The mouth of the Luo River has not been touched by the light of the Luo River over the years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt is close to the Luo River and has convenient water transportation. Luohe County is even more businessmen. There is no shortage of squires. The grain merchant's house was built very tall, and the wall alone was seven or eight feet high.

The grain merchant heard that Cheng Linghui had brought people here. The gates were closed early. wants to give Cheng Linghui a closed-door soup to eat. Cheng Linghui is not a constant successor to everything poetry, books and etiquette. She has some habits of the rivers and lakes. Someone lifted the log and was about to hit the door.

Yan Jing said: "Why bother so much, I just went in and opened the door." After saying that, he lifted his breath and jumped to the high wall at once. The people who watched the excitement from afar saw it, and they were all shocked.

Yanjing has been a gentleman for many years, and what he has been doing is hiding and hiding unsightly behaviors. Never enjoyed the admiring gaze of others. I can't help but feel a little proud at the moment. Standing on the wall, he arched his fist at Cheng Linghui: "My lord, please be good." "Jump off the wall.

I only heard the shouts of the housekeepers in the high walls, and the sound of the clashing of blades sounded. Obviously, he got started with Yanjing. Cheng Linghui was afraid that Yanjing would suffer a loss, so she pretended to say: "What a bold Diao slave, dare to do something with the people of the imperial court?" Zhao Qiao. "An order, majestic.

Zhao Qiao understood, and he also climbed the high wall. Among the people, there was a sudden exclamation. Zhao Qiao didn't care about this, and jumped off the high wall without hesitation. He didn't bother to fight those subordinates, so he didn't go to Yanjing's aid. Instead, go to the door and leave it open.

As soon as the door opened, a group of officers and soldiers led by Cheng Linghui immediately rushed in. Three times five divided by two, overturned and tied up all those family members.

When the grain merchant heard the news, he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Where are you an official, you are clearly a robber." trespassing on other people's doors in the blue sky and daytime should be beheaded according to the law. ”

"Phew." Before Cheng Linghui could speak, Deng Ku had already spat out: "Who told you to talk to my family like this." If you don't kneel when you see the official, do you want to rebel? "It's a terrible hat. If you are on the edge of rebellion, you have to shed your skin if you don't die. Only then did the grain merchant remember that he was facing the imperial court. A dignified four-grade member. Look at the old man in front of him. Although he looks younger than the previous Qincha master. But there is a fierce momentum between the eyebrows, and it is obviously a master who is not easy to get along with. At that moment, his legs and feet weakened, and he knelt down.

Cheng Linghui stepped forward, held him up, and said with a pleasant face: "I arrived at your house today, and I am a guest." You are the Lord and I am the guest, how can there be any reason for the master to bow down to the guest? ”

The grain merchant was a little confused. The heart said, what kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd? Such a big break in, I have never seen such a guest in the past.

Cheng Linghui continued: "I asked you to invite the elders to talk about it, thinking that you are busy with affairs and have no time to get out. Xia Guan had no choice but to visit in person. The old man doesn't need to panic, just now the subordinates of the lower officials were not strict, which frightened the old man. I also hope that the old man will not be like them for the sake of my youth and the overzealous desire to visit you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The grain merchant wiped the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly asked someone to serve tea to Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui picked up the teacup and sighed: "They all say that water and fire are ruthless, and they don't deceive me." How can Xia Guan still have the mind to drink tea. ”

There was Chang Jiwen to borrow grain in front, and the grain merchant naturally knew where Cheng Linghui came from. In addition to the pain of cutting the flesh, count the pain of money. This grain merchant must pretend to be confused.

The two of them didn't say anything for a while, so they sat separately.

Cheng Linghui is young and practices martial arts, not to mention sitting for a while, it is not a problem to sit for three or five days. Although the grain merchant was only in his fifties, he was also physically strong. But right now, the people brought by Cheng Linghui have guarded the house tightly, and he is in the hall, and not even a mosquito can fly around. I don't know how the wife and child in the back house panicked. Under the buttocks, it's like pins and needles.

He looked at Cheng Linghui several times, and saw that although she was light and breezy, she was obviously not as good at talking as the previous Qincha. Especially the two people standing next to her, a black and a white, with a bloodless white face and a dead face. It's so black that it's a grinning baby face, but at first glance, it looks ill-intentioned. These two people are a pair of black and white impermanence.

Let's look at the other two. A man with oily hair and a pink face, his eyes flickering when he looks at people, and he is obviously not a good person. Although the other jade tree is in the wind, he is dressed in brocade and wears a jade crown, which obviously has a background.

You must know that in ancient times, there were strict hierarchies, and silk was not something that everyone could wear. Like this businessman, although there are some assets in the family. The silk and satin only dared to wear it in private. When it comes to formal occasions, you still have to wear cloth clothes. That's how the so-called 'cloth people' came about.

This grain merchant, coincidentally, wore a silk suit today. Therefore, the more I think about it, the more I can't sit still. Xiang Cheng Linghui said: "My lord, you sit down for a while, and let the villain go to change clothes." "Changing clothes is an elegant way of saying going to the toilet.

