Chapter 256: I Didn't Count
Compared with when he came, Chen Zheng on the return trip can be regarded as a full return.
There were more people in the carriage, and there were a few more boxes full of belongings, which was naturally much heavier.
Although Chen Zheng's carriage had a galloping attribute bonus, it was still slower than when he came.
However, Chen Zheng's mood at this time was naturally different from before.
Now Yue Xiaorong is sitting next to Chen Zheng, and with the bump of the carriage, the two of them bumped into each other, and they collided on their bodies, which was very comfortable.
Just as Chen was enjoying this comfortable journey, he felt that the carriage had stopped.
Before Chen Zheng could ask, Wei Dayong outside said: "The owner of the village, uncle, someone stopped us in front?" ”
Chen Zheng frowned and asked, "Who dares to be so bold?" Is it a robber? ”
The people of Qianyang Mansion are fierce, and it is really common to meet a robber or something on the road, not to mention that this is still a mountainous area, no wonder Chen Zheng thinks so.
However, outside Wei Dayong shook his head and said, "It's not a robber, it's someone from the government." ”
Chen Zheng frowned, and said to Wei Dayong: "Let Brother Lu negotiate and see what they are going to do." ”
Wei Dayong agreed, and then said a few words to Lu Renjia, and Lu Renjia got off the other carriage and walked towards the people from the official mansion opposite.
Lu Renjia came to the other party and looked at a total of ten people, six of whom were officials of the yamen, and the remaining four were sedan chair drivers, carrying a small sedan chair, presumably there was an official sitting inside.
Lu Renjia clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said loudly: "Lu Renjia, a county magistrate in Dongyang County, Xiahongjiang Prefecture, came to Loudi County, Guifu to handle the case, and now the prisoner has been arrested and is about to go back. ”
As he spoke, Lu Renjia waved his hand towards the carriage behind him, and Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi escorted Yang Xu out and showed his head to prove that what Lu Renjia said was right.
"Dongyang County? Hum! The person in the sedan chair responded, but Lu Renjia could hear that it was a bad response.
Lu Renjia didn't know who was sitting inside, so he had to say again: "You and I are both on an errand for Liang Guo, let's do business, I hope this adult will not embarrass us, and when we return to Dongyang County, we can convey the convenience of the adult to Lord Li and Lord Feng, the prefect." ”
"You are a little fast hand, are you also worthy of talking about business with this official?" The person inside said contemptuously, "It's almost the same to let Feng Xueyong say this." ”
Hearing that the people inside dared to call Feng Xueyong, the prefect of Hongjiang Mansion, by his name, Lu Renjia was startled, he didn't know who was sitting inside.
Chen Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, also saw that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them, so he said to Wei Dayong: "Go and talk to Brother Lu, and ask him to show the other party the official letter of the cross-state pursuit." ”
Wei Dayong nodded, got off the carriage, came to Lu Renjia's side and said, "Uncle said, let me take out the official letter of cross-state pursuit and show it to him." ”
Lu Renjia nodded, took out the official letter from his arms, took two steps forward, and said, "This is the official letter that we pursued across the state, and I hope this adult will see it." ”
Lu Renjia handed it forward, and naturally there was an official on the opposite side who followed, and then handed it to the person in the sedan chair.
The people inside looked at it for a while, snorted coldly, threw the official letter out of the sedan chair, and said, "What else is there in your carriage besides human criminals?" ”
"Nothing else!" Lu Renjia directly denied it.
The person inside finally couldn't sit still, directly lifted the sedan curtain, walked out by himself, and said, "Nothing else?" Are you demonic? If you look at your rut marks, you are so deep in the ground, it means that there must be heavy objects on the car, and you can't be honest? ”
Lu Renjia looked back, and sure enough, he saw four deep rut marks left behind, which were very obvious, no wonder this person didn't believe it.
Chen Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that this was too much of a coincidence, and he really met it.
Yue Xiaorong saw that Chen Zheng's expression had changed, and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong?" Do you know the man? ”
Chen Zheng nodded and said, "That person is Chen Xicheng, the former assassin of Hongjiang Mansion. ”
"Since this person has been an official in Hongjiang Mansion, doesn't he give us some convenience?" Yue Xiaorong asked.
Chen Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The lady doesn't know, this Chen Xicheng doesn't deal with Lord Feng, the prefect of Hongjiang Mansion, and he doesn't look down on Lord Li of Dongyang County, the reason why he came to this Qianyang Mansion where birds don't is because of the disagreement with Lord Feng and Lord Li. ”
Yue Xiaorong frowned and said, "He won't make it difficult for us, right?"
