Chapter 14 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger

Lu Bing was dressed in satin and blue satin, riding on a tall horse, he was already a handsome and dashing person, and now he was even more extraordinary, followed by several horses and several carriages, in addition to the carriage loaded with goods, there were also Yang Feiyan Xiangyun and other people who pretended to be family members.

Zhang Shanming turned into a housekeeper and followed behind Lu Bing, Xu Jinbao was turned into a horseman who drove a car because he looked a little black and withered, Tang Kekuan also went with him, and made him look like a small worker, Xia Dade was a warrior in the courtyard, and the rest found some soldiers to pretend to be writers.

Lu Bing traveled all the way to explore the people's situation, and when he encountered officials who were neither black nor white, although they were slightly corrupt but not too excessive, and most of them were still engaged in politics and benefited the people, Lu Bing turned a blind eye and let them go. For the current affairs of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Bing has made a lot of efforts, since the Ming Dynasty Taizu, the Ming Dynasty officials are not very rich and unreasonable. An official's income seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is very unspending, not to mention that the family needs to hire some family members and what money is needed, even if he can live a hard life and does not hire people, such as the master's staff, who do not pay money to the court, they also need the magistrate to pay for it.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the magistrate does not ask all these to do it himself, but if you want to be promoted, you must give gifts to your superiors, and the gift-giving culture has existed throughout the ages, which is a shortcut to climb to a high position, and who doesn't want to be a high-ranking official? These can be waived, so does it cost money for subordinates to reward during the New Year's holidays? In short, after deducting some miscellaneous things, the magistrate will have nothing left.

China's official-oriented ideology has been circulating for a long time, and most people have gained fame and studied hard, just because they want to be officials. I have to admit that some people want to be a good official and make decisions for the people, but most of them are just to be an official and return to their hometown. As the saying goes, there are 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years, and there is no official who is not greedy, but the way of being greedy is different, or the way of dealing with it after the greed is finished, which leads to different endings.

Lu Bing searched for it, but didn't find any typical, to be honest, Zhang Qing, the governor of Bazhou, is not too much of an official, but he needs to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so he is very distressed to become a "chicken", the wall is down and everyone pushes it, those who came to sue after Zhang Qing was killed, the accusations are also a little watery. Lu Bing knew in his heart that he didn't say it, so he could only let it go, this is the helplessness of officialdom, if not, he is afraid that he will be hindered layer by layer, and it will be even more difficult.

Lu Bing and others came all the way to Dengzhou, Shandong, where the people are simple and simple, and the people are relatively well-fed, which is much better than other places. However, Lu Bing found a problem, that is, although there is no major bandit here, every household always has steel forks and other things allowed by the imperial court, as if they are guarding against something.

Lu Bing entered the county seat of Dengzhou and found that there were lanterns and a row of people welcoming Shangguan, Lu Bing suspected that his whereabouts were exposed, but found that all this was not organized by the officials, but the spontaneous behavior of the people, and he couldn't help but be more interested.

Lu Bing and the others stayed at the inn, and just after staying in the shop, Xiao Er called hot water, and heard the shopkeeper shouting and ran in, and then slammed the door, Lu Bing opened the door and said: "Shop, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Hurry up and hide, and hide all the gold, silver, and jewelry in the family." The shopkeeper was a kind middle-aged man, and he said hurriedly to Lu Bing in a Shandong accent.

Lu Bing sighed and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"I don't have so much time to explain, anyway, the guest officer just did it."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran down, ran to the door, shook his clothes, and bent down as if to greet someone. Zhang Shanming and Xu Jinbao heard the movement at this time and walked out, and looked at Lu Bing with doubts. Lu Bing repeated what the shopkeeper said to the two of them word for word, and the two of them laughed secretly, I don't know who is going to bump into Lu Bing's eyes, it's really unlucky.

A group of officers and soldiers walked in scolding, and after entering the door, they began to enter the various rooms and rummage through the cabinets, and from time to time there were one or two screams and rude laughter of the female dependents. Lu Bing was on the second floor, and he vaguely heard a few words of rich Shanxi dialect, and couldn't help but be even more strange, this is Shandong, how can there be so many Shanxi soldiers?

Suddenly, a soldier scolded and dragged you and a woman to the middle of the first floor of the inn, and then pushed the woman to the ground, and then said: "Mother, I will let you know the way of the devil and the way of the devil today, and if you touch you twice, you will dare to hit me, and I will correct you on the spot." ”

Lu Bing's eyes widened, he didn't expect someone to dare to be so arrogant and shameless, in front of the public, the soldier actually untied his belt. Suddenly, a scholar appeared at the door, carrying a few paper bags in his hand, and when he saw what was happening in the store, he screamed and then rushed forward and scuffled with the soldiers. Lu Bing understood it, it turned out that the scholar and the woman were a couple, seeing that the soldiers around him stepped forward to help and knocked the scholar to the ground, Lu Bing did not jump down from the upstairs, but ran downstairs quickly, shouting: "Stop it!" ”

Everyone only felt that their ears were like thunder, and when they looked back, they saw that it was also a teenager, Lu Bing was dressed quietly now, hiding a lot of murderous and aggressive aura, if you don't look carefully, I'm afraid you will also treat him as a scholar. Lu Bing was dressed well, so the soldiers suddenly regarded Lu Bing as a nosy and rich fat sheep, left the scholar and slowly leaned over, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him when he saw that it was not good, but he was slapped and beaten aside.

Lu Bing is waiting for this time, come here, take a few steps closer, Lao Tzu will let you know what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and educate and educate your group of soldiers and bandits. As a result, the group of soldiers hadn't come forward yet, but they saw a large soldier running into the door of the inn and said, "Why are you still here, General Liu is gathering at the training ground to give a lecture, hurry up." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to clean up this nosy lord and go again."

