Chapter 63: The Head of the Capital (2)

Li Zhen saw that Shen Liangchen's face was even more ugly, so he called the shop downstairs, pointed to Ximenqing and asked, "What did this guy do?" Why did so many people welcome him? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The shopkeeper replied: "I heard that it was the Ximen officials who exterminated all the thieves on the Crouching Tiger Ridge and beheaded the head of the thief, so the people in the county came out to welcome him." ”

Li Zhen, the thief on Crouching Tiger Ridge, has heard of it, and said with a little disbelief: "That gang of thieves is said to be no less than a thousand people, and the head of the thief is even more vicious. ”

The shopkeeper also muttered a little in his heart, he knew Ximenqing's bravery, although he had a big name in the county, but the Crouching Tiger Ridge was full of thieves who killed people without blinking, how could he be the enemy. Looking at Li Zhen and the others with unhappy faces, he said carefully: "It's all nonsense outside, and the villain doesn't know very well, so it must have been a mistake." ”

Shen Zhong couldn't help but snort coldly: "A businessman, but a peddler, what kind of official dare to be called?" I'm afraid that I caught a few thieves on the road, but I sold them as the head of the thieves, which is ridiculous and hateful. ”

As soon as the welcome ended, I heard someone shouting loudly on the side: "I'm afraid this minister is wrong." ”

Before everyone turned their heads, they saw a fruit seller on the next table, and Li Zhen asked, "Who are you?" And what do you know? ”

This little guy is not an outsider or Brother Yun, he knows Li Zhen, and first sang to Li Zhen: "I am just a little guy selling fruits on the street, but I also know that Brother Ximen is a good man with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, wisdom and bravery, but he is not the peddler in the mouth of this minister." ”

"Benevolence and righteousness? Both brave and resourceful? It's a big breath, tell me, what ability does he have, what has he done, and can he be called like this? Li Zhen then asked, although he looked down on Shen Zhang a little, but as a student, he had a natural contempt for a person like Ximen Qing.

The shopkeeper saw that several Li Zhen and the two of them had bad faces, so they scolded: "What is your identity, how dare you talk to the two ministers like this, if you don't hurry up and get out of here, if you are a step late, you will break your legs." ”

"Shopkeeper, you just let him say, I'll see if I'm wrong about what I said?" Shen Zhang looks down on Ximen Qing, a figure who is a peddler, in addition to being covered with copper smell, what big things can he do? It's just a boast.

Brother Yun cleared his throat, and poured out all the things that Fu Ping taught himself, word for word, and everyone in the restaurant heard that Ximen Qing was saving the villager Su Zheng, breaking into the thief's village alone, and wielding a knife to kill the thief, they all praised and applauded, and shouted, "Sure enough, it is our Yanggu hero, the store is serving wine, and I want to drink three cups." ’

This matter was originally spread by Fu Ping in order to help Ximen Qing become famous, and after Fu Ping's processing and embellishment of things, the things that were already applauded became more heartfelt, heroic and fearless, but all the people in Yanggu County, after listening to it, they all felt honored, even those from other places, they also had to clap their hands and praise, and said that they were really heroes.

Seeing that everyone could hear it, Brother Yun'er looked pale, raised his face and asked: "Li Daguan, I don't know if my brother Ximen can be worthy of both wisdom and bravery, benevolence and righteousness?" What the prime minister said just now, is it still right? If you don't believe it, you can all go to the county office to take a look, and see if my brother Yun is talking nonsense, just Li Dutou, but Brother Ximen, who went to pick it up in person, said that it was the county magistrate who invited him. ”

At this time, everyone believed it, and when Brother Yun was talking about it, someone went down to investigate, and the news that came back was not much different from what Brother Yun said.

Li Zhen was embarrassed to be asked, and Shen Liangchen was even more embarrassed, after all, he had just degraded Ximen Qing to worthlessness, and he had the heart to quibble a few more words, and suddenly a cold wind came over and woke up the drunken spirit in his heart.

"How can I do that? How can you make a peddler mess up his mind? No matter how good he is, he is not a scholar of my generation? can't be a big deal, although the Chen family lady is beautiful and brilliant, but how can the husband be confused by women, his family came to Yanggu not to be jealous, but there are still big things to do, if it is done well, what kind of woman in a high position in the future is idle, and for the Chen family lady, she is not without a chance, and she still has some time to live in Yanggu County. ”

"Haha, heroes don't ask where they come from, wealth should think about the reason, but I shouldn't have words, please have a drink." Shen Liangchen suddenly laughed, saluted the surroundings, relieved Fang Cai's embarrassment, turned his head and looked at Li Zhen with a smile, pointed to Ximenqing's back and said: "This person is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, wisdom and bravery, and he is really a hero, but I don't know when my generation of scholars will soar in the sky." ”

His sentence seems to be a joke, but he is saying that no matter how powerful Ximenqing is, he is no more than a hero in one place, and it is difficult to do anything, but they are scholars, but they are people who have the opportunity to go up to heaven and see the saint in front of the king, this is the real husband.

………………

The people in the county heard that Ximenqing had done such a big thing, and they all came out to see it, if it weren't for Li Dutou in front of him, Ximenqing didn't know when he would arrive at the county office.

When he arrived, the county officials were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly went to ask the county minister.

Ximen Qing saw that the county magistrate was about to salute, but he was stopped and said, "You are Ximen Qing?" ”

"The villain is Ximenqing."

The magistrate saw Ximenqing so burly and chic, and he was knowledgeable, and his heart filled with three points of goodwill, "You killed the thief on Crouching Tiger Ridge?" ”

Ximenqing shook his head and said: "The one who beheaded the thief was the villain's sibling Jiao Ting, and the villain didn't dare to take credit." ”

Master Qian got the benefits sent by Ximenqing, praised him, and helped him speak: "Xianggong, he is a humble and honest person. ”

The magistrate nodded and said: "Although you didn't kill the thief leader, if it weren't for you, the thief leader wouldn't know how long he would be in trouble, and the thieves on Crouching Tiger Ridge didn't know how many neighbors he was going to kill, and you were the first to take credit for this matter." ”

After that, he gave Ximenqing three cups of good wine and three thousand copper bills.

Ximen Qingbai fell to the ground and said: "The reason why this battle was won was because of the blessing and blessing of the prime minister, and the brothers worked hard to get rid of the thief, but the villain only used the power of the end, how dare he take the first credit?" How dare you accept the gift of the prime minister? ”

"You deserve it, take it."

"In this case, the villain suffers, but this time the thief is removed, if there is no Li Dutou and the county public who was injured last time the thief was injured, it is better to disperse this money for everyone to use, and it also seems to be fair and magnanimous."

"He is indeed a righteous man, I heard his name a few days ago, but I don't want it to be true." The money master bookkeeper praised it, and the beginning of his speech began.

The county magistrate already liked Ximenqing a little, and when he saw that Qian Zhushu said a reason, he asked, and Qian Zhushu said that Ximenqing rescued the lonely elderly, gave medicine bait, beat Shen Zhong, and eliminated harm for the people.

"Listening to you say this, he is a loyal and benevolent person, since he has the ability and is a good person, why don't you be promoted to the county and work for you and me?"