"He's going to make things difficult for us!" Chen Zheng said firmly.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Zheng's words fell, Chen Xicheng outside waved his hand and shouted: "Search this official to see what contraband they have in their car!" ”
"Yes!" The six servants answered their promise and were to go to the carriage.
Lu Renjia was shocked, he didn't expect that this person would be so unreasonable, he had already shown him the official letter, and he even had to search the carriage.
It's no wonder that Lu Renjia doesn't understand, if he knew that the person opposite was Chen Xicheng, who didn't deal with their county commander Li Gang, Lu Renjia wouldn't be so surprised.
Wei Dayong leaned forward and shouted, "I see who dares!" ”
This carriage not only has the property of the pirates found out, but also the owner of its own village, how could Wei Dayong let these rough people disturb her?
Chen Xicheng raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Bold, are you going to rebel?" ”
Chen Zheng looked at this scene, couldn't sit still, patted the back of Yue Xiaorong's hand, and then got up and got out of the carriage.
"I have long heard that people in Qianyang Mansion love to eat dog meat, and even there are more dogs than people in Qianyang Mansion." Chen Zheng pulled down and said, "Now it seems that it really deserves its name!" ”
Chen Zheng walked up to Wei Dayong, patted him on the shoulder, signaled that he didn't need to be too nervous, and continued: "Look, after we finished our business and walked back, we could even encounter the situation of the rabid dog barking day. I don't know whose dog was not leashed, but he stopped in front of our carriage and barked, not afraid of being dragged away, and made dog meat hot pot? ”
"Haha!"
Wei Dayong and Lu Renjia laughed when they heard Chen Zheng's words, knowing that he was scolding the person in front of them.
Chen Xicheng couldn't hear it, an old face turned red with anger, pointed at Chen Zheng and shouted: "Good boy, who are you scolding?" ”
Chen Zheng glanced at Chen Xicheng and said leisurely: "Second Brother Wei and Brother Lu, I have heard that there are people who pick up money, ears of wheat, and dung balls, but this is the first time I have seen someone pick up and scold. ”
"Haha!"
Wei Dayong and Lu Renjia laughed again, making Chen Xicheng angry enough!
"Boy, you offended someone you can't afford to offend, you know!" Chen Xicheng said angrily.
Chen Zheng spread his hands and responded: "Lord Chen, you are a noble person who forgets things, don't you remember to be in the next place so soon?" ”
"Do you know this officer?" Chen Xicheng was a little surprised, looked Chen Zheng up and down, and felt a little familiar.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Have you forgotten?" At that time, when we gave Dongyang County Ling Li a birthday, we met. ”
As soon as he said this, Chen Xicheng remembered and pointed at Chen Zhengdao: "It turned out to be you, the little carpenter in Dongyang County." ”
"It turns out that Lord Chen still remembers it, and I feel deeply honored to be here!" Chen Zheng said very politely.
Chen Xicheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet Chen Zheng in Loudi County, Qianyang Mansion.
Chen Zheng went to Kyoto to sacrifice sea whalebones, he knew about it, after all, this was really within the Liang Kingdom at that time, and the Di Bao was released.
However, after all, there is a news blockade here in Qianyang Mansion, and he doesn't know about some specific things, he just thinks that Chen Zheng is accompanying him as a craftsman, and he didn't expect him to be the protagonist of the incident at all.
"Since you know this official, don't you obediently get out of the way, let this official search your carriage!" Chen Xicheng snorted coldly.
Chen Zheng had a smile on his face and said, "It's because I know Lord Chen that I can't let you search for it!" I'm doing this for your own good. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Xicheng asked.
Chen Zheng said very mysteriously: "Lord Chen, what is good for you is good for you, there are some things, don't ask, your level is not enough, you know too much, but it is not good." ”
Chen Xicheng was stunned for a while, and reacted for a while before he realized that he was being teased by this Chen Zheng again.
Chen Xicheng was furious, waved his hand, and said, "Why are you stunned, search for me!" ”
Seeing this posture, Lu Renjia hurriedly beckoned Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi to get out of the car, and the three of them protected the carriage behind them.
Chen Xicheng saw that these people dared to resist, snorted coldly, and said, "Give this official a careful search!" If you dare to resist, you will be punished according to the rebellion, and you will be killed on the spot! ”
Lu Renjia and the others were shocked when they heard this, this Chen Xicheng was too ruthless, he actually treated them as anti-thieves and killed them directly, even if Dongyang County and Hongjiang Mansion redressed them in the future, it would be too late.
