Chapter 97

Seeing that the old man did not call the Gu family, Lu Laosan was very angry, and personally brought the two servants of the family, as well as the eight bastards He Dacai and He Shanwa to Gu Jinli's house.

He Sanfeizi didn't come, probably scared by Gu Jinli and avoided it.

Lu Laosan was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with no beard on his face, wearing a flamboyant red long coat, holding a hand warmer in his hand, and came to the courtyard of Gu Jinli's house.

The two servants also carried a Taishi chair and put the Taishi chair in the yard for Lu Sansan to sit.

After Mr. Lu sat down, he looked at the few families standing in the yard, smiled disdainfully, and said straight to the point: "I heard that your families are making tofu? The adults in the county already know about this, and now The county magistrate sent a message and asked you to hand over the tofu recipes and the recipes of seasonings and spices to the county. This is a rare opportunity for meritorious service, and you must be knowledgeable."

After Mr. Lu finished speaking, a servant next to him stepped forward and spread his hands to the third grandfather: "Master Gu, hand over the recipe."

Seeing that Lu Sansan was so arrogant, the family trembled with anger.

Gu Dalin was impulsive and could not bear it the most. He knocked off the man's hand and said angrily, "This is our recipe, why should we give it to the county magistrate?"

Lu Laosan frowned and corrected him: "This recipe is not for the county chief, but for the county. The county's adults think your recipe is good and can benefit one side of the people, so let you take this recipe. Hand it over."

Lu Laosan spoke righteously, and even moved out of all the adults in the county, making Gu Jinli laugh, she stood up and asked, "Since the adults in the county want the recipe, why didn't the county government send a clerk or a clerk? Come get the recipe?"

Chen took tofu business very seriously, he was afraid of the Lu family at first, but he couldn't help shouting: "Yes, since the county wants a recipe, why didn't the county send someone, but the Lu family. Come to the door and ask for a prescription?"

Chen shi stood on tiptoe and stubbornly said, "Does the county want this recipe, or does your Lu family want to grab it?" Don't pretend, they knew yesterday that the Lu family wanted this recipe.

Lu Laosan didn't expect that these families would dare to expose him in person, so he was very angry and put down his harsh words: "Fangzi is requested by the adults in the county. Entrust this matter to our Lu family. But not only did you not give the prescription, but you dared to slander the Lu family. This is a serious crime, and our Lu family can send you to officials for investigation!"

Farmers are afraid of officials. In the past, when the Lu family wanted to seek something, as long as they used the name of the county magistrate to scare and frighten, ordinary farmers would be frightened to death, and honestly put their favorite things or people in their homes. hand it over.

Lu Laosan thought, although these families are not easy to deal with, but the villagers must be afraid of officials. If they are so frightened, they will definitely be unable to bear it and hand over the recipe.

Gu Jinli said, "I have always heard that people who slandered the royal family and relatives will be sent to officials and convicted. I dare to ask Lu Sanye, your Lu family is a royal family member?"

The peasants were afraid of officials, but even more afraid of the royal family. Lu Laosan would not dare to accept such words.

But he was annoyed that a child in Gu Jinli dared to refute him like this. He was so angry that he pointed at Gu Jinli and scolded: "A yellow-haired girl, how can you speak here, go away, it's an adult's business."

Qin Sanlang was afraid that Lu Laosan would let his servants go rough on Gu Jinli, so he took two steps forward to stand in front of Gu Jin, and took the opportunity to say: "Since you said that the recipe was requested by the Lu family in the county, then there should be documents. , take out the county paperwork and show it to us."

Old Qin nodded and said: "Sanlang is right, Mr. Lu, please show us the documents from the county. If it is true, we will discuss whether we should give the recipe to the county. ."

Where does Lu Laosan have any documents?It was just that they used the prestige of the county officials to pressure them to hand over the recipes honestly.

He immediately got angry, slammed the hand warmer in his hand to the ground, and threatened: "A group of scoundrels, they dare to disobey the orders of the adults in the county, you wait for the county to search your home and go to jail!"

As he said that, he looked at He Dacai and several bastards, motioned them to do something, and smashed the Gu family.

He Dacai and these bastards are the thugs of the Lu family. For the sake of it, I wouldn't treat He Dacai and them like that.

"Brothers, this Gu family dares to disobey the orders of the adults in the county. This is to bring disaster to our village. Let's be polite and smash this Gu family to vent the anger of the adults in the county."

As soon as He Dacai's voice fell, He Shanwa and a few bastards rolled up their sleeves and wanted to smash the Gu family.

Gu Jinli had already pulled out the dagger, intending to slash these bastards, but before the two sides started, there were a few children's voices from outside the courtyard: "Those who came from the famine live here, give us candy."

In addition to the voices of children, there was also the sound of mule carts driving.

"These are the people who sold tofu in the town on the Lantern Festival?" a young male voice asked worriedly.

The children said impatiently: "I don't know what tofu you are talking about? But these families have been carrying the burden to sell things in the town every day. It's their home. Give us candy, are you? Don't want to give it, want to let it go?"

"Go, go, give you candy, one piece per person."

"Oh, there is candy to eat, there is candy to eat." Several children got the caramel and ran away happily.

After a while, a young man wearing a blue cotton jacket, about seventeen or eighteen years old, came to the gate of Gu Jinli's house and asked loudly, "This is a town selling tofu..." Gu's family?

Before he finished asking, he was stunned when he saw a group of people fighting in the yard, then turned around and ran away.

Not long after, the young man and a middle-aged man came to Gu's yard again. After the middle-aged man saw the situation in the yard, he immediately asked, "Everyone, what is the reason for this conflict?"

When Lu Laosan saw this man, he frowned, and the Lu family's servant said, "These families have offended the adults in the county. We are teaching them a lesson. Where did you come from? Don't mind your own business."

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at the third grandfather and the others, and asked, "Have you offended the adults in the county?"

Chen's mouth was quick, and he immediately shouted: "They are talking nonsense, our family did not offend the adults in the county, but their Lu family came to snatch our tofu recipe."

Grab a recipe?

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed deeper.

"Where did you come from? Hurry up, don't meddle in your business, or I will beat you up!" He Dacai threatened with his fist raised.

Hearing this, the young man said angrily: "Our master is a scholar of Jingwu for 26 years, and he has achieved great fame. Let's see, which one of you dares to fight?!"

As soon as these words came out, He Dacai and several bastards were taken aback. This weak middle-aged man turned out to be a scholar. He couldn't be beaten.
