Chapter 17 Rank = Wo + Loss
"The Hu family, the largest household in Anlu County, has long been lent to others for usury. The military households can't afford to pay back the debts, so the Hu family sued the government and eventually had to pay off the debts with land. The Hu family's family's wealth is rich. The head of the family Hu Shoucai is a powerful character. He has a close relationship with the county magistrate Lei. He used to have a lot of contact with Mr. Qin. Hu Shoucai was fierce and domineering. He also raised a group of thugs, and there were probably about a hundred people. Even the Anlu County government dared not provoke him. Young master, if you want to get the land back from the Hu family, it is absolutely impossible. Even if you buy it with silver, people will not sell it to you!" Yang Baihu introduced the situation of the Hu family.
Qin Yiming didn't know much about these things and asked, "How many acres of land does the Hu family have belong to the garrison?"
"It's estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 acres, I'm not very clear about this!" Yang Baihu was not very sure either.
Qin Yiming nodded and asked again: "Where is the Xu family?"
Yang Baihu continued: "When it comes to the Xu family, they have a lot of connections with the young master!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Yiming became even more confused.
"Our sanitary office often needs to buy grain, and the Xu family sells grain for business. After a while, Mr. Qin became familiar with the head of the Xu family. Back then, Mr. Qin had a good relationship with the head of the Xu family. The Xu family also relied on Mr. Qin to be rampant in Anlu County. Therefore, Mr. Xu and Mr. Qin agreed to be betrothed to you, Xu Zhen'er. However, the master of the Xu family passed away a few years ago. Now the head of the Xu family is Xu Zhen'er, your wife who has not passed away. She also has a younger brother who has not grown up." Yang Baihu said.
Qin Yiming suddenly realized that the tomboy dressed as a man came. Her jade pendant was still here, and she happened to borrow it and return it to her to discuss it. Perhaps because of the fate of the two, she could return the land mu.
"That's the case, then my fiancé wants it, she should be able to give it to me!"
Qin Yiming is quite confident here, but Yang Baihu is not very optimistic. Now that Mr. Qin is gone, it is hard to say what the Xu family is thinking, and maybe they will turn their backs on others.
In the military residential area, several soldiers were causing trouble.
"Xu Chuyi, when will your family pay back the money they owe me?" Several soldiers like ruffians went to the military Xu family to shout.
Old man Xu was happily holding the cow he had just bought. Now that spring is coming, he is about to start preparing to plow. His son has received ten taels of silver from Thousand Households. He is a farmer. Of course, the first priority is to buy a cow and come back. Only with the plowing ox can the good dealer be planted!
"Oh, Old Man Xu, have you bought oxen? You live a good life. You don't have the money to pay off your debts, but you have the money to buy oxen. Did you deliberately not want my money?" A soldier asked staring at the ox.
Old Man Xu had wrinkles on his face, and he smiled silly, saying, "What's the matter? Brother Zhang, we have prepared a long time ago. So, this is a three tael of silver, I'll give it to you!" Old Man Xu took out three taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the soldier with his skinny hands.
The soldier named Zhang picked up the three taels of silver and smiled, put the money in his arms, and then continued to stretch out his hand and put it in front of Old Man Xu.
Old Man Xu didn't understand and continued to smile and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you mean?"
"There is not enough money, I should pay back ten taels now!" said Zhang.
"We borrowed three cents of silver to buy medicine in total. You said you wanted three cents last month, but why did you want ten cents this month? It's too much to deceive people!" Xu Chuyi came over angrily and was like beating someone, but was stopped by Old Man Xu.
"Haha, I know you are strong, but we are servants of Ma Qianhu. What's wrong? Do you dare to do it? Try it? Bah!" The soldier spat on Xu Chuyi's face disdainfully. As soon as Xu Chuyi got angry, he punched it out with one punch. Suddenly, the door of Xu's house became lively. Both sides started fighting, but after all, two fists could not match four hands, and several soldiers had blades on their hands. Although they were not pulled out, they were quite powerful. Even if Xu Chuyi was strong, he could not withstand the number of people there. Old Man Xu was afraid that his son would be beaten, so he helped to persuade the fight. At first, he didn't notice it, but later he found that his cow was bleeding by someone with one knife. He immediately vomited blood and died.
The old man was so angry that Xu Chuyi cried bitterly on the spot. This miserable scene aroused the anger of other military households. They were going to come forward to help with sticks and hoes.
I was so busy that these servants were so scared that they ran away.
