Even though his mouth hurt, he was stunned and speechless when he saw the thick smoke rising from Yunjiazhuangzi.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." The village chief pointed blankly at the burning Yunjia Village. They didn't know what to do. At this moment, they really thought that the village chief sent someone to burn the Yunjia Village. .
The Li Chang wanted to explain, but was hit with another stick in the face. This time it was Yun Chu who swung the stick. The purpose was to destroy the guy's ability to speak. The remaining teeth in Li Chang's mouth were still beaten by Yun Chu's talent. All the restraints were knocked away, and the connection between his chin and upper jaw was perfectly destroyed.
From now on, if he wants to eat, he will probably have to drink gruel.
As for speaking, if you can’t create an artificial link to connect your chin, you won’t be able to think about it in this life.
Looking at the place where my family grew up, they were moaning. These roughnecks in the countryside could never imagine that they just came here to extort some money, and they didn't want to make the matter so big.
Now, people's Zhuangzi has been burned down, and the smoke is billowing. Even from the top of Chang'an City, you can clearly see what to do.
The rogue who asked Yun Chu what he was talking about seemed to still have some quick wits, so he turned around and ran away. Naha chased after her on a donkey, hitting the rogue on the head with a stick while running.
The rogue was dizzy after being hit. He turned around and rushed towards Naha, who was very close. However, a stone flew towards him and hit him right between the eyebrows. A green bag the size of an egg fell instantly.
When the drum started to swell, Naha took the opportunity to hit it hard, and the strong-bodied rogue immediately fell to the ground.
Yun Chu, who had been observing the fighting situation on Naha's side, saw that Yu Xiurong's slingshot seemed to be shooting really well, so he mobilized his bay red horse and chased the scoundrels all over the world, knocking them all to the ground with a stick.
At this time, the Yun family's village had turned into a sea of fire.
The surrounding villagers who were busy in the fields shouted and came to put out the fire with various water-filling tools.
Mrs. Cui, Er Fei and San Fei tore their hair, sat on the ground, patted the ground and cried loudly, just like ordinary country women whose house was on fire. Even Gongsun, who knew the whole story, saw his eyes red and felt that the world Nothing could be more tragic than this.
Yu Xiurong saw that Fei Jiu had tied up the gangsters who had been knocked to the ground, and the Wuhou who were responsible for putting out the fire in the city were also rushing to drive the water tanker.
He invited Gongsun to get on the carriage and set off back to the city.
Gongsun's mind was in confusion. She felt that she was invited to pick peony flowers today. By the way, she discussed with Cui whether the price of the quilt was set a little low.
Unexpectedly, before the matter was discussed, the Yun family's farm outside the city suffered a disaster. The most egregious thing was that she could see clearly that the fire was set by Cui herself and a group of servants. The suggestion to burn down the house was given by the little girl in front of her. Now, she was somewhat worried about Yun Chu and Naha who stayed behind.
"Why should a good house be burned down?" When he asked this question, Gongsun felt a little regretful. The little girl who should ask Pei Xingjian raised a smile and looked at Gongsun.
"Those houses are in dilapidated condition, and Mr. Yun Lang is ready to demolish them and rebuild them.
Rather than being demolished, it is better to burn it down. In this case, someone may lose money on the house. In this way, Mr. Yun will have money to build a new, beautiful house.
“Yun Chu is not short of money.
"You can save some money, right? Anyway, if you don't use that money, it will be in vain to benefit the government. What does the house you burnt have to do with the government or other people?"
"Those scoundrels said that if the Yun family does not pay the water bill of five guan, if the house catches fire, there will be no water to put out the fire, so the house must be burned down by those scoundrels.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty: For criminals who deliberately set fire, the severity of the punishment will be determined according to the size of the damage. For criminals with extremely serious circumstances, there is no limit to the number of houses burned. Please be executed with a stroke of the cane. I think Mr. Yun Lang will be particularly merciful. , Let those accomplices go, and only target the hateful li leader." Although Gongsun didn't want to ask, she couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why only target the li leader?" "Because Mr. Yun Lang looks at it. I landed in Qujiangli, a place with convenient water conservancy, flat land and rich countryside."
Confused, Gongsun opened the carriage curtain and looked around. "What's so good about this place?"
"The land in Qujiang is broken up. Most of the people living here are homesteaders, and most of them make a living by growing vegetables and grains. Yun Langjun wants Jinchangfang to become the largest shopping mall in Chang'an City.
If we capture Qujiangli, we can use the output of vegetables, grain, and livestock in Qujiangli to make up for the shortage of food and vegetables in Jinchangfang, and then make Jinchangfang no longer short of gold.
“So, even if these gangsters don’t come to trouble Yun Chu today, Yun Chu will take the initiative to come to trouble them, right?
"It's like this. If the head of Qujiangli is an elder who treats things fairly and is supported by the people in Qujiangli, then Mr. Yunlang's thoughts about Qujiangli,
Nothing can be done but to cease activities.
