Chapter 23: Shaking the Village (2)
Zhuqiao Village, this village is not too big.
There are about 600 mu of land in total.
The number of households is about one hundred households in total.
There is a small village with about five or six people in a family, which is a total of five or six hundred people.
In such a small village, once something happens, it can spread throughout the village immediately.
For example, when a widow in the west of the village stole someone, Wang Daxi hit him, and Wang Daxi immediately spread throughout the village.
For example, Old Man Ma in the east of the village fell and couldn't stay there for a few days, and immediately spread throughout the village.
Now, Zhou Dafu, a domineering man in the village, has actually fallen!
Such shocking news was like a thunder sound on the ground, and the people in the village were shocked.
"What did you say?" Old Man Ma from the east of the village was smoking a dry tobacco: "You said, the boy from the He family, remember to be called He Xuan, right? He has only been in the army for a year and has become a general flag? Or a seventh-rank military officer?"
"Yes." Wang Daxia said with a sarcastic look: "I went to the He family to ask. They all said that He Xuan became the chief banner and a seventh-rank military officer. No matter how powerful Zhou Papi is, he is just a bully in the village. Do you still want to compare with the real seventh-rank official? Zhou Papi didn't know what was going on this year, but he messed with He Xuan. As soon as He Xuan walked to the county government, the county government immediately came to investigate Zhou Papi's affairs, and found out that he had killed Zhao Xia and Li Liniang at once. Now, Zhou Papi was completely finished."
Zhao Xia's mother couldn't help but cry when she heard this. In fact, she had known that her daughter's disappearance had something to do with Zhou Papi.
However, she had no definite evidence, so what if she knew? I heard that Zhou Papi had a relationship in the county government. It was impossible for her to sue Zhou Papi like this in a poor family.
Now, He Xuan fucked Zhou Bapi, which can be regarded as avenging her daughter.
"Is this soldier really promoted so quickly?" Zhao big guy next to him thoughtfully. His parents died early and grew up with his uncle. Uncle and aunt didn't give him much food, but he had nothing to do to hunt the mountain, so he had good skills: "If I had also gone to the border to serve in the army a year ago, wouldn't I have become the general flag and become a general? In this way, wouldn't it be a big profit?"
"Big Zhao, you think too much. There is not anyone in our village who has been a soldier. It is not so easy to make a fortune. You also want you to become a general." Wang Daxia put his waist on his waist and smiled at Zhang Daqiu.
"There are no one who went to join the army in our village and other villages who became seventh-rank military generals. Instead, there were a large number of people who died on the border. They joined the army but stepped into the gate of life and death with one foot." Widow Ma mentioned this, and her eyes couldn't help but shed tears. Her days were okay back then, but her husband went to join the army and reported his death within two years, and she became a widow.
"The He family really accumulated virtue. They were almost unable to survive back then, so they all wanted to sell land. In the end, they asked their second son to join the army. As a result, the second son had to fight for a new origin." Old Man Ma said while smoking a dry tobacco: "It is also good for us to get rid of Zhou Papi. Without such a person who sucks blood, our lives will be much better."
"yes."
"We have watched He Xuan grow up, so we shouldn't bully us." The villagers all had happy smiles on their faces.
Sometimes, it is that simple for them to be satisfied.
...
The east end of Zhuqiao Village.
The He family.
The He family is having a meal.
This time, the food in the He family has been much higher, and He Xuan went home and bought six kilograms of meat.
"The meat is so fragrant." He Qi picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, but it was not in the mouth for a long time. Instead, she put it between her nose and smelled it. After almost the same smell, she took a bite. Then, a sense of satisfaction burst into her eyes: "It's so delicious, this day is like the New Year."
This girl has meat to eat for the New Year.
However, the He family is in a good situation. They have their own fields at home. In fact, even during the Chinese New Year, they may not be able to afford meat.
At this moment, a female voice came from outside the yard: "Is Mr. He at home?"
The people of the He family have been quite sensitive to the general flag these days. When they heard the three words "He General Flag", they all looked at He Xuan.
He Xuan was about to import the rice, but he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks: "Who?"
While speaking, he looked out the door.
The houses in the countryside are not big, and you can also see outside when you sit inside the main hall.
Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman wearing blue silk, with ordinary appearance, fair skin, obviously never doing farm work, and a silver hairpin on her head. This person is Zhou Papi's wife Du.
"Oh, are you looking for me?" He Xuan didn't even ask her to sit down and asked straight to the point.
Du nodded: "Zhou Dafu committed murder and was sentenced to death by Qiu Hou. It is also a crime. Our Zhou family, who had no idea about He Zongqi's identity before, was really sorry for offending He Zongqi. Therefore, some people in our Zhou family discussed it and decided to compensate He Zongqi."
After she said that, she took out a large stack of paper.
He Xuan took it and saw that it was all stamped with wedges, and when he counted it, it looked like two hundred acres. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Huh? Your Zhou family is really willing to do so. You only have five hundred acres of land in total. You used to pay me one hundred acres, but now you pay me another two hundred acres, and your Zhou family only has two hundred acres left. The loss of your Zhou family is so great."
"We offended the General Banner, so we are some apology." Du said respectfully. She also knew that if we didn't deal with this General Banner, we were afraid that the county government would not let her go. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but scold Zhou Dafu, who was imprisoned in prison, for taking the initiative to pick a seventh-rank general in the court. Where did he get the courage?
"You Zhou family are so sincere, so let's just let it go." He Xuan nodded.
When Du heard that He Xuan agreed to eliminate the grudge, his eyes lit up and his joy flashed: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, He."
She thanked her for a while, and when she saw that He Xuan was about to start eating again, she immediately surrendered.
And the He family looked at this scene in amazement.
In the past, they were living a life of life. For so many years, they had not added acre of land, but all of them were eight acres of land passed down from their ancestors.
He Xuan just made 100 acres of land two days ago, but now he has changed hands and earned 200 acres of land. It is not easy to make 100 acres of land.
Is this the power of the seventh-rank military generals in the imperial court?
He Xuan took out one hundred acres of land wedges from the 200 acres of land wedges and handed them to He Ming: "Father, I will give you this land wedge, and I will have some use for the other 100 acres."
He Ming is still confused now, so of course he nodded repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
