Chapter 115: Saving Others

As soon as she entered the house, the girl was still lying on the bed, looking at Li Meng with her eyes open, Li Meng and the girl did not shy away from looking at each other's eyes, only to feel that the other party's bright eyes seemed to have something to say, even in modern times, it was panicked to be stared at by such a beautiful girl, Li Meng coughed dryly, turned his head and asked:

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better......"

After a simple answer, the two sides didn't have anything to say, the room was quiet, Li Meng thought that this was inexplicable, and just when he was about to say goodbye, the girl whispered:

Li ...... Brother Li, can I ask you something? ”

Since the girl was tied to the boat, she has never called Li Meng, this time she timidly called "Brother Li", which is really a bit contrary to common sense, thinking about the other party's appearance of being frightened and frightened these days, I can't help but soften my heart, and then what excessive requirements can a girl have, Li Meng turned around and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"The father and son who were newly admitted to the inn said that they were relatives, but as soon as they lived, they were arrested by the people of the county government, saying that they were colluding with bandits, the crime of great rebellion, and his son was crying in the yard pitiful......"

Li Meng frowned, feeling that this matter might have something to do with the young man he had seen at the gate of the county government, but the girl was lying on the bed, how did she know about this matter, and looked at her inquiringly, the girl shrank into the quilt, and whispered with a smile:

"When I heard crying outside, my mother-in-law, who was waiting for me, went out to inquire about it, and came back to tell me that the father was still a lifter. Scholars would do this kind of thing, if they were in Kaifeng Mansion......"

How could a scholar not do such a thing, but Li Meng didn't refute it, for him, it was not a big deal to meet a helper, especially if the people around him still asked for it.

I told the girl to get some rest. Didn't notice that the girl was staring at herself all the time. Li Meng turned around and went out the door, and casually found a famous salt ding for him to inquire.

Before dinner, the matter was inquired clearly, it turned out that a person from Baofeng came to visit relatives in the Lu family, because he didn't know that the city gate was closed early, so he delayed the journey, and he could only stay in the inn for one night, or the innkeeper vacated his room.

Who knows early this morning. Just when he was about to go out, several county officials came, and for no reason the father and son were arrested, and the son was released at noon.

However, as soon as the lawsuit was filed, the money was sent out in the morning. This is to release his son, but the people of Lu's county government do not do dark things, and directly explain that someone wants to entrust Zhang Renlong, the magistrate of the county, to clean up this person and take two hundred taels of silver. We'll let them go.

If there is no silver, it is impossible to say that this person will be killed tomorrow in the dungeon, although the person has a meritorious reputation, but now that the west of Henan is in chaos, it is possible to raise people accidentally in the prison There are three long and two short things It is also possible to inquire about specific things clearly. However, according to the results of the inn's guys and Yanding's inquiry. Listening to the other party's servants, they were not too careful when they raised people's old man's words. offended Shi Keli, the magistrate of Baofeng County, and did everything possible to find fault and provoke these days, but their family was still a big family in Baofeng, and they didn't dare to be too embarrassed for a while.

There is a way to "break the county order", if you can't get the two hundred taels of silver, it is not impossible for someone to die in the prison of Lu's county.

Li Meng didn't hesitate, and directly ordered someone to take two hundred taels of silver and let people send it to the young man, and there was no harm in doing more things in the snow.

In a short time, the young man's face was flushed, and he had come to the door, and he didn't say much, but knelt down directly at the door, knocking his head a few times, and the depressed and empty expression he saw at noon was still gone, replaced by joy and excitement.

This young man looks a little delicate, but he really looks like a scholar, kowtowing very hard, when he looks up, his forehead is already oozing blood, Li Meng has not reacted much, a few heads have already kowtowed, Li Meng walked a few steps to the front, and quickly helped the person up, the young man said with a crying voice:

"Uncle Li's great kindness, the student really doesn't know how to repay you."

Although the family background is not bad, but in such a small place, the annual income can have a hundred taels of silver, which is a very good person, and it is really a lot of money to take out two hundred taels of silver at once, and this is really a timely rain, which is equivalent to saving the life of this young man's father.

Li Meng patted the other party on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't say more, send the silver quickly, and let your father suffer less sin, and tomorrow your father and son will return to Baofeng as soon as the city gate is opened, so as not to cause another incident."

