Section 1: Outwitting and Twinkling 3

With each step Pudding, the next step is in mind. Suddenly, a girl shouted from behind me, "Pudding, it's not good." ”

As soon as Pudding turned around, it was Zhou Yuxuan, the daughter of the county school Master Zhou. Zhou Yuyan is two years younger than Pudding, and because of his father, he is the text instructor of Pudding's gang. Bu Taixu is worthy of being a student, he has been in charge of the county for many years, and other political achievements are average, but the county school has been impressive, and he opened a school near the east gate, named Asahi School. And Zhou Yumao's father is a hired student, because he looks high and poor all day long, everyone calls him Master Zhou. Asahi School is not a free school, and the fees are not expensive, so ordinary people can afford it. Lao Bumao relied on exquisite craftsmanship to live, although he was not rich, but he also had more than enough food and clothing, but Pudding was not willing to go to school, and Lao Bumao forced Pudding to study for three years with a cigarette bag and pot. In the past three years, I don't know much about words, but I can make do with it. When he went to school, he was with Zhou Yuyu. Zhou Yuyan was very young and squeamish at that time, she was not bold and always loved to cry, and her partners called her Gillian. Gillian relied on her father, who was a teacher, and looked down on Pudding very much, so she asked Pudding to repair it a few times, and then she became Pudding's follower, and she mixed with a bunch of boys all day long.

But as the only woman in the pudding team, Gillian is also very favored. As long as Gillian brought it up, Pudding didn't disagree. What Gillian likes, as long as she calls her brother sweetly, Pudding will do everything possible to complete it.

Seeing that it was Gillian, Pudding stopped and asked, "Gillian, what's wrong?" ”

"Pudding, no, the official has gone to your house."

Pudding chuckled, pulled Gillian and ran home, and said to Gillian as he ran: "Gillian, I will be able to get the hairpin you want soon, you wait patiently." ”

"Wow, brother, you really have a way." Gillian cheered.

When I got to the door, I saw three horses tied to the door. Pudding went around to the back of the courtyard, climbed up the old locust tree outside the wall, and through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he saw that Daddy Bu Mao was sitting under the wall of the house, and three catchers were standing in front of him and shouting at him. All three are old and bad, and Pudding knows one of them. One of them was Yuan Jiang, a servant who lived at the West Gate. The surname Yuan is a big surname in the West Gate area, and five or six out of ten people in the village are surnamed Yuan. Although Yuan Jiang's family is not a rich family, they also have a few acres of thin fields, and it is enough to eat on weekdays. Later, Yuan Jiang's only brother Yuan Hai went out to do business and died in a foreign country, leaving Yuan Jiang as the only seedling in the Yuan family. At that time, just in time for the county soap class to have a shortage, He Dajin was friendly with the Yuan family, so he secretly informed him. Yuan's father was ruthless, sold a few acres of thin fields, and donated a service to Yuan Jiang. Pudding and Yuan Jiang's son Yuan Wen have known each other since childhood, and they have also studied in the school together, so they know Yuan Jiang.

I only heard He Dajin say: "From the moment you entered the door to now, you old immortal can only hum haha, let me ask you again, where is your son Pudding?" ”

Qiao Sidao: "I said, Lao Bu, they are all neighbors, and we don't want to embarrass you, but don't embarrass us, you can tell your son's whereabouts quickly, don't worry, the county master just has a few words to ask him, it's not a big deal." ”

Lao Bumao was holding a big cigarette pouch in his hand, his eyebrows were low, and he was still the half-dead appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

He Dajin held the horsewhip in his hand, a little annoyed, and shouted: "Don't say it again, Lao Tzu will whip you." ”

Bu Mao was also afraid of being whipped, raised his head and shook his head, pointed his finger to the sky, and muttered in his mouth: "Ahem...... Alas...... "If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all."

He Dajin and Qiao looked at each other in all directions.

Yuan Jiang explained: "Team leader, Lao Bu means that he doesn't know where he is, so let you wait and come back before dark."

He Dajin: "Hey, let's wait for him, the county lord is still waiting there, the pudding boy has made such a big disaster, he can't tell where to hide, just take the old one back and hand it over first."

After that, he took out the shackles and waited for the handcuffs to be handcuffed.

I only heard a childish voice behind me and said: "Your young master is so good here, why do you say that I am hiding, what is the use of long eyes?" ”

The three of them hurriedly turned around, only to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man in cloth standing behind the three of them at some point, holding his hands on his chest, with a disdainful look on his face, like a little adult.

