Chapter 127: Revisiting the Cave

Looking at the expressionless face of the white servant, Ma Da was angry: "Ma Liulang, if you don't coax him today, my brother's errand will be folded into it, without me, who will take care of you, a little white servant!" ”

Ma Liulang lowered his head and said, "Brother Ma, I know!" ”

Ma Da crooked his nose and said, "Do you know that you still dragged me out?" ”

Ma Liulang said: "Brother, it's useless to keep talking like this!" It only annoyed him. ”

Martha rolled his eyes and said, "Look at your light, you can tell me a way?" ”

Ma Liulang thought for a while and said, "Brother, we can't talk to him empty-handed. ”

Ma Dadao: "I'm not empty-handed, aren't I carrying two boxes of dim sum?" ”

Ma Liulang pouted, adding it together was less than fifty yuan, and he was embarrassed to say.

coughed and said: "Brother, it's time to put the silver anymore, as the saying goes, good iron is used on the blade, I feel that this baby is a master who does not suffer, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to give up some money!" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to spend money, Ma Da's face was entangled, Ma Liulang saw it, and secretly said "Knock the door", thinking that he had no relatives of this brother, a white servant in the yamen no one to take care of, even if he was not bullied, he couldn't get any good errands, so he had to coax him patiently: "Brother, as the saying goes, the wealth is ruined, and the disaster is transported!" This is not the time to save! After this time, there is nowhere to give money if you want to, don't regret it too late! ”

Seeing that he always persuaded himself to pay for it, Ma Da was unhappy at first, and after listening to him nag a few more words, he said resignedly: "If you pay for it, you don't pay for it, of course you don't feel distressed!" ”

As soon as he said a word, Ma Liulang immediately shut up, looking at his lonely expression, he was reluctant for a while, and then thought about how he had helped him solve a lot of things before, so he said with a smile: "Liulang, my brother can't talk too much, you don't have to be like me!" ”

Ma Liulang sighed and said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you don't know the situation at home, three old people are sick, five children in the winter only have two cotton clothes to wear, the eldest girl's frozen fingers are red and swollen, and I don't forget to stop knitting straw sandals, I really ......"

Seeing that he was choked up more and more when he spoke, and his eyes turned red, Martha hurriedly interjected: "Okay, Liulang, every family is the same these days, it was my brother's just now, don't you go to your heart, this errand is still important to me in the end, don't worry, my brother won't do stupid things, how much money is appropriate for you?" ”

This Ma Liulang studied private school for a period of time when he was young, and his grades were not bad, and he could count the names in every big exam, but then the family really had no money to study for him, so he dropped out of school, and took on everything in a mess, he was a man who supported the family, and his parents gave him an early marriage wife, so he had five children at a young age, because he had studied and his brain was more bright, so he was favored by the uncle in the family, that is, Ma Da's father, and helped him make up a sum of money and found an acquaintance in the yamen, and he was attached to an errand and got the status of a white servant.

Officially, although the status of the officials is degraded and classified as untouchables, this is not necessarily the case in life.

It's like the big eunuch in front of the emperor, the door of the big official's mansion, scolding behind his back, but who can't see the respectful shouting "master" on the surface?

There is no official who dares to shout "cheap slaves" at the door in front of the prime minister, these people are like fluff on dandelions, flying into the sky with wind energy.

The same is true for the yamen, behind which is the government, exercising the right to manage the people, there are only a few officials in the yamen, and they can be counted on their fingers, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, counting on the officials to do it, and it is strange if they are not tired to death, so more than ninety percent of the work in the yamen is done by these officials.

For ordinary people, the official servant, that is, represents the "official family", and can escort you away with an iron chain at any time, so the actual status is not low.

The reason why the reputation is low is because these officials have no formal money, so they can only borrow the power in their hands, make a large amount of black money, and skillfully snatch, coerce and squeeze all kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, just to get money, for the common people, as long as you don't want to rebel, then you have to be honest, and therefore the people have a bad opinion of the officials, and the officials also know, but someone has to do it, so they hit this gang of officials hard in terms of reputation and status, but in reality they have to rely on them.

Ma Da and Ma Liulang spent a lot of money for the status of the officials, and they have supported the family by this errand over the years, and no one in the yamen has taken care of them with a low status.

Liu Sanlang is also a servant in terms of identity, but there is an uncle who is a county lieutenant behind the family, and it is not a casual matter to rectify himself.

So the two of them had to bow their heads and give in for their own errands.

"Ma Liulang, what did you come up with after thinking about it for a long time?"

Seeing that his eyes were rolling, he didn't speak after thinking for a long time, and Ma Da, who couldn't wait, opened his mouth to ask him.

Ma Liulang coughed and said, "I estimate that money is indispensable!" ”

"Nonsense!" Martha's eyes were squinted, full of contempt.

Ma Liulang said embarrassedly: "Why don't we go in and talk to him?" ”

Ma Da sighed and said, "But that great monk won't let us meet him!" ”

"This is easy to do," Ma Liulang said neatly: "Reward him with a few copper coins!" ”

Ma Da was stunned and said, "He is a monk!" Or a high monk! Can you ask us for money? ”

Ma Liulang pouted: "Fart monk, brother, didn't you listen to the scriptures that the monk recited?" ”

Martha asked, "What scripture?" ”

"The ears are pure, only chanting the Buddha, not a pillar of incense in the world!"