Fortunately, the chief here is a scoundrel who has done many evil deeds on weekdays. This gives Mr. Yunlang an opportunity to do something against him. Now that he has met him, he can just get down to business together.
Gongsun moved his body outside the carriage, looked into Yu Xiurong's crystal eyes and said, "You are truly a match made in heaven.
Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "My little girl has lost her parents and has no relatives. She wants to have a shelter from the wind and rain in Chang'an City. The hardships she has gone through cannot be explained clearly in a short time."
Mr. Yun Lang knew that I had set fire to the house, so he asked Fei Jiu to come over and let me make up my mind. If someone sheltered me from the wind and rain, whose little girl would be willing to do these dirty things and destroy her own boudoir? As for Yu. "You have burned down your own house before." Gongsun's voice couldn't help but become louder.
"Well, the shameless gangsters wanted to occupy my house, but I used this method to repel them, so that they would not dare to touch my house from now on. Madam Gongsun held Yu Xiurong's cold little hand and said, "You will definitely know how to play the piano, sesame, and singing in the future. , who grew old together. Yu Xiurong's white face was stained with a layer of blush, and she lowered her head shyly.
By the time the people from Wuhoupu rushed to Yunjiazhuangzi with water trucks and pumps, the fire on Yunjiazhuangzi had already become a prairie fire. Even the villagers who had arrived early
, also stopped fighting the fire, and stood by the ditch with Yunchu, watching the Yunjiazhuangzi, which originally had dozens of houses, burned to ashes. Naha's white face was covered with soot, Cui and other women He was also burned by the fireworks and was in a state of embarrassment.
In the entire Yunjia Zhuangzi, except for the living animals, all the other objects were burned. Even the many peonies that grew extremely lush near the village were scorched by the fire.
This time, the Yun family suffered heavy losses
When Zhang Jia, the delinquent commander of Wannian County, saw Yun Chu, the suffering master standing beside the ditch in despair, his whole head buzzed and he managed to collect himself. He came to Yun Chu and said, "Zhang Jia has met Lang Jun.
Yunchu sighed and pointed at the still burning Yunjiazhuangzi and said, "You have also seen that my house was burned down. I have caught the villain who set the fire. Although he was beaten up, his life is safe.
This person turned out to be the head of Qujiang Village. He tried to force five guan from me for water, but he was so mad that he burned down my house.
It's hard to convince the public if such evil thieves are not severely punished. The bad commander can ask the villagers present that he is just a hungry wolf here, and he has harmed many villagers over the years.
I hope the bad guy can make the decision for me and other common people.
Zhang Jia thought that what happened here was still Yun Chu's evildoing. After he asked a circle of villagers, he found that this time, Yun Chu might be really innocent.
It was Jiang Hu who grew up in this village. He loved to dominate the villagers and oppress them in clever ways.
Speaking of the water bill that Yunchu mentioned, Yunchu was not the only one who was blackmailed. The first person to be blackmailed was even two years ago. These things cannot be known without asking.
When I asked the gangsters who were tied up tightly, they all unanimously attributed all their faults to the head of the village, Jiang Hu. It was the head of the village, Jiang Hu, who forced them to come over to blackmail Yunjiazhuangzi. When he saw that the blackmail failed, he Yunjiazhuangzi lit the fire and everyone spoke with certainty. Among the nearly two hundred villagers gathered here, they couldn't find anyone to speak for Jiang Hu.
Jiang Hu himself could not speak a word because of his facial injury. He could only drag his fallen chin and roar with his throat. Zhang Jia hoped that Jiang Hu could write down the process of committing the crime, but he learned from the rogues. You know, this person doesn’t know a single big Chinese character.
"After I really retaliate against Fa Cao, I will deal with this matter immediately. The losses suffered by the Yun family village must be traced out of Jiang Hu no matter what. Now, we will send people to check Jiang Hu's house.
Yun Chu sighed and pointed at some villagers who were inexplicably grieving and angry and said, "Things always come first. They were blackmailed by Jiang Hu's thieves earlier than me. Naturally, they have to compensate them first."
Guys, if there is any leftover, please compensate a certain family. If not, forget it. Here is a hundred coins, thank you for your hard work.
Zhang Jia took the money bag and said with a smile, "It must be so. As far as I know, this evil thief Jiang Hu still has 16+ acres of Yongye land in Qujiang."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "In this case, a certain family will suffer some losses. As long as they have fertile land, I will give you the courtesy you deserve. Yun Chu dare not neglect it."
Although it is not clear why Yun Chu, who was extremely vicious in the past, was so lenient to these kind people, since the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and Zhang Jia and others have the huge benefits promised by Yun Chu, they will naturally do their best.
Jiang Hu was taken away, and a group of thugs were pushed to the ground by the bad guys, took off his pants, and beat him with sticks until he cried for his father and mother. Then, he was helped by his family and left in a hurry.
Yunchu thanked all the neighbors who came to put out the fire. Seeing that Yun's village had been burned to ashes, he felt a little tired, so he took his family back to the city.
After Ms. Cui arranged her makeup in the carriage, she softly said to Yun Chu, "How about this little lady who takes care of her face?"
