Chapter 117: First Arrival at the Kong Family
The three brothers talked freely for most of the night, and they were very happy.
Zhao Xiaotian even felt that he hated to meet Xiangzi too late. The rooster crowed three times, and the three of them huddled together and squinted wildly for a while.
The genius was bright, and the hot meal was served on the table again. Xiangzi was in a hurry, and after eating in a hurry, he beckoned to leave, and Zhao Xiaotian couldn't keep it anymore. So, he carried the money bag that Xiangzi brought yesterday and said, "I'll wait for your letter." ”
Xiangzi nodded solemnly, but the hand that took the money bag hesitated.
At this moment, Kong Xiuzhi also walked in with chrysanthemums.
Shoko smiled faintly at her and said, "You're just in time." It is said that it is the rule to pay money to ransom people. But according to the current relationship between me and Brother Zhao, this money should not be collected. Please give this case a conclusion. ”
When Kong Xiuzhi heard this, she clapped her hands without hesitation and said simply: "Just follow the rules and pay the money to ransom people." ”
Zhao Xiaotian came over and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiangzi and said: "Big brother, don't push it anymore, in the future, there will be more places to use money." Let's take it as Miss Kong's financial support for you. ”
Kong Xiuzhi also winked playfully and said, "Well, it's Miss Ben's sponsorship." ”
Tie Dan let people set up a car, and he had to accompany Xiangzi back to the county in person. Xiangzi couldn't be entangled, so he had to agree. Before she got out of the ditch, Miss Kong shouted that she wanted to ride a horse. Also sit in front of Shoko. Xiangzi couldn't resist her, so he had to agree.
To be honest, since Juanzi grew into a big girl, Xiangzi has never ridden a horse like this with that woman. What's more, it's a beautiful young girl. Despite the breeze, it carries a faint fragrance that has never been smelled before, and from time to time it burrows into the nose. But for the current Xiangzi, the hidden pain of Shuzhen's departure is still merciless, drowning the sprouts of all emotions.
At this time, he just dimly regained the feeling of hugging Juanzi when he was a child.
County Magistrate Liu listened to Xiangzi's report and thoughts, and was silent for a long time. After a long while, he said as if talking to himself: "Since ancient times, bandits have been severely punished. ”
Xiangzi said earnestly and patiently: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that thieves also have Taoism. There are also many kinds of bandits, and they cannot be generalized. What's more, they are all peasants who have been forcibly arrested and sent to serve as soldiers, and they must be given a chance to turn back. If they are all killed, it will only force them to embark on a road of no return. ”
County Magistrate Liu had a cold face and said angrily: "But they dared to intercept the official car of the provincial government in broad daylight, and openly kidnapped the people in the car." Fortunately, Miss Kong didn't make a mistake, otherwise, how would I have explained to the above. ”
Xiangzi said in a lukewarm tone: "This matter, since it has involved the provincial government, we must give an explanation to others." How are you going to give a satisfactory explanation to the above? ”
County Magistrate Liu scratched his scalp in frustration and muttered in a low voice: "I'm about to die of sorrow for this." I haven't slept since you left. ”
Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Shoko said tentatively, "That's what I thought. ”
County Magistrate Liu seemed to have come to his senses suddenly, leaned forward, and looked at Xiangzi with expectant eyes.
Shoko continued unhurriedly: "I have carefully inspected the terrain of the stockade and the personnel and equipment they have exposed. If it is a hard attack, not to mention the few broken guys in the police station, even if it is a regular army with a platoon, it may not take advantage. If the bandits hadn't been suppressed, and a few more lives would have been taken, it would be even more difficult to give an explanation to the above.
It's better to take advantage of their conscience and take advantage of the situation to recruit them and disarm them. That is, to eliminate the trouble of bandits, and to give similar small groups of bandits a good way to reform their evil ways and return to righteousness. Perhaps, not only will the above not be pursued, but you will be commended for it. ”
County Magistrate Liu, the expression on his face gradually became lively.
He muttered contemplatively, "I'm afraid that those people will go back on their word." ”
Xiangzi said confidently: "Please rest assured that the county magistrate can rest assured, the people there are all good brothers who know their roots, and there are no bandits in the rivers and lakes." To tell you the truth, I've already married the two heads there, the brothers. I dare to vouch for the head, they will not cause trouble for the county magistrate in the future. ”
When County Magistrate Liu heard this, he looked at Xiangzi with surprise on his face and said, "Okay, you, you are actually a brother and a brother with bandits." ”
Xiangzi smiled calmly and said, "In my opinion, they are all really righteous men, and it is really unjust to say that they are bandits." ”
County Magistrate Liu, whose expression became relaxed, took a long breath and said, "I believe in your vision." It's just, how do you place them? ”
Shoko looked a little excited and said, "Well, I've already calculated it with them." They are croppers, and as long as they have land, they can survive. I passed by Shuangchahezi Village and saw that there was an abundance of water, and the lower reaches of the river were large areas of wasteland. You can let them be there, cultivate the wasteland, settle down, and the government will exempt them from paying taxes for another three years. If they make any more trouble in the future, you will kill me first. ”
County Magistrate Liu snorted coldly and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already planned it." Let's do so, the county government debuted official documents, and the wasteland was opened by them. Administratively, it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Shuanghe Village. Since you vouch, then I will tie your head. ”
Shoko smiled at him with satisfaction.
