Chapter 238: Trouble and Punishment
Why can’t they understand this?
Huang Yanglong was very considerate and continued to answer their questions: "This open space should not only build a large warehouse, but also build a street, a market, and a house, shop, and inn for the caravans to eat, live, and have fun. , Do you understand? "
I understand, this is really going to build a new town!
But...
"How dare you do this?!" Secretary Kong couldn't stand it anymore. He had no sense of elegance as a scholar, and he blurted out the question: "The old town is prosperous, and you are building a new town here, where will the people in the town be treated? Where is the Yamen?! "
The Kong family just wanted to force the Xue family to get the big profits from the big warehouse, but how could they know that the Xue family would just pull the plug and abandon the old town.
But in August, the Kong family bought land and built a house near the town at a high price, waiting to make a lot of money from the caravan after it was completed.
How can the Kong family survive now that things are like this? The money to build the house came from the Kong family!
And half of the income from the built house and shop will be donated to Feng County Cheng!
"Ah, don't blame us. I don't want to do this." Huang Yanglong scolded him directly, pointing at Secretary Kong and saying, "The purpose of the new town is to provide food and accommodation for the convoys of the nine major merchants." Built locally, the old town is for people from all over the country to purchase and use. Each has its own use and there is no conflict. ”
"Taifeng Town does not belong to your Kong family. Secretary Kong, what are you so anxious about? Do you, the Kong family, want to kick the Yamen down and become the emperor of this countryside so that everyone in the countryside listens to your Kong family?! ”
After a while, the Kong family was labeled as a rebel, and the Kong family was immediately confused.
Kong Chayi was so angry that he drew his sword: "You foreign gangster, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will chop you up!"
As soon as he finished threatening, Xiaobai fell to his knees. He went down and begged: "Kong Chai, please calm down and don't kill Brother Long, don't kill Brother Long!"
After begging, he cried so hard that his heart broke, as if Huang Yanglong had been killed.
Before Kong Chaiyi could react, he sneered and said: "You know you're afraid? Then go back to the old town to build a warehouse, and don't bother with the Lu family..."
"Shut up. Shut up!" Clerk Kong shouted angrily, interrupting Officer Kong's stupid words.
Unfortunately, it’s too late.
Xue Dongjia’s face was as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "As a servant of Silifang, Officer Kong drew his sword and wanted to chop us in public. If I don’t go to the Yamen to report this murderous act, Official, doesn’t it make people think that our Wei Dynasty’s criminal law is just a decoration?”
What?
Chai Yi Kong finally came to his senses and became very angry again. He said, "Dong Xue, please don't slander me. I was just annoyed by you, so I pulled out the knife. I didn't mean to kill you."< br>
“Heh.” Dongjia Xue sneered and said Then he ordered Xue Feng: "Go to the county government on horseback to report to the official and ask the county magistrate to come and save my life."
He then said to everyone in the Lu family: "You are all witnesses. Wait until the people from the government office arrive. , please help Xue to testify."
Is this true?
"Xue Dongjia, calm down!" Kong Lichang finally became anxious, kicked Officer Kong hard, took away his saber, and hit Officer Kong with the back of the knife: "I made you owe something, why don't you kneel down and apologize to Mr. Xue Dongjia! ”
Kneel down?
Chai Ye Kong was stunned... He was a man who was feared by the whole town and who was stuffed with money, gifts and flattery every day. He was asked to kneel down to a businessman in public?
Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, Xue Zhui is a lowly businessman, but he is a member of the official family!
“Kneel down and apologize!” Kong Lichang continued to slap him, winking at him frequently.
Secretary Kong went to stop Xue Feng and begged the Xue Dong family: "Xue Dong's family, it's all a misunderstanding. There is no need to bother Magistrate Kang about this quarrel."
He also assured: "The Kong family has Certainly How about we open the ancestral hall and give Kong a good meal to vent your anger? Let’s forget about it.”
The few disciples of the Kong family who followed have already quietly slipped away... They should be going there. Call someone.
