Chapter 128: Exchange of Hostages
At noon, Liang Chuan stayed in the store, and Yi Niang came to deliver food to Liang Chuan. The store was so boring, Liang Chuan sat and yawned for days, and there was no chance to find someone to talk to, no wonder Xiao Hai stayed for two days and had such a big opinion.
"Third brother is eating!" Yi Niang delivered food to her husband, her heart was full of smiles. Liang Chuan saw it and asked, "Why is Yi Niang so happy today, is there anything happy?" ”
Yi Niang put the basket containing food on the table, took out all the food inside, and then took the basket to Liang Chuan and shook it, and said, "Third brother, what do you think of this basket?" ”
Liang Chuan took the basket, the bamboo strips on the basket are brand new, close to smell, the fragrance of the bamboo is still looming, it is a freshly made bamboo weaving, but the shape is still very irregular, the craft has just started, I haven't learned home, but it's no problem to use.
Liang Chuan smiled with satisfaction: "Did you make this bamboo basket or Erhua?" ”
"Sister Erhua is so exquisite, I made it so ugly." Yi Niang is very honest and will not tell lies.
"Actually, what you do is not ugly, it is already very exquisite, Li Erhua's family is a family handicraft, tempered every day, you have only been doing it for a few days, and the bamboo weaving that can make this effect is already very careful. Don't be in a hurry, good craftsmanship can't be in a hurry. Liang Chuan comforted Yi Niang.
Yi Niang brought him a bowl of braised pork, not much meat, only a few pieces, because Liang Chuan doesn't like meat very much. But there are quite a lot of vegetables, there are two or three bowls of wild vegetables, Tsubaki sprouts, bitter herbs and bracken. She also wondered that few people in ordinary families like to eat these dishes, but her husband has a soft spot for these dishes.
"Yi Niang, have you eaten?" Liang Chuan picked up the chopsticks and started to move.
"Third brother, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat, it's okay, you're done eating, I'll go back and eat again." Yi Niang held her chin and watched Liang Chuan eat with a mouthful of incense, and her heart became even happier.
At this time, there was a sound of crutches hitting the bluestone slab outside, and an old man staggered into the Wanda store with a crutch.
Liang Chuan glanced at this old man, although he was old, but his face was not angry and arrogant, he was not an ordinary old man in the countryside, Liang Chuan sighed in his heart, those who came are not good, and those who are good are not coming.
After the old man entered the store, he looked up and looked around at the layout of the store. The whole shop is like a legend, nothing is sold, the store is empty, there are three couplets hanging at the door and in the store, and a picture of a tiger descending the mountain is hung behind the counter of the store, and there is nothing else, just such a small shop, and now the fame is not lost to his lower pavilion at all.
"Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, when did Fengshan produce a hero like you, I don't even know the old man, people are really old and have to abdicate to make way for Xian, and it will be disgusting to occupy the position all the time." The old man's words seemed to be for Liang Chuan, and it seemed like he was talking to himself.
"Sir, what are you...?" Liang Chuan thought that he was going to come to a few couplets, and he looked like he was listening.
"I'm Li Zheng from Fengshan, and my surname is Jiang." Since Jiang Lizheng had something to ask for, he directly reported to his home when they met.
"It turned out to be Jiang Lizheng, disrespectful and disrespectful, the kid first arrived in Guibaodi, he should have gone to worship the mountain, but I can only be regarded as a small character who is not in the stream, and I dare to find you, the head of a township, I am afraid that I will humiliate myself, and you can't look down on it." Liang Chuan snorted.
"There are already two young people in the Yang family who have died because of you, today this Yang Zhongshan, I don't know if you can raise your noble hand and let him go, if there is anything wrong with you, let me take it back and educate it well, and I will definitely come to the door to admit my mistake to you another day." Jiang Lizheng's words were sincere, and there was even a hint of softness in his tone.
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said, "Jiang Lizheng hasn't eaten yet, don't stand all the time, my wife brought some food, I can't finish it alone, you can eat a little together." ”
"No, old man, I can wait for you to finish your meal before I talk to you."
Liang Chuan was holding rice in his mouth, and Jiang Lizheng was like an old pine, with a rickety posture, standing straight in the store. His eyes were closed, like an old monk who had settled down, waiting quietly.
Liang Chuan's eating appearance is not good-looking, and the sound of eating is loud, which is incompatible with the gentleman's requirement to eat without saying a word, and he is perverse and casual.
"You eat slowly, eating fast is not good for your health." Even Yi Niang can't stand it.
The braised pork made by Yi Niang is fat but not greasy, and the ancient domestic pigs eat real food, which is generally the leftovers of each family, no pig feed, and no clenbuterol. You don't need a lot of cooking to make it delicious, and it will leave you in your mouth. Coupled with crisp wild vegetables, the taste is fresh and tender, fragrant and refreshing, and with a bowl of snow-white rice, life is simple and happy.
