Bi's father had seen the visitor before.
Previously, when Bi's father was watching people building a yard, he had seen this person entering and exiting the farmland on the left.
Therefore, when he saw someone coming over to say hello, Bi's father smiled and greeted him as a neighbor.
Unexpectedly, the visitor pointed at the three small courtyards with his hands on his hips and asked, "Who asked you to build a house here?"
Bi's father was stunned when asked.
He asked with a flattering smile: "This fifty acres of land belongs to my family, and it needs to be managed by someone. That's why I built the yard here. I wonder what you are asking about? Who else needs approval to build a village yard?" ?"
The man who looked like a manager snorted, looked at the country peasants and squinted his eyes and opened his mouth and said: "This is the metropolis, even if it is in the suburbs, it belongs to the boundaries of the metropolis.
This land is precious. Your family only has fifty acres of land. The house you want to build can only be built within the fifty acres of land. Who allowed you to build outside?
Do you know whose territory this is? Who does it belong to? You dare to cover it randomly? Okay, you can get out, I tell you, this is my master’s territory, you have crossed the line, do you understand? "
Bi's father was stunned.
He ignored his anger and asked doubtfully: "How come this is your master's territory? It's obviously all grassy land. Every piece of soil was leveled by me. How come it belongs to your family?" What’s more? Besides, I’ve been doing this for so long and it’s really yours, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
The manager said "hum" again and continued to look askance at the person.
"My master's land can be planted if he likes it, or left uncultivated if he likes it. Do you, an old fellow, need to take care of it? Let me tell you, not only the place where you are standing, but also the entire mountain behind here belongs to my master. Yes. He just likes to use it for hunting, it’s none of your business! Get out of here and come back here again, be careful of breaking your legs!”
Bi's father couldn't explain why. A man who had been honest all his life was angry when he saw that all the hard work he had put into his family was about to be taken away with just a few words.
He picked up the hoe and hit it.
But before he even touched the other party's clothes, he was knocked to the ground by the two nurses brought by the other party.
Moreover, he was beaten until his skin was torn and blood flowed, and even one of his legs was severely damaged.
The Bi family waited for a long time and Bi's father did not return. Bi Zimo's eldest brother, Bi Zichen, came to find his father, who was already unconscious.
He quickly carried his father home and sent people to find Bi Zimo.
Hearing that his father had been beaten and had one of his legs broken, Bi Zimo thought about his family's poverty, so he borrowed some money from people everywhere and went back to hire a doctor to treat his father.
Only then did I know the whole story.
After punching the wall more than a dozen times, he finally suppressed his anger and went to find out who owned the farm next to him and the forest over there.
After the investigation, a complaint was filed against Wu Bohao, the current Taiwei, the eldest brother of His Majesty's uncle's family.
In front of all the civil and military officials, at the beginning of the morning, the complaint was handed over to His Majesty's desk.
Taiwei, an official of the first rank, with the surname Wu.
Wu Bohao laughed when he saw that a small civil servant of the Hanlin Academy actually sued him in front of the court.
Without a smile, he stood up and confronted Bi Zimo.
"The mighty mountain in the eastern suburbs has been owned by Ben Taiwei fifteen years ago. The court only allocated fifty acres of land to your family, but you were greedy and wanted to take more, and even occupied Ben Taiwei's land. Go up to the territory, oh.
I didn't hold you accountable, but just drove you away. Your father wanted to beat you. What's wrong? Why don't I, Taiwei's men, be allowed to fight back and just be beaten obediently?
Doesn't this mean that even Po Tian'er doesn't have the same truth? I was expecting you to be a new official, but I didn't understand the rules, so I didn't argue with you. Instead, you came to the court to complain. Are you really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and no one dares to challenge you? "
Bi Zimo: "..."
At this moment, he realized that he was not so sure.
However, this matter was clearly set up by the other party.
He shook his long hair and retorted: "When my father built the house, he drew lines. Within three days of drawing the lines, he would hoe weeds, prepare the land, and level the stones every day. Your people clearly saw it. But he didn't stop him.
Does this count as verbal acquiescence? This is also valid above the law.
Not only that, the entire construction of the house took a full month and a half, and so many people came in and out. You saw them every day, but didn't say a word. This can be regarded as a kind of tacit consent in words and deeds.
And when the house is built and people are about to live in it, you jump out and say that this is your territory and you want to drive people away and occupy it. What kind of logic is this?
My father was impulsive and intimidating, but at that time there were five of you and he was alone there. How could he really overestimate his ability and attack you?
He didn't meet any of your people at all, did he? Is it wrong to scare the other person? Just let others bully you like this? "
Lieutenant Wu laughed.
The superficial smile turned into a "haha" laugh, and the beard under the chin trembled with laughter.
"Are you still reasonable? You ran to my property and started to build things. My people saw it and couldn't deal with it. They had to wait until they reported it to me before making a decision.
It's just that I didn't find Captain Ben, so I didn't respond to your father in time. Oh, does this make you take charge?
Could it be said that you can stay in someone else's house when your master is away for business? Will the house and land be yours from now on? There is no such truth, is there?
What happened? You know clearly that they are just servants of this Taiwei's family, and they have no right to make the decision at all. You can just use their acquiescence as an excuse to seize my territory. Who gave you the courage?
Or do you mean that your servants have the right to help their master make decisions? Can they just let it go?
Then they said that your house and fields belong to my family. Do all your family members have to move out and give their home to me? What kind of truth is this? ah?
Come on, tell me this: Who taught you to think this way? Did you read this book into the dog's belly?
You are serious. You are a newborn baby who doesn’t understand shit and is just yelling at me here. Who gave you the face? Go away and learn the laws first before you say these words to this captain.
I’m telling you, I’m just saying a few polite words to you because this is the morning court and for His Majesty’s sake. Don’t be shameless. "
The ministers in the Wu family camp were heard cheering for Wu Bohao one after another. In the past, they only thought that Wu Bohao was just a man with a job and a free meal. Who would have thought that he would actually talk the truth and still be reasonable.
Sure enough, no minister is given free money.
