At sunset, on the potholed dirt road, a large group of people slowly walked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the head were four sturdy men dressed in indigo clothes, riding horses, with swords hanging from their waists, all of them full of energy, and they were full of energy and lean from their bones.

Behind the four knights were seven or eight ordinary carriages, and on each simple plank sat thirteen or fourteen men, all dressed in different clothes, but the cloth was the most ordinary burlap, and it was evident that it was not from a wealthy family.

There was a knightly guard on either side and behind the carriage.

There were more than 150 people in the group, but there was no sound except the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of wooden carts.

In particular, the people who were huddled on the wooden planks of the carriage were all bowed and their heads drooped, and some of them had obvious worries and fears on their faces.

The scenery around them became more and more familiar, and the people in the carriage finally couldn't help themselves and began to talk in whispers.

"Uncle Xing, we're about to go to the city, what should we do?"

It was a dark and thin young man who spoke, eighteen or nineteen years old, with ordinary facial features, only a pair of eyes that were dripping and turning, revealing a bit of cleverness.

The 'Uncle Xing' in his mouth is sitting next to him at the moment, a middle-aged man in his early forties. The face is dark, the facial features are thoughtful, the nose and lips are fleshy, and it gives people a feeling of honesty and reliability when they look at it.

In fact, Uncle Xing is indeed the leader of their team, with good craftsmanship, good personality, loyalty, and steadfastness, and the brothers in the team believe in him.

Now that everyone has encountered a dilemma, they naturally want to ask him what he thinks.

Uncle Xing licked his thick lips, glanced at the Xiang Yong guarding on both sides of his eyes out of the corner of his eye, and lowered his voice and said, "What else can I do?" First escort the ignorant stupid lady at home to apologize to Lord Fuzun and Yiren. ”

“…… Yes, yes, what Uncle Xing said is that those women with long hair and short knowledge have caused such a big disaster, and we, as the heads of the family, must go to the government to apologize! ”

A sturdy man in his thirties sitting opposite Uncle Xing nodded repeatedly.

In other words, Qi Jinzhi on the government side was worried that the craftsmen would distrust the government represented by Qi Jinzhi after this incident, and then they would not work. Those craftsmen were also afraid that the women and children of their family would offend the Fuzun couple, and they were worried that they would make the Fuzun lord angry, and even invite the iron-blooded revenge of the Fuzun.

That's right, Uncle Xing and his entourage are craftsmen and workers in the Qi family's salt farm, who were plundered by a group of black-clothed people half a month ago, and were escorted to Shuixi by the private soldiers of the Wumeng Zhan family.

In a salt field in Shuixi, they were forced to restore the Zhuo Tube Well and were forced to work.

At that time, a few carpenters led by Uncle Xing secretly ventilated, in order to save their lives, they could leak a little about the Qi family's salt farm, but the core secret - the true principle of Zhuo Tsutsujing, they gritted their teeth and did not say.

It's not that Uncle Xing is loyal to the Qi family and Qi Jinzhi, it's just that they have seen a lot of the world, their brains are flexible enough, and they are extremely confident in Qi Fuzun's ability.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before Lord Fuzun will send someone to save us!"

Uncle Xing once firmly told all his partners.

Facts have proved that Uncle Xing is indeed not wrong, it has only been ten days of work, and the Liu guards beside Fuzun rushed over with men and horses, controlled the salt field with thunder means, and rescued all the craftsmen of the Qi family.

Uncle Xing and his companions were overjoyed - their lives were saved, they were free, and they were able to go home!

The respect and admiration for Lord Fuzun in everyone's hearts has reached its peak.

However, before they could be happy, they were poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

What? Her own stupid mother-in-law actually mistakenly believed the gangster's pampering and ran to the government to make trouble?

It's just a matter of making trouble, and he actually collided with Gu Yiren, who was pregnant with Liujia? How many lives did you almost kill a pleasant corpse?

Uncle Xing only felt that a scorched thunder exploded on his head, and the whole person was cold from the inside out: Oh no, no, it's a big disaster.

Originally, they were taken captive and almost killed, but Lord Fuzun must be sorry for them, and when they return, they will definitely compensate them heavily.

Now, let that group of stupid women make a fuss, the 'compensation' is gone, and they will be greeted by the raging anger and ruthless revenge of the mansion!

Uncle Xing thought all the way, and finally came up with such a way that was not a way - to ask for sin!

At this moment, Liu Hu came over on horseback.

