Chapter 10: Revenge on each other
The day gradually dawned, and the children of the Xiang family, who had slept on the ground at Uncle Xiang's house all night, got up one after another, and Xiang Kang was also woken up by Xiang He who was sleeping next to him, and then before Xiang Kang finished yawning, the second uncle and aunt who got up first to cook hurriedly came in from outside the door and said in a low voice: "Zhuang'er, you go and take a look, there are still people guarding outside the courtyard, it seems that they are guests who often eat at Feng Zhong's house." ”
Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly went out to check the situation, while Xiang Kang stretched his waist and said to the second uncle: "Uncle, it's okay, there was such a big movement last night, and it's strange that no one is staring outside the courtyard today." Rest assured, they don't dare to mess around without evidence. ”
The second uncle nodded randomly, but her face was still sad, obviously still worried that the matter would be difficult to conclude. As a result, at this time, Xiang Bo's second son Xiang You also hurriedly came out of the inner room and said, "Second uncle, look at what is wrong with my mother, she seems to have a fever." ”
The second uncle and aunt panicked when they heard this, and hurriedly entered the inner room to check the situation of the third uncle, Xiang Kang also followed, and saw that the third uncle and aunt lying on the couch had a really abnormal face, and there was a moan in the voice of the second uncle, and he hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"My head is a little dizzy, and my body is shaking badly." The third uncle and mother groaned and replied, and asked in a low voice, "Kang'er, has your Uncle Ji gone away?" ”
"I must have gone far, otherwise, Feng Zhong and Na Wu Youyi would definitely come to arrest people and confront them." Xiang Kang analyzed, asked the second uncle and aunt again, and learned that the third uncle's forehead was indeed very hot, so he hurriedly said to Xiang You: "Brother, quickly, let's go to the medical worker together, the third uncle and aunt should really be scared by what happened last night." ”
Xiang You agreed, and went out with Xiang Kang to find a doctor to treat his mother, several children of the Xiang family wanted to follow, but Xiang Kang stopped him and said, "No need, I can just go with Xiang You, you are guarding the third uncle and mother here." Remember, no matter how much people ask, they don't know. If Feng Zhong and that You want to take people, they need to take out the evidence first, and the rest will be talked about when I come back. ”
Although the age is on the young side among the children of the Xiang family, after what has happened in the past few days, Xiang Kang has unconsciously established a certain prestige among the children of the Xiang family, so the children of the Xiang family not only did not object, but also nodded in agreement. Xiang Kang asked Xiang You to take a silk horse from Yu Gong, and then went out with Xiang You to find a doctor.
Sure enough, there were a few doormen who often ate at Feng Zhong's house outside the door, and when they saw Xiang Kang and Xiang You going out, someone immediately followed, Xiang You was inevitably a little nervous when he saw it, but Xiang Kang didn't pay attention to it at all, and pulled Xiang You all the way to the medical hall located on the set, and asked the doctor to treat his uncle under the supervision of Feng Zhong's eyeliner.
The cloth of this era can be used directly as currency, and the silk sent by Yu Gong is even more valuable, so after seeing the silk presented by Xiang You's hands, even though he knew that the Xiang family had an accident last night, the medical workers in the medical hall immediately took the medicine bag and followed Xiang Kang and Xiang You to Xiang's house for a visit. The result was not as Xiang Kang expected, because of the perennial hard work and illness, and last night I was quite frightened, the third uncle and mother really fell ill and was not lightly ill, but fortunately, it was found in time, and there should be no danger to life.
When the prescription was opened, and the second uncle and mother were busy boiling medicine for the third uncle and mother, there was a commotion outside the door again, and Xiang Kang hurriedly went out to check the situation again, only to learn that it was the two brothers Xiang Guan and Xiang Han who had been monitoring outside the hospital because they were dissatisfied with the doormen of Feng Zhong's family, and they had an argument outside the hospital, and they almost got into action. Xiang Kang knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went out and grabbed Xiang Zhuang, whose hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you can't be fooled, this time to do it is to give Feng Zhong a reason to arrest you for questioning." ”
"Then what should I do if these bitches keep staying here?" Xiang Guan pointed to the few doormen who were in charge of monitoring his house and asked, "As soon as you go out, you will follow, and you will not let us live?" ”
Glancing at the few Feng Zhongmen guests with ill intentions on their faces, Xiang Kang said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with them, but don't do anything with them." If I'm not mistaken, Feng Zhong should have let these disciples he usually raises deliberately provoke us to do it, so that we are guilty of private fighting, and Feng Zhong will have a reason to arrest us and ask for confessions. ”
Qin Shi's legal private fight is not a light crime, Xiang Guan has usually seen unlucky people who were arrested and imprisoned for fighting and injuring people, listening to Xiang Kang's words, it was inevitable that he was a little hesitant, Xiang Kang took the opportunity to pull and pull, and dragged him and Xiang Han back to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door, Feng Zhong's doorman laughed loudly in the back, deliberately wanting to provoke the children of the Xiang family, but Xiang Kang turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.
