Chapter 190: Fighting
The old village chief arrived late, leaning on a crutch and supported by Hu Dalang.
"Are you really back?"
Qin Fangci smiled and said, "Brother Village Chief, we are back. Thank you for taking care of the family these past two days."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Go back quickly, Bai Liang and Bai Tai families, remember to get a brazier for your mother to get rid of bad luck." The old village chief paused and quickly glanced at Li Yulan. "The children are all fine, you should all rest well first."
Qin Fangci held Li Yulan's hand tightly, her anger rising little by little. "Brother Village Chief, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. That man is a scholar, and we ordinary people cannot deal with him easily. I think we should take advantage of Brother Xichuan's presence and have him take him back to Lord Deng for trial. Lord Ji is here too, and Lord Sima from the prefecture is here too. With so many lords joining the trial, we can give the scholar a fair verdict, so that our fellow villagers won't think we've bullied him."
Qin Fangci stood still and straightened up. "Ask yourself, our Li family has done nothing wrong to anyone in the past two months."
"This incident happened suddenly. I understand why everyone was caught off guard and distanced themselves from our family. But let me be clear: as long as there's no one taking advantage of our misfortune, I'll still treat them as fellow villagers. Anyone who can help me out will be handsomely rewarded."
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Qin Fangci's words.
There were indeed people in Liantang Village who quietly distanced themselves from the matter, but there was really no one who took advantage of the situation to make things worse.
It may also be related to the fact that time is still short and the verdict has not yet come out.
Qin Fangci doesn't want to discuss this complex issue of human nature now.
"Brother Xichuan, Brother Village Chief, please come with me to Dongshi Village to avoid any more trouble."
Seeing that Qin Fangci was determined, the old village chief looked at Xichuan, whose aura suddenly became fierce, and finally nodded.
"Okay, let's go and show everyone that the people of Liantang Village are not to be bullied!"
"Mom, I'll go with you. I still remember what he said to my aunt. I can testify." Yuan was afraid that Qin Fangci would not take her, so she raised her hand actively.
"Mom," Li Yulan called out softly.
Qin Fangci patted her and said, "Be good. Mom will take your brothers to support you. You take Daya and the others back first and take good care of the children. Tell your sister-in-law not to worry. Kill a chicken and prepare a table full of food."
Li Yulan's eyes were filled with tears. She sniffed and said seriously, "Thank you, mother."
"Silly child." Qin Fangci rubbed Li Yulan's head.
Qiu Caifen emerged from the crowd and said, "Hey, mother-in-law, let my Ah Yi and Ah Sheng go with you. We're not afraid of a large crowd. I'll go to your house and get you a brazier. What do a bunch of kids know?"
Qiu Caifen even thoughtfully took the child off Wang's back and carried it on her own back, "Cuiyun, take good care of your mother-in-law."
She said it was okay, her daughter was just worried and looked how upset she was.
Thinking of the look of his son-in-law who was so distressed that blood was about to drip out, he smiled again. It’s good to do this, it’s good to do this, so that the young couple can live a good life in the future.
It’s great that my mother-in-law is back and I can make money with her again.
When the villagers saw this, needless to say, those who wanted to help in times of need hurriedly followed.
And those who quietly distanced themselves from the matter: If not now, when will we stick around and help?
So almost the entire army in Liantang Village, except for the elderly and children who could not walk, followed the Li family.
The sea of black heads is a spectacular sight.
In Dongshi Village, Zhang Lizheng was sitting in his yard with a frown on his face.
It’s too difficult, too difficult.
Xu Jiahuai was a scholar with a good reputation, and now he forced the scholar to stay in his home.
Yes.
What Li Zheng Zhang told others was that he wanted Xu Xiucai to stay at his house for two days.
Let everyone in the family be more polite to Xu Jiahuai.
If the Li family had not survived this ordeal, he would not have offended Xu Jiahuai so much. After all, he was still the head of the village.
It's not that we are incompatible. We are all from the same village. As long as we can save face, we can continue to live in peace.
But if the Li family can't get over this hurdle, he will be working for nothing.
The people of Dongshi Village will have a grudge against him in the future, after all, he was biased towards people from another village this time.
well……
At this moment, Zhang Lizheng's eldest grandson ran in hurriedly, and lost both of his shoes without a care in the world.
"Master! Master! Something happened! People from Liantang Village are here to fight!"
"What? What kind of fight? Who will fight?" Li Zheng Zhang frowned.
Zhang Lizheng's eldest grandson gestured, "It was a fight, very fierce. I saw a lot of people, I'm afraid everyone from Liantang Village came."
Village Chief Zhang was shocked. "What does that old bastard Hu Shikuan want to do? I locked Xu Jiahuai up, but he's still making a fuss! Doesn't he respect me, the village chief?"
"Grandpa, it doesn't look like Village Chief Hu," Zhang Lizheng's eldest grandson finally took a breath, "I think it's Boss Li who's leading the charge."
"Boss Li?" Zhang Lizheng jumped up as he realized what was happening. "The Li family is back? Bringing the people from Liantang Village to cause trouble?"
Zhang Lizheng's eldest grandson was stunned by his grandfather's sudden excited tone, "Grandpa, are you happy?"
Are you happy?
Was he seeing things?
"How are the Li family doing first?" Li Zheng Zhang gestured with his hands. "Are they alright?"
"Oh, grandson, I'll go and see it myself." Li Zheng Zhang couldn't wait to push his eldest grandson aside and walked out by himself.
He prayed silently in his heart that he was on the right side and that the Li family was safe. In recognition of his great efforts, the Li family would speak well of him in front of the county magistrate.
Zhang Lizheng, who had walked to the door, turned back and said, "No, no, I can't rush in. You go and take a look."
As soon as Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound and the sound of mixed footsteps. It sounded like there was quite a bit of commotion.
Zhang Lizheng suddenly thought of something and jumped up and said, "Quick, quick, tie up Xu Jiahuai in the room."
Xu Jiahuai, who had just woken up from a drowsy sleep in the room, said: "..."
In the blink of an eye, Qin Fangci and his group arrived.
Zhang Lizheng's yard was not small, but it was still very crowded even with all the people inside, and many people from Dongshi Village also came later.
Hu Dalang supported the old village chief, and Hu Hui controlled the number of people letting in from behind.
Put someone who is strong and smart in there, just in case there's a fight.
If you put a fierce woman in there, you won’t lose the argument.
Zhang Lizheng was sitting on a bench, seemingly clueless. Hearing the voice, he said unhappily, "Who is it? What are you making such a fuss about? What happened again? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"
When he turned around and saw Qin Fangci, Li Lao Da and Li Lao San, Zhang Lizheng was stunned for a moment before he got up from the bench smoothly.
"Oh, is this... back?"
Qin Fangci stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have worried Zhang Lizheng. We are back safely."
"The case was found to have nothing to do with us. Lord Deng thought that we were women and children and were afraid of being bullied, so he asked Xichuan to drive the carriage to send us back first."
"Oh, oh, that's really great, really great."
