Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

Mother Qian and mother-in-law were making noise in the room. In the yard, Qiao Jifa raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect you to live a happy life here."

Qiao Jiwei kept squatting down, not answering Qiao Jifa's words, and kept cooking the dye.To be honest, he was really afraid of these two people in his heart. Qian Dayong was not around for a while, and Qiao Jiwei would not be able to fight against these two people alone.

Qiao Jifa paced back and forth beside Qiao Jiwei, "You have made a lot of money, but as for us, life at home has become more and more difficult since our father passed away. You don't come back to see us, you really have no conscience."

Qiao Jiwei added a spoonful of lye to the pot at home, "Didn't you sell me back then? Now let me see you again, why are you so embarrassing?"

Qiao Jizhou knew he was wrong, "We were indeed wrong at the beginning."

Qiao Jiwei sneered, "Hmph, if you really apologize, get out of my house."

Qiao Jifa was so angry at these words, he bent down to Qiao Jiwei, and spit at the stars, "You are just like you were when you were a child, you are so fussy. Back then when my father passed away, I spent a lot of money, and the family couldn't make ends meet, so I sold you for you. Okay? If we hadn't sold you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be making as much money here."

"For my own good," Qiao Jiwei sneered, "Success, you're right. According to what you said, it's for your own good that I don't visit you, and it can also reduce the cost of the house."

Qiao Jifa continued what he said just now, "If it's really for our own good, follow us home. You see, no matter what the family does to you, it is still a family after all. Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant again, it may take another Lost dozens of taels of silver. Didn’t my father say before he was alive that the three of us should be of one mind. Now that we are struggling to survive, you must help us, right?”

The corner of Qiao Jiwei's mouth curled up, and he looked at Qiao Jifa with no warmth in his eyes, "Help you? It's really embarrassing. Why should I give you money for nothing?"

Qiao Jifa's eyes turned red with anger, and he yelled at Qiao Jiwei, "Since I'm your big brother, you bastard, don't tell me you don't listen to Father's words?"

Qiao Jiwei's face remained calm, "Since the bastards have spoken out, it seems that I am not your family. You say we are brothers, but the ancients valued brotherhood, and I don't ask you to treat me well. Give me the inheritance my father left me first."

Hearing this, Qiao Jifa's face changed, "I didn't expect you to be so greedy for money."

Qiao Jiwei nodded, "That's right, I'm so greedy for money, since you can't give me money, you have to save face and get out of my place."

"Now you have to go, or you have to go." Speaking of me, he grabbed Qiao Jiwei's arm and forcibly pulled him up. "Jizhou, come and help."

"What are you going to do?" There was already a hint of fear in Qiao Jiwei's words.

The two stood on both sides of Qiao Jiwei, each holding a shoulder and pulling him out.Qiao Jiwei struggled desperately, but his fists were no match for four hands, and he was finally coerced by these two people.The people in the room rushed out when they heard the movement.

Fei Cui hurriedly rushed in front of the three of them, "Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, what are you doing, let go of your hands quickly."

"Diao Nu, go away." Qiao Jifa thought that Fei Cui was too meddling, and kicked her away.

Qiao Jiwei was dragged by them in the village, and kept trying to break free from the confinement of the two, so the three of them walked very slowly.With a smug smile on the face of the aunt, she glanced at Qian's mother provocatively, although both sides of her face were swollen from the beating.When the villagers saw the two men from outside robbing people openly, they rushed to tell each other, and some men even ran from house to house.

Seeing his reluctance, Qiao Jizhou turned to comfort him and said: "Ji Wei, your eldest brother is too unreasonable. My second brother has been considerate to you all these years. Just listen to my advice and come back with us." Bar."

For some reason, the original owner's childhood memories flooded Qiao Jiwei's mind, and his heart ached.

"Shut up," Qiao Jiwei reprimanded, "you were so hypocritical when you were young. Qiao Jifa bullied me, and you told me to respect my brother behind the scenes. I think you are like him, but he is obviously disgusted with me. And you, people are disgusting."

Qiao Jizhou was blushing, but Qiao Jifa was triumphant, "You are smart if you realize this. Don't worry, if you listen to us, we will definitely treat you like a brother in the future."

When we reached the entrance of the village, the men in the village had already blocked the roadside with their hands and heads, and it was really impossible.

Qiao Jifa still couldn't see the situation clearly, and shouted at the people on the side of the road: "Get out of here." It seems that he is used to bossing around, and he doesn't pay attention to the lower class people at all on weekdays.

As soon as he finished speaking, several men rushed out from the crowd and wanted to throw him on him.Wang Wu was even more supportive, "These two people came to our village to act wildly, and they deserve to be killed."

Only then did Qiao Jifa show a look of worry on his face.

At this time, the patriarch came out from the crowd and advised the two brothers: "You two, this Qiao Jiwei is from our village after all. You say he is your younger brother, but you can't just leave him to take him away. Both of you Ah, let's meet in the yamen." Afterwards, he looked around at the villagers, "If it's hard, don't blame the lack of eyes, if they get angry, I can't control it, and it is possible to beat you to death."

After listening to the patriarch's words, Qiao Jifa and Qiao Jizhou's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but let go of Qiao Jiwei's arm.

In the end, the three members of the Qian family and the four members of the Qiao family entered the county government office together with some strong men from the village. The patriarch arranged for some strong men, which showed that he was also inclined towards Qiao Jiwei in his heart.After all, he has never been familiar with the people of Qiao's house, and now seeing Qiao's house messing around in the village, he must also reject them in his heart.

