was invited to eat peaches, when the thief was caught, it was difficult to argue, it was difficult to speak, and he was confused and moved his fists and feet.

Fifty taels of silver is equivalent to Tian Demei's salary for more than two years, not to mention that if she can't do it, she will be fined, of course Tian Demei cares. He attached great importance to the War of Resistance against Liao, just as officials of the imperial court did about it, and carefully formulated a detailed plan of action. The time of departure, when to arrive, where to arrive first, and what to do are all planned, and even the important details of each step of the action, the key words to be said, are recorded in case they are forgotten.

His uncle's house is near Qianshan Town, and he often comes and goes, and the route is very familiar, so he is not at ease, so he went to Qianshan Town to inspect the walking route, and contacted the customer who bought oil at a low price; and through his cousin's introduction, he got in touch with the shopkeeper Wang of the inn in Qianshan Town, so as to cooperate with the stirring up and create friction when the time comes.

On the 15th of September, as soon as the rooster crowed, Tian Demei got up, went to the workshop to wake up Zheng En, and said: "Today, I will send oil to Qianshan Town, the road is far, let's go early!"

Zheng En got up and thanked him while getting dressed: "Thank you, Mr. Tian, for calling me!

Tian Demei said: "This is a new customer, and the price is a bit verbose. The old shopkeeper told me to come with you and discuss it with them again!"

Zheng En was most annoyed by the price, and when he heard that Tian Demei was going with him, he was so happy that he hurriedly got dressed, washed his face, ate something indiscriminately, packed up his oil and picked up the road.

Qianshan Town is more than 40 miles away from Lujiadian, and most of them are rugged mountain roads. Even though it's late autumn, it's still a bit hot. Zheng En and Tian Demei got up early in the morning, carrying two pot-bellied oil baskets, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and I don't know how far they went.

He was hungry and thirsty, thinking of finding a place to rest and eat something, Tian Demei first cried out: "Alas, I'm tired to death! I'm thirsty and tired, this mountain climbing is really not a human job! Alas, Xiao Zheng, let you follow me on this business trip, the foot is long, and the road is not good." Seeing you suffer and suffering, I really don't want to go! It's a pity that I can't take care of it for you! I work for the boss, and I don't want to give you more than one child when I'm tired to death! Let's rest!"

Zheng En saw Tian Demei sitting on the ground, so he put down the oil pick.

"Well, why are there peaches at this time? Look, such a big peach orchard, there are so many peaches, like little fists, red and white!" Tian Demei exclaimed as if she had suddenly discovered a peach orchard not far away.

Zheng En turned his head to look, swallowed his saliva, put the flat shoulder on the two oil baskets as benches, and sat down to wipe his face with sweat.

"At this time, peaches are rare, they must be crisp, fragrant and sweet! Alas, my saliva is flowing out when I look at it!" Tian Demei kept her eyes on the peach orchard and praised it repeatedly.

"No matter how rare it is, it's still a peach, and it can't be used as wine and meat to satisfy your hunger!" Zheng Eun said with a smile.

"But when I am thirsty, when I am hungry, the more I look at this peach, the thirstier I become, the more I look at this peach, the hungrier I become!" Tian Demei said, rubbing her waist and standing up.

Because she entered Taoyuan by mistake, Du Ergong's wife who was in charge of Taoyuan didn't know how many people were injured in the cactus, and Tian Demei heard his cousin say it very clearly.

Here, let Zheng En create friction with the cactus ball first, it is better to make a big fuss, and if it is not too much, it will also lay the foundation for entanglement with Du Ergong first, which is an entry in his "borrowing a knife to kill" action plan.

Seeing Tian Demei standing up, Zheng En thought that he was uncomfortable sitting on the ground, so he moved to the end of the flat pole to make room for him, and said, "Mr. Tian, you can also sit on this flat shoulder!

Tian Demei said: "I don't sit, I sit comfortably, I am thirstier and hungrier! Let's go up and see if there are any people in the peach orchard, if there are any, I will buy a few, I am thirsty and hungry, and I can't walk a step! Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"

Zheng En didn't know that he had already walked to Qianshan Town, and he was also thirsty and hungry, and he wanted to eat something, so he followed.

