When the two of them were about to run to the door of the yamen, they suddenly saw a thick smoke drifting into the sky from the back ya.
Liu Chengzong and Liu Zheng glanced at each other, and the two of them invariably accelerated their pace and ran towards the yamen. Help! ”
Liu Zheng didn't wait for Liu Chengzong to say anything, so he ran to the back office, and when he entered the back office, he saw that the place where the fire broke out was a granary.
Tongzhi Yu Zheng and Tong Qian You were anxiously directing everyone to put out the fire.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Find a vat and go to the well to carry water!"
"Where's the waterwheel, where is the waterwheel!"
Liu Zheng found a wooden barrel and joined the firefighting army, but the fire in the granary was too big to be extinguished by the water brought by the dozen or so officials alone.
After being busy for a while, Liu Zheng ran to Tongzhi Yu Zheng, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the fire is too big, it is impossible for us to carry water to extinguish the fire, my lord, let's hurry up and find some more people!" ”
Yu Zheng may have been a little dizzy, but at this time, he woke up a little by Liu Zheng's words, and turned to Qian You, the general judge beside him, and said: "Lord Qian, I am tired that Lord Qian quickly sent people to organize some people to fight the fire!" ”
"Okay, I'll do it! I'll leave it to Lord Yu here! After Qian You finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Liu Zheng, who was standing on the side, looked at the two of them, and a strange thought appeared in his heart, although these two people were eager, they found that there was no anxiety in their eyes at all.
Liu Zheng, who was sent by the ghost, asked: "Lord Yu, this fire is so big, why don't you see Lord Prefect?" ”
Yu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Liu Zheng carefully and said, "Lord Wang went out to investigate the disaster this morning!" ”
When Liu Zheng heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and continued to put out the fire, and it didn't take long for the people who came from the conscription to arrive, and it took more than an hour for everyone to work together to extinguish the fire.
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Liu Zheng jumped to his father's side, lowered his head and approached his father and whispered: "Dad, this fire is strange!" ”
Liu Chengzong glared at his 'mouthy' son fiercely, lowered his voice and said, "Your father and I are not stupid, use you to talk too much here!" ”
Liu Zheng pursed his lips disdainfully, and muttered in his heart, yes, your old family is not stupid, your old man is pretending to be confused, but is it still time to pretend to be confused?
After thinking silently for a while, Liu Zheng stood up and patted the soil on his ass and planned to leave, Liu Chengzong saw that his son was leaving, so he hurriedly reached out and dragged him to the ground, lowered his head and said angrily: "What are you going to do?" ”
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, I haven't eaten yet, I plan to go home and continue eating!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Chengzong's anger almost lifted the Tianling cover, and he scolded angrily regardless of where he was: "You little rabbit cub, what do you know besides eating, eat and eat, sooner or later one day will eat you to death!" ”
Liu Chengzong's snort suddenly attracted the attention of these people in the backyard, and he felt that the eyes of the people in the yard were focused on him, Liu Chengzong also realized that he had done something wrong, and hurriedly laughed dryly and said: "Don't mind, everyone, this kid in my family ......"
Before he finished speaking, he listened to Qian You, who was standing not far away, and said with a smile: "I said, Brother Chengzong, don't blame your kid, it's the time to grow your body, it's normal to shout hungry when you're full, not to mention that he's busy early in the morning, since he's hungry, let him go home and eat again!" ”
As soon as Liu Zheng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and smiled at Qian Youyi, the general judge, and said: "It's still Lord Qian, you are reasonable, my father is a mess, boy, I have thanked my father here, and the boy will go home with my father for dinner!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zheng didn't wait for others to say anything, ignored his father's angry gaze, dragged his father and walked out.
After three or two steps, these two people went out of the yamen, Liu Chengzong shook his hand, broke free of the hand that was tugging at his sleeve, and glared at Liu Zheng viciously: "You bastard, what kind of idea do you have!" ”
Liu Zheng looked left and right, and whispered to his father: "Dad, this is not a place to talk, you come with me!" ”
"Humph!" Liu Chengzong snorted and silently followed his son's footsteps.
……
Yuncui Building, is the old teahouse in Qingzhou City, it is almost a hundred years old, these years because of the continuous famine in Qingzhou, and there is always chaos, so last year, here changed the owner.
In the best box on the second floor, there is a large window, through this window, you can see the panoramic view of the Qingzhou prefect's yamen at a glance, at this moment, Liu Zheng and his son Liu Chengzong stood in front of this window, looking at the prefect's yamen that was still smoking.
After the shopkeeper gave me tea and snacks, he retreated silently, Liu Chengzong squinted at his silent son, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "You dragged me here, there must be something!" Now that there is no one around, you still don't say it? ”
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Dad, don't look at the biggest official talent in this small Qingzhou prefect's yamen, but the water in here is deep!" ”
"Humph!" Liu Chengzong snorted heavily and said, "Little rabbit cub, do you still need you to tell me if the water is deep here?" ”
"Dad, don't always say a bastard on the left, and a little rabbit cub, if I am a little rabbit cub, then you will not become an old rabbit cub?"
