, and talking to a big shot was enough for ordinary bosses like them to bear it.
Li Ji put on a show and said: "How could it be, you have seen it too, after all, it is a family, how can we talk about it."
The corners of Ting Lan's lips twitched, and she looked a little creepy: "Fourth Master, you forgot something. Those rabbits don't know that you are alone. The rabbits were raised by you and my uncle, and the breeding rabbits were also my uncle. I got it. The two shovels broke the rabbits of the two of you, why did you make the decision by yourself?"
With some embarrassment on his face, Li Ji smiled and said, "Er Gouzi and Er Chanzi are also relatives."
"Relatives? Fourth Master Li, you've thought it over and explained it. What kind of relatives are these?" Ting Lan's tone was sour, she didn't seem to care about Li Ji at all.
Li Ji's face was even more embarrassed. In fact, Li Ji was really embarrassed at this time.There is no way, Ting Lan's performance is too similar, when facing her, Li Ji really feels despised.
"Even if you don't recognize it, it's not enough to just pretend that I have such a relationship with Er Gouzi?" Li Ji tried his best to make a way out.
Ting Lan shook her handkerchief, with sarcasm on her face: "Look at what you said. Fourth Master, you are kind to our master, but there is no one in the world who threatens you with kindness. You can't even say it. That's the reason. It's not to bully you, the rabbit is divided into two halves, usually it's yours, you don't rush to pursue the old love, our family can't control it, but the part that belongs to my master, let the servants say it."
Ting Lan walked slowly to the side of the second shovel, looked it over carefully, then turned around and said: "In the future, when the uncle returns to the mansion, the rabbits raised here will be the property of the mansion. To be honest, I have been with the master for many years, and I have never I have never seen a person who wants to make trouble for the master and can still stand. The part that belongs to the master, the uncle can’t understand, you have no right to control the fourth master, and I dare not say anything as a slave. Why don’t you just send it to the master , let the master do the most."
The elder who had not spoken all this time trembled when he heard this.Li Ji did a good job before, and successfully portrayed a terrible second-dog father who kills people without batting an eyelid.
Now, when I heard that they were going to be sent to my family, I was afraid that they would anger the whole village in a fit of anger.
The elder hurriedly said: "You can't do it. The girl is also too temperamental. He seldom goes out, how do you know how many animals are in the livestock pen? It's just a suffocation in his heart to make trouble. In fact He also regrets it in his heart. Ergou...ah, your uncle lives in the village after all, even if he doesn't recognize this relative, he is regarded as a neighbor. Who can not make mistakes, this time is over, If we commit the crime again next time, how about being together again?"
Persuasion is just this set of rhetoric.Understand with reason, move with emotion, and kidnap other people's interests with empty talk that peace is the most important thing.
Ting Lan is not easy to talk to.
Ting Lan frowned slightly, knocked on the elder, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Don't blame me as a gangster who can speak, and don't think I speak badly. Dare to ask how you look like, want to make decisions for my master? What do you think? If you live in this village, you should give in every step of the way. That's easy. I'll go back to the master tomorrow and just talk about these bad things. I believe it will only take a day or two before the master can find another one who doesn't have to suffer. I am wronged. My Buddha family is small, so it seems that I cannot live in your big temple."
Li Ji hurriedly stood between the two to smooth things over.
"Look at how big your temper is? You can't even say a few words to stir things up? The big family still jokes, so don't take it too seriously. We are all ordinary people. How dare we touch the minds of the big family? The common people like to make peace with each other. For your sake, you should bear with me more, pretend you didn't hear it."
Everyone knocked it out, with Ting Lan's appearance, he didn't intend to just let it go.
The village chief sighed: "Since this is the case, how to deal with it is up to you, girl."
Ting Lan nodded and gave Li Ji a look without leaving a trace.Then he said: "It's better for you to be more sensible. You don't want some people, you just know how to extend your hand blindly to let them take care of you. Since there are quite a lot, I won't make it difficult for you. It's unnecessary to send it to my master's family."
As soon as Er Chanzi's face relaxed, Ting Lan continued: "Send it directly to the government. We will calculate whatever the government decides. I won't pursue it in the future. Don't say we are bullying, what's wrong with this matter?" Solve it, let's listen to Daxia's law."
That said, it should be fair.It's just compared to sending it to Ergouzi's family.
The village chief knew that actually sending Er Gouzi to his family and sending him to see an official were actually the same thing.
If Er Chanzi offended other people in the village, in line with the principle of making big things small and small things small, the village head will help to calm things down.But it's not others who offend, but Er Gouzi!And the servants sent by Ergouzi's family are here.
