Chapter 20: The First Pot of Gold
"Dead old man, weren't you arrogant just now?" Yang Lian is not a good person, he was beaten and scolded by Li Xiongxin just now, and he had already held his breath in his heart. Fire? Correct? Wen?? w?w?w?.? Besides, the old man actually plotted against him, which made Yang Lian feel even more aggrieved, how could he do it without saying this?
Without waiting for Li Xiongxin to reply, Yang Lian jumped up and kicked Li Xiongxin in the chest. Li Xiongxin rolled on the ground twice, his heart was heart-rending, and his ribs seemed to be broken, but he couldn't care about it, climbed a few steps, knelt in front of the county lord of Huairou, and said, "County lord, the villain still thinks it's the servant of the Qi Wangfu who escaped......"
"Even if it's a domestic slave in the Qi Palace, it's not something you can bully." Lord Huairou said coldly. Yang Lian's kick just now was hard and accurate, which was very much in line with the mind of the county lord of Huairou. If it weren't for the scruple of the image, she would have applauded a long time ago.
Li Xiongxin was dumbfounded for a moment, he thought that this delicate-looking county lord would be kinder, but he didn't expect that the county lord of Huairou was not gentle at all.
Yang Lian stepped forward, grabbed Li Xiongxin's collar, and said, "Although you have a reason why those who don't know are not guilty, it's a pity that you offended the master, what I said, do you remember?" ”
"Don't show up in Jinling?" Li Xiongxin said, his voice trembling.
"It's just one sentence, and the next one is just as important." Yang Lian kindly reminded him.
"See once and hit once?" Li Xiongxin took a lot of effort and remembered Yang Lian's words.
"That's right! That's it. Yang Lian smiled, grabbed Li Xiongxin's collar with one hand, and slapped him in the face with the other.
Li Xiongxin was dizzy from the beating, and he couldn't think normally. His cheeks hurt hotly and his nose seemed to be bleeding.
The groom and the two big men, who were called Xiao Erhei, also lay on the ground, their bodies trembling. Yang Lian's fierce expression frightened them, and then looked at the guards beside the county lord, all of them were fully armed, and the blades in their hands flashed with bloodthirsty light, how could there be any reason not to be afraid? The two rangers said that they were rangers, but they were just gangsters who were ugly, and it was okay to bully ordinary people, where did they dare to argue with the guards of the Qi Palace?
Yang Lian's body had not yet grown, and he was drugged by Li Xiongxin, tied up for a long time, lacked strength, beat him more than a dozen times, and he was out of breath, so he had to stop.
"Childe, the villain has eyes and doesn't know, and I hope that Childe will spare his life. The villain is willing to compensate, compensate. Li Xiongxin said busily, and as he spoke, a few wisps of blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"How to compensate?" Yang Lian became interested.
"The villain is willing to give ten dollars to apologize to the son." Li Xiong thought for a moment and said.
The price of goods in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not high, ten hangs of money is roughly ten taels of silver, Yang Lian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this old man, wishful thinking is quite loud. He smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm a scholar, how could I ask you for money?" ”
"That's good, that's good." Li Xiongxin whispered in a barely audible voice, happy in his heart.
"Uncle, your inn is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the willows are still around, which is very beautiful." Yang Lian smiled.
"If the son likes it, you might as well stay for a few more days, and the villain won't charge money!" Li Xiongxin hurriedly said.
"How many days? No, I want to stay at least for a year or two. Yang Lian shook his head.
"This, Childe doesn't mind, it's okay to live for seven or eight years." Li Xiongxin said, and quickly added: "Don't want money." "I think about it, how could Yang Lian live in the inn for seven or eight years?
"What's embarrassing if you don't want money?" Yang Lian smiled faintly, took out two pennies from his arms, handed them to Li Xiongxin, and said in a low voice: "Your inn, give it to me today, change your surname to Yang." ”
Li Xiong's heart and body trembled, this kid actually wanted to buy his inn for two pennies, which was too dark. But when he raised his head and saw the angry face of the county lord of Huairou, he was a little afraid, looking at the appearance of this little county lord, he was very grateful to this benefactor. To be disrespectful to this kid is to be disrespectful to the county lord, and to be disrespectful to the county lord is to be disrespectful to the king of Qi, this sin is too big.
"It's okay if you don't give it, I'll let you taste the taste of fried meat with bamboo shoots, or wontons." Yang Lian said in a low voice again, with a smile on his face.
Li Xiong's heart and body trembled, although he didn't know what the so-called stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots and wontons were, but it was definitely not good. Li Xiongxin touched the scars on his face, which was the main hit of Xiaojun, thinking of this, his face turned pale, and he regretted it very much in his heart. But regret is useless, Yang Lian insisted on buying his inn for two pennies, this deal is really a loss.
Knowing this, he still honestly waited for Yang Lian to come back, confirmed his identity and then went to the Qi Palace, how could there be such a bad thing? Li Xiongxin shook his head again and again, he was really blind, and the vegetable household did such a stupid thing.
