Xue Laosan has a good mind after all. After carefully considering Li Er's words, looking at Tang Sanya's pretty face, and recalling the words on the banner that the villagers held when they gathered at the village health center last night, they immediately knew that most of it was possible.
It was because I thought wrongly, that I preconceivedly believed what Su Quan and others said, and mistook falsehood for truth.
Thinking about it again, Director Xu was so frightened that night that he fainted due to the commotion outside. As the saying goes, don't do anything wrong and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, so I believed it a little bit more in my heart.
When Xue Xiang asked in detail what happened that day, he already concluded that Director Xu was talking nonsense.
It turned out that yesterday morning, Director Xu passed by Qimiao Slope and happened to meet Tang Sanya weeding in the field. He suddenly saw Tang Sanya's pretty appearance, so he became lustful and sneaked closer. Unable to seduce her, he resorted to force.
The man who missed Tang Sanya, Li Er, was also in the field at that time, but he hid in the thatch at the other end for convenience.
This time, Director Xu was able to steal the chicken but lose the rice, and was severely punished by Li Er.
It is a trivial matter that Director Xu received a beating. If such a scandal were to spread, he, Xu, would probably continue to be an official, but he would not be able to live in Moshan Township.
Fortunately, he was also a sensible person, and he immediately came up with an excuse based on his duties.
It turns out that Li Er's family has indeed given birth to two girls, and Li Er has warned that his son will not give up.
When Director Xu returned home, he lied and said that he had heard that Tang Sanya was pregnant with the third child and that he came to do some work. Li Er, who was crazy about his child, beat him hard.
The words made up by Director Xu are consistent with the cause of the matter and the wild folk customs of Guaizili Village. Naturally, no one doubts whether it is true or false.
Unexpectedly, although Tang Sanya was not insulted, Li Er couldn't swallow this breath. Originally, none of the villages around Yunjin Lake were afraid of the government. Only the government was always afraid of them. Someone named Xu dared to beat Tang Sanya in broad daylight.
His idea was to stir up trouble on Tai Sui's head.
So, as soon as Li Er said his reason, without even shouting, all the villagers gathered together, had a pig-killing feast, and then came in large numbers, and this was the scene last night.
Xue Xiang didn't expect such twists and turns. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Originally, both Director Xu and Li Er had different opinions. From his subjective judgment, although he believed Li Er's words, he really took it to court. This is a case where the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right.
What a waste.
He is here to deal with trouble, not to cause trouble.
What's more, Tang Sanya didn't suffer any harm. Although Li Er felt angry, Xu Wei was beaten into a pig's head, which was considered a severe punishment.
The matter was covered up.
There was no other way, Xue Laosan, who was the leader of the stubborn masters of the Four Nine Cities, could naturally be proud of the world and be happy with his grudges.
But Xue Laosan, as an official in charge of the administration, must weigh the priorities, big and small, and cover the lid when it is time to cover it, especially now that Dejiang is in a troubled time. It would rather be suppressed than set off a bigger incident.
of turmoil.
After making the decision to cover the lid, Xue Laosan immediately took out his wallet, clicked out ten big unity cards, slapped them into Li Er's hand, and told Li Er that this was his personal consolation money, and asked Li Er to buy supplements for Tang Sanya to calm his shock.
The reason why Xue Laosan did not pretend that it was the government that sent it was because he was afraid that these people would think it was causing trouble again and the government would indeed start sending benefits again. At any rate, Xue Laosan still had the prestige he had gathered last night, which was enough to guarantee that this group of people would
People don't think wrongly.
Then, Xue Laosan simply stated his concerns to everyone. He said that if there was a quarrel, it would be nothing more than insisting on one's own opinions and ruining the reputation of the Li family. If Li Er could trust him, he would be willing to give him some advice.
At the time, he, Xue, kept it for Li Er to explain.
Speaking of which, Xue Laosan has been through Shantun and Xiaoshan, and has accumulated experience in dealing with this kind of unrest in the countryside. There are only two tricks, one is to be cruel to you and I will be more cruel; the other is to treat others with sincerity.
Because most of the villagers are not highly educated, and those who dare to gather to fight against the government are mostly bold and lawless people. If the government fights with them and shows weakness, the arrogance of these people will easily rise to the sky.
It will be extremely difficult to convince him next time, and the arrogance of the villages around Yunjin Lake is proof of this.
Therefore, since gentleness is not possible, the only option is to use ruthlessness to deal with ruthlessness.
As for the raid last night in Guaizi Li Village and Tangjiazhuang, it went beyond the scope of bravery and ruthlessness. It was almost a mass rebellion. At this level, it is no longer possible to suppress ruthlessness with ruthlessness. The only way to stop ruthlessness is to kill. This is the old saying.
, The soft one is afraid of the hard one, the hard one is afraid of the horizontal one, and the horizontal one is afraid of death.
Xue Laosan held two pistols in his hands and fired bullets all over the place. He just didn't want his life. More importantly, he didn't want the lives of the villagers. However, no matter how rarely they used them, they still cherished their lives.
.
In this way, when one is "not willing to risk his life" and the other is serious about his life, in a confrontation between the two parties, it is naturally Xue Laosan who is "not willing to risk his life" and has the upper hand.
Fighting ruthlessness with ruthlessness, you being ruthless and me being ruthless, became Xue Laosan's only way to deal with the villagers.