A strong man beat drums at the gate of the yamen to express his grievances.

"Who is in the hall?" The county magistrate took a look down the hall after saying this, seeing Qiao Jiwei again, panicked in his heart, thinking that he would have to make something wrong again today.

When the county magistrate yelled these words, he was extremely majestic, and everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Only Qiao Jiwei stood, bowed his hands to the county magistrate to show respect, and explained the reason for the case, "My lord, I was originally a foreigner, and I was sold here by my brother who was born in the first place. Now that I am prosperous, they want me again." Take it away, my lord, what kind of reason do you think this is."

The county magistrate stroked his beard, looked at the other party, and his tone suddenly became threatening, "Is what he said true? If you dare to lie, be careful of the board."

Qiao Jifa was so frightened that his body went limp, and he spoke tremblingly, "No, my lord is talking nonsense."

A strong man in the village stood up, "My lord, Ji Wei's words are indeed true. The whole village can testify."

In fact, the county magistrate does not need to prove the truth of the matter. These days, the tax revenue in the county is increasing day by day, and it ranks among the best in all counties in the state capital. The governor even praised him for his good governance of the county. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these are all from Qiao Jiwei Credit, although the county magistrate doesn't like this kid, he is indeed the God of Wealth in the county, and the Qiao family can't let him be taken away.

"Bold!" The county magistrate slammed the case on the table, "How dare you act wildly in our county, look lawless, drag it out, beat forty big boards, and then drive out of the county."

As soon as the county magistrate issued the order, the two brothers Qiao Jifa were dragged out by the yamen servants, and only the screams of the two men outside were heard, which was terrifying.

The aunt couldn't hear that her own son was suffering so much, so she knelt down and cried for mercy, but to no avail.

In the end, Qiao's family was driven out of the county by several saber policemen.

Qiao Jiwei and shopkeeper Guo are currently drinking wine in a house on the outskirts of a county. There are some green bamboos planted outside the house, which is very refreshing and relaxing, and it is also good for dispelling the heat of summer.

Qiao Jiwei personally poured some green tea for shopkeeper Guo, "Is everything arranged?"

Shopkeeper Guo put the tea cup closer to his body, "I have arranged for some people to hide on the path they must pass. From now on, they will never dare to step into this county again."

Qiao Jiwei raised his eyebrows, "If they dare to set foot here again, I'll give them to..." Qiao Jiwei wiped his neck with his hand, signaling to kill with a knife.

"Hey," Qiao Jiwei slapped his thigh, "tell your subordinates to extort three hundred coins from Qiao Jifa, and if you don't have any, you will keep it as a coolie."

Shopkeeper Guo didn't expect Qiao Jiwei to be so ruthless, with a slight shock on his face, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, it's just why he has to be so ruthless."

"It's the money they sold me for."

·

On the other hand, after the whole village besieged Qiao Jifa's two brothers, Qian's mother found that the broken silver in the drawer disappeared inexplicably after returning home.So he hurriedly found someone to rush to the county seat and told Qiao Jiwei about the matter.

Qiao Jiwei immediately informed the county government of this matter, and the county magistrate also attached great importance to this matter and sent a pair of police officers to investigate.Because he was the person involved, Qiao Jiwei also joined in logically.

The first question is the whereabouts of the money. Some police officers originally speculated that someone in the village was greedy for petty gains and took away the Qian family's money.But if you think about it carefully, the people in this village made more or less money last year, and they don't care about the small fortune of the Qian family.

Qiao Jiwei carefully recalled all the people present at the incident in his mind, only to find that one person was missing, and he was also an important planner of the conspiracy-Qian Guang.At that time, he was cooking dye, and it was better to see Qian Guang appearing at the gate of the courtyard, but he disappeared after the two brothers Qiao Jifa entered.

The county government officials wanted to search around the village centered on this village, but Qiao Jiwei ruled out the west direction first.

A catcher quickly asked doubts: "Why?"

Qiao Jiwei chuckled, and explained to the arresters, "Because the people from Qiao's mansion came from the west, Qian Guang and them had colluded for profit. Now that he got the money, he would definitely not go the same way with them."

Qiao Jiwei led all the arresters in the surrounding villages to find out if any strangers had been there, followed the clues bit by bit, and caught Qian Guang in Wujiatun in less than half a day.At this time, Qian Guang had not had time to spend the money.

Qian Guang was arrested and quickly walked towards the county seat. Qiao Jiwei was a few meters away in front of him.Qian Guang knew that the charge of theft was confirmed, and he would face a long prison sentence in the future.At the end of the day, he still didn't give up hope, "Ji Wei, my good brother, can't I be wrong, please forgive me this time."

In fact, the punishment for the thief in ancient times depends on the opinion of the original owner.If the original owner wishes to have a lighter sentence, the thief will receive a lighter punishment.

"If you don't want to be in prison, you can do it, but you have to do dirty work for our family for 20 years"

Upon hearing this request, Qian Guang immediately remained silent.He'd rather go to jail than do dirty talking

After this incident, it was almost the end of June, which was the hottest time of the year. Qiao Jiwei was also very busy during these days, picking grass and cooking dyes, and selling clothes.There are few idle moments in a day.The two female relatives of the Qian family were not idle either. Mother Qian was in charge of selling sorghum wine and cakes. Baking cakes was often sweating profusely at this time, while Fei Cui was in charge of various housework.

Qiao Jiwei reckoned that the caravan should be back soon, and he didn't know how Qian Dayong was doing, whether he had collected peppers and tomatoes or not.
