Chapter 3 Hengjiang saves Shi Niang
When Du Siniang threw her jewelry into the river on the boat, the person on the boat next to her kept watching her. This person is Yue Su.
When he got up in the morning, he washed up briefly, and sat down on the bow of the boat to eat breakfast. Then I saw Du Siniang standing at the bow of the boat, scattering jewelry into the Yangtze River.
This scene is so familiar, as if it has been seen before. He hurriedly ordered the captain to approach the boat, because he had a hunch that this woman would definitely throw herself into the river.
Everything is the same as on TV, Du Siniang jumped into the Yangtze River, the distance between the two boats was only two meters, Yue Su did not hesitate, and a fierce man plunged into the river.
In this life, Yue Su has never been in the water, but fortunately, he often went to the swimming pool to practice in his previous life, and as an excellent policeman, mastering one more skill is of great benefit to himself.
After entering the water, she immediately saw that Du Siniang was slowly sinking, the river was very urgent, and Du Siniang was already disheartened, and she had no intention of surviving at all, just a few reflexive struggles. As for the treasure chest, it has long been out of hand.
Yue Su split the water and walked forward, came to Du Shi Niang's side for a moment, clamped her with his left arm, and immediately went up.
"Hoo ......"
With his head out of the water, he just saw the captain stretching out the oars, Yue Su grabbed the oars, swam to the side of the boat, and pulled Du Shi Niang onto the boat. After getting on the boat, Du Siniang was already unconscious, Yue Su knew that this was not the time to pay attention to the difference between men and women, so he hurriedly pressed her chest with both hands, squeezed the water out, and then gave her artificial respiration. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, and Yue Su's methods were not bad, and Du Shi Niang finally woke up.
"Ah...... I...... Is this dead......"
"Girl, you didn't die, you were saved by Brother Yue." Without waiting for Yue Su to answer, Li Qiongying said. When she saw Yue Su diving, she was so frightened that her face was pale, and when Yue Su rescued people on the boat, her nervous heart fell.
"I'm not dead...... Du Shi Niang, who escaped death, tears rolled out of her eyes. Li Jia's forgetfulness made her no longer believe in anyone in the world, she was sold into the Qinglou since she was a child, and she had already hated the world. When she met Li Jia, she thought that she had finally met someone she could entrust, but she didn't expect that Li Jia betrayed her in the end. There is no longer worthy of her nostalgia in the world, and she has a heart of death, but she did not die.
I don't know if it's providence or creation, but now Du Siniang is already like a water. She glanced at Yue Su and said with a wry smile: "Thank you......"
At the same time, a boat had already been pasted, and someone on the boat shouted: "Shi Niang...... You're all right...... It was my fault...... Forgive me......"
Du Shi Niang struggled to get up, but she really didn't have the strength in her body, so Yue Su hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her straighten up. Du Siniang glanced at Li Jia and said, "You and I have run out of fate, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future." ”
"Your fate with him is over, but you are not finished with me!" Sun Fu behind Li Jia stepped forward and shouted loudly: "I bought you for a thousand taels of silver, as long as you don't die, you are my Sun Fu's person!" ”
"Really?" Du Shi Niang laughed miserably: "I'm not anyone's, my life is only mine, you are not qualified yet." She turned to look at Yue Su, and said: "The virtue of saving the father-in-law, Du Shi Niang has nothing to repay, if there is an afterlife, it will definitely be a grass ring." After speaking, he rose up with all his strength and threw himself into the river again.
How could Yue Su let her do stupid things again, his right arm stepped forward and hugged her. "Why are you still doing stupid things!" Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "What was your name?" ”
"Cheap Concubine Du Shi Niang ......"
As soon as he heard this name, Yue Su's head "buzzed". Although he was not surprised by this name, because of this episode of the Angry Treasure Chest, he had seen it in the movie "Oiran Du Shi Niang". And when I saw the end, I couldn't help crying, feeling Du Shi Niang's affection and righteousness. This movie, he watched it with Li Lan, and I remember that it was starring Li Jiaxin. Although Li Jiaxin is beautiful, compared with Du Shi Niang, it is a world of difference.
Seeing the astonishment on Yue Su's face, Du Shi Niang thought that Yue Su had heard her name and knew her origin, and maybe he would be disdainful. She shook her head and smiled, and said, "Engong, Shi Niang is an unclean person, please let me go." Let the surging river wash away the filth of my body. ”
Yue Su was awakened by this sentence and rushed to say, "No! You can't die! You've just cleared up, and now you're reincarnated. As the saying goes, ants still steal life, let alone people. I hope you can cherish your body and live strongly. ”
"Do I still have a chance......" Du Siniang shook her head and cried. In front of him, Sun Fu was struggling with each other, as long as he didn't die, he would be snatched away by others. How to stay strong.
