Chapter 2: Hard and soft

Lu Jinping said: "To repay the money, you must have money first, and now the money I earn every day is enough for our master and servant to eat, you can't kill chickens and take eggs and take away our rations, right?" ”

"Who is sucking your copper coins?" The fat man Yao next to him stared at the beads of copper bells and said, "You owe us almost 60,000 Wen!" - Don't say anything, sell the old house to pay off the debt! Otherwise, it's not over today! ”

"Not for sale!" Lu Jinping said expressionlessly, "That old mansion is the only ancestral property handed down by my great-grandfather, it was given to my great-grandfather by Emperor Taizong, and it is a symbol of my title, and it can't be sold!" This is what the old man of the same state thorn said. You heard that, too. ”

Yao Fatzi had a short temper, listening to Lu Jinping still insisted on not selling the old house, he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and swept all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground, and then reached out to pull Lu Jinping's collar, Ye Qingqing next to Leng Buding stretched out a small hand, grabbed his arm with a bang, and then showed his legs and flew up, hitting his weakness, so painful that he squatted on the ground with a sigh.

"You, how dare you do it?" The leper was so angry that his white beard trembled, "Kill this for me!" ”

Several thugs immediately threw their fists and pounced on Ye Qingqing. Ye Qingqing's petite body was like a butterfly flying, dodging freely in the fists and feet of several people, making moves from time to time, the middle one must have screamed and fell to the ground, and in a moment, several gangsters were knocked to the ground by her, and the pain ** couldn't get up.

Leper Zhang was stunned, quickly took a few steps back, pointed at Lu Jinping and said angrily: "You, you cheap maid beating people, do you care?" ”

The reason why Lu Jinping is fearless and not afraid of them is because the personal maid Ye Qingqing has martial arts, and she is quite good.

When Lu Jinping's parents were still alive, although the family was in the middle of the road, they still had some land, and even hired a dart head to protect the family. Ye Qingqing began to be Lu Jinping's scholar at the age of six or seven, although she was born petite, she likes to dance with guns and sticks. After Lu Jinping's parents found out, they discussed and felt that their son was devoted to studying and had no time to learn martial arts, but if the maid scholar beside him had martial arts, he could better protect his son's safety, so they officially asked the dragon dart head to teach Ye Qingqing martial arts.

They didn't know that this dragon dart head was not an ordinary dart master, and he was also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes back then, but he left the country sadly because of a family accident, and by chance went to the Lu family to become a nurse. Entrusted by the Lu family, and seeing that the young Ye Qingqing was smart and clever, he also liked it, so he treated her like a daughter and carefully taught her martial arts until Lu Jinping's parents died of illness one after another. The Lu family spent all their savings for treatment, and they had no money to hire a nurse again, so Long Darttou left and returned to his hometown. At that time, Ye Qingqing had already achieved the true inheritance of the dragon dart head.

Lu Jinping glanced at the fat man Yao and the gangsters lying on the ground, and sneered: "You guys did it first, my maid is a loyal protector, why should I care?" ”

"You! Okay, you rabbit cub, you don't pay back the money you owe, and you still set slaves and beat people! Let's find a place to judge! The leper frothed at the mouth and cried out, saying that he was going to judge, but he stood still.

Lu Jinping had already seen the two guards at the entrance of the Tongzhou Ya next to him standing at the door to watch the excitement, but he didn't come to dissuade him. pointed to the yamen, and said to the leper: "Oh, there is the yamen, and the master of the assassin is inside, why don't you go and reason with him?" ”

The leper Zhang went to the yamen last time to sue Lu Jinping, the lord, but they were reprimanded by the assassin Shi and kicked out of the lobby by the yamen, where would they dare to go to the yamen again for this matter. Hearing that Lu Jinping was fearless, his eyes rolled a few times, and he replaced Tie Qing's face with a pitiful look, took two steps forward, and pretended to kneel.

Yao Fatzi had already climbed up, and when he saw this, he hurriedly helped him, and said in a panic: "Big brother, what are you doing?" How do you kneel down for this kid? ”

"There's no way, you can't beat it, no one pays attention to the complaint, what can you do if you don't kneel? The family is almost unable to open the pot, so I expect him to sell the old house to pay off my debts, so that I can buy rice and salt to support the family, but he refuses, so I kneel in front of him, that is, anyway, the family is a dead ......" while saying, he squeezed his eyes hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears, but there was no half drop, so he could only cover his face with his sleeves, and howled.

