Lishu Village is not a place where transportation gathers, and water and land transportation are inconvenient. Liangchen cannot call a carriage near the village, so he can only walk to the official road and wait for the passing cars entering the city.

At the tea shop where I stopped last time, Liangchen stood by the road waiting for the bus. From time to time, he saw people from the village rushing to various places. I thought it was a letter to the Wu family's relatives and friends' house.

The rules in the countryside are that if a family dies, the whole family will come out to help. Women help the kitchen, while men are busy delivering letters, otherwise the master will not be busy at all if there are fewer family members. Afterwards, the master will not need to thank you or pay you, because the next time someone has something to do, they will have to help the same thing.

A villager who knew Liangchen saw him standing alone on the official road waiting for the car, he asked casually, knowing that he was going to the county to protect his father and elder brother, so he asked him to hurry up and bring some money to avoid his father and elder brother from suffering.

Wu Dequan, who came out to pick up Wu Xiuzhi last night, also took the two of them to drive a carriage to the county. It seemed that they were going to inform Wu Dezheng.

Master Wu has three children. The eldest brother Wu De is in the county office. The second brother Wu Deyi is studying abroad. The third brother is his daughter Wu Xiuzhi.

Wu Dezheng was busy, and he would have to come back no matter what his father died. Fortunately, he was just a clerk. If he became an official, he would probably have to stay at home for three years. His qualifications were not enough to reach the emperor's order to "take love".

The second son, Wu Deyi, has never seen him, but he knew that he was also a scholar. He heard that he had a very good knowledge, so he went abroad to study in order to study. Master Wu left in a hurry, and Wu Deyi was afraid that he would not be able to come back.

But I wonder what Wu Xiuzhi is crying now? Will the Pan family send someone to pay their respects?

Liangchen was somewhat sad about Master Wu's death. He didn't want Wu Dequan to take him into the city because it was not very good to go to the other person's car at this time.

The sky is great, and the earth is great.

The government must be courteous in major events.

Liangchen waited patiently at the tea shop. After half an hour, a carriage came to the east, and it was marked as the "bus" of the neighboring town.

This "bus" is not a bus that "buses are written on the bus", but is similar to later buses. It is a carriage specially set up in traffic points in various townships and towns, and is sent back and forth twice a day. If you don't have a carriage and horse, you usually take this bus. Because there are few vehicles and there are many people entering the city, carriage and horse traffic is quite profitable.

Due to the means of transportation, most people in this era only had a few dozen miles of activities, and it was considered a great experience to be able to travel a hundred miles. Moreover, because except for the official roads, most of the roads in rural areas are muddy and difficult to walk, so except for the people in towns and key transportation points, most of the farmers scattered in the countryside came out by boat.

The small river at the east end of Lishu Village is a big river that follows Suning County. However, this river does not flow through the county town, but goes towards Shandong. Therefore, Liangchen can only walk to the official road and wait for the bus.

When I got on the bus to pay, Liangchen saw a suona team driving a ox cart off the official road and heading to Lishu Village. The ox cart was full of funeral supplies. This kind of suona team was specifically responsible for weddings and weddings. They were in contact with the "heavy hand" who dig graves and bury coffins for people on weekdays, as well as the geography masters. Once someone dies, they always arrive at the first time, and the funeral needs are fully worthy, so the owner will not have to worry about it.

There were not many people on the bus, and there were empty seats inside. Liangchen sat outside before he entered. When the bus saw that he was coming from Lishu Village, he asked him who was old in the village.

When Liangchen said that Master Wu, who was a social science student, passed away, everyone in the car sighed. Many people said that they would go to Lishu Village to hang pieces of paper money for Master Wu.

Liangchen felt quite touched. Although Master Wu was just a scholar and had been teaching and educating people in the social school in Lishu Village all his life, over the past 30 years, including the children of Lishu Village, he taught no 10,000 students, and only a few thousand.

Among these people, perhaps none of them can make progress on the imperial examinations. Most of them even went home after only one or two years of study. However, no matter how short the school time is, Master Wu is their teacher for these peasants.

Now that the teacher has left, these people will of course go to hang a piece of paper money for Master Wu whenever they have time. It can be foreseen that in the next few days, many people will come to pay their respects.

This is to respect teachers and respect the Tao.

Liangchen also wanted to buy a piece of paper money to pay for Master Wu after he saved his father and eldest brother.

After the bus arrived at the county town, Liangchen went straight to the county government office.

"What are you doing?" Outside the county yamen, two yamen runners stopped the good minister.

Liangchen said he was here to protect the people, and the two yamen runners asked him who he wanted to protect, Liangchen said he was from Lishu Village.

"From Lishu Village?" A yamen runner looked at Liangchen: "He was arrested for the land?"

Liangchen said "yes".

Another yamen runner asked, "Which one do you protect?"

Liangchen said: "My father and elder brother."

The yamen runner asked him: "What's your name?"

"My father is called Wei Jinde, and my elder brother is called Wei Liangqing." Liangchen said the truth.

The two yamen runners whispered a few words, and then one of them asked Liangchen to wait here, so he went to the torture room to ask.

After the yamen runner entered, Liangchen asked another yamen runner: "Brother, where are my father and others now?"

The yamen runner said angrily: "Where are you arrested if you don't need to be imprisoned? Is it delicious food and drink for you?"

"Then..." Liangchen hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Have my father and elder brother suffered in prison?"

The yamen runner sneered: "The rules in prison are not justified or not, no matter how many days you are imprisoned, you will have to learn a lesson when you go in."

"What does it mean to teach a lesson?" Liangchen felt that these three words didn't sound very good.

"You don't understand even if you say it."

The yamen runner saw that Liangchen was still young, shook his head and did not tell him what it means to "learn a lesson". He only asked Liangchen if he had brought the money.

Liangchen hurriedly said he had brought it, and quickly touched two small flat money and handed it to the yamen runner.

"When Lao Zhang comes out later, if nothing happens, you and Lao Zhang go into the torture room to go through the procedures and pay the money to get your father and elder brother back." The yamen runner got the money and spoke in a friendly manner, and told the Liang minister: "After going back, tell your father not to make trouble again. The land acquisition is a major event of the court, and the county magistrate can't even take care of it. If you make trouble again, you can't get it."

"Well, I understand." Liangchen nodded. He wanted to advise his father and elder brother not to get involved in this matter. His arm could not twist his thighs. The old Wei family would be broad in the future, so why bother to ask for trouble for this two acres and eight cents of land?

The old Zhang quickly walked out of the second gate, saw Liangchen, and waved his hand and said, "I asked you for help. Your father can protect you, but your elder brother can't."

Liangchen Yidai: "Why?"

Old Zhang smiled and said, "Your elder brother got angry and said he wanted to stay tuned for a few more days."
