What a cheating husband

Liang Zizhuang and his wife sent their daughter and son-in-law away lonely, and turned back to the yard.

Chen Qing and Brother Yang heard the words outside the courtyard clearly.They looked at each other silently, and they both put out their thoughts of exercising and went home separately.

After Liang Zijun listened, he pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid that the second uncle will not have this granddaughter."

"It can't be so serious, right?" Chen Qing clicked her tongue, the young couple is ignorant, so it's okay to change it next time?Is it worth breaking off with your granddaughter?

"You don't understand! The second uncle is the most distinguished person between good and evil. When Liang Zixin went out, he took her husband's house to buy food, and it was also in time for the disaster year. Didn't he borrow it for money, and he almost didn't let the second uncle It's so strange. It's strange that sister Zixin doesn't know what's going on. Her mother-in-law's family squeezed into our house to eat and drink. She even heard her mother-in-law call all relatives to come and eat, so she didn't let the second uncle beat them out with a stick. !” Liang Zijun shook his head and said.

In fact, there is a follow-up to this matter. After the big family was kicked out, they were unwilling to reconcile. It was spread everywhere that the Liang family had food but refused to lend it to the in-laws, which caused the nearby tenants to complain about the Liang family. So they partnered up to steal at night.

There wasn't much food stocked that year, and they had already borrowed a lot, and there was only a family's rations left in the warehouse. It was impossible to drive those people out, but after recruiting thieves, the situation calmed down.

Fortunately, the disaster was not serious that year. Although the price of grain shops in the county was high, it was not impossible to buy it. The lack of grain in the granary made the tenants lose their minds, otherwise something big would happen.

At this point, Liang Baida drove his in-laws out as well, saying that he never had such a daughter who cared about everything else.If it weren't for Liang Zixin's begging, and her husband's family coming to apologize in person, this matter would not have been so easy.It was only in recent years that the second uncle was willing to show Liang Zixin a good face.

Chen Qing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, because there was no food in the warehouse, otherwise the victims would have to be robbed of food.I heard from Zijun that the disaster was not serious that year, and there was still grain to sell in the grain shop, so there was almost no disaster, but this year...

The husband and wife looked at each other, and got up one after another to discuss with their uncle, fearing that this year would not be a good one...

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw a whole family gathering spontaneously in the main hall.Liang Bosong explained the whole story with a sullen face, and said to his elder brother, "Let's make preparations early. There are two baby babies in the family, so I dare not have anything to do."

Liang Baida nodded in a low voice, and told Chen Qing and Brother Yang to move to the county seat to take refuge in the near future, even if there is a bodyguard guarding the hospital, it may not be enough if there are too many victims.I heard that many refugees came from the north recently, which strengthened the mind of the parents to avoid disaster.

Chen Qing shook her head and said, "I won't leave, let the nanny take Yuanyuan to live in my small courtyard temporarily, so as not to draw attention to Zijun's other courtyard."

Liang Baida nodded, and walked several times at once, which would definitely make people suspicious, so it would be safer to retreat in batches.Besides, someone had to keep the yard guarded, otherwise it would be taken over by victims of the disaster, and it would probably be a disaster.

The head of the family asked Brother Yang to take the dolls to live in Chen Qing's old house, so that he could take care of Yuanyuan nearby.

Liang Ziping was eager to love his daughter, and suggested that Duo Duo should go to the county seat as soon as possible to take refuge. Shao Fengzhi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "No, the girl should know more about the seriousness."

Liang Duoduo feels that the admonitions my aunt said, compared with the wrong things done by Mengjie, are a little bit stronger and I am ready to stay.

Liang Bosong nodded sullenly, "Mengmeng is a lesson. If a girl doesn't know how to take care of her husband's family, she won't have to come back after she gets married!"

Liang Bosong's words were a bit serious, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lowered their heads slightly in shame. Not only did they fail to educate the girls well, but they themselves never really planned for their mother's family.Although I have never gone to my natal family to fight the autumn wind, it is because the natal family is not powerful enough, so it would be good if I didn't post it, so why should they take advantage of it?

There was Liang Zixin in the front, and Liang Meng in the back. If Liang Duoduo was not warned, those who caused trouble for the Liang family would become married daughters.

The nanny was able to take her baby to the county to eat and live, so she was very grateful.There is not much food in the family, if she is not still breastfeeding Yuanyuan, how can she save a morsel for the family?Now, not only has the food been saved, but it is of course great to take refuge with the baby, if not for the good food at Liang's house, she would have returned to breastfeeding like those women in the village.

Brother Yang and the others went out early in the morning in the carriage escorted by the bodyguard, and took away some valuable things from the house by the way.

The next night, the Liang family mansion was visited by thieves.