Even if Er Gouzi is easy to talk, the servants around him are not easy to talk, let alone fool him.
Even if this matter is so decided.
After tying them up, Ge Er directly helped Er Chanzi put a rope on Er Chanzi's body, and dragged it all the way back to Li Ji's house.
Then put on the bullock cart, tie the second shovel to the cart, and drive the bullock cart directly into the city.
At this time, the second shovel really knew what it meant to kick the iron plate.
In fact, until the village chief asked Li Jilai to decide how to punish, Er Chanzi didn't care much, because he was from the same village and he was from the same family, so no amount of punishment would be too excessive.
If he was beaten, Er Chanzi would have an excuse to pretend that he was severely beaten, and to blackmail Li Ji, maybe he would have a better life in the future.
It was unexpected for Ting Lan to stand up, and Ting Lan's strength and ruthlessness were even more unexpected.
He is going to be sent to see the official now, can he come back after seeing the official?Even if he can come back, can he still be accepted by the villagers?
There are no people in the village who have been in prison in the New Year, and the word prison is even more taboo.If he squats in and comes back, the villagers will definitely support him, how can he stay in the village?
He is a person who will have great promise in the future, how can he be ruined like this!
The second shovel in the car struggled desperately, looking at Ge Er with a pleading face, but Ge Er didn't even look at him.
Go see Li Ji again.The moon is slanting westward, and it is even more difficult to see people clearly when the light is behind it.But Li Ji's cold voice still made him shiver.
"As I said, I want to convict you without evidence."
After such a toss, there is no need for evidence at all, because the second shovel has already collapsed.When the time comes to see the county magistrate, there must be something to say, and in the lobby, there is no need to even be sentenced.
Watching Ge Er leave, Li Ji went back to the house. It was already late at night, and it would be dawn in an hour.
Li Ji made some mistakes
Recently, I even cook a lot more every day, especially the dishes that take up a lot of space. I just want to eat them as soon as possible, so as to make room for the things sent by the county magistrate.
Now Li Ji has experienced the troubles of being rich.
In the past, when I was poor and had nothing, not even a decent bowl, I wanted everything I saw, and I couldn't wait to move it into my home when I saw something good.What now?
Of course, I can't wait to have a big yard like the county magistrate, and I can put as much as I want.
How many good things can we be afraid of?
I first put the things that there is really no place for the other party to put on the ground in the house.Underneath was a blanket from the old home.This blanket was placed a year ago, Er Gouzi and Li Ji were only willing to take it out during the hottest days in the summer. They were reluctant to lay the kang, let alone being touched by someone, and now they are directly laid on the floor. Save the good things sent by the county magistrate.
Li Ji squatted on the ground and stretched his neck to look over one by one.
After watching for a while, I sat down and decided.
"Er Gouzi, why don't we dig the ground." Li Ji said.
Er Gouzi didn't understand, tilted his head to look at him and asked with his eyes.
Li Jidao: "We really have no place to put our things. We can't build a big house at this time because we are afraid of people's suspicion. Why don't we just dig an underground house, dig as much as we want, and put as much as we want."
Er Gouzi nodded, deeply feeling that this method is feasible.
With such an idea, Li Ji immediately stood up, went out to find Ge Er, and told him what he thought.
Since you don't want outsiders to know, you can only close the door and dig quietly.How much to dig is decided by the four people in the house.
Hearing this suggestion, Ge Er first thought that Li Ji was smart, and then he also felt that Li Ji's head was active, and he felt everything.
In fact, in the village, cellars are very common.However, they are generally very small, and are generally used to store things that are durable, such as radishes and potatoes.Because the ground is cooler, it can be kept longer.
Unless wars need to be avoided, in times of peace and prosperity, who would think of digging a big cellar to store things?
"It's easy to dig this cellar, but we have few people. If we want to dig a big one, we need pillars for support, otherwise it will easily collapse. The easiest way is to use wood. But unless the wood is made of good wood, it will rot within a few years It's terrible. It's better to use stones or turn heads. But in that case, it will be troublesome to make love. If there are only four of us, even if it is just a cellar as big as our yard, it will take at least one or two years. Kung Fu. Of course, if there are too many people, it should not be discussed.”
Ge Er has more experience, so Li Ji also felt that he was whimsical.It's really that easy there.
"Then let's dig a smaller one first..." Li Ji thought about it, and then said, "Then let's dig a cave on the mountain? The cave on the mother's side has already put a lot of things. Er Gouzi's original cave seems a bit Far away. We can go deeper into the mountain and dig a cave where no one goes in. Digging a cave should be much safer than digging a cellar. Even if we need to make pillars in the cave, we still have time to do it slowly, or simply from a farther place Hire someone to come and make it, and you won’t be afraid that the villagers will find out.”
