Chapter 11: The Bloody Greeting (I)
Without further ado, the two days passed quickly, and nothing happened in the meantime.
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Zhuang came to Li Jing's house, Li Jing called Li Jing again, and the three of them went to Li Jing's room to plot a big thing.
"Yesterday afternoon, I learned from a subordinate of the He family that He Zhiyao and Shen Wang, the son of the second master's family, agreed that in the evening of the day after tomorrow, they would take a car to the Huangbai River painting boat to find a thin horse from Yangzhou to relieve their boredom."
Speaking of the Yangzhou thin horse, Zhang Zhuang couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Since a few prostitutes came from Yangzhou, the people he knew, whether they were tolerance or ruffians, were thinking about what it was like to sleep with these women for one night.
"Second master?" Li Jing was a little confused, his historical level was limited, and he couldn't guess what this second master was.
"The second master is Shen Congmei and Lord Shen Dianshi in the yamen, doesn't Master Jing know?"
"Oh, no, isn't there a county lord and a master book under the county honor, how can it not be the turn of pawn history to be the second!"
Zhang Zhuang was a little impatient, if the previous Li Jing asked such a two-hundred-five question, he would definitely step forward and give him two slaps first, and then let him get out. And now this is a living star who is suspected of being a Wenqu star, pinching his lower body, how dare he make a mistake, and said patiently: "Master Jing may not have dealt with the people in the yamen, we don't have a county and a master book in Donghu, and the classic history is the second." ”
In the Qing Dynasty, there were only more than 300 county officials and more than 50 master books in nearly 2,000 prefectures and counties across the country. Moreover, the county official does not work in the county office, he has his own station. For example, He Dachang's second son, Zhongxiang County, was stationed in Shipai Township, not the county seat.
According to the record of "Qing Historical Manuscript and Three Foreign Officials": the county and the main book, divided into the positions of grain and horses, taxation, household registration, and arrest. The canonical history is in charge of inspecting and inspecting prisoners, and there is no book, and he is also in charge of his affairs. Therefore, there is a saying that Zhang Zhuang is called Shen Congmei's second master.
Li Jing nodded, signaling that he understood, and then thought about how to kidnap He Zhiyao. He felt that he should do a field investigation.
Zhang Zhuang still has to go to Jinfeng Restaurant to watch, otherwise the big shopkeeper is likely to let him go. However, Li Jing did not let him go, and when he left, he asked him for two taels of silver, saying that he had invested in the early stage to buy some kidnapping. In addition, he asked him to prepare two short knives to use when tying people.
Zhang Zhuang casually took out two pieces of broken silver and gave them to Li Jing, and said with a painful face: "The little one is not rich recently, so Master Jing saves some money!" ”
Li Jing glanced at him and told him to get out.
Then, I went to Li Liu's room, after two days of recuperation, Li Liu's complexion was much better, Li Jing took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the third sister who was waiting on the side, and asked her to make up for Li Liu's delicious food.
The third sister took the money and went happily.
Li Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly, since Li Jing beat the second dog, now this family is already Li Jing's final say.
"By the way, have you finished copying Master Zhang's book?" Li Liu suddenly remembered that Li Jing helped Master Zhang's family in the east of the city copy books.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he still had to copy the book, and smiled awkwardly, "It's not that there are twelve days, there are still five days!" ”
Li Liu saw Li Jing's thoughts, "Son, since you woke up last time, my mother doesn't know you very much." In the past, you were like your father, you didn't want to do anything but study. However, now that it's the other way around, you seem to be doing everything except not studying. ”
Li Jing was embarrassed for a while, "Mother, the child is enlightened, and he knows that he is not destined to read, so he simply doesn't read." ”
Li Liu sighed, "If you really don't want to study, my mother won't embarrass you, if you don't want to copy the Diamond Sutra of Master Zhang's family, don't copy it, and return it to others." ”
Li Jing was overjoyed in his heart, and finally he didn't have to suffer. With a look of reluctance on his face, he said, "The child obeys the order, and he will return the book today." I just don't know which one Master Zhang is in the east of the city. By the way, I helped my mother quit her job, and the child will support her mother in the future. ”
Li Liu's eyes were filled with tears, and his son finally grew up and knew that he loved his mother.
Li Liu said the name and address of the old man, it turned out that this old man was called Zhang Shaoan, who had been a lifter, and had served three county magistrates and two county magistrates in other places, and now he resigned and went home to become a non-clerk.
said goodbye to Li Liu, went back and took the copied Diamond Sutra and wrapped it in white paper, and took Li Hui out of the door. When I went out, I met the third sister, so I smiled and said, "Take good care of my mother, and come back to bring you something delicious." ”
The third sister's happy eyebrows were crooked, "I still want to eat sweet cake, that sprout candy is too sticky, so don't buy it." ”
Li Jing touched her head, "Okay, your second brother and I won't come back at noon, you and your mother will eat." ”
The third sister nodded obediently, and went back to clean up and cook.
Li Jing and Li Jue went out and walked in the alley, everyone called Li Jing 'Jingye', and even Zhang Gui, who had practiced martial arts next door, was polite to Li Jing.
Walking out of the alley, I came to the Catholic church again, thinking of Ye Tiande, I didn't know if he had arrived in Sichuan, and I hoped that he could find a few useful foreigners to help him make guns and cannons.
