CHAPTER XV
Lord Feng's other guards escorted the five people away, and Yi Cheng also greeted Lord Feng warmly and respectfully into the door, but Lord Feng still asked the people who were driven away to go back first.
This kind of good official who loves the people makes the people very excited.
"Let's go, let's write a joint letter." A few of them were old and steady, and they automatically greeted everyone.
The people cheered in, and the bustle in front of the door dissipated.
Wang Qilang turned around and saw that the woman was already sitting by the campfire, as if he had just gone to show off to her and got the room, as if nothing had happened at all....
"These are house slaves... Let their masters punish them..."
The night wind blew the words of Steward Cao.
Wang Qilang came back to his senses and saw that Steward Cao was talking to a few guards, and those guards naturally agreed to one more thing than one thing less.
"Cheng Jianniang, you, what are you doing?" He hurried over and shouted.
The liveliness of Shicai did not affect Banqin, and when she was beating, scolding and excitedly asking for her life here, she had already prepared dinner.
On the way, it is very simple and very warm to pass by.
Banqin was kneeling on the futon and serving the well-soaked vegetables and meat to Cheng Jianniang.
So Cheng Jianniang raised her head and replied.
"Eat."
Dine?
Wang Qilang only felt angry.
"I'll let you eat!" He raised his foot and kicked over several cases in front of Cheng Jianniang.
Banqin screamed.
Fortunately, the small pot was on her side, and only dishes and chopsticks were placed on Cheng Jianniang's cases, and the dishes and chopsticks were also held in Cheng Jianniang's hands, and only the plates rolled off in the cases that were kicked over. It avoids the terrible situation of the soup tumbling and splashing and scalding people.
"What do you kid want to do?" Steward Cao was the first to grab Wang Qilang. Don't hesitate to slap the hand.
Wang Qilang was stunned.
He's grown so big. It's the first time I've been slapped, no, it's the first time I've been slapped...
It's still a subordinate who beat him!
"Someone, someone!" Wang Qilang shouted in a hissing voice, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Steward Cao, but how could he be Steward Cao's opponent, and someone hugged his arm.
"Childe, Childe. If you have something to say, it's good to say. The old servant shouted.
Wang Qilang was even more angry.
Who has something to say? People did it first, and it was themselves who were beaten! How the hell are you going to talk about it?
He was about to shout, but the old servant had already snatched the conversation again.
"Cheng Niangzi, Cheng Niangzi, this time we are reckless..."He said busily.
Wang Qilang glared at the old servant in disbelief, and then looked at the other entourages who looked around at the Zhou family's entourage and bowed their heads and silenced.
After a beating, he was frightened by the people of the Zhou family?
"Sit down." Cheng Jianniang said.
In response, Wang Qilang was pressed to the ground by Steward Cao, and his buttocks fell straight to the ground, and Wang Qilang howled.
The old servant pounced with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." He said again and again.
Wang Qilang was angry and anxious.
"Are you stupid too? Childe, you still thank people when I was beaten? He shouted.
Uh, yes. I should have thanked me intuitively...
The old servant was also stunned, but as an old servant. A lot of the time he still trusts his instincts.
"Childe, the matter of Fang Cai, we are reckless." He hurriedly whispered to Wang Qilang.
"What's the matter? Nothing is as big as Gongzi I was beaten up, Cheng Jiaoniang, let me tell you, this family business is just settled......" Wang Qilang shouted, about to jump up, but his shoulder was held down by Steward Cao.
Before the old servant could speak, someone came over.
"Lady, it's that Lord Feng." Steward Cao said.
Everyone present looked over and saw that it was indeed the thin man who came over, still wearing a cloak and hood, obviously not resting and washing, but came directly after talking to Yicheng.
"Sure enough, you did a good deed, and ruined people's reputation in public." Wang Qilang shouted with a sneer.
Cheng Jianniang looked at him.
"Can you tell that I'm ruining someone's reputation in public?" "I'm not stupid," she said. ”
Wang Qilang glared.
"Can you tell then that he's here to thank me for saving my life?" Cheng Jianniang continued.
Saving?
This woman is not just a fool, she is also a madman!
Wang Qilang wanted to jump up, but he was helplessly pressed on the shoulder by Steward Cao.
As he spoke, Master Feng had already approached and looked at Cheng Jianniang's long body.
"A certain Feng Lin thanks the lady for saving her life." He said.
Wang Qilang looked stunned.
Unexpectedly...
"Lord Feng is serious." Cheng Jianniang said, while getting up and returning the salute, "It's just that my family is confused and causing trouble, so I just came forward to teach a lesson." ”
Lord Feng's gaze fell on the old servant.
