I rewrote family history

Chapter 106 Poor People Need Good Legs

It was not that there was no fighting in the city last night, there were two more firefights, but it was very sparse.It didn't make sense that hundreds of white wolves were let go by the officers and soldiers, and left Xinye County swaggeringly.

Besides, if the officers and soldiers were really at a disadvantage and couldn't get out after being beaten by the white wolf, how could they know that the Zhao family had paid the white wolf a "life insurance fee"?
There are many doubts.

"County Chen is not so courageous." Mr. Zhao looked calm and unsmiling, and tapped his fingers on the square table beside him, "He wants to eat, but it is impossible to only eat our Zhao family. If things get serious, the meeting will come The government and the province appealed, and he couldn't afford to go around. This is not our Zhao family's 350 yuan, [-] yuan. There are so many houses together, it is not a small amount. In my opinion, this matter is probably related to Zhang Yudu Inseparable from the relationship."

The county magistrate is the honor of a county.However, since the second year of Xuantong, it began to imitate the constitution of Western capital and implement local self-government, and the power of the council is not small.Therefore, in Mr. Zhao's opinion, if there was no protection from above, the county magistrate Chen would not have the courage to blackmail the local gentry for so much money.

The council is controlled by the local gentry.

"Zhang Yudu? No wonder." Zhao Jiashu's face changed, and he didn't dare to say any more.Compared with Zhang Yudu, the county magistrate Chen is like a sky.The Zhao family didn't dare to offend Zhang Yudu, if they bumped into each other, they would end up copying their family and exterminating their family.

Yu Du is the Governor of Yu Province. Zhang Yu Du is not only the Governor of Yu Province, but also the Civil Affairs Chief of Yu Province.Now the extermination of the white wolf sweeping across the west of Henan is under the supervision of Governor Zhang Yu.

"You can earn money again, so bear with it." Mr. Zhao played with the well-made teacup on the table, he lifted the lid of the tea and put it back on again, "We can't afford to mess with Zhang Yudu, everyone in Xinye I can't afford to offend you. After you go out, if someone asks you, don't tell the truth. Words will kill you, the soldiers last night were nothing but white wolves..."

Lost 350 silver dollars, plus a reward for the doorman.In the past two days and two nights, the Zhao family spent nearly [-] yuan.It can be said that after a few times of tossing, except for real estate such as houses and shops, the Zhao family's wealth has shrunk by [-] to [-]% in an instant.

Not only the young master of the Zhao family was heartbroken, but he, the master, was also itching with hatred.

"Yes, Dad, I see."

Zhao Jiashu agreed.

Knowing the authenticity of this matter, who would dare to open up old accounts again.People don't fight with officials.The servants of the Zhao family couldn't beat them, but they also couldn't beat the bigger county magistrate Chen and Zhang Yudu.

Just as the father and son were talking, Lan Hua, who was guarding the door, knocked on the screen to remind them that Officer Xu had come.So, the father and son in the house stopped talking.

"The white wolf disturbed the stability of the city. I was invited by brother Jiashu to disturb the Zhao family for so long..." Xu Er stunned into the room and sat in a guest seat beside him.He took a sip of the tea poured by his servant, "Today is also the time to say goodbye to Uncle and Brother Jiashu."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, "Thank you uncle for tolerating my father and son's disturbance these two days."

Although he stayed in the guest room, he also heard what happened in the front house just now.Although he is not familiar with Section Chief Zhong, they both belong to the county government office.Section Chief Zhong blackmailed the Zhao family's money... [-] silver coins are not rare, and he heard the sound of moving the money.

One is that the county is stable, and it is time to leave, and the other is because of this.It's time for him to say goodbye.

If he didn't bid farewell to the Zhao family and his son as soon as possible, and after the Zhao family's father and son calmed down, they planned to send him to the county office to intercede, that would really not be a good job.If you don't agree, it hurts your face, but if you agree, he doesn't have that much energy.It is impossible to agree to this matter.Therefore, his resignation is actually a secret expression of his attitude.It means that this matter...he doesn't get involved.

"Nephew won't you stay longer?"

Master Zhao said something politely.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness." Xu Er stunned shook his head, with a firm attitude, "The county was in turmoil, and many people died. In the rented house, there were still some of my father's and me's belongings. If we go back late, it is difficult to keep some people thinking that my father and I He was shot to death, picked the lock and stole the silver. Besides, our two families are neighbors, we just need to walk around from time to time, it doesn’t matter whether we live here or not.”

His reason is indeed a good one.

Just as the Zhao family guarded against the servants in the family, he also had to be wary of other tenants in the courtyard.

Mr. Zhao didn't persuade him any more.

After drinking tea for a while, Zhao's father and son sent Xu's father and son outside the door.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and there is a cold atmosphere.On the way from Zhao's house to Zayuan, there were sentries in twos and threes everywhere, and a small group of soldiers stationed at the crossroads.The road was stained with blood, some dead people were covered by straw curtains, and a lot of white lime was scattered around to prevent epidemics.

The gate of the courtyard is still blocked.

Chief Zhong would blackmail the Zhao family, but he was too lazy to cast his eyes on the miscellaneous courtyard.The news that the White Wolf has been dispersed, the county office has no obligation to inform the poor people.

