At the end of school in the afternoon, Changsun Hong flew out in a prisoner mood that had been freed.

Kneeling for a day, not to mention the physical torture, just the physical and mental depression of sitting made him miserable, the school of later generations, no matter what school, as long as you don't talk in class, the poor students sitting in the back row no matter whether they doze off, read comics, and play with their mobile phones, no one cares about you, and here, just a few students, the master's eyes are hanging on you at any time, and if the writing posture is a little lax, he will be hit by the ring ruler, let alone others, so at the end of the day, Changsun Hong only feels sour, and he is uncomfortable everywhere.

"University" is a piece of "Book of Rites", the number of words is not much, but it is also a lot, after copying it again, Zhou Fuzi did not say a word after passing his eyes, and he puffed out his eyes and scolded Changsun Hong for practicing the words of these days to the brute, so that Changsun Hong copied it five or six times in a row, and saw that the sun was in the west, so he was put back.

Before leaving, Master Zhou also warned him that if he couldn't come up with words tomorrow, he would go back and feed the pigs.

Anyway, it's great to be out of school.

Leaving the two huge stone lions at the door of Li's house, walking on the country road, breathing the pure air that has not been polluted, Changsun Hong feels that his heart and lungs are accessible, birds are flying overhead, earth dogs are jumping around, children herding sheep are driving livestock to pass by with weeds, and village girls who have washed their clothes are laughing and talking about returning home from the river, everything is so calm and natural, for Changsun Hong, it is a little more novel and beautiful.

If you don't run into a dog.

This tall and thin young man, when he ran past the eyes of Changsun Hong, he was squatting on the side of the road with great interest to secretly look at the slender backs of several village girls, revealing a meaningful smile.

Since he is in this era, if he wants to make a fortune, Changsun Hong feels that it will not last long to do illegal things like Changsun Hao, and he has to find a safe means to get rich.

The thought made him peep guiltlessly, and then he was alarmed by the dog's gallop.

"Dog!" He shouted, just a greeting.

The dog Li Gui heard it, turned around and saw that it was the eldest grandson, and then showed a touch of joy in his hasty face, and ran over to grab him and run.

"What for, what for?" The eldest grandson shouted, "Where to go?" ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The dog panted, took Changsun Hong's hand and rushed forward, and purred in his mouth: "Go and help, if you don't hurry up, it's too late!" ”

Changsun Hong is one head and two big, and he doesn't understand what he wants to do at all, but he can't resist the dog's strength, so he has to follow him while asking what's wrong, the dog is anxious and can't get the word out, and it took a long time to figure out what's going on.

It turned out that Li Yi, the deputy protector of the village, was leading a group of ruffians to grab things at the dog's house.

Grab something? Deputy Baozheng?

Changsun Hong was stunned for a moment, the combination of these two words made him a little confused, and he didn't know how there was such a position as deputy Baozheng, just based on Changsun Hong's understanding of the local functions of the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng was the guardian of peace, and it has always been held by local powerful and responsible figures, how could such a person openly rob the villagers in broad daylight, wouldn't this mess up?

Strange in his heart, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran with the dog to the dog's house at the east end of the village.

The village is not big, and it is almost there, and as soon as I ran to the mouth of the alley, I heard the mournful cry of a woman inside, and her voice was sad, which tightened the heart of the eldest grandson.

The dog suddenly sped up, and even Changsun Hong's hand was not grabbed, and ran in desperately, but Changsun Hong was worried that something was wrong, so he ran in after him.

The dog's house, on one side of the road, was a rammed courtyard, three thatched houses, made of stone and rammed earth, covered with straw, two or three holes were dug and inlaid with wooden frames as windows, and there was a more humble stove on the side, the house was probably built for a long time, and many places in the wall were ruined, revealing holes, in short, this was a very ordinary poor family.

The firewood door of the courtyard was wide open, and the two ran in and saw that the small courtyard was full of people.

