Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 193
Chapter 210
Jin Xi caught up with Liang Yuzhong and Liang Lisheng by the pond, and the three of them entered the village together, and walked quickly towards the alley of Lao Liang's house. Seeing these three people, there were still people whispering and discussing in a low voice behind. Obviously, everyone in the village knew about the fact that the county government officers came to Jinjishan Village to take Liang Yuju away last night.

Liang Yuzhong and Liang Lisheng strode forward with sullen heads. Behind them were familiar daughter-in-laws who held Jinxi to ask them in a low voice. .

Turning into the long alley paved with bluestone slabs in front of the gate of Lao Liang’s house, in front of the houses of neighbors along the way, there are still red broken shells after the firecrackers were set off years ago and in the first month, and the doors of every house are open. The children are playing at the door, the adults are eating melon seeds around the table in the main room, or the men are sitting around the table and making bamboo cards.Only the old Liang's house had its gate tightly closed. Although there were still firecracker shells in front of the door, the cold, desolate and even depressed atmosphere was so obvious, it was incompatible with the atmosphere of the neighbors.

Liang Yuzhong and the others went straight through the dimly lit inner and outer halls in front, and through the side door to the back inner courtyard. As soon as they stepped into the side door, Liang Liqing rushed out from the east wing and ran towards the side door. In the wing room, there was the sound of a chair being pulled back, and the anxious voice of Old Liangtou also sounded: "Boy Qing, are your second and fourth uncles back?"

"Master, no, it's the second brother and the third uncle!" Liang Liqing replied loudly towards the east wing, and there was no movement in the east wing in an instant.

"Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle were sent to the county yamen early this morning to inquire about things." Liang Lisheng whispered to Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi, Liang Yuzhong nodded and walked into the East Wing.

In the east wing room, the windows were not opened, presumably the old Liangtou had smoked dry cigarettes for a long time in this room, and when he opened the door, a pungent smell of smoke came to his face, causing Jinxi to step back two times. He took a few steps and coughed a few times.

Cui Xique patted Jinxi's back from behind, handed over a handkerchief, and said, "Is it okay?"

Jin Xi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I choked, I brought a handkerchief myself." Then, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the corner of her lower lip, and smiled at Cui Xique, The two entered the east wing hand in hand.

In the east wing, Mrs. Tan was half leaning on the bed, covered with a quilt, with a slumped face, red and swollen eyes, obviously crying.Liang Yumei was on the side of the bed, cuddling up to Mrs. Tan, there was still some timidity in her eyes, maybe she was frightened by what happened last night, Jin Xi thought to herself.Yang Shi sat on the edge of the bed at the foot of the bed, holding Liang Libai in her arms, the necks of the two mothers stretched out from time to time, Yang Shi's legs were still changing positions, and the anxiety on his face and heart was clearly visible.

Like a child who has done something wrong, Jin stood by the wall with his hands down and his head down, his hair was disheveled, his clothes smelled of oily smoke, and the clothes on his body were still stained with dust on the ground.There are two small stools on the ground, Cui Xique pulls Jinxi to sit on the small stools.

Old Liangtou was sitting at the table by the window, smoking a long cigarette. Seeing Liang Yuzhong coming in, like a drowning man catching a drifting board, he quickly pulled out his cigarette and pointed to the chair next to him for Liang Yuzhong to sit on. I told Liang Yuzhong about it.Jin Xi listened attentively, and after some mental supplementation, she reconstructed the whole story from beginning to end.

Liang Yuju rushed back to the village just before the New Year's Eve dinner, saying that he had done another big business on this trip, and he had chosen the shop for an antique shop in the county town, and he was waiting for the opening after the Lantern Festival.After the New Year's Eve dinner, Liang Yuju returned red envelopes to the old Liangtou couple, Liang Yumei, Liang Liqing and Liang Libai, and the whole family rejoiced.On the night of the second day of the first lunar month, the family was preparing for dinner, and Li was leading four men who looked like servants into Lao Liang's house. Without saying a word, the arrest warrant was shown at the door, and Liang Yuju was chained and left.

