Chapter 375 Foggy Day
The weather has entered June, and the number of clothes worn on the body has to be reduced, but it should not be too thin, because the wind in the morning is still a little cold, and if you don't pay attention, you will get cold and wind, especially in the morning after heavy rain, the wind blowing in the air is damp and cool.
So the dog chose a slightly thicker shirt today, and when he went out, he looked at the thick fog shrouded in the street, thought about it, and then turned back to borrow an umbrella from the inn.
I happened to meet the post man who was having breakfast, and in a warm greeting, the dog knew that his good days of eating and living for nothing were coming to an end, and if he still wanted to live here, he had to pay for it.
People eat horses and chew a month down to get five or six taels of silver, and the dog's monthly income is only more than two taels of silver, so you can't live for a few days, fortunately, last month just received their own dividends from the Lizhou West Road Business Alliance, a total of fifty-six taels, originally there were two hundred taels of silver, but the business alliance expanded a circle, saying that it was to invest money to do business, and each family paid dividends and deducted these left.
Fortunately, the dog can also get another copy of Yulu from Wu Lan, who let the dog still have the errand of the Western Army.
Thinking of this, the dog suddenly remembered another thing, Youchuan Coal Mine, the county yamen said that he would give himself a hundred yuan every year, so he could have eight yuan every month, so he didn't rush to the academy first, and hurriedly walked to Su Mansion with an oil-paper umbrella, wanting to inquire if he could get it here in the state city.
This month, the dog comes every three or five times, the doorkeeper has already known the dog's appearance, and when he sees it from afar, he warmly greets him to the gatehouse, and pours a cup of tea for the dog to wait.
After a while, a little guy came over quickly and said, "The master is not finished yet, Xiao Langjun will take a break." ”
The dog looked up at the sky, and there was no reference in the fog, and it was not good for the academy to be too late, after all, today was the first day of formal class.
So the dog thanked the little guy and said to Menzi: "The kid is not in a hurry this time, I will go to school first, and then come to visit the general judge after school." ”
After hearing this, Menzi picked up a brush and crossed out the dog's name in the waiting list and said: "Xiao Langjun is not in a hurry, then go and get busy, and I will explain to him when I ask him." ”
The dog thanked him and turned around and walked out of the gate.
The road is foggy, the eyes are wide open and can only see the distance of seven or eight meters ahead, such a thick fog is the first time to see this year, the pedestrians on the road are like visiting in a fairyland, giggling and laughing.
The dog rode on the back of the big green mule, and he didn't dare to go fast, so he let the mule go.
Da Da Da, the hooves stepped on the stone road, making a crisp sound, coming out of the distance, but there was fog blocking, the pedestrians on the road "only heard its sound, not its face", got out of the way early, but did not see anyone coming, and the temper surged up!
"That grandson is running a horse on the road and breaking your dog's leg carefully!"
"That stinky rotten vegetable curses grandpa, there is a kind of saying to my face!"
"You lack virtue and dare to scream, the big stump will kill you!"
"Straight lady thief, I'm angry with a certain family, grandpa is a tolerance in the yamen, the person who scolds me has a kind of don't go, let a certain family try your dog guts."
"You black-footed dog, being a grandfather is stupid, there is a kind of you coming to me!"
"Poor master, poor master! There is a reckless man who just touched the slave's buttocks, and then ran away, you can help me catch him! Woowoo woo ......"
……
The fog obscured the field of vision, but also blinded the conscience that was about to move, many ruined people, with a rag to cover their faces and plunged into the fog, to do some unsightly things, in just one hour, Longzhou City, the state and county government received a large number of cases.
At most, the scoundrels steal some property, or flirt with women and women on the road, and the most rampant is the abduction of children's flower abductors.
Three or five people drove an inconspicuous carriage and ran away after robbing the children on the side of the road.
The first of these abductors is the beautiful little girl, followed by the Yanai of the rich family, and finally the children of ordinary people with sound limbs.
A woman like an aunt next door with two sturdy little men came to the dog, and when she arrived, the woman slowly approached the dog, as if she was going to ask for directions.
One of the two strong men went to lead the reins of the mule, and the other stood naturally behind the dog.
This abnormal behavior, of course, aroused the dog's vigilance, looking at the two men's waists bulging, one tugging on the reins, the other blocking the back road, the woman in the middle, although she was smeared with a thick layer of rouge gouache, and her voice was weak and messy, but the waist was no worse than that of an adult man.
If these three people come to the front, their lives will not have to be said, and at that moment the dog took out a small dagger from his arms, hid it in his sleeve and guarded it carefully.
"Xiao Langjun, Auntie doesn't know the way here, can you come down and show Auntie the direction?"
The dog glanced at the woman who deliberately pretended to be sad, and then looked at the strong man who was about to block the way, his eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart, it was at this time that the dagger in his hand was aimed at the butt of the big green mule.
Although the mule could not compare to the war horse, but the speed of the short-term run was not much worse, and the mule, which was originally walking leisurely, suddenly suffered pain, roared in pain, raised the hooves nailed to the horseshoe and crashed towards the big man in front of him.
Boom!
