Jia Ke asked people to walk around outside the village and then returned to the entrance of the village. Jia Ke said to Lin Zhixiao: "After entering the village, go directly to the village to find a wide open space and stop."
Lin Zhixiao asked Jia Ke for instructions: "There is a stage in the village with a very wide front. All matters in the village are discussed there. Why not go to that stage?"
Jia Ke said: "Then go to the stage."
Lin Zhixiao quickly led the way, leading the team into the village and stopping in front of the village stage.
Jia Ke got out of the car and asked the soldiers to rest where they were. He looked up at the stage. The stage was made of rammed earth, with brick and stone sides and square brick paving. It was a large platform surrounded by wooden railings.
There are four pillars on all sides, supporting a large square roof. It is square and open on all sides. There are stairs on both sides for people to go up and down. There is also a couplet on both sides.
The first couplet is: When Fang opens the show, people are coming from all directions, casually watching the world and being greeted, this is what it looks like when you go on stage;
The second couplet is: The gong is suddenly closed, and it disappears in an instant, and the wealth and honor in the world are suddenly taken away, and the ending is like this.
The horizontal batch is: Seal Script Zheng Qian Kun.
Jia Ke looked at this couplet and found it intriguing. The characters performed on the stage are nothing more than pure and ugly, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty and treachery, etiquette, and shame. After watching these operas, people can be deeply inspired.
You have to think carefully when doing things, learn from the role models in operas, and distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. But how many people take him seriously? But I am afraid that some people today want to know the reason why the wealth and wealth in the world ended like this.
.
After Jia Ke finished watching the stage, he went up the stairs along the stairs. Lin Zhixiao hurriedly signaled to Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang was also smart and understood immediately. He dared to bring up the stool and put it in with his sleeves. He asked Jia Ke to sit down.
Down.
Jia Ke sat down on the stool and ordered Lin Zhixiao: "Go and call me the head of the village."
Then he said to Liu Yu: "Send a few people to follow Manager Lin and seal Zhuangtou's home for me."
Liu Yu immediately sent two groups of soldiers to follow Lin Zhixiao.
Lin Zhixiao led people to a large house in the center of the village. This was Li An's house. Every time he came here before, he was very envious. There were three entrances to the house, and there was a small garden at the back. It was larger than ordinary houses.
The gentry's house was even more grand. But now this house has become Li An's ready-made sin.
Lin Zhixiao stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard someone talking at the door: "Who is it? It's so noisy in the afternoon, and I can't let anyone take a break."
Lin Zhixiao said outside: "It's me, Lin Zhixiao, who came to see your master for something."
The people inside knew Lin Zhixiao and knew that he was the manager of Rongguo Mansion. In the past, Lin Zhixiao came to collect rent. My master was very respectful to him. Now he did not dare to neglect and opened the door immediately.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Zhixiao wave his hand, and immediately some soldiers came forward and pushed the door open. Two people guarded the door firmly.
The person who opened the door was stunned on the spot. He had never seen such a formation before.
Lin Zhixiao ignored him and walked directly into the front hall. At this time, a servant had already noticed that something was wrong and went to the back to report to the master.
Lin Zhixiao came to the front hall and sat on the main seat, with soldiers lining up on both sides.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of chaotic footsteps behind me, and saw a middle-aged man walking out with two servants. This middle-aged man had a good appearance, and he was Li An.
As soon as Li An entered the front hall, he saw Lin Zhixiao sitting on the main seat. He felt unhappy for a while, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Who opened the door? It turned out to be Butler Lin. Unwelcome, unwelcome."
Please forgive me." Seeing that Lin Zhixiao did not speak to him, he sat down at the guest seat next to him.
When Lin Zhixiao saw him sitting down, he said to him: "I am here for nothing else. Someone just wants to see you."
Li An said: "I don't know who came and asked Brother Lin to come to me. He has such a big arrogance."
