Ding Ergou stared at the silver on the ground and swallowed, "When did Lao Tzu's silver fall here?" He was followed by Hu Hai and Geng Da. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Nonsense!" Aunt Fang had the heart to reprimand, but her tone was weak and she couldn't control the scene. "I just sold the embroidery for sixty taels of silver, how did it become yours?"

"How much money did you earn from needlework? Who are you getting? ”

More and more villagers gathered over, including Aunt Fang's eldest uncle and younger uncle, perhaps because of the large number of bystanders, Hu Hai and Geng Da, who were not good-looking, immediately changed their faces, and one of them said: "This matter has to be litigated." ”

Zhu Qiming was like seeing a fly, and a deep sense of disgust suddenly came to his heart. Whether this silver belongs to Ding Ergou or not, others may not know, but you two know best!

He didn't understand why the two people who looked like the officials had such words, and when they were about to refute each other, he hesitated in his heart, worried that he would attract the suspicion of the officials, so he desperately gathered the accent of the capital, mixed with the tone of the aunts above, and said: "The caravan hasn't gone far yet, is it the silver that Aunt Fang sells embroidery, is it clear to catch up and ask?" ”

"yes, wouldn't it be clear if you asked?" The villagers chimed in.

Hu Hai and Geng Feng took the lead in slipping away, and Ding Ergou glanced at Zhu Qiming fiercely, "Stinky boy, wait and see!" Then he hurriedly squeezed out of the pile.

Such a villain, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, I don't know how many villagers will be bullied by him! At this moment, Zhu Qiming's heart moved, and he began to design the end for Ding Ergou.

A farce quickly ended, and Aunt Fang's hanging heart fell into her stomach, but Zhu Qiming's heart could no longer be quiet.

There are too many questions to be solved, there are too many unknown risks quietly approaching, it is time to meet Xun Dashanren, at least, in this remote village, the only power that Aunt Fang's family can rely on seems to be the Xun family, if the Xun family, which Ding Ergou is afraid of, stands by, then Aunt Fang's hard life in the future will be far away.

From the mouths of others, Zhu Qiming learned that Master Xun never refused to see the township, and he had a good name. Xun Liang, interesting, the rule of the officials is good, and the world is governed!

Coming to the gate of Xun's house, Zhu Qiming reported: "Xiao Ming of Lujia Village asked to see Master Xun. ”

The servant woman turned around and entered, returned after a while, and led Zhu Qiming to a place that looked like a study.

Standing outside the study, Zhu Qiming was a little entangled in his heart, if he called himself a "boy" at that time, he would be disrespectful to himself; If you call it "I", you are disrespectful. It's better to call yourself a "late student", although it is nondescript, but it does not harm each other.

A scholar came to lead Zhu Qiming into the study, and then left lightly.

There are no flowers and plants in the study, no incense, and there are books all around, only a delicate bookcase and four chairs that do not carry the weight of books.

A man in his early forties slowly stood up, his green shirt and short beard, his eyes were like torches, he looked like he was poetic and bookish, and the corners of his slightly wrinkled eyes and the corners of his mouth were floating with a three-point smile, as if he was born with it.

"I heard Xin'er say that there is a little relative of Lu Erniang's family in Lujia Village who can read history books, it must be you, please take a seat." Xun Liang looked at Zhu Qiming deeply, but did not bring discomfort to the latter.

Xin'er? That girl's name is Xun Xin? Although this Xun master is familiar with poetry and books, he is very careless, and accidentally sold his daughter's maiden name.

Zhu Qiming bowed his hand, "I thanked the master in my late life." ”

"Late birth? can read history books, so it's okay to call yourself like this. Xun Liang raised his hand again to invite, and the two took their seats one after another.

"Late Born Here ······"

Zhu Qiming only said four words, and Xun Liang waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to say any more. "There are a lot of children here, and now it seems that you are the only one who can make people unforgettable."

This remark has already involved the mystery in Zhu Qiming's heart, two groups of people have come to the door to inquire about his whereabouts, the Xun family must have also noticed their existence, but they are still very safe, as for the level of security, it seems that at this moment it can be known as an audience.

"It's even more curious to be able to read history at a young age, you must be a very smart child." Xun Liang expressed doubt, but there was no lack of kindness in his tone.

Zhu Qiming realized that the idea of trying his luck at the Xun family was really risky, perhaps because of the excellent first impression of the Xun family, and the good impression swayed his will. So far, though, my luck seems to be good.

