Save the Bachelor of Heaven

When Lu Taiheng heard this, he burst into tears.

When Lu Zilin made a promise to his hometown, he felt it was inappropriate and knew it was an offending job.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.

In fact, the Lu family's property is enough for food, clothing, and living expenses, even if they don't agree to this rural contract.

Just like Bai Jiaxuan, he doesn't have any official position and has never been greedy as a clan leader, but his life is no worse than that of Lu Zilin.

But Lu Zilin was obsessed with officialdom and insisted on being the provincial leader.

Now it's better, this hometown hat has become a noose around the neck. Embezzling nearly a thousand taels is a crime worthy of beheading.

Moreover, he was so embarrassed that the Lu family became the public enemy of Yuan Shang. This made him put his old face wherever he could.

"Little fairy, do you think this is retribution for our Lu family?" Lu Taiheng looked at Xiang Nandao.

"Master, every drink and peck will have cause and effect. Whoever owes the debt will pay it back." Xiang Nan said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Uncle Zilin owed a debt, and it's still a good thing now. I'm afraid he won't pay it back now. , I will pay double the amount in the future.”

Lu Taiheng nodded.

"Uncle, don't be sad. Zilin was confused for a moment." Bai Jiaxuan also comforted him.

"He is not confused for a moment, he has been confused all his life. How did I raise such a beast!" Lu Taiheng said, hating that iron is not made of steel, "Jiaxuan, you have to help this brother. Bailu is a... family !”

Lu Taiheng stood up and said excitedly. Suddenly he lost his balance and sat back on the chair. His expression changed accordingly.

"Uncle~" Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Jiaxuan quickly stepped forward to help him, but saw that Lu Taiheng was unresponsive.

Xiang Nan stepped forward and took a breath, then felt for his pulse, and then shook his head at Bai Jiaxuan, "Uncle Jiaxuan, Master Taiheng is gone!"

…

After Lu Taiheng left, Lu Zilin was released to bury his father.

He angrily drove Lu Zhaopeng out of the funeral shed, saying that from now on he would never have a son like him, and naturally he would not let him attend his grandfather's wake or funeral.

Although Lu Zhaopeng was heartbroken, he had no choice but to kowtow to his grandfather's grave from a distance.

Later, he took Tian Fuxian, who had embezzled thousands of taels of silver, to the provincial capital and handed it over to Zishui County Kuomintang Secretary Yue Weishan, asking him to deal with Tian Fuxian severely as a corrupt official.

Yue Weishan promised very well, but turned around and released Tian Fuxian, saying that there was insufficient evidence of corruption.

But Lu Zhaopeng knew that there was insufficient evidence and it was just a cover. The reason why Tian Fuxian was released was just because officials protected each other.

Lu Zhaopeng was greatly disappointed in Yue Weishan, and he understood more and more what Xiang Nan had said.

…

In April, Xiang Nan found Lu Zhaopeng again and whispered, "You can hide as much as you can, and you can move as much as you can, but the weather is about to change."

"What news did you hear?" Lu Zhaopeng asked curiously after hearing this.

"Anyway, you have to believe me." Xiang Nan reminded, "Those whose identities have been exposed must be transferred quickly. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Lu Zhaopeng nodded, "I will pay attention."

Xiang Nan knew that he was organized and disciplined, and that it was not the individual who had the final say, so he had no choice but to nod, "Anyway, you must be extremely careful. If you need my help, come to me."

"Thank you." Lu Zhaopeng nodded.

Xiang Nan immediately floated away.

Lu Zhaopeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw Xiang Nanhong flying away, flying hundreds of meters away in an instant.

…

About a week later, great changes occurred in Bailuyuan.

A group of people broke into Lu Zilin's house at night, put a pistol to his head, and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of his son Lu Zhaopeng. Lu Zilin was frightened to the point of peeing on the spot.

Afterwards, Lu Zhaopeng ran away, and the group of people who had previously organized a farmers' meeting with him were caught, killed, and escaped. The plain was completely in chaos.

But the group of local tyrants, evil gentry, landlords, bullies, and corrupt officials who had been tried by the Peasants' Association began to tremble again.

Tian Fuxian returned to the original position and brought back dozens of people for training, all of whom had guns in their hands.

As soon as they arrived, they started to arrest and torture people. They hung people from the peasant association high and then threw them down hard. Boss He from Hejiafang was beaten to death in this way.

Such brutal methods also frightened the villagers.

Therefore, when he asked the villagers to return all the grain, fields, and livestock they had received, no one dared to refuse.

And in order to survive, those who had participated in the farmers' association before came to Tian Fuxian to confess, gave him gifts, knelt down to him, and apologized to him.

The Bailucang Security Center where he works has no interruptions all day long.

And when Tian Fuxian came back this time, he became even worse than before. He set up gambling games, opened pipes, and played with women... He turned a good safe house into a pipe gambling house and a rampant brothel, and also made Yuan Shang miserable. The atmosphere is smoky and the world is in decline.

When Bai Jiaxuan found out, he was very angry.

He couldn't cure Tian Fuxian, so he picked out the people in Bailu Village who went to Tian Fuxian's place to play tricks, and brought them to the ancestral hall to practice magic, hoping to suppress the evil spirit emanating from the security center.

However, what he did offended Tian Fuxian.

Tian Fuxian was just a small township general before. Apart from collecting some grain, collecting some taxes, and taking advantage of the opportunity to mop up some oil, he actually had no great power.

If the patriarch Bai Jiaxuan does not cooperate with his work, then Tian Fuxian has nothing to do with him.

But it's different now.

In addition to being a township leader, Tian Fuxian is also the minister of the Kuomintang branch in Bailuyuan. He also has more than 30 regiments under him. It can be said that he has great power, like a local emperor.

Now that Bai Jiaxuan is beating these villagers, in his opinion, he is challenging his authority.

Therefore, Tian Fuxian was very angry and secretly instructed Lu Zilin to find a way to punish Bai Jiaxuan.

Lu Zilin's current position in Yuan Shang is very embarrassing because of his son Lu Zhaopeng's incident.

Lu Zhaopeng is now a wanted criminal, and his father is certainly not honorable.

Moreover, Tian Fuxian was tried by the Peasants' Association and was almost sentenced to jail, and even almost lost his life.

Now that it was hard for him to escape death, he naturally felt angry and even hated Lu Zilin.

Therefore, if Lu Zilin did not perform well, he would probably be the next person to be thrown to death.

So Lu Zilin began to think of ways to take revenge on Bai Jiaxuan.

…

For a time, the situation in Yuan Shang changed. Although Xiang Nan was concerned, he did not intervene.

In his eyes, Yue Weishan, Tian Fuxian, and Lu Zilin are just a group of beasts wearing monkeys and cows and horses.

Xiang Nan let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, the more fun you have now, the greater the retribution will be in the future.

During this period of time, he had not been idle, specializing in purchasing grain from outside the customs, transporting it to inside the customs, and storing it in his ancestral temple.

This drought will last for two years, followed by half a year of locust plagues and half a year of plague. If we are not careful, we may fall into trouble. Therefore, Xiang Nan had to be prepared.

However, he found that the villagers were obviously slacking off a lot compared to last year.

Because the drought will happen next year, many people, even if they were nervous at first, soon stopped taking it seriously and did not actively save food or money.

In many villages outside Bailuyuan, villagers have planted tobacco seedlings on good land. As a result, there is not enough land to grow food. And even if the smoke seedlings can be sold for money, the little money earned will not be enough to buy food in the event of a famine.

It is really short-sighted and the gain outweighs the loss.
