Chapter 44: The One Who Doesn't Want to Save
Not far from the gate of Liu Zhizhai's courtyard, Hua Rong was already waiting there, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he was relieved to help Liu Jing hold the box and return to the small village together, Hua Xun and Yang Zhen'er were also waiting, going back to the house to sit down, drinking tea and gossiping.
"It seems that Liu Gao's house is ruined this time." The box was a little heavy, Hua Rong put it on the table, took a breath, and then asked about the guest.
"If there is anything good, it is nothing more than trying to ask for an official." Liu Jing spread his hands and told the story.
Hua Xiaomei thought it was funny and listened to it with relish.
Yang Zhen'er smiled at her husband, her eyes were ambiguous.
Only Hua Rong stomped his feet and said, "Why can't my brother do a good thing, and humiliate that guy once." ”
Liu Jing shook his head: "I am not noble, and I am not so good, to make two people who are about to die, it is a loss of peace, such as this box of gold and silver, even if I don't take it, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of others." ”
"My brother is still good-hearted, ah, what are you talking about who is about to die?"
"I said that those two people will die soon, why bother to play tricks on others again, I have a little ability to know what happened before and after death, and I think the virtuous brother also knows."
Hua Xun next to him heard it, and ran over curiously and said, "Since my brother can tell fortunes, is it okay to calculate for me." ”
Hua Rong also said: "That's right, the eldest brother will count it for our brothers and sisters." ”
"Of course I know about you, but I'm afraid your brother and sister won't be able to bear it."
"Although the eldest brother says it, even if the sky falls, the younger brother can withstand it." Seeing the seriousness of what Liu Jing said, Hua Rong's heart sank, and Zhengrong said.
"That's good, Yuncheng Song Jiang, you know it very well, right?"
"Exactly, that was the eldest brother who the younger brother knew back then, and now he hasn't seen him for five or six years."
Liu Jing nodded: "I know your intentions, so if he makes a mistake, you must definitely save him, right." ”
"That's nature."
"It's a pity that the righteous Brother Song in your heart is actually an extremely selfish and thick black person, who always likes to harm his benefactor for his own selfish desires."
Hua Rong was dumbfounded: "How is this possible." ”
Liu Jing sneered: "What's impossible, at most in a few months, your brother and sister's bad luck will come." ”
At the moment, he no longer concealed it, and told the story of Qingfeng Village in history as it was, when it came to Song Jiang in order to appease Qin Ming, he took it upon himself to marry Hua Xiaomei, and at this time, when Qin Ming's wife's head was still hanging at the head of Qingzhou City, Hua Xun immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
Yang Zhen'er hurriedly helped up, pinched and beat his back, and soon Hua Xun woke up slowly, tears fell like rain, screamed, crawled to Hua Rong's feet, hugged his brother's legs and begged: "Brother, please, don't marry me to that devil~~"
Hua Rong roared, his eyes were about to split, and he asked Liu Jing with blood-red eyes: "Brother is telling the truth!! ”
Yang Zhen'er sneered: "My husband does good deeds for the sky, every time he changes his life with others, how can he miss it once, it is the eldest wife of my family, if my husband does not change his life with him, after two years, it will only be a cup of dust on Huangquan Road!" ”
Liu Jing said lightly: "If you don't believe it, you will know that I will go to the capital after a month, if it is not for the rescue of your brothers and sisters, why bother to go around here." ”
Hua Rong knelt down on one knee, made a big salute, and said with shame: "It's Hua Rong's mistake, the man is alive, if he can't even protect his wife and little sister, what's the use of saving, if it's not for the elder brother's way to break the sky, the younger brother is afraid that the world will laugh at it." ”
Helped his sister up, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and comforted: "Little sister, don't worry, my brother will never do that bastard thing in this life!" ”
Liu Jing poured two cups of tea and asked his brother and sister to calm down first.
Hua Xun didn't drink, so she hugged Yang Zhen'er in the past, and asked her sister to take her to escape from this place of right and wrong.
Hua Rong drank the tea, gasped for a long time, and said with a sigh: "Brother's grace to change his life against the sky, it is difficult to hold his body, the life of the younger brother will be sold to his brother in this life, then I don't care about Song Jiang, just follow my brother." ”
He also wondered: "It's just that my wife is still here, and there are thirty or forty people under her heart, how can this be arranged?" ”
"Then Song Jiang, you don't care about him, he's fine, I don't believe it, when the news reaches your ears and mine, sister-in-law and little sister might as well go back to Fengfu with those subordinates first, there are newly built houses, I will arrange for someone to go back with them, how about it."
Hua Rong was overjoyed: "It's up to my brother." ”
Hua Xun pouted, but wanted to be with Yang Zhen'er.
Yang Zhen'er coaxed her: "You go to Fengfu and find Han Ying's little lady, she is about the same age as you, her personality is the same as you, she can hit stones, and there are five elements immortal dramas to watch, it is much more fun than going to the capital, and when I come back, I will teach you to play with guns." ”
Hua Xiaomei was happy and began to inquire about the situation of Han Ying's little lady.
The next day, Liu Jing called Hou San and Hou Biao, told him about the situation, and asked who was willing to take someone back, Hou San asked Hou Biao to go back, and Hou Biao was a real person, so he agreed.
Hua Rong took his family and subordinates to clean up the soft and soft, and the stupid ones were abandoned, and before noon, the middle hall was hung up, and the whole team was put together and left the village.
There is a lot of movement here, Liu Zhizhai and his wife peeked in their own small village, saw that they left together, and they didn't come back at night, so they went to Huarong's small village to check.