Ge Er still shook his head: "Small caves are feasible, and the four of us can dig them alternately. But it is unrealistic for larger caves. If you go outside to hire someone, someone who is good will become strangers just because of the money." How can the materials for pillars be transported into the mountains? There are no roads in the mountains, and it is inconvenient for vehicles and horses to travel, so they can only be carried in by people. No matter what It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to move in bit by bit if you turn around the stone.”
Ge Er's words can be said to be very pertinent.
Li Ji just had a flash of spirituality, and he didn't have time to think too carefully.But thanks to Ge Er's quick thinking, he explained this to himself bit by bit.
Li Ji was a little disappointed, and said: "You're right, I didn't think about it. But there's still room for these things... If the county magistrate brings things over again, they won't be able to fit them in the house, so they probably need to be spread on the floor gone."
"Isn't our newly built warehouse usable?" Ge Er asked.
Li Ji nodded: "It can be used, but there is only a broken wooden door, which is not safe. I went back to the city to find a store and ordered an iron one, but at least it will take half a month to get it back."
"It doesn't matter if you put it in first. The warehouse is not used yet, and it is empty for the villagers. Except for some children who go back there to play, who will pay attention to it? It is even less likely that someone will put the empty warehouse. The wooden door was smashed in. Originally, it was only necessary to lock the gates and small doors, but right now, it is safer than a warehouse full of grass.”
A word to wake up the dreamer, Li Ji felt it.
Lian smiled and said: "Why didn't I think of it? I'm still thinking of other ways, isn't there a good way right in front of my eyes? Let's double it in a while and move those that are not really needed in the short term. Go. It won’t work during the day, let’s move tonight.”
Now that he has figured it out, Li Ji won't worry anymore.I hurriedly pulled Er Gouzi to study those things that we don't need.Those that may not be needed for hundreds of years should be moved there first, and those that will not be needed for half a year or several months should also be moved there.Like cotton clothes and quilts, you don’t need them until winter.
Looking at it this way, a lot of space was immediately vacated in the yard.
Just wait for the night, and move over in one go.In the future, the magistrate of the county will not be in a hurry to send anything over.
After working for a long time, I had dinner at night, and no one slept.Drinking tea hangs the spirit.Just waiting for the moon outside to hang in mid-air, and writing can be seen outside, but when there is no light in the village, a group of people packed all the packed things and went out with a wheelbarrow to the new warehouse hide things.
After arriving at the place after a while, Li Ji opened the small door, and a group of people began to move inside.Everyone is careful and try not to make any noise.
Just quietly moved a wheelbarrow into the new warehouse, Er Gouzi stopped suddenly when he was about to go back.
Li Ji was the first to notice Er Gouzi's movements, and holding Er Gouzi's sleeve, he silently asked what was wrong with Er Gouzi.
Er Gouzi put down the handle of the unicycle, and made a silent motion to the other three.
Then turned around and took two steps lightly.
When everyone was quiet and stood there, everyone heard the sound.
Someone is walking, and the sound of the soles rubbing against the ground is a bit loud, which means that this person likes to walk on the ground and cannot lift his feet.
Er Gouzi walked by lightly and hardly made any sound. After being hungry for a while, he heard two low curses, as if he was cursing something, and then heard a few violent metal collisions.
Li Ji heard it immediately, it was someone smashing the lock.
Li Ji was about to speak when he was stopped by Ge Er.Looking at Ge Er blankly, Ge Er shook his head and looked at Er Gouzi.Probably he wanted to tell Li Ji to trust Er Gouzi.
Li Ji nodded, stopped talking, and looked at Er Gouzi intently.
Looking at people under the moonlight is not particularly clear.Er Gouzi looked at the firmness from the back, and he was particularly powerful and reliable at first glance.
Er Gouzi stood in front of everyone as he should, and went to check the unknown things.
Not long after, the lock should have been smashed open.The door opened and people went in.
That was the hay storage warehouse that was built before, and there were only some dry firewood in it. Li Ji couldn't think of anything else to steal, so he ran over in the middle of the night.
It was such a coincidence that Li Ji's family of four came to move things and bumped into each other.
Er Gouzi disappeared when he walked to the delivery place, and Li Ji was still waiting here.
Then he heard the sound of dragging. The man obviously had no strength, and his breathing was a little rough, but he could hear it clearly.
After a while, because it was separated by a warehouse, it happened that I didn't know where it was.The three of Li Ji didn't dare to move easily, for fear that they wouldn't be able to catch them except to scare people away with movement.
Er Gouzi is also patient and curious about what this man wants to do.
