Chapter 7 The wicked must be strong
The proposal to borrow grain was decided, and the hearts of the four leaders of the cottage, including Wang Lun, were bright, and Song Wan invited everyone back to the table to drink, and kept persuading Wang Lun to say, "Even if the elder brother only eats a bowl of water, the younger brother is also happy in his heart!" Wang Lun couldn't shirk it, so he had to go to the Juyi Hall with everyone.
A group of six people were talking and laughing on the road, and when they were about to arrive at the Juyi Hall, Wang Lun suddenly saw two adults with children standing at the door of the hall, looking like a family, and at this time the young couple was looking down at him, his eyes were cowering.
Wang Lun took a closer look, and it was Li Si who had just pleaded guilty to himself, and next to him was a woman in her early twenties, although the woman's appearance was not very outstanding, but she was also quite moving, which was very eye-catching in this mountain of men. Behind the little couple is a child about three or four years old, who is biting the fat chicken leg in his hand with his small mouth open, and from time to time he puts his greasy little hand in his mouth to suck it, which is very cute.
Wang Lun saw that the family of three seemed to be waiting for him, so he was not busy going in, took a look at them, and stepped forward to hold the child in his arms. When the child saw the living person coming to hug him, he didn't struggle and make noise, but just obediently snuggled in Wang Lun's arms, and gnawed on the chicken leg in his hand attentively. That kind of single-minded concentration made Wang Lun and Du Qian and the others who stopped laugh.
The little woman saw that her child's little face was covered with oil stains, for fear of soiling Wang Lun's sleeves, and hurriedly wanted to take the child over, Wang Lun smiled and shook his head, just teasing the child in his arms.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, Li Sixiang made a lot of determination and said to Wang Lun: "Owner of the village, I ...... I can't speak! The owner of the village treats the grace of our whole family's life, I will always remember it, and I and my Hun family want to pay tribute to the owner of the village a bowl! After speaking, he handed a bowl of wine to Wang Lun very formally.
Seeing this, Zheng Qian smiled on the side: "Li Si, your mind is the owner of the village, but his old man has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is inconvenient to drink, so I will drink this wine for the owner of the village!" After speaking, he was going to pick up the bowl of wine in Li Si's hand.
When Li Si heard this, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly explained: "I forgot about this stubble, and I ask the owner of the village to forgive me!" ”
"It's okay!"
Wang Lun waved his hand, pressed Zheng Qian, who was eager to replace the wine, and with one hand, he pushed the child who was gnawing on the chicken leg in his arms to his body, and from the hand of Li Si, who looked panicked, he took a full bowl of low-alcohol village brew of this era, and drank it all without the slightest hesitation.
When Li Sihe saw the young woman, she was also busy drinking all the water and wine in her hands, and after drinking, the couple's faces were flushed, and they were a little excited. Seeing that they were so simple, Wang Lun was not in a hurry to leave, and chatted: "Li Si, where are you from?" Why did you think that you brought your wife and children to Dazhai? ”
Who knew that Li Si saw that Wang Lun did not leave after drinking, but took the initiative to ask about his situation, which surprised him. Suddenly, a strange feeling of flattery overflowed all over the body, and the whole person stood there unspeakable. It wasn't until later that the woman couldn't stand it anymore and secretly pulled her husband's sleeve, Li Si came back to his senses, and only after he settled down did he reply: "Back to the owner's words, I and my Hun family were originally villagers of Xixi Village outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, and they have been guests in Baozheng's house for generations. I went to Baozheng's house to complain, but I was repeatedly driven out by the old Baozheng, my father and mother were disgusted for a while but left......" Speaking of this, Li Si's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth, "I know that the beast not only did not restrain himself, but intensified, and that night he was drunk on the top of the mourning hall to make trouble, and I couldn't bear to break my arm with a flat shoulder, and the little beast on the spot shouted to send me to the lawsuit, and I was forced to be helpless, so I voted for the cottage overnight!" ”
Wang Lun was furious when he heard this, and casually smashed the wine bowl on the steps in front of the hall, and scolded: "How dare this dog thief be so rude? Is there no royal law in this Yuncheng County! I heard that Wen Bin was a good shepherd at that time, how could he rule such turbidity!? ”
Seeing that Wang Lun was so angry, Zhu Gui was busy persuading on the side, "Brother calm his anger and take care of your body!" Li Si Village's behavior in the past has also been heard by the younger brother! Seeing Wang Lun looking at him, he said in detail, "I heard that there are people in Xixi Village who dare to go against him, whether you are a tenant or a villager, secretly beat a stick, beat it to death and throw it in the stream at the edge of the village, and pretend to be a ghost, saying that ghosts are worshipped and tempting people to go into the water!" Over the years, either the monk has been invited to recite the scriptures, or the Taoist priest has been invited to do the law, in fact, it is all to cover up his crimes! The government was fed by him, and he never came to find out! ”
