Chapter 7 The goose plucks its feathers

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

Two taels of silver per person is really a lot of money. In later generations, many people thought that if these two pieces of silver were converted into RMB, it would be about 300 yuan, which was nothing, but they did not take into account that the purchasing power was very different depending on the times. This group of people just responded to the shout of the big cow, and everyone could get two taels of silver without doing anything here, and they were very happy in their hearts.

Everyone helped move the bodies of these gangsters aside, and then helped to return Zhang Renyi's body to Zhang's family. It was already dark, Zhang Youde and the others were anxious about where Zhang Renjie and Zhang Renyi had gone, and they were still waiting for them in the hall, but they didn't expect that in a noisy noise, Zhang Renjie, who was injured again, and Zhang Renyi, who was already dead, were sent. Suddenly, the Zhang family was jumping again, and it was noisy until the middle of the night, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Zhang Renjie didn't tell anyone the truth, and he didn't even confide in Zhang Youde, everyone only thought that Zhang Renyi died under the knife of the bandits. He didn't want Zhang Youde to be angry while being sad, no matter what, Zhang Youde entrusted him with this nephew, his younger brother Zhang Youfa before he died, and asked him to help take care of Zhang Renyi. If Zhang Youde knew that Zhang Renyi wanted to rob his family property and wanted to kill his own son, it is estimated that this old bone would suddenly fall down in anger, instead of being sad all of a sudden.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun rose, the people of the inspection department went to the place where Zhang Renjie and the bandits fought yesterday. It is no wonder that Lu Xiangjiu, the county commander, heard the report below early in the morning, saying that the local area was attacked by bandits last night and killed more than a dozen people, and he immediately became anxious. This year is the last year for him to be a county magistrate in Qinghe, if there is an incident of bandits attacking and killing under his rule, when the year-end exam is taken, it must be a lower, and the situation is best to be a middle lower, and it is impossible to be promoted. So after receiving the news, he immediately sent someone from the Inspection Department to the site to investigate, and then reported to him the details. Inspector Zong Ze is a local, and when he got the news, he immediately rushed to the place of the incident with his errand officer, this matter is not small, but he can't be sloppy, the county commander is really angry, he is angry, and the people below have no good life.

"You said that these people were all killed by the young master of the Zhang family?" Zong Ze said with wide eyes. He is a local, from Lingqiao Town next door, and he still knows the young master of the Zhang family, who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of seventeen. "Fart, he's a scholar, you sue me and I said he killed eleven at once, are you really a fool for me or a fool to be a county lord!"

Zong Ze also checked the injuries on these people's bodies, and several of them were fatally killed by a cut in the neck, and they did not drag mud and water. This is obviously only possible for people who are very skilled and accustomed to life and death, and those who can do this are either killing gods on the battlefield or bandits who have been around for years, and ordinary people can't do this. And he can roughly guess the identity of these people, after all, he has been dealing with this kind of people all year round, and there are many such people on the canal. He was angry, and Zhang Youde brought Zhang Renjie and the Zhang family to come.

"The inspector is far away! Sins, sins, sins! The inspector hasn't had breakfast yet, so please come with me to the village for a light meal, and then set up a table in Wangchun Tower. As soon as Zhang Youde came over, he said enthusiastically to Zong Ze.

"Old man Zhang, Ling Lang is really a civil and military all-rounder, one person can put down so many bandits, these people are all hard stubble." Zong Ze didn't say anything, but replied with a smile.

Zhang Youde really wanted to take off his shoes and smash them in his face when he heard Zong Ze's words, Zhang Renjie is a talent, and he still has to continue to take the exam every year, it is not good for a scholar to be contaminated with these miscellaneous things, if this Zong Ze insists on Zhang Renjie for this matter, it will be greatly detrimental to his future. At least the school officials of the county school and the government school hate fighting and killing the most. But this is not the time to be angry: "The inspector laughed, the child is a person who reads, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he use so many bandits." ”