Yes!
In the end, manpower is not comparable to animal power, a loud noise accompanied by a scream, the man who blocked the way was knocked out more than five meters away by the big green mule, and rolled on the ground with his chest covered, and the two accomplices saw this, one went to drag the dog, and the other hurried to rescue the accomplice lying on the ground.
The dog laughed and shouted, "Drive!" ”
The mule ran away with the dog's wind, and disappeared.
In a few breaths, the three flower crutches were thrown in the dense fog behind them.
Daddy.
The wound on the mule's buttocks kept stimulating it to run forward, and the dog shouted several times and didn't see him stop, the speed was so fast, there was still a thick fog around him, maybe he had to hit somewhere, in order not to let himself fall down and get hurt, he had to hold the mule's neck tightly, let it run happily, and when it ran out of strength, it would naturally stop.
"Get out of the way, the mules are crazy, disperse!"
The dog was on the back of the mule, not just waiting, with its undulating body, shouting at the front of the voice.
Pedestrians on the road will avoid the side when they hear it, but some people will not dodge when they hear it, such as the official who is riding on a horse and scolding people.
Bang.
The two of them rode in pairs, and they both lay down on the ground.
Fortunately, the dog has been preparing, and while the two of them crashed into each other and fell to the ground, he tightly protected his head with his arms, although he rolled on the ground several times, but his body was not injured.
"Little cub, grandpa, you dare to bump into it, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, see if grandpa doesn't smoke you to death today!"
The dog, who had just rubbed his elbows and sat up, was carried in the air by the man who jumped out of the fog, and had to stare at him innocently.
"Hey, it's actually a scholar, boy, tell me whose house you are! In the foggy day, you dare to gallop on horseback, well, mule run, I have to send you to the yamen to eat in prison today. ”
This tone and attitude are very similar to the style of a black-footed dog, well, an official officer.
The dog looked up at this man, the official in the judgment hall, although he hadn't recognized it all, but at least he saw it familiar, the big man in front of him, he didn't have any impression at all, he must be the person from the Zhizhou Yamen next door.
Thinking of this, the dog hurriedly arched his hand and asked, "My brother is from the yamen?" ”
The big man glanced at the dog with a sneer and said, "How scared, don't worry, grandpa will make you afraid of running around on the road for the rest of your life." ”
After speaking, he turned over with the dog and led his horse.
The dog hurriedly said: "Brother, you let the little brother down first, I have a big fortune here waiting to be given to you!" ”
"Shout, you kid is so bold and rich, it seems that grandpa is really not at ease if you don't check your background."
As soon as the dog heard him, he knew that he had misunderstood, and struggled to take out his tooth tag from his arms with his hand and said, "Wait brother, the kid is an official under Su Tong's judgment, not a thief!" ”
"Su Tong's sentence?"
The big man stopped with a puzzled face, let go of the dog and let the dog down, then took the tooth card and looked at it twice and said:
"Little brother, since you are also an official, how dare you run fast on the street, isn't this asking for trouble for the general judge?"
Now that he has a helper, the hateful abductors can't let them go, so the dog urges him with an anxious face: "Brother, it's too late to explain, get on the horse and follow me to arrest the traffickers!" ”
This fog is the sudden heavy rain last night, the air suddenly became cold, the formation of the rain, last night this rain covered the entire territory of Longzhou, but the foggy days only appeared in the vicinity of Longzhou city for more than ten miles, like Youchuan County, is the scorching sun.
The common people described the officials as "blue sky and white sun", which means that they are like looking at things during the day, they are open, clear and honest, and they do not let a prisoner escape, nor do they wronged an innocent person.
But expectations are just expectations, and people's hearts are very easily deceived by the external environment.
When the people who were arrested in the two villages heard that a big official from the state wanted to uphold justice for themselves, they were so excited that they rushed to the yamen to wait for the good news.
"Three Shangguan, this case is the cause of this incident, we are forced to deal with it like this, you see, the road explained that we will settle the people of Tangjia Village, and we can't get to the pool, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there are no five hundred acres of paddy fields in the county, so I have to requisition in the nearby village, some time ago the state apportioned a large number of money to help the army, and it took a long time for the officials to borrow it to finally get together, and now where is the silver money in this county to make up for them to requisition money, so there is such a thing, the root is such a thing, How do you three say this case will be resolved? ”
"How to fix it?"
The three of them glanced at each other, this kind of thing that can't be settled without taking money, they can't do anything, so they have to frown and sit on the chair to find a way, and there was no sound in the lobby for a while.
Suddenly, there was a loud shouting and scolding outside the yamen:
"Dog officer, let people go!"
"Corrupt officials, dumb officials, beating and killing good people, lawless!"
……
The shouting and scolding made the officials in the room who were trying to find a solution furious.
"Come on, go and arrest this shouting disorder!"
After a period of crying father and shouting mother's toss, more than a dozen men were arrested and put into the yamen prison.
The old man who was squatting on the side of the road selling fruit said to the little baby selling wild vegetables next to him:
"It's a foggy day."
Xiaowa looked up at the sky and wondered: "The sun is so big, where is the fog." ”
