"Oh my God, ancestors, you have finally enlightened."
When Luzhi County heard this, he was so happy that he immediately called for a carriage: "Then let's come one by one. Our county has many villages, fifty of them. Let's get rid of the small villages first."
Jiangning County has many villages, large and small.
Just like this, Luzhi County ordered the county magistrate and himself to take the district chief to start from the small village.
It was indeed easy to get things done with the forced demolition documents, and the compensation was quite large. Many villagers were helpless and eventually ran away with the money.
A few days later, many houses in the village had been purchased and construction began.
Yu Qian discussed with everyone that since Jiangning County has established an industrial park, other villages do not need to engage in projects, and the community only needs to do good people's livelihood work.
The shares of the Xiaodong Village Industrial Park are equally divided among fifty local villages.
In other words, as long as the industrial park is established, the office funds for the next fifty campuses will be available.
In this way, one after another, the dormitory leaders began to return to the village to build their own dormitories, building according to the drawings.
And the rest are some big villages that are difficult to deal with.
Just like this Tangjiacun.
On this day, Luzhi County personally took Yu Qian to Tangjia Village.
This is their second time here, and they didn’t see anyone the first time.
The Tang family did not even see the county magistrate.
"Please let me know and tell the county magistrate of Jiangning to visit."
Lu Zhixian and Yu Qian came to the foot of the mountain and said to the strong man at the foot of the mountain.
The strong man responded, then went up the mountain, and turned back after a while.
"The master of the house is not at home, please come back another day."
"Why are you not at home? Are you avoiding us on purpose? Tell your owner, if you still don't see us, then we will issue a demolition notice directly."
Luzhi County was also tough. After all, the work in other counties had already started, so he couldn't lag behind, right?
"You dare? If you dare to issue a demolition notice, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"
That strong man was also a slave of the Tang family, and he was very fierce.
"Why don't I dare?"
Lu Zhixian raised his head and chest.
His courage came from the fact that he had five government officials behind him, and Yu Qian also brought three soldiers, a total of eight or nine people.
"咻咻——"
The strong man whistled, and in an instant, a group of people gathered around behind him. At a glance, it was so densely packed that there were probably one or two hundred people.
Everyone is strong, gearing up, and coming with evil eyes.
"Farewell. Farewell"
Sweat beaded on Lu Zhixian's forehead, and he immediately pulled Yu Qian out of the village.
Yu Qian also felt something was wrong.
Just like bandits.
No wonder Luzhi County didn't dare to offend the Tang family before.
Yu Qian just wanted to slip away, but soon, they were surrounded.
There were more and more people, and many local villagers gathered around to watch the fun, but they were soon led by the Tang family.
"Folks, these people want to come here to demolish our village and occupy our land, don't let them go!"
The leader of the Tang family shouted loudly.
The villagers also gathered around hundreds of people, all holding hoes, and some holding sickles and other farm tools. If they started fighting, how could they survive?
"What, you dare to demolish our Tangjia Village?"
"Isn't this the county magistrate? If you dare to demolish our village, Dog Officer, don't blame us for being rude."
"We, the Tang family, are not easy to mess with!"
The villagers shouted angrily one by one.
Surrounded by two hundred people, the five government servants brought by Luzhi County were as frightened as wood and did not dare to move.
However, the three soldiers brought by Yu Qian protected Yu Qian in front of him, ready to fight to the death at any time.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
Luzhi County was so frightened that he almost pissed himself and shouted: "It's all a misunderstanding. I am friends with Tang Dali from your Tang family. We even played tag together a few days ago. Let's leave now."
At this time, the magistrate of Luxian County had already regretted it. Damn, this Tang family is so unreasonable and they are always ready to use their fists.
"Guan Guan, are you allowed to shout Uncle Tang's name?"
"Don't say you played mahjong with him, if you want to demolish our Tangjia Village."
"Uncle Tang will be the first one to operate on you."
The strong man snorted and cursed, not taking the magistrate seriously at all.
Because the head of the family had given instructions not long ago that even if the county magistrate comes, he will be driven away. Don't be afraid, he will take care of anything.
Other family heads in various places did not dare to fall out with the government. They were just making excuses and stalling for time, waiting for other families to deal with the situation.
But this Mr. Tang is a stubborn person. After the Leiyu talks, he treated this matter as a top priority and was not afraid of being the first to cause a conflict.
He plans to take the lead in doing things that other families dare not do.
The worst thing is to fight. If you don’t take the lead, who will take the lead?
"Tie them up and throw them into the river to feed the fish."
I don’t know which villager shouted, and then other people responded.
"Yes, as long as no one says anything, no one will know it was us."
"Okay, tie them up and throw them into the river to feed the fish!!"
"Folks, protect Tangjiacun, take action!"
With that said, before the Tang family could speak, the group of villagers began to approach Yu Qian and others.
