Chapter 23: The Stick
The two of them hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see a man in a green robe standing on the slope in front of them.
The man was in his fifties, his body was thin, his hair had begun to turn gray, and the muscles on his face were a little loose, so the wrinkles were extraordinarily deep.
He was tall and long, with a hooked nose and piercing eyes, which looked like a foraging vulture.
Li Xingzhou frowned, but still saluted.
"Auspicious steward."
This person's name is Cui Jixiang, because the Cui family is the first family in Qinghe, and Qinghe, whether it is a folk or a yamen, or a clan, is full of people with various surnames Cui.
Everyone can't use their surnames as prefixes when they call each other, otherwise the whole city will be the shopkeeper Cui, Lord Cui, so it's all messed up.
So in Qinghe, everyone generally calls the last two words. For example, Chiji Gongzi, auspicious steward and the like.
Cui Jixiang was the attendant who followed Cui Quan as an official outside, and accompanied Cui Quan for more than 30 years.
In the Cui family, even Cui Chiji and Cui Yulun had to politely call Uncle Jixiang when they saw it.
Cui Jixiang has always been unsmiling, and the two deeply sunken nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose make his face reveal a cold and stern aura, and he sneered.
"You two have no rules, you dare to steal the New Year's goods purchased in the kitchen and bake food here!."
From Li Xingzhou's face, Da Xiong knew that he was in trouble.
All he wanted to do was carry the pot himself.
The big bear said with a bitter face: "Auspicious steward, you misunderstood, this dog was hunted by me alone, and I was born in Orion." ”
Cui Jixiang laughed, smiling so much that his old face was like an autumn chrysanthemum, and even the slightest wrinkle stretched out like a chrysanthemum petal.
"Good! You kid still want to visit me, your auspicious grandfather doesn't rub sand in his eyes, he hunts by himself? Okay, come back with me and talk to the patriarch! ”
Cui Jixiang made a move to get Li Xingzhou.
"Wait!"
Just when Cui Jixiang was about to meet Li Xingzhou, Da Xiong immediately became anxious.
He stepped on his left foot, and his right hand directly separated Cui Jixiang's hand with a howling wind.
"Huh?"
Cui Jixiang was surprised.
He followed Cui Quan's side, and his skills were naturally extraordinary, and he was also prepared to grab Li Xingzhou's claw.
But I didn't expect to be opened by Xiong Yanfu.
After all, Xiong Yanfu was born in Orion and didn't know martial arts, but it was still very good to cooperate with hunting skills with brute force.
"Forget it."
Li Xingzhou sighed, even if he had dealt with Cui Jixiang now.
Lee Ho-deok and Choi are still in the manor.
If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that Cui Yulun will point the finger at them.
。。。
。。。
Li Xingzhou and Xiong Yanfu were taken into the backyard of the hall.
After entering, Li Xingzhou found that the situation was not right.
The eight big men on both sides held torches, and Cui Yulun sat on top with Erlang's legs crossed, with a hint of anger on his handsome face, and he was eating the dog meat they roasted in his mouth.
Da Xiong felt guilty in his heart, and knelt directly in front of Cui Yulun and argued.
"Mingjian, the son of the wheel! Over the wheel of the son Mingjian! This dog meat is really not stolen, it's me alone... ”
Although he is not a member of the Cui family, he lives in Qinghe and still retains a sense of awe for the Cui family.
was deducted by Cui Jixiang first, and he was naturally very panicked.
Cui Jixiang glanced at Li Xingzhou and sneered.
"Something that doesn't have rules, don't kneel yet?"
Li Xingzhou looked at the few Zhuang Ding who were strong and stubborn around him, and secretly gritted his teeth.
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and Han Xin can suffer the humiliation of his crotch, can't I bear the anger of the moment? He also understands that Cui Yulun has made it clear that he has taken revenge at this time, and he can't resist now, and the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him.
He gritted his teeth and straightened his face, and also knelt down beside the big bear.
Cui Yulun glanced at Li Xingzhou, and the two sword eyebrows slowly raised, and a sneer appeared on his face.
He spit out the dog meat to Big Bear's face and cursed in his mouth.
"Two bold dogs, breaking the rules of my Cui family, doing sneaky things, and cleverly deceiving Young Master Ben?"
Big Bear hurriedly explained.
"Fourth young master, the little one and Brother Yu will never dare to steal the things in the house, this dog...... Indeed, the small ones were caught in the woods outside the village. ”
Cui Jixiang said with a smile.
"Xiong Yanfu, this dog was beaten by you outside the village, I can see it clearly, but this dog is raised in our village, hey! You are not from our village in the first place, it was Master Dexiu who saw you pitiful and let you recuperate here, and you can't figure out the situation in the village, whether Li Xingzhou let you catch it, you still tell the truth obediently! ”
Li Xingzhou has been watching coldly, but now he can't raise that consciousness, so he easily puts down his body, one young master at a time, and begs for mercy one by one.
But now that Cui Jixiang insisted that they were stealing, and even led the big bear to buckle the black cauldron on his head, it was obvious that Cui Yulun was targeting him!
So, Li Xingzhou spoke.
"Over the wheel of the son, whether the New Year's goods purchased by the house are lost, just ask the people in the kitchen to know, the auspicious steward is loyal to the Cui family, and no one is allowed to eat inside and outside, this loyalty I ...... The little ones all know, but they are afraid of making mistakes in their busyness, and it is inevitable that there will be times when they are not careful. ”
Li Xingzhou was afraid that Da Xiong would really carry the pot alone, so he said a few nice words first to stabilize the situation first.
didn't want him to say this, Cui Yulun was furious.
