Chapter 139: Eliminate Evil
After Yi Qingfeng and his party left the skeleton monster tomb, they continued to come in the direction of Longlin City, and after another day, they finally got rid of the embrace of the mountains and came to a town called "Fengqing".
Walking on the bustling streets again after half a month, everyone seemed quite excited, Xiang Chen bit a hot meat bun in his mouth and said happily: "Mom, it's so delicious, I dreamed of it every night a few days ago." ”
Dongfang Feixue glanced at him with disgust and said, "Look at your unpromising appearance, a meat bun will make you happy like this." ”
Xiang Chen snorted coldly: "I see that you eat quite with relish, if you look down on meat buns, give me a good meal." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab the bun in Dongfang Feixue's hand, and Dongfang Feixue swallowed the meat bun in three or two bites while blocking it
Xiang Chen said: "Look, it's just a hard mouth, obviously I like to eat it very much." ”
Dongfang Feixue glanced at him and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." As he spoke, he picked up another meat bun and continued to eat.
Walking and walking, everyone came to an inn, Yi Qingfeng said: "Okay, it's time to the inn, everyone can sleep comfortably tonight." As he spoke, he led the group towards the inn.
After settling down, it was already three poles of the sun, and everyone discussed eating a beautiful meal first, and then going to the city for a walk after eating.
Everyone sat around a table, Yi Qingfeng took out a silver ingot and put it on the table and said, "Little Er, bring the delicious and delicious food in your store, and the master will have a good meal today." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingots on the table with white flowers and his eyes lit up and said: "Don't worry, this store has good wine and good meat, you wait, the villain will go to prepare it for you immediately." As he spoke, he hurried towards the back kitchen.
Soon, a table of beautiful wine and food was served, and Yi Qingfeng said happily: "It's so fast, Xiao Er, there will be a lot of rewards later." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, please use it slowly, if you need anything, just ask." He said and exited the private room. Yi Qingfeng and the others feasted, Wu Renliang drank the wine one after another, and praised it while drinking: "Good wine, really good wine, drinking this wine is like a fairy." ”
Mu Qianqian smiled: "You drink slowly, it looks like someone wants to rob you." ”
Wu Renliang said happily: "I'm smiling, I haven't drunk this thing for too long, and my mouth is really greedy." ”
Everyone ate and drank for a while, and in a blink of an eye, a table of wine and food was swept away.
After eating and drinking, everyone walked on the street with great interest, and everyone mixed in the endless sea of people to look left and right, each looking for interesting and beautiful new things. Walking and walking, Yi Qingfeng was attracted by a little girl about eight or nine years old in front of a pharmacy, only to see her pear blossoms squatting on the ground with rain, and the tears of beans kept falling like beads with broken threads, crying so sadly.
Yi Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little girl, what's wrong, who bullied you?"
The little girl raised her head and said with a sad and aggrieved face: "My mother is sick, I came to grab the medicine, the shopkeeper said that I have no money, don't give me the medicine, if my mother doesn't take the medicine again, she will die." As he spoke, he lowered his head and cried even more sadly
Yi Qingfeng squatted down and said, "Little sister, don't cry, big brother has money, I'll catch the medicine for you, okay?"
The little girl nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, big brother, you are really a good person." ”
Yi Qingfeng wiped the tears from the little girl's face with his hand and said, "Don't cry, let's go grab the medicine." As he spoke, he led the little girl towards the drugstore.
Yi Qingfeng said to the owner of the pharmacy: "You are too unsympathetic, the shopkeeper, this little girl's mother is sick, waiting to save her life, why don't you give her the medicine first, not to mention the merits of eating well, then her mother will naturally send the medicine money." ”
The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, this little girl has come to the store to catch the medicine several times, and she hasn't taken a penny, but the store is also a small business, so you can't give the medicine away again and again." Yi Qingfeng said: "That's it, you hurry up and give me half a month's worth of medicine according to the prescription, and the silver will not be less than you." The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Okay, please wait." As he spoke, he turned around and began to grab the medicine from the medicine cabinet.
At this time, Mu Qianqian, Xiang Chen and others walked in and said, "Qingfeng, why did you come to the pharmacy and cause us to look for you everywhere." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "This little girl's mother is sick, I'll grab some medicine for her, you guys go play by yourself, and talk about it when you come back to the inn if there's anything." ”
Mu Qianqian said: "You guys go shopping, I'll stay with Qingfeng." ”
Xiang Chen said: "Okay, leave it to Qingfeng and Qianqian here, and we'll go shopping again." Saying that, he walked out of the pharmacy with Wu Renliang and Dongfang Qingyun brothers and sisters.