For these villagers who don't know what's going on, whoever dares to demolish their houses or occupy their land will kill them.
If they want their lives, they have to fight tooth and nail!
"Misunderstanding, we are not going to demolish your house. We made a mistake."
The magistrate hurriedly shouted, but the scene was very noisy. No matter how he shouted, his voice was not loud and no one listened to him.
"Oh no, these villagers are rioting. We are in danger. Yu Qian must think of a solution quickly. They will really throw us into the river."
Luzhi County immediately told Yu Qian, sweating profusely.
Yu Qian is also very nervous now. There are so many people here that they can't get out with a fight, and if they do, they will really have no reason to explain.
The villagers had already started to take action. Some people tried to capture Yu Qian and others, while others started to tie people up with hemp ropes.
"No, ah, I am an official of the imperial court, you are going to be beheaded."
Lu Zhixian had been pinned to the ground like a piggy and half-tied around his body.
"Wait! I am good friends with Tang Tianbao from your Tang family. You can't treat me like this, otherwise Tang Tianbao won't be able to spare you."
Yu Qian was about to be tied up. He suddenly remembered Li Xiao's explanation to him and shouted like this.
Regardless of whether it's useful or not, shout first and then talk.
Tang Tianbao is the eldest son of the Tang family.
That is, the next generation successor of the Tang family.
Of course, because of the disagreement with Mr. Tang, the current prince's position is not stable, but others do not know this.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, many people stopped what they were doing.
The strong man from the Tang family came over and asked, "You said you are the prince's friend, is it true or not?"
This strong man is also close to the prince's faction, so he doesn't dare to act rashly until he understands the matter.
"It's absolutely true. I am Tang Tianbao's sworn brother. We once studied and took exams together. We are close friends, as close as brothers!"
When Yu Qian saw that it was effective, he didn't care about it, he just deceived it first.
As luck would have it, Tang Tianbao also took part in this national examination.
So I went to Beijing for a while, but ultimately failed.
In other words, although Yu Qian is young, it is possible that he and Tang Tianbao passed the exam together, and it is possible that what he said is true.
The young man from the Tang family thought for a while and felt that he had to ask first.
"Then you wait a moment. I'll go back and ask. If it's fake, I won't spare you."
The strong man told the people around him and then went up the mountain.
The people around also stopped.
After all, Tang Tianbao is likely to be the next generation of Master Tang.
Who dares to touch the next generation of Master Tang’s friends?
"Get out of the way, I'm Tang Tianbao's good brother, you are just messing around."
Yu Qian immediately waved his hand to push away the people around him, and then released Lu Zhixian.
Luzhi County whispered: "Yu Qian, if you have this status, you should have told me earlier."
Yu Qian whispered: "Luzhi County, I don't know Tang Tianbao at all. It's all nonsense."
Lu Zhixian showed a bitter look: "It's over, it's over, I'm dead."
Yu Qian looked at the people around him and whispered: "Don't worry, let's find a way to escape now. I'll call one, two, three later, and we'll all rush together. The southwest side is weaker, I'll take the lead, and you guys will follow. Just rush out first and then talk.”.
Because Yu Qian was standing closer to the inside just now, he hadn't been tied up yet.
As a result, Yu Qian untied the others one by one.
After they were all untied, several people got up from the ground.
Yu Qian began to whisper, "Listen to my orders, one, two"
Everyone concentrated their attention, preparing to catch him by surprise and concentrate their firepower to escape.
Just when Yu Qian was about to shout "three".
The strong man suddenly returned and shouted: "Oh, it turns out to be brother Yu Qian. The prince has invited me."
"three!"
At this time, Yu Qian's "three" had already been shouted out.
Hear the word "three".
Several people used all their strength to run forward in one direction.
The strong man chased after him: "Brother Yu Qian, why are you running away? The prince is leaving you to drink, don't leave?? It was our fault just now. How offending we are."
Yu Qian: "????"
As a result, Yu Qian immediately stopped and moved his body.
Because he couldn't run out, as soon as he ran away, the people moved their steps one after another, blocking their way.
Luzhi County whispered: "What's going on? Do you know Tang Tianbao?"
Yu Qian: "I don't know."
The strong man ran over, pulled Yu Qian and said, "Brother Yu Qian, why are you running?"
Yu Qian smiled awkwardly: "Hey, every time I meet Brother Tang, he makes me drink and drinks all kinds of things from me. I really don't want to drink with him."
The strong man said: "What are you talking about? The prince said that no matter what, I will invite you over for a drink."
Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Then I would rather obey than obey."
Then, he looked at Lu Zhixian and others and said, "You should go back first, and I will follow you to meet with my elder brother."
Lu Zhixian nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, a thousand cups of wine are too few to drink with a close friend. Yu Qian, please drink with the prince alive, so we will leave first."