After all, if Li Xingzhou hides a needle in this kind of cotton, he has already suffered once.
"What's the matter? My son does things, and he still needs you to teach? ”
"You two dogs, what a guts!"
"Today, I'll clean the door for Uncle Dexiu."
"Uncle Jixiang, enforce the family law for me!"
Cui Yulun waved the dog leg in his hand and scolded.
"Slow down, I'm not a subordinate, I'm from the Cui clan."
Before Li Xingzhou could speak, several Zhuang Ding couldn't help but say, pounced on the two of them, picked up the big stick and started fighting.
The stick hit his body, and the pain made Li Xingzhou twitch.
He hugged the back of his head to protect the vital point, gritting his teeth and resisting.
At this time, the bear stood up sharply and pushed two sticks.
He knew that Li Xingzhou had just recovered from his major injury and couldn't withstand the toss, so he was anxious at that time.
The big bear has strong bones and muscles, waving his arms and blocking a few sticks, he launched a ruthless attack, and a few Zhuang Ding couldn't get close.
"Smack"
At this time, Cui Jixiang grabbed a stool and smashed it at the big bear.
The stool shattered, and the bear lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground after being hit by a follow-up stick.
After more than a dozen sticks, Li Xingzhou and Da Xiong's muffled snort turned into a miserable scream, and their bodies seemed to belong to them as if they didn't belong to them.
At this moment, only a cry of sorrow was heard.
"Fourth son, don't beat him, Yu'er won't steal, won't steal."
Cui Shi rushed into the courtyard and pounced on Li Xingzhou at once.
A Zhuang Ding next to him couldn't take the stick, and hit Cui's shoulder, so painful that her body trembled violently. 、
When several Zhuang Ding saw Cui's, they couldn't do it for a while.
Cui Shi didn't care about the shoulder injury, and immediately crawled to Cui Yulun's feet, hugged his legs, and pleaded bitterly.
"Fourth son, Bi'er must have been wronged, he will never steal anything."
Li Xingzhou is not in this life or in his previous life, he has taken the path of being powerless, and it is okay to be an anchor in his previous life, at least his hand speed is good.
In that life, he was purely a nerd, with no fighting ability at all, and his body was also poor.
He had already been blinded by those sticks, and he groaned as he looked at Cui Shi who suddenly broke in.
He saw a trace of red blood slowly oozing out from Cui's shoulder, but Cui's didn't realize it, he just hugged Ding Chengye's leg and pleaded for himself.
Li Xingzhou's heartstrings couldn't help but tremble, what "Dongwu Tianxia Chapter" coerced the county to release people, what "Rare Words" was famous in Qinghe, and what scolded Cui Anyi vomited blood, these achievements are insignificant and don't need to be mentioned.
His pride was scattered all over the ground in an instant.
"The fourth son, the auspicious steward, Yu'er has always been honest, you all know, he will never steal."
"Yu'er was wronged, he just recovered from his illness! Where can you afford to fight! ”
"If the fourth son doesn't lose his anger, just beat me, beat me! I will receive this rod for my son......"
Li Xingzhou's nose was sour, and his eyes were suddenly a little blurry.
"Fourth son!"
He suddenly got up, gritted his teeth to prop up his almost completely numb body, staggered to his feet, and said loudly:
"Fourth young master, this family belongs to the Cui family, you are the master of the Cui family, there is nothing wrong with taking care of your own property."
"However, I am not a descendant of the Cui family, I am a member of the Cui family, and I have my own clan rules and family laws to rectify it."
"It's not your turn to lynch, and I can't be wronged for no reason."
"You said I stole something, and you should always show evidence. Just based on Cui Jixiang's words, I will be condemned, there is no such reason in this world! ”
Cui Yulun was furious, kicked Cui Shi away, jumped up, and said.
"Bastard thing, what's wrong with you?"
"In the eyes of your fourth son, you are not as good as a dog!"
"In Qinghe, my Cui family is the sky, what is it to kill you with a foreign surname? The government can't control my ......."
"I, no, have, steal, Cui's thing!"
Li Xingzhou gritted his teeth and said word for word.
The bear lay next to him and tugged at his trousers.
Li Xingzhou knew that at this time, he and Da Xiong had a tacit understanding of fighting together for many years.
That's all it takes to fight hard!
Li Xingzhou's eyes erupted with fire, and he glared at Cui Yulun fiercely.
Cui Yulun laughed angrily at this time, he tore the dog meat again, and said.
"You didn't steal?"
"Good!"
"Call me until he steals!"
Zhuang Ding on both sides waved sticks, and they were about to pounce on people again.
Cui's heart was in a panic, and he hurriedly stopped in front of Li Xingzhou, was torn apart by a family member, and fell to the ground with a stagger.
Li Xingzhou saw a nameless fire in his heart.
Fuck it!
Lao Tzu is also a man!
I can't take it anymore!
It's a blessing to die or not, but if you live like this, it's better to die happily!
He shook his arms with red eyes and was about to fight hard,
At this time, there was a cold rebuke from the door, cold and crisp.
"Enough!"
"Cui Yulun! Hello great majesty! ”
"The ancestor is above, and Uncle Dexiu hasn't spoken yet, when will it be the turn of the Cui family to be the master?"
! ”
