Chapter 78
The official surnamed Song with a mustache is not very good-looking, but he is also upright, but the light that came out of his eyes made his face look a little out of place. He is not the leader of these errands, but he is a person who dares to cause trouble and can get money, and usually everyone below flatters Song Bantou.
There are a lot of merchant ships coming and going in Mizhou, and because Mizhou is close to the sea and the river, most merchants have to dock here for water business. Most of the official ships docked at the wharf on the south side, and most of the ships on the east side were merchant ships or passenger ships. Song Bantou usually does not fish here for oil and water, although those merchants are said to be rich, but they are the lowest level of Shinong industry and commerce, plus these errand servants are usually used to being powerful and lucky, and most of the merchants are also pregnant with the meaning of breaking wealth and avoiding disasters. But they never thought that it had fueled this unhealthy trend, making them more and more arrogant and unsightly.
Song Bantou looked at the ship coldly, looking no different from ordinary merchant ships, the boatman who scooped it down to negotiate with him looked like a fisherman, and the other looked a little different, but it was probably a guard, and he didn't dare to offend the government.
Since Mizhou became Li Qianyu's fiefdom, with the addition of the Deng family, there are usually several times more outsiders. Li Qianyu's ship was originally a merchant ship, no matter how splendid it was inside, it looked like an ordinary ship on the outside, no different, so Song Bantou just looked at it twice and stopped studying it.
"How many people are on board?" Song Bantou asked slowly with a whistle stick.
"Six." The man who drove the boat said.
Song Bantou beckoned back, and an errand ran over, but heard Song Bantou ask, "Six people, how many?" ”
The officer's eyes rolled: "Three taels per person, a total of eighteen taels." ”
Song Bantou snorted, turned his head to the man who drove the boat, and said: "Eighteen taels of silver, after paying the money, we will naturally let your ship dock, otherwise, you will go back and forth." ”
The man driving the boat seemed to be a little at a loss, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo did lower his eyes and didn't say a word, standing aside with his sword in his arms, quite a bit of a worldly master, that look is obviously too lazy to get involved in mundane things.
Song Bantou saw that they didn't speak, and he was a little impatient: "Pay the money with one hand and release it with the other, grandpa, I have been in this business for many years, and I will see you for the first time." If you don't want to go to the shore, grandpa, I don't bother to take care of you. ”
"Well, we don't have that much silver......"
"Then fuck off."
Song Bantou's words were merciless, and his appearance was really annoying. Although Lan Ruo has always served Li Qianyu, he is also behind the gate, and the bearing of the family is not lacking, but it is inevitable that there will be some anger at this time. The son of the family may be gentle and elegant, but they are all very arrogant, and it is strange that they can endure being scolded by people pointing their noses like this.
Lan Ruo raised her eyelids slightly, and then slowly spit out four words: "Dog fights human power." ”
"What did you say?!" Song Bantou is used to being powerful, and when he heard this kind of words, he became angry, "What a thing that doesn't know what to do." Come! Put the board on me! I suspect that there are private goods on top, come, let my brother check it! ”
Lan Ruo snorted coldly, turned around and flew onto the boat, the man who drove the boat looked loyal and honest, scratched his head, but it was also a dry land plucking onions and jumping up.
This hand is not terrifying, Song Bantou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the boat.
One scholar is dressed up, two little guys are dressed up, how weak you look at it, you can't help it.
Song Bantou came to the courage when he landed, this is Guizhou, he is the head snake of Guizhou, he has not been afraid of anyone, he can't be cowardly at this time, so he shouted: "Dare to play tricks with grandpa!" I'm afraid it's a Japanese ship! Let's see how Grandpa cleans you up today! ”
Annu was a little worried, and subconsciously stood in front of Mu Qing, but Mu Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm and pulled him behind him.
"Young master......" Yu Peng wanted to say something, but saw Mu Qing glance at him lightly, Yu Peng was the first time he saw Mu Qing, who had always been gentle and elegant, showing such a cold gaze, so he couldn't say anything and took a step back.
The board was quickly put on, and Song Bantou ran up with a few errand officers to climb and board, Lan Ruo occupied the hatch of the ship, and the man who drove the boat stood at the rudder with a smile. Mu Qing is not a person who likes to provoke right and wrong, but he is not a soft Shuzi who everyone scoops, he can bully others, but others can't bully him, although such a domineering character has been covered by an elegant appearance, but at this moment there are traces of it.
Although Mu Qing was wearing a Confucian shirt and looked not strong, he was one head taller than the head of the Song class, and he had a little more momentum when he stood there like this.
