Chapter 180: Cross-examination

At this moment, Agui, who had been stunned for a long time, reacted. He rushed to Doll with a whoosh and snatched Dora's piccolo down.

"Duo'er, don't treat Engong like this!" Agui pointed at Duo'er and reprimanded her severely, trembling with anger.

"Brother, he's a Han!" Duo'er pointed at Lu Heng and jumped to her feet.

"He is the benefactor of our stockade!" Agui's face sank, staring at his sister and saying word by word.

"Brother, but ......" Ah Duo was about to argue, turned his head, and stared at Lu Heng viciously. Seeing the scholar, he was looking scared, patting his little liver, and seeing himself looking at him, the scholar hurriedly sat upright, coughed, beckoned to himself, and smiled hypocritically.

Ah Duo glanced at him hatefully, turned his head, and looked at his eldest brother, his eyes full of confusion and annoyance.

"Sister, do you know where these things came from?" Ah Gui pulled his sister to the hill-like cloth and rice, bent down and took out a shiny silver ornament from it, and shook it on Ah Duo's face: "Also, these things, do you know where they came from?" ”

Seeing Ah Duo's puzzled look, Ah Gui stuffed the things into the back basket, straightened his waist, pointed at Lu Heng, and said gratefully: "These are all given to us by the father-in-law!" ”

"He? This Han Chinese? Ah Duo turned his head, looked at the scholar who was beckoning to him and smiling at himself, and after glancing at him with disdain, he turned his head, looked at his brother, and asked puzzledly: "How is it possible, he is a poor scholar!" ”

On the side, when I heard Ah Duo say the word scholar, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, from ethnic antagonism to the gap between the rich and the poor, the results are very gratifying!

Although the little girl's eyes are still contemptuous, they are no longer hostile.

However, I don't seem to be very poor!

Lu Heng glanced down at the outfit on his body, well, although the clothes were a little old, the shoes were a little miserable. However, there is a lot of money in his pocket. The two hundred taels of silver that the furrier had given him, plus the indefinite loan he had received from the official without interest, had at least five hundred silver bills on him.

He is also a rich man, but how did he become a poor scholar.

He himself muttered in his heart here, and in front of him, Agui had already pulled his sister and talked about what had happened these days. Hearing his brother say that it was this scholar who single-handedly brought so many good things to Miao Village, a look of surprise obviously flashed in Ah Duo's eyes.

She turned her head, and then looked at Lu Heng with that suspicious gaze, in Lu Heng's kind smile, the little girl shook her head in a daze, and pouted: "It's like a string, it's like a big official!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng's kind smile suddenly froze. Looking at the little girl, she was very innocent and stupid and gave herself a stupid look. The corners of Lu Heng's mouth twitched for a while, and he just suppressed the slander in his stomach.

However, looking at the little girl's quirky and smart appearance with her eyes rolling around, Lu Heng smiled in his heart, and felt more and more cute that this little Miao girl was cute.

This little girl, although she is full of distrust of herself, is obviously much smarter than Agui.

After Ah Gui said the whole thing again, the doubts on Ah Duo's face finally eased a lot. While listening to Agui's words, she turned her head and looked at the scholar.

In the end, she reluctantly believed what her brother said. However, she doesn't think that there is no reason why this scholar helps her brother so much.

After listening to Ah Gui's words, Duo'er stepped forward, circled around Lu Heng, and then stood in front of Lu Heng, raised her little head, looked at Lu Heng, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Your name is Lu Heng?" ”

Lu Heng smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then you are a senior official of the imperial court?" When Ah Duo asked this, although he pretended to be very calm, he didn't care. However, Lu Heng still saw a flash of nervousness in her bright eyes.

Lu Heng smiled, shook his head and said, "No! ”

Seeing the little girl's sigh, her expression was obviously relaxed, Lu Heng coughed, and after thinking about it, he said, "However, I know a few people who are big officials!" There is one, and that is your Lord Zhizhou! ”

After saying this, Lu Heng looked at Duo'er with a smile to see how she reacted.

However, what surprised Lu Hengda was that after Duo'er heard this, she didn't react at all. After thinking about it, she raised her head and met Lu Heng's surprised gaze.

The little face flushed slightly, glared at Lu Heng, then turned around and walked to his brother's side, and asked in a low voice.

Lu Heng stood there and heard Duo'er's words very clearly. She seemed to be asking, what kind of official is Zhizhou, is there a county master, and who is Zhizhou, what is his name, and so on.

Although Agui has traveled long distances, he has never seen these big officials, let alone who is small and who is big. Faced with his sister's inquiry, he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't say a complete sentence.

Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were confused, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel like a punch on the cotton, smiled weakly in his heart, and secretly despised Zhang Wenshan.

Oh, old man Zhang, it seems that you don't do much in Zhizhou. A Zhizhou from the third grade can be regarded as a feudal official, and he doesn't even have a little fame! Fail!

In the end, Xiao Aduo finally understood some truth. She walked over, glanced at Lu Heng, pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a cook for a big official, what kind of big official!" ”

Cook for the big officials? How does this mean?

Lu Heng was a little stunned, looking at the contempt and disdain on this little sister's face, full of confusion.

"Didn't you say that? Zhizhou, the one who set up the pot to cook porridge, isn't this a guy! The little girl thought that she understood it very well, and explained the way of officialdom to Lu Heng very seriously, and her serious look almost made Lu Heng think that Zhang Wenshan had really started the work of a chef here.

Seeing that this little girl was very confident, Lu Heng had nothing but a wry smile and helplessness.

Oh, it turns out that Zhizhou can explain it like this!

"Okay, look at you've been deceived too, so miserable. Tonight, let's go to our village to rest for the night, and go back early tomorrow morning! This Yizhou is not the world of your Han people, it is very dangerous! Ah Duo kindly persuaded Lu Heng, turned around, and walked towards the village in front of him.

Lu Heng looked at the girl's figure like a butterfly wearing flowers, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was really funny. remembered that he still looked proud of his might just now, but he never thought that it would be this result in the end. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

"Let's go!" Seeing Agui looking at him apologetically, Lu Heng shrugged his shoulders, put his hands behind his back, and walked down the mountain.

When I entered the village, I saw a group of Miao relatives holding torches in front of me, standing at the gate. Ah Duo was holding the arm of an old man with a white beard, pointing at himself and muttering something to the old man.

The old man frowned and listened to Ah Duo's words. Occasionally he looked up at the scholar, then shook his head.

It wasn't until Ah Duo pulled Ah Gui over and laid out all the things in the basket that the white-bearded old man nodded reluctantly.

The old man coughed, stepped forward, stroked his chest with one hand, and saluted Lu Heng slightly: "Guests from afar, welcome to Miao Village!" ”

Lu Heng smiled and said politely: "The old man is polite!" Excuse me for the interruption in the middle of the night! ”

After the old man glanced at Lu Heng deeply, he nodded, waved his hand behind him, and motioned to the villagers to make a way.

Then the old man stood aside, pointed to the road behind him, and said to Lu Heng: "Guest, please!" ”

"Old man, please!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to the old man, and responded lightly.

After entering Miao Village, the old man directly invited Lu Heng to a stilted building located in the center and could still be counted. After he waved away the others, he looked at Lu Heng lightly, and was about to speak, but found that Agui was still holding his head down, standing behind Lu Heng, refusing to leave.

"Agui, you go out too!" The old man glared at Ah Gui angrily, as if he was a little blaming him, he didn't know the severity too much, and he actually introduced a stranger into Miao Village.

"But, big boss!" Ah Gui raised his head, looked at the old man, and stopped talking.

"Get out!" The big leader snorted, waved his hand directly, and blasted Agui out.

After seeing Agui reluctantly walk out, the big leader got up, closed the door, and sat in front of Lu Heng, smoking a hookah and occasionally raising his head to look at the Han man in front of him. Seeing that he was still unfazed, he sat there and tasted the food with relish. The big boss was a little surprised.

You know, these foods, to outsiders, look like some highly poisonous things.

What centipedes, scorpions, poisonous insects. The whole nine yards.

But this weak scholar, after seeing these things, was only stunned for a moment, and then sat down casually and began to taste them.

He didn't know that Lu Heng had been to Miaojiang in his previous life. Moreover, I also know that the specialty of the Miao family is the food that these outsiders look extremely hideous and terrifying.

However, although it is ugly, it tastes good!

So, Lu Heng sat down with a big sword, stuffed his head, and began to eat. And I ate it with relish.

The big boss, sitting on the opposite side and smoking a hookah, originally wanted to wait for the scholar to be the first to speak. However, they all smoked a bag of cigarettes, and the scholar didn't even respond to the inquiry. It's still eating very casually.

Ahem, if you don't open your mouth first, you'll be eating all of these things!

The big leader's eyelids trembled, and he finally put down the hookah in his hand, looked at Lu Heng, coughed lightly, and said, "What are the plans for the guest to come to my Miao house?" ”

Seeing that the old man finally couldn't bear it anymore, Lu Heng stopped what he was doing, clapped his hands, glanced at the old man, and smiled: "Find someone!" ”