How could Cheng Linghui let him go smoothly. said: "Don't be busy, sit with me for a while." ”

The grain merchant was just looking for an excuse to get out of the way. was stopped by Cheng Linghui like this, and I really had the urge to urinate. can't pee his pants in front of Cheng Linghui. He had heard that this Lord Qincha had come to visit, and he had flouted the banner of the Chincha. To despise the Chin Cha is to despise the imperial court. If that crime is implemented, I am afraid that the heads of the whole family will not be solid.

The grain merchant was so anxious that he couldn't sit still in the hall, but when he saw the ghostly officers and soldiers in the Senluo Palace, he didn't dare to leave without permission. The Qincha is privileged, and there is no need to report the killing. If you annoy the person in the seat, there is no place to reason if your head falls off.

The more the grain merchant can't sit still, the more leisurely Cheng Linghui becomes.

The grain merchant can earn such a big family business, and it is not that he does not know how to make trade-offs. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to admit it. Accompanied by a smiling face, he said to the official: "This time the Luohe River was diverted, the people suffered a disaster, as a native of Luohe County, I am also worried day and night, and I have the intention to serve the township, but I can't pass by." I hope that the adults will give me some advice. "It's about bargaining. Don't you just want me to contribute money and food? Let's say a number.

Cheng Linghui didn't eat that: "Xiaguan is young, and he is also confused." "Look at it. If you don't meet my satisfaction, you think for yourself......

The grain merchant held out a finger. Cheng Linghui lowered her head and drank tea, as if she hadn't seen it.

The grain merchant stretched out another finger, and Cheng Linghui glanced up.

The grain merchant gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Three hundred stones, no matter how many villains there are, it will be difficult." ”

Cheng Linghui chuckled: "I don't know if the old man believes in the Buddha? ”

The grain merchant didn't know why Cheng Linghui suddenly asked this. At the moment, I didn't dare to say that I believed it, and I didn't dare to say that I didn't believe it: "When my mother was alive, she often ate fasting and recited Buddha. ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Then the lower official will tell the old man a story." "What's the story? It is the story that the Buddha told to his grandson. The Buddha went to someone's house to give a lecture, and the Buddha gave a lot of broken gold, but the Buddha didn't say it directly, saying that future generations would have no money to enjoy.

Why don't the grain merchants understand, this is less than 300 stones? He said ruthlessly: "Then five hundred stones, no more." ”

Cheng Linghui also lost patience and stretched out a finger.

The grain merchant breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, and pretended to be in pain: "A thousand is a thousand, for the sake of the villagers, I will make up the pot and sell iron." ”

Cheng Linghui shook his head slightly, and the grain merchant's heart hung up: "How much is that?" The cold sweat on his head broke out again.

"Ten thousand stones, one grain less, and the lower officials have to prepare for the winter here with you." It's only April, and it's still early in winter. Cheng Linghui is a blatant scoundrel, if you don't give it to me, you won't leave.

When the grain merchant heard this, his face turned pale: "My lord, don't you want a small life?" The small ones can't make up 10,000 stone even if they sell their sons and daughters. ”

Cheng Linghui stretched her waist and answered the question: "It's rare that the weather is good today." Brothers are working hard these days. This old man is really hospitable, so let's be disrespectful. Xiang Quansheng said: "You go and tell someone to take care of things." Don't be too extravagant and wasteful for lunch, just make some porridge steamed buns with pickles. There are so many people outside the city who have lost their homes and jobs and still can't eat, and we can't swallow it if it's too good. ”

The whole life is commanded, and he is about to go. Cheng Linghui stopped him again and instructed: "Let the brothers not walk around." I know that everyone is worried about the disaster, and it is inevitable that they will be irritable. But this is someone's house. There are inevitably a few young aunts in the family, young ladies or something. The woman's reputation is the most important. It's not good if you collide with one or two. Cheng Linghui's meaning is vicious. You're an old thing, you don't want money to die, don't you? Then don't blame me for taking advantage of your wife.

The grain merchant scolded in his heart: "Bandits, this is clearly a live bandit." But he didn't dare to say it. I was so anxious that I scratched my ears and cheeks, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet: "Okay, I promise you that it is." ”

"Oops!" Cheng Linghui hurriedly stood up and supported the grain merchant, as if he was supporting his father: "It's rare for the old man to understand the righteousness so well, and the people of Luohekou are blessed." Come on, come on, you sit here. I thank you here for the people of Luohe. "As he spoke, he really had to kneel down and kowtow.

Cheng Linghui is wearing official clothes, and the grain merchant has not been confused. If you really suffer this head, it will be a long life. was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Cheng Linghui up: "Luohekou can meet a messenger like you, which is also a blessing for us and other people." As he spoke, he shed two tears. God knows, these are tears of distress for those 10,000 stone of grain.

Cheng Linghui said: "Don't worry, the lower officials are here to guarantee that this 10,000 stone of grain will definitely not let you donate it in vain." ”

"Donate? Isn't it borrowed? "The grain merchant almost couldn't get up in one breath.