The bodyguard guarding the house for others is most taboo to capture a living person, and also taboo to kill a thief.Therefore, for the bodyguard, the best way is to scare the snitch away.

But as a bodyguard, he must go to the room to fight.During the battle, two stones would fly out first, making the roof tiles vibrate.One is to show the snitches, and the other is to let the watchers know that we have already handed over.

If he is a habit of stealing, he will leave something specially for the bodyguard so that the bodyguard can go on business.Don't make the mistake of thinking that these two groups are collaborating inside and outside.The highest purpose of the bodyguard is to drive away the burglar, not to catch it.

However, when the burglar comes, if there is any movement in the room, or the sound of sliding the door and picking the lock, the escort will not scare him away directly after finding out, but wait for the burglar to finish the scene, pry the door open, or Speaking of removing the tiles on the roof, it was already obvious what was done on the spot, and the bodyguards would take action.

This thief has a voice, in fact, according to their jargon, they call it a see-off, which means to let go quickly.After the thief left, the scene was left behind, so I, the bodyguard who sat all night, did meritorious service and didn't lose anything, which means that I am useful in your house.

Therefore, according to the usual practice, the bodyguard who stayed at Liang's house waited for the burglar to pry open the lock of the warehouse door before releasing the two locust stones.

The thief was obviously not used to stealing, he didn't expect that there were bodyguards sitting in the farm house, so he fled in a hurry.He just steals some food to satisfy his hunger, so how dare he confront the bodyguard master?

The Liang family didn't have a watchman, and Li San went home to guard his wife and children, so the only ones who were shocked by the sound of the tiles were the men of the Liang family.After learning that they were just ordinary thieves, Liang Baida waved away the crowd.

Liang Zijun and his clothes fell on the couch, and said to his daughter-in-law, "I am afraid that the disaster victims from the north will arrive, and it is estimated that martial law will be imposed in the next county."

After listening to his analysis, Chen Qing felt that it was the disaster victims. The tenants knew that Liang's family had hired bodyguards to guard the house, so they dared not come to steal food in the middle of the night.

On the second day, I really heard that the warehouses of two families in the village had been stolen.There was already a shortage of food, and being robbed at this time is really a hopeless way of life. After the people in the village who were not robbed learned about it, they panicked and hid food everywhere, fearing that the rations for survival would be snatched by the victims.

The village head asked with a shy old face if he could borrow a bodyguard to patrol at night. Liang Baida agreed after thinking about it.

Two people were selected from the ten bodyguards, and each of the black and white squads led a team, leading a team composed of villagers to patrol the periphery of the village.

Liangjia Village is the closest to the county seat, and it is also the village most likely to be visited by disaster victims.The gates of the county are strictly checked, and people who are not from the county are not allowed to enter the city.

Within two days, the flood victims who went south from the north blocked the gates of the city. They crossed two counties and arrived at the third county seat, but they were still unable to enter. The victims who had run out of food had to dig some grass roots in the wild to satisfy their hunger. Those who have money will ask people to help smuggle some food, and those who have no money can only lie at the gate of the city and howl.

Hezhi County saw more and more victims gathering, if they didn't drive them away, they would be besieged by later victims.At this time, how can I talk about the benevolence of women? The people under my rule are all suffering, so how can I have extra sympathy to give to the victims of the disaster?They were driven away from the two counties they passed by, and Qingping County, which was not in a better situation than those two counties, was naturally unable to accept the victims.

As a last resort, Hezhi County had no choice but to use all the county government's manpower, together with the local ruffians in the county, to drive out of the city with sticks. If they insisted on not leaving, they would be beaten with sticks. Just execute it directly.

With such a brutal expulsion, the already hungry and sick victims had no choice but to continue heading south with their tattered clothes.Passing through the village, the victims who could not bear the hunger finally rioted collectively under the impetus of hopelessness, robbing and killing people, as long as they could have something to eat, they would do anything.

All villages spontaneously formed teams to resist the victims, but in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the strength of the whole village may not be able to withstand thousands of victims.

Fortunately, Liangjia Village was not far from the county government, and it was in the opposite direction of the southward journey. Otherwise, there would be so many people, even if they hired No. [-] bodyguards, they would not be able to protect Liangjia Village.

But even so, even the little brothers were gathered by the village chief to guard them with sticks, and the men even patrolled through the night in full armor.

Liang Zizhuang's three brothers each led a bodyguard to repel two groups of victims one after another. If the bodyguard beside him was not so decisive, he would have shot through the leading victims with one arrow.

People are so hungry that they can do anything, first begging, then selling children, and then going to villages to loot, as long as they can survive, they can do anything like eating raw animals.