As for the reason, Liang Lisheng had already said it when he was at Jin Xi's house. He said that it was Liang Yuju who smuggled tea and black firecrackers. The customer bought the black firecrackers and had an accident and blew up one of his eyes. Sued.The magistrate of the county ordered someone to arrest Liang Yuju.However, when the words came out of Lao Liang's mouth, there was a small change in the details.

"Third brother, that's how things are. Sigh, your elder brother is unlucky this time. It must have happened to his partner in the firecracker business. The troublemaker will sue him. He is afraid that he will bear the responsibility alone, so he will take the responsibility." You dragged your elder brother into it too, ah, tell me, why is this man so bad-hearted?" Old Liangtou lamented.

Liang Yuzhong also recognized the difference, and glanced at Liang Lisheng who was standing beside him. Liang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at old Liangtou, and said, "Third Uncle, I'm afraid I didn't tell you carefully."

Liang Yuzhong remained silent, Jin Xi frowned slightly, wondering whether it was Liang Lisheng who didn't speak carefully, or the old Liangtou who was protecting Liang Yuju's behavior in a disguised form, a small detail, Liang Yuju changed from the main criminal to the accomplice, the nature of this is different of.

"Third son, daddy brought you here just to discuss the matter of your eldest brother with you. You are brothers, brotherhood, usually daddy can turn a blind eye and follow you to make small troubles. But when something important happens at this moment, Dad can't let you get out, you have to help Dad share it!" Old Liangtou said to Liang Yuzhong seriously, Tan Shi on the bed kept silent, his eyes were lowered and he was abnormally quiet.

"Father, don't be too anxious. Let's not investigate whether the eldest brother was dragged into it by the partner. You tell us, the big guy, that what the officer said was about selling tea and black firecrackers." , Did Big Brother do it? This is the key!" Liang Yuzhong asked, Jin Xi, Cui Xique, and Liang Lisheng all nodded, looking at the old Liangtou.

"What are you doing? Instead of trying to save your elder brother, why are you here to interrogate your father first?" Tan, who had been quiet and abnormal, suddenly became angry, and the hair on her temples exploded with a bang, feeling old-fashioned. The tearing feeling of the cat's anger!Liang Yuzhong and the others were taken aback.

Old Liang glared at Mrs. Tan, embarrassment quickly flashed in his eyes, and said: "The horse has no night grass and is not fat, and a businessman, who can pat his chest and guarantee that he has not done anything wrong? Third, Dad I came here today to help you think of a way to get your big brother out earlier!"

This is a disguised admission that Liang Yuju is indeed doing those illegal business outside, Liang Yuzhong, Liang Lisheng, and Cui Xique's hearts all sank, Jin Xi squinted her eyes, not much shocked.

Liang Yuzhong sat there with a grim face, silent. He was a kind and upright farmer in his bones. He is very law-abiding.At this moment, he confirmed from Lao Liangtou's mouth that his elder brother turned out to be such a law-breaking businessman who was not even a profiteer. Liang Yuzhong was sad and angry, so he could only keep silent.

Old Liangtou was in a hurry, and said to Liang Yuzhong seriously: "Sir, don't be so sullen with dad, dad knows that you don't like your elder brother's methods, but even if your elder brother is heinous, it's still your elder brother ! Now that something like this has happened, you can’t get away from it!”

"Father, then what do you want me to do? My son is just an ordinary businessman, no, he can only be considered a half-business man, and he's not a dignified official. How can I take care of him?" Liang Yuzhong said in pain.

