Dong Ce sat in the dark hut all night.

Except for the occasional blink of his eyes, he was almost motionless, and if others saw it, they would think that it was an extremely realistic sculpture.

He just sat quietly all the time, holding the waist knife tightly in his hand, like an old monk in a steady place, not moving like a mountain.

Finally, the first glimmer of morning light shone in, bringing a glimmer of light and warmth to this little nest.

Dong Ce jumped up suddenly, his face was full of excitement and excitement, a low roar came out of his throat, and he made a gesture of clenching his fists in celebration, his eyes sparkling: "What I expected was really good, not to mention whether Xu Rujian can get the evidence, even if he can get it, he will definitely not dare to touch me at this time!" ”

He has always been a person who plots and then acts, and the reason why he dares to kill people is because he has long expected this - Xu Ruji did not dare to make a move.

Although he has done his best to do things extremely meticulously, first killing Sun Ruhu without leaving a trace, and then successfully eliminating everyone's suspicions with the impression of stupidity he left on others, but this is not enough. There is one person, and his words are enough to make all these efforts made by Dong Ce go to waste.

The management officer Xu Ruji. If he wanted to investigate, Dong Ce would definitely die.

Fortunately, Xu Ruyu and Sun Ruhu have never dealt with each other, and for Sun Ruhu's death, the former should be secretly happy + one + book + read + novel + ybdu.

But if this is just the case, it is not enough to be the reason for Dong Ce's action, after all, the death of an officer with the rank of chief flag is also a big accident, and Xu Rujie always has to give an explanation to the people below and the people above. And he should know very well that Sun Ruhu's family property is embezzled by Dong Ce, if he wants to successfully embezzle Sun Ruhu's inheritance, then it is simply natural to kill Dong Ce.

So if it's in normal times, he'll definitely check it.

However, this is a very delicate moment.

Xu Ruwei is the officer of the Shili Shop Pipe Team who was transferred to Chongzhen in the second year of the hundred households, and it has been exactly five years now, and the military attache stationed in the Ming Dynasty is a big test in five years. The content of the assessment is nothing more than how many battles with the Tartars, how many heads have been cut off, how much land has been newly reclaimed, whether there have been large-scale bad cases in the territory, how many grains have been collected, and so on.

Xu Rujie this person, talent is very mediocre, but he is greedy and ruthless, in recent years under his rule, a lot of money is made, and the land also accounts for a lot, he Chongzhen is alone when he is ten miles in the past two years, and now not only there are three more beautiful girls in the back house, but there are more than 200 acres of land under his name.

But if you want to talk about merit, it is really innocent.

Several times when the Tartars entered the Kou, he ordered everyone to lock the door, and watched the Tartars kill innocent people outside, and he did not open the door to fight; There was not a single cent of the newly cultivated land, but a lot of fertile land was wasted because of the drought; The grain is also decreasing year by year. If these are the only ones, then he can still get a medium evaluation, after all, other realms are also declining, the situation is similar, no one is better than the other, the eldest brother does not say the second brother!

But if Dong Ce's file is shaken out, it will be over.

In any era, the murder of an official is an extremely bad case, a serious case, a serious case, and a very bad case!

Dong Ce will certainly be sentenced to death, and as the direct person in charge of this place, Xu Ruji's official hat will not be able to be saved, not only is a lower evaluation inevitable, but it is possible to cut his post for the people.

Therefore, Dong Ce concluded that he would not dare to move with a ninety percent chance!

Of course, if Dong Ce does too much and leaves too much evidence, then Xu Ruyi can't hide it even if he wants to, and this has to be mastered. That's why Dong Ce took great pains to come up with such a trap that had escaped most people, and his face was at least passable.

Now I am finally relieved.

If Xu Rujian wants to arrest himself, he must have done it yesterday, and he will never delay it so far, and there is no movement today, then it means. He really didn't dare to move himself, not because he didn't want to, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare!

"If it were me, I would do the same, compared to your official hat, what would I be a mole ant-like figure?"

Dong Ce laughed, but he heard a discordant voice.

But it's his own belly.

This night, his spirit was in a state of high concentration, like a tight string, how could he have time to feel hungry? At this moment, as soon as the whole person relaxed, he suddenly felt a burst of hunger.

Dong Ce patted his stomach and smiled lightly: "Stomach, wait until I get back what belongs to us first, and then treat you well." Eating bran vegetables these days really makes you suffer. ”

Dong Ce put on a tattered clothes, put on a waist knife, pulled out a stone tablet from the corner of the wall, which was three feet long and one foot wide and three inches thick, wrapped it in rags and carried it on his shoulders, and walked out of the hut with his head held high.

The wind in the summer morning in the north is very cool, but it is extremely comfortable to blow on the body, walking under this bright sky, Dong Ce feels bright and dignified in his heart, extremely relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart has been moved, and the whole person has become light and comfortable.

This is the benefit of killing Sun Ruhu.

Dong Ce must kill Sun Ruhu! If you want to talk about the root reason, it is not simply for revenge, but to know that only by killing him can you come out; If you don't kill him, Sun Ruhu relies on his power, and his arrogance presses him to the death, so he won't be able to get ahead in his life.