After grabbing the medicine, the little sister led Yi Qingfeng and Mu Qianqian to the house on the outskirts of the city, pushed open the wooden door in front of the house, and saw a burst of chickens, ducks and poultry in the yard, and the little sister ran into the house quickly and shouted: "Mother, the medicine is here, thanks to the help of the eldest brother." ”
Yi Qingfeng and Mu Qianqian walked into the house, only to see a woman about thirty-five or sixteen years old, pale, and looking very sick lying on a simple bed, the woman struggled to get up, Yi Qingfeng stopped her and said: "Sister-in-law, don't get up, the medicine has been caught, I'll go and decoct the medicine for you." ”
The woman said gratefully, "Thank you to Engong, if I can survive this life, I will definitely thank Engong for his great kindness in the future." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "The eldest sister-in-law is serious, why worry about this little help." Saying that, he and Mu Qianqian helped to make a fire and decoction medicine.
After the two of them decocted the medicine, they served the woman to drink it, and the woman drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.
Yi Qingfeng called the little girl to the courtyard and said, "Little sister, let me ask you, what is the cause of your mother's illness?"
The little girl said with tears in her eyes: "My father died of illness a few years ago, and the officials in the city insisted that my father owed him fifty taels of silver before his death, and a total of sixty taels with interest, and asked my mother to pay it back within a month, otherwise he would arrest me and take me to his house as a girl, and my mother did not agree." He bullied people, a few days ago he brought his family to my house to ask for someone, my mother got a letter in advance to hide me, He Daguan was furious, and asked his subordinates to beat my mother, and my mother's illness was beaten by them. ”
Yi Qingfeng said angrily after hearing this: "How can this be reasonable, there is such a thing without a king's law in broad daylight, does the government not care about this matter?"
Mu Qianqian said on the side: "Presumably, this He Daguan is powerful and powerful, and the people in the official mansion may have secretly colluded with him, the little sister is orphaned and widowed, how can the people in the official mansion be the masters for them." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Little sister, don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely be the master of your mother and daughter." As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and said: "You can keep this ingot of gold, treat your mother, and if there is anything, go to the "East Gate Official Inn" in the city to find me." With that, he said goodbye to his little sister and headed for the city.
After returning to the inn, Xiang Chen, Wu Renliang, and Dongfang Qingyun brothers and sisters surrounded him and said, "Where did you two go this afternoon, is that little girl and her mother getting better?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "That little girl and her mother were injured and sick in bed by the wicked people in the city called to be He Daguan, I and Qianqian went to take care of it, there will be nothing wrong, tomorrow I plan to go to that He Daguan to ask for an explanation, and take a bad breath for the little girl's mother and daughter." ”
Xiang Chen said: "I'll go tomorrow too." ”
Wu Renliang and others also rushed to say: "I'll go too, I'll go too." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "A wicked person doesn't need everyone to go, tomorrow it is enough for me and Xiang Chen to go." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Okay, just the two of you, then let's have dinner, I'm hungry after an afternoon of shopping." As he spoke, he walked with everyone downstairs to the dining room.
After going downstairs, Yi Qingfeng called the shopkeeper and asked, "Little Er, do you know that there is a big official in the city?"
The shopkeeper said: "Of course I know, He Daguan is famous far and wide, and everyone in the city knows it." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Oh, how can this person be so famous?"
Shopkeeper said: "He Daguan's real name is He Shun, he lives in the He Mansion in the west of the city, his family is rich and powerful, he is the richest family in the city, there are many slaves in the family, there are many wives and concubines, and he has close contacts with the government, so everyone in the city knows him." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "I see, I don't know if this person usually does anything to bully others?"
The shopkeeper said: "If the guest officer asks such a thing, I am afraid that he will not be able to count it on one hand, and it is also known that He Daguan is ruthless and oppresses the people, but because he is afraid of his power, everyone is angry." ”
Yi Qingfeng said clearly in his heart: "Thank you little second brother for telling me." As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to Xiao Er, who got the silver and smiled: "Thank you, guest officer." He said and retreated.
The next day, Yi Qingfeng and Xiang Chen came to the He Mansion located in the prosperous section of the city, only in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, the two stone lions stood on both sides of the very mighty, and there were people in and out of the mansion from time to time, Xiang Chen said: "This must be the Mansion of He Daguan, what should we do next?"