Chen Qing saw that the victims entered the farm house and brought out a chicken, and they tore at the hen before plucking the feathers.A live chicken was bitten to death, and before he could eat a few bites, it was snatched away by the people around him. The faces of the villagers who saw that scene changed drastically. If they continued to starve, these hungry ghosts would dare to eat it. ...

The victims who came one after another began looting before arriving in Qingping County. They were the last batch of people who had endured so much hardship before leaving their homes.Those with money had already left to join their relatives or go to the south to seek life. Only the people at the bottom stayed at home and waited for the court to rescue them.But it has been a long time since the imperial court distributed relief food, and the hopeless crowd fought back desperately before starving to death.

There were as many as a dozen villages looted along the way, and victims from all directions gathered into a force, violently rushing to the villagers' homes to grab food and money, and even dared to rape women and children.But even the victims of the disaster will not tolerate this kind of people, and they will be killed on the spot as soon as they are found.

The ransacked village was full of wailing. They had already been robbed of food, and the men in the family were injured and disabled. How could they have money to see a doctor and buy medicine?The family's money has long been exchanged for food, and now other than starving to death, they can only rob along with the victims.

He Zhixian wandered around the government office all day in a miserable manner, and every time he received a village being robbed, he would smash the gavel in anger.However, due to the limited manpower, after receiving the news, the government officers were sent to expel them. The victims had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the devastated villagers.

Mr. Liang came forward at the right time and urged the big households in the county to send servants to assist the county magistrate in managing the victims.Most of these big households have a few thugs, and they also hire bodyguards to protect their homes. The private army formed in this way is more than twice as large as the government servants.

For the first time, the three forces, the tolerance, the local hooligans, and the private army of the big family, worked together to drive out the victims within the county seat in turn, and it worked quickly in a short period of time.

Liang Zijun distributed fireworks to the villages and asked them to build beacon towers. The villages watched and helped each other, helping each other and waiting for the officials to rescue them.

With three groups of people taking turns to drive them away, although there were situations where help was not enough, the situation did not get worse after all. He Zhixian praised it repeatedly, and personally thanked the big family who sent their help.

At this time, if it is still a mess and only trying to protect itself, then after the refugees pass, the robbed villages will also become besieged by the victims one after another.It doesn't matter how you kill people in other counties. If the people under your rule don't appease them, even if they pass through the disaster year, they won't be able to work until they leave office.

The county magistrate used extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and the county magistrate no longer cared about personal relationships at this time. He declared that the major grain stores would open warehouses to help the villages.

These words are only official rhetoric, as long as the major grain shops come up with some emergency measures, the common people will only praise him as the master of Qingtian when they know the actions of the county magistrate, how can they know whether the grain shops are really as full as they say? hand in.

Moreover, the food handed over is not collected in vain, and he will ask the court to compensate him at the market price in the spring of next year.

After the refugee wave is over, a few sporadic waves of disaster victims will not be able to accomplish anything, and the villages will be able to fight back on their own as long as they are careful and vigilant.After counting as many as 18 villages affected by the disaster, Hezhi County was in a circle of worry in the government office.

The food collected from the major grain stores can only last for a month at most, and even if the four to five thousand people can only cook mush every day, they will not be able to survive the winter. If the imperial court does not distribute relief food, I am afraid that thousands of people will really starve to death.

Even in the villages that were not looted, the food in the family was not enough to last until the beginning of spring, let alone those villages that were looted.

Liang Zijun traveled between the villages for several days, and when he returned home he was exhausted and fell asleep. When he woke up, Chen Qingcai asked about the disaster situation in each village.

"Actually, it's not that serious. At most, there are heavy casualties of livestock. Only a few people are robbed of food. Which family will put the food on the surface and wait for someone to rob it? You underestimate the wisdom of those mud-legged people, the reason why you cry poor It's also to get more relief rations." Liang Zijun shook his head amusedly.

Those tenants in his family are all ghosts. After so many years of dealing with each other, it is not difficult to find clues as to which one was really robbed and which one was faked.

Unfortunately, when the tenant who was robbed saw him, he cried and howled and begged the owner for help. Those who dragged their sons and daughters knelt down and begged the owner to borrow food. If it wasn't for the fact that the child was too young to cover up, he might have been deceived by those families. up.

Chen Qing couldn't help but smile after listening, these honest peasants are not as simple as they seem~

After the refugee wave, Qingping County has rarely seen a few days of peace, and every family is still waiting for the court to rescue them with less clothing and less food.

But peace is only maintained on the surface. Recently, bandits have been rampant, and thieves often patronize people in the county. Hezhi County immediately issued a curfew order, and people are not allowed to walk around after the deadline. Yamen servants patrol the streets all night long.
