Chapter 84: Trouble
"This is what my wife taught me, the last time I went home, the old woman heard that other women had stripped me of my clothes, and she was so angry that she almost pulled out my ears. It's all your fault, today you did it again, and my wife knows that she has to be angry again. Lao Cai Tou expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Sanpo.
Jiang Cheng'er covered her mouth and snickered, Aunt Cai is jealous, women like to be jealous no matter how old they are.
Zhao Sanpo was stunned and replied: "You are stupid, if you don't tell her, she won't know." What kind of flying vinegar do you eat when you are old, she pulls your ears, won't you run? ”
"I don't lie to my wife, tell her everything, she is still angry after pulling her left ear, so I tilt my head and let her pull her right ear." Lao Cai Tou said this sentence naturally, with a faint smile on his face.
Jiang Cheng'er listened to it and felt warm in her heart, the relationship between Uncle Cai and his wife is really good, this is a normal relationship between husband and wife, you love me.
This shows that in ancient times, when men were inferior to women, not all women had a lower status than their husbands, such as Aunt Cai who was held by her husband.
Jiang Cheng'er thought of her mother and the Jiang drunkard, and her mother was abused and tortured by the Jiang drunkard all day long. Staying away from scumbags as soon as possible is the most correct choice.
The conversation on Jiang Cheng'er's side fell into Han Baichuan's ears word for word.
He didn't mean to listen to Jiang Cheng'er's movements, but when she passed by him just now, his mind was unconsciously attracted to her and swam to her.
Han Baichuan overheard the words of an old man selling vegetables, and felt like listening to a book from heaven. In his cognition, the husband is the wife's heaven, the husband says the same, and the wife only obeys.
A wife is not allowed to pull her husband's ears, even if she raises her voice to her husband.
He never felt that there was anything wrong before, but today he has a new understanding, and it turns out that the fireworks life of ordinary couples is not moving.
As soon as Jiang Cheng'er put the soap on the table, she saw the thugs who came to collect the protection money last time, and they came over menacingly. This time there were more people, more than a dozen.
Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly wrapped the soap and stuffed it into a bucket.
But it was already late, and the gangsters left aside the other stalls and came straight to Jiang Cheng'er, looking at the posture as if they were specifically coming at her.
Lao Caitou shrank back in fright, he couldn't forget that last time this group of bullies turned his vegetable stall upside down, and even pulled out a copper plate he hid in his shoes and snatched it.
The ruffian Zhu Chop headed by the ground ruffian was fat and strong, with a face full of meat, holding a sugar cane snatched from a fruit stand, and gnawing on it as he walked.
Zhu Papi walked straight to Jiang Cheng'er and stopped, his triangular eyes glared, and the fierce light appeared.
The ruffians then quickly gathered and formed a semi-encirclement in front of Jiang Cheng'er's stall, each of them carrying a sharp axe, like a group of vicious wolves with fangs open and ready to attack.
Chu Dalang and Chu Sanlang stepped forward and protected Jiang Cheng'er behind them.
Jiang Cheng'er saw that there were many ruffians, and she was afraid that the eldest brother and the third brother would suffer, so she squeezed out from the two elder brothers and motioned for them to stand back for the time being, and not to be impatient.
Jiang Cheng'er calmed down and greeted Zhu Papi with a smile: "The little woman has seen all the heroes, I don't know what advice the heroes have come to visit?" ”
Zhu Papi very rudely pointed at Jiang Cheng'er's face with sugar cane, almost poking the tip of her nose.
He chewed the crushed sugarcane in his mouth, spit it out at Jiang Cheng'er's feet, and scolded when he came up.
"Nonsense, of course Lao Tzu is here to collect protection money, otherwise he would have come to see your ugly face. With your appearance, if you sleep with Lao Tzu in vain, Lao Tzu is disgusting. ”
Chu Dalang and Chu Sanlang couldn't allow others to humiliate Jiang Cheng'er, they both stepped forward and clenched their fists, wanting to teach Zhu Papi a lesson, Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly grabbed their arms.
Jiang Cheng'er tilted her head and looked at Zhu Peel, with a very contemptuous gaze, as if she regarded him as a bed bug and ant. She didn't need to speak, just a look was enough to show her deep disdain for him.
Zhu Papi was so excited that he was angry, "Ugly village girl, you are a psychopath, what kind of eyes do you have, Lao Tzu poked you blind in the eyes of a dog." You come to Lao Tzu's territory to sell things, and those who know each other quickly take the money to give Lao Tzu an offering! ”
Jiang Cheng'er pretended to be very surprised: "The whole world is not the king's land, all the land in the world belongs to the emperor, you claim that this is your territory, could it be that you are the emperor?" ”
Zhu Papi never expected Jiang Cheng'er to use this trick, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Jiang Cheng'er didn't give him time to react, she raised her arms and shouted, "Shocking news, explosive news!" Folks, the emperor is here, come to our Fengping Town Weifu for a private visit, everyone come and meet the emperor! ”
Jiang Cheng'er's voice was crisp and bright, and half of the people on the street could hear it.
Han Baichuan was secretly frightened in his heart, his sword eyebrows like a mountain peak were frowned, this girl was really bold, and she dared to say anything. She has the courage, but if she doesn't do it, she'll get into trouble.
When everyone heard that the emperor was coming, they were all amazed and ran this way.
