"If my uncle is willing to come forward, my nephew will be a pawn, running for the vanguard. [No pop-up novel website]" Huang Xunkun looked very enthusiastic.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Huang Huangkun said goodbye and came out, full of energy. He stood on the street for a while to collect himself, and decided to go back to the county school to contact his classmates. Everyone brainstormed and wrote an emotional report, so that it could be opened to Liu Dalin. Open your eyes.
The students are all people who are educated and sensible. In all dynasties, scholars have been the pillars of the country. He firmly believes that the students in this county are also such talented people.
However, some scholars in the county school were not very enthusiastic about this matter. No matter how Ren Huang Hankun said this was a major event affecting the entire county, most people were still very hesitant. Some people say that this is a matter for their elders, and it is not convenient for younger generations to talk about it; some people were so frightened that they turned pale when they heard that they were going to sue Australians, and simply stopped talking. As for the students who come from poor families, they are not interested in this proposal because their families don't have much land at all. In their simplest and most realistic feelings: What if they offend the Australians and stop the money and food to subsidize themselves? Finally, with this subsidy, the family can take a breather. My wife and children can eat a few full meals. If I save a little, I can pull some fabrics and buy a few kilograms of meat at the end of the year to improve things.
Huang Xunkun spoke so hard that he didn't get anyone's support except for a student named Li Xiaopeng, a descendant of the Li family in the county. Not to mention everyone’s idea to write this “post”. Li Xiaopeng's family can be regarded as a "noble family" in the county. His ancestors were from northern Anhui. They once followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, became a local minor official, and settled here ever since. The Li family used to be one of the richest people in the county, not because of how much land their family owned, but because their family had a long-term hereditary monopoly on the "dung section" in Lingao County.
The owner of the manure section is responsible for cleaning up the manure from the residents. Although this business sounds stinky, in fact, the owner does not need to do it himself. He hires dung dumpers from farmers in the four countryside to do the work, and he does not even need to pay wages - he is paid directly with dung. The cleaned fecal waste is bought by farmers as fertilizer. This income is not only stable but also lucrative. In Lingao County, where industry and commerce are extremely underdeveloped, it is considered a big deal. The Li family also engaged in rural loan sharking business and accumulated considerable property.
If you have money, you must buy land. The Li family also owns thousands of acres of land in the countryside. The matter of grain requisition is closely related to his family. Secondly, Li Xiaopeng is very hostile to Australians. It turns out that his family has always been considered the richest in the county. Although the Gou family has a lot of money, they cannot be on the stage or show off. Since the arrival of the Australians, several nouveau riche suddenly appeared, especially Lin Quan'an - when the poor suddenly become rich, they inevitably have to show off. Moreover, he traveled all over the island to purchase various industrial and agricultural materials for the Chuanhua Group, and he was very knowledgeable. He seemed to be the first person in the county in terms of food enjoyment, which made Li Xiaopeng very unconvinced.
He was also a restless man who liked to stir up trouble. He originally thought studying in the county school was boring. Hearing that this incident would embarrass the Australians, he immediately expressed his willingness to help.
Li Xiaopeng's articles are not very good, but he has a lot of friends. A single greeting can gather forty or fifty people. Huang Xunkun felt that although these idlers were of no use, at least they could build up momentum - country people are timid, and they would not dare to come if they were afraid that someone would become timid in the face of battle.
Seeing that it had little effect in the county school, Huang Hankun planned to lobby among several large households in the city first. He immediately went to Wang Ci and asked for leave.
After leaving the county school, he was walking hurriedly on the street. The corner of the Confucian Temple was extremely deserted and there were few pedestrians. Huang Hankun was walking by himself, but he suddenly tripped. Fortunately, he had some martial arts background and his foot was very stable. He stumbled. He stopped after a few steps. I saw a beggar sitting in the corner, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. A bamboo pole reached the middle of the alley.
Because Australians are not allowed to have beggars, anyone who comes to beg in their territory, no matter how they pretend to be pitiful or really pitiful, will be arrested by the police station, and the sick ones will be sent to the hospital for treatment - to practice for the first batch of medical students. Those who were not sick were directly assigned to work in the labor reform team. There have been many fewer beggars in the county, and the remaining ones have flowed into the county to continue their careers. The Australians don't care here.
Huang Xunkun said angrily: "You beggar, why are you swinging the bamboo pole around?" He wanted to give him a few kicks, but he thought that he had other important things to do and had no time to compete with the beggar.
The beggar was not afraid, and slowly took the bamboo pole back. The man raised his head slightly, and his dirty face, which was pitch black and had no visible color, actually grinned:
"Brother Kun Kun, you are fine."
Huang Hankun was shocked. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Looking at the other person carefully, he saw several scars scattered across his dirty face, which looked very disgusting. But the face was very familiar, and he called out hesitantly: "You are-"
"Gou Chengxuan!" The beggar smiled, his smile uglier than crying, "Why, can't you recognize me?"
