Chapter 6: It's not that enemies don't get together
I don't know how long it took for the woman to settle down a little.
Wang Zheng said softly: "Don't call me Engong, I call me Wang Zheng, the competitive 'fight'." ”
Seeing that the woman was sobbing and nodding her head, Wang Zheng glanced at the direction in which Liu Wu had fled and asked, "When this Liu Wu left, he said that he was a servant of the Liu family, and is this Liu family very powerful in Ninghaizhou?" ”
Wang Zheng just asked casually, he didn't plan to have anything to do with the Liu family, and he didn't plan to stay in Ninghai Prefecture City for a long time, just grab the medicine and leave.
The woman nodded slightly, and then suddenly reacted, as if she had been in a man's arms, reluctantly leaving Wang Zheng's arms, and facing Wang Zheng slightly.
"Engong's great kindness and great virtue are not reciprocated, so Engong just calls me Zhang Ping."
Wang Zheng felt a little helpless in his heart, and reminded again: "The girl has a good name, she doesn't have to be called Engong, it sounds awkward." ”
Zhang Ping's face rose with a touch of puffiness, and after nodding, he hatefully said what Wang Zheng had just asked.
It turned out that in addition to Dong Chengping, the then governor of Ninghai Prefecture, and Han Dahu, the garrison, Liu Wenruo, the governor of this state, was the most powerful and powerful in the local area.
Unlike Zhizhou and garrison, Tongzhi rarely changes petty officials in a place, and some people have been in this position for years or even more than ten years, and even become a powerful party.
Although Liu Wenruo does not have a family in his hands, there are also many powerful domestic servants, all of whom have their noses cocked to the sky.
The distinction between civil and military affairs in the Ming Dynasty has become more and more distinct at this time, and the matter of Wengui and Wuxi has become a consensus, such as Han Dahu, the garrison of Ninghai Prefecture, who was in charge of all matters in the state of Tuntian and Wei, and deserved to be the leader of Ninghai Prefecture.
But he obeyed the orders of Dong Chengping of Zhizhou in everything, and was constrained by civil officials everywhere, and all the general ministers of the state city violated the yin, but in fact, they colluded with Dong Chengping of Zhizhou, and the garrison Han Dahu actually couldn't manage much of everything.
This also reflects the consensus that the warriors of this era are all respected by civilian officials, of course, if the warriors raise troops to rebel, it is a different matter.
That Liu Wenruo is exactly like this, he is just a small state with a rank of six grades, and there are many martial artists with a higher grade than him in this Ninghai Prefecture, but he is a civil official, and he naturally has privileges in the state city, and even the general thousand generals have to give three points to him.
The man who escaped by Wang Zheng was Liu Wu, a domestic servant in Liu Wenruo's mansion, who was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and had been staring at this beautiful Zhang Ping for a long time, and finally couldn't help but do it today, but fortunately met Wang Zheng.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Ping carefully, he did have a good appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, no wonder Liu Wuhui thought about it.
Wang Zheng saw the lonely Zhang Ping, sighed, and said: "That's it, let's bury the uncle and aunt first, you pack up your things and wait for me here, at most tomorrow I will take you out of the city to Yijingzhuang to ask for a living." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ping's originally desperate eyes suddenly looked at Wang Zheng in surprise.
"Really!? The little woman Zhang Ping thanked Brother Wang! ”
Seeing Zhang Ping struggling to kneel, how can this be done, Wang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, these are all things that should be done!" You take a break, I'm... I'm going to dig a big hole in the backyard. ”
After speaking, Wang Zheng walked back in a little panic, Zhang Ping kept watching Wang Zheng turn, and after a while, Wang Zheng really came back.
Scratching his head embarrassedly, Wang Zheng asked, "That, where is the backyard?" ”
Seeing Wang Zheng, who dared to fight and kill before, was so embarrassed, Zhang Ping couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Originally, there was a backyard, but in the past few years, it was slowly occupied by the Zhu butcher's family next door, and only this small courtyard remained."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ping suddenly looked at the sky, revealing her white neck, and sighed softly.
"That's the only way, it's their will to place my father and mother in this courtyard where they have lived for many years!"
Seeing Zhang Ping's expression, the impetuosity in Wang Zheng's heart gradually stabilized, and the ghost nodded in a hurry.
"Then let's start digging!"
About two hours later, the fiery sun was happily spreading the sun, Wang Zheng and Zhang Ping stood together and quietly looked at the two earthen bags in the courtyard.
Zhang Ping's nose was sore, but she still couldn't hold back her crying, so she lay in Wang Zheng's arms, and Wang Zheng could even feel Zhang Ping's slightly trembling shoulders.
For some reason, Wang Zheng hated Liu Wu even more in his heart, and even hated Liu Wenruo.