Of course, Yue Su understood her thoughts, and asked Li Qiongying to help Du Siniang into the cabin, straightened up, looked at Sun Fu and Li Jia, and shouted: "Who said that Du Siniang is your person, what credentials do you have?" "In the Ming Dynasty, people could be bought and sold, but they needed to be substantiated.
"There is a deed of sale here, Li Jia has signed and drawn a pledge!" Sun Fu grabbed Li Jia.
"Then Du Shi Niang has ever signed and drawn a pledge on it?" Yue Su sneered.
"It's enough to have Li Jia to draw a charge, how can she be qualified to draw a charge." Sun Fu looked at Yue Su like a fool. It seemed to be very puzzled why Yue Su would ask such an idiotic question.
However, compared to Yue Su, he is a real idiot, and Yue Su naturally has his intentions when he asks this. Yue Su smiled again: "Who is Li Jia?" is in a relationship with Du Shi Niang, why do you have the right to sell her? ”
"He is Du Shi Niang's husband, so he naturally has the right!"
"Du Shi Niang's husband?" Yue Su smiled even more, and shouted: "Then there is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, who can testify?" This kind of lawsuit is not a piece of cake for him. Don't look at Yue Su now, he looks like a soup chicken, but his demeanor is clearly like interrogating the other party.
Of course, Li Jia did not marry Du Shi Niang, Sun Fu also knew this, and he immediately said: "Du Shi Niang is the daughter of Li Jia who bought on the Qinhuai River, of course he has the right to sell people again!" ”
"So that's the case, so is there a deed of sale?" Yue Su asked coldly.
If Li Jia has a deed of sale in his hand, this matter is really difficult to handle, he is a dignified court official, and he can't rob people. It's a pity that Li Jia can't get the deed of sale now, as early as when he redeemed Du Shi Niang, Du Shi Niang had already burned the deed of sale. After Yue Su asked, Li Jia was also at a loss.
Sun Fu didn't know, looked at Li Jia, and asked, "The deed of sale should be in your hands." ”
Li Jia shook his head and smiled, and said, "I was burned by Shi Niang a long time ago......"
Yue Su saw that he did not have a deed of sale, and said righteously: "Since there is no deed of sale, Du Siniang is a free body, how can you have the right to sell people, don't you know what the crime of human trafficking is!" It's better to leave quickly, and don't dwell on this. ”
Just like that, where is Sun Fu willing to do it, and said angrily: "Boy, you count that green onion, you dare to talk to the master like this." If you know each other, send someone to me quickly, otherwise you will definitely look good! ”
"Make me look good!" Yue Su shouted: "Do you know who I am, this official is the five-grade prefect appointed by the imperial court, do you dare to kill the official and rebel!" ”
"It......'s up to you," Sun Fu laughed contemptuously. It's no wonder that he laughs, looking at Yue Su's age, but about twenty, saying that he is the prefect, who will believe it. Then he commanded loudly: "Give it to me, and snatch it for me!" ”
The two ships were now less than half a meter apart, and the four servants were given the order and jumped over. How could Yue Su give them a chance, and directly kicked the first kid who came over, and kicked people into the Yangtze River.
"Help...... ......"This kid doesn't have Yue Su's surname Shui, as soon as he falls into the river, he struggles twice, and he will sink."
The other three don't seem to have any water surnames, but looking at the posture, they don't have the slightest idea of saving people, and they rush towards Yue Su.
Their ability is simply not enough compared to Yue Su, only three punches and two kicks, and the three of them were beaten into the river together. This time, Sun Fu was frightened and asked the boatman to turn around quickly, but he didn't forget to drop the cruel words when he ran away. "Boy, you wait for me!"
Li Jia is now depressed, he has no money and money, and he slumps on the boat, and he doesn't know what to do.
*************************************************
In the evening, he finally abandoned the boat and landed on the shore and came to Ningxiang County. The four of them found an inn to settle in, and said that they would hire a car to hurry away. I didn't say anything all the way, and finally returned to Yangshuo County. Du Shi Niang, who had washed away the lead flower, was completely disillusioned, and only wanted to be a slave and a maid for Yue Su and repay him for saving his life.
Du Shi Niang has seen countless dignitaries on the Qinhuai River, although she also knows that Yue Su is an official, but she didn't expect that this prefect is completely different from the officials in the world, and there is no arrogance. On the way, everyone eats coarse tea and light rice, which is different from the previous brocade clothes and jade food, and it is not even as good as the eating and drinking of these people and Li Jia.
However, she ate very comfortably, and felt that this kind of bland day was particularly quiet and pleasant. Li Qiongying and Lan'er didn't get used to eating these meals at first, but they didn't say much, just about to come, it can be seen that Yue Su eats very fragrantly, and after a long time, they are used to it.
