Chapter 18: Saving the Doorman

Although the family is much stronger than the gangsters, after all, they are usually capable of fighting people with dogs, and they win with more, and they deserve to be unlucky when they meet Zhong Wuregret.

Zhong Wuregret picked on their joints, shuttled back and forth a few times, and the ten family members all lay on the ground with their waists and legs hugged, because of the consideration of the other party's powerful position, they had to take care of the other party's face, Zhong Wuregret did not dare to be ruthless.

Chu Guo is so brave, seeing Zhong Wuregret's bravery, the onlookers applauded together, and the face of the person who looked like a housekeeper was red and white for a while, and he angrily kicked the family member lying on the ground: "Useless guy, the face of the adults has been lost by you." ”

"They've lost face, so come on!" Zhong Wuregret hooked his finger at him.

When the guy saw it, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again: "Don't come here, you have the ability to wait." With that, he turned around and ran.

Zhong Wuregret dared to attack the people of Doufu, not because he was brave and unscrupulous.

He saw it very thoroughly, why in the history of our country, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an unprecedented situation in which hundreds of schools of thought criticized each other and contended with each other, and it became the most brilliant and brilliant era with stars shining on the ideological and cultural front in Chinese history?

Because the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a period of great turmoil, great differentiation, and great reorganization, and experienced drastic social changes.

The princes are in dispute, the war is continuous, the private soldiers are numerous, all the big clans, none of them do not have a Jiage, all the vassal states have devoted their main energy to the political, economic, and military reforms, so the thirst for talent can be said to have reached the stage of hunger and food.

If there is no accident, maybe you will defeat the other party, but you can be favored by the other party, and you will be recruited, as long as your talent is outstanding, you will have a bright future. That is, in general, it is only when there is no hope of recruiting and you don't want talents to fall into the hands of the enemy that you will kill the killer.

As the "Premier of the State Council" of Chu State, Cheng Jia will not fail to understand this truth, and ignore the major affairs of the country and stand up for the face of the children of the clan, right? Zhong has no regrets.

However, Zhong Wuregret's idea is too naΓ―ve! As the saying goes: Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult. He didn't know that Doosan, the owner of this Doufu, was a little ghost who would be rewarded for his flaws, otherwise, he would not have killed a few puppies. Those who are arrogant are brutal and narrow-minded.

Seeing that the housekeeper ran away, Zhong Wuregret turned his attention to the man and the puppies he had sacrificed himself to guard. It's good not to look at this, but this look makes him ecstatic, the appearance of the little dog's tiger head, just after the full moon, but there is a fierce, not angry but domineering.

If you look closely, the whole head and face, mouth shape, and mouth are very short and thick, mastiff! It's clearly a mastiff!

However, in the pre-Qin period, the mastiff was a very precious famous dog, how did it get here?

Originally, the mastiff is one of the tributes of the royal family, there have been documents to record that the minority Xirong at that time paid tribute to the royal family of famous dogs, said that the king of Zhou Wu Keshang, "nine Yi and eight barbarians" all sent tribute, and people from the west contributed "mastiff". In the Book of Yi Zhou, it is also mentioned that the dogs of a minority tribe "can fly and eat tigers and leopards", and "Erya" gives the standard definition of mastiff: dog, "four feet is a mastiff".

The middle-aged man who was beaten called himself Jiang, originally in the territory of Shanxi Province surnamed Jiang, raised mastiffs for generations, after Jiang was exiled to the land of Chu in the south because of the war, because he was grateful to the master of Doufu Doushan for the grace of taking in, so he started to repay the favor, and went to his hometown to find a litter of mastiffs to give to the owner of Doushan Doushan, because he once said that he would offer treasure to Doushan, Doushan was very happy, and gave him ten taels of silver, but he did not expect to bring a litter of puppies.

Doosan didn't know the goods, thinking that Jiang deceived him into two silver taels and took a litter of puppies to make up the number, and he was angry and wanted to kill Jiang, so the scene just now happened.

Zhong Wuregret asked Jiang if he would like to go to his "Luming Garden", and he would set aside a house for Jiang to raise dogs, and in addition to feeding food, he would give him 20 copper coins a month as a salary.