The three soldiers Yu Qian brought, led by Xiaoqi, walked to Yu Qian and whispered: "Yu Qian, what's the situation? Is there anything going on? Do you want me to go back and bring in reinforcements?"
Yu Qian whispered: "No, you wait outside the village. If I haven't come out in three days, I will report it to the Imperial Master."
Xiaoqi said: "Yu Qian, then you should be careful in everything."
Yu Qian nodded, then turned and walked towards the strong man, "Lead the way."
Up the mountain.
Yu Qian finally saw the true face of the Tang family in Lushan.
The houses on the mountain are stacked on top of each other, located halfway up the mountain. The entire mountain road is built with bluestones section by section, just like an ancient town.
Many pedestrians can be seen walking up and down the mountain. They seem to be villagers from this village. It is also possible that the entire mountain is made up of tenants and slaves of the Tang family.
After walking for more than a mile, I came across a street. There were more than a dozen shops here, selling oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, firewood, rice, oil and salt. It was hard to imagine that this was a village.
Crossing the street and looking up, the tallest building is majestic, with red walls and green tiles, towering and seemingly blending into the sky.
Above the main entrance of the mansion, there is a huge gold plaque with the four characters "Tang Family Courtyard" written on it, which shows the glory and majesty of the owner.
"Please come in."
The strong man Yu Qian led him to the mansion. It was very huge inside, just like a royal palace, covering an area of at least thirty or forty acres.
Yu Qian followed the strong man to a courtyard of the mansion.
The place is full of greenery. Along with the original topography of the mountain, it is filled with various fruit trees, flowers and plants. It is fragrant all year round.
It can be seen that this is the living room, where the host and guests drink tea and chat, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery of the mountains.
In the center of the courtyard, there is an exquisite pavilion.
The pavilion is surrounded by a green lawn. There is a mahogany table and a few chairs in the pavilion, which looks very elegant.
At this time, a young man in his thirties was drinking at the wooden table under the pavilion. This man was none other than Tang Tianbao, the eldest son of the Tang family.
"Your Majesty, Yu Qian has brought you."
The strong man Yu Qian brought him over, then bowed his hands and retreated.
"sit."
Tang Tianbao smiled and waved for Yu Qian to sit down.
Then he poured wine from a white jade porcelain jug and hip flask, poured a glass for Yu Qian, and pushed it over.
"I've met Young Master Tang."
Yu Qian cupped his hands and sat down. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tianbao Gourd and why he wanted to save himself today.
"Haha. I, Tang Tianbao, am very lucky. Suddenly I have a brother, Yu Qian, who is second in the national examination. It is really lucky."
Tang Tianbao drank a cup by himself, then drank it all in one gulp and looked at Yu Qian.
When Yu Qian saw this, he couldn't refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it.
"Good wine."
Yu Qian praised, and then said: "Master Tang also took the national examination, right?"
"That's right, but it's a pity that I don't have the talent of little brother Yu Qian, so I failed in my ranking and only passed the exam with a score of over 1,000."
Tang Tianbao smiled and said: "It's impossible for me to be the head of the district like you, right? I can't afford to lose face. Besides, my Tang family is built on a mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's such a geomantic treasure. , Why should I go out to endure hardships? Wouldn’t it be good to live here? It would be so pleasant to make friends as talented as you and talk about poetry and songs!"
Yu Qian nodded: "That's indeed good. Today, Mr. Xie Tang has rescued Yu Qian. Yu Qian proposes a toast to you."
Tang Tianbao looked very kind, clinked glasses with him, and then said: "But it seems that little brother Yu Qian wants to destroy such a good day?"
Yu Qian said with a smile: "Young Master Tang should not be offended when he is in his position, plans his political affairs, eats the emperor's salary, and is loyal to the emperor. It's not that Yu Qian wants to destroy, how could Yu Qian have such great ability, but the national teacher, the imperial court , we need to change the law, we need to reform. Yu Qian can only implement it."
Tang Tianbao smiled and said: "What a person who eats the emperor's salary and is loyal to the emperor. Brother Yu Qian, I toast you."
Yu Qian retorted, then took out a bag of peanuts from his body and said: "You need peanuts when you drink. These are small buttery peanuts from Jianzhou. They have a mellow taste and are perfect to accompany wine."
Tang Tianbao doubtfully picked up one, peeled it open and tasted it. His eyes lit up immediately and he said: "It's delicious. It tastes very good. It's perfect for drinking. I didn't expect that this peanut is grown in Jianzhou. It's so delicious." Different.”
The two chatted while eating, looking very harmonious.
The two of them each have their own hidden agendas and goals.
Tang Tianbao wanted to get information from Yu Qian.
Yu Qian also tried to open a breakthrough from Tang Tianbao.
Suddenly, Tang Tianbao changed the topic and asked: "Brother Yu Qian, I have something to puzzle over. You clearly ranked second in the national examination and could be a high official in the capital. Why did you come here to be the district chief?"