That's right, just over a quarter of an hour later, scattered people rushed to the open space of the Lu family, holding poles, wooden sticks, bricks, shovels and other objects in their hands, shouting from a distance He said: "Uncle/Brother, I heard that someone is bullying our Kong family, we are here to help!" He shouted again: "Brother Jin and the others have already returned to the village by car. We, the children of the Kong family and our in-laws will be here soon!" < br>
"You Kong family are trying to start a gang fight!" Huang Yanglong is very familiar with this kind of thing. In his hometown, between villages and between surnames, there were group fights every year.
Xue Dongjia's face darkened again and asked Secretary Kong: "What do you Kong family mean? If you are wrong, you still want to bully us by relying on the power of numbers?"
That's fine.
Anyway, there is going to be a commotion, so let’s take the opportunity to make a big commotion. If the commotion is big, the Kong family and their backers will not dare to harm them secretly.
Kong Shuli wanted to kill these Kong family members, so he glared at them and said, "Who asked you to come? Get out of here!"
The children of the Kong family were stunned by the scolding, but they did not leave, but continued to stand not far away with weapons.
Seeing this, Dong Xue's family added fuel to the fire: "Ah Feng, hurry up and ride to the Yamen to ask for help."
Kong Shuli and Kong Lichang turned red in the eyes and said: "Xue Dong's family, didn't they agree to spare Secretary Kong? Why do they still need to report to the Yamen?"
For more than a quarter of an hour before, Secretary Kong and the others had already begged Xue Dong's family to give up reporting to officials.
But Xue Dongjia said: "This time it is not to report to the official, but to ask for help..."
Huang Yanglong took the lead and pointed at the Kong family not far away and the clusters of figures on the village road, and said: "You Kong family are here armed with weapons. What if we don't go to the Yamen to ask for help? What if we are beaten to death by you?" ?”
Kong Lichang said hurriedly: "No, no, I'll drive them away right now."
After saying that, he winked at Secretary Kong and asked him to be optimistic about the manpower of the Xue and Huang families and don't let them slip away. Finally, he quickly picked up a stick and hit the dozen or so disciples of the Kong family who came first.
Bang bang bang!
“You bastards, are you bandits? How dare you come to block the road with weapons? Get out of here and don’t bring trouble to the Kong family!”
The children of the Kong family were beaten until they screamed, but: "Chief, the children of the Lu family are here too. If we leave, who will protect you?!"
What?
After hearing this, Kong Lichang hurriedly looked in the direction of Lujia Village... From a distance, he saw hundreds of Lu family members running with weapons. The posture was as scary as a battle.
Chang Kong Li didn’t care about beating people anymore, pointed at Patriarch Lu and said angrily: "What do you mean by Lujia Village? You want to fight in a group?!"
Chief Lu said: "Xue Dongjia He is a guest of our Lu family, but your Kong family has repeatedly threatened his safety, so the Lu family naturally has to call on their children to protect him.”
Kong Li was speechless for a moment.
Kong Shuli hurriedly came over to persuade: "Chief Lu, our Kong family respects the Xue Dong family very much and will not harm him. We, the children of the Kong family, are leaving now. You should also quickly let the children of the Lu family return to the village. "
Huang Yanglong didn't think it was a big deal and shouted: "This is the land of the Lu family, why should the children of the Lu family leave? It should be you, the Kong family."
The disciples of the Kong family not far away shouted: "What if we leave and you and the Lu family take Kong's servant to the Yamen?!"
The Kong family finally has a servant, but it's still There is internal news that Chaoyi Kong will be transferred to the county government next year. When the magistrate of Kang County is promoted, Team Leader Peng will remove Team Leader Zhou and help Chaoyong Kong become a squad leader.
Being able to produce a squad leader in the countryside is a matter of honoring the ancestors, so the children of the Kong family are unwilling to leave. They must stay and protect the Kong officer, and they must not let him be turned away to the county government and ruin his bright future.
"Let Chai Kong go, and we'll leave!"
This stupid thing came out again and again, and it almost made Xue Dongjia happy to death.
