After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 37 The Bully Second Master
"Uncle, please don't kill my father, don't kill my grandfather, woo woo..."

"Uncle, please let uncle and grandfather go."

"..."

A dozen or so children swarmed up, plopped and knelt down, and surrounded the black donkey, not letting go of the donkey's buttocks.

"Lan Jun's cousin, he can't write two Xu characters in one stroke. They are all blood relatives with broken bones and tendons. Please show your cousin a high hand."

"Boss Uncle Wu and Grandfather Wutang just made a small mistake, we just need to lose money, why bother to kill my cousin?"

"..."

Before Ning Yu could speak, there were fifty or sixty people, including adults and children, who were already chattering away.

There are those who sincerely beg for mercy, those who fish in troubled waters, those who are unwilling, some who are cynical, and those who are obedient and obedient... All kinds of attitudes in the world are changing on the faces of these dozens of people.

In terms of blood relationship, these are all relatives within the fifth server.

But in terms of kindness, they are all strangers who don't know each other.

The child was kneeling in the inner circle, the adult was standing in the outer circle, Ning Yu was still sitting on the back of the donkey, and was blocked by dozens of people in the center of the circle. Prevent the black donkey from being frightened and trampling people.

What is called asking, but what is done is persecution.

Zhiman and Xu Zhuang were squeezed out of the crowd.

Zhiman hurriedly patted on the door to call for help.

Xu Zhuang yelled "Get out of the way" and tried his best to squeeze into the circle. He wanted to beat these people to the ground with left and right kicks, but because he was also surnamed Xu, he tried his best to suppress the anger of the riot.

"Uncle Zhuang," Ning Yu said coldly to Xu Zhuang, "Call me an official!"

"Yes, my lord." The yamen was less than three miles away from Xu's mansion, and Xu Zhuang rushed away.

Hearing Ning Yu call out the officials, the besieged Xu clan in Xinghua Village fell silent for a short while. The adults looked at each other, thinking that they had done nothing outrageous, and soon started a new round of moral kidnapping.

Xu's servants are faster than officials.

The former bully and now the second dandy master took the lead, holding a bamboo pole as thick as a forearm in both hands, ran out of the gate in a hurry, and yelled angrily: "You sons of bitches, kneeling at the door to scare people away, how dare you block my nephew?" way."

Then he jumped down the steps in two steps and swung the bamboo pole towards the crowd.

"Damn it, I won't beat you to death today, I'm not called Xu Houzai, I think my family is soft-headed and easy to bully..."

Unbearable insults came, and the men around the corner screamed and jumped away with back pain.

Only then did I see the angry Second Master Xu, as well as twenty or so servants filing out with sticks in their hands, and five or six sturdy servants mixed in with the servants.

"Xu Houzai, what are you doing?!"

A tall, black man with a greasy face in his forties was beaten, and immediately tore off his false mask of respect, no matter what age he was, he didn't see the cousin Xu Houzai at all, and yelled at the second master.

"What are you doing! Hit me, hit me to death!"

The second master barked his voice and issued orders, his eyes glanced at a few children who were crying, and he added, "Except for children!"

clap clap clap!
The muffled sound of sticks, the heart-piercing cries of children, the howls of ghosts and wolves of grown men, the curses of resentment and anger...

All kinds of voices are intertwined.

The scene was in chaos.

Among the servants, there were a few Lian Jiazi who were not low in skill, and they were fierce, knocking down one with a punch, and kicking over a piece with a kick. When Xu Zhuang called to arrest him, the crowd blocking the door lay on the ground except for the children, crying.

Seeing the arrester running from a distance, the second master, whose face was also painted, lost his legs and fell to the ground, holding his stomach and howling.

Ning Yu had long been protected by Zhiman and hid in the gate.

The black donkey Xiao Hongyan was not injured either.

The leader of the arrest team was Zhao Jian, the son of Ning Yu's uncle Zhao Yuhai and Ning Yu's eldest cousin.

As soon as Zhao Jian heard that people from Xinghua Village dared to break ground on Taisui, he personally led the team, raised his arms, and all the policemen who were not out of the field sent out, and more than 40 people came.

Seeing that the arrest was coming soon, Ning Yu, who was peeking through the crack of the door, came out to preside over the overall situation.

"Bring them all back!"

Adults and children of Xinghua Village, plus Master Xu and his servants, a total of 82 people knelt under the court hall, from the lobby to Jieshi Pavilion.

"Snapped!"

The gavel slapped the trial table angrily.

"58 members of the Xu family in Xinghua Village blocked the gates and harassed the people, harassed the officials of the imperial court, gathered people to fight, sentenced each person to 15 sticks, and put them in the shackles for one month. The fault of children under [-] years old shall be borne by their fathers. Uncle accepts it."

