Chapter 33: Right and Wrong
"Huaguan! Muen! Dong Qiniang and Dong Si exclaimed in unison.
Xia Deshui's brain was blank at this time, he couldn't take care of anything, he didn't think about it, and he crawled back to Zhongshan Village.
When Mantuo came to Zhongshan Village, he was saddened to learn that Xia Xiang's mother had died. Fortunately, she inquired about Li Dingshan and Xiao Jia, and also knew that Li Dingshan was sent by the third prince Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao to chase and kill, which was also a big gain. After staying in the village for more than half an hour, she won the favor of many people with her generosity, and asked everything she wanted to know.
Xia Deshui saw her inquire about Xia Xiang, thinking that she was Xia Xiang's friend in Shangjing, and handed over Song Dingniang's letters when she was dying to Mantuo, and asked her to bring them back to Shangjing and hand them over to Xia Xiang. Manta readily agreed.
Seeing the night fall, she decided to leave.
When he returned to the shore, he was shocked to find that Wei Xiaoba's body was gone, and only a small boat was docked alone on the shore. When he got on the boat, he went down the river on the way back, unlike when he came.
Soon after Mantuo left, four people and four horses came to the shore, and it was Dong Si, Dong Qi Niang, Hua Guan and Mu En. Dong Si had already finished bandaging, his face was very pale due to excessive blood loss, and his spirit was also sluggish. Dong Qiniang also looked frustrated and depressed.
Hua Guan lacked his right ear, a little more vicious, he looked at the boat that disappeared into the sky, and snorted: "Just let her go?" Damn, it's too cheap for her. Don't believe that the four of us can't take her together? Dong Si, you are really, why are you so afraid of a delicate little lady? ”
"Little lady? If you see her, you'll be even more useless than I am, and you'll be scared to pee your pants, huh. Dong Si was quite unconvinced, what kind of goods are Hua Guan and Mu En, and they deserve to be compared with him? He was born in a family of eunuchs, although his family is in the middle of the road, at least he is also a child of a family, unlike Huaguan and Mu En, who are born as mountain bandits, "You don't know how powerful she is, her swordsmanship is superb, her flying knife skills are unique in the world, and she is as beautiful as a flower, but she is cold like a snowman." ”
Mu En's eyes rolled, he smiled, and touched his left ear: "I have fought with Huaguan and the little lady, and I know her ability." The four of us may not be her opponents just by doing it, but if you fight wits, hehe, not necessarily. Manta ...... The name is nice and good-looking, and one day, I will take her down and make her my woman, haha. ”
Dong Qiniang glanced at Mu En with disdain, just with Mu En's appearance and ability, he still wanted to take down Mantuo? It's really delusional, and it dares to be cranky. Not to mention that Mantuo won't take a fancy to Mu En, even if she looks at Mu En a few more times, she will lose interest in men.
However, the disdain in her heart is despised, on the big picture, she still has the same hatred as Mu En, Dong Qiniang said: "As soon as Song Dingniang died, the clue was broken, and no one in Zhongshan Village knew Song Dingniang's true identity...... Let's go back to Beijing and resume our lives. Are you on your way with us or apart? ”
Mu En smiled and said, "No, you go first, Huaguan and I will stay in Lingshou for one night." I finally came out for a trip, I didn't want to be happy, and I was sorry for my tiredness. ”
"In that case, let's say goodbye." Dong Si was in a bad mood and didn't want to say anything more, he didn't bother to deal with Mu En and Hua Guan anymore, if it weren't for the current enemy of Mantuo, he was worried that if Mantuo changed his mind and wanted to kill him, he could also use the power of Mu En and Hua Guan, otherwise, he would feel humiliated even talking to the two.
What's more, he is King Jing's people, and Mu En and Huaguan are under the command of the Star King under Yan Hao's jurisdiction, and they are not all the way.
Wei Xiaoba's body, Dong Si has entrusted Xia Deshui to take care of the funeral on his behalf, and entrusted Xia Deshui to transfer the compensation to Wei Xiaoba's family. Wei Xiaoba is a person from the Wu family in the neighboring village, and Xia Deshui happens to know him.
