At noon, Liang Chuan stayed alone in the store while Yi Niang came to deliver food to Liang Chuan. The store was so boring. Liang Chuan sat there and yawned all day long. He didn't have a chance to talk to anyone. No wonder Xiaochai was so upset after staying there for two days.
"Third brother, it's time to eat!" Yi Niang delivered the meal to her husband, feeling happy in her heart and smiling all over her face. Liang Chuan saw it and asked, "Why is Yi Niang so happy today? Is there anything happy?"
Yi Niang put the basket with food on the table, took out all the food inside, then brought the basket to Liang Chuan, shook it, and said, "Third brother, what do you think of this basket?"
Liang Chuan took the basket. The bamboo strips on the basket were brand new. When he got closer and smelled it, the fragrance of bamboo was still faintly visible. It was a freshly made bamboo weaving, but the shape was still very irregular. The craftsmanship had just started and he had no experience in it, but he was already good at using it. Problem.
Liang Chuan smiled with satisfaction: "Did you make this bamboo basket or Erhua?"
"Sister Erhua's work is extremely beautiful, and that's why my work is so ugly." Yi Niang is very honest and won't tell lies.
"Actually, what you made won't look ugly, it's already very beautiful. Li Erhua's craftsmanship is passed down in the family and is refined every day. You have only been doing it for a few days, and you have already put a lot of effort into making bamboo weaving with this effect. Don't be in a hurry, good craftsmanship can't be rushed." Liang Chuan comforted Yi Niang.
Yi Niang brought him a bowl of braised pork. There wasn't much meat, just a few pieces, because Liang Chuan didn't like eating meat very much. But there are quite a lot of vegetables, including two or three bowls of wild vegetables, spring sprouts, bitter greens and bracken. She was also puzzled that few people in ordinary families would like to eat these dishes, but her husband had a special liking for these dishes.
"Yiniang, have you eaten?" Liang Chuan picked up the chopsticks and started using them.
"Third brother, I'm afraid you don't have enough to eat. It's okay. After you finish eating, I'll eat again when I go back." Yi Niang held her chin and felt even happier when she saw Liang Chuan eating so deliciously.
At this time, there was a sound of a cane tapping on the bluestone outside the house, and an old man staggered into Wanda's store with a cane.
Liang Chuan took a look at this old man. Although he was very young, he had a calm expression on his face. He was not an ordinary rural old man. Liang Chuan's heart skipped a beat. Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
After the old man entered the store, he raised his head and looked around at the layout of the store. The whole store was as legendary. Nothing was sold. The store was empty. There were only three couplets hung at the door and inside the store. There was a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain hanging behind the store counter. There was nothing else. It was just such a small store. Now his reputation is not inferior to that of his Xiating Tower.
"Sure enough, heroes come from youth. When did Fengshan give birth to a hero like you? Old man, I don't even know. When people get old, they have to step down and give way to others. If you keep occupying the position, you will be disgusted." The old man said something like this. What he told Liang Chuan sounded like he was talking to himself.
"Old sir, what are you...?" Liang Chuan thought he was going to read a few couplets, and he looked attentively.
"I am Lizheng from Fengshan, and my surname is Jiang." Since Jiang Lizheng had something to ask for, he directly announced his family name when they met.
"It turned out to be Jiang Lizheng. I'm disrespectful. I just arrived in Guibao. I should have gone to pay homage to the mountain. But I can only be regarded as a low-ranking little person. I have the temerity to go to you, the head of the village. I'm afraid I will humiliate myself." , you don’t like it either.” Liang Chuan laughed.
"Two young people from the Yang family have died because of you. Today, Yang Zhongshan, I wonder if you can be noble and let him go. If there is anything I can't do to you, let me take him back and educate him someday." I will definitely come and admit my mistake to you." Jiang Lizheng's words were sincere, and there was even a hint of submission in his tone.
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said, "Jiang Lizheng hasn't eaten yet. Don't stand all the time. My wife has brought some food. I can't finish it by myself. You can eat some together."
"No, old man, I can wait until you finish your meal before talking to you."
Liang Chuan was holding rice in his mouth, and Jiang Li was standing upright in the shop like an old pine tree, with a rickety posture. He closed his eyes tightly, like an old monk in meditation, waiting quietly.
Liang Chuan's eating appearance was not good-looking, and he ate loudly, which was incompatible with the gentleman's requirement of being silent when eating and sleeping, and was perverse and casual.
"You eat slower, eating too fast is not good for your health." Even Yi Niang couldn't stand it anymore.
The braised pork made by Yi Niang is fat but not greasy. In ancient times, domestic pigs ate real food, which was usually leftovers from the kitchen of every household. There was no pig feed and no clenbuterol. It doesn’t require any sophisticated cooking methods to make the ultimate delicious food, which will leave a lasting aroma in your mouth. Coupled with crispy wild vegetables, the taste is fresh and tender, refreshing and refreshing, and paired with a bowl of snow-white rice, life is simple and happy.
After finishing the meal, Liang Chuan wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands with satisfaction and began to get down to the topic: "Jiang Lizheng, just what did you mean when you said that two young people from the Yang family died because of me? I have never taken the initiative to provoke you Yang. From home, right?"
