"Yes, I came here specially after being introduced by people in our village! I heard that the wine from your Zhangjia Winery is very fragrant and refreshing!" Li Zheng also said to him with a smile.
Hearing Li Zheng say this, the middle-aged man became even more enthusiastic: "Haha, everyone says that my wine is fragrant and refreshing! Come on, brother, come in with me, and I will show you this wine vat in my house!
"
"Is this your granddaughter? The little girl looks quite smart, doesn't she?" He looked at Zhu Qing beside him and saw that she was constantly looking at the environment around the winery. His heart moved and he couldn't help but ask.
Li Zheng nodded to him: "Well, this girl is the grand-nephew daughter of my clan. She is indeed very smart! Have you heard about the recent scarred tiger of the Wu family that was caught? This girl is responsible for it.
Woolen cloth!"
There was an element of showing off in his words, thinking that when the other party heard the news, he would look at Zhu Qing even more highly.
Who knew that the man actually looked calm after hearing the news. After a while, he asked excitedly as if he had woken up: "Brother, what did you just say? The scarred tiger of the Wu family couldn't just say that
That third son of the Wu family, right? He, he was actually arrested?"
Li Zheng nodded: "Yes!"
Then he wondered: "Why, you don't even know about this?"
The man looked excited and almost went crazy and rushed to the middle of the yard: "Father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, Qin Niang, you all come out quickly! The Wu family, the third son of the Wu family, was arrested by the government.
Yes! God has opened his eyes! God has opened his eyes!"
Following his loud cheers, several people soon rushed out of the house, all with faces of excitement and disbelief. The last lame old man walked out of a room on the east side of the yard, almost holding on to the wall.
Moved out.
When everyone saw him, they gathered around him and said, "Daddy, daddy, why are you out here too!"
The lame old man stared at the middle-aged man and asked loudly: "Zhong'er, what you just said is true? Did I hear you correctly?"
The middle-aged man pointed his finger straightly: "What this old man said, he just said that Scared Tiger has been brought to justice, and the county magistrate has sentenced him to death!"
The lame old man had a look of surprise on his face: "Brother, are you lying? The Wu family is not an ordinary family! Their family is a local snake in our area! For so many years, no county magistrate has touched me.
Get over him!"
Li Zhengzheng said solemnly: "I am Li Zhengsun Haoying from Cuizhu Village! Some time ago, the county master sent troops to pick up people from the Wu family. The Wu family resisted arrest and killed an official. This scarred tiger escaped. The first thing he did was
He came to our village to look for people, but we scared him away. Then he went to the county seat, burned down the Wen family, kidnapped the third wife of the Zhou family, broke into the Zhou family's courtyard, and killed several people! Later he was still arrested in our village.
We are in uniform! Today, the county's commendation was sent to our village! Why, you don't know anything about such a big thing?"
When the lame old man heard this, he let out a long sigh. The expression on his face was mixed with joy and sorrow, and finally he shed tears with a mixture of joy and sorrow.
While he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, he bowed deeply and saluted Li Zheng: "Brother, thank you to the villagers in your village for eradicating harm to the people! You caught the scoundrel Scared Tiger! Our Zhang family,
It was precisely because I suffered so much that I moved to Huangni Village to make wine!"
Seeing him salute, Li Zheng quickly evaded: "I can't do it, I can't do it! This matter is not the result of the little old man alone! The first thing you want to thank is Mr. Guan, the newly transferred magistrate of Guan County in our county.
!If it weren’t for his wisdom and decisiveness, the Wu family would never have surrendered so quickly!"
The lame old man nodded: "Yes, this is really Mr. Qingtian! Hey, if the previous gentlemen could be like this Mr. Guan, why would my Zhang family be like this!"
He invited Li Zheng and Zhu Qing: "You two, please sit in the room. No matter what, you have to taste my wine today! The execution of the Wu family is really great news for our Zhang family!"
Then he told the men and women in the yard: "Hurry up, go and prepare the wine for those who prepare the wine, prepare the dishes for those who prepare the dishes, and prepare a table for me!"
For a while, everyone in the courtyard slowly dispersed.
Zhuqing followed Li Zheng into the old man's main room. At this time, an old lady dressed in ordinary clothes but with an elegant appearance also came over.
Her eyes were still red: "Old man, the Wu family has really been captured? Poor my Hong'er, what a good child, they ruined her, and they didn't even find her whole body! Damn it, the Wu family was finally caught.
Get up!"
The lame old man nodded and gently comforted his wife: "Old lady, don't be sad! Those fierce and domineering bastards of the Wu family have become ghosts now! They can no longer do evil in the future! Hong'er is here
Underground, they will also be happy when they know this news!"
The old lady nodded: "Yes, I think so. I just heard the news and felt sad for our Hong'er's injustice. Now that our enemies have been punished, we can live a more relaxed life for the rest of our lives."
Then she also helped the old man greet Zhuqing and Li Zheng.
During the chatter between the old couple, Zhuqing heard the sad past events of their past.
Back then, this family winery also had a place in Pingan Town. Because the wine he brewed was fragrant and strong, it was also quite popular among people.
So the business was very good. However, there was an unexpected situation. Because of the sign of giving birth, the youngest daughter of the Zhang family was spotted by the fifth child of the Wu family who came to buy wine in a wine shop, and they teased her with words on the spot.
Naturally, the Zhang family would not tolerate someone bullying their daughter in their own shop, so they started to fight with him.
One of the legs of the old man from the Zhang family was injured and broken during that fight.
The Wu family was outnumbered, but they insisted that the Zhang family beat them first. Not only did they maim old Zhang, but they also took away the Zhang family's youngest daughter.
When the Zhang family saw their little girl again, she had become a cold corpse.
The Zhang family sued the county government for this, but they didn't expect that the Wu family had already taken care of it at the county government. As a result, the previous county magistrates either pretended to be deaf and mute and refused to answer, or they favored the Wu family.
The Wu family also had people coming to harass their business from time to time. The business of Zhangjia Liquor House finally plummeted.
In the end, he was squeezed out by his business rival Gaojia Liquor House and had to escape to this Huangni Village, which was similar to a backwater village.
Still relying on the ancestral wine-making skills to earn a living.
And because their family is from outside, they were bullied by the people in the village when they first moved here.