Cheng Linghui said seriously: "Xia Guan didn't say to borrow it." Xia Guan just came to visit the old man's home today, hoping that the old man could give advice on disaster relief. It is your old man who is worried about the people and wants to donate 10,000 stone of grain. Xia Guan is really grateful. ”

The grain merchant rolled his eyes and really fainted.

At this time, Cheng Linghui is a little big. She came to the door to play the scoundrel to raise food for disaster relief, but she didn't want to cause death.

Deng Ku stepped forward and said, "My lord, let my subordinates take a look." "I don't know where he took out a needle of gold, and it was a needle among the men of the grain merchant. The grain merchant grunted in his throat, woke up slowly, hugged Cheng Linghui's thigh and cried: "My lord, you really want my life." I can't live anymore. ”

Deng looked at him with a wry smile: "Do you want me to give you a dose of poison?" It is colorless and tasteless, and it will die when you eat it. There is no pain in keeping. ”

The grain merchant also let go, crying, "Even arsenic is what I eat." ”

Deng smiled bitterly: "Look at your sincerity." I'll give you a discount today, and sell one person's share to the whole family. You don't have to bother to do it. You pay the money first, and I will keep it and deliver it to your door. Even your chickens and dogs will give a copy. Keep you there, and the family will be reunited. If you want me to help collect and bury it, the silver will be paid separately. ”

Deng Ku...... You are Deng Ku......" The grain merchant looked at Deng Ku as if he had seen a ghost, and even forgot to cry. What do you say? This Deng Kuyuan is a posthumous son, which is the tomb child as the saying goes.

In the past, people were superstitious and always had some taboos about posthumous children. Deng Ku's family was poor, and his mother left him at the gate of Yizhuang and ran away with others. Deng Ku was picked up and raised by the old man who guarded the door in Yizhuang. Dealing with dead people for many years. Later, when he grew up, he also started a coffin business. It's a very evil method. He is synonymous with eerie and treacherous at the mouth of the Luohe River. He also generally does not take the initiative to deal with outsiders.

If someone else said that he would send this grain merchant to death, the grain merchant would not believe it, but he could say it from Deng Ku's mouth, even if he didn't believe it, he felt that the wind was blowing in his face, and it was very weird. It seems that he carries a lot of invisible and untouchable 'dirty' on his body, and if he is entangled in it, even if he does not die, he will be unlucky enough for the rest of his life.

"Are you still dead?" Deng Ku was still smiling. He was born baby-faced, and not smiling is about the same as laughing.

The grain merchant was so frightened that he shrank back, hid behind Cheng Linghui and said, "Don't die, don't die......" Looking at Cheng Linghui's eyes, it was like seeing a living immortal. How capable is it to be able to collect Deng Ku under the door?

Cheng Linghui waved his hand. Deng Ku stepped aside.

Cheng Linghui said to the grain merchant: "In this way, the lower official will leave." The old man's high righteousness is remembered by the lower officials. When he returns to Beijing one day, he will definitely show his saints. ”

"Tell the emperor?" The grain merchant was a little incredulous: "The emperor is so busy with his old man, do you have time to observe me and other small people?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "Long live today, wise and diligent, and aware of all the people. The official mission is to care for the people's livelihood and reach the heavens. The old man is kind to the township, and it should be played. Maybe the Holy One will reward you. ”

When the grain merchant heard it, there was such a good thing? If you can get a reward from the Lord of Long Live Lord, it will be the supreme glory of the glorious ancestors. I don't know if he was angry with Cheng Linghui or by Deng Ku. His head was hot and he said: "If the Long Live Lord can know about the affairs of Xiaomin Zhouji Township, then what is 10,000 stone of grain?" I'll add another 10,000. I'll send it to the county office tomorrow. ”

"What is this good for the lower officials?" Cheng Linghui waved his hand and instructed the master who was carrying him: "Quickly write it down for the old man." ”

The master Bo is also a clever person, and while remembering, he also read aloud: "Luohe County, in a certain year and month, Geng Ji grain store at Luohekou, Geng Wanqiu, the big owner, donated 20,000 stone of grain to help the township. ”

The grain merchant listened, his face shining with oil, as if he had seen the emperor's golden decree of commendation coming to his door.

Cheng Linghui got 20,000 stone of grain and said goodbye to this grain merchant. Then we went to the next one......

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Cheng Linghui kicked the first kick, and the rest is easy to say. At the end of the day, the gentry and eunuchs in Luohekou County donated money and materials one after another. Later, they didn't even need Cheng Linghui to ask for it, they sent it themselves.

There is no other reason, after hearing about Geng Ji, most of them think that they are not Cheng Linghui's opponents. Since you can't afford to provoke, you can only compromise. Moreover, didn't Cheng Linghui also hang a carrot in front of these people's donkeys? Anyway, you have to donate, and if you don't don't, you have to donate. It's better to be happy, in case you really get the emperor's commendation. Therefore, these people not only donate, but also donate more than they do. (To be continued.) )
