The Big Landlord

Tang Shi swallowed the steamed bun in his hand, and walked up to several people, "I'm Tang Shi, what can I do for you?"

The catcher gave him a condescending look, obviously showing disgust, "You are Tang Shi? Then come with us to the yamen." As he spoke, someone stepped forward to tie Tang Shi's arm.

Li Shao, who was squatting on one side, slowly stood up from the ground.

"What are you doing? Let go of the stone! Who are you?" Hearing the movement in the house, Mrs. Liu ran out quickly and grabbed Tang Shi to prevent him from being taken away.

The bearded man signaled with his eyes to the other policemen to break Liu Shi apart, but Liu Shi refused to let go, no matter how hard they tried, they would still pull Tang Shi hard.

"Mother!" Gao Shi and Fang Shi also ran out, and when they saw this scene, they immediately trembled with fear.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Quick! Go to the field and call the boss and the others back!" Mrs. Liu shouted at the two of them.

"It's useless to call anyone!" The bearded man said contemptuously, "How dare you disobey the order of the county lord? He beat Mr. Xiucai, which is a serious crime! Take him away!"

They pulled the crying Mrs. Liu away and threw her to the ground. Mrs. Liu didn't want to, but she was still a woman, how could she be against the five big and three rough arresters?

"Aniang, it's okay. I'll just go with them and I'll be back in a while. Don't cry." Seeing Liu's crying on the ground, Tang Shi couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Hearing this, the policemen all looked at Tang shi with foolish eyes. Are you okay?This heart is really big!

The bearded man motioned for a few people to escort Tang Shi, and Tang Shi stepped forward, "I'll go by myself, you just lead the way." He strutted out of the yard alone, as if he was the one giving orders.

The news of the policemen coming from the village spread to every family as quickly as possible, and the idle men, women, and children all gathered in front of Tang's house to watch the excitement.

When Tang shi walked out, he was followed by the policeman, and everyone understood that this was a big deal for Tang shi!

"Tang Shi! If you hit dozens of big boards, your ass will bloom!" Tang A Niu in the crowd shouted with a smile and clapped his hands.

Tang shi didn't even look at him, but made another note in his heart.

"Uncle! Uncle!" Tang Song squeezed to the front of the crowd, still wearing the coarse cloth jacket and trousers that Tang Shi personally gave him this morning. There were still patches on them, maybe they weren't even patches, they were all Made of broken fabrics.

Seeing Tang Shi being taken away by the officials, the child burst into tears, his little nose was red all over, and he looked very pitiful.

He was still thinking about running over to rescue Tang Shi, but he was desperately held back by Tang Feng who rushed over.

"I'm going to save my uncle!" Tang Song pushed Tang Feng hard, and Tang Feng growled: "What's the use of you going? We might as well go to Li Shao, let's go, let's go to him!" Tang Shi Wiping away the teardrops, he followed Tang Feng while sobbing.

When Tang Shi passed in front of Zhao's house, Zhao Jin happened to open the courtyard door, and a rough-looking man was saying goodbye to him.Tang Shi looked over, and Zhao Jin just happened to look over, his eyes seemed flat, but Tang Shi could see the deep anger in his eyes, but Zhao Jin immediately hid it, looked at the official next to Tang Shi, and in a timely manner Showing a look of horror.

Tang Shi gave a "tsk" in his heart. This kind of person is like a dragon diving in an abyss. Once he is given a chance, he will definitely break through the shackles, fly to the sky, and overlook all living beings.

And Tang shi just wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life, Zhao Jin, it's better to stay far away.

However, looking at the current situation, anyone in the old Tang family can step on them. Tang Shi is not afraid of these cats and dogs, but he is extremely afraid of trouble.Therefore, even if he wants to live such a leisurely life, it may be very rare.

Everyone wanted to watch the excitement, and some people in the village even wanted to take a day off and go to the county town with Tang Shi to see how things were going.

