Chapter III: Abnormal Robbery
Wu County's attitude towards Lu Sheng was very good, and when he learned that Lu Sheng was here for Yuefeng, he immediately ordered someone to bring silver taels. He personally sent Lu Sheng to the door.
Before parting, pat your chest and promise to send the news that you are safe and sound to the state capital as soon as possible.
Wu County Ling is a county parent and an official for more than ten years. Wheel seniority, older than Lu Sheng. The wheel grade is also the same level as Lu Sheng.
But the starting point of the two is very different.
Wu County Order was born in the same Jinshi, and he has been doing it for more than ten years before he is from Bapin County Order. But Lu Sheng is a first-class jinshi, and he has already been from the eighth-rank official rank just after high school.
It stands to reason that the top Jinshiduo will be arranged to be an official in the capital. After a few years of mixing, it will be delegated to one side as the prefect, and then it will return to the center after a few years of training.
Although Lu Sheng did not stay in the capital, the first list is the first list, and the future future is definitely not within the reach of Wu County. This is also why Wu County Ling lowered his profile so much.
Zhongwu County is also a relatively wealthy county in Suzhou Prefecture. Turn a corner out of the yamen, and there is a lively street.
The streets come and go, all kinds of things. Let Lu Sheng feel like he has come to the ancient town to travel.
And this kind of natural, intimate experience is not something that can be possessed by the ancient town tourist area.
"Rock sugar gourd—"
"Melon—a delicious melon—"
"Selling pancakes—"
Walking along the road, Lu Sheng admired the scenery on the street with a smile, but he didn't know that at this moment, he had also become the scenery in the eyes of others. On the attics on both sides, a pair of eyes sneaked in.
A window was quietly opened, and a red embroidered bag was thrown down, which fell precisely on Lu Sheng's head.
Lu Sheng bent down to pick it up, looked up at the slightly open window, and a pair of smart eyes shrank back as if frightened. A faint coquettish sound sounded, making Lu Sheng smile.
The girls of this era are much more open than they imagined. If you see a child you like one day, you will throw an embroidered bag at your son.
There are talented people with names and surnames in Suzhou Mansion, and most of them will have many admirers, and Lu Sheng has long been surprised.
But this embroidered bag fell on his head, but it was the first time in his life.
It's not that Lu Sheng is inferior to those talented sons, but that he has a town house beast.
In Lu Li's words, the first thing for my brother is to study and gain fame, and the love of children will only distract my brother.
Every time Lu Sheng participates in a poetry meeting or assembly, Lu Li is always by his side, and every time the seedling of love quietly emerges, it will be cruelly nipped in the bud by Lu Li.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and tied the embroidered bag to the branch on the side of the road. With his back to a pair of mournful eyes, he floated away like a person in a painting.
"Childe, buy a piece of jewelry for your sweetheart!"
An old man came to Lu Sheng with a burden.
Lu Sheng paused, thinking that his sister hadn't had a piece of jewelry for so many years, and now she was a sixteen-year-old girl, and her feelings of indebtedness gushed out.
Immediately, Lu Sheng picked a hosta in the old man's burden. It's not such a good material, so it's not expensive.
Kicking in his arms, thinking of his sister's surprised expression for a while, Lu Sheng's face showed a gentle smile again.
Out of the county seat, seven or eight miles to the east is Donglai Township. Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. Hurry up and catch lunch.
Just now, I was still sighing that the county town was quiet and peaceful, but on both sides of the path in front of me, two big men suddenly came out.
The two of them held the firewood knife in their hands and showed an eerie sneer at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng also knows these two people. It is the famous splash skin of Straight Road Town. Since he was very young, Lu Sheng had heard that the two of them were rampant in the township and bullied the weak and feared the hard.
When Lu Sheng was thinking about how to get out, suddenly, the silent punishment order in his mind shook slightly. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, Lu Sheng could clearly feel the bursts of the punishment order.
Hold heaven and righteousness, and do things that punish evil.
This is the purpose of the Punishment Order.
With Lu Sheng as the leader, punish the wicked.
However, you have to give a condition of punishment, right? Looking at the size that is not in the same magnitude at all, the punishment is almost the same?
"Punishment order, isn't it time for you to make a move at this time?" Lu Sheng shouted in his mind.
But there was no reaction to the punishment of evil, except for the ripples like a breeze.
Lu Sheng once again recalled the rules of the punishment order, and clearly explained that Lu Sheng must be the leader. It seems that you still have to rely on yourself.
Between the calcium carbide fireworks, Lu Sheng quickly thought about the plan to deal with it. Punish the evil and put it aside first, and then avoid this catastrophe.
"Kid in front, I planted this tree ......"
"Robbery?" Before the other party finished finishing his opening remarks, Lu Sheng interrupted and asked.
The other party spoke, and his black face was suffocated and his face was flushed. I finally learned this sentence, and in order to be able to say it well, he memorized it for several days like a reader.
But before he had time to show off, Lu Sheng's words directly made him suffocate all the words in his stomach.
"This is the money to buy the road!" Lu Sheng took out the money bag and slowly put it on the ground.
