Chapter 9 The son of the family

Zhang Tunchang looked at the two people under the city wall, his heart trembled, knowing that these two people were not easy to mess with, not to mention the prestige of these two people in the county, even the strong man surnamed Niu looked like he was not easy to mess with.

After settling down, Zhang Tunchang said to the city: "Two, I also know that you are well-known people, and you will not do anything that is detrimental to your reputation, but this big insect is a beast after all, and it is difficult to understand human nature. ”

Hu Mingjian thought about it for a while, and knew that what Zhang Tunchang said was also reasonable, but he just wanted to separate Niu Ben from the Black King, Hu Mingjian looked at Niu Ben's angry eyes, and also knew that this was unlikely, so he said in embarrassment: "What Zhang Tunchang said also has some truth, but after all, this big worm is the thing of my two brothers, and if I want to wait for a loss, I'm afraid it's not good!" How about this big insect I take home and take strict care of it, so that this big insect doesn't have a chance to go out. ”

Zhang Tunchang thought about it, looked at Hu Mingjian's attitude, and knew that this was the best result today, if he really provoked the two people in the city, even if he didn't care about himself today, he would find a group of rangers in the future and scold the street at his own house, and he couldn't stand it.

Zhang Tunchang thought of the possibilities in the future, the cold sweat on his forehead broke out again, and he said immediately: "Since Mr. Hu is talking like this, I can't help but give you a face, but this way into the city and home will be guarded by our soldiers!" ”

As soon as Hu Mingjian heard that Zhang Tunchang agreed, he didn't care about these side matters, and immediately agreed.

Niu Ben saw that Hu Mingjian was quick to speak, and he had already agreed, so he had to acquiesce in the matter.

When Zhang Tunchang heard Hu Mingjian's words, he relieved himself, commanded his subordinates to open the city gate, and went down with more than half of his troops to prepare.

In front of Hu Mingjian and the others, the mottled city gate gradually opened, Zhang Tunchang stood behind the door, and saw that the gap in the city gate was open enough for him to pass, so he strode towards Hu Mingjian.

Zhang Tunchang first hugged Hu Mingjian, said hello, and then trembled and showed a flattering smile to Niu Ben beside the Black King. Niu Ben saw that Zhang Tunchang was showing favor to him, and he didn't pay attention to it, but just snorted coldly, and the black king on the side seemed to sense it, and he also made a sound.

Zhang Tunchang saw that Niu Ben didn't care about him, and when he heard the voice of the Black King, he shivered all over, and took two steps towards Hu Mingjian's fitness, and talked with Hu Mingjian in a dry voice.

Hu Mingjian couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Zhang Tunchang was so afraid of Niu Ben, and while talking with Zhang Tunchang enthusiastically, he thought: "In this world, ghosts and gods are really afraid of wicked people, knowing that Niu Ben listens to me, but this person is not willing to deal with Niu Ben, but is willing to fellowship with me, asking for that ethereal sense of security. ”

Just when Hu Mingjian and Zhang Tunchang had no match to speak, the city gate was finally opened, and the four soldiers with swords and shields rushed to Hu Mingjian and the three of them from the city gate, and stopped at a place about ten steps away from the three of them, and they were unevenly lined up in two columns, facing each other on the left and right.

Seeing that the soldiers were lined up, Zhang Tunchang whispered to Hu Mingjian and Niu Ben: "Mr. Hu, Niu Zhuangshi, let's go." ”

Hu Mingjian nodded, but Niu Ben ignored the dozens of soldiers on both sides of him as if they were nothing, and walked forward, and the Black King didn't need to be led, and naturally followed Niu Ben.

Hu Mingjian looked at Niu Ben's attitude, shook his head with a smile, accused Zhang Tunchang, and also led the horse and followed.

Zhang Tunchang saw that Hu Mingjian and the others had already left, and dozens of soldiers were guarding and watching, but he was still not at ease, and went up on tiptoe, accompanied by Hu Mingjian.

When Hu Mingjian saw Zhang Tunchang coming up, he didn't say anything, but continued to chat with him about what he had and didn't have.

Although Niu Ben and the Black King walked in front, they always paid attention to Hu Mingjian's movements with their spare eyes, and when they saw him talking to Zhang Tunchang, Niu Ben naturally slowed down his progress.

As the group of people went deeper and deeper into the county, the news that Hu Mingjian and Niu Ben had captured a tiger outside the city spread more and more widely, and the more bizarre it became, especially Niu Ben's friends were even more excited after hearing the news that their eldest brother had captured a tiger, and they spread propaganda everywhere, saying as if they had seen Niu Ben and the tiger with their own eyes, and they didn't know how much private information was mixed in it.

This also attracted more people to come and watch, wanting to see what the hero who can subdue the tiger looks like.

There are not many families in Moling County, but there is a family that is the overlord of Moling County, and even the county order has to give him three points, this family surname is Tao, and there are still people in the family who are officials in Luoyang, the imperial capital of Luoyang, this person also followed General Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen Taiwei to quell the border rebellion, and can be regarded as a talent of Yunwen Yunwu, which is the future Xuzhou Mu - Tao Qian.

As Tao Qian's own family, this Tao family can also be regarded as an old family, although the scale is not large, the power is not very strong, and it can only be regarded as a second or third rate in the family, but there is still some right to speak on the land of one acre and three points in Danyang County.