"Fourth brother, it's also weird, why are King Jing and King Xing so interested in Xia Xiang?" When Mu En and Hua Guan walked away, Dong Qi Niangfang said the question in his heart, "Xia Xiang is just a student of Li Dingshan, even if he is only eight years old, he will not let the two princes send someone to check his details, who is he?" ”
"Do things for the prince, just do it, and don't ask why." Dong Si stroked his bandaged right arm, sighing, "It doesn't matter who Xia Xiang is, the prince will check it if he asks it, and kill it if he wants to kill it, the more we know, the faster he will die." ”
"It's better to figure something out than to be confused." Dong Qiniang kicked a pebble away dissatisfiedly, and thought of something, "The Star King and the King Jing are both investigating Xia Xiang, do they want to reuse him or kill him?" ”
"Kill him? Xia Xiang was in Beijing at this time, wouldn't it be easy to kill him? Dong Si smiled, "The two princes are people with deep hearts, what are their plans, let's not guess, guessing is just a waste of time, and there is more distress for no reason." Alright, let's hit the road. ”
"Did Mu En and Hua Guan really go to Lingshou to live happily?" Dong Qiniang still had questions in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't ask.
"They are thieves, and most of them have intercepted and killed Manta." Dong Si smiled coldly, "It's okay, if the two of them are willing to go to death, they can go." It would also be a good thing if the two of them succeeded in killing Manta. ”
"That's right." Dong Qiniang helped Dong Si get on the horse, "It's important to hurry back to Beijing and report to the prince." ”
After Dong Si and Dong Qiniang rode their horses away from Zhongshan Village, Zhongshan Village returned to calm. Except for Shadeshui, the lives of the others are still peaceful and stable. Xia Deshui was entrusted by others to transport Wei Xiaoba's body to the Wu family.
Wu's family is more than ten miles away from Zhongshan Village, and it is not far away, but it is not close. Xia Deshui drove an ox cart and spent a whole day arriving at Wu's house. When the body was handed over to Wei Xiaoba's family, Wei Xiaoba's family cried and shouted, claiming that they were going to report to the official, and after Xia Deshui took out the compensation, the family was instantly petrified on the spot, and then smiled again, and never said a word about reporting to the official - if the official is reported, the compensation will be confiscated, and the government will hunt down the murderer in accordance with the law. In case the murderer is really on official business, in the end, he can still replace the punishment with compensation, and the compensation stipulated by the government is far less than what he has now.
Warmly entertained Xia Deshui, treated Xia Deshui as a guest, and invited the neighbors to accompany him, and a good funeral was a happy event. Presumably, Wei Xiaoba knows underground, and he will also feel that people's hearts are not ancient. Of course, if he is generous, he can also smile at Jiuquan when he sees that his death has brought his family the opportunity to become rich.
Wei Xiaoba can indeed smile at Jiuquan, Dong Si and Dong Qiniang are children of the family, and they will compensate Wei Xiaoba's family with all the money they bring with them, which is as much as a thousand times. With a huge amount of money of 1,000 yuan, Wei Xiaoba's family did not build a house to eat and drink, but let more than ten children of the Wei family go to the county seat to study. As a result, ten years later, the Wei family produced a jinshi, and since then, the Wei family has completely turned over and become one of the well-known big families in Lingshou. It can also be regarded as the yin virtue accumulated by Wei Xiaoba.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Xia Deshui was half-drunk at the Wei family, and when he wanted to leave, an old man who claimed to be talking nonsense came. Hu Bu said that he was full of white hair, his face was full of red light, at first glance, he looked childish, fluttering like a fairy, but the clothes on his body were so dirty that they didn't look like they had not been washed for several years.
He came uninvited, and sat next to Xia Deshui, drank a few pots of wine in one go, and then grabbed Xia Deshui's sleeve and talked about some ethereal immortal cultivation techniques, which made Xia Deshui confused.
didn't talk nonsense, seeing that even Xia Deshui, an outsider, no longer paid attention to him, he felt bored, but he was talking about it, so he changed the topic and talked about the jade road to do business.