"Look, this half of the door has already been smashed by the white wolf. Fortunately, the door is tightly blocked, so you can't get in. There is also a gun hole, they fired a gun..."

Xu San'er said while fingering the brass bullet casings in the gap of the wooden door.

After picking up, he began to knock on the door.

The tenant heard the sound and went out, asking Xu Saner and Xu Erlian for the news.After confirming that the county seat was safe, they removed the wheelbarrows, tables, chairs, bricks and other debris blocking the door, and let the two of them in together.

"Fortunately, it didn't last long, otherwise we would have starved to death."

"Third Brother, you are a blessed Lord. I can already smell the smell of food coming from the backyard of Zhao's house. The night before yesterday, a gun shot hit the tiles on the eaves, scaring me to death..."

The big-mouthed Auntie Big Tooth stayed lonely for a long time, and when she caught Xu San'er, she started talking non-stop.

Xu Er raised his eyebrows in a daze, but didn't make a sound.Zhaojiake not only smells delicious food, but also has the stench of boiled golden juice.However, he thought about Aunt Big Tooth's role, so he held back the words.

People who have smelled feces and urine for a long time will avoid the smell.

Enter the abalone's place, and you won't smell its stink for a long time.

As for the tenants of the miscellaneous courtyard being hungry, it is not difficult to understand.In order to avoid attracting the attention of the white wolf, the number of cooking stoves will definitely be reduced.

After dealing with the social affairs, the father and son had to enter the rented house.

The doors and windows are tightly closed.Including the hole that the fox fairy poked in the paper, it was also blocked by the utensils found by Xu San'er.After all this was done, the interior of the house was bleak.

"Look, this is a gold ring I pulled out from a rich man, and a pipe made of silver." Xu San'er opened his tightly covered robe, and he introduced the ins and outs of each treasure like an offering , "And this hairpin, there are gold and silver. These are jade fingers, jade pendants, jade earrings..."

After introducing more than a dozen treasures, he took out four more kits, "There should be silver in them. I was short on time, so I didn't look at them, so I stuffed them all in my pocket."

These four kits have different colors and different fabrics, so they should be worn by different people.

Open the kit, and the silver light will bloom.

"A total of 37 silver dollars, more than 20 silver cents, and some copper."

Xu Er was stupefied and counted in a hurry, his expression could no longer hide his surprise.After he finished counting, he held onto the handful of coins tightly, "Father, give it away! Let's give it away!"

Silver coins, together with these treasures, can be counted at least seventy or eighty silver coins.It can be said that the father and son should save some of the money, even if they have no income in the future, do not gamble, prostitute or smoke opium, and live the life of a master for three or four years to their heart's content, it will not be difficult.

"It's all under the blessing of the fox fairy."

"If Master Hu hadn't warned me, I would have broken my leg, but I couldn't hide from the white wolf."

Xu San'er took out a pipe and pot from his waist, lit it with fire paper, and took a sip.The smoke from his nostrils buried his entire face, and when he snapped his leg, his face was filled with pride, "This leg is worth breaking!"

When he was in Zhao's house, he kept his mind steady and covered his chest tightly.Even if he was the only one in the guest room, he didn't dare to open his chest, fearing that Baoguang would leak out and cause others to covet him.Back home now, he had suppressed the excitement for several days, and finally let it out without reservation.

His life is not worth so much money.Not to mention just one leg.

"With this money, I will arrange a marriage with you later, so that you can give birth to me a big fat boy. Also, if you don't go back to Xujiapuzi, that's fine. Let's go to another place and buy some Dozens of acres of land, but also to be a landlord..."

Smoking a cigarette, Xu San'er thought about the fairy days in the future.

He has been a widower for so many years.After talking about the marriage and buying the land to the son, if there is still money left, tell him a daughter-in-law, no, marry a concubine.

Seeing that the father and son were dizzy and squinted, the gray fox on one side bit Xu Er's sleeve and tugged.It hummed like a fox, expressing what was buried deep in its heart.

In the year of fleeing famine, my father broke his leg, so that he died on the migration road and became a bone beside the road.

The money can be earned again, but the legs must be kept, not really broken.

"Father, you have to heal your legs first."

What Hu Immortal said made sense, Xu Er stunned and persuaded.

"leg?"

Xu San'er glared, and knocked on the cigarette pot with his hand, "Your father will be a master from now on. He doesn't go out of the door, and he doesn't have to go to the second door. He doesn't have to work in the field. What's the use of this leg? You are a dog if you are a bitter person." Damn you need a good leg. We don't need it! Buy a horse, if there is a horse, I can ride a horse and run faster than people..."

While talking, he suddenly realized that horses are not cheap, so he changed his words, "Hire a long-term worker and give him some food. It is much easier to support than mules and horses. Dad understands this, so don't interrupt. How expensive is leg treatment?" what!"

If he wanted to heal his leg, the money he "stolen" probably wouldn't be enough.If he really wanted to do this, wouldn't his work be wasted.Simple treatment is definitely difficult to cure. It is better not to treat it at the beginning, which can save a lot of money.He didn't want his money to go to waste.

How many people are cured, and the poor are treated?
His life is not that expensive.

"Father, Master Hu ordered you to heal your legs."

Xu Er stunned looked at Xu San'er who became a fairy, and persuaded him.