These military households are usually used to being bullied by Ma Qianhu's servants, but Xu Chuyi is a fool. When he saw his old father vomiting blood and dying, the cow he had just bought in his family was killed by one of them. He was angry, so he found Qin Qianhu.
When Qin Yiming heard this, he could use the matter to make use of the issue and establish prestige here. What is order? Order is power, and he is the person who stipulates order here. However, to be the person who sets order, there must be conditions. Order = the person who sets order. Order = the loss of food. He must not only give them food, but also give them force to deter them, so that they can be at peace with the rules they set. Moreover, this incident also made Qin Yiming angry. He immediately took the military households to find Ma Qianhu. Ma Qianhu saw Qin Yiming bringing a group of people over, and some people were holding sticks in their hands. The situation was so fierce that he was so scared that he was trembling.
After Qin Yi clearly explained the reason, Ma Qianhu was not good enough to secretly scream. These damn servants have caused trouble again. They are not allowed to be arrogant and domineering in their daily lives. But now such a real master is in charge and doesn’t know how to restrain himself. Now he has made the crowd angry. He dares to cover up his feelings openly. And he just kills a cow and spends two taels of silver. So he smiled and said, “Don’t be angry, as long as Lord Qin can find the person who kills the cow, I will never say anything and let Lord Qin deal with this bastard.”
"Xu Chuyi, come and identify it!" Qin Yiming ordered.
"Sir, I" Xu Chuyi said nervously.
"Don't be afraid, I have the right to decide everything for you!" Qin Yiming thought Xu Chuyi was timid, so he encouraged.
"Sir, I only know the one with the surname Zhang and her name is Zhang Ge'er. I can't recognize the others. I don't know who killed this cow!" Xu Chuyi told the truth. At that time, he was indeed beaten and kicked by several people. The scene was chaotic, and I don't know if anyone around me saw it. Even if someone probably dared not come out to identify it.
It was embarrassing now, and I couldn't find anyone. Even if I found out, there were so many people at that time, but Xu Chuyi didn't know who gave Niu a knife. Ma Qianhu laughed secretly. He wanted to see how Qin Qianhu ended. You couldn't find someone. You came here to preside over justice, a joke?!
"The people who did it today came out!" Qin Yiming looked at the servants of Ma Qianhu with a cold face. He suddenly shouted loudly, which scared Ma Qianhu who was sneering in his heart. At the same time, several people in the servants' team suddenly trembled all over, and they looked at each other for a while.
The soldiers and other soldiers finally stood up timidly.
"Who killed that cow? Brother Zhang?" Qin Yiming walked up, his words cold and majestic, with a murderous aura.
"I really don't know. I was stunned by Xu Chuyi's punch at that time!" Zhang Ge'er told the truth.
"How much money Xu Chuyi owes you?" Qin Yiming asked in a low voice.
"Three or three cents!" Zhang Ge'er dared not lend money to usury in front of Qin Yiming.
"Haha, I killed someone's plowing ox for three cents of silver and killed Old Man Xu. You are really a bad sheep. You deserve to die. I will give you one last chance and stand up for me. Otherwise, you will be dealt with by all of you in military law, and no one will survive." Qin Yiming began to intimidate, and indeed scared those people, but if Qin Yiming would kill them, they would not believe in it. They are servants of Ma Qianhu. Even if they have any death penalty, they will deal with it. Besides, it is just a matter of a cow.
Those people were motionless, and they were sure that Qin Yiming was intimidating, and no one could prove them.
"Sir, that cow may not be killed by my servant, or Xu Chuyi's false accusation! Otherwise, why wouldn't there be anyone to prove it? Everything has to be proved!" Ma Qianhu said in anger at this time.
"Yes, yes." Several servants responded to Ma Qianhu's words and felt helpless. Xu Chuyi felt helpless and could only hold his old father's body powerlessly and kneel on the ground to cry. The onlookers felt very angry, but they really didn't know who killed the cow and pissed the old man Xu to death.
"Evidence! Very good, very right. If you want to tell the evidence, you will be prepared to accept sanctions when I come up with the evidence." i Qin Yiming was cold and cruel
Looking at the servants, Ma Qianhu thought Qin Yiming was just cheating and scaring people, and said selflessly: "As long as the adults can prove that it was done by any of them, I, Ma Wenying, will never protect them. They will let the adults Qianhu deal with it."
"Very good, you guys pull out all the knives on your waist!" Qin Yiming ordered.
When killing the cattle, the knife must have blood stained. Ma Qianhu's anus tightened, and it was over. However, when he saw that there was no blood on the knife, he felt relieved.
