Chapter 378: The innkeeper's thoughts

A little gossip about the follow-up of those roadblock robberies. It is said that after these people returned, they really changed their ways and returned to the right, no longer bullying the weak with the strong, and no longer tyrannical and domineering. On the contrary, in the cemetery, escorting the convoy or pedestrians who are afraid to come and go from morning to night, they can also get a few taels of silver every day. Especially in the rainy season and summer, when there are many heavy rains, there are often passing carriages because the people in the car are urgent, and the people who drive the carriage are upset and irritable, and when driving the horses, they often use heavy force, causing the horses pulling the carriage to run suddenly, so that the wooden carriage that is not anti-slip rolls over. If they saw this, they would reach out to help the family get out of the grave as soon as possible. At this time, the owner of the carriage will be very willing to reward, and those who catch up with the generous can reward a big silver ingot of ten taels. It's a lot more valuable than they used to wander around the streets all day! Later, I don't know who called Yuning Mansion saw what they were doing in this graveyard, and when they returned to the city to publicize it, everyone praised them one after another, but they had a better reputation than those young people who were already very good! Let's talk about it, this thing is actually quite unfair!

But their good fortune didn't end there! One year, during the heavy rains in late summer and early autumn, a group of family members of the official family walked on this road. Perhaps it was the darkness of the sky that aggravated the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, making people more nervous and frightened when they walked in it, and the main owner of the convoy, Mrs. Wei, suddenly became hysterical. She cried and screamed and bitten, and finally broke free from the maids, jumped out of the carriage and ran around the cemetery, shouting that someone had harmed her, and digging the grave in the rain with both hands.

The family members and slaves of this official family were all frightened and dizzy, and they looked at their master and mother crazy. But these people were frightened because they had seen too much, and the women were in a strange condition. He stepped forward to help and persuaded the leader of the team: "This brother! Your wife's situation is a bit like falling for an evil spirit. The grave she picked up was a widow who died accidentally, and it is estimated that this widow probably did not die by accident. It's very likely that someone killed him. I'm afraid that your master is an official, and a good official, so she found your wife and wanted your lord to avenge her! You! Hurry up and kowtow, tell her to let go of your wife for the time being, and go back to find your master to investigate and avenge her, so as to get rid of her resentment. ”

There was no other way for that family to think of. Regardless of whether it is true or not, do what these people say first, and kowtow on the spot. After saying this, his wife screamed and fell unconscious.

It is also said that the man of the official's wife turned out to be the new prefect who was newly sent to Yuning Mansion. I really started to investigate the cause of the widow's death that these people said, and the final result confirmed that the woman had indeed been killed.

It turned out that the woman was after the man died. Leave her a few acres of paddy fields. A set of yards. Originally, this little thing was not worthy of people's eyes, even to the point of murder for money, but her man's brother and sister-in-law thought that she did not deserve this inheritance. After the clan's request for the resumption of the land and the small courtyard was not answered, they tried every means to force the widowed brother and daughter-in-law to remarry. The widowed woman wanted to earn a chastity arch and had the support of the male patriarch. The brother and sister-in-law had no choice, so they thought of a trick to damage the situation, found a second laizi who no one knew from afar, came to their village, and openly teased and teased the widowed woman. A few days later, the widow was found dead in a ditch. Everyone thought that the widowed woman had committed suicide by throwing herself into the water because her reputation had been damaged. Who knew that there was also a festival in this!

When the senior official surnamed Wei was trying this case, he found suspicious points. Why did the woman not commit suicide by throwing herself into the water? On the contrary, it will take a few days later, and the matter has passed, before he commits suicide? The other is that since everyone doesn't know the two laizi? It shows that Erlaizi will not be the person around them, so why did he go so far and in a strange place to flirt with a widow or woman? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?

The senior official followed these suspicious points, and after finding out the culprit's Erlaizi, the case became clear. In the end, it was this sister-in-law who was tried! According to her confession: "My brother and daughter-in-law got the news from somewhere, and knew that it was Laizi who was found by the people to deal with her, so she threatened the women to tell the patriarch." If the patriarch knew about this, the woman would either give up or sink in the pond, and the woman was afraid that she couldn't do it, and saw that behind her brother and daughter-in-law was a ditch, and she was pushed down in the ditch as soon as her brain was hot. I didn't expect her to drown in a ditch, which wasn't really that deep. ”

At this point, the cause of the widow's death was revealed, and her revenge was avenged! Not only did the prefect surnamed Wei gain the reputation of a good official, but even the reputation of these people became more and more high-profile, and they were finally accepted by the prefect surnamed Wei as an official in the government office. The official errand may not be very good in the eyes of later generations, with little salary and low status, and there is really nothing to do. But for these unemployed people who don't have half an acre of land and have no family business, it is a golden job. As long as there are no big mistakes, this profession can be done until old age, and it can be passed on to sons and grandsons to continue to do it in the future.

All right! This is the end of the deeds of these prodigal sons. Let's take a look back at the fleet!

Er Ya and Xiaohu watched with tears and laughter as those people ran away only by themselves, the carriage that had fallen to the ground on the road was still lying there, and the two old and thin old men were still trying to lift the carriage in vain.

Erya called the six boys and said, "Go over and tell the two old men to stand far away." The four of you watched the old man and didn't hurt you, and the remaining two helped the car up to the side of the road and gave way to the road. Be careful! Preventing those two people from really robbing them! ”

However, it is possible that Erya has read too many martial arts novels, so he will treat the two thin old men as masters. The fact is that these two old men were driven by carriages to make a living, and they were forced to come by these people. They trembled from the moment they knew that these people were going to rob, and until these people fled, they couldn't calm down. At this moment, seeing six people cautiously walking up to him, still holding weapons in their hands, ready to attack at any time, the two of them rolled their eyes and fainted at once.