Wang Zheng wanted Zhang Ping to stay here to pack her luggage, and after buying medicine in the state city, he would come to pick her up and return to Yijingzhuang.
However, to Wang Zheng's surprise, he only turned around, and Zhang Ping had already packed up his things and came out, and he wanted to grab medicine with Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng was a little puzzled and asked, "Are you ready to clean up?" ”
Seeing the surprise on Wang Zheng's face, Zhang Ping smiled slightly, and finally took a look at the adobe house where he had lived for many years, as if he had made a decision.
nodded and said, "Well, there is nothing to clean up, just take some change of clothes, not to mention that Brother Wang is not familiar with life, isn't it much more convenient to have a little woman to lead the way?" ”
Wang Zheng nodded, what Zhang Ping said was indeed reasonable, and there was no hesitation at the moment, he hid the waist knife in his waist and walked out of the courtyard.
......
After a stick of incense, Wang Zheng and Zhang Ping walked one after another on the street where there were not many people, and there were no more and no fewer small merchants and vendors selling along the street, and the few shops on the street had already started to open for a day.
At this moment, although the two of them are not far away, they both have their own thoughts, Wang Zheng's eyes continue to scan back and forth, while observing and remembering the surrounding situation, while paying attention to whether there are any officers and soldiers to search for him.
After all, the reason for coming in was casual nonsense, according to Wang Zheng's idea, now those officers and soldiers should find out about the killing of Yanding no matter how stupid they are, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to get out of the city.
And Zhang Ping was carrying a burden, her shining eyes swayed closely with Wang Zheng's figure, a sad expression appeared on her face for a while, and she secretly covered her mouth for a while, and she didn't know what to think carefully.
Finally, after a few streets, the two finally came to the nearest pharmacy.
Looking up, there was a black wooden plaque hanging on this pharmacy, with four big characters written "Guihe Pharmacy", Wang Zheng slightly weighed the broken silver in his hand and a few pennies brought by Yijingzhuang.
Although I don't know how many of these are, it should be enough to buy some medicines for the treatment of wind and cold, and if it is not enough, find a way, Wang Liu will not give up no matter what.
Walking into the Guihe pharmacy, Wang Zheng found that the pharmacy at the end of the Ming Dynasty did not have a burst of medicinal smell, but only the expressionless pharmacy owner and a few people queuing up to buy medicine.
Compared with the ragged and old-fashioned people, the owner of this pharmacy was dressed decently, wearing a slightly yellow, well-cut jacket, and a square hat on his head, about forty years old.
After entering the pharmacy, Xiao Yi asked Zhang Ping to wait on the side, walked up to the boss and said with a smile.
"I'm disturbed, my name is Wang Zheng, may I ask what I need to take to heal the wind and cold?"
At first, the boss continued to talk to a woman in front of him, as if he hadn't heard Wang Zheng's words, and only after the woman had left did he look Wang Zheng up and down.
When he saw Wang Zheng's slightly old but not torn clothes, the shopkeeper's face looked better, and he shouted listlessly backwards.
"Ah Fu, here are the guests, grab some herbs to treat the wind and cold!"
Not long after he finished speaking, a man from the pharmacy in a white shirt came running up and handed Wang Zheng a medicine bag tied with yellow paper.
The boss said: "Seeing that you are coming to our Guihe pharmacy for the first time, I will charge you less, and it will be one or two or five dollars of silver." ”
Wang Zheng didn't know anything about these things, and he stared at the boss a few times and didn't see the reason, thinking that either he was thinking too much, or this boss had already reached the realm of deceiving people.
Wang Zheng didn't know how much silver he had in his hand, so he casually threw out two pieces of broken silver, and glanced at the boss's somewhat surprised expression, and knew that he should have given too much.
At that moment, Wang Zheng's heart was relieved, it was enough, and he didn't bother to ask him for change, but he waved his hand and said that he didn't need to look for it, turned around and walked out of the pharmacy.
Wang Zheng had a smile on his face, he was in a good mood, he thought that he would be able to get the herbs in his life, but he didn't expect the journey to be so smooth, and he did a good thing by the way.
Pulling Zhang Ping out of the pharmacy and preparing to go shopping on the street, he was confronted with three sturdy men, all with a waist knife on their waists, obviously with no good intentions.
As soon as he frowned, Wang Zheng was about to get out of the way of Zhang Ping.
"It didn't take much effort to get here, but I didn't expect it, Lao Tzu is back again!"
With a familiar laugh, Wang Zheng looked up and saw that the three big men were followed by Liu Wu, and the surprise of this Liu Wu was vividly displayed with that mouthful of yellow teeth.
Liu Wuchong said viciously to the three big men in front of him: "Brothers, this kid is this kid, who disturbed the good things of my master before, teach him a good lesson!" ”
"After finishing work, I will go to Wanhualou to drink, I Liu Wu invited!"
