Chapter 98: Much Ado About Nothing
An Saburo unloaded the bundles of grain on his back, pushed open the courtyard door, and shouted, "Sister, have you rested?" I came back from the grain. ”
As soon as the list fell, a few people suddenly came out of the dark shadow next to him and grabbed An Saburo. Someone said aggrievedly: "This is An Saburo, he was the first to say that he would cut his own grain at night." It's not right to do a good job—"
Chang Wei said sharply: "What crazy things to say!" You eat the food of the camp and give you rice every day, but you do your own work! Isn't that theft! How much grain did the imperial court spend to build this camp and farm work, hoping to collect some grain and rice, but they were abducted and deceived by you thieves! Needless to say, arrest people and take them to Baozheng's house. Severely punish the first offender today, and see who dares to do these things in the future! ”
Sister Thursday watched her husband being pressed to the ground, wiped her tears and said to Liu Adao: "Brother Liu, San Lang just doesn't want me to endure hardship, so I work day and night to collect more food." Even if you make a mistake, look at the past, don't be embarrassed for him, okay? ”
Liu Ah Da secretly glanced at Chang Wei and said in a low voice: "Fourth sister rest assured, the villagers in the big hometown will definitely maintain San Lang's thoughtfulness." It's just that this Zhizhou slave doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, and he always goes against us people. ”
Sister Thursday wiped her tears and begged those present one by one not to embarrass her husband.
Chang Wei was impatient and said viciously: "What's the use of crying? If you are really good for your husband, let him work hard in the future, and don't learn to be a thief! You see that he cut such a big bundle and came back, is there so much in the day? ”
Sister Thursday didn't dare to speak out.
An Saburo raised his face and said loudly: "I didn't delay the work in the village, so what's wrong with doing some work for my own house while it's okay at night?!" ”
"Ah, ah, I'm not convinced, this is a natural thief!" Chang Wei screamed and kicked him at An Saburo's side. "Now you are cutting grain for the camp work, and you are eating the rice of the camp field, and you are giving out the grain of the camp field. The strength that grows after eating is all in the camp, do you understand? Thou hast done thy work for thy own tonight, and thou shalt do less to-morrow, and thou shalt steal the grain of the camp's work, and thou shalt be a thief. ”
Where did An Saburo believe these crooked theories, his face turned red, and he argued with Chang Wei.
Chang Wei jumped like thunder, slapped An Saburo, and said loudly: "No need to say, take it to Baozheng's house, punish it heavily, and make an example for others!" You are the first to take the lead in going out to do work, and you are the last to come back, which shows greed! ”
After speaking, he took a few strong men from the village on errands, escorted An Saburo, and went to Baozheng's house by moonlight.
Baozheng Guan Chaoyin stood at the door, looking at Chang Wei and a group of people who came, with a gloomy face. Since this evil star came to the village, the village has been full of chickens and dogs, and there is no peace in the village. People from all over the village worked together to create fertile fields in this reed. Although it was hard, it was kind and kind, like a family, to build this village. Chang Wei was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he used a random excuse to cause trouble.
While getting dressed, Guan Jialang came out of the village and said in a low voice: "Daddy, it's already late at night, do you really want me to go to see Zhixian?" ”
Guan Chaoyin sighed: "Is there any way?" Chang Wei is a guest of the Zhizhou Prime Minister, except for the magistrate and county officials, who can control him? You must be careful when you go to the yamen, disturb the magistrate to rest, and make amends. To explain things clearly and how to deal with them, the county magistrate must have accurate instructions. ”
Everyone agreed, and left the house along the black shadow, and walked to the camp and field affairs yamen not far away. In fact, Du Zhongxiao arranged a place for Chang Wei and the three of them to live in the yamen, and the three of them have not returned for a long time, so Du Zhongxiao doesn't care.
