Twenty-six, Xunjing

The children's exam is really only a matter of time for Shi Qi, Dao Zhen has his hair up, and he accompanies Shi Qi to participate in it like ordinary people, he took the opportunity to inquire that his family's previous house is now Ouyang Ximu's third son, and Ouyang Zhaoyan occupies it. Ouyang Zhaoyan is patrolling the sky in the Sichuan-Shaanxi area. Dao Zhen took Shi Qi to approach, and on the way, he heard that Ouyang Zhaoyan's whereabouts were uncertain and heavily guarded, and it might be difficult to even meet with the strength of the two of them alone.

Shi Qi didn't know that Dao Zhen had such a big thing, he always thought it was to help him find a place to take the exam. One day, it was raining lightly, and the two of them found a place to rest and prepared to return to their home. Dao Zhen asked for some wine and meat, and Shi Qi asked in a low voice: "Master, you are now a layman, will you still be a monk when you go back?" Dao Zhen said: "Before shaving my hair, I thought that I couldn't stand the lonely shadow of the light, and I really started to practice, and my mood changed, people are animals of the environment, which step to go, which step to do, I may not shave my hair when I go back, and the master has bigger things to do." Now, if I don't want to drink meat, other people will think it's weird. ”

Shi Qi didn't drink it, Dao Zhen was tired for many days, he hated himself for not having the power to return to heaven, he didn't find any of his lost relatives, and he didn't have the ability to get rid of the enemy. Shi Qi helped him to go upstairs to sleep, when a scholar came over and asked, "This little brother, you are this gentleman's scholar, right?" Seeing how he drank like that, did he fall off the list again? The scholar's face was full of ridicule, Shi Qi looked uncomfortable, he said: "I am his scholar, but my master has not failed the list, we have never known each other, why do you say something unlucky?" ”

The scholar said: "Little brother, don't be angry, your master looks very kind, I'm here, I've met a lot of people during this period of time, I came back from the capital to take the exam, high school, it's a high-headed horse, and it's your master who is like this, go to a tavern, get drunk once." Shi Qi didn't tell him that he was taking the children's exam, he said: "We are a township exam, and my master has been lifted, but he doesn't want to make a noise, it's raining today, and it's rare to drink too much." As he spoke, he helped Michijin upstairs.

The scholar said: "This little brother may not understand the rules of the store, high school, a meal of wine and meat is 10 taels of silver, which is considered happy money, if you don't win, the wine in the store is free." You said that if your master wins, then pay 10 taels of silver, and I will not investigate your crime of pretending to be an official. Shi Qi was furious when he heard this, and he said, "Are you a black shop? I don't have that much money, the master is not awake now, wait until he wakes up and talk to him. The scholar said, "Well, I'll come tomorrow morning, and I'm not afraid you'll run away at night." After the scholar left, Shi Qi inquired about the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper told him that the rules that the scholar said were known all over the area, so the business of the tavern was not very good, and only those who had done it were on the road, and few local guests came.

Shi Qi was not very interested in these things, and in the middle of the night, after Daozhen woke up, he found that Shi Qi was sleeping soundly, and he found some water to drink and fell asleep again. In the morning, Shi Qi told him that a scholar wanted to extort money yesterday, but Daozhen didn't take it to heart. At this time, Xiao Er brought breakfast, and the shopkeeper told them that the Venerable Master of the scholar yesterday had carried a sedan chair for Ouyang Mansion before, and now that he was old, even the county master was afraid of him when he went home. Let Daozhen still prepare silver taels, otherwise he may suffer from flesh and skin, and after being beaten, he will have to send silver to his family, otherwise he will be detained.

Sure enough, when Daozhen was about to pack up and hurry, the scholar from yesterday came, and he said, "Haven't run yet? It's okay to run, my horse is fast, catch up. 10 Hurry up and hand over the two pieces of silver, I have other things, your scholar said that you were lifted, this is not something that can be said casually, if you lie, I will send you to the official, it is a great crime to falsify official documents. ”

Daozhen said: "Where did you come from, we just ate a meal, where to give you 10 taels of silver, we didn't come out with so many coils, and it was not enough to give it all to you." The scholar said: "Take everything you have, if it's not enough, only leave someone behind, I will send him to the official to watch, I don't want to pay for food, and when I have money, I will redeem people." Dao Zhen didn't pay attention to it, and after he finished breakfast, he said to Shi Qi: "Let's go, it's enough to give him six coins of silver according to the usual rules." ”

The scholar sneered: "Here, don't think about going like this, you don't inquire, uncle, I haven't given people loose skin for a long time." As he spoke, he gave Daozhen a horsewhip,

Daozhen thought that the village was rough, he didn't take it seriously, and he avoided it gently, but it scared him a lot, he thought that his skills, not to mention a horse whip, ten at the same time, would not stick to his body. But to his surprise, it was just a moment, almost on his waist. More surprised than him was the scholar, he put away the horsewhip and said: "I Hu Zuocheng don't dare to say that the whip is not false, but for so many years, I have wanted to fight, and there are not many people who can avoid a whip, it seems that I met it today." ”