He Dajin said: "You are the pudding? ”

"It's your young master."

"Hey, with your poor appearance, you still dare to call yourself a young master?"

"Hmph, haven't you heard the county school master Zhou said: 'The young one, the small one. Master, old also. 'The young master is the meaning of the little old man, where is it said that there is a distinction between rich and poor. Look at your dignified seven-foot body with a big head hanging on it, but unfortunately, the head is big and brainless. ”

"Bastard, sure enough, my teeth are sharp, see how I clean you up." He Dajin was counted down by a teenager who was not as old as his child, and he was immediately a little annoyed, and reached out to grab the front of the pudding. The pudding flashed under his armpit like a little monkey, rubbed and rubbed, and in a few clicks climbed onto the plane tree in the courtyard. He Dajin ran under the tree, pointed and scolded: "You kid dare to resist arrest? Roll down for Lao Tzu. ”

Qiao Si said straightforwardly: "I said the team leader, I can't complain that You Siniang told us to lead a dog to arrest this kid." ”

Pudding sat on the stretched branches and shook his legs leisurely: "Dogs come for nothing, even dogs can't climb trees." ”

Gillian covered her mouth and was happy. Qiao Si suddenly realized, and jumped to his feet in anger, "Good boy, dare to scold us." ”

"Why did you arrest your young master?"

"I'm lazy to talk nonsense with you, I'll know when I get to the lobby."

"That young master is also lazy to tell you, you have the ability to catch your young master."

He Dajin angrily pulled out his waist knife, cut it according to the body of the tree, and said: "Monkey cub, you are on top, Lao Tzu fell to death you." ”

Qiao Si gave He Dajin an idea: "Boss, if you run away, the monk can't run the temple, and you can't catch the young and the old." As he spoke, he raised his face and said to Pudding: "If the little monkey doesn't come down again, even your old man will be handcuffed, hum, and there will be a time when your grandfather and wife will suffer." ”

Gillian also persuaded on the side: "Pudding, come down quickly." ”

Pudding didn't want to involve Lao Bu, and said: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, your young master has played enough, so let's come down." ”

With that, Pudding jumped down from the tree, like a little monkey. He Dajin was afraid that the pudding had run away, so he grabbed him with his left hand as a chest, and raised his right hand to make a big ear scraper. The pudding's head was tilted, and when he came over again, there were five blood-red fingerprints on his right cheek.

He Dajin scolded: "Lao Tzu told you to scold, but you can't scold?" ”

I wanted to fight again, but was persuaded by Yuan Jiang: "Team leader, don't fight, you forgot that Master Bu hates lynching outside the hall the most." Do you remember the previous class leader? If you don't let us fight when you get to the court, why rush for a while? ”

He Dajin nodded, knowing that he was in a hurry, looked at Pudding's face, and said with some regret: "This is your little rabbit cub scolding Lao Tzu's thin punishment, when the county master asks you, if you know each other, you will honestly say that you fell by yourself." Otherwise, huh! ”

Pudding tilted his face and said, "Where can you teach Young Master to fall out of his fingerprints?" ”

"This ......" He Dajin was stunned by the question.

Pudding continued: "I said that if you didn't fight, it would be over. ”

He Dajin said: "Yes, as long as you don't say that Lao Tzu beat you, otherwise, Lao Tzu will not be able to spare you and your grandfather in the future." ”

Qiao Si shackled the pudding, only to find that the pudding's small physique, the shackles were useless at all, and they automatically slipped off as soon as they were cuffed. Shaking his head, he put the pudding on the horseback, and the three of them hurried back, the county lord had been waiting for almost an hour.

Pudding arrived in the lobby, all the plaintiffs and defendants were gathered, and Bu Taihui reopened. Shocked, he asked again, "Plaintiff, what is the matter?" ”

You Siniang said: "Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the slave family...... and recounted the fire in the warehouse in the middle of the night. After finishing speaking, Bu Taihui said to the pudding who was kneeling on the defendant's stone: "Defendant little Pudding, can you plead guilty?" ”

Pudding raised his head, revealing an aggrieved look, and said, "Qingtian Ancestor, the child is wronged." ”

Bu Taihui couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "Nonsense, what Qingtian Ancestor?" ”

Pudding said: "The child's surname is cloth, and the eldest lord is also surnamed cloth, You Siniang is a child, but she still wants to call you the eldest master, so the kid should naturally call you the ancestor." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.

