Uncle Liu's face was ashen: "It seems that someone has taken a fancy to the good land in his family."
Mr. Li understands clearly that in this case, generally speaking, the people do not punish the officials, so why go to all the trouble to find you to investigate?
It's impossible and not necessary.
Although it is said that you can collect money, it is not on a large scale and not for everyone. It is only a few dollars. A few hundred pennies is not worth the trouble.
The most important thing is that the county magistrate doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. This kind of thing is usually taken care of by the chief clerk below.
The imperial power does not go to the countryside, but relies on the gentry and elders in the countryside.
Since the country gentleman did not file a complaint, it means that he allowed this kind of thing to happen, and he was just an unmarried woman.
So generally speaking, someone must be trying to steal something from this woman's home.
What is the most valuable thing about a rural farmhouse?
What can’t you take with you when you get married?
It's very simple, the one thing that is ready to come out is the field.
Uncle Liu explained to Li Captou: "Wang Ajiu's parents died early, leaving only a twelve-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son.
Six acres of thin farmland were also left behind.
In the countryside, his parents died young.
Even if only his father died early, he would be easily deprived of his family.
What's more, her parents died early, so her family's fields were taken care of.
Over the years, her distant uncle had tried to get her married many times in the name of his elders.
In addition to receiving the betrothal gift, he could also occupy several acres of thin farmland.
This child is stubborn and worries that after he gets married, his three or four-year-old brother will starve to death after someone takes away his land.
So I just stuck it out for 4 years. "
Li Captou nodded: "According to rural rules and laws, although you are the village chief, you cannot take anything by force.
But it can be done between relatives. Even if they are clan uncles, if they have not left the fifth service, they are still relatives.
You can take care of the children in the name, transfer the children into your own name, and transfer the land into your own name at the same time. "
Uncle Liu nodded: "That's it. Therefore, every time Miss Ninth rejects her uncle's marriage proposal, we neighbors are behind her to support her.
Otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold on!
But I didn't expect that the other party would kill a little girl like a flower just for this mere six acres of thin farmland.
What kind of good person can there be in the official match?
A lame man in his forties or fifties, a blind man, or a lazy man?
How cruel! "
Capt. Li nodded: "You can't stop me this time, even if it's official.
It's not easy for us to hide it. This time, we need to confirm it first.
You also know that we dare not lie about this matter. We will report it to the county magistrate after we return.
The county magistrate is going to give this ninth girl a husband!
But it’s not impossible! "
This was what Second Uncle Liu was waiting for. He brought people in to have tea and rice, wasn't he just waiting for a solution?
When arresting people in the countryside, unless it is a major case such as murder or rebellion, they do so in a humane and worldly way.
So he quickly asked: "Captain Li, you have a good idea, but please tell me, as long as the matter is resolved, Miss Jiu will not be able to suffer this disaster, and my brother will have the money to drink!"
Li Captou was very satisfied with how sensible Uncle Liu was, so he smiled and said, "The county magistrate ordered us to go to the countryside for inspection. This is to find out the truth, but that is not important. The important thing is to find Zuo Qianjun to find his nephew as the county magistrate." Potency.
Cha Wang Ajiu is not married beyond his age, it is just a matter of chance.
You just need to marry Wang Ajiu before I finish looking for Zuo Qianjun, exchange the marriage certificate, and then we are married.
Now that we are married, there is no such thing as not getting married at sixteen, and there is no such thing as being married to a bachelor in his forties or fifties, an orphan, a disabled person, and a widower.
You won't tell me that in the two villages near you, you can't find a young handsome man who can marry Wang Ajiu, right? "
Uncle Liu suddenly understood and nodded quickly: "I can find it, I can find it. Mr. Li, please sit down and have tea for a moment while I go to the kitchen to see how the fat goose is cooking!"
Li Qiaotou nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for the goose stew made by my wife!"
"well!"
After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he hurried out the door. His kitchen was obviously next to the main room, but he actually ran out of the door in front of the two detectives.
Capt. Li and Capt. Wang quickly looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
"It seems we can still have a wedding banquet today!" Li Captou said after chewing a fried bean.
"It is indeed a wedding banquet, and everyone is happy, but the taxes owed still have to be paid!
And it’s two years! "
Captain Wang quickly nodded and said.
"Um!"
Miss Ninth was a little flustered. She did not go back to the house, but waited not far from Uncle Liu's door.
Uncle Liu saw her as soon as he went out and hurriedly came over and explained the situation.
Hearing that it was her clan uncle who was making bad remarks again, Miss Ninth was also desperate: "Once you marry Yuan Yuan, I won't be able to take care of the Wang family's affairs.
My brother's six acres of thin farmland are the foundation of his family and cannot be lived without.
Without these six acres of thin farmland, he would starve to death! "
Uncle Liu said repeatedly: "The only way now is to marry you off today.
If you want to take care of your brother after getting married, then find someone from our two villages.
Otherwise you will be officially matched!
A man married to an official may be lonely, old, crippled and lazy, but he is not a good person anyway.
When the time comes, let alone taking care of your brother, you won't even be able to take care of yourself.
There is only one way now, and that is to find someone in this village and marry him! "
When Miss Ninth heard this, she looked sad: "Uncle Liu, if we had told this matter two months earlier, there might be a way.
But now, except for the older ones, all the marriageable men in this village and the neighboring village have gone to do corvee service.
In this hurry, how can I find someone to marry in half a day? "
Uncle Liu's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you think of Chen Yun?"
Miss Jiu thought it was okay!
Chen Yun was tall and handsome, and his skin was fairer than those of countrymen like them. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
"Uncle Liu, this is impossible!
My uncle said that Brother Chen Yun is a young man from a wealthy family, and his living habits and skin are not comparable to those of us countrymen. There is no way between me and him. "
Uncle Liu thought it was Chen Yun when he heard it. He was taller than ordinary people, handsome and fair-skinned.
Who has fair skin?
Can people who don't often bask in the sun, and who work in the fields all day long, have white skin?
Moreover, although the memory is lost, the living habits are not lost.
Wash your hands before eating, brush your teeth with toner when you get up early, etiquette at the dinner table, etc.
Especially the etiquette at the dinner table, if you compare it with those farmers who squat down to the door and start eating with big bowls, it is like heaven and earth.
Uncle Liu sighed, what should we do?
But then he thought about it, no matter what Chen Yun's status was before, he was just a junior in his uncle's family now.
In this case, there is still room for maneuver on this matter.
"Now, let's get married first. If we feel unworthy later, we can divorce at the worst possible time.
Maybe he will never be able to remember who he was before! "