Hu Zuocheng got off the horse, looked at the family behind him and said, "Now you know, right?" Why didn't they run away at night, it turned out that there were two hits. He turned to Dao Zhen and said: "Even if you really have three heads and six arms, you have to pay these ten taels of silver today, this place is surnamed Hu, don't say that you can do kung fu, you are the government, and you can't walk with your head here with me, unless your surname is Ouyang." ”

mentioned Ouyang, especially the current Hu Zuocheng, relying on his father to carry a sedan chair for Lord Ouyang, he could run rampant, which made Dao Zhen even more annoyed, he didn't know the details of the other party's manpower, just by virtue of Hu Zuocheng's first whip, he knew that the other party was not Fan Fan's generation. Dao Zhen looked at Shi Qi, Shi Qi was originally a young boy with good skills, but for some reason, his appearance looked like a weak scholar. Dao Zhen is not worried about his situation, but he came out for a purpose, and he doesn't want to delay in such a small matter, and if he doesn't get it right, it will ruin his big thing.

Daozhen said: "This strong man, we really didn't bring so much silver, and our family background is average, please raise your noble hand, he will be grateful in the future." Hu Zuocheng smiled and said: "There are many people who can say such things, but what do our brothers rely on to eat?" I want to rely on you to raise your son after high school, share some happy money, yesterday your scholar didn't say that you were admitted, I don't have to run in vain, you give some meat and vegetable money, wine is considered to be given by me, but he must say that you are in high school, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for your usual lack of discipline. ”

Shi Qi glanced at Dao Zhen, he wanted Dao Zhen to leave, he thought he had a way to get out, but Dao Zhen had learned Hu Zuocheng, and he knew that Shi Qi was not his opponent at his current age. Daozhen said: "Then let the scholar go back and report the news, and I will wait here for him to come back to redeem it." Hu Zuocheng said: "Don't cheat, you can't run away, I'll send you to the county government immediately, if the money doesn't come, you have to be careful of your own life, when you get there, not only give me ten taels, that place is not a free shelter." ”

Shi Qi obediently walked forward step by step, he knew that only when he left the other party's sight, Dao Zhen would not have any scruples to exert his ability. Dao Zhen looked at the three of them, and estimated that the other two would not be more capable than Hu Zuocheng, Hu Zuocheng had already been wary of him, and before he was ready to make a move, he had already tied one of his hands and was led by another family member.

Dao Zhen saw Shi Qi walking away, he just suddenly sped up a few steps, and he arrived in front of the person holding his hand, and with a quick blow, that person was far worse than Hu Zuocheng, not only let go, but also couldn't get up. Because Dao Zhen was on guard, he thought that there were no weak soldiers under the strong general, and he used more than seventy percent of his strength in the first move, but he didn't expect the other party to be so unbearable. Hu Zuocheng rode on the horse, he did not make a move to Dao Zhen, who was about to fight, he said: "I know you can run, but I can catch up with your scholar, you have the ability to knock me off the horse, otherwise, your scholar will not have the current fate." With a horsewhip in his hand, he did not move closer to Daozhen, and at the same time instructed the other family to go and see how the wound of the fallen one was.

Dao Zhen didn't expect that the family who was holding him actually turned his back under his blow, and when Hu Zuocheng arranged another check, another cry came out, and he told Hu Zuocheng that he was dead. Out of his life, Dao Zhen didn't dare to fight, turned around and wanted to run, he looked in the direction of Shi Qi, Hu Zuocheng rode a horse and followed behind, he said: "Now you can't run, you have a life, it's not a matter of silver." He crossed the horse in front of Daozhen, of course, Hu Zuocheng couldn't stop him, he not only had a body of kung fu, but also Niu Lixin taught him the ability to deal with animals.

Hu Zuocheng couldn't stop him, he told another family member to immediately report to the official to arrest Dao Zhen, of course, he didn't know the name, just let the family remember what Dao Zhen looked like. Hu Zuocheng chased in the direction of Shi Qi's run, he thought that after catching Shi Qi, he would be able to ask his debut real name, surname, and address, and at that time, he was not afraid that he would not be able to find him. Now it's different, Dao Zhen has a murder case in his body, he can't run, there is an official who calls the shots for him Hu Zuocheng, as long as there is information, he can let Dao Zhen return to the case.

Dao Zhen ran for a while, he deliberately changed his route, but Hu Zuocheng stopped chasing him, he had to run in the direction of Shi Qi again. Shi Qi heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Xiao Qi knew that the master had escaped, otherwise he would not be caught by the other party, so he stopped, tightened his shoelaces and sat on the ground. When Hu Zuocheng hit the horse and came to him, Shi Qi asked, "You are here, where is my master?" Hu Zuocheng said: "Get up quickly, your master has run away, you go back with me, he beat my people to death, if you don't tell him, you will have to fight for my dead family." When Shi Qi heard that he had really killed someone, he looked at Hu Zuocheng again, he stood up and sneered: "You think your horsewhip can scare people?" The master can let your family die, not for me to give your family life, but for you to accompany you. After speaking, he grabbed the horse's stiffness, flew up with both feet, and kicked Hu Zuocheng's heart.