And after being suppressed like this for a long time, Dong Ce didn't even know if he would leave any mental illness.

is like Liu Ji, who has bullied Xiang Yu for so many years, even if he is the emperor, he is always upset, thinking that someone is going to kill him. In the words of modern medicine, this is persecution obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Now it's refreshed and thoughtful.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and the lamp oil was also very expensive, just to go to bed to make a villain, go to bed early, and get up very early in general, this time is just less than six o'clock in the morning, and the whole Shilipu has come to life, and many people have gotten up and gone out of the city to work with hoes.

At the end of the Ming season, the poor people were poor, and the poor people never ate breakfast, and only ate two meals a day.

Many people who saw Dong Ce instinctively wanted to call him a leper and make fun of him.

Dong Ce strode over, he was already a tiger's back, tall and better than ordinary people, although the skin he was wearing was rotten, but his waist was straight, his eyes were cold, and he had a waist knife hanging from his waist.

Seeing him like this, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts, and their hearts were cold, and they couldn't say anything to make fun of them, and secretly said in their hearts, how could this leper dog be born today as if he had changed a person, and it didn't look easy to mess with.

Out of the north gate of the city, as far as the eye can see, there are patches of neat cultivated land.

The river valley where Shilipu is located is northwest-southeast, and a river flows through it in the middle, which belongs to the alluvial plain, so the soil layer is rich and fertile, and there is the moisture of this river, so the water and soil conditions are very good.

Zhu Yuanzhang started by relying on tuntian, the army reclaimed land, fought while farming, and raised a million army without costing the people a grain of grain. Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was the implementation of the guard system, a guard of 5,000 households with a total of 5,600 people, military households and family members live in one place, generations of soldiers, distribute the fields, pay food.

The same is true in the nine borders, where the border troops stationed in the tun are all moved over one by one, and forty or fifty acres of fields are also allocated, as well as cattle and seeds, so that the border troops can cultivate and raise their eyes and concentrate on watching. These border troops in Shilipu are all hereditary military households, and their ancestors lived here, and they originally also had land. Although military households need to pay two buckets per mu for land rent, which is twice as heavy as the rent of ordinary households, they can still live a good life at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that this kind of system is corrupted quickly, and by the time of Emperor Zhengde, the military household system has almost been eroded, and the land of the local guard has been encroached upon by the officers, and the local military households have become tenants of the officers, and they can't even eat, and their wives and daughters have to go to be secret prostitutes to survive, and their lives are not as good as those tenant farmers of large families. Moreover, with the restrictions of the military household system, as long as they are in the military, they cannot participate in the imperial examination and other promotion paths, which is equivalent to fixing the military households there for life and life, and they cannot be liberated for hundreds of years, and their lives are extremely miserable and miserable.

Over the years, most of the defenders' fields have been almost occupied by officers at all levels in Zhenqiangbao and Shilipu, and they have privately become tenants of various officers.

Fortunately, this is also a treasure land, the land is fertile, and the output is more, but it will not be reduced to the point of wives and daughters being prostitutes.

Speaking of which, Dong Ce's family was also a member of the exploiting class at the beginning, and his ancestors had always been the title of the general banner, and in his father's generation, he served as a ten-mile paving team officer with the rank of general banner for more than ten years, and embezzled more than 100 acres of land, plus more than 100 acres of land handed down by his ancestors, which is more than 200 acres. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in order to change the behavior of officials and generals in various places to encroach on the military households, the Ming Dynasty gave each military general a certain amount of incorruptible land according to the size of the official position, and Dong Ce's family also divided it into 50 acres, which totaled more than 270 acres of land, except for a very small part of the hometown of Lingyidu, about 230 acres are in the ten miles of shop.

These many fields are second to none in the entire Shilipu, but unfortunately they were all embezzled by Sun Ruhu, not only that, but also drove the original Dong Ce to work day and night, and he was tired to death when he was busy with farming, and he was really wasted to the extreme. Now that Dong Ce thinks about it, he also hates it.

How can there be such cowardly and incompetent people in this world?

Sun Ruhu, that is, the land of the Dong family, is not far from the river, and it is the best watered land, and the output can be more than 30% of other families. Walking on the field path, Dong Ce strode towards his own land, and the people working in the farmland raised their heads one after another and looked at him with curious eyes.

When I came to my own field, it was originally a busy time for farming, and there were more than a dozen tenants from the original Dong family and now the Sun family working all the year round, but yesterday Sun Ruhu came out of that file, and now they don't know what will happen, so none of them have come today, and they are empty.

Dong Ce walked to the side, and there was a stone tablet erected there, with words engraved on it, to the effect that this was the land property of the family of the team officer Sun and the like.

This is the so-called field boundary, and the inscription on the monument represents that this land is Sun Ruhu's real estate.

Dong Ce sneered, squatted slightly, grabbed both sides of the stele, and with a strong force, he actually pulled the stele from the ground alive and threw it aside.

The people who were working in the fields all gathered around, and one of them scolded: "Leper dog, what are you doing? Is it crooked? ”

Dong Ce ignored him, and buried the stone tablet he brought with soil under the ****.

This stele is the boundary stone of his family, and it is clearly written on it, and it is the property of the Dong family.