Yi Qingfeng glanced at a tea shop diagonally opposite and said, "Let's go have a sip of tea first, and wait for the opportunity to act." As he spoke, he walked towards the tea shop, and as soon as the two of them walked into the tea shop, a little two hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The two guest officers, please, what do you want to eat?"
Yi Qingfeng found a table where he could see the situation in front of the gate of He Mansion and sat down and said, "Let's have a good pot of tea, and then some good snacks." ”
The shopkeeper said loudly: "Okay, guest officer, sit down for a while, and tea and snacks will be brought to you immediately." He said and retreated.
Yi Qingfeng and Xiang Chen drank tea while paying attention to the situation in front of the door of Hefu, about an hour later, suddenly out of the gate came out of a man about forty years old, white skin, slightly fat, richly dressed, as soon as he went out, several sedan chair drivers standing outside the door hurriedly ran forward, an old man in black said: "Master, where are you going?"
The man said, "Carry me to Tianxianglou, I'm going to meet an important guest." ”
Yi Qingfeng hurriedly called the shopkeeper and said, "Xiaoer, the man in front of the door opposite is He Shun and He Daguan?" ”
Yi Qingfeng took out a piece of broken silver and said, "Little Er, settle the bill." ”。
Waiting for He Shun to sit up in the sedan chair and walk forward, Yi Qingfeng said, "Xiang Chen goes, let's follow." Saying that, the two followed He Shun's sedan chair away.
He Shun took a sedan chair to the front of Tianxiang Building, he got off the sedan chair and walked straight to the private room on the second floor, at this time there were two men and one woman in the private room, seeing He Shun come in, the three got up and saluted and said: "He Daguan is here, please sit down." ”
He Shun smiled slightly and said: "He is late, let you wait for a long time, and please bear with me." ”
One of the three was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a slightly darker complexion and a wide-eyed man, who said: "He Daguan said that he laughed, you can come today to give me Zhao Peng enough face." ”
Everyone sat down to drink, and after three rounds of drinking, He Shun said: "Brother Zhao, don't give me a dumb beaten, let's talk about something directly." ”
Zhao Peng said with a smile: "Brother He is really sharp-eyed, nothing can escape your eyes, then I'll just say it." As he spoke, he motioned to the woman on the side to add wine to He Shun.
Zhao Peng said: "I'll tell you the truth, my good buddy Qian Biao has encountered something recently, and I want to ask Brother He for help." ”
He Shun said quietly: "Oh, let's hear what to say." ”
Qian Biao on the side said: "He Daguanren, there is a sister who is twenty years old, born with a bit of beauty, a few days ago was caught by Wu Daguan, who opened a pharmacy in the city, and has promised to pay a thousand taels of silver as a dowry, thinking that my sister will be happy in the future when she marries Wu Daguan, so I am very happy." ”
He Shun said: "In this case, I should congratulate Brother Qian." ”
Qian Biao sighed and said: "It would be good if it could be smooth sailing, but my father had fingered his sister as a marriage with the Zhang family in the neighboring village before his death, and now Zhang Rongnian, the son of the Zhang family, is twenty-two years old, and has opened a tofu factory in the city, and he can't make a few dollars all year round. ”
He Shun picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said, "You are also thinking about being a big brother, but what does this matter have to do with me He?"
Zhao Peng took over and said: "Brother He, who in the city doesn't know that your hands and eyes are all over the sky, and the big things have shrunk to the size of paper in your hands, if you want me to say that Zhang Rong is too ignorant, Brother Qian has promised him fifty taels of silver to let him withdraw from the marriage, but that kid doesn't know what to do, he just refuses, doesn't this let the elder brother come to ask Brother He to think of ideas." ”
He Shun pondered for a long time and said: "This matter is difficult, if that kid refuses to withdraw from the marriage, there is nothing I can do." ”
Zhao Peng knew that He Shun was just an excuse to prevaricate, so he motioned to Qian Biao to beg hard, and he said to the side: "If Brother He wants money to settle the relationship, just ask, Brother Qian will definitely do everything for the happiness of his sister." ”
He Shun said hypocritically: "For the sake of Brother Qian thinking so much about his sister, He Mou will give it a try." ”
Qian Biao was overjoyed and said: "I am relieved if you say this, come, Brother He, I will toast you on behalf of my sister." ”
He Shun laughed and said, "Okay, cheers." As he spoke, the two of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
At this time, Yi Qingfeng, who was sitting in a private room next to him, urged the internal force to listen to the conversation of He Shun and the others clearly, and he said angrily at the moment: "This He Shun is really a shameless person, I'm afraid that someone will suffer again." ”
Xiang Chen said: "Then what should we do next, why don't we sneak into his house at night and kill him with a knife?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Don't worry, I want to see what he will do to harm people." Saying that, he and Xiang Chen left Tianxianglou and continued to follow He Shun.
