Speaking of this stubble, the Qian family was also full of sourness, and tears poured down as he spoke, crying and scolding Dong Xu for not being a human being and a loser.

Dong Ce had a contemplative expression on his face, sat on the chair, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he was silent.

At this time, a voice like a broken gong suddenly came from outside: "The second child is back?" Why don't you tell me? I heard that you are developed, hurry, get some money for Lao Tzu. ”

Then, a person broke in, about twenty-four or five years old, with a medium build, and his appearance was similar to Dong Ce's, but at this time, the clothes on his body were very old and tattered, and there was a lot of dust on them, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body.

Qian screamed: "You dead ghost, not only gambling money, but also daring to give your mother a drink? ”

"Oh, the lady is too!" Dong Xu was obviously a little afraid of the Qian family, so he smiled and said hello, but he didn't even look at the mother who was sitting on the top.

He stretched out his hand to Dong Ce and said impatiently: "Hurry up, get money for Lao Tzu, don't fucking grind." ”

Dong Ce's face pulled: "What if I don't give it?" ”

"Don't give it?" Dong Xu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of anger, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he slapped Dong Ce and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, and you turned against you......"

Dong Ce grabbed his hand [一^本^read^novel][.[ yb][du].] wrist, stretched out his foot and kicked him hard in the lower abdomen, kicked him out of the distance, and held his stomach on the ground and screamed loudly.

"What's that?" Dong Cetie's face was blue, and he waved his hand: "Drag it out and fight!" Kill it! ”

"You little rabbit, how dare you do it to me? I'm your brother......" Dong Xu scolded.

Shi Jin walked over, covered his mouth and dragged him out: "You shut up for me!" ”

Then I heard the sound of punching and kicking outside, among which Dong Xu screamed loudly and begged for mercy, each of which was like a heavy hammer slammed into Qian's heart. She finally couldn't hold back any longer, and begged with a pale face: "Erlang, sister-in-law beg, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die...... One of them is your brother! ”

Dong Ce waved his hand lightly: "Don't worry, I have measure." ”

Naturally, he wouldn't really want to beat Dong Xu to death, but this beating must be extremely ruthless, so ruthless that Dong Xu will definitely remember this lesson.

At this time, his mind was already thinking about the house and watering the ground.

There is no doubt that Dong Xu is letting people cheat, but if you set this thing in the casino, unless you see through it on the spot and catch the evidence, you can only consider yourself unlucky. When you want to find a venue, there is no door, and people don't admit it at all, but say that you can't afford to lose, and you are bullying.

Now it is not so easy for Dong Ce to bully people even if he wants to use his power - there are people behind the casino.

And those who can have such power must be the big families here, which are deeply rooted here and have a wide range of contacts. The strong dragon is not the head snake, not to mention that Dong Ce is not a strong dragon.

"Where's my big gun?" Dong Ce suddenly thought of something and asked urgently.

Qian said, "What big gun?" ”

"It's the ash pole left by my father to shoot the gun, where is it?"

"What big gun? I don't know, but the things left by my father-in-law are sealed in the warehouse of the East Wing, and they haven't moved. Qian said with a sad face, she peeked at Dong Ce, and then excused herself: "That dead ghost wanted to take it out and sell it, so I stopped it." How can the things left by our ancestors be lost in our hands? ”

"The ancestral house, the watering of the ground, aren't they all lost in your hands?" Dong Ce snorted lightly and said lightly.

Qian's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak again.

Dong Ce took a deep breath, and he had already made a decision in his heart. This ancestral house and real estate are all handed down from the ancestors, and my father worked hard with one hand and one foot, how can it be so unclear that people can swallow it in a vague way? Not to mention that the ash pole gun is enough to be a reason to make up your mind.

At this time, Shi Jin dragged Dong Xu in again, he was covered in blood and soil, he looked embarrassed, he was paralyzed on the ground and just cried vigorously, looking at Dong Ce and howling: "Erlang, my brother doesn't dare anymore, you can spare it......"

Qian Shi gasped, after all, he felt sorry for his man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him and glared angrily at Shi Jin: "Why are you so ruthless!" ”

Dong Ce was very unkind to them, but Shi Jin didn't dare to slack off, after all, it was an adult's business, and we subordinates still had to be cautious. Who knows which day, the relationship between the adults and the family will be eased, won't these brothers and sisters-in-law be the best people? He clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "I don't know the severity of the matter, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Even on Qiao's face, there was also a trace of unbearable color.

Dong Ce knew that Shi Jin had always been measured, and Dong Xu looked miserable, but in fact, it was just a flesh wound, at most it hurt for two days, and it would never hurt his muscles and bones. He ignored him Dong Xu, and just asked, "Which one is behind the casino?" ”

Qian hurriedly said: "It's the Su family." ”

"The Su family?" Dong Ce's brows furrowed.

