In fact, the land in this area of Sanhuaili originally belonged to the Lu family, and most of the villagers in the dozen or so villages in Sanhuaili were originally tenant farmers of the Lu family.
However, except for the few hundred acres of farmland near Sanhuaili Village where the Lu family's old house is located, which still belongs to the Lu family, the rest have long since changed hands.
Even in Sanhuaili Village, there are only Lu family fields cultivated by more than ten tenant farmers, and the rest of the land belongs to wealthy households in the city.
Now, Lu Ming is in the field. In mid-December, the climate in Wu'an is the right time to plant potatoes. They will grow in winter and mature next spring.
Lu Ming was wearing cloth clothes and trousers with bare feet. He worked for a while and then sat on the ridge to rest, otherwise he would just make trouble for others.
Lu Zhong and a middle-aged man were also sitting on the ridge. The middle-aged man's surname was also Lu, and his name was Lu Lili, but his surname was changed many generations ago by his ancestors. His ancestors were serfs of the Lu family and were later given freedom. Now, he is also the same.
The Lu family's farmland is rented.
Lu Lili was talking about the lawsuit that caused a sensation in the city, "Of course I have heard about this lawsuit, but what does it have to do with outsiders and outsiders filing lawsuits with us? I wonder when we can also rely on lawsuits
Are you going to bring a lawsuit to punish those evildoers? Isn’t that right? At the yamen gate, if you have a reason, don’t go in if you don’t have money! Fourth Young Master, do you think this is the reason?”
"Dali, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zhong was helpless.
Mr. Zhang is a subordinate of the third young master, and now he is the son-in-law of Marshal Han. He is also the leader of one of the two parties involved in the lawsuit in the city.
But Miss Han found her and said that Mr. Zhang was in a bad mood and she wanted to take them to the countryside to relax.
I don’t know why, but it seems that Mr. Zhang really treats me very differently, and I feel inexplicably kind to him. Sometimes I feel as if the third young master is back.
Maybe it's because I miss the third young master too much. Mr. Zhang is the third young master's most trusted person.
Moreover, before Mr. Zhang moved into the mansion before his wedding, the third young master even called me and asked him to change his name to Mr. Zhang as "fourth young master". This also shows the close relationship between Mr. Zhang and the third young master.
Mr. Zhang was slandered and murdered the leader of the other party's legal team. He was in a bad mood. He came to the countryside to relax, but even with all his strength, he failed to open any pot.
Lu Ming smiled at Lu Lili: "Dali, you are right. In fact, no matter how the legal system changes, it is impossible to achieve equality for everyone. Can you hire a lawyer like me, and can you only apply for a legal aid lawyer?
Is it equivalent? We are still fighting a lawsuit, and when we encounter a big villain, the lawyer has been killed, so where can we reason?"
Lu Lili didn't understand, but he nodded in agreement.
"But, in a society where laws and regulations are sound and lawsuits are particularly convenient, administrative agencies, companies and individuals will still have scruples in doing things. You also want to litigate with the evil person you said, don't you?"
Lu Ming asked with a smile.
Lu Lili nodded vigorously, "Yes, Fourth Young Master, everyone in the village named Zheng rents land from Master Gao..."
"Dali, don't say you have these things or not!" Lu Zhong frowned at the side.
Lu Lili didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Lu Zhong: "Are tenants like Brother Dali who rent our land being bullied? Doesn't Commissioner Liu Depei from the county often visit our house?"
Lu Zhong said hurriedly: "That's not true, it's some disputes from the past. Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, I will handle it."
Lu Lili grinned: "Yes, it's better now. The fourth young master is the biological brother of our third young master, and he is still the uncle of Marshal Han..."
Lu Ming frowned: "The Lu family's family tradition is not about bullying, but Uncle Zhong, if you look for the current landowners of the land that our Lu family used to own, I will buy it back, and I will definitely not let them suffer.
"
He didn't pay attention when he spoke, and used words like "our Lu family", but Lu Zhong felt that the "fourth young master" did not treat him as an outsider, so he couldn't help but look happy, "Okay, I will contact them later."
There was some excitement on his face, and he didn't know what he was muttering, but he was saying that with God's blessing, our Lu family could finally see the moonlight after the clouds cleared.
In traditional rural thinking, land is naturally the most important thing. If nothing else, if the Lu family's land can be recovered, then it will be a good time for the Lu family to truly return to its past.
…
Naturally, the Lu family's old house cannot be compared with the ancestral house in the county, but it is still very grand in the countryside, with stone lions on the steps and a courtyard surrounded by tall blue brick walls.
Han Anni and Xue Zihan were both dressed as rural girls in floral clothes, with their hands and feet covered in mud. They were also doing farm work in the vegetable garden, but perhaps playing was a more appropriate description.
Moreover, how can a country girl be so fair and beautiful?
A beautiful urban girl and a country girl dressed as a childish school belle. Their blue and white floral blouses and trousers hug their slender figures, giving them a unique charm.
"It's good to come down here and relax!" Lu Ming smiled at Han Anni who came up to him, "Actually, I'm not that fragile. I still don't understand what you want to tell me? What I was going to do was to give these methods
Will it bring changes in other places? Originally, I wanted to continue to pretend to be depressed to gain sympathy, but I felt that I was sorry for you! Okay, we will stay here for one night and return to the county tomorrow. It will take a few days before we can show the evidence.
?I just wanted to see who it was that murdered Richard and ruined my reputation! Well, it should be said that he ruined the reputation of the entire Montenegrin Confederacy!" After saying this, his voice was a little cold.
"As long as you have figured it out!" Han Anni breathed a sigh of relief and added: "It would be more terrifying if the gods got into trouble!" As she said this, she pursed her lips and smiled.
…
The moon and stars are sparse.
The gas lamp was dim, and Lu Ming was looking at the information in the Wu family garden, from Master Wu to the slaves.
Richard's legal team lived in Wu's Garden, and when he and I had tea, they also came from Wu's Garden.
Moreover, Mr. Wu's family moved to Wu'an just after he left Wu'an, and Mr. Wu deliberately made friends with Uncle Zhong. It cannot be said that there must be something wrong with Mr. Wu. He also behaves as a charitable person and loves to make friends.
But now, the first person to check is definitely the man in the Wu Family Garden.
After Richard's legal team moved into Wu's Garden, the origins of the newly added servants and Western chefs were also focused on.
However, the information we are looking at now all comes from the police, and it is all registered information.
Before Richard's accident, Granny Tuolong had visited the Wu family garden several times at night, but she didn't sense the presence of similar people.
It's not really your own territory, it's really a constraint.
If the Secrecy Bureau were there, the people in Wu Family Garden would have been investigated for eight generations long ago.
If there is no clear investigation, there will naturally be doubts.
Richard's matter will not just disappear without a trace, but will soon brew into an uproar.
It will cause a series of impacts that the entire Montenegrin Confederation will soon have to face.
Lu Ming was just thinking about it when the door rang softly and two graceful figures came in. It was Han Anni and Xue Zihan. They were both dressed like farm girls in floral clothes. They seemed to be addicted to wearing them. They were indeed more comfortable than wearing uniforms.
"Are you really okay? Did you enter the room after dinner?" Han Anni's eyes were still a little worried.
Lu Ming smiled: "It's okay, let's take care of business!" Then he said, "Are you two bored too? There is no electricity here. We are used to watching TV and listening to records, but now we can't adapt to the rural life in these poor places.
Yes, oh, actually I should have brought a radio, I forgot!"