After He Shun returned home, he immediately summoned the chief manager, and he said to the chief pipe: "You quickly send someone to invite the head of Yan Zhu, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”
Pipe: "Yes, sir." As he spoke, he arranged for his subordinates to lift the sedan chair and invite the head of the yamen to arrest him.
After nightfall, Yan Zhutou came to He Shun's mansion in a sedan chair, and He Shun led him to the secret room to discuss.
Yan Zhutou said: "What is the important matter for the big officials to call me to come to the house late at night?"
He Shun said: "There is indeed an important matter that needs to be helped. ”
Yan Zhutou said: "The big officials have something to say, and they will do their best to help those who can do it." ”
He Shun said with a smile: "Yan Zhutou is really bold, if this matter is successful, there will be many benefits of Yan Zhutou." Saying that, Zhao Peng and Qian Biao entrusted him with the matter, Yan Zhutou thought for a moment and said: "This matter is easy to do, Zhang Rong's kid doesn't know the current affairs, tomorrow I will send my subordinates to arrest him on a trumped-up charge, arrest him and lock him up in prison for a few days, and then I will have my own way to force him to withdraw from the marriage." ”
He Shun was overjoyed and said: "Then this matter will have to worry about the head of the labor." As he spoke, he handed a bag of two hundred taels of silver to Yan Zhutou, who received the benefits and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the big official, this matter is wrapped up in Yan." He got up and took his leave.
At this time, Yi Qingfeng and Xiang Chen bent over and stood on the roof of the secret room like two big cats, Xiang Chen said: "These two people are so vicious, I am afraid that staying in the world will only harm more innocent people, and they must be eradicated." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "You're right, that head catcher should already be on his way home, you go and solve him, this He Daguan will be handed over to me." ”
Xiang Chen said: "Okay." As he spoke, he unfolded his body and flew towards the sedan chair that Yan Zhutou was riding, while Yi Qingfeng turned over and flew off the roof silently, searching for He Shun's figure.
At this time, He Shunzheng walked towards the bedroom happily, and said secretly in his heart: "There is a strict arrest of the head, this matter will be settled, and I have earned a few hundred taels of silver without much effort, which is really fast." ”
Just when he was secretly happy, suddenly a figure flashed in front of him like a ghost, and then a strong big hand covered his mouth, and before he could figure out what was going on, he only felt that someone was slapped on the back, and then he died.
Yi Qingfeng snorted coldly: "Dog, look at how you will harm people in the future." As he spoke, he picked up his body and threw it into the nearby grass.
It is said that Xiang Chenwei followed the sedan chair of Yan Zhutou to a deserted alley, and he flew to the front of the sedan chair and stood with his hands in his hands and said: "Yan Zhutou, come out and die." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the four people carrying the sedan chair threw down the sedan chair and fled, Yan Zhutou was taken aback, and hurriedly walked out of the sedan chair and said: "Who is coming, what kind of enmity does Yan have with you?"
Xiang Chen sneered: "As a public servant, but you are doing harmful things behind your back, don't think about living today." ”
Yan Zhutou shouted angrily: "Boy, you are looking for death!" As he spoke, he pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Xiang Chen fiercely, Xiang Chen sneered: "Go and die." Saying that, his body rose to the sky, and then his right leg swept out a sharp cold light to meet it, and after a bang, Yan Zhu's head spat blood and fell to the ground and died, Xiang Chen flew away without looking at it like killing an ant.
Xiang Chen hurriedly returned to the inn, Yi Qingfeng, Mu Qianqian and others had been waiting for a long time, Yi Qingfeng said, "How is the matter?"
Xiang Chen said: "Such a trivial matter, it's easy to get caught, how are you doing over there?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Easy to solve." ”
Mu Qianqian said: "What did you two do in the middle of the night on this day, and you will say something incomprehensible." ”
Yi Qingfeng said with a smile: "It's just a matter of solving the two damn wicked people, it's not too early, let's talk about the specific situation tomorrow, everyone go to sleep." So saying, everyone dispersed to rest.