"You can't open the pot at home?" Lu Jinping sneered, "When you say this, first wipe off the grease stains on the corners of your mouth." I can't act. The land that my family sold at the beginning was bought by you, and the price is very low, don't think I don't know. You instigated me to sell my property to pay bribes, and you borrowed usury from you, and used the old house as collateral, you are instigating people to commit crimes! - You have to talk about this account, I can tell you well, if you want to come nonsense, then I will also come nonsense! ”

When the leper Zhang and Yao Fatzi heard this, the sad and pitiful look on their faces slowly disappeared, they stood up straight, stared at Lu Jinping viciously, gritted their teeth and said: "What we have is a way to make you bow your head, you have sold the old mansion, if you don't believe it, we'll see!" - Let's go! ”

After saying a few cruel words, the leper turned around and walked forward, and Yao Fatzi and the gangsters hurriedly got up and limped behind.

After walking out of the road, suddenly, Yao Fatzi saw a notice on the wall, and there was a big-shouldered and round-waisted family standing next to him, and he couldn't help but be happy.

This notice was posted by a retired Beijing official to seek a famous doctor for his critically ill precious daughter. The Beijing official surnamed Gao, who retired to the old age, once served as a servant of the Ministry of the Fourth Grade, and after retiring, he didn't like to live in the capital, he thought it was too noisy, but he liked the Tongzhou Mansion not far from Huashan, so he bought a house here and settled down. He had no children under his knees, but only a daughter, and he had a wife and two concubines, and this daughter was born of the youngest concubine, and she loved her like a treasure. A few months ago, I had a strange illness, and I invited many Lang Zhong to see a doctor, and even the imperial doctor in the palace paid a lot of money to come and see him, but he was not cured.

Seeing that his baby daughter was dying, in desperation, Mrs. Gao posted a notice to find a famous doctor who could cure his daughter's strange illness, including a Taoist who did things. As long as you can cure your daughter's illness, there will be a heavy reward, if you are young and unmarried, as long as you want, you can recruit as a son-in-law and inherit the Gao family's business in the future.

This condition is too generous, because the old lady Gao was once an official to the servant of the ministry, and he can be his son-in-law, for the ordinary people, it is tantamount to one step to the sky. Therefore, there are many Langzhong and Taoist priests who went to heal the list, and many of them are young, who are going to this recruitment.

It's a pity that none of these people can cure Miss Gao's illness. This old lady Gao has a violent personality and is full of official authority, although he has retired, his temper has not changed, and he scolded those Lang Zhong and Taoist people who could not cure the disease, and beat them out with sticks. There were even a few Lang Zhong who had poor medical skills and obvious deception, and Taoist priests who had little Taoism were directly sent by him to the yamen for punishment. In this way, no one dares to unveil the list anymore.

When the fat man Yao saw this notice, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and thought of an idea to rectify Lu Jinping, and immediately leaned into the leper and muttered a few words in his ear.

Hearing this, Leper Zhang nodded again and again, and said, "Okay! This method is good, that little rabbit cub is too disagreeable, treat him well, this time he provokes Old Lady Gao, even Lord Thorn Shi can't protect him! Hahaha, you guys hurry up and do it! ”

Yao Fatzi agreed, and hurriedly went back to call a maid, this maid is about the same height and age as Lu Jinping's maid Ye Qingqing, after deliberately dressing up, the dress and dress are the same. Yao Fatzi explained what she had to do. So he waited in the alley not far from Lu Jinping's stall.

finally saw that Ye Qingqing was going conveniently, so Yao Fatzi hurriedly asked the little maid to follow him out and walked towards the notice posted by the old lady Gao.

Yao Fatzi walked in front first, and the little girl followed behind. Yao Fatzi walked up to the family and said with a smile: "This brother, I have something I want to inquire about with you, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

The family turned to look at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, I have a little medical skills since elementary school, and I know some home remedies......"

Yao Fatzi said slowly and flatteringly. Just as the family turned to talk to Yao Fatzi, the little maid walked up quickly, took down the notice from the wall, and ran away with it.

Jiading didn't realize that Yao Fatzi waited for him to run out for a while before pointing to the maid and saying, "Huh? How did she take the notice down? ”

Only then did the family find out, screamed, and chased after him. The maid had already run to Lu Jinping's word stall, stuffed the notice into Lu Jinping's arms, and then turned around and rushed into the alley that Ye Qingqing had entered earlier.