Walking out of Baiyi'an Street, all the way to the east of the city, the further you go, the more neat and grand the houses become. Li Jing thought to himself, rich people should all live in this area!
Just thinking about it, Li Jue, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
Li Jing asked him, "Why don't you leave, have you arrived?" ”
Li Jue pouted at a courtyard not far in front, "That is He Dachang's home." ”
Li Jing looked in the direction of Li Junu's mouth, and saw a white wall surrounding a large courtyard with about thirty-four acres of land, and the lofts in the courtyard were exposed one after another, which looked so imposing.
"Mother's legs, so magnificent." Li Jing sighed.
Li Jue also said: "If I can live in such a big house in the future, I am willing to do as much hard work as I want." ”
Li Jing pursed his lips, "Don't embarrass the eldest brother, this house is a fart, and when the eldest brother has a successful career, I will build you ten sets of eight sets." ”
While talking, the two walked forward for a while, and finally arrived at Zhang Shao'an's house. Although Zhang Shaoan's home is not as grand as Dachang's family, it is not much smaller than He Dachang's home.
The two of them walked to the gate, and under the eaves sat a doorman. The man saw Li Jing and the two coming, but stood up and blocked the door, glanced at the two of them, and saw that the two of them were dressed coldly, thinking that they were relatives of one of the people in the house, so he said lukewarmly: "Why do you not understand the rules so much, find someone to go through the side door." ”
Li Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm looking for your master." ”
The man pursed his lips, didn't bother to speak, and directly stretched out his hand.
Didn't he say that only the men of the yamen ask for money, why does the door of a retired old cadre also want money, does anyone ask him to do something?
Li Jing said coldly: "Lao Tzu has no money. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, what a dirt bun, who asked you for money, I asked you to pay for it." ”
Nima!
Li Jing sweated, it turned out that he had misunderstood, and then he thought that it must be this disciple who deliberately corrected himself, and he looked at his jokes, so he was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't bother to pretend to be anything, "Lao Tzu didn't pay respect." ”
Menzi replied very simply: "There is no post, my master is gone, please go back!" ”
Li Jing was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, "Okay, grandpa, I'll write a message for you, a dog minion." ”
Menzi saw that Li Jing's tone was cold, and he subconsciously felt that some bad luck would happen to him, so he couldn't help but take a step back, "You, what are you going to do?" ”
At this moment, Li Jing rushed to him with an arrow, grabbed his braids, and before he could come back to his senses, he dragged him to the wall and slammed him against the wall, immediately bleeding.
Menzi screamed in pain, "Killed, killed." ”
Li Jing sneered, took out a piece of uncopied white paper from his arms, and reached out to stick blood on the head of the door, and wrote 'Li Jing, the son of Li Xiucai, resigned from his job as a surrogate' eleven crooked blood characters.
He blew the blood and smacked his lips, "You coward, don't you break a little skin, it's a big deal." ”
Before he finished speaking, several black-clothed men suddenly came out of the door, and among the black-clothed men stood an old man about fifty years old wearing a Confucian white robe.
When the man saw the old man, his courage rose sharply, and he was vicious to Li Jing, "Boy, you wait to go to prison." ”
Saying that, afraid that Li Jing would beat him again, he hurriedly slipped to the old man's side and said, "Steward Wang, you have to call the shots for the little one, this soil bun has no stickers, and I want to break into our Zhang house." The little one stopped him, I don't want this dirt bun to be very brutal, come up and grab my head and hit the wall, you always see that my head is broken!"
He kept talking, but the old man was a little impatient, stopped him, and asked a few black-clothed men who came with him to surround Li Jing and Li Jue
"Who are you, you dare to spread wild in my Zhang mansion, you don't understand the rules at all. If you don't tell a reason today, break your dog's leg and send it to the government. ”
Li Jing pursed his lips, after this period of non-stop practice of military physical boxing, he gradually regained the feeling of doing ten at a time when he was a soldier, three or five big men, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Li Jue on the side couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard the words of the king's steward, after all, he was a person who had been an official, and his eldest brother beat people first. Even if they really broke their legs, there would be no place to reason.
He walked up to Li Jing and whispered, "Big brother, what should we do." ”
Li Jing heard his fear from his tone, and frowned, you are stronger than Lao Tzu, why is your courage not half as big as Lao Tzu, it seems that you have to teach this cheap brother a few tricks when you go back, it is best to let him fight with others a few more times and practice his courage.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Jue with a straight face: "In the future, follow the eldest brother, this kind of scene will happen often, you have to learn to be calm." Even if there are thousands of troops on the other side, you must have the courage to fight, which is worthy of being a good man. ”
Although Li Jue didn't seem to understand what he said, it didn't prevent him from listening to it enthusiastically, and he nodded at Li Jing, "Big brother, I understand." ”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, rushed to the front of Li Jing, learned the momentum of Mr. Storyteller when he talked about the Three Kingdoms, and shouted: "Get out of your mother's egg, Lao Tzu's surname is Li Mingju, and you have the ability to come up and fight for your master for three hundred rounds." ”
Li Jing sweated profusely, and said in his heart that his mother was not brainwashed too much, and this kind of idiot said it.