He still remembered the flying pigeon biography he had just seen, and Qi Jinzhi told him directly in the letter, which made him extremely dispel the fear and worry of the craftsman. Let the craftsmen willingly continue to return to the salt works to work.

Swallowing his saliva, Li Hu went through the information of more than 100 craftsmen in his heart, and picked Uncle Xing, the most authoritative among the craftsmen.

"Lao Xing, we will return to Wumeng in a few miles, and you can also reunite with your family."

Liu Hu coughed lightly, and greeted Uncle Xing as kindly as possible, "What, this time, alas, speaking of which, you have all suffered from unwarranted disasters-"

Uncle Xing is an honest man, but 'honest' is not the same as 'stupid', and he quickly grasped the key point from Liu Hu's words.

I saw him wave his hand again and again, "What is Liu Tou'er talking about?" Although we are vulgar craftsmen, we are not unreasonable people. This time, it is clear that some people are jealous of Lord Fuzun, but they don't dare to go against Lord Fuzun, so they want to secretly do it. ”

"Indeed, we have suffered a little...... The government has always been lenient to the people, and it is even more courteous to treat us craftsmen, not to mention how much respect and gratitude we have in our hearts. Now that I can serve him, to say that I have suffered a little, even if I am willing to suffer no matter how great the sin is. ”

Uncle Xing's words are definitely suspected of being sycophants, but they are not all lies.

They are all natives of Wumeng, and for more than ten years, bandits and Tartars have wreaked havoc in front of the door, and they have long been accustomed to seeing tragic scenes such as looting and burning.

Now that Wumeng can restore stability and stability, and the people no longer have to endure the tempering of war and turmoil, Uncle Xing and most other Wumeng people are grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Uncle Xing is really honored to be able to do things for Qi Fuzun.

As for being affected by Qi Fuzun this time and suffering in vain, Uncle Xing and the others did not get angry and secretly blamed Qi Jinzhi. It was the man in black who kidnapped them, and those people should be blamed if they were to blame, what does it have to do with Qi Fuzun?

In fact, if there was no Qi Fuzun, Wumeng would probably still be in chaos now. Uncle Xing, even if they are not taken away by the men in black, sooner or later they will be captured by mountain bandits and Tartars.

will also lose their freedom and even worry about their lives, but in the former case, Qi Fuzun will come to the rescue, and the latter can only be slaughtered by others alone.

Uncle Xing and they are all straightforward and rugged men, and they will never have such a twisted mind.

Therefore, Uncle Xing said very directly: "For the sake of us craftsmen, Qi Fuzun is not afraid of trouble and specially ordered people to search and rescue ...... Liu Tou'er, to be honest, if the government treats us like this, if we are still messing around like a mother-in-law, wouldn't it be too unconscionable? ”

mentioned 'mother-in-law', Uncle Xing naturally led the topic to his own woman, "Liu Tou'er, there is, there is something, I, I-"

Before he could finish speaking, someone shouted in front of him:

"It's here~"

Liu Hu raised his head, hey, sure enough, he saw the familiar city gate tower, he waved his hand, interrupted Uncle Xing's words, and rushed to the front of the team with the reins.

Uncle Xing was a little annoyed, just one sentence, he was almost able to inquire about the attitude of the mansion.

At this moment, a group of women and children rushed to the gate of the city, and they shouted the name of so-and-so, so-and-so.

Uncle Xing heard the voice of his mother-in-law at the tip of his ear, and hurriedly got up from the carriage and looked around with his hands on the pergola.

Sure enough, I saw a tall and chubby ordinary woman not far away, reunited after a long absence, and had just experienced a catastrophe, although Uncle Xing kept scolding 'stupid mother-in-law', but the moment he saw his wife, he still waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Dog, me, I'm here." ”

Sister-in-law Xing followed the voice, grabbed Uncle Xing's arm, and shouted with tears and laughter: "Dog, father, you are back." Woo, you don't know, the family has been in a hurry these days......"

"......" Uncle Xing quietly wiped away his tears, and immediately thought that this was outside, and there were so many people watching, so he hurriedly tightened his face, and scolded angrily: "Okay, okay, I'm not coming back, why are you crying?" ”

"I don't feel sorry for you yet!"