The county lord of Huairou was behind, and he couldn't hear Yang Lian's words clearly, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?" ”
Yang Lian turned his head and said with a smile: "My husband said that he wanted to invite me to tea." Turning his head, he said: "You know the methods of the county lord, if I speak, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to keep the inn, but the lives of the family will also be lost in Jinling." ”
Li Xiongxin sighed, and the bitter fruit he planted had to be swallowed with tears. The county lord didn't say a word, and the head and face were beaten indiscriminately, which was indeed more terrifying than Yang Lian. I had to smile bitterly and said, "Childe, I have an old man and a young ...... here."
"Stop! Besides, there was not a penny, and the whole family was thrown into a prison to drink the northwest wind. Yang Lian interrupted him coldly.
Li Xiongxin moved his lips and swallowed the dissatisfaction in his heart, but he was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "Thank you for your great kindness." ”
"That's what it sounds like." Yang Lian slowly stood up, looked at the two big men and Xiao Erhei, and said, "From today onwards, the three of you will follow me." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Erhei was taken aback, looked at Yang Lian, and then at Li Xiongxin, not knowing what to say.
"You can follow him in the future." Li Xiongxin waved his hand, stood up, limped into the carriage, and broke a few ribs, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"What about you two? Have you thought about it? Just now, you punched me. Yang Lian said lightly.
A man glanced at the guards behind Yang Lian and knew that if he didn't comply, he would be beaten lightly. The innkeeper has already been convinced just now, how dare he be forced? Busy said: "Childe is righteous, we are willing to follow Childe's side." ”
One answered, and the other quickly answered, Yang Lian was very satisfied with this, and asked the names of the two people, the person who punched him was called Wang Hu, and the other person was called Zhao Peng. Yang Lian waved his hand to let the two of them get up, and looked at them carefully, the two of them were burly, about eight feet, and in this era, their height was not low. Moreover, the two of them can not only act as guards, but also as coolies when necessary, which is really cost-effective.
Seeing Yang Lian touching his chin and smiling, the two of them trembled in their hearts, a little scared, Yang Lian's smile was too weird.
"You guys go back first, and I'll go to the inn later." Yang Lian commanded.
The three of them answered, and Xiao Erhei drove the carriage back to the inn.
"You're still laughing? Dare to sneak away. Seeing Yang Lian's appearance, the county lord of Huairou was angry, and said angrily, and by the way, he also danced a few leather whips, which made people shudder.
"What do you mean by sneaking, I'm walking in the open, what else did I do before leaving?" Yang Lian blinked, not afraid, and made a thoughtful expression.
The county lord of Huairou turned red when he heard this, this prodigal son of the enthronement has insulted himself several times, and he has to give him a good look. It's just that she didn't think of a good idea for a while, how to punish him?
Just as he was thinking, a eunuch hurriedly came, came to the county lord's side, and said, "County lord, the prince wants to see you." ”
The county lord of Huairou rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "This county lord knows. ”
The eunuch smiled and said, "County Lord, the prince is in a hurry." ”
"Alright, alright." The county lord of Huairou pursed his lips and said, "Don't rush, let's go." He glanced at Yang Lian again and said, "You are waiting for the county lord here." But if you don't listen, you'll be skinned. ”
Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Go quickly." Seeing that the county lord of Huairou rushed in, Yang Lian smiled, turned around and left, not caring at all.
The lord of Huairou rushed into the palace, and when he arrived in the back hall, he saw his father pacing in the courtyard, looking worried.
"The daughter has seen her father." Lord Huairou said.
"Yo, good girl, you're here." Li Jingsui had a smile on his face, and when he saw his daughter, he was in a much better mood.
"Father, what were you thinking just now?" Lord Huairou asked.
"Nothing, just a few trifles." Li Jingsui said with a smile, he didn't want to tell his daughter these things.
The lord of Huairou said: "Father, my daughter has grown up, she is no longer a child, and she can share her father's worries." ”
"Okay, good, you're the most sensible." Li Jingsui stretched out his hand and scraped his daughter Qiong's nose, with a doting expression, at this time he is not the king of Qi, let alone the king of Qi above 10,000 people under the Tang Dynasty, but a father, a father who loves his daughter.
The county lord of Huairou frowned and said in a low voice: "If he is here, it will definitely be solved." The scene from a few days ago resurfaced in her mind. Although he was very unhappy that he beat himself, the county lord of Huairou also knew very well that it was the witty Yang Lian who saved him. Perhaps, he can help his father?
Li Jingsui asked strangely, "He?" Who is he? ”
"It's the one who saved my daughter, and my daughter told you." Lord Huairou said.
"Oh?" Li Jingsui came to be interested, yesterday his daughter told him about it, but the county lord of Huairou had been running around for a day, and he was already sleepy, Li Jingsui just asked briefly, and when he heard his daughter say it, he was a little interested in Yang Lian, so he said: "What was the situation a few days ago?" You say come and hear it. ”
The county lord of Huairou told the things about being born in Henglin Town one by one, although her eloquence was not good, but the matter was thrilling, Yang Lian attacked at the right time, and after injuring the third child, he did not fall in love with the battle, but chose to flee. Subsequently, when the carriage was damaged, he used the dense forest to deal with the enemy, and successfully killed the second child with the trap of the hunting beast. Although there is an element of luck in it, this courage and wit are indeed very accessible, and they have successfully attracted Li Jingsui's attention.