With tears in his eyes, the young man nodded vigorously, and said with tears in his mouth:

"This time when we return to our hometown, our Niu family will inevitably offer Uncle Li's tablet, I don't know if Engong can tell where he lives, and if he has the opportunity, he must repay the favor!"

Li Meng naturally couldn't tell the other party that he was from Shandong and was still a garrison military attaché, so he just smiled and said:

"It's just that I can help once, you and I meet in Pingshui, there may not be any chance to meet in the future, or it doesn't have to!"

To do great good but not to leave a name, this is really the behavior of a saint, in addition to the look of gratitude on the face of the excited young man, there is a lot of reverence, nodding heavily, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing a few times, only then he left gratefully.

It was already dark, and it was inconvenient for Li Meng to enter the girl's room, so she asked the mother-in-law who took care of her to talk about it, and so on the next morning, the mother-in-law on duty said to Li Meng, after the girl heard the news, she was happy all night, and she could hear the girl's laughter when she dreamed. Yesterday, Meng En went out to sell goods with those shops, although it was just the goods that came with the ship, but for the shops in this small county town, there were still too many of them to eat.

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the girl's illness is almost cured after a night, and she is already bouncing in the yard again, but maybe there is a change, for example, when I see Li Meng, I have been quiet, and even Li Meng can see that the quietness is strong self-restraint, which is very awkward.

If the goods can't be sold, they can't be sold, Li Meng doesn't care too much, the Lu family really doesn't mean anything in his opinion, he has already passed down the order, before the city gate is closed, the team will leave the city.

After breakfast, Li Meng packed his weapons and luggage by himself, short guns, short knives and daggers in his boots, and it was time to maintain them.

When he was oiling the short gun, he heard Meng En shouting outside the door, his voice was still a little excited, and he said in a low voice:

"Master Li, the grocery store said that someone wanted to see you......

Hearing this, Li Meng didn't care about the weapon in his hand, and stood up on the bed suddenly, of course the small grocery store would not invite Li Meng to come over for a solemn discussion in order to eat a few pieces of cloth and a few jars of soju, the only possibility was naturally for Li Meng to inquire about the Qingyan matter.

Shoved the weapon into the futon, Li Meng called a few salt dings, got on the horse and rushed towards the grocery store, Li Meng really felt the surprise and wanted to arrive as soon as possible.

The county seat is not big, a few horses whistling past, it must be a blink of an eye, Li Meng on the horse but saw the young man and a middle-aged man who gave the silver yesterday standing at the intersection and walking towards this side, presumably his father has been rescued from the county jail, and saw Li Meng from a distance, the father and son were full of gratitude and bowed their hands on the side of the road.

Li Meng didn't have time to say hello, but waved his hand and shouted when he passed by:

"It's okay, let's go back to our hometown soon!!"

The wind was whistling in his ears, and the two people behind him also shouted a few words of thanks, but they didn't hear it clearly, but they didn't have to care.

It didn't take much effort, Li Meng and a few people had already arrived at the grocery store, the façade of this grocery store was very simple, that is, a few rammed earth houses with half of the windows open to the street, and when they came to inquire yesterday, they didn't see a few customers, and they were deserted.

Today, the situation is a little different, the store is lively, there are quite a few customers shopping there, and there are three stalls selling dates outside, although there are many people, but they are all listless.

When Li Meng rode over, these people all looked back, stopped talking, slowed down the horse, and Chen Liu, who was beside him, came over and said:

"These people look like soldiers, and those jujube dealers are tied under their sins

Wang Hai is also a person who has experienced life and death, so he can naturally see it, and Li Meng already feels that it is wrong, but he feels that the situation in front of him shows that there are salt goods, and looking at the vendors and customers, they are all dark and rough, and they are completely like old farmers.

Such a kind of martial artist, after all, is not a Jinyi guard or an official soldier, those people seem more decent, in Li Meng's opinion, these people are really like the role of the salt lord guard.

The guys in the store saw Li Meng and them coming, and hurriedly went out to greet them, although their faces were still cold, but there were a lot more words than yesterday:

"My shopkeeper is waiting in the courtyard of the store, come with me."

The so-called sick excitement is estimated to be in the current state, very energetic, still in the code word, everyone continues to refresh, the monthly pass is smashed to Lao Bai, the back is chasing tightly, the front is strong, it's really panicked