This day, I finally returned to Yangshuo County. Yue Su told Ruan Aoyue, Jin Chan and others the news of his promotion, and everyone was happy for him, and immediately packed up and prepared to take office with him.
After Ruan Aoyue saw Du Siniang and Li Qiongying, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, and at the same time was shocked by Du Siniang's beauty, and she didn't know what her relationship with Yue Su was. When I heard Du Siniang report to her home, my heart trembled. Knowing that Yue Su rescued Du Shi Niang, who was angry and sinking in the treasure chest, Ruan Aoyue was silent, and no one knew what she thought. But she didn't say anything to turn Du Shi Niang away.
After Li Qiongying heard that Ruan Aoyue was Yue Su's wife, her heart was extremely low, and at this moment, she didn't know where to go. She was concerned about Yue Su, and she thought about it all night before she came to a conclusion, follow this man and continue to move forward. After all, his father also has three wives and four concubines.
Tong Zhou himself is the head catcher of Yangshuo County, and after learning the news, he specially found Yue Su and expressed his willingness to quit the job of catching heads in Yangshuo County and go to Tongren Mansion with him. Of course, Yue Su is happy, in the past year, he has regarded Tong Xuan as his brother, just like Jin Chan and Tie Qiu.
There are four people named Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, Li Chen, and Zhao Jing in the catch, who have always been Tong Zhou's henchmen, and when they heard the news, they also decided to follow Yue Su together. They all have no family, their parents died early, they followed Tong Zhou, and now they are going to go back to the mountains, and they will stay in Yangshuo in the future, and they don't know what they can do together. Now that Lord Yue has been promoted to the prefect, in their eyes, this is a great official position, and if they continue to follow, they will not be able to gain a background in the future.
Yue Su also agreed, everyone has no burden, even less luggage, especially Yue Su, who has been the magistrate of the county for a year, and his family background is only a dozen taels of silver. Three mule carts were hired, mainly for women, and loaded with luggage.
As soon as the people of Yangshuo heard that Lord Yue was promoted and wanted to leave Yangshuo, they were reluctant. Everyone gathered together, burned incense and washed the street, and knelt on the ground to send each other off. In the end, I don't know who proposed it, I made an umbrella, added my name, and gave it to Yue Su. In just a small county, there are tens of thousands of people who sign on umbrellas.
"Lord Yue, walk slowly......" "Lord Yue, have a good ...... the way" "Lord Yue, you must come back to see us when you have time in the future...... "......
Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, Yue Su couldn't help but be moved to tears. In just one year, he can get the support of the people of a county, which also shows how competent and deeply rooted he is in the hearts of the people.
Li Qiongying, Ruan Aoyue, and Du Shi Niang saw it in their eyes and were all moved.
Li Qiongying's father is rich in the world, and his house is like a city, but he has not been loved by so many people. Ruan Aoyue is the daughter of Xuezheng, and her father's students are more than a thousand, but compared with Yue Su, it is a world of difference, because these people are sincerely supportive, unlike those who read, just official articles. The most shocking thing is Du Shi Niang, all the way to watch Yue Su's behavior, just as he is a clean official, now I see, Yue Su is not only honest, but also deeply loved by the people, comparable to the sky. "There is such a good official in the world, if you have met this person earlier......" Du Siniang thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself, how could she be worthy of a generation of Qingtian, if she could serve him for the rest of his life, she would be satisfied.
Say goodbye to the people of Yangshuo and rush to Tongren Mansion. Guizhou is a barren land, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, which is true. Along the way, they encountered two groups of robbers, but fortunately, Jin Chan and the others were brave and easily sent away the bandits.
When he came to Tongren Mansion, Yue Su first went to the prefect's yamen to pay his respects and arrange for his family to live. Should I say it or not, the prefect's back house is more than twice as big as the prefect's county, and Yue Su's family members are not many, and each person has a room to spare.
According to the usual practice, when the new prefect arrives, the tongzhi, the general judge, and the magistrate all come to worship the wharf, and the local businessmen also come to say hello, say some words that are taken care of, have a banquet in the evening, and then send a lot of filial piety. After a few days, the prefect's yamen should not stop.
But after taking office, Yue Su was very surprised, and the three adults who knew the same thing, the general judge, and the magistrate, came to visit him, but he only said a few words about the scene, and then said goodbye one by one, and he didn't even mention the words of picking up the wind and washing the dust at night. The local gentry didn't give face, and they didn't even see a figure.
Could it be that the local people are simple and do not pay attention to bribing officials? Yue Su really didn't believe it, so at noon that day, he sent Jin Chan and Tong Xuan to inquire with the messengers in the yamen to see what was going on.
