At sunset, a remnant sun shone on the fence courtyard, and the two black thatched houses were also illuminated red by the remnant sun of the west. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the air, there is occasionally a breeze blowing, and the old locust tree at the gate of the direct blowing "rustle" sounds non-stop.

The thatched house, because of Ling Yun's words, the atmosphere on the field instantly condensed.

Zhang Yuanwai watched Long Tianyang, who was smiling evilly, gradually approaching him, took a few steps back in a little panic, and said to the four followers behind him: "Hurry up...... Stop him! ”

A few things that don't know life and death, they really don't know what to fear, as Zhang Yuanwai's words fell, they rolled up their sleeves one by one and surrounded Long Tianyang.

What kind of person is Long Tianyang, that is a dignified martial artist, how can he care about these dogs.

Stretching out his arms, kicking his legs, and tightening the big belt around his waist, Long Tianyang stepped forward with a smile, raised his big hand, and covered his ears with thunder, "Woo"!

"Smack"

The first dog leg to step forward was slapped in the face by Long Tianyang, and without even saying a word, he was knocked to the ground and passed out.

The three who were about to step forward, seeing that they were just slapping them, they knocked one of their companions to the ground, not only did they not dare to step forward, but their legs and stomachs began to tremble.

Long Tianyang doesn't care about this, as he has been practicing martial arts for many years, he can be admitted to the martial arts, he deeply understands a truth, that is, he will not give in on the spot, and he will not show mercy when he raises his hand.

Without any thought, he kicked the nearest dog leg to the ground again.

Long Tianyang stretched out his hands and bent down to grab the waistband of the trousers of the two who fell to the ground and passed out, like carrying chickens, he lifted the two up very easily, and threw them out of the house casually.

This time it was good, the two doglegs not only did not protect the master, but turned around and ran away, hiding directly behind Zhang Yuanwai.

Looking at Long Tianyang's strong force, Zhang Yuanwai trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Don't come here! I...... My uncle is the county magistrate ......"

At this time, Ling Yun stepped forward with a smile on his face, walked to Zhang Yuanwai's side and said, "Hehe! I forgot to tell you, Brother Luo is now a six-rank civil official in the Yamen under the command of the Son of Heaven's personal guards, and your bullshit uncle is only a seven-rank county at best, and no matter how much you dare to be a big-tailed wolf here, you can't be careful of your uncle's county order. ”

After speaking, Ling Yun threw a certain amount of silver to Zhang Yuanwai and said: "Hurry up and get out of the house, except for the bran money for Brother Luo, the rest will be used with your two dogs who are not long-eyed to make soup and medicine, if you dare to entangle in the future, be careful that the master wants your life!" ”

Seeing that Ling Yun was so strong, Zhang Yuanwai didn't dare to make any stay, turned around and slapped the two dogs on the head and said, "Don't hurry up and get out, useless things, why did you raise a bunch of waste." ”

Seeing Zhang Yuanwai slip away with a few dogs with his tail between his legs, Long Tianyang looked at Ling Yun with some puzzlement: "It seems that this kind of bullying and good people can be killed directly, why do you want to let them go?" ”

Ling Yun shook his head, sighed slightly, and said: "For the rich and unkind, the entire Ming Dynasty does not know how many mortals, although Zhang Yuanwai is a bit harsh, but he is not a heinous person. Besides, if he hadn't borrowed grain, the Zhang family wouldn't know what would have happened now? ”

Long Tianyang nodded thoughtfully and said, "What the adults said is very true. ”

And Mrs. Zhang, who was on the side, quietly looked at her husband, her eyes were full of incredulity, tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks, and she stammered for a long time before asking, "Lang...... Pimp...... Whining...... Are you an official? ”

Zhang Gui didn't explain too much, just nodded at his wife and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the adult, I am now working under the adult." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Gui suddenly remembered the purpose of Ling Yun's visit to Dengzhou, and said to his wife: "That's right, lady!" Isn't your mother's home in Laizhouwei? My lord, this time I came to Dengzhou, I want to select the elite from the various military households, and form the Flying Eagle Guard, the Son of Heaven's pro-army, I wonder if there are strong people in the Laizhou Guard? ”

Zhang Niangzi looked at her husband, then turned around, looked at Ling Yunxin carefully, and said: "Seeing that this person is young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, I can't imagine that he is already a member of the court, it is really unseemly." ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Niangzi took two steps forward and came to Ling Yun and said again: "The folk girl has seen the adult!" Blessed adults. ”

In ancient times, men and women were not kissed, and with the crossing has been almost a year, Ling Yun is gradually familiar with the etiquette between men and women.

Therefore, Ling Yun did not directly support Zhang Niangzi, but raised his hand and said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so restrained, if you are free, sister-in-law might as well take us to Laizhou Wei, the emperor has issued a decree, but all the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Guard, each person's monthly salary is one or two or five dollars of silver, and the big white rice tube is full to eat, not to mention, if you participate in the Flying Eagle Guard, it is no longer a hereditary military household, but an authentic recruit......

Before Ling Yun's words fell, Zhang Niangzi asked a little incredulously, "Is what the adults said true?" Can the status of a hereditary military household really be abolished? The big white rice is full, and there is still one or two or five dollars of silver every month? ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "Of course it's true, with the emperor's holy decree as the basis, can this still be fake?" ”

After listening to Ling Yun's words, Zhang Niangzi cried with joy: "The people's daughter will take the adult to Laizhou Wei." ”

In fact, it is not that Zhang Niangzi cares much about the identity of the Son of Heaven's pro-army Flying Eagle Guard, but that Zhang Niangzi heard that the identity of the military household can be canceled, and there is one or two or five dollars of silver every month, which has become what Zhang Niangzi cares about.