Zhong Wuregret rescued Jiang from the knife with righteousness, and if he didn't go to Zhong Wuregret, he couldn't escape Doosan at all. Although he offended Doosan, "Luming Garden" may also be in danger, but at least it can solve the immediate crisis, Jiang believes that if Engong is in trouble, it is also because of him, and he must have difficulties to share the difficulties, so as to live up to Zhong Wuregret's grace to save his life.

Jiang Shi heard Zhong Wuregret say this. How can it not be allowed? At that moment, he respected Zhong without regrets as the Lord, and was willing to be a servant in the "Luming Garden".

Zhong has no regrets! I didn't expect Doosan, a big idiot, to let himself pick up a big treasure. You know, mastiffs protect their territory and are good at attacking. It is fiercely hostile and lethal to all strangers and intruders, but absolutely loyal and obedient to the owners who feed them. A mastiff can guard not only the home, but also the entire village or estate. Even if it can't kill enemies, it can at least act as a bio alarm.

In fact, the mastiff was already a famous killing tool at that time, but few people knew it, according to historical records, Jin Linggong was a famous prostitute in the Jin Kingdom, and he had instigated the mastiff to kill Zhao Dun of Xiangguo, because the guards sacrificed their lives to save each other, Zhao Dun was able to escape. However, the ugliness in the court are the highest state secrets, and these scandals will only be exposed if those in power are defeated.

Zhong Wuregret and Jiang talked about it, and before they knew it, they were about to leave the city, but just as they approached the city gate, the city gate suddenly closed, and immediately, the people were driven away, leaving only Zhong Wuregret A carriage parked alone in front of the city gate.

At this time, the guy who looked like a housekeeper in Doufu walked out from the city gate, and it seemed that his status in Doufu was not only a housekeeper. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, right?" ”

Behind the guy stood a row of armor soldiers with swords in hand, and behind the armor soldiers were two rows of archers, one by one with arrows and bows, aiming at Zhong Wuregret them. For Zhong Wuregret, they are the biggest threat.

"What do you want?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

"It's not what I want, it's what I want! The men and the dogs were left behind, and you cut them with your own hands, and then you left five hundred taels of silver, which may spare you a way out. The guy who looked like a housekeeper said.

"Who are you from Doufu? How do I know if your words count. Zhong Wuregret's eyes scanned around, he wanted to use the excuse to delay time and find the weak link of the other party.

But when the middle-aged man heard Zhong Wuregret say this, his heart sank to the bottom, and he desperately thought that Zhong Wuregret was negotiating terms with the other party and was ready to hand over him and the dog.

"I'm just helping the master come up with ideas and do some chores in Doufu, in Doufu, I am in charge of everything except the master, in front of them," the guy pointed to the armor soldiers and archers and said, "No one dares to disobey what I say." ”

"Oh, Master of Doufu!" Zhong Wuregret thought secretly, and then asked, "Second master, what's your surname?" ”

It's the first time that guy has heard this kind of name from the second master, but when he thinks about it, this kind of name is also very good!

"Second master!" The more the guy thought about it, the happier he became, he thought that Zhong Wuregret was afraid and complimented him, but this name can be called in the Doufu, that's not bad, invisibly, his hostility towards Zhong Wuregret has dropped a lot.

"My name is Dou Ji, how is it? Have you figured it out? "Dou Ji is a little impatient.

"Ah, haha" Zhong Wuregret dealt with Dou Ji on the surface, and secretly whispered to Jiang Shi: "When I attack them later, you take the dog to escape from the alley, the dog can take it, and if you are unable to move, leave the dog first, people flee first, with people, there will be dogs in the future, and if there is no one, there will be no dogs, understand?" ”

Only then did Jiang know that Zhong Wuregret had been planning for him, and at this moment he really wanted to die for his master. When he met such an owner, he would rather die than abandon the puppy, because that was a sign of his true devotion to him.

Zhong Wuregret's words rang in his ears again: "You have to understand, I am the master, you must listen to my words, do you understand?" Otherwise, it will cause me trouble. He was afraid that Jiang would make his own decisions and sacrifice himself to savior, so his words became stern.