The sound of the man dragging did not end, and it seemed that he had walked back and forth a few times, moving the hay out of the warehouse.
Li Ji still couldn't figure out what he was going to do.Those are grass, things that can be seen everywhere on the mountain, what's the use of stealing this?
After waiting for a while, the man was already a little out of breath, and Li Ji finally caught sight of some flames.
The next second, a scream came to mind, and Er Gouzi's voice came.
"who is it!"
Hearing the sound, he knew he was catching someone.
The three rushed over quickly, and when they turned a corner, they first saw a burning fire on the ground. The flame was not big, but it was very conspicuous in the dark night.
Beside Huozhezi, Er Gouzi was pressing a man hard on the ground.
He picked up the fire folder and walked over, squatted down to look carefully, and asked in surprise, "Second shovel?"
This person is none other than the second shovel that I haven't seen for a long time.
Ever since the second shovel's daughter-in-law was taken away by her natal family, the second shovel has been unable to get a wife again.Er Shozi seldom goes out to meet people.Li Ji seldom went to the village, so he hadn't seen the second shovel for a year or two.
In the middle of the night, what is the second shovel doing here?
The second shovel was still struggling violently, twisting his face away so that Li Ji could not see it, his voice was full of panic, and he said in confusion: "You have admitted the wrong person, you have admitted the wrong person, let me go, I have not done anything!"
Er Gouzi gained more strength in his hands, and Er Shozi wailed a lot louder, and he couldn't even talk.
Er Gouzi's face turned cold, and he spoke angrily, "He's going to burn the livestock pen."
Li Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then took a look around the livestock pen with a fire bag.This livestock pen is next to the warehouse. It was built before, so it is convenient to get hay to feed the rabbits at any time, so it is relatively advanced.
Looking at the gate of the livestock pen, there were indeed several large bales of hay piled up.Although the house is built of bricks, the roof is made of straw, which is extremely flammable.
The rabbit cages inside are all made of wicker, which is also easy to put together.If this fire ignites, none of the rabbits here will be able to escape.
The livestock pen at home has already been fully stocked, so the recently raised animals are all placed here.
If all these rabbits were burned to death, Li Ji would have lost at least half of his property.Not only that, this rabbit is still a rabbit breed.Rabbits give birth to rabbits.If they were all gone, it would be impossible to achieve the plan made with the county magistrate in the next two years to provide meat sources for the yamen and the army.
After thinking about it for a long time, the second shovel seemed even more hateful.
It's easy to say, but Er Chanzi actually burned his livestock pen, which not only cut off Li Ji's personal wealth, but also cut off the army and land in the county.
I figured it out before and after, and Li Ji didn't keep any sympathy anymore.
Immediately said coldly: "Er Gouzi, send the helper directly to the village chief's house. Be careful, this matter is not over!"
As soon as Li Ji remembered that he and Er Gouzi had almost lost half of their hard-earned family property overnight, his anger couldn't be suppressed.
Not only is this matter endless, but it is going to make a big fuss.Where there is a second time from the first time.What's more, it's someone like Er Chanzi.
At the beginning, I just said a few words of justice when his daughter-in-law, Chu, was wrong in his family, and I wanted to ask the villagers to help stop the poor daughter-in-law from leaving by relying on my status as a relative.
Li Ji felt sorry for the daughter-in-law, and said a few words to make the villagers change their minds and let the daughter-in-law leave.
As a result, in the next two years, Er Chan's mother and son both held grudges against him.Before that, there were rumors all over the village that Li Jipo had banned dirty water.
Li Ji has never been familiar with them, unless he is looking for them, Li Ji usually can't think of the two of them.
As a result, in the past year, even though they were not harmonious and beautiful, at least they were in harmony with each other, and they couldn't even talk at ordinary times.
What kind of enmity is this for Er Chanzi to come over in the middle of the night to order the livestock pen at Li Ji's house?
If the second shovel was more frenzied and directly ordered Li Ji's house, how could the family of four still survive?
If you don't pursue it this time, just let it go.Baobuqi, the next time the second shovel is in a bad mood, let's go to Li Ji's house and order it.
The more I think about it, the more scared I become.
Thanks to the kindness of God, they happened to meet each other, and they just waited to seize the opportunity this time, so that they would not be afraid of changing later.
I was glad in my heart that I took a short circuit and gradually woke up from my anger.
These two shovels may not really have any deep hatred with their own family. What they did today was probably because of the previous conflict.
The real reason is that Li Ji's life is getting better and better recently.Otherwise, if he really just wants to vent his anger, Li Ji still has his old house.How could Li Ji's fortune be cut off first?