Eight or nine men in sackcloth were standing outside under the leadership of a cloth-robed man, holding rice bags, iron pots, bedding and other things, a middle-aged man was held by two people and could not move, a woman was holding the legs of the cloth-robed man and couldn't stop wailing, and two other young men who looked very similar to dogs were being knocked to the ground and kicked and beaten by four or five people.

"Brother Yi, it's true that our family owes spring rent, but in general give us a way to live, you take away the pot and cover it, how can we live!" The middle-aged man was twisted by the two of them, and shouted anxiously: "You have a few more graces, a few more days, I will definitely find a way to pay the rent!" ”

The cloth-robed man had a slender horse face, three handfuls of beards arranged in an inverted zigzag pattern above and below his lips, a short nose and a wide mouth, small eyes and big ears, and his nostrils were out of breath and his eyes were looking at the sky. The spring rent in April, it's all July, and you haven't paid it yet, how can you justify it? You don't blame the villagers in my township for not helping, it's really shameless to give you a face, you see, there are more than 100 families in this village, all of them rent in spring and autumn like you, don't I eat the board in the county yamen? ”

"But, Brother Yi, we really don't have any money." Dog Niangfu pounced again, but was avoided by Li Yi, threw himself into the dust, and cried: "You just kill us, and you don't have any money!" ”

"Kill you? That's a matter in the yamen, I don't care. Li Yi said: "Collect these rags from you, take them as pawns, you can always reach dozens of texts, and I can talk well." ”

Over there, the two young people who were knocked to the ground were scolding, and one of them held his head and said angrily: "Li Yi, you have a righteous word in your name, but you are a ruthless dog!" If you rob my house, we will not be finished with you! ”

When Li Yi heard this, the flesh on his face twitched a few times one after another, he was furious, shook his hand, and scolded: "The cub who killed a thousand knives, give me a beating!" Fight until they can't speak! ”

When the four or five sackcloth men heard this, they laughed and scolded and increased their strength, their fists and feet fell like raindrops, and the two of them were beaten miserably.

Changsun Hong stood by the door, just listened to the clue, and also understood that the cloth robe man was the deputy Baozheng Li Yi in the mouth of the dog, and saw the dog break in, holding a wooden stick that he didn't know where to pick up, and hit Li Yi with a stick.

Although there were many people in the courtyard, they were all paying attention to the dog's parents and brother, and they didn't watch out for a person running outside, and they didn't say anything, they beat with a stick, and the dog took advantage of the opportunity, and the stick hit Li Yi's back firmly, beating him to the ground like a dog eating.

The dog struck a blow, barked "hehe" in his mouth, and rushed towards the four or five thugs who beat his two brothers without stopping, and the appearance of holding a wooden stick and showing his teeth and claws startled the few people and dispersed.

"Who! Who? Li Yi, who was helped up from the ground, asked in horror while holding the head on his head, when he saw that the person who attacked him was actually a half-grown child, he was angry from his heart, trembling with anger, and he didn't even feel the sharp pain on his back, and pointed at the dog with a trembling person, and shouted one after another: "Hit me!" Call me! Kill this bunny! ”

The dog's two brothers got up from the ground, grabbed the dung fork and sickle by the wall, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and stood with the dog, standing with their backs to the wall, staring at the more than ten people who came up, and shouting: "Fight with you!" ”

Li Yi stood on the periphery, commanded a group of ruffians to surround the three of them, laughed angrily, and scolded: "Okay, you three cubs, are you going to resist taxes today?" Lao Tzu reported to the Yamen, and he will definitely be able to cure your family's crimes, even if you kill someone today, there will be no matter of Lao Tzu! You brought it on yourself! ”

The group of ruffians took the rods and sticks they brought, pointed at the three brothers of the dog, and divided a few people to look at the dog's parents, and forced them up, seeing that they were about to force the three brothers to the corner and beat them, the three of them nervously clenched the weapons in their hands, and the murderous aura in the air was about to explode.

"Wait!" A shout rang out, pausing the tense atmosphere.

Everyone looked back in surprise, but saw a young man in Tsing Yi standing there by the gate of the courtyard, looking inside with a serious face.

"Eldest grandson Erlang?" Li Yi frowned and frowned.