Du Tou came back and said: "It's all gone, the official seal is hung on the hall, and it is taken away softly, leaving only some rough furniture." ”
Zhizhai and his wife went to check together, and sure enough, they went to Zhaikong. ”
Liu Gao said: "I don't know what means that guy used, but he actually asked Dao Zheng to take the whole gang to take him in." ”
Mrs. looked resentful and viciously and said: "What other means can you use, you must have dedicated your sister to Liu Jing's house, what kind of robbery did that guy talk about, it turned out that he just liked beautiful girls." ”
The two waited for a day, and then they occupied the stockade.
However, it was said that Liu Jing and the others went out of the village and did not go to Qingzhou, and the people and horses returned to Qingfeng Mountain, and they parted ways at the fork in the road.
Hou Biao led the archers, brought a lot of gold and silver, and returned to Fengfu with Huarong Village.
Liu Jing and his entourage walked for another three or five days, and when they arrived in Yanggu County, they settled down to rest, and heard that everyone was talking about Dutou Wu Song, fighting and killing Ximen officials, and avenging his brother.
When everyone heard this, they sighed with emotion, and continued to rush the next day, traveling for more than 50 miles, and a big mountain blocked the way.
There was a Taoist chief who recognized it and said: "This place is changed to Dulonggang, and further on, it will go out of the Shandong boundary and arrive at Zhongzhou Henan."
Liu Jing heard this, and sneered on the horse: "Hehe, Dulonggang, Zhujiazhuang, and Sanzhuang joint defense, I really don't want to save these people!" ”
Hua Rong and Shi Wengong, one left and one right, asked in unison: "This place is also going to be robbed?" ”
"Yes, not only robbed but also exterminated." Liu Jing said with emotion. He pointed to the three hills in front of which were covered with houses.
Shi Wengong asked, "Then why doesn't the prime minister want to save these people?" ”
"The main thing is that there are no good things in it, you see that the middle is called Zhujiazhuang, the west is Hujiazhuang, and the east is Lijiazhuang. In these three villages, there are always 120,000 military and horse families. ”
"The Zhu family itself is a local family-style gangster bully, coercing two younger brothers, Li Jiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, black and white collusion, dominating the territory of Dulonggang, and in that Zhujiazhuang, even a shopkeeper is arrogant." Liu Jing said.
Hua Rong pouted: "Then it doesn't matter what he does, and he should be broken by thieves sooner or later." ”
Liu Jing sighed: "The main reason is that there is a good teacher there, whose martial arts are slightly worse than Lao Shi, and the Hujiazhuang is a little miserable, and he surrendered and was wiped out, so he ran away, and his sister was captured and married to a shameless obscene man." ”
"Which lewd man?" Shi Wengong asked.
"It's the same Wang Ying you shot his ass in Qingfeng Mountain."
Everyone was stunned and laughed together, and Shi Wengong also shook his head: "It seems that it is best to save that girl." ”
"Anyway, it's not early, let's go to Hujiazhuang to find an inn to rest for a night, and by the way, let's see what the road is."
After speaking, he led everyone to the front of the village, found an inn near the moat, and tied it all under the willow tree.
The shopkeeper saw that there were a lot of outsiders, and hurriedly came out to ask.
Hou San took Liu Jing's capital eunuch waist card, and said to the shopkeeper: "We are the officers and soldiers who came from Fengfu, going to the capital on business, and we will fight here for one night. ”
The shopkeeper saw that it was a passing officer and soldier, so he hurriedly entertained him, first arranged a guest room, and then called two live sheep to entertain the military master, and asked Xiao Er to secretly go to tell the prince.
The mutton was boiling in a cauldron, and it was still early to cook, and everyone sat on the tables and chairs outside the store, saying something close to themselves.
I saw a group of people and horses coming in the direction of Zhujiazhuang, making the dirt road smoke and dust billowing out.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a team of female soldiers, the first female general, the cicada sideburns and golden hairpins were double-pressed, and the phoenix shoes and stirrups were slanted. The chain armor is lined with red yarn, embroidered with willow waist and crossed, and a pair of sun and moon double knives are in hand, which is very stylish.
But his face was full of pride, he didn't look at people with his eyes, and when he saw Liu Jing and others, he just glanced at them, and then crossed the suspension bridge and rode into the village.
Several people touched their elbows together, and Hua Rong sneered: "This is that little girl's skin, sure enough, her heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper." ”
Yu Baosi spat thick phlegm on the ground: "Bah, the frog at the bottom of the well, I'm afraid that even the young lady can't beat one move, where does the confidence come from to be arrogant." ”
was fed a mouthful of dust, and everyone was there, scolding and scolding.
At this moment, the shopkeeper came over and said respectfully: "The princess asks the governor to continue the conversation." ”
Liu Jing got up and patted the dust on his body, pulled Hua Rong, and followed the shopkeeper into the village.
Hu Taigong Zhongtang greeted him, and asked the two officials, I heard that one is the capital eunuch, and the other is the Zhizhai, both of whom are small military attaches from the eighth rank to the ninth grade, and they only went to the capital on an errand for a certain prime minister, so they didn't take it seriously.
After a polite time, he asked the dealer to take out a plate, on which were placed two ingots of silver, a total of ten taels, saying that it was to send the two ministers to eat wine, and then serve tea to the guests.
When he went out, Liu Jing took the small silver ingot of five taels and counted it in his hand playfully.
"This is to send us away as a flower child who came to fight the autumn breeze, I thought I had to treat us to a meal." Hua Rong teased.
"It looks like you and I are not qualified enough." Liu Jing said with a smile.
He Huarong walked out of the village, glanced at each other, and threw the two ingots of silver into the moat together.
