Chapter 313: Putting Down a Piece
Bai Ling stayed up for most of the night, and was persuaded by the girl to rest, but he had a good night's sleep.
The peasant family has the habit of cat winter, and breakfast can only be eaten at the end of the day.
The conditions of the village chief's house were not good, so they cooked millet porridge for Bai Ling's master and servant, and cut a salted duck egg, which was already something they could handle.
Bai Lingcai drank a few sips of millet porridge when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the courtyard, and he lost his appetite.
"Let's go out and have a look." Bai Ling girl said.
Don't say that in the farmhouse, that is, in the town, for those who don't want to be seen, Bai Ling doesn't need to be condescending.
The girl soon went and returned, but her face was green with anger.
"This town mayor is really not ashamed, he even asked the matchmaker to come to the matchmaker, but it is clear that he is forcing the county lord to agree, otherwise he will come in directly to rob people!" The girl hated the way.
"Let the matchmaker in." Bai Ling had the idea of delaying time, although he didn't like it, he still said so.
"My father asked me to come and tell the county lord that I am afraid that I will not be able to send those people away today. The county lord hurry up and follow me, go out through the window of our house, and let's escape. ”
The village chief's granddaughter entered the house with a pale face and opened the window behind her as she spoke.
After seeing the situation in the backyard, Dong sat down on the kang and said with a crying voice:
"This group of bastards actually blocked the road behind them, what can we do now?"
The girl hurriedly climbed onto the kang, and when she saw that the people behind her were also coming with weapons, she was finally in a hurry.
"They all have things in their hands, and the people in the village are afraid that they can't stop it, so let's think of a way." The girl said with red eyes.
"Don't panic." Bai Ling tidied up his dress and ordered: "Help me bring the big coat, you two will hide in the house for a while, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to go out, remember?" ”
"Girl!" The girl subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Obedient, I have my own way to deal with the mayor, if you go with me, I can't protect you. The people of Fucheng are coming soon, and I can't let the villagers be innocently harmed because of me. Wait until I return safely. Bai Ling's tone was unwavering, as if she didn't know that the mayor was beating her mind.
The girl wanted to say something, but when she saw Bai Ling's eyes, she didn't dare to persuade again.
Probably thinking about saluting first and then soldiering, the people sent by the mayor did not take the initiative to do it, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.
Bai Ling wore a fox fur and walked slowly to the gate, his palm-sized face in the furry hat, which made it even more delicate, so that a few thugs who were used to it couldn't help but take a few more looks, and they were lustful in their hearts.
"Look at this battle, the county lord will not go to the mayor's mansion with you, and it will not work." Bai Ling sneered, bent down and opened the two boxes, revealing the so-called dowry inside.
There was a piece of cloth in a box, and it was all the kind of rough goods that rewarded the subordinates.
"Now that the county lord has figured it out, it also saves me from the trouble of being a matchmaker. Our girls from Quanshui Town, who doesn't want to marry the mayor of the town, will eat and drink spicy food for the rest of their lives......"
"But the county lord is not a girl from Quanshui Town."
Bai Ling interrupted the matchmaker's words, and said with a smile:
"It is said that being a matchmaker is to accumulate merit by pulling the red line. But the lord of this county looks, it is not enough for a person like you to go to the eighteen layers of hell after death, and you dare to earn any unintentional silver. ”
The matchmaker lowered her face coldly, flicked her handkerchief and got into the carriage, not planning to pay attention to Bai Ling.
In normal times, it's amazing to be a matchmaker for the county lord.
But this marriage, the matchmaker doesn't expect to end well, as long as she can earn money.
Along the way, I went to the town house, and those who didn't know thought that the mayor really wanted to marry, and many people were curious about who carried people to the mayor's backyard regardless of the life or death of their daughters.
In order to receive gifts, the mayor also invited some local rich gentry to drink the wedding wine, but he did not decorate the yard carefully, but just hung a few red lanterns at random, which shows how perfunctory it is.
"The bride is here, and the mayor should prepare to worship the church." The matchmaker laughed and trembled, and invited her with a loud voice.
"Haha, the mayor of this town is fortunate to marry the county lord to fill the house, everyone is not drunk today, but you have to drink to your heart's content." The mayor touched his bulging belly, shouted happily, and walked out.
Just listening to the mayor's voice to fill in the house, everyone understands that even if the bride has an identity, she will not be treated well.
But in Quanshui Town, the mayor of the town is the emperor of the soil, and everyone can only smile and say congratulations.
Although Bai Ling was not tied up, a bunch of guards were pressing step by step, and Rao was unwilling, so she still entered the gate.
"Let's take a look, the new lady of this mayor is beautiful, right? Compared with the unblessed women in the forefront, they are not a little better-looking. ”
The mayor of the town has always been unscrupulous in his words, and even if there are several ex-wives' maiden families among the guests, he does not give half of the face.
"Did Mayor Mare's drink too much? The lord of this county was invited to drink the wine, but he was not the new lady in the mouth of the mayor. ”
Bai Ling smiled faintly, and threw a silver ingot casually, just hitting the mayor's hand holding his stomach.
"This is the gift money from the county lord, the mayor of the town should let people register it."
The town's face was full of meat, trembling because of Bai Ling's disobedience, and there was only one gap in the cross-eyed staring.
"Don't be embarrassed! If you don't marry Ben Zhenzhen today, then be the mayor's concubine, anyway, the mayor of this town will do you tonight, and you can only follow the mayor of this town in this life. The mayor shouted.
"A mayor with no grade, the county lord really doesn't care about it, not to mention that even the toad is a few points better than you, and the county lord will not take a fancy to you unless he is blind."
Bai Ling sneered, looked around at the family members behind him, and said disdainfully:
"With your little manpower, do you think you can coerce the lord of this county? Don't forget, how the lord of this county went from a peasant girl to today's honor. ”
"You're threatening Mayor Ben?" The mayor glared at Bai Ling in displeasure, waved his fat hand, and shouted: "Come on, quickly tie up this slut for me, the mayor of this town will go to the cave now." ”
"Mayor Mare!" Many sycophants applauded.
Originally, the family who planned to tie Bai Ling up, when he heard the order, immediately stepped forward, but before he could touch Bai Ling, he fell to the ground one by one as if he had been stupefied with bones.
"You bunch of shit! Before the mayor of this ...... could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a thud, and the other guests also fell to the ground one after another. "Get the antidote, or ......"
The mayor of the town has been drinking all year round, and he has long emptied his body, and he is the first person to completely faint.
"As the mayor of the town, I don't want to serve the court, but I eat the people, and I have my own government to sentence you. The lord of this county has already given the prefect of the mansion, and this spring town should also change the sky. ”
Bai Ling let out a faint voice and looked up at the clear blue sky.
"The county lord spared his life, we were also forced by the mayor, every family has a good daughter who was ruined by him, we are willing to correct his crimes, the county lord let us go."
In the crowd, someone shouted loudly, which was immediately echoed by most of the people.
Glancing at everyone, Bai Ling also understood the truth that the law does not blame the public, and he can't uproot all the rich households in Quanshui County.
"Whether you are guilty or not, you have the government to deal with it, the county lord has no right to interfere, and the prefect will handle it impartially."