Ma Dadao: "Yes, doesn't this sentence mean that he is incorruptible and doesn't even have incense?" ”

"Brother, think again!"

Martha frowned and thought about it, he didn't guess the words, but he was not stupid, so he asked suspiciously: "Liulang, you mean, you mean he wants it too?" ”

Liulang nodded: "Since he finished reciting this Buddhist saying, as long as you praise him for his profound Buddhism, his face will change as if he is honest and watery, and in the end, he will directly knock on the wooden fish to drive people away, what does it mean?" ”

"You mean?"

Ma Liulang nodded and said, "It means that this Buddhist sentence should be understood in reverse!" ”

After saying a word, he waited proudly for Ma Da to praise himself, but he still couldn't hear him speak, so he turned his head to see him with a sad face, and quickly accepted his expression and followed him with a gray face and said: "So, I think that I have to give him some money, according to the practice of Li Tiangu of the Yamen, that is, a reward of a few copper coins, it should be regarded as a pillar of merit incense!" ”

Martha looked left and right, the two of them had spent most of the day here, and there was nothing else, so he sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go in and ask, how much silver can coax this young master!" ”

The two of them stomped their steps to get in, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, there was a neighing sound of horses behind them, and they quickly turned their heads to look, and saw Zhao Zhutou jumping off the horse, and running to the courtyard in a hurry with a waist knife.

"Hey, Martha! What are you doing here? ”

"It's Zhao Zhutou!" The two of them clasped their fists and laughed.

Zhao Zhutou had an urgent matter in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to talk to him, and the two of them usually didn't move, and the relationship was indifferent, otherwise the dog wouldn't have eaten him, and suddenly thought of playing the board, his face immediately darkened, and he didn't even return the salute, and he dropped a sentence in a weird way, "I beat him yesterday, and today I came to the door to break him, with a big heart with a needle!" ”

After saying that, he entered the house with a knife on his waist.

The two looked at each other, and Ma opened his mouth and said, "Did he misunderstand me?" ”

Rokuro nodded and said, "Hmm! ”

Inside the east house, Zhao Zhutou rubbed his hands and said, "Little dog, you can go with your brother, County Lieutenant Liu is waiting to be anxious!" ”

The dog pouted and continued to lie on his stomach without saying a word.

Zhao Zhutou said: "Brother has no choice, then Master Sun's judgment is not easy to stop, even County Lieutenant Liu!" ”

Seeing that he still didn't care about himself, he continued to coax: "As soon as we heard the news, we hurried over, and it took a lot of noodles to get through to his henchmen, and it cost a lot of money, your case, although it is only a few pennies, but if it is really true, this is also a reason to resist taxes and not pay, if it is not for us to exert our strength behind our backs, you will not be able to get out of prison this year without spending dozens of pieces of silver, and the soap class official who was executed also sold Liu Sanlang's face, don't look at only a few meals, if you want to implement the beating." , at least you won't be able to get off the kang for a month! ”

Seeing that he explained back and forth for a long time, the dog said: "Brother Zhao, I know that you helped me, but what I am angry about is that you didn't say that your name, everyone in Youchuan County has to give a little face?" Before the execution, one of his guards came to question, and I reported your name, originally he said that I was a little baby, as long as I went out for a while to make amends to Martha and admit my mistakes, and then make up fifty taxes, and I didn't have to go to court, this matter is over! ”

"Who knows, Brother Zhao, since he heard your name, his face was stinky, so he twisted his ass and left! That's why I suffered this pain, and I had to pull out my pants when I hit the board in the winter, which was cold and embarrassing! ”

Zhao Zhutou: ......

"That and that" didn't explain a word for a long time.

The dog continued: "Tell me about you, see me eating and beating with my bare buttocks, even if you don't help, you still laugh and laugh, 'little ass egg tofu is as white' If I heard it right, Brother Zhao, this sentence should be what you said!" ”

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly covered his face and shirked: "It's not me, it's Master Yao who said it!" ”

The dog laughed and said: "That's only two boards and it's red, and it's even shyer than the little lady!" Who said that? ”

Zhao Zhutou closed his eyes and said, "It's not me!" ”

The dog continued: "The ......"

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Little dog, just say it, what conditions do you have to follow me!" ”

Looking at the money bag around his waist, the dog: hey, hey, hey......

"Great monk, I'll go out, you stay at home!"

The idiot nodded, and he listened to the conversation in the room just now, word for word!

When they went out, they saw Ma Da and the two of them were still standing at the door in a daze, Zhao Zhutou and the dog didn't care about them, and the two of them turned over and shouted, "Drive"! The horses beneath him neighed, opened their hooves and ran away.

At the door, "Rokuro, I just saw him walking, and he didn't seem to be in pain at all?" ”

"Brother, he walked very neatly!"

The two glanced at each other, and Shi Dadao: "He's gone, what should we do?" ”

Shi Liulang sighed, pointed to the room, and said, "Isn't there a monk inside?" ”

It doesn't hurt, that's fake!

It's just that a normal person sits on a half-pulled saddle and is turned all the way, and his butt has to be torn up, not to mention that the dog's butt is still swollen.

Halfway through the run, I couldn't help it, and for the sake of the ass, the dog was like a sack, crawling sideways on the horse's back.

When Zhao Zhutou saw that the person had climbed up, he kicked his legs and shouted, "Drive!" ”

The dog also shouted, "My face! ”
