Sixi was not only beaten, but also robbed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although Sixi also felt that it was very shameless to confess his embarrassment in front of the three fairy-like girls, the lost horse was also in the village, and he couldn't hide the truth in front of this little master.

Sixi led Jiang Li's master and servant to walk back along the path in the plum forest, telling the ins and outs of the matter along the way.

Today, Sixi rode out early in the morning. He was told by Mabel to go out and collect rent.

Most of the thousands of acres of land in the village were leased to the indigenous villagers in the vicinity, and some were leased to refugees who had fled to Beijing on the border and could not find their relatives.

Dayan and Nanchen, who border the border with the Great Song Dynasty in the north, are at war, and although it does not affect the Great Song Dynasty, some residents on the border are panicked, and they go around to relatives and friends, and all those who can move are moved. These people in Beijing are only a small number, and it is said that more fled in the direction of Qingzhou in the northwest, where the people of Song, Yan and Chen were at the junction of the three kingdoms, and the people were fierce and robbers, and they competed with the government and were on a par with the power. Jiang Li's grandfather was demoted in Qingzhou when he was an envoy, and now his father is serving as a general judge there, so he has heard a little about refugees.

These refugees who came to Beijing were honest. They rented the land, and the family relied on it for food and clothing, so they didn't care about the fields. When the autumn harvest came, the rent paid was prepared early, and some even sent it to Meizhuang in person, never waiting until the end of the year to urge the rent to be collected.

I hate some of the local indigenous villagers, most of them have land, and some of them have a lot of land in their hands, and they can even be regarded as small landlords. They rented land from Meizhuang, some of them really to supplement their families, and some of them for some of their interests. Because the rent of the land leased out by Meizhuang has always been less than the rent of other places, some unscrupulous local aborigines have seen business opportunities from it, and they have rented more land from Meizhuang, and then rented it to others, and the rent has been increased by 20% to make a profit.

Mabel is also open to the twists and turns, because of old age, he still has to rely on the locals for everything. Second, Jiang Li's mother never cared about the amount of income, and he didn't want to do much as a subordinate. Later, as soon as Miss Mei died, Jiang Li was ill for more than half a year, and these indigenous villagers heard the news from nowhere, saying that there was no successor to this Meizhuang, and most of this Meizhuang would return to the Jiang family.

Most of the villagers have paid it on time, and there are two indigenous families surnamed Jiang who have rented three or four hectares of land in Meizhuang, claiming to be the Jiang family's distant family, saying that they will have a share of this Meizhuang if it belongs to the Jiang family. Seeing that Mabel, an old servant from a foreign country, couldn't speak, and he didn't even pay this year's rent.

Mabel was anxious about this, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, Jiang Li was seriously ill and was sent out from the Jiang family from afar, and Mei Bo was also sick in a hurry, so he let his grandson Sixi come to Meizhuang.

At first, Sixi didn't take rent collection seriously. In his opinion, what he has is strength, and the truth is on his side, as long as he comes to the door to ask for it, who dares not to give it.

But as a result, he went a few times, said good things, said bad things, and showed off his martial arts in front of others. One of the heads of the two Jiang families is named Jiang Tianyi and the other is Jiang Tianci, and in the mouths of the villagers, they are all characters who kick the sky and make trouble in the well. As soon as I saw that the four joys were done, the prestige was extinguished, and I didn't say that I wouldn't pay it, but just delayed.

Originally, today was the deadline for the last day, so early in the morning, Sixi rode a horse to find the door.

Jiang Tianyi and Jiang Tianci saw Sixi and only said that the rent was easy to say, but they were just a little bit away from it, and they were about to borrow money from others. Sixi didn't want to change again, so he said to let them get it.

Sixi led the horse, and the two of them enthusiastically led them all the way out of the village.

After passing through the market, Jiang Tianci said that it was not good to come to the door empty-handed, and he wanted to buy one or two snacks as a gift. Jiang Tianyi said with a bitter face that the money on his body was not enough to repay the rent, and he was reluctant to spend it.

The two asked Sixi to borrow it with a bitter face, saying that they would ask someone for money and pay it back after a while. Sixi didn't think much about it, and took out fifty wen to buy a roast chicken and a pot of old wine for the two of them.

The two led Sixi to a dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere, and the dilapidated gate vaguely said Puji Temple.

This Jiang Tianci Jiang Tianyi and the two of them said with a smile, saying that the person they had agreed with was waiting inside, and let Sixi wait outside.

These four joys have a brute force, and their brains are a person with one less tendon, and they have no suspicions at this time. Tie the horse to a ginkgo tree outside the temple and sit on the steps outside the temple and wait.

This is half an hour, and after an hour or two, these two people are gone. Looking at the sun past noon, Sixi and the others were anxious, and I thought that they had fallen for the two of them. The spirit was furious, got up and rushed into the temple.