"You have opened a hot pot shop in the county town. Among the customers who come and go, there are always one or two who can talk to the county government, right? No matter how bad it is, isn't girl Xi talking to the nephew Wen Ding of the shopkeeper of Mingshan Pavilion? Do you have a good relationship? You go find the shopkeeper Fang, and if you go up and down, you will definitely be able to reach the magistrate of the county..." Old Liangtou gave Liang Yuzhong a trick, Jin Xiqiao The corners of his lips curled up, and the old man who dared to be affectionate even showed his knowledge of life.

"Master, what you said is too troublesome. Isn't Brother Lihui's father-in-law the county magistrate of Zhou? The magistrate is the second in command of the county government, and he and uncle are the sons and daughters of the direct relatives. Go directly to say hello to him. Don't you just have it!" Jin Xi said.

Liang Yuzhong nodded, and said: "Xi'er is right, some young people went to our hot pot shop to make trouble last time, and Li Hui helped them out!"

Old Liang frowned, and said, "Li Hui... hey, third child, let me tell you the truth, anyone in our old Liang family can follow Li Hui's path, except for him. No way!"

Liang Yuzhong fell silent again, and Jin Xi also frowned, what is this called? Liang Lihui is gone, but I don't know if Liang Lihui is willing to extend his hand.

"Third son, let's say this in your heart for the time being. If Li Hui can take care of it, it is of course the best. If not, you are the most promising in our family now, and the shop has opened in the county. You have to take care of it." , No matter what happens, I can't let your elder brother get sued!" Old Liangtou said solemnly to Liang Yuzhong again.

"Father, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about brothers and sisters, and I'm not the kind of person who is obviously powerful but deliberately doesn't use it. First, I really don't have that ability. Second, let me tell dad the truth. Big brother did it this time. If it were me who suffered from the bombing, I wouldn't let it go easily!" Liang Yuzhong also said solemnly.

"Third brother, you..." Old Liang looked at Liang Yuzhong in shock, Liang Yuzhong faced his father's eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and said: "I still say that, everyone has to make mistakes for themselves Take the responsibility, father and mother can no longer allow elder brother to make mistakes like this!"

Tan looked at Liang Yuzhong silently but angrily, and was unwilling to scold him any longer. She glanced coldly and turned away, only saying: "Think I didn't give birth to you!"

Old Liang lowered his eyelids and stuffed the chimney into his mouth. He couldn't see any changes in his eyes, but all the veins on his forehead popped out.Jin Xi secretly shook her head, feeling sorry for the hearts of parents all over the world, but sometimes parents, when they pamper a child too much, their eyes are always easy to be blinded. But the parents still find many excuses for the child to clarify and bleach for the child every time, hey!

"Father, what are you doing? Put your hot face on someone's cold ass? There's no need for that! There's no such thing as an overnight feud between father and son. Li Hui's path is definitely going to work, as long as the county magistrate says something." Words are not as useful as the words of those businessmen who have no power, right?" Yang suddenly interjected, she was jealous of the Sanfang people's current wealth, but she couldn't compete for it, seeing the old Liangtou in that Liang Yuzhong's good words and business talks, Feeling very unhappy, he said.After speaking, he stretched his neck and looked out, Lao Liang nodded his head, he had two plans with a heart, no matter which way he would go, and the third child could not be left behind.Old Liangtou was about to speak and stabilize Liang Yuzhong when Liang Liqing, who had been squatting outside the house, suddenly ran a few steps, and then shouted excitedly to the east wing: "Grandma, grandma, second uncle and fourth uncle's house!" coming!"

Old Liang jumped up from the chair in a jerk, and rushed towards the door of the house. Liang Yuzhong followed, and Yang Shi also stood up and chased after him. At the door of the house, Jin stood there with her neck curled up, Cui Xique and Jin Xi sat side by side, waiting for people from outside to come in.

There was noise coming in from outside, and Jin Xi saw the old Liangtou and Mrs. Yang coming in surrounded by the dusty Liang Yulin and Liang Yuzhou. Mrs. Tan sat on the bed and asked repeatedly: "Can you find out what happened? When will your eldest brother be released?" ?” Both Old Liangtou and Yang Shi looked at them both, and Old Liangtou asked eagerly, “Have you gone to find Li Hui? What did he say about this?”