Zhang Renjie didn't want to be too showy, and if he said that all these people were killed by him, it would have some impact on him in the future. "Inspector, the student was suddenly attacked by these bandits last night, but fortunately, the student's cousin Zhang Renyi fought desperately to save his life. It's just that there are a large number of bandits, and the student cousin is outnumbered, and after killing these people, he can't afford to be seriously injured, and finally one of them takes advantage of the situation to cut his throat. Please also ask the adults to call the shots for the students! ”

"Oh, so these people's deaths have nothing to do with you, right?" Zong Ze said with some sudden realization, just say, how can this scholar have such ability. But he wasn't ready to let go of an opportunity to make money. "According to what you say, it was your cousin who stopped these people, but you also said that there are more thieves than these people, so how did you survive?"

"Back to adults, the student's cousin has been in the army for many years, and has always protected the student behind him, and at the last moment, fortunately, the heroes of Gujiazhuang came to help, and the remaining few people were scared away, and it was in this way that the students were able to save their lives. I hope you will see it. Zhang Renjie also regretted it a little, he knew that he had instructed the people present last night, and he was a little passive now.

"That's right, that's it, the young master of the Zhang family is fateful!"

"Young Master Renyi is powerful, one person kills so many."

"Shut up, I didn't let you speak." Zong Ze roared angrily at the side, and suddenly frightened several people in Gujiazhuang to stop talking.

"Inspector, please take a step to speak!" Zhang Youde invited Zong Ze to take a few steps towards the side of the road: "This is a little meaning." Your Excellency, you are well-informed, and it is not good for you and the county lord to kill people in our Qinghe County, but if the bandits flow to your jurisdiction and are exterminated by you with troops, you understand! ”

Zong Ze weighed the silver in his hand, and the two big silver ingots should be twenty-five taels each. In the end, it is an old man, an old ghost, an old spirit, who knows the times, and is willing to spend money for his son, and as soon as he makes a move, it is fifty taels, just for his son to clear up the relationship in this matter. However, Zong Ze also understands that the fifty taels of silver are not all given to him, this matter is going to be concluded, and the county has to make the final decision, there must be a county honor, as for how much to give the county honor, this is not about Zhang Youde, Zong Ze himself will deal with it. "Well, that's what it is." Zong Ze took the silver and said with a smile on his face. He will arrange the next things, so that the qualitative nature of things will be different.

"Listen to me, last night a stream of bandits rushed to my dock, fortunately the young master of the Zhang family found out in advance and sent someone to report the official. He personally ventured into danger to delay this bandit, and finally waited for his subordinates to arrive and exterminated this bandit in one fell swoop. After Zong Ze finished speaking in a deep voice, he turned around and smiled at Zhang Youde and asked, "Master Zhang, is what the official said wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's right! Last night's incident was also seen by many villagers in Gujiazhuang, and everyone said yes?! Zhang Youde looked around and asked loudly. Many of the patrol officers around were the men from Gujiazhuang who came to help last night, and the people from Gujiazhuang got the silver, although they were a little stunned when they heard Zhang Youde's words, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Da, take five taels of silver out, it's not easy for the inspector and the big brother to go on a trip, please go to Wangchun Tower to eat and drink!"

"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper Zhang Da immediately took out five taels of silver from his sleeve, which had been prepared a long time ago, and the silver given to Zong Ze was given secretly, but these five taels had to be taken out in a bright and bright way, there was really a lot of knowledge in it, Zhang Renjie stood next to him and kept silent, smiling and watching this scene. Daddy Zhang Youde has told him many times about this matter, at this time, he will watch a scene of receiving gifts that can only be found in the old society, in the later generations, but no one is so bold, and people want to accept it behind their backs.

The corpses of the bandits on the ground had already been covered by straw mats, and it was too scary to put them in broad daylight, and even the stomachs of the servants around them began to have a burst of pantothenic acid water in their stomachs. At this time, the inspector was reluctant to come forward, so he found two big carts in Zhuangzi and asked a few villagers to carry the bodies into the cars and transport them away. The crowd dispersed, and there was no one here, as if the whole thing had never happened, and only the ground on the ground, which had dried up and turned blackened with blood, could tell the people what had indeed happened here.