Of course, the matter will not end like this, at noon, the third uncle and aunt who took the medicine had just retreated, and Feng Zhong's deputy Qiu Thief came to the Xiang family brothers with two pavilion guards, and asked the Xiang family brothers to show the deed of the two silk horses yesterday, and directly said that if the Xiang family brothers could not explain the source of the two silks, they would be arrested.
There is indeed a Qin law that stipulates that the purchase and sale of goods must be evidenced by deeds, and without the coupons, the government will have reason to suspect that the source of your things is illegal, and it will be investigated at least and questioned at worst. Therefore, Xiang Kang had no choice but to hold Xiang Zhuang and the others who were thunderous, slowed down his voice and carefully explained the source of the silk to the thief, and promised that if Yu Gong did not admit that the silk was given by him, he would be willing to accept the guilt.
"This is what you said, this official will immediately send someone to Yan Jiting to investigate, if Yu Gong said that there is no such thing, don't blame this official for taking people to ask for guilt."
With a sinister smile, he threw down this sentence, and the thief led the two pavilion guards away in a big way. And then naturally, as soon as they left on the front foot, the grumpy Xiang Guan and Xiang Han and others scolded their mother on the back foot, Xiang Zhuang also frowned and said to Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, it's not a way to go on like this, Feng Zhong's son of a son of a girl has made it clear that she wants to fix us, if we continue to tolerate it like this, the person surnamed Feng will definitely only gain an inch, and find a way to bully us." ”
"Of course not." Xiang Kang replied: "If I guessed correctly, even if Feng Zhong found out that the two silks were indeed given to us by the Yu family, he would not end this matter, but would only find another way to catch us and force us to explain the whereabouts of the third uncle." Maybe they will beat the idea of our Xiang family's daughters and find an excuse to arrest our uncle and mother for questioning. ”
"What then?" Xiang Zhuang hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, I've already figured out a way to deal with that Feng Zhong, but today the third uncle and mother suddenly fell ill and needed our care, and I didn't want to do it immediately." Xiang Kang replied with a smile, and said, "As long as you listen to my arrangement and do what I do." I can guarantee that it won't be long before Feng Zhong will have to stop obediently, and maybe he will come to the door to apologize and apologize to my uncle and brother. ”
"What's the solution?" Xiang Guan next to him hurriedly asked, and said, "Did you pull that Feng Zhong out and beat him violently?" ”
"Don't come nonsense, I would have beaten me a long time ago if I could have beaten me, and I still have to wait for you to do it?" Xiang Zhuang scolded, and asked Xiang Kang again: "Xiang Kang, what way?" Say, as long as it works, we'll listen to you. ”
"Guaranteed to work." Xiang Kang replied confidently and said with a smile: "From tomorrow, our brothers will be divided into groups of two and ...... all the time. ”
…………
Not to mention, in order to get evidence of the Xiang family's brothers' crimes, after asking about the source of the two silk horses, Feng Zhong really sent someone to hit a horse to Yanji Pavilion, which borders Shiling Pavilion, on the same day, and found Yu Jian, the current head of the Yu family, to ask if there was really such a thing. And although Yu Jian admitted that the two pieces of silk were indeed given to the Xiang family brothers, and did not cause new trouble to the Xiang family brothers, Yu Zhi, who had always seen that the Xiang family brothers were not pleasing to the eye, sneered and said to his father: "There is also a face to say that he will take advantage of the situation to give us the Yu family and help our Yu family solve the trouble." It's only been a little over a day, and a little pavilion chief has bullied them, and he doesn't even dare to put a fart? ”
"Look up at those broken kids." Yu Jian also sighed and said, "Let's take a look and see how those broken children solve this matter." Fortunately, there are not too many things we took out, even if we were deceived by those broken children, we could also be used as a way to ask for food, so we didn't need to be too distressed. ”
"A pig, a sheep and three chickens are still too little? There are more than a dozen jars of good wine, these things are thrown away in vain, my father doesn't feel sorry for me! This is the comment made by Yu Ji, the beautiful youngest daughter of Yu Jian, after knowing the situation, and her impression of Xiang Kang, who took the lead in eating and drinking, is even worse.