You Siniang pointed at the pudding and scolded: "Ouch, look at how sweet his little mouth is, this sycophant, you little ponyass." ”

The startled wood knocked again. Although Bu Taihui is used to hearing sycophants, the loud sycophants of the little pudding still feel very useful. Besides, the little pudding's retrospective recognition of ancestors won the heart of Bu Tai Hui, and outsiders couldn't hear it, but Bu Tai Hui understood that their surname Bu was originally a scarce surname. Historically, there are different opinions about the origin of the surname Bu, but one of the most credible sources is that it comes from the Zhao State Doctor Buzi during the Warring States Period, which belongs to the name of the ancestor. Although the Bryde's people are small, they are widely distributed. Bu Taihui's hometown, Dabu Township, located in the northwest of Yanggu County, is one of the Bu surname settlements, and it is called Dabu Township because of the ancestral residence of the Bu clan.

Bu Taihui came up and was full of affection for Pudding, and knocked on the wood with his hand and said, "Don't make a noise, little Pudding tell me where you are wronged?" “

"Your Excellency, please take a look." Pudding struggled to raise the right side of his face. Bu Taihui looked at it, and only then did he see clearly that there were five clearly visible fingerprints on Pudding's fair and tender right face. Bu Taihui was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he was very interested in rules and laws, and he was an official for these years, and he governed a county in an orderly manner, relying on strict laws, and he had repeatedly warned the officials not to abuse lynching. Especially when going out to arrest, as long as the other party does not resist, torture is never allowed. If there is a violation, he will be investigated deeply. The previous head of the fast shift was arrogant, abused lynching, and was angry with Bu Taihui, scolded fifty with a cane, blasted out of the public, and never hired. Now selling pork on Ximen Street, life is far less beautiful than before.

After He Dajin finished playing the pudding, he remembered that he had been in charge of the previous team, and he was afraid all the way. Several times he told Pudding not to mention the matter, but unexpectedly, Pudding came up and said it. Seeing Bu Taihui's face, he couldn't help but tremble, and his legs and stomach trembled. I only heard Bu Taihui say angrily: "Who did this?

Saying that, looking at He Dajin, Bu Taihui had already guessed that it might be He Dajin's doing. Because, in the official yamen of that year, the officials bullied the small people with the status of tolerance, and Bu Taihui knew this.

He Dajin was almost about to kneel down and admit it, but at this time, Pudding spoke: "Qingtian Ancestor, it was Wei Yinsheng who opened a pawnshop on Ximen Street who beat the boy.

Pudding's words made the whole room stunned. Everyone is thinking: How can such a small case involve a big boss.

I only heard Pudding say with a small mouth: "My lord, here's the thing, Wei Yin, the shopkeeper of He Ji's pawnshop, wanted to find a good girl a few days ago is Tang Rongqi, the girl from the Yingchun Pavilion in Xuncuifang, but he was stared at by his mother-in-law, so he gave the boy a penny of silver, and asked the boy to be an old man under the moon. Unexpectedly, after Tang Rongqi accepted one or two pieces of silver from the shopkeeper of Wei, he somehow did not meet Boss Wei's wishes. Boss Wei was angry and asked the kid to return the money, but the money was all spent, and there was no money to return. He asked the kid to set fire to Xun Chunfang, and if the little one didn't go, he started beating me. Later, he robbed the relics of the boy's mother to blackmail, and the kid had no choice but to do it against his will. ”

"What did he rob you?"

"It's a small gold pendant engraved with a golden Buddha from my mother's family."

Bu Taihui didn't dig any deeper. At this time, You Siniang scolded: "My lord, don't listen to him, this bad thing lacks discipline from his mother, and he can say anything." ”

Pudding said: "You and I are both people who lack discipline from mothers, why do you still attack each other? ”

The crowd was puzzled. Pudding shook his head and explained: "You Siniang, again-death-mother, isn't there also a lack of discipline from your mother?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

You Siniang almost turned her back on her anger, and was about to scold back, when she was shocked and knocked again: "Spread Tang Rongqi and Wei Yinsheng." ”

The two men were close to the county office, and after a short time, the two were brought in. When Tang Rongqi saw You Siniang and Pudding from afar, his eyes turned black with fright, lest Pudding tell him that he had secretly asked him to come forward to burn Xuncuifang to vent his anger. Once You Siniang learns the truth, then she will die without a place to be buried.