"Even so, I don't know who opened his crotch and exposed him."

The soldiers who came to report the news at the gate saw that everyone was surrounding Lu Bing, and the more they were encircled, the tighter and tighter they became, for fear that the fight would delay time, so they hurriedly urged: "It's too late, it's a big deal, you go quickly, I'll go first, if it's too late, the military law will deal with it." As he spoke, he ran away, and the group of soldiers who were ready to "beat" Lu Bing suddenly became excited, and someone muttered: "Even if this kid is lucky, it's strange, isn't it that the old boy surnamed Qi is here, and he can't give birth to a mao, and he doesn't have eggs, what are you afraid of." ”

"You kid don't go, wait for us from here." One person arrogantly pointed at Lu Bing, and then a group of people rushed in like a fish, and they came out again.

The shopkeeper covered his face and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guest officer, you are fine, right?" ”

"It's okay, there's nothing to do, thank you for the shopkeeper. Brother Tai, are you okay? Lu Bing hugged his fists and said to the scholar, the scholar helped his wife, stood up and hugged his fist in return: "Thank you Brother Tai for your righteous and insistent help, I am grateful, if it weren't for Brother Tai's presence, my husband and wife would inevitably be humiliated today, and I hope Brother Tai will accept my worship." ”

"You two don't drag the text here, I'm friendly with a city gate official, you guys hurry up and get out of the city, you can't stay here for a long time." The shopkeeper urged.

"Very good, very good, then there is labor, let me clean up, and come at once." The scholar hugged his fist at the shopkeeper, and saluted Lu Bing again, the shopkeeper ran to set the carriage, and the scholar went back to the room to pack up his things, Lu Bingbai was bored and found a table and sat down, and then poured the water in the pot and drank it slowly. Many tourists around looked at the lively people, and at this time they were pointing and whispering, as if they were saying that Lu Bing didn't know what the sky was high or thick, or that such an upright and heroic teenager was ruined, etc., etc.

After a cup of tea, the scholar packed his bags and walked out with his wife, and when he saw Lu Bing, who was calm and relaxed, he suddenly became anxious: "Why is Brother Tai still there, hurry up and get out of the city, we can't afford to provoke this group of soldiers." ”

"The world is not the king's land, they beat people first, what is wrong with me to stop it, it is they who are wrong, and it is not me why I want to leave." Lu Bing said, the shopkeeper happened to come in at this moment, and when he saw that Lu Bing refused to leave, he said: "Where is there still Wang Fa these days, hurry up, you can't afford to offend this group of little ghost soldiers, it's too late to go, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to." Young man, listen to my advice, don't be young and vigorous, no one will laugh at you if you leave now, everyone understands who those people are, don't lose your life for the sake of face. They really dare to kill people, and if they don't kill you, it will be more than worth the loss if they don't kill you, so I'm kind not to cause trouble. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I want to see how arrogant they are." Lu Bing still said calmly, the shopkeeper sighed when he saw that Lu Bing was not leaving, and found someone to send the scholar and his wife away, and the scholar hugged his fists again and thanked Lu Bing and the shopkeeper, and then fled in a hurry.

The shopkeeper sat down opposite Lu Bing, sighed again and said, "You, you're just too young, you know what you're afraid of if you suffer a big loss this time." If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you, young man, do you know what those people are doing? ”

"Isn't it just a bunch of stinky hills?" Lu Bing said disdainfully, and the shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Since you are a soldier, how dare you dare to provoke a scholar, Xiucai is unreasonable when he meets a soldier, haven't you heard of it?" Besides, this group of soldiers is not an ordinary soldier, but a reserve army, and even our magistrate does not dare to provoke them. A while ago, some soldiers were robbing people's daughters, but some people couldn't look at it and slaughtered the robbers with a knife. As a result, someone knew that he had led the army to destroy the hero's family, and the people petitioned excitedly, and the county magistrate was also angry and found the deputy chief soldier of the Japanese army, Lord Liu, to theorize, but he didn't expect Liu Zongbing to send hundreds of his subordinates to beat the people to the head and break the blood, even the court officials are still like this, not to mention us. ”

"Who is this Lord Liu, why are these soldiers all Shanxi accents, and why do we have a Shanxi reserve army in Shandong." Lu Bing asked, and the shopkeeper replied: "The guest officer is so well-informed that he can hear the Shanxi accent, but he is afraid that he doesn't know a little about military affairs. It is said that it should belong to Lord Qi, and it is also the general army of the Shandong Reserve Army, but I didn't expect this group of people to obey the orders of a deputy general soldier from Shanxi, and they ran rampant in the countryside all day long to plague the people. When Lord Qi is there, he can still restrain them, as long as they leave a place, they will immediately be exposed. Now that Lord Qi has returned to Beijing to report on his work, he is originally from Dengzhou, Shandong, and when he comes back, he naturally has to go home to see his mother first. We were overjoyed to hear the news that Mr. Qi was about to return to Beijing. If nothing else, just for the sake of us being able to live a stable life, the people spontaneously put up lights to welcome Lord Qi, but they never thought that this move would annoy Mr. Liu, who had a small belly, and let go of his subordinates from the morning and began to loot. ”

"So that's the case, then I have to wait for them to come to me for revenge, if they can't find me, I will be angry with you, one person does things and one person is responsible, I can see that you are a kind person in charge, I can't drag you down, hahaha, you go and get busy first, I'll sit here and wait for them." Lu Bingman's nonchalant smile.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a group of soldiers walked in, and when they saw Lu Bing still sitting there waiting for them with a smile, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they tied Lu Bing up and took him away, and punched and kicked a few times during the march.