Chang Wei led An Saburo to the door of Baozheng's house, saw Baozheng standing outside the door, and said loudly: "Baozheng, isn't this guy a thief when he takes advantage of the night to cut his own grain?" If it is not punished severely, the grain outside will be cut, and when will it be recovered! ”
Guan Chaoyin held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "At night, San Lang went to cut his own grain, what happened in Guan Village?" Each household was given five acres of land, which was originally for them to plant and harvest by themselves. This is the kindness of the county magistrates, the benefits given to the small people, and it is also for recruiting people to cultivate the fields-"
Chang Wei sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused with me!" Now the village harvests grain, and eats the food of the camp and field work, just like an errand! When he was on an errand, he secretly ran back to do his own work, isn't he a thief! Besides, when harvesting grain in the middle of the night, who knows if this guy has stolen other people's grain? ”
Guan Chaoyin looked at An Saburo and asked people to help him into the courtyard, but he didn't bother to talk to Chang Wei. Du Zhongxiao is lenient in the management of farmland, and never puts harsh requirements on farmers who cultivate fields, where is Chang Wei like this. Let people like Chang Wei manage the camp, how many people can be left here to honestly cultivate the fields.
lit the torch, Chang Wei stood in the firelight with his waist crossed, and couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw that the people around him didn't speak. Pointing at An Saburo and said: "This is a thief, if you hit him hard, how can you stop this crooked wind!" Baozheng, find someone to play the board! ”
Guan Chaoyin arched his hand: "The little one is just a Baozheng and does some chores for Yingtian, how dare he beat people indiscriminately." It's better to detain people here, and report to the yamen tomorrow to see what the yamen does. ”
Chang Wei waved his hand again and again: "What do you say, what's the point of playing some boards!" I'm here, you give orders! ”
Guan Chaoyin said: "The officials don't know, the case in the county will be sent to the state at twenty canes." Even the magistrate of the county can only beat people for a maximum of 20 boards, and the small ones dare to beat people casually. ”
Guan Chaoyin deliberately put the number twenty seriously, and Chang Wei listened to it and felt a faint pain in his buttocks. In fact, Du Zhongxiao was twenty for Chang Wei that day, and according to the conversion of big and small canes, it was far less than the upper limit of twenty canes in the county. Guan Chaoyin and these people didn't know, thinking that Du Zhongxiao was playing Changwei board according to the top grid that day, and he took it out from time to time to talk about things.
This is Chang Wei's sore spot, as soon as it was mentioned, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said loudly: "Baozheng, you are in charge of the camp and field work, but you don't care about the strong people working below, and let them cheat and cheat." You are so on an errand, how can you explain to the government? ”
Guan Chaoyin said lightly: "The officials think that I am not suitable, although I declare the yamen, don't change someone." ”
Chang Wei was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but fortunately, he had the lesson of the last time, and he didn't dare to let Qiu Shilong beat people casually.
Camp field affairs yamen, Du Zhongxiao stood up from the side of the desk and stretched. He can take Chang Wei seriously, but he can't take Xia Zhu's instructions lightly, and he must sort out the formation, operation, and management of the camp and field affairs for the state's reference. These days, when he returned to Yamen, he had to record his feelings every day and rearrange the camp and field affairs.
Look at the late night, Du Zhongxiao is ready to rest. At this moment, Chai Xin came in from outside and said with a forked hand: "Official, Guan Dalang, the eldest son of Baozheng of Daliushu Village, is here to see." said that Chang Wei didn't know what was crazy again, and he caught the people who worked at night, and he was making trouble there. ”
Du Zhongxiao frowned: "Is there anything wrong with this Chang Wei?" If you don't do business every day, make trouble here and there! ”
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, Du Zhongxiao said to Chai Xin: "Prepare the horse, go to Daliushu Village!" ”
Chai Xin sighed and turned to go out. I thought I could sleep peacefully tonight, but I didn't expect Chang Wei to make trouble again. This Chang Wei is really like a bed bug, he doesn't do any good things, and he specializes in making trouble for people.