"Thank you, sir." The old servant of the Wang family immediately stepped forward and bowed, "The small wanton behavior is a big mistake." ”
Belch...
Wang Qilang looked at the old servant and felt a little crazy...
What the hell are they talking about?
Lord Feng took off his hood, revealing a face as thin as his body.
"The lady's subordinates are for kindness, but my subordinates are not necessarily kind." He sighed.
"Good intentions do sometimes do bad things." Cheng Jianniang said, "It's not an exaggeration. ”
"It depends on whether it is intentional or unintentional." Feng Lin said, looking at Cheng Jianniang with flickering eyes.
Cheng Jianniang did not speak.
The scene froze for a while, and the night wind was whistling.
didn't answer, Feng Lin was a little puzzled.
"If it weren't for the lady to drink it in time this time, so-and-so would be in big trouble." Feng Lin continued to say by himself.
"It's just a lesson for domestic slaves, adults don't have to worry about it." Cheng Jianniang said.
Feng Lin looked at Cheng Jianniang for a moment, with a somewhat inquiring expression.
"The lady is from Beijing?" He asked.
This is the third time he has provoked the conversation, obviously to continue the conversation, but the little lady in front of him still has no intention of asking to sit down.
"Hmm." Cheng Jianniang said.
That's a pretty crisp answer.
"I don't know which one?" Feng Lin asked with a little curiosity, "A certain is also from Beijing." ”
"Ordinary people are not enough to worry about." Cheng Jianniang said.
Feng Lin didn't care. smiled.
"It's getting late. It's a woman's house again. Yicheng just cleaned up a room, so the lady might as well go and rest. He said sincerely.
"Thank you, sir, but I don't need to." Cheng Jianniang said.
Feng Lin's gaze swept around, the tent that had been set up, the cauldron that was bubbling with the aroma of steam, nodded and did not force it.
"Then don't delay the lady's rest." He said, bowing his hand.
Cheng Jianniang returned the gift.
Feng Lin walked away.
The upper room in the post station had been cleaned up, and Feng Lin was washed and dusted. But he couldn't wash away the tiredness on his face.
"My lord, tea." He said, handing over a bowl of tea, "The meal is also ready and delivered." ”
Feng Lin glanced at the food on the table, shook his head and had no appetite, and took the tea bowl with a gloomy face.
"Did you ask that?" He asked.
Shake your head.
"Those people insisted that they were honoring the adults, and they had no other selfish motives, let alone no one to instruct them." He said.
Feng Lin sneered.
"Filial piety?" He said, slamming the tea bowl in his hand on several cases, "I thought the official was a fool." Can't you see their thoughts? Their minds are almost shouted out loud! ”
A word shouted out. The anger in his heart could not be hidden, and he got up and paced.
"Driving away the people in the middle of the night, is this a tribute to me? This is to roast this official on the fire! ”
“… If this thing succeeds, look at it, before dawn, the impeachment of nearby officials will be able to fly to the capital like snowflakes! Without waiting for the official to walk into Taicang Road, the Yushitai can escort the official back to Beijing! ”
"They are small soldiers and small officials, when the time comes, they will be pushed clean and reprimanded, and the sky will fall and I, the official, will be on top!" He said, getting angrier the more he talked.
"This kind of trick, do you think this official has never seen it? At the beginning, Liao Haifeng was ordered to investigate the salt tax in Suzhou, but as soon as he arrived in Suzhou, he had a meal on a snowy day, and was impeached by local officials for harassing the people, and was directly tied back to the capital. ”
“… Didn't they just praise the beautiful snow scene when they were eating, but the thatched hut was a little bad for the scenery, and as a result, they were excused to drive the people to demolish the thatched hut, they were for filial piety? They are there to borrow a knife to kill! Liao Haifeng has no other problems, he is a poor and sour literati who loves Dese! ”
He followed him in a low voice and urged the adults to calm their anger.
"I said why is this Taicang Road Transit Division so kind and sent someone to pick it up in person." Feng Lin said here and sneered again and again, "What a good trick!" even colluded with the people of the God Barracks! ”
"My lord, this errand is really not easy to do, no wonder no one else can shirk it...", he said with a sigh.
The Transshipment Division controls the money and grain, and it is the largest department in oil and water, and I don't know how many people's interests will be damaged by this move, and how many people are staring at you in the open and secretly waiting to deal with you.
"How can you spare your life for the country." Feng Lin said solemnly, "Can these tricks scare the official?" Thank them for giving me a heads up! ”
He nodded with a little luck.
"The loss is that lady's road is uneven, otherwise it would be really difficult for adults to end this time." He said.
Feng Lin nodded, with a little palpitation.
