Chapter 1925: Where Is Niu Again After 4 Years

"Catch grasshoppers, exchange grasshoppers, catch grasshoppers and get eggs..."

The drizzle was falling, and a woman with a tired face but joy in her eyes led her two children across the bridge over the Luo River.

She held a big new umbrella to cover her eight-year-old son, and the ten-year-old eldest son held his own umbrella.

The youngest son held a string of autumn grasshoppers strung with grass in his hand and sang a nursery rhyme.

The eldest son was reciting the contents of the Analects, such as "The gentleman is all-round but not partial, while the villain is partial but not all-round."

The woman listened to the nursery rhyme sung by her youngest son and said as if she had memories: "It has been four years. He came to relieve the locust plague in Shandong that year, but now locusts are hard to find. Today he comes again to relieve my husband from the suffering of imprisonment."

'Puff! ' A fish jumped out of the water and dived into the water.

"Mom! Can my brother and I go to school next year?" The older child who was reciting the Analects turned his umbrella to the side, turned his head and looked up to ask his mother.

Without waiting for the woman to answer, Huang Bo, who was following her, spoke first: "Yes, tell the school and remove the two teachers. You go back, no one dares to say anything to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." The woman hurriedly thanked him.

Her husband went in, and the child was attacked by other children in the school. The teacher should have disciplined him, but they acquiesced.

Even if the child's father pushed someone else's cow down the hillside and killed it, he should have paid the compensation and sentenced him.

It was not a crime of involvement, so why was he involved?

So the two teachers were punished, and other students who spoke ill of the two children were beaten with a slap on the hand, and if they were not convinced, they were forced to drop out of school.

"Is my husband okay?" The woman thought of the suffering of the child in the school, and wondered if the man was suffering.

"You will be able to go home in a few days. Today, the owner asked you to eat crabs together." Ge Yan did not answer directly.

I was beaten for imitating the tiger's roar in the middle of the night, and my fingers were broken, and there were sutured wounds on my body. What can I say?

When the four members of the family met, the two children shouted "Dad" and tears flowed out.

The woman saw that her man was wrapped in gauze in more than ten places, and sat there laughing foolishly, and forced back her tears.

"Did many people beat you?" The woman knew about plaster. Medical books specifically mentioned that doctors in Luoyang would apply plaster to people with fractures.

"They talked at night, and I couldn't say anything. I thought, I won't let them sleep, so I yelled and scared them. Hehe!"

The man is not afraid now, who dares to beat him again? He will work for Li Dongzhu in the future.

"Dad, are you imitating the call of a big insect again?" The child wiped his tears and was relieved to see that his father seemed to be in good condition.

"You two will practice with me in the future. Li Dongzhu will use this skill. Eat crabs, eat crabs quickly."

The man was in a good mood when he saw his wife and children, even though he was numb from the pain at the moment.

The pain of the wound is not as good as stitches. After stitches, it will swell and then change the dressing.

Take care of the broken finger, it won't heal in a short time.

Fortunately, the weather is cooler, so it's not so painful.

"Hanzi, don't you want to eat?" The man's wife looked around, found the basin, and took the child to wash his hands.

"No, I'm not allowed to eat. If I eat, I'll say I'm eating crabs, which will cause trouble.

In the future, you can do easy work at home, rent out the land, and ask for less rent.

Li Dongzhu started to pay me wages, twenty strings a month, and asked me to practice animal sounds more now."

Hanzi's name is Zhang Han, and he lives up to his name.

With money, I don't feel so much pain in my body!

"What do you do for twenty strings?" Zhang Han's wife couldn't figure it out. Her family has little money, otherwise why would she ask others to borrow a cow.

"I don't know, anyway, Li Dongzhu asked me." Zhang Han shook his head.

Then he suddenly remembered something: "Master Li wants the cow again, saying that he paid for the cow, and he will give us the money to pay it back. The cow is his. He asked where the dead cow went?"

"The cow was taken away by the government office, how can it be given to us? We can't give the cow to Master Li, what should we do?" The woman began to worry.

"It doesn't matter, my master will go to the government office to ask for it. My master is a prime minister, he is magnanimous, he wins people over with virtue, and he is easy to talk to."

Huang Bai knew that someone was going to be unlucky. The dead cow could be sold for meat and cowhide.

The government office would take it away, of course, and it would be divided. As for Zhang Han, what could he do?

Change to Chang'an and try it? Dare to do that, there are students to help the people fight lawsuits.

...

"Brother Yang has worked hard for the people, it's hard, sit down quickly, we haven't seen each other for a while, and there are brothers."

At this time, Li Yi saw his old friend, the chief clerk Yang Li and the people Yang Li brought when he first came to Luoyang.

Now Yang Li has become the county magistrate, and his treatment has improved.

"Doctor Li is the one who serves the country and the people." Yang Li sat halfway nervously. At that time, Li Yi was a fourth-rank official.

Now it is not a question of rank. Li Yi's words are the most effective in the court.

The people of Shannan East Road all owe Li Yi's kindness, and the locust plague has turned into a bumper harvest.

Now it is not easy to find a grasshopper. Children can exchange one penny for 100 grasshoppers.

It is a pity to feed chickens and ducks with grasshoppers.

"Eat crabs. There will be more crabs in the future. Take them home for brothers."

Li Yi had almost eaten, and finally accompanied him. If he didn't eat, how could others eat?

Because of the huge difference in status, everyone tried to let go and started eating crabs, and drank wine in small sips, for fear of getting drunk.

When one person ate about three crabs, Li Yi asked: "If a cow died, who will be responsible for this matter?"

"Cow? Doctor Li wants to eat cows?" Yang Li reacted quickly.

"No, I found a new person. He said that he pushed someone else's cow down the hillside and killed it. He borrowed money to compensate. I will help him pay back the money. The cow should be mine."

Li Yi said it slowly and looked at Yang Li. If Yang Li took it, he would warn him for the sake of their past. He was not allowed to cheat the people again.

"Zhang Han?" Yang Li said the name directly.

"Brother Yang, do you know him?" Li Yi nodded slightly.

"The cow... everyone divided it. The county lieutenant was in charge. He took the biggest part. The rest was for the soup made by everyone. He couldn't eat it all by himself."

Yang Li's face changed and his voice lowered. He gave up his brother first. He would rather die than die with his friends.

"Compensate for the cows. One hundred and one cows. Those who eat them should pay for them. Forget about the brothers. You can get one cow for each cow you eat. I will take one hundred."

Li Yi did not force the other party to give a dead cow and strip him of his official position. The other party was indeed familiar with the local situation.

It happened that there was a need for amnesty, so he used this as an excuse to punish them lightly once. If they ate a dead cow, they would get one hundred cows back.

"Doctor Li, do you want dead cows or live cows?" asked a yamen runner who followed him.

"Of course live cows, how can there be hundreds of dead cows? The cows are alive and well, and they died because of my words?" Li Yi said with a smile.

He wanted to make those people lose a lot of money at once, otherwise they would be charged with theft, which would be considered as official organized theft of people's cows.

After theft, dereliction of duty and other crimes would be charged, which would be a serious crime.

"Thank you, Doctor Li, Doctor Li, we won't dare to do it again in the future."

Another yamen runner was afraid and fortunate, fortunately they met at that time and did not offend Li Yi. High-speed text hand-typed with the system to come to the Tang Dynasty chapter list
