The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 134

Fang took the oil lamp into the main room, and under the two oil lamps, he felt that the room was brighter.

Gu Chengli and the others threw the little thief on the ground. Father Gu looked at the man covered in black cloth and felt familiar.Thinking about the shouting made by the man just now, I feel more and more that this is someone I know.

In the middle of the night, there was a thief at home, and everyone didn't have that much patience.Gu Chengyi stepped forward and tore off the black cloth on the man's face. Seeing that his face was no longer covered, the thief immediately lowered his head in panic.

But the moment the little thief lowered his head just now was enough for everyone to see clearly who he was.

Papa Gu exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you?"

Gu Chengyi is the closest person, so of course he can clearly see who this person is.

"Plumber Yu! Is it you?" Gu Chengyi was shocked when he saw his true face.

Seeing that everyone saw his face, Yu Tanzi stopped hiding.

Yu Tanzi raised his face, and Gu Chengyu saw a big eye-catching mole at the corner of Yu Tanzi's mouth.The corner of his mouth twitched, such an obvious sign, it's hard not to recognize it!

It turned out that Yu Tanzi lived at the west end of Shangling Village, and there was only a blind old lady and a younger sister in the family.Yu Tanzi is in his 20s and has not married a daughter-in-law.One is the big scab on the face, which really doesn't please the girl's family; the other is that the Yu family is poor and cannot afford a decent gift.

The eyes of Mrs. Yu's paralyzed child were once scraping thatch on the mountain and going back to use it as firewood. As a result, when she went back, she accidentally tripped over a tree root and rolled down the mountain.When I rolled down, I was poked in the eye by a tree stump, and the blood flowed a lot at that time, and the poke would definitely make me lose my eyesight.

Yu Tanzi's father died early, and the family only had three acres of land. Yu Tanzi refused to work hard, his mother couldn't see, and his sister was still young at the time, so the land became more and more deserted every year, and the fields were not well taken care of. , Of course, not much food will be grown, and after paying taxes, there will be very little left.

The people in the village named Yu Tanzi because he was lazy. In the first few years, he would lie down all day and ignore everything at home, and let a girl in her teens be busy, which was worse than the lazy one in the village.

Now, the past two years have gotten better, and it is said that he is very filial to his wife.Gu Chengyu guessed that this must be another story of a prodigal son returning.But right now, I don't know why this blind man would do such a thing again?Gu Chengyu guessed that he must have been forced into a hurry by the corvée. After all, he left, and only his mother and sister were left at home, so how should he live this day?
"Hey! Are you really a paralyzed man? You are a murderer, and you dare to come to my house to steal money? It's the middle of the night, and our house is still going on. Hmph! Old man, such a thief will be sent to the UK Officer." Lu's dream was disturbed in the middle of the night, so of course he was upset, not to mention that Yu Tanzi came to steal money, so of course it was not a good thing to say.The money at home is her lifeblood!

"Uncle, aunt? I also confessed when I was caught. I just beg you not to send me to the government. I also have no way to survive. An official will come down tomorrow. My family can't make money, so I can only... "When Yu Tanzi heard that he was going to be sent to the official, he became anxious.

In fact, think about it, he also has a back!This was his first time being a thief. If it weren't for his helplessness, why would he be like this?Now that's all right, if you get caught, what should you do if you send him to the police?
"Yu cough! Yu Lin!" Father Gu wanted to call Yu Tanzi, but then he thought, it's not appropriate to call him a nickname like that.

"Your family's difficulties, uncle knows! But this can't be your reason for being a thief. Who doesn't have a problem? Who can collect so much money? Then why don't you see others come out to steal? It can be seen that this is not The problem of not having money is a problem of morality. It is true that our family got some money a while ago, but it was spent too much." Gu Lao said earnestly to the paralytics.

"Uncle! I know what you said is right, and I also know that I am wrong. I am just delusional. Uncle! Please let me go! Don't send me to the police. There is another blind person in my family." My old lady and a sister, if I go into the cell, what will happen to my poor old lady and my sister?" Yu Tanzi struggled as he spoke, as if he wanted to kneel up.

But soon, Gu Chengyi pressed her body and did not let her move.

Paralyzed Yu felt a little dejected when he was suppressed. In fact, serving corvee and going to prison are not far away. Both of them will almost die. The punishment for stealing in the Dayan Dynasty is extremely severe. In the court, you must first get ten board.Don't underestimate these ten big boards, those officials can beat you to pieces, if not treated in time, your life will be in danger.

Thinking about it this way, I became listless.Forget it, anyway, either going to prison or serving corvee, there is no difference between the two.

"Father! You can't just let him go, otherwise, what will he do next time?" Gu Chengyi didn't want to just let Yu Tanzi go.

"Uncle! How can there be a next time for me? If you don't send me to the government, you will report my name to serve in corvee tomorrow. I don't know if I will come back. It's just a fluke, so why use it?" Do you have to do this kind of thing again?" Yu Tanzi said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Father! I don't think there is anything else that can be done for Paralyzed Yu. Why don't we send him to the government? It's so pitiful!" Seeing Paralyzed Yu's appearance, Gu Chengli also felt that he was a bit pitiful.

Seeing that Yu Tanzi still had some filial piety, Gu Laopa didn't want to send him to the official.However, he was still a little unwilling to let him go just like that.If in the future, other people also go to Gu's house in the middle of the night like a paralyzed person, will they have a hard time?So punishment is necessary.

Seeing that Papa Gu was silent, everyone also looked at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Gu Chengyu took a look at Yu Tanzi, and saw that he didn't look like a cunning person, so he had an idea in his heart.However, this matter will be discussed later when no one is around.

Old man Gu thought about it, although their family caught him, but their family can't mess with this matter, it's better to lock him in the firewood room first, and invite Li Zheng to come in after dawn, and then deal with it .

"Boss, you and the second child will lock Yu Lin into the firewood house first. This matter will have to wait until dawn tomorrow, and Li Zheng will be invited to deal with it." Old Gu instructed the two of them.

Then I saw that the third and fourth children were staring at each other, almost falling asleep, so they asked them to go back to the room to sleep first.

"Little Treasure! Why don't you go to sleep soon? You'll get up early tomorrow to go to study, and you've been delayed for so long today. Alas! It's really one thing after another, and it's never over. You don't stop when you want to sleep soundly. "After Mrs. Lu and the others left, they got on the kang, and yawned a lot during the period. She was too sleepy, and her mind was a little confused. She always felt that there was something else that she didn't remember to say, but at this moment, she Just want to sleep.
