Scholar and old attack

Jiang Jingyuan's words and the chattering villagers around also made Chen Xiuxiu's thoughts drift back to the past. She still remembered that she had a relationship with Jiang Jingyuan's father Jiang Yuanmao once or twice when she was in her boudoir.

At that time, Jiang Yuanmao was still a young young man. He came to borrow books at home, and ran into him by accident. He thought it was just an episode. Who knows that Jiang Yuanmao has been studying harder since then. .

He told her only after they got married that he had already been in love with him at that time, and she still remembers the burning eyes after he lifted the hood.

The two of them lived happily ever after they got married, but it's a pity that God is ruthless...

His eyes were moist, and his eyes shifted to Jiang Jingyuan, who was talking eloquently. God finally had eyes, and he didn't let Jing Yuan follow in his father's footsteps, and now he can still stand in front of her well.

"This..." Jiang Yuancai also heard the discussions of the villagers behind him, and even those who came to make trouble with him flinched a little. Dead or half-dead scholars are really nothing to them. After all, Datong is next to Jiangnan, but The living scholars, the ordinary people really offended them, Jiang Yuancai wanted to back down for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingyuan, who has always been out of the door and only read the books of sages, would have such a good eloquence, but he had to admit that what Jiang Jingyuan said was right, so he could only grit his teeth again, "Yes, your father is indeed a janitor. born."

"The fourth uncle must also know about the benefits of being a scholar." Jiang Jingyuan stared at Jiang Yuancai with burning eyes, making Jiang Yuancai feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, an ordinary scholar is exempt from tax for [-] mu, and his family does not need to serve corvee except for himself. Because Brother Yuan Mao is a corvette student, an extra [-] mu of land is granted tax-free, and one more person in the family is exempt from corvee."

Although Jiang Yuancai was uncomfortable, he was not afraid of Jiang Jingyuan when he spoke. Even if Jiang Jingyuan was a scholar, he was Jiang Jingyuan's elder. The Ming Dynasty always valued filial piety. Even the emperor could not show the face of the elders in the clan.

"That's right." Jiang Jingyuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard Jiang Yuancai's words carefully. Jiang Yuancai was stepping into the trap set by him step by step.

"It is precisely because my father is the first granny in the history of Wutong County, he has really won glory for the county and the villagers. My father is a grateful person, and he donated the [-] acres of tax-free land under his name. , and the family’s two tax quotas were given to the clan free of charge, and the elders of the clan were also grateful for their father’s kindness, so they allocated [-] acres of good paddy fields to our family. Fourth uncle, I am right.”

After Jiang Jingyuan said this, his body felt a little weak. If he hadn't supported himself with a mouthful of anger, he might have been unable to hold on.

Jiang Yuancai showed an ugly look on his face. He naturally knew these old things clearly, but many people in the village were kept in the dark. When the family was weakest, they took back the [-] acres of paddy fields.

With his current status in the clan, it is not a problem to get another five acres of paddy fields.

But after being pierced by Jiang Jingyuan like this, his face also turned green and pale when he heard the whispers of the surrounding clansmen.

After Jiang Jingyuan uttered some words, his mind became clearer, he ignored Jiang Yuancai's ugly face, and added fuel to the flames, "Original father died, and these honors must be taken back. The former county magistrate and my father had a friendship. In addition, my father has quite a reputation for talents, after reporting to the court, these honors have been preserved for another 20 years, if I fail to pass the exam in these 20 years, everything that the family enjoys now will return to the court."

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan's words came out, the villagers were in an uproar. Before when their own interests were not involved, they could still be outsiders and enjoy watching the show. Now, when their own interests were involved, all of them looked pale and looked at each other. They whispered to each other and started discussing.

"Now fourth uncle incites the clansmen to ask my family to return the family land, it's all right, as long as fourth uncle returns the glory that my father preserved to my family." Jiang Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and coldly glanced at the shocked villagers, " The [-] acres of paddy fields were obtained by my father with his own ability, and now that the family is well-developed, I don't think they need my father's care, fourth uncle, what do you think?"

Hearing Jiang Jingyuan's light and light words, Jiang Yuancai was not as casual as before, but was sweating profusely, with a few wisps of cold sweat on his forehead, and a chill came out spontaneously.

The surrounding villagers who had nothing to do with themselves immediately turned their finger on Jiang Yuancai.

"Jiang Yuan Cai's family, you want Jing Yuan's field, don't drag us into the water, thanks to the care of Yuan Mao brothers these years, the villagers have been able to live a good life, now they are tired of living a good life, why not I want to go back to the past."

The speaker was a somewhat shrewd woman, she was meticulous in grooming herself, and her words were very responsible, but her eyes that flashed brightly from time to time betrayed her true thoughts.

"That's right, Jiang Silang, don't forget, your family still occupies five acres of tax-free land and a quota of exemption from corvee. After all these years, I don't know how much money it has saved your family."