Chen Zheng was not frightened, but said with a smile: "Brother Lu, guard the carriage." Second Brother Wei, whoever dared to approach the carriage first, was beaten to death, so that his mother couldn't recognize him. ”
Wei Dayong grinned, rubbed his fists, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I haven't fought for a long time, and these iron fists have long been hungry and thirsty." ”
Yang Xu, who was tied to the carriage, listened to Wei Dayong's words and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you just fight with me before?" Forgot about it so quickly? ”
Wei Dayong was stunned, it seemed that there was really such a thing, but it was impossible for him to admit it.
"The time I was with you before, it was a little too fast, and I didn't feel cool at all, this time it's different, I want to have a good time!" Wei Dayong responded.
Yang Xu snorted lightly and said, "That's because I was plotted, and my kung fu has not been exerted in less than one percent, otherwise it may not be who is trampled on the ground." ”
"Yo, it seems that you are very unconvinced, wait for an opportunity to completely convince you!" Wei Dayong said with a smile.
Chen Xicheng looked at it, the other party didn't seem to take them seriously, and when he was talking about it, they were all talking there, which was really unreasonable!
It's so disrespectful!
"What are you doing in a daze, come on!" Chen Xicheng urged.
It's just that the errand officer next to Chen Xicheng couldn't help but be a little afraid when he saw Wei Dayong rubbing his fists together, and no one wanted to be the first to step forward.
If you are really beaten so that you can't even recognize your mother, how miserable it will be!
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for nearly a cup of tea!
Chen Zheng couldn't help yawning and said, "I said Lord Chen, these people under you can't do it, why don't anyone dare to go up, if not, we'll go first, the road is far away, we are in a hurry." ”
"Whoever is the first to go up will be rewarded with a tael of silver!" Chen Xicheng shouted.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, Chen Xicheng shouted this, and immediately two or three people were ready to move, but they were still weighing the pros and cons, and did not rush up immediately.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly, is this to compare financial resources with himself?
Excluding his own industry in Dongyang County, just the property in the carriage behind him, it is estimated that Chen Xicheng can't compare.
"Brother Lu, if you knock down one person, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Chen Zheng said slowly.
As soon as they heard this, Lu Renjia, Bu Zhongyao, and Mei Guanxi suddenly raised their spirits, and looked at the poor official opposite, not like an opponent, it was simply silver.
Chen Xicheng was a little helpless, it seemed that he couldn't compare with financial resources, but he had other advantages.
"Take the other party, I'll turn you positive!" Chen Xicheng said, "It is the bad official who made you a poor official in Qianyang Mansion!" ”
Chen Zheng was stunned when he heard this, feeling that these six people are still temporary workers, no wonder the execution is so poor.
When the four people in charge of carrying the sedan chair heard this, they were also a little moved, and asked, "Lord Chen, do we have this opportunity?" ”
When Chen Xicheng heard this, he glanced at the four of them with disdain, and said with a crooked face: "You are just a little sedan chair driver, and you dare to be a servant, it's just whimsical." ”
When the four palanquin men heard this, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, and began to think about how to make this high-ranking and despised thorn master suffer a little loss.
The temptation of turning into an official is obviously greater than the temptation of one or two pieces of silver, but I saw that one person finally couldn't help it, shouted, and said, "I'm here!" ”
The man ran straight towards the carriage where Chen Zheng was, first, he was closer, and second, Lu Renjia and they were farther away.
When passing by Wei Dayong, the man made a fake move, and when he saw that Wei Dayong did not react, he was happy in his heart: It seems that this big man is just the kind with developed limbs and a simple mind, and he deserves to get this positive welfare.
However, when the man approached the five-step range of the carriage, Wei Dayong's eyes suddenly widened, and he burst into a loud shout, and suddenly burst out of place and rushed towards the man.
The man, who was still complacent about approaching the carriage, suddenly felt a wind in the back of his head, and when he turned to see what was the matter, he saw only a huge fist coming towards him in the face.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the man was directly blinded, but this was not the end, and immediately after, Wei Dayong's rainy fists all came up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Uncle said that he was going to beat the first person who approached the carriage, and the reason why he didn't beat you just now was because you were still far away from the carriage." Wei Dayong then said, "You still think you really deceived me, you don't have any count in your heart!" ”
Bang!