Liang Chuan wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands with satisfaction after eating, and began to get to the point: "Jiang Lizheng, what do you mean by the two young people of the Yang family who died because of me?" I've never taken the initiative to provoke your Yang family, right? ”
"Heh, it is said that nobles forget things, Yang Chun of the Yang family estimated that he only asked not long ago, then Yang Xing died directly on the same day, Liang Chuan, you really can't remember it at all?"
Jiang Lizheng's tone was a little stiff, and there was a hint of anger.
Hearing these two names, Yi Niang subconsciously took a few steps back, and the painful memories of that day came to mind. These two people have brought many nightmares to their family, and a series of incidents have been caused by two people, otherwise they are still burning coal at the foot of Helu Mountain at this time, and they don't have to be anxious with people every day.
A chill flashed in Liang Chuan's eyes, and he said: "Jiang Lizheng, Yang Xing and Yang Chun are ready to violate my lady on the street, if I don't happen to follow my lady, my lady may be innocent, I know that you are relatives, but you are the head of a township, can you connive at them to break the law and discipline and bully weak civilians?" ”
"Did they tease your lady first, I don't know about this, alas, it's just that you Liang Chuan don't need to be so ruthless, then Yang Xing was punched to death by you, and you even framed Yang Chun, causing Yang Chun to be sentenced by the magistrate, what a ruthless method." Jiang Lizheng's eyes were like knives, and he couldn't wait to cut a few holes in Liang Chuan's body.
The corners of Liang Chuan's mouth raised, and he sneered again and again, people are really dark under the lamp, and they can see the darkness on others in the distance, but they can't see under their noses. "Jiang Lizheng, I don't know where you heard about Yang Xing who I killed, but I have a sense of the severity of my attack, Yang Xing may have been injured at the time, but it is far from being seriously injured and killed, besides, I examined Yang Xing's body in the court of the county government, he was obviously bled to death by overbleeding, not from the beating."
Jiang Lizheng heard Liang Chuan swear by what he said, and he couldn't refute between the lines in his words.
Liang Chuan continued: "At that time, I injured Yang Chun and Yang Xing, Yang Chun's body was thin and weak, and the injury should be more serious, but Yang Chun appeared in the public court well, but Yang Xing died. If I guessed correctly, Yang Chun couldn't get rid of it, and I might have almost become someone else's ghost at that time. It's just that my life is big, and there are Zheng Zuliang's big officials who came forward to protect me, so I escaped, and the truth of the matter is estimated that the people in the yamen have been tried from Yang Chun's mouth, otherwise after passing through the hall, the case will not be reported to the Criminal Division and the Criminal Department. ”
Jiang Lizheng closed his eyes in pain, he had already heard of the grievances between several descendants surnamed Yang, but he turned a blind eye. They are fighting not only for territory and power, but also for several casinos in Fengshan, and even his lower pavilion.
There is a lot of money that can be earned in these places in small Fengshan, no matter how good the brothers and relatives are involved, they are not even friends, and they will stretch out their poisonous hands to each other, but I am afraid that the truth of the matter is really as Liang Chuan said, he is also being used.
"Don't mention the grievances of the past, you are a character, such a small pattern in Fengshan will definitely not tolerate you as a giant python, today I just want to say that my grandson Yang Zhongshan is just too young to commit crimes if he neglects discipline. Zheng Dutou called me to come to you, saying that you can help me rescue my grandson. I haven't been so polite to anyone in Fengshan, Liang Chuan, can you sell me a favor today, not like a child? ”
"Lord Lizheng, you are exalting me too much, okay, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue of our nation, and I can't fail to abide by it today. In this way, I ask you about someone, and if it is convenient, I also hope that you will sell me a favor. ”
Jiang Lizheng had never dealt with Liang Chuan before, let alone had a relationship with anyone around him, who would he have in his hands?
"Say it."
Liang Chuan recalled the person he met in the Xinghua Prison that day, and said: "I heard that we have a scholar in Helu, who was previously a Xixi in your mansion, but was framed and thrown into the Xinghua Prison, giving away his good future in vain. ”
Jiang Lizheng didn't expect Liang Chuan to suddenly mention this name at this juncture, he can talk about Meng Liangchen, which means that he already knows the root section behind it, he is a big ugly family ugly, he can't let Meng Liangchen die in prison, and if he leaves the prison, his own family may stink all over the country!
Jiang Lizheng snorted coldly and said: "Sour pedantic, what's the use, a nerd who is holding two books and shaking his head, he can't eat the ancients, how did he get on the line with you?" ”
"Lord Li Zheng has a good memory, he hasn't forgotten him, he didn't hook up with me, it's not good to say this, it's a friend who asked me to do me a favor, I don't know if Jiang Lizheng is willing to come forward, I believe that the young man is definitely not guilty, this case has been pending for a long time, if you go to the Criminal Department to review, I'm afraid it will be full of suspicions, why don't you give the young man a chance, and with a gesture, he will win the seventh-level floating slaughter. It can also be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for Ling's grandson. ”
