Under a big willow tree on the bank of the Bian River north of the village, Bei Erlang touched his butt, sat down with a grin, and said to Qin Sanlang, who was tearing chicken feathers on the other side: "San brother, you are so careful, when will you get it? If you want me to say, just use mud and bake it to eat."

Qin Sanlang didn't raise his head: "It's rare to eat chicken once, why are you so careless? Just sit there and I'll clean up."

Bei Erlang shook his head, leaned gently on the willow tree, and looked at the boat in the river in a daze.

That day, he was beaten by Ma Meng, and the chicken was not eaten. Bei Erlang rested at home for two or three days. The more he thought about it, the more he became more angry. Why was he not allowed to eat a chicken he earned with his ability? He was beaten in vain. After getting well, he found Qin Sanlang who had a good friend with him. On this day, he seized the opportunity and stole a chicken from Ma Meng's house. The two of them went to the bank of the Bian River to enjoy it.

After a while of silence, Bei Erlang sighed: "Third brother, why do you think we are still a farmer at Ma Meng's house? His family does not farm, and now they do not work. Without business, we have no work. How can we live? Seeing that other families in the village do not rely on Ma Meng, but everyone has work at home, making money, and their lives are better than before. We are controlled by Ma Meng's house, and we are not allowed to go out to work, so we can't make money. It's rare to eat two meals a day. My parents said that after suffering these days, I'm not old enough."

Qin Sanlang said: "The people in the village are not customers of the Ma family. Ma Meng is in trouble and many benefits are given to them, so they will naturally be free."

Bei Erlang said angrily: "We are also idle. Can't we go out to work like other people? I hate that guy Ma Meng actually said that the money he earns from working is all his. When he goes out to work, he is exhausted, but he makes money for others. How can this be the reason in the world!"

Qin Sanlang said lightly: "What's the solution? When Gengma Meng was a wealthy and powerful local official, he signed a literary contract with his family. Now it's too late to regret it. That guy is a yaman, but who knows how many tricks there are in the literary contract."

When he chose to be a farmer at Ma Meng's house, many people were greedy for him, and they could lose a lot of benefits when doing things, but their commissions were not high. Now that the route has been cut off, there are no extra benefits. With the commissions set by Wenqi, everyone has a difficult life. Not to mention that some people have paid a few years of commission advancement, and they have already spent it. It depends on Ma Meng's face when they have eaten their jobs.

Ma Meng's shopkeeper was his former thug. Most of the people chose idle people, and they knew all kinds of bad habits. They only knew how to eat, drink, and gamble. Few people understood the serious life. Now they are living a life of nothing, and every family is not going well. They are like Qin Sanlang. When he heard Bei Erlang say that he would steal chickens together, he followed him without saying a word. He asked him to work hard at the wharf, but he still didn't do it.

Pull out the chicken feathers and grass, and then set up a fire by the willow tree, and the chickens were set up and roasted.

Bei Erlang went forward to the fire and said to Qin Sanlang: "Third brother, this life is getting harder and harder. Ma Meng is still thinking about making a comeback every day, how can he do it? He was broken by the magistrate in the county a few days ago, so the state should not say anything. The Du Tui Guan, who came, clearly told the people in the village to look at Ma Meng and catch him from time to time. Even the officials who were as good as brothers in the prefectures and counties were interested in alienating him. I think, as long as this guy shows his legs, the government will definitely punish him to death."

Qin Sanlang looked at the sizzling chicken on the fire and said carelessly: "That's natural. In the past, many officials didn't want to cause trouble, so it would be fine if they restrained Ma Meng. When Tan Erniang made such a fuss, the officials were blind and the public was talking about it. Why wouldn't they have to start a maneuver with Ma Meng? Several murder cases made the officials in prefectures and counties care about day and night, and those who are the officials who are not open their eyes and dare to interact with him."

Bei Erlang thought for a while, then suddenly blinked and said to Qin Sanlang: "Third Brother, do you think there will be any reward for Ma Meng's evil evidence to be sent to the government now? If the government puts forward such a big battle, it will never be reluctant to give it to several cents of money."

Qin Sanlang smiled slightly: "What's your idea for you little devil?"

Bei Erlang smiled and hit Qin Sanlang with his shoulder: "The third brother understands! People die for money, who can bear drinking porridge every day—"

Qin Sanlang didn't say anything and reached out to flip through the chicken.

Bei Erlang said, "It's all people living in the Ma family. Who doesn't know the marinated things Ma Meng does! I heard that the medicinal materials from Tan Erniang's family were clearly swallowed by Ma Meng. I was just asking his family to pay some money. I didn't expect that Ma Meng would take over Erniang's body, and I was afraid that the Tao family would make trouble after paying back the money. I was greedy for Erniang's appearance, so I let Lu Yuhou kill someone and leave with the money. Hehe, it's a pity that Tao Shiqi from the Tao family actually had a habit. After waiting for a few years, he stabbed Lu Yuhou to death in the street and caused a lot of trouble."

Qin Sanlang smiled: "You are a half-year-old child, but you just heard from me, and know a lot. I am much older than you and have seen more things. Tan Erniang's affairs are nothing at all. Over the years, many people have ruined their lives at Ma Meng's hands. If these things are to be brought up, not only Ma Meng, but also many people will be involved in Yongcheng County, and even Bozhou City. You said that Ma Meng is now in decline, why no one sued him? I really dare not offend so many people. Hey, Ma Meng is nothing, and no one in the yamen dares to provoke people!"

Bei Erlang's eyes lit up: "One time and another time, no one dared to provoke him before, but now it's the same! Tan Erniang hangs her sank in front of the yamen, and the officials in Manchuria are dull. They hate Ma Meng so much. The people who collude with Ma Meng in the prefectures and counties are nothing more than some public people. As long as the officials are determined to do it, they will handle these people together! Oh, if this matter is done, what a great contribution!"

Qin Sanlang just focused on roasting chicken and did not accept Bei Erlang's words.

The more Bei Erlang thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he saw a pile of rewards piled up in front of him. He was excited for a moment, which caused the injury on his butt, grinning in pain, and even more hatred in his heart.

I couldn't help it, Bei Erlang pushed Qin Sanlang: "San brother, you should tell me what's difficult about this. Don't say that you think about the master of Ma Meng, and you will not roast chicken with me if you have that intention. Seeing the opportunity to get rich, Ma Meng was arrested by the yamen. We hired him to be void. How many benefits are there!"

Qin Sanlang said slowly: "There is only one difficulty in this matter. Who can guarantee that he will not be involved. Ma Meng does these things alone? I tell you, none of us farmers can escape! Erlang, you are the ones in your family, father and mother. Not to mention anything else, Tan Erniang was taken in the village by Ma Meng, and she honestly followed Ma Meng's mother. Others can sue Ma Meng, but how can we farmers? First, they sue the master, and then the master's family makes trouble, how can the slaves stay out of the matter?"

After hearing this, Bei Erlang was stunned for a moment, but he forgot this section. Why did Ma Meng raise these farmers at home? Could it be that they could eat and drink for free? Of course, they were helping him with their work. These farmers participated in many of the affairs Ma Meng had done before.

If it weren't for this, no one would have reported himself if he was sure. At this time, Ma Meng would not dare to be so domineering. In the past, these shopkeepers were Ma Meng's accomplices, almost all of them were accomplices, and they were grasshoppers on the same rope as him.
