Chapter 27: The Law of the Tang Dynasty
After getting on the horse, Song Kai and Zhou Ce walked side by side to the Hongchen Inn.
"Song Kai, it's best not to talk about the training to outsiders, and as for the location of the morning training and the people you meet, don't mention it," Zhou Ce instructed.
"I know, you've said it three times," Song Kai smiled, and then said with a serious face, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I know that the stakes are very high, so I won't mention it to others." ”
"Well, that's good, I'll go to the Huichun Hall today to change the dressing, and after eating there, I'll accompany you to the mountain manor, as for Xue Lao, he has some things to do today, and he can't go," Zhou Ce finished speaking, and rode a step ahead.
The price of horses is very high, if it is a stronger horse, like this one under Song Kai's crotch, the price is even more expensive, and twenty taels of gold is also possible.
Song Kai rode a horse, pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and those who could ride horses on the street in these years were either rich or expensive, just like driving a sports car to walk around the pedestrian street in later generations.
Riding on a horse, Song Kai thought about Zhou Ce's words, a morning training, but Zhou Ce repeatedly instructed not to tell others, it seems that this morning training is not an ordinary training, otherwise there is no need to be so secretive.
It's just that why did Zhou Ce train those soldiers in private this week? Eight hundred soldiers, training every day, there is mutton for breakfast, although I don't know how much the salary is, but they all look good, these people are simply cultivated as the elite of the elite! Although those soldiers were far worse than Zhou Ce, they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and it was not a problem to fight three against one at all.
Eight hundred secret dead?
Song Kai buttoned his nostrils, forget it, what are you thinking about these useless things, the training in the morning, it is indeed a sore back, go back to the store and let Nie Ling rub it...... Well, forget it, I'm afraid that the more I will be rubbed by that woman, it will get worse and worse.
"Murder!" There was a muffled sound in the alley not far away, the sound was very short, and it disappeared quickly.
Song Kai was startled, looked around, and there were people around him who secretly glanced into the alley, and then quickly turned around, as if nothing had happened.
Song Kai clamped the horse's belly between his legs, the horse turned slightly in the same direction, and entered the alley, in the depths of the alley, several figures were shaking, there was a person lying on the ground, and another person was riding a jujube red horse, standing on the side.
Four or five people in green clothes next to him beat the people on the ground frantically, and after a while, the man on the horse waved his hand, then pulled the reins and rode away.
The five housekeepers followed behind the horse's butt and left in a big way.
Song Kai rode on his horse and looked at several people.
A few people on the opposite side walked this way in a big way, and when they got closer, Song Kai found that several people were wearing masked black cloths with indifferent expressions.
"Heh......"
The person on the horse suddenly sneered with disdain, he looked at Song Kai directly, stretched out his index finger and pointed at Song Kai.
Song Kai was puzzled, and then found that the man riding the horse was an acquaintance, Yang Huaiyan.
Yang Huaiyan made a movement to wipe his neck towards Song Kai, then laughed, lifted the reins, and left from another alley on a jujube red horse, followed by the family behind him, and also ran away quickly.
Song Kai frowned, he rode on a horse and walked dozens of meters into the alley, and then saw an old woman lying in a pool of blood, her body twitching, and her mouth was still screaming in low horror: "Murdered...... Killed...... Killed ......"
"It's Mrs. Jiang, it's the matchmaker who spreads rumors!" Song Kai immediately understood, he lifted the reins, turned around, and rushed towards the inn.
The people around just watched from afar, and it didn't take long for two martial marquis with Tang swords to arrive, set up Mrs. Jiang, and walked to the medical hall not far away.
Song Kai's heart was a little confused, this was the Tang Dynasty, and he suddenly understood that this was the Tang Dynasty after all, not the future generations.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty are very strict, but the law and order situation cannot be compared with later generations!
Yang Huaiyan dared to take his family to beat Mrs. Jiang in broad daylight, because of what! Because he's powerful! What's more, there will be no evidence that he did it! Even if Mrs. Jiang sued Yang Huaiyan to the county government and the state government, she would give up because there was no evidence!
Riding a horse, I went straight to the back door and into the backyard.
Chang Sheng is splitting wood.
Song Kai jumped off the horse and told Chang Sheng to take good care of the horse.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, I understand, this horse is expensive," Chang Sheng smiled innocently, and then led the horse to the northwest corner and set up a temporary stable.
"Don't follow me! Please, Grandma! There was a voice from the kitchen in front of him, and then he saw Zhao Tieshan running out of the kitchen with an apron and a meteoric iron kitchen knife.
"Brother Tieshan!" A coquettish voice sounded, "I've been knitting this belt for most of the night!" ”
Song Kai could afford goosebumps when he heard it, he looked over strangely, and saw that it was Cuilan chasing Zhao Tieshan and running over, and Cuilan was still holding a big red belt in her hand.
Zhao Tieshan's face was frightened, and Cuilan's face was full of shyness, and with her chubby and festive appearance, she was indeed very happy.
"Don't come here! You come over to me...... I'll just ...... I'll kill myself with this meteorite kitchen knife! Zhao Tieshan put the meteorite kitchen knife on his neck.