The contradiction is just an inducement, the real reason is that the second shovel looks down on Li Ji, but Li Ji's life is getting better and better.Er Chanzi, mother and son tried their best to find a new wife, but Li Ji refused in every possible way, and had no intention of marrying a wife at all.
In this way, the more comfortable Li Ji's life is, the more unpleasant it will be for Er Chanzi and the others.
Li Ji stopped and couldn't help thinking.The second shovel had an excuse to come over to spoil Li Ji.Those people who have no excuses and are still friendly with Li Ji, will they have similar thoughts?
Just thinking about it made Li Ji break out in a cold sweat.
If this fire starts.Are there more people who came to put out the fire temporarily, or did they watch the fire from the other side or even cheered when they fell into trouble?
Li Ji didn't dare to think deeply and stopped. He looked behind him and reached out to stop Ge Er and Ting Lan.
Waiting for Er Gouzi to walk a little further, Li Ji lowered his voice and said to them, "I will wrong you later to pretend to be villains and make troubles with Master Dao. I don't want to make a fuss, but you can."
This matter must be eradicated. No matter how the village handles it, they will forgive it because they think of "my family".At the most, he would be beaten once in a while, and then locked up in the family temple, just like that Ergua.
So if this matter is to be dealt with thoroughly, the county magistrate has to step in.Li Ji can't take the initiative to declare to the customs, because once Li Ji declares to the customs, the limelight in the village may not be helping him, but there will be voices accusing Li Ji of killing them all, regardless of kinship.
It's like the time when the second shovel's daughter-in-law was sentenced.Er Chanzi's daughter-in-law was beaten and had a miscarriage in the first month, and everyone felt pity for her, but if Er Chanzi's daughter-in-law sued her husband and mother-in-law to the yamen, then everyone would say that she was unfilial, and even the Shanghai she received before would take it for granted. Become what it deserves.
Now Li Ji is facing the same situation.If he is not a high-ranking official, the villagers will stand by his side to attack the second shovel.But in line with the principle of staying on the line in everything, he will definitely not be punished too much.
But once Li Ji goes to the customs to make things worse, he will become a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and even what the second shovel did will become "too much bullied", so he will be understood.
Of course Ge Er and Ting Lan understood what Li Ji meant.What came out of the house, to them, this kind of thing is nothing more than pediatrics.
All the way to the village chief's house.
At this time, the village chief and his wife were soundly asleep.Hearing the movement, he put on his clothes and went out, yawning with sleepy eyes and complaining.
"Why? This is in the middle of the night. If there is anything you can't wait until dawn."
Er Gouzi arrived first, seeing that the village chief didn't speak, it was Li Ji who trotted over from behind and explained the matter clearly.
"If it's a small matter, I won't bother you. Look at who this is. Er Shovel. I don't know what kind of heart and dog's lungs I have stored up in the middle of the night. I want to light my livestock pen. Fortunately, I found it early, and I found it later. Most of the rabbits are dead."
The village head is more energetic.In fact, not many people have known how many animals Li Ji's family has. The village chief can only say that he knows more than others.
Li Ji's family has a lot of money now, the village head has a concept, and knows that so much money is saved by selling rabbit skins.This fire to burn the rabbit to death is indeed vicious enough.
"You bastard! Good people don't do such bad things! Go to the family temple first, and I'll go find the elders in the village. This matter can't be over like this, I have to teach you, little bastard." After finishing speaking, the village chief replied. House to change clothes, the second shovel is still struggling.
"I didn't! I just went out for a walk in the middle of the night. I didn't do anything. They buried me! Believe me, I didn't do anything!"
Er Gouzi exerted force on his hands, and in exchange for another wail.
Li Ji said coldly: "Are you sure you're going to keep on sophistry?"
At this time, the second shovel also reacted.His charges must not be substantiated. If people really found out that he went to the livestock pen in the middle of the night, and it belonged to his elders, he would be completely unable to hold his head up in the village in the future.
Not only could he not lift his head, but the punishment in the village was enough for him to lose weight.
"What am I quibbling about? I didn't do anything and I have a clear conscience! Let me tell you! I know you look down on me, and it's not like you haven't said bad things about me! It's good now, catch me once and give me all the shit. It's on! I went out for a walk at night when I had nothing to do, and you caught me here! I'm not afraid of the shadow, I didn't do anything!"
Anyway, there was no outsider when he was caught, and the second shovel bit him to death and refused to admit it, so Li Ji couldn't do anything to him.So what if there were all those firewood?Let's just say that Li Ji made it on purpose to pay him back.This is not a group of people grabbing the wrist, so there is no absolute evidence, as long as the second shovel does not admit it, it is impossible to punish him.