"What have you come up to do? We're a private boat, and you're going to have to tell me when you come up yourself. Without waiting for Song Bantou to speak, Mu Qing took the first step to speak, his voice was faint, his hands behind his back, he was dressed in a green shirt, and he had a light attitude towards the wind and clouds.
Song Bantou didn't care which set it was, regardless of your attitude or not, he directly sneered twice, and said: "Boy, I'll give you another chance and pay the silver, otherwise you won't blame me for being unreasonable." ”
Mu Qing blinked, looking a little hesitant: "We are just passing by, and we won't stay for a long time, you forcibly collect the money like this, aren't you afraid that we will sue the yamen?" ”
"Don't talk about the yamen, even if you sue the palace, grandpa, I'm not afraid!"
These words were so arrogant that Mu Qing looked at him like a dead man. So you still have to think about it when you speak, don't you hear the master in the cabin immediately drop a cup when he hears this?
Li Qianyu didn't come out, so Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "How much silver does the poor master want?" ”
Seeing Mu Qing's gentle expression, Song Bantou thought that he was soft, and his chin was raised: "One hundred taels." ”
When the man on the boat heard this, he blinked: "You just said that it was eighteen taels ......."
"Naturally, the price will increase for such a long time, and you will not let others in, so I will have much less business." Song Bantou glared at him.
Mu Qing touched his nose and said that this person really regarded this matter as a business. He touched it in his arms and walked over slowly, Song Bantou thought he was going to take out the silver, but he didn't know that Mu Qing directly kicked it up, directly kicked Song Bantou in the stomach, and directly kicked the person to his back. Then he stepped on Song Bantou's heart fiercely, only to step on him so much that he couldn't lift it up and almost fainted, and wanted to struggle, but saw Mu Qing take out a dagger from his arms that was used for cutting paper, and he scooped it in his hand and shook it.
Song Bantou didn't dare to move, for fear that the knife would accidentally fall and poke a hole in his head, and several other servants who were still smiling just now seemed to be startled by this change and stopped moving for a while.
"The master is amazing." Annu smiled, not feeling anything wrong.
However, Yu Peng, who was standing on the side, was still worried: "If they call the rest of the government to arrest us......
"Then throw them all into the river to feed the fish."
Yu Peng trembled, but he didn't dare to look at Annu's smiling face anymore.
Yu Peng also knew about Hou San's affairs at the beginning, Mu Qing actually made a name for himself in the government at that time, but it was not a good reputation. Those officers privately called him "Evil Star", and it was also because of this incident that Dong Feng knew his name, and more than once he said that he was "interesting" in front of Yu Peng.
But it's better to be famous than to meet, and now that I really see it, I believe that the rumors of those errand servants are not exaggerated at all, and his new young master is really a master who dares to fight and kill, and he will do it when he says it, without the slightest hesitation, and the decency of half a scholar is gone.
However, in the past few days, Annu's temper Yu Peng has also eaten a little bit, this person is good-looking, good-hearted, and he is full of kindness in dealing with people, but he does things very neatly, and he also likes him very much when he looks at Mu Qing. It's just that I didn't expect such a kind-hearted Annu's mind to be so simple and rude, Yu Peng said that he was frightened by this reversed world.
Yu Peng kept ringing here, but Mu Qing didn't pause at all, and when he saw that Song Bantou was born, he had a smile again: "Song Bantou, you scared the students." ”
Song Bantou stared angrily, and said in his heart that your kid got cheap and behaved, so he told me about his grievances, but he had to bow his head under the soles of others' feet, Song Bantou gritted his back molars and said: "You let me up, I ...... Forgive somebody's past misdeeds. ”
"Yo, the poor master can also use idioms." Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and then lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his face was embarrassed, "This poor master, the student is from Guizhou, and he is lucky to understand Yuan, and now he is also considered to be famous, do you think we can make a discount?" ”
Although Song Bantou was arrogant, he also knew that the reader could not be offended. Scholars who have made a name for themselves are going to the capital, who has nothing to do to take a long detour to Mizhou? Listening to Mu Qing's words, Song Bantou's heart sank, but he didn't believe it in an instant. But he didn't say that he didn't believe it, because the dagger was hanging above his head, and he didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of shocking: "Yes, how much do you say?" ”
Mu Qing had some grievances on his face, and seemed to be very reluctant, and then slowly stretched out three fingers.
Song Bantou hurriedly said: "Thirty is thirty, you let me go first." ”
Who knows, Mu Qing shook his head.
