I rewrote family history

Chapter 132 Let's Kill Him Together
"Master Hu, you are right to remind me."

"If someone recognizes my handwriting... Maybe they will say that I am in collusion with the bandits, and I am an accomplice of the bandits. It is best to use newspaper words, so that it is not easy to be exposed..."

With the reminder from the fox fairy, Xu Cong easily figured out the danger hidden in it.

He wrote because he couldn't bear it,
But it has not reached the point of destroying the family for this.

He took the paper knife from the desk.

The paper sold in the study is one-knife paper, two feet or four feet apart, and the paper is very large, so it needs a paper cutter to cut out a suitable size before writing.Paper cutter is basically an essential tool for school students.

The paper knife cut the old newspaper, and within a short while, a letter was spelled out.

The content of the letter is only one line.

As for the clipped old newspapers, when no one was looking, he threw them into the fire in the woodshed and burned them all.

……

The next day, the clerk of Xuansheng Rice Shop found the letter stuffed in the door when he got up at night.After Shopkeeper Liu read the letter, he hurried to Xujiabaozi and notified his niece Tian Huilan.Afterwards, Master Xu's family of Xu Zhai moved to Xinye County and temporarily lived in the backyard of Xuansheng Mipu.

Mipu is a place where people come and go.

When there were a few more people, it was clearly seen by the people around.

What's more, when Mr. Xu's family left, not only a few people left, but also the wealth of many lifetimes.It takes several carriages to carry these family assets.When something goes wrong, it will inevitably attract attention.

"Master Xu has come to the county seat."

"I saw it when I was buying rice."

On the third day, while having lunch in Zuo Zhai, Xin Ziniang looked at Xu San'er and said this.Seeing that Xu San'er was moved, she continued: "I don't know him, but I heard that he is the rich man of the nearby Xujiabaozi. He ran to the county with his family and all the money. By the way, The reason why he lives in Xuansheng Rice Shop is because...his daughter-in-law is related to the owner of the Rice Shop..."

I have been neighbors with Xu's father and son for a long time, and with Auntie Da Ya who is good at talking, Xin Ziniang knows more or less about the past of the father and son.

"Uncle Third, your surname is also Xu."

"Aren't you Master Xu?"

"Why is there another Master Xu?"

Huagou, who was eating in Lanhua's arms, put down the spoon for scooping up the rice and asked curiously.

The male and female servants in the family called the third uncle also "Master Xu", so he was a little confused about the two masters Xu.

"You eat it."

"This is an adult's business, don't interrupt."

Lan Hua stopped Hua Gou's questioning, she stuffed some food into her son's mouth, and asked a little nervously, "Why did you come to the county town? Or did the whole family come here, there must be something going on here."

If you just came to the county with your family, although it would make people feel a little weird, it would not be suspicious.But he brought the family wealth to the county seat.Even the dullest people will notice the subtleties when they see it.

Unless there is a catastrophe coming, the wealthy family in the countryside will not move the whole family.

"I heard that there are bandits..."

Xin Ziniang added: "There are bandits targeting Mr. Xu's house, that's why they ran to the relative's house in the county to temporarily avoid the limelight."

bandit?

Hearing these two words, everyone nodded and understood instantly.

From the third year of Xuantong to the sixth year of the Republic of China, there were several chaos in the southwest of Henan.Especially after the white wolf rebelled, there were even more bandits left behind.Coupled with the violent expropriation by Zhao Ti, the new governor of Yu Province, there are countless people who gather people to go to the mountains and fall into the grass.It's just that there are four or five wealthy owners whose homes were destroyed by bandits near Xinye since last year.

The new army in Xixia County, where Er Chaozi was located, would go into the mountains several times to suppress bandits from time to time.

Bandits are no strangers to the ears of the family.

"Have a meal."

"His family has nothing to do with us."

When Xu San'er heard this, he took off the pipe from his waist, knocked on the table, and coughed lightly.

Someone in charge spoke, and the dinner table quickly changed to another topic.Start to discuss which fabric is cheap and good, suitable for making summer clothes.In seven or eight days, it will be summer.

The day when the bandits robbed the village came quickly.

It is three or four days later than Master Hu's memory.

It was probably the day when Xu Cong sent his husband freshly made jelly to relieve the scorching heat.He saw Section Chief Zhong of the police station in the county town hurried out of the city gate with the policeman carrying a spear, and headed for the northwest direction where Xujiabaozi was located.

Two days later, Xu Shuwen came to visit.

"A lot of people died in the clan, about thirteen people, and four crippled..."

