Chapter 17: Luo Siye

Xu Ang got up early in the morning, Luo Qi Niang had already prepared the meal, after breakfast, the coachman Qi Niang called yesterday had already arrived at the door, and after eating breakfast in a hurry, Xu Ang and Qi Niang took the things they bought yesterday and got into the carriage.

Luo Siye lives about ten miles away from where Xu Ang lives, and it is more difficult for Young Master Xu to walk, so Qi Niang arranged a carriage yesterday, and we will go together today, the carriage is an open-top kind, only a parasol, relatively simple, Rao is so It also cost two dollars, the young master likes to see the scenery, Qi Niang remembers it very clearly.

At this time, the official road has been repaired relatively smoothly, Xu Ang sat in the carriage, looking at the surrounding scenery, it was summer at this time, the surrounding trees were lush, and some heavy rains from time to time these days also brought a lot of vitality to the previous drought, and in the fields between them, the rice began to tassel. The people who were toiling here and there were happy faces, and there must have been some harvest today, at least, it would be much better than last year.

Xu Ang had never seen such a situation before, but he was a little curious in his heart, and he watched it with relish along the way, and from time to time he read some hoeing day afternoons, and sweat dripping into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. Such verses are quite touching. and Qi Niang, who was sitting on the side, said a few words from time to time, and the depression in my heart these days has relaxed a lot.

"Young master, turn this corner, and it won't be long before you arrive." Qi Niang said

Xu Ang nodded, at this time, the carriage had turned from the official road to the side of the path, and walked leisurely for more than ten minutes, and when he arrived in front of a relatively short house, Qi Niang said

"Handlebar style! Parking, we arrived! ”

Xu Ang looked up, it was also an inconspicuous four-room wooden house, sitting north and facing south, there were three utility rooms in the west, and there was a ping-pong bang sound from inside the back of the yard, there was a big tree in front of the house, and two children about five or six years old were playing under the tree.

The two jumped out of the car and walked to the house. The two children playing under the tree saw someone coming, looked at it together, and when they saw that it was Qi Niang, they were immediately very happy, and they didn't care about the branch used to poke ants in their hands, so they ran up

"Auntie!"

"Auntie is here!"

The two little guys were very happy, Qi Niang walked up with a smile, squatted down, hugged a little guy with one hand, and said with a smile

"Did you listen to your father at home?"

"We're obedient!" The two little ones said in unison

"Oh! So obedient! Auntie has a reward! Qi Niang said, reached into the bag she was carrying, took out some halva sweet fruit, and shared a large handful. The two children were so happy that they clamored to send them to their parents to try them.

At this time, a person came out of the kitchen, it turned out to be Luo Siye's wife, Luo Li, who saw the noise in the garden and took a look, and said

"Qi Niang! There you are! Fast! Come into the house and sit. Luo Li saw that his sister-in-law was coming, and hurriedly greeted

"Who is this?"

"This is my second young master Xu." Seeing this, Qi Niang hurriedly introduced

"Oh! It turned out to be Young Master Xu! Come in and sit down. It's hot outside. She also knew that her sister-in-law sold a Xu Ang as a maid in order to save Luo Siye, but she hadn't seen it before. I can't help but be a little flattering in my heart, if I offend, I don't dare to offend my sister-in-law if she is angry. I also thought in my heart that this young master, the reason for coming to the maid's house to see relatives, looked at Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but have a smile.

Qi Niang was embarrassed by her sister-in-law, so she hurriedly carried something to the house, Luo Li moved three chairs and placed them on the porch between the utility room and the house, this porch has shade, and from time to time there is some wind blowing, but it is much cooler than outside. Qi Niang put her things down, and also returned to the porch, standing next to Xu Ang, Luo Li turned around and poured two bowls of boiled water, sent them to the two, and said to Qi Niang

"Come to your own house and buy something."

Qi Niang smiled and said, "The young master is coming, and this gift is also the young master's." It's just some brown sugar, salt and daily necessities. ”

In this era, salt is controlled by the government, and it is necessary for daily life, and sugar is also, and bringing some daily necessities is much better than some impractical gifts.

Xu Ang saw that he couldn't talk about anything with the two women, so he asked

"What about Siye? Is the injury better? “

"In the backyard!" Luo Li said worriedly, "It's been a few days since I started repairing farm tools again, and I didn't listen to anything." He never listened to me. “

"I'll take a look." Xu Ang said, then got up and walked over following the sound of ping-pong.

Walk through the porch and you'll find the backyard in the back. There was a shed with only one side, and in the middle was a small iron furnace, and next to it was an iron-striking platform, where a one-armed middle-aged man wielded a hammer in his right hand. Since there is only one hand, it can only be replaced by the left foot, and the left foot steps on a "B" shaped clip-like object, but the sickle on the board is firmly clamped, and the hand holding the hammer is knocked from all angles, but one hand is certainly not as flexible as the two hands, and this sickle is not very good.

Xu Ang walked over, "Ahem! Luo Siye looked back and saw that it was Xu Ang, and nodded his head. Said

"Xu Er Shao is good!"

After saying that, he turned his head and continued to get angry with the sickle. The two had met, so naturally they knew each other, although Xu Ang came to Luo Siye's house for the first time, Luo Siye didn't care much, if it weren't for his sister-in-law following him Xu Ang, he wouldn't even say hello, this Second Young Master Xu He had seen it before. I've also inquired, but I can't afford it.