Tian Demei walked into the garden, stood in front of a tree and looked up, and shouted: "It's white and big, just red tip, it must be fragrant, sweet and crisp-" said in his mouth, he had already reached out and picked one and stuffed it into Zheng En's hand: "You taste it, it's not sweet!"

Zheng En subconsciously took the peach in his hand and exclaimed, "Oh, why did you pick other people's peaches?"

He was busy looking for people, but there was no one.

Tian Demei picked another one, wiped it on the placket, and comforted Zheng En while gnawing and said: "I've already picked it, what are you doing if you don't eat it?" Growing peaches is for sale, so many peaches, who can keep them as fruits? The master is here, just give him a few more money. He will give as much as he wants, and I will pay for it!"

Zheng Eun hates eating and drinking the most, eating with friends, as long as he has money in his pocket, he always rushes to pay. Tian Demei said so, Zheng En was suspected of spending money if he didn't eat it again, so he brought the peach in his hand to his mouth and took a bite.

Tian Demei saw that Zheng En had eaten it, so she picked another one, handed it to Zheng En, and said, "I have already eaten one, so let's just eat another one!" Even if it is more expensive than ordinary peaches, it is not much more expensive, what are you afraid of?"

If you don't eat it, you're afraid of it, Zheng En didn't want to be a stingy bag, so he had to take it in his hand again, wipe it on the placket, and eat it in three or two bites.

When Tian Demei saw Zheng En's set, she jumped up and down, picked three or four big red ones, stuffed them into Zheng En's arms, and said, "If you want to eat, let's eat to your heart's content!

As soon as Zheng En caught it and held it in his arms, someone shouted: "Where did the dog thief come from, dare to steal peaches here?"

When Zheng En heard the shouting, he turned around and saw an ugly woman with a face full of meat, a thick waist and a fat waist, fluffy temples, wearing a big red Luo shirt and a pleated green skirt, carrying two iron mallets and two rings, rolling towards him like a big ball of meat.

At this moment, Tian Demei had already thrown away the peaches in her hand and quietly slipped out of the peach orchard, but Zheng En stood still and held four peaches in his arms.

It turned out that Tian Demei and Zheng En entered the hospital, and the girl guarding the garden had already seen it, and the girl saw that it was two people, and Zheng En was tall and stout, so she didn't dare to make a noise, so she ran out of the hospital and reported to this ugly woman.

The husband of this ugly woman is the younger brother of Mrs. Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace in Bianjing City, and the maternal uncle of Zhao Kuangyin, the later Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin originally had two uncles, the eldest uncle died in office a few years earlier, and only the second uncle remained, named Du Ergong.

Du Ergong relied on his brother-in-law's official backing, and he was proficient in martial arts, specializing in doing evil things. Just because he owed a debt for his life because he fought with someone in Luoyang, he avoided the limelight and came here with his own family.

He was honest in the first year, but in the second year, when he saw that the government did not move much, he relapsed into the old disease, befriended a group of strong gangsters on Taihang Mountain, and started to bully the weak and extort the weak to make a living.

This Zhao Kuangyin's aunt was born with a short body and a thick waist, and she looked like a big water tank. She is infinitely powerful, superb in martial arts, like fire, full of thorns, usually bumps with people, and even just someone inadvertently spits out a "rough", "fat", "winter melon" and other words that she taboos, and will also jump like thunder, swinging her fists and copying guys. So people gave her the nickname "Cactus". It means that no one dares to touch it, and if you touch it, you will be pricked.

The cactus was sitting in the room, listening to the girl's report that "someone has entered the peach orchard", and immediately became angry, lifted two pig iron rods and hammers, opened the ruler and grew his feet, and ran to the garden, which was also a coincidence, and saw Zheng En holding many peaches in his arms.

Zheng En turned around, but he didn't see Tian Demei, so he could only socialize by himself.

He smiled and said to the cactus: "Sister, I didn't steal peaches!"

"People are all stolen, and you still want to deny it?" said Cactus as he searched around with a pair of walnut eyes: "What about the dog thief?"

Zheng En saw that it was difficult to get rid of the suspicion of stealing peaches, so he had to protect Tian Demei and take the responsibility on himself: "Eldest sister, don't talk so ugly, he is a talent!"

"Xiucai steals things, it's even more shameless, it's even more damned! Where are you hiding?