"A few days ago, two groups of people came to inquire about a ten-year-old child, and the people who came were not good." Xun Liang paused for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Qiming deeply, "The Xun family has some family business, and there are many people who come to the door, if it is good to others, the Xun family will naturally not refuse, as for helping others to do evil, the Xun family will definitely not do it." ”

The words are not spoken, but they seem to be hinting: Relax, the Xun family will not betray you!

The mystery has been solved! Zhu Qiming's good impression of the Xun family was further deepened, and he realized that Xun Liang did not treat himself as just a child, perhaps because he read history at a young age and made him look at it differently.

At this moment, there was a very light footstep outside the study, and after a moment it fell silent again.

Zhu Qiming looked at Xun Liang suspiciously, Xun Liang just smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't care.

"I heard everything that happened in Lujia Village at noon. The appearance of caravans from the Western Regions in this area is quite unusual. Xun Liang's face was worried, as if he was talking to himself.

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that he should show off his knowledge to see if he could make this master open his heart even more. "It is said that the caravan from the Western Regions should turn south from Datong Mansion and enter Beijing through the Bauhinia Pass, but they detour from the northern route here, needless to say, there will be Tartar thieves on the side of Datong Mansion, and the caravan from the Western Regions is worried that they will encounter plundering when marching on the plains. In addition, they walked through the mountains and avoided official roads because the items they carried were of great value. ”

Xun Liang looked at Zhu Qiming in a daze for a while, his eyes showed a look of admiration, and then he sighed quietly: "In order to control the Silk Road, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to use troops several times. Alas, now I let Warat besiege my Daming family, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find peace in the future! ”

Although Xun Liang's words did not suit Zhu Qiming's intentions, Zhu Qiming personally witnessed the entry of the Tartar thieves, and after hearing the words, he couldn't help but return to the place where the Forbidden City met again, and secretly said that the news must have already reached the capital.

Xun Liangwu pondered for a long time, and then smiled at Zhu Qiming, and laughed at himself: "It's been a long time since I've met each other's speculative talkers, the words are so sad, don't laugh at the little brother." ”

Brothers? In that case, how should Xun Xin call me? Hey, fun!

"Listening to the Master's words is better than reading!"

At the right time, Xun Liang's face was a little proud, and the conversation became more interesting. "The Zhuang family is honest, and their minds are not worthy of you, little brother, needless to say, if I am not mistaken, you must have come to me for Lu Erniang's troubles." glanced at Zhu Qiming deeply again, "You are a guest in Lujia Village, and it is commendable that you can treat people like this." How can the villagers not help? The Xun family has a group of masters in the nursing home, and it is not difficult to secretly teach the ruffians a lesson. ”

Zhu Qiming's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said secretly: The Xun family is righteous!

"However, this matter involves servitude, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Xun Liang seemed to have a hidden worry in his eyes.

"Xu Servant?" Zhu Qiming's heart sank, and questions followed.

"Oh, the little brother is young, and maybe he doesn't know a lot about some things. Xu servants are the people who are recruited to help in the government office, such as the men who serve tea and water to the officials, the scribes who write on the ghost, the officials who stand in the hall, etc., most of them are scoundrels on the ground and do not receive money. Not only did he have no money, but he even had to pay the 'top silver' in order to get the status of servant. ”

How can anyone in the world pay for volunteering? Taking advantage of Xun Liang's pause, Zhu Qiming interjected: "Why is this? ”

"With the identity of doing things in the government, there is a way to make money, and many people 'enter with Tsing Yi in the morning and return with 100 gold at dusk', where is the way to wealth? It's nothing more than extortion. The imperial court wants peace in the world, but they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, nothing will happen, and small things will be stirred up into big things, and they will make money from them. Oh, then Hu Hai and Geng Da are scoundrels in the neighboring villages, working as government officials in the state government. ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt suddenly. The Forbidden City is bent on seeking peace in the world, and the minions at the bottom are causing chaos everywhere, so that the vision of peace has become a castle in the air that cannot fall to the ground! No wonder the world is restless, no wonder people's hearts are so scattered!

However, did the princes of the DPRK and China know nothing about this?

Suddenly, a servant woman said outside the door: "Master, there is a girl crying outside, saying that she is looking for some Brother Xiaoming." ”

Zhu Qiming got up suddenly, ran out of the study, and almost bumped into a girl who was turning to dodge, he had no time to look closely, and ran all the way to the door, only to see Qing'er standing there with tears on her face.

"Brother Xiao Ming, my mother was arrested, and the silver was also searched by them!"