"The little one understands." Although Jiang said this, his heart was ready to die.

Zhong Wuregret laughed twice and looked around.

The drummer behind Dou Ji beat the first drum, and the armor soldiers and archers prepared to attack.

"Don't think about anything else." After Dou Jiyin finished speaking with a smile, the second drum sounded again, and several rows of archers poured out to the left and right of Zhong Wuregret. If the three-way drum sounded, it would be too late, Zhong Wuregret was ready to draw his sword to strike, and if he couldn't escape, he would depend on his fate, when his hand just touched the sword handle, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw Qu Rong rushing over with her "female knight".

Qu Rong shouted on the horse: "Whoever dares to do something to my brother Zhong, I will destroy his whole family, the woman will kill X first and then X, and the man will kill first and then X." She overheard Zhong Wuregret's words out of nowhere, and blurted out in a hurry.

"Tough!" Zhong Wuregret didn't expect that a casual remark in the cave would become Qu Rong's most lethal threat.

Qu Rong and the others came to Zhong Wuregret and protected the carriage.

When Dou Ji looked at it, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "The county prince's baby is here!" ”

"What do you want to do with my big brother Zhong?" Qu Rong said angrily.

Dou Ji laughed twice and said: "Your eldest brother Zhong injured my Doufu family, I don't want to do anything to him, I just want him to hand over the Doufu family slave that he is guarding to me, what, can't you?" ”

Qu Rong was stumped by him for a moment.

In the state of Chu, as early as the time of King Wen of Chu, the "law of the servant area" had been formulated. Zone, hidden also. This is a law of the Chu State that prohibits the concealment of fugitive slaves and strictly prohibits the escape of slaves.

Dou Ji said that Jiang was his family's house slave, and it was reasonable to arrest him and kill him, on the contrary, Zhong Wuregret did not hand over Jiang's family, he was a hidden and fugitive Doufu house slave, and if it was light, he would also have to be punished or tortured or tortured.

Punishment is to cut off a foot, Punishment is to cut off the nose, and ink punishment is to carve on the face and fill in ink.

In serious cases, they can be punished with palace punishment or car splitting, or even a violent corpse for public display.

Doufu is powerful and powerful, although the Jiang family is only a doorman, they want to say that the Jiang family is a house slave is a house slave.

Qu Rong knew the seriousness of this problem, and she called out timidly and softly: "Brother Zhong! Then he briefly told Zhong Wuregret about the "Law of the Servant District" and the consequences.

Zhong Wuregret fell into deep thought.

When Jiang heard Dou Ji say this, he knew that Dou Fu had to kill himself today, and he didn't want to implicate Zhong Wuregret, he was about to jump out of the carriage with his puppy in his arms, but Zhong Wuregret grabbed him: "Go back and sit down, I will tell you to run when it's time to run!" ”

"Sister Rong," Zhong Wuregret said to Qu Rong, "You call me Brother Zhong, can I call you Sister Rong?" ”

"Yes, you can." Qu Rong's eyes were full of tears of excitement.

"Sister Rong, you know that I don't have the habit of abandoning my own people and running away alone, in case something happens to me, you must take care of your sister E, okay? If she meets another person she likes, ask her to remarry, don't live up to the good years, I really appreciate your concern, I will feel no regrets for having a sister Rong.

But the country has its own laws, you and your sisters, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, you still have families, go, thank you! ”

"Brother Zhong!" Qu Rong took off the leather armor on her body and silently put it on for Zhong Wuregret, but the leather armor was too small, and Qu Rong, who was in a hurry, burst into tears.

Dou Ji urged again.

Zhong Wuregret put on the leather armor, although it was too ill-fitting, he gently wiped the tears from Qu Rong's face and said, "Don't be sad, your eldest brother has a big life, it's not so easy to die, go ahead!" ”

Qu Rong looked at Zhong Wuregret and said firmly: "If something happens to Brother Zhong, I will definitely avenge you in this life!" With that, he said to the sisters, "Go!" ”

Then, they left without looking back.
