Chapter 10: The Troubled Lord
A few people carried money in their waists and rode high-headed horses to drink, and their spirits naturally did not need to be described. I didn't expect me Luo Jie to have today! Not to mention the smoke coming from the ancestral tomb, it is also the poor ghost who was kicked out of the house. There is no need to mention the matter of drinking, naturally there is good wine and good meat spread all over the table. A group of people drank until the third watch, and then returned happy.
We hummed our guns and picked off King Xiaoliang, and let the horses move forward slowly, so happy. When I walked to Zhangjialou, I saw an old woman burning yellow paper on the side of the road, crying so miserably, and the feet of the dead man rolled in the mat on the side of the road were exposed! Bad luck! What a bad luck! While I was reciting Yuan Xianglizhen, good luck. While moving the horse to get around.
"Auntie (an honorific title for an elderly woman), if you can't be resurrected in life, don't cry." Chen Daxi said drunkly.
After speaking, the old woman cried even louder, and howled as she cried: "Poor Li'er, I have not enjoyed a day of happiness...... Selling a little salt was beaten to death by the government...... No money...... If you have money, you won't be killed...... "We listened for a while, and we could see what was going on.
I took a closer look at the mat on which the corpse was rolled. Sure enough, blood oozed from under the mat. It seems that the owner of the corpse was really killed!
"Auntie, that's it. Tell me, maybe I can help you out with that! Chen Daxi said: "Look at us, we are all running the rivers and lakes, and we are in charge of this unfair matter!" With that, he drew his saber.
One is to get drunk, and the other is to show off in front of people with the strength of wine. We also took out long knives and short daggers. The old mother has never seen this formation! immediately stopped crying, grabbed Chen Daxi and told him about the matter.
It turned out that the family's surname was Li. The deceased was the son of an old mother. The family was poor, had no land, and relied on his son to work hard to support the family. But there are too many poor people, and the competitiveness of working as coolies is also great, and often the whole family starves together. This Li brother had no choice but to take risks and go to Taihe and Shenqiu in Anhui Province at night to sell some private salt to support his family. Unfortunately, when I walked to the store with some salt on my back yesterday, I was caught by the salt inspection. A group of them can run, and those who can't run away will pay bribes to inspect. And this Li family brother has no money, and is willing to leave the private salt. As a result, he was slapped several times by the patrol. The Li brothers were beaten, and they didn't dare to make a mistake. can only suffer in silence. I didn't think about it, just because I watched the inspection when I was beaten, and was inspected and said that he was plotting misdeeds and intended to retaliate. A few patrols were beaten to death if they were not light or heavy! After beating someone, they threw them in a roadside irrigation ditch. The salt dealers were also angry and carried the body back.
When Chen Daxi heard this, he said to his old mother: "Auntie, I will avenge this revenge for you." Within three days, someone will send you money and a coffin. It's half-hung money, you take it first. The old mother reached out and took the money, and thanked her a thousand times.
On the way back, I asked Chen Daxi: "Brother, are you really ready to avenge her?" ”
"Luo Jie, have you forgotten the one or two pieces of silver today?" Chen Daxi said.
"Of course I remember, I will never forget it in my life!" I said indignantly.
"It's still patrolling with the guys in the store. This group of people relied on the convenience of patrolling the Henan-Anhui border to make a lot of money. I want them all to spit it out! If you don't die, you have to peel off a layer of their skin! Chen Daxi said.
"Brother, there seem to be a lot of people at that inspection point! I'm afraid a few of us can't beat it! I said.
"Don't be afraid. If you are unprepared, you are afraid of encountering those who are prepared. I'm going to arrange something here, and make a surprise attack on him! Things will work out! Chen Daxi said confidently: "You guys, after dawn, do what I ask." Luo Jie and Chen Wen, you two go to Xiangbei Tangzhuang to find a few of my friends and Yang Kexing, you take my letter to the blacksmith shop in the city to find my brother Li Dagui and come back with dozens of red cherry gun heads. Wu Tian, you are responsible for buying ten loads of wine, two pigs, two sheep, melons, fruits and vegetables, and by the way, invite Chef Yue of Chenjiazhai. I'll go find old acquaintances and get together again, and I'll have a big feast tomorrow night!" ”
Well. It seems that the elder brother of the Chen family has really thought of a plan.