"I passed by here and saw that this peach was growing well, so I came to take a look. I couldn't help but pick two because of hunger and thirst, and he said that he shouldn't pick the peaches first without negotiating a good price, and reprimanded me and left. ”

"Well, you, the dog thief, will bear it alone!"

"Okay. Sister, how much do you have to pay, can you tell me the price?

The cactus ball raised his thick eyebrows, his strange eyes widened, he sneered, and shouted: "Thief prisoner! The old lady is not short of silver, who is rare of your copper pieces! This peach was originally a tribute from the former dynasty, and the emperor could only eat it, but now although it is no longer a tribute, the old lady keeps it for her own consumption. What kind of ball are you, do you dare to pick it privately? If you come to pick it privately, you lose money if you catch it, and you can't catch it and pull it down, my snow peach will be gone for a long time!"

Zheng En asked embarrassedly, "I've already eaten two and picked four more, what should I do?"

The cactus said, "If you pick a peach with your left hand, you will chop your left hand, and if you pick a peach with your right hand, you will chop your right hand, and if you eat one, you will knock on one front tooth, and if you eat two, you will knock on two front teeth."

Zheng En saw that the cactus ball was not the master of reason, so he no longer begged softly, and stubbornly contradicted: "I picked five with my left hand, five with my right hand, and ate seventy or eighty, how to punish me?"

The cactus stared and said, "Chop your hands and feet, knock your mouth full of yellow teeth!" said and picked up the mallet and hit Zheng En's face.

Zheng En dodged sideways and replied: "Eldest sister, although I am not, I have already admitted my mistake and let you be fined, but you have to chop your hands and knock your teeth, is it too much?"

The cactus said angrily: "You stole the old lady's snow peach, violated the old lady's rules, knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, let me chop my hands and knock my teeth, and tie you up in front of the garden for three days, but you can only be left with a cripple who can walk and can't work, can drink porridge and can't eat meat, otherwise, you will send your life!"

It is indeed wrong to pick peaches privately and eat them, but in the eyes of rural people, it is not a heinous crime. Ordinary people only miss a few words after finding out, and they even laugh at it, and at most they are scolded and punished. Now that the cactus ball is going to kill no matter what she says, Zheng En certainly thinks that she is a little too arrogant, and her temper is rare in the world, which is ridiculous.

Zheng En is clumsy and not good at argumentation, but he also remembers some popular folk slang and sayings. He searched his intestines and scraped his stomach while dodging, and found words to persuade him: "Eldest sister, the width of the house and the width of the building are not as wide as the heart, and the good is not as good as the heart." The heart can support the boat, and the health and longevity will be more than 100 years. To live well, don't be small-minded, and live well, don't be narrow-minded. Lost his temper for trivial things, and there was no one to replace him when he got angry. A few peaches, the matter is small, and you can't enjoy any blessings when you are angry, and the whole peach orchard belongs to the husband, and the husband also looks for the concubine——"

Zheng En hid and persuaded, and the cactus ball was beaten, Zheng En couldn't help but taunt: "Eldest sister, it's not your fault that you're fat, but it's not right for you to be unreasonable with your flesh!"

The most taboo person in the cactus ball said that she was fat, that her martial arts were not good, Zheng En made two mistakes in one sentence, and the cactus ball was more angry and chased more fiercely.

Zheng En saw that the cactus oil and salt did not enter, he did not give up, and he was a little angry, and while jumping and dodging, he taunted her more: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, you look good, like a water tank wearing a red jacket; eldest sister, you jump high, like a lantern hanging on a tree; you wear green like a big watermelon, and you wear white like a big meat bun." It's sparse, and there are few in the world, why don't you have a good temper?"

The cactus ball was so angry that he screamed "wow", and his moves became more fierce and ruthless.

Zheng En hid around the tree, and the cactus ball spun in a circle, until the trunk was skinless, and the branches and leaves fell.

Zheng En became angry and shouted, "If you don't give up, don't blame me for fighting back!"

The cactus shouted: "Don't fucking pretend! If you have claws, you can stretch out and let the old lady chop it, don't twitch the turtle's head and just run!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zheng En had jumped behind a tree and raised his leg at the tree pole. There was a loud "click", and the peach tree with a thick mouth of the small pot folded in response. There was a canopy the size of a roof, and with a whistle, it shone down to the cactus.
