Husband and Father Youwei

Tu Lin looked at Li Chengxiang's distorted face, but thought of Li Xiucai's death.Because of his status as the village chief, he has been suppressing the hatred for the original body in his heart for many years, and now he can finally release it undisguisedly, and it is not easy.

Reassuringly patted the shoulder of Ruan Tang, who was worried because of Li Shi and Li Chengxiang's words, Tu Lin turned his head to look at Li Chengxiang, and said indifferently: "Mayor Li may have forgotten, I have a law in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and those who break into private houses It doesn't matter if you kill me, and these people not only broke into my house, but also hurt my wife and destroyed my property. I just wanted to save my wife and protect myself, and I didn't violate any laws. I."

"Oh, is that so?" Li Chengxiang seemed to have been prepared for a long time. At this time, he smiled sullenly and proudly, and said, "Do you have any witnesses? Who can prove what you said?" Seeing that Tu Lin stopped talking, Li Chengxiang became more and more nervous. Satisfied, he raised his chin slightly, and continued: "You don't have any witnesses to prove what you said, but I have all the people present here to testify that you suddenly hurt someone for no reason. Wait until the court, Do you think the county magistrate believes in you alone, or in so many of us?"

Tu Lin looked at the commotion of the crowd because of Li Chengxiang's words, some of them avoided their eyes when they looked over, some of them looked over with undisguised gloating, and some of them were even more sympathetic to themselves. With hatred in their eyes, this person is naturally Mrs. Li, but no matter what their expressions are, none of them stood up to express objection to Village Chief Li's words.To this, Tu Lin was not surprised at all.

Seeing that he has become the target of public criticism, and is in a situation where he is about to be imprisoned, Tu Lin does not have the slightest worry and anxiety on his face.He thought, does Li Chengxiang really think that he is the emperor and father, so what he says is what he says?But since they are going to have a big fight, then he will accompany them to make a big fight, and see who can have the last laugh.

After thinking about it, Tu Lindang said, "If that's the case, then report to the officials."

Hearing what Tu Lin said, Li Chengxiang's face changed slightly. It seemed that he didn't expect that Tu Lin didn't have the slightest fear. He couldn't help being a little unexpectedly annoyed. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a strange voice from behind the crowd. , "What's going on here, why are there so many people around?"

Tu Lin and all the people present who heard the sound followed the sound and looked back, and saw a carriage stopped behind them at some point, and four people stood in front of the carriage.In the middle is a gentle young man wearing a smoke-colored hood with dark indigo patterns, and on his left is a short and fat old man. Standing next to the old man is Tu Wenqiang, who is well known to everyone present. An ordinary-looking young man in his twenties and wearing a brown short jacket stood beside him leading a horse.

Seeing everyone looking at them, the short and fat old man frowned slightly, and said to Tu Wenqiang beside him, "Is Brother Tu's home really here?"

Tu Wenqiang nodded hastily, and said repeatedly: "That's it, it can't be wrong, how can I not know where my brother lives?" There was an obvious flattery in the words.

He had just met these people at the entrance of the village, and when he heard that they were looking for his elder brother Tu Lin, and saw that they were dressed in extraordinary manners, he thought they had some background, so he personally led them to Tu Lin's house graciously, Unexpectedly, when I went to the place, I saw many villagers surrounded by the old house.

Seeing Tu Wenqiang's confident expression, the short and fat old man didn't ask any more questions, but bowed slightly and said to the young man beside him, "Please, third master", and the young man walked into the crowd, the short man The fat old man and Tu Wenqiang on the side hurriedly followed, while the surrounding crowd involuntarily retreated to the two sides to make way for these people.

Among the few people coming through the crowd, Tu Lin's eyes were first on the young man in the middle of the head. Although he didn't know him, he already had a vague guess in his heart, and then he stepped forward with some surprise, but he looked at the man. The short and fat old man next to him said: "Housekeeper Wang, it really is you. I heard the voice sounded like you just now. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of welcoming you as a distinguished guest." As he spoke, he cupped his hands.