"Is it you?!...Why did you go back to the county seat..."
"Hush, it's not enough for outsiders!" The beggar made a low-pitched gesture. Seeing that he wanted to ask another question, the other party whispered: "I'm at the Fubo Temple behind the Confucian Temple." After that, he shook his hair again. He was speechless.
Huang Hankun looked around and saw no pedestrians passing by, so he left quickly.
His heart beat wildly: Gou Chengxuan is back in Lingao!
Although the Gou family is notorious, Gou Chengxuan is no exception - this person is proficient in money lending and gambling, and is a good player in the family's "career". Although he is not necessarily virtuous, he is talented. Let him pass the exam to become a scholar. Since then, the Gou family's arrogance has become even more arrogant. Gou Chengxuan did not come to the county school - he had no intention of doing so, and he also knew that he would not be well received by the teachers and teachers in the county school. Apart from the occasional visit to say hello, I rarely see him. Because Huang Huangkun had a bad impression of the Gou family, he never treated Gou Chengxuan with disdain.
The day before yesterday, he had just seen a notice in the county school. The Guangdong Xuetai Yamen had issued a document to the Lingao County Yamen and revoked Gou Chengxuan's reputation as a scholar. Judging from the deeds of Gou Er and his son, getting rid of this scholar is a very satisfying move. I just feel strange - it has been almost a year since the Gou family was destroyed and Gou Er and his son disappeared. Why did such a text suddenly come out?
Unexpectedly, Gou Chengxuan was so bold that he dared to sneak into the county! Huang Xunkun's heart tightened - why did he take the risk and return to the county? He must be taking revenge on the Australians. I didn’t expect Gou Chengxuan to be so talented! Although he had always looked down upon this man, now he had to admire his courage.
In fact, Gou Chengxuan returned to the county out of necessity. Ever since his father went to the Lingao Mountains and turned his brother into a gangster, he has been hiding in Qiongshan County - Zhu Cai Lao's people have been looking for them. It turns out that there was a letter from his father once every one or two months, but then there was no news at all. After asking for a long time, there was no news. It was not until later that I got the news from the merchant: it was said that Lingao was suppressing bandits and the bandits had been wiped out.
Gou Chengxuan was so anxious after hearing the news: Firstly, his father's whereabouts were unknown, and secondly, the father and son fled in a hurry without much money with them. Their activities in Qiongzhou Mansion and Guangzhou had already consumed a lot of money, and they saw that all the money around them was about to be exhausted. , he was about to live on the street, Gou Chengxuan had no choice but to take the risk and return to Lingao.
Lingao couldn't go to his wife's house. The relationship between Gou Chengxuan and his wife was very bad. He married her on a whim because she saw her daughter was beautiful. He grew tired of it soon after the marriage. On the d-day, his wife returned to her parents' home. If he went to join his father-in-law this time, he would probably be tied up immediately and beheaded by the Australians.
I thought only my maternal family could go there. Even if they couldn't take me in, they could always do it with some money. I just don’t know if the thief Kun came to eradicate the roots and slaughtered his maternal family as well. Gou Chengxuan disguised himself as a beggar and sneaked into Lingao. He was cautious all the way to his maternal home, begging for food, and was finally able to meet his relatives, but he did not dare to stay here. This must be the focus of the thieves' attention. If there was a sudden attack, he would be a turtle in the urn.
Finally, he decided to go back to the county town: he heard that the Kun thieves almost never went to the county town, and the city was still the same. He used to be a ground bug in this county, and he was familiar with every corner of the county. It was possible to find a place to hide secretly.
But he had too many acquaintances in the county - there were quite a few cliques among the former subordinates. These people would fall out faster than they could read a book, so they might sell him out. Gou Chengxuan finally changed his mind, cut a few scars on his face, and shaved off his eyebrows. He had been frightened these past few days and had lost a lot of weight. In addition, he had a bad night's sleep along the way, and his complexion was gloomy. In addition, after cleaning up, he was confident that acquaintances would no longer be able to see him at first glance. Then he sneaked into the county and settled directly in Fubo Temple behind the county school. Ma Yuan, enshrined in Fubo Temple, is a very neglected place among the many "official sacrifices" in the county. There are not even incense priests, only some beggars stay there.
To his surprise, he found the Lai brothers who were originally at his home in the ancestral hall. Since the destruction of the Gou family, the two brothers have lost their livelihood. He usually works as a servant for the Gou family, so he can't help but take advantage of his power. After he fell into despair, everyone pushed him down and no one was willing to look after him. The two brothers have been idle since they were young and do not know how to make a living. , and was unwilling to work hard, so he became a beggar.
When the master and servant met, they immediately hugged each other and cried. Ordinarily, Gou Chengxuan and the two brothers had little affection for each other, but now that they were both destitute, they felt much closer to each other. The Lai brothers didn't have much knowledge. When they saw the young master coming back, they urged him to take revenge. (!)! ~!