"You are... a promising person in our clan, go and participate in the funeral."

"The clan elders also said so."

In the living room of Zuo Zhai, Xu Cong sat in the main seat and listened to Xu Shuwen who was in the guest seat.

"Everyone is of the same race..."

"Is there any hurdle that you can't get past?"

Xu Shuwen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

We haven't seen each other for four or five years, but Xu Shuwen has lost the childishness of his youth and has become a little calmer.He looks a bit like his master Xu Zhiyong, but he couldn't tell when he was young.But after growing up, except for a mole on the left cheek that is missing from the master Xu Zhiyong, Jiazi's face and a black shiny beard on the lips are all carved out of the same mold as the master. of.

"Why... are you here?"

"Shuwen, you are the young master of the Xu family, and you can't represent the elders of the clan."

Withdrawing his gaze from examining Xu Shuwen, Xu Cong stared seriously at his childhood companion in front of him.He was nearly half a foot taller than Xu Shuwen, and his shoulders were also broad, so when he looked from the main seat to the guest seat, he had a more condescending stare.

The young master of a rich man, the son of the patriarch, is not yet qualified to speak on behalf of the patriarchs.

To invite this "enemy" to return to his hometown, at least he must be a well-known figure in the clan.

Although he was not expelled from the family tree, there was some gap between him and the family.

"I have now succeeded the patriarch."

"I am the patriarch."

Xu Shuwen took a deep breath, patted the dusty skirt, and then stood up, "There were some things in the clan that were sorry to you, I know, and I noticed it. Including myself, I also owe you a debt of gratitude. But we are all brothers of the same clan... I have tried my best to overcome the opinions of the clan elders and moved Xian Kao Xian, the ancestor of your family, to the right place in the ancestral hall."

"From now on, if your son is better than mine, the position of patriarch will belong to your son."

Xujiabaozi's ancestral hall enshrines the memorial tablets of the Xu family's ancestors, but even if they are of the same clan, they are divided into rich and poor, and blood relatives.Every family and every household is particular about where the memorial tablets of the ancestors are enshrined.Those whose bloodline is far from the patriarch's line, and those who are poor and humble, will be enshrined on the side wall of the ancestral hall, and the tablet is also a small three-finger wide tablet.

At first, the ancestors of Xu Cong's line got the treatment placed on the side wall.

As for the big names on the front wall, they are generally only enshrined to the patriarchs of the past generations and the villagers who have made contributions to the clan.

Lifted the tablet of the ancestors to the right position....

Xu Cong was moved.

Nobody knew he wrote the newspaper letter, so it wasn't payment.Xu Shuwen's apology this time after he became the patriarch seemed more sincere and courageous than before.Raising their family to a position comparable to the patriarch's was not just raising their family.People who are close to their family will naturally become their fans....

This is a disguised abandonment of Xu Zhi's hundreds of years of hard work in this vein.

It is more valuable than dozens of mu of river irrigated land.

"Where's your father?"

"What does he think?"

Xu Cong didn't rush to agree, and asked about the master Xu Zhiyong.

Xu Shuwen, a student who has eaten foreign ink, can hand over the ruling power in the countryside to his family, but Xu Zhiyong can't. He will try his best to prevent this from happening.Once this happened, master Xu Zhiyong would be dead, and he would be ashamed of his ancestors even under Jiuquan.

Although they are of the same race.

"My father...was broken in the waist..."

"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not."

Xu Shuwen narrated vaguely.

Xu Cong continued to remain silent.

"The year before last, he planted opium and earned too much money. He was jealous of some people in the clan. Everyone said that it was my father's fault that the bandits robbed the village this time. My father wasted money. Besides, my father went to the county town and didn't inform the neighbors about some things, so I don't know who broke his waist in the dark when my father was out of the house for a walk at night..."

"His patriarch can't go on, so he can only give it to me."

"I invite you to go back, and I also want to reform myself in the name of our patriarch..."

After being silent for a while, Xu Shuwen had no choice but to tell the truth when he saw that the atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing.

The smoke paste extracted from opium smoke is almost as heavy as gold.Growing tobacco can make more money than growing wheat and corn.Since the chaos of the world, without the jurisdiction of the government, the cultivation of opium in the countryside has been banned repeatedly.

Xu never expected that the master Xu Zhiyong secretly planted opium in the field.

"I'm going to ask my father about this..."

"I said no."

"You go back first."

Xu Cong hurriedly said.

Xu Shuwen was taken aback when he heard this.

Since he was a child, almost no one gave him a cold face.

But he is no longer the immature boy he used to be.

