Originally, Chen Di planned to go with Mr. Zhang, but he didn't expect Mr. Zhang to talk too much last night, and he had a phlegm illness and wanted to recuperate in Tongzhou Post for a few days. Chen Di had no choice but to take the first step with Old Butler Yan.
At noon that day, Chen Di arrived at the boundary of Cangzhou Mansion in Zhili.
Cangzhou is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. Later generations called it the hometown of martial arts. Presumably, there must be a lot of martial arts masters in Cangzhou Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, right?
Chen Di's carriage entered Cangzhou City. Running all the way, he planned to stay in Cangzhou for a day to rest and rest.
After putting down his luggage at Cangzhouyi, Chen Di wandered around the street with nothing to do.
Cangzhou Mansion has become a practice of martial arts, and people who practice martial arts can be seen everywhere on the street.
In front of a teahouse, Chen Di saw an eight-foot-tall man standing there. This man has dark skin, and the muscles on his body seem to be about to tear through his thin clothes.
Next to the black man was a corpse wrapped in a broken straw mat.
The black man seemed to have tears in his eyes, and he said hoarsely: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, we are Liang Erhei of Yunshan Township, Cangzhou, my mother is seriously ill, and Langzhong of Yunshan Township can't be cured, so I took my mother to Cangzhou Mansion to seek medical advice." But the money was spent, my mother's illness was not cured, and her old man died in the morning. I beg all the good people to give me two dollars, so that I can buy a coffin and bury my mother! β
The shopkeeper of the teahouse walked out and said to the black man: "What should we do with our teahouse if your mother dies?" You put the corpse in front of our teahouse, isn't that going to ruin my business? , go elsewhere and ask for food! β
The black man said, "How can you talk like that." β
The shopkeeper said, "What's wrong with that?" Someone, blow him away! β
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, a few guys from the teahouse came up to push the black man.
Unexpectedly, the black man pushed left and right, and several guys fell to the ground.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse said: "Okay! You're looking for fault and fighting! Do you know that this teahouse has shares of Nancheng Xu Erye! You wait, I'll go to Second Master Xu! β
After the tea, a middle-aged man brought a dozen splashes to the teahouse.
"Who's finding fault here?" The middle-aged man said.
Chen Di thought that this should be the "Second Master Xu of Nancheng" in the mouth of the shopkeeper of the teahouse.
Second Master Xu said: "I'll let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has grown today!" β
After Xu Erye finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen splashes rushed towards the black man.
The black man first swept the hall and swept down three or four splashes. Then he made a move to dig out the heart of the black tiger, and his fist hit a splashy chest, and the splashed skin flew out a foot away.
Seeing that the black man had some effort, more than a dozen other splashes picked up the bricks and wooden sticks on the ground next to him and rushed towards him.
The two sides scuffled together. The black man was unexpectedly hit in the back of the head with a brick by a splasher. Unexpectedly, the black man did not move at all, but the brick became powdered and shattered.
Chen Di thought to himself, this black man seems to have done a good job. This headγγγγγγ It's as hard as steel.
A dozen splashes fell to the ground in a moment.
The "Second Master Xu of Nancheng" saw that the situation was not good, and said: "You, you wait for me!" If we can't beat you, won't you report to the police? β
After speaking, Xu Erye ran away.
Chen Di sincerely wanted to see this excitement, but he didn't leave.
After another cup of tea, four officials in official uniforms came. The head of the fat squad held an iron chain in his hand.
The fat squad leader said: "Who dares to make trouble in Cangzhou City?" Lock it up for me! β
Although the black man had kung fu, he didn't dare to conflict with the officials. After all, he is an official, and he is just a small people. No matter how hard his head is, can it be harder than the waist knife in the hands of the officials?
The black man defended: "It's not me making trouble! I'm just here to ask the good people to reward me with two dollars and bury my mother! β
The fat squad leader said: "I don't care if you bury your mother or your father?" Come on, lock it for me, and bring it back to the yamen. β
At this time, Chen Di walked out of the crowd: "Slow! β
The fat squad turned his head to look at Chen Di and said, "Doll, is it your turn to talk here?" β
Chen Di took out the official certificate in his hand and handed it to the fat squad leader: "I am the new commander of Qinyang County, Henan, passing through Cangzhou." I don't think this man is making trouble, it's the teahouse owner and the group of splashes just now who are making trouble, right? β
The fat squad leader took the official certificate and looked at it, and said with a smile: "You? A little fart kid is a county order? What a laugh out of my big teeth! β
Chen Di was used to all kinds of people questioning his identity, but he was very calm: "Well, then you should treat me as pretending to be an official of the imperial court and lock me in the yamen!" β
The fat squad leader said: "You think I don't dare? Come on, lock these two together!"