"There is the Ancient Tea Horse Road in the south, and there is the Jade Road in the north, which of you knows the Jade Road? Hmph, forgive you for not knowing. "Hu Bu said that he didn't care about the disgusted eyes of others, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, and he could eat it vigorously, "Long before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to envoy to the Western Regions, the gems and jade of the Western Regions were introduced to the Celestial Empire, from Kunlun Mountain and Hetian, to the east through the northwest to Taiyuan, and then to Kaifeng, this is the jade road. Later, after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the silk of the Celestial Empire flowed into the Western Regions, and now the caravans are engaged in silk trading, so it is not appropriate to call it the Jade Road, but it is more ......appropriate to call it the Silk Road."
Someone really couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a sneer: "Hu Laohan, you haven't walked through Lingshou County in your life, how do you know that something so far away, is it a hearing or a dream?" ”
"Haha......" everyone laughed.
Hu Buyan's face turned red, and he dipped his chopsticks in wine and wrote on the table: "The things of the scholars, can they be called dreams when they hear it?" Talking nonsense and nonsense, the sage said that those who do not teach and are good are superior people, those who teach and then are good are ordinary people, and those who teach but are not good are inferior, and you are all inferior people, and inferior people are also inferior people! The so-called Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows the world, and he doesn't understand such a simple truth, but he can't help it. ”
Everyone laughed louder, Xia Deshui couldn't help laughing, he patted Hu Bu on the shoulder and comforted: "The sage also said that there is no class in teaching, you call Hu Bu not to say, just don't say it." ”
"Why didn't I say it? I'm just going to say. Hu Buyan stood up with his neck straight, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, dropped the bowl with a "pop", and took out a letter from his arms, "My son Hu is in Wanli Commercial Bank, he has just returned from the Western Regions, returned to Shangjing, and will go home in a few days." What he said in his letter was what he had seen and heard with his own eyes, hum, what had he seen when he waited for a group of frogs at the bottom of the well? ”
The crowd coaxed, and they had to drive away the nonsense. Xia Deshui saw that it was not too early, got up to say goodbye, and went out of the Wei family with Hu Bushu.
"Brother Xia, do you believe me?" Hu Bu said that he staggered, hugged Xia Deshui's shoulders, and almost fell down several times.
"Believe, how can you not believe?" Xia Deshui didn't believe it, but it was not good to talk nonsense in person, so he had to say perfunctorily, "In addition to the customs and customs of the Western Regions, what else did your son say in the letter?" ”
"He said, there is a new person in the firm, what is it called Xia, Xialai......"
"What?" Xia Deshui's wine woke up half in an instant, "Is this really the case?" ”
"I never talk nonsense, my son never talks nonsense, he said that there is, there must be, don't believe it, you see......" Hu Bu said handed the letter to Xia Deshui, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled, "If you can't read, there is no way." ”
Fortunately, Xia Deshui is not very literate, but he also knows some, he hurriedly opened the letter and looked, many words did not know, but it did not affect him to see Xia Lai's name at a glance, he was ecstatic, Xia Lai is really not dead, Xia Lai is really in Wanli Commercial Bank?
"When will your son come back?" Xia Deshui was extremely excited, and nothing made him happier than knowing the exact news that his son was safe, "Shangjing is not far from Lingshou, and he will be back in three or five days." ”
"Where is the time to return to Lingshou, their firm in Shangjing into the goods, and went to the grassland, this trip, I'm afraid I can't come back for a year and a half, but unfortunately I'm going to spend the New Year alone......" Hu Bu sighed, turned around and left, walked a few steps and turned back to beckon to Xia Deshui, "Once you enter the firm, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on your relatives are passers-by, Brother Xia, if your son is also in the firm, I advise you not to think about him, if you want to see him, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky." In fact, you can also think of it this way, as long as your son has a future, no matter where he is, whether he goes home or not, he is your bloodline. ”
Xia Deshui nodded heavily, as long as Xia Lai is alive, if he is alive, there will be a day when he meets. It's just that the joy in my heart has just risen, and the worry has come again, Xia Lai is sure that there is no doubt that he is safe, what about Xia Go?
I hope that Xia will be safe and sound, and I don't ask him to be rich and rich, as long as he lives, Xia Deshui secretly prayed.