"Don't talk to me as poor, if you have anything to say, I don't have as much spare time as you!" Liu Chengzong snorted angrily and glared at his 'troubled' son.
Liu Zheng turned his head to look at his father, then looked at the prefect's yamen, and only after seeing a group of people enter the yamen did he speak: "Dad, the child will not harm you!" This thing won't end well, let's get out early! ”
Liu Chengzong naturally also saw the people who entered the mansion, and the leader he saw it really, it was Mr. Xixi of the prefect Wang Jiabin who could fly feathers, and he was not really as stupid as his son said, on the contrary, he was very shrewd, with a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes, he could see through everything at a glance.
There was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and the granary caught fire this morning, how could he not see through it when it was so strange, but he didn't want to say it.
It's naturally good to stay out of the matter, and he wants to stay out of it, but he has a last resort, which makes him unable to open his mouth, to be honest, he doesn't want to open his mouth, he doesn't want to drag his only remaining son into the fire pit again.
The bitterness gradually turned up in his mouth, and his eyes darkened a lot, and after a while, Liu Chengzong spoke: "Didn't you say that you didn't eat enough?" Let's go, go home and eat again! ”
Liu Zheng looked at his father in surprise, why did his father suddenly change his temper? Liu Chengzong naturally felt his son's surprised gaze, stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Zheng on the back of the head, and said angrily: "I am so stupid when you are your father!" ”
……
When he stayed at home until almost noon, Liu Chengzong returned to the mansion with a chirping, at this time the mansion had been surrounded by the soldiers of the Inspection Division, and seeing the soldiers who were looking at him, Liu Chengzong secretly smiled bitterly, and then raised his legs and entered the mansion.
Liu Chengzong went to the government at the same time, Liu Zheng rode out of the city on a fast horse, galloped south, not long after, came to a Zhuangzi, dismounted in front of the village, the porter of the house walked over quickly, respectfully called the master, and took the reins in Liu Zheng's hand.
Passing through the front yard along a corridor, before reaching the moon gate in the backyard, Liu Zheng heard a few cheers, and when he heard this voice, the corners of Liu Zheng's mouth smiled.
Turning the moon gate, Liu Zheng saw the situation in the backyard clearly, more than a dozen men surrounded the city, and he could vaguely see two men in the circle holding steel knives and gesturing.
Liu Zheng didn't make a sound, and silently walked outside the circle, looking lively.
I saw two bearded men, each holding a steel knife, slowly turning in circles, one of the two big men had a slightly red face, and a face was as black as Li Kui, the two turned around twice The red-faced man's eyes suddenly flashed a beam of light, and the steel knife in his hand was handed forward violently, and the black-faced man on the opposite side was slightly stunned, the stunned kung fu and the steel knife had pierced in front of him, the black-faced man shouted well, and the side of his body avoided the tip of the fatal knife, and the steel knife in his hand slammed the opponent's steel knife at the same time, and he jumped forward. A powerful slash came in front of the red-faced man.
Seeing that the knife was about to hit his head, the red-faced man actually smiled unhurriedly, his front feet glared, and his body had swept back like a goshawk for more than a foot, and the black-faced man saw his prey sweeping backwards and escaped, he snorted heavily in his heart, and then jumped forward, and a more ferocious slash followed.
The smile on the face of the red-faced man was already very strong, and when the fierce slash came to his eyes, the steel knife in his hand was obliquely slanted from bottom to top, only to hear a loud bang, the two knives touched together, and the onlookers saw the sparks from the two steel knives, and couldn't help but shout in unison, and before the applause ended, he saw the red-faced man, with the strength of the royal power a rotation, backhand came a top-down oblique cut, only this time, the black-faced man was forced to retreat.
The transition between attack and defense has been completed in the blink of an eye, the black-faced man's moves are old, but the red-faced man's change of moves is followed closely, the steel knife was danced by the red-faced man's tiger and tiger, stabbing, slashing, teasing, splitting, not only the knife change dazzles everyone's eyes, the ferocity of this move kills, but also makes people's hearts tremble, fear is born.
After only a few rounds, the black-faced man's face was densely covered with beads of sweat, others were afraid, but he was really full of heart, the eight-sided knife technique he made was self-created, and he had never been invincible since he broke through the rivers and lakes, but now he was beaten by the red-faced man and couldn't find the north, how could he not make him anxious and afraid, how could he not make him chaotic?
"Beware!"
The black-faced man suddenly heard someone shouting, and there was a stirring spirit in his heart, and the secret path was going to be bad, and sure enough, he saw the red-faced man knock open the steel knife in his hand lightly and skillfully, and the door in his chest was already wide open.
"Suffered!" As soon as the black-faced man's voice fell, then there was a pain in his chest, and in the blink of an eye, he had been kicked to the ground by the red-faced man.
Wow, the black-faced man wanted to get up and fight again, but found that a steel knife had stopped on his chest at some point.
"Good!"