After thinking for a moment, he got up: "Zhou Zhong, you stay here to take care of it, Shi Jin, a few of you, come with me." ”

"Yes!" The crowd answered.

Qian's face was overjoyed, Dong Ce caught a glimpse of it, and sneered coldly: "What are you happy about?" This mansion and property are not yours to take back. ”

Qian's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he smiled.

I went out to the south and came to the central area of Lingyidu, not far from the Dragon King Temple, across a small alley, which was the gate of the Su family.

It is in this area that can be called the 'luxury residential area' of this era, and the Su family's mansion can also be called prominent and magnificent.

The surface of the two-zhang high wall is wrapped with large blue bricks, neat and neat, and the three-foot-high wall base made of square, grinding disc-sized bluestone is used below, which is much stronger than the broken wall of Lingyidu. The main entrance is a two-storey archway three stories high, and the first floor has a large black plaque, with two large gold characters written on the book "Su Fu". The second layer below is another plaque, with four words on it - scholarly door.

Each word is two feet square, and the iron is painted with silver hooks, and it is obvious that the person who writes is very good and can write such big characters.

The black door below is covered with copper nails the size of a teacup, and there are five bluestone steps in front of the door, and on each side are several small men wearing green clothes and small hats, each holding a stick in their hands.

Wealthy families, but that's it.

In fact, this Su family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Lingyidu, and even in all the villages and fortresses in the vicinity.

The Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to cultivating and reading heirlooms, and it is because many scholars are not from the city, on the contrary, the annual jinshi and the people in the provinces are mostly from the rural gentry and wealthy peasant families. And many wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty are not in the city, but in the countryside.

This Su family is a typical example of not too big or small.

To what extent is the power of Su Fu, you don't even need to look at how much real estate he has in his family, looking at the luxury of the mansion, you only need to look at the four words 'scholarly door' on the plaque. These four words, in the Ming Dynasty, not everyone can use it, if it is a military general, even if it is at the level of the general general, if you dare to hang this sign at the door of your own house, you have to let those scholars show up to smash their homes!

The Su family dares to use it!

The great-grandfather of the current head of the Su family is the person who raised the political envoy of Shanxi in the year of Jiajing, and in the Ming Dynasty, where the scholars were the most respectable and the highest social status, they were a showman, and they were also very good in the countryside. This is not as simple as a fame, but a real power -- if you are a talent and have fame, you don't have to pay taxes to the state, and you can also receive a lot of subsidies from the county school every month, and these savings are enough to provide for the whole family.

Now that the situation is difficult, it is already a great happiness to be able to eat enough and have a safe family.

And if you are admitted to the exam, you can even be an official, of course, you can't be too big an official in this life, even if the prefect of the fifth grade is the top of the sky, but you must also know that in the eyes of the villagers, a seven-grade magistrate is already a local emperor who holds the power of life and death! The ancestors of the Su family once served as officials in Huailai and other places below Xuanfu Town, and the largest was the general judgment of Taiyuan Mansion, which is the largest official in this area in a hundred years, which can be said to be a glorious township, and the Su family has also developed with it.

When the ancestor of the Su family was just raised in middle school, he cultivated and read the heirloom, and the family was also very poor, and when he was appointed to the general judge in the seventeenth year of Wanli, the family already had more than 800 acres of good fertile land, a big mansion in Lingyidu, and shops in several nearby towns.

The Su family has never raised people since then, but there are one or two Xiucai in each generation, and the current head of the family, Su Yimo, is also a Xiucai, and the Su family can also be regarded as a scholarly heirloom.

Development to this day, in this Lingyidu, the Su family is already an out-and-out first family, there are more than 3,000 acres of fertile land, distributed in Lingyidu, Shilipu, Liupuzhuang, Dasunzhuang, Yangjiazhuang and other places, every year just rent can collect more than 100,000 catties. The grain in one warehouse and one warehouse is very greedy, and there are more than 100 tenants at home, and the strength is extremely huge.

However, although it is also developed, their family has always stayed in this Lingyidu and has not moved away.

However, the situation has become more and more difficult in the past few years, and it is really dangerous to stay in such poorly protected villages and towns, and the Su family has planned to move away slowly.

Dong Ce stood at the corner of the alley, squinting and looking outside, the light in his eyes flickering.

The Su Mansion in front of him is not just a mansion, but an intricately intertwined behemoth with strong financial resources, and more importantly, the family built by these generations is extremely powerful, and its influence in all walks of life in officialdom is even deeper.