Li Ji looked at the second shovel from the corner of his eyes, and said contemptuously: "You really think that if you don't admit it, you can pretend it didn't happen?"
Even though Hei Tianqiao didn't know, Er Shozi was still not startled.
"You...how can you accuse a good person without evidence! I am not afraid of the shadow! I did nothing! How can you prove that you are guilty?"
Li Ji sneered and said mockingly: "I want to convict you, but I still need proof."
This is an affirmative sentence, with a tone that cannot be refuted.
Li Ji ignored him and went to the family temple with Er Gouzi.
Tie the second shovel firmly with the rope from the family temple and throw it into the corner.Li Ji and Ge Er Tinglan looked at each other.
Ge Er listened to Lan Xin's understanding, and listened to his shoulders, that is, the eye-catching kung fu. The two of them lost their kindness, and unexpectedly became more cold and sharp.
In a while, there will be a play.Li Ji played the red face, and the two of them played the bad face.
The second shovel was still shouting something, Li Ji just found a rag and stuffed it into his mouth.After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the village chief hurried over with a few elders.
Those who were too old or in poor health didn't dare to disturb them. When they entered the house, there were only three elders in total.The village head had explained everything clearly to them, so there was no need for Li Ji to explain.
They went into the house to see how unlucky the second shovel was on the ground, but in fact they were mostly watching the fun in their hearts.
"I used to think that this kid didn't do good things. How can I be so dark-hearted. It's also thanks to you who happened to block me, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to think about it."
Li Ji quickly entered the role, sighed and said helplessly: "What can I do? To boast, I can be regarded as kind to everyone, and I didn't do anything bad. One thing after another. Old Gao’s Orion, Ergua, and now Ershozi are coming to make trouble again.”
This time Li Ji didn't condemn Ergua straight from the point of view, but wept first, and aroused the pity of others.
"If you have too much money, you will inevitably encounter jealous people. What else can you do? Everyone knows who the second shovel is, and he can do shady things." This time it was Li Shuisheng who spoke.
Li Shuisheng is narrow-minded.Li Shuisheng now remembers how much dirty water Er Chanzi Niang threw in order to marry Li Qiaoer.
"You want to say that I offended him?" Li Ji frowned suspiciously, "I did say a few words about his wife back then. But I'm an unmarried young man, and I'm afraid that I'll get hurt when I get married and complain. Wrong? I lived by myself when I was a child, and spent many years living a poor life of eating bran and swallowing vegetables. Finally, I have some spare money in my pocket. What happened to the second shovel, why don’t I say it?”
Li Ji first broke up the matter of the two people's enmity, as long as they all felt that what Li Ji said at the beginning was correct, since the two started their enmity, it was not Li Ji's fault.The "revenge" of the second shovel after this is naturally even more inappropriate.
Li Shuisheng said: "What's your name? You weren't the only one, but the whole village was talking. Which family with a son didn't close the door and curse twice? So many people caught you alone. I think It's not grudges, it's obviously jealous of your good life, unlike you who are better than playing tricks on you, just find a lame excuse."
As soon as Li Shuisheng said this, the charges against the second shovel were confirmed.
After all the foreshadowing was done, Li Ji said smoothly: "I never imagined that he could hate me to this extent. Even if it's my warehouse, it's easy to say, there are some grass on the left and right. If it's gone, you can buy it again." Take it. I vented my anger on him, and the two families will not communicate in the future. He smashed open the warehouse door, moved the hay inside and piled it outside the animal pen! I am afraid that the animal will not be able to be penned. Most of my animals are raised there. This cut off my money."
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Although these words are exaggerated, but the source of income is the capital for a family to live and work, and only the money can be transferred to support the whole family!Otherwise, without a source of money, wouldn't the whole family starve to death?
All have such a sentence.
The village chief also sighed: "This is too cruel! Although this person is usually greedy, lazy and unpopular, he looks like he has grown up anyway. There are many small problems, but there are no major problems. Why can't I think about it?" This issue!"
The attention of another elder is obviously different from that of others: "From what you said, what he wants is the livestock pen outside your house? How did you find out after this?"
Who would go out to look at the stables in the middle of the night?Er Chanzi did this in the middle of the night because the moon was dark and the wind was high. Li Ji must have fallen asleep, so he went to order the livestock pen.Maybe he never dreamed that he would be blocked by Li Ji and the others.
Li Ji had already thought about his answer, and said: "How do you think my rabbits grow so fast? My money is not easy to come by. The rabbits are growing fast, so I can kill them as soon as possible to buy money. I want them to grow up." If they grow fast, they must eat more grass. But they are fed during the day, and they also sleep when it gets dark at night. So in the middle of the night when there is nothing to do, just disturb them and let them wake up and eat before going to sleep. Not to mention, this method is indeed It works, it's half a month earlier than before."