Liang Yuzhou glanced at the people in the room in embarrassment, Jin Xi and Cui Xique exchanged glances, seeing Liang Yuzhou's appearance, the situation of returning from this trip must not be good.However, if it's not good, it's not good, it doesn't affect Jinxi's mood at all, on the contrary, it's indescribably happy, if a person like Liang Yuju can get well, it's too unreasonable.However, Jin Xi still has to keep worry on her face, wanting to return to her heart.

Liang Yulin took a sip of tea from Yang's hand, wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Father, mother, let's not toss about, big brother can't be saved this time, not to mention looking for Lihui, but looking for the emperor and my father." Come on, big brother has to eat in prison too... Oh, mother, you spit to the side, my brand new clothes are sprayed all over by you!" Liang Yulin yelled and jumped to the side before he could finish his sentence. Spit all over him, Jin Xi and Cui Xique turned their faces away while having a tacit understanding, it's really disgusting.

"Little bastard, your mouth is full of dung, what do you mean your elder brother can't be saved? Ah? You're so damned!" Tan scolded angrily, picked up the pillow on his back and threw it at Liang Yulin, who was grabbed by Liang Yulin He caught it and said: "My old lady, you are not happy, don't get angry with me, brother is really screwed now, from now on I will be the head of the family, you have to curse me to death, In a hundred years from now, there will only be two dutiful sons who throw pots!"

Tan's face turned pale with anger, and he slapped the edge of the bed vigorously, threatening to go down and strangle Liang Yulin to death, but was held back by Liang Yumei.Jin Xi looked at Tan's furious appearance, especially the half-sitting on the bed struggling to get off the ground but couldn't get off the ground, a famous figure popped up in her mind——Qiu Qianchi, and couldn't help but curl her mouth down.

"Okay, let me calm down a little bit, and don't look at what's going on right now!" Old Liang waited for so long, but before he got to the bottom of the matter, his heart was tickled with anxiety, and a roar shocked everyone immediately.Pointing at Liang Yulin, he said, "Quickly tell me, what's the situation like?"

Liang Yulin glanced at Mrs. Tan's direction, with lingering fear, and said, "When we went to the county seat, the yamen's gate opened to the south, how can ordinary people like us go in casually to inquire about news? Just, go straight to Lihui Then go. It was his father who had the accident, so he should be asked to inquire. But who would have thought that the servant of Zhou County Cheng's doorkeeper had eyes on the top of his head, and we all reported our family as the uncle of the Zhou family. Fortunately, Li Hui’s wife came out later. The niece and daughter-in-law met me at the inn last time and recognized me as my second uncle. She not only taught the doorman a lesson, He also received me and my fourth child!"

Old Liangtou was very displeased when he heard that the gatekeeper of the Zhou family judged people by appearance, but later he heard that Li Hui's wife had received the second and fourth children in person, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he said, "Then what next? "

"Then? Then we met Li Hui and told him about the situation. When Li Hui heard that something happened to his eldest brother, although he said he didn't want to care about it, he still cared about this blood relationship, and his wife was on the sidelines." After persuasion, Li Hui went out for a while, and the fourth idiot insisted on following, so I didn't follow, I was exhausted from walking, and finally entered Zhou's house, so I had to have lunch before leaving, right? How good is it to wait for news while eating? Hehe, don’t even mention it, the cook of the Zhou family is very capable, and that dish..."

"Shut up, you have shallow eyelids, you just focus on eating and eating, and you lose all your business, you're useless!" Old Liangtou said angrily, scolded Liang Yulin a few words, then turned to ask Liang Yuzhou: "Fourth, Tell me, what's next?"