Steward Wang returned the salute to Tu Lin, and said with a smile, "Brother Tu, you are being polite. We came here uninvited, so please don't take offense."

"Where." Tu Lin said politely, then looked at the young man, and asked Steward Wang, "Butler Wang, who is this?"

"This is our third master. I came here today to thank you for saving my young master Qi yesterday." Steward Wang said to Tu Lin with a smile, and then introduced to the young man, the third master of the Zhou family: "Third Master, this is Brother Tu Lin and Tu, and this is Brother Tu's family, brother Ruan Tang Ruan, and his son Xiao An." When Tu Lin and Steward Wang introduced Ruan Tang, they didn't say it was him. His wife is only said to be a family member, so Steward Wang said so at the moment.

"So it's Lord Wednesday, sorry." Tu Lin hurriedly cupped his hands to Lord Wednesday.Ruan Tang also called "Lord Wednesday" and nodded at the same time.

"Brother Tu and Brother Ruan are very polite. My surname is Zhou Dan, and my name is Yan. Seeing that they are about the same age as me, they just called me by my name." With a gentle and humble smile on his face, Lord Zhou looked very approachable, and he nodded slightly. He also bowed to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, and then continued very earnestly and sincerely: "I went out to visit my friends yesterday and was not at home. After I came back, I learned about the kindness of the two of you for saving the dog from the steward Wang. , I am really grateful, but because the weather is not good at night, the leakage of liquid came to disturb me, so I came to thank you today, and please pay my respects to both of you."

With that said, Zhou Yan bowed to thank Tu Lin and Ruan Tang.It is no exaggeration to say that Tu and Ruan Tanglin were Zhou Qi's saviors for saving his son Zhou Qi. As Zhou Qi's father, he should bow to them and thank them.

Tu Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but he didn't let him do this great gift, and said at the same time: "Master Zhou Zhou really didn't have to do this, but it really frustrates me. We were the ones who surprised Young Master Ling yesterday. So this thank you is really ashamed." Ruan Tang also said Zhou Yan didn't need to do this.

Zhou Yan said: "Brother Tu is too worried. It's just that the dog is stubborn, but it has nothing to do with you, but the life-saving grace of the two dogs is real, so please be sure to accept my worship." Zhou Yan As he spoke, he ignored Tu Lin holding his hand and insisted on bending down to ask for obeisance.

Seeing Zhou Yan see this like this, Tu Lin couldn't stop him anymore, fearing that he would hurt someone with too much strength, so he had to withdraw some strength, let Zhou Yan bow down, and then hurriedly helped him up.

At this time, Steward Wang glanced at Tu An inadvertently, but he couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, brother Tu, what happened to Xiao An's face? Why is it so swollen? "As he spoke, he walked up to Tu An's side step by step, bent down to look at Tu An's little face, and said with pity and anger, "Who is this so cruel to a child so cruelly?" ? It's too much. Does it hurt?"

Although Steward Wang was asking Tu An, he knew in his heart that just by seeing Tu An's face so red and swollen, he knew that it would definitely hurt, and immediately said without waiting for Tu An's answer, "Xiao An is not afraid, Grandpa Wang will give it to you." You take the medicine, that medicine will be cured, and it won’t hurt if you smear Xiaoan on it.” After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the crowd, looking at the direction that should be to the carriage.

When Zhou Yan heard Steward Wang's words, he naturally saw Tu An's injury. After being surprised, he also showed a look of unbearable expression. He stepped forward and gently patted Tu An's head, and said kindly, "Xiao An, right? Uncle is Zhou Qi. Dad, does Xiao An still remember Zhou Qi?"

Tu An covered his red and swollen face with his little hands, and nodded his head when he heard Zhou Yan's question, saying, "I remember."

Zhou Yan smiled kindly again and said: "Zhou Qi also remembers Xiao An, but today he was sick, so he couldn't come to see Xiao An, Xiao An, don't blame him, okay?"