Sister-in-law Xing pinched her husband hard, but she still obediently held back her tears, looked Uncle Xing up and down, and saw that although he was a little embarrassed, there was no damage, so she talked about the recent situation at home-

"Don't you know, since something happened to you, the family is in chaos...... Fortunately, Lord Fuzun rescued him in time, and he was pleasant and generous and kind—"

"Wait, you say pleasant? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, can you go to the government that day? ”

Uncle Xing dragged his wife to the corner and asked in a low voice.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Sister-in-law Xing's round face, and she whispered, "Go, go." ”

Immediately, he was afraid that Uncle Xing would be angry, so he hurriedly explained: "At first, I didn't want to go, but everyone was clamoring to go, and they said that you had been killed. As soon as I heard this, I was shocked, frightened, angry, and distressed, and an evil fire only attacked my head, so I went to the government office with the crowd.

Uncle Xing's face was full of despair, but when he raised his eyes and saw his wife's concerned and worried expression, he swallowed the reprimand back and gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'm going to go, it's too late to say anything now." You are like this, hurry home and call your father, mother and dog, and let's go to the government together as a family to excuse the house and Yiren! ”

Please?

Sister-in-law Xing seemed to understand her husband's worries, and couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Xing glared angrily, this stupid mother-in-law, how dare she laugh?

Sister-in-law Xing saw that her husband was angry, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and held back a smile, "Oh, don't worry, Yiren didn't blame us." Instead of blaming Yiren, she also deliberately asked people to send things to us. It is said to be a festival of the August Festival, but in fact it is an apology for your fright. ”

Uncle Xing was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Yiren is not only annoyed, but also gave us a gift of worship?" the dog, really, really a pleasant one? ”

Sister-in-law Xing puffed up her chest, "Of course it's true." It was not someone else who came forward to give the gift, it was the pleasant milk brother Feng Quan Feng Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng also said, Yiren sympathizes with your hard work and innocent suffering, and specially rewards us artisans with a pound of half-price salt every month. ”

Uncle Xing's eyes widened.

"That's right, you heard it right, it's half price, haha, we also have a privilege, we can actually buy half price salt every month, although it's only one catty, but it's also a rare decent."

Sister-in-law Xing said with her eyebrows dancing, their family is a generational artisan household, belonging to a lowly family, and is the lowest level of society. Slow to talk about privileges, that is, ordinary people look at them in a strange light.

Now, with Gu Yiren's order, these craftsmen who work in the salt works have also become prosperous.

A pound of half-price salt, not only to get the benefits, but also to save face, is really good.

When Sister-in-law Xing heard about this, she couldn't wait to drive her husband back to the salt farm and let him hurry to work.

Because Uncle Feng also said that the better the craftsmen of the salt factory behave, the higher the 'welfare' in the future. Now it's a pound of half-price salt, and in the future, maybe it's a pound of free salt.

"Dog and his father, Fuzun and Yiren treat us so well, we can't have no conscience. You come back for a day, and Ming'er will follow back to the salt farm. ”

Sister-in-law Xing took her husband's arm and whispered.

Uncle Xing nodded vigorously, "Return, return, I must go back." "Yiren didn't blame them, that's good, that's good!

But soon, Uncle Xing calmed down and grabbed his wife's arm with his backhand, "However, we still have to go to the government office to excuse Yiren." ”

Yiren doesn't care about them, they are generous and benevolent, but they can't help but talk about their conscience.

Sister-in-law Xing was stunned, and after a long time, Fang nodded slowly, "Dog's father, what you said is, I, I'll go back and call someone." ”

Sister-in-law Xing strode home, and Uncle Xing was in charge of persuading all the partners.

Half an hour later, three or four hundred people gathered in Houya Street, including old and young, men and women, none of them made a noise, silently came to the back door of Houya, knelt down, kowtowed, and kowtowed again.

Qi Jinzhi, who had already received the news, hurried over, stood on the steps of the back door, and watched this scene silently.

"Fuzun, pleasant, we, we were wrong...... We have come to ask for our sins, and we hope that the Fuzun and Yiren will forgive us and others! ”

Uncle Xing led a group of craftsmen to sincerely apologize and admit their guilt.

Qi Jinzhi pursed his lips, raised his hand gently, and said, "It's all over, you all get up." ”

Uncle Xing kowtowed heavily again, and then silently withdrew from Houya Street.

Seeing a group of people leave, Qi Jin went to the study alone and sat in front of a small coffin, silently holding back tears.

At the same time, in Chu Pei's room in the East Cross Courtyard, the little maid who finally heard the news was biting Chu Pei's ear -

"Is there such a thing? You—You heard you right?! ”
