Patriarch Zhang was not that easy to fool. He picked up his crutch and hit Zhao Lizheng on the body. He cursed angrily: "You have lived so long that you are in a dog's belly! The county magistrate asked you to do this to guard the mountain town."
Is it a mess? Is it because the town has a bad reputation? Your face looks very bright?"
Zhao Lizheng couldn't avoid it and received a heavy blow on his shoulder. The pain made him jump back and he had to force a smile: "I didn't say anything. Did you misunderstand something?"
"Bah! Get out of here!" Patriarch Zhang spat in his face. "A dog can't spit out ivory. I think you are greedy for profit! Believe it or not, I will join a few other village elders and go to the county seat to find the county."
Is it possible for me to show my love and remove all your lies?"
Zhao Lizheng had thick phlegm on his brow, he was embarrassed and disgusted, and the anger in his heart was rising. He gritted his teeth and said: "No need to bother you, old man. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"
Patriarch Zhang was leaning on a cane and looking at him coldly: "It's not me you offended, it's Mu!"
When the clan members surnamed Zhang saw the clan leader coming, they all shrank back and did not dare to say a word.
The Mu clan members gathered together at some unknown time, holding hoes and sickles in their hands, glaring fiercely at Zhao Lizheng, with the intention of rushing him up if they disagreed with him.
Mu Qiusheng said with a cold face: "I heard that there was an armed fight in Qiujiaji thirty miles away. The county magistrates each took fifty blows, cleared up the Qiujiaji, and asked for the crime."
This means that in order to protect his reputation, he did not hesitate to summon the Mu clan to fight with Zhao Lizheng's family.
The current county magistrate's temper is that if you don't cause trouble for me, everyone will be safe. If you cause trouble for me and make me uncomfortable, I will definitely kill you.
Zhao Lizheng felt a sharp pain in his teeth. Damn it, who will tell him why it was originally a big drama to encircle and suppress Mu Yunhan, but in an instant it turned into the Mu family and the Zhang family joining forces to deal with him?
Looking at Mu Yunhan again, she stood aside coldly, looking at him expressionlessly, her eyes so cold that it was so cold.
This damn girl must have promised some benefits to the Zhang family and the Mu family again!
It looked like another big pit, but he jumped into it with a smile, which was a joke in vain.
If he gives in this time, his integrity will be regarded as losing his prestige. Who will listen to him?
We must win this round, we cannot admit defeat!
Zhao Lizheng laughed sinisterly: "Han girl, you are really very knowledgeable. You bribed the heads of the two families without saying a word. What did you just say? I appropriated the embroidery skills that your orphans and widowed mothers rely on for a living.
?”
His tone was full of threats, trying to hint to Mu Yunhan that if she didn't give in, he would tell her about using her embroidery skills to bribe him and plot against Mu and his wife.
Mu Yunhan raised the corners of his lips with a faint smile and said slowly and calmly: "What Uncle Li Zheng said about bribery or not, I, a little girl who has only gone as far as the county seat, really don't understand. Both patriarchs are highly virtuous and have an upright mind.
How can people be bribed by petty profit?
Besides, I'm so broke, what can I bring out? As for the embroidery skills, Uncle Li Zheng gave us the house and land, and it's clearly stated in the deed, so I don't dare to talk nonsense."
She paused and said meaningfully: "Normally, it is only Uncle Duo Laili and his family who take care of us, so that we, the orphans and the widows, can be where we are today."
Everyone knows how much this shabby house and four acres of land are worth, and how much their embroidery skills are worth.
Everyone knows whether the Zhao Lizheng family is taking care of Mu Yunhan and his daughter, or bullying others. (To be continued)