"Xu Houzai and 24 of his family members from Nanli County gathered a crowd to fight and were sentenced to ten strokes of sticks each. Considering your meritorious service in rescuing the court officials, the merits and demerits were equal, and they were released in court."

Hearing the result of the trial, everyone in Xinghua Village refused to accept it.

"It's clear that they acted first, so why should we only be punished? It's not fair."

"That's right, I think you are protecting your family and targeting us on purpose."

"..."

"Crack!" The gavel sounded, and the shouting stopped immediately.

The majesty of the official suddenly appeared, and Ning Yu raised his voice and asked: "The case of Lijia Village's robbery and murder was tried fairly and justly by the official, but you were born in a farming and studying family, and you did something to force the court to order the official to change the trial result. What a waste! Reading the books of sages and sages is simply in vain."

"This official thought about your concern and chaos, and it was the first offender, so he leniently punished me lightly. I didn't feel grateful, but instead questioned my fairness. If so, then this official will enforce the law impartially."

"Come here, put everyone in Xinghua Village into a big prison, and imprison them for three months. The original punishment will be carried out as usual."

"Another person sent an order to the Xu family in Xinghua Village, who dares to intercede for Xu Houtian and Xu Ningyong again, and be accused of conspiracy."

From the beginning to the end, the second master, who pretended to be seriously injured and unable to move, and the servants and servants kept a low profile, except for ouch and ouch from time to time, they didn't say a word at other times.

……

the next morning.

The news spread to Xinghua Village, and the Xu clan head and elders gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Ning Yu's great-grandfather had four sons and a daughter. The four sons were Xu Sheng, Xu Qi, Xu Yong, and Xu Qin. He is the eldest son of Xu Houtian.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Clan elder Xu Qi frowned.

They came up with the plan to rescue the father and son overnight. First, Xu Ningyu's peers and juniors came to the door to beg and beg.

I don't ask for acquittal, but I ask for my life to be saved.

But right now...

Xu Ningyu was able to lock up all his cousins ​​and nephews, so he might not be cruel to women, children and the clan elders.

"Fourth, tell me." Patriarch Xu Sheng looked at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin put the teacup away and said impatiently:

"What else can we do? Back then when the third brother had an accident, you removed the third sister-in-law, mother and son from the genealogy and drove them out of Xinghua Village. We have done our best if they didn't retaliate all these years... Besides, it is only right to kill people and pay for their lives. What is there to ask for? It’s just that those of us who are elders are not taught well, and we are no different from others.”

Hearing this, Xu Qi jumped up against the case.

"Fourth, what are you talking about! The matter has not happened to your children and grandchildren, of course you dare to speak sarcastic words."

"My children and grandchildren can't do such a conscienceless thing." Xu Qin said coldly.

"You—" Xu Qi was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils.

"enough!"

Xu Sheng snorted coldly, and then continued after a while: "In the end, it's my Xu family's blood, how can I just ignore it... No matter how powerful the third daughter-in-law is, her children and grandchildren are also named Xu, and the ancestral tablet is here, how can one be allowed to die?" Little Xu Ningyu is presumptuous."

Xu Qi was overjoyed, "What does Big Brother mean?"

Xu Sheng nodded in agreement.

"This is a good idea. If you don't believe him, Xu Ningyu won't give in." Xu Qi showed a confident smile on his face.

"How come I didn't see the eldest brother love the younger generation so much?" Xu Qin remembered that two grandsons came back from the county government and mentioned Xu Houtian's wife complaining about grievances.

"Fourth, I think you have been deceived by lard. You first spoke for the unworthy descendant Xu Ningyu, and now even the elder brother doubts. Do you believe Fang's words as a lunatic?" Xu Qi defended Xu Sheng, and Fang's was Xu Houtian. wife.

When she came back from the county government that day, Fang couldn't bear the blow, and went crazy the next day, hugging a tree and calling her son all day long.

Xu Qin shrugged, "It's not my children and grandchildren, so let me ask more."

"Okay, I think that the Fang family is also eager to save their husbands and sons. They expect me, the patriarch, to extend their hand. People are already crazy, and it's useless to talk more." Xu Sheng didn't want to continue this topic at all.

If it weren't for guilt, who would care about those two idiots.

These years, the third family has severed ties with Xinghua Village, so they can use this matter to let the descendants of the third child see that the Xu family of Xinghua Village has changed their past, and will never abandon any members of the clan. It's unknown how the third child's family will change their view of him as the patriarch.

It seems that this matter is difficult for the junior named Xu Ningyu, but it is a great opportunity for the youngest family to regain confidence in the Xu family of Xinghua Village.

After this matter is over, he will bring up the matter of letting the third child's descendants recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.

Alas, who would have expected that after the third child died for decades, all the grandchildren would become dragons and phoenixes.

God is not fair!