Xu Ang didn't care, knowing that this Luo Siye was also a character, when he was at home, he asked Luo Qi Niang about it, since Xu Ang tore off Luo Qi Niang's deed of sale, Luo Qi Niang was grateful to Xu Ang in her heart, plus she had some inexplicable feelings, of course she knew everything about Xu Ang, and she also said the secrets of the family.

The Luo family is a refugee from the north who came here, after arriving here, Luo Siye followed the master who didn't know where to learn art, what he learned didn't know, he didn't go home for many years, and he didn't know that his parents died, and he began to mix in the rivers and lakes when he was in his twenties, and he did the betrayal of illegal salt. Which emperor can endure? But it can't be forbidden, Luo Siye also has a few strongmen under him, in less than three or five years, he is already a relatively wealthy small salt merchant, and also runs some other shops, and is also a well-known businessman in the nearby Shanyuan County, on the surface he is running a shop, but in fact the most profitable business is selling illicit salt.

Two years ago, Chen Ye and various counties in Shandong cracked down on those who sold illicit salt, and the four tiger generals under his command were all arrested and executed, and their family property was confiscated. There is only one Wang Ming left who has been with him for ten years, Luo Siye is ready to wait for the limelight to pass, most of the business in hand is handed over to the housekeeper and Wang Ming to manage, who knows that Wang Ming coerced the housekeeper's family and united with another smuggler to kill him. rob him of his property. Fortunately, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, Luo Siye has a plan in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and there is also a secret door at home, Leng is to save his sister Qi Niang, his wife, and a pair of children who were fortunate to find later.

After finding a safe place for the four of them to settle down and preparing a carriage, Luo Siye went to the place he had prepared before to get the silver ticket that was kept as a backup, and the place where he hid was safe, but when he turned around and went back, he thought of

"I'm leaving, I definitely won't come back, I have nearly 10,000 taels of silver tickets, in my life, my sons and grandchildren are enough, but my four brothers have followed me for many years, and now they have been arrested and killed, their property has been confiscated, and their wives have a difficult life, so it is better for each of my families to send five hundred taels of silver tickets to the past, so that at least they have lived worry-free all these years."

He has a bold personality and is known to be chivalrous, otherwise he would not have done such a big business in less than ten years, and he returned to the four families as soon as he thought of it.

knew that as soon as he came out of the third house, Wang Ming took more than 30 people to ride over to block him, and he didn't know if the first two families ran to tell Wang Ming, or Wang Ming had already sent someone to keep an eye on the four families.

Seeing this, Luo Siye turned his horse's head and hurriedly retreated, and the thirty or so people chased after him, and Wang Ming shouted behind him:

"The person who kills Hong Wu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

This "Hong Wu" is the pseudonym of Luo Siye's mixed rivers and lakes.

The people who chased and killed were very angry, and the people who were chasing all the way shouted and chased after them all the way.

Luo Siye saw that there were many of them, so he walked to the path, the horse he was riding had walked a long way, and he was about to be caught up, Luo Siye saw that the situation was not good, if he was dragged for even a short time, the people behind him would surround him, and he would definitely not be able to leave. So he took out a stack of silver tickets in his arms and raised it backwards. Suddenly, the sky began to rain with silver tickets.

In the TV series, a silver ticket is more than 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels, which is impossible in the real world, these ten taels of silver are enough for a family of three to eat for a year, and there are almost more than 10,000 yuan, and one hundred taels of silver is more than 100,000 yuan, so the general silver tickets are still one hundred and twenty taels, and the silver tickets of about seven or eight thousand taels in his arms are thrown together, falling in the air, and the people chasing him behind are dazzled. Hurry up and stop and grab it. Those who dismounted, and many fell to the ground, so hurry up and get off the horse to check.

Isn't it? Although it is worth fighting hard to kill Hong Wu, there are only one person who can get so many people, so Hong Wu's martial arts are strong, and it is not so easy to kill. And now you can reach out and get a few hundred taels, late behind the people arrived, is the front of the people who chased have stopped, the road is small, the front of the horse parked there, the back full of up can not pass, but also want to see and there is no leak of the ticket, and the hand also grabbed the people around the silver ticket did not hold a robbery, anyway, come to chase in order to prevent the killing from being recognized, these people are wearing masks, so there is no need to chase.

Wang Ming was annoyed in the middle! If you can't kill the tiger today, if you come here another day, you will be in danger. Stop your horse and take out your bow and arrow, and shoot it with one arrow! This Wang Ming's archery technique is not bad, an arrow hit Luo Siye's left arm, and Luo Siye laughed

"Wang Ming! It's my Hong Wu who has lost his eyes! Your archery skills are so useless! ”

As he spoke, he pumped his horse hard and walked away

Luo Siye deceived him, pretending not to shoot, so as to prevent these people from getting the news of his injury and sending people to search for him, it would be troublesome.

For two days in a row, I simply treated the wound and found Luo Qiniang and the old house before they returned to their parents, the disinfection level of this world was originally poor, and Luo Siye's left arm was also infected by bacteria, so there was a scene where Xu Ang saw Luo Qiniang later, and in the end, Luo Siye's arm could not be saved, but he could pick up a life, and the rest was not important.