"I know about it, too!" Listening to Zhu Gui's detailed speech, Song Wanyi patted his thigh and said: "On that day, the Baozheng of Xixi Village asked someone to use bluestone to hew a pagoda and put it by the stream, in order to suppress the ghosts in the water and not come to Xixi Village. How do you know that Baozheng of Dongxi Village is a good man, he took the pagoda and put it on the edge of his village, and the villagers thought that the two villages would cause a fight because of this incident, but who knew that Baozheng of Xixi Village didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and this matter was over! After this incident, this Dongxi Village Baozheng Chao Gai has a nickname of the King of Tota, I walked the rivers and lakes at that time, and heard many people talk about it, so I knew! ”
When Wang Lun heard about the whole story, his heart gradually calmed down, and he nodded to Song Wan and said: "I have also heard of the name of Chao Baozheng in Dongxi Village, and it is rumored that he is a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth. In addition, there is a timely rain Song Gongming in Yuncheng County, who now lives in the position of the secretary, and is also quite famous for helping the poor in the rivers and lakes. Li Si, let me ask you! Have you ever gone to the county government to complain? ”
Li Si shook his head, his face seemed to be about to cry, and he mourned: "The owner of the village, my family has only been a small guest who rents acres of land for generations, and he has no money and no power, even if he is sued, how can he be a righteous opponent in the village?" I have also heard the villagers talk about the name of Song Zhusi, but he was a guest in Baozheng's house in the past, the two of them seem to be one person, and everyone in the village has seen it in person, how dare I come forward to complain? "In the Song Dynasty, tenants who rented large fields were generally divided into two kinds, one was called a cattle guest with self-cultivated cattle, and the other was called a small guest who had no cattle at home. The difference between the two lies in the amount of taxes paid to the landlord, the cattle are generally half of the harvest with the landlord, and the small guests have to pay more than sixty percent, but regardless of the cattle and small customers, as long as you are a tenant, in addition to handing over most of the harvest on weekdays, you have to do things for the landlord's family unconditionally, and are enslaved by others, even the family members are not spared, and the status is very humble.
"Brother, the way of the world is like this, what can the people do?" Du Qian saw that Wang Lun's face was uncertain, and he also persuaded.
Wang Lun's eyes swept over Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui one by one, and said: "Li Situo's family has taken my Liangshan, it is you and me, and my hands and feet are injured and in pain!" He doesn't care about his grievances, doesn't I care about the copycat? I don't think this wine tastes good anymore! It is estimated that there will be no snow tonight, Du Qian and Song Wan brothers, Hugh has to resign from hard work, only overnight we will go down the mountain to see the majesty of this Xixi Village! In addition, Brother Zhu Gui should not go back to the hotel, there will be Brother Lao with the children to guard the cottage tonight! John doe! Take the children of the Hun family down to eat, and when it gets dark, you will lead the way, and my cottage will definitely give you justice! ”
When Li Si and the woman heard Wang Lun's words, tears fell like rain, and both of them knelt down and kowtowed: "The kindness of the owner of the village, ten thousand deaths will not be rewarded!" ”
Wang Lun helped the two of them up and returned the child to them, but at this time Song Wan said loudly: "Brother, Hugh said that it was very hard!" It's just that I want you to go down the mountain in person, what face do I have to wait! My brother has just recovered from a serious illness, so if I rest in the cottage, I will go with my brother of the Du family, and I will definitely mention that Baozheng will come to meet my brother! ”
Wang Lun knew that Song Wan was motivated by good intentions, which was different from Song Jiang's intention to raise the cover in the future. But he didn't want to learn Chao Gai to do it, everything sat down on the mountain, never did it himself, and finally made the mountains and mountains only know that there is Song Jiang, but they don't know that there is Chao Gai.
Wang Lun patted Song Wan on the shoulder and said, "I understand my brother's kindness, but this matter is too bad!" One is that Li Si has entered the cottage, and his grievances are the grievances of my cottage, if I don't do it myself, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep and eat in the future. Moreover, Xixi Village and Dongxi Village are separated by a stream, and the Chao Tianwang of Dongxi Village is not an idle person, and there are many high-rollers on the rivers and lakes in the village, although it is rumored that he is not on good terms with Xixi Village, but after all, he is a person from a township! I will wait for the team to go to take revenge, the movement must be not small, but I am afraid that when the time comes, I will disturb him and cause a misunderstanding in vain, I will go in person to improvise, brothers are kind to me Wang Lun knows in his heart, but this matter is settled! ”
Song Wan saw that Wang Lun was thoughtful, so he didn't insist anymore. Du Qian and Zhu Guijian said that they did not persuade again, and everyone just invited Wang Lun to return to the table together to discuss the matter of avenging Li Si at night.