"I followed Li Hui and went back to the gate of the county government office. I stayed at the gate and waited. He went in to ask. When he came out, my eldest brother and his colleagues were smuggling tea and black firecrackers. The sufferer of black firecrackers is not only the one who exploded his eyes. One family, as well as several others, are now suing the magistrate of the county. Fortunately, those firecrackers did not cause any homicide. After all, those sufferers are ordinary people with no big backers, so even if they make trouble in the yamen Then, at most, I want some compensation, as long as our family is sincere, there is no room for maneuver in the firecracker battle!"

Old Liangtou subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was room for maneuver.Tan Shi said: "As long as the boss can be rescued, I will sell the iron!"

"Then what is the meaning of what the second uncle said just now?" Sitting there, Jin Xi asked such a question in confusion, and the old Liang looked at Liang Yulin, and said, "Yes, where does this start from?" ?”

"Father, I haven't finished talking about the fourth brother. Let me tell you. Li Hui told us, and he went to the county government to ask, and only then did he know that the big brother committed more than just tea and firecrackers this time. He also went with others to dig up other people’s ancestral graves, and the artifacts that were dug out were sold on the black market. The trip that my elder brother went out a few years ago was said to be a big deal, but in fact he went out to do that.” Liang Yulin smashed Keep your mouth shut.

"Ah?" Old Liang's face turned pale with shock, and Mrs. Tan looked at Liang Yulin's opening and closing lips in shock.

"Brother and the others went out to do the vote a few years ago. They dug the grave of the deceased old man of the Liang family in Fenglin Town. They stole a lot of valuable funerary objects from the tomb. The Liang family was related to Qing'an Prefecture, and The county magistrates are all relatives, and there are also people in the underworld. Nuo, if you follow the vine, won't you find the big brother? The big brother who committed a heinous thing, digging people's ancestral graves, offended the people of Fenglin Town The Liang family, isn’t Tai Sui breaking ground? Oh, I’m afraid it’s really hard for him to come back!” Liang Yulin said, seeing the gold bracelet on Tan’s wrist, his eyes lit up, and said, “Mother, refer to me. Maybe the bracelet on your wrist is the funeral object dug out by elder brother!"

Mentioning the Liang family in Fenglin Town, Liang Yuzhong's face darkened obviously. Except for Cui Xique, everyone in this room knew the Liang family in Fenglin Town.Because at that moment, brothers Liang Yuju and Liang Yulin secretly talked about buying and selling Jinxi with the Liang family in Fenglin Town behind Liang Yuzhong and Lao Liangtou's backs.

"Hey, didn't that flood wash into the Dragon King Temple? Our old Liang family is no stranger to the Liang family in Fenglin Town. The second uncle followed the uncle in order to get rid of my affairs, and he also dealt with the people there twice. That's right! This time, why don't you let the second uncle run over and talk to him about the total!" Sitting there, Jin Xi said with a half-smile, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Liang Yulin looked embarrassed, and wanted to reprimand Jinxi, but he caught a glimpse of Liang Yuzhong's face, which was already darker than the bottom of the pot, and was frightened.Cui Xique really didn't know about this, so he touched Jinxi lightly and asked, "Xi'er, what do you say?"

Jin Xi smiled, the voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, and said: "Thanks to Uncle and Uncle, I was so sick the year before last that I was about to die, and I was almost sent to work for the old man of the Liang family. Fucking a granddaughter!" Jin Xi said.

The old man of the Liang family is the tomb that Liang Yuju and the others stole this time. Naturally, Cui Xique knew that Jinxi was seriously ill the autumn of the year before last. A little girl who was dying of illness was sent to an old man who was about to be buried in the ground. Granddaughter, what does that mean!
"What a crime!" Cui Xique couldn't help saying what was in his heart. Old Liang's face darkened, and Tan suddenly raised his eyes and shot at Cui Xique angrily. fear.

"The Liang family in Fenglin Town is the most difficult to deal with. My eldest brother went back to dig the grave of their old man. It is said that the Liang family is not angry about the stolen funeral objects!" Liang Yuzhou said.