Of course, in addition to violent tactics, Xue Laosan also has a gentle approach, which is to treat others with sincerity.
Although the name of the village is fierce and brave, with peasant-like cunning, most of them are simple people and they are all loyal. This is the fundamental reason why Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms can have the most extensive influence in the countryside.
Xue Xiang Lao San first subdued his arrogance, and then treated him with sincerity, hitting and pulling, but there was nothing that could not be done. Song Jiang relied on this hand to conquer countless reckless people in the past, let alone the Tang Dynasty and Li Er.
.
Just like now, Xue Laosan showed up with the hundred yuan and said something sincere about being responsible to the end, which immediately moved Li Er so much that he shouted to his guest Tang Sanya to prepare a banquet.
Xue Laosan originally wanted to decline politely. After all, how can a small courtyard of a poor family withstand the hardships, but he also knew that the poorer the family was, the more they wanted to save face and show their backbone. For fear of offending people's hearts, he had no choice but to agree.
.
Fortunately, Jiang and Dai had followed him for a long time and knew his temperament. They immediately rushed out and bought back chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients, thus solving Tang Sanya's urgent need.
………………
But he said that at this moment, the Tang man was holding a wine glass and wanted to toast Xue Xiang, but Xue Laosan sat still and waved his hand, not holding the glass at all.
Brother Tang's fat face, as swollen as a pig's head, was angry, but there was no expression on it, and his eyes were so gloomy that they were almost dripping with water. "Master Xue looks down on me and refuses to give me face?"
Li Er stood up hurriedly, trying to smooth things over, fearing that this stupid and cheap uncle might bump into Officer Xue.
If it were another official, he Li Er would not say a word and just follow the big man Tang in and out of water and fire, but this official Xue has really exceeded the limit of what he can challenge, and he doesn't want to
Watching Mr. Tang looking for excitement, and bringing everyone down with him.
Unexpectedly, before Li Er could say anything, Xue Xiang spoke first: "Big Tang people say that we Shu people are heroic, and the men by Yunjin Lake are even braver and heroic. But when we meet today, it seems a bit unworthy of our reputation."
As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, a circle of villagers who were looking at the chicken, duck and fish on the table stopped their chopsticks and lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
It turns out that these guys all thought that Xue Xiang was making fun of the embarrassing situation last night when everyone was lying on the ground and holding their heads. Everyone was burning in their hearts.
If it were anyone else, these guys would have overturned the table, but the double-gun demon king in front of them really makes it hard for people to muster the courage to fight.
Tang Tang's face was swollen and bloodshot, and his eyes were red. He was thinking about whether to fight with Xue Xiang, when the clinker Xue Laosan said the second half of his sentence again: "Tang Tang, this wine cup you brought,
It’s used to feed babies with milk. If a tall and dignified man toasts with this thing, wouldn’t it make people laugh!”
No one expected that Xue Xiang actually said those words because he disliked the wine cup being too small. In an instant, everyone's worries disappeared, and what followed was a surge of pride and dissatisfaction rising from their hearts.
Rising up, almost bursting out of my mouth.
I don’t know how many people are thinking, if you play hard, I can’t play with you, but if we really want to talk about drinking, I have to drink you down, how dare you call a battle.
With a clang, Tang Tang put the wine cup on the long table and said bitterly: "Sir Xue is right, but we really are not men enough. Brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you hear what Senior Xue said?
, change to a bigger bowl!”
Li Er hurriedly ordered several nearby women to fetch large bowls. As he spoke, his eyes were flying and his tone was slightly hesitant, as if he had some hidden worries.
There was no need for Xue Laosan to be considerate this time. The middle-aged man with a long lapel next to Tang Tang shouted in a deep voice: "Shunzi, go to our house and take out a jar of bamboo leaves and green leaves from under the osmanthus tree.
Mr. Xue also has a taste of the true taste of Li Village, our kidnapper!"
This middle-aged man is Mr. Li Da, Li Er's cousin. He is the most educated person in Guaizi Li Village. During the New Year and festivals, the couplets and the characters "Fu" written by him from all over the country are all written by this man. Who knows?
Most of the weddings and funerals were held by him as Mr. Zhike. His facial features were clear and his mind was extremely delicate. He immediately noticed Li Er's embarrassment and offered to help.
The short-haired boy leaning against the fence gate responded and ran out the door. Immediately, someone came back and said hello that he also had some fine wine and brought it out to Xue Xueguan to try, and then he also ran away.
After a while, three or five men rushed out of the house, each carrying a wine jar stained with wet mud, carrying a brand-new wine bottle, or picking up a large glass wine jar, and returned to the courtyard.
Without saying a word, Tang, a big man, snatched the wine jar from the hand of the short-haired boy, patted open the mud seal, poured a full bowl into the black earthen bowl that Xue Xiangxin had put on, and said with emotion, "Sir Xue, this is the time.
You are manly enough. To tell you the truth, this is the Bamboo Leaf Green brewed by Mr. Li Da himself. It is very powerful. Hey, this time, I want to see if you, Senior Officer Xue, are manly enough!"
The big man Tang has been struggling with what Xue Laosan just said when he scolded him for not being a man enough. In fact, he likes men the most in his life and prides himself on being a first-class man. Suddenly he was despised by Xue Laosan, and he felt angry.
, how can it be dissipated in a short time. (To be continued..)