The door of the temple is half hidden, Sixi rushed in only to see, the Buddha statue in the temple is crooked, more than a dozen wings are distributed on both sides of the upper and lower two halls, and the temple of half an acre is surrounded into a quadrangle. A small door was opened on one side of the main hall, and at a glance I saw that it led to the outside of the temple, the small door was wide open, and the courtyard was quiet, these two people were not running away!

Fourth, Xideng was so angry that he smoked! Just as he was about to scold, he caught a glimpse of a side room opening a crack in the corner of his eye, and some figures were shaking. I thought that these two turtle grandsons were going to hide from themselves.

Sixi was angry, and he yelled: "Two turtle grandsons get out of here!" I've annoyed you Sixi Grandpa today, see if I don't tie you up and send you to the official! ā€

As soon as the words fell, a bearded man jumped out of the wing, tall and strong, with huge eyes and a big mouth, big nostrils facing the sky, and a dark complexion. ā€

Sixi saw that he had a fierce face, and he spoke more aggressively than him, thinking that he was in a gang with Jiang Tianci and the others, or it was the two of them who invited him to repair his accomplices. So he didn't give in even more, and shouted: "The scoundrel and the robber, if you are caught by Lao Tzu, you will be sent to the official, what are you doing?!" ā€

The big man was even angrier than him: "Grandma's! Lao Tzu has not opened in the capital since he came, and he is still recognized as a robber! I am a robber, and when you see me today, I will let you see the power of robbers! ā€

As he spoke, the big man pulled out a plate axe from his waist and slashed at Sixi in front of him.

The door of the wing room was wide open, revealing another young man dressed as a Confucian student, Sixi took out a big knife he brought with him to greet him, and did not look closely at the appearance of the man, only heard him shout at the bearded man: "Old Qixiu is reckless!" Don't hurt people's lives by mistake, this is near the capital! ā€

The big man's board axe danced vigorously, and his tall body was more than half a cut higher than Sixi, and he was extremely ruthless in every move. Sixi can't please in terms of strength, a big knife is even dismantled and sticky, and the big man can't hurt him for a while, but it's already quite difficult.

But the big man obviously didn't use all his strength, and only listened to him reply to the young Confucian while chopping with an axe: "Lao Tzu hates people to call me a robber to his face the most in his life!" He can't be left near the capital! ā€

Sixi listened to his tone as if he was going to kill someone, he hadn't fought with anyone yet, and the knife in his hand was also disadvantageous when he was startled. There was a crackle, and the big man's plate axe shook off the knife in his hand, and the remaining strength smashed on his right shoulder, and half of his body was numb when he landed. The big man saw that the axe in his hand was down again, and Sixi closed his eyes, and his heart was not guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, there was a sound of sleeves fluttering in his ears, and the plate axe in the big man's hand did not fall on his body, but fell to the ground with a clatter. When he opened his eyes, the bearded man stepped back a few steps, but the axe in his hand was gone.

Sixi looked at the young man standing in front of him in a daze, only to see that his face was like Fu powder, his lips were painted with Zhu, and his eyes were shining like the moon. The crown is tied with hair, and the bearing is graceful. Dressed in a moon-white robe and holding a folding fan, it is the most popular Confucian dress today.

Seeing that Sixi was still stunned, the young man shouted: "Don't you leave quickly because you are waiting to be beaten!" This reckless man is crazy, but even I can't pull it. ā€

Sixi hurriedly got up when he heard this, but the collar was grabbed by the bearded man. Then a futon-like bear paw slammed on his face, and the bearded man gasped and snorted: "Old Five, you attacked me again!" If I hadn't been looking, you wouldn't have stopped me! I'm not convinced, let me give this kid ten slaps to relieve his anger! ā€

"Enough! Ten slaps, is he still alive! I think there is some misunderstanding in this, let him go! The young man said with a calm face. Turning his head and asking Sixi: "What did you say just now?" Why did you clamore for us to be sent to the official as soon as you came? ā€

Sixi snorted angrily: "I followed the two turtle grandsons surnamed Jiang all the way here, and I didn't see them just now, thinking that they were hidden in your house, and my words were said by the two turtle grandsons surnamed Jiang." ā€

"You are looking for your turtle grandson, and you will scold us for no reason! With this skill, you still have to tie us up and send us to the official! The bearded man was very disdainful, stretched out his leg and kicked Sixi, and silently threw away his hand. Sixi was so frightened that he picked up the knife, covered his face and rushed out of the temple.

When he got out, the horse tied under the ginkgo tree outside the gate was gone. There were chicken bones thrown under the ginkgo tree, and an empty wine jar. Sixi recognized that it was the wine jar in Jiang Tianci's hand.

Dare to love these two people deliberately brought themselves here today, and gritted their teeth with joy and hatred: these two turtle grandsons deceived themselves of fifty wen and a horse. And this one was beaten for nothing!