This time, it was the turn of the two robbers to be confused, and it was the first time they had seen such cooperation. In the past, those who encountered robbery either cried for their fathers and shouted for their mothers, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, or dragged the silver and did not let go.
But it was unprecedented for someone like Lu Sheng to hand over the money calmly with a smile on his face.
The two robbers walked slowly, and Lu Sheng also quietly retreated.
The man at the head picked up the money bag, took out the ingot of official silver in the money bag, put it in his hand and weighed it, "Why do you kid know each other so well? Is this five taels of silver a drop in the bucket for you? Is there any silver, hand it over!"
"Two good men, misunderstood. Ask the two heroes a question, do you think you can beat the two in the next?"
"Hahaha...... Just like you skinny monkey, grandpa and I can slap you to death with one hand. The strong man at the head sneered disdainfully.
"Those two good men, if you say that you don't have any money on you, will you believe it?"
"Hmph, hmph, no silver, won't Lao Tzu search? If you do, you kid will naturally have to suffer. If you can't find it, I should beat you up to make grandpa angry. ”
"Since you don't obediently hand over the silver, you will be beaten horizontally and vertically, so isn't it natural to take out the silver obediently?"
Lu Shengfeng said lightly, and immediately made the two splashes look at each other.
"In the end, he is a reader, and it makes sense to speak. Why are there so few people like you who understand? How good it is that you are spared the pain of flesh and skin, and I save my strength!"
"What the good man said is very true, then I will leave in the future, there is a way to get together and disperse!" Lu Sheng smiled slightly with his fists clenched.
"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, we will have a period in the future!"
With a smile on his face, Lu Sheng cautiously passed by the two splashes. In the bottom of my heart, I have already scolded their ancestors for eighteen generations, if only Ahri were here......
When I take office, I'll clean you up when I come back.
Lu Sheng did not report his identity, nor did he report his official identity. It is located in the wilderness, and the officials who block the road and rob the army are at least distributed to the army. If you count these two goods that were rampant in the countryside before, it is estimated that there will be no less than a knife.
If he said his identity, if he didn't scare them off but made them move to kill people, then Lu Sheng would really have to go back.
There was no danger of escaping the catastrophe and returning home safely, and the workers hired by Lu Li had already begun to rush to work.
"Brother, why have you been there for so long?" Lu Li trotted over, wiping Lu Sheng's sweat with a towel, "Come, drink saliva, have you received Fengyin?"
"I received it, ten taels of silver. However, on the way back, I met Zhang Biao's two splashes. ”
"What?" Lu Li's face suddenly changed, "Brother, did they treat you badly?"
On the roof, the workers who were working hard paused in unison. They heard Lu Li say that his brother went to the yamen to get money before he worked first, and if he didn't have money, they wouldn't be happy to work in vain.
Lu Sheng hurriedly took out the silver from his arms, "Don't worry, the silver has not been lost, and the people are fine." I promise that your wages will not be less, and I would like to ask you to help, preferably to complete it today. ”
"Where is Mr. Lu, it's okay if you're fine. You can relax about the house, and before the sun goes down, I promise to help you repair it sturdily. ”
The money was in place, and the work became harder. The dilapidated hut was visibly restored in the afternoon when the sun was setting in the west. Lu Sheng's thatched hut has been completely renovated, and even the mud in the house has been cleaned up.
It was covered with lime, sprinkled with gravel, and pressed tightly.
After sending off the construction team, looking at the thatched hut that seemed to be brand new, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Ahri, come here!"
"I'm right here, right?" Lu Li looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously.
"Come closer!"
Lu Lihu got closer suspiciously.
"Come closer!"
Lu Li's head was almost close to Lu Sheng's chest, and his head had reached Lu Sheng's mouth.
"What are you doing? weird. ”
"Before I know it, I've grown into a big girl......" Lu Sheng said faintly, took out the hosta in the cuff and inserted it on Lu Li's head.
"What is it?" Lu Li, who must have guessed, his voice visibly trembling.
"See for yourself. ”
Lu Lifu ran to the river, and the brother and sister didn't even have a bronze mirror in their home.
"Brother, this is ...... For me?"
"For you. Lu Sheng smiled faintly.
Lu Li came to Lu Sheng again with a swish, "I don't want it, brother, you have gained fame now, it's time to start a family." I used to be afraid that I would delay your studies, but now I ...... This hosta is still for the future sister-in-law......"
Lu Sheng's nose was slightly sour, "Fool, the hosta is a gift from my brother to you, and there will be many, many more in the future." My brother assures you that we will never have a hard life again. ”
"Really?" Lu Li's eyes were full of hope.
"Ahri, the thatched hut is only for us to settle down temporarily, and after the state capital's arrangement is settled, my brother will take you to live in the official residence, okay?"
"Okay, but the hut was left to us by my father and mother after all. Here are our roots that can't be lost......"
"Don't lose it! Promise not to lose!"
"Brother, did Zhang Biao really let you go like this? Did you take out the official disc and scare them away? Do you want me to ......?"
"No, besides, where are you going to find them in the vast sea of people? Don't worry, my brother has a good idea. The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth slightly hooked up a wicked smile.
And every time that smile is evoked, it means that someone is going to be unlucky.