Originally, he and his wife brought Zhou Qi to the Tu family to thank him today, but Zhou Qi suddenly developed a rash all over his body in the middle of the night yesterday, and he could no longer see anyone, but his wife was worried and stayed at home to take care of him. I came alone.

When Tu An heard that Zhou Qi was ill, he couldn't help showing a worried look, and said, "Is Zhou Qi ill? What is it? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's not serious, you'll be fine after two days of rest." Zhou Yan hurriedly said that Zhou Qi's illness was also related to yesterday's incident. When he was lying on the beam, his body was contaminated with dust, which caused him to wake up. I have rashes all over my body, but after applying the medicine for two or three days, it will be cured.

Seeing that Zhou Qi was not seriously ill, Tu An felt relieved and said, "That's good."

Just as he was talking, Steward Wang came back with the medicine from the carriage. He handed a white porcelain bottle with a wide mouth and a wide belly to Tu Lin, and said, "This is a good medicine for wounds. Swelling and pain relief are the most effective, but Brother Tu, hurry up and apply some to Xiao An, so that the child will suffer less."

To Tu Lin, this wound medicine was no less than timely charcoal, so he didn't refuse anything, and accepted it directly, and of course he didn't forget to thank him.Just because he was afraid that his hands would hurt Tu An, Tu Lin gave the medicine to Ruan Tang and asked him to give Tu An the medicine.

While Ruan Tang was administering medicine to Tu An, Steward Wang asked Tu Lin in amazement: "Brother Tu, what happened to Xiao An's child? And these people, why are they all like this?"

Butler Wang mentioned these people, but he was referring to those who were lying on the ground crying, and suddenly, Steward Wang saw a few familiar things, and couldn't help being surprised: "Hey, those are not the thank you I sent you yesterday. Li, why are you throwing it outside? Brother Tu, what is going on?"

Tu Lin followed Steward Wang's gaze to look at the things piled up in front of the main room, and then said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Steward Wang. I definitely did not do this on purpose. When I returned home, it was already like this. Now, I still don't quite know what's going on."

"Let me tell." Ruan Tang, who was administering medicine to Tu An, suddenly said at this moment, and immediately attracted the attention of Tu Lin, Zhou Yan, Wang Steward and others to him.

At this time, the medicine on Tu An's face was almost applied. Ruan Tang took a final look carefully to make sure that there was nothing missing, so he put the cork back, stood up, and told Tu Lin, Zhou Yan and others about the situation. through all this.

It turned out that not long ago, Ruan Tang prepared breakfast and planned to go to the forest to call Tu Lin. Unexpectedly, the village chief Li Chengxiang brought a group of villagers to the old house.They came to look for Tu Lin, but when they saw that Tu Lin was not there, they questioned him directly, asking where did the things Tu Lin brought back yesterday come from.

Ruan Tang didn't like their very unreasonable attitude at first, and thought that Tu Lin had said that he would hide the charcoal, so he didn't answer truthfully, only saying that this was their own family's business and had nothing to do with them.

I don't want him to say that, the village head Li Chengxiang and Li's actually decided that those things were stolen by them, and they even asked a few men from the village to go into the house to search out all the things, and they wanted to wait for the slaughter. Lin came back to deal with him and Tu Lin.

Of course, Ruan Tang couldn't let those people with malicious intentions break into their homes, so he stepped forward to block them, but he was completely outmatched by both hands, and was soon subdued by two people, lying on the ground unable to move, watching those people like Robbers broke into their homes like robbers, ransacked their homes, and threw out all their belongings. After hearing the noise, Tu Lin came back and rescued him.

Following what Ruan Tang said, Tu Lin only felt that the anger that had been vented just now was ignited again, his fists were creaking, and he stared at the village chief Li Chengxiang with a gloomy and unkind expression.If it wasn't Li Chengxiang's intention, how dare those people break into his house and hurt Ruan Tang? They are accomplices, but Li Chengxiang is the real culprit. .