After Li Ji finished speaking, the topic changed and fell on the second shovel again: "It's also fortunate that we have this habit, and it's also because God loves me that it's not easy to serve those animals day and night, so I happened to meet the second shovel." A shovel. Actually, we came to him first. We hid and watched for a while. We watched him break open the lock and move the bales of hay outside. At first, we thought he was stealing some grass. We didn’t come out because we were afraid that he would embarrass him. He waited for him to leave and pretended he hadn't seen it. How could he have thought that he would take out a torch to light a fire. Fortunately, Er Gouzi was quick and quick, and he would find any slow ignition. Those dry grasses are all ignited when they touch the fire. Do not destroy it."
Li Ji said that when it comes to this, there is no need to say more later.Li Ji's words are obvious, he has exhausted his benevolence, and plans to let the second shovel go.It's the second shovel who doesn't cherish the opportunity and wants to spoil Li Ji.
For any household in the village, not to mention the livestock pen, even the street where a chicken would stand at the door and scold for days if it was trampled to death.
After hearing this, the village chief sighed and said: "It's clear enough. We should decide how to punish. Xiao Ji, you are the elder, and he wants to buy your livestock pen. You come to accept your plan." How to punish."
In fact, this is the last thing Li Ji wants, and most victims don't think it's fair to do so.It seems that letting the victim make his own decision is to let the victim vent his anger, but in fact, the criminal remembers who gave the punishment.
The victim was hated in the first place, and he spoke up about how to punish him.Just waiting for the freedom to commit crimes, why don't we continue to intensify the punishment of the victims?
And how to punish the victim for making a decision, how to say and how to do it, but how to measure this degree?It can't be too heavy, if it is too heavy, not only will you be hated, but others will complain that he is too cruel.
So I can only speak lightly.But if it is light, it will not be relieved at all, it will not be fair, and it will be hated by the crime.
But most people think it's fair to do so, how can Li Ji push it out?
Li Ji thought about it, then sighed and said, "What else can happen? An ancestor, how can you still have life-and-death worries?"
The meaning of Li Ji's words is that he intends to make a big problem smaller.
The second shovel breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone else felt that things could pass like this.
At this time Ting Lan stood up: "Fourth Master Li is kind-hearted."
Ting Lan had no expression on her face, she stood there with her shoulders straight, not angry and pretentious, her face was not easy to get along with or provoke.
Only then did the village head notice this person.Seeing these two people clearly at this moment, I thought about it in my head, and when I remembered it, my head was covered with sweat.
Isn't this a servant from Ergouzi's family?
In this closed small village, the big family is a great person, and the servants who serve the big family are also unattainable.Because he was really offended when he got close to a big shot, and talking to a big shot was enough for ordinary bosses like them to bear it.
Li Ji put on a show and said: "How could it be, you have seen it too, after all, it is a family, how can we talk about it."
The corners of Ting Lan's lips twitched, and she looked a little creepy: "Fourth Master, you forgot something. Those rabbits don't know that you are alone. The rabbits were raised by you and my uncle, and the breeding rabbits were also my uncle. I got it. The two shovels broke the rabbits of the two of you, why did you make the decision by yourself?"
With some embarrassment on his face, Li Ji smiled and said, "Er Gouzi and Er Chanzi are also relatives."
"Relatives? Fourth Master Li, you've thought it over and explained it. What kind of relatives are these?" Ting Lan's tone was sour, she didn't seem to care about Li Ji at all.
Li Ji's face was even more embarrassed. In fact, Li Ji was really embarrassed at this time.There is no way, Ting Lan's performance is too similar, when facing her, Li Ji really feels despised.
"Even if you don't recognize it, it's not enough to just pretend that I have such a relationship with Er Gouzi?" Li Ji tried his best to make a way out.
Ting Lan shook her handkerchief, with sarcasm on her face: "Look at what you said. Fourth Master, you are kind to our master, but there is no one in the world who threatens you with kindness. You can't even say it. That's the reason. It's not to bully you, the rabbit is divided into two halves, usually it's yours, you don't rush to pursue the old love, our family can't control it, but the part that belongs to my master, let the servants say it."
Ting Lan walked slowly to the side of the second shovel, looked it over carefully, then turned around and said: "In the future, when the uncle returns to the mansion, the rabbits raised here will be the property of the mansion. To be honest, I have been with the master for many years, and I have never I have never seen a person who wants to make trouble for the master and can still stand. The part that belongs to the master, the uncle can’t understand, you have no right to control the fourth master, and I dare not say anything as a slave. Why don’t you just send it to the master , let the master do the most."