In the crowd, another honest man spoke up, but he was honest, but his words changed the color of the villagers.

How much food can be saved a year by not paying taxes on five acres of land? No wonder Jiang Yuan’s wealthy family has become richer and richer these years. It turns out that there are such tricks in it. Clothes.

At the moment, the villagers are chattering, some of the villagers who used to watch the theater have been pulled out, and the old things are revealed, and some villagers who have not benefited naturally feel uneasy, and wish to get these benefits The villagers who made a fortune in silence were eaten alive.

Jiang Jingyuan looked coldly at the group of villagers outside the house, from the initial bickering to a village fight, and sure enough, the world is bustling and bustling for profit, and the world is bustling and bustling for profit.

Nothing can escape the word interest, even the closest clansman will fall into you and fire because of interest.

"Brother Jing Yuan is really good. You can get rid of these people with just a few words." Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan's side for real, and looked at Jiang Jingyuan adoringly with a pair of black pearl-like eyes that were rippling.

In the past, he only thought that Brother Jing Yuan kept his ears to the outside world and only read the books of sages, so he didn't bother with these mundane matters. Only now did he know that Brother Jing Yuan had such a strong time.

He didn't read much, so he couldn't describe Jiang Jingyuan at this moment, but he felt that Jiang Jingyuan at this moment was more heroic than any Jiang Jingyuan he had seen before.

Jiang Jingyuan's words just now not only relieved himself from the siege, but also turned everyone's blame on Jiang Yuancai. Now Jiang Yuancai is like a rat crossing the street, without the momentum he had just now.

Surrounded by three or five villagers who have worked hard all the year round, they were either beaten or insulted. Thinking about it, the villagers who didn't get the benefits hated Jiang Yuancai to death, and those who had enjoyed the benefits also hated Jiang Yuancai to death. .

Without Jiang Yuancai's fuss today, these things would not have been exposed, and they could have made a fortune in silence in the clan, but now they have become the target of public criticism.

Not long after, Jiang Yuancai's whole body was injured, and he didn't have the scorching aura just now. In the village where everyone was shouting and beating, he fled like a mole in a hurry.

"Mother, my son is incompetent. I can't redeem Jiang Yuan's reputation for humiliating my mother just now. I can only let him suffer a little bit. Later, I will let my mother out of the bad breath in my heart."

Jiang Jingyuan's words are extremely firm. Now that he occupies the body of "Jiang Jingyuan", he should complete the unfinished business for "Jiang Jingyuan" in front of him, and protect the person he wants to protect for him, so that he can live up to this body Grace.

Chen Xiuxiu looked at Jiang Jingyuan with tears in her eyes, holding Jiang Jingyuan's hand tightly with her callused hands, and murmured, "Good son, mother doesn't want you to seek justice for mother, mother only wants you to live well, as long as you If you live in peace and health, mother will be satisfied."

After Chen Xiuxiu finished speaking, she glanced at the rioting villagers in the yard, frowned tightly, and said softly, "Jing Yuan, the courtyard is too noisy, and if these people continue to fight like this, mother is afraid of hurting you." I'm leaving you, you go into the house and rest, I'll ask a clan elder to come over and take care of this matter."

Jiang Jingyuan thought that he still had things to do and needed to conserve his strength to cope with the next thing, so he nodded without delay and asked Xu Shuizhou to help him into the house.

After Chen Xiuxiu saw that Jiang Jingyuan entered the house, she went out from the place where there were not many people, ran to the home of a respectable family member, and hurriedly invited the people to the small courtyard that had already become a mess.

Sure enough, once the clan elder came out, the villagers didn't dare to make mistakes, but the eyes full of anger couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't care what the people outside would do, so he asked Xu Shuizhou to help him go to a case and find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Brother Jing Yuan, you are just recovering from a serious illness, you should cultivate yourself well, and it won't be too late to mess with these after you recover." Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan with a somewhat complicated expression, wondering what Jiang Jingyuan was doing at this time.

Jiang Jingyuan grinds the ink on his own, dips the tip of the pen in the ink, and starts to show off. He is in a hurry now, and it won't be too late to explain to Xu Shuizhou after he finishes writing.

However, Xu Shuizhou was beyond his expectations. Xu Shuizhou was born in a farming family, but he had also studied for several years. Of course he could understand what Jiang Jingyuan wrote, with a look of shock on his face.

Because what Jiang Jingyuan wrote was a lawsuit, suing Dr. Li Sanquan of Jiren Hall in Wutong County for feeding poison to the patient, and neglecting human life.

This Li Sanquan is the one who treated Jiang Jingyuan just now. Chen Xiuxiu has already owed a lot of money to treat Jiang Jingyuan. Most of the pharmacies in the county are unwilling to treat Jiang Jingyuan again. Only this Dr. Li is willing to take medicine on credit .
