"He originally wanted to get some benefits and left, but after drinking and being booed by his companions, he had a conflict with the fourth brother and the others just after he arrived at Zhou's house."
Zhou Man: "Then what did they say that our Zhou family should marry their daughter?"
"That's because the eldest brother and the others have been unwilling to give money, so they said it to scare the eldest brother and the others." Bai Shan paused and said: "But I don't think they may not have this plan in their hearts. The eldest brother is right, just like the fourth brother As you said, kill them once and kill all their thoughts, otherwise it will be a trouble in the future."
Although it is not infinite, if it pops up from time to time, it is enough to irritate people.
Bai Shan thinks it's good to break off relatives, such relatives should be broken continuously, and they may be disturbed in the future.
"I put people in the wing room, although it's a bit cramped for eight people to live in one room, but it's easy to manage." Bai Shan took a sip of a cup of tea, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring them some food later, and then put all the people in the room. The things that may hurt people are collected, and the matter can be settled when the people from the Zhang family come tomorrow."
Yin or shook the folding fan in his hand, "Detaining a good citizen, this can be regarded as a lynching."
Zhou Man also looked at Bai Shan, "You are still an official, knowing the law and breaking the law..."
Bai Shan: "... Then you mean to leave it to the fourth brother? Stay at Zhou's house, in case they hurt someone..."
Zhou Man immediately said: "It's clear that I'm staying as a guest. After all, the people in the house are either my cousin or my nephew. It's rare for them to come home. It's justified for me to stay for one night."
Yin Hu waved his folding fan and got up, "It's fine if you have your own ideas."
Bai Shan nodded Zhou Man's nose and said, "Aren't your relatives my relatives?"
Zhang's family only received the news from Qili Village when it was dark, and wanted to come immediately, but the clan elders decided not to go until the next day after seeing the dark night.
They set off early, the next day Zhou Man and Bai Shan had just finished their breakfast when someone came outside and said, "Master, lady, someone from the village said that Zhang's family has arrived."
Bai Shan got up immediately, "Go and let the people in the wing room go, by the way, have they had breakfast yet?"
"It's going to be delivered to them."
After thinking for a while, Bai Shan said: "Then wait until they eat their breakfast before going there, fetch some water for them to freshen up, and let them tidy up."
The servants responded and left.
In the wing room, the people who had been tied up all night were untied, their hands and feet were numb, and even their mouths became numb, and they didn't want to say a word.
A servant of the Bai family brought warm water up, "Guest, let's wash up first."
The members of the Zhang family were astonished and wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but after only two steps, they saw many servants with sticks guarding the door, and immediately stopped.
After being locked up all night, the eight of them finally felt timid, not as bold as yesterday.
They washed their faces and tied their hair briefly. Just as they were about to talk, two servants came in, one of them was carrying a large basket, and there was a smell of white flour and meat wafting from it.
The eight people looked over with straight eyes.
The servant lifted the cloth on the basket, revealing a basket of white and fat buns, "Guests, you must be hungry after breakfast, how about eating some buns and drinking some tea before going out?"
"Me, can we go out?"
"Of course," the servant said, "Our lord has said that the elders of the Zhang family will come over today, and we will eat breakfast later. Our lord and lady will accompany the distinguished guests to see the ceremony."
"I tied up the distinguished guests like yesterday because I was afraid that the distinguished guests would impulsively do something harmful to themselves, for your safety, please forgive me."
The eight members of the Zhang family: They are lying to ghosts, they only hurt themselves because they are brainless.
They just run!
But... They looked at the buns in the basket and decided to eat them first, even if they wanted to run, they would be more energetic after eating, wouldn't they
The eight people immediately started to grab it, splitting up all the buns in the basket in an instant.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man were about to pick them up and go to Zhou's house, when they saw Yin He was already dressed and standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing the two of them, he snapped open his folding fan and looked up at the sky, "The sun is so good today. I don't know what kind of scenery the village is like. I seem to..."
"Let's go together," Zhou Man felt that it would be difficult for him to rack his brains to think of a reason, so he said directly, "We're going to hire someone now."
Yin Hu immediately closed the fan and said with a smile, "Let's go."
The eight members of Zhang's family had enough to eat and drink, and they were quietly looking out, when they saw Bai Shan and the three of them walking together, they immediately put their feet back.
Bai Shan pretended not to see them, and went forward to salute them, saying, "Hi cousins, hello cousins and nephews, the elders of the Zhang family have arrived in the village, let's go out and meet them."
The eight members of the Zhang family said, "You really let us go?"
"Of course it's true," Bai Shan asked with a smile, "otherwise what would I do with my cousins and nephews?"
In order to occupy his family's bed and eat his family's rice
The eight members of Zhang's family huddled together and followed Bai Shan out tremblingly. It was because he frightened them yesterday that he grabbed them as soon as he said they wanted to. They have deep memories.
Everyone from the Zhang family has arrived, and the village chiefs and elders of the two families requested by Bai Shan have already sat at Zhou's house.
Although it is a good time for autumn harvest, and today is a sunny day, there are quite a few villagers who leave their work in the field and lie outside the fence of Zhou's house to watch the excitement. Mostly men.
Even Bai Shan couldn't hold back and whispered to Zhou Man: "Why are there still a lot of men who like to gossip in the village?"
Zhou Man gave him a contemptuous look, "Isn't this normal?"
This has always been the case in their village, as you can see from the comparison of the number of men and women sitting under the banyan tree every day.
The eight people were brought into the yard, Bai Shan ignored them and rushed to the other side of Zhang's house to cry about the incident of being kidnapped last night. Turn around and salute the elders of the Zhang family.
"... The boy's surname is Bai, and he is the son-in-law of the Zhou family. The elders of the clan should have heard of me. My wife is the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Man," Bai Shan said, "Yesterday, people from the Zhang family had a quarrel with the Zhou family. , and even raised their hands, the two families were originally relatives, but the quarrel reached the point of murder yesterday, and if they deal with it in such a muddled manner, it will become a serious disaster in the future, so the boy asked the elders of the two sides to judge the matter. "
He paused and then said: "I dare you, I have been a county magistrate outside for several years, so how about inviting me to be a host?"
Naturally, the Zhou family had no opinion at all, while the Zhang family looked at each other. After a while, a clan elder dared to say in a low voice: "Master Bai, you are the son-in-law of the Zhou family, so naturally you are standing next to their house. side."
Bai Shan said with a smile: "I'm just the host, the judgment depends on the clan elders on both sides, there are so many folks around here, everyone has eyes to see, and ears to listen, am I biased, after hearing it, they will naturally have their own judgments. "