The military households of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the hereditary system, the people in peacetime, and the army when there was war, but with the passage of hundreds of years, the guard system has begun to erode, and with the year after year, the fields cultivated by the military households have become the private property of the top boss, and the military households have also become the slaves of officials at all levels.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the identity of military households was already extremely low, and even ordinary people would not marry their daughters to military households.

Zhang Niangzi was born in a military family, and she was able to marry Zhang Gui, who was famous and famous, and almost envied Laizhou Wei's eldest girl and little daughter-in-law to death.

The reason why Zhang Niangzi was able to marry Zhang Gui was mainly because when Zhang Gui was young, Zhang Gui's father went to sea to fish and was overturned by the waves.

In order to thank Zhang Niangzi's family for saving their lives, Zhang Gui's father made the decision and set up a baby kiss for Zhang Gui and Zhang Niangzi, and there was the matter of Zhang Niangzi's military household marrying Zhang Guimin's household.

And the recruitment system and various treatments that Ling Yun said were simply unimaginable for Zhang Niangzi.

So some people can't wait to take Lingyun to Laizhouwei, maybe Lingyun will choose a few of his brothers for Zhang Gui's sake.

Seeing that his wife was a little impatient, Zhang Gui stood up and accused his wife: "It's at least twenty miles away from Laizhouwei, can't you let the adults rest for one night and go tomorrow?" ”

How do you know that Zhang Niangzi frowned slightly and said: "Lang Jun, let's just these two broken thatched houses, there are several adults in the party, and they can't live at all, but the slave family's mother's house, because the population is large, you can also vacate a few rooms for adults to live in, so ......"

In fact, for the accommodation problem, Ling Yun has already begun to think about it, the two broken thatched houses in front of him, really want to let them all live, even if the floor shop is a little crowded, not to mention that the floor shop at least has to be a little bedding!

Hearing what Zhang Niangzi said, Ling Yun smiled at Zhang Gui and said: "What my sister-in-law said is very true, Brother Luo doesn't have to care too much, anyway, it's not too tiring, it's better for us to go to Laizhou Wei first." ”

Seeing that Lingyun had already decided to go to Laizhouwei, Zhang Gui couldn't say anything, so he rushed to Laizhouwei with Lingyun.

As a few people who were Ling Yun's entourage, seeing that Ling Yun had already left, they didn't say much, but just held the attitude that Ling Yun would go wherever he went, and went to Laizhou Wei together.

Zhang Gui and his wife, although they have been married for several years, but Zhang Gui went to Beijing three times in a row to catch the exam, so that he wasted nine years, the husband and wife are often not together, and they have no children.

Under the dark night sky, birds chirped, insects chirped, the sea breeze made the leaves rattle, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, and the stars blinked and flashed.

Ling Yun and the others walked for more than half an hour, and when they were about to arrive at Laizhou Wei, they saw bright lights in the distance and shouts.

In the middle of the night, there was a shouting of killing, which made Ling Yun frown and turn to look at everyone.

White Lotus, Long Tianyang, Nangong Yun, and Ling Yun's four entourages are all coming to Shandong for the first time, and they don't understand why there are bursts of shouting and killing? So he shook his head at Ling Yun.

But Zhang Gui and Zhang Niangzi, who were born and raised in Dengzhou Wei, they couldn't be clearer that the shouting and killing sound in front of them must be the salt Ding of the Salt Inspection Division, and the military households who resell illegal salt, otherwise it would be impossible for the thunder to rain a lot. Only shouts can be heard, but no fighting can be heard.

In fact, the salt of the Salt Inspection Division, to put it bluntly, is a group of street hooligans, who are just changing their methods to make oil and water for themselves in the name of the imperial court. Once they scared away the military households who sold illicit salt, Baihuahua's salt became their bag.

Today's salt price is more expensive than rice, the market price, those profiteers sell ordinary salt for about two taels per stone, and the best green salt can be sold for four or five taels, and these military households boil salt bitterly, and one stone is sold for one tael of silver. There is no salt in the hands of the government, so he can only be chased and intercepted as a smuggler of salt.

When you are lucky, you throw salt and run away, and when you are unlucky, you will be beaten to death by the salt of the salt inspection department, or you will be arrested and put into the yamen, waiting for your family to come and hand over enough money to the yamen, and maybe you can save your life and release it.

Seeing Ling Yun's inquiring gaze at him, Zhang Gui and Zhang Niangzi did not hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "My lord, there must be Yanding in front who caught the military household selling illegal salt, let's avoid it for the time being!" lest this black light blind them, they will arrest the adults as smugglers. ”

Ling Yun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, we are both people in the yamen, I believe they won't embarrass us, let's go and take a look." ”

But as soon as Ling Yun's voice fell, Zhang Niangzi began to mumble quietly, although the voice was very small, but for Ling Yun's hearing, it was clear to her.

I only heard Zhang Niangzi muttering in a low voice: "What kind of people in the yamen? It's just a bunch of robbers, what else will they do besides bullying the good people and these down-and-out military households? ”

Just when Ling Yun was a little puzzled when he heard Zhang Niangzi's words, he saw twenty or thirty salt dings, all holding steel knives and iron rulers, with torches in their hands, surrounding Ling Yun and the others in the middle.

I saw a person walk out of the salt ding, raised the steel knife in his hand, and pointed at Ling Yun and the others: "Huh! If you dare to resell illicit salt, let's go to the yamen with us! ”