Several boys inherited Erya's caution, and did not relax their vigilance because the two old men fainted, but carefully moved the two old men to the side, straightened the car and drove it to the side, and the two old men also sobered up. When they passed. Seeing that the two old men did not make any movement, they were a proper man who kept to himself, so he took one or two pieces of silver for each of them. Counted as a convulsion.

After the graveyard and when he entered the inn to rest, Erya asked the children: "When the brothers fought with others just now, were you afraid?" ”

I thought there would be at least a few little ones who said they were afraid! Who knows that all of them are fans who are not afraid of fire, "Don't be afraid!" It's fun to fight, we haven't even seen it yet! Why didn't those people fight? ”

"Holy! No wonder I keep hearing people slapping and applauding behind me! It turned out to be you bunnies! "The stout Tieda is really like a Tieda. Sitting firmly at the dinner table, he shouted at the little guy who was talking to the other side.

Xiaohu also smiled at these children who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, knowing that they were living on the streets. I'm afraid that what I see is more terrifying than a simple fight. So I look at the children's mentality of watching the excitement and not being afraid of too many things.

Erya looked at the little girl who was only three or four years old (Little Meow), and also clapped her hands, "giggled" and laughed, "Auntie!" You're going to fight too, huh? Little Meow also wants to be able to fight. Is it good for aunt to teach little meow to fight? ”

"Good! But. Learning to fight is hard and tiring, and you're afraid you won't be able to hold on! ”

"Auntie! Little Meow Meow is not afraid of hardship or tiredness! I can learn! ”

Anyway, it's all about learning, and Er Ya should take a bite: "That's good!" Let's start learning when we get home! ”

The other children also shouted, "Auntie! I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness, I also have to learn! ”

"Auntie! I learn too! ”

Er Ya listened to the sounds of calls from several tables, and even the sound of the milk child who couldn't speak clearly followed the call, and only felt that her brain hurt. He replied loudly, "Yes, yes! Teach it, when the time comes, I can't tolerate you to retreat from the bitter and tired! ”

"Oh! Oh! We're going to learn to fight too! ”

There was another shouting in the hall, but fortunately there were no other guests. Otherwise, people will have to protest.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt were quite scared when they saw someone robbing at first, but later they saw all the points that those people were beaten. I also followed the children to watch the excitement with great interest, and occasionally acted as an expert comment. At this time, watching the children make a fuss, they also laughed and laughed, and they only felt that these little lives brought them endless vitality and happiness.

The inn, which was originally lifeless, was suddenly full of life with the shouts of children and the laughter of adults. Even the leaves in the yard are dancing to the laughter of adults and children, and the swinging dance should match the joy of the room.

In the small kitchen, there is only one chef who is sweating profusely and cutting spare ingredients while cooking vegetables. The mother-in-law who was washing vegetables next to her was busy chatting with the mother-in-law who was burning the fire: "You say! What kind of family is this, with so many children? If you want to say that you are selling children, right? Look at it and it doesn't look like it, if you want to say it's not! Where did so many children come from? ”

"I don't look like I'm selling children! When did you see someone selling their children and giving them some food at their inn? I also ordered the best dishes in the inn! ”

The two mothers-in-law didn't know, they were all thinking about it here, but the chef had heard of the Wang family in Hepu Town. One of his junior disciples was hired to work as a cook in the Wang family, and he could earn twenty taels of silver every month, which was comparable to the worship of a county order.

His junior brother was a bit honest, and he couldn't stay in the master's house when he asked the later junior brother to squeeze him, so he had to let go and leave the seat to the later junior brother, and then there was no news.

It was also the year before last, and I heard from the merchants that there was a newly opened hot pot restaurant in the state capital that the business was particularly hot, and the food in it was all good. He's going to steal a thing or two and come back and make a signature dish. Who knew that when he was wandering in the backyard and couldn't enter the kitchen, he actually saw the junior brother coming out of the kitchen. Wearing a chef's hat and a chef's clothes, he looked familiar at first glance, but after a closer look, he realized that he was a junior brother. Although he couldn't learn the essence of the Wang's hot pot restaurant, the junior brother gave him a lot of seasonings with the consent of the shopkeeper and asked him to come back and ponder it by himself. But now he can also come up with a few good dishes.

Speaking of his junior brother, he remembered when he was in the master's house. At that time, he thought that he was the master's big disciple, and the master would inevitably take him with him to do things for the master's family, until the master retired and recommended him to be a chef. It's just that I didn't expect it, but in a year, I was forced to leave the master's house by that strong junior brother, and I begged to get this job as a cook in an inn. Although I can only get one or two taels of silver a month, I can rest assured that I can guarantee the harvest during drought and flood. Because later, with the help of my junior brother, I also worked hard to figure it out, and finally had a few good dishes. Every time a guest orders these special dishes that need to be added to the money, he can also earn half of the share, and he can only get five taels of silver when he is full every month. However, it is far worse than what the Wang family gave to the junior brother, hey! The same people don't have the same fate!

Thinking that these people might be the Wang family in Hepu Town, the chef became busy again. You must leave a good impression on the Wang family, if you can't do it here in the future, you will ask your junior brother for help, and he will also go to the Wang family! (To be continued......)