"Oh, they say that noble people tend to forget things. Yang Chun of the Yang family probably just asked to be killed not long ago, and Yang Xing died suddenly on the same day. Liang Chuan, do you really not remember anything at all?"
Jiang Lizheng's tone was a little stiff, with a hint of anger.
After hearing these two names, Yi Niang subconsciously took a few steps back, and the painful memories of that day came to mind. These two people had brought many nightmares to their family, and a series of incidents all started because of these two people. Otherwise, they would still be burning coal at the foot of Mount Helu at this time, and they would not have to worry about others every day.
A chill flashed in Liang Chuan's eyes, and he said: "Jiang Lizheng, Yang Xing and Yang Chun were planning to assault my wife on the street. If I hadn't happened to follow my wife, my wife's innocence might have been lost. I know you guys We are relatives, but you are the head of the village. Can you allow them to violate laws and disciplines and bully weak civilians?"
"Whether they molested your wife first, I don't know. Alas, you Liang Chuan didn't have to be so cruel. Then Yang Xing was beaten to death by you, and you actually framed Yang Chun, causing Yang Chun to Being sentenced to death by the magistrate, what a cruel method." Jiang Lizheng's eyes were like a knife, and he wanted to gouge out a few holes in Liang Chuan's body.
Liang Chuan raised the corners of his mouth and sneered again and again. As expected, people are all dark under the lamp. He can see the darkness in others in the distance, but he can't see the darkness under his own nose. "Jiang Lizheng, I don't know where you heard about Yang Xing who I killed, but I had a sense of how heavy my attack should be. Yang Xing might have been injured at the time, but it was far from being seriously injured and died suddenly. Besides, I was there Yang Xing’s body was examined at the county government court and it was clear that he was bled to death rather than being beaten.”
Jiang Lizheng heard what Liang Chuan said so confidently that there was no refutation between the lines of his words.
Liang Chuan continued: "I injured Yang Chun and Yang Xing at that time. Yang Chun was thin and his injuries should have been more serious. As a result, Yang Chun appeared in court fine, but Yang Xing died. If I hadn't guessed the link If I'm wrong, this kid Yang Chun can't get away with it. At that time, I might have almost become someone else's scapegoat. It's just that I was lucky, and only the official Zheng Zuliang came forward to protect me, so I escaped. The truth of the matter is probably that people in the yamen It all came out from Yang Chun's mouth, otherwise the case would not have been reported to the Criminal Division or the Criminal Department after the trial."
Jiang Lizheng closed his eyes in pain. He had long heard about the grievances between the young people named Yang, but he turned a blind eye. They were fighting not only for territory and power, but also for several casinos in Fengshan and even his lower pavilion. .
There is a lot of money to be made in places like Fengshan. No matter how good brothers or relatives are involved with money interests, they are not even friends, and they will extend their poisonous hands to each other. I am afraid that the truth of the matter is really like Liang Chuan From what he said, he was also being used.
"Don't mention the past grievances anymore. You are a person. Fengshan is so small and cannot tolerate a giant python like you. Today I just want to say that my grandson Yang Zhongshan is only too young and neglects discipline to commit crimes. .Zheng Dutou asked me to come to you, saying that you could help me rescue my grandson. I have never been so polite to anyone in Fengshan. Liang Chuan, can you sell me a favor today and not be as knowledgeable as a child? "
"Lord Li Zheng, you praise me too much. Okay, respecting the old and caring for the young is the virtue of our nation, and I have to abide by it today. In this way, I want to ask you about someone. If it is convenient, I also hope you can sell me one. Favor.”
Jiang Lizheng had never dealt with Liang Chuan before, let alone had any friendship with anyone around him. Who of his people would he have on his hands?
"You tell me."
Liang Chuan thought about the person he met in Xinghua Prison that day, and said: "I heard that there is a scholar in Helu, who was a teacher in your mansion. Later, he was framed and thrown into Xinghua Prison. He was sent to Xinghua Prison in vain. He has secured his own bright future, this little man doesn’t know if Mr. Rizheng still remembers it.”
Jiang Lizheng did not expect that Liang Chuan would suddenly mention this name at this juncture. The fact that he could mention Meng Liangchen meant that he knew the root cause behind it. This was a big scandal in the family. He wished that the old prisoner Meng Liangchen would die in prison and leave. If you go to prison, the smell of your own family may spread all over the country!
Jiang Lizheng snorted coldly and said: "What's the use of being a pedantic scholar? A nerd shaking his head with two books in his arms. How did he get in touch with you?"
"Master Li Zheng has a good memory and I haven't forgotten him yet. He has not been on the line with me. It doesn't sound good to say that. He is just a friend who asked me to do a favor. I don't know if Jiang Lizheng is willing to come forward. I believe that young man He is definitely not guilty. This case has been pending for a long time. If it goes to the Ministry of Punishment for review, there will probably be many doubts. Why don't you give the young man a chance to build a seven-level pagoda with a little effort... It can also be regarded as accumulating some virtue for your grandson. "