County Magistrate Liu changed the topic and said: "This time, Miss Kong's affairs, you did it beautifully, and the Kong family is very satisfied. Miss Kong, they all tell you that they are gods, and they will hold a family banquet at noon tomorrow to thank you for being a great hero, and even I will follow you to get naked. ”
Xiangzi smiled indifferently at him, "Are they all leaders of the county magistrate?" ”
County Magistrate Liu smiled "hehe" and said, "You kid, you have also begun to learn to speak official language." ”
Old man Kong went to the ancient city to see the goods, and when he came back, he realized that there was such a thing at home. Listening to Xiuzhi again, he told the story of how Xiangzi went to the meeting alone and how to fight the stubborn bandits. And how to make the bandits happy and convinced, completely listen to his arrangement, etc., and tell about it.
Listening to the two elders of the Kong family, it was a surprise. Immediately asked Kong Qingwen to meet with County Magistrate Liu to set up a family banquet to thank you. You can also take this opportunity to get acquainted with the heroes and heroes that Xiuzhi said.
One by one, everyone sat down. I saw Xiuzhi, holding Mrs. Kong's arm, and walked out of the inner room lightly.
Xiuzhi's appearance made Xiangzi's eyes suddenly light up.
She didn't wear a school uniform today, but changed into a light blue silk cheongsam full of red and white flowers.
The white high-heeled leather shoes show off the graceful figure even more.
Somehow, Xiangzi has always had a soft spot for cheongsam clothing.
This may be related to Juanzi's love of wearing cheongsam, and Xiangzi's special love of seeing Juanzi wearing cheongsam. In fact, the Chinese cheongsam does have its uniqueness.
It implicitly encapsulates everything, and blooms with infinite possibilities. The curly and swaying waist, in the charm, there are hidden or reserved or enthusiastic or straightforward or frivolous code words. Most of it is about beauty or love. This is the charm of the cheongsam.
Old Man Kong, with a thick and slightly hoarse voice, dragged Xiangzi's thoughts back to the dinner table.
I saw the old man, with a slightly chubby body, with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass, and said: "Prepare a little wine today, thank Liu County Magistrate Guo Yingying for rescuing Xiuzhi from the bandits' den." Our whole family, a glass for two. ”
Everyone raised their glasses in front of them. Shoko looked left and right nervously, and was about to say something. With a faint fragrance, Xiuzhi took a glass of juice and quietly replaced the wine glass in front of Xiangzi.
When everyone clinked glasses one by one, Kong Qingwen discovered the clues. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "No! No way! Shoko's cup is juice. ”
So, except for County Magistrate Liu, everyone present turned their doubtful eyes to Xiangzi. Just when Xiangzi was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, it was County Magistrate Liu who relieved him from the siege.
He smiled and waved at everyone and said, "Let him be!" Oh, Xiangzi's study of Buddhism is also real, and even the wine is also abstained. It hurt me to go out to socialize, and I had to pour wine into my stomach. ”
When Kong Qingwen heard this, he still shouted unrelentingly: "Can't you not drink at all, at the last city defense celebration banquet, can he still drink a lot, Lai Hao also has to be interesting, right?" ”
As he spoke, he was about to change the wine glass for Shoko.
At this time, Xiuzhi walked over with a smile and said to Kong Qingwen: "I said big brother, even the bandits respect Brother Xiangzi's choice, shouldn't you be inferior to the bandits?" ”
When Kong Qingwen heard this, he glared, and pretended to be displeased and said, "You girl, you are becoming more and more undisciplined." I've only known each other for a few days, and I'm called my brother and brother. Pour out your own brother. ”
Xiuzhi pouted playfully at him, and leaned over to Mrs. Kong's side. was so troubled by Xiuzhi, and the atmosphere on the wine table became lively. Seeing a few glasses of wine, everyone was busy eating.
County Magistrate Liu choked on a mouthful of food, wiped his mouth, and said with a serious expression: "Don't look at his young age, he knows a lot of Taoism in Buddhism, and he can be my teacher." ”
After an exclamation, everyone turned their admiring eyes to Shoko.
Seeing this, Xiang stood up in a panic, smiled humbly at everyone and said, "County Magistrate Liu has won the award, and I only know a little bit about it." ”
After a pause, he continued to punch the second elder of the Kong family, nodded with a smile and said, "Since everyone knows each other, the second elder will call me Xiangzi in the future." What heroes are not heroes, it sounds awkward. ”
When the second elder heard this, he smiled and said, "Then we will call you Xiangzi, and I hope you can come and go often." ”
The banquet was dispersed, and County Magistrate Liu and Xiangzi were just about to say goodbye and return to the Ya, but they saw Xiuzhi hurriedly come to Xiangzi and said, "My aunt wants to invite Brother Xiangzi to the Buddhist hall to talk." ”