"Brother Tieshan, don't make trouble, hurry up and bring your belt and go to cook," Cuilan winked desperately at Zhao Tieshan.
Zhao Tieshan pitifully put down the kitchen knife, as if he knew that this method could not threaten Cuilan.
Song Kai coughed, walked over, and said with a serious face: "Zhao Tieshan!" What are you doing! Hurry back to the kitchen and cook! Do you want to be deducted from your salary? ”
When Zhao Tieshan saw Song Kai, he was startled, and quickly shrunk his neck and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper, I'll go here." ”
Cuilan also lowered her head and whispered, "I...... I'll go too, shopkeeper, don't deduct my wages. ”
Song Kai laughed, "Don't worry, Cuilan, I fully support your actions." ”
Cuilan raised her head suddenly, looked at Song Kai gratefully, and then blushed, took the red belt and ran to the kitchen.
"Hehe, Zhao Tieshan, your grandson, still wants to rob women with Lao Tzu...... Hey, why is Nie Ling my woman? Song muttered happily and walked towards the kitchen.
ate casually in the kitchen, and not long after, Zhou Ce entered the inn.
Song Kai took twenty taels of gold from Nie Lingdang, and left with Zhou Ce.
When I arrived at yesterday's dock, a larger canopy boat was docked on the shore, and there were several baskets on the boat, obviously for tea, and there were seven Tsing Yi guards standing on the boat, and they didn't say much, after Zhou Ce and Song Kai got on the boat, they shook the boat and left.
"Xue Lao said that the two taels of gold yesterday don't have to be returned, so they will be converted into tea money, and he said that he is still waiting for your tea," Zhou Ce said with a smile.
Song Kai nodded yes, and then seemed to inadvertently talk about Yang Huaiyan's violent beating of Mrs. Jiang.
After hearing this, Zhou Ce just nodded, and sighed: "Song Lang, it's best not to have a conflict with that Yang Huaiyan, his father Yang Rongguang is a person with a city government, and he has some background, so it's not easy to get along." ”
"I know, but, Brother Zhou, even if Yang Rongguang has some background, but after all, he is only a county official, with a county order on it, and a state government official, so don't you have a problem with him?" Song Kai wondered.
Zhou Ce shook his head, "A Yang Rongguang is naturally nothing to be afraid of, if he is determined to deal with him, he can naturally do it, but the government needs to pay attention to the law to do things, not to mention that there is no death now, even if there is a death, there is no evidence to be found, and there is no legal crime." Yang Rongguang is the county leader, the sixth division of Wu County, and he is familiar with the handling of cases. ”
Song Kai let out a "hmm".
Zhou Ce chuckled, "Okay, brother, don't worry about such things, although Yang Rongguang has some background, but in Suzhou City, he is far from qualified, if he really dares to do something excessive, someone will naturally punish him, don't worry." ”
This time, the speed of the boat was a little faster, and in less than an hour, the canopy boat entered Taihu Lake and docked.
Song Kai, Zhou Ce and seven Tsing Yi guards went ashore together and walked towards the manor.
When I arrived at the manor, I saw a group of people gathered around.
"Really, really! Lao Wang! Your mouth is really not crooked! ”
"Oh, when I laugh, it's still crooked...... It's much better than yesterday, though! ”
"How the hell do you get rid of the dirt? Which Taoist priest was invited? ”
The men and women of the workers on the manor were mixed and gossiping.
"Uncle Wang didn't invite a Taoist priest!" A crisp and tactful voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, it was Qing Niang's, "Yesterday, that Langjun said that Uncle Wang's crooked mouth was because of the wind and cold, and when he reached the meridians at his mouth, it would be like this!" Na Langjun also said that our silkworms that died of illness can also be used in medicine. You see, Uncle Wang's nose is stuffed with the corpse of a silkworm baby! ”
"Dead silkworms can also be cured?"
"Healed the evil spirit?"
"Can a crooked mouth be cured?"
"Then Lang Jun Mo is not a demon?"
The discussion began again.
Uncle Wang, who had a crooked mouth, just grinned, and Qingniang stood beside him, arguing without hurry: "Then Lang Jun is not a demon, Lang Jun said that this sick silkworm can drive away evil spirits, and Lang Jun still wants to buy our tea garden, Lang Jun said......"
Song Kai walked over, looked at Qingniang and laughed, whenever she said "Lang Jun said ......", Song Kai felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"Don't fight, Uncle Wang, I'll see if your crooked mouth is okay," Song Kai stretched out his hand and straightened Uncle Wang's face.
Uncle Wang looked at Song Kai and smiled.
"Don't laugh!" Song Kai commanded.
Uncle Wang really tried to hold back his smile.
It's more than half recovered.
"Well, it will take another three or five days to get completely better, and when it is cold in the future, there will be less wind," Song Kai patted Uncle Wang's shoulder, and then turned his head to look at Qingniang, his eyes were hooked, and he smiled.
Qingniang hurriedly lowered her head, "Why does Lang Jun look at ...... like this?"
"I just think you speak very well," Song Kai laughed, and then said loudly: "Let's all disperse first, and we will teach everyone the techniques of roasting tea and making tea in a while. ”
"Yes!"
A circle of people applauded.
Song Kai walked to the house with Zhou Ce and the others.