If there was really no one to come forward at that time, even if he arrived to stop it, it would be difficult to clean up the situation, knowing that he was stabbed, but there was nothing he could do.
Speaking of that lady, Feng Lin's expression was solemn for a moment.
"Is it really a bumpy road?" He said to himself, "In this world, there are still people who see injustice like this? Or is it a woman's house? ”
"Maybe it was the idea of the boy next to her," he guessed.
The one who speaks is not necessarily the most powerful person, the one who does not speak is the one with a valuable status.
Feng Lin immediately shook his head.
"That man is nothing." He said, "He looks like he has eyebrows and eyes, but he looks like he is unfocused." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly.
"It's this little lady who looks dull, her eyebrows and eyes are full of spirit, her words are shrewd, and she doesn't leak." He said.
The relatives were a little stunned, he didn't see this...
"She's not saying it's because the servants are involved." He said, "It seems that this is indeed the case, if this matter is settled, the adults will naturally be punished, but these servants will definitely be implicated, this lady does not know which one in Beijing is Lu Dao, presumably if it is implicated, it will be inevitable trouble, more than one thing." ”
Feng Lin nodded.
"That's right, Pingshui met without relatives and no reason, she definitely wasn't for me." He laughed and shook his head again.
After saying something for a while, coupled with the fact that there was no danger this time, Feng Lin's mood was relieved.
"My lord, eat something and rest early." The relatives took the opportunity to persuade him.
Feng Lin nodded and sat down.
"That lady doesn't know what to cook deliciously." He suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly, "It smells quite good." ”
After a few cases were laid out, Banqin brought up the recooked meal, and Steward Cao and others had already started eating and drinking around the cauldron.
Cheng Jianniang, who was holding the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Wang Shishilang.
"Since you're with you, it's best to listen to me, my rule is that you can't do more than three." She said.
Wang Qilang's expression was gloomy, and he jumped up when he heard the words.
"You're threatening me? Listen to you? Your rules? Cheng Jianniang, what rules do you have in front of me? He shouted, stretching out his hand and pointing at the steward Cao over there, "I'll tell you, if you don't break the leg of that shitty thing that hit me today, you won't want to enter the door of my Wang family again!" ”
He shook his hand and left.
"Childe, Childe," the old servant hurriedly shouted.
Wang Qilang ignored it and quickly walked away, the old servant chased a few steps and stopped, signaling the other entourages to follow, and he hesitated for a moment to walk back.
"Lady." He bent down and knelt down to give a salute, "My son-in-law also asked the lady to take care of it, my son-in-law is not familiar with the world, the family sent me to take care of it, this time I can't take care of it, this time I can't complain about the son, it's the old slave I don't think about it, and I fell into someone's trap, so that the lady bothered." ”
He said and leaned over and kowtowed.
"Thank you, no." Cheng Jianniang said, "It's not a big deal, even if it happens, you won't have anything, just talk about spending some money." ”
That's too...
Anyway, they won't be like that unlucky official, at most, they will be reprimanded for disturbing the people, reprimanded and fined some money, and the people will be punished with some boards.
Of course, the old servant won't be stupid to say it.
"No, no, how can it be so simple, the lady bothered, let the lady bother." He prostrated again.
"Don't bother." Cheng Jianniang said, "I just don't like trouble, especially the trouble that delays my journey." ”
So, when the trouble hasn't come to the door, do you take action to solve the trouble?
The old servant said in his heart, raising his head and looking at the lady in front of him.
"What if, if this lord didn't appreciate it at the time?" He couldn't help but ask.
What if that lord is just like this unreasonable servant and guard?
"Then tonight's joint petition is against him." Cheng Jianniang said, looking at the old servant, "I said it, this matter is just because of a few of you foolish subordinates." ”
In other words, it's not a fight at all...
It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong.
If that official is confused, then help this little official and the guards to work together, and it is the official's net worth that will be ruined, so with this kind of assistance, the little officials and the guards will naturally not implicate a few of their subordinates.
If the official is sober and reasonable, reacts quickly, and can use his strength to fight, then he will keep his net worth and destroy the net worth of the little officials and guards, so he is also helped by this lady, and it is too late to be grateful, and naturally he will not implicate a few of their subordinates.
The old servant sat on his knees, feeling a little complicated.
If Zhilu Dao was like this, then the little official would definitely not have picked a few of them as gunmen in the first place.
If there is no sentence, we see that Wang Gongzi is also because of the difficulty of eating and living, so I want everyone to cooperate, but now they are afraid that their wishes have come true.
Fate is impermanent, in a word, the result is diametrically opposed.
It's really a curse that comes from the mouth, and you must think carefully before you speak.