…………
Let's take a look at the situation on the side of Feng Zhong, the head of the Shiling Pavilion, it is exactly the same as Xiang Kang expected, although it was clear that the two expensive silk horses were indeed gifts from the Yu family to the Xiang brothers on the same day, but Feng Zhong, who was complained by his colleague Wu You because of the failure to arrest people, still refused to give up, patted the case of the pavilion and roared: "This matter is not over!" I must find a way to get the handle of those broken children and force them to explain the whereabouts of Xiang Bo's murderer. ”
"Pavilion Chief, why don't you find an excuse to arrest their two uncles and aunts and ask them?" The thief said very treacherously: "Those broken children are the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, and it is really difficult to deal with, but their uncle and mother are women, and they must be much less courageous, as long as they can ask something from their mouths, it will be much easier to clean up those broken children." ”
"Good idea." As soon as Feng Zhong heard the applause, he immediately instructed the thief: "Starting tomorrow, you will take people to keep an eye on their two uncles, and as long as you find an excuse, you will immediately arrest them for questioning." ”
begged the thief to agree, patted his chest and promised to complete the task, but Feng Zhong's mood did not improve much, and he still said to himself in his heart: "You have to speed up your movements, and quickly take the evidence of those broken children to make a contribution, otherwise, I'm afraid that my position as the pavilion chief will be saved." I'm new to this prefectural order, but I've been looking at me from the beginning. ”
The book explains that the reason why Feng Zhong, the pavilion chief of Shiling Pavilion, is so targeted at the children of the Xiang family, in addition to the duty to arrest Xiang Bo, who is on the run, another important reason is that he was unlucky this year, and he made two mistakes in succession when he was on an errand, which caused the newly appointed county magistrate to be very dissatisfied with his performance, and he had already released a message to remove him from his post and replace him with another person as the pavilion chief of Shiling Pavilion. Feng Zhong was naturally worried when he heard the news, in addition to doing everything possible to find a way to shoot Sima Fart, he also wanted to make meritorious service and protect his position quickly, so he cared so much about this opportunity. However, although Feng Zhong's abacus played beautifully, what he never expected was ......
The accident suddenly appeared in the early morning of the next day, after a night of sleeping soundly with his wife who was not too ugly, the next morning, when Feng Zhong was still eating breakfast, there was a pavilion guard outside the door to report, saying that Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You, who were among the children of the Xiang family, did not know what medicine they had taken wrong, so they ran to the door of the pavilion early in the morning to guard, squatted next to the door of the pavilion to play Liubo, asked them what they were doing and did not answer, and did not drive away.
"Is there such a thing? What do they want to do? ”
Feng Zhong heard the strangeness, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth and went out, and went to the door of the pavilion to check the situation in person, and sure enough, Xiang Zhuang, who is currently recognized as the best among the children of the Xiang family, and Xiang You, the second son of Xiang Bo, are really squatting next to the door of the pavilion playing Liubo, which is similar to military chess. Feng Zhong was puzzled, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"No eyes? Don't see us playing chess? Xiang Zhuang raised his head and asked very politely, looking at Feng Zhong with fierceness in his eyes.
"This is the gate of the pavilion! Where thieves are caught, who allows you to play chess here? Feng Zhongyu asked.
"Dare to ask the superiors, that law says that you are not allowed to play chess next to the gate of the pavilion?" Xiang You asked angrily, "In your way?" Or are you in the way of catching thieves? ”
"It's ......."
Feng Zhong was speechless, and he really couldn't think of anything to refute Xiang You for a while. As a result, at this moment, Xiang Zhuang suddenly pressed the hilt of the sword in his waist, and with a loud snort, his sword was unsheathed, and his eyes stared at Feng Zhong even more fiercely, like a fierce tiger and beast staring at a sheep! Feng Zhong, who had heard of Xiang Zhuang's skills, was shocked, and subconsciously took a step back, and while supporting the hilt of the sword on his waist, he asked with fear in his voice: "You ......, what do you want to do?" ”
"Nail shaving." Xiang Zhuang replied with a sneer, while really sharpening the nail of his left thumb with his sword, he squinted his eyes and asked Feng Zhong, "Pavilion Chief Feng, why are you afraid of being like this?" It's just cutting your nails, not your head! ”