Chen Di was locked up and taken to the Cangzhou Mansion. Governor Li of Cangzhou Prefecture is trying the case in court. After hearing a case, Governor Li asked, "Who is in the court?" β
The fat squad knelt down and said: "Yufu Zun, this black man is making trouble in Cangzhou Mansion for no reason!" This kid is even more out of line, he actually pretended to be an official of the imperial court! β
Li Zhifu said: "Pretending to be an official of the imperial court? β
Chen Di said: "Lord Prefect, Xia Guan is the official of the Imperial Court, not a pretend!" There is an official certificate as proof! β
Governor Li asked, "Where is the official?" β
The fat squad leader handed the official certificate to Governor Li with both hands.
Li Zhifu looked at it carefully: "What a big guts! Come on! β
The officials on both sides of the station saw that the prefect was angry, and they knocked on the torture board very cooperatively, and shouted loudly: "Weiγγγγγ Military...... β
The fat squad leader thought that Governor Li was going to execute Chen Di, so he stretched out his hand and wanted to press Chen Di to his knees.
Unexpectedly, Governor Li angrily scolded the fat squad leader and said: "Blind your dog's eyes, the one standing under the hall is Chen Di Chen County Commander!" Come on, drag this dog-eyed thing down and hit twenty boards! β
Governor Li walked down the hall and said to Chen Di: "Lord Chen, the people under him are rude, how offended!" β
Chen Di said with a smile: "Where and where, the age of the lower officials is too young, no wonder the world thinks I am a fake court official." β
Governor Li lowered his voice and said: "I am a student of Yan Cifu, and Yan Cifu received a letter a few days ago, saying that Master Chen, a young jinshi from Xinke, was going to Henan via Cangzhou to take up his post, so that I could receive him." β
Chen Di thought to himself, this Yan Song really regarded him as his own.
Chen Di pointed at the black man and said, "Governor Li, let me say a few words to my friend first." β
Chen Di took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver and handed it to the black man: "Take this money to bury your mother." β
The black man knelt down with an ordinary sound: "My lord, you are really a good person." Thank you! β
Chen Di waved his hand: "Don't worry about thanking me first." Let me ask you, what are your plans to bury your mother? β
The black man said: "In order to treat my mother's illness, my family's land has been sold." It's not okay to go home and farm. I have no choice but to make the world my home, let's take one step at a time. β
Chen Di just saw that this black man was strong in martial arts, and he wanted to go to the land of tigers and wolves in Qinyang, and it was undesirable to have a person who practiced martial arts as a helper, and he sincerely wanted to take this black man for his own use.
Chen Di said: "I am about to go to Henan to be a county magistrate, after you bury your mother, are you willing to go to Henan with me?" I don't dare to say anything else about this county order, but I can still do it for you to find an errand for a government official in the yamen. β
Governor Li said on the side: "Lord Chen is elevating you like this, don't you don't know how to elevate you!" β
The black man exclaimed: "What do you mean, you want me to be an official family?" My lord, you paid for the burial of my mother, and rewarded me with a job, and my life will be yours in the future! From now on, you will let me go east, and I will never go west! β
Chen Di said: "Okay, Liang Erhei, you go and get money to buy a coffin to bury your mother, and look for me at the gate of Cangzhou Post Station at noon tomorrow!" β
Liang Erhei thanked him again, and then left with the silver.
Governor Li said to Chen Di: "You and I are both Yan Cifu's people, I heard people say that your father Chen Kezhen is also a student of Yan Cifu?" According to the seniority, you have to call me uncle. β
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "If you pass through your land, you have to rely on Governor Li's mansion, no, Uncle Shi, you should take care of it!" β
Governor Li said with a smile: "Little nephew, then don't be stunned here!" I'll let people hold a banquet in the internal government immediately, and let's get drunk and rest! β