At this time, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Fang called back the three men of the Tang family who were working in the field, and before they could react, Mrs. Liu immediately locked the door and gave an order to the whole family, "Let's go! Let's go find Li Yuan, the one who deserves to be hacked into pieces!" After saying that, he took the whole family to Lijia Village.

Li Shao followed behind them all alone.

At this moment, the group of spectators suddenly exploded, causing Zhao Jin, who was about to close the door, to go out of the yard again and look up.

"Brother," Zhao Xu heard the movement and came out, "What happened?"

Zhao Jin didn't answer her, because he saw an incredible scene, and Zhao Xu also opened his mouth in surprise and unreservedly.

I saw a hundred-year-old tree at the entrance of the village. The moment Tang Shi stepped out of the village, the leaves that were originally lush and green like a canopy completely withered in an instant, and the withered and yellow leaves fell to the ground one after another, spreading on the ground. layer.

You know, this is a hundred-year-old tree in the village, and it is still the spring when everything grows. Now that such a terrifying thing happened, how could the people in the village not be overwhelmed?

"This is the god's anger!" A very superstitious person suddenly roared.

Everyone knelt down, and some unexplained children were pulled down by their own adults.

"My stone was wronged! My lords, you can't take the stone away!" Mrs. Liu yelled at the right time.

When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense!Otherwise, why did this old tree wither at this time?People in ancient times were more or less superstitious, and they would rather believe something than nothing.

"Yes, this stone cannot be taken away!"

They all gathered around and surrounded several officials and Tang shi, to see if the officials were not allowed to take Tang shi away in this posture.

The bearded people showed their knives directly, they didn't care about this group of fools, isn't it because the old tree is dead?What's all the fuss about?If the business of the adults is delayed, they will not be able to afford to walk around.

Looking at the shining white knife, the villagers backed away a few times in fear, and the bearded man took the opportunity to lead Tang Shi out of the encirclement.Several other officials followed closely behind.

Tang Shi didn't think that this trick could scare the officials. His main purpose was to deter the villagers. There are many people who make trouble in the world. He wanted to use their superstitious psychology to plant a warning in their hearts.

As for Li Yuan, he has other ways to deal with it. He didn't beat him enough last time. This time, he must make Li Yuan detour when he sees him in the future.

Tang Shi left, the Tang family all left the village, and the old tree at the entrance of the village also withered. Looking at the old tree, the head of Tangjia Village sighed repeatedly.

Zhao Jin looked at the old tree from a distance, and suddenly asked Zhao Xu: "Ah Xu, do you still remember the fortune teller who was kicked out by our father?"

Zhao Xu nodded, "I remember, thinking about it now, his words were not wrong, it's just that Dad didn't believe it at that time."

Zhao Jin turned around and went back to the yard. After Zhao Xu also came in, he closed the door, "Then do you remember, what did he say besides calculating that the family will encounter a catastrophe?"

"He also said..." Zhao Xu suddenly widened his eyes, "Brother, you mean..."

"That's right," Zhao Jin nodded, "If Tang Shi can save the day this time, it means that the fortune-teller's words are indeed trustworthy, then we may be able to use Tang Shi."

Zhao Xu suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Jin sat down on the stone bench and poured a cup of tea gracefully, "Why? Do you think I'm unreasonable?"

Zhao Xu looked at him seriously, "Brother, I know it's not easy for you now, but Tang Shi is just a country boy after all, he doesn't understand anything, let's not drag him into trouble, shall we?"

Zhao Jin took a sip and smiled, "You seem to have changed your opinion of him recently."

Zhao Xu turned his head, "Not at all! However, I still feel that he is very relieved to beat that scholar. It's just a scholar, and he can't hold up such arrogance."

Zhao Jin put down the cup, and the cup fell on the stone table, making a crisp sound, "Yes, he is only a scholar, but he can easily decide a person's fate. Do you think he should be proud? I'm going to the county seat , are you going to buy some fabric to sew clothes?"

Zhao Xu immediately showed a big smile, "If you want to see the situation, just say so, why use me as an excuse?"
