Chapter 459: Reason
Nanshi Village, a small village that does not belong to any county seat. Such a village is impossible to find in other regions, no matter how small or poor, the imperial court will assign you to a nearby county seat.
But it's the norm in the North. Because of the long-term war, the layout of the prefectures and counties in the northern region changes almost once a year, and from time to time some prefectures and counties have to be added and deleted according to the situation on the front line, but the prefectures and counties can be deleted, and these small villages have no way to say that they can be moved, so they stay in place and become a three-way zone.
Although it is a three-point area, the whole Nanshi Village does not seem to be very chaotic, and even seems to be in order under the governance of the villagers themselves, and there are even a few shops and inns in the village to entertain merchants.
"Uncle, do you know where Village Chief Wang's house is?" Before entering the village, Tang Jin approached an old man squatting at the entrance of the village, asked with a smile, and handed over a tael of silver in his hand.
The old man waved his hand, didn't ask for Tang Jin's silver, and pointed to the only main road in the village: "It's not easy for you to go to the rivers and lakes, so you don't have to have money." See? Walking along this road, the third-to-last household in the easternmost part of the house is a pigsty in the courtyard. ”
Tang Jin nodded, didn't say anything, used a trick, stuffed the silver into the old man's clothes, Tang Jin thanked him and walked in with Tang Mengyun.
Nanshi Village is a big point, you fart in the east in the morning, and you can smell it at noon, so there is a flower thief in the village, and the news of watching the girl take a bath has long been spread. The village chief also said that he had hired people from the rivers and lakes to arrest people, so Tang Jin and the others confirmed their identities as soon as they asked the old man.
As for why he didn't treat Tang Jin as a flower thief...... Do you have a girl with you when you go out to pick flowers?
Tang Jin didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he pulled Tang Mengyun and quickly found the village chief's house. It's not that the old man pointed out how easy it is to find the road, it's really the smell of the pigsty, even if Tang Jin is half a village away, he can smell it.
Sincere! Sincere!
Knocking on the door, Tang Jin waited quietly at the door. Although the wall of this courtyard is very low, although there is no need to be polite to him as Tang Jin, it is in
Courtesy, Tang Jin still chose to knock on the door.
Fortunately, Village Chief Wang didn't let him wait too long, and opened the door after a while, asked about the identities of the two and hurriedly let the two in.
Although this village chief Wang sounds quite old, he actually looks like he is only in his fifties, but perhaps because of his perennial work, the whole person is already full of white hair, and his back is a little hunched, and his face still looks like he is fifty years old.
"The two young heroes, compared to the two of them, also know what they are doing when they invite you here. Since that's the case, I won't say much......" Village Chief Wang said, took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to Tang Jin, "This is one hundred taels of silver, which is the price for our village to ask the two of them to help." ”
Tang Jin didn't answer, waved his hand and asked him to take it back, he just came to experience life, not to make money. Besides, a hundred taels of silver is only the money for a meal or even an ornament for oneself, but here it may be all the savings that the whole village has put together.
"Village Chief Wang, there is a word below that I don't know if Village Chief Wang should say it or not." Tang Jin frowned slightly.
"Young heroes don't have to be polite, as long as you know it, you must know everything." The attitude of the village chief of Nawang was also very low.
"I'm very curious, this flower thief just likes to peep at women, at most it's just stealing a few underwear, to say that it's about innocence, to say that it's not a big deal, and it's not a big deal to say that it's a little bit beautiful in the past few years. The princess has also been seen by the eunuchs."
Tang Mengyun glanced at Tang Jin sadly when she heard this, this bastard's last sentence must have been deliberate! But think about it...... That makes sense...... It seems that I will bring more palace maids to take a bath in the future.
Village Chief Wang didn't see Tang Mengyun's reaction, he just nodded flatly, as if he had expected Tang Jin to ask again. "Actually, that's what we thought at first. Like you said, whose eldest girl and little daughter-in-law haven't been peeked? Look at it a few times and don't lose a piece of meat, just endure it for a while and let him leave on his own, but ...... He's not leaving! And the man has become more and more arrogant lately, and just a few days ago, the widow of the king in the west was touched by him to his house, and if it were not for the fact that he had a dog in the house, he was afraid that he would not have been ruined by this bastard. ”
speech
After that, Village Chief Wang sighed helplessly, "It is because of this that we all decided to ask someone to arrest this guy, and it will be impossible to get rid of him." If he stays any longer, it will be a trivial matter to defile the mother-in-law of whose family, and if the eldest daughter of that family is ruined by him...... Then it's too late for this life! ”
Tang Jin nodded knowingly when he heard this. What is the most hateful thing about the flower thief? It's not that he defiled anyone's daughter-in-law, in fact, this is not a matter, it is difficult to say about the rich and noble, but these men from poor families, it is not easy to get a wife, who will take a break until the last resort? What's more, his daughter-in-law is not stealing, she was stolen, and if she doesn't want to comfort her, forget it, divorce her wife? Lose your marbles?
So what's the most hateful? It must be a spoiling of the yellow flower girl! He is cool, and the girl's life is ruined. A good family doesn't want to get married, if you're lucky, you might be able to marry an old bachelor, but if you're unlucky...... I'm afraid I don't want to die alone.
This is also the reason why Village Chief Wang and they are in such a hurry to invite people, each family has a daughter more or less, who can not worry? The point is that it's useless to worry, a group of crop men look strong, and they can't beat them when they encounter martial artists.
"In that case, this guy is left to us. I don't dare to say that he will be arrested tonight, at least we will have a day, and the women in the village will not have an accident. ”
Tang Jin is not bragging, because Tang Mengyun said that he would personally kill this flower thief. Now there are nearly 100 Dali Temple agents in ambush outside the entire Nanshi Village, and these people are there, not to mention arresting people, protection is still not a problem.
"Little Lao'er thanked the two young heroes for the people of the whole village! If the two of you can help me Nanshi Village survive this catastrophe, we will be grateful to Dade, but whatever we can do is just the two of us. ”
Although Village Chief Wang's assurance sounded quite exciting, Tang Jin waved his hand absently. As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, there is really nothing you can help.
"Without further ado, it's not too early, the thief is afraid that he is about to act, and we are still ambushed in the village in the early morning. Otherwise, when the thief sees the two of us, he will turn around and flee, and it will not be good to come back and take revenge when we are gone. ”