The elder who had not spoken all this time trembled when he heard this.Li Ji did a good job before, and successfully portrayed a terrible second-dog father who kills people without batting an eyelid.
Now, when I heard that they were going to be sent to my family, I was afraid that they would anger the whole village in a fit of anger.
The elder hurriedly said: "You can't do it. The girl is also too temperamental. He seldom goes out, how do you know how many animals are in the livestock pen? It's just a suffocation in his heart to make trouble. In fact He also regrets it in his heart. Ergou...ah, your uncle lives in the village after all, even if he doesn't recognize this relative, he is regarded as a neighbor. Who can not make mistakes, this time is over, If we commit the crime again next time, how about being together again?"
Persuasion is just this set of rhetoric.Understand with reason, move with emotion, and kidnap other people's interests with empty talk that peace is the most important thing.
Ting Lan is not easy to talk to.
Ting Lan frowned slightly, knocked on the elder, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Don't blame me as a gangster who can speak, and don't think I speak badly. Dare to ask how you look like, want to make decisions for my master? What do you think? If you live in this village, you should give in every step of the way. That's easy. I'll go back to the master tomorrow and just talk about these bad things. I believe it will only take a day or two before the master can find another one who doesn't have to suffer. I am wronged. My Buddha family is small, so it seems that I cannot live in your big temple."
Li Ji hurriedly stood between the two to smooth things over.
"Look at how big your temper is? You can't even say a few words to stir things up? The big family still jokes, so don't take it too seriously. We are all ordinary people. How dare we touch the minds of the big family? The common people like to make peace with each other. For your sake, you should bear with me more, pretend you didn't hear it."
Everyone knocked it out, with Ting Lan's appearance, he didn't intend to just let it go.
The village chief sighed: "Since this is the case, how to deal with it is up to you, girl."
Ting Lan nodded and gave Li Ji a look without leaving a trace.Then he said: "It's better for you to be more sensible. You don't want some people, you just know how to extend your hand blindly to let them take care of you. Since there are quite a lot, I won't make it difficult for you. It's unnecessary to send it to my master's family."
As soon as Er Chanzi's face relaxed, Ting Lan continued: "Send it directly to the government. We will calculate whatever the government decides. I won't pursue it in the future. Don't say we are bullying, what's wrong with this matter?" Solve it, let's listen to Daxia's law."
That said, it should be fair.It's just compared to sending it to Ergouzi's family.
The village chief knew that actually sending Er Gouzi to his family and sending him to see an official were actually the same thing.
If Er Chanzi offended other people in the village, in line with the principle of making big things small and small things small, the village head will help to calm things down.But it's not others who offend, but Er Gouzi!And the servants sent by Ergouzi's family are here.
Even if Er Gouzi is easy to talk, the servants around him are not easy to talk, let alone fool him.
Even if this matter is so decided.
After tying them up, Ge Er directly helped Er Chanzi put a rope on Er Chanzi's body, and dragged it all the way back to Li Ji's house.
Then put on the bullock cart, tie the second shovel to the cart, and drive the bullock cart directly into the city.
At this time, the second shovel really knew what it meant to kick the iron plate.
In fact, until the village chief asked Li Jilai to decide how to punish, Er Chanzi didn't care much, because he was from the same village and he was from the same family, so no amount of punishment would be too excessive.
If he was beaten, Er Chanzi would have an excuse to pretend that he was severely beaten, and to blackmail Li Ji, maybe he would have a better life in the future.
It was unexpected for Ting Lan to stand up, and Ting Lan's strength and ruthlessness were even more unexpected.
He is going to be sent to see the official now, can he come back after seeing the official?Even if he can come back, can he still be accepted by the villagers?
There are no people in the village who have been in prison in the New Year, and the word prison is even more taboo.If he squats in and comes back, the villagers will definitely support him, how can he stay in the village?
He is a person who will have great promise in the future, how can he be ruined like this!
The second shovel in the car struggled desperately, looking at Ge Er with a pleading face, but Ge Er didn't even look at him.
Go see Li Ji again.The moon is slanting westward, and it is even more difficult to see people clearly when the light is behind it.But Li Ji's cold voice still made him shiver.
"As I said, I want to convict you without evidence."
After such a toss, there is no need for evidence at all, because the second shovel has already collapsed.When the time comes to see the county magistrate, there must be something to say, and in the lobby, there is no need to even be sentenced.
Watching Ge Er leave, Li Ji went back to the house. It was already late at night, and it would be dawn in an hour.
Li Ji made some mistakes