He walked to the door of the living room, bowed to Xu Cong, and then walked away.

After Xu Shuwen left.

Xu San'er lifted the curtain of the inner hall and came out.

"Baby, what do you think..."

"You can't be fooled by them."

Xu San'er has been a master for some time, and he began to speculate on Xu Zhiyong's father and son's thoughts as a peer.

There is no pie in the world.

It's just that Xu Shuwen's offer was so enticing that he couldn't help hesitating.Even if you don't become the patriarch, but just become a strong competitor of the patriarch, the benefits you get are enough to bless the descendants for countless generations.

This is not something that can be measured by tens or hundreds of silver dollars.

In addition, at his age, he also began to think about the aftermath.If you have status in the clan, you can dig a tomb in a place with good feng shui.The spiritual seat after death will not be unknown, but will be enshrined by the whole family...

"go with!"

"It's cheap to pick up for nothing, there is no reason not to take it."

"I won't be afraid of him anymore."

Xu Cong patted the square table next to the seat and said coldly.

It's his decision at home now.

Since Xu San'er didn't have a clear and strong objection, it's impossible not to stick out his tongue to lick the food that was delivered to his mouth for free.If it doesn't work, then at worst, play hard, he doesn't believe that he can't rule the villagers of Xujiapuzi.

How to drive him away at the beginning, how to treat him back.

He couldn't bear to see some people die because of his conscience.But it doesn't mean that some things are completely forgotten and left behind.

Furthermore... change!

Change customs!

The reason why the good folks in the village became what they are now is inseparable from the relationship with the patriarch.He was taught by new ideas, not the false freedom of Zhao Jiashu and his gang.He talked about pursuing freedom, but he refused to share any of it with his servants.

He does not allow the next autumn harvest.

"Boy, what about your study abroad..."

"When you go back to your hometown, what will you do after you study abroad? You can't let me carry it alone."

Xu San'er pointed out Xu Cong's imminent matter now.

His child wants to study abroad.

Even though he thought in his heart that he was sitting in the position of patriarch, he would be no worse than Xu Zhiyong.But the bottom of my heart is still empty.Moreover, it is Xu Shuwen who is the head of the clan now, and he is even less sure of dealing with Xu Shuwen who has studied in a foreign school.

"Staying abroad..."

"It's not settled yet."

Xu Cong shook his head, "Going to Japan is also a university preparatory course first... Don't worry about it for a while. If it doesn't work, go to a specialized school, take an entrance exam at a domestic university, and then study abroad when the time is right. Now there is no The number of government-funded study abroad..."

If he has a place to study abroad at government expense, there is no need to hesitate and go study abroad as soon as possible.

But he didn't get a place to study abroad at official expense, so he could only study abroad at his own expense.

At my own expense... I don't care about the time of this hour and a half.

"You make up your own mind."

Xu San'er nodded her head.

Whether Xu Cong is studying abroad or staying in China to study in university, in his opinion, there is not much difference.Both of these are enough to honor the ancestors and make him change his family.If you stay in China, you will have more opportunities to meet in the future.

Going abroad...means the unknown, but it makes him worry.

The deliberations are still inconclusive.

Xu Shuwen came to see him for the second time, but Xu Cong still prevaricated, but his attitude softened a bit.

"He wants to learn from the emperor."

"What are you doing three pushes and three yields..."

When Xu Shuwen returned to Xuansheng rice shop where he lived sojourn, Xu Zhiyong and shopkeeper Liu took a sip and cursed.

Xu Cong didn't know about Xu Zhiyong scolding him.

The reason why he refused was because he hadn't decided on the specific direction of his future, and it wasn't a posturing.

And on the second day after Xu Shuwen left, Da Chong also came to visit him.

"Do you know how my mother died?"

"I have never met my mother, but I heard from my father that my mother has an oval face and is very beautiful. When I was one year old, my father went hunting and my mother took me at home. Master Xu broke in and raped me. My mother..."

"My father endured this tone. But later... my mother died, and my father said that my mother could not bear this tone."

"You have a grudge against him. His son is asking you to be the deputy head of the clan. You go to the village and lure him out of the county seat. I will kill him. We are young, and I will not hide it from you. I did the robbery of the village this time." , don't even think about reporting to the official, if you report to the official, my brothers will not let you go."

"Kill him, we will share his family wealth, you will be the patriarch of your Xu clan, and I will continue to be my bandit."

The tiger sat down and said slowly.

　There is a little thing today, so I can only change [-].There will be more changes tomorrow, and it must be [-].Eight thousand, um..., let me think about the consequences.