Song Bantou was stunned: "Three or two? ”
Mu Qing still shook his head.
Song Bantou gritted his teeth: "Sanwen money, it's okay." ”
Mu Qing still shook his head and said with a smile: "Three thousand taels." ”
Song Bantou was shocked, and the people around him were also frightened, looking at Mu Qing's eyes like looking at a fool. Mu Qing was suddenly unconscious, and said with a smile: "It's not a lot of money, it's just a heart, I don't know if the poor master agrees?" ”
If it's three taels, even if it's three texts, Song Bantou can understand it, but at this moment, three thousand taels and one exit will smash him full of Venus, and even the dagger can't be seen. I am happy in my heart, I am afraid that I will really meet a fool today, where will there be anyone who does not agree: "Okay, for the sake of your good attitude, I ......"
"It's ridiculous!" Suddenly, Mu Qing opened his throat and shouted, startling people again. There were a lot of people on the dock, and the battles just now were not unseen, but they were not real, but now it was Mu Qing who shouted with all his strength, which made many people's eyes converge.
Mu Qing still didn't raise his feet, but his face turned red with anger: "It's true that I'm a foreigner, but you can't lie to me, it's just that the next boat will cost three thousand taels, do you know that those who cheat people out of money of more than three thousand taels will have to raid their homes and send them to the army!" Although I am only a weak scholar, but I am a reader of sages, I naturally know the words of Confucius and Mencius. I am a dignified Xie Yuan, you are a martial artist who humiliates me, is it unbearable! ”
It seemed to cooperate with Mu Qing's momentum, Lan Ruofei got up, directly knocked those errand officers off the boat one by one with his scabbard, and threw them directly into the river, and in an instant, only Song Bantou was left on the boat.
This string of words smashed Song Ban's head all over the face, and his brain couldn't turn around. This person was happy to talk to himself, but Song Bantou didn't understand most of them.
But there was one sentence he understood.
Defrauding people of money, three thousand taels, raiding homes and distributing to the army.
One sentence made the corners of Song Ban's forehead break out in a cold sweat, but before he could speak, he heard Mu Qing say loudly again: "Please ask the Mizhou elders to testify for me, I will definitely go to the yamen today to sue this evil errand!" ”
The people below actually didn't see things clearly, but Mu Qing's words were self-study. Scholar, besides, it is still Xie Yuangong, which naturally makes people feel a little more respect when they hear it, so Song Bantou usually makes businessman money, but he actually wants to bully the head of Xie Yuan, which is obviously turned upside down. If there is a good thing at the bottom, he boldly said loudly: "Don't worry, Xiao Xianggong, I will naturally testify to you!" ”
Mu Qing smiled and was about to speak, but he heard a cold voice from the cabin: "Don't bother the yamen, this king is in charge of this matter." ”
Mu Qing was stunned, and then turned around, only to see Li Qianyu slowly picking up the curtain and coming out. Dressed in white and with a jade belt, he has a romantic attitude.
Li Qianyu's prestige in Mizhou is naturally in full swing, he can't hide his whereabouts usually, and those ordinary people have more or less seen his appearance. The bearing of the royal nobles is naturally different from that of others, and this statement swept everyone's attention at the moment.
"His Royal Highness King Zhuang!"
Someone recognized it and shouted out, causing an exclamation, mixed with the screams of the girl. The head of the Song team was already glaring, and he didn't even dare to breathe, but he knew that he was afraid that a good day would come to an end this time.
Li Qianyu walked to Mu Qing's side with a faint expression: "There is so much nonsense there, such a wicked person is killed." ”
Mu Qing shrugged: "I am a scholar, so I naturally want to convince people with reason." ”
Li Qianyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, the three thousand taels just now were clearly a trick, and the means were simple and clumsy. However, it is not in vain that Li Qianyu asks him to recite the criminal law every day, which can be regarded as a live study, Li Qianyu glanced at Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo came over and directly pushed Song Bantou off the boat.
But instead of pushing it into the river, it was on the shore, and he threw Song Bantou so much that he vomited blood in his mouth.
Mu Qing didn't look at it, his eyes kept glued to Li Qianyu: "You steal the limelight from me." ”
Li Qianyu glanced at him: "The prestige of this king is already in the sky. ”
Smiled Mu Qing! romance, but he was still standing there, standing side by side with Li Qianyu, and never took a step back. (Baidu search or update faster) The author has something to say: Seeing that Mu Xiaoqing is still so "witty", I am relieved to be two v two