Soon, countless people swarmed in, and a dozen thugs were swept away like a flood.
Jiang Cheng'er stood on the wooden barrel and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet, all stand back, so as not to collide with the holy car, and you need to maintain order when you meet the emperor." ”
Everyone took a few steps back, leaving a gap, and the thugs got up from the ground and slapped the dirt on their bodies in embarrassment.
Jiang Cheng'er shouted respectfully at the stunned Zhu Peel: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The people who heard the news were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the people in the back couldn't see the front at all, and they felt more and more mysterious.
They were afraid of being disrespectful to the emperor, and they didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so they followed Jiang Cheng'er and shouted "Long live the emperor", and some even knelt on the ground.
Zhu Papi was shocked by the deafening sound of visiting, and he seemed to be floating in the clouds and fog, and his heart was filled with a huge sense of expansion.
He couldn't help but be complacent, he was walking sideways in Fengping Town, no one dared not sell his face, he stomped his foot, and the ground in Fengping Town shook three times.
The vendors of the entire bazaar and even the entire Fengping Town were all respectful to him, paid him money and made offerings, and gave him gifts for shelter, no one dared to disrespect him, he was not the emperor of Fengping Town.
He turned to face the black-pressed crowd that had bowed to him, and the vanity in his heart was so satisfied that it swelled to the point that it almost flew up.
He waved his hand excitedly, and replied hot-headedly: "Zhongqing is flat." ”
Jiang Cheng'er sneered, Zhu Paopi really thought he was the emperor, this bastard was not far from death.
There are almost no people on the set who don't know Zhu Papi, and everyone is very surprised and talks about it.
"Hey, how can he be the emperor?"
"Wrong, wrong, nonsense, how can the emperor be...... Bully. ”
"He dares to pretend to be the emperor, this is a big crime to kill the head, and he will be exterminated by the nine clans."
Only then did Zhu Papi realize the seriousness of the problem, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he hurriedly denied it: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm not the emperor!" This woman is talking nonsense, she is yelling nonsense, and it has nothing to do with me! ”
Jiang Cheng'er retorted sharply: "Just now you said in person that the land is yours, and you personally shouted 'Zhongqing Pingshen', which is the emperor's special language, which shows how eager you are to be the emperor." You intend to rebel and rebel, and you deserve to be punished with capital punishment for your crimes! ”
Zhu Papi was so shocked that he stammered and explained, feeling that he couldn't tell 10,000 mouths.
Everyone didn't listen to his explanation, and accused him of committing the great crime of rebellion, and he deserved death.
The more he drew the skin, the darker and darker, so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and finally he roared angrily: "Shut up! Who dares to scold Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu let the brothers destroy him! ”
Jiang Cheng'er raised her voice and said, "Folks, we have been oppressed by bullies, it's time to resist." The bully is lawless, even the emperor has changed his pretence, if we don't bring him to justice, the emperor will know that the blame will be blamed, and our entire Fengping Town will suffer. Everyone quickly stepped forward to grab him and handed him over to Li Zheng to deal with. ”
Everyone thinks that Jiang Cheng'er has a point, and they all step forward to catch the bully together, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, it is just a matter of time.
The crowd is angry, and how can a dozen thugs suppress it.
Soon the thugs were knocked down, and Zhu Papi was grabbed by the arm and tied up with rope.
Zhu Papi shouted: "You fools, Lao Tzu will make you pay!" Lao Tzu will be able to come out soon, and when the time comes, you will be beaten and your protection fee will be doubled! ”
"Zhu Papi, you dare to be arrogant when you are dying, go to the underworld to collect your protection money." Jiang Cheng'er raised her eyebrows, "This thief has been a disaster in the countryside for many years and has committed many unforgivable crimes, so everyone quickly sent him to the yamen to get rid of the harm." ”
Zhu Papi laughed arrogantly: "A group of fools, do you know who Lao Tzu is? The yamen is the place where Lao Tzu walks every day, Lao Tzu enters with the front foot, and the back foot can come out. ”
One of the thugs picked up the axe from the ground, squinted his eyes, and regained his ferocity: "Tell you this group of things that don't have long eyes, our boss is Li Zheng's brother-in-law, and you dare to arrest him, just to find death!" ”
It turned out that Zhu Papi was Li Zheng's brother-in-law, no wonder he was overbearing in the bazaar, and he didn't care about officials.
The people are afraid of being officials, and in this poor and remote country, the emperor is far away, and the county officials are not as good as the current management. Lord Li Zheng is the leader of Fengping Town, everything is up to him, who dares to offend his brother-in-law?
Just as Zhu Papi shouted, even if he is caught, he can be released soon, and with his ferocity and viciousness, he will definitely launch a terrible revenge.
The scene instantly quieted down, and the indignant people were so frightened that they closed their mouths, and the strong men who stepped forward to tie up the red skin were especially frightened, and they shrank back one by one.
Zhu Papi was triumphant, a pair of triangular eyes glared a few times, glaring at Jiang Cheng'er angrily, and a hideous light appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Cheng'er was not afraid: "The thief surnamed Zhu, you pretended to be the emperor and committed the great crime of exterminating the nine clans, and Li Zheng also suffered, now no one can cover you, you just wait to die." ”
Zhu Papi scolded viciously: "Dead woman, you wait for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will sell you into the kiln and make you a dirty slut who is pressed by thousands of people!" ”