Lin Zhixiao glanced at him disdainfully: "I heard that there was a disaster in Wangjiatun, and my uncle was in trouble day and night. So I came to express my condolences to the victims in person. Now I am on the stage, waiting for Manager Li's reply."
Li An just heard Lin Zhixiao's unkind tone, and now he heard that the uncle was here and asked Lin Zhixiao to call him. At this time, he didn't know that something had happened, and he was afraid it would be bad.
Li An immediately stood up and went to Lin Zhixiao's side, bowed and saluted, handed over a banknote from his sleeve, and said: "Brother Lin, I'm a little behind in doing things this time, but I can't help myself. I hope Brother Lin
I would like to say a few kind words in front of the uncle. I am very grateful."
Lin Zhixiao knew that when he said he couldn't help it, he was implying that there were people behind him. After taking the money, everyone would be better off. As long as they stayed up there, everything would be fine.
Lin Zhixiao couldn't help but laugh. This Li An was so naive. He dared to threaten him at this time. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Li An saw a smile on Lin Zhixiao's face, thinking that Lin Zhixiao had agreed to help, and was overjoyed. Just as he was about to step forward to confess to Lin Zhixiao, he heard Lin Zhixiao shout: "What a polluting thing, you dare to bribe me?
You can't take it with me anymore."
As soon as Lin Zhixiao finished drinking, he saw two soldiers coming up, holding Li An down and kneeling him on the ground.
Li An struggled hard and called out. Li An's servant outside had been notified of Li An's house earlier. She was eavesdropping outside the hall and heard Li An calling for help from inside. She immediately rushed in with several servants.
Want to capture Li An.
When Lin Zhixiao saw this, he was furious and shouted: "You, a woman, dare to interfere with the important affairs of this house. It's your life." He immediately ordered his soldiers to drive these servants aside and pull Li An's family away.
Lin Zhixiao scolded Li An's family: "Ignorant woman, you dare to do this at this time. Do you really think that Aunt Lai is the head of the Jia family?"
At this time, Li An's family also knew that something was wrong, so they could only sit on the ground and cry bitterly.
After Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, he ignored her and ordered one of the team leaders to guard the mansion and not let anyone in or out. After ordering him, he took two soldiers to go to the stage to suppress Li An.
Find Jia Ke to revive.
But by this time Li An had collapsed to the ground and could not walk. Lin Zhixiao had no choice but to order two soldiers to drag Li An away.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao and the others left the house, they were discovered by the villagers.
The villagers were all talking and guessing who Li Daguan had offended. He was such a majestic person, but he was dragged away like this. He was in a state of embarrassment. Out of curiosity, they followed Lin Zhixiao and the others to the stage.
As soon as I arrived at the stage, I saw dozens of servants in front of the stage, all of them tall and powerful, standing motionless like pillars under the stage.
And there was a little young man sitting on the stage. At this moment, the young man was sitting on the stage with a gloomy face, which made people scared just looking at him.
Lin Zhixiao ordered people to push Li An off the stage and went up to the stage to report to Jia Ke.
Two soldiers pushed Li An down the stage and forced him to kneel down. Li An knew that the person above him was the second master's eldest son, so he did not dare to resist and knelt down obediently. Taking a peek at Jia Ke's face on the stage,
When you see Jia Ke's gloomy face, you know something is wrong. This is about to expose the matter.
Originally, he didn't want to do it this year, but his uncle said that Jia Ke was young and ignorant, and he grew up in a wealthy family, so he didn't know the sufferings of the world. If they did it this time, they would have the same income as the previous five or six years. If it takes a few years,
When Jia Ke grows up, it will be hard to fool him. If he wants to get rich, it depends on these few years. He followed Lai Da's arrangement, which made sense. It went well at first. Not only did the government waive this year's rent,
He also put in grain and silver. He sold the grain and the rent collected this year, plus the government's disaster relief money, there were three thousand taels, and he divided nearly one thousand taels. He thought that nothing would happen, but unexpectedly
Jia Ke came with his people. This situation is not good.