This Tao family has a son, named Tao Lei, who is Tao Qian's nephew and the son of Tao Qian's eldest brother. This person relied on his family background on weekdays to gather a group of flattering pimples, and he bullied and dominated the market in Moling County, and it was not uncommon to rob people's daughters and hurt people, but he still had never done a major event that disregarded people's lives. In order to protect his younger brother Tao Qian's reputation in the government and the opposition, his father punished him several times, but Tao Lei still refused to change his teachings, and over time, Tao Lei's father was too lazy to pay attention to him.

However, in the past half a month, Tao Lei seems to have cultivated himself, he has never caused trouble, and he has been praised by Master Tao.

On this day, Tao Lei had lunch with a group of splashers, and was wandering around the county to eliminate food, and couldn't help but hear someone talking about what kind of tiger, entering the city, etc., which attracted Tao Lei's attention.

Tao Lei stretched out his hand to summon a splash beside him, and instructed him: "Go and inquire, what are these untouchables talking about!" ”

Splashing the skin, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to investigate, and after a while, the splash returned to Tao Lei's side and said: "Young master, something strange happened in our county today!" ”

Tao Lei became even more curious when he heard it, and couldn't help scolding: "You are a killer, you can't fight, hurry up and talk to my son." ”

Splashy didn't dare to show off any more, and told what he inquired about.

This time, Tao Lei was more interested, and said to the left and right: "Anyway, there is nothing to do today, you might as well accompany the young master and me to watch it, and the young master will also have a lively time and have fun with the people." ”

The left and right splashes have long been accustomed to Tao Lei's thoughts, and he has never seen such a miracle after living so much, so he applauded for a while.

Tao Lei nodded complacently, and at that moment, someone asked passers-by for the direction, leading Tao Lei to Hu Mingjian and the others to watch.

Tao Lei and his entourage didn't have much time to walk, and they found that a place was surrounded by spectators, and they had to rely on soldiers to open the way to barely walk.

As soon as he saw this situation, he said to Tao Lei: "Young master, I'm afraid this is here." ”

Tao Lei nodded and said, "Clear a way." ”

More than a dozen splashes on the left and right stepped forward to open the way, and Tao Lei only left two guards brought out from the Tao family, still close to him.

The dozen or so splashes drove the people away with their hands, and the people were originally angry, but when they saw Tao Lei standing not far away, they had to give up this idea, who didn't know that they had offended this ancestor, but they didn't know what means to use to retaliate back.

Hu Mingjian was worried about how to break through the encirclement of the people at this time, it was only a third of the way but he had already walked for two or three hours, the two people who had not eaten lunch were already hungry, Zhang Tunchang stood on the side and didn't speak, hot and sweaty, but he didn't dare to take off the armor on his body, he now began to wonder if he paid too much attention to a tiger, looking at the group of people in front of him, he swore not to say that it was a tiger, even a dragon came here It is estimated that it can be killed by these people with one punch and one punch.

Although Hu Mingjian found that there was some commotion among the people, he didn't care, he just thought that it was the people who couldn't bear to push.

The pimpies finally drove the people out of a road that could accommodate people, so they came back to invite Tao Lei, Tao Lei walked over with his hands behind his back and shaking his head.

As soon as he arrived, Tao Lei stared at Niu Ben and the Black King with glowing eyes, and Hu Mingjian on the side was automatically ignored by him.

Tao Lei looked at it for a while, sighed, and whispered something.

The pranksters on the side didn't hear it clearly, thinking that this little ancestor had fallen in love with the black king's tiger, and thought to themselves, this little ancestor had never played anything in this Moling County, but this tiger was afraid that it was the first time he saw it, and he should be tempted.

Someone immediately said, "Young master, I like this tiger, so why don't I wait for a means to get it." ”

Before the words fell, someone on the side denied: "No, no, this Niu Ben is not an ordinary person, there are more people under him than we combined, and he is a brutal character, not easy to provoke." ”

Someone on the side retorted: "This Niu Ben is not easy to mess with, but it also depends on who is in front of it, in front of the young master, in front of the Tao family, that is a bigger ant, with a little force, this Niu Ben can still obey." ”

As soon as these words came out, many splashes laughed.

The guards beside Tao Lei, hearing this, were afraid of this initiative, so they hurriedly said: "Young master, you have only been better for half a month, you haven't caused anything, you just got praised by the master, you can't do it again so quickly!" ”

Tao Lei shook his head, muttered in an inexplicable tone: "Niu Ben, Niu Ben ......" and turned to leave.

Just as Tao Lei turned around, Hu Mingjian's gaze suddenly shifted.

Hu Mingjian glanced aimlessly in the sea of people, and was suddenly stunned, as if he saw a familiar face, and then looked at it but it was gone, so he had to shake his head and secretly said that he was dazzled.

Niu Ben shook his head when he saw Hu Mingjian and asked, "Brother Hu, but I'm not feeling well, otherwise I'll go and open a road." ”

Hu Mingjian smiled and said to Niu Ben: "No, no, I just vaguely saw an acquaintance just now, I should have seen it wrong, don't care, these people may not be able to see this excitement in their lives, don't drive them away, let them see!" ”

Niu Ben heard Hu Mingjian's words, nodded, said no more, and just waited for the soldiers to push the people back little by little, and then he waited for him to walk home slowly.
